A group of people set off on their journey to the Four Emperors Territory. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Of course, this was under the guidance of Li Chen.

Flying in the Ancient Battle Realm is extremely dangerous, because there are many peculiar secret realms and restrictions against the sky here, not to mention the realm itself has many dangerous and ferocious creatures. If they see some creatures swaggering overhead, it can easily provoke these powerful natives.

Not to mention, the Ancient Battle Realm now also has people from other Three Realms and those Destroyers; flying in the sky is simply like being a target.

Only those who are extremely confident in their strength dare to swagger when flying in the Ancient Battle Realm.

For example, the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor Purple Inscription whom Li Chen previously defeated.

Of course, he flew only that once, and probably won’t have any more opportunities.

On the road, Li Chen applied the Wind and Thunder Law, making their progress extremely fast and the consumption low.

This was a small technique Li Chen learned while in the Immortal Domain.

Ever since Li Chen discovered his True Yuan had completely mutated, even immortal techniques became usable. Perhaps, in ancient times, these cultivation systems were originally unified; Li Chen’s Yuan Force was merely restored by the Seven Realms Tome.

The Wind and Thunder Law, no matter which kind, is among the top in terms of speed, not to mention the small fused technique forcibly composed by Li Chen with his strong control power.

With it attached to a group of martial artists, they felt as if there was a powerful propulsion device under their feet, enhancing their speed to a terrifying level without much effort.

Because of this, the group admired Li Chen even more.

The Red Dust Heavenly King, truly deserving of the reputation for being able to intercept an army from the Demon Realm alongside General Dao Lan and others in the past!

Li Chen was too lazy to deal with these guys, as he himself found it boring; nonsense fame, with his current situation, he only hoped to stay as low-key as possible.

Others might not understand, but he was very clear.

The Immortal Emperor he defeated had just been recently promoted; during the confrontation, Bai Tianyi helped him bear the domain pressure, otherwise, the outcome might have been completely different.

Li Chen could still contend with Seventh Rank Heaven Venerable and Immortal Venerable level, but upon reaching the Realm of Shen Tian, it became particularly difficult for him.

In his current situation, there are countless powerhouses in Ancient Battle Realm who could easily crush him!

Even when it comes to other Immortal Emperors, Li Chen doesn’t think he’s a match for the Cat Emperor who once took the blame for him in the Immortal Domain.

After all, there are gaps even among the same level.

Small gaps might be negligible, but large gaps are like Li Chen compared to ordinary Kuotian Realm Kings.

Speaking of which, the gap between Li Chen and ordinary Kuotian Realm non-King martial artists is enormous!

Countless!

Looking at Li Changkong and Li Bihai beside him, Li Chen wanted to ask Xiaoxiao if they were also in the Borderland Realm and how they were doing, but hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

After all, his relationship with the Li Family is indeed somewhat special.

If Li Changkong and others were just ordinary Heaven Realm martial artists, Li Chen wouldn’t mind speaking directly, but the additional layer of kinship made it harder for him to speak.

"Any troubles?" Yang Xin noticed Li Chen’s complex emotions and softly transmitted a message to him.

Glancing at Yang Xin, Li Chen remained silent for a moment before expressing his thoughts.

Yang Xin was a good person to confide in.

She, too, understood his feelings.

As expected, not long after Li Chen spoke, Yang Xin helped ask Li Changkong and the others.

Li Chen found it difficult to speak, but she had no such reservations.

Yang Xin’s character was exceedingly gentle.

So gentle, it was already somewhat abnormal...

Li Chen didn’t say anything, but he sensed something was off with Yang Xin.

However, what exactly was wrong, Li Chen couldn’t quite put his finger on.

This girl seemed to live in a world woven by herself.

In this world, there was her own life, Li Chen, and everyone she hoped for.

But...these were mere illusions.

This wasn’t Li Chen’s speculation but something he discovered long ago.

Yang Xin’s mother had actually passed away, which Li Chen’s people found out shortly after Yang Xin left the Main World.

Furthermore, Li Chen was almost sure Yang Xin was aware of this.

Because back then Li Chen learned from his associates that the reason Yang Xin was in Kunlun wasn’t accidental but forcibly taken.

Yet, after more than a decade when meeting Yang Xin again, she seemed unchanged, but subconsciously believed her mother was still alive and wanted to go back again?

Li Chen noticed Yang Xin’s abnormality at that time, but instead of addressing it, he comforted her with gentle words.

Initially, Li Chen thought Yang Xin’s memory was altered by someone.

However, over time, Li Chen realized that wasn’t the case.

In Yang Xin’s sea of consciousness, there seemed to be a hazy mist covering her understanding of the truth, allowing her to remember that everything was well, she was merely brought to the Immortal Domain to cultivate. And that mist...belonged to Yang Xin herself.

"Perhaps, that’s best for her." Watching Yang Xin walk away, Li Chen felt a vague heaviness in his heart.

What kind of burden must one bear to lie to oneself in this way, with such kindness?

Li Chen detests self-deception; during occasional quiet cultivation, when recalling past events, his heart always feels a tearing pain.

Facing harsh realities, some choose to avoid, Li Chen chooses the bloodiest way: letting his wounds tear themselves. Perhaps over time, the pain would become customary.

Yet, over the years, he still hasn’t gotten used to this pain.

Yang Xin’s issue needs addressing; Li Chen plans to discuss it after things conclude here.

Because under Yang Xin’s current condition, during the heart demon tribulation upon soul realm advancement, achieving success seemed utterly improbable.

"The heart demon tribulation..."

Li Chen looked at his hands, then at the people around him.

After so many years, he’s finally about to become a Heaven Venerable powerhouse.

Perhaps he could have raised his cultivation to Peak of Kuotian Realm to undergo tribulation earlier, but he didn’t do that.

Not for any other reason, just because he had no confidence in facing that indispensable heart demon tribulation upon soul realm advancement.
