Chapter 608: Yellow Emperor Seal
Jiang Wuya quickly recovered while the others worked hard on their respective jobs, especially Chi Ying. He took an entire day to prepare the information on not only Martial Overlord City, but also on Chen Guangjun. Long Chen needed it to impersonate him.
He quickly memorized everything. With Lan Xiang’er’s help, he started to disguise himself and was completely transformed into Chen Guangjun in a single day.
He had to prepare properly to save Long Yue. He needed to memorize the layout of Martial Overlord City, as well as the location of the Nine Spirit Purgatory.
At the same time, Long Chen also learned that Long Yue had indeed been captured by the Martial Overlord and thrown into the Nine Spirit Purgatory along with the other Long Chen. The news about Liu Yiyi’s marriage was true too. Jiang Wuxie had forced the arranged marriage, but the Clear Shallows King refused. She was severely beaten by Jiang Wuxie as a result of her protest.
After reading the news, Long Chen was angered to the point that he would beat up the Demon Emperor if he had gone to the Ancient Demon Domain. He now had the strength to do so.
News of him had spread throughout the Divine Martial Empire. There weren’t two geniuses, but three now.
Two of them were coincidentally called Long Chen.
But Long Chen was more famous than Long Yue’s brother because he had killed someone at the Third Earthly Martial Stage, which the other two had not accomplished.
There were only two Martial Emperors left in the Martial Alliance. It was surprising that the Martial Overlord had done nothing.No one dared to question the strong Martial Alliance.
Long Chen soon finished his preparations, and Jiang Wuxie recovered.
Long Chen was currently wearing a golden robe with a large “Martial” character embroidered on the front. He was also a middle-aged man with a yellow face and stubble. His body was also much more robust and taller. Long Chen had copied the appearance, voice, and even behavior of Chen Guangjun closely. No one would guess that he was Long Chen.
Long Chen looked very different from Chen Guangjun, but Lan Xiang’er’s technique had turned him into the other person. It was clear her techniques were extraordinary.
“Wow, you look similar. No, actually, you look the same.” Lei Zhen and the others were surprised by how Long Chen looked and acted.
Long Chen checked himself out in the mirror and felt confident. Chen Guangjun had only been missing for a few weeks and couldn’t be considered a deserter to the Martial Alliance. He only needed to tell the others that he had been injured by a King-tier beast and hid himself to recover before he returned to Martial Overlord City.
He doubted that anyone would scrutinize his excuse since the Martial Alliance recently made such a large move against the Battle clan. The Martial Alliance was a massive force with forty other Martial Kings. There were also a lot of people advancing into the Earthly Martial Realm.
It was time to depart.
Before they left, Long Chen cultivated some of Chen Guangjun’s martial techniques. Chen Guangjun’s strongest technique was an elementary King-tier blade technique. He soon learned it and used the blade that the original Chen Guangjun had used before. Lan Xiang’er had looted it from Chen Guangjun’s corpse.
Lan Xiang’er had a habit of making masks and usually used the corpses of Martial Alliance cultivators. This habit was useful from time to time, and since they needed it to be very convincing, she usually took everything.
Long Chen was not worried about being found out with Lan Xiang’er’s technique.
“Alright, not even Chen Guangjun’s wife would be able to tell you’re an imposter. But just to be safe, try to avoid going back to his home.” Lan Xiang’er crossed her arms and looked at her masterpiece.
They set off.
Before they did, Lei Zhen called for them. “Wait, there’s something I need to tell everyone.”
“What is it?” Jiang Wuya was curious.
Lei Zhen answered, “We’ve been trying to locate the Five Emperor Seals, but we only managed to get the Azure Emperor Seal, which is with our Eldest Sister. My father actually found the Yellow Emperor Seal by chance, and he gave it to me before he died.”
They never had much hope of finding all five seals, but they smiled when they heard what Lei Zhen told them. “Good. Once we rescue our Eldest sister, we will then have two of the five seals.”
