Li Chen narrowly escapes a tense encounter, forgetting the artifact spirit Lieu Zhanxiao, who is then poked by a young girl. Li Chen and his son, Netherworld, stroll through a city in the Borderland Realm. Li Chen reveals his plans to settle down, set up a teleportation array, and finally marry the mothers of his children, which Netherworld supports. As they head to a shop, a fortune teller appears, sensing it's time for a meeting.

The Borderland City’s giant metropolis built with Daiyu Heavenly Venerable’s palace as its center.

After years of prosperity and development, the Borderland City is often no different from the Starland of Heavenly Might.

In the city, it’s bustling with traffic and people despite having many powerful warriors, there are also martial artists with low cultivation and children.

Of course, these are the descendants and relatives of the warriors settled in the Borderland City.

The Borderland City treats these warriors’ relatives very well. If a warrior falls in battle, their relatives have the choice to either stay or return to their hometown.

Additionally, the fallen warriors’ relatives are given maximum preferential treatment and survival conditions, unlike some low-rank martial artists in the Heaven Realm who fight to the death for scarce cultivation resources.

Of course, the amount of resources given later depends on your contribution and talent.

In the Borderland City, besides making military contributions, one can freely venture into the starry sky to hunt powerful exotic treasures and beasts for free trade.

Overall, it’s quite an open territory.

Sitting in a restaurant, Li Chen and a few others are enjoying a delicious meal made from a certain exotic beast in the starry sky.

This is a private room, and the restaurant is quite considerate, setting up small soundproof barriers for each such room to ensure the guests’ absolute privacy.

"Wangyang, I heard you made quite a haul in the Ancient Battle Realm this time?" Li Chen said with a smile while enjoying the meal and sipping a few cups, looking at Ning Wangyang.

"Just luck." Across from Li Chen sat a slightly stern youth, who smiled upon hearing Li Chen’s words: "For some unknown reason, the Four Emperors Territory suddenly stopped the trial, revealing many inheritances and treasures. I happened to be in that area and fortunately acquired an unknown inheritance."

"An inheritance? That’s a good thing." Li Chen nodded: "A cultivation technique or a divine skill?"

"Both." Ning Wangyang said with a smile after downing a drink.

"Really taking off this time, Uncle Ning." Next to them, the Netherworld also laughed.

"Having both cultivation technique and divine skills, Wangyang, it seems you’ve truly acquired a remarkable inheritance this time." Li Chen nodded in agreement.

The inheritance of cultivation techniques is the most common, anyone with a bit of ability can leave such an inheritance.

As for the inheritance of divine skills, they are more challenging because most divine skills are exclusive and can’t be passed on. Those who can create inherited divine skills are always strong figures.

For example, the Order of the God inheritance divine skill in the Divine Realm, or the Locking Heaven and Earth and Endless Sea of Blood acquired by Li Chen, are all considered inheritance divine skills.

Thus, the fact that Ning Wangyang obtained an inheritance containing both cultivation techniques and divine skills indeed shows its excellence.

However, no matter how powerful, it’s from a close brother, and in his heart, Li Chen sincerely felt happy for Ning Wangyang.

Currently, he is on a path of creating his own divine skills and merging laws, so ordinary divine skills are not that helpful for him.

Even if they were beneficial, Li Chen wouldn’t be interested in Ning Wangyang’s.

"By the way, you gave me good news, but I can only give you mixed news." Li Chen said to Ning Wangyang with a peculiar expression.

"What news?" Ning Wangyang asked.

"Catherine has arrived in the Heaven Realm." Li Chen watched Ning Wangyang with a playful look: "She’s over in the Starland of Heavenly Might. I even asked if she’d visit the Borderland City to see you, but she said she’s too busy, no time."

Hearing this, the calm and faintly smiling face of Ning Wangyang suddenly stiffened.

"So, have you figured out how to apologize?" Li Chen said teasingly to Ning Wangyang: "I bet Catherine has already prepared a washboard with spikes."

Ning Wangyang’s expression turned bitter: "Boss, you know my situation, you have to help me put in a good word!"

"Speak your own nonsense!" Li Chen rolled his eyes: "When I was dragged to the hall last time, why didn’t you come out and put in a good word for me?"

Ning Wangyang let out a couple of embarrassed chuckles, an interesting expression appearing on his face.

At this moment, Li Chen’s message jade slip lit up.

Having finally learned to keep the message jade slip outside, Li Chen has gotten used to using it recently, no longer disappearing every few days.

Glancing at it, Li Chen’s divine sense swept over it, and a quirky smile appeared on his face.

"Guess who it is?"

The others looked at him with curiosity but couldn’t guess.

"Netherworld, let’s go, we have guests. We should show some respect and greet them personally." Li Chen smiled, pulling his son along as they walked out of the restaurant.

Outside, a middle-aged Daoist with a indifferent expression stood there, appearing somewhat hesitant.

