Dragon Blooded War God

The old man was speechless when he saw how Long Chen seemed to ignore the Ancient Tokens in his hands and was instead asking about the Wood District. He reminded Long Chen, “Young man, these Ancient Tokens …”

Long Chen finally regarded the Ancient Token, and seeing as the old man was insistent, he hurriedly took them. He then took out his own Ancient Token, which was already half-golden.

“I see that yours is already half-golden. You’re doing well for someone at your cultivation level. How did you get the other tokens? Were you lucky enough to pick them up like me?” asked the old man with surprise.

Long Chen could not be bothered to explain, so he said, “Indeed, I picked them up. If not, how could someone as weak as me have gotten this many Ancient Tokens? Thank you for your Ancient Tokens. I think this is enough to turn Ancient Token golden.”

While they spoke, Long Chen merged them with his own. The gray tokens were soon swallowed by Long Chen’s half-golden token. With every token merged, Long Chen’s Ancient Token’s golden color grew deeper.

By the time Long Chen finished speaking, his whole token had turned golden.

The old man gave a proud smile, then he said sternly, “Do not let anyone else see your Ancient Token. Other people can turn their own tokens golden by merging theirs with only yours. That is why it will be a huge temptation to other people. You don’t have much strength, so if you get targeted, it won’t end well.”

Long Chen nodded at the old man’s reminder, though in reality, he was ignoring it. Many people were working hard to turn their Ancient Tokens golden, but Long Chen did not care. To him, this was an easy task. He was only at the Third Earthly Martial Stage when he arrived, and he would have easily turned his token golden after killing a few cultivators above his level.

“May I ask where the largest city in the Wood District is? And which of the Nine Great Clans control it?”

The old man thought for a moment and said, “The largest city in the Wood District is Heavenly Wood City, which is located at the center of the district. Right now, the whole Wood District is under the control of the two clans of the Thunder Demon Faction. Heavenly Wood City is naturally the faction’s main base.”

“The Thunder Demon faction has only taken over the Wood District?” Long Chen was a little puzzled. The Ten Thousand Nations Territory had three main factions, namely the Five Element Alliance, the Thunder Demon Faction, and the Divine Wind Faction. As for the Divine Wind Faction, both the Wind and the Gold clans were fighting over the Metal District, while the Divine clan had completely taken over the Fire District. This showed how combative each clan was. The Thunder Demon faction kept a relatively low profile and was merely hiding in the Wood District. Long Chen did not know what they were planning.

“Who controls each of the five districts?” Long Chen asked.

“The five districts? Let me think … I know that the Thunder Demon faction has merely stayed in the Wood District. The Wind clan seems to have gone to the Metal District. The Divine clan controls the Fire District. The Five Element Alliance has taken two districts, namely the Water and Earth Districts. As for the Metal District, the Wind and Gold clans are fighting over it.”

Long Chen now had a clear understanding of how the factions were spread across the Ancient Graveyard. He had also obtained enough information from the old man, and after a small chat, the old man said, “What are your plans from here out? Do you want to travel with me, or…?”

Long Chen hurriedly smiled and said, “I’m used to traveling alone and leaving my fate to the heavens. I do not fear death when I am in the Ancient Graveyard. If you’ve got other matters to attend to, please go. I won’t be going with you.”

They had only just met. Although they had a good conversation going, the old man did not wish to travel with Long Chen either. He nodded and said, “In that case, I shall leave. This city is very dangerous, young man. Even with the terrifying demonic beast gone, other people who come here might guess that you’ve taken the belongings of the dead. I think you should leave as soon as possible.”

“I’ll go now.” The old man nagged too much, but since he was only saying this for Long Chen’s own good, Long Chen entertained him.

The old man did not say anything else and left.

After the old man was gone, Long Chen went up to Little Cat. The Dream Demon was lying on its back, and its fuzzy, round stomach was slightly heaving. It was still breathing, but its eyes were tightly shut and slightly twitching. Long Chen could tell that there was a brutal fight going on in its body!

Of course, it was impossible for Little Cat to lose. After waiting for a while, the fuzzy creature got up from the ground and opened its huge eyes. They were like black crystals, and it stared stupidly at Long Chen. After a while, sentience emerged in its eyes, and that was the moment Little Cat fully took control of the Dream Demon’s body.

