Dragon Blooded War God

Long Chen could finally ask them the questions he had when he officially joined them. Because Xiong Wan’er was older and more mature, she knew more about the world. She was also reliable, so Long Chen chose to stay by her side to talk to her.

The others started teasing her when they saw Long Chen giving her preferential treatment. Xiong Wan’er blushed and didn't know what to do.

But Long Chen was used to it. They were only staying together for a little while, so he didn’t mind. He said to Xiong Wan’er, “I’m not from Scarlet Water City. I want to go there, but I don’t know the way. I can’t tell you where I’m from. Wan’er, can you tell me about this place?”

Xiong Wan’er was surprised because she was right! Long Chen was indeed mysterious. She was curious about his origin, but she explained everything as best as she could. “It seems that you can control and hide your presence very well. Are you not from the Eastern Royal District?”

“Eastern Royal District?” Another new name. Long Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. “No.”

“Not even from the Eastern Royal District?” Xiong Wan’er was surprised. “If you are not from there, then it's a miracle you could get here. It seems that you’ve traveled through a lot of places.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Long Chen laughed dryly and chose to admit it.

Xiong Wan’er explained, “There are four districts in the True Martial Territory. The Eastern Royal District is where we are at. It’s extremely large, taking up roughly a fifth of the True Martial Territory. There are one hundred and eight estates, ten thousand main cities, a million medium-sized cities, and a hundred million small cities. We are now in the range of one of the estates called the Underworld Estate. We from the Barbaric Bear Tribe live along the edges of Scarlet Water City, which is one of the hundred million small cities. We are now in the forest between Scarlet Water City and the Barbaric Bear Tribe. Do you understand?”

Long Chen understood, and he was thoroughly frightened by the numbers.

Now he knew that the True Martial Territory was divided into five areas, with the central area being the most likely location of the True Martial Overlord Palace. There were also four districts corresponding with each cardinal direction. The Eastern Royal District had one hundred and eight estates. Long Chen was currently in the territory of the Underworld Estate. He made a rough calculation and estimated that the Underworld Estate was in charge of a hundred main cities, with each main city governing a hundred medium cities, and each medium city governing a hundred small cities.

Was the True Martial Territory this massive?

“So right now we are in the True Martial Territory, Eastern Royal District, Underworld Estate, Underworld City, Scarlet Sun Medium City, and Scarlet Water City. Big Brother Long Chen, am I being clear enough?”

But she was surprised to find Long Chen deep in thought.

“Big Brother Long Chen, what’s going on?” Xiong Wan’er was worried.

“Oh, it’s nothing.” Long Chen smiled.

He was actually secretly scolding the six demons from before. They had never told him how far away the Swordsoul Territory was. Long Chen asked gingerly, “Wan’er, do you know where the Swordsoul Territory is? Which direction is it in?”

According to her, there were four Royal Districts, one in each cardinal direction. He had a feeling that he was at the easternmost part of the Eastern Royal District.

“I know. It’s to the west.”

“West …?”

Long Chen took a deep breath. He was all the way to the east, but his destination was all the way to the west. It would take tens of years for Long Chen to get there!

He made a rough calculation based on the size of Scarlet Water City. If the Underworld Estate controlled a hundred million of such cities, it would take Long Chen a lot of time to pass through all of them …

“Big Brother, what’s wrong?” Xiong Wan’er noticed that something was wrong with Long Chen.

He calmed down and asked, “Wan’er, how can I reach the Swordsoul Territory as soon as possible?”

“What?” For someone born here, it was almost impossible for them to travel to the Swordsoul Territory from where they had lived their whole lives. That was why she was shocked.

It took some time before she thought of an answer. “The space here is very stable, so it’s very difficult to make a Universal Teleporter. But I heard that they have one in the Underworld Estate. It’s connected to the other estates and even the center of the Eastern Royal District. But there’s no Universal Teleporter that connects to the other territories even in the True Martial Overlord Palace. To reach the Swordsoul Territory, you must pass through the Fragmented Starfield. A lot of natural disasters occur there though, so I doubt you can pass through it unless you’re at the Divine Martial Realm.”

Xiong Wan’er’s explanation was like a hammer that deterred Long Chen. Her final words dealt a massive blow to him.

