Chapter 1397: Chapter 1368: Crossing the Boundary
Li Chen has news!
When the Palace of the Nether King received this news, many people couldn’t help but show excitement on their faces.
He disappeared for a year, and no one knew where Li Chen had gone. But they all knew that Li Chen had gone to seek a breakthrough.
However, where exactly he went to seek this breakthrough, no one knew.
In fact, some people even thought that Li Chen had quietly left the main world and gone to the Heavenly Gate Realm.
But after receiving the news about Li Chen, many people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out he hadn’t left secretly.
Especially for many of the newcomers who had joined the Palace of the Nether King for a year or less, they very much wanted to meet this legendary number one powerhouse.
Many of the newcomers who joined the Palace of the Nether King did so because of Li Chen, but they had not seen him even once in the past year.
Soon, after receiving the news from Li Chen, the Palace of the Nether King quickly passed it on to the Dragon Soul and the Hongmeng Pavilion, asking them to help notify other powerhouses.
Because... Li Chen is going to cross worlds!
That’s right, not to a minor world, but truly cross into the passage and enter the Heavenly Gate Realm!
For all martial artists, the Heavenly Gate Realm is a place of extraordinary significance!
Almost all martial artists hope that one day they can enter that sacred place, the place where one can become a Heaven-level expert.
However, those who stayed here were at most at the Infinite Level. Even the step of Blood Condensation couldn’t be completely completed.
However, for Li Chen, the Blood Condensation that Infinite Level powerhouses must do, he had already completely achieved it before reaching the Earth Level.
He is an anomaly.
After making a trip back to Linchuan, Li Chen fulfilled the wishes of many newcomers of the Palace of the Nether King. These newcomers also got to see their idol.
And soon, Li Chen returned to the villa.
When he saw that Ouyang Wan’er and the others were also there, Li Chen couldn’t help but be taken aback.
"You’re leaving, aren’t you?" An Qin looked at Li Chen, and said with a somewhat complex expression.
Li Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I have to go."
An Qin nodded, she understood what Li Chen meant.
He has to go because he must find Lin Yi.
"We won’t stop you, but we only hope you can ensure your own safety." Wang Qianqian softly said, "Don’t forget, there are a few women waiting for you over here."
Li Chen nodded vigorously.
A few days later, a group of people gathered at the Kunlun Mountains.
Still the old place, many powerhouses rushed over from various places, even some Infinite Level powerhouses who were in closed-door cultivation, rushed to the Kunlun Mountains as soon as they received the news.
In this year, the main world had also established contact with many minor worlds, and the news of Li Chen crossing worlds was not only conveyed to the powerhouses of the main world, but also to some Infinite Level powerhouses of the minor worlds, who came to the Kunlun Mountains.
After a year had passed, the Kunlun Mountains, which had become somewhat deserted, became lively once again.
Not only these top-level powerhouses but also some well-informed ordinary martial artists flocked to the Kunlun Mountains.
Someone is going to cross worlds! This is no small matter, but an earth-shattering event!
In just a few days, the Kunlun Mountains became even more bustling than during the Martial Arts Conference, which even took Li Chen by surprise.
"If I had known, I wouldn’t have sent out the news." Li Chen, standing on a peak, couldn’t help but smile wryly as he looked at the crowded scene.
Behind Li Chen, several girls couldn’t help but cover their mouths and laugh.
For some reason, when they saw Li Chen at a disadvantage, they couldn’t help but find it amusing.
This man, even he had such moments.
"I will stay at the Kunlun Mountains for these few days, first to prepare a bit, because I’m not completely confident I can directly enter the passageway, after all, I haven’t seen how a Sky Approacher crosses worlds, I can only figure it out on my own. Secondly, I want to spend time with my loved ones."
Still the same conference room, Li Chen gathered with a group of powerhouses.
But this time, there were many more people in the conference room, and these additional people were all Infinite Level powerhouses.
For Infinite Level powerhouses, the thing they most wanted to do was break through Blood Condensation and step into the Heavenly Gate Realm.
However, all these years had passed and they hadn’t achieved it, while Li Chen, a latecomer, managed it before them.
Although they felt a bit unwilling in their hearts, they had to admit that they were indeed no match for Li Chen.
What cultivation level were they at when they were Li Chen’s age? Yellow Rank? Or Profound Level?
Looking at Li Chen’s young face, some Infinite Level powerhouses felt a bit ashamed of themselves.
Although at their level of cultivation, they could even change their appearance at will, they knew that Li Chen’s appearance was not artificially altered; he was genuinely this young!
"Li Chen, you..." True Person Zhang looked at Li Chen, seemed to want to say something, but it turned into a sigh: "I don’t even know what to say, when I see you, I feel like all my past years have been lived like a dog."
"I feel the same way." Prison Star, beside True Person Zhang, nodded, deeply agreeing.
