Chapter 490



“You’re leaving?” asked a startled Tu Fang . “Where are you going?”

Even Long Chen was astonished . Ling Yun-zi said he was leaving . He didn’t say he was leaving for a period of time . In other words…

“This time, I’ve obtained a heaven-defying opportunity that has enlightened me onto another kind of Sword Dao . I want to go out into the world and see whether or not I can bring my Sword Dao to the pinnacle . ” Ling Yun-zi smiled .

“How long will you be gone?” asked Tu Fang .

“This is what I will be pursuing for the rest of my life . If I cannot reach that level, then this life of mine will have not had any meaning,” said Ling Yun-zi solemnly .

He had dedicated the first half of his life to his monastery . Now it was time for him to live for his own Sword Dao . He wanted to be a true sword cultivator, free and unfettered, walking to the ends of the world with just his sword .

“Then what about the monastery? Will senior Cang Ming take on the sect leader position?” asked Tu Fang .

“Uncle-master has already brought his apprentice away . He said that until he manages to completely fill that little fellow’s stomach, he won’t be returning,” laughed Ling Yun-zi .

Now Long Chen understood why he hadn’t seen Wilde during these days . He had already been brought away .

Most likely Cang Ming had also decided to strengthen his resolve and focus completely on raising his apprentice .

Right now, Wilde had become his entire focus . He wanted to raise Wilde into a supreme expert, and as a result, he had even left behind his forge . It could be seen how determined Cang Ming was .

“So now that we’ve left, only you, Tu Fang, can be the sect leader,” said Ling Yun-zi .

“Me? How could that be possible?” Tu Fang couldn’t help being startled . He was still only at the peak of the Meridian Opening realm . Without stepping into the Xiantian realm, how could he take a sect leader position, let alone the position of the first monastery’s sect leader .

“Tu Fang, you are straightforward and upright , impartial and incorruptible . With your character, you can definitely take this position .



“Furthermore, you don’t need to feel any pressure . As long as our first monastery has Long Chen, then our position as the first monastery cannot be budged .

“As for in the future when Long Chen leaves, the first monastery will naturally decline, and the position will be taken away . That just means our fate with that position has run out, and there’s no need to fight over it .

“First place can’t always be dominated by one person . The cycle turns continuously; fortunes rise and fall . But that’s what makes life interesting,” said Ling Yun-zi profoundly .

“Yes sect leader . I understand,” said Tu Fang respectfully . Ling Yun-zi was telling him the cycle of the Heavenly Daos could not be reversed .

For example, they had constantly been ranked 108th . But as soon as Long Chen joined, everything had changed .


After experiencing countless dangers, after the suppression of both the Righteous and Corrupt paths, Long Chen had still soared, crushing the Righteous and Corrupt paths . The entire way, he had forced his way through a pile of corpses, bringing them to their current position .

Times change . Any of those who had vainly attempted to block Long Chen all ended up in extremely miserable states . Ling Yun-zi was using Long Chen as an example to direct Tu Fang .

What is destined to be yours is something no one can snatch away . What is not destined to yours is something you can’t obtain no matter what, and if you try, it will cost you your life . These were the invisible rules of the Heavenly Daos .

Ling Yun-zi cared deeply about Tu Fang, and he didn’t want him making the same mistake he had . He had ended up becoming too obsessed, ending up in an abyss of despair .

“Long Chen, I know this monastery will not be your limit . Perhaps there will be a day when we’ll see each other again . At that time, I trust you’ll be much stronger than you are right now, and much more domineering . ” Ling Yun-zi patted Long Chen on the shoulder .

The feeling of parting was always a sad one . All Long Chen could say was, “Take care sect leader . ”

Ling Yun-zi smiled and then walked away . Long Chen and Tu Fang didn’t move . They both knew Ling Yun-zi wouldn’t want anyone to send him off . From today onwards, he would no longer have any shackles . He would be completely free .

The next day, news of Tu Fang succeeding the sect leader position spread throughout the entire supermonastery .

In all of history, only Xiantian experts had had the qualifications to be sect leaders . Tu Fang was merely at the Meridian Opening realm .



But each monastery had the right to appoint their own sect leader . If they felt they didn’t have enough power, they were able to ask the supermonastery for help, and the supermonastery would send them a Xiantian expert to take the sect leader position .

Other than Tu Fang becoming sect leader, news of Ling Yun-zi departing the monastery to pursue his Sword Dao also spread .

That made countless people dumbfounded . Now, Ling Yun-zi had departed, and Cang Ming had brought away his apprentice to travel .

In the entire first monastery, there was not a single Xiantian expert . That caused countless people to feel greed . Many Xiantian experts from the supermonastery made applications to take the first monastery’s sect leader position .

