Chapter 5733 - Purple Blood Ignites the Heavens
"Purple Blood Ignites the Heavens, triggered automatically, my goodness, this is..."
When they saw the flames burning fiercely on Long Chen's body, Huang Chang and the others were greatly astonished. Even Long Chen himself was taken aback. He didn't know what was happening. Upon entering the enchantment, the power of his purple blood began to burn uncontrollably.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen formed hand seals with both hands, forcibly suppressing the flames enveloping him.
"Senior, what's going on?" Long Chen couldn't help asking.
As it turned out, the gateway of this enchantment was empowered by a secret technique of the Purple Blood clan. It could sense the malicious thoughts within a person's heart. If anyone harbored ill intentions towards the Purple Blood lineage, the enchantment would sound an alert. This was also a form of testing.
Above this enchantment lay the supreme principles of the Purple Blood clan, and these principles could also be used to test the potential of the clan's disciples.
Activating these runic principles consumed an astonishing amount of energy, and the Purple Blood clan only opened them at specific times each year.
However, today, due to a disciple mistaking Long Zhan Tian for an enemy, the enchantment had been triggered. With the activation of its power, the testing runes were also unleashed.
Under these testing runes, the Purple Blood clan determined the strength of a disciple's bloodline based on the fluctuations of their purple blood.
For Long Chen's bloodline to burn, there was an exclusive term within the Purple Blood lineage – "Purple Blood Ignites the Heavens."
And the degree of "Purple Blood Ignites the Heavens" was also categorized. As long as flames were ignited, it could be considered as "Purple Blood Ignites the Heavens." Flames surpassing a "chi" in length were already rare, while those exceeding a "zhang" were considered the elites among elites.
The flames that had erupted from Long Chen just now had devoured the space within a radius of a hundred li in an instant. If Long Chen hadn't suppressed it in time, it would have continued to surge.
Seeing this scene, Huang Chang and the others were dumbfounded. When they looked at Long Chen again, their gazes held a different kind of respect.
They had never expected that a disciple who had come from the outside world to acknowledge his roots would turn out to be an extraordinarily talented genius. This was like a huge pie falling from the sky for the Purple Blood clan.
"Hurry and report to the Clan Chief, my esteemed Senior Long Zhan, and both of you, please follow me."
Huang Chang's demeanor had changed dramatically. He now addressed Long Zhan as if he were a brother, gesturing for them to follow him. His voice was filled with excitement.
Initially intending to take them to the outer courtyard, Huang Chang led them directly into a teleportation array instead. After a short transfer, they arrived at a plaza.
Entering the plaza, Long Chen saw tens of thousands of young disciples sitting in meditation, all attentively listening to a woman speaking on a raised platform. From the setup, it seemed like she was giving a lecture.
What surprised Long Chen was that all these tens of thousands of young men and women were actually all at the Thirteen Veins Heaven Saint level. He could hardly believe his eyes – every single one of them was at the Thirteen Veins Heaven Saint level. Wasn't this too unbelievable?
However, what puzzled Long Chen was that even though they were all at the Thirteen Veins Heaven Saint level, not everyone was that powerful. There weren't many at the level of experts like Li Changgeng or Fantiande.
"Could it be that what Dad said is true? The Thirteen Veins Heaven Saint level isn't as rare as he imagined? Could it really be because of cultivation techniques?" Long Chen couldn't help but mutter to himself.
At first, Long Chen was genuinely taken aback. If they were all at the level of Li Changgeng or Fantiande, that would be terrifying.
When Long Chen appeared, both the instructor and many disciples couldn't help but glance over, indicating that they recognized Huang Chang. However, they didn't recognize Long Chen and his father.
Especially since neither of them wore the attire of the Purple Blood lineage, nor did they have any identity medals, they naturally stood out.
"Focus on the lecture!"
Suddenly, the female instructor sternly shouted, startling even Long Chen.
She wore an insignia similar to Huang Chang's. Like him, she probably belonged to the same level of elder.
Her gaze was sharp as lightning as she scanned all the disciples, her voice filled with anger:
"As elite disciples of the Purple Blood lineage, you bear the mission of reviving the Purple Blood clan. How can you be distracted by the slightest breeze and rustle of grass? This indicates that what I just spoke of was not taken seriously by you at all.
As outstanding peers of the same generation, you can't even concentrate your minds. You are truly disappointing.
To learn without thinking leads to confusion, to think without learning is perilous. To enter the path without comprehending the Way, to comprehend the Way without cultivating the Way, in the end, it's all in vain..."
The female instructor's words were sharp, her gaze fierce. Long Chen couldn't help but feel sympathy for the disciples.
This kind of instructor was rigid, teaching cultivation methods directly from books, monotonous and dull. People found it torturous to endure, and in such situations, everyone wished for her lecture to end quickly. It felt like time was dragging on endlessly; who would really want to listen attentively?
