Chapter 1308 - 1264: King Long Deng, Saint Child of Eastern Wasteland!

Chapter 1308: Chapter 1264: King Long Deng, Saint Child of Eastern Wasteland!

Because they were always prepared to evacuate the Divine Clan’s Small World, the Gu Yuan Tribe did not mobilize extensively. This raid on the Divine Realm, which destroyed several Divine Clan cities, had already brought immense profit to the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Merely from the captured Divine Clan citizens, there were nearly ten million in number, not to mention the gathered blood and bones of the Divine Clan’s warriors. All these were sufficient to complete Xiao Chen’s plans for assembling a Divine Army.

Moreover, because he had obtained the Devil Sky King Vine, the originally complex steps to purify divine blood were completely simplified and the curse within the divine blood was purged.

This allowed the assembly of the Divine Army to become very fast.

As for other mine vein resources, they were numerous beyond count, measured by whole mountain ranges; they were indeed too many!

Later, Xiao Chen started another period of isolated cultivation, intending to refine the obtained golden divine blood into his Small World, transforming it into a golden God Form. However, three days later, Xiao Chen welcomed an unexpected visitor—the King Long Deng!

"Junior greets Elder Long Deng, it has been a long time since we’ve met, and you seem ever more imposing," Xiao Chen respectfully greeted.

"You slick youngster, thinking you can sway this old man with a few sweet words," King Long Deng laughed and scolded in response to Xiao Chen’s greetings.

"Elder, please take a seat."

Under the massive Star Annihilator Cannon at the bow of the Starship, a white jade stone chair and table appeared, on which Xiao Chen invited King Long Deng to sit.

"Good lad, the forces capable of building a Starry Sky Battleship in my Eastern Wasteland are few among the Great Aristocratic Families; I hadn’t expected you to find a loophole!"

Feeling the majestic iron mountains, King Long Deng said with a smile.

"Merely luck, merely luck!" Xiao Chen lightly replied with a laugh.

"Bullshit luck, your old man doesn’t believe that just by luck you could advance boldly here, not to mention, was it also by luck that you annihilated that avatar of the Purple Dragon Family?"

King Long Deng snorted coldly. Xiao Chen was unconcerned; the battle with the Purple Dragon Saint Child a few days ago couldn’t be concealed.

Moreover, no one was right or wrong about the events of that day, and he was not inclined to argue about who was right or wrong, since he was under pressure, he’d rather reason with his fists.

"Old man did not expect that you would encounter each other so soon. The Eastern Emperor might have been too eager in appointing you as the Saint Child; if he gave you a millennium, you might well contend for power in the five directions of the Human World. Now, you are too sharp."

Suddenly, King Long Deng expressed a touch of emotion. In fact, Xiao Chen had not yet understood the purpose of King Long Deng’s visit, so he kept quiet, quietly listening to the old man’s words.

"Unfortunately, there is no perfect action in the world that can take advantage of both ends. There’s no such thing as a free lunch!"

These words, however, made Xiao Chen puzzled, and he immediately spoke up, "Elder, I don’t feel that I’ve taken advantage at all; instead, enmities have already begun forming!"

"Bullshit!" King Long Deng cursed in response to Xiao Chen’s words. Xiao Chen remained unfazed.

"Boy, you still say you haven’t taken advantage? This Divine Clan’s Small World conquest, without your title of Saint Child, do you think you and your Gu Yuan Tribe could have participated?"

"Gu Yuan is too young, and you have only been a King for just over a hundred years. Despite having the strength to fight across ranks, not being a world-class warrior within the seven heavens of kings, you will never be regarded by those Great Aristocratic Families."

"In the eyes of the masses in the Human Realm, the Human Emperor governs the earth, but in the eyes of the true strong ones, the Human Emperor and the Great Aristocratic Families jointly govern the earth!"

"Granting you the title of Saint Child also aimed to elevate the status of you and your backing forces; otherwise, you would be excluded from many major human movements, as both strength and status are valued within the human race!"

"Of course, your position now is not stable, and there will be many warriors who are dissatisfied. Therefore, what follows is the time when you need to firmly secure your position and elevate the strength of your backing forces to be on par with the other major forces."

"Compared to the benefits you can gain, you will find these challenges to be nothing in the future!" King Long Deng’s words left Xiao Chen somewhat puzzled.

"This battle in the Divine Realm’s Small World also counts as considerable experience; combined with your annihilation of that avatar from the Purple Dragon Family, you have shown some strength to the other Great Aristocratic Families. But this still isn’t enough, to gain more, you must strive, in our Human Realm, by constantly defeating enemies, until reaching the pinnacle!"

In reality, by leading his troops to fight the Divine Clan, Xiao Chen had figured out the Eastern Emperor’s intentions, which were to temper his strength and experience. Yet, such an advantage was not easy to come by, just like the battle with the avatar of the Purple Dragon Saint Child.

He believed such challenges would keep coming continuously.

"Elder, does this mean our human race will have major movements in the future?" Suddenly, Xiao Chen asked.

"You’ll find out in the future. This time forcibly dragging you and the other nine major forces into this Small World, was also my and Zhuri’s intention."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected the Divine Marquis Palace to exert effort behind the scenes. In reality, the Divine Marquis Palace could be considered a neutral power, rarely involving itself in the tribal conflicts of the earth.

