Chapter 673 - Divine and Demon Clan

Chapter 673 - Divine and Demon Clan

Long Chen told them the story as soon as they sat down. He skipped the part about Little Cat and just said he found the method to save Huangfu Qi in an ancient book.

Both Huangfu Fengchen and his wife were shocked to hear that Long Chen had gone to the Immortal Sea to kill the Heavenly Phoenix. They looked at him in disbelief. “The Heavenly Phoenix lived for hundreds of years. No one dared to provoke it, but you ...”

Long Chen was officially stronger than Zhao Wuji now that he had killed the Heavenly Phoenix.

“The strongest beings in the Divine Martial Empire were Zhao Wuji and the Heavenly Phoenix. But Zhao Wuji has been killed by his disciple and Feng Xuan, while you killed the Heavenly Phoenix. It seems that the Divine Martial Empire has changed so much ... Long Chen, I have never seen anyone with your talent before. I fear that you would be considered a genius even if you were to go to the other empires.”

Huangfu Fengchen was impressed and grateful that Long Chen had risked his life to save Huangfu Qi by killing the Heavenly Phoenix. Huangfu Fengchen knew that he would never be able to repay this debt.

He had given him the Willow Step, the prized martial technique of the Huangfu family, out of goodwill. Now he knew that he had made the right move. If it wasn’t for Long Chen, Huangfu Qi would likely be dead by now.

Long Chen thought this was a good time to ask about the Ancient Graveyard. The other empires would get a lot of Ancient Tokens, so he needed to know what kinds of enemies he would be facing. “Uncle Chen, could you tell me about the other empires?”

Huangfu Fengchen took a guess. “Do you want to enter the Ancient Graveyard by obtaining the Ancient Token?”

Long Chen nodded.

Huangfu Fengchen shook his head. “Long Chen, I advise you not to do that.”

“Why?”

“You are young. You haven’t reached the age of twenty and yet you already have the strength of someone at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. While this is enough for you to be called a genius, you’re not considered strong yet. Those who get to enter the Ancient Graveyard are all incredibly strong. You might have a chance to get some treasures if you fight against the younger cultivators, but you are far weaker than those vicious old bastards. Cultivators at the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage are commonplace in the other empires. You are only considered strong if you reach the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage. Almost everyone who enters the Ancient Graveyard is at the Fourth Earthly Martial Realm at least, except for those who get lucky, of course. If you entered now, you would be the weakest one of them all. Why don’t you spend a few years cultivating first? You might be able to survive if you enter once you’re at the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage.”

Huangfu Fengchen’s analysis was accurate. There were a lot of treasures in the Ancient Graveyard, but there was a lot of danger too. Not only were there natural disasters, there were also demonic beasts and other cultivators. Only a few managed to survive every time. Long Chen would be committing suicide by entering now.

Huangfu Fengchen wanted him to become stronger before entering the Ancient Graveyard.

Huangfu Fengchen sensed his confusion and answered, “You are right. The strongest clans are the Divine clan and the Demon clan. Their strongest cultivators make them more powerful than the other seven empires. It could be said that the Divine clan and the Demon clan are the strongest forces in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. They are each allied with another clan, the Wind and Thunder clans. The other five clans have to work together to fight against them. That was how the three factions formed.”

“Uncle Chen, could you tell me more about the Divine and Demon clans?” Long Chen was interested in the two strongest clans.

“You don’t have to be too worried about them. They are humans just like us, the only difference is their bloodline. They have the Divine God Veins and Demon God Veins in them. They are stronger than the Heavenly Wind Veins or the Profound Flame Veins. I don’t know where those two clans came from, but I know that they weren’t that strong before. They were weaker than the Five Element Alliance a long time ago.”

Long Chen thought the Nine Great Clans were terrifying.

He suddenly realized how difficult it would be for him to enter the Ancient Graveyard to find Ling Xi.

The only resources he could use there were the Prismatic Key and the Scarlet Emperor Seal.

The Five Element Alliance, the Divine Wind faction, and the Thunder Demon faction. It would be terrifying to see all of them in the Ancient Graveyard, but I can worry about that later. I must defeat Feng Xuan and Zhao Danchen first.

His strongest martial technique right now was the Desolate Divine Seal, but he hadn't mastered it yet, so he dared not challenge them now.

Long Chen's next goal would be the Five Emperor Seal.

The Five Emperors were the five strongest cultivators in the Divine Martial Empire in the past. They had accomplished many miraculous feats and everyone worshiped them, especially those from the Five Element Alliance. All of them are proud of the fact that they are the descendants of the Five Emperors. The treasure hidden in the Ancient Graveyard was most likely hidden by the Five Emperors too.

Long Chen sorted out the information in his brain.

The Desolate Divine Seal is the strongest technique amongst King-tier martial techniques, and the Five Emperor Seal is an Emperor-tier technique. Its strength must be even stronger than the Yellow Martial Seal. Zhao Danchen, get ready ...

Long Chen smiled when he thought about it.

“Uncle Chen, do you have any other plans now that Qi Qi is back? She’s now at the Ninth Passage Stage due to the Heavenly Phoenix’s blood. If she stays here in the Lingering Wind City, I fear that I won’t be able to protect all of you if Feng Xuan returns ... ”
