Dragon Blooded War God

“Laws are the power that utilizes the strength of the world. They themselves are the strength of the world. It’s too early for you to learn about this. You are still at the Earthly Martial Realm, so you should focus on deepening your understanding on Martial Arts for now. It’s also a type of law called the Law of Martial Arts, or rather, you are learning the Law of Earthly Martial Arts at this point. It’s a weak type of law that will allow you to feel the power of the earth. You will be able to use very little essence to redirect the strength of the earth once you learn more. Once you are at the Heavenly Martial Realm, you will naturally be able to learn more about laws, because by then, you will have to understand the laws of the world rather than just the earth.”

Long Chen was confused.

He felt like the path of cultivation had just become harder. It had been easy enough to absorb blood essence from his enemies in the past, but that method was useless now. He never thought it would be that difficult to progress through the Three Martial Realms.

The path to cultivation was exceedingly difficult.

Those who stood at the top were all heroes.

The Four Basic Realms were indeed the basics, while the Three Martial Realms were just the beginning of the path of cultivation. The realms beyond that were even more difficult.

Little Cat tried to console Long Chen. “The path to cultivation has always been that difficult. To be honest, you wouldn’t have achieved much if you didn’t have the Inherited Blood Essence since you were born in such a desolate place. Even if you dug out all of your potential back in Baiyang Town, you would at most reach the Heavenly Passage Realm, but now you are different. Half of your body has transformed that into a dragon with you noticing. Your Martial Soul should be shaped like a dragon, correct?”

Long Chen had never told Little Cat about that secret.

Little Cat was surprisingly serious this time.

Little Cat smiled. “Then that just proved my conjecture. You were once a human, but now your Martial Soul is a dragon. That means you will become a dragon in the future. However, your soul, or rather your Divine Soul, is a human since you were born one. That means you will always be a human and you must follow the laws of how a human can cultivate. Compared to demonic beasts, humans have weaker bodies. They are exceedingly fragile if you compare them to the Ancestor Dragons. Demonic beasts, on the other hand, were born strong; however, their strength is determined at birth. They will naturally reach their full strength once they become adults. Xiaolang, on the other hand, is a mutant that can increase his cultivation level by consuming flames. Theoretically, he shouldn’t have to cultivate nor comprehend anything to become stronger.

“Humans are the weakest race. To become strong, they must continue to cultivate ceaselessly. The Martial Realm allows them to better use their strength and have a shallow understanding of the laws of the world. You will now face many more trials to become stronger, so be prepared.”

Little Cat had rattled so fast that Long Chen realized this was the first time he had been this serious. Long Chen was also surprised by how much he himself didn’t know about the world.

But he was grateful to Little Cat for pressuring him so that he would feel desperate enough to continue cultivating.

I will become a dragon one day, but my Divine Soul remains as a human. I will always be one, so I cannot be like Xiaolang, who can become stronger with ease. I have to continue to fight and learn how to control the laws of the world. Only then will I become the strongest. The Three Martial Realms are all about learning the Law of Martial Arts, the most basic law. But the Ancestor Dragons were versed in the Law of Massacre and the Law of Time. Those must be some of the highest-level laws in the world.

He organized his thoughts and had a feeling that he just learned something new.

He never had to think about what to cultivate in the Four basic Realm which was why he was facing bottlenecks in the Three Martial Realms. But now through Little Cat’s explanation, he had learned a lot.

Cultivating was the method to take back control of his life.

Cultivating was to go against the Heavens.

The more one goes against the Heavens, the more one gets to control themselves.

The Four Basic Realms were used to accumulate energy and change one’s body, while the Three Martial Realms were the start to one’s cultivation. The accumulation of strength was no longer important at those stages. What was more important was to feel and try to control the laws. One also had to make their Martial Soul stronger to share the lifespan of the world.

Little Cat thought he might’ve been too harsh on Long Chen, but he was surprised to see Long Chen became motivated instead. Long Chen had always been rebellious, striving to become stronger to prove himself. His heart was still beating strong while his spirit remained unbroken.

Little Cat suddenly realized that Long Chen hadn’t survived up till today through sheer luck after he looked into his passionate eyes. It was because of his attitude.

One’s attitude determined their life.

They had to make the decision to go against the heavens themselves.

While Little Cat was still stunned, Long Chen sensed that Huangfu Qi was stirring from her slumber. He quickly turned around and checked on her. Long Chen was keeping Little Cat secret at the moment, so he quickly hid him.

Huangfu Qi moved her fingers as she soaked in the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix. Her breathing stabilized and she slowly opened her eyes. They were filled with life.

This was the Huangfu Qi that Long Chen knew.

She was young, so she was supposed to be happy and naive.

But she was confused and distressed when she opened her eyes.

“Bad woman …” She suddenly saw Long Chen and paused, giving him a look full of disbelief before she smiled.

Children were simple; they always assumed that what they were seeing was the truth.

“Big Brother!” Huangfu Qi jumped up and hugged Long Chen. Her body was still covered in the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix.

Long Chen consumed the blood and turned it into Dragon Soul Essence. It wasn’t much, but there wasn't any reason to waste it.

He then realized most of the blood essence in the tub had been absorbed by Huangfu Qi. Still, it was more important for him to learn about the Law of Earthly Martial Arts right now, so Blood Transmutation was not that important to him.

“Big Brother, why are you here? Why am I here? Where’s the evil woman?” Huangfu Qi looked at Long Chen excitedly before she looked around. She didn’t know where she was since there was mist everywhere.

“This is Sky Isle in the Immortal Sea. Have you heard of it before?”

“I have! It’s a mysterious place that even my father dares not enter. Huh, why did I become stronger?” Huangfu Qi suddenly looked at herself with wonder.

“It’s probably due to the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix. You were soaked in it for more than ten days straight. Your nine great meridian points should have been opened up by the Heavenly Phoenix’s blood. Is your heavenly meridian point open? Where is it now?”

Long Chen sensed that Huangfu Qi was somewhere between the Eighth and Ninth Passage Stages. It was already impressive to have such strength at such a young age. She was destined to become the strongest in the Divine Martial Empire, second only to Long Chen.

She was only ten years old, yet she was already at the Ninth Passage Stage. Very few had achieved the same at her age.

“Yes, it’s open. It’s here.” Huangfu Qi pointed at her head and chuckled.

She suddenly remembered what Long Chen said and was shocked. “Big Brother, the Heavenly Phoenix should be the strongest demonic beast in the Immortal Sea. Did you kill it?”

She had heard that even Zhao Wuji dared not provoke the Heavenly Phoenix. If he came here and killed it, doesn’t that mean he’s stronger than Zhao Wuji?

Long Chen nodded and pinched her little nose. “Yes, I was the one who killed it to save you.”

“Waaaa!” Huangfu Qi’s eyes lit up like stars.

She didn't have any concept of someone strong. She only knew that Long Chen was undefeated.

“Alright, let’s bring you to your father. He must be worried about you.”

His mission was completed.

“Father! Yes, I want to see him! That new woman is evil! She took my mother’s house and even kidnapped me. I don’t know what she did, but I fell asleep somehow. When I woke up, you were beside me.” Huangfu Qi revealed a disgusted face when she talked about Lady Xuan.
