Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 6024 Spirit Awakeners Move Out

“Are you serious?!” Mountain lord Sanyun asked, staring at mountain lord Qingyu in shock.

Mountain lord Shuangfeng added, “The strongest factions are just watching for now. They will not expose their true power lightly. Letting our children attack now will expose them to danger, while showing that Sovereign Mountain is losing its cool. The likes of the Jiuli race and Heavenly Eye race will look down on us.”

“There’s no point in arguing,” said mountain lord Qingyu flatly. “I’m the one in charge here. Just do as I say.”

She turned to leave, but mountain lord Sanyun called after her. “Qingyu, can’t you show a little respect to your elders?”

Hearing that, mountain lord Qingyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Looking back at the three of them, she said, “I do respect my elders. I respect you so much that I’ve practically aged alongside you. After watching Long Chen’s battle... I realized I haven’t just gotten old—I’ve started to rot.”

Her voice turned sharp as she continued irritably, “I let you drag me down. You’ve anchored me in the past and made me rigid in thought. So tell me—what’s more important? The future of our violet blood race or the future of the entire human race?”

The three of them were stunned, at a loss for words.

“I once asked Long Chen if he saw the violet blood race as his greatest conviction—if he would stake his life to protect it. Want to guess what he said?”

Naturally, they couldn’t guess it, but they knew she would tell them regardless.

“He said he was willing to protect the violet blood race, but it wasn’t his greatest conviction. So I asked him what it was. He didn’t answer and just pointed at his heart.”

“And what does that mean?” asked mountain lord Shuangfeng.

“It means his heart is his conviction. He follows what he believes is right. Nothing can stop him—not even death. The Dragonblood Legion is tearing through the ten thousand races. They’ve long since stopped caring about their life and death. They only know that if they don’t act, more humans will die.

“To people like us, the weak are like ants, unworthy of protection. But to Long Chen, they matter. Because he and the Dragonblood Legion were those ants once. They rose from nothing, so they understand how many others like them exist—kind souls with big dreams.

“There are people who, once they’ve been rained on, take others’ umbrellas. If they can’t take the umbrellas, they destroy them, just so no one stays dry. But there are also those who, after enduring the storm, will use their own umbrella to shield others. Long Chen is one of the latter.”

The three mountain lords lowered their heads in shame. They knew which kind they were.

Mountain lord Qingyu continued, “Long Chen slaughtered his way from the mortal world to the immortal world, so he knows how important these opportunities are. The Dragonblood warriors would have never arrived in the nine heavens if not for Long Chen. So now, they fight to create opportunities for others—even if it costs them their lives, even if it means making enemies of the entire ten thousand races!

“Our violet blood race claims to lead the human race. We always talk about its future, but what have we actually done for the human race?

“What makes Long Chen strong is that he dares to defy, to challenge, to rebel against injustice. We’re already old. If we pass down our decayed mindset to the next generation, it will limit their growth and bind their wings. This will turn us into the sinners of the violet blood race.

“This era belongs to them, not us. Since we can’t lead them, the least we can do is give them space to grow. While we still have strength, let’s protect them. When we no longer can, let’s at least not hold them back.”

“Mountain lord Qingyu... Sovereign Mountain is blessed to have you. We’ll follow your lead.”

The three mountain lords bowed deeply, shame tightening their chests. They had tried to impose outdated thinking on the new generation. How foolish they had been.

Mountain lord Qingyu’s words had woken them up. Her intelligence far surpassed theirs, so they were all grateful she was here.

Qingyu smiled bitterly. “If not for Long Chen, I would still be in the dark too. We must remember—while the violet blood race is part of the human race, it does not represent all of it. We have to choose our stance carefully. We old ones are the past, while the juniors are the future. When the time comes, we must let them take over.”

The other three nodded solemnly. Soon, all thirteen Spirit Awakeners had gathered.

Mountain lord Qingyu didn’t give a speech. She simply played the photographic jades.

When the young elites saw the Dragonblood Legion tearing through enemies and crushing Sovereign Lords, their jaws dropped.

The footage lit a fire within them. As proud members of the noble violet blood race, how could they fall behind?

“Go,” said mountain lord Qingyu. “Fight for the future of the human race. Fight for the glory of the violet blood race. Make your mark on this era.”

Sovereign Mountain trembled as divine light enveloped the thirteen Spirit Awakeners. Qingyu’s eyes lingered on Xie Wanyi with deep affection.

Through a soul transmission, she said, “Go, my most beloved disciple. Follow the footsteps of your idol, but shine with your own light. Etch your name into this era.”

Thirteen rays of divine light shot into the sky, each streaking in a different direction.

Watching them leave, mountain lord Qingyu had a conflicted expression. Although the thirteen of them were strong, they also had many flaws.

She couldn’t help but feel a tinge of regret. They had been raised too gently. If only they had a real battle experience like the Dragonblood Legion... would she still be this worried?

Just as the violet blood race deployed its Spirit Awakeners to aid the human race’s army, within the Jiuli race’s Jiuli Divine Palace, hundreds of elders stood in silence.

Before them, the images from the photographic jades replayed over and over—Long Chen’s army crushing Sovereign Lords.