“The Universal Teleporter is inside the Underworld Estate. To use it, you must first get the approval of the master and prepare something like Emperor Crystals to activate it. Big Brother Long Chen, I hope I’m not being rude, but I fear that it will be impossible for you to use it now. You’re not even qualified to talk to the master if you’re not at the Divine Martial Realm.”

Long Chen sighed after a very long time. He needed time to sort out his thoughts.

“Oh ho, are you quitting now? You should just go back to the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, then. There are many beautiful ladies waiting for you there. That said, Wu Lian was really sexy. Her body was second to none. To think that I had the chance to watch it live for several hours. What an amazing time it was!”

Little Cat took the chance to tease Long Chen.

“I know it won’t be easy to meet Ling Xi, but at least I have a goal. This is good. Now I just need to reach the Divine Martial Realm! And then I must go to the Underworld City! It should be the center of the Underworld Estate.”

Outlining each step was an important part of the process of reaching a goal.

Long Chen was only at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage. It would be a long journey to reach the Divine Martial Realm. Even with his talent and potential, it would still take him five to six years! Although that was considered ridiculously fast, it was too slow for Long Chen!

Long Chen had learned what he needed. He was initially shocked by the numbers, but then he got excited because of the challenge. This was the life he wanted.

But would he be able to meet Ling Xi sooner than that?

That might not be the case.

But for some reason, Long Chen had a feeling that he would meet her soon enough. It was just a gut feeling.

Xiao Xi, are you near me?

Long Chen looked around but saw nothing.

“Big Brother, do you want to go to the Swordsoul Territory?” Xiong Wan’er looked at him curiously.

“I was just asking out of curiosity. As you know, I’m a Sword Warrior. I’ve heard that the Swordsoul Territory is where Sword Warriors are from. I just want to go there and see the place.”

Long Chen came up with a random excuse.

“Is that so …” Xiong Wan’er nodded.

“Oh, then why are you heading to Scarlet Water City?”

Long Chen recalled that they were heading there because of the Underworld Soldiers.

“Us?” Xiong Wan’er looked at her brother, who had been sneaking glances at them, before explaining, “My brother’s dream is to join the Underworld Soldiers. The Underworld Soldiers are the personification of rank and status. If he became one, our tribe would naturally get better resources. Even the mayor of Scarlet Water City would have to treat my brother with respect. Of course, this is just his dream.

“The test to join the Underworld Soldiers is strict. They must first inspect your family. More importantly, the applicants must be at least at the Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage. My brother doesn’t even meet the basic requirements …”

“At least at the Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage? And it’s just an army?” Long Chena asked tentatively because it sounded horrifying to have an army full of soldiers at the Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage.

“Yes. Becoming an Underworld Soldier is everyone’s dream. My brother shares that dream with many. We heard that an Underworld Soldier was in Scarlet Water City, so my brother wanted to go there urgently. He is hoping that the Underworld Soldier will accept him as a disciple. There’s a good chance that the disciple of an Underworld Soldier will join them in the future. But my brother is just there to test his luck.”

Long Chen saw how much Xiong Wan’er pampered her brother based on the gentle look in her eyes.

“How many people are in the Underworld Soldiers?”

Long Chen had heard the demons mention them. It appeared that they were very wary of them even though they were at the Category Nine Emperor-tier. Still, the Underworld Soldiers were all at least at the Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage, so they had good reason to be wary.

Based on their numbers, Long Chen could estimate how strong the Underworld Estate was and calculate how many experts they had.

“The Underworld Soldiers? I think there are ninety million of them throughout the entirety of the Underworld Estate. I’m fairly certain the number is close to a hundred million.”

“Nine… Ninety million?!” Long Chen stopped walking out of surprise.

He would’ve cursed like crazy if no one was beside him. How strong was the True Martial Territory?! The Underworld Estate of the Eastern Royal District had close to a hundred million Underworld Soldiers! Long Chen was certain that there were countless experts who didn’t join the Underworld Soldiers. Didn’t that mean that there were at least five hundred million experts beyond the Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage?

With a rough calculation of ten million small cities in the Underworld Estate, and with each city having tens of thousands of people, that meant that there were tens of billions of people here in the Underworld Estate alone!

Shit! How monstrously large is this place?

Long Chen was now in an unending sea of humans. He couldn’t even be considered a grain of sand here.
