Chapter 228 - Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus

Long Chen noticed Yang Yuntian looking at his daughter with love.

“I’ve learned that the weak have no rights at all in this world after going through that. If it wasn’t for you and the lady, Xiao Qing’s life would’ve been ruined. No matter what, I want my daughter to make an attempt to take control of her life. Lingqing, you are my biggest pride!”

Yang Yuntian was on the verge of tears when he said that. He realized that his second uncle had aged so much.

The man who had once tried to kill him had changed.

“Relax. Even though I am harsh, that doesn’t mean I'm always plotting something. If I said I will take care of her, I will.” Li Xuanji had finished refining the souls and approached them. Long Chen could visibly tell that she had recovered slightly.

After spending a bit of time together, Long Chen had an inkling of Li Xuanji’s character.

“How will I find you in the future?” Long Chen asked. He had silently agreed to let Yang Lingqing go and respect her decision.

“You?” Li Xuanji was taken back. Normally, Long Chen would never be able to go to where Yang Lingqing was going, so she would be the one who had to visit him. But Li Xuanji didn’t want to hurt Long Chen’s feelings. “If you ever want to come to visit us, you need to find a place called the Three Emperor Territory. Once there, ask for Li Xuanji from the Nine Yin Absolute Devil Realm. You should be able to locate us.”

“Three Emperor Territory, Nine Yin Absolute Devil Realm?” Long Chen etched those words into his memories.

“When will you be departing?”

“Brother, I want to go back to Baiyang Town to prepare before leaving with my master,” Yang Lingqing said.

“Alright.”

Long Chen said nothing else. He had decided to send her off since she was leaving.

Back in Baiyang Town, Long Chen and Yang Lingqing visited various familiar places. Yang Lingqing cried a few times when she thought that she would be leaving her hometown and going somewhere far away to chase her dream. She cried in Long Chen’s arms.

Long Chen was sad too, but he was happier that she had the chance to go explore the world under the tutelage of someone this strong. Three days later, they gathered at the entrance of the town. It was time for them to leave.

Last time, everyone was sending off Long Chen to the Lingwu family. This time, they were sending off Yang Lingqing. Once she bade everyone farewell, she approached Long Chen.

“Brother, do you remember that we were born in the same year, same month, and same day?” Her eyes were red from crying.

“Sigh ... You silly girl.” Long Chen felt his heart ache as he looked at the strong girl in front of him. He hugged her before laughing. “Alright, stop crying now. I will make you a promise.”

“A promise?”

Long Chen smiled and patted her shoulder. “I promise you that one day, I will appear in front of you and I will still be stronger than you. I will protect you once more! All you need to do is call me your brother!”

“Alright ...” Yang Lingqing cried gratefully. She held his hands tightly. “I will believe you. I know you can do it. I will wait for you!”

Everyone was touched by what they had heard. Even Li Xuanji felt a ripple in her heart.

Does he know how hard it will be to keep that promise ... Or rather, it would be more accurate to say he will never be able to do it. I don’t even know if he will be able to leave this country, much less reach the Three Emperor Territory. Too bad I can’t use that mysterious Ling Xi Sword ...

She suddenly recalled something and looked at Long Chen. “Come here, Long Chen.”

Long Chen went over to her.

“The soul within the sword ... I think it's a human soul. Are you looking for a way to restore her physical body?” Li Xuanji wasted no time and got to the point.

Long Chen never expected Li Xuanji to know about Ling Xi. Seeing that she might have a plan, he got very excited. “You have a Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit?”

Ling Xi had once said that the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit could restore her physical body.

“You even know about the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit?” Li Xuanji was surprised, but she shook her head. “I don’t have one, but I know where one is located.”

“Where?” Long Chen was very excited to find out that there was a chance for Ling Xi to restore her physical body.

“There is a Miniverse within your small country. I’ve gone in there before and found a Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. I think it's called the Counter Essence Realm.”

“The Counter Essence Realm?” Long Chen had heard of it before. He tried recalling and suddenly realized where that place was. He was ecstatic! “I know where the Counter Essence Realm is! If I can become an Immortal Guard by winning the Mayor’s Battle that’s soon to be held in Yuanling City, I will get a chance to obtain the fruit!”

