Chapter 7108 Karmic Luck Dragon Manifestation
The first academy? The first academy has the sweeping elder standing guard. What could possibly happen there?
Zheng Wenlong handed over the report from the academy. As he looked through it, a freezing chill tinged Long Chen’s gaze. Apparently, the sweeping elder had left the first academy before the long night fell, leaving the two vice deans in charge of the first academy.
Originally, the first academy had been very low-key. They had not provoked any trouble with the outside world. But once the sun came back up, for some reason, massive amounts of karmic luck began to gather into the first academy.
The higher-ups were overjoyed by this. This showed that the first academy was still blessed by the Heavenly Daos. However, their delight quickly turned into horror. The amount of karmic luck gathering was simply too great, and it refused to stop flowing.
At first, they were able to rely on their formations to keep the karmic luck contained. They thought that after it reached a certain level, it would start to decline. But the flow of karmic luck only grew greater. Even after doing everything they could to keep it suppressed and contained, they couldn’t stop the karmic luck from leaking outside eventually.
When that happened, everyone was shaken. Normally, the descent of karmic luck was practically a meat pie falling from the sky, but this meat pie turned out to be a massive millstone coming down with crushing force.
If it was just some karmic luck leaking out, it wouldn’t be a major problem. After all, every supreme faction had their own trump cards. Adding on the accumulation of countless years of preparation, a karmic luck blessing from the Heavenly Daos wasn’t rare. Such a situation had also occurred in the divine capital—if Long Chen hadn’t used up such a large amount for his own breakthrough, this karmic luck would have already started leaking as well.
However, for the first academy, it wasn’t merely a matter of some karmic luck leaking. It had actually formed a karmic luck dragon manifestation! A massive golden dragon was coiled in the air above the first academy. It shone like the sun, visible from vast distances away.
Such dragon manifestations were signs that a place was blessed by the Heavenly Daos. They were not a new phenomenon; they always appeared during momentous times. Any faction with a karmic luck dragon manifestation could be said to be chosen by the heavens.
However, to be chosen by the heavens was not necessarily a blessing. In fact, it often led to calamity. If there was a pack of beggars by the roadside, and a wealthy man suddenly gave one of them a large cake, could that person manage to hold onto it long enough to eat it? Or would they be immediately swarmed and crushed by the others?
Throughout history, the karmic luck dragon manifestation had appeared many times, and every time, it brought catastrophe upon many of the chosen ones. Only a small number of forces were able to rely on their immense power to protect themselves after a karmic luck dragon manifestation. The majority failed to protect the karmic luck and themselves, and were ultimately destroyed.
The karmic luck dragon manifestation was not simply a display of the favor of the Heavenly Daos. It was also a cruel test—protect it and prosper, fail to protect it and lose everything.
The karmic luck dragon manifestation would definitely appear over other factions soon. However, the first ones it appeared over would definitely be in the most danger. Many powerful forces wished to have a karmic luck dragon manifestation, but all of them hoped to avoid being among the first to get one. They had been lying low for countless years, and not only had they accumulated a massive amount of power, they had an excess of disciples. Even if there was no reason to fight, they would create one just to send out their excess fighters and save resources. They certainly did not wish to be targeted because of karmic luck, and at the same time, they targeted whoever was the unlucky one to get a dragon manifestation first.
As it turned out, the first academy was the first force to have a karmic luck dragon manifestation appear over them in the Sovereign Emperor Heaven!
The two vice deans had thus immediately sent a request for aid to the head academy. They also entrusted the Huayun Trading Company with sending word to Long Chen. After all, Long Chen was the dean of the first academy. He had to come back and settle this affair, or they wouldn’t be able to survive on their own.
Long Chen couldn’t help sighing. “It really is just one thing after another!”
He had only just gotten started in the Primal Chaos World and still had many things to settle, but now, the first academy was in trouble.
He definitely couldn’t wait too long to return to the first academy. Otherwise, there was no need for Lord Brahma or the outsider devils to do anything. Everyone in the Sovereign Emperor Heaven would be tempted to seize this karmic luck for themselves.
Right now, Long Chen held the title of dean of the first academy. The first academy could be said to be his home. If his home was trampled, it would be a complete humiliation for him. And although they had requested reinforcements from the head academy, the head academy might not be able to do anything for them. After all, there were many branch academies for them to deal with.
Before Long Chen came to the Primal Chaos World, the sweeping elder had hinted that the High Firmament Academy was finally about to start showing the power it had been secretly storing up over countless years. Long Chen guessed that the High firmament Academy had long since made plans for the long night and for whatever came after. In fact, it was quite likely that the karmic luck dragon manifestation was connected to these plans.
If they wished to recover their former glory, they would have to reopen all their branch academies. And if that was the case, they were bound to be truly busy these days. They were probably under immense pressure. If Long Chen was unable to handle his own academy, then what good was his title of dean?
“Brother Wenlong, help me arrange things! I want to pay a visit to the Tea Saint Dao Temple, the Wine God Palace, the Calligraphy Sect, the Tiger Venerate line, and the Starry River Palace! Time is tight, and this is important. I will immediately go to the Jiuli Divine Realm and the Violet Abyss. I should be back in four hours!” said Long Chen.
“I will immediately set things up! But you should prepare yourself. The opponents you’re facing this time might be a bit troublesome...” warned Zheng Wenlong.
Long Chen smiled slightly and patted Zheng Wenlong’s shoulder. “My hands are stained with the blood of the Jiuli race and the violet blood race, and they are my people. Do you think I’ll hold back against some unrelated idiots?”
Zheng Wenlong shook his head in a somewhat despondent manner. “I know you’re not afraid. But Lord Brahma will definitely wage war against you in the court of public opinion. There will be countless people in the nine heavens and ten lands who denounce you.”
For Zheng Wenlong to say this, he had definitely heard some rumors already. Although it wasn’t confirmed, it seemed that the situation did not bode well.
Long Chen indifferently said, “The Grand Dao is like a massive millstone rolling down a mountain. Whoever stands in its path will be crushed. I have been taking this as an example lately, and I find that is the optimal solution to my problems. If anyone is in a rush to reincarnate, there’s nothing else I can do about it!”
Zheng Wenlong relaxed when he heard this. “It seems I was worried for nothing. Brother Long, your Dao-heart is like a boulder. No one can shake it.”
It went without saying that Zheng Wenlong was a master of his own path. Although he wasn’t powerful in combat, his vision was very sharp.
He had always felt that there was a large shadow deep in Long Chen’s heart. And if he could see it, could it be that the likes of Lord Brahma wouldn’t be able to see it? He brought up this warning just so Long Chen could be prepared for Lord Brahma turning others against him. Yet it seemed that Long Chen’s Dao comprehension had led him to a decisive conclusion in this respect. Whatever happened, it would not impact him.
“Alright, I’ll go arrange things now!” Zheng Wenlong knew Long Chen was in a rush, so he didn’t keep him. He immediately set off. There were some secret transportation formations that required a certain level of authority to use, and he had to personally handle those.
“Long Chen, let me come with you to the first academy!” said Zi Yan.
Long Chen smiled. “Even if you didn’t ask, I’d bring you. You’re my strongest trump card now!”
Zi Yan was delighted. They had been apart for far too long, and now that they could finally be together, she could not be happier.
Long Chen called over the vice sect master and gave her a few instructions. After leaving a message for Li Yixuan, he and Zi Yan left the divine capital.
