Chapter 7213 There’s Movement!

When Long Chen saw Miao Yin’s elite group, he couldn’t help being surprised inside. There were only a hundred thousand of them, and they clearly weren’t very powerful. Although some of them could barely squeeze into the ranks of top disciples, they definitely wouldn’t be considered elites.

However, without exception, every single one of them possessed immense potential. They were like uncarved jade blocks. And when he saw Miao Yin’s smirk, Long Chen understood what she was aiming for.

Miao Yin had countless subordinates. The ones who were already growing steadily on their own had not been called here; instead, she had brought over some others—people who were not yet accomplished in any respect but who had immense latent potential.

In fact, they had so much of it that even Miao Yin was worried that she wouldn’t have the ability to extract all of it. She was certainly able to support and uplift them, but the first time was the most effective. If she failed to fully unleash their potential the first time, it would be almost impossible to do it in the future.

This made her wary. After all, these people were the ones she had the greatest hopes for. Once they advanced to the Divine Sovereign realm, she was planning to boost their power once more. But for the first time, she had other plans. After all, when it came to making people stronger, she felt like she couldn’t match Long Chen’s abilities. Thus, she was going to leave them to Long Chen.

“Young Master, I’m counting on you!”

Miao Yin pulled Long Chen’s sleeve with a bashful expression. That look in her eyes could seize a person’s soul. As expected, Long Chen stared for a moment before directly handing over all the Heavenly Dao Pills.

When Miao Yin saw the mountain of Heavenly Dao Pills, she jumped in shock.

Then, as she felt the auras radiating from the pills, a thought crossed her mind that made her eyes widen even more. She instantly connected these auras to some people she had faced in the past—specifically, the enemies they’d fought in the large-scale battles that she and Long Chen had been through.

Miao Yin was astounded, but also deeply moved. By letting her see these pills, Long Chen had essentially told her a secret that could shake the entire world. This was proof of absolute trust.

She quickly matched the pills to the disciples who were suited to their nature. But even after she accounted for a hundred thousand people, the mountain of pills didn’t seem to have shrunk at all.

“I leave these to you. Actually, I’ll just have you in charge of Heavenly Dao Pills in the future!” said Long Chen.

Long Chen actually had a major headache when it came to the Heavenly Dao Pills. There were simply too many of them. If he didn’t distribute them, it would be a huge waste, but he didn’t have the time or energy to find the right people for them. Since Miao Yin had many subordinates, she could use these pills to boost their strength. Adding on her own capabilities, Miao Yin’s force would rapidly grow.

“Thank you, Young Master...”

“Creating a powerful force requires a great deal of energy. You should quickly raise some trusted generals and give them the responsibility and authority. Don’t fall behind in terms of your own cultivation!” warned Long Chen.

Miao Yin was truly talented. But if she wasted her time on things like this instead of increasing her own power, it wouldn’t be worth it. After all, someone who strove for the peak of the world had to have a suitable level of personal power first. Otherwise, any assassin could kill them no matter how powerful of an army they controlled.

Furthermore, as a leader, she naturally required enough power to lead. Without enough power, it would be difficult for her own subordinates to have any faith in her. After all, people could change, and suddenly getting stronger was one of the most common causes of people suddenly changing their mind. If the members grew conceited, any organization would fracture sooner or later.

This was especially a problem when the leader was a woman. It was not a matter of competence so much as a matter of... well, the men would all try to prove they were stronger than her.

“Young Master, don’t worry. I understand!” Miao Yin nodded obediently. She had naturally considered all these things already, but even so, this reminder made her feel warm inside. It showed that Long Chen cared for her. Although he did not express it openly, she could tell.

Suddenly, she noticed that Long Chen felt somewhat... different. “Young Master, have you been doing something? I see that your cultivation hasn’t increased, but your aura is completely different.”

In theory, she should have immediately sensed such a thing. After all, Long Chen wasn’t hiding anything from her. However, she had only noticed now. Long Chen actually hadn’t noticed it himself, but it seemed that the Golden Virtue Lotus was automatically concealing his aura. If it were not for Miao Yin being familiar with him and very close to him, she wouldn’t have noticed anything.

“It’s because I have already finished condensing my Dao-seed!” Long Chen smiled slightly.

“Really?!”

Miao Yin’s eyes widened in disbelief. She had only just managed to sense the Grand Dao; furthermore, this feeling was still very blurry. Her Dao-seed could hardly be farther from condensing. Yet Long Chen already had a perfect Dao-seed? If that was true, he probably was unmatched beneath the heavens! After all, even someone like Feng Xinglie, who had long since reached the peak of the Sovereign Lord realm, had failed to condense a proper Dao-seed.

“Really. Well, to be honest, I happened to discover something that let me condense it faster; it’s not something anyone else can imitate. But in any case, I can say that I am definitely the number one figure beneath the Heavenly Sovereign realm right now!”

Miao Yin’s shocked and worshipful gaze would have made even a sheep feel as great as a lion. Indeed, out of context, Long Chen’s words would have certainly been considered arrogant, but with this power, he could say them without shame. This was not arrogance, but pure confidence in himself. Right now, even against someone as powerful as the palace master, Long Chen wouldn’t be afraid. This was the confidence that the nine-leaf golden lotus gave him.

“Young Master, you’re truly an unrivaled genius! With the new era’s laws, everyone is groping around in the dark. Even someone like the palace master could only begin merging with the Dao after the sweeping elder’s guidance, but you’ve already completed your Dao-seed! This kind of talent is truly unmatched in this world!”

Miao Yin truly was looking at him in a whole new way. Naturally, she had always had confidence in herself, which was why she had challenged Long Chen back then. But today, she was bearing witness to what true genius was.

“Fairy Miao Yin, you are truly sweet, but no matter how you praise me, I won’t let you fall behind in your own cultivation!” Long Chen warned her with a smile.

Miao Yin turned red. Seeing his grin, she knew that her thoughts were seen through. She had just been thinking that with how powerful Long Chen was, there was no need for her to force herself to get stronger. It might just be better to focus on raising her faction. After all, having Long Chen as a backer would be more than enough.

As for the matter of keeping her subordinates under control, as long as she was with Long Chen, who would dare to challenge her?

Long Chen stopped smiling and got serious. “This chaotic world is filled with dangers. You must have enough power to protect yourself. Otherwise, I will not let you fight for the peak.”

Hearing those domineering but caring words come from Long Chen’s mouth made Miao Yin think of what Zi Yan had said—she was forbidden from getting injured, because Long Chen would go crazy. Now, although Long Chen still wasn’t saying it directly, the meaning behind his words could not be any clearer. Miao Yin had already taken up an important part of his heart.

For a moment, she truly wondered what reaction Long Chen would have if she were to be injured.

...

Three days passed by until Miao Yin came to look for Long Chen once more.

“Young master, there’s movement over there!”
