Dragon Blooded War God - Chapter 543: Heaven Meridian Point
Long Chen knew very little about the Day of the Nine Suns, so he had been under the assumption that the phenomenon would last the whole day. Since Jian Chen had said it would only last two hours, it meant they had a lot more time to get to their destination. Plus, the surrounding temperatures were going to increase by several times, so if it lasted through a whole day, a large number of regular people would die. If it only lasted for two hours, the effects would not be that serious.
“Seventh Brother, don’t worry. Big Sister should have been able to stop the pursuing forces. We haven’t seen even one of them on this road thus far. So don’t worry and focus on your absorption. The Emperor Flame Pearl will channel the power of the nine suns into your body. The nine suns correspond to your nine meridian points, so even the meridian points that have been opened will be opened once more,” said Lan Ling’er with a grin as she came up to him.
Long Chen nodded. To be honest, with two Earthly Martial Realm experts protecting him, there was nothing to worry about.
The sky soon brightened and the sun rose from the east. Golden rays spread across the land, and Long Chen suddenly heard a shrill bird call. Then he saw the silhouette of a golden bird flash in the fire-red sun.
“That means that when noon comes, the nine suns will definitely appear,” Jian Chen explained with a sigh.
Long Chen looked up at the vast Swirling Cloud Mountain Range. It was a boundless sea of mountains with countless peaks like waves crashing towards the sky, with some peaks even touching the clouds. It was no wonder this place was called the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range.
“We’re here! Let’s hurry to the deeper parts of the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range. The deeper we go, the lower the chance of Seventh Brother from being interrupted.” Lan Ling’er stretched, revealing beautiful curves.
Both Long Chen and Jian Chen pretended not to see her seductive move, causing her to feel defeated, privately scolding the two men for not appreciating beauty. They had to have some difficulties in a certain area …
The three of them hurried along without stopping and soon entered the mountains. As soon as they arrived, Long Chen and the others heard a shout. A man with tattered clothes and a dusty face rushed out of the woods. He was covered in blood stains and had many scratches inflicted by claws on his body. He must have been attacked by a beast.
Then a powerful tiger pounced from behind him, immediately pressing him against the ground. It opened its huge jaws and moved its head towards his head. If he was bit, his entire head would be ripped off, resulting in an unimaginably tragic death.
The man kept screaming for help, and he screamed even louder when he saw the trio.
Before Long Chen and Jian Chen even moved, Lan Ling’er picked up a rock and flung it so hard that it punched a hole in the tiger’s head. The tiger collapsed weakly on the man and never moved again.
Long Chen initially felt like the three of them had to keep their identities secret, so he was torn between saving the man or not. However, this person was just a minor figure who had not even reached the Heavenly River Realm and likely did not know them, so he would not be able to leak their location.
The man was overjoyed because he was saved. He clambered to his feet and kowtowed to the three of them. “Thank you for saving my life! I will never forget this! May I know the names of the three of you? I will repay you for your kindness!”
“Forget about names. It was nothing; it’s not worth mentioning,” Jian Chen said curtly, then he led Long Chen and Lan Ling’er quickly into the mountain range, thus disappearing from his sight.
Then that man looked up in confusion. He muttered to himself, “White hair … white hair … A hundred kilometers from here, there is a city called White City with a young Martial King from the Martial Alliance. He was the ultimate prodigy, but then he committed treason. That guy was so strong; he couldn’t be Jian Chen, could he?”
With that thought, he suddenly grew excited!
“The reward for reporting the location of people on the Bounty Board is a hundredth of the total reward. The bounty for Jian Chen is ten million Heavenly Passage Pills! If I make a report, doesn’t that mean I’m going to receive a hundred thousand pills?!”
The man quickly rolled up from the ground and ran out of the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range like he was running for his life.
The trio did not know that this act of kindness would trigger a huge problem.
“I haven’t been home in a long time,” said Jian Chen, suddenly looking southwards as they hurried along.
“Where is your home?” asked Long Chen.
“It’s in that direction. One hundred kilometers away lies a city called White City. That’s where I grew up. However, my parents died when I was very young, so I wasn’t really treated well in my family and was always bullied. But those are just things that happened when I was young. I have taken my revenge,” Jian Chen said wistfully.
