Chapter 5730: Thirteen Stellar Dragon Veins
"Rumbling..."
Countless stars shimmered above the earth, each one forming starry runes arranged in peculiar patterns, creating a strange formation.
Seated within the grand formation, Long Chen seemed as if he were sitting between two enormous mirrors. The starry sky stretched on infinitely, boundless and endless.
Behind Long Chen, the starry dragon veins danced, endless starlight converging towards him. In just three short days, Long Chen had already condensed thirteen starry dragon veins.
On his back, an eight-colored divine halo rotated, connecting the two realms of sky and earth, channeling boundless starry power into the thirteen starry dragon veins.
As the thirteen starry dragon veins completed their condensation, they greedily absorbed the power of heaven and earth. Initially nebulous, these veins underwent a qualitative transformation as they grew. Though the quantity of starry power no longer increased, their nature changed, and their forms became increasingly distinct.
Dragon tails, claws, and horns began to emanate a unique radiance, no longer illusory but taking on tangible form.
"What an immense aura!"
Even Linglong Bloodfiend, who watched from the side, couldn't help but exclaim, "What cultivation technique is your son practicing? How could the power of the dragon veins become so formidable?"
"What cultivation technique?" Dragon Zhan Tian's expression turned somewhat odd.
"What's with that look?" Linglong Bloodfiend retorted with a touch of dissatisfaction, thinking Dragon Zhan Tian was mocking its ignorance.
"You really don't know?" Dragon Zhan Tian asked.
"Nonsense, if I knew, why would I ask you? I've been trapped by your Dragon Clan for so many years, how could I possibly know?" Linglong Bloodfiend replied indignantly.
"Isn't it in your ancestral memories? Don't you know how your ancestors died?" Dragon Zhan Tian inquired.
"Our ancestors died at the hands of someone called the Lord of Nine Stars... Wait a moment, you mean... Damn it!" Linglong Bloodfiend exclaimed.
"The cultivation technique your son is practicing, could it be from that guy?"
"That's right," Dragon Zhan Tian affirmed.
Linglong Bloodfiend gritted its teeth and said, "So, it turns out you're the descendant of my enemy. If you make me spar with your son again, do you believe I'll kill him?"
Dragon Zhan Tian smiled faintly and didn't reply. It seemed that he wasn't particularly concerned about Linglong Bloodfiend's threat.
"This infuriates me! One is the descendant of my imprisoned enemy, the other is the disciple of the one who wiped out my ancestors. You and your son are both no good," Linglong Bloodfiend seethed.
"It's alright, you'll get used to it!" Dragon Zhan Tian consoled.
"Alright my foot! If you were in my shoes, could you get used to it? Aren't you just bullying me? Moreover, is there anyone who bullies others like this?" Linglong Bloodfiend roared in anger.
"No, no, no, you're not a person," Dragon Zhan Tian corrected.
"You..." Linglong Bloodfiend growled in frustration, its four claws tearing through the void as it disappeared in an instant.
Facing Linglong Bloodfiend's departure, Dragon Zhan Tian didn't care at all. His gaze remained fixed on Long Chen within the formation.
Using the runes from the Nine Li Divine Stele, he had crafted a formation that could harness the power of the stars for Long Chen. Although it had some flaws, the starry power it could evoke was rapidly aiding Long Chen in condensing his dragon veins.
As he watched the specks of starlight around Long Chen, Dragon Zhan Tian's expression gradually grew serious. Countless runes danced in his mind, as he continuously calculated this technique for Long Chen.
Dragon Zhan Tian was originally a peerless genius with talent comparable to an emperor. During the more than twenty years of his captivity, unable to use his body, he had single-mindedly focused on his calculations of various magical techniques. In these years, he had derived countless magical arts. When he finally freed himself from confinement, he began to validate his calculations. The results showed that over ninety percent of his calculations were accurate.
Meeting Long Chen this time, Long Chen naturally didn't hide anything from his own father. He truthfully explained the cultivation technique he was practicing.
Regarding the Dragon God Body Refining Art, Dragon Zhan Tian marveled at its brilliance. It was an almost perfect divine art, but unfortunately, it was a unique skill of the Dragon Clan. When Long Chen practiced it, there would be repelling effects.
Dragon Zhan Tian also took the time to give Long Chen some pointers, advising him to focus on certain aspects in order to minimize the repelling effects and bring out the full potential of the dragon blood's power.
However, when Dragon Zhan Tian delved into the study of the Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art, he encountered a dilemma. He was astonished to find that this art was riddled with loopholes, endless flaws, and even contradictions within its techniques. Many aspects of controlling the power and the methods of operation were unfounded and completely deviated from the natural laws of the cosmos. In this state, achieving the unity of man and heaven was impossible.
Upon closer examination, he also noticed that amidst these errors, there seemed to be hints of a turning point. The Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art was far too intricate and complex for him to calculate or deduce. He realized that he could only truly grasp its intricacies through actual practice. Contrary to the saying that outsiders see more clearly, sometimes those directly involved understand better.
Even with Dragon Zhan Tian's confidence, he was filled with reverence for the Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art. The person who created this technique possessed unimaginable wisdom, and he clearly had much to learn.
After his research, although he only scratched the surface, he still managed to gain some insights that could help Long Chen.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a deafening sound echoed, and the starry sky trembled. Following the sound, a vast surge of starry power swept over. The gusts of astral winds tousled Dragon Zhan Tian's long hair and interrupted his thoughts.
Dragon Zhan Tian focused his gaze and saw that among the thirteen dragon veins behind Long Chen, one of them emitted a shining light from its scales. The starlight flickered in its eyes, as if it had been granted life. Amidst its immense pressure, it gained a trace of agility.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A series of explosions followed, like the finishing touches of a painting. The starry dragon veins on Long Chen's back danced one after another. In a short span of time, the thirteen colossal starry dragons seemed to have been infused with life and spirit. Their vast pressure radiated through the heavens and earth. At this moment, Long Chen's starry power advanced to a state of perfection.
"Hum..."
When Long Chen's starry power reached perfection, he opened his eyes, and it seemed as if a universe was swirling within his pupils. At that moment, the starry expanse around him suddenly brightened. As the starlight vanished from Long Chen's eyes, the stars in the heavens and earth disappeared as well.
"Not bad, not bad. Transmit and receive from the heart, your starry power has reached perfection. Now, it's time for the Sovereign Blood," Dragon Zhan Tian remarked.
"Can the Sovereign Blood also condense dragon veins?" Long Chen couldn't help but excitedly shout.
"Of course. If it couldn't, how would your old man here have advanced to the Divine Emperor rank?" Dragon Zhan Tian chuckled.
After saying this, Dragon Zhan Tian transmitted a set of techniques to Long Chen. This set of techniques was one that Dragon Zhan Tian had spent over twenty years developing on his own, condensing his lifelong experience and efforts.
Originally, he intended for Long Chen to use these techniques as his primary cultivation method, but he later realized that the Dragon God Body Refining Art was no worse than his techniques. Moreover, the Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art was astounding. So, he decided to give this set of techniques to Long Chen as supplementary methods.
"Alright, let's begin condensing the Sovereign Dragon Veins. Your old man will be your guardian." With the teachings completed, Long Chen grasped the essence immediately. Dragon Zhan Tian instructed Long Chen to start condensing the dragon veins.
"What about Senior Linglong?" Long Chen suddenly realized that Linglong Bloodfiend, who was supposed to be guarding for them, had disappeared.
"He got an upset stomach and went looking for a bush," Dragon Zhan Tian casually replied.
