Chapter 7176 The Food’s On the Table

As Long Chen led the academy’s disciples back home, their army was like a sharp blade cutting a long streak across the sky. They were still celebrating, and the morale was at an all-time high.

News of the battle had already spread, and many people had even intentionally gathered along the path of their return just so that they could see them. Wherever the academy’s experts went, countless people gazed up at them; the young disciples of sects, in particular, stared at them worshipfully.

“I wonder if the first academy is still recruiting?”

“Long Chen created the Dragonblood Legion, the number one legion of the nine heavens and ten lands. Now even the first academy is this powerful under his guidance. They are strong enough to shake all the nine heavens.”

“Long Chen really is worthy of being called the number one heavenly genius of the nine heavens. They were trying to get him killed by calling him that? Ha, they were just stating the truth!”

“Long Chen’s presence is a blessing for our human race. Hopefully one day he will lead the human race to the peak of the ten thousand races once more!”

Countless people were discussing the news among themselves. They watched with great excitement as this grand procession passed over them. For the human race to have given rise to such a man was truly a blessing. A competition between the ten thousand races was coming, and only an expert like him could lift up the human race.

The academy’s disciples were putting on an apathetic expression, but everyone’s worshipful gaze was naturally causing them to feel overjoyed inside. Let alone the regular disciples, even the likes of Zhao Yue, Du Xinhe, and Ye Qiuhong had never received such treatment. This was what it meant to have their names shake the nine heavens! In the past, their names and reputation had been limited to the academy. Now, countless experts from all forces were staring at them with reverence. They felt a swell of pride.

Du Xinhe and the others looked back at their internal competitions in the academy with shame. They truly had been frogs at the bottom of a well. But now, Long Chen had brought them up and let them see the vast sea of stars.

They gazed at that black-robed figure at the forefront with nothing but gratitude and reverence. Only now did they truly realize just what he had been doing all these years. While they were complaining about his absence, Long Chen was climbing to the peak. He was constantly facing enemies strong enough to make others despair.

This battle had taught them that true experts didn’t bother raising their blades against weaklings. Instead, they were always challenging their own limits and truly working to get stronger with every possible moment. Thinking back to their own style of cultivation and their so-called bitter training, they knew that it wasn’t even worth mentioning in front of Long Chen. After this battle, they would never complain about their cultivation and never try to find shortcuts again.

Suddenly, Long Chen raised his hand, and a mass of colored glass leaves slowly appeared in his palm. After seeing the contents recorded within, Long Chen looked at Zi Yan and Miao Yin. “Did you sense someone spying on us just now?”

The two of them were startled. There had been countless eyes in the vicinity watching. He couldn’t possibly be talking about those people, however.

Miao Yin and Zi Yan exchanged a look and shook their heads. “No...”

“Palace master, did you sense anything?” asked Long Chen.

“I did not.”

The palace master was following them from the shadows. After all, having just undergone such an immense battle, if another half-step Heavenly Sovereign suddenly appeared, Long Chen and the others might not be able to handle them.

Long Chen handed the leaves to Zi Yan, Miao Yin, and the palace master. After watching the recording, they were all shocked.

“This person was present the entire time, but we didn’t notice at all!” Miao Yin’s voice shuddered. This person was truly terrifying.

“He is very powerful. I could tell that he was there, but I have no idea where exactly. It is as if he has merged with the ten thousand Daos of heaven and earth. I think it’s something similar to the state I was in when I comprehended the Dao. During my battle with Li Yifu, I hid some of these leaves in the vicinity. So now we know someone really was there,” said Long Chen.

“He is most likely a secret successor that Qi Yunao raised. His cultivation base has reached the peak of the Sovereign Lord realm. He will most likely be your strongest competitor. Long Chen, you have to be careful!” warned the palace master.

This person had managed to hide from all their senses. That was enough to tell them that he was incredibly powerful. All of them were uneasy.

“I wonder if he managed to hide himself from the sweeping elder!” said Zi Yan.

“The sweeping elder knew of his existence. But he also saw that I set something up for him, so he didn’t bring it up!” said Long Chen.

Miao Yin interjected, “In that case, his power must be above Li Yifu’s!”

Long Chen nodded. “I believe so. Qi Yunao dared to have him hide in the presence of the sweeping elder. That shows they had confidence. This fellow must have other trump cards on top of his own strength. In other words, if Qi Yunao had started fighting the sweeping elder back there, he would have most likely participated!”

Now their expressions truly changed. Someone capable of participating in a battle between Heavenly Sovereigns while not even being a Divine Sovereign....

“Long Chen, it seems that you don’t feel any pressure about it. Do you have a way of dealing with him?” asked Zi Yan when she saw how calm he was about it. She couldn’t help being curious.

“Right now, his greatest advantage over me is his cultivation base. I am about to break through to the seventh Heavenstage. When that happens, my astral energy will also undergo a massive transformation,” said Long Chen.

To go from the middle stage to the late stage was a major step. His Eight Star Battle Armor would truly transform, and his body would also be strengthened so that he could endure even greater astral energy.

“You’re going to advance to the seventh Heavenstage soon? When?” Zi Yan narrowed her eyes. Long Chen had just broken through two Heavenstages in the Primal Chaos World. How was he going to advance to the seventh so quickly?

“Hmm, I’m not too sure. I think about two days from now. It’s up to the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect,” said Long Chen with a grin.

The Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect? The two women stared at him in confusion. Just what was Long Chen thinking?

It wasn’t long before they returned to the first academy. The entire academy was overjoyed, but Long Chen didn’t give them any time to celebrate. He had them immediately recover. Everyone was startled by how serious he was acting—was there going to be another fight?

Two days passed, and everyone was back to peak condition. They were all on high alert. Quite a few people had made breakthroughs as a result of this battle, and some had even advanced two realms. As it turned out, nothing beat a true trial of life and death. The pressure of a half-step Heavenly Sovereign had also worked wonders for unlocking their potential. With the support of the karmic luck dragon manifestation, their power rapidly advanced.

Suddenly, Long Chen opened his eyes. A colored glass leaf appeared before him. He saw a scene of the Immortal Ascension Gate’s karmic luck rapidly gathering.

“The food’s on the table! It’s time to feast!”

Long Chen grinned sinisterly. He immediately brought the academy’s combat-ready disciples away once more.
