Heavenly Venerable Qinglong enters closed-door cultivation to break through to the Soul Realm, while Li Chen's children are born. During the full moon celebration, a Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerate challenges Li Chen, but his son Youming steps in and easily defeats the challenger, expelling him from the city.

Until that Ninth Order challenger was thrown out of Tianyu City, many people still hadn’t reacted.

Is it over just like that?

So quickly?

Many people watched as the Netherworld slowly descended from the sky. This guy is supposed to be an Eighth-Rank Heavenly Sovereign? Does your Eighth-Rank Heavenly Sovereign fight a Ninth-Order Venerate like he’s fighting a son?

A group of strong cultivators were all left bewildered by the wind, and if someone said now that Netherworld was actually the Ninth-Order Venerate, and the one thrown out of Tianyu City was the Eighth-Rank, some people might actually believe it.

The main thing is that the battle ended just too quickly, a lot of people hadn’t even reacted yet, and they saw the Ninth Order challenger being tossed out.

Some people also showed shock as they looked toward the Red Dust Heavenly Palace.

Now many people know that Netherworld is the son of Li Chen.

If even his offspring are this strong, how powerful could the Red Dust Heavenly Venerate himself be?

No one knows, nor can they guess, but after hundreds of years, everyone knows that the Red Dust Heavenly Venerate of today cannot possibly be weaker and is even more powerful and unfathomable than back then.

This battle was also Netherworld standing up for Li Chen.

Even though it is the New Era now, if anyone thinks they are exceptionally talented and wants to make a name by challenging Li Chen, they’d first have to ask if their head is hard enough.

Because the guy he tossed out of Tianyu City has already been beaten into a genuine pig head.

And even worse, that guy has been locked in Locking Heaven and Earth. With the power of the Netherworld using Locking Heaven and Earth, although not as terrifying as Li Chen, given that guy’s strength, they’d probably be locked up for several days.

No matter what Divine Skills, the more powerful the user is, the stronger the skills become.

If it were someone in the Domain Realm using a Great Divine Power, Li Chen would probably stand still, and that Great Divine Power wouldn’t even scratch him.

At this point, a young man walked out from the Red Dust Heavenly Palace and looked toward Netherworld: "Senior Brother Netherworld, you go busy yourself. Master already instructed me earlier to handle things here."

Netherworld nodded upon hearing this. He understood Li Chen’s intention; he’s just married recently, and this is letting him spend more time with his wife.

"Greetings to all seniors and friends who have come to Tianyu City. I am Chun Han, and my master is the Red Dust Heavenly Venerate. Master instructed me just now that if any guests come in the future, they can come directly to me. Of course, if it’s a challenge, I can also take it on, just like Master did back in the day, welcoming strong cultivators from all over the Starry Universe to spar and improve each other. If I can’t handle it, there are still my two senior sisters and Senior Brother Netherworld. If you can defeat us, Master will naturally come out." The young man said politely.

"Heavenly Venerate Chun Han is too modest." Someone laughed and responded immediately, "If it’s sparring, then I hope Heavenly Venerate Chun Han won’t hold back at the time."

"That’s right, we’re all cultivators, and only through combat can we improve faster."

The young man speaking was Xiao Chihan.

A couple of years ago, Li Chen finally nodded, permitting him to break through to the Soul Realm.

It’s undeniable that with the help of the Disk of Ages, Xiao Chihan’s cultivation speed is incredibly terrifying. In a short time, he had already reached the Seventh Order Peak.

Moreover, the more terrifying thing is that Li Chen, as someone who’s been through it all, didn’t manage his disciple’s realm at all but rather solidified Xiao Chihan’s foundation to an unbelievably terrifying level.

It’s important to know that before Xiao Chihan’s breakthrough, he had been in the Domain Realm for several hundred years!

Especially since his talent was quite good on its own, and in such a glorious time as Banquet Era, with the Disk of Ages, he could still stay in the Domain Realm for hundreds of years, it shows just how solid his foundation is.

Don’t be fooled by Xiao Chihan’s mere Seventh Rank cultivation now, but even if an Eighth Rank or Ninth Order wanted to go head-to-head with him, they might not necessarily win.

Moreover, after hundreds of years of cultivation, Xiao Chihan did not only solidify his foundation.

Li Chen had his reasons for suppressing Xiao Chihan like this. If his foundation wasn’t stable enough without these hundreds of years of accumulation, even if he entered the Soul Realm, he might not be able to wield the Killing Weapon Li Chen gifted him.

The Seven Slaying Sword!

At this point, Li Chen truly let go of Xiao Chihan.

With Xiao Chihan wielding the Seven Slaying Sword, unless he met a freak of an opponent of the Ninth Order or the True Realm who also wielded such a Killing Weapon, even if he couldn’t fight them, he’d have no problem escaping.

"Xinxia."

Chu Xinxia heard Li Chen’s call and couldn’t help but ask, "Teacher, anything you need?"

Li Chen nodded, "Although your talent is good, I see most of it comes from leveraging the current era. Your foundation is somewhat floating. In this aspect, you need to communicate more with your junior brother."

"Yes, Master." Chu Xinxia earnestly nodded.

At this moment, Li Chen happened to catch a glimpse of Lin Xiaoxiao, An Qin, and Yang Xin approaching from another direction, and he quickly took off.

Soon, Li Chen was sitting on the mountainside with two children in his arms, smiling broadly, "You think you can take my son and daughter from me? Overreaching."

"Oh, really?" A cold laugh came from behind Li Chen.

Li Chen turned back, his whole body shivered, then he showed a smile.

"My dear wife, weren’t you busy? How do you have the leisure to come for a walk on the mountainside?"

Lin Yi sneered, "Yes, we’re all busy, much unlike the esteemed Red Dust Heavenly Venerate who sneaks away with the children."

Beside Lin Yi was a girl who looked like a young maiden, and Li Chen winked at the girl, sending a sound transmission, "Lilith, you’re untrustworthy."

Lilith gave Li Chen a mischievous smile, "Sorry, Big Brother Li Chen, I let it slip."

Li Chen felt like crying but had no choice but to hand over the children and got caught by Lin Yi for a family criticism meeting.

...

Battling the world, once again battling the world.

Hundreds of years ago, near the end of the Flourishing Era, the Red Dust Heavenly Venerate battled the world for three years.

And now, it’s another battle against the world, except this time it’s the next generation of the Red Dust Heavenly Venerate.

Even though it’s the next generation, they are terrifying to a certain extent.

After all, that Nether Heavenly Venerate once took on a Ninth Order expert and gave him a thorough beating. Anyone wanting to challenge needs to weigh themselves first.

In the same way, if a senior cultivator of high status comes, it’s embarrassing to do so boldly.

It was whatever when Li Chen was called the first in the Starry Sky before, but what are these old souls thinking now?

Sometimes, one has to put on a façade.

Therefore, challengers being limited to the ’younger’ generation became an unwritten rule.

Li Chen did not speak about this, but he was highly supportive. Those little ones indeed needed to be honed. Otherwise, what’s the use of having cultivation if they don’t know how to fight?

Even for himself, Li Chen felt it necessary to go through some grind. But unfortunately, apart from Suan Tian occasionally urging him to break through quickly, Li Chen found that in this Starry Universe lacking in Palm Realm, he truly couldn’t find any worthy opponents anymore.

In the Red Dust Heavenly Palace, Li Chen spun the Minor Heavenly Pattern Talisman in his fingers several times before finally putting it away.
