Heaven's jealousy
When Long Chen returned to the Black Dragon Empire, the Emperor of the Empire, Qin Qing, as well as the various princes and high-ranking officials, all gathered at the Pill Pagoda.
The entire Black Dragon Empire was in an uproar. More and more people rushed toward the Pill Tower. They wanted to see this rare occasion.
"Who is this person? He actually made the Monarch and so many other princes come here personally. It's said that he wants everyone to wait for ten days!"
"Haven't you heard? This person reached third place on the Heaven Leaderboard in a single day and defeated the second place on the Heaven Leaderboard, Jian Shisan, with a single strike. He's the number one genius of the Black Dragon Empire!"
"That's not all. It's said that he's also a grandmaster-level alchemist from the Pill Tower. He can refine king-level pills. Pill Addict Liu Yiyi is his disciple …"
The sounds of discussion were endless. Long Chen's name had long since shaken the imperial capital.
Inside the Pill Tower.
The First Prince stared at Liu Cang Lan and the others and said in a low voice, "This Long Chen is too arrogant. My Imperial Father personally came to see him, and he actually wants us all to wait for ten days!"
"The Crown Prince is right. Although Long Chen's talent is not low, he is still a citizen of the Black Dragon Empire. How can he neglect the Emperor?" One of the officials echoed.
Liu Cang Lan said in a low voice, "Long Chen is a grandmaster alchemist of the Pill Tower. If you don't want to wait, you can leave …"
The Eldest Prince and the others were furious, but there was nothing they could do. Just as they were about to speak, Qin Qing waved his hand.
"There's no need to say more. Since he's going to practice in seclusion for ten days, I'll wait for him here for ten days. If you don't want to wait, you can leave …" Qin Qing said.
The First Prince's face was ashen, and the other Princes were also extremely puzzled. Although Long Chen's reputation had spread far and wide, for him to speak in such a Qin Qing manner was somewhat incomprehensible.
Of course, since Qin Qing was unwilling to leave, even the First Prince had to stand to the side and wait.
Liu Cang Lan couldn't help but smile when he saw the Black Dragon Empire's officials, princes, and even the current emperor standing in a group inside the Pill Tower, waiting for Long Chen to come out of seclusion.
…
Within the cultivation room, Long Chen was constantly being fed pills from the outside world, and he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
Eighteen dragon-elephant phantoms were undulating behind him. Streams of spirit energy were emitted from his body like rivers, interweaving into a huge whirlpool and finally converging above his dantian.
The eighteen Dragonesque Elephant phantoms dissipated one by one, and the spiritual energy around him became denser. The Sea of Qi in his Dantian gradually began to condense again!
Fifty-one thousand li!
Fifty-three thousand kilometers …
Time ticked by, and on the seventh day, the Black Dragon Empire's originally cloudless sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds!
Layers of black clouds spread out from the Pill Pagoda. The sky was still clear in the distance, but the sky above the Pill Pagoda was still as dark as ink.
Rumble!
In the Imperial Capital, countless people walked out of their rooms and looked at the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, making them tremble with fear.
"What's going on? The rainy season of the Black Dragon Empire will only arrive in half a year. Why are there dark clouds covering the sky today?"
"Look, the dark clouds are so strange. They are like layers of a whirlpool, and the center of the whirlpool seems to be where the Pill Pagoda is …"
Within the Pill Pagoda, Qin Qing and many other princes and officials were discussing spiritedly. They were shocked by the strange phenomenon in the sky, but they didn't know why.
The First Prince stood outside the Pill Pagoda and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. He asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Why did the sky suddenly change and gather at the Pill Pagoda? Could it be … because of him?"
"When there is a strange phenomenon in the sky, there must be a strange person! I'm afraid this person is not simple. The Elder specially asked the two of us to come from the five great sects to help you get rid of him. "
"Qin Feng, you'd better find an opportunity quickly. Otherwise, there might be changes …"
The two attendants behind Qin Feng directly called out his name and looked up at the sky in warning.
Qin Feng's brows furrowed tightly. He didn't think that his master would invite two disciples at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage to help him.
"Are the two of you really confident? This Long Chen displayed extremely powerful combat prowess in the past. Even Xie Jiushan, who was at the Soul Formation Final Stage, was no match for him. Now that he has made a breakthrough …"
He couldn't help but ask as he looked at the dark clouds in the sky.
One of them sneered and said in a cold voice, "If it weren't for the fact that the Elder wants to push you to the throne of the Black Dragon Empire, I would be able to get rid of this person right now. The two of us can fight a Return to Void Stage cultivator together!"
After hearing their words, Qin Feng nodded slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a soldier flying toward the Pill Pagoda. The soldier rushed into the interior and knelt before Qin Qing.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Prince Beside the Emperor of the Great Qian Empire has led a hundred thousand elite soldiers into the territory of the Black Dragon Empire!" Everyone was shocked after hearing the soldier's words.
The Great Qian Empire was the neighbor of the Black Dragon Empire and was the leader of all the countries. There were constant conflicts with the Black Dragon Empire. However, their arrival today made everyone feel uneasy.
"Could it be that the rumors are true? Is the Black Widow really the adopted daughter of the Prince Beside the Emperor? But isn't his way of doing things a little too crazy?! "A general in armor shouted.
Even Qin Qing's face darkened. He said, "The Heaven Roll Challenge doesn't involve life and death. The Great Qian Empire wants to break the rules and ignore the agreement between all the countries!"
The messenger soldier trembled for a moment before continuing, "It's … It's said that the Prince Beside the Emperor said that when Long Chen left the Great Qian Empire, he wanted to assassinate him and killed more than ten of his generals. The corpses of those generals have been brought over."
The Crown Prince said to Qin Qing, "Father, the Great Qian Empire's national strength is several times that of our Black Dragon Empire. The Prince Beside the Emperor and his brother each own half of the country. It's unwise to start a feud now."
"Big brother, what do you mean? Could it be that you want Father to hand over the number three genius of the Black Dragon Empire's Heaven Roll? If that's the case, where will the dignity of our Black Dragon Empire be! "The Third Prince shouted.
Not far behind the Crown Prince, Ou Yezi sneered. "Could it be that the Third Prince wants to start a war with the Great Qian Empire for this guy?"
"Enough! Stop quarreling … Long Chen will come out in three days. Let's wait until he comes out and understands the whole story. The Path of Immortal Ascension is about to open. The Prince Beside the Emperor definitely won't dare to start a war. There's no need to care about him. "Qin Qing shouted.
His gaze was fixed on the secret room where Long Chen was.
The sun rose and set. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the weather changed. Dark clouds covered the sky for thousands of miles in the Black Dragon Empire. Thunder roared incessantly and heavy rain poured down.
Rumble!
A loud explosion came from the secret room. The entire Pill Pagoda shook violently. Countless people's faces changed.
Rumble … Rumble!
Lightning filled the sky and struck down from the nine heavens. Their target was the Pill Pagoda.
Long Chen came out of his seclusion.
The heavy rain and the lightning were like blades. It was as if they had eyes. They all attacked Long Chen in the Pill Pagoda. Wherever they passed, all living things were exterminated and buildings collapsed.
