My gorgeous wife Chapter 2296 - 2264: Singing to the Wine

Qingshan City.

This is a famous commercial city of the Qiuchen Empire, and since Qiuchen Empire is the most renowned commercial nation in the Desolate Land, a commercial city with such notoriety in this kind of country needs no further elaboration on its prosperity.

And the headquarters of the Qingyao Chamber of Commerce is located in this city.

At this moment, Li Chen has arrived at the Qingyao Chamber of Commerce as a guest.

"It seems consistent with the information from Gale Fort. Decades ago, there were indeed anomalies in the East, but Qingyao Chamber of Commerce’s details are much more comprehensive. According to Qingyao Chamber’s records, it should be in Yudi or the Heavenly Domain."

The Eight Directions Star has eight regions, with Heaven and Earth Mystery Yellow as four domains, and Cosmic Primordial Chaos as four lands.

"Moreover, over a hundred years ago, there also seemed to be anomalies occurring?"

Li Chen stroked his chin, showing a pondering expression.

Based on the time calculation, it was approximately when Li Changcun arrived at the Eight Directions.

Hence, Li Chen highly suspects that these two disturbances were caused by the old man.

"Moreover, as a Planet of Life, the gravity of this One Realm is somewhat exaggerated, almost comparable to that of a typical White Dwarf Star." Li Chen silently calculated in his heart.

A White Dwarf Star, as a star, has extremely high density, and thus the gravity is extremely terrifying. Ordinary creatures falling on it would almost be instantly crushed into meat paste by the horrific gravity. Although the Eight Directions hasn’t reached the terror of some dense White Dwarf Stars, it’s not far off.

Yet such a planet is unexpectedly a Planet of Life, which is something quite unbelievable.

However, it is clear that such a planet could never host creatures with excessively large bodies.

Like the Black Demon Beast Emperor of the Silver Dome Realm and some massive creatures thousands of feet in size, they could not survive on such a planet.

Even the native creatures of the Silver Dome Realm may be large, but their height would absolutely not be too excessive.

This has nothing to do with Innate Talent and Power; it is a law of physics.

Although the beings of the Eight Directions are inherently powerful, they also have many limitations. For instance, the Qing that Li Chen previously encountered, who clearly had Domain Realm combat power, couldn’t even perform Air Control that someone from the Heaven Following Realm of the Heaven Realm could do.

They couldn’t fly; the gravity was too great.

Putting the book aside, Li Chen lay on the rooftop, unable to keep a bitter smile off his face: "After wandering the starry sky for so many years, I feel like I’m almost becoming a cosmic geologist."

At this point, Li Chen suddenly remembered that, in the eyes of some, he might also be considered an Old Demon.

"Brother Li."

At this time, a voice came from not far away.

Li Chen didn’t need to turn his head; just from the voice, he knew it was the Qing he met during the day coming over.

"Brother Li, why are you here on the rooftop alone?" Qing landed beside Li Chen and smiled at him.

"Enjoying the scenery," Li Chen replied casually.

Qing glanced at the book Li Chen threw aside and smiled without saying anything: "Since Brother Li is in such a relaxed mood, you wouldn’t mind another person joining to admire the view, would you?"

Li Chen shrugged, resting his head on his hands: "Suit yourself."

Qing sat down beside Li Chen slowly. For some unknown reason, he always felt that this young man seemed to have a unique quality.

He couldn’t quite describe it, but it was a feeling he had never experienced before.

Even after traveling for almost ten years, passing through one domain and two lands, he hadn’t met anyone who gave him the feeling Li Chen did.

Sitting beside Li Chen, Qing hesitated, considering how to start a conversation, but Li Chen spoke first: "Do you have wine?"

"Wine?" Qing was taken aback and quickly took out a wine gourd.

Li Chen didn’t stand on ceremony, grabbed the wine gourd, and took a swig.

There were too many vexing things, so he decided to momentarily discard all these disorganized matters.

"I didn’t expect Brother Li to also be a lover of wine." Seeing Li Chen’s bold drinking, Qing couldn’t help but laugh. For some reason, at this moment, Li Chen seemed to him to have a bit more ’human’ feel.

Previously, even though they were close, Qing felt that this mysterious hero youth seemed as distant as the sky, but at this moment, he seemed to have returned to the human world.

"Wine is a good thing," Li Chen said leisurely.

"Singing to the wine, how long does life last? It is like morning dew, as the days gone by are many and bitter. Stir emotions generously, unforgettable worry, what can relieve worries? Only Du Kang." Gazing at the pure starry sky above the Eight Directions, Li Chen took several gulps of wine before lazily murmuring.

Saying this, Li Chen looked at Qing, who wore a thoughtful expression, and smiled: "This Du Kang refers to wine."

After a long silence, Qing finally teased: "Brother Li, this could only be said by a drunkard who is intoxicated with this ’Du Kang’, right?"

"Because someone once said, only by being thoroughly intoxicated can a thousand sorrows be dissolved." Li Chen laughed heartily.

Qing took back the wine gourd, took a swig himself, and helplessly said: "But after the wine’s effects wear off, don’t we still have to face all the worries before the drunk state?"

"That’s true," Li Chen nodded, then shook his head: "Forget it, I won’t discuss these philosophical questions with you."

"What do you want to talk about then, Brother Li?" Qing smiled.

Li Chen lightly tapped the tiles of the rooftop with two fingers and then asked: "How old are you this year?"

Qing was startled, finding Li Chen’s jumpy thought process a bit hard to follow, but after thinking it over, he replied: "I am thirty-five this year."

"Thirty-five, hmm, very good," Li Chen smiled and sat up.

Before Qing could understand what Li Chen meant, Li Chen touched Qing’s forehead with a finger.

The next moment, Qing went limp and collapsed on the rooftop, as if falling asleep after getting drunk.

"Thirty-five, cultivating Domain Realm combat power in such a place is indeed a rare talent. And he has a good eye. Meeting is fate, so let me conveniently grant you a chance of fortune." Li Chen said softly, as pieces of enlightenment flowed through Li Chen’s fingertips into Qing’s yet-to-be-formed Consciousness Space.

This was not an Inheritance, but a transmission of Dao, and if Qing could integrate these insights into his own being, he would surely achieve great success in the future.

According to Li Chen’s estimate, to break free from the restrictions of this Eight Directions Star and enter the starry sky, the minimum is Soul Realm cultivation.

And in this place, reaching Soul Realm by oneself without any Cultivation Methods is nearly impossible.

But with these pieces of enlightenment and methods given by Li Chen, what was impossible becomes possible.

"As for the future, it depends on your own fortune."

Li Chen picked up the wine gourd and downed it: "Consider this payment for the wine."

With a hearty laugh, Li Chen took a step and appeared in the courtyard, gently patting the Earth Devouring Beast, Little Feng, beneath him, and said softly: "Let’s go."

"Yes, Master."

Little Feng responded and then started trotting, disappearing like a gust of wind from the Qingyao Chamber without alarming anyone.

The next day, Qing, who suddenly awakened from the eaves, bounced up, feeling a splitting headache, with many things in his mind he had never seen before.

After a long time, when he finally processed all this information, he looked a little dazedly at the empty wine gourd left by Li Chen.

Qing knew that after traveling for ten years, he hadn’t encountered any fortuitous events, but upon returning to the Qingyao Chamber, he met an unparalleled opportunity that he might not encounter again in his lifetime.

Facing the direction of the main door, Qing knelt and heavily kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Senior, for your guidance. Qing will never forget Senior’s graciousness of re-creation in his lifetime!"
