Chapter 6795 Collecting Rent
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Long Chen raised the Tiger Venerate Scepter. It resonated with the altar, sending its energy flowing into the stone. Golden divine light spread, pooling across the ground as buildings started to rise from the earth.
Golden palaces, palisades, promenades, and rock gardens emerged—all shaped from runes.
As moments passed, the runes solidified, forming true structures.
This unassuming altar possessed a world-shaking power.
The devastated ancestral land of the White Tiger race healed at astonishing speed. Even scars left by Long Chen’s battles faded away.
Within the time it took an incense stick to burn, a majestic golden city emerged. Long Chen would not have believed it, had he not seen it himself.
Long Chen felt a mysterious energy well up from the ground. He guessed this was the same power the Tiger Venerate once wielded. After all, this place was where the Tiger Venerate had corroborated his Dao, a place of extraordinary significance.
As the buildings rose, the altar vanished. Long Chen realized the Divine Tiger Altar was the core of this golden fortress.
It was a mobile divine weapon, bound to the Tiger Venerate Scepter. Years of war had drained its energy, forcing the fortress into hibernation.
Now, as the Tiger Venerate Scepter regained power, the golden city returned to its former glory.
The Tiger Venerate line’s experts shouted excitedly. This golden city was the stuff of legend, known only from ancient records. Many had doubted it ever truly existed.
The golden city’s return was an indescribable boost to their morale.
The Tiger Venerate Scepter was recovering, and the golden city stood tall. Countless experts gathered, their strength at its peak. The glorious Tiger Venerate line had truly returned.
As they celebrated, all eyes turned skyward, toward the figure holding the Tiger Venerate Scepter. They knew who they owed this resurgence to.
At this moment, seven star diagrams slowly branded themselves onto the right side of Long Chen’s starry sea within his Dantian.
These seven star diagrams formed a giant White Tiger, each of them pulsing with a ferocious murderous qi.
Behind them were the Ox and Dipper constellations. They seemed alone in comparison.
Long Chen vanished into the void.
“Ah, I see. The Fullmoon race was originally part of the Black Tortoise line. That’s why they worshiped the Ox and Dipper constellations!” Long Chen exclaimed after verifying it with Bai Yujing.
The Dragon Sovereign, Sparrow Ancestor, Tiger Venerate, and Tortoise Saint had their own constellations—said to be their destined totems.1
The Dragon Sovereign’s seven constellations lay in the east: Horn, Neck, Root, Room, Heart, Tail, and Winnowing Basket.
The Sparrow Ancestor’s seven constellations were to the south: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Extended Net, Wings, and Chariot.
The Tiger Venerate’s seven constellations ruled the west: Legs, Bond, Stomach, Hair Head, Net, Turtle Beak, and Three Stars. That was why Bai Yujing had spoken their names aloud earlier.
The Tortoise Saint watched over the seven constellations of the north: Dipper, Ox, Girl, Emptiness, Rooftop, Encampment, and Wall.
During the Qi Current Grand Ceremony, Long Chen had branded the Ox and Dipper constellations. Sensing immense power within them, he had hoped to study them further.
He hadn’t expected to acquire the complete set of the Tiger Venerate’s seven western constellations here.
Bai Yujing explained that the Fullmoon race had originally followed the Tortoise Saint line. When the Tiger Venerate line was weakened by war, the Tortoise Saint line sent some followers to aid them. But afterward, the Tortoise Saint line vanished without a trace. After a while, the Fullmoon race lost the techniques to maintain their constellations, leaving them in an awkward predicament that day.
It wasn’t just the Tortoise Saint line. The White Tiger race, too, declined after the Tiger Venerate disappeared. They lost the ability to communicate with the seven western constellations.
Thus, not many elders even remembered the White Tiger race’s seven constellations. As for the younger generation, they knew nothing of them.
“Doesn’t that mean the Tortoise Saint line is also in trouble?” Long Chen asked.
Bai Yujing nodded. “I believe so. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have disappeared on us back then. We’re worried for them. Long Chen, our Tiger Venerate line finally has the power to protect ourselves. The golden city has returned, our disciples have grown stronger, and the Tiger Venerate Scepter thrives on our energy. I plan to send people to search for the Tortoise Saint line. If they need help, we must repay them a hundredfold.”
