Chapter 6743 Origin of Divine Son
“Spiritual Strength that can pass through space? Not bad!”
Long Chen nodded slightly as the immense spiritual pressure washed over him.
To accurately lock onto this position from such a great distance and then compress that power into such a narrow range required formidable Spiritual Strength. The control alone was impressive.
However, it meant nothing in front of Long Chen.
Beside him, Xu Changchuan’s forehead glowed. He was resisting this spiritual pressure.
The others nearby fared far worse. One after another, they summoned their bloodline power. Some even ignited their essence runes to resist this pressure.
“Brother Long, you are as strong as ever,” Xu Changchuan praised when he saw how Long Chen completely ignored Jin Xingtian’s spiritual attack.
Xu Changchuan had been quite fortunate when he entered the Primal Chaos World. His strength had surged dramatically, enough to earn him the position of divine son. Without that leap, he would never have reached this height.
However, now that he met Long Chen again, he realized that Long Chen was even more terrifying than before. This fellow was a real monster.
Just then, Jin Xingtian retracted his spiritual pressure and sneered in their direction.
“You actually invited a helper from the human race? It seems that the Fullmoon race has declined so much.”
His voice echoed through the air, enraging the experts of the Fullmoon race. Long Chen had only shown up coincidentally and had not been invited by Xu Changchuan.
Xu Changchuan did not bother explaining. He remained seated beside Long Chen as a disciple hurried over to pour them tea.
“Brother,” Xu Changchuan asked calmly, “is it really a coincidence that you came to the Qi Current Grand Ceremony? Or do you have another purpose?”
Long Chen had saved his life before. They had shared trials and danger together. With that bond between them, Xu Changchuan got straight to the point.
“I am here for the Tiger Venerate line,” Long Chen answered.
“Uh... as their friend, or as their foe?” Xu Changchuan stiffened.
“I suppose as their friend,” said Long Chen with a smile.
“Hahaha!” Xu Changchuan burst out laughing in relief.
His lack of restraint drew puzzled looks from those around him. This was hardly the bearing expected of a divine son.
“This is perfect!” Xu Changchuan clapped his hands, his earlier gloom vanishing completely.
Long Chen glanced at him. “Don’t tell me you’re hoping I’ll take a stand for you.”
Xu Changchuan chuckled. “I don’t know what you’re talking about! Back then, whether it was in the High Firmament Academy or within my race, you were always my leader. Now, you come for the Tiger Venerate line, while my Fullmoon race has always been their most loyal ally. Helping me is helping them! Besides, even if I didn’t ask, would you really sit by and watch me get bullied? That’s not your style.”
Long Chen cast a surprised glance his way. “Not bad. It wasn’t just your cultivation that improved in the Primal Chaos World. Even your boot-licking skill has reached a new level.”
Xu Changchuan had never been capable of talking like this before. That change alone caught Long Chen off guard.
“Hehe, it’s all thanks to my experience with Brother Guo Ran,” Xu Changchuan said cheerfully.
He could already feel a heavy burden vanishing from his shoulders.
“You are the divine son of the Fullmoon race. It’s not my place to interfere in your affairs,” declared Long Chen.
“The Fullmoon race has three divine sons, and I am the worst one...”
Xu Changchuan then told Long Chen how he had ended up here.
The truth was that the Fullmoon race had its own passageway into the Primal Chaos World. For countless years, it had remained dormant and unusable.
Back then, Long Chen had entered a channel within the Fullmoon race and opened a minor world of his own, the Linglong World. Yu Qingxuan had once wished to stay there with him—away from all the bloodshed. However, fate had other plans, forcing Long Chen to continue roaming the world.
When the Sovereign Emperor Heaven opened up to the rest of the world, the Fullmoon race’s spatial channel finally cracked open. Not long after, it activated fully, allowing the Fullmoon race to enter the Primal Chaos World. In fact, they were among the earliest races to arrive.
That passage led directly to the Fullmoon race’s ancestral land.
Xu Changchuan had thought he could finally settle down there, cultivate peacefully, and live without pressure. Instead, during the entry trials, he was specially selected and singled out.
What shocked him most was that an ancient elder personally took him as a disciple and immediately forced him into seclusion.
That seclusion was not training in the usual sense. The elder was transferring his entire life’s cultivation and comprehension into Xu Changchuan.
The elder cultivated an extremely rare cultivation technique that allowed him to pass on half his power to another. In the Tiger Venerate line’s final battle, he had been critically wounded. Devil qi had been infecting his body, leaving him with little time to live.
The elder had been bitterly hanging on to pass down his legacy to the most suitable heir.
As a result, he found Xu Changchuan. After passing down all his life’s learning to Xu Changchuan, the elder passed on.
Traditionally, the Fullmoon race had two divine sons each generation. Xu Changchuan’s sudden rise created a third.
The other two divine sons did not like him. After all, they had built up their power and foundations through solid work, while Xu Changchuan’s power came from inheritance.
The dislike between the divine sons gave the higher-ups a headache. Xu Changchuan simply did not have the power to win the other two over. In fact, he had pitifully few followers.
In the end, the elders decided to send him to represent the Fullmoon race in the Qi Current Grand Ceremony. It was both a test and an opportunity.
If he could complete this mission, he would gain more support. If he could not, then his position as a divine son would be in danger.
Hearing this story, Long Chen nodded slightly.
The Fullmoon race’s way of doing things wasn’t bad. What left him speechless was Xu Changchuan’s tone of grievance. This fellow was absurdly fortunate and didn’t even realize it.
Long Chen really wanted to tell this lucky guy what he had experienced in the Starry River Palace, but he didn’t feel like embarrassing the nine star line.
“I can sense some part of energy in your body that is hard to refine. I’ll make some pills for you. That should let your power rise a level,” said Long Chen.
Xu Changchuan was overjoyed. He knew exactly how terrifying Long Chen’s alchemy skills were and had no doubt in him at all.
His greatest problem was precisely that unrefined energy. As long as it remained, his essence rune would be incomplete.
Just as Long Chen was about to ask about the Tiger Venerate line, more powerful auras appeared.
“The Rock Crystal race’s divine son has arrived,” Xu Changchuan said, gazing in that direction bitterly.
