Chapter 231

Ling Yunzi explains to Tu Fang why he has decided to risk challenging the Evil Path.
"I've stayed stagnant for far too long. I've already lost my old sharpness. I need to borrow a kind of opportunity to retrieve my old sharpness."
But moreover, the Xuantian Supermonastery has 108 monasteries, ranked based on power, and Ling Yunzi's Xuantian Monastery is ranked last.
Resheathing his longsword, Ling Yunzi turned to Tu Fang. "Now you should understand why I'm risking this danger. I'm tying my own fate with the monastery's fate. I'll borrow that chance to completely awaken. I've been silent for too long. I need a certain force to stimulate me into once more returning to my old self."
"So you're betting on Long Chen?" 
"Yes. Since I bet once, I can bet a second time. And since my first bet paid off, I believe my second bet will also be worth it as well," said Ling Yunzi confidently.
Last time, Ling Yunzi had braved the danger of the backlash from the Heavenly Dao to confirm that Long Chen was a Divergent. That had been absolutely crazy, but it had filled Ling Yunzi with pride.
Now he would make another grand bet. That was to align the monastery's future with his own, placing them both on Long Chen's shoulders.
Previously, when the Corrupt path invaded, it was also always agreed implicitly that this would just be a training exercise for their new disciples to fight.
The reason the Corrupt path would instigate this was because even if their disciples didn't die at the hands of the Righteous path, they would die under the hands of their own sect. Their rules were extremely cruel. The weak only had one fate, and that was to be killed.
And so Corrupt path disciples all walked a path of slaughter. Although their cultivation bases weren't necessarily that powerful, their wills were much firmer.
If it weren't for the Righteous path possessing an absolute superiority in terms of numbers, there would be no way for them to compete with the Corrupt path. And that was why Cang Ming had looked down on the monastery's method of raising its disciples and cursed that they would just be whetstones for the Corrupt path's disciples. 
The Xuantian Monastery was in a state of preparing for war. Long Chen had even gone with Tang Wan-er to once more fly a kite and absorb thunderforce.
Now he had a whole barrel of Ten Thousand Beast Essence Blood in front of him. An explosive aura came from this blood.
That was all fourth rank Magical Beast essence blood. Fourth rank Magical Beasts were on the same level as their ordinary Elders, making them inconceivably powerful.
Long Chen took a deep breath, filled with anticipation. This time it would be this powerful essence blood that would allow him to advance.
Placing his hand in the barrel, he began to quickly absorb it all.