Although Bai Yujing was the race leader, she sought Long Chen’s approval on important matters. He had indeed declined the title of Tiger Venerate, but in her eyes, he was their true leader.
“That’s a good idea. After all, they helped us before. Now that we’re stronger, we should repay them. I don’t like owing favors,” Long Chen replied.
Bai Yujing smiled in relief. In truth, she had been worried Long Chen would see her decision as reckless since they had just recovered from the brink of ruin.
“Let all disciples know, I’ll give them a chance to transform completely over the next seven days. Have them prepare,” Long Chen ordered.
Within the golden city’s grand plaza, the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree soared skyward, its divine light bathing the plaza below.
Today, countless disciples had gathered here. News of Long Chen’s promise to grant them transformation filled them with excitement.
In the previous battle, they had witnessed what it meant to be a true expert. Each one longed to follow his footsteps.
Having been unconscious, the Tiger Venerate line’s disciples regretted missing Long Chen’s display of power. They had missed a battle for the ages.
Before they got a chance to see this peerless hero, a cruel battlefield came to greet them.
They were cut down before they even understood what happened.
Screams echoed across the plaza—they believed they had truly died.
The Fullmoon race displayed their power, trying to create a safe zone within this land of death. But even with their previous experience, they failed. The Seven Treasure Space had changed; even its first level now teemed with far more powerful enemies.
Without anyone being the wiser, the Seven Treasure Space had grown even more terrifying.
The creatures inside had broken through some limits. Even when the Fullmoon race’s experts went all-out, they couldn’t create a safe zone on this battlefield.
On the first level, they saw familiar faces—some slain divine sons from past battles.
“Divine sons on the first level?!” Xu Changchuan exclaimed, shocked by this.
The Seven Treasure Space had its own laws. The creatures here were not sorted by cultivation or talent, but by killing power. Some, despite high cultivation or talent, had weak combat power and thus fell to the first, weakest level.
Xu Changchuan quickly realized they couldn’t continue like this. He rallied the Tiger Venerate line’s greatest geniuses and charged toward a single location.
The Tiger Venerate line’s experts quickly adapted to the rules, gathering around Xu Changchuan. Gradually, they got the hang of this trial.
The Tiger Venerate line showed combat power befitting their title as the emperor race. After all, they inherited both the Tiger Venerate’s bloodline and will.
Centuries of battle had carved battle instincts deep into their souls. Soon, they launched a ferocious counterattack.
The Fullmoon race’s experts watched in awe. The White Tiger race truly lived up to their fame.
The Fullmoon race owed their strength to previous training in the Seven Treasure Space. The White Tiger race, however, adapted with startling speed.
Surrounded by countless enemies, they showed no fear and fought with everything they had. The Fullmoon race’s disciples had died countless times to forge their will, but the White Tiger race seemed born with it.
“This is a good chance to temper your will and perception! Brothers, charge!”
The Tiger Venerate experts quickly saw the value of this space.
Such a trial was heaven-defying. They faced death again and again, but never truly died.
Divine light swept over the plaza. Some people died repeatedly, only to charge back in without hesitation.
To them, this was not a trial. It was kill or be killed. No other outcome existed.
As the disciples fought with reckless abandon, their auras transformed. The elders watched, delighted by the change.
“Race Leader, what is going on? Should we take a look inside?” an acquired Divine Sovereign asked.
“Long Chen hasn’t told me about it,” Bai Yujing replied, shaking her head.
She was also very curious, but she restrained herself.
Li Wangshu explained, “Reporting to the Race Leader, inside is a murderous battleground. We were blessed by Senior Long Chen and experienced it before. However, the enemies there proved too ferocious for us. We were killed repeatedly—our souls nearly broken.
“Afterward, Senior Long Chen forbade us from entering again, to protect us. According to him, the young disciples need this rough training to sharpen themselves, but we elders have been tempered to our limit, and that any further grinding would break us to pieces.”
This explanation piqued everyone’s curiosity—they all wanted to see inside for themselves.
As everyone fought in the Seven Treasure Space, Long Chen suddenly appeared amongst them.
“Senior Long Chen!” Everyone shouted excitedly.
Long Chen nodded and then looked at the entrance to the next level.
“She’s been living here for a long time. Time to collect some rent!”
1. In the Chinese constellation system, the sky is split into four regions represented by the Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird. Each one has seven constellations.
