Chapter 1486 1486: The Crest
"What is that?" Long Tian called out, making Long Chen open his eyes.
"What?" Long Chen inquired.
Long Tian pointed down. "There!"
"Where is what?" Xun asked. She couldn"t hear Long Tian. She didn"t know what Long Chen was talking about.
Long Chen ignored Xun and looked in the direction Long Tian was pointing in.
"I don"t see anything. What are you trying to show me?" Long Chen asked.
"You need to look carefully! I saw a symbol in that exact spot."
Long Chen focused even more. Ultimately, his eyes lit up as he understood what Long Tian was talking about.
"That... Isn"t that the symbol which was..."
Amazed, Long Chen flew down. Xun also followed him. Both of them landed on the ground.
Long Chen stopped right before the symbol that he had noticed. It was only a few inches in size, so it was already amazing that Long Tian had managed to notice the symbol.
"Isn"t this the Symbol that I saw at the Real Bloodline Temple?" Long Chen asked. "What is it doing here?"
"This symbol. I think I saw it before in the Bloodline Temple. This is certainly odd. Why would it be here?" Xun agreed. "Does Long Tian know?"
"I was asking him in the first place," Long Chen smiled wryly before focusing on Long Tian again. "You know what it"s doing here?"
Long Tian shook his head. "I have no idea. That"s why I was so shocked when I saw it. I"m not connected to the Bloodline Temple, and that Martial Soul is injured as well, so I can"t ask anyone."
"But if I were to guess, I think it"s related to your bloodline. It"s amusing how this is so close to the town where the White Tiger King came? Could it be that he"s here for it?" Long Tian suggested.
"It"s quite possible," Long Chen agreed. "That guy might not worry about treasures, but when it comes to a supreme bloodline, I"m sure anyone would get curious to come here themselves. That would explain why he didn"t send anyone to his place."
"Doesn"t that mean White Tiger King would come here as well? Should we really stay here?" Xun asked.
"You can"t leave this place behind after finding it. These places can only be found with luck! I think you should explore what it is about! It might be helpful!" Long Tian suggested, contrary to Xun.
Long Chen thought for a minute, but in reality, he was more tilted towards the suggestion of Long Tian. He was just beaten black and blue by the Rainbow Phoenix. It showed him how weak he was. He couldn"t just take the normal route to become stronger. He needed to take all the opportunities he could to become stronger."
"I want to explore the mystery of this symbol!" Long Chen decided.
"Only the symbol is visible in this place. There is nothing else. If I"m not wrong, this might be a lock," Long Tian let out. "We would need a key."
"If this Symbol is the lock, what might be the key?" Long Chen asked, frowning. "The White Tiger King must have it. That"s why he came here!"
"A lock may have multiple keys. Just because he has a key doesn"t mean we can"t have one," Long Tian smirked. "Are you forgetting something?"
"What?"
"This symbol is from the Bloodline Temple! Your blood should work on it like a Master key. Try it!"
"My blood... That does seem unlikely, but still...." Long Chen bit his thumb and made a droplet of blood fall on the symbol on the ground.
As soon as the blood droplet fell on the ground, the entire ground started trembling as the symbol shone brightly. Before long, an opening appeared on the ground along with some stairs that led downstairs.
"It worked!" Long Chen exclaimed. "I guess it"s certainly good to have you with me."
Without Long Tian"s help, he might not have thought about the idea to use his bloodline. It was something he learned just now.
"I think we should get down now. Don"t waste time. The White Tiger King will come here as well. We need to explore this fast and get out of here. Facing him inside this place would get very hard without your laws, as you said."
"Sigh, yes." Long Chen stepped on the stairs and went down. The opening that was made on the ground disappeared as soon as Long Chen and Xun entered the ground.
The ground returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

Back in the Immortal World, there existed a swamp that was extremely still for a long time.
However, the swamp started making some movements as a figure flew out of the swamp. A beautiful lady landed on the ground outside the swamp, dressed in a tight body fitting gown that highlighted her beautiful curves.
Behind the lady, a man stepped out of the pond as well, landing on the ground. The man was emanating a really strong aura that kept making the s.p.a.ce around him unstable.
"After so long, finally I can see something that"s not that G.o.d-d.a.m.ned place!" The man exclaimed.
"You should thank that place instead," the Immortal Queen responded lazily. "It"s because of that place you are so strong now. If that place hadn"t run out of strength, we could"ve made you even stronger. All we needed were a thousand more years, and you would"ve been so much stronger."
"Still, I think you have sufficient strength by now," the lady commented, smiling. "Now, all we need to do is take care of that guy."
"Tell me where he is. I will go straight to him and kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" The young man declared.
"No! You can"t!" the lady refused. "You can"t go straight to him."
"Why not?" The man inquired, frustrated. "I"m strong enough to destroy that dragon with one finger! I should be able to take care of the guy!"
"Even if you can, I can"t take the risk. You are the only one who can defeat him, so I want everything to be perfect when you face him. I don"t want anything unexpected to happen!"
"So what is left to do?" The man asked. "When can I kill my other self to become my only self?!"
"First, you need to take everything from that b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Take his friends, take his family! That everything he has and turns them against him! You become him and make him the enemy! I want him to face the torment! I want him to go crazy where he can"t think clearly! I want him to be a beast who is easy to kill! That"s when everything would be perfect for you! Your chances of victory would be highest!"
