Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5626 Owing a Child

Long Chen was dragged through three barriers in a row by this seven-color chain. Information poured into his mind as he passed through them. Even Long Chen felt a wave of dizziness from all this information.

When Long Chen recovered, he saw a peerlessly beautiful woman in front of him. He smiled.

“Many thanks, fairy Tianrui. I owe you a favor.”

Long Tianrui smiled at Long Chen and said, “It’d be better to say that you owe me a child.”

Long Chen instantly felt a headache. Long Tianrui really was extraordinary. How did she manage to say such a thing so casually?

However, her gaze was clear. She was not teasing him. It was something else.

Long Chen normally felt like he had a glib tongue. But against Long Tianrui, he never knew what to say.

Long Tianrui’s smile widened upon seeing how ill at ease Long Chen was. She laughed. Long Tianrui rarely laughed, especially so sincerely. It was a beautiful sound. Even Long Chen couldn’t help being a bit dazed by her. When she laughed, Long Tianrui really was beautiful.

“To think that someone who could crush a monster like Long Zaiye would be scared with some simple words.”

“That’s different. The difficulty is on an entirely different level. How about you take it back and I’ll go out and beat up Long Zaiye again?” suggested Long Chen.

“Nice try. Do you think that something that I, Long Tianrui, have decided upon can be changed so easily? However, there’s no rush. We can discuss this matter in the future.”

“Discuss it in the future?”

Long Chen got goosebumps at the thought. But seeing that she didn’t have any particular expression when saying this, he realized he was thinking dirty.

“There are nine Jiuli barriers, and every barrier you pass will give you some Jiuli immortal characters. The barrier in front of us is the eighth. The first seven could be passed through bloodline power, but not the eighth. You must comprehend the immortal characters on the barrier in order to reach the ninth level.

“After reaching the ninth level, you will be able to directly comprehend the original characters on the stele. It is said that the Jiuli Divine Stele is something that came from beyond the heavens, and is related to the greatest secrets of the nine heavens and ten lands.

“Legend says that all magical arts, divine abilities, talismans, pills, and all other techniques are descended from the original Jiuli immortal characters.

“Whoever can control original Jiuli immortal characters can also control the entire world. The Jiuli Divine Stele has three thousand immortal characters on it. The Long clan’s historical records say that they are related to the three thousand worlds.

“Comprehending a single rune allows one to control one world’s power. In the Long clan’s history, the strongest expert managed to comprehend seventeen immortal characters, and ultimately reached the half-step Sovereign realm, reaching a realm high above others.

“However, regrettably, original Jiuli immortal characters cannot be recorded with paper or transmitted through the mouth, or shared with the soul. After that almighty expert died, the Long clan never managed to produce anyone who could comprehend more than seven runes.

“That’s why every time the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm opens, it is a major baptism in the four divine clans. Whoever can comprehend more original Jiuli characters will be the future leader of the four divine clans,” explained Long Tianrui.

Long Chen was incredibly shocked by what Long Tianrui was saying. The Jiuli Divine Stele had such implications? Comprehending just seventeen characters was enough to reach the half-step Sovereign realm? Sovereigns were supreme existences whether it was in the mortal world or the immortal world. This was the true peak.

Of three thousand divine runes, comprehending just over ten allowed one to become a half-step Sovereign. Then what would happen if you comprehended all of it?

Suddenly, the space not far from them quivered. Long Chen and Long Tianrui looked over to see Long Zimo with his hands on the barrier, runes swirling around him. He was advancing.

“We should also hurry… up!” Long Tianrui suddenly turned slightly pale.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Long Tianrui shook her head.

Long Chen suddenly recalled how Long Tianrui had used her own bloodline power to drag him in here. That had to have exhausted her bloodline power.

“Take this.” Long Chen offered her a medicinal pill.

Long Tianrui nodded and took it. When her hand touched Long Chen’s hand, her body quivered slightly. To cover it up, she directly swallowed the pill and closed her eyes.

Long Chen was surprised. This girl who kept saying she wanted children actually also had a bashful side? Who would have thought a simple touch would cause such a reaction.

“Long Chen, you are a wanted criminal of the Long clan, a lowly little thief! You aren’t qualified to comprehend Jiuli immortal characters! Just you wait, once I recover, I’ll wring your neck!” Just then, Long Zaiye’s roar rang out.

Just like Long Chen, Long Zaiye was blocked at the fifth barrier. Seeing Long Chen had someone help him move forward, he howled.

“Shut your mouth. Does your face not hurt? I don’t have time now, but once I’m free, I’ll put you in your place.” Long Chen gave him a cold reply before ignoring him.

Long Chen looked around. His vision was restricted here. The only one he saw was Long Zimo.

Just now, Feng Fei had shouted for him to come over. He believed that she had also reached the eighth level thanks to Jiang Yue’e. But he didn’t see either of them.

Long Tianrui had made her move first, dragging Long Chen to her side and making him owe her a debt.

It seemed that the space here was likely twisted. It looked like they were all charging forward in a straight line, but perhaps they had already become spread out.

Long Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Focusing himself, he placed his hands on the barrier. The barrier quivered slightly. Long Chen saw a world in his mind.

This was an empty world of primal chaos. There were countless runes flowing around like lifeforms with their own spirits.

However, amongst these roving runes were some that were still. Long Chen examined them closely, and found that the runes that were moving were the ones that had entered his mind while passing through the barriers.

As he stared, he found that he could actually control the direction that those runes were moving.

The runes slowly began to flow under his control. Long Chen found that it was like playing with sand. He piled up the runes, making them take different forms. There were countless transformations. Long Chen actually became so engrossed with playing with them that he forgot about himself.

The runes were constantly changing, becoming mountains, tall pavilions, trees, rooms, flowing water. Under Long Chen’s control, their transformations became more and more refined. They could even take human form.

As Long Chen lost himself in them, he was like a child playing around. His whole attention was devoted to this. He didn’t even know how much time passed before he suddenly recalled what he had come to do. He hastily looked towards those immobile runes.

“This rune, I feel like I recognize it?”

Long Chen suddenly focused on one of them. But when he looked more closely, he still didn’t recognize it.

“There seems to be something missing here. If I were to add another stroke…”

Just as he said this,it seemed that his thought triggered something, and countless runes concentrated together to form one stroke in this immortal character.

“This seems to be the Defend character,” murmured Long Chen.

BOOM!

The moment he said the name of this character, the world in Long Chen’s mind vanished. The barrier in front of him shuddered, and he was suddenly drawn inside.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
