Chapter 1268: Chapter 1262: The Secret of Blood Jade

Thank you, "Dreams Still Have Unextinguished Conscience" brother, for your support and encouragement!

"Senior?" Li Changlin softly called out, but there was no response from within.

After hesitating slightly, Li Changlin stepped inside.

When his phone’s light landed on the person’s body, Li Changlin realized the individual had already been dead for a long time.

In front of the body, there was a rustic jade box, with a yellowed piece of paper pressed beneath it.

Curious, Li Changlin raised his hand, pushed the jade box aside, and looked down at the paper.

The writing described the identity and some past experiences of the deceased.

Sure enough, it matched the legends—the deceased was none other than the ancestor of the Long Family.

Three hundred years ago, Long Mo was the Long Family’s once-in-a-century prodigy. At thirty years old, he became a Void Force expert; by fifty, he reached Half-step Inch Strength and traveled the world seeking the chance to ascend to Inch Strength.

Rumor had it that Shenlong Continent had its own rules—Inch Force experts were not allowed to remain on the continent for long. This was because, in ancient times, a powerful being had cursed Shenlong Continent’s martial artists.

Long Mo didn’t believe this, and by chance acquired a piece of Blood Jade, transformed from dragon’s blood, containing a trace of the divine spirit and consciousness of an ancient Heavenly Dragon.

Through this consciousness, Long Mo learned of events that had occurred in ancient times.

As the guardian deity of Shenlong Continent, the Heavenly Dragon once roamed freely and carelessly across Heaven and Earth.

However, one day, a group of cultivators came from Earth, shattering the peace of Shenlong Continent.

These cultivators split into two factions, leading to a war on Shenlong Continent, which inadvertently harmed countless innocent lives.

The Heavenly Dragon, in order to protect its sanctuary, was forced to engage in battle with these cultivators. Although it slew many, the opposing forces wielded Divine Artifacts, and in the end, the Heavenly Dragon perished under the siege of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts.

Before dying, the Heavenly Dragon used its unparalleled powers to establish the rules of Heaven and Earth, making it impossible for those above Inch Strength to survive on Shenlong Continent.

Through this measure, it hoped to curb the influence of powerful beings and ensure the peace of Shenlong Continent.

It was then that Long Mo understood why Blood Jade existed—it was formed where the Heavenly Dragon’s blood fell onto the earth, creating extraordinary pieces of Blood Jade.

These Blood Jade pieces were imbued with miraculous properties. According to the Heavenly Dragon’s divine consciousness, if a martial artist could fuse with the Blood Jade, they could break Shenlong Continent’s laws and freely survive on the continent even after ascending to Inch Strength.

However, merging with Blood Jade was unimaginably difficult. Although Long Mo was strong, even he could do nothing with the Blood Jade.

At some point, for reasons unknown, news of Long Mo’s Blood Jade reached Jingcheng’s Cheng Family, who dispatched ten Half-step Inch Strength experts to ambush him.

Gravely injured, Long Mo hid in Dragon Stone Mountain without daring to emerge. Ultimately, he succumbed to his wounds, leaving behind endless regret.

It must be said that Long Mo was extraordinarily fortunate—back then, the Long Family had only been a third-rate Ancient Martial Arts force. Through sheer chance, he had managed to reach Half-step Inch Strength by fifty, a talent that even the top clans of the Eight Great Families couldn’t match.

However, the foundation of the Eight Great Families was incomparably strong.

Despite Long Mo’s exceptional talent, the Cheng Family effortlessly sent over a dozen Half-step Inch Strength experts to kill him.

This event served as a brutal lesson for Long Mo, who deeply understood the dangers of "a piece of jade brings guilt to its bearer."

At the same time, he harbored immense hatred toward the Cheng Family’s unscrupulous actions.

Still, no matter how much hatred burned in his heart, Long Mo was powerless against such a clan.

It was not only the Cheng Family’s ability to casually dispatch a dozen Half-step Inch Strength experts.

It was also possible that this family harbored terrifying Inch Force masters.

While Long Mo was fortunate enough to acquire the extraordinary Blood Jade, as one of the Eight Great Families, the Cheng Family was equally capable of obtaining it.

If they happened to secure Blood Jade containing the Heavenly Dragon’s divine consciousness, they too could learn how to break the rules.

Yet, Long Mo’s heart was ultimately filled with profound unwillingness. Thus, he painstakingly recorded years’ worth of research before his death and left the Blood Jade behind, hoping that a destined individual could one day use its powers to ascend to Inch Strength, shatter Shenlong Continent’s constraints, and avenge his boundless hatred.

"Blood Jade, transformed from the Heavenly Dragon’s blood!" After reading the paper’s contents, Li Changlin was utterly astonished.

His gaze flickered as he suddenly recalled Chen Haixuan’s situation.

Originally, Chen Haixuan only possessed Peak Void Force cultivation, but this time he demonstrated Half-step Inch Strength power while forming a cone-shaped Domain—a feat that greatly puzzled Li Changlin.

Now, Li Changlin understood.

Chen Haixuan’s unexpected strength surely stemmed from obtaining a piece of Blood Jade.

And what a piece it was—a Blood Jade weighing over ten pounds!

Such a heavy Blood Jade must have contained the Heavenly Dragon’s divine consciousness.

"Looks like I need to pay the Chen Family a visit!" Li Changlin quickly made up his mind. He raised his gaze and looked at Long Mo’s corpse with a strange expression, then spoke solemnly: "Since you are the ancestor of the Long Family, I will spare the Long Family out of respect for you!"

With that, Li Changlin waved his hand and shattered the yellow paper, picked up the jade box, and walked out of the cave.

Even without Long Mo’s dying wish, Li Changlin would not let the Cheng Family off easily.

After exiting, Li Changlin activated the Heaven-Reliant Sword, slashing at the mountain.

Falling rocks tumbled down, sealing the cave’s entrance once more. Li Changlin shot up into the sky and left Dragon Stone Mountain, heading to the provincial capital.

An hour later, Li Changlin arrived at the Mo Family Manor, where Mo Penghong and Fang Xiaowei personally came out to welcome him into the guest hall.

"Young master, are we really going to move against the Chen Family?" While en route, Li Changlin had already called Mo Dongyu, asking him to inform Mo Penghong and Fang Xiaowei.

This visit was undoubtedly meant to strike at the Chen Family.

"That’s right." Li Changlin nodded and said, "Is the Mo Family ready?"

"Young master, we are fully prepared and can act at any time," Mo Penghong quickly replied.

"Then take action." Li Changlin didn’t waste time. Upon hearing this, he immediately stood up, not even bothering with a sip of tea.

The Mo Family members also stood up. Led by Fang Xiaowei and Mo Penghong, over ten vehicles set out aggressively for the Chen Family.

As Nanfu Province’s top family, the Chen Family’s estate was situated in the southern part of the city at the Chen Family Manor, covering an area of over 100,000 square meters—an opulent, prestigious household.

More than half an hour later, the vehicles reached the Chen Family Manor. Mo Dongyu personally drove his vehicle straight into the Chen Family’s main gate.

With a resounding crash, the tightly shut doors swung open, and two burly men with gloomy expressions leapt out from behind the gate. One of them shouted angrily: "Who dares cause trouble at the Chen Family!"