"Oh, you really came." Li Chen cheerfully waved at the Daoist: "What a rare guest."

Approaching, Li Chen put an arm around the Daoist’s shoulder and led him back into the restaurant.

This scene left the fortune teller, who was hesitating whether to enter at that moment, stunned.

To be honest, when he first saw Li Chen come out, he thought he was there to greet him.

He was sure Li Chen had definitely seen him.

Yet this brat completely ignored him?!

This fortune teller, who claims to know everything under the sun, nearly blew a fuse from anger.

Inside the shop, Li Chen dragged the middle-aged Daoist along. The middle-aged Daoist shrugged his shoulder, trying to break free, but clearly, he didn’t succeed.

It was only after he dragged the middle-aged Daoist into the private room that Li Chen introduced the two guys who were slyly having a feast in his absence: "Let me introduce you all, this is the Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor, a renowned Daoist lord from the ancient times! He once caused the starry sky to flow with blood, invulnerable and unmatched in his realm, a true powerhouse!"

Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor: "..."

Never seen someone insult others so blatantly.

Unmatched in the same realm? In front of you, isn’t it just comparing cabbage to baby cabbage?

The corners of Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor’s mouth twitched.

"Hello, hello!" Ning Wangyang didn’t react much, but Bai Shi stood up warmly and shook hands with the Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor.

What made the corners of Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor’s mouth twitch was that he clearly saw this guy, taking advantage of the handshake, shamelessly wiped some oil stains on his sleeve.

"Senior Spiritual Treasure joining our Heaven Realm truly adds yet another strong ally to our ranks." Li Chen toasted to the Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor.

"You’re too kind." Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor glanced at Li Chen but couldn’t help but grit his teeth slightly.

Isn’t this because you forced me?

Although during the Four Realms conference, he indeed got into an argument with the Immortal Domain people before Li Chen appeared.

Even if it turned into an argument, at most, it was just a personal grudge.

But when Li Chen slaughtered over a hundred experts, the rest had to willingly pay for their lives to leave, yet he spared the Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor, raising suspicion.

Someone even pointed out that Li Chen and the Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor were originally old acquaintances, and perhaps this incident was orchestrated by the two of them.

As a result, life didn’t go well for Spiritual Treasure on the Immortal Domain side.

Not to mention returning to the Immortal Domain, just the old folks in the Starry Sky Immortal City didn’t give him a friendly face anymore.

In anger, Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor left the Starry Sky Immortal City and ran to the Heaven Realm’s Borderland Realm.

As such a senior and powerful Ninth Order expert, the Heaven Realm was, of course, happy to accept him.

However, Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor was quite reclusive, and also had no acquaintances in the Heaven Realm; most of his acquaintances were old predecessors.

And it’s apparent that after the ancient war, many old folks went into hiding. Although Li Chen had some petty grievances with this old man, after all, he was saved by him once in the past, so he brought him over to reconnect.

Before they could exchange a few words, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Did you invite someone else?" Li Chen curiously looked at You Ming and the others.

"No, we didn’t." You Ming and the others exchanged glances, their expressions a bit strange.

"Could it be someone knocked on the wrong door?" Li Chen walked over and opened the door of the private room.

He saw a fortune teller at the door who looked nothing more than a Jianghu charlatan.

"Oh, a fortune teller?" Seeing this fortune teller, Li Chen was first surprised and then subconsciously tensed up.

He had indeed crossed paths with this guy before.

Moreover, the place they met was far from being some feng shui treasure.

The God Subduing Swamp! It was an absolute land!

At the time, he wasn’t certain, but now, Li Chen almost confirmed that this scruffy fortune teller’s cultivation definitely surpassed the Soul Realm.

At least a True Realm level old undying, and possibly a Palm Realm old monster.

But why would such an old monster appear at the Borderland Realm?

Could he be an old monster from the Heaven Realm? But didn’t they say that many parts of the Starry Universe were being watched by Era-Ancient Civilizations? How did this old man slip in?

Originally, Suan Tian intended to put on a guru’s air, to give this oblivious brat, who claimed to be the strongest in the starry sky, a lesson. But upon hearing the term ’fortune teller’, his expression froze.

Damn it, I forgot, I am indeed a fortune teller.

Though his realm is high, his combat power is totally in the weakling category; this kid can take down a True Realm, really, maybe this old man is no match for this kid!

"Cough, cough!" Suan Tian Daoist cleared his throat, intending to reintroduce himself in a different manner, but then another voice came from inside, neither yin nor yang.

"Fortune-telling old bastard?"

Suan Tian Daoist’s guru demeanor shattered again, instantly looking furious.

Fortune teller is one thing, but what’s with the term old bastard?!

Are current youngsters so rude?

However, when he saw the Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor sitting inside, his expression changed several times, finally sighing and giving up on putting airs.

"May I come in for a chat?"
