Chapter 6894 Seeing the High Priest Again

As they walked past several pavilions, they met many disciples from the Wine God Palace. Each one bowed respectfully to Zi Nuo.

Zi Nuo held a very high status in the Wine God Palace. That was why the disciples were unhappy when Long Chen patted his shoulder.

But when Long Chen touched the statue and made the starry sky appear, all of them were shocked.

At that moment, they realized this ordinary-looking man had a strong connection to the Wine God.

In fact, neither Zi Nuo nor the other disciples knew who Long Chen really was.

The people of the Wine God Palace were fully devoted to the Wine Dao and paid little attention to the outside world. They were only told to welcome Long Chen.

Given Zi Nuo’s high status, anyone he was asked to greet personally had to be someone special.

When Zi Nuo first met Long Chen, he was surprised. He sensed that Long Chen’s plain appearance hid something unimaginable.

The other disciples couldn’t compare to Zi Nuo in this way. They showed respect and courtesy to Long Chen because that was how they had been taught, but they didn’t sense his true power.

That was why the disciples had thought it was too much for Zi Nuo to greet Long Chen himself. But now, they understood why even Zi Nuo treated him with such respect.

Zi Nuo walked alongside Long Chen, starting to speak a few times but stopping himself. Long Chen chuckled and patted Zi Nuo’s shoulder.

Long Chen said, “Brother, if you have any questions, just ask!”

This time, Zi Nuo clearly felt Long Chen’s unrestrained nature through his touch. He followed his heart. As a result, Zi Nuo didn’t hesitate any longer.

“In that case, Brother Long, I won’t hold back. What you used just now, was that...?”

“It was astral energy. I am a nine star heir,” replied Long Chen frankly.

The disciples of the Wine God Palace were shocked by this answer. Was this man really one of the legendary nine star heirs?

“Brother Long, I’ve heard that nine star heirs are seen as a threat to the nine heavens and are always hunted. The Brahma line especially hates the nine star line and tries to wipe them out. So how did you survive?” Zi Nuo asked in surprise.

“It’s simple. Everyone who didn’t survive was killed. Maybe I’m just the one who slipped through their net,” Long Chen replied with a shrug.

“So the legends are true? Do nine star heirs really want to overthrow the nine heavens?” one of the Wine God Palace’s disciples asked curiously.

Zi Nuo frowned. He thought it wasn’t very wise for the disciple to ask that question right now.

However, Long Chen was not offended and smiled at that disciple. “What do you think?”

If anyone else had asked, Long Chen could have been upset. But with a disciple of the Wine God Palace, he could sense their pure intentions. The question came from curiosity, not malice.

That disciple was baffled and shook his head.

He said, “I have no idea.”

Long Chen nodded. “In this world, there are many questions you have to answer for yourself. Everyone sees things differently, so the answers you find will be different too. As for your question, what do the nine heavens mean to you? What should they be? Should they be overthrown?”

“I...”

The disciple’s eyes widened. The question was too broad for him to answer.

When he didn’t reply, even Chi Yutong and Xin Yu started thinking. They had never considered what the nine heavens should be like before.

Zi Nuo humbly asked, “May I ask how Brother Long thinks the nine heavens should be?”

Long Chen shook his head and replied, “I don’t know either. But I do know it should not be like it is right now.”

Zi Nuo thought for a moment. “Maybe if the outsider devils are driven away, the world will return to how it should be.”

“Perhaps.”

Long Chen simply smiled, not confirming or denying it. He felt that the Wine God Palace was truly one of the last pure places in the cultivation world.

These disciples had kept their hearts pure even after reaching the Sovereign Lord realm. The Wine God Palace was truly strong to protect them so well.

Even at this level, they hadn’t seen the dark side of the world. Did this mean the Wine God Palace planned to protect them from the outside world forever? Would their disciples stay like this in the future?

Soon, they reached the central palace. The gates opened slowly. As they walked in, they saw an elder, and Long Chen couldn’t help but gasp when he saw him.

“High Priest!”

This elder had a kind face with a youthful glow, even though he was old and had white hair. He looked exactly like the High Priest Long Chen had met in the mortal world. When he smiled, it felt just the same. Long Chen was stunned.

The High Priest looked at Long Chen. A divine light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled.

“Does Dean Long Chen recognize this old man?” he asked.

When he spoke, Long Chen instantly knew that this High Priest was not the High Priest of the Wine God Palace in the Martial Heaven Continent. But they looked almost identical.

“Junior apologizes. I was granted favor by the High Priest of the Wine God Palace in the mortal world. It was solely due to him that I avoided death, and Senior bears a striking resemblance to that High Priest. Please forgive my rudeness,” said Long Chen.

“A striking resemblance...” the High Priest muttered, nodding slightly.

He didn’t elaborate; instead, he turned to Zi Nuo.

“Zi Nuo, accompany these two young ladies for now. I will be lighting incense for the Wine God with Dean Long Chen. We’ll be right back!”

The High Priest led Long Chen deeper into the palace, while Zi Nuo took Chi Yutong, Xin Yu, and the other disciples somewhere else.

This place looked like a palace, but inside it was a whole world. Deep within, Long Chen saw a gate of light.

The High Priest placed his hand on the gate. A rune slowly lit up, and his voice became serious.

“Mister Long Chen, you’ve come!”

The gate activated, and Long Chen and the High Priest were pulled inside. Inside, the world was dark. Then a beam of light fell from above, illuminating the place.

A man in white robes appeared in the beam of light, and the High Priest immediately kowtowed.

“Greetings, Wine God!”
