Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 4967: Jiuli Tower

if long chen’s arrival in the heavenly desolation domain was a shocking piece of news, then the news that long ziwei became his little brother was a significant shockwave. as for what long chen had done on the martial stage, that was more like an earthquake. the news rapidly spread in the entire long clan’s territory, and everyone swiftly learned his name.

in comparison, the news of long qingyun’s death at long ziwei’s hand was nothing. far more surprising was long chen’s ability to hold the former fourth heavenly saint hostage and withstand the first heavenly saint’s pressure until the martial stage shattered.

the shockwaves caused by long zhantian had yet to settle, and his son already arrived, stirring things up again. just what was this father-and-son duo thinking?

long zhantian had cut off long zaiye’s arm, and this time, long chen almost killed him.

last time, long zhantian had faced long qihua evenly, and this time, long chen, with an early divine venerate cultivation base, directly withstood the divine pressure of the first heavenly saint. the two of them were absolutely terrifying.

there was an uproar throughout the long clan as people tried to confirm the veracity of this news. when they learned that it was true, they couldn’t close their mouths for a long time.

...

a tall, precipitous mountain had a single pavilion built on top of it. from this spot, one could see the unending mountain range in the surroundings. the rise and fall of the land, the immortal mist swirling around the peaks, the flow of auspicious light through this land, the pavilions and palaces that seemed to fade in and out of the surroundings—all these things appeared grand and mysterious.

this place had one of the best sceneries within the heavenly desolation domain. there were only two such places: one where the patriarch went into seclusion, and this one, the immortal wonderland unique to the heaven overseer.

the four heavenly saints had their own mansions. however, in terms of scenery and location, their mansions were a far cry from this place. even long ziwei was not qualified to come here. after all, the number of people who had been invited to the heaven overseer’s domain definitely did not surpass five.

once they arrived at the ancient pavilion, long chen and the heaven overseer sat down. looking at long ziwei, the heaven overseer said, “you can sit.”

“disciple does not dare. disciple is happy to be standing here,” answered long ziwei hastily. even this hot-headed guy was completely polite toward the heaven overseer.

the heaven overseer was in charge of the long clan’s laws and management. he was an honest and upright man whose character had won over everyone in the long clan. because of this, while long ziwei might dare to argue with the clan leader, he couldn’t say anything in front of the heaven overseer.

“the kindness i speak of extends across all the nine heavens and ten lands. it is virtuous, but not merciful. when people speak of a merciful heart, it’s often fake, foolish, and at times, even evil. sometimes, killing can also be a form of redemption. in times of chaos, when the boundary between good and evil blurs, and when the world is turned upside down, using violence against violence becomes the necessary means to save the world,” explained the heaven overseer.

long chen was deeply moved. “senior, i didn’t expect your insight to be so profound. this little one was rude!”

long chen hadn’t expected the heaven overseer to possess such wisdom. this time, long chen was the one to misjudge.

hearing long chen’s praise, the heaven overseer shook his head. “sometimes, even if you can see things clearly, it’s still meaningless. only those who can shape the future of this world are true heroes. people say the long clan is filled with talented geniuses of unprecedented power. however, they fail to see that the long clan has already veered off the right path. if they do not correct their course now, there may be no going back from their mistakes.”

“going back?” probed long chen.

the heaven overseer did not reply and just murmured, “when you first arrived in the heavenly desolation domain, i urged the long clan to give you your birthright. it belongs to you, and it would even count as a favor. unfortunately, they feel like the long clan’s things belong to them. when the master raises a dog to look after the house, after a while, the dog starts to think it’s the master and everything in the house belongs to it.”

long chen was surprised by the heaven overseer’s words. as for long ziwei, his jaw dropped. he couldn’t believe these words came from the heaven overseer’s mouth.

“things have progressed to the point of no return. that’s why they let me come out to clean up their mess. really, why bother? instead of being good people, they just had to be villains. now, they’ll need to hand over what’s yours while being hated by you. are they stupid?” the heaven overseer shook his head.

his tone was calm, but long chen could detect anger and resentment beneath it. long chen was at a loss for words.

as the heaven overseer’s eyes met long chen’s, he said, “this time, there are two places you have to visit in the long clan. one is the heavenly fate divine pool, and the other is the jiuli tower!”

“jiuli tower?”

long chen’s heart shook when he heard that name.