Chi Ying frowned. “Everyone, there’s another piece of news. When our Eldest Sister lost to the Martial Overlord, the Azure Emperor Seal was taken away. I heard that the Martial Overlord has the Golden Emperor Seal as well.”
“So Zhao Wuji has two of them now. If he had all five, we would be in trouble.”
Long Chen decided to tell them the truth about him having the other two seals. They were his sworn brothers and sisters and Lei Zhen had been truthful to them, so there was no reason for him to hide it.
While everyone was frowning at the disconcerting news, Long Chen said, “Everyone, I have something to say.”
Lei Zhen was curious. “What is it?”
“Of the Five Emperor Seals, the Azure and Golden Emperor Seals are in Zhao Wuji’s clutch. The Yellow Emperor Seal is in Fourth Brother’s possession. I have the Black and Scarlet Emperor Seals with me.”
He then pulled the seals from the Primordial Realm.
It was an astonishing piece of news. None of them believed Long Chen at first, but they did after they saw the two seals.
“Sorry for hiding this …” Long Chen smiled bitterly.
While it was the truth, they still couldn’t quite believe it. Jiang Wuxie was perplexed. “You were in the Ancient Demon Domain, so I could understand how you obtained the Black Emperor Seal, but how did you get the Scarlet Emperor Seal?”
“Didn’t you say that even Sister Long Yue couldn’t endure the solar fire to get the Scarlet Emperor Seal?” Lan Xiang’er was confused too.
Long Chen said, “I managed to get the Scarlet Emperor Seal because I have a special body, but I was still new at that time, so I wasn’t familiar with everyone …”
Jiang Wuya laughed. “It’s normal that you were wary of us since you joined us last. Don’t worry, we don’t covet the technique. We just thought that it would be bad for the Martial Overlord to have it because we might get killed if he manages to collect all five.”
Lei Zhen nodded. “Good. Now that we have the Scarlet, Black, and Yellow Emperor Seals, we only need to snatch the other two from the Martial Overlord and we will have all five.”
Jiang Wuya nodded. “We cannot let the others know that Seventh Brother has the other two seals. I think the Martial Overlord is looking for any news on the three remaining seals. If he finds out that we have them, we are as good as dead. We just barely saved the Battle clan and managed to establish our base, so we cannot die now.”
Everyone nodded.
Long Chen nodded too. He could not let anyone else know about the news. He still didn’t have the power necessary to defeat the Martial Overlord. so he could not afford to spread the news yet, but once he had the strength, it would be a simple matter to collect the last two seals.
Five Emperor Seals and five prismatic keys. Long Chen had a feeling that once he cultivated the Emperor-tier Five Emperor Seal, his strength would increase exponentially. It would be of great help for him when he entered the Ancient Graveyard to find the treasure of the Five Emperors.
Emperor-tier martial techniques were cultivated by those at the Heavenly Martial Realm. Even the name itself sounded incredibly strong. Long Chen knew that he would benefit greatly just by cultivating it.
The Earthly Martial Realm, the Heavenly Martial Realm, and the Divine Martial Realm. Long Chen was only at the start, so there was still a long way to go to reach the Divine Martial Realm.
It had been three or four months since Ling Xi left him. Half a year had passed by in a flash. Could Long Chen stand proudly in front of her within ten years?
Even Ling Xi’s grandmother was beyond strong. Her faction, the Swordsoul Palace, sounded frightening. One of the Three Emperor Territories was the Swordsoul Territory. It was clear that the Swordsoul Palace was the one governing that territory.
The Divine Martial Empire and the Ten Thousand Nations Territory were jokes to the Swordsoul Palace.
Long Chen clenched his fists.
Gathering the Five Emperor Seals was an incredible chance for him to become stronger. He could not let it fall into the hands of the Martial Overlord.
Once they were instructed on what to do, Long Chen decided to leave for his mission.
After thinking about it, Lei Zhen came to a decision. “I will find a remote place to bury the Yellow Emperor Seal to prevent the Martial Overlord from obtaining all five of them. We can unearth it after we get the two remaining seals. What do you think?”