The Infinite Level powerhouses present all agreed with this sentiment, compared to Li Chen, they indeed felt as if they had lived in vain all these years.
Moreover, they discovered that they could no longer discern Li Chen’s cultivation.
In other words, even in terms of realm, Li Chen had completely surpassed them.
One must know, back when Li Chen was still in the Great Scorching, the people here already didn’t think they could defeat him. And now, it’s not just about combat power; even in cultivation, Li Chen stood ahead of them, leaving them feeling self-conscious.
Even the Infinite Level powerhouses said so, and those present, like Dai Ren, and the Seven Extremes Ancestor, all had odd expressions on their faces.
At this moment, the usually silent Luoo Tianxiao suddenly looked towards Daoist Wenxing and asked, "Wenxing, have you also made a breakthrough?"
Hearing Luoo Tianxiao’s words, many shifted their attention to Wenxing and were surprised to discover that Wenxing’s cultivation had indeed broken through to the Infinite Level.
"By luck." Wenxing nodded with a smile, then looked toward Li Chen and said, "I must thank that battle back then; it brought me a lot of insights."
Hearing Wenxing’s affirmative response, Luoo Tianxiao paused for a moment but ultimately said nothing.
However, in his heart, he felt a bit uneasy.
Wenxing had broken through to the Infinite Level, and while Li Chen was close to crossing boundaries, he himself was still stuck in the Great Scorching. As the Pavilion Master of the Hongmeng Pavilion, Luoo Tianxiao couldn’t help but feel mixed emotions.
However, he also understood that sometimes, one’s fortunes can’t be generalized. And he felt that after his battle with Feng Yizhu, he had gained quite a bit of insight. Perhaps with more time, he too could become an Infinite Level Powerhouse.
"Alright, a while back, quite a few seniors shared their Infinite Level experiences with me, and today, I will talk about my feelings towards the current realm." After a pause, Li Chen said calmly.
Hearing Li Chen’s words, many powerhouses present showed a look of pleasant surprise, and then earnestly listened.
As of now, Li Chen was a Sky Approacher who had entered the Infinite Level Breakthrough realm. Many of the powerhouses present, aside from Li Chen, had cultivations that were only at the Blood Condensation stage. Moreover, they didn’t know what to do after Blood Condensation, so having a Sky Approacher like Li Chen to share his experience was naturally invaluable.
Remaining in the conference room, Li Chen discussed martial arts with these martial artists for two full days before finally leaving the conference room, somewhat tired, and returning to the small courtyard.
Just as he was about to take a break, he noticed a pair of small hands unknowingly placed on his forehead, gently massaging.
Lin Xiaoxiao.
"When will you leave?"
"I don’t know. I’ll stay for a few more days. These days, I’ll be with all of you and won’t go anywhere." Li Chen said softly.
Lin Xiaoxiao showed a smile on her face, but when Li Chen wasn’t looking, tears glistened in that smile.
Li Chen, in the end, was still going to leave.
In the following days, Li Chen indeed stayed true to his word and went nowhere, staying by his family’s side, cherishing the final warmth.
Although the Heavenly Gate Realm is a world of the strong, it is also filled with unknowns and dangers. If there really are Heaven-level Experts there, even though Li Chen is invincible in the Main World, he would still need to tread carefully over there.
Moreover, Li Chen himself didn’t know when he could return.
Perhaps he might end up like his father, never to return.
A few days later, Li Chen arrived at the peak of the Kunlun Mountains.
At the foot of the mountain, countless people looked up at the figure standing atop the high peak, their eyes filled with excitement.
They knew that this figure was the supreme powerhouse of the Main World and even all the surrounding minor worlds!
"Is that Li Chen?"
"Indeed! He is the legendary one!"
"What is Lord Li Chen going to do?"
"Do what? Why are you here? Lord Li Chen is going to cross boundaries!"
"Cross boundaries? To where?"
"Of course, to the world of the Heaven-level Experts, the Heavenly Gate Realm!"
Li Chen looked down at the countless figures at the foot of the mountain, shook his head, and then turned back again.
In the distance behind him were his friends and family.
"I’m leaving."
With a smile, Li Chen stepped off from the mountain peak, rising into the air.
Bai Haoyue waved a hand, as if softly bidding farewell to a grandson going to study abroad: "Come back soon."
"Come back soon." Wang Qianqian couldn’t help but cover her mouth, suddenly feeling like crying.
Not only her, but Lin Xiaoxiao, Ouyang Wan’er, and others also covered their mouths, their eyes a bit red.
"Don’t worry, I will come back."
Standing in mid-air, Li Chen turned his head, nodding towards everyone.
He reached out a hand, as if touching the space before him.
A look of surprise appeared on Li Chen’s face.
"So, it has nothing to do with power?"
Shaking his head, Li Chen suddenly stepped forward, stepping in.
The next moment, Li Chen’s figure instantly disappeared.
