Chapter 1478 1478: Freedom　　”Did you also train here as well? How did you find out about this place?” 

”How do you think I became strong enough to control the Immortal World? Of course, it’s all thanks to this place,” the woman answered, sighing. 

Thinking about the past, she couldn’t help but remember the memories that she had long forgotten. 

”If this place weren’t here, I would’ve been dead,” she explained.  “I owe everything in my life to this place. Otherwise, I would’ve been that weak girl who couldn’t even protect herself.”

”Anyway, enough of that. Getting back to the main topic! This will be the place where we’ll train. Rest for today. I need you properly rested for the absorption of the Dragon Soul tomorrow. Then we can work on your progress.”

….

As Long Chen’s clone was lured by someone else to be used against him, the real Long Chen was lying on the soft grass near a pond. Gentle winds brushed against his skin that didn’t have even a single shred of clothing v

Xun was lying right beside him with her head on his shoulder. Tired, she had already fallen asleep. Long Chen was still up, though. He glanced at the beautiful moon in the sky that was showering them with the beautiful moonlight. 

”I don’t know what I’m doing anymore. It’s like I’m walking a path that I should’ve been avoiding, but because of fear of the future, I keep jumping into trouble. When will this stop?” Long Chen muttered as if talking to himself. 

His pitch-black eyes looked emotionless, but his voice was filled with emotion. His mind had become cruel, but his heart still had some of his old feelings, but he knew that with each bloodline temple trial, he was changing. 

The Bloodline Trials started with trying to make him stronger while updating his bloodline, but at the moment, they had moved onto changing him entirely. 

It was as if the more he moved closer to his complete awakening, the more he was to be forced to change. It was only his family that was holding him to his sanity so far, but he didn’t know how long that could be the case. 

There was a fear in his heart that the next bloodline trial was going to be the end of himself as he knew it. 

”You seem worried?” A calm voice fell in his ears suddenly, bringing him out of his daze. 

”What? How are you talking to me?”  Long Chen asked. He recognized the voice. It belonged to a person he had talked to multiple times before. However, shouldn’t that person be able to talk here? How was it possible?

Long Chen looked in the direction of the voice, only to grow more stunned. Long Tian was sitting beside him. He still didn’t have his body, but he was in a spirit form. 

”It has been so long since I saw the moon, basking in the moonlight. Oh, how I missed it. When I was little, I often used to sit on the roof to cultivate. No one knew that secret,” Long Tian chuckled. 

He turned to Long Chen. “It’s fun to be out again, even though I’m not in my body. Oh, and don’t worry. I’m not even going to attempt to take over that body. After what you did for me, I owe you that much. Keep that body. You’ve been doing really good.”

In the middle of talking, he burst into laughter. “That, and I don’t want to go through all the trials that are in your path now. My soul is weak. It won’t be able to take it. So best of luck.”

”You didn’t answer me yet. How are you out?” Long Chen repeated his question. The soul of the real owner of this body was sitting beside him. Of course, he was going to be shocked. 

”Didn’t I tell you? After what happened last time, I’ve been sealed out of the Bloodline Temple. That means I can’t go inside, but that also means that I am not attached to it. I can come out and experience that outside world. I don’t know how long it’ll last.”

”Maybe after the Martial Soul heals itself a bit, I’ll be sent back again. But until then, I want to experience this world,” Long Tian muttered, gazing at the beautiful moon. “I never thought I would be able to. I guess every bad news has a silver lining.”

”My Martial Soul is damaged, and we’re trapped here in a world which doesn’t have Qi. It’s certainly bad news, but at least you can see the world now. However, I do have one question. How long have you been outside?” Long Chen inquired, moving Xun off his shoulders before covering her body. 

He sat up, covering half of him with a sheet as well. 

”You want to know how much I saw? Didn’t you?” Long Tian asked, smiling. “I just came out now after you were done. In any case, it’s not like I haven’t seen such things before. Not because I intentionally looked for it, but because there’s no way for me to avoid. I see what you see. So don’t take it to heart.”

”In any case, I’m all but a soul,” he further added. “You want to know something weirder than me being able to see such things?”

”What?” Long Chen inquired. 

”You have my body. You do all this with my body. So in a way, we can say that my body did almost everything intimate yet I can still say I haven’t touched a girl. It’s not a lie either.” Long Tian chuckled. “Hey, don’t take my jokes seriously. I’m just in a good mood today. After decades I’ve come out. I’m talking nonsense.”

”Nah, it’s fine. I can understand. Also, yeah, that is certainly amusing. However, don’t worry. As your soul can come out, that makes things easier. Which means we can create a body for you after finding enough materials just like we did for Xun.”

”If we do that before my Martial Soul heals, you might be free from the Bloodline Temple just like I freed Xun. Then you’ll not only be able to experience the world better, but you’ll also be able to live your life as you wish. You’ll be able to meet your family and more,” Long Chen said, excited. 

He always regretted the fact that he was living his life while the Long Tian was just trapped in the bloodline temple, watching his family call someone else their son. 

”I don’t think that would be right. I can’t do it,” Long Tian said, shocking Long Chen. Why was this guy saying no? This didn’t make sense
