Dragon Blooded War God

Situ Yu followed Situ Yao closely into his chambers. Situ Yao said nothing along the way, which made Situ Yu nervous. Even though he was satisfied with his own performance today, he wasn’t sure what the elders would think.

Situ Yao turned back and looked at him. Situ Yu saw a look of approval on his grandfather's face, so he became much relaxed. It appeared that Situ Yao was also satisfied.

“It’s a shame that we didn’t know that Suxue would follow him up there tonight. The Troop Destroying Arrow failed to kill Long Chen, resulting in his secret about possessing the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance becoming known to the public. Now it will be difficult for us to take it for ourselves …”

Situ Yu was also disappointed that the plan had failed. Even though he was smart enough to come up with that method to challenge Long Chen in one month, it would be difficult to take the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance for his grandfather.

“Grandfather, do you think the Patriarch will give me the inheritance once I win the fight? I don’t think any of the elders would want the other elders to monopolize it. Since I will be the son-in-law of the Patriarch, I don’t think anyone would complain about me having it, right?” Situ Yu asked.

“That is a good idea, but I think there are too many uncertainties. The Patriarch won’t allow you to kill him outright, but it seems that Long Chen is a rash individual, so you might actually have a chance to take him out. Your performance tonight was excellent and exceeded my expectations. Still, you need to be confident you can kill Long Chen too quickly for the Patriarch to save him.” Situ Yao’s eyes were glittering dangerously.

SItu Yu chuckled. “Don’t worry, Grandfather. I’ve touched the threshold of the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage recently. If you help me, I might be able to advance into the same realm as you in one month!”

Situ Yao sighed and admired his grandson. Reaching the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage at such a young age made him a top-tier genius. The Situ family could have someone at the Heavenly Martial Realm within ten years if he worked hard. It was even possible that Situ Yu would reach the Second Heavenly Martial Stage like the Patriarch.

“Are you sure that you can reach the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage within a month?” Situ Yao asked happily.

“Yes. I’m not mistaken about the feeling I had. Long Chen is only at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, and I have no idea how he killed Chen Yang. Still, I’m much stronger than Chen Yang. I’m certain that I will be able to kill Long Chen with a single blow once I reach the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage! But, Grandfather, just to be safe, I need something else too,” SItu Yu said with anticipation.

“You want the Ever Changing Spear?” Situ Yao smiled mischievously.

“The Ever Changing Spear is the strongest Divine Weapon of the Situ family. It’s also the only elementary Emperor-tier Divine Weapon that we have. With it, I can kill Long Chen in one blow. I don’t think the Patriarch would be able to save him in that short period of time. The Ever Changing Spear can split into numerous smaller spears; I doubt that Long Chen will be able to avoid all of them,” Situ Yu said with glee. He was also looking at Situ Yao with eyes full of expectation. His plan would be perfect if the latter agreed to it.

“Long Chen is only at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, so he doesn’t have enough essence to activate the Three Thousand Star Clusters. I would not give you the Ever Changing Spear if he could use the Three Thousand Star Clusters, since it would never be able to contend with the legendary weapon. But since Long Chen cannot use it, you are free to use the Ever Changing Spear.”

“Thank you, Grandfather! I will work hard and kill Long Chen. I will bring back the Three Thousand Star Clusters and let you use it!” Situ Yu was excited.

The two of them laughed maniacally.

“Grandfather, in that case, I don’t want to waste any time. I want to go and cultivate now to reach the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage as soon as possible. I want to give everyone a surprise!”

***

In just a single night, Long Chen had told Suyan his entire story and why she wasn’t his goal. His goal was just to find someone he loved. Vocalizing it all allowed him to release all of his pent-up emotions. At the same time, Suyan gained a better understanding of Long Chen. While she couldn’t deny her affection for him, she also knew that her affection was insignificant in front of Long Chen and Ling Xi’s love for each other.

It was so small that even Suyan knew that she had to bury her affection deep in her heart and couldn't show it to him.

She had cried so much that her voice was hoarse, but she couldn’t help trying to console him. “Big Brother, don’t worry. I’m sure you will become strong enough to find Sister Ling Xi. I believe you can do it! Don’t give up!”

Long Chen smiled helplessly because he didn’t know why he would tell her everything. “Yan’er, you’re the only one who's heard my story. You cannot let anyone else know, or they will laugh at me.”

“Of course not. This is our secret. Hehe…” Suyan chuckled. She was happy because Long Chen had only told her and not her sister.

“I’m telling you all of this to cheer you up. I will eventually leave you, if I can survive, that is,” Long Chen told her clearly.

He didn’t want her to remember him for a very long time after he disappeared.

“Alright.” Suyan nodded obediently.

Suyan was a kid who knew how to act, and Long Chen was glad about that. She shouldn’t be sad anymore if I continue pretending I’m going to marry Suxue.

But what Long Chen didn’t know was that she was even more sad right now. It was just that she kept it deep in her heart.

“Alright, Yan’er. I will have to fight Situ Yu in a month, so I need to cultivate. I will feed you some of my blood in a few days.”

“Big Brother, are you sure that you won’t leave me before the hundred days are up?” Suyan asked nervously.

“Of course. This is my promise. I’m pretty certain that Situ Yu wants me dead. I cannot die right now since I have to save you.”

“Really?” Suyan smiled happily.

They talked for a bit more before Long Chen left. It was already daytime, and the incident from last night had been circulating around the city. It wouldn’t take long for the news to spread out across the Ancient Graveyard. Everyone would know that a certain youth called Logn Chen had obtained the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance and became the son-in-law of the Demon clan’s patriarch.

Everyone was certain that Bai Lan would be envied by the other patriarchs. To think that he would obtain the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance so easily.

Because it was daytime, the sun suppressed the light from the stars and moon, so Long Chen could not absorb the celestial Qi to cultivate the Seven Star Body. But it was a good time for him to consolidate his understanding of the Seven Star Body and the celestial Qi. He could also increase his cultivation level by using the Martial God Tombstone.

For the next month, Long Chen would focus on the Martial God Tombstone and cultivating the Seven Star Body. The best-case scenario was for him to successfully cultivate the Seven Star Body and advance into the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage. He was certain that he would win no matter what tricks Situ Yu used.

After a day of cultivating earnestly, night arrived. The stars appeared in the skies again and bathed the lush, green ground with their starlight. Long Chen was already at the top of the tree. This time, Suxue wasn’t here, because Long Chen knew that Bai Lan was secretly guarding him. Bai Lan was one of the strongest people in the Ancient Graveyard, so it was reassuring to have him here.

Bai Lan was indeed a good person.

Long Chen noted down Bai Lan’s kindness in his heart.

He sat at the top of a leaf and started chanting. Soon, starlight covered his body and Seven Star Essence started circulating in his eighteen Martial Veins.

Celestial Qi is even more terrifying than the Metal Devouring Wind. I need to absorb the celestial Qi into my body to temper myself! It will transform into my strength and reinforce my body permanently to form the Seven Star Body. The Seven Star Body is an extremely strong intermediate Emperor-tier martial technique!

But the stronger a technique was, the more difficult it was to cultivate. The Seven Star Body was no exception to this rule. Even absorbing a tiny bit of celestial Qi was terrifying for Long Chen. One wrong move and his body would be ground to dust, so he had to be especially careful when he wanted to cultivate the Seven Star Body.

There was only one way to go, and it was forward!

Long Chen wasn’t afraid at all!

But how could his body resist the celestial Qi?

The answer was in the Seven Star Manual. Seven Star Essence wasn’t useless. He had to use it while chanting the Seven Star Manual to attract the celestial Qi in the night sky.
