Otherworldly-Cultivator-Chapter 864: The Celestial Race

Time kept passing without waiting for anything, and a year had passed within Chen Li’s residence and the Tianyi Realm—equivalent to more than thirty-six days in the outside world.

Everyone who was previously in the midst of their breakthroughs had finally completed their breakthroughs, and all Chen Li’s wives had reached the Lower God Realm, except for those who had become cultivators late, such as Wen Xia, Sacha, Mu Qing, and a few others.

Bai Lanhua, her four aides, and the senior cultivators from the Seven Moon Realm had also completed their breakthrough.

None of the cultivators left the Tianyi Realm; instead, they remained there to stabilize their cultivation with the help of Xiao Huoli’s pills.

However, Chen Li still showed no signs of completing his breakthrough soon, and the five-clawed golden dragon continued to circle around the golden pillar.

Feng Xian’er faithfully waited in that area as she stabilized her cultivation, which had only been broken through a year ago. Although Xiao Huoli had given her some pills to help her stabilize her cultivation, the Lower God Realm was an entirely different stage from the mortal realms, and she needed a longer time to stabilize it.

Long Lianxin, Long Shui, Long Yu, and Jiu Feng accompanied Feng Xian’er, as they also couldn’t wait for Chen Li to complete his breakthrough. Huang Xiaotian, who was busy training other cultivators in the Ancient Qin Realm, also checked his situation several times.

Under Chen Meiyi’s special care, Mao Qianqian’s condition was also slowly improving even though her injury had only improved by around 45%. Ye Yangzhu visited her master every day when she was not training Chen Li’s family members to accompany her so as not to get bored.

Feng Yan’er and Chen Long were a little over ten years old. Meanwhile, Cai Hao, Lin Tianyi, and Ximen Yueling were almost three and a half years old. Feng Bing’er’s daughter, Feng Yuexin, was already one year old.

Feng Yan’er, Chen Long, Cai Hao, Lin Tianyi, and Ximen Yueling had entered the Tianyi Realm several times to check on Chen Li’s situation. However, they didn’t spend long there, and they focused on their cultivation and training in the outside world under the guidance of Yue Mengyi and several other women.

Meanwhile, Xiao Shijian and Xiao Kong’er had arrived in the Celestial Realm to check on Long Tianxi’s condition, but they didn’t exit the void and only examined her from within.

Even though the female Celestial Dragon was still alive, Xiao Shijian and Xiao Kong’er could feel that Long Tianxi’s condition was continuing to decline, and they had to save her quickly or she would really die.

Unfortunately, Chen Li still had not completed his breakthrough, and he needed time to stabilize his cultivation after breaking through later.

Xiao Shijian and Xiao Kong’er found the Tianshan Realm near the Celestial Realm, but Shang Ditian ordered his people to avoid approaching it so as not to provoke the Celestial Race’s anger.

"We’re going to the Dragon Emperor City."

"Eh?" Xiao Kong’er was surprised by that. "Why do you want to go there, Big Sis?"

"We’re going to see Long Baiyun."

"The female cloud dragon, huh? Have her injuries recovered?"

Xiao Shijian nodded. "Long Baiyun’s old injuries should have recovered by now, and she’s protecting the people of that realm after the war ended. Even though she’s not as strong as Long Jinshu or Long Hei, she will be a tremendous help for us to save Long Tianxi, so we should go to that realm now."

"That realm is within the territory of the Five Divine Heavens, and it will take us at least two months to get there even if we fly through the void."

"It’s not a big deal, right? Chen Li hasn’t finished breaking through yet, and he still needs time to stabilize his cultivation, so we’ll meet Long Baiyun while we wait for him to finish."

"Let’s go then." Xiao Kong’er brought Xiao Shijian into the void and flew towards the Dragon Emperor City.

Tap... Tap...

A young woman approached Shang Ditian, who was checking something. "Why are you here, Lu Li?"

"Leader, the Celestial Race sent someone to see you."

Shang Ditian raised an eyebrow. "Why did they send someone here?"

"That person doesn’t want to tell me the reason, and he wants to meet you in person."

"Send him in." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Yes."

Not long after, Lu Li led a young man to walk into the room, but his expression was not very friendly. "What are you doing near our realm, Shang Ditian?"

Lu Li frowned and raised her eyebrows, but she didn’t say anything and gave the young man a sideways glance.

