Long Chen carefully packed away the wooden box and bid farewell to Long Dou and his clan members.
The people of Dragon City watched Long Chen’s departure with a myriad of emotions. Even the usurpation of his Emperor Meridans couldn’t stop his rise! However, Su Miaoyu was still alive, and who would win or lose in the future remained unknown.
Coiling Dragon Seal?
Sitting on the back of a white crane, Long Chen opened the wooden box. It contained a Martial Technique named the Coiling Dragon Seal.
Since the Martial Technique didn’t specify its rank, it was temporarily difficult to determine its strength.
But Xia Duoduo had said that his mother was the master of the continent’s strongest power, the Dragon Hall, and a rare supreme expert. The Martial Technique she left behind must be extraordinary!
"Coiling Dragon Seal? I’ve never heard of this technique, and I haven’t seen anyone in the Dragon Hall use it. It might be a creation of the Hall Master," said Xia Duoduo.
Long Chen nodded silently. It seems the Martial Technique my mother left behind is extremely mysterious; even her personal maid knows nothing about it.
"Long Chen, this is the first part of the Heavenly Martial Body Refining Technique. It also records the one hundred and eight rules of the Sect. Study them carefully," Chen Yao said, handing Long Chen a secret manual. She continued, "You must memorize these sect rules. Also, don’t underestimate this Heavenly Martial Body Refining Technique. Although it is only the first part, only disciples with excellent aptitude are qualified to possess it. If you can master this first part of the Body Refining Technique, I will give you the latter part. If you master that as well, you will be eligible to cultivate a Martial Body."
Upon hearing this, Long Chen narrowed his eyes.
The Martial Body is the core Secret Technique of Martial Ancestor, a method that can enhance combat power. If Shangguan Ming hadn’t cultivated a Martial Body, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to defeat my father, Long Dou, who was just recovering from his old illness. However, once my father’s Emperor Meridans fully recover, even if Shangguan Ming uses his Martial Body, he would be no match for him at all.
Just then, Xia Duoduo’s voice suddenly entered his mind. A mere Martial Body can’t grant the young master the power to fight across realms. You are Invincible in the Same Realm, young master, so cultivating a Martial Body is just a waste of time.
Long Chen deeply agreed. The Martial Body is indeed not worth cultivating. After all, his Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body made him Invincible in the Same Realm, while the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula and the Divine Demon Secret Technique Dragon Blood Boiling could let him kill enemies across realms.
Whether or not I cultivate the Martial Body isn’t important, but this Heavenly Martial Body Refining Technique can indeed enhance my physical strength. Long Chen’s gaze flickered.
Xia Duoduo quickly reminded him, Young master, do not stray from your path! Your body is the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body, and it will automatically grow stronger through your Dragon Blood. When you cultivate the Ancestral Dragon King’s Blood and it flows throughout your body, your physical strength will become even greater—you might even be able to transform into a dragon!
Transform into a dragon!
Long Chen’s pupils contracted. So humans can really transform into dragons?
It seems I can save a lot of unnecessary time. Long Chen was quite pleased, never having anticipated that the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula would be so heaven-defying.
He set aside the method for cultivating a Martial Body and began to flip through the sect rules.
Chen Yao looked back at Long Chen, who was studying intently, and her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.
"Long Chen, there’s something I shouldn’t say, but your aptitude is different from the other disciples, so I feel I must tell you," Chen Yao said slowly. "Those who are proficient in the sect rules can use them to punish others, or even to kill."
"Oh?" Long Chen’s eyes narrowed, his interest piqued.
Chen Yao smiled meaningfully.
Then, she turned back around and said, "We will be reaching the Sect soon. Before you are familiar with the rules, do not speak or act rashly. Don’t meddle in others’ affairs. For now, just learn to keep your mouth shut and be a quiet observer."
As the sun set, Long Chen was captivated by the landscape below.
Looking down, the grounds of Martial Ancestor spanned tens of miles. Its interior was a complex of buildings, from which he could only make out five major areas separated by the Long River.
Gazing at the view below, Long Chen asked coolly, "Is that Martial Ancestor?"