His early life experiences were similar to Long Chen’s.
In the beginning, Long Chen hated the Yang family too. But not anymore, because he had long reached a far higher level than them.
Two hours before noon, Jian Chen stopped. They were in a deep valley that was very quiet and filled with plants. No one had come here for a long time, so the plants were lush.
“This is considered a deep part of the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range. If we go any deeper, there might be some powerful beasts. They might come looking for trouble when the Emperor Flame Pearl causes a commotion, so this place will do.”
Since there were two hours left, Long Chen had enough time to prepare. He found an empty space in the valley, then he sat down on a clean boulder. He looked up at the sky. The sun was diagonally above, in the east. In two hours, the sun would be directly above.
The sun looked like it was up in flames. It was likely that most people had already noticed the strange phenomenon. The surrounding temperatures had increased drastically, and without the Dragon Soul Transformation, Long Chen felt a faint burning sensation on his skin.
“Little Cat, are you ready?” Long Chen asked. He was relying on Little Cat to get the Golden Crow’s soul remnants.
“Of course. When the Golden Crow was alive, he was no match for me. Now this is just a tiny remnant of his soul, so how could it escape me?” Little Cat said smugly, rubbing his belly. He paused, then he said, “However, I’m exhausting my energy for you once again. Energy that I have accumulated over a very long time. Tell me, how will you thank me?”
“Can I find you a few pretty lady cats?” said Long Chen with a grin.
“You jerk! You know I can’t do anything now! And you’re still joking with me!” Little Cat raged.
Long Chen smiled, then he said seriously, “I am still weak now, but I will never forget your help, Reincarnation Beast. You were the one who saved my life. If I become successful in the future, you will be served at every feast!”
Little Cat knew that Long Chen was serious.
He knew Long Chen’s personality.
“Alright! Looking at your condition, you’ll be trash even if you cultivate harder. Seeing as you work quite hard, I’ll be kind and help you one more time.”
Long Chen was too lazy to return his insults.
Jian Chen sealed the entrance to the valley they were in while Lan Ling’er fussed over Xiaolang not far away, studying him. Xiaolang was speechless. Was he really that cute? Why did these girls, like the ten-year-old Huangfu Qi and Lan Ling’er in her twenties, all fuss over him the moment they saw him?
Xiaolang pretended that Lan Ling’er was just a fly. He looked up at the sun, which was burning brightly. The temperature was increasing fast, but he loved the heat. The hotter it was, the more comfortable he felt.
Sun Devouring Wolf … In my final form, will I be able to swallow even the sun? Xiaolang thought to himself.
After taking a glance at them, Long Chen started to focus on waiting. Noon quickly arrived, and at this point, the sun was close to the center of the sky. Long Chen looked up and saw a gigantic, fiery circle around the sun. The sun seemed to be several times larger than before, burning with golden flames!
Long Chen was sure that countless people were observing this grand phenomenon!
This was a very rare event!
Long Chen was feeling both anxious and excited. The relationship between him and the Day of the Nine Suns was the most intimate in the whole Divine Martial Empire.
The nine suns had not appeared yet, but sparks were starting to fly through the air. Under the brutal heat, the plants and trees were starting to wilt. Long Chen imagined that regular plants would wilt and even die en masse when the nine suns appeared unless they were extremely hardy.
“Long Chen, are you ready? It’s about to begin,” said Little Cat in a rare moment of seriousness.
Long Chen nodded.
“When it begins, use the Emperor Flame Pearl and guide the energy of the nine suns to open your nine meridian points. When that is almost complete, I will use a secret technique to capture the Golden Crow’s soul remnant and inject it into the nine cores. However, before that, you need to find the location of your heaven meridian point,” said Little Cat.
“Heaven meridian point?” Long Chen had not thought about it. He had heard that every person had a different heaven meridian point. When a cultivator progressed from the Eighth to the Ninth Passage Stage, they would naturally find out where it was.
“Every person has a different heaven meridian point. When your nine meridian points open later, you’ll have to feel where the last one is on your own. I mentioned it so that you can take note and be prepared.”
Long Chen knew what to do.
The nine meridian points were the centerpoints of the body. Since the heaven meridian point was the core of the nine meridian points, it was very important.