"Don’t get too excited yet, right now it’s just that my Divine Marquis Palace has been silent for too long, and you just happened to appear,"

The words of King Long Deng clearly represented the attitude of the Divine Marquis Palace. His words also made it clear that the Divine Marquis Palace wasn’t supporting Xiao Chen particularly, but because he happened to rise up. Should another strong one rise, the Divine Marquis Palace would similarly support them from the shadows.

"The Divine Marquis Palace won’t help you much; this time elevating you and your backing tribe among the top ten powers is a test for you. In the East Desolate Land, there are powers stronger than or comparable to these top ten forces. Of course, that’s not the most important thing—the important thing is, now that you have a status, see how you manage to stabilize it. Don’t end up completely falling down; that would be quite a sight!"

"I understand!" Xiao Chen respectfully replied.

"Elder, how are the major powers in the East Desolate Land distinguished?" Suddenly, Xiao Chen asked.

"Let’s not discuss those below kings. King’s Clan, Hidden Families, and the top tier naturally is the Imperial Blood Noble Family. Currently, the strongest in the East Desolate Land is the Ji Family of Eastern Emperor, followed by the flourishing Emperor Clan, like this time’s Qingmu Emperor Clan. The next level would be like the appearance of the Purple Dragon of the Purple Dragon King Division. Although there is no great emperor presiding, the tribe has peak kings, and with the emergence of a young prodigy like Purple Dragon, the tribe’s strength will undoubtedly surge!"

King Long Deng didn’t conceal anything and spoke slowly.

"Below that are the great clans with Seven Heavens kings, like the Fudai King Division this time. Only tribes possessing Seven Heavens Kings can be considered first-rate clans in the Human Realm. This time elevating you and the Gu Yuan Tribe to the position of a first-rate tribe, you must keep it!"

"I understand!"

"There’s one more thing I’d like to ask, how many Saint Children are there in my Eastern Wasteland?"

Hearing this, King Long Deng laughed heartily and said, "I knew you would ask this."

"Although it’s not formally determined under the decree of the Eastern Emperor and announced to the entire East Desolate Land, it has already spread among some great clans. Currently, there are a total of four Saint Children in the Eastern Wasteland!"

"Four," Xiao Chen whispered quietly; this was the current number, and evidently, King Long Deng’s words didn’t set it in stone. Perhaps in the future, the Eastern Emperor might set a new position for Saint Child with his decree.

"What, you seem puzzled. Every Saint Child of my human race will go through testing, just like you defeated the Demon Clan’s Spear Demon Child, which was your test. As for the number, that’s not so strange. Initially, under the decree of the Eastern Emperor, before stepping onto the Human Emperor’s position, there were nine Saint Children contesting for the Human Emperor’s position. In the end, the Eastern Emperor stood out and succeeded the Emperor!"

"Elder, stop beating around the bush; who exactly are these Saint Children?" Xiao Chen then asked again.

"You count as one," King Long Deng spoke, then added, ’Of course, also the weakest one.’

Seeing King Long Deng’s joking expression, Xiao Chen could not wait to throw him off the Starship.

"In terms of ranking, among the four, in the Martial Realm, you rank at the very end, the third you must have heard of, the direct line of Imperial Blood of the Taihao Family in the Eastern Emperor City."

Instantly, Xiao Chen remembered the famed Taihao Family’s Imperial Blood in the Eastern Wasteland, born with fortune spanning the entire Eastern Emperor Domain, penetrating the Supreme King Realm at merely the age of twenty. Now, a hundred years later, it’s hard to know what level he has reached.

"In these years, this direct descendant of the Taihao Family has been continuously cultivating in retreat in the secret realm left by the family’s Emperor, rumored to have already broken through to the Seven Heavens King, evolving his Small World into the Law World!"

At that moment, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but sigh. The Emperor’s direct blood, a noble by birth, indeed had terrifying talent; within a mere hundred years, he had spanned five heaven’s distance.

You should know he had the assistance of the Mountain River Seal, among other fortunate coincidences, even during his advancement to king, he spanned four heaven’s distance, and now in a hundred years, he had barely advanced two great realms.

Both having a hundred years, and even one realm was just advanced in these past few days, this was already shocking!

Could it be that the Emperor’s blood was indeed so terrifying!

Similarly, Xiao Chen also understood that rumors from the outer world are always just rumors; as for how far this direct Taihao blood has truly reached, unless seen in action, it would be impossible to know.

Sensing the surging Fighting Will within Xiao Chen’s heart, after a moment it transformed, King Long Deng nodded.

"Whether you favor one over the other, you previously advanced from a Forbidden Half-King to a Supreme King, the first person in this era of my East Desolate Land, and additionally entered the ancient Chaos Ancient Land receiving the pure qi of heaven and earth—once you advance to the Seven Heavens, and when your Small World evolves, you will see how much benefit that brings!"

"The direct Taihao blood who, according to rumors, entered their family secret realm, is inheriting the legacy left by that Emperor; his rapid progress is expected."

"I naturally will not do so; even Emperors start from scratch. I’m just retracing the paths of the powerful!"

"Good, spirited!"

King Long Deng exclaimed, "Exactly! When our human race was weak, where did any Imperial or Empyrean blood come from? It was still the strong ones arising from darkness, passing down their bloodline!"
