A week had passed in the outside world since they re-entered seclusion, which was equivalent to 70 days inside their residence because Xiao Shijian had long installed the ti formation in their residence.
Chen Li had stopped dual cultivating with all his wives, but he suddenly fell unconscious. Since he had experienced this many tis in the past, Feng Xian'er and the others were no longer surprised by his condition, and they believed he had entered the mory space.
Most of them imdiately got dressed and left the pagoda, but Feng Xian'er and Lin Qingzhu stayed behind to accompany Chen Li, waiting for him to wake up.

anwhile, Chen Li was already standing before Long Wang. "Two and a half years have passed so quickly since you last ca in here. I've been waiting for you for a long ti, but you never ca in."
"Why didn't you summon like usual?" Chen Li asked, frowning.
"You're wrong about that." Long Wang denied it straight away. "Actually, I've tried summoning you several tis, but sothing in you blocked ."
Chen Li raised an eyebrow. "What do you an by that?"
"It was your fear." Long Wang's answer puzzled Chen Li. "You were afraid that Hermit Long's nature would affect you if you got all my mories, and your fear blocked from summoning you. Actually, you don't need to be afraid of that, and you can't prevent his nature from influencing you. Currently, you should be aware that his nature has started to influence you, right?"
"Yes." Chen Li said, nodding at Long Wang. "I felt that I was slowly turning evil, and a feeling of fear involuntarily erged within ."
Long Wang released a soft sigh. "Hermit Long is one of the reincarnations of the Ancient Long Wang, just like us. You won't be able to reject his mories, and you must accept them whole; otherwise, you will never be able to surpass your limits. Back then, I felt that fear too, but I chose to embrace my fear. Unfortunately, I was unable to go that far and only received mories from a small number of his reincarnations."
"How many mories did you obtain?"
"I obtained the mories of the Ancient Long Wang's three reincarnations, including Hermit Long's." Chen Li wanted to ask sothing else, but Long Wang imdiately refused with a shake of his head. "I was indeed powerful in the past, but you already know my fate, and I ended up here. If you don't want what happened to back then to happen again, you must surpass . The only way for you to surpass is to beco whole again, which ans you must obtain the mories of all his reincarnations. If you beco the Ancient Long Wang, none of the living creatures in this universe will be able to fight you, except Xiao Shijian, especially since she is the first living being born in this universe."
"Ancient Long Wang was truly powerful as the second living being born in this universe, but he eventually died, right?" Long Wang didn't refute Chen Li. "Speaking of Xiao Shijian, she clearly knows how the Ancient Long Wang died, but she hasn't been willing to tell the reason for his death, and she asked to wait until I obtain the mories of his several reincarnations."
Long Wang sighed again. "Honestly, I've also asked Xiao Shijian about this matter, but she's never been willing to tell . As for the Chaos Origin Sword, she never ntioned it to at all, and I only found out about it after she told you about it a few days ago."
"Haha." Long Wang and Chen Li turned to Hermit Long, who had suddenly appeared there. "About the sword, I—"
Long Wang imdiately stopped him. "Hermit Long, all of that is just your speculation, and you have no proof whatsoever."
"You're right, all of that is just my guess, but it doesn't matter if this kid hears it, right?" Hermit Long looked at Chen Li. "Like the two of you, Xiao Shijian was also never willing to tell about the death of Ancient Long Wang, and the appearance of that sword always bothered . In this universe, no one can match him except for her, right? Moreover, she never told about the sword or any of his previous reincarnations, and all of us ended up dying because of it. If she had told us about the sword, we would have tried to find it and secure it, and we wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Yes." Chen Li nodded in response. "Do you think Xiao Shijian killed Ancient Wang Long? What do you think was the reason?"
Hermit Long shook his head at Chen Li. "I'm not saying that Xiao Shijian killed Ancient Long Wang, but she definitely had sothing to do with his death. I don't know where the Chaos Origin Sword ca from or who created it before, especially since I didn't succeed with all of our predecessors. However, her explanation to you a few days ago resolved all my doubts, and since the sword was born at the sa ti as this universe, I am increasingly convinced that she played a role in his death."
"I thought the sa as you." Chen Li was silent for a mont before. "Honestly, Xiao Shijian's explanation sohow made think that she killed Ancient Long Wang. However, I'm confused about her purpose for killing him because she clearly loved him, and she always hoped that he would return to her."
"Haha." Hermit Long laughed at that. "You're right, Xiao Shijian truly loved Ancient Long Wang, and all his reincarnations could see that. Unfortunately, we were born differently from you because in the past we didn't have a Chaos Body like you, and we could never return to being whole because of it."
Chen Li nodded to him. "Xiao Shijian told that the main requirent for bringing Ancient Long Wang back is the Chaos Body, especially since it was his original body."
"I think there's no point in us wondering about this matter now, right?" Hermit Long helplessly sighed. "What you can do now is improve your cultivation and obtain the mories of all the reincarnations of Ancient Long Wang, and you will know many more things the more mories you obtain."
"Yeah." Chen Li looked at Long Wang. "I think I'm ready to inherit all your mories now."
Long Wang nodded with a satisfied smile. "You are the current reincarnation of Ancient Long Wang, and you were born with his original physique, even though you were born as a mortal. However, it doesn't matter, and you only need to go to the Dragon Realm to retrieve my old body and dragon core. Once you obtain both, Xiao Shijian will help you rge with them, and you will transform into the true Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. Back then, I only obtained a fragnt of their mories, and I ended up here. Therefore, I hope you will go further than , and I hope you will beco whole again to reveal whatever hidden purpose lies behind all the past events."
"I won't think about things that are too far in the future for now." Chen Li then sat down on the floor. "Let's start now; give all your mories."
