Chapter 6959 Three Strings Darken

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Flames raged around Yan Li. The Golden Crow runes lit up in his eyes, and wild power surged through him.

Long Chen patted Yan Lis shoulder and nodded.

Long Chen said, Not bad. Youre finally starting to look like a real expert. But your power boost is passive, so dont get too arrogant. The Golden Crow and Fusang Tree are strong, but can you control them well? Work hard to merge with their runes and master their magical arts and divine abilities. First comes control, then merging, and after that, self-creation. You still have a long way to go, so keep working hard!

Yan Li had absorbed part of the Dark Feather Blaze Devils core flame. After passing through Huo Lingers filter, it became incredibly pure.

The Fusang Tree and the Golden Crow both grew much stronger thanks to this energy, which made Yan Li stronger as well.

Now, Yan Li had enough power to protect himself. In the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture, he was nearly unmatched.

But Long Chen still didnt think it was enough. If Yan Li faced Li Wujiu from the Painting Sect now, he would still be crushed.

Boss, dont worry. Ill work hard! Yan Li promised.

He quickly moved aside, sat down, and started refining and getting used to the explosive power in his body.

Half a day later, Yue Xiaoqian moved so quickly through the air that her afterimages filled the sky. Long Chen watched her with a warm smile.

After a while, he told Yue Xiaoqian to take a short break and happily poured her a cup of wine. This wine from the Wine God Palace wasnt just tastyit also helped people recover their strength quickly.

Yue Xiaoqian smiled at Long Chen and drank it. After that, she glanced at Chi Yutong and whispered, Tell me the truth, were you tempted? If you wanted to

Stop messing around, Long Chen interjected softly, shaking his head.

Yue Xiaoqian was getting more and more naughty, teasing Long Chen while knowing he had no romantic feelings for Chi Yutong.

After Long Chen had entered the immortal realm, Bai Shishi was the only woman capable of touching his heart. He didn't even need to consciously restrain himself in this regard.

Hearing this, Yue Xiaoqian finished the wine and winked at Long Chen flirtatiously before running off.

Many thanks, big brother Long Chen. Im going to cultivate the Astral Heaven Blocking Shield! she shouted.

Long Chen chuckled. As he watched her form hand seals again and again, trying to create the Astral Heaven Blocking Shield, he let out a deep sigh.

Both he and Yue Xiaoqian treasured this chance to be together again. But everyone was focused on getting stronger, so they didnt even have time to chat peacefully.

Long Chen tried to connect with the star diagrams on his body. He studied their patterns and the way they circulated.

After all, carving the diagrams was only the first step; learning to use them was what really mattered.

The same move, when used with different diagrams, could unleash all kinds of destructive power. If the destructive force was about the same, Long Chen had to find the ones that used the least energy to save what little he had.

The millions of star diagrams on his body were like a huge treasure trove, but he would have to uncover their secrets little by little.

Time passed quickly. Three days went by in a flash, and then Chi Yutong, Zi Nuo, and the others all woke up.

Chi Yutongs aura was so vast that even Long Chen couldnt fully sense it. He knew this was thanks to her core flame, the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze.

The Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze was said to be able to draw power from heaven veinssomething mysterious and deeply connected to the world's qi flow. No one could truly describe them.

In short, Chi Yutong had become much stronger this time, almost to the point of being a monster.

From what Long Chen could tell, Chi Yutong was now strong enough to challenge Li Wujiu. Perhaps she wouldnt win, but it wouldnt be easy for Li Wujiu to defeat her either.

Her core flame had also grown stronger. While Yan Li still needed time to get used to his new power, Chi Yutong had no such problem. That was the scary thing about the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze.

Zi Nuo and the others, on the other hand, didnt seem to have changed at all. Their auras were completely hidden, and the blood-colored runes in their eyes were gone.

Instead, they now had a calm, free look, a sense of transcendence that made it seem as if nothing in the world could hold them back.

Brother Long, its all thanks to you, Zi Nuo said, walking up to Long Chen with his fellow disciples behind him.

None of them could hide their excitement and gratitude. They knew just how valuable this sword-intent was. Thanks to it, they had reached a mysterious new level.

While patting Zi Nuos shoulder, Long Chen said, Theres no need for brothers to thank each other.

After that, Long Chen called everyone over. Come on, there are all sorts of treasures here! See if theres anything you want! Lets split the loot!

The moment Xin Yu heard that, she rushed over and grabbed dozens of items she had been eyeing. When Long Chen saw what she picked, he almost cursed. A phoenix crown, sparrow hairpins, amethyst tassels, divine jadeite earrings

Even though these were considered Divine Sovereign law items, most were only middle or low grade. She was picking out accessories instead of useful weapons. Did she care more about looking good than being practical?

Chi Yutong and Yan Li didnt feel comfortable taking anything, while Zi Nuo kept refusing, saying he didnt want anything else.

Since they were being overly polite, Long Chen stepped in. He picked out a set of battle armor for Xin Yu, and even though she complained it was too ugly, he made her put a drop of blood on it.

This was a top-grade armor with minimal damage. Wearing it would definitely make her stronger. Even though Xin Yu had the Dark Feather Blaze Devil, she still needed some armor for protection. Long Chen told her she didnt have to wear it all the time, but she could summon it if she was in danger.

Long Chen chose a phoenix feather battle robe and a violet jade belt for Yue Xiaoqian. For Chi Yutong, he found a pair of flame-element bracelets and an ancient bell.

For Yan Li, he picked out a flame spear and another set of battle armor. This set was even stronger than the one he gave Xin Yu.

There was no helping it. This battle armor had demonic faces carved on the shoulders, elbows, and knees. It was really ugly, and Long Chen knew Xin Yu would never wear it.

Even though there was a huge pile of treasures here, including more than ten Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapons, the stronger weapons were badly damaged and basically useless. So there wasnt much left to choose from.

Since Zi Nuo and the others kept refusing, Long Chen didnt push them. He just took the rest of the treasures for himself and prepared to get out of this realm.

Lets go!

Long Chen activated the formation, bringing them out of the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm.

Not long after they had left, several furtive figures appeared.

Damn, he really did it! Report this immediately!

What is going on? The formation wont activate!

Impossible!

That bastard Long Chen definitely did this! We cant leave!

Furious curses rang throughout the Devil Suppressng Illusion Realm.

Meanwhile, the one they cursed appeared in a large palace. Zheng Wenlong was waiting for him.

Hahaha, congratulations Brother Long on taking care of business so quickly! Zheng Wenlong exclaimed.

Can you handle the aftermath? asked Long Chen.

Dont worry about it. I have locked down the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm. For the next three years, no one can leave or enter it, promised Zheng Wenlong.

Long Chen relaxed when he heard this. He handed all the treasures he had just collected to Zheng Wenlong to take care of.

At that exact moment, Long Chens arm trembled slightly. Three strings on the zither mark suddenly turned dark.

Zither Sect!

A fierce killing intent appeared in Long Chens eyes.
