Chapter 7247 Another Battle
Once the karmic luck challenge was initiated, Long Chen turned around and let out a shout.
“Are you planning on doing anything or not? If not, I’m leaving! If you miss this chance, you might regret it for the rest of your lives! Of course, even if you do attack, you’ll be regretting it for the rest of your lives!”
Yet even now, there was no response. It appeared that whoever had been here had already left.
Long Chen sneered, and a hint of disappointment flashed through the palace master’s vertical pupils. Clearly, despite how much those hidden Heavenly Sovereigns wanted to kill Long Chen, they were wary of someone, and so they didn’t dare to attack. If the palace master had been the only one on Long Chen’s side, they probably would not have been so scared, which meant that there were also people on Long Chen’s side among the hidden experts.
The sweeping elder had given the palace master a trump card that he could use. Unfortunately, the other side was too cowardly, and he couldn’t achieve his ambition of slaughtering a Heavenly Sovereign. Sadly, due to his status, the palace master could not continuously provoke them like Long Chen did, so he could only watch quietly and swallow down his disappointment.
Slowly, the karmic luck dragon manifestation faded away as all of its energy was divided. The various disciples were all incredibly excited. They had never thought that this brash decision of theirs would lead to them being given a fraction of the karmic luck of the Heavenly Daos. This practically guaranteed them an open path toward a bright future.
Among them, there were even some rather ordinary disciples, people who couldn’t be considered elites, who had charged in like madmen purely because they had gotten hot-headed. But thanks to this karmic luck, their talent and aptitude would be uplifted to a new level. From now on, there was no way they could ever be described as ordinary again. Furthermore, thanks to this karmic luck, the forces they belonged to would have to do everything they could to nurture them. After all, as long as they were still alive, their sects and families would be blessed by the karmic luck as well.
Long Chen looked over all of them and said, “The karmic luck of the Heavenly Daos has blessed you. This means that you are now people chosen by the heavens. However, this power is not given for free. The more power you have, the greater your responsibilities. When you return to your sects, you must seize every chance and every resource you can and rise to the peak. And heed my warning: Status and greed will try to corrupt your Dao-heart. I hope that you can keep your hearts pure in the face of all that. Don’t let yourselves be corrupted. There are still many things for you to do in the future... There are things that only you can do.”
“Lord Long Chen, we will forever remember your guidance! I swear to never forget what happened today!” promised one person.
They had only received this blessing thanks to Long Chen. No matter what happened to them in the future, as long as Long Chen gave the order, they would not hesitate to stand alongside him. Even if they died, they would have no regrets.
The fervent gazes coming from those disciples made their elders worry. After all, these disciples were now no longer just a few talented youths among many, but people their sects would depend on. Once they grew up, many of them would become the leaders of their sects. In that case, wouldn’t Long Chen practically be in control of all those sects?
When they thought of that, those crafty old fellows all felt a cold chill.
Looking back on it now, Long Chen’s seemingly brash action at the start could actually be considered the first step of an incredibly well-thought-out plan. And if this truly had been his plan all along, then it could be said that everything was under his control. When the elders saw the passion in their disciples’ eyes, they understood that these disciples would not hesitate even if Long Chen ordered them to kill themselves. They clearly worshipped him to the point of losing their own rationality.
Long Chen nodded and waved for them to return to their individual factions. Only then did they reluctantly depart.
When they had gone to support Long Chen, their higher-ups had furiously cursed them. Some of them even declared that these disciples were expelled from their sects or clans. But when they came back, those old fellows instantly became courteous and smiled fawningly.
There was no way around it. With this karmic luck, as long as these disciples didn’t die, they had limitless prospects. Even if they were loyal to Long Chen, their organizations had to do their best to keep them. If the higher-ups dared to display the slightest dissatisfaction and then these disciples decided to join the High Firmament Academy, that would be an unrecoverable loss.
Furthermore, while the stronger factions would be afraid of falling under the High Firmament Academy’s control, the smaller ones wished that they could have such a powerful backer. Then their safety would be guaranteed, and they wouldn’t have to worry about being devoured by a bigger fish one day.
The karmic luck dragon manifestation was gone, and the North Sea Silver Fox race vanished with it. From now on, their name would be erased from this world. Due to their betrayal of the nine heavens and ten lands, even if there were some survivors, they would be cursed by the Heavenly Daos, and this curse would not disappear until they were wiped out.
In this battle, Cang Lu had seized the Dark Son’s throne and turned it into his own. This was a solid foundation for him to step into the Heavenly Sovereign realm in the future. His advancement to the Heavenly Sovereign realm was merely a matter of time.
Other than this, there was one matter that gave Long Chen a headache. That was that the number of Heavenly Dao Fruits had completely buried the Heavenly Dao Tree. In this battle, they had killed an enormous number of enemies, and distributing that many Heavenly Dao Fruits would be a massive enterprise, even with the help of Miao Yin.
Long Chen had no time to deal with all of them. He could only move them aside. In the future, he would have to think of a way of dealing with them.
As the various groups began to depart, Long Chen and the others remained right where they were. It looked as if they were bringing up the rear for everyone, but the truth was that Long Chen and the palace master were both holding on to a bit of hope—the palace master truly wanted to kill a Heavenly Sovereign, while Long Chen wanted a Heavenly Sovereign’s Heavenly Dao Fruit.
But even once everyone left, there was no movement. Furthermore, Long Chen could no longer feel that faint sense of being watched. It was obvious that the other party was well and truly gone. Long Chen exchanged a look with the palace master, and they both saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes. They really did want to see how strong the trump card that the sweeping elder had left them was.
“Brothers and sisters, this battle is our victory. But it still isn’t the time to rest; we have another battle to fight. Are you willing to fight once more?” asked Long Chen.
“We fight!”
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
Whether it was the academy’s elites or Miao Yin’s subordinates, they were all ready to go. This battle had been a major victory, and they felt as if there was nothing that could stop them now.
Long Chen waved a hand. The eight High Firmament Flags flew out, surrounding them; starlight shot out of Long Chen’s feet and enveloped them.
Long Chen started forming hand seals while the High Firmament Flags flapped loudly. He seemed to be sensing something. After a few breaths, his eyes flashed.
“Found it!”
Starlight blazed, and everyone instantly vanished.
