C2 Long chen

With all of his strength, Yang Chen was finally able to move Long Qinglan and let him lean back against the tree trunk.

"This old man is simply faking his death!"

After observing for a while, Yang Chen realized that Long Qinglan was completely fine. Yang was so depressed that he wanted to punch his father a few times.

Long Qinglan glared at him and said, "Don't think that I have come back to life. Now I am waking up here only for telling you a few things. Listen up, if you forget finishing any of them, I, even as a ghost, will make you die without descendants."

Yang Chen rolled his eyes. He hadn’t heard this fellow speak before, but unexpectedly, his father’s words would have the same style as his, which might be a kind of inheritance.

"Alright, I know that you're fine, dad. Since you looked normal today, if you have a fart, then hurry up and let it out."

Long Qinglan laughed heartily and said, "I've seen you several times before. You little bastard, as expected, have the same style as the young me. Then, I'll just cut to the chase. After I die, the first thing you will do is to take out the dragon jade pendant from my Dantian."

When he mentioned the Dragon Jade once again, Yang Chen was startled, and said, "Dad, do you take me for an idiot? If there's a piece of jade in your dantian, how can you live well for so long? "

"Bullshit! Am I considered to be in good shape? Eighteen years ago, I came to this Aspen Town alone. In your mother’s generation, there was no one that was my match. Otherwise, why would a beauty like your mother be tricked into bed by me? But, just from getting this Dragon Jade, my Genuine Qi of the Eighth Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage had been completely sucked dry within half a year. From then on, I ended up as a piece of trash! "

So, there was actually such a story. Yang Chen really didn't know about it. Speaking so emotionally, the old man was probably not lying. But what kind of Dragon Jade could make someone lose their Genuine Qi?

And more importantly, was this old fellow once a super expert at the Eighth Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage? He was able to achieve such a feat in his youth. What did that mean and reveal?

Legend had it that the Human Clan possessed the blood of the Ancient Divine Dragon, and as a result, the nine great blood vessels throughout the body of a person were called dragon meridians. When the body was tempered to the extreme, one could sense heaven and earth, and devour vitality. He could generate Genuine Qi, transform Genuine Qi into dragon, and broke through the nine great dragon meridians so that he could become a supreme expert. Therefore, there were nine levels of Dragon Meridian Stage.

From what Yang Chen knew, one of the few strongest people in Aspen Town, his grandfather, known as a peerless expert, was just at the Ninth Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage.

Ignoring Yang Chen's suspicious expression, Long Qinglan continued to speak seriously, "I have explained the first thing clearly. The second thing is … Changing your surname. From today onwards, your name will be Long Chen. Our Long Family is the supreme overlord of this world. The descendant of Long Family couldn’t use another family’s surname.”

"The supreme overlord? It's fine to trick children, but don't try to coax me … All right, I'll just take the surname Long. "

Yang Chen was startled because he never thought that this old guy would make such a joke, but he had long wished to give up the surname “Yang”. Although his father was not a talented person, but his surname Long was still acceptable.

Long Chen. This was his new name.

He repeated it to himself a few times, and it felt good. Seeing the knowing smile on the old guy’s face, Long Chen suddenly felt that he was really happy today.

He sat down beside Long Qinglan and they leaned against each other on shoulders.

You're my son, so it's not too bad to call you Chen Er. In my life, I had been extremely powerful, moving unhindered through Longji Continent, but I never expected myself to die in a shitty place like Aspen Town. The journey of life really astonished me.”

"Is your brain broken today? I am well aware of all the terrible things you have done in your life. Stop boasting in front of me! Oh yeah, let's not go back to Yang Family. With my abilities, it shouldn't be hard for me to find a place to raise a drunkard like you. What do you think? "

As Long Chen spoke, he looked at the flowers, plants and trees in the distance, waiting for his father's reply. But after a long while without any sound, he was stunned, and immediately turned his head, only to see Long Qinglan looking at him with teary eyes, not moving at all.

"Old guy, why are you …"

Even being watched by a man with teary eyes like this, Long Chen didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Despite he always had a dirty mouth, the man in front of him was actually his father.

"Chen Er..."

"...Right."

Long Qinglan raised his head and said, "I am not a good father, and do not take the slightest bit of responsibilities as a father, so I let you walk on the wrong path. There are many things, things you need to face in the future. But now I will not tell you about that, because if you have that cultivation, you can understand everything by yourself naturally.”

"And the last thing I want to tell you in my life, you better wash your ears and listen clearly, is: in this cruel world, your strength is everything. A man without strength is equal to a dog!"

"After my death, I hope that becoming strong is your lifelong goal, because this was also what I pursued in the past. It's just that my fate played a joke on me …"

Suddenly hearing such serious instructions, Long Chen was stunned.

