In the depths of the primeval forest of the Greater Xing 'an Mountains, the mountains were connected to the wilderness, and the shrubs formed a blue sea. This was a world of trees, a paradise for animals, and there were few people around.
Only a few adventurers and explorers visited this place every year. Therefore, it was more difficult to find someone here than to find water in the desert.
However, there were countless miracles and unknowns hidden here. Perhaps the primeval forest that seemed difficult to survive in the outside world was a good place for some people to hide from the world.
In a hidden valley deep in the Greater Kaxing 'anling Mountains, there was a magnificent ancient manor. On the gate of the manor, there was a large plaque hanging on the wall. Two words in traditional Chinese cursive script, filled with heroic spirit and battle spirit, protruded from the plaque: Dragon Mansion.
The Long family was famous in the world. During the war, countless enemies were wiped out. When the country was destroyed, he disappeared overnight.
The Long family had been a martial arts family since ancient times. They had awed the martial world with their domineering inner force cultivation method.
Speaking of the Divine Power of the Solar Dragon, the Jianghu people were all envious. As the name suggested, the Solar Dragon's Hegemony was a Divine Power that focused on attacking. It was extremely domineering and was divided into nine levels. Those who cultivated to the sixth level would be able to do so.
It was said that if one could break through the ninth level of the highest level, they would enter the Xiantian realm that countless people dreamed of.
This was also the only martial arts manual known in the martial arts world that could be cultivated to the Xiantian realm, so how could it not be coveted?
However, that was not all. The domineering aura of the Solar Dragon was also accompanied by the protective true energy of the Solar Dragon that had extraordinary defense. With such a combination of offense and defense, the Long family's reputation in the martial arts world was great, and they were awe-inspiring in all directions.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Long family was at its peak and dominated the Chinese martial arts world. It was said that the head of the Long family, who was in his sixties at that time, had already cultivated the domineering aura of the Dragon Sun to the ninth realm, and was only one step away from the Connate Realm.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu invaded the Central Plains.
During this period of national crisis, the Long Family had allied with all the heroes in the world to join Zheng He and assist the Ming court in resisting the foreign enemies.
During this period, they killed countless enemies, causing the Manchu people to change their expressions when they talked about the Long family.
Who would have thought that during the battle against the enemy, Long Batian and his three sons would be poisoned by the imperial court at the front line. In the end, only his youngest son escaped.
At this point, Martial Arts Alliance's morale was greatly affected, and they were not in the mood to fight against the enemy. In the end, the alliance was disbanded, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed not long after.
On the day after the Long family's three family heads were killed, the entire Long family, along with all the collateral family servants, disappeared from the martial world overnight. From then on, no one in the martial world knew their whereabouts.
Rumors also spread everywhere. Some said that the Long family was killed by traitors in one night, some said that the Long family had joined the Manchu clan, and some said that the Long family had retired from the martial arts world because of their great loss. As for which one was right, no one knew.
In fact, after the Long family lost their patriarch and two sons, they took their seriously injured youngest son and escaped through the secret passage of the Long family overnight. They also took everything they could from the family.
From then on, he lived in seclusion in the depths of the Great Xing 'an Mountains, and the Dragon Residence became a part of the history of Jianghu.
Until now, the Long family had lived in seclusion here for 360 years.
In the past few hundred years, the Long Family had not truly isolated themselves from the outside world. In order to obtain information about the outside world, the Long Family would send a disciple to the outside world for ten years every twenty years to learn about the information and changes in the outside world.
Every time they sent someone out, they would have a mission, which was to bring a large number of books and items from the outside world.
Of course, there was a limit to the number of people who could go out each time. They had to be direct descendants, and they had to cultivate the domineering aura of the Dragon Sun to the fourth realm.
This was because going out was definitely a temptation for the Long family disciples who lived in seclusion at home.
They had grown up under the influence of the boasting of their elders. The colorful world outside and the strange things were all wandering in their minds, tempting them. Therefore, going out almost became their daily goal of hard cultivation.
The disciples who had gone out for training recently would bring back a large number of science books and technological products every time they came back. They vigorously promoted the information technology and technological development of the outside world that was unimaginable.
Therefore, although the Long family lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, the Long family had a good understanding of the development of the outside world. For example, the Long family no longer used candles to light up the house at night like they did decades ago.
He was using the fluorescent lamps that the second head of the Long family, Long Aofeng, had brought back after going out for a training trip. Moreover, he was using his own power to generate electricity. At the same time, he brought back a variety of books.
The one who went out to train this time was the eldest son of the Long family, Long Zhenyu, who was also the next heir to the family head.
The things he brought back this time surprised the entire Long family. It wasn't because there were too many of them, nor was it because they were too good. It was just a black box with a strange name-computer.
However, if that was the case, it wouldn't have shocked the entire family. It didn't matter if they didn't bring anything. It was no big deal. The Long family didn't care what they could bring back. After all, they were living in seclusion.
What shocked them was that he actually brought back a young and beautiful woman who was already pregnant.
The Long Family didn't have any restrictions on the disciples who went out to train, nor did they have any rules that they couldn't bring back anything.
