My gorgeous wife Chapter 2299 - 2267: Dormant Burial Mounds

The myriad forms of the human condition.

Since stepping into the Domain Spirit Realm and progressing to even higher realms, Li Chen rarely observed these things anymore.

But it wasn’t until his Sea of Laws was complete that Li Chen realized that, in fact, these things were indispensable to him.

After all, a complete universe must have a multitude of living beings, and where there are living beings, the myriad forms of the human condition are inevitable.

Every different creature is playing its own role in the place it inhabits.

Such a role, though not absolutely essential, is nonetheless irreplaceable.

And when a being discovers that it no longer has a role in the world around it, only two choices remain.

One is death.

The other is to leave the space that confines its role.

Duan Yu, without a doubt, is such an existence.

Because of his strength, the Eight Directions could no longer assign him an appropriate role.

Whether as an ordinary hero, or a ruler, a mortal, he was no longer suitable.

Even if he became the ruler of the entire Eight Directions, what meaning does it have for a giant to rule over a colony of ants?

Therefore, Li Chen sent Duan Yu away, giving him a vaster space.

Duan Yu did not cultivate with weapons, so Li Chen gave him a Chapter of his own insights into laws and Body Refining Techniques, and as for what kind of brilliance he might shine with in the starry universe in the future, it will depend on Duan Yu’s own destiny.

Li Chen did not point out the path to the Four Great Realms for Duan Yu.

Because if fate allows, Duan Yu will eventually arrive there.

Moreover, the current Duan Yu is like a blank sheet of paper, washed anew by overwhelming power, and Li Chen does not wish to stain this paper with more blemishes. Thus, instead of that, it would be better to let Duan Yu continue cultivating like a blank paper.

The more markings on the paper, the harder it is to remain undistracted.

Reaching the realm Li Chen is in today, his perspectives have long differed completely from those of others.

"Dormant Burial Mounds."

After putting away the map, Li Chen lay half-reclined on Little Feng’s back.

After sending off Duan Yu, Li Chen traveled the world under the guise of a ’hero’, undertaking various minor tasks of justice, such as eliminating monsters and suppressing demons, and used these acts of fame to gather some information.

One such target he selected was the Dormant Burial Mounds.

It is said that over a hundred years ago, the so-called celestial phenomenon appeared above the Dormant Burial Mounds.

The Dormant Burial Mounds is a land of death in Yudi, perpetually filled with lethal toxins and various kinds of poisons.

More astonishingly, within this absolute land, there are still quite a few powerful demon creatures.

Some powerful beings who once committed evil deeds fled to the Dormant Burial Mounds under the pursuit of heroes. Among these, some creatures succumbed to the toxins and were devoured by creatures within the mounds.

Others, however, adapted to the environment of the Dormant Burial Mounds and grew even stronger.

A case like this happened once.

A demon creature pursued by heroes fled into the Dormant Burial Mounds. After lying dormant for more than a decade, it re-emerged.

And when this demon creature re-emerged, it was much stronger than it had been over ten years prior, now also imbued with potent poison. Upon resurfacing, it ravaged a city and numerous surrounding villages and towns. It required a coalition of a large army and heroes to ultimately slay this demon, which came at a great cost to the heroes and army.

In earlier times, this place was a burial ground, where numerous powerful beings and heroes were laid to rest. After countless years of transformation, it became this perilous locale.

"Is it really here?"

Sitting on Little Feng’s back, Li Chen stood outside a mountain forest, silently observing the scene before him.

Even the trees near the outskirts emitted a pungent odor.

Within this scent, there lay traces of toxins.

Moreover, shadowy figures could be seen within the woods; these were people seeking fortune around the Dormant Burial Mounds.

The Dormant Burial Mounds is not just a dead land; it’s also a treasure-laden place of exploration. These silhouettes wandering in the woods are undoubtedly opportunists hoping to find graves of strong beings or remains of demon creatures outside the mounds.

Such toxins can still be endured by the beings of the Eight Directions, but on some other planets, these toxins would be lethal.

The resistance of Heavenly Lifeforms is clearly not on the same level as lower-level life forms.

Yet even the naturally heavenly-physiqued beings of the Eight Directions cannot dwell long in this woodland, illustrating the dreadfulness of this place.

"Master, are we really going in?" Little Feng asked, somewhat puzzled, "My parents also said this is a very dangerous place, even for us Earth Devouring Beasts, there might be crises."

"That was the old you." Li Chen chuckled, patting Little Feng on the head, "Try expanding your domain."

"Oh." Following the method taught by Li Chen, Little Feng, somewhat dazed, began to attempt to open his domain.

In an instant, the toxins vanished into thin air upon Little Feng expanding his domain.

Purification is the simplest and most common ability of a domain.

A domain turns the surrounding space into a space under one’s control, and within this personal space, the wielder is virtually an absolute dominator.

These toxins capable of threatening regular heavenly beings are no threat whatsoever to a Domain Realm.

"Let’s go." Noting Little Feng’s expression of bewilderment and delight, Li Chen smiled and signaled him to proceed.

As they traversed the woodland, numerous individuals cast wary eyes on Li Chen.

Amid those present were not only ordinary treasure seekers from the Eight Directions but also a few heroes.

Upon seeing a figure as extraordinary as Li Chen riding an Exotic Beast, they instinctively regarded Li Chen as a formidable competitor.

After all, treasure hunting outside the Dormant Burial Mounds has always been a case of too many monks and too little porridge.

But when they saw Li Chen completely ignoring everything around him and heading straight for the depths of the Dormant Burial Mounds, they couldn’t help showing looks of astonishment.

"Esteemed hero, ahead is the true Dormant Burial Mounds." A kind-hearted treasure hunter couldn’t help but remind Li Chen as he passed by.

"I know." Li Chen smiled lightly, nodding.

"There’s great danger inside." Seeing that Li Chen wasn’t deterred, this kind-hearted treasure hunter added.

"I know too." Li Chen chuckled, "I just want to see how dangerous it really is."

The one who spoke couldn’t help but be left speechless by Li Chen’s words.
