The violet-gold polearm buzzed as it returned to Long Chen’s spiritual space.

With violet blood as the connection between them, the polearm was like Long Chen’s own divine weapon, and was capable of freely entering and exiting Long Chen’s spiritual space.

There was another terrifying existence slumbering in Long Chen’s spiritual space—Dragonbone Evilmoon. And right now, Evilmoon looked absolutely frightening. It was covered in Blood Qi, and it looked like a blood-colored sun emitting baleful rays of crimson light. However, the violet-gold polearm didn’t even seem to acknowledge Evilmoon. It maintained its distance from Evilmoon and just quietly floated there.

It also did not speak directly to Long Chen. But the energy fluctuations it gave off allowed Long Chen to sense a message: Although the violet-gold polearm had guided the process, it had not controlled it. Long Chen’s new violet blood eyes were not something it had given him, but something he had coincidentally awakened thanks to this opportunity. The moment he had awakened this ability, he had known instinctively what it was called. But according to the violet-gold polearm, the Earth Dao Violet Eyes were not a known bloodline ability of the violet blood race. In fact, such a divine ability had never been awakened by any member of their race.

Long Chen clenched his fists tightly. The violet blood race’s three thousand runes had condensed together and been refined into the Earth Dao Violet Eyes.

In other words, the Earth Dao Violet Eyes contained the three thousand laws of the violet blood race, as well as the bloodline divine abilities and divine techniques of over thirty million disciples. With them, Long Chen did not need a Saint Body or even hand seals; just by opening the Earth Dao Violet Eyes, he could manifest divine abilities instantaneously.

Just now, he had used the Saint Sword Judgment, and he had deliberately used only his own power instead of the violet-gold polearm’s power. And as it turned out, the Saint Sword Judgment that was summoned instantaneously through the Earth Dao Violet Eyes was not just more powerful, but it also consumed less energy. Unleashing it had only used a third of his bloodline power.

If he spent more time casting it, then its power would grow, while the energy consumption would be reduced. Just by adding another half a breath’s time, its power would at least double.

Furthermore, he had only just awakened this new divine ability. He still had a great deal he could improve. In addition, Long Chen had a feeling that this divine ability’s true power would only manifest once he became a Divine Sovereign. As for why that was, he wasn’t sure himself.

Long Chen returned to the plaza. Shen Qingxue and the others were still meditating, doing their best to digest Long Chen’s comprehension and combat experience. The powerful energy radiated by these thirty million disciples gave even Long Chen heart palpitations.

The violet-gold polearm’s plan had truly been incredible. It had allowed them to instantly soar into the heavens. Now it felt like all his efforts fighting and killing through the mortal world to the immortal world had all been for them.

However, Long Chen also realized something else. Now that they had absorbed his experience and comprehension, it had left a mark on them. Their paths were now connected to his. In other words, if it turned out that Long Chen’s path was wrong or could not be walked any further, these disciples would also no longer be able to advance past that point. They had tied their fates together.

This was mutual trust. Long Chen gave them his past, and they entrusted their futures to him.

“Big brother, you’re back!”

When Long Chen arrived at the plaza, Shen Qingxue was the first to awaken.

Her aura was completely different from before. Her gaze was as sharp as a blade, and her eyes flashed when she looked at Long Chen; it was as if she was constantly looking for weak points. Furthermore, her aura had merged with heaven and earth. All it would take was a single thought for her to mobilize the power of heaven and earth. The laws were under her control.

She had become stronger, and not just by a little bit. Long Chen had defeated her with ease before, but now, even though he himself had gotten stronger, he could not defeat Shen Qingxue without effort.

“Big brother, thank you. I really never realized what a child I was... I was never able to compare myself to a real expert before!” said Shen Qingxue emotionally.

As someone who once thought of herself as standing at the apex of all geniuses, seeing Long Chen’s path to power made her realize just how naive she had been.

“There’s still a long road ahead of you. Your path to the peak has only just started. During this time, look after our brothers and sisters. Don’t let them slack off!” Long Chen reminded her with a smile.