Long Qinglan slapped his head, placed his hand on his shoulder, and laughed, "I have said everything I need to say, and finally, I will entrust you with one last thing. In Yang Family, there will be a Great Clan Assembly for the young generation's disciples, and the final champion will be able to obtain the Secret Sculpture of the highest level in Yang Family, "Dragon Seal". This" Dragon Seal "is the key for you to become a Dragon Martial Cultivator, so no matter how, you must obtain it. Remember this well …"

Long Chen had indeed heard of the Great Clan Assembly before, but this did not have anything to do with him.

"It's okay for me to defeat a few local ruffians with my strength, but if I participate in the Great Clan Assembly, I will surely disgrace you. Also, old man, what kind of thing is this Dragon Martial Cultivator that you're talking about?"

"Dragon Martial Cultivator... is from a kind of legend that has disappeared from Longji Continent for a long time … "

After saying these words, a smile hung on Long Qinglan's face, and his eyes were filled with yearning. However, his hand that was leaning on Long Chen's shoulder drooped down softly and he didn't make a sound anymore.

Just as Long Chen wanted to ask what Longji Continent was, he saw Long Qinglan's arms hang down powerlessly. He panicked and quickly supported Long Qinglan.

Although his eyes were still open and his face was still smiling, Long Chen realized that he had lost all signs of life. This time, he actually died.

Long Chen's mind was in a mess.

If Long Qinglan had died one day ago, he could accept it, but when he wished to carry this old man into the distance and live a carefree and happy life, he was left behind …

Long Chen painfully lowered his head.

" Listen up, if you forget finishing any of them, I, even as a ghost, will make you die without descendants.."

"I'm not a good father, and do not take the slightest bit of responsibilities as a father."

"In this cruel world, your strength is everything. A man without strength is equal to a dog!"

"After my death, I hope that becoming strong is your lifelong goal."

His words echoed in his ears again and again.

Long Chen had never expected that he would actually experience such a painful permanent parting one day. He had originally thought that he had lost his heart and emotion, but now, where did this heart-wrenching feeling come from?

Until late at night, when he was sure that this man would never wake up again, Long Chen finally decided to bury him.

Looking at the withered face of the person in the grave, Long Chen quietly clenched his fists.

"Dad, I remember everything you said clearly and will do as you say. Even if I am crippled for the rest of my life, I will do it for you. I have already changed my surname, but I have to take the matter of “Dragon Seal” steadily. Becoming stronger is not something that can be accomplished in a day. And …"

He thought about what Long Qinglan had said about digging out the Dragon Jade in his dantian.

"He's already dead. If I were to destroy his corpse, it would be a heinous crime …"

When he thought of this, he wanted to give up, but then he thought of something.

"No, that's not right. The old guy said that the Dragon Jade was tormenting him. Furthermore, he repeatedly instructed it, so there must be some sort of secret."

Long Chen was not an irresolute person. Thinking about this, he took out his dagger, looked at Long Qinglan, took a deep breath, and cut open his Dantian.

Sure enough, there was a black jade pendant inside.

Long Chen placed the jade pendant on the ground. After resting Long Qinglan's body, he covered it with dirt and placed a tombstone on top. After knelling three times and kowtowing nine times, he sat down on the side and looked at the bizarre jade pendant in his hands.

This was the mysterious Dragon Jade that Long Qinglan had mentioned before.

"It was you that drained all of his Genuine Qi and ruined his entire life?"

The mysterious Dragon Jade was just a dragon-shaped jade pendant with some strange patterns. It was completely black; the material was very ordinary. It even seemed to be a little old. Long Chen really couldn't figure out why this thing would torture Long Qinglan for a lifetime.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the moonlight was shining down. The fog gradually permeated the forest and the mysterious Dragon Jade in Long Chen's hands started to shine with a misty light. Long Chen lost in thought for a while and then found the Dragon Jade in his hand disappeared.

"What's going on?"

Before he could react, Long Chen felt a loud bang sound from within his mind. His consciousness actually appeared inside a grey and hazy fog, which was constantly roiling, and the whooshing sound of the wind continued to surge. Long Chen couldn't tell his left from right and could only look around in shock.

"This is exactly the same as the Sea of Consciousness described in the books. The Sea of Consciousness is where the soul is hiding, and only when one becomes a martial cultivator and opens his or her Eye of Heart can he or she see the sea. What's going on with me?"

Shocked in heart, Long Chen kept running in the Sea of Consciousness. However, he felt that he would never be able to escape from this boundless fog no matter how. And at this moment, Long Chen finally saw an ancient, pitch-black, dragon-shaped jade pendant that was floating in front of him, emitting a faint light.

Opening his eyes, Long Chen were filled with surprise and bewilderment.

"This mysterious Dragon Jade has entered my sea of consciousness. Could it be that it wants to absorb my Genuine Qi?"

Long Chen was shocked.

"No, I don't have any Genuine Qi at all. What could it absorb from me?"

At this moment, a vigorous energy surged out from the mysterious Dragon Jade, crossed the boundary between body and soul, and appeared in Long Chen's dantian.

This vigorous heat made Long Chen's entire body feel comfortable.

"Genuine Qi?"
