Chapter 5992 Violet Cloud Pavilion
The Infinity-One Technique—the very name sent shockwaves through all of Sovereign Mountain. Known as the number one technique of the violet blood race, the master of ten thousand arts, it was a legacy of near-mythical power.
When word spread that Long Chen had obtained the Infinity-One Technique from the ancestral inheritance, the Bi family trembled. It was as if they were mourning their own funeral.
They had lost a Spirit Awakener, while Long Chen had benefited.
Now that Long Chen knew the Infinity-One Technique, he had become a priceless treasure of Sovereign Mountain. His status soared instantly, nearly equal to the mountain lord herself. To move against him now would be suicidal.
The gameboard had been shattered by Long Chen in one decisive strike. Backed by Long Chen, the Luo family had become the family with the greatest potential among the four great families.
But Long Chen didn’t care for such power plays. He despised this kind of internal conflict. If he were the one in charge of Sovereign Mountain, most of its so-called experts would have been wiped out by him.
Now, Long Chen was invited to the inner sanctum of the divine peak. There, the Luo family’s head and several Sovereign Lords were gathered here to formally greet him. Among the younger generation, only a handful—including Luo Fengying—were allowed to attend.
They had witnessed Long Chen’s might firsthand. Aside from Luo Fengying, perhaps none of them were even qualified to enter his gaze. They feared that if too many youngsters came, it would simply annoy him.
“Congratulations, Long Chen,” said Luo Fengying with a warm smile. “The Infinity-One Technique is the greatest secret art of our violet blood race. Once you comprehend it, don’t forget about us!”
The young geniuses of the Luo family looked at him ardently. After all, the Infinity-One Technique was something every expert of the violet blood race dreamed of obtaining.
“I only gained the embryonic form and haven’t had any chance to comprehend it. In fact, I should just transmit it to all of you. Maybe you’ll grasp it faster than I can. And once you do, be sure to teach me!” said Long Chen.
Long Chen was quite fond of Luo Fengying. After all, she had bravely stepped forward to face Bi Xingyao in his place.
As for the other Luo family geniuses, they weren’t just talented—their gazes were firm and bright. Long Chen saw no reason to hoard the technique from these hot-blooded warriors.
Moreover, he had a deeper reason. The ancient senior, who had gifted him the embryonic form, had said that comprehending the technique would require understanding more of the violet blood race’s secret arts.
Luo Fengying and the others had grown up immersed in those teachings. Perhaps they could understand the technique better and faster than he could. By sharing it with them, he could study their insights and accelerate his own comprehension, while also placing them in his debt.
Just like that, Long Chen circulated his violet blood energy and transmitted the Infinity-One Technique to all of them. Due to it being an embryonic form, it was very easy to transmit. They simply had to circulate their violet blood energy to receive it.
One by one, the character One appeared on their foreheads.
But as Long Chen watched, an odd feeling surfaced in his heart. The moment that symbol manifested, Luo Fengying and the others underwent immediate changes. Luo Fengying, in particular, underwent a large transformation. Her aura grew heavier and deeper, while a black rune appeared in her eyes.
From the shock and joy on her face, Long Chen could tell she had received immense benefits instantly. She hadn’t even started studying it, and she had transformed.
Long Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit sour. And me? I got nothing?Is it because I don’t have pure violet blood?
Seeing Long Chen freely sharing the Infinity-One Technique, the higher-ups were deeply moved. If Long Chen had chosen to keep it to himself, no one could’ve stopped him. Not even the mountain lord. At most, the mountain lord would think of some way to get it out of him. But it would only be through gentle and tactful methods.
But Long Chen hadn't hesitated to share the technique. That level of magnanimity wasn’t something just anyone could possess.
The Luo family head was grinning so hard his cheeks nearly split. He had originally been thinking about how to tactfully remind Long Chen that the technique “belonged to all of Sovereign Mountain.” But there was no need for that anymore.
Luo Fengying and the others were in a rush to comprehend it. After saying goodbye to Long Chen, they directly went into seclusion.
Before she left, however, Luo Fengying secretly visited mountain lord Qingyu’s residence and transmitted the embryonic form to her as well. After all, the Infinity-One Technique was too important to be monopolized by any single family. Whether others were qualified to inherit it... that was for the mountain lord to worry about.
Once Luo Fengying left, Long Chen headed toward the highest level of the Violet Cloud Pavilion.
This level was completely empty, save for rows of towering bookshelves. But instead of normal books, the shelves were filled with bone books. This was the violet blood race’s most sacred collection of secret arts.
Each book pulsed with faint Sovereign might. They were all made from the bones of former Sovereign Lords. Every piece represented a legend.
The violet divine light radiating from the runes bathed the chamber in a mysterious glow, like divine stars frozen in time.
As Long Chen stepped into the center of the room, four figures appeared on the roof of the pavilion. They were the four mountain lords.
Even Spirit Awakeners were not permitted to set foot on this floor. If they wished to study a technique, they had to do so in the lower cultivation chambers—and only one bone book at a time.
These bone books were the very foundation of the violet blood race, so there could be no room for error. Normally, not even the Elders in charge of this place would set foot inside. Instead, they used a summoning technique to retrieve specific bone books, one at a time.
Each request required a strict process, complete with formal applications and examinations. But Long Chen had no time for such things. He directly requested to enter the highest level himself.
That kind of unprecedented demand would normally be flatly refused. Yet this time, it was granted. Long Chen’s status was simply too extraordinary, and that earned him this special privilege.
Even so, the four mountain lords didn’t dare to take chances—they silently kept watch from above. Though they didn’t know why Long Chen insisted on coming here personally, they believed the ancestor who had bestowed Long Chen with the Infinity-One Technique had entrusted them to help Long Chen.
Long Chen sat on the ground and closed his eyes, circulating his violet blood energy slowly.
“There are too many secret arts here. It would take countless years to go through them all. Instead of me choosing one of you, I’ll let you all choose me.”
Violet blood energy ignited around him as an invisible force surged outward in a resonant call.
“He’s...!” The four mountain lords’ eyes widened in astonishment.
The bone books lining the shelves started to tremble. One after another, ancient runes lifted from their surfaces, glowing with divine light as they drifted toward Long Chen.
