"What opportunity?" Long Chen asked.
"This is Lingxiao Academy, the most deeply rooted academy in all the hundred domains and thousand provinces. Although it has declined, it has helped you the most.
So, if you want to stand out in the Immortal Realm, this is the best foundation. At Lingxiao Academy, there are records about the Nine Star successors. If you want to understand yourself, this is the best way.
I think Lingxiao Academy is the best fit for you, so I sent you here. However, no one can change the fate of the Nine Star successor; I only brought you here. As for what you choose, it ultimately depends on you." The dragon clan expert said.
"Since you think I'm suited here, I'll just get by here. But senior... Could you do me a favor? I want to see my friends on the Tianwu Continent, and I .... Long
Chen knew that the dragon clan powerhouse had saved him and would surely save others as well. However, he still couldn't let go of his parents, sister, and those who had helped him.
"No problem, close your eyes, I'll share my vision with you." said the dragon clan expert.
Long Chen closed his eyes as instructed. Suddenly, a blur appeared before his eyes, and endless stars appeared, like sand, covering his vision.
Long Chen was startled, because from his perspective, those stars were so tiny, like floating grains of sand, densely packed and layered.
Looking up, Long Chen saw several massive star clusters—nine in total. Surrounded by all nine clusters, there was a gigantic star—one star that was even larger than all nine clusters combined.
Just as Long Chen was about to continue watching, the voice of a dragon clan expert suddenly echoed in his mind: "Don't look around, be careful not to provoke karma." At
the same time, Long Chen's gaze passed through countless stars, as if entering a time-space tunnel. Soon, a star appeared ahead, and that star kept growing larger.
At the same time, Long Chen saw the shattered stars around him. Because he was closer, he saw traces of battle on them, some already shattered and scattered across the starry sky.
Everywhere he looked, there was desolation, countless stars destroyed, and on some battlefields, the land could still be seen stained red with blood.
Long Chen also saw that beneath those stars, there were thin chains, semi-transparent like spider silk, extending to an unknown place.
"The catastrophe of heaven and earth—the Tianwu Continent is just one of the battlefields. It turns out this is a massive conspiracy." Watching the endless stars shatter, the scene was shocking and made Long Chen's anger surge.
What kind of hatred is this, that such a reckless slaughter of innocent lives is allowed? Is there any justice left in this world?
"Don't look back,"
Long Chen looked in the direction of the threads, as if their roots were right behind him. When he tried to look back, the dragon clan expert stopped him.
"Some things aren't something you should be in contact with right now. That will only make you exposed faster and die faster." The dragon clan expert said with utmost seriousness.
"I understand, junior." Long Chen replied.
The Dragon Clan expert said, "You have awakened the Eye of Purgatory. Once it opens, it will activate the unique dominance of the Nine Star Heirs. This is a completely different kind of power from the Nine Star lineage, apart from the power of the stars."
It is a combination of all negative emotions in the world, a power far surpassing your star power. But once activated, you lose your sanity and become a berserk demon.
So, after you activated the Purgatory Eye that day, you became lawless and had no chance to trace back directly to the source and saw the shadow of Great Brahma.
At that time, you only thought about killing and had become a complete fool, not considering the indescribable gap between the two.
Moreover, the power of purgatory ignites all the suppressed emotions in your heart, making you lose all your kin and only think about killing.
This aura is the most sensitive to those Nine Nether Hunters; they have specialized tools to capture your presence and can quickly locate you.
So, I've temporarily sealed your Eye of Purgatory. It won't be open anytime soon." Only
then did Long Chen recall that when Fairy Dan fell before his eyes, he was overwhelmed with grief. His rage consumed him in an instant, and then he remembered nothing. When he regained his senses, he thought he was already dead.
He had no memory of his state when he activated the Purgatory Eye, nor did he even know what kind of power it was, as if nothing had happened.
"When you were in hell, there was a time when your life was threatened, and it was deep in hell. The Eye of Purgatory was guided by the aura of hell and erupted.
It was the Dragonbone Evil Moon that knocked you out at the critical moment, preventing the Eye of Hell from further eroding your mind.
Dragonbone Evil Moon doesn't know about your Purgatory Eye, but because it's a member of the Dark Clan, it senses a power far more evil and domineering than their own dark power, so it intervened to stop you.
The reason it does this is because it doesn't want you to end up like it, a loner. It has already been unconsciously changed by you and has come to like your life and your world. The dragon clan expert said.
Thinking of Dragonbone Evil Moon, Long Chen's heart ached. The partner he had always trusted most had just left him.
The dragon clan expert continued, "However, the Eye of Purgatory is actually the dark side of your heart. The more you suppress it, the faster it will grow and become stronger."
Therefore, sealing is only temporary. This kind of power should be opened rather loose than blocked; otherwise, if it accumulates over time and erupts, it will be unimaginable.
This is also why the Nine Stars lineage is all a lone star of heavenly calamity, solitary and unfamiliar.
But you, on the other hand, are an outlier among the Nine Star Heirs. As for how to overcome the drawbacks of the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique, in the end, it all depends on yourself. Long
Chen nodded silently in his heart. No one could help him with this kind of thing; everything depended on himself.
"Buzz"—
a star suddenly appeared before his eyes. It was a star full of vitality, with no chains on it.
"This is a pure land, a fish that slipped through the cracks, so here, they will live very well."
As the voices of the dragon clan experts rang out, Long Chen saw that in a certain world, the powerful figures of the Tianwu Continent were exploring everywhere. Since there were no natives in this world, there were many fierce beasts here, and people needed to gather their strength to resist them.
Long Chen saw people begin mining veins and forging weapons to defend against foreign enemies.
Soon, Long Chen saw his parents, saw Long Xiaoyu, and seeing them were safe, he was completely at ease.
In the center of the gathering place, a huge square was built, and in the center of the square stood a statue, with countless people constantly kneeling and worshipping—and that statue was his very name.
