After subduing Ju Mang, Li Chen, under its guidance, successfully found the Wood Elent Formation Crystal Stone in the core area of Jupiter.
Moreover, on this Jupiter, there are also Crystal Stones with a very high purity of Spiritual Power.
However, Jupiter is a gas giant, and the difficulty of mining these Crystal Stones is very high.
If forcibly mined, the entire atmosphere of Jupiter would escape into space.
By then, Jupiter would cease to exist.
Realizing this, Li Chen did not attempt to forcibly mine.
Plus, after subduing the Five Great Divine Beasts, he still needs the Spiritual Power from these Crystal Stones as energy to fuel and construct a powerful Array, making mining unnecessary.
After dealing with the matters on Jupiter, Li Chen did not linger and prepared for his next target.
Saturn!
Saturn borders Jupiter and is the second-largest in diater after Jupiter in the Solar System.
It is sowhat similar to Jupiter, both being gas giants composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of trace elents. Inside, in the core, are rocks and ice.
With the experience of exploring Jupiter, Li Chen headed directly to the internal core upon entering Saturn.
After all, the Earth Bear belongs to the Earth Elent Divine Beast, and its living environnt definitely requires rocks.
Throughout Saturn, only the core region has rocks, while the rest is mostly gas.
Although both are gas giants, compared to Jupiter, the wind speed here is much larger, at least ten tis that of Jupiter.
Even Li Chen, when encountering Saturn’s great storms, had to slow down, cautiously advancing forward.
Fearing that a slight negligence could get him swept into a spatial rift by the violent hurricane.
After an unknown amount of ti, Li Chen exerted great effort to finally reach Saturn’s core area.
However, much to his surprise, there was no presence of the Earth Bear here.
Worried he might be mistaken, Li Chen conducted a carpet search throughout Saturn’s core region.
But after searching inside and outside three tis, he still found nothing.
Strange, how could this be?
Could it be that he guessed wrong, and Emperor Zhuanxu did not set up anything on Saturn?
Li Chen pondered repeatedly, starting to ntally simulate his judgnts over and over.
With evidence from the Fire Phoenix and Ju Mang, Emperor Zhuanxu definitely engaged in significant projects in the Solar System ten thousand years ago.
Furthermore, during his investigation of Saturn’s core region, Li Chen found evidence of man-made alterations to the rocks here.
This also indirectly proves that Emperor Zhuanxu indeed visited Saturn.
But why is there no Earth Bear and Earth Elent Formation Stone here?
Could the Earth Bear have escaped beforehand?
But considering this possibility again, Li Chen found it unlikely.
After all, Saturn is a gas giant, and the Earth Bear’s chance of escape is almost negligible.
Li Chen racked his brains but still couldn’t make sense of it.
He planned to first leave Saturn and check the other planets to see if the situation matched his previous speculation.
As Li Chen left Saturn with a heavy heart and passed through Saturn’s rings, a sudden illumination struck him.
Imdiately, he redirected his course and started flying around the rings.
As he approached Enceladus, Li Chen keenly sensed so unusual disturbances coming from it.
This discovery ignited a spark of hope in Li Chen’s heart.
Without any hesitation, he headed straight for Enceladus.
Compared to the moons of Jupiter, Saturn’s moons are generally very small, with a cold surface full of teor-impact craters, like shattered eggshells. They have desolate plains, craters, and folded ridges, quite similar to the moon’s surface.
Li Chen landed on Enceladus and began carefully surveying the topography.
Quickly, he found traces of large creature activity.
Moreover, inside a crater, Li Chen discovered a very large footprint.
Judging by the appearance, it is highly likely to be the Earth Bear!
Realizing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.
As long as the Earth Bear is here, everything else can be dealt with!
However, the challenge of finding the Earth Bear lood large in Li Chen’s mind.
Enceladus is not very large, yet neither is it very small, finding the Earth Bear among it is not an easy task.
After a brief mont of contemplation, Li Chen planned to lure the bear out, oh no, draw the bear out from hiding.
He released the Red Tiger and Fire Phoenix, allowing them to frequently move around, one on land, the other in mid-air.
As for Taotie, its nature was too aggressive, so Li Chen dared not let it out.
As it might spot the Earth Bear and imdiately start a battle, escalating matters to uncontrollable levels, adding unnecessary complications.
Taotie had no objections to this.
Unable to eat, only an idiot would work hard while it’s more fun to sleep soundly.
Ju Mang was still recovering from the fall of its Eden Garden, and temporarily unsuitable for this hard labor.
Li Chen’s strategy produced instant results.
The Fire Phoenix had just soared into the sky, letting out a series of sharp cries, which caught the attention of a giant bear.
