Demon Emperor and Martial Emperor started to feel hopeless after failing to get the Red Emperor Seal three times in a row. Huangfu Fengchen and Long Yue didn't even dare to try, which comforted them.
After all, they couldn't get it, and Long Yue and the others couldn't get it either. Everyone would return empty-handed, and no one had the qualifications to laugh at each other. If either Long Yue or Huangfu Fengchen obtained the Scarlet Emperor Seal, it would be a tragedy for them.
But what they didn't know was that it was actually a tragedy for them.
They knew that Long Chen had to reach the Earth Martial Arts Realm before he could leave. Long Yue and Huangfu Fengchen were trying their best to help Long Chen reach the Earth Martial Arts Realm. As soon as they came out, they didn't even think about recovering their Genuine Core Energy. They started to mock Long Chen.
Demon Emperor was familiar with Long Chen, so he said, "What's the point of cultivating? If it weren't for the Emperor Flame Bead, he would be a good-for-nothing. Now that he has the Emperor Flame Bead, he has reached the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven State. But with his talent and foundation, it will take ten years for him to reach the Earth Martial Arts Realm."
Martial Emperor Yang Ningfeng also said sarcastically, "Ten years, ten years. We don't know where the Fire God Land is. If we stay here for ten years, it would be strange if we didn't die. Anyway, no one can get the Red Emperor Seal. Among the four of us, who wants to reach the fourth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, without a great opportunity, who can reach it in ten years? So, I think we should forget about the Red Emperor Seal.
Demon Emperor said, "Brother Yang, you mean you want to give up?"
"Isn't that what Brother Jiang thinks?" Yang Ningfeng asked.
They all knew that with their strength, it was impossible for them to obtain the Red King Seal. Moreover, the Demon King still had the huge Ancient Demon Area with tens of thousands of people waiting for him. Without the Demon King as a pillar, the Ancient Demon Area would not last long. Therefore, the Demon King was quite worried.
As for Martial Emperors, he was currently one of the three Martial Emperors. If he were to wait a few years and go out, he was not sure if he would still be considered a top figure.
"Let's try one last time. If it doesn't work, we won't be accompanying you anymore," Jiang Wuxie said.
Therefore, they made one last attempt, and the result was undoubtedly tragic. Among them, the most they could do was not reach the distance of the Crimson Emperor Seal. If they did not consider their lives, they could barely reach 50 meters, but once they obtained the Crimson Emperor Seal, they would probably not be able to return alive.
"Long Yue, Huangfu Fengchen, just wait here for this boy to reach the Earth Martial Arts Realm. Come out after a few years. We won't keep you company," the Demon Emperor said with a sneer.
"If Patriarch Huangfu isn't worried about the safety of the clan, there's nothing we can do." Yang Ningfeng also smiled.
In other words, if Huangfu Fengchen didn't go out, the Huangfu Clan would be in trouble. Of course, this wasn't just a threat. The Huangfu Clan and the Ancient Devil Region were nominally subservient to the Wushu Alliance, but that wasn't the case. Both of them had their own autonomy.
However, if the Huangfu Clan didn't have Huangfu Fengchen, it would be normal for it to be annexed, just like Yang Ningfeng's Wind God Religion.
After that, Jiang Wuxie and Yang Ningfeng looked at each other, then left through the miniature Universe Transmitting Formation.
Long Yue and Huangfu Fengchen didn't bother to pay attention to them. They were all desperately trying to get the Crimson Emperor Seal, so they didn't notice Long Chen's progress. If they had paid attention, they would never have said ten years.
Ten years.
Long Chen only needed three more days to complete the task.
After the Demon Emperor and the Martial Emperor left, Long Chen could concentrate on his cultivation. Long Yue and Huangfu Fengchen, who had two different styles of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, helped him a lot, so he knew how to learn from others and form his own Earth Martial Arts Realm.
Long Chen was immersed in the Earth Martial Arts Fist Manual. He was closely connected to the earth, and as he practiced the fist technique over and over again, he benefited a lot from it, and his progress was rapid. Three days gradually passed. Under the gratified gazes of Long Yue and Huangfu Fengchen, Long Chen's progress was within their expectations, and even exceeded their expectations.
It was the fifth day.
"The pulse of the earth …"
Although he was standing on the heart of the earth, Long Chen couldn't feel its pulse. This was the most important thing. As long as he could integrate his fist art with the pulse of the earth, he could communicate with the earth and obtain the power of the earth. Then, Long Chen could complete the last step, which was to condense the Martial Spirit in his sea of consciousness.
Of course, the last step was also the most difficult one.
"How can I feel the pulse of the earth?" Long Chen thought hard until he racked his brains.
"No, what I need is not quick success, but natural and intoxicated. As long as I continue, I can do it." After a long time of silence, Long Chen quickly figured out the key.
"That's it."
He already had the form and spirit. Every time he practiced the fist art, he had reached the same level as Long Yue and the others. He had both the speed of Long Yue and the elegance of Huangfu Fengchen.
"Most people live on the earth all their lives. The earth is the real root. At this moment, I am integrated into the earth."
The pulse of the earth needed to be experienced.
Bang, bang, bang. These sounds, at a certain moment when Long Chen was intoxicated, rumbled in Long Chen's ears.
