My gorgeous wife Chapter 1970 - 1938: Supreme Asura Realm, Heartless Sea, Penglai Celestial Island

"Supreme Asura Realm?" A look of shock unintentionally flickered across Li Chen’s face.

The name wasn’t unfamiliar to him, as he had learned from the Heavenly Dao’s voice that the current Heaven Realm, before its fragmentation, was known as the Supreme Asura Realm!

However, did the Supreme Asura Realm also address each other as Daoists? Wasn’t that an appellation used among immortals?

Furthermore, how did he end up here?

Observing Li Chen’s expression, the young man offered a sympathetic shake of his head. "It seems Daoist encountered some peril in the starry sky and was inadvertently transported to the Supreme Asura Realm?"

Li Chen’s expression momentarily faltered, and then he nodded.

"In the vastness of the starry sky, dangers are boundless, and the unknown domains are simply too numerous. Daoist must exercise caution when exploring the cosmos," the young man advised.

Li Chen could discern the sincerity in the young man’s words.

Moreover, his aura lacked the fierce presence of a Heaven Realm martial artist; instead, it emanated only harmony and tranquility.

"Thank you for the reminder," Li Chen replied with a smile, cupping his hands towards the young man.

"I am Zhuo Wuju; may I inquire this Daoist’s honorable name?" The young man, noticing Li Chen had regained his composure, also returned the gesture and asked with a grin.

"Li Chen," Li Chen stated after a brief thought. He then inquired, "Might I ask, Daoist, where in the Supreme Asura Realm is this location?"

The young man nodded. "This place is the Heartless Sea within the Heavenly Spirit Domain. Is this Daoist’s first visit?"

"Heartless Sea?" The name stirred a faint sense of familiarity within Li Chen, though he had never heard of places like the Heavenly Spirit Domain. Nevertheless, he confirmed, "Indeed, it is my first time here."

"I am currently preparing to journey to Penglai Heavenly Island. Since we have crossed paths by chance, would you be amenable to traveling together if you are free?" the young man proposed with a smile.

Li Chen considered for a moment before nodding. "Then, I shall trouble Daoist Zhuo to guide the way."

Although the young man had not displayed his full power, Li Chen could sense that he was undoubtedly a formidable individual.

Furthermore, that subtle air of obscurity led Li Chen to believe this young man was likely an expert at the Heavenly Venerable level, perhaps one who had recently achieved it, but a Heavenly Venerable nonetheless!

What was even more astonishing was that the young man’s youth was not an act; his true age was certainly no more than fifty.

A Heavenly Venerable under the age of one hundred would be considered a top prodigy in the current Heaven Realm, but one under fifty could potentially be unrivaled throughout the entire Heaven Realm.

Even Li Changcun had surpassed that age.

Yet, here he had casually encountered such a terrifying talent?

Accompanying the young man, the two boarded an exceptionally remarkable flying magical treasure, charting a course towards the Penglai Heavenly Island mentioned earlier.

"I observe that your Cultivation is quite profound, nearly reaching the Soul Realm?" Despite his formidable talent, the young man exhibited no arrogance, engaging Li Chen in peaceful conversation.

"Indeed, I have been at the peak of the Domain Realm for some time, preparing to break through into the Soul Realm," Li Chen confirmed. As they conversed, Li Chen noted that the young man’s speech did not mention Heavenly Kings or Heavenly Venerables, simply categorizing power by mere divisions of the Heavenly Rank Ninth Stage and the Domain Realm Soul Realm.

The two engaged in casual conversation throughout their journey.

Li Chen, having cultivated techniques derived from the Seven Realms Tome, possessed an exceptional grasp of martial arts and laws. The young man was also a rare peerless genius, making their exchange highly stimulating.

At moments, Li Chen almost forgot his original objective, utterly absorbed in discussing cultivation principles with the young man.

This purely intellectual discourse brought Li Chen a profound sense of inner peace.

"We have arrived."

After what felt like several days of continuous discussion, the young man and Li Chen finally resurfaced from their deep conversation. With a smile, the young man gazed into the distance. "We have reached Penglai Heavenly Island."

"Is this... Penglai Heavenly Island?"

Throughout their discourse, the flying magical treasure had navigated across vast expanses of sea, finally reaching the island now suspended above the water before them.

Indeed, it was hovering.

The entire island was not anchored to the seabed but rather floated above the sea's surface; even Li Chen could not ascertain whether this was achieved through formations or some other method.

"Brother Li, this event is a grand gathering hosted by Lord Mingmeng, extending invitations to talented individuals from across the Supreme Asura Realm. It is rumored that even the Lord of the Heavenly Dao will be present. If we are fortunate enough to hear a lecture from the Lord of the Heavenly Dao, our gains will undoubtedly be immense," Zhuo Wuju expressed with palpable excitement.

"Inviting talents from all corners of the world, is it..." Li Chen's expression shifted, a hint of hesitation clouding his features.

The hesitation wasn't just about gathering talents; it stemmed from Zhuo Wuju's mention of... the Heavenly Dao!

"Could it be, it really is that one?"

As Li Chen remained lost in thought, Zhuo Wuju chuckled, taking Li Chen's arm. "Brother Li, from our conversation, I can tell you are indeed a person of extraordinary gifts. Why not grace this gathering with your presence? I am certain everyone will be thrilled to welcome a new talent among them."

"Are you sure that's... acceptable?"

"Absolutely, there is no issue whatsoever," Zhuo Wuju replied with a smile. "In truth, though we reside scattered throughout the Supreme Asura Realm, most of us are acquainted. A new friend joining our ranks is something they would undoubtedly embrace."

Li Chen nodded in agreement. "Then, very well."

He was also eager to discover who these 'talents from all over' were that Zhuo Wuju spoke of, and to gauge the true extent of their abilities.

The Supreme Asura Realm... was it perhaps the Heaven Realm before its shattering?

A complex swirl of emotions suddenly stirred within Li Chen's heart.

Faintly, he began to grasp the underlying meaning behind Zhang Shutong's earlier words.

Penglai Heavenly Island was vast, its surroundings appearing much like any other city, yet here, a distinct difference was evident – the residents themselves radiated powerful auras.

Li Chen took a cursory look around and noticed that, with the exception of a few young children, nearly everyone present was either a Heavenly King or a Heavenly Venerable.

This observation indicated that within this domain, cultivators did not distinguish between the ordinary and the King-Level Venerable ranks.

It is commonly understood that upon achieving the Higher Heaven Realm, one attains the status of a Heavenly King, and upon reaching the Salt Heaven Realm, they become a Heavenly Venerable.

It bears mentioning that Penglai Heavenly Island is by no means smaller than a city like the Mo clan's city.

Among the populace here, all those who have surpassed the Higher Heaven Realm are recognized as Heavenly King Heavenly Venerables; such an overwhelming concentration of power is unparalleled, even when compared to the Borderland Realm.

"Lord Mingmeng's residence is just a short distance ahead. I shall have the pleasure of introducing you to some friends; they are all individuals of exceptional talent, and I am confident they will be delighted to meet you, Brother Li."

With these words, Zhuo Wuju guided Li Chen towards a courtyard adorned with a multitude of spiritual plants.

Simply by stepping into this courtyard, Li Chen felt an immediate sense of coolness wash over him, as if any impurities within his body were being effortlessly purified in that very moment.

"Brother Wuju has arrived!"

"It's Brother Zhuo! Oh, and Brother Zhuo has brought a guest?"