This giant bear was none other than the Earth Bear!
It had interacted with the Fire Phoenix before and even fought several tis, so it recognized the Fire Phoenix at a glance.
However, the sudden appearance of the Fire Phoenix in this place indeed surprised it.
Nevertheless, the Earth Bear didn’t dwell on it much.
After all, it was a simple-minded creature, with more brawn than brains.
Rather than wasting ti pondering, it might be better to go out and ask the Fire Phoenix directly, and if needed, have another fight.
It’s not like it hadn’t fought before—what was there to fear?
"Boom boom boom!"
The Earth Bear pounded its chest with fists like iron hamrs, making a loud thudding sound.
Then, like a Fierce Tiger descending the mountain, it charged forward, uprooting trees along the way, occasionally throwing back its massive head to roar at the Fire Phoenix.
"Fire Phoenix, what are you doing here?"
The Fire Phoenix realized the Earth Bear had discovered it and imdiately let out a series of sharp cries directed skyward.
This wasn’t in response to the Earth Bear but to inform Li Chen and Red Tiger!
"Hey, you feathery creature, old bear’s asking you a question, what are you screeching about?"
The Earth Bear, seeing the Fire Phoenix ignoring it, bellowed angrily once more.
However, before it could finish its sentence, it suddenly sensed sothing amiss.
It noticed the presence of Red Tiger!
Red Tiger was originally nearby the Fire Phoenix, so when it heard the signal, it rushed over imdiately.
Seeing Red Tiger appear suddenly, the Earth Bear couldn’t help but beco vigilant.
However, it didn’t think too much of it, assuming that the Fire Phoenix was worried about not being able to defeat it and had brought help.
Thinking of this, it spat in its heart, secretly cursing: "Bah, you Fire Phoenix are really petty. It’s not a big deal, and even after a hundred thousand years, you still bring help to seek revenge!"
After cursing silently in its heart, the Earth Bear frantically beat its chest and roared fiercely:
"Hmph, Fire Phoenix, you think bringing a helper will make old bear afraid of you?"
After roaring, it took a stance, ready for a fight.
Ever since Emperor Zhuanxu had sent it to this godforsaken place a hundred thousand years ago, it had been itching for a fight.
Now that the Fire Phoenix had co on its own, even knowing it might lose, it wished to fight and stretch its muscles and bones.
Seeing that after all these hundred thousand years, the Earth Bear’s temper hadn’t changed a bit, the Fire Phoenix couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
The Earth Bear, seeing the Fire Phoenix laugh suddenly, raised its voice: "Fire Phoenix, what are you laughing at? Do you really think that bringing a helper will make old bear afraid of you?"
The Fire Phoenix stifled its laughter and explained: "Earth Bear, you are mistaken, I didn’t co here to fight you!"
The Earth Bear was astonished, loudly and half-doubtfully asking: "You didn’t co to fight , then why did you co, and brought a helper too?"
The Fire Phoenix said: "It’s not who wants to find you, but my master!"
Hearing the Fire Phoenix’s reply, the Earth Bear was montarily bewildered.
With a look of shock and amazent, it asked: "Who is your master?"
Right after asking, a terrifying na popped into its mind, causing it to shiver involuntarily.
"Could it be Emperor Zhuanxu?"
"It’s not Emperor Zhuanxu, it’s !"
Before the Fire Phoenix could answer, a voice devoid of emotion suddenly ca over.
The Earth Bear turned to look and saw a young man approaching, leaving lotus blossoms in his wake with every step.
Seeing that the newcor was not Emperor Zhuanxu but a stranger, the Earth Bear was even more astonished.
Then, with a sowhat disdainful tone, it exclaid: "Human cultivator?"
Divine Beasts like the Earth Bear generally looked down on the Human Clan.
Li Chen smiled faintly and said: "Earth Bear, how have you been staying here?"
His tone was very calm, like an old friend exchanging greetings.
This sudden gentleness from Li Chen nearly threw the Earth Bear off balance.
"How I’m doing here is none of your business. Just say it straight, what do you want with ?"
Li Chen chuckled and said: "Oh, nothing much, just thought of becoming your master. Wonder if you would grant that face?"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, the Earth Bear almost jumped up.
"What the heck, you want to be my master?"
Li Chen shrugged and answered: "Yes, exactly. You have two paths you can take now!"
The Earth Bear asked: "Which two?"
Li Chen first raised one finger and said: "The first path is to obediently recognize as your master!"
Before Li Chen could finish, the Earth Bear hurried to ask.
"Then what’s the second?"
Li Chen smiled mysteriously and replied: "The second is, I beat you up badly, and then you recognize as your master!"