This was the feeling …
Bang.
One punch.
With Long Chen's efforts, they gradually matched. The pulse of the earth did not restrict his punches. Long Chen felt that his feet seemed to have grown roots and were firmly rooted in the earth. He felt the power of the earth, absorbed the power of the earth, and slowly grew.
Finally, at a certain moment, Long Chen punched the last time. With a loud bang, everything began to fall into place.
The khaki-colored liquid flowed from Long Chen's feet into Long Chen's body and instantly turned into a khaki-colored cocoon, completely submerging Long Chen. Endless Earthvein Spiritual Qi completely enveloped Long Chen.
Seeing this scene, Long Yue and Huangfu Fengchen both laughed.
They knew that this was a sign that Long Chen had touched the threshold. When everything was over, Long Chen would definitely reach the Earth Martial Arts Realm.
"He said it would take ten days, but it only took him five days. This guy …" A gratified smile appeared on Long Yue's face.
"Hey, the legendary ice beauty actually smiled, and her smile is so beautiful. It's really a pity that she doesn't smile normally." Huangfu Fengchen said loudly.
Long Yue's smile immediately froze. Then, her smile disappeared. She glanced at Huangfu Fengchen coldly and then paid attention to Long Chen's things.
Huangfu Fengchen cursed in his heart and also paid attention to Long Chen's movements.
The mentality of the two of them was completely different. Long Yue rarely smiled, but Huangfu Fengchen was the kind of person who couldn't live without smiling.
At this moment, Long Chen was at a critical moment.
"I have completely comprehended the Gist of Trueness of the Earth Martial Arts Realm. Of course, it's only the first level. Next, it should be the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi entering my body, turning my Eighteen Star Rivers into Martial Veins, and the nine apertures into Martial Apertures. The huge Earth Vein Spiritual Qi, together with my Genuine Qi, will be transformed into Genuine Essence, and then the Martial Soul will be born."
With guidance, Long Chen could clearly understand these steps.
Endless Earth Vein Spiritual Qi rushed towards Long Chen's body. The cocoon on his body was like a whirlpool, gathering all the nearby Earth Vein Spiritual Qi into Long Chen's body.
Long Chen was completely submerged in the sea of liquid Earth Vein Spiritual Qi.
"It's starting …"
Endless Earth Vein Spiritual Qi began to flow into his body. This was a power that was many times stronger than his body. The khaki liquid Earth Vein Spiritual Qi quickly connected with Long Chen's Dragon Soul Genuine Qi. At this moment, Long Chen quickly transformed into the Dragon Soul.
Whoosh.
When the two types of energy met, the result was a fusion. The blood-red true energy fused with the liquid spiritual energy of the earth veins, dyeing the liquid spiritual energy of the earth veins from earthen yellow to blood-red, gradually becoming Long Chen's own power.
After the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi was added to the gaseous Dragon Soul Genuine Qi, it fused and transformed into liquid Dragon Soul Genuine Qi, which flowed in Long Chen's Eighteen Heavenly Rivers and nine major acupuncture points.
The huge power soon exceeded the limits of the Heavenly Rivers and acupuncture points.
Long Chen also felt that it was difficult for him to control such a huge power.
At this moment, more power in the Dragon Soul Genuine Qi directly fused with the Star Veins and acupuncture points. Under a formless transformation, the invisible Star Veins gradually turned into thick blood-red Martial Veins in Long Chen's body. The acupuncture points, which were originally the size of an egg, expanded rapidly under the assimilation and nourishment of the Dragon Soul Genuine Qi. They grew to the size of a fist and became sturdier and stronger.
Of course, the acupuncture points were still very small on the outside, or even non-existent.
The nine Martial Apertures and eighteen Martial Veins gradually took shape under the nourishment of the Dragon Soul Genuine Qi. The nine Martial Apertures were stronger, wider, and sturdier than the original nine acupuncture points. The same went for the Martial Veins. However, under the nourishment of the Dragon Soul Genuine Qi, the eighteen Martial Veins that covered Long Chen's body and intertwined in Long Chen's body seemed to have a slight change.
Taking a closer look, the eighteen Martial Veins occupying Long Chen's body had faint dragon scale patterns on them. The dragon head, dragon tail, dragon whiskers, everything was vivid and lifelike. Each Martial Vein was like a blood-red divine dragon entrenched in Long Chen's body.
A total of eighteen divine dragons turned into Martial Veins and entrenched in Long Chen's body.
This was the influence of the Dragon Soul Genuine Qi.
The eighteen blood-red divine dragons brought a deep shock to Long Chen. He had a premonition that his Martial Veins were much stronger than others, and there would even be more miraculous changes in the future.
The Martial Vein was something that Long Chen had to maintain in the three Martial Realms. The three Martial Realms had a total of twenty-seven levels. These twenty-seven levels were much harder to achieve than the four basic Martial Realms with thirty-six levels.
It also took a lot more time.
If Long Chen couldn't break through the God Martial Realm and reach the levels after the God Martial Realm, then the eighteen Martial Veins in the form of divine dragons would accompany him for the rest of his life.
Of course, this was only the change of the Martial Veins.
Next, it was time to condense the Martial Soul!
