When Li Chen received the ssage from the grandfathers, he was greatly surprised.
Because the four grandfathers almost never interfered with his affairs, but this ti, they reached out to him through Catherine, urging him to head to the relic quickly.
"The old folks said to wrap up any other matters here as soon as possible," Catherine said.
"I understand."
Li Chen indeed didn’t have much going on recently, apart from cultivating. Most of the ti, he was together with An Qin and Wang Qianqian. The saying ’absence makes the heart grow fonder’ was apt, and it goes without saying about Wang Qianqian.
The key was that An Qin, after tasting so sweet monts, started to cling to Li Chen proactively.
Even Li Chen felt a sensation called ’happiness’.
In fact, over the past two days, Li Chen even tried again sothing he had only experienced once before... that double sothing.
Anyway, he was having a great ti.
Fan Bayin, who also lived in that gloomy house, hadn’t approached him again, seemingly busy with so new tinkering.
Li Chen didn’t want to concern himself with that, so after notifying An Qin and Wang Qianqian, he set off alone to the relic.
When he arrived at the Mong Kok Forest, what he saw made his face darken sowhat.
Although the surroundings seed to have been cleaned up, Li Chen could vaguely see so signs of battle. Moreover, the scale of the battle seed quite significant, with the nearby trees heavily damaged.
Li Chen even saw so peripheral mbers of the Palace of the Nether King working on tending to these trees.
Seeing Li Chen’s arrival, these people one by one saluted him. Li Chen paid them no mind, waving his hand and heading towards the direction of the relic straight away.
Upon stepping into the second layer, he saw the grandfathers all waiting by the lake. This ti, even the Great Grandfather appeared.
"This is..."
Watching the four grandfathers, Li Chen was full of confusion, not understanding why the elderly had called him over.
"Those guys have finally started to show up," Fourth Grandfather said casually while feeding the small crocodile beside him.
But just that one sentence made Li Chen’s face turn extrely grave.
Although he didn’t know who the ’those guys’ ntioned by Fourth Grandfather were, he could see the outside situation. Moreover, those capable of making the grandfathers appear and summon him clearly wouldn’t be easy to handle.
"Who exactly are those guys?" Li Chen hesitated a bit before asking.
This ti, Great Grandfather spoke up.
"So are old enemies of the Li Family, while others are adversaries the Eldest Young Master made during his adventures. Among these guys, there are both strong and weak ones; let’s set aside the weak ones. So of them are even tricky for , so you need to hurry up."
Great Grandfather’s bluntness made Li Chen instantly grasp the situation at hand.
His brows furrowed slightly, and without further ado, he said: "So, all these enemies have now surfaced. And since there’s no one else in the Li Family, they’ve all set their sights on ?"
"You could say that," Great Grandfather said calmly, looking at Li Chen.
"Then what should I do now?"
"Get stronger." Great Grandfather held up a finger: "Right now, the most important thing for you is to quickly improve your strength. We old guys can help hold off so trivial matters temporarily, but so things, only you can face."
Li Chen fell silent, and after a while, he spoke a sentence that surprised the grandfathers.
"Because I am a mber of the Li Family, right?"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, the elders looked at him without speaking, but their eyes conveyed their stance.
Under the elders’ gaze, Li Chen shook his head with a smile: "Though I’ve never valued this identity, the title of Old Li Family did indeed leave considerable wealth."
"You grandfathers, and the Blood of Heaven flowing in , are all treasures of the Li Family." Li Chen shifted his gaze to the lake beside him, his expression calm.
"So, although I never cared about this Li Family, I will still fight for it. After all, I’m the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family now, right?"
When he spoke of ’Eldest Young Master,’ Li Chen’s tone brimd with undisguised sarcasm.
The grandfathers fell silent, knowing the Li Family hadn’t left Li Chen much. Compared to so-called ’wealth’, it had given him powerful enemies instead. Just this fact alone made the elders feel a bit sorry for Li Chen.
But that man had already chosen the path Li Chen was to walk, and even they couldn’t oppose it.
At this mont, Great Grandfather suddenly spoke: "Actually, you are not the eldest young master of the Li Family."
"Hmm?" Li Chen turned his head in so surprise.
"Elder Brother!" Second Grandfather furrowed his brow at this ti.
