Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 439: Out of the Pass!

Lei Yujing looked at Long Chen and smiled. "I didn’t expect you to broaden my horizons again today. I was right about you. In the time remaining, you should focus on your cultivation. The Domain Alliance Competition will have many powerful participants."

"Yes, I understand."

Long Chen nodded. Then, as if remembering something, he turned to Lei Yujing. "Third Elder, I’ve been looking for something ever since I joined the Sect, but I still haven’t found any clues. I was hoping I could trouble you to help me."

Lei Yujing’s curiosity was piqued. "What is it?"

Long Chen opened his palm, taking a fragment from his Storage Ring. "This."

When Lei Yujing saw the fragment, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes. The thing this guy is looking for is truly extraordinary!

She looked at Long Chen and asked, "Where did you get this?"

"I got this fragment at an auction. The seller told me it originally came from our Sect."

Hearing this, Lei Yujing grew even more curious. "This Guiyuan Treasure Technique is a treasure of the Guiyuan Academy. How could it have appeared in our Jinglei Sect?"

"You know about the Guiyuan Treasure Technique?" Long Chen was surprised. He had only shown her the fragment without mentioning its name, yet she had recognized it as part of the Guiyuan Treasure Technique at a glance.

"I have some understanding of it," she said. "Back then, the Guiyuan Academy rose to the rank of a great sect in the God-Devil Domain, all thanks to this Mystical Skill. It’s a pity that for some reason, the technique became incomplete as it was passed down. The side effects of cultivating the fragmented version were severe, so gradually, no one practiced it anymore."

"Because of this, the Guiyuan Academy’s status in the God-Devil Domain fell lower and lower, until finally..."

She stopped, noticing that Long Chen’s expression had changed. A deep killing intent emanated from his eyes. She had already investigated his background and knew that by bringing up the Guiyuan Academy, she was touching a sore spot.

With an apologetic tone, she said, "My apologies. I shouldn’t have brought this up."

"It’s alright." Long Chen regained his composure. "It’s a well-known story, so there’s no reason it can’t be discussed. Completing the Guiyuan Treasure Technique was a wish of Senior Feng’s, and I must fulfill it."

He paused, his voice turning cold. "As for the forces that moved against the Guiyuan Academy... I won’t let a single one of them go. When the time comes, they will pay the price!"

"I understand your eagerness for revenge," Lei Yujing said, "but do you really intend to take on those powers by yourself?"

Long Chen gave a faint smile. "Unless... the Sect is willing to help me?"

Upon hearing that, Lei Yujing felt as if she had just dug a pit for herself and jumped right in. She said thoughtfully, "You know the Sect can’t possibly offend so many powers for one person. However, if you make contributions great enough, your problems will become the Sect’s problems. Then, the Sect will act on your behalf."

Long Chen just smiled and waved his hand. "Forget it. This is my personal affair. There’s no need to trouble the Sect. I’ll collect this blood debt myself!"

At his words, Long Chen’s gaze became incredibly determined. Standing beside him, Lei Yujing was momentarily stunned by his sheer force of will. She found it hard to imagine someone so young possessing such an imposing aura. Given time, when he truly matured, he would surely have the bearing of a Great Emperor!

"I’ve arranged a cultivation spot for you," she said, her voice softening. "For now, you just need to focus on your training there. As for what you’re looking for, if I find any clues within the Sect, I will let you know."

"Thank you for your trouble, Third Elder."

Long Chen smiled faintly and cupped his hands in farewell.

「Meanwhile, in a corner」

Lei Changshan’s eyes narrowed slightly, having taken in the entire exchange. When he saw Long Chen produce the fragment of the Guiyuan Treasure Technique, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He murmured to himself, "Clever boy. To think this would fall into your hands after I’ve been searching for so long. It seems fate is on my side. After all this time, it has circled back to me. Interesting! Truly interesting!"

「In the following month」

The Dragon Gate formally took over the Medicine Pavilion, and its operations within the Jinglei Sect were now fully on track. Long Chen’s reputation spread throughout the entire sect, and stories of his exploits since joining were frequently told.

Long Chen, however, was in secluded cultivation, preparing for the Domain Alliance Competition. He was eager to find out just how formidable the Heaven’s Chosen from the various sects in the God-Devil Domain truly were.

When Long Chen finally emerged from his seclusion, his Realm had advanced from the War King Realm Second Layer to the War King Realm Fifth Layer. The Coiling Dragon Seal had also progressed from the Fourth Stage to the Fifth Rank. After just one month, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds.

Just as he stepped out of the stone cave, a figure appeared beside him. It was Lei Yujing.

Upon seeing Long Chen, she sensed that his aura had strengthened considerably, which pleased her greatly. "Not bad at all!" she exclaimed. "It seems your Realm has improved quite a bit this month."

Long Chen smiled and cupped his hands. "This is all thanks to you, Third Elder, for finding me a place with such abundant Spiritual Energy. The Miraculous Elixirs and Medicines you gave me also helped my cultivation immensely."

"Enough with the pleasantries," Lei Yujing said. "As long as you achieve a good ranking in the Domain Alliance Competition, everything I’ve done will be worth it. Just don’t disappoint me."

Long Chen gave a wry smile. The Third Elder was so fixated on the Domain Alliance Competition, bringing it up constantly as if she feared he would slack off.

"Alright, I understand," he affirmed. "You’ve placed so much trust in me; I won’t let you down."

"With your word, I feel a bit more at ease." Lei Yujing nodded. "The sect’s internal competition is in two days. There are many Heaven’s Chosen here, and defeating them won’t be easy. I look forward to your performance."
