Chapter 796 – Azure Emperor Rising Heaven Seal
Chapter 796 – Azure Emperor Rising Heaven Seal
“Yes, he has!” Bai Lan said resignedly. “The White Lotus Fairy and the Azure Lotus Lord were a couple. The Divine clan has worked hard for many years to search for the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance. The White Lotus Fairy’s inheritance contained information related to the Azure Lotus Lord, and according to the information I received, the Divine clan actually managed to get their hands on the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance. The holder of the inheritance is the young man, Wu Guangyu. Although you have received the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, which is on the same level, your cultivation level and background are inferior to his. If you can achieve another breakthrough before you fight him in two months, you may still stand a chance.”
Long Chen was silent for a while.
He saw Wu Guangyu as an enemy, and one of the two had to die. The Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance would surely make Wu Guangyu a little bit more difficult to defeat, but there were two more months left, so it was not certain that Long Chen would lose.
With that thought, Long Chen nodded and said, “Patriarchs, just let me know when we are leaving for the Nine Clans Martial Youth Competition. I will work hard to achieve another breakthrough during these two months.”
Breaking through to the next level at the Earthly Martial Realm was a very difficult thing to do, but Long Chen spoke of it casually. Both patriarchs were a little speechless. They had to admit that this young expert was just full of surprises. With the Martial God Tombstone’s help, it would be no issue for him to reach the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage and catch up to other people soon.
“In that case, work hard on your cultivation for the remaining time. When you fight Wu Guangyu, do your best to make the Demon clan proud. If you have any requests, just let me know. If I can fulfill it, I will not be stingy!” Bai Lan said generously with a smile.
“Thank you, Patriarch. If I need something, I will tell you,” Long Chen responded with a smile.
“You have never been one to be too shy.” When Suxue heard Long Chen agree to fight alongside her, her stress decreased and she was even privately delighted. She had personally witnessed Long Chen’s strength, and she wasn’t sure if she would be able to withstand the power that erupted from the Three Thousand Star Clusters. Suxue had been raised by Bai Lan, so she was considered very powerful among Ninth Earthly Martial Stage cultivators.
Bai Lan looked at the two youths and said teasingly, “Long Chen, you must work hard and protect my daughter well. My daughters are all I have, so I wish I could keep them by my side at all times. If it wasn’t for us being forced to send her to the Martial Youth Competition, I wouldn’t have let her take this risk. Those bastards are always giving me headaches.”
“Don’t worry, Father. I’m no longer a child. I can take care of myself,” Suxue said indignantly, blushing.
“I know,” said Bai Lan.
Long Chen was still thinking about what Bai Lan had previously said to him. He suddenly recalled that this was the Wood District. Thinking of the Five Emperor Seals, he had used the Blue Devil Flame to cultivate the Red Emperor Burning Heaven Seal, then the Profound Golden Soul to cultivate the Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal. Could he ask for more items so he could cultivate more?
He had just arrived at the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage, and he was quite far from the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage. Therefore, it was a good time for him to get an item related to the element and cultivate the Five Emperor Seals.
He interrupted their conversation and said, “Patriarchs, may I ask if you know that I took the Gold clan’s Profound Golden Soul?”
Bai Lan paused, unsure of why Long Chen had suddenly mentioned this. “I know about that. Because of this, many people in the Gold clan started to notice you. Why did you mention it?”
Long Chen continued, “I need treasures on the same level as the Profound Golden Soul, but ones with different elements, namely wood, water, or earth. May I ask if you have something like that?”
When the patriarchs heard him, they looked at each other. Both understood what the other was thinking. Long Chen definitely had something to do with the Five Emperors. His two Emperor Seals had metal and fire elements, and now he was asking for the other three. When combined, they were coincidentally metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which were also the elements of the Five Emperors.
Bai Lan and Lei Ji took Long Chen very seriously and even allowed him to fight for the Five Emperors’ treasure mainly because they sensed the Five Emperors’ aura coming from him.
Bai Lan had previously stated that whatever Long Chen requested, he would help in any way he could.
He answered, “Out of the three elements you ask for, I don’t have water and earth. However, I have something for the wood element. When we first arrived in Heavenly Wood City, we discovered a Wooden Soul Crystal. I think it’ll be useful to you.”
After he spoke, Bai Lan took out a crystal filled with thick, green energy the size of his thumb from his storage ring.
