My gorgeous wife Chapter 2281 - 2249: Nine Deaths One Life

The final half-step, to assist you?

As Li Chen’s voice fell, the surroundings fell silent.

The Palm Realm is unlike any other realm, and everyone present understood how difficult the breakthrough was.

If it weren’t, even the Spiritual Treasure would not have been stuck at the threshold of the Palm Realm for countless years without entering.

Similarly, exceptionally talented individuals like Ning Wangyang and Netherworld have been struggling in this realm, unable to break through.

Even more so, the Heavenly Venerable Azure Dragon, Zhang Shutong, and Demon Emperor Sargeras, no matter their outstanding talents, were ultimately blocked at this threshold.

"Of course, this is also because Netherworld’s path is somewhat similar to mine, so I can assist him. As for others, I am powerless," Li Chen shrugged and said at this moment.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief; if the Palm Realm could indeed be artificially achieved, what great fortune would that be for the Starry Universe?

"Do you have something on your mind?" At this moment, Lin Yi keenly sensed an implication in Li Chen’s words and frowned.

"For the past few years, I’ve been comprehending the Law of Cause and Effect," Li Chen said, speaking to himself instead of answering Lin Yi.

"The Law of Cause and Effect? Uncle Suan Tian?" Li Yilin couldn’t help but ask.

"It has nothing to do with Suan Tian, but my comprehension of the Law of Cause and Effect is with the intention of seeking your grandfather," Li Chen’s gaze fell gently on Li Yilin, "Your grandfather has been missing for so many years, you haven’t seen him since you were born, right?"

The juniors, including the children of Li Changkong and Li Bihai, couldn’t help but nod repeatedly. Indeed, they had only heard that their grandfather was an extraordinary hero, but since birth, they had not seen their grandfather, a regret buried in their hearts.

"Little Chen, have you found any clues about the Eldest Young Master?" Bai Haoyue couldn’t help but speak, although he had been here for many years, he still couldn’t change his previous manner of address.

Li Chen nodded lightly, "The Law of Cause and Effect can trace the marks he left behind and has a certain calculating ability."

"Have you calculated the outcome of this trip?" At this moment, Spiritual Treasure, who had remained a bystander, suddenly asked.

The fact that Li Chen had called him over and was having an open-hearted conversation with his family made him vaguely sense something.

Li Chen lifted his gaze, looking at Spiritual Treasure with a complex expression. Indeed, the old fellow’s mind was more meticulous than the ’young people’ present.

"My understanding of the Law of Cause and Effect is not yet perfect, but after some rough calculations, the result is... Nine Deaths One Life."

Nine Deaths One Life!

With these words, the place became so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

Nine Deaths One Life, perhaps something frequently heard by Low-Rank cultivators, as many perilous situations leave those not sufficiently cultivated struggling to survive unless exceptionally lucky.

But if even for a powerhouse like Li Chen, it’s Nine Deaths One Life.

Then it becomes unimaginable for everyone present just how terrifying and dangerous this crisis really is.

"Uncle Suan Tian has said before, Suan Tian calculates heaven, earth, and man, but cannot calculate oneself. Dad, maybe you made a mistake," Li Haoheng couldn’t help but interject, his voice trembling.

From birth, he had lived without worries, his father being one of the Supreme Powerhouses of the Starry Universe, no one dared bully him.

Even when accompanying his brother Li Youming on adventures in the Starry Sky, encountering insurmountable crises, his brother or other elders would step in.

Being someone who never knew worry, hearing his father utter ’Nine Deaths One Life’ made him somewhat anxious.

At this moment, Li Haoheng felt warmth in his palm, and turning around, he saw it was his mother who had at some point reached out and held his hand.

"Are you still determined to go?" Lin Yi asked.

Li Chen’s expression appeared a bit hesitant, but ultimately he nodded, "Go!"

Lin Yi nodded, not asking Li Chen for reasons, merely exchanging a glance with the other women present.

"So, you’re asking me to take care of things here?" Spiritual Treasure spoke slowly.

"That’s indeed my intention, I wonder if you, Brother Spiritual Treasure..." Li Chen inquired.

Spiritual Treasure waved his hand, "Haven’t I been overseeing the Borderland Realm while you’ve been away? If a truly formidable enemy comes, do you think your alter ego can stop it?"

"Then thank you, Brother Spiritual Treasure," Li Chen nodded.

"Thank you, Master!" At this moment, Li Haoheng and Li Yilin also stood up, deeply bowing to Spiritual Treasure.

The two siblings had long since apprenticed under Spiritual Treasure.

It was precisely because they had such a master in the Palm Realm that the two siblings could boldly unleash their talents, progressing rapidly on the path of cultivation.

The siblings were no longer children; they understood that in some matters, their decisions could not change anything. Since even their mother quietly agreed, they couldn’t say much more.

Looking at Lin Yi and the other women, Li Chen smiled, "I know you’re not willing for me to continually put myself in danger. But as I’ve said, there are things I simply must do."

Yang Xin nodded, "We understand, we can’t change your mind, but as we agreed before, whenever something like this occurs, you must tell us. Now that you’ve done so, although we worry, we’re happy as well. Because at least we won’t have to be like before, watching you vanish suddenly, not knowing if you’ll return."

Li Chen, upon hearing this, was silent, his heart full of guilt.

At this moment, Bai Haoyue spoke, "Since you’ve decided, then go boldly."

"Speaking of which, the Eldest Young Master has been missing for so many years without any news, we are indeed worried too. Even if you weren’t going, we old folks were planning to search for the Eldest Young Master’s whereabouts sooner or later."

The elders nodded in agreement.

Li Chen laughed, understanding that the elders were comforting him.

"Since it’s decided, we must act swiftly," Li Chen nodded, looking at Netherworld, "Let’s go, this time father will assist you. After achieving the Palm Realm, ensure you protect everyone well!"

Netherworld nodded resolutely; he would do that without Li Chen telling him.

As they returned outside the Red Dust Heavenly Palace, Li Chen silently gazed into the depths of the limitless sky.

He mentioned his calculation result but didn’t reveal how Li Changcun fared in the causal calculation.

The result was a single word.

It was a massive, black word formed by threads of the Law of Cause and Effect... Death!

Silently clenching his fist, Li Chen muttered in his heart, "Old man, don’t die! You haven’t met your grandson and granddaughter yet!"