However, Great Grandfather obviously had no intention of stopping and continued: "Li Chen, in fact, you have two older brothers. Moreover, when you were very young, the Eldest Young Master took your two brothers away. Only you were left here."
Li Chen took a long ti to accept this information.
"In other words, am I the one not favored by my father, whom I have never t, so I was left here?" Li Chen mocked himself.
"Quite the opposite, you are the one most favored by the Eldest Young Master, which is why he left you behind." Great Grandfather spoke decisively: "He said that the talent of the eldest and second young masters was not as good as yours, so he could only take them with him, but you could carve out your own path."
Upon hearing this, Li Chen remained silent.
In the silence, Great Grandfather led Li Chen away.
Towards the Third Layer, which he had never set foot in.
This ti, the grandfathers called him over, also intending to let him train in the third layer of the Relic. According to the grandfathers, without reaching the Earth Level in strength, enduring the pressure of the third layer was impossible.
Initially, Li Chen was sowhat curious about what the third layer would be like, but when he stepped into the third layer of the Relic, he finally understood.
Upon entering the third layer, a terrifying pressure ca from all directions, and even he couldn’t help but stagger.
Here, not only was the Spiritual Energy incredibly dense, but even the gravity on the ground was at least several tis that of the outside world!
"Heh! So this is what it’s like?" Li Chen was not one to admit defeat. After shaking a few tis, he forced himself to stand up, looking at the surrounding white mist with a look of defiance.
However, Great Grandfather Bai Haoyue, standing beside him, noticed the trace of blood at the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.
Yet, there was an almost imperceptible smile on Great Grandfather’s face.
mbers of the Li family should stand tall, and no matter how great the pressure, they should not bend their backs!
Li Chen had done it.
The Spiritual Energy in the third layer was so dense it was heinous. Even soone like Li Chen, who had been to the minor world, could say that the density of Spiritual Energy in the small world was probably not even half that of this third layer.
But for a Martial Artist, absorbing Spiritual Energy is like eating for ordinary people; there is a limit.
If a Martial Artist with insufficient strength faced this dense Spiritual Energy here, they might be too afraid to absorb it, because if not careful, they could be overwheld by this terrifying Spiritual Energy, without even the ti to convert it into True Qi.
Apart from this overwhelmingly dense Spiritual Energy, the third layer was filled entirely with a blanket of white mist.
It’s unclear what these mists are ford from, and even Li Chen’s gaze couldn’t see ten ters beyond.
"Here, it’s not just that the Spiritual Energy is dense; there are also so Spirit Grass and Spiritual dicines in this mist. However, you will have to find these things yourself." Great Grandfather tily spoke beside Li Chen.
"Besides these Spirit Grass and Spiritual dicines, in this mist, there are also..."
Before Great Grandfather could finish his words, he directly reached out and grabbed to the side.
When his hand reerged from the mist, a wolf-like creature, completely snow-white, was already in his grasp.
The wolf-like creature struggled violently even while Great Grandfather gripped its neck, and just from the intensity of the struggle, Li Chen understood that this creature was an entity that had reached the Earth Level in strength.
"Demon Beast. Things that have existed since ancient tis." Great Grandfather explained calmly: "Although Demon Beasts are almost extinct in the outside world now, there are still so in the major Enchanted Worlds."
"This Enchanted World is unimaginably large and has three layers of space. In this layer, not only is the number of Demon Beasts no less than that in the forest of the second layer, but even their strength is much stronger than the Demon Beasts of the second layer."
"If we compare this creature to our Martial Artist’s strength, it should have about Earth Level strength." Great Grandfather glanced at the wolf-like Demon Beast he was holding immobile, and said: "Although these creatures are formidable in strength, Demon Beasts, after all, are Demon Beasts and can’t compare to Martial Artists in intelligence. They are more wild in nature."
"In this layer of space, there are also many Demon Beasts stronger than you, and how to handle them will depend on your abilities." Great Grandfather spoke aningfully: "You should know your limits. Improve your strength well before you go out. Don’t let us down."
Li Chen nodded, his gaze becoming more serious.
This was the first ti he heard Great Grandfather speak so much, and just from this, he could see the peril of the third layer.
It seed that this journey of training wouldn’t be simple.
While Li Chen remained in place, Great Grandfather walked towards the path leading to the second layer. Standing at the exit, Great Grandfather suddenly turned his head and gave Li Chen a aningful look.
"Work hard."
