Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 1992

“what are you so nervous about?” qu jianying looked at long chen oddly.

hearing that, long chen immediately relaxed. it seemed that he had overthought it.

“ah, i was just nervous that you would beat me because of the old man’s matter,” said long chen.

“hmph, that old bastard, i’ve known him for the better part of my lifetime. if i got angry at everything he did, i’d have long since died from rage. i can’t be bothered with him,” snorted qu jianying.

inside, long chen thought to himself that while it was true that the old man’s temper was fierce, qu jianying wasn’t any better. they always had to have thorns in their words. even if one of them had a good temper, they still wouldn’t be able to get along over time.

the two of them always blamed the other for their problems while never reflecting on themselves. for a person to look at themselves clearly was truly difficult.

“alliance head, did you need me?” asked long chen.

“yes. we have several things to discuss.” qu jianying nodded.

“why would you need to discuss things with me? you’re the alliance head, and i’m just a little disciple.” long chen smiled.

qu jianying shook her head. “your tribulation and battle have shaken the continent. you slew your fellow peak geniuses, destroyed heavenly fate island whose inheritance stretches back countless years, and even killed two island masters. you don’t even realize this, but your influence might be even greater than mine. in just ten years, the entire martial heaven continent might belong to you. so don’t act so bored all the time like mo nian. you should bring out your charisma-”

long chen hastily waved his hand, already knowing her goal. “that’s enough, alliance head. i don’t have such aspirations. if i wasn’t forced to, i wouldn’t have stood out like i did. so don’t try to use the name of all lives or the people to talk me around. the reason i am brothers with mo nian is because the two of us are both little rogues happy with just the basics. we’re also very lazy and can’t accept such immense responsibility. there’s no way for me to compare to ye lingshan in that regard, nor do i wish to sacrifice so much. i see how you care for me because of the old man, and you see the trust i have in you. as we’re so close, there’s no need to mince words. i, long chen, am not that kind of person, so you shouldn’t waste the effort to make me into that.”

seeing long chen shake his head like a rattle even before she was done speaking, qu jianying couldn’t help sighing. after hesitating for a long time, she had discussed it with the higher-ups of the martial heaven alliance to consider making long chen the leader of the martial heaven alliance. his rallying power was simply much greater than ye lingshan’s.

the leader of the martial heaven alliance didn’t necessarily need to be incredibly powerful, but they did need great charisma and rallying power, the ability to make others follow them into death.

long chen was perfect for that, and when she had suggested it, the majority of people had supported this choice. but the four grand elders had immediately shaken their heads.

yan nantian had told qu jianying to give up on that, saying that long chen would not accept being the alliance head. he was a wild horse that no one could subdue. he pursued freedom, something he would never have as the alliance head.

as expected, even the position of leader of the martial heaven alliance was unable to move long chen.

“the brahma secret realm? what damn thing is that?” long chen was startled. didn’t pill valley only possess the heaven dragon flame region? where did a brahma secret realm come from?

“the brahma secret realm is one of pill valley’s secrets. it’s said that it is a legacy that their god lord brahma left behind before becoming a god. as for whether that’s true or not, there’s no way for us to know. there are countless precious medicines and beasts within it, and it is a sacred land to pill valley. pill valley was only willing to reveal this secret to steady their side’s hearts after they took such immense losses in the previous battle. one aspect is compensation to them, while another reason is to draw over people from the neutral side. as long as the neutral camp’s people swear to never stand beside the martial heaven alliance, they will also be allowed to enter the brahma secret realm.”

yu xiaoyun seemed to have countless moves up his sleeve. the martial heaven alliance had only just won a victory when he made his next move, instantly stabilizing his side and even drawing in more of the neutral camp’s people.

“is the brahma secret realm really related to lord brahma? is pill valley really willing to share their god’s inheritance with other people?” long chen frowned, thinking that this wasn’t usual for yu xiaoyun. “what about the sect leader? what does he say?”

“li tianxuan said that this move is very strange and that he can’t see through it. however, this might be yu xiaoyun’s only way to steady the hearts of the large factions on his side,” said qu jianying.

lord brahma’s inheritance? long chen had an urge to go. he still didn’t know much about the pill sovereign’s memories. however, the intense disgust he had for lord brahma and fallen daynight came from deep within his soul, and so they should be related to the pill sovereign’s memories.

the pill sovereign’s memories had a close link to the nine star hegemon body art as well, but he knew little about either. if he wanted to figure it out, he had to go to the brahma secret realm.

“has the brahma secret realm already been opened?” asked long chen.

“not yet. they have announced that it will open in one month because they are still waiting for the pill fairy, their god’s chosen, to fully awaken. they need her power to open the brahma secret realm,” said qu jianying.

“her?”

long chen’s heart pounded hard. the warm smile of the pill fairy appeared in his mind. it made him think of past events.

he couldn’t help sighing. why did she have to be yu xiaoyun’s daughter, with yu xiaoyun being his mortal enemy? they would definitely have a battle to the death one day. it really was a case of fate toying with people.

“apparently, the pill fairy has already reached the last step of her inheritance. once she succeeds, she will become pill valley’s divine daughter and will be blessed by the god’s power. at that time, no one will be able to match her within the same realm. perhaps this is one of the reasons that yu xiaoyun retreated. you are currently unrivaled in the same realm, but his daughter might be able to kill you. in fact, your current fame might even have been boosted intentionally by him so that when his daughter kills you, pill valley will rise far above anyone else,” said qu jianying. yu xiaoyun’s scheming was extremely frightening.

she warned him, “you must be careful of the pill fairy. once she becomes the divine daughter, her entire character will change. the will of the god will influence her mind. don’t think that your past relations with her will make it so that she won’t kill you.”

“i understand.”

long chen nodded. he had heard a bit about this god inheritance. the so-called divine sons and divine daughters were servants of their gods. they were only loyal to their god.

sometimes, some things couldn’t be avoided no matter what. long chen was already used to it. the future would come no matter what.
