Bizarre seal

Chapter 19 - Bizarre Seal

"Vast Dragon Seal ..."

Sitting on the bed in his own room,

Long Chen read the Dragon Seal

front to back tens of times. He

finally placed the Dragon Seal at the

edge of the bed after feeling sleepy.

"Not many members of the Yang

family cultivate it since it's an

advanced martial technique. Based

on the age of the parchment, this

should be the original copy. My

father said it contains the secret to

becoming the Dragon Warrior. But

Long Chen lay down and stared at

the window.

"What kind of rubbish is this? lsn't it

just a few pieces of parchment?

What kind of secret could it

contain? Even if it does contain the

secret, so many people from the

Yang family have read it that it

wouldn't be a secret any longer ...

Long Chen was depressed.

"Hold up!" Long Chen suddenly sat

up excitedly.

"The Yang family must not have

discovered the secret because it's

too hard to find it! Since my father

told me to get it at all costs, I

should be able to find it if I put in a

bit more effort!"

He picked up the Dragon Seal once

again and read the elegantly written

sentences. He read each word and

even examined the corners of the

pages carefully but he discovered

nothing.

"I am already at the Fifth Draconic

Stage, but since I have the

Complete Constellation Body, an

ordinary Sixth Draconic Stage

cultivator would be no match for

me. With the Dragon Seal, my

combat capabilities would

drastically improve. Sadly, the

Constellation Body is only an

intermediate Yellow-tier martial

technique. I won't have any

advantages if I were to encounter a

cultivator at the Seventh Draconic

Stage and above ..."

"The Demon Hunting Tournament is

starting soon. Since Bai Shiji hates

me to his core, I won't be able to

Survive, much less make a name for

myself if I don't find a solution

SOon."

Thinking about Bai Shiji and the

others who were already at the

Seventh Draconic Stage, Long

Chen's brows furrowed.

He knew the limits of his own

strength. He might be able to win

against a Sixth Draconic Stage

cultivator easily, but it vwould be

hopeless if he encountered a

Seventh Draconic Stage cultivator.

The Draconic Realm was divided

into nine stages. The first six stages

focused on breaking through the

dragon veins known as small dragon

veins. These veins weren't very thick

or long, so there was a limited

amount of Qi a cultivator could

utilize.

However, there was a large gap

between the Sixth and Seventh

Draconic Stages. To attain the

Seventh Draconic Stage and higher,

a cultivator was required to break

through the Human Dragon Vein,

Earthly Dragon Vein, and Heavenly

Dragon Vein.

Each one was at least twice as thick

and twice as long as a small dragon

vein. The Heavenly Dragon Vein was

the longest vein of the three-it was

as long as the other eight dragon

veins combined, and it coiled

throughout the body of the

cultivator.

Long Chen knew that the higher he

rose in the Draconic Realm, the

harder it would be to cultivate and

break through. This was the reason

why so few people attained the

Ninth Draconic Stage!

The biggest difference between

Long Chen and Bai Shiji, who was at

the Seventh Draconic Stage, was the

Human Dragon Vein. To break

through it, he would require at least

ten times the amount of Qi of a

Sixth Draconic Stage cultivator. This

was why Bai Shiji's Qi was at least

twenty to thirty times more

powerful than Long Chen's.

"But ..."

Long Chen's eyes were cold as he

thought about something. Since Bai

Shiji is Bai Zhanxiong's son, I have to

be stronger than him! I need to let

that woman know which is the truly

useless one!

He still felt a heavy pressure. He still

had no idea how to decipher the

secret of the Dragon Seal. If he let

ten days pass like this, his entire life

might go to waste too!

"What is a Dragon Warrior? My

father said that it is a long-lost

legend? I've only heard of Beast

Warriors and Armament Warriors,

but I've never heard of a Dragon

Warrior ..."

"Still, my father and Ling Xi did say

that the vast land we are on is

called the Dragon Continent. Also

the legends say that humans are

the descendants of the all-powerful

Primordial Dragons. The Dragon

Warrior must be related to the

dragons of the legends!"

After Ling Xi defended him during

the Family Meeting, her energy was

so spent that she hadn't awakened

in three days. Long Chen was

extremely worried. She didn't die

from that, right? She must have

used up so much of her energy.

Since she has saved me twice, she's

my benefactor. I've already told her

that I would protect her, so no

matter what happens I must not let

her use her power again!

He looked at the Dragon Seal in his

hand.

Father wanted me to obtain this

martial technique but did not tell

me the method to unravel its

secret. Looks like I have to work

really hard. It wNould be better if Ling

Xi were here. Her true identity is

quite mysterious but she probably

belonged to a very powerful faction.

That would explain why she knows

So much about the world. With her

knowledge, she can probably help

me unravel the secret.

Long Chen sighed and lay on the

bed, covering his face with the

Dragon Seal.

"What the ... ?"

Long Chen realized that when he

placed the Dragon Seal on his face,

the mysterious Dragon Jade

Pendant in his sea of consciousness

that was usually silent trembled for

a moment. But it soon stopped.

