Upon hearing King Dao Lan’s words, Li Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
No matter what, he and King Dao Lan were not yet truly familiar, and King Dao Lan’s abrupt question involving his privacy already seed sowhat overstepping.
Though it was a sound transmission, Li Chen still hesitated to answer; however, the problem was that he had indeed used the Nine Palaces Heavenly Bead before.
"Yes," Li Chen ultimately replied after a mont’s hesitation.
"I thought so," King Dao Lan fell silent upon hearing Li Chen’s affirmative response.
"If I’m not mistaken, those heavenly realm martial artists on the battlefield earlier should already be eyeing you," King Dao Lan spoke.
A hint of disdain appeared on Li Chen’s face; since he entered the heavenly realm, many had designs on him, yet he was still living well now. If they dared to co, he’d ensure they wouldn’t co back!
Seeing Li Chen’s expression, King Dao Lan naturally understood what Li Chen was thinking and shook his head: "I know, given your current strength, you are not afraid of them. Not to make you laugh, I initially intended to take you as my disciple, but now it seems even if you really beca my pupil, I couldn’t protect you."
"What do you an?" Li Chen was intrigued, sensing an underlying implication from King Dao Lan’s words.
"Whether you have the true Nine Palaces Heavenly Bead, this matter, I don’t think it will be long before the top-level powerhouses in the heavenly realm know about it," King Dao Lan shook his head: "It seems you don’t understand the importance of the Nine Great Treasures to the heavenly realm."
"Since ancient tis, the Nine Great Treasures have almost completely vanished. Even a rank strong individual with a supre treasure can easily fight above their rank. Imagine how strong an Ascended Heaven Realm Heavenly Lord holding a supre treasure would be," King Dao Lan explained.
Li Chen contemplated for a mont and then gasped lightly.
Venerable King Level, originally ant the ability to fight above one’s rank; thus an Ascended Heaven Realm holding a supre treasure would transcend two major realms beyond the ordinary Ascended Heaven?
What terrifying combat strength is that?
"Up to now, among known strong warriors, only Daiyu Heavenly Venerable from the borderlands possesses a supre treasure, while all other treasures are unaccounted for. Therefore, nearly all top-level powerhouses are searching for supre treasures."
King Dao Lan shook his head: "I think soon, so top-level powerhouse will co looking for you. Luckily, today we encountered soone like War God Xingtian, a fair ancient warrior. With soone else, they might have taken your supre treasure imdiately."
Li Chen felt his heart sink.
It seems he underestimated the influence of the supre treasure and made a poor decision.
But what’s done is done, so there’s no point in regretting it.
"Don’t you want a supre treasure?" Li Chen suddenly posed the question, looking intently at King Dao Lan.
"Of course," King Dao Lan didn’t hesitate to nod, then chuckled: "But in my heart, there’s only the Way of the Sword. No matter how great a supre treasure is, it’s not my path. Moreover, you’re the person I intended to take as a disciple; if I set my sights on your treasure, wouldn’t I be failing as a person?"
Li Chen’s heart was filled with admiration.
Perhaps others are stronger, but in Li Chen’s heart, only a martial artist with truly firm conviction is a genuine strong warrior.
King Dao Lan, not only is his strength formidable but he also possesses the heart of a true powerhouse!
Li Chen slightly turned his head, glancing at Zhen Xi beside him: "Why haven’t you left yet?"
Zhen Xi’s brows instantly furrowed: "I say, brat, weren’t we comrades earlier? Are you so eager to drive away?"
"Li Chen, quickly find a place and hide for a while. It’s not too late to co out once you’re stronger," King Dao Lan looked toward Bai Shi, who was carrying the unconscious Qilin Clan youth and said: "I’ll take this Qilin Clan mber away, along with the Heaven Swallowing Roar... after all, she’s not a native powerhouse of our heavenly realm."
King Dao Lan’s words were pointed, but he also demonstrated his distrust toward Zhen Xi.
Li Chen understood King Dao Lan’s aning; if you’re not from my group, your heart will certainly differ.
Li Chen nodded to show his understanding.
"Old Bai."
He instructed Bai Shi to hand the Qilin Clan youth to King Dao Lan, then turned to Zhen Xi: "If you don’t leave, then I’ll leave first."
Upon saying that, Li Chen pulled Bai Shi and imdiately opened the space gate and stepped inside.
Zhen Xi just attempted to follow, yet realized the space gate had closed imdiately.
"That brat!" Zhen Xi gnashed her teeth, looking at the direction where Li Chen vanished, stamping her foot fiercely: "He’s infuriating!"
Beside her, King Dao Lan chuckled lightly: "Senior, I’m soon heading back to the borderlands. Would you like to accompany ?"
"I..." Zhen Xi’s voice halted, her eyes shifted quickly before she replied: "I have so matters to attend to, so I won’t be going. Please give my regards to those old guys... actually, never mind, just say you hadn’t seen , I’m leaving now!"
After speaking, Zhen Xi flashed and imdiately disappeared from King Dao Lan’s view, showing no signs of the previous weakness that left her immobile.
Evidently, Zhen Xi still feared eting so Elder Heavenly Venerates from the heavenly realm.
Watching Zhen Xi vanish, King Dao Lan chuckled, roughly guessing her thoughts, but when looking at the direction Li Chen left, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of worry in his eyes.
"Hope you’re able to avoid this tribulation. Presently, the heavenly realm indeed lacks soone who can truly stand out against the other three realms," King Dao Lan’s voice harbored a trace of helplessness and bitterness.
Ever since the ancient battle, the pinnacle powerhouses of the heavenly realm have all hidden away; no one knew their whereabouts, or if they completely secluded themselves. Even with borderland wars reerging, these ancient powerhouses have not reappeared.
The demon realm has a Demon Emperor, the immortal realm a Dao Ancestor, and the divine realm a God.
And the heavenly realm?
Currently, the heavenly realm’s only pillar is Daiyu Heavenly Venerable.
But Daiyu Heavenly Venerable...
King Dao Lan sighed inwardly.
Seeing the ssage on the jade slip, the borderland’s powerhouses are already on their way here; soon, he won’t need to manage these matters.
Moreover, there’s War God Xingtian on that side now. Unless the demon realm wishes to engage in another massive conflict with the heavenly realm, the situation should be nearly resolved. Though others are unaware, he knows there’s been a recent major clash between the demon and divine realms, so they wouldn’t dare initiate a large-scale battle against the heavenly realm at this mont.
Even if the heavenly realm’s strength isn’t comparable to the other three realms now, it isn’t easily bullied.
Yet, just as King Dao Lan was about to put away the ssage jade slip, it flickered vigorously once again.
Moreover, this ti the flickering was exceedingly intense, clearly indicating a very urgent ssage.
King Dao Lan gravely took out the jade slip once more.
It contained just one piece of information.
"Daiyu Heavenly Venerable resolved his fate through reincarnation at Tianlun Mountain in the borderland realm."
"Snap." The ssage jade slip fell from King Dao Lan’s hand to the ground, murmuring: "The heavenly realm... is going to be chaotic."