"Hmm?" Shang Ditian narrowed his eyes and released his aura, suppressing the young man directly and forcing him to kneel on one leg. "Does the Celestial Race have no manners? You visited my realm, and I am much more senior than you, yet you behave so impolitely in front of me."

The young man tried to fight back against the pressure, but Shang Ditian increased the pressure and made him fall to the ground.

"Even Tian Huang and Tian Shen don’t dare act presumptuously in front of me, yet a young man like you dares to be so presumptuous in front of me." Shang Ditian floated before the young man. "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here?"

The young man clenched his fists before standing up. "My seniors would like to know your purpose in bringing your realm near ours."

"Has your senior gone senile?" The young man looked furious upon hearing that. "My Tianshan Realm is always traveling this universe, and we happened to want to check out the realms nearby, so I asked my people to stop here. I know your race doesn’t like disturbances, so I forbade them from approaching your realm."

"Is that all?"

"Do you want me to kick you back to your realm?" Shang Ditian pointed to the exit. "I still have a lot of work to do, so you can leave my realm now! Tell Tian Shen that he doesn’t need to bother with our affairs!"

The young man didn’t say anything else and immediately left the room, but he continued to curse Shang Ditian’s attitude in his heart.

"Are you sure we won’t run into trouble, Leder?" Lui Li asked.

"You don’t need to worry about the Celestial Race." Shang Ditian returned to his seat behind the table. "They just want to confirm our intentions, and they won’t attack us as long as our members don’t approach their realm."

"How long will we wait here, Leader?"

"Ou Yongjie told me that Emperor Long and Empress Feng are in the midst of their breakthroughs, and they need to stabilize their cultivation after their breakthroughs." Shang Ditian fell silent and thought. "Normally, they need several years to reach the Five God Realms and stabilize their cultivation, but Emperor Long inherited Song Tianyi’s private realm, and Senior Kong’er told me that the flow of time there is ten times faster than in the outside world, so they should be finished sooner."

"I see." Lu Li nodded in understanding. "How about I ask our people to move our realm a little further away from the Celestial Realm, Leader? They might not attack us, but I think that would be the best move for us."

"Alright, you can do that."

"I will order them now."

Shang Ditian let out a soft sigh after Lu Li left. "Can we avoid a clash with the Celestial Race then? What will Emperor Long do if they stop him from rescuing Long Tianxi?"

"What happened to you, Wang’er?"

Tian Wang, who had previously met Shand Ditian, couldn’t hide his anger. "That little prick earlier pressed me and made me lie on the floor, Father."

"Hahaha! I told you to watch your behavior when you met Shang Ditian, but you clearly didn’t listen and acted arrogantly in front of him, right?" Tian Wang looked at Tian Shen. "Do you think he’s a weakling? Although his body is no different from that of a ten-year-old boy, he’s far stronger than you can imagine; otherwise, he wouldn’t have led the Tianshan Realm for tens of thousands of years, and the realm would have become increasingly prosperous under his leadership."

"Brother Shen is right, Wang’er." Tian Wang’s father, Tian Huang, let out a soft sigh. "Even though Shang Ditian has such a small body, you can’t underestimate his strength. If you weren’t my son, he would have killed you instantly, and we wouldn’t have been able to save you from him. So, what was his answer?"

"He wanted to check out some nearby realms, so he asked his subordinates to stop their realms near ours, Father."

"Leave first, Wang’er." After Tian Wang left, Tian Huang looked at Tian Shen. "Do you think Shang Ditian is telling the truth, Brother Shen?"

"No." Tian Shen frowned thoughtfully. "Even if Shang Ditian wanted to check the other realms, he would never order his subordinates to stop their realms in one place, especially since those traitorous immortals are still targeting them. I can’t guess his true goal, so we must continue to monitor his movements."

Tian Huang immediately contacted several people to monitor the Tianshan Realm, but he was surprised after receiving a report from a member of his race. "Shang Ditian has ordered his subordinates to take their realms away from our realm."

"What exactly did Shang Ditian do? Why did he suddenly change the direction of his realm?"

"Let our people watch over that realm for now."

"Let our people watch over that realm for now." Tian Huang remembered something. "How much longer can Long Tianxi survive the stone curse? I sense her condition is steadily weakening, and she will surely die one day."

"Five to ten years at most."