He had spilled everything in his moment of excitement.

Before this, he didn’t know how to help Ling Xi. Now he had a clear goal: becoming an Immortal Guard!

I need to go back to the Lingwu family! Plus, they have no way of knowing that Li Xuanji is leaving. They would be wary of her and will never harm me.

“Thank you.” Long Chen was grateful for her help.

“Is she that important to you?” Li Xuanji had a hint of displeasure in her tone.

“Yes, she’s extremely important to me!” Long Chen failed to detect her tone and was surprised by Li Xuanji’s cold gaze.

“Don’t forget that you saw my naked body in the abyss of the Star Devil Prison!” Li Xuanji’s voice was cold and murderous intent emanated from her body.

“No man had ever seen my body before, and I’ve thought about killing you once you’d collected the souls, but I will refrain from doing that on behalf of your sister.” Li Xuanji returned to normal.

Long Chen was sweating bullets. If it wasn’t for the fact that Yang Lingqing had a chance to cultivate the Absolute Yin Devil Body, he would’ve lost his life due to that incident.

But he found it somewhat comforting to know that even though he might’ve died, at least he had seen her beautiful body.

“Time for me to leave. I will give you one last thing.” Li Xuanji took out an item. When she did, an intense aroma spread around the area. Long Chen took one sniff and felt his entire body relax, as if he was about to float into the air.

The aroma attracted everyone’s attention.

Long Chen was puzzled. Li Xuanji was just about to kill him but was now giving him something. A woman’s heart is very hard to read, especially for someone like Li Xuanji.

“This is a Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus.”

Long Chen inspected it. Even though it was glowing white and looked like jade, it was actually a lotus root around half a meter long.

“How should I use it?”

Li Xuanji rolled her eyes. “Wandering souls can possess the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus and control it. They can change their appearance into that of a human. This means that it could be used as a vessel for the soul within your sword. But there are two downsides. The first is that it's a single-use item. Once the soul leaves the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus, the item will rot and disappear. The second downside is that the body formed with the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus will not have any combat capabilities. They would be a regular human. She would just be extra luggage for you. Decide for yourself whether you want to use it or not.”

Long Chen received it. His heart started beating rapidly.

The Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus would allow Ling Xi to become a human again, but she would lose all of her power. If the lotus was damaged, she would be forced back into the Ling Xi Sword.

Still, it was better than nothing. Worst case scenario, he would use it temporarily before finding the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit.

“Thank you!” Long Chen was grateful to Li Xuanji.

“The reason I gave you the lotus is because I don’t have the confidence that you could obtain the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. Long Chen, listen to my advice. If you really love her, let her use the lotus and become a normal person. Find another place and live your life with her peacefully. The world is massive, and people like you at the corner of the world never have the chance to be at the center of it. It’s better if you live a peaceful life in a remote place instead.”

She was actually looking out for Long Chen.

She thought Long Chen would heed her advice and give up, but he had the Dragon Jade Pendant. He was the Dragon Warrior. How could he be discouraged so easily?

“Don’t you worry. I have my own plans.” Long Chen didn’t want to ignore her advice openly. He swore that he would fulfill his promise to one day visit Yang Lingqing and Li Xuanji, and he would be stronger than them.

“Then let’s never meet again!” Li Xuanji couldn’t kill him even though he had seen her naked body, but then she thought that they would never meet again, so there was no difference.

With that, Yang Lingqing left Baiyang Town and set off on a new journey with everyone’s blessing.

Long Chen felt a wave of passion in his heart as he watched them leave.

Once Ling Xi wakes up, I will let her use the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus, then I can finally ... Hehehe ... Long Chen’s smile was obscene. This was his true goal.

Eastern Azure Dragon family! Wait for me! I will be the one who shall obtain the qualifications to become an Immortal Guard! Counter Essence Realm and Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit, wait for me!

The sun rose, and Long Chen bade farewell to everyone in Baiyang Town four hours later. He rode the Divine Gale Peng and returned to Yuanling City.

What kind of fate awaited him there?