Shen Qingxue nodded firmly. “Yes!”

She had once been terribly arrogant, but she was now completely obedient in front of Long Chen. She knew that no one in this world was qualified to put on airs in front of Long Chen.

Long Chen quietly added, “Also, I’ll have to trouble you to look after Wanyi. I hope you get what I mean.”

Shen Qingxue was startled at first, but she quickly realized that this was due to Xie Wanyi not being an original member of the Violet Abyss. The violet-gold polearm’s plan had not included her. She and the others that came from Sovereign Mountain would not manage to obtain as much from this opportunity as the others, as they did not possess completely pure minds and spirits. As a result, when everyone woke up, Xie Wanyi might instantly fall from the Violet Abyss Golden Ranking.

Long Chen was worried that Xie Wanyi would be disappointed. Furthermore, as everyone’s power rose, the gap would grow larger. That kind of blow would definitely affect Xie Wanyi’s Dao-heart. Thus, he warned Shen Qingxue of this.

Since Long Chen was their big brother, he naturally had to look after every single one of them.

“Big brother, don’t worry. I will make sure to look after her,” promised Shen Qingxue.

With this, Long Chen was at ease. If they could truly learn from his comprehension and experience, once they woke up, their control over magical arts and divine abilities would climb to a new level. Whatever bottlenecks they were stuck in would be broken through with ease.

Thirty million cabbages were on their way to become an army of tigers and wolves. They would definitely become the world’s most terrifying legion... aside from the Dragonblood Legion, of course.

After arranging things, Long Chen left without bothering to say goodbye to Li Qiaoyin. After all, he still had to come back to return the violet-gold polearm. He left the Violet Abyss with a single step, and then vanished into heaven and earth with another step.

A moment later, he appeared inside an ancient city. People from the Huayun Trading Company were already waiting for him. One of them stepped forward with a report.

“Master Long Chen, this is a summary of what has happened in the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture in the past few days!”

Long Chen scanned over the information and snorted. “I’ve only been gone for a few days, but the vicious animals just can’t help themselves.”

Just three days before, an army had attacked the divine capital. There had been three hundred thousand of them, a combined army from multiple major forces. Their leader was the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning. This attack was just a probing blow. They were testing the Full Moon Sect’s power, while also testing the reaction of the other major forces.

The Full Moon Sect had repaired their grand formation by now, and the divine capital was absorbing karmic luck at full speed. When they wanted to defend, they were an iron fortress impossible to break through. These three hundred thousand people were naturally unable to pose a threat to them. However, it was an announcement to countless forces.

The Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning was no longer hiding who they were. They directly let people know that they were backed by Lord Brahma. In other words, Lord Brahma was testing out people’s reactions. Would he simply abandon attempts to take over the divine capital? Most certainly not. The divine capital was the core of the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture. It was a truly juicy piece of meat that everyone wanted. Moreover, the battle spoils that the outsider devils had spent countless years acquiring had switched masters. How could anyone ignore that amount of treasure?

In addition, according to the report, in the few days that Long Chen had been in the Violet Abyss, a terrifying king had arisen amongst the mutated lifeforms. The Heavenly Fate Tribes were starting to unify. And when that happened, the mutated lifeforms would truly become a third major force alongside Lord Brahma and the outsider devils.

The Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning’s probing blow was an attempt to find out the truth about the divine capital’s power, as well as what the outsider devils and the Heavenly Fate Alliances would do in response. They also wanted to see how the Wine God Sect, Tea Saint Dao Temple, and Calligraphy Sect would respond.

“Help me pass word to the Violet Abyss. I want to construct a transportation formation between the Violet Abyss and the divine capital.”

Long Chen smiled derisively. It was time for the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture to once more get to know the violet blood race.

After arranging that, Long Chen directly used a transportation formation to come to an ancient city.

The moment he appeared, a lean, refined elder appeared to greet him.

“My name is Long Yan, and I am a Heaven Elder of the Jiuli Divine Realm. Greetings, Dean Long Chen!”
