Chapter 6116 Go!
From Long Chen’s finger, specks of starlight started to condense on Su Yu’s forehead, slowly merging into her mind-sea.
It wasn’t long before specks of starlight appeared all over her. As her aura fluctuated, the starlight transformed into astral energy that flowed through her limbs.
Long Chen didn’t waste time explaining the Starry River of the Sky Art in detail. Instead, he branded it directly into her body using astral energy, imprinting the entire technique within her. She could digest it later—what mattered now was laying the foundation.
After two hours, the transmission was complete.
Su Yu slowly opened her eyes, sensing the starlight coursing through her. A foreign yet powerful energy transformed her from the inside out. It felt as if she had been reborn.
She was so excited that she got on her knees once more, but Long Chen lifted her up, smiling.
“I’ve finished transmitting the cultivation technique. In the future, we are simply friends. There’s no need for formalities.”
Su Yu was deeply moved to have learned the Starry River Sage’s peerless divine cultivation technique. It felt like a huge meat pie had just fallen on her head—so big that it left her dazed.
“Just remember that you are a disciple of the Starry River Sage. Once you’ve trained to a certain level, you will be qualified to spread his teachings,” said Long Chen.
“You… you mean… I can transmit this technique to others?” Su Yu asked, staring at Long Chen in disbelief.
She knew full well that high-level cultivation techniques were considered top-secret in the cultivation world. In fact, learning or teaching them without permission was a grave crime—an unforgivable betrayal in any sect.
Even in the Four Cardinal Alliance, their best techniques and divine abilities had strict restrictions. Passing them on to others was absolutely forbidden.
“The Starry River of the Sky Art has no such taboos,” Long Chen said. “The more people who cultivate it, the better. You’ll understand why in time. For now, continue training. Circulate your astral energy, get used to it—but be careful. This power is explosive. If you get injured while adjusting to it, it will be troublesome.”
“Yes.”
Su Yu immediately started circulating the Starry River of the Sky Art. She seemed to have completely forgotten about the crisis outside.
Long Chen returned to cultivating as well, though part of his awareness remained fixed on the world beyond the walls.
…
Three days passed.
Long Chen could now activate eighty percent of the second silver rod’s weight runes. Now, he felt full of confidence. His strength had grown to the point that it felt like his body would explode if he didn’t unleash it.
Meanwhile, Su Yu had entered a profound state of transformation. Starlight flowed gently around her, and behind her, a radiant starry river shimmered into existence. Even Long Chen couldn’t help but admire her talent.
Had she grown up in a place like Sovereign Mountain, she would have been on par with a Spirit Awakener. Her talent was wasted in the Four Cardinal Alliance.
Despite being someone countless sects would fight over, she chose to stay loyal to this struggling alliance.
If it weren’t for Long Chen, this talent of hers would have been buried for a lifetime. But now, it was finally starting to blossom, and her rate of advancement shocked even Long Chen.
Just then, the barrier and the entire city were trembling. Startled cries rang out across the streets.
Long Chen and Su Yu immediately rushed out of the cultivation room.
Outside, countless devil creatures were assaulting the barrier—first Heavenstage Sovereign Lords at the front, followed by a wave of second Heavenstage Sovereign Lords.
Their combined power caused the entire barrier to ripple and quake. Inside the city, all the experts turned pale.
“How is this possible?!”
Su Yu’s expression changed dramatically. At first, they had only faced Divine Emperor-level devil creatures. A few first Heavenstage Sovereign Lords appeared later, but this…
Now the entire front line consisted of first Heavenstage Sovereign Lords, and behind them, hundreds of second Heavenstage Sovereign Lords had arrived.
To say she wasn’t afraid would be a lie. If the barrier fell, there would be no survivors.
“Where are our reinforcements!? It’s been days!”
“Have we been abandoned?”
“The barrier won’t last long against so many devil creatures. We’re going to die…”
Panic spread like wildfire through the city. Even City Lord Li Dongcheng looked grim.
“Keep sending out the distress signal!” he ordered from atop the city walls, turning to an elder beside him.
The elder shook his head. With a heavy voice filled with despair, he replied, “City Lord, we’ve been broadcasting the signal nonstop. They’ve received it… but… this is the result.”
…
At that moment, deep within a concealed chamber of the city, a jade plate glowed furiously, releasing an ear-piercing alarm.
However, its sound and energy were dampened by layers of formations. The guards stationed outside had no idea what was happening within.
Within the darkness, a certain figure let out a cold, sinister smile. The frantic pulsing of the distress signal only made him more pleased.
…
With no other option, Li Dongcheng went to find Long Chen.
“Young friend Mo Nian,” said Li Dongcheng, approaching Long Chen with a heavy expression, “something must be wrong with our distress signal. No reinforcements have arrived even after all this time, nor have they answered our call. The city is at its limit. Once our spirit stones are depleted, the barrier will fall… and we’ll all be slaughtered. Do you have any methods of dealing with this crisis?”
Li Dongcheng had investigated and learned that Mo Nian was not some nameless figure. He had participated in the assault of the ten thousand races. Furthermore, his combat achievements stood out amongst the masses.
In this dire situation, Li Dongcheng could only ask for Mo Nian’s help. Perhaps he had another way of calling reinforcements or some way to deal with their predicament.
Before Long Chen could reply, Elder Xu looked at him and sneered, “All this trouble started after he arrived. I’d say these devil creatures came because of him.”
Su Yu was instantly enraged, but Long Chen held her back with a hand.
Looking at this donkey-faced elder, Long Chen said, “Elder Xu, you’ve been so calm from the start. I’ve never seen you worried in the slightest, as if everything is under your control. You wouldn’t happen to have a plan, would you?”
“Me? What plan could I possibly have? Do you think an old man like me would be afraid of death? In the worst case, we will charge out together. I can use my body to buy time for the children of the Four Cardinal Alliance to survive a bit longer!” declared Elder Xu.
Hearing this, quite a few people were impressed. Despite his annoying personality, perhaps he really was willing to die for the alliance.
“Wow, how noble!” Long Chen exclaimed, clapping once. “Then let’s give you a chance to prove it.”
Without warning, Long Chen’s hand shot out. Elder Xu didn’t even have time to resist before an irresistible force lifted him into the air by the throat.
“What are you doing?! Release Elder Xu!” Li Dongcheng and the others shouted in shock and anger.
“Go!”
Long Chen waved his hand and sent Elder Xu flying.
Pop.
With a light sound, Elder Xu passed through the barrier like a stone skipping through water—and landed right in the midst of the devil creatures.
