My gorgeous wife
Chapter 2017 - 1985: Discovery
You are Human Race, so am I!
Netherworld’s words were powerful and moving, causing Li Chen to be slightly dazed.
Every metamorphosis of the Myriad Gu Clan’s bloodline allows them to choose to undergo Shape Transformation, not just changing to resemble another race, but completely transforming into that bloodline’s race, thus inheriting some of that race’s talents and traits. Comparatively, although the Starry Universe dominates the Four Realms, there are not just a few races within these Four Great Realms. The realms host countless races, among which are some with powerful talents. Comparatively, the Human Race’s talents are not outstanding, nor possess any particularly special innate abilities.
Yet Netherworld chose the Human Race, undoubtedly because of him.
"You really... don’t have to do this." Li Chen looked at Netherworld, let out a soft sigh, and said.
Netherworld firmly shook his head with some stubbornness and said, "Dad, you are Human Race, Mom is also Human Race, so I am Human Race too."
Li Chen fell silent.
However, since Netherworld had already made his choice, he wouldn’t interfere with it anymore.
This was a road he decided on his own, so he must rely on himself to walk down it. Netherworld is no longer the child he once was; he has grown up.
This made Li Chen feel some special emotion in his heart.
Could it be... the child has grown up?
No, it’s not ’could be’, Netherworld truly has grown up.
Bai Shi looked at Li Chen’s expression, patted his shoulder, and said nothing.
"Since you have made your decision, then walk your path well." After pondering for a long time, Li Chen finally smiled.
Seeing Li Chen agree to his choice, Netherworld also smiled.
Actually, he was somewhat anxious before, worried Li Chen wouldn’t approve of his choice; otherwise, he wouldn’t know what to do. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Alright, things here are mostly settled, we should go check other places." Li Chen glanced over a group of cultivators in the distance, and without lingering, left straight into the sky with Bai Shi and Netherworld.
Those cultivators in the distance wanted to chat with Li Chen, but couldn’t find a topic to engage, fearing it might be difficult to interact with Li Chen since they assumed a strong person like him would have an exceptional character. While they hesitated, Li Chen departed with the two.
Watching the trio leave, many couldn’t help but sigh.
"I feel that ancient tree might not be inferior to a Supreme Treasure, alas, it slipped by us." Someone couldn’t help but lament.
"Stop with the hindsight remarks. Even if he hadn’t taken that ancient tree, could you have gotten close to it or taken it away yourself?" Another responded disdainfully.
"You..."
No matter what they thought, many immediately used special communication methods to inform others in their camp about the events here.
Some focused on the ancient tree news, while others warned their camp not to inadvertently offend Li Chen, advising on Li Chen’s terror beforehand.
Soon, many received news that, in the second layer of the Little Secret Realm, a shocking ancient tree was obtained by an accomplished Indestructible Body powerhouse, whose strength is astounding, having used a blood-colored war blade to shatter the calamity cloud!
"Blood-Colored War Saber?"
Someone receiving the news squinted slightly, "I recall that kid with the Supreme Treasure used a Blood-Colored War Saber as well, right?"
"Correct, though he has the Supreme Treasure, he mostly uses the Blood-Colored War Saber."
"What’s his name again?"
"Red Dust Heavenly King!"
"Keep investigating! That guy caused us heavy losses last time; this matter cannot just be let go!"
No matter what others thought, Li Chen continued his search in the second layer of the Little Secret Realm.
The second layer of the Little Secret Realm contained some dangers; however, with Li Chen’s Eye of the Dao, many terrifying deadlocks were avoided, and strong ferocious beasts merely served as sparring partners.
To Li Chen, the entire second layer of the Little Secret Realm was akin to a backyard garden.
Strolling leisurely.
That was Li Chen’s current state.
Upon encountering strong beasts, Li Chen let Netherworld and Bai Shi try their hands, while he nearly abstained from fighting.
After his cultivation breakthrough, he focused on merging and comprehending the power of laws, striving to integrate the Power of Laws into higher realms.
At his grade level, the importance of laws need not be emphasized. Even disparities in cultivation could be bridged, but comprehension gaps in laws couldn’t be mended.
Li Chen now possesses a vast amount of law power while simultaneously understanding the Four Supreme Laws.
Li Chen’s current task was wholeheartedly comprehending laws.
Apart from the Life Law, which Li Chen is still unfamiliar with, he mined some embryonic form of the Reincarnation Law from the Three Births River!
"Once the embryonic form is complete, fully comprehending the Reincarnation Law rests solely upon me."
Li Chen thought of the Three Lives Everything Armor, the Nine-leaf Resurrection Flower, and matters of resurrection.
"Hm?"
As Li Chen flew over a swamp with the two, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
With his Eye of the Dao, it became evident that the swamp below was perilous, even posing slight danger to him. With his current status, he ought to avoid such hazards, yet Li Chen stopped.
Because he saw someone in the swamp below.
Christina.
"Wait here for me," Li Chen instructed Netherworld and Bai Shi before stepping through the space gate, flashing silver, and landing in the swamp below.
"Huh?"
Immediately upon landing in the swamp, Li Chen sensed something amiss.
The swamp exerted an incredibly terrifying suction force as if trying to draw him in, surrounded by potent ancient rune restrictions, preventing even Li Chen from rising into the air.
"Why are you here?" Christina was startled seeing Li Chen appear suddenly, "Quick, get out; think of a way to save me once you’re outside. Once inside this place, it’s..."
She couldn’t finish as she saw Li Chen’s feet already sinking into the swamp.
"Well, it seems we are trapped here together," Christina chuckled bitterly.