Just then, a soft, frail voice said in

his ear, "There seems to be a seal

on the book ... "

It was none other than Ling Xi, who

had transformed into a stud on

Long Chen's earlobe. Even though

her voice was soft, Long Chen could

still hear her clearly.

Long Chen's anxiety lessened. But

when he heard how soft her voice

was, he knew that she hadn't

recovered. "Xiao Xi, hoW are you

feeling? I shouldn't have acted so

rashly. I swear that these incidents

like that will not happen again.

Every time you defend me, you

becomne so much weaker .."

"It's fine ..." Ling Xi interjected.

Long Chen was touched. Still, he

clenched his teeth as he said, "What

do you mean that it's fine? Don't

butt in next time. If my rashness

causes my death, then so be it! But

if you die because of me, I will feel

guilty throughout my life. I would

rather die!

"Now tell me what is going on."

Ling Xi's voice became softer as she

sensed his anger. "My physical body

is already gone and everything is

dark around me. My spiritual energy

is maintaining my Divine Will, but

since spiritual power does not

regenerate, the more I use it, the

less I have left. When I panicked and

flew a long distance using the Ling

Xi Sword last time, I used up a large

portion of my spiritual energy. After

using my powers twice and not

having any herbs that replenish my

Divine Soul, I'm afraid that l'm ..."

Long Chen felt as if the sky were

falling on him and shouted, "Why

didn't you say SO SOoner?"

Ling Xi felt wronged and sobbed.

"Why are you being so fierce? I just

woke up, and if I hadn't stepped in

last time, you vwould be dead. I

wouldn't even have the chance to

tell yu ..."

Long Chen calmed himself down

and remained silent for quite some

time. "Xiao Xi, thank you, but as a

man, I cannot let you risk your life

for me. Nor will T let you encounter

the same situation again. You said

that you need herbs tO recover your

Divine Soul. I will go find some for

you now!"

Ling Xi had almost died from saving

him. Even though Long Chen could

not express how touched he was, in

his heart he already recognized Ling

Xi as someone he would risk his life

for.

Long Chen put the Dragon Seal in

his shirt and walked out. He wasn't

familiar with the herbs used by

cultivators, and he was only familiar

with one person in the Yang family:

Yang Lingqing. He decided to look

for her.

"Herbs that nourish the Divine Soul

are quite rare. They are usually

expensive too. Long Chen, have I

become a burden to you?"

"What kind of rubbish are you

spewing?! You saved my life. I'm just

thinking of saving you, so how could

you call yourself a burden? Did

water enter your head or

something?"

Even though his tone was fierce, the

way he spoke showed her that he

cared for her a lot. AS she looked at

the determined youth, many

thoughts passed through Ling Xi's

mind. Her predicament slowly

changed her from a naive girl to

Someone more mature.

"Wait, you said there is a seal on

the Dragon Seal? Can you decipher

it?"

Because of Ling Xi's current

condition, he had almost forgotten

about this. Now that he

remembered, his face was filled

with anticipation.

"l don't have enough spiritual

energy left to decipher the seal. IfI

have some herbs to nourish my

Divine Soul, I might be able to give

it a try."

Long Chen was ecstatic! "Ling Xi you

are amazing! If only you had a body.

I would kiss yOu as a reward!"

Long Chen laughed after saying

that.

"Hmph! Dream on! You're not

Worthy! But since you need me to

decipher the seal, I need a lot of

herbs. I'm quite a glutton. If you

need my help, you'd better prepare

a lot of herbs!"

"Fine, fine, you herb hogger."

After they joked around, the

atmosphere was not as heavy as it

had been. HowWever, Long Chen

knew that after today, his burden

had increased.

Not only did he have to become

stronger, he needed to earn more

money to buy the herbs that

nourished the Divine Soul and kept

Ling Xi's alive.

Baiyang Town is such a small place.

Will it really have herbs that nourish

the Divine Soul?

Long Chen was worried.

As he walked into the courtyard of

the Yang family, he ran into some

guards and servants. They forced

smiles on their faces, but that was

worse than if they cried.

Long Chen's performance at the

Family Meeting had secured him an

excellent standing within the Yang

family. Additionally, his strength and

brutal personality had caused those

in the lower ranks to fear him. No

one dared to be rude to him

anymore. It would be suicidal!

In a corner, Yang Wu saw the guards

bowing to Long Chen. Yang Wu's

eyes darkened.

This slave took away what was

supposed to be Yang Lingyue's

prize. Long Chen knew that Yang Wu was

staring at him but he couldn't be

bothered to care.

If anyone bullied his sister, Long

Chen vwould've killed them. This was

why he was well aware of the

thoughts running through Yang Wu's

mind.

"Xiao Xi, do you see that guy staring

at me with resentment?"

"| do, but it doesn't seem like

resentment."

"You don't know the truth. He's

actually a p*****t who has fallen in

love with me. Unfortunately,

because we are both guys, he can't

say it out loud. But I know the

feelings he has for me are real ..."

"Ew, gross. I'm going to vomit!"
