Chapter 1202 The Four Nations Ancient Remnant Opens

Zi Yan had understood at that time the true meaning of a devil star . A devil star was not purely an enemy, but an existence entangled with feelings of love and hatred .

Back in the Eastern Wasteland, Zi Yan had only felt Long Chen to be a confused youth . She hadnt particularly had that much faith in her devil star matter, but she had been curious, so she had begun secretly watching Long Chen . That was when she had seen Long Chen encounter an assassination trap .

Despite clearly knowing the doll-carrying child had been an assassin, he hadnt been able to kill her and had rather allowed her poison needle to stab him through the heart .

He had gently rubbed that girls head without the slightest resentment . Instead, he had treated her warmly and caringly .

The words he had said at that time had permanently branded Long Chens image in Zi Yans mind .

Now, several years had passed . Being focused on the Music Dao, Zi Yan had intentionally hidden these memories, gradually forgetting about her devil star .

But when she once more encountered Long Chen, all those suppressed memories reappeared, as vivid as ever in her mind . The first time she saw Long Chen again, she hadnt been able to stop her heart from pounding .

Furthermore, she had even felt delighted as if she had been expectantly waiting to see him again . Last night when she had been drinking wine with Xia Youluo, she had heard Xia Youluos story about how Long Chen had swindled all this wine . She had actually laughed until she had swayed back and forth, causing the other Illusive Music Immortal Palaces disciples to be shocked .

Music cultivators had to separate themselves from the seven emotions and six desires . Joy, anger, worry, pensiveness, sorrow, fear, shock, each emotion could disturb a music cultivators heart . That was a taboo for music cultivators .

At that time, even Zi Yan had grown afraid . She had forcibly suppressed those emotions . But on the trip to the Wine God Palace with Long Chen, she found that everything she had done was futile . Each glance, each movement from Long Chen affected her heart . No matter how she tried, it was all useless .

Now, Zi Yan understood the true meaning of a devil star . And in front of Long Chens questioning, she finally revealed the whole story .

Now she was begging Long Chen to escape this fate, to avoid fighting to the point of you die or I die . She would rather give up cultivating and accompany Long Chen to old age .

Long Chen looked into Zi Yans eyes . They were completely clear, and he felt like he could see all her secrets . Now he finally knew the whole story .

Sorry, I cant go with you . I still have many things I need to do . Long Chen shook his head .

He wasnt able to do this . He not only had his lovers and hot-blooded brothers, but he also had to find his own biological parents . There was too much on his shoulders .

Tears slowly dripped down Zi Yans face like pearls . They slowly fell to the sides of her lips . This was Zi Yans first time experiencing the taste of tears .

An indescribable feeling of sorrow and grief filled her . She stared at Long Chen blankly, unable to say a thing .

Sorry, apologized Long Chen .

You dont need to say sorry . This was all fated . If a day comes that your corpse lies before me, I ask you not to hate me . In the same way, if there comes a day when your saber cuts off my head, please dont feel grief . I wont hate you .

After saying this, Zi Yans tears gushed forth . She suddenly held Long Chen and began to bawl . The tear-streaked face of this beauty pained Long Chens heart .

Sorry, Long Chen . I am the Illusive Music Immortal Palaces successor . I absolutely cannot betray them . So when we meet again, either you die or I die . I wont show mercy on the battlefield .

After saying this, Zi Yan left without giving him a chance to say anything . Her scent still remained around him, but she had vanished .

Long Chen stood there, unable to comprehend things for a long time . How did such a contrived plot happen to him? Shouldnt it only happen in the melodramatic stories of the Grand Han?

Fate? Decided by the heavens? Long Chen had never believed in such nonsense things only used to con others .

But when Zi Yan had completely opened her heart to him, he had seen the karma . That karma involved Zi Yans master who had told her that she would encounter a devil star in her life, and that she had to kill him .

When we meet again, either you die or I die? What kind of bullshit is this? Long Chen burst into curses . He found it inconceivable that such a melodramatic thing could happen to him . The sudden resentment and blessing had come and gone too quickly . He hadnt even had a chance to clearly feel it before the heavens suddenly slapped him in the face .

The most infuriating thing to him was that he didnt doubt Zi Yans determination to kill him at all . In the end, Zi Yan was a member of the Illusive Music Immortal Palace, and she was loyal to her own Heavenly Dao inheritance . Well, the main thing was, just how had she decided that he was definitely a fiendish devil?

Fuck, how did I end up provoking a killing star?! Long Chen felt like he was going crazy . It couldnt be that the heavens had decided that since it couldnt kill him through heavenly tribulation, it decided to arrange such a terrifying opponent for him?

Long Chen sensed extremely terrifying energy within Zi Yans body . If Zi Yan had decided to kill him right here and now, he probably wouldnt have been able to beat her .

But even though Zi Yan wasnt killing him now, she would quickly break through to the Jade Core realm to become a King . As for Long Chen, he was still stuck at the fourth Heavenstage of Foundation Forging . When he encountered her in the future, she would be even more terrifying .

Zi Yan directly led her people to leave, without even saying goodbye to the Grand Xias royalty . Theoretically, that was very rude, but Long Chen knew that Zi Yans mental realm was too chaotic right now to care about such things .

