Chapter 2181: Chapter 2149: Setting Out Again
"Chi Han, what I can teach you, I’ve pretty much covered for now." In a courtyard, Li Chen looked at Xiao Chihan and said, "The path you take next depends on you. Remember, you mustn’t rely too much on the Disk of Ages’ power; what you comprehend by yourself between Heaven and Earth is the most real and stable."
"As for the few swords I leave you, I hope you’ll use them well."
Xiao Chihan looked at Li Chen, "Master, are you leaving?"
"Yes." Li Chen nodded, "There’s a place I must go."
"Can’t you take me with you?" Xiao Chihan said with longing in his eyes, "I’ve traveled so far with you, master, and I’ve seen and learned so much I never knew before. I hope I can continue to journey with you, to learn more."
"No." This time, Li Chen was firm in his refusal.
"That place is too dangerous; you’re not suited to go there now." Li Chen smiled and patted Xiao Chihan on the shoulder, "When you grow stronger, you can go see it for yourself. Of course, first, you need to be considered a top-tier expert on this Star Continent."
"I understand." Xiao Chihan nodded with some sadness. He knew that he was too weak; staying with the master would only distract him, becoming too much of a drag.
"Keep cultivating well. As my disciple, Li Chen’s disciple, you cannot be a laughingstock weakling." Li Chen laughed, then turned and left.
Not long after Li Chen stepped out of the courtyard, he noticed a group of people gazing from afar, clearly awaiting him.
"Boss, are you going to play hands-off again?" Catherine said with a somewhat discontented expression, "We haven’t officially gotten on the right track here yet; you’re too irresponsible!"
"Aren’t you here?" Li Chen laughed heartily, "With you here, how could I not be at ease? Besides, this departure isn’t about shirking responsibility."
Li Chen looked at everyone and slowly spoke, "This time, I’m planning to find those who previously ascended. If possible, I’ll think of a way to truly reunite everyone. We’ve all come from the same lower realm plane; after so many years, it’s time to gather."
As he said this, Li Chen couldn’t help but glance at Catherine nearby, "Of course, not to forget someone with the surname Ning from your family. Now, do you still think I’m irresponsible?"
Catherine rolled her eyes and turned her gaze aside.
But there was undeniable joy in her eyes.
"I always support the boss’s decision." Ye Tu raised his hand and said.
"You brainless fan." Yu Yueying rolled her eyes fiercely at Ye Tu.
"Out there on your own, you must be very careful." Second Grandfather Luo Yi, along with two other elderly men, came up to Li Chen to advise him.
Li Chen nodded, not feeling the least bit irked by their somewhat nagging words; in previous years, he wanted to hear them but couldn’t.
After bidding farewell, Li Chen found Cang Ku.
"Break through to Venerate soon, my kin will be entrusted to you." Li Chen left Cang Ku ample cultivation resources and pills, ensuring nearly ninety percent certainty of success in the breakthrough.
"Rest assured, leave it to me." Cang Ku grinned, "As you said, we’re brothers who’ve shared life and death; this is a minor matter I’ve got covered."
Li Chen nodded, "Konggu, after all, is an outsider and somewhat cunning, so I’m unconvinced, hence entrusting you."
Cang Ku reached out and patted Li Chen’s shoulder, understanding beyond words.
As Li Chen prepared to depart, Konggu Venerable came out without a greeting.
"Dao Brother, are you leaving now?" Konggu asked.
Li Chen nodded.
"The Borderland Realm is filled with dangers, and for countless years, the Four Great Realms have been in constant strife, harboring evil intentions. Dao Brother must be careful; no matter how enthusiastic they are, you have to guard against hidden schemes." Konggu also advised.
"I will remember, thank you." Li Chen smiled back at Konggu.
Turning around, a space gate opened before Li Chen.
One step forward, Li Chen vanished from the mansion completely.
The restriction of Yantian City was almost useless to him.
In a few strides, Li Chen was above the Star Land of Heavenly Might.
"The Ancient Battle Realm is said to be at the bottom of the universe, even amidst the starry sky, there is a rough direction." Li Chen’s gaze directed toward a certain path.
In the next moment, with a flash of light, a pair of five-colored boots shone on his feet.
"Boots, let’s go."
Buzz——
The five-colored light flashed, reaching extreme speed, even surpassing the speed of light. Flicker after flicker, Li Chen’s figure completely vanished above the Star Land of Heavenly Might.
...
"Four Realms Conference? It couldn’t have come at a better time. Our Heaven Realm’s overall strength is not as strong as the other three realms, and I hear many Soul Realm experts fell in the Ancient Battle Realm. If this conference aims for a truce, I’d support it no matter the cost, even if it requires sacrifices!" A powerful figure said excitedly and loudly.
"But, for this Four Realms Conference, they’ve requested the highest commanders of the war from all circles to participate, most of whom are Soul Realm. Yet as far as I know, the other three realms’ leaders are Daoist Lords, Supreme Gods, and Purgatory Demon Lords of the highest order. Ours... isn’t it a bit improper?" Another person spoke.
The words clearly carried a hint.
Unlike the other three realms, the highest commander in Heaven Realm is not a top-tier expert but simply a woman whose cultivation is in the Talent Domain Realm.
Even though this woman indeed serves as the current battlefield’s highest commander in the Heaven Realm, having reversed adverse situations multiple times, and was chosen as Daiyu Heavenly Venerable’s successor, it doesn’t hide the fact that her cultivation is too low.
"What do you suggest then?"
"I propose Star Arrow Heavenly Master to lead this conference as our representative. Star Arrow Heavenly Master is one of the few Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerates in our Heaven Realm and renowned among the realms. If he represents us..."
"Bullshit." Before the person could finish, a young man coldly interjected.
The speaker was also a Venerate, albeit only a Seventh-Order Venerate, but still a Venerate. Seeing the one who insulted him was merely a Talent Domain Realm king, his face went cold, stepping forward.
Yet before the Seventh-Order Venerate could make his next move, a boy with a simple face next to the speaker slightly shook the iron rod leaning on his shoulder.
"Dong" The iron rod tapped the ground lightly, emitting a soft sound, which forcibly suppressed the Seventh-Order Venerate’s emotions, preventing an outburst.
