Chapter 523: The Heavenly Dragon Dharmic Body, Breaking Fate
Feeling the sharp edge at his throat, Candle Star spoke in a low voice, "If you don't explain your origins, I can't allow you to get close to him."
The white-robed man glanced at Candle Star, his hand holding the sword straight as if it were a bridge, making it difficult for Candle Star to reach him.
Although Candle Star was wary of the white-robed man, he wasn't yet at the point of fear.
He had spent so much effort to enter the Boundary Gate and had finally gained this opportunity; how could he give up now?
"I can't reveal my identity, or else it will harm both him and you. All you need to know is that the sword in my hand can sever your Dao Fruit." The white-robed man's gaze was cold and indifferent.
As his words fell, a terrifying sword intent instantly locked onto Candle Star. The white-robed man's eyes lost their luster.
The white-robed man sheathed his sword and continued walking towards Long Qing.
Candle Star stood there, his body trembling slightly.
The confrontation between the two was not hidden, and many disciples saw the white-robed man's drawing his sword towards Candle Star. However, they didn't dare to act rashly because they knew that Candle Star was the strongest existence in the Medicine Valley, and even the Valley Master respected him greatly.
The current Third Medicine Valley no longer had the cohesion of thousands of years ago. Most disciples were just passersby, and none would risk their lives for Long Qing.
Long Qing, who was chatting with Lu Baitian, noticed the white-robed man approaching. His gaze followed and landed on Candle Star.
He saw Candle Star standing still, his body trembling, his eyes blank, and his state was clearly amiss.
Just as Long Qing was about to speak, the white-robed man suddenly appeared before him, startling Long Qing, who instinctively wanted to retreat.
Slap!
The sword sheath pressed against Long Qing's shoulder, rendering him unable to move.
Long Qing's eyes widened, his face showing a look of disbelief.
Lu Baitian, standing beside him, also reacted and subconsciously wanted to strike the white-robed man. But he was frozen in place by the white-robed man's gaze.
Facing the white-robed man's stare, Lu Baitian felt as if he had entered a dark and gloomy world. All around him were countless densely packed swords, their tips pointing at him, making him shudder. Every step he took would collide with a sword, and this feeling of being unable to move freely made him feel suffocated and terrified.
In reality, Long Qing didn't fall into a hallucination, but facing the white-robed man, his magical power was unable to be mobilized, as if a mighty mountain pressed down on him.
Long Qing stared at the white-robed man and asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Do we have a grudge?"
After Gu An left, he didn't stay in the Third Medicine Valley all the time. He occasionally went out for cultivation and had met countless people, but he was sure he hadn't offended such a powerful existence. The only thing he could think of was his bloodline.
If even Candle Star couldn't resist this person, such an existence was definitely not from the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
The white-robed man scrutinized Long Qing, and after a while, disappointment flashed in his eyes.
This gaze made Long Qing feel very uncomfortable, and he was filled with inexplicable anger.
The white-robed man spoke, "You're even worse than I imagined. There's no need to be nervous; I won't harm you. There's no one in this world more trustworthy than me."
"Hehe..." Long Qing smiled mockingly.
The white-robed man continued, "I also have the surname Long. Now do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Long Qing's eyes widened, and his expression was filled with astonishment.
At this moment, Candle Star suddenly appeared beside Long Qing and grabbed the white-robed man's sword sheath.
"Wait! Let him finish speaking!"
Long Qing whispered sternly, his gaze fixed on the white-robed man.
Candle Star had just broken free from the illusion and hadn't heard the white-robed man's previous words. He turned to look at the white-robed man, his eyes filled with anger, fear, and caution.
The white-robed man withdrew his hand, and Candle Star released his grip, staring at him as he slammed the sword into the ground."
As the sword sheath struck the ground, the surrounding environment changed abruptly. They found themselves in a dark and gloomy world, and as far as the eye could see, the ground was covered in sword shadows, all of them embedded in the earth.
"What a powerful domain..."
Candle Star muttered to himself, scanning the area, his heart filled with awe and fear.
The white-robed man stared at Long Qing and said, "My name is Long Jun, son of the Dragon Heart Emperor, and your ancestor. I have observed your life in the past, and although much of it is blurry, I can roughly understand the path you will take in the future."
Candlesun's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock.
Long Qing was also stunned. He didn't speak, looking at Long Jun in bewilderment.
"You two will lead the Taixuan Sect to unify the Heavenly Spirit Grand Universe, but in the end, you will die at the hands of the War Court."
Long Jun continued, turning to Long Qing and said, "You will be possessed by the Annihilation Emperor."
Long Qing's heart raced.
Long Jun then shifted his gaze to Candlesun and said, "You will be refined into a Dao Soldier by the master of the War Court. Your will will forever endure torment."
Candlesun's face paled as if he had realized something.
Long Qing clenched his teeth and asked, "The Long family was slaughtered, leaving only me. You claim to be my ancestor, so why didn't you intervene?"
Long Jun looked at him, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Because the current me faces a fate worse than death. The me you see here is not the me from the present. I come from the past, and this is a method I left behind before I was captured. I want to help the Long family escape their destined calamity."
Long Qing couldn't understand his words.
Candlesun asked, "Do you mean you traveled from the past or are a projection?"
"If you can't understand, then focus on how to resolve the calamity. If the Annihilation Emperor possesses you, he might truly gain my grandfather's abilities."
"Are you talking about Long Zhan?"
"Yes, although I inherited his fate, it's nothing compared to the power of his bloodline." Long Jun replied.
Long Qing recalled Candlesun's previous mention of Long Zhan, the Dragon Heart Emperor's grandson, who had inherited the talent of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.
Long Qing opened his mouth to ask a question.
Isn't the grandson of the Dragon Heart Emperor Long Jun's son?
As if reading his confusion, Long Jun answered, "Yes, my son also inherited this bloodline power. It's because of this power that the Long family attracted a devastating calamity. He has already died, but I'm still alive because my father told me stories about my grandfather. So, I've hidden my talent since I was young, but my son was born during the War Court's heyday, and he had no reservations."
Long Qing listened, feeling dizzy, and Candlesun was also shocked, quickly calculating in his mind.
Long Jun turned to Long Qing and said, "You need to cultivate a divine ability."
Long Qing furrowed his brows. "What divine ability?"
"The Heavenly Dragon Dharmic Body. This ability allows you to manifest a Dharmic Body with those connected to you by bloodline cause and effect, fighting alongside you."
"Even if I cultivate it, won't their strength be related to my cultivation level?" Long Qing asked, feeling an instinctive resistance.
"No," Long Jun said. "The strength of the manifested Dharmic Body depends on their cultivation before death. The challenge is in summoning them. This ability was created by my father, who gained insights from my grandfather. He said my grandfather's ability was even more powerful, but I never witnessed it."
Long Qing took a deep breath and asked, "What is required to cultivate this ability?"
"The price is your eternal life," Long Jun replied. "You can leave behind an heir before sacrificing yourself to break the Long family's destined calamity. This is your only option."
The only option?
Long Qing's eyebrows furrowed as he wondered why. He thought of his master.
Did my master leave because of his destiny?
But if that's the case, why did my master's disciple ask me if I was willing to follow him?
Long Qing looked up at Long Jun and asked, "Do you know my master?"
