Chapter 5220 Returning Something to its Rightful Owner
“Absolutely not!” Bai Letian hastily shook his head. “Before coming, the sweeping elder told me not to attack the Eight Brahma Domains.”
Long Chen had originally planned to take advantage of the Brahma Pill Valley’s heavy losses to eliminate them entirely or at least cripple their foundation.
However, seeing how panicked Bai Letian was at his suggestion, and after hearing that it was due to the sweeping elder’s warning, Long Chen could only sigh. It was clear that there were still many secrets in the Eight Brahma Domains that he was unaware of.
If the sweeping elder had issued such a stern warning, it meant the matter was serious. Bai Letian’s expression showed just how serious the elder had been.
“Alright then. We’ll deal with the small fry first!” said Long Chen helplessly.
“We’ve already won. What more is there to deal with?” asked Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s mother.
Looking at the slumbering Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, who was still pale, Long Chen felt as if a viper was gnawing at his heart.
“A person needs to understand what reverence is. I’ll teach them that—and what fear is,” replied Long Chen.
Long Chen said, “Qingxuan, you can take this jade.”
Yu Qingxuan was startled and quickly said, “This jade is most useful in your hands. I won’t have any place to use it in the academy.”
They had personally witnessed the terrifying power of this piece of jade. It seemed that only Long Chen could trigger its power, making it a powerful protective talisman for him.
“How can I be at ease leaving you in the academy without it?” Long Chen said. He held Yu Qingxuan’s hand and placed the jade in her palm, leaving her no chance to refuse.
The moment the Sovereign jade touched Yu Qingxuan, both of them trembled. A gentle divine light flowed out of the Sovereign jade, and its aura slowly merged with her.
“What?”
Everyone stared at Yu Qingxuan in shock. Her appearance and aura hadn’t changed, but the atmosphere around her had become sacred and grand. Everyone around started to feel inferior just by standing next to her, almost as if being in her presence was a form of blasphemy. Instinctively, everyone but Long Chen took a step back.
Long Chen stared at the change in Yu Qingxuan, his heart shaking. He saw a trace of the Pill Sovereign"s figure in her.
For some reason, Long Chen regretted his decision a bit. He shouldn’t have given the Sovereign jade to Yu Qingxuan, suspecting it might awaken her memories. However, if he didn’t give her the Sovereign jade, he would always feel worried. This jade, after all, was a relic of the Pill Sovereign. By giving it to Yu Qingxuan, he was returning it to its rightful owner.
The Sovereign jade pulsed gently in Yu Qingxuan’s hand, as if it had its own heartbeat. Faint lines appeared on the jade as it pulsed, and Long Chen realized that the jade was not a single piece but rather composed of many tiny fragments.
When Long Chen noticed one peanut-sized fragment, his heart shook. Wasn’t this the same piece he had seen in the Chess Sect expert’s hand back then?
Long Chen suddenly realized that the Brahma Pill Valley had likely been gathering Sovereign jade fragments for many years. Only now had they a.s.sembled them into this complete piece of Sovereign jade. Yet, based on its appearance, it was still only a larger fragment, not the complete Sovereign jade. For a fragment to possess such power, just how powerful would the complete jade be?
Yu Qingxuan stared at the Sovereign jade, starlight flickering in her eyes. The aura felt incredibly familiar to her, and touching it made her feel as if they were one.
“Long Chen, thank you,” Yu Qingxuan said, feeling both moved and sad. She wanted to stay with the statue, but she also wanted to stay with Long Chen. With this Sovereign jade, she finally had the power to protect him.
How could Long Chen not know what she was thinking? He stroked her hair and softly said, “You’ve exhausted yourself this time. Stay with s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and recover!”
Yu Qingxuan obediently nodded. Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s mother hesitated for a moment before handing Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ to Yu Qingxuan.
As someone who had once been young, Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s mother knew it was best to leave matters between youngsters to the youngsters. As a senior, it was better for her not to interfere unless necessary.
Just as they were speaking, an explosive sound rang out, shaking the academy. Everyone jumped in fright. Long Chen looked over to see an enormous black spear land on top of a building’s foundation.
“Hahahaha, I’m rich!” shouted Guo Ran.
This spear was the Purgatory Fiend Spear that had almost killed them all. The Dragonblood warriors had worked together to drag it out of the ground, and it was bound by countless chains.
The spear was incredibly heavy, requiring all the Dragonblood warriors to join forces just to pull it out. Exhausted, they could no longer move and returned to the barrier to rest.
“How is this thing so d.a.m.n heavy?!” cursed Gu Yang, panting.
“This is divine metal from Purgatory, and it has its own laws that make it incredibly heavy. I wonder what those fellows did to shoot it,” said Xia Chen, sensing this spear’s terrifying aura.
“Who cares? This thing is ours now. Brothers, once your armor has this kind of pressure and aura added to it, let alone fighting, your aura alone will scare your opponents to death, hahaha! Heavens, I’m getting excited just thinking about it!” Guo Ran rubbed the Purgatory Fiend Spear. Sensing its terrifying fluctuations, he had the urge to kiss it.
After all, this was a divine material he couldn’t even dream of obtaining. The essence refined from this huge spear would be enough to create a set of battle armor and divine weapons for everyone in the Dragonblood Legion.
Most importantly, he had all the materials from the High Firmament Treasure Pavilion at his disposal. Long Chen had been wanting to forge a set of Human Emperor divine weapons for everyone, and just at the right moment, a huge batch of new divine material landed in his pocket.
If Guo Ran used this additional material, he would be able to refine top-grade Human Emperor divine weapons. Furthermore, the weapons and armor he forged would have the aura of Purgatory. Just how flashy would that be?
Guo Ran’s own armor and sabers had been destroyed by the Purgatory Fiend Spear. At first, he hated them, but now he saw them as a treasure bestowed upon him by the heavens.
The Dragonblood Legion exhausted themselves pulling all four spears out. Stars spun in their eyes from the effort. They could no longer move and returned to the barrier to rest.
Long Chen suddenly said, “Everyone on the battlefield, come back. The disciples who haven’t gone onto the battlefield yet, go now!”
At this time, those disciples hiding within the barrier stiffened.
