Chapter 791

Long Chen nodded . The pain of having one’s soul torn was definitely not something ordinary people could endure . The seven star red spider lily nectar was the only thing capable of quickly stopping the pain . It was very reasonable for them to be looking for it .

Originally, he wanted to refuse . But looking at their imploring expressions, and especially since they had taken this risk to help heal someone, he couldn’t bring himself to say no . Furthermore, he saw that the strange light on their bodies was weakening them . Otherwise, they would have been able to flee from those five .

“Fine, I can accompany you for a stroll . Hopefully it won’t take too long, because I still have things to do,” said Long Chen .

“Don’t worry, big brother, that seven star red spider lily nectar is right within these mountains . It should just require a bit of time!” said the one man excitedly upon seeing Long Chen agree .

Just now, Long Chen had killed four Celestials in one blow . They hadn’t even been able to resist . Furthermore, from their terrified gazes, it was obvious that Long Chen was an absolutely terrifying figure . If Long Chen helped them, they would have an absolute assurance of safety .

Since he had agreed, Long Chen followed them back to their original location . According to them, there was a nearby mountain valley that was guaranteed to have the lily .

“Big brother, I’m Xiao Fei, and she is Xiao Yu . Dare I ask big brother’s name?” asked the young man .

“Long Chen . ”

“Big brother Long Chen, the mountain valley is up ahead . If it weren’t for the invaders- ah, sorry big brother Long Chen . ” The young man realized he had misspoken and hastily apologized .

“It’s fine . ” Long Chen shook his head . He didn’t mind if they called him an invader .

“If it weren’t for them, you would have already obtained it?” asked Long Chen .

“Yes . ”

“You really were unlucky then . This place is quite a bit off the main path . There shouldn’t have been anyone here, but in this large of place, you still managed to run into them . That kind of bad luck can count as heaven-defying . ”

“Hehe, you can’t put it like that . Didn’t we also run into you? That means our luck is not bad,” laughed the woman . She had already recovered from her shock and fear .

Long Chen looked at the light coming from their bodies and wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words in the end . He didn’t want to ask about their secrets . That was taboo .

“In truth, we…” Xiao Fei saw Long Chen’s actions, and after a moment’s hesitation, he opened his mouth to explain .

“We’ve arrived . Let’s split up to look for it, but don’t go too far . Everyone remains within sight of each other . If you run into anything dangerous, let out a shout . ” Long Chen cut him off .

Xiao Fei was grateful . Long Chen was trying not to make it hard on him . After all, this related to the aboriginals’ secrets . If he explained it to an invader, he would be considered a sinner .

The three of them entered the mountain valley and spread out . They stayed within a few miles of each other so Long Chen could handle any sudden changes .

The seven star red spider lily nectar was actually a dewdrop condensed from the lily . Once this liquid was condensed, it would rest on the pistil of the flower for seven days . After seven days, it would naturally fall and land on the ground .

The essence in the dewdrop would be absorbed by the earth . Then it would be reabsorbed by the lily . Three months later, a new dewdrop would form . The cycle continued to repeat endlessly .

The red spider lily went from one star to seven stars . Seven stars was the peak, a seventh tier medicinal ingredient . It had already gone almost extinct in the outside world .

Long Chen traveled several miles, and he quickly found a three star red spider lily . But it was useless . One reason was that it hadn’t condensed a dewdrop, and another was that if it hadn’t reached the seven star level, its dewdrop would be useless .

He pulled that three star red spider lily into the primal chaos space . He was just about to see if he could make it grow to the seven star level when Xiao Fei’s startled cry rang out . Long Chen hastily shot over, his saber appearing in his hand .

But when he arrived, he didn’t even see a ghost by Xiao Fei’s side . He hadn’t encountered any attack . Seeing him completely fine, Long Chen rebuked, “What are you shouting for? You made me think something happened . ”

Xiao Fei reddened and he apologized, “Sorry, I was too emotional . I saw a seven star red spider lily nectar!” He pointed to a three-foot-tall lily . There was a thumb-sized dewdrop on it .

That dewdrop sparkled like a jewel . It reflected their three images perfectly like it was crystal .

“This is amazing!” cried Xiao Fei . But he quickly realized that Long Chen was just staring at the dewdrop, lost in thought . What was he thinking? He gently pulled on him . “Big brother Long Chen, what is it?”

“The seven star red spider lily is actually a branch of the Paramita Flower . As there can be up to seven starry spots on its leaves, it received the name of the seven star red spider lily .

