Chapter 537 - Learning About The Martial Realm

When he tried to think of a performance, Long Chen’s mind went blank. Ever since he received the dragon jade, he had been focused on learning how to kill. He had forgotten about things like that a long time ago. That was why he felt like he was inferior to them when comparing his life of killing to their lives of freedom.

He had gotten on the right path for cultivation, but in terms of mindset, he had taken a more demented path; Blood Transmutation had led him into the abyss of killing and violence.

“I truly don’t know anything ...” Long Chen waved his hand with a bitter smile.

“You don’t? Then I’ll have to do what I said! I’ll have to strip you naked!” Lan Ling’er tried to scare him.

“Ling’er, that’s enough. Don’t scare him. You’re a lady, why are you always talking about getting naked? If he let you strip him naked, would you even dare to do it?” Jiang Wuya laughed.

Lan Ling’er turned both embarrassed and angry.

“But, Long Chen, you can’t just watch us without performing. We will give you a task. If you complete it, we will not force you,” said Jiang Wuya.

“If you can get Yue’er out here, we will let you go,” he continued.

Long Chen was just wondering why Long Yue wasn’t here when the five of them were enjoying themselves.

“Big Sister has always been like that. She works too hard and usually ignores us when we play. That is why if you can get her out here, we will not bother you anymore,” Lan Ling’er added.

“Alright, I’ll try my best.” Seeing as everyone looked so insistent, Long Chen had no choice but to stand up and head towards Long Yue’s wooden house. Perhaps because she liked the quiet, her wooden house was far from the others.

He looked back and saw that they were partying once more. He was speechless at how they acted this way at their ages. Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

There was no sound coming from Long Yue’s wooden house. After he arrived at the door, he was about to knock when a voice came from inside. “Come in.”

It was Long Yue’s voice.

He pushed the door and entered, then he was stunned by what he saw. He saw a girl in loose-fitting silk clothing with her hair up in a ponytail while she practiced a punching routine. Her punches looked normal, but there was something philosophical about the way she performed. Long Chen’s gaze was immediately attracted to her, and he was completely immersed in her routine, quickly forgetting why he was there.

Her every move, including every punch and every time she retracted her fist, seemed to connect to the depths of his heart. The space in front of him seemed to be endlessly vast and Long Yue was standing at the center of it. Every time she punched, the earth shook and waves of energy crashed. Although her punches seemed simple, they were closely connected to the pulse of the land, as if she were the center of the world. Every moment made the ground shake around her.

As the strange punches flew in front of his eyes, an indescribable feeling arose in his mind. He was confident that no matter how much strength he used, he would not be able to recreate these punches. It was unrelated to their strength because Long Yue was punching so lightly that not a sound could be heard.

She is using only a tiny bit of strength, but it is enough to shake the ground. This is not related to strength, but to her mind and soul. When Long Chen comprehended this point, Long Yue finally slowed down her punches, and Long Chen woke up from his astonishment.

Long Yue was not wearing the helmet she had been wearing before. Her ponytail paired with her soft, white clothing made her look exceptionally graceful. Long Yue was as beautiful as Lan Ling’er, but while Lan Ling’er was coquettish, Long Yue radiated elegance. There was also magnificence in her eyes that made other people too intimidated to look into them. Her energy field even made him feel chills.

He knew that she was taking great care of him because of their bloodline.

“Are we starting now? They’re waiting for me outside ...” he said awkwardly.

For some reason, he felt like a younger brother in front of Long Yue, afraid that his older sister would be displeased by his poor performance.

“Ignore those idiots,” Long Yue said directly.

She brought him into his own quarters.

“Your injuries require both internal and external treatment, so they will take at least three days and three nights to heal completely. I have prepared a few spiritual medicines that will be effective only when they are used together. The main ingredient is the elementary King-tier spiritual herb, the Snow Heart Lotus.”

Long Chen only nodded. He would let Long Yue take control of his treatment as she must have already made ample preparations. She took out a gigantic boulder from her Universe Pouch, which had a smooth indent large enough to fit Long Chen’s body.

“This indent ...” Long Chen was shocked.

“You guessed it? Not bad. Yes, I hit it to create the indent.” She looked at him with praise in her eyes.

Long Chen was astonished. The smoothness of the indentation on this boulder made it look like it had been formed over a long, long time, yet Long Yue said she had created it with her fists.

Does the Martial Realm mean using power at this level? Long Chen was speechless.

Then, following her instructions, he entered the deep indentation in the boulder. With her control, the medicinal fluid she had prepared flowed into the indentation and immersed him. The essence within the medicine seeped into his body, bringing him great comfort.

Then Long Yue let him consume the Snow Heart Lotus.

This must be what she meant by internal and external treatment. With the King-tier Snow Heart Lotus inside and precious medicinal fluid outside, the damage sustained due to the third stage of Blood Sacrifice would heal in three days and three nights.

When everything was done, Long Yue gave him some reminders, then she left.

Bathing in the spiritual medicine, he felt his body slowly heal. He heaved a sigh of relief and finally started to think about his current situation.

I managed to survive and even received the Emperor Flame Pearl. Although the journey was filled with tribulations, the results were the same as what I previously expected. Now that I have left the Ancient Demon Domain, I’ll formulate a new plan after I have reached the Ninth Passage Stage in nine days’ time.

With a goal set, he felt his mind clear up.

It looks like I’ll still need to follow them for a while. It might be very difficult to reach the Martial Realm if I try to figure it out on my own, and Long Yue clearly plans to teach me. The Divine Martial Empire is the Martial Alliance’s turf, and I can tell that the Martial Alliance exerts strict control over their land. If I go out on my own, there will surely be informants and I might even die without knowing how it happened. It’s good to be with them anyway. At least I will stay alive, and they are indeed a bunch of interesting people ...