With one reprimand from the female instructor, all the disciples hurriedly turned their faces, appearing earnestly focused. However, they still cast sidelong glances at Long Chen's group, secretly speculating about their identities.
After passing through the plaza, Huang Chang explained with a smile, "Instructor Quan Xi is one of the strictest instructors in our clan.
Since our Purple Blood lineage possesses some profound techniques and abilities that aren't allowed to be privately accessed by disciples, they can only be passed down orally. That's why this situation occurs."
Huang Chang was much more friendly now than before, and his use of "our" implied that he regarded Long Chen and his father as one of their own.
As they spoke, a grand hall came into view. Dozens of guards were positioned on either side of the hall, apparently waiting for quite some time. When Huang Chang arrived, they all respectfully saluted him.
The doors of the palace opened, and a terrifying aura of imperial authority surged towards Long Chen. He was lifted off the ground by the pressure. He was about to instinctively activate his energy to resist, but was promptly held back by Long Zhan Tian.
Only then did Long Chen remember that his father had instructed him that, at all times here, he was only allowed to use the power of the purple blood. He had almost used the power of the starry sky just now.
After the gust of wind subsided, the space returned to calmness. Long Chen finally saw that there were already dozens of figures standing in the hall.
What shocked Long Chen was that all these figures were Purple Crown God Emperors – there were around sixty to seventy of them. The scene was quite astonishing.
When Long Chen appeared, they remained silent, looking at him with cold eyes as sharp as swords, as if they wanted to see through him completely.
Being stared at by so many people, Long Chen couldn't help but furrow his brows. He felt a bit displeased: What's going on? Are they trying to exert their authority over us father and son?
"Child, come in and let this old man have a look at you!"
At that moment, a gentle and elderly voice echoed within the hall. The voice was very soothing, even just listening to it made people feel comfortable. It gave the impression that the speaker was an elder of high age and virtue.
As the voice emerged, the God Emperor powerhouses gathered at the door took a step back, creating a path. Long Zhan Tian and Long Chen walked forward, one after the other, through the crowd. Facing the cold gazes of these people, Long Chen returned the same icy stare.
"Are God Emperors really that remarkable? At this distance, none of you can avoid my sight," Long Chen thought with a cold snort.
He hadn't expected that entering the Purple Blood clan would begin with such a situation. It was quite different from what he had anticipated.
As they passed through the crowd, Long Chen finally saw the figure seated on the throne directly ahead. An elderly man with white hair but a youthful appearance held a cane. He was looking at Long Chen with a benevolent smile. When Long Chen approached, the old man nodded approvingly and said, "Good, very good!"
Upon seeing the nod from the old man, a cold voice suddenly sounded, "Clan Chief, this young man is arrogant and disrespectful, and his appearance is repugnant. He might not be a good person at all!"
Long Chen noticed a chill in the air as he heard the voice. It seemed to challenge his entry.
He glanced in the direction of the voice and saw a woman standing among the God Emperor powerhouses. She had a frosty expression, and her gaze was sharp and critical, directed straight at him.
The elderly man on the throne spoke again, his voice calm and authoritative, "Elder Han Ying, you shouldn't jump to conclusions. Every newcomer deserves a fair chance to present themselves."
The woman called Elder Han Ying didn't reply, but her expression remained cold and skeptical. It was clear that she had her doubts about Long Chen.
Long Chen continued to walk forward until he stood before the throne, his expression calm and composed. He met the gaze of the elderly man, feeling an inexplicable pressure from his presence.
The Clan Chief leaned slightly on his cane, his eyes seemingly able to see through Long Chen's thoughts. He spoke in a measured tone, "I've been informed that you possess a unique bloodline and that you wish to acknowledge your roots within our Purple Blood clan. Is that correct?"
Long Chen nodded respectfully. "Indeed, Clan Chief. My name is Long Chen, and I am here to acknowledge my heritage in the Purple Blood clan."
The Clan Chief nodded as if he had expected Long Chen's response. "Long Chen, your father, Long Zhan Tian, was once a promising member of our clan. It's unfortunate that due to certain circumstances, he left. And now, you have returned."
The Clan Chief's words were calm, but Long Chen sensed a hint of scrutiny behind them. It seemed that the Clan Chief was assessing him not just as Long Zhan Tian's son, but as an individual.
"As the Clan Chief, I am responsible for upholding the values and principles of our clan," the elderly man continued. "Before we decide whether to accept you into the Purple Blood clan, there are a few matters we need to discuss."
Long Chen remained composed, his demeanor respectful. He understood that this was not going to be a simple process. The journey to truly become a part of the Purple Blood clan was just beginning, and it appeared that challenges lay ahead.
