Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 413 - 410: Departing Fire Firmament [Second Update]
Chapter 413: Chapter 410: Departing Fire Firmament [Second Update]
At the summit of Mount Everest, Li Chen and Lin Xuanfei both sat cross-legged within their respective circles.
The Himalayan Snow Monster, like a loyal guard, patrolled around them, acting as a protector.
Initially, Lin Xuanfei was amidst excitement, unstoppable like she had consumed a stimulant.
However, after seeing Li Chen fall into a state of deep meditation, she followed his lead, quietly holding her breath and listening to the natural song of the wind and snow as described in the Wind Snow Scripture.
Lin Xuanfei, who naturally possessed a unique physique and was an intelligent girl, quickly entered a superior state.
Whenever she made a discovery, she wanted to share her joy with Li Chen immediately.
But when she saw Li Chen sitting motionlessly in meditation, she forcefully suppressed her excitement, fearing that even the slightest noise might disturb his cultivation.
At that moment, with Li Chen as the core, and the Spirit Gathering Array as the framework, a vortex of Spiritual Power formed.
The surrounding Spiritual Power flowed into this vortex like trickling water, then entered Li Chen’s body.
Li Chen, in turn, circulated the Spiritual Power, connecting the Big and Small 36 Circuits and nourishing each damaged meridian. This process repeated cyclically thirty-six times.
Suddenly, a dazzling arc of light streaked across the cold, dark night sky. Like a drawn sword, it split the vast night into two, creating a magnificent and strange glow reminiscent of the Milky Way reappearing.
Startled, Li Chen quickly executed the Nine Heavens Star Technique to expand his consciousness and investigate.
It was a meteor weighing over a hundred tons that had entered the atmosphere, burning due to friction with the surrounding air.
Upon seeing this, Li Chen was overjoyed. He released twelve waves of consciousness at different frequencies to capture it.
These twelve waves of consciousness, grouped in threes, surrounded the meteor from the east, south, west, and north, forming a sky and earth net that enveloped the meteor.
Soon, the meteor struggled like an insect trapped in a spider’s web, desperately trying to break free.
However, why would he let such a plump prey simply fly away?
Immediately, Li Chen abruptly raised his head, his eyes emitting beams of light that shot straight towards the meteor.
The meteor, suspended mid-air, began to rotate counterclockwise.
Initially, it rotated at a visible speed.
Then, as the rotation speed increased, it became too fast for the naked eye to track, appearing only as a rapidly spinning vortex of fire.
This vortex of fire, like magma from a volcano, flowed slowly down along the beams of light into Li Chen’s eyes.
"Li Fire Firmament!"
At that moment, Li Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his thoughts flashed, and two pillars of fiery light soared into the sky, as if intending to burn the entire firmament to ashes.
In an instant, the entire sky and earth were illuminated with a piercing orange-red color!
However, in the blink of an eye, the flames quickly faded, and the world returned to the embrace of the dark night, everything as usual.
The now thoroughly consumed meteor plummeted in a straight line.
Early the next morning, over thirty national news stations raced to report this astronomical phenomenon. Corresponding astronomers also retrieved a huge meteorite from the East Sea.
For astronomers, meteors entering the atmosphere was nothing unusual. However, the sudden eruption of orange-red flames last night was an unprecedented sight.
Relating it to the mysterious solar eclipse not long before, all the astronomers and physicists were baffled.
Revered in the industry as the "Father of the Universe," the renowned physicist, Mr. Hawking speculated:
This could likely be a probing signal from other life forms in the universe directed at Earth. He also cautioned developed nations like the United States and Russia not to respond should they receive any strange signals from outer space.
He suggested that Earth is just an ordinary planet in the Milky Way—by not responding actively, the aliens would be unable to pinpoint our exact coordinates.
Thus, Earth could avoid the danger of being destroyed by extraterrestrials.
While the outside world was abuzz about the meteor event, Li Chen, the instigator, had already left Mount Everest with Lin Xuanfei and returned to Donghua.
This entire journey was too surreal, filled with occurrences Lin Xuanfei previously couldn’t have even imagined.
Li Chen had opened a new door to the world for her!
Standing at the entrance of Donghua Airport again, Lin Xuanfei sincerely marveled at how magical life truly is.
Four months ago, she had departed from this very spot, leaving Donghua alone to study in the UK.
At that time, she stood here, desperately hoping to catch a glimpse of that certain someone before boarding.
Unfortunately, that person never showed up before her flight took off.
At that moment, her heart felt as if it had turned to ash; it seemed the whole world had lost its color and was shrouded in darkness.
But never in her wildest dreams did she think she would be back here in just four short months.
Although that person hadn’t come to pick her up, he had returned with her.
Life really is full of wonders!
"Little girl, let me take you home!" Li Chen breathed in the familiar air and looked at Lin Xuanfei as he spoke.
Lin Xuanfei pouted, "Do you dislike me that much?"
Li Chen gave her a look, "Miss, after all the hassle, aren’t you tired? We should just each go to our own homes and find our own mothers."
Lin Xuanfei blinked and asked, "Will I still be able to see you?"
Li Chen thought for a moment, then replied, "Of course, you’re not blind, why wouldn’t you be able to see me?"
Hearing Li Chen’s affirmative answer, Lin Xuanfei was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Then good, take me home!"
Just then, a pink Ferrari sped towards them and came to a smooth halt in front of Lin Xuanfei.
Subsequently, the car door automatically opened, and a young girl hurriedly jumped out.
"Feifei, when did you get back?"
It was none other than Lin Xuanfei’s best friend, Zhao Huanhuan.
The window also rolled down, revealing Bai Qianshui’s head.
"Junior sister, you’re back and didn’t let us know in advance so I could pick you up. Your uncle, aunt, and master are always talking about you!"
"Xuanfei, what are you still standing there for? It’s so cold outside, hurry up and get in the car, I’ll take you home!"
However, Lin Xuanfei still didn’t move, just glanced sideways at Li Chen.
Bai Qianshui and Zhao Huanhuan followed her gaze. Seeing that Lin Xuanfei was actually standing with Li Chen, a man from a poor family, instantly ignited their anger.
Especially Bai Qianshui, who had originally planned to let Duan Tong teach Li Chen a tough lesson at the auction.
But he had never expected that the opponent was a formidable Martial Artist, and even Duan Tong was no match for him.
Afterward, he had to support the injured Duan Tong and leave the venue early, and thus, he was completely unaware of what happened later.
He had only heard rumors about an Immortal Master Li’s emergence, slaying countless foes on Yuhua Mountain, leading to rivers of blood.
But, he remained skeptical about these events to this day.
After all, this is Huaxia, a peaceful and lawful era; how could there be something like in martial arts dramas where one fights against the world causing corpses to scatter everywhere?
And even if he believed all this was real, he would never associate the spectacular Immortal Master Li with the poor nobody Li Chen standing before him.
In his eyes, Li Chen was just a man from a poor family with some talent in calligraphy and Kung Fu skills, not worthy of the Young Master Bai’s attention.
