Chapter 580 Chapter 580 The Long Patriarch
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
.
..
...
Panic could be heard in the endless knocking of an ancient door.
The barely discernible sounds which shouted the word "Patriarch" over and over again were quite grating to the ears of the only occupant of this most sacred place of the Long Clan.
"Why are these kids bothering me again?"
"Did i not tell them that i am in a closed door cultivation?" An old man muttered inside the confines of this grand sanctum.
This was the Patriarch of the Long Clan and he was tenaciously cultivating in here for the last 30 years. A True Qi Realm cultivator could live up to 100 years.
The next was the Spirit Realm which had a longevity of 200 years. After that was the Foundation Realm which had a lifespan of 500 years.
This old man was already more than 400 years old and the call towards the coffin's rest was close and coming for him.
This was the reason why he tried his hardest to break into the Gold Core Realm. One should know that this old man was already in the last and final stage of Foundation Realm.
He was already at the 10th Stage of Foundation Realm.
Sadly, this breakthrough to the Gold Core Realm was quite hard to reach especially when his children were always there to disturb him like tonight's unexpected affair.
"I hope that this better be something important or else..." The old man uttered in a bad mood. He stood up from his lotus position and granted access to his troublesome descendants.

"Some demon child is here to challenge you!"
"We have tried our hardest to stop him but failed in the end."
"Please punish your useless descendants, Patriarch!" A handsome man in luxurious robes immediately kneeled in place.
This one was the most gifted son of the Long Clan which has a cultivation base of 10th Stage Spirit Realm but same as all the elders combined, he was met with disaster in the hands of our very own protagonist.
This handsome man could not even take 1 move. That was how fast his defeat went. In the end, he was left with minor burns and no clothes to cover his body.
After that shameful experience, this handsome man immediately arrived here in haste. The Patriarch was their only chance in surviving this tribulation.
"Tell me everything! Start from the beginning!"
"Don't skip one single detail, Long Hua." The Patriarch ordered in a harsh voice and the handsome man named Long Hua.
"We were just having a marriage celebration and then..." Long Hua narrated the events that led to this night. He took two dozen minutes to finish his tale.
This left the Patriarch in silence as he thought of the likely reason why this mysterious force just wanted to test him from amongst all the experts of Navi City.
In the end, the old man decided to see his visitor tonight. He was a true cultivator and had risen up through countless corpses and the rivers of blood of his enemies.
This old man was definitely not a coward.
"WHOOSSH!" The wind howled and in one breath alone, the old man's figure was already gone in the scene.
When he materialized into another place, he was already within sight of our very own protagonist. There were two of them. One male and one female.
Both were very young and the old man would even dare say malnourished. Nevertheless, he never put such a trivial exterior with great importance.
"Good evening, dear guests."
"I am Long Aotian. The Patriarch and Founder of Navi City's Long Family." The Patriarch cupped his fist towards his visitors.
The girl looked at Long Aotian with curiosity but the young man continued to gaze at the many pictures of art in this meeting hall.
These priceless masterpieces were works by Long Aotian's own hand. When he was younger, he loved to draw pictures of people and nature.
"A good gallery." Clark praised and he finally turned to gaze at his original target.
Long Aotian was the strongest cultivator in the city and this was the only reason he was here in the first place.
"Indeed." Long Aotian agreed and he also wandered his eyes around the many creations around him.
This was not only his work but it was also a detailed map of his memories and youth.
Long Aotian remembered those happy innocent times for a full minute before he realized that he had an important quest left unfinished at this time.
"My elders say that you want to challenge me, dear guest."
"I am here to oblige to your wishes. You can start at any time."
"Please." Long Aotian cupped his fists once more and just stood there in obvious vigilance.
What was interesting was that he never summoned his strongest weapons into the fray and just used a simple horse stance thereafter.
Long Aotian knew that this guest was only here to exchange pointers. This can be seen in the fact that he never took the lives of his elders and descendants.
Thus, Long Aotian trusted his guts at this time. He did not get to be so old and remain stupid after all.
"You are an interesting old man, Long Aotian." Clark smiled and without ado, attacked the dormant body of his foe.
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
"BANG!

...
Several exchanges of kicks and punches happened and in less than a dozen breaths alone, the fight halted in a tie.
It did not need telling that our bored gamer has already got what he came here for.
"DING!" Time stopped and recorded some major alterations onto the character sheet of our bored gamer.
"The Overlord System has detected that the user's enemy has a cultivation base of the 10th Stage of Foundation Realm." The notifications rang unimpeded.
After that, Clark thanked the old man and went out of the Long domains completely.
* * *
"Patriarch! Are you okay?" More than an hour has passed but Long Aotian still stood frozen in the halls.
The elders could not finally hold their worries inside and so they dared call for their Patriarch's attention. Alas, they were only met by silence.
Long Aotian continued to replay the scenes from before. He could not believe what he saw earlier.
The young man started only as a Spirit Realm Cultivator but then after several breaths, the boy's cultivation immediately rose up to something he can only dream about in this life.
'That young man is really a Gold Core Realm Expert?' Long Aotian smiled bitterly in the end. When he recovered from his astonishment, he delivered several orders to the clan.
"Punish Long Tae and return the Xing girl to her family!"
"I've been gone for only 30 years and I can't believe how low this clan has become!"
"Scourge like these will be the reason for our clan's demise someday!"
"Punish Long Tae's father also. Abolish both father and son's cultivation!" Long Aotian said towards the 2nd strongest man in the family, Long Hua.
"But Patriarch, I think that..." Long Hua tried to defend the two, especially the older one since Long Tae's father was a respected elder of the clan.
"Or do you want to shoulder the sins of the two, Long Hua?"
"I could abolish you myself if that's what you wish." Long Aotian gave a stern look towards the handsome man.
"Forgive my impertinence, Patriarch."
"I will carry your orders at once!" Long Hua bowed and immediately left the scene. He was not a fool to shoulder the blame of those stupid pair.