After she was gone, Long Chen forcibly calmed the ripples that had appeared in his mind . In any case, there were plenty of people who wanted to kill him . One more didnt matter .

That very afternoon, he received a list from the Wine God Palaces disciples . All their wine formulas were written down there .

In total, there were 128 . Long Chen realized the Wine God Palace only had 128 true disciples .

Not only did they send the wine formulas, but also the raw materials to create them and equipment for the winemaking process . Each one of them had also sent a large batch of their wine .

Long Chen got to work . In order to show his sincerity, Long Chen searched through his memory to find at least three ways to combine it with medicine, over five ways to refine it, and over ten ways to merge the Pill Dao into it from the beginning for each wine .

This would make it easier for these disciples to comprehend the Heavenly Daos during the winemaking process . They would be able to comprehend the Heavenly Daos from the two angles of both the Wine Dao and the Pill Dao .

In truth, Long Chen was only able to use a couple dozen wines these disciples gave him . The others werent useful to him . But Long Chen couldnt possibly only exploit those few people while ignoring the others . That wasnt honest .

After all, he was getting a huge advantage . All he gave them was theories, and in the future, he would be able to get as much medicinal wine from the Wine God Palace as he wanted . He had to do this matter perfectly, or he would be too embarrassed to take their wine .

The next day, when Long Chen brought the new formulas he had made to the Wine God Palace, all the disciples were shaken . The Wine God Palace went into complete seclusion, saying that they were no longer accepting any visitors . They had begun researching the formulas Long Chen had given them .

They were quickly infatuated with this way of merging the Pill Dao with the Wine Dao . They found that this new winemaking process allowed their realms to rapidly advance .

Long Chens methods immediately won the High Priests trust . He told Long Chen that the medicinal wines he needed would be supplied limitlessly by the Wine God Palace .

As for Long Chen, he was truly brazen . He even gave the High Priest dozens of medicinal formulas for his own wine . Although the High Priests wine was basically flawless, which person who had reached the pinnacle didnt want to continue taking another step forward? Long Chen wrote out top tier medicinal formulas he had in his Pill Sovereign memories in accordance with the particularities of the High Priests wine .

Although it was very likely that none of these medicinal formulas would work out in the end, testing their luck was good too . What if it really did work?

Furthermore, the High Priest was old and bored . He wouldnt mind researching this .

Due to the Wine God Palace becoming busy with Long Chens matter, Han Wenjun was unable to wait any longer . He had been waiting for the news from the Wine God Palace this entire time, because the High Priest had told him that he would think about it .

But after seven days of constantly inquiring about the state of things, even the welcoming disciple at the gates was irritated . He sent a message higher up, and he got a direct reply: the Wine God Palace had no intention of opening a branch within the next ten years . They could ask again after ten years .

They had pushed him off for ten years in one go . Han Wenjuns expression became unsightly .

He had had two goals in coming here . One was to seduce Xia Youluo in hopes of forming a deep relationship with her . Originally, this matter was supposed to be a cinch, but Long Chen had ruined things .

Now, although Xia Youluo didnt hate Han Wenjun, he could no longer sense that intense passion from back then .

Although Han Wenjun invited Xia Youluo to go out to play and Xia Youluo always agreed, she would bring along the other princesses as well, making it so he couldnt use his melodramatic pick-up arts .

As for his second goal in coming here, that was to form a good relationship with the Wine God Palace, using his wine arts to win their favor and invite them to his Grand Han in order to spread the culture of wine . If the Wine God Palace joined the Grand Han, the entire nation would grow .

This was also a good thing to the Wine God Palace, but it had also been stopped by Long Chen . How could Han Wenjun possibly wait ten years?

In the end, the next day after the Wine God Palace gave him this reply, Han Wenjun and Li Wanji chose to return to the Grand Han . Long Chen was in charge of sending them to the gates, completely finishing his duty of receiving them .

Pavilion master, both my goals were ruined . What about your side? Within the carriage, Han Wenjun was facing Xuan Jizi, who had been missing this entire time .

Ive handled everything on my end, said Xuan Jizi .

Good . This humiliation the Grand Xia gave me, Ill make them pay the price within the Four Nations Ancient Remnant . Killing intent burned in Han Wenjuns eyes .

After finishing off his duty of receiving the Grand Hans delegation, Long Chen spent the majority of his time in the Wine God Palace . The disciples needed guidance during the winemaking process .

Although Long Chen knew nothing about winemaking, when it came to refining pills, he could be rated as unmatched beneath the heavens . Living in the Wine God Palace was convenient, and he would occasionally go drinking with Tu Qianshang . These days were very comfortable .

On this day, Xia Youluo and Xia Yunchong came to the Wine God Palace . They saw Long Chen and Tu Qianshang bare-chested, covered in sweat, both of their eyes red .

Men in the country wander! Who doesnt carry a blade? With one slash Ill kill you, with three slashes Ill kill you Hahaha, youve lost, drink! Long Chen laughed crazily .

Xia Yunchong was speechless . Long Chen really was a monster . Looking at the fattys expression refusing to admit defeat, Xia Yunchong truly doubted whether he really was a legendary figure .

He braced himself and announced, Long Chen, thats about enough . The Four Nations Ancient Remnant will open tomorrow, so prepare yourself . Were moving out .
