Feng Xinyue explained, “That fragment isn’t a secret. It is located in the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm, which lies in the central zone of the Heaven Essence World. With every major revolution of the Heaven Essence World, the dragon vein qi of the land gathers, splitting the nine heavens apart, causing the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm to emerge. When it appears, the veins of the earth are affected, and the flow of the heavens changes. This transformation makes it the optimal time to condense heaven vein dragon qi. Furthermore, condensing heaven vein dragon qi in that realm is much easier and faster.
“The name ‘Heaven Vein Mystic Realm’ is something people came up with randomly. No one knows its true name or origins. It’s simply known as a holy land that hid itself in the void during the primal chaos war.
“There have been eight recorded appearances of the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm throughout history. Its timing is unpredictable—sometimes it appears after a million years, other times only after a trillion. However, each appearance marks a major turning point for that era. It is at this time that the slumbering factions of the world will awaken and fight for karmic luck.”
With a sneer, Feng Xinyue added, “Those clowns wanted to use death qi to curse our dragon veins, unaware that the Wind God Sea Pavilion’s dragon veins had long since moved. Even if they polluted the ground’s veins, they couldn’t touch our dragon veins, let alone curse our disciples.”
Although these people were very sinister, they weren’t that smart. The information they had was no longer relevant.
Even if they had polluted that land, the Wind God Sea Pavilion would have just moved somewhere else and abandoned that area for a century, waiting for the curse's energy to dissipate on its own.
There had been no reason for Feng Xinyue to act earlier. In any case, she had wanted to test their adaptability. However, Long Chen ended up absorbing the curse energy, which was outside her expectations.
Feng Xinyue said, “The dragon veins from all directions will converge at the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm. Factions with dragon veins can tap into this energy early to enter the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm before the general public. Moreover, it doesn’t just absorb dragon veins from the Heaven Essence World; it also draws from other worlds. In other words, you’ll encounter experts from these worlds inside, including legendary races.
“The opening of the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm signals a fierce battle for heaven vein energy. It will be a true storm of blood, and only the strongest will survive. These people thought they could threaten us because everyone fears being cursed by misfortune. After all, inside the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm, luck plays a major role in survival.”
“Fortunately, I don’t rely on luck,” Long Chen said, curling his lips.Luck had always been a sore subject for him, but he had to admit that for most people, it often determined life or death.
Feng Xinyue continued, “The Heaven Vein Mystic Realm is too mysterious. There are countless secrets hidden within. Even now, no one knows how a masterless land could hide on its own from the calamity of the primal chaos war, nor do they know why it appears. However, we do know that there are countless treasures hidden within. One of them is a fragment of the Sword God’s divine sword.”
“No one has obtained it after all these years?” asked Yue Zifeng.
Feng Xinyue replied, “The Sword Dao contained within the fragment is too powerful, and no one dares to touch it. Getting too close to it will cause soul-shattering injuries. Hence, most sword cultivators only gather in the vicinity to comprehend its sword intent. Almost no one dares to get close, let alone take it. Thus, it has been resting there all this time. But with your power, Yue Zifeng, you can get close to it. Let’s see whether or not you can obtain its approval.
“Back then, High Heaven could only obtain the fragment because the divine sword’s core was weakened by the Sword God’s death. It was basically in its weakest state. On the other hand, the fragment in the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm has been nourished over time, developing its own will. Obtaining it is extremely difficult. However, if you can obtain it, you will be like High Heaven. Instead of wandering outside the gate, you will be able to take a step forward. Don’t underestimate this one step. Once you take it, you will see the direction to go instead of flying around like a headless fly.”
Yue Zifeng’s excitement was brimming. After all, his Sword Dao had reached a bottleneck. He felt like he was standing at the top of a cliff with mist around him, unable to see which direction to go. If he made a rash move, he would fall and never be able to climb back up.
This was what Feng Xinyue meant by “wandering outside the gate”. If Yue Zifeng could obtain this fragment, he would have the guidance of the Sword God. At the very least, he would finally see where his future path lay.
“It’s not just the divine sword’s fragment inside,” a voice echoed in Long Chen’s mind. “My Emperor reverse scale is there as well.”
Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat. “Senior, I thought your Emperor reverse scale was in the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest within Sovereign Dragon Valley?”
“Did I ever say that?”
“I…”
Long Chen realized that the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign had never mentioned the exact location. Back then, it only said it would guide Long Chen to its Emperor reverse scale, and he was the one assuming it was inside that Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
The Dragon Sovereign continued, “As Feng Xinyue said, the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm will be a bloodbath. I can sense monsters from the primal chaos era within, and you’ve never encountered such beings. Be extremely cautious.”
Long Chen’s chest tightened. After all, the Dragon Sovereign’s warning wasn’t to be taken lightly.
“Some will seek my reverse scale; others will chase different treasures. The storm within the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm will be unparalleled. Do not go alone, or you will surely die. You must rely on the Dragonblood Legion’s strength,” advised the Dragon Sovereign.
Long Chen nodded. From the way the Dragon Sovereign spoke of it, this trial might be the most perilous of his life. After all, the Emperor reverse scale and the divine sword fragment were treasures worth dying for. Furthermore, Feng Xinyue and the Dragon Sovereign hinted at the existence of other equally priceless treasures inside.
Suddenly, the palace interior lit up with a flurry of flashing signals, startling them. It was an urgent report.
