My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2123: Chapter 2091: Menghai City

Li Chen didn’t pay much attention to the two people he had saved in passing.

To him, it was just something he did on a whim, at most a good deed checked off.

The main thing on his mind was still his own disciple’s Tribulation.

As for that other group who claimed to be from the Heaven Sea Alliance, why would Li Chen care whether they lived or died?

In a Heaven Realm where the strong are revered, with the attitude those people showed,换成 any other expert, they’d have been reduced to ashes with a wave of the hand. Who would bother wasting words on them? Li Chen was already leaving them a sliver of hope.

Of course, whether they could survive or not would depend on themselves.

He glanced at the "False Heavenly Tribulation" he’d created and, very satisfied, turned and left.

Xiao Chihan’s Tribulation was steady—too steady. His foundation was solid, which was what Li Chen both appreciated and envied the most. His cultivation speed was absurdly fast, yet his cultivation was so stable. Back then, even Li Chen himself hadn’t dared to break through because his cultivation was progressing too quickly and he was afraid his foundation would be unstable.

But in this regard, his disciple was far stronger than he was.

"Master."

When Li Chen saw Xiao Chihan again, Xiao Chihan’s face was all smiles. "I’ve already reached the Envy Heaven Realm."

Li Chen raised his hand and slapped him. "I know. Still need to show off in front of your master?"

Xiao Chihan was slapped silly, baffled. Where had he managed to offend his master this time?

"Let’s go. Come with me into the city to have a look around, see if there’s anything good." Li Chen said casually.

Of course, he really was just saying it casually. At his current level, there weren’t many things left that could qualify as "good stuff" in his eyes.

The Heartless Sea counted as a relatively important place for Li Chen.

Because he planned to pick a suitable place there for the people of the Palace of the Nether King to settle down. Besides that, he had another important matter he intended to accomplish in the Heartless Sea.

And that was... resurrection!

Right now, Li Chen only had two Nine-leaf Resurrection Flowers in his hands. He planned to use the Reincarnation Law within the Heartless Sea, borrowing the power of the Nine-leaf Resurrection Flowers to carry out... resurrection for two people!

Because there were only two Nine-leaf Resurrection Flowers, Li Chen didn’t have many choices. He could only resurrect two people.

These two were Lilith and Cherie.

They were the two people Li Chen felt most regretful and guilty about on this whole journey.

Although there were many in the Palace of the Nether King still waiting for him to resurrect them, with only two Nine-leaf Resurrection Flowers, he really had no other choice.

"In the future, if there’s a chance, I’ll definitely bring everyone back!" Li Chen made a grand vow in his heart.

Although he also knew that no matter how you looked at it, resurrection was an extremely difficult thing to pull off. Even if those people’s cultivations were still low, resurrection was ultimately an act that went against the will of Heaven. No matter how weak they’d been, bringing them back was incomparably difficult.

As for some powerful existences, trying to resurrect them was almost completely impossible.

"I’m sorry." Li Chen murmured inwardly, not even sure who he was apologizing to.

At his side, Xiao Chihan keenly noticed that his master wasn’t in a great mood, so he didn’t say anything more. He just followed along quietly, not uttering a word.

"Master, is this one of the great cities of the Heaven Realm? It’s so spectacular."

When Li Chen brought Xiao Chihan into the city, Xiao Chihan still couldn’t help sighing with emotion.

Although Xiao Chihan was now already in the Envy Heaven Realm, this was, in the strictest sense, his first time entering a Heavenly City.

He found that although the world up here was, in some sense, different from the Lower Realm in terms of development—many things from the Lower Realm couldn’t be seen in the Heaven Realm—everything in the Heaven Realm was far more magnificent than in the Lower Realm. Especially the cities—just this one Heavenly City was grander and more imposing than any city he’d ever seen.

"This is just an ordinary city. That’s enough to shock you like this?" Li Chen chuckled. "What if you see a bigger one, are you going to faint from fright?"

"There are ones even bigger?" Xiao Chihan’s eyes widened, filled with curiosity.

"There are." Li Chen nodded with a light laugh.

Xiao Chihan’s current expression was pretty much the same as Li Chen’s had been when he first saw Baiyue City. That vastness had really left him in awe. But later, as his cultivation improved, his horizons changed.

By now, no matter how spectacular a building was, it wouldn’t move Li Chen anymore.

Because Li Chen knew very well that while these structures might look impressive, for those skilled in construction—Law Masters of the Earth System or the Wood system—raising some massive building was nothing more than a matter of a blink.

The key was still the Formation Guard of a city and the expert sitting in town.

Those were the true foundations of a city.

But in terms of sheer size, the city in front of them could indeed be called grand and majestic, far more vast and impressive than Formless City, the prefectural city of Nanxiang Prefecture.

"Menghai City!"

Smacking his lips, Li Chen walked along the streets of this city with Xiao Chihan, feeling the bustling atmosphere around them. Rarely, a trace of leisure surfaced in his expression.

Starting from the Immortal Domain, battle after battle, he’d fought his way all the way to the Ancient Battle Realm, then fallen from the Ancient Battle Realm back to Earth, and in the end he’d returned to Earth again.

Yet even when he was on Earth, Li Chen couldn’t find that familiar feeling from back then.

Li Chen realized that, without noticing it, he had already gotten used to the Heaven Realm.

It was like an ancient man suddenly entering the modern age, utterly unaccustomed to all the things of the modern world.

Earth’s technology advanced with each passing day. For Li Chen, who had been away for more than ten years, he really was like someone from ancient times.

Actually, when he had first entered the Heaven Realm, Li Chen had also been somewhat unaccustomed to it.

But after so many years, he gradually adapted to the way of life in the Four Great Realms.

After entering Menghai City, Li Chen didn’t delay. He went straight to buy several maps of the Heartless Sea with Xiao Chihan in tow.

According to the people from the Star Land of Heavenly Might, the Heartless Sea was vast beyond measure, and many areas had yet to be fully explored. So outside, only fragmentary sea charts of the Heartless Sea were sold, and each piece was quite precious. Li Chen bought a whole stack in one go—partly because he wanted the most complete map possible, and partly because he wanted to know how many regions of the Heartless Sea still remained unexplored.

To him, those unexplored areas might very well contain a future refuge he was about to prepare for the Palace of the Nether King.

So Li Chen’s choices were very targeted.

The shopkeeper selling the maps almost burst into laughter.

These kinds of maps were obviously expensive, yet this rich customer didn’t even bother haggling, just tossed down a large pile of Spirit Crystals and left with them. Customers like that were really rare.

As long as he could achieve his goal, Li Chen wouldn’t care about this bit of money.

"Right, I want to ask you about someone." Li Chen said directly to the shopkeeper.

"Please, go ahead. The information is on the house." The shopkeeper replied with narrowed, smiling eyes.
