My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2141: Chapter 2109: So Close Yet Worlds Apart

"Dao Brother looks unfamiliar, may I ask your honored title?" Accompanying Li Chen, the eyes of Konggu Venerable no longer held the arrogance they used to, but instead constantly flattered Li Chen.

Because he knew that his hope for recovery might truly rest on Li Chen.

After all, this was a master of the Alchemy Dao!

Many years ago, he suffered severe injuries somewhere in the Sea Edge Realm and had been healing for more than a thousand years now.

Yet, even after such a long time, he had barely recovered, and some chronic issues remained. If he didn’t find a way to solve these problems, he feared he would never advance further.

"Honored title..." Li Chen thought for a moment. At the heavenly venerable level, few people used their real names; most addressed each other by their honored titles.

He remembered his honored title, seemingly given by that person.

"Red Dust."

Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign! This was Li Chen’s honored title today.

Back then, he was the Red Dust Heavenly King, and now, he was a heavenly sovereign with astonishing power!

"Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign, Dao Brother, this honored title is quite intriguing," Konggu Venerable laughed.

To Li Chen’s surprise, Konggu Venerable turned out to be a Heavenly Sovereign of the same level in the Realm of Shen Tian as him.

A Seventh-Rank Heavenly Sovereign was manageable, but an Eighth-Rank one, even in the Borderland Realm, could wield considerable influence; yet, such an Eighth-Rank Heavenly Sovereign was hiding here.

"What’s so good about the Borderland Realm? Am I full with nothing better to do than to go there and throw myself into a meat grinder?" When Li Chen asked, Konggu Venerable replied, "Besides, when I entered this Sea Edge Realm, I was just a minor king. It was difficult enough to cultivate to the Heavenly Sovereign of Shen Tian level, but I was severely injured and have been healing ever since, with no time to venture to any Borderland Realm."

"This ghostly place can’t be left unless one tears the space apart. But even if you tear the space, who knows where you might end up in the chaotic space currents? If you accidentally drift into the heart of the other three Great Realms, then it’s fun." The eyes of Konggu Venerable had transformed into the image of an old man, shaking his head as he spoke.

Li Chen thought for a moment and agreed with the reasoning.

Thinking back, didn’t he also inexplicably end up in the Immortal Domain?

Space is something that those who understand it dare not mess with, let alone those who don’t.

"I am looking for someone named Cang Ku, who should have entered this Sea Edge Realm as well." Li Chen pondered, glanced at Konggu Venerable, and said, "Have you seen him while guarding here?"

"Well..." Konggu Venerable laughed dryly, knowing from Li Chen’s tone that the person was probably his friend. "About ten years ago, right? There indeed was a guy who broke in, but I wasn’t here then. However, I vaguely remember he should have fallen in the East Suburb Realm over there, though finding him would be quite troublesome."

"This realm doesn’t seem large; is it really difficult to find someone?" Li Chen couldn’t help but ask.

"It just looks small." Konggu Venerable shook his head. "You’ll know when you go down."

When Li Chen and Konggu Venerable descended into the Sea Edge Realm, he finally understood what Konggu Venerable meant by ’looks small.’

This realm actually contained many folded spaces!

Though it appeared to be an ordinary small planet on the surface, within it were numerous folded spaces, like a piece of paper folded multiple times and then crumpled into a ball.

"No one knows how many folded spaces exist in the Sea Edge Realm." Seeing Li Chen’s expression, Konggu Venerable knew Li Chen had noticed something unusual about the Sea Edge Realm, and he was somewhat surprised at how quickly Li Chen had detected it.

Back then, he also spent a lot of time realizing how extraordinary the Sea Edge Realm was.

"Step by Sea Edge, reach as far as the horizon; no wonder this realm is called Sea Edge Realm." After a while, Li Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

"Indeed." Konggu Venerable nodded, "Step by sea edge, reach as far as the horizon. No one knows how many folded spaces are hidden within the Sea Edge Realm, nor how many secrets lie within these folded spaces."

"So, it seems finding him won’t be easy?" Li Chen’s brow furrowed slightly.

"Not easy." Konggu Venerable shook his head. "If someone is intentionally hiding, it’s really hard to find them in this Sea Edge Realm."

Li Chen extended his divine sense and discovered many people around, many engaged in slaughter.

Perhaps, due to the Sea Edge Realm’s powerful concealment, the killing here was more unrestrained; no matter what monstrous deeds were done, one could just find a folded space to hide.

"Wait for me a moment." Suddenly thinking of something, Li Chen’s figure flashed, disappearing from Konggu Venerable’s sight.

"Entered a folded space?" Konggu Venerable was taken aback, then gasped.

Though there were many folded spaces in the Sea Edge Realm, entering one wasn’t easy. Even for him, finding an entrance required considerable time, while Li Chen was able to casually step into a folded space.

What does this imply?

It means in this Sea Edge Realm, unless someone can instantly kill him or obliterate an entire space, they can’t kill him because he can enter a folded space at any time to escape!

Realizing this, Konggu Venerable quickly abandoned any thoughts of luck.

Damn, it’s a good thing he didn’t fight this guy; otherwise, he would be in big trouble.

This was undoubtedly a terrifying being who had mastered space laws to the extreme!

Considering Li Chen was also a master of the Alchemy Dao, so he was surely proficient in formations, Konggu Venerable even suspected Li Chen might be able to set up a super long-distance teleportation array to leave the Sea Edge Realm.

In no time, Li Chen appeared again before Konggu Venerable.

However, this time, Li Chen seemed somewhat different.

"An alter ego?" Konggu Venerable cast a dubious glance at Li Chen, asking.

"Sort of." Li Chen replied.

This was a genetic clone alter ego created by Alice, which Li Chen had enhanced when he returned to the Heaven Realm. It roughly reached the Soul Realm’s level, barely touching the edge of a Seventh-Rank Heavenly Sovereign.

This body had a bit of self-awareness, and Li Chen only needed to attach a tiny portion of his divine sense to control it.

Earlier, when Li Chen entered the folded space, he left the main body with Xiao Chihan, while he intended to use this alter ego to search for Cang Ku with Konggu Venerable.

His main body, meanwhile, planned to wander with Xiao Chihan, looking for opportunities.

"Master, did I just see you leave a body in the minor world?" Xiao Chihan asked, looking at Li Chen, and couldn’t help but inquire.

"That’s an avatar for comprehending laws; it’s been around for a long time, always studying laws." Li Chen patted Xiao Chihan’s head, " cultivation must never pause. Remember to create one when you manage to make an avatar."

"Okay!" Xiao Chihan nodded vigorously, "Master, make sure to teach me the method of creating an avatar! With the main body adventuring and avatar cultivating, there’s nothing better!"

"Just, why don’t you have your main body cultivate and let the avatar go adventuring?"

Li Chen’s previously gentle hand suddenly intensified, smacking the back of Xiao Chihan’s head, "You talk too much!"
