"Another Long Zaiye!" Upon hearing this name, a mocking smile appeared on Long Chen's face.
"Don't be fooled by this name." Seeing Long Chen's expression, Feng Fei hurriedly said.
Long Chen said, "Long Zaiye is named after the Battle Dragon Zaiye. Within the dragon clan, there is the War Dragon clan, a branch of the Imperial Dragon. They are the bravest warriors of the Imperial Dragon clan and their most loyal guards.
In the Long family, it seems there are quite a few people with that name; at least I've met a few."
Feng Fei said seriously, "This time you're wrong. The reason the Long family likes to name them Long Zaiye is because of Long Zaiye. They hope their children can absorb some of his fortune and become someone like him."
"Oh?"
Long Chen was taken aback.
"A month ago, I went with the Jiang family elders to visit the Long family. I was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of Long Zaiye.
Yet just that one glance nearly shattered my Dao heart and my will. I had never seen anyone like this.
Looking at him makes one feel despair, causing them to lose confidence and courage in martial arts. He is like a mountain blocking the sky, and that oppressive feeling makes one despair." At this point, Feng Fei's voice trembled, her eyes filled with fear:
"At that time, we watched through a spatial barrier, and he hadn't opened his eyes yet. But that one glance nearly ruined my future."
Seeing the fear in Feng Fei's eyes, Long Chen's heart raced wildly. Feng Fei was someone well-traveled; to be so frightened like this, Long Chen truly couldn't imagine just how strong Long Zaiye had become.
Feng Fei took a sip of tea, and after her emotions settled a little, she continued, "This Long Zaiye is a renowned figure in the history of the Long family. It's said that during the Chaos Era, he once slew seventeen powerful Nine-Star heirs..."
"Smack..."
Long Chen was holding his teacup, and upon hearing this, The teacup in Long Chen's hand was instantly crushed to pieces, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
Feng Fei pretended not to notice Long Chen's actions and continued, "Back then, the Nine-Star heirs were all said to be invincible among their peers. He slew Nine-Star Inheritors one after another, causing a sensation throughout the world.
At that time, the Lord of the Nine Stars had already fallen, and the Nine Star heirs were being hunted. But the Nine Star heirs were famously fierce, and usually killing them required a pile of lives.
For someone like Long Zaiye, who single-handedly fought a Nine-Star heir and killed them seventeen times in a row, was extremely rare.
However, at that time, due to the chaos war, heaven and earth were shattered into pieces, the laws were incomplete, and great luck was gone.
To wait for the best opportunity, Long Zaiye chose to seal himself. In fact, countless prodigies at the time chose to seal because the environment was simply unsuitable for condensing the Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi.
On one hand, the world was already incomplete, fortune was declining, and it was difficult to condense a perfect Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi.
Even if the Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi is condensed, heaven and earth cannot nurture so many Emperors, which is also why there are so many Sealers in the Nine Heavens World.
Everyone was waiting—waiting for the vital energy of the nine heavens and ten earths to recover, for the great fortune to arrive, like fish and shrimp trapped in shallow water, waiting for the sea to rise.
Now, even Long Zaiye has been awakened, which means the monsters of that era will gradually awaken, and the whole world will be transformed."
Long Chen was uninterested in anything else, but when he heard that Long Zaiye had slain the Nine-Star successor, his killing intent instantly surged.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand why his father had released the Linglong Blood Demon as soon as he arrived at the Long family. It was as if his father had long known that he and the Long family were mortal enemies, so he had no reservations at all.
"Long Zaiye is the symbol of the strongest prodigy of the Long family. So, there are countless Long Zaiye in the Long family. But those Longzaiye and this Dragon Zaiye are completely different concepts. Don't be fooled." Feng Fei looked at Long Chen, her expression grave as she reminded him.
Long Chen nodded. To be able to kill a Nine-Star heir one-on-one—and not just anyone, but a Nine-Star heir from the Chaos Era—Long Zaiye was absolutely terrifying.
However, no matter how strong he was, having killed the Nine-Star heir, they were mortal enemies.
Long Zaiye's revival would make him the leader of the Long family, and the entire Long family would become his mortal enemy. If they didn't meet, it would be fine, but once they did, it would inevitably be a life-or-death struggle.
"Thank you for the reminder, Fairy Fengfei. I will be careful." Long Chen said. Feng Fei kindly came to remind him, and this favor was something Long Chen wanted to receive.
"I'm here this time partly to warn you that the Long family might come after you for revenge, and partly to tell you that the Four Great Divine Clans will all enter the Tianmai Profound Realm. Inside, there is a supreme treasure that the Four Great Clans are determined to obtain—the Jiuli Divine Stele."
"The Jiuli Divine Stele?" What is that?" Long Chen asked.
"The Jiuli Divine Stele is engraved with the original Jiuli Divine Pattern. It is said that it is not an object of the Nine Heavens, but comes from beyond the heavens, obtained by the Lord of the Nine Stars, and founded the Nine Star lineage.
The divine stele shattered in the chaos war, but a fragment remained within the Heavenly Vein Profound Realm.
This broken divine stele is said to record the secrets of the Nine Heavens. If someone can crack it, they might become the second Lord of the Nine Stars." Feng Fei said.
"The second Nine-Star Lord?" Long Chen couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"That's just a legend. Rumor has it that the Lord of the Nine Stars obtained the complete divine stele. Now, the stele has shattered and its inscription damaged. Even if we obtain the whole thing, it will no longer be the divine stele it once was.
However, the divine stele within the Celestial Vein Profound Realm bears the original Jiuli Immortal Script, an original text from beyond the heavens. Unlike the immortal scripts we have seen, it contains endless mysteries, with every stroke aligning with the Heavenly Dao.
Unfortunately, the immortal script on the divine stele cannot be recorded on paper or passed down orally. Historically, anyone among the divine race who comprehended a single stroke would achieve tremendous breakthroughs and astonishing achievements.
This time, the four great divine clans have gathered all their strength, aiming to bring the Jiuli Divine Stele out of the Heavenly Vein Profound Realm." Feng Fei said.
"Do you need my help?" Long Chen asked.
Feng Fei looked at Long Chen and said, "The reason I came this time is to tell you that the target of the Four Great Divine Clans is the Jiuli Divine Stele. You should try to avoid them as much as possible."
Seeing Feng Fei's sincere eyes, Long Chen's heart tightened. Feng Fei was genuinely frightened by Long Zaiye. She believed Long Chen was definitely no match for him and didn't want him to go to his death.
Long Chen felt a bit moved. This time, Feng Fei had come without any purpose for a deal; she simply wanted Long Chen to live, never thinking about gaining any benefit from him.
Feng Fei had been close to him before, mostly with a certain purpose, valuing his potential.
But this time, she saw the terrifying Long Zaiye and lost faith in Long Chen. Yet she didn't treat him as a discarded pawn. Instead, she risked traveling thousands of miles to report to him.
"Fairy Fengfei, I, Long Chen, will remember this favor." Long Chen said solemnly.
Feng Fei looked at Long Chen, a smile blooming on her face: "I don't need you to remember my favor,I just hope you're well. Alright, I need to hurry back. Take good care of yourself."
Despite Long Chen's plea, Feng Fei still left. When Feng Fei left, Tang Wan'er and Long Chen watched her leave.
"Long Zaiye, right? "Wait for me!"