“Although it isn’t the true Paramita Flower, as long as the flower remains undamaged, the dewdrop will undergo a perpetual cycle of reincarnation . It contains the essence of life .

“When you stand on top of the petal, looking at the ground, you will be full of fear because you’ll feel like landing on the ground signifies death .

“But a few months later, the dewdrops essence will be reabsorbed, and the red spider lily will condense the dewdrop again . Would you still be you? Or would you no longer be the old you?”

For some unknown reason, Long Chen felt endless emotion when he looked at that dewdrop . It felt like he had suddenly reached a higher comprehension of the true essence of life .

If a red spider lily had ten stars, it would be called the flower of reincarnation, the Paramita Flower . It was said that the true Paramita Flower would bloom for a thousand years . Then its flower would wilt, and its leaves would grow . The blossom and the leaves would forever cycle, never to see each other .

For some unknown reason, Long Chen was filled with pain and sorrow as he looked at this lily . He felt a heart-wrenching pain .

This was a seven star red spider lily, not the Paramita Flower . It only had a slight relationship to the Paramita Flower . Its flower and leaves were completely different . But Long Chen couldn’t help feeling grief .

“Is it the Pill God memories?” Long Chen’s heart was heavy . Ever since he had awakened those incomplete Pill God memories, their effect on him had lessened, as his cultivation base had increased .

But today, he felt an emotion that was difficult to describe . He felt extremely sad .

He still understood far too little about the Pill God memories and the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . Touching his spatial ring, he took out a small bamboo straw . It was a special straw that could isolate the outside world’s aura . It was the best tool for storing medicinal liquid .

Long Chen carefully extracted the dewdrop and gave it to Xiao Fei .

“Thank you, big brother Long Chen!” Xiao Fei was endlessly grateful .

Long Chen smiled slightly . He was just about to say something when he smashed his fist behind him .

BOOM!

Long Chen’s fist struck a spear . The entire ground trembled . A powerful qi wave directly sent Xiao Fei and Xiao Yu flying .

Long Chen was startled . This attack had contained incredible power . Without even thinking about, his saber slashed behind him .

Only now did he have a chance to see his ambusher . It was a tall man with a powerful aura . He was clearly startled, not expecting Long Chen to have managed to block his attack .

“Sea Expansion Celestial . ” Long Chen was startled . This aura of his was as vast as a sea . But some kind of strange law was suppressing it .

Long Chen’s saber was like berserk lightning . Its angle was perfectly the most difficult angle for the man to block . It was too late for him to block with his spear . He suddenly used his arms to knock aside the saber .

BOOM! The large man’s sleeves were torn apart and sent flying . Long Chen’s saber shook . It had actually been blocked by his arms .

Long Chen was startled . What kind of person could use just their bare arms to block his attack? But then he saw the arm protectors he was wearing .

But although that person managed to block, he still wasn’t able to resist Long Chen’s immense power . He lost his balance and was sent flying .

Long Chen shot after him . His afterimage suddenly blurred as he appeared behind the large man . His saber once more slashed down .

“Big brother Long Chen, don’t!” Xiao Fei and Xiao Yu both shouted in panic .

But it was too late . Long Chen was just too fast . His saber was already slashing toward that man’s back .

The man was like a shooting star . He slammed into the ground and continued for several miles . The entire mountain valley shook and half of it collapsed . He vomited a mouthful of blood, but he didn’t die .

Xiao Fei and Xiao Yu both sighed with relief . They were pale with fright . There were over ten people by their side now, and their leader was a woman in her late twenties who looked vigilantly at Long Chen .

“Next time, can you shout faster?” Long Chen swung his blade, a bit speechless .

When those two had shouted, Long Chen had realized the situation had turned sour . But it had been too late to stop his attack . So at that moment, he had reversed his saber, using the back of it to send that person flying . Otherwise, he would be dead .

Xiao Fei patted his pounding heart . Just now, he really had been terrified . He hadn’t expected Long Chen to be so powerful . Even a Sea Expansion Celestial couldn’t last a single breath against him .

“Just who are you? What’s your goal in getting close to Xiao Fei?” the lead woman asked icily, staring cautiously at Long Chen .

曼珠沙华 man zhu sha hua = red spider lily . 彼岸花 bi an hua = Paramita Flower . In Chinese, 彼岸花 is another way of saying red spider lily . Paramita is literally ‘other side’, ‘getting to the other shore’ .

The most popular concept of Paramita is that the mundane life is a ‘sea of bitterness’, and Paramita involves crossing the sea to reach the other shore, which is normally done through enlightenment .
