chapter 1795 lightning paragon art

long chen and ye lingshan had entered the temple through different entrances, leaving behind only qu jianying and the four grand elders in the palace.

“granduncle-master, what made you change your mind?” asked qu jianying. she was very pleasantly surprised that long chen had been allowed to enter the temple.

the four grand elders had previously refused to allow long chen to enter, so now qu jianying was surprised that they would change their minds. considering how experienced they were, they wouldn’t act based on personal relationships. their actions were made entirely with the martial heaven alliance at heart. so it was basically impossible to change their minds.

when they had refused long chen the first time, she had already given up hope of long chen getting the reward.

“if i said it was because of his wine, would you believe me?” laughed one of the grand elders.

“have you been infected by that little fellow? pay attention to your decorum,” scolded the less carefree grand elder.

“what decorum? do people with one foot in the grave need to care so much?” replied the grand elder.

in the end, it was yan nantian who answered qu jianying.

“actually, we truly did not wish long chen to obtain this priceless inheritance because he’s too wild. he’s a double-sided sword, and we could easily be injured ourselves. so long chen’s essentially doesn’t meet the requirements to obtain this inheritance. however, the battle changed our thinking. it can be said that long chen has moved us.”

“you finally recognize long chen’s talented combat power? i said from the start that he was definitely the martial heaven alliance’s number one genius, and that if he was raised properly-”

“no.”

yan nantian interrupted her, shaking his head. “long chen’s talent is something we know better than you. what we care about isn’t his talent, and the same is true of ye lingshan. what we care about is their inner hearts. ye lingshan has experienced the lowest and cruelest level of the cultivation world and still did not lose her original heart. such a person’s mental quality is extremely powerful. she will never give up. that’s the most fundamental quality a leader needs. as for everything else, if she lacks it, we can nourish it. but a powerful will is partially innate and partially forced out by cruel reality. such quality is difficult to nourish.

“both long chen and ye lingshan have this quality, but one is a wild horse, while the other is a steady ox. ye lingshan is someone very worthy of trust, and she will always be a member of the martial heaven alliance. but long chen is a wild horse that no one can control.

“the reason we changed our minds is because of his fight with xiang yunfei, but it’s not due to the talent and potential he showed. it was because he was willing to risk his life for a single promise. yes, long chen is dangerous, but the greater the danger, the greater the possible benefits. in the end, we decided that this gamble had some chance of succeeding, so we wanted to use up what little we have right here.”

this was a gamble. with the great era here, the grand elders were willing to bet all their chips. whether they would win or lose would be decided in the future.

“heavenly fate island went too far this time. are we going to do anything to them?” asked qu jianying suddenly, her expression cold.

in front of this illusory gate was an elder sitting cross-legged. it was unknown what era his robes came from, but they looked ancient and strange.

“senior...” long chen bowed.

“no need for courtesy. what kind of paragon art do you want to learn?” the elder raised his head to look at long chen. he got straight to the point.

being stared at by the elder, long chen couldn’t help but jump. only once he got closer did he realize that this elder had no face. he was translucent, and his entire body was formed from a strange energy. he had no physical body.

this energy was not necessarily a soul or a yuan spirit. it was an extremely ancient energy that long chen had never seen before.

“speak. what kind of paragon art do you want to learn?” repeated the elder.

only now did long chen learn that the so-called priceless supreme treasure was actually a paragon art. he couldn’t help saying, “i want to learn all kinds of them, the more the better. i’m very hardworking, so i’m sure i’ll be alright. senior, do you want some wine? i have some very good wine here.” long chen took out some wine as a bribe.

that elder shook his head. “i’ve been guarding the death gate for thirty-four thousand years, but it’s the first time someone has come to give me a gift. however, it’s too late. i am originally an ancestral spirit. now my energy is almost exhausted, and i can only open a single door the slightest bit. hence, don’t get any funny ideas. this gate can bring you to another world, so choose the type of energy you are most skilled in. that will be the foundation for the paragon art, and that will increase your chances of success.”

“ah... so there’s a chance of failure?”

“the death gate has a ninety percent chance of failure. failure signifies death. the death qi here is the resentment left by the geniuses that failed. did you not know?” asked the elder.

“i didn’t! no one said anything about it. then where’s the life gate? i’ll just enter from the life gate,” said long chen.

“you’re already gone through the death gate. you can’t go back. so choose the best paragon art for you, and do it quickly as i don’t have much time,” warned the elder.

wasn’t this an absolute con? they hadn’t even told him anything about this!

although he was angry, this elder in front of him was very strict. he had to calm himself down so that he could properly cultivate the paragon art.

xiang yunfei’s paragon art had truly been powerful. if long chen also possessed a paragon art, it definitely wouldn’t have been so difficult to beat him.

“senior, are there any lightning paragon arts?” probed long chen. in terms of physical strength, he had the five star battle armor. in terms of flame energy, he had the world annihilation flame lotus. he was only lacking a corresponding powerful move for his thunderforce.

“there is, but i’d advise you to pick another,” answered the elder.