“This Wooden Soul Crystal is filled with copious amounts of earthly spiritual Qi, and it can boost the growth of spiritual herbs. It is a top-tier treasure that contains wood energy. It even contains more energy than the Profound Golden Soul. Does this work for you?”
Long Chen sensed the crystal for a moment. The tiny Wooden Soul Crystal contained so much wood energy that it shocked him. He nodded and looked at Bai Lan gratefully. “Patriarch Bai, this is exactly what I need. Thank you.”
“Don’t worry about it. You’re helping the Demon clan out, so it’s only right I give you a small gift. Take it, then. I will send people to search for the other two things you asked for,” Bai Lan said with a faint smile.
“In that case, please let me excuse myself. If there’s anything I need, I will let you know,” said Long Chen, saluting him.
“Go,” Bai Lan said with a smile.
Long Chen nodded and left. Suxue also quickly excused herself and went with Long Chen. After they left, Lei Ji remarked excitedly, “Since the kid is asking for these things, it seems like he really has a connection with the Five Emperors. Brother Bai, what do you think of this?”
Bai Lan replied, “One’s fate and luck can allow them to receive treasures. If something does not belong to you, you cannot always take it by force. If the Five Emperors’ treasure truly exists, we might not be able to take it for ourselves. This kid has a connection to the Five Emperors, so maybe he will be lucky enough to get their treasure. I gave him a chance to enter the Five Emperors' Secret Realm. If he succeeds, he will surely be grateful to me.”
“But with Wu Guangyu blocking his path, how will Long Chen become champion of the Martial Youth Competition?” Lei Ji asked hesitantly.
“Wu Guangyu has a wealthy background and now he has the inheritance of the Azure Lotus Lord. He has a lot of battle experience and is considered to have reached the peak of the Earthly Martial Realm. If Long Chen can defeat him, it will prove that he is the person whom the Five Emperors have chosen. If he loses, it means that we are probably overthinking it. No matter what happens, he is an excellent young man. If he joins the Demon clan in the future and serves the clan, it will be a blessing.”
“Does that also mean that if he defeats Wu Guangyu, it means he has a special identity? And he might achieve great success due to his outstanding abilities? And if he doesn’t, he will choose to stay in the Demon clan?” remarked Lei Ji.
“Exactly,” said Bai Lan. “We’ll just have to see what the kid is capable of. I’ll help him where I can, but I can’t do much otherwise.”

“Long Chen,” Suxue called out from behind him. When he turned around, she almost did not dare look into his eyes. After walking up to him, she asked, “Have you really decided to participate in the Nine Clans Martial Youth Competition with me?”
“Of course,” said Long Chen.
“If you really have made your decision, work hard. Comprehend the Martial God Tombstone’s teachings as soon as possible and make another breakthrough. You and Wu Guangyu have both received inheritances from the Seven Lords, but you are two cultivation levels below him. You must work hard,” Suxue said awkwardly.
“What's the matter with you? Why are you acting so shy?” asked Long Chen, puzzled.
“Nothing. Good luck. Do the Demon clan proud, but I won’t disappoint my father either. I’m his daughter after all!” Suxue said, then she waved her fist at him. Afterwards, she ran off.
“Is it because I took the attention away from you?” Long Chen smiled in exasperation. He returned to the place where Suyan lived, feeling impatient to cultivate the Azure Emperor Rising Heaven Seal. However, the young Suyan was waiting for him at the entrance.
These two sisters ... Long Chen was speechless. One had just left, but now there was another.
Suyan skipped to his side and clutched his arm with a smile as she cried, “Big Brother, you’re finally back!”
“Big Brother, did Father ask you to participate in the Martial Youth Competition?” asked Suyan hurriedly.
He nodded and said, “He did. There are about two more months left, so it is enough time for your condition to heal completely. Then I can leave with a peace of mind.”
“You’re leaving?” Suyan’s expression soured and tears sparkled in her large eyes.
Although Long Chen knew that the girl would miss him, he had no choice. He nodded and said, “I don’t know, but don’t we have two more months together? Be good.”
“Mhm, alright ...” Suyan bit her pink lips and nodded enthusiastically.
After they chatted for a while, Long Chen reminded her not to disturb him, then returned to his room to prepare to cultivate the Azure Emperor Rising Heaven Seal.
The combination of two Emperor Seals was already powerful. If he could combine three seals, the power of the resulting attack would be unimaginable.