Those applications were all immediately rejected . The reason? Long Chen had said the first monastery didn’t need any expert as support, because they were already strong enough .

That instantly caused those thoughts to die . Those people thought of how Long Chen had killed two Xiantian experts on his own . That made them all turn silent .

Once that matter passed, Long Chen had Tang Wan-er help guard him and Meng Qi .

Currently, his forehead was pressed against Meng Qi’s forehead . Meng Qi was completely red, as this position was too intimate .

Seeing Long Chen suddenly smile, and how his smile was slightly naughty, Meng Qi couldn’t help rebuking, “What are you smiling about?”

He laughed, “For Tang Wan-er to guard us as I take advantage of a jade beauty, it seems a bit strange . ”

“What do you mean, take advantage of a jade beauty? How vulgar . ” Meng Qi rapped Long Chen on the head, turning even redder .

“Alright, well since you’re no longer so nervous, we can start . Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything . ” Long Chen had just been purposely teasing her since he had noticed how worried she was . “I’ll begin now . ”

After saying that, within his mind-sea, his Spiritual Strength began to roil, seeming like an angry sea as it rapidly circulated .

He continuously compressed his Spiritual Strength . He needed to condense a spiritual seed . If the Spiritual Strength was a tree, then condensing a spiritual seed was like going through the twigs of that tree . Then he would snap off that twig and transplant it into Meng Qi .

Condensing a spiritual seed was not difficult . However, even after condensing a dozen of them, he still discarded them, as those spiritual seeds weren’t strong enough .

Long Chen wanted the strongest spiritual seed possible for Meng Qi . That would be her future cultivation foundation .

It was extremely easy to tell how strong a spiritual seed was by the strength of its spiritual fluctuations .

An ordinary spiritual seed would take up one thousandth to three thousandths of a person’s Spiritual Strength .

However, the quality of a spiritual seed was based on the skill and soul energy of the person who condensed it . Long Chen had even condensed several spiritual seeds that took up eight thousandths of his Spiritual Strength, but he still discarded them .

BOOM!

Just as Long Chen was starting to get impatient, his Spiritual Strength suddenly surged, and an immense spiritual seed appeared in his mind-sea .

“Don’t Long Chen!” cried Meng Qi .

“Don’t make a fuss . Stay still . ”

Just like that, he inserted that huge spiritual seed into Meng Qi’s mind-sea .

“Long Chen!” Meng Qi couldn’t help feeling distressed, and her tears even began to fall . That huge spiritual seed contained a full tenth of his Spiritual Strength .

As that spiritual seed left Long Chen’s mind-sea, he clenched his teeth and held back a pained groan . His veins bulged, and his body twitched intensely .

He was essentially splitting a portion of his soul, and so he had to endure the pain of his soul tearing apart . Even though he had long since been prepared, he still almost couldn’t hold back a scream .

The pain of the soul could make a person go insane . As he did his best to endure that pain, he transplanted that huge spiritual seed into Meng Qi’s mind-sea .

As soon as he finished doing that, he felt as if the world was spinning around him, and he almost collapsed, his body drenched in sweat .

But looking at Meng Qi, whose eyes were now tightly closed, a smile appeared on his pale face .

Now that his spiritual seed had entered Meng Qi’s mind-sea, it had become ownerless . All Meng Qi needed to do was use her mind to connect to that seed, and she would become its new master, and it would become her new soul root .

To Meng Qi, that was something extremely simple, so he didn’t have any worries . It would just take her a bit of time .

Right now, he was in immense pain from the tearing of his soul, and so he hastily activated the primal chaos bead .

Previously, Long Chen had already circulated his two stars to return the primal chaos space to a flourishing state .

The withered medicinal ingredients and trees had all been revived . Now, he drew on the primal chaos space’s energy to heal the injury to his soul . Those huge trees, which had only just revived, now instantly withered .

However, now he no longer felt as much pain . Unfortunately, it was unable to completely replenish the loss to his soul . But Long Chen decided not to touch the medicinal ingredients this time, as the energy within them was too little compared to the trees .

After advancing to the Bone Forging realm, he had received an enormous surprise . After he had advanced, the primal chaos space had gone from being three miles wide to thirty miles wide .

Now he could plant even more vegetation . If he managed to fill the entire space with huge trees, then his recovery ability would be shocking .

As for the patch of black soil, it had also grown by ten times . That black soil was able to devour flesh and turn it into life energy .

Unfortunately, Long Chen didn’t have any powerful Magical Beast corpses . Otherwise, such an immense life energy would be able to instantly heal his soul .

Long Chen had already decided, after he handled this matter, he would find some huge trees, the bigger the better, with as much life energy as possible . If he could find some immense trees, then he would have access to practically limitless life energy .

Just as Long Chen was planning how to use the primal chaos space, Meng Qi slowly opened her eyes .
