Chapter 2147: Chapter 2115: Snow Mountain
"We’ve arrived! Finally arrived!"
When Li Chen and Konggu Venerable passed through a folded space and eventually entered a vast world, Konggu Venerable couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The vast world before them was the East Suburb Realm.
Though the folded space was not small, it was limited in size, generally akin to a Heavenly City. However, the East Suburb Realm before them was clearly beyond comparison to a mere city.
This place was a true world.
Comparable to the planet world of the External Edge Sea World.
For Konggu Venerable, successfully reaching the East Suburb Realm also meant he was one step closer to recovery.
Li Chen had promised him that as long as they found the person they were looking for, he would help him heal his injuries. With such a promise, Konggu Venerable was naturally full of motivation.
"Is this the East Suburb Realm you mentioned?" Li Chen looked at the vast world before him and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Cang Ku, as Little Cang’s alter ego, had existed for so many years and was an old fox-like presence. If he intentionally hid in such a naturally suitable place for hiding, it wouldn’t be easy for others to find him.
However, there was also a downside.
Li Chen feared that finding Cang Ku would also become quite troublesome.
"Let’s search." Li Chen glanced at the Konggu Venerable beside him, unable to help but sigh as he spoke.
Konggu Venerable seemed to understand Li Chen’s thoughts at this moment and nodded, "Let’s go into the city and ask around first."
Li Chen was now genuinely a bit troubled. He discovered something.
Although multitasking seemed appealing in theory, it was indeed a bit challenging to execute.
Just now, his alter ego comprehending the Law in the minor world almost made a mistake.
"There needs to be a focus..." In another folded space, Li Chen’s main body sighed.
Just now, he suddenly lost focus and staggered, leaving bloodstains on the snowy ground.
"Comprehending such matters cannot be done recklessly. This time one clone just collapsed. If the main body was comprehending in the minor world, it probably would have left me seriously injured this time." Li Chen sighed lightly and sent another clone into the minor world.
In his heart, Li Chen already had an idea.
The alter ego was still manageable for now; after all, it was controlled with just a wisp of Divine Sense, although this required even more attention.
Unlike the Soul Splitting Technique, where two souls exist independently, able to think about different things simultaneously and make judgments independently.
However, an alter ego was a very special existence. When comprehending with an alter ego, if it collapsed, all prior information would be transmitted to Li Chen’s mind in an instant.
Just now, the incorrect comprehension by the alter ego entered Li Chen’s mind, causing him to be injured instantly.
"Let it be."
After thinking for a bit, Li Chen had the alter ego dispersed, temporarily halting the comprehension. He feared that continuing might lead to issues with himself before gaining any insights.
Surveying the frigid, snowy surroundings, Li Chen shook his head and continued forward.
The Sea Edge Realm had existed for countless years, seemingly as ancient as the Heartless Sea. Nobody knew how the Sea Edge Realm formed, and there were even external speculations that it was leftover by one of the two powerful figures who caused the Heartless Sea’s emergence back then.
However, the truth has always remained elusive.
Due to the lack of understanding about the Sea Edge Realm, external speculation often ran wild. However, it was different for the native creatures of the Sea Edge Realm.
Although they might not fully understand the secrets of the Sea Edge Realm, over countless years, they have made discoveries unknown to the outside world.
Walking amidst the snowstorm, Li Chen arrived at the center of the icy land.
It was a snow mountain, a very tall snow mountain...
Li Chen looked up at the snow mountain, which seemed to connect heaven and earth, and silently proceeded to climb it.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t fly, but rather a sudden intuition told him that flying wouldn’t reach the place he truly needed to be.
Only by relying on his own legs could he reach where he wanted to go, to see what he wished to see.
At Li Chen’s waist, Red Moon gently trembled.
After absorbing that drop of blood, Red Moon remained in this state as if something had awakened. Even its consciousness was in a dazed state, not even responding to Li Chen’s calls.
But upon approaching the snow mountain, Li Chen noticed that Red Moon seemed to ’wake up’, the daze gradually fading. The closer they were, the faster Red Moon revived.
Li Chen felt that he was about to see what he wanted to see.
Gently stroking the blade of Red Moon, he calmed it down.
"Since you want to know your origins, then I’ll thoroughly find out for you." Li Chen whispered.
Braving the wind and snow, Li Chen began ascending the Great Snow Mountain.
At the same time, Red Moon’s artifact spirit curled up in the depths of the blade, holding its head with an expression of agony.
Scene after scene was intermittently appearing in its mind.
These scenes were fragmented but seemed deeply connected to it. Each scene trembled the spirit of Red Moon.
There were blood-soaked figures towering above the heavens.
There were Heaven-shrouding black Demon Shadows.
There were rays soaring into the sky, glowing with seven colors.
And terrifying battles tearing the sky apart.
Blood light flooded the heavens, Demon Shadows covering the sky, clashing fiercely with the seven-colored light, tearing the firmament and shattering the earth. Countless lives vanished in that scene of great destruction, blood shadows howled, Demon Shadows roared, and that doomsday-like scene continuously shook Red Moon’s soul.
It felt as if those scenes were intricately connected to it.
"What are these? Are they connected to me?"
"Where did I... come from, and what relation do they have to me?"
"Ah!! Ah!!!"
Red Moon’s roar made the blade tremble slightly.
Under Li Chen’s soothing, it could calm down a bit.
"Let’s go, and see what it truly is." Li Chen comforted Red Moon as he spoke.
A figure appeared beside Li Chen.
Red Moon’s eyes were as if soaked in blood, a terrifying red, in a state of severe agitation, seemingly on the verge of frenzy.
"Master, I will accompany you." Red Moon said, "Since it concerns me, I must see with my own eyes the kind of secrets harbored within me!"
"Your current state..." Li Chen frowned, looking at Red Moon.
"It’s okay." Red Moon shook its head, "No matter how many obstacles, I’ve overcome them. I believe I can persist this time as well."
Pondering for a moment, Li Chen finally nodded, "Alright then, let’s go together."