“Damn it! This little creature was really stubborn. I exhausted all the energy I’ve been saving up for a long time because of it!” He paused and studied his body approvingly, then he lifted his fuzzy, pink paws to look at them. “Although it’s a bit ugly, not even one ten-thousandth as good-looking as me, this will do for the moment. Now I won’t need to keep going back to that stupid Primordial Realm.”

Then it leaped onto Long Chen’s shoulder without asking permission, glared at Long Chen with his large black eyes, and said, “Hey, brat, what are you looking at? I’m still in a male body. Don’t you dare think you can take advantage of me. Now you are my mount. Let’s go!”

“Shut your mouth!” Long Chen stuck out a finger and flicked Little Cat’s forehead. Little Cat hissed in pain and glared at Long Chen angrily, making him look adorable.

Actually, Long Chen was also glad to see that Little Cat could have his own body.

Long Chen leaped off the city on the gigantic tree, then turned to the black cat on his shoulder and said, “Now that you can control the Dream Demon’s body, can you use its frightening hallucinatory magic?”

“Of course. I am a powerful god; this is peanuts to me. In the future, if you can’t defeat an enemy, I can cast a spell and finish them off with ease!” Little Cat puffed his chest out confidently.

“Are there any limitations to the hallucinatory magic?” Long Chen did not believe that it could be this good. He had witnessed hallucinatory magic before, and it was a huge threat to him in his current stage.

“About that … I have limited power, similar to the Dream Demon. If an opponent is like you, I can cast the magic countless times. But the higher their cultivation level, the fewer times I can cast magic on them. Right now … I can only face a Seventh Earthly Martial Stage cultivator. As for the others …”

Long Chen had expected this. If Little Cat could even defeat a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator, then there was no need for him to cultivate anymore. Even the Dream Demon was not as strong as that.

“Don’t worry about it though. I think I can use the little Dream Demon’s body for a very long time. As I recover my strength, the magic will grow stronger. After a while, I will be able to completely surpass you,” Little Cat said smugly.

Long Chen made a rough estimate of Little Cat’s combat abilities based on his explanation. It was not bad at all. He would be a great supportive figure, and if he used those abilities well, the man-and-cat team could be a powerful combination.

The fact that Little Cat could put down his identity as the Reincarnation Beast to fight alongside Long Chen was a huge sign that he had accepted Long Chen as a brother.

When Xiaolang gets back, the three of us brothers can fight alongside each other. Then no one in the Ancient Graveyard and the Three Royal Territories will be a match for us, haha! There was a glint in Long Chen’s eye.

He now had the Rainbow Lingzhi. Once his strength had completely recovered, he would use the Martial Gold Tombstone to reach an even higher cultivation level and even receive the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance. That would be the day the Divine clan’s young master would die!

When it came to some people, Long Chen was satisfied with defeating them. For others, Long Chen felt like he had to kill them to vent his hatred. The Divine clan’s young master was in the latter category. If Long Chen did not kill him, he could not vent his hatred!

Long Chen first found a hidden place and carved out an obscure cave hidden amidst countless trees. Inside the cave, he took out the Rainbow Lingzhi, which was an intermediate King-tier spiritual herb.

The Lingzhi shone with a gentle light, bathing the cave in beautiful colors.

“It does look good.” Long Chen smiled. However, he started to think of Ling Xi. Ling Xi had only been able to survive because she had cultivated soul-nourishing herbs. Subsequently, she was able to assist Long Chen in battle too.

He had fallen for the hallucinatory spell at the city on the gigantic tree, and it was as if the real Ling Xi was right in front of him. Now that he had some time to quiet down, he reminisced on the hallucinations.

Ling Xi would never treat me like that. She will wait for me in the Royal Territory. Long Chen was sure of this. When he thought about how there was such a great girl waiting for him there, he clenched his fists, feeling more determined to fight on than ever. He had to forge ahead bravely so that all those people who looked down on him knew they were mistaken.

Not only would they be mistaken, but they would also be utterly shocked.

Next, it was time to cultivate the Rainbow Lingzhi. As Long Chen refined the Lingzhi’s spiritual energy, it quickly turned into medicinal power that nourished his Martial Soul.
