My gorgeous wife Chapter 2187 - 2155: Return Once More

"The starry universe is truly vast and boundless."

In the depths of the universe, a beam of escape light, moving at an impossibly indiscernible speed, was rapidly traversing through space.

Compared to this beam of escape light, even light itself seemed lethargic and slow.

A light-year is a unit of distance, meaning that even light would take a year to traverse it.

But under this beam of escape light, a light-year was merely a blink of an eye.

Its speed was unbelievably fast.

Li Chen, stepping on the Five Elements Boots, transformed into an invisible ripple, continually moving through space.

He was traversing not just through mere distance, but through layers of space.

This wasn’t a wormhole, yet it was an ability approaching that of a wormhole.

Every time he penetrated space, Li Chen could directly cross unimaginable distances.

Yet even at such speed, under the vast and limitless cosmic starry sky, it seemed never-ending; no matter how fast, the end was not in sight.

"The universe is indeed vast," the Five Elements Boots agreed, "Since my creation, I have traversed through many eras of this One Era and had many masters, but even combining all those years of experience, I have never traveled across every corner of the universe, and I’ve never seen the edge of the universe either."

"Even you haven’t seen the edge of the universe?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"Indeed not," the Five Elements Boots admitted honestly. "Since the dawn of eras, many have speculated on what the universe truly is. Some believe it’s round, others think it’s square, and some suggest the universe is actually a cyclic space; once you reach the edge, you find yourself back at the starting point, endless."

"Confusion from inside the picture?" Li Chen nodded.

This is much like how a civilization in the Lower Realm, still in its initial stage, wouldn’t know their planet is round. Each had their own guesses, only after reaching a certain height and achievement could one truly see the truth.

However, the truth of the starry universe is much larger than any Planet of Life.

To see clearly the starry universe, the height one must reach is unimaginable.

"The Heaven-Shrouding Realm, the ultimate realm closest to the creator?" A look of longing appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.

He truly wanted to become Heaven-Shrouding Realm, not just because of his responsibilities, but also because he wanted to stand at that peak and see what this universe truly looks like.

There was no other reason, just a primal desire as a living being.

"How long have we been traveling?"

"Almost half a month now."

Li Chen nodded, "Half a month. Regarding the position of the Ancient Battle Realm, I can vaguely sense it, and it’s relatively not far from the Heaven Realm. The time it took for the Message Jade Slip to receive information wasn’t long, which means, I must have missed quite a bit of time, right?"

"Boss, just how uneducated are you?" At this time, the talkative Bagua Array Diagram couldn’t help but comment, "The Message Jade Slip is not something that requires a signal like those low-level civilizations."

"It’s an interlinked seal. When one side sends a message, the other side receives it instantly unless in some closed and secretive space; otherwise, distance is no issue," explained the Bagua Array Diagram.

"Is that so?" Li Chen pondered, and indeed the Bagua Array Diagram was right, this truly was a piece of black technology.

Hence, Li Chen didn’t mind the Array Diagram’s antics of secretly learning random things when he brought people from the Palace of the Nether King into his minor world.

"How far is the Heaven Realm from the Ancient Battle Realm? Does anyone know?" Li Chen asked.

"This I do know a bit," said the Five Elements Boots. "Though the exact distance isn’t certain, the Heaven Realm should be the closest Great Realm to the Ancient Battle Realm. At our current speed, we should reach it in two or three more days."

"Three days," the Three Lives Everything Armor rarely spoke up.

"I once followed a master from the Heaven Realm to the Ancient Battle Realm. At our current speed, three days should bring us outside the Ancient Battle Realm," said the Three Lives Everything Armor.

Along the way, Li Chen chatted with the Supreme Treasures to relieve his boredom.

The journey wasn’t Closed-door Cultivation, especially a lonely voyage like this one which could disquiet any mind.

While talking with the Supreme Treasures and Red Moon about some past events, and the experiences from many years ago, it was quite a way to pass the time.

Except needing to swallow a couple of pills every once in a while to replenish his depletion, everything else was manageable.

The Primordial Heavy Water quietly served as a listener, saying nothing.

She had no choice; though she was the eldest sister, she was probably the most bored and taciturn among them over the years.

From the fall to the Silver Dome Realm, she’s been accompanied only by the Nether River, staying for over a billion years, without much ’experience’ to speak of.

From the Supreme Treasures, Li Chen also learned many things he didn’t know before, as well as the existence of some special life forms and races in the cosmos.

Aside from some rare races, some special life forms in the entire universe numbered only a few, sometimes even unique.

And these unique life forms were often extraordinarily powerful, with many comparable to the Innate Gods and Demons of the Chaotic Era, becoming more terrifying through cultivation after being born incredibly strong.

For instance, the Myriad Gu was such a unique life form.

Along the way, Li Chen encountered many void life forms and occasionally bumped into some special races mentioned by the Supreme Treasures.

However, no matter what, Li Chen never halted his steps.

His most pressing matter now was reaching the Ancient Battle Realm first.

Finally, Li Chen remembered he had a Message Jade Slip in hand and started trying to use it.

Much like a long-isolated mountain forest hermit discovering the internet had reached the mountains...

His acquaintances were all pleasantly surprised when this guy, who never replied to messages, suddenly began contacting them, filling them with uncontainable joy...

Three days later, chatting and joking with the Supreme Treasures while fully engrossed with the Message Jade Slip, Li Chen finally faintly saw a massive expanse of land before him.

This place was known as the Bottom of the Universe... and it was the Ancient Battle Realm!

"Returned again." Once he faintly spotted the ancient gigantic continent, he felt a moment of relief in his heart.

The Heaven Realm, despite its various imperfections, was generally a place where one could safely cultivate without undue worry.

However, in the Ancient Battle Realm, there remained many unfinished tasks, requiring him to return.

"Tell me the location of the Heaven Realm’s base," Li Chen messaged into the Message Jade Slip.

Soon enough, a cosmic coordinate fell into Li Chen’s hand.

With a flash of aurora, Li Chen vanished from sight, departing in an instant.