However, this was the first time he had brought back a wife. This was because every Long Family disciple would choose a woman to be engaged to before they went out to gain experience. This was because the disciples who went out each time were all in their twenties.
They would be 30 years old when they returned ten years later, so they had to get married immediately after they returned.
And when Long Zhenyu went out for experiential learning ten years ago, he had already cultivated the domineering aura of the Dragon Sun to the peak of the fifth layer. If it was during the Ming Dynasty.
He was already a first-rate master in the martial arts world. There were only a handful of people in the martial arts world who could beat him. As long as he had more opportunities, it was a certainty that he would break through to the sixth level. At that time, he was just twenty years old.
Other than the poisoned Long Family Head, Long Batian, there was no one else who could have such great achievements in his twenties.
When Long Batian cultivated to the peak of the fifth level, he was already twenty-four years old. He was four years older than Long Zhenyu. It could be seen that his cultivation talent was high.
Therefore, Long Zhenyu could be said to be the person who was most likely to cultivate to the Xiantian realm since the Long family had been in seclusion.
Originally, the Long Family would never allow such a genius to go on adventures outside, but unfortunately, the Long Family's Solar Dragon's Domineering Qi became more and more difficult to cultivate in the end.
Moreover, after reaching the sixth level, there would be a bottleneck in each level. One would need a certain amount of opportunity and comprehension to break through. Therefore, going out to experience was also a better choice to find a breakthrough opportunity.
The current Long Family Head had lost the opportunity to go out and gain experience because he had almost reached the fourth level.
He could only leave the opportunity to his second brother, Long Aofeng, who had just cultivated to the fourth level. It was also because of this that he was only at the middle stage of the seventh layer. It was already impossible for him to cultivate to the ninth layer or even the Xiantian realm.
However, his second brother was much better. He was already in the early stages of the eighth level. If he had the opportunity in the future, he might still be able to break through to the supreme realm of the ninth level in his lifetime.
As for the Xiantian realm, it would probably be a pile of bones by then. Thus, it could be seen how important opportunities were to Solar Dragon's Domineering Spirit. Going out to gain experience was indeed a way to cultivate.
The entire family valued Long Zhenyu. Before he left, he was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Long Family's side clan master, Long Ruoshui. This Long Ruoshui was only eighteen years old at that time. She was a beautiful, intelligent, and virtuous woman, and was deeply loved by the Long Family.
Their family was also a relative of the Long family who lived in seclusion at that time. They could be said to be a match of equal social status and a perfect match.
Long Ruoshui, who had outstanding intelligence since she was young, had long been secretly in love with this genius in this family. As for whether Long Zhenyu was a fallen flower, no one knew.
Ever since the Long family had been in seclusion, in order to pass down their descendants and take care of everyone, they had established a family rule. Abolish the concept of polygamy, take care of everyone, implement the rule of monogamy, and those who violate it will have their cultivation abolished.
But now, Long Zhenyu had brought a foreign woman who was pregnant. This simply made the family head, Long Aoyun, angry and embarrassed. Not only could he not explain to the Long family, he could not explain to the family rules set by his ancestors.
However, the outcome of the matter was not that bad. Long Zhenyu finally escaped this calamity. The reason was that Long Ruoshui, who was infatuated with Long Zhenyu, persuaded his father to accept this matter, and because the woman he married, Lin Xin `er, was an outside woman.
It didn't violate the premise that the ancestors had set for the implementation of monogamy in consideration of the inheritance of future generations. Instead, it left the Long family with descendants.
Therefore, most of the Long family members expressed that Long Zhenyu's actions were excusable and could be dealt with as appropriate.
However, the reason why the Long Family did not punish Long Zhenyu was that his domineering aura of the Dragon Sun had already broken through the sixth layer and reached the early stages of the seventh layer.
His cultivation base had jumped by two major stages. This was clearly something that could not be more ecstatic. The Long Family Head was also happy. He no longer cared about his actions and accepted his status as a wife.
He agreed to their marriage and also expressed that Long Zhenyu could not let Long Ruoshui down. After all, she had waited for him for ten years.
Therefore, after all the votes were passed, Long Zhenyu became the first person in the Long family to enjoy the blessing of the whole family in more than three hundred years.
However, even if he didn't have a big punishment, he still had to keep a small ring.
In order to not let Long Ruoshui suffer any grievances, Long Aoyun decided to let her be Long Zhenyu's first wife after discussing with her and her father.
Furthermore, if Lin Xin 'er was pregnant with a son, her right to inherit the position of the family head would be revoked. If Long Ruoshui had a son in the future, she would have the same right to compete with Lin Xin' er's son to inherit the position of the family head.
In other words, the successor of the family head under Long Zhenyu would no longer be inherited by the eldest son, but a fair competition.
As the standard of competition, it was naturally the unique and domineering cultivation base of the Long Family.
It was decided that whoever had the highest cultivation at the age of 20 would be the next heir to the family head, not through a martial arts competition or anything.
After all, if the age gap was too big, it would obviously be very unfair. Of course, he was also very biased towards Long Ruoshui's side. After all, they were all family.
