My gorgeous wife Chapter 2347 - 2315: Leaving Alone

Looking at the boy respectfully kneeling on the ground, Li Chen’s gaze seemed a bit dazed.

Chen Qi.

The descendant of Chen Shouchuan and Yin Shuishui from a small tribe on the prairie back then.

Though eighty million years have passed, Li Chen still remembers that it was a little girl who took him in back then.

However, after Li Chen awoke, he didn’t have much time to pay attention to the outside world, completely throwing himself into the struggle against the Black Qi.

It’s not that Li Chen didn’t care about his body, but he understood very well that even if he didn’t have the control over his body, the Black Qi would proactively protect his body. If anyone attacked his physical body, the Black Qi would definitely counterattack.

Moreover... it would be a destructive counterattack!

Li Chen could imagine such a situation but could not control it.

Over the years, he hasn’t had time to think about anything else and poured all his effort into fighting for the control of his sea of consciousness.

As long as he conquered his sea of consciousness, no matter how powerful the Black Qi was, it couldn’t kill him.

Li Chen well knew that when he was fighting for control of the sea of consciousness, the Black Qi, which originally didn’t seem to have any hostility towards him and merely pressed him into a corner, developed a desire to kill.

It wanted to kill him!

And he, he couldn’t die.

Thus began a relentless death struggle that lasted for eighty million years.

"Crack, crack~"

Li Chen lifted his hand, but his arm emitted an unpleasant sound akin to the friction of old machinery.

In some sense, Li Chen’s Indestructible Body no longer existed at all.

When the Black Qi took over his body, Li Chen’s Indestructible Body was thoroughly ’cleansed’ away, though it was unclear why the Black Qi could even cleanse his Physical Refinement Cultivation.

However, Li Chen now seemed to be beyond being surprised by anything.

Over these eighty million years, Li Chen had gone completely mad time and time again, and time and again regained consciousness. Unbeknownst to him, certain aspects of his Divine Soul had quietly changed.

"An... Immortal?!"

Chen Qi looked shocked at the young man standing in front of him, his face filled with an expression of disbelief.

As one of the few core bloodlines of the Chen Family in the Black and White Empire, no one knew the true rise of the Black and White Empire better than he did.

It was said that in the past, the Black and White Empire was just a small tribe on the prairie, and during one of the mother-ancestor’s shepherding trips, she found a sleeping Immortal.

Afterward, the little tribe on the prairie suddenly soared to prominence.

For countless years, the Royal Family of the Black and White Empire had secretly worshipped at this Sacred Ancestral Shrine, placing the Immortal in its deepest part to receive the generations of homage from the empire’s Royal Family.

Before departing the continent, the ancients had left words that perhaps, one day, the Immortal would awaken.

Chen Qi never thought it would be he who would witness the awakening of the Immortal!

Eighty million years; that’s eighty million years!

Even the Heaven-level Experts who roamed the skies of the continent couldn’t live this long, could they?

However, it was said that the Immortal was like this even when the mother-ancestor found him back then, and there was secretly a Jade Slip in the royal family recording this.

Yet, after eighty million years had passed, the Immortal seems unchanged?

Could it be that to the Immortal, the lengthy eighty million years were just a sleep?

Chen Qi carefully observed the Immortal but dared not speak again, for he saw the Immortal seemed to be contemplating something.

Upon closer observation, Chen Qi faintly noticed some discrepancies.

For instance, in the Jade Slip he had seen before, the Immortal’s clothes were half black and half white, and even his long hair was half black and half white, which was the origin of the Black and White Empire.

Yet now, the Immortal’s robe remained half black and half white, but his hair had become entirely white...

"Descendants of the Chen Family?"

Li Chen’s gaze swept over, transmitting with Divine Soul Transmission.

After not speaking for eighty million years, he had almost forgotten how to speak.

"Junior Chen Qi pays respects to the Immortal!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi did not hesitate to bow deeply to Li Chen.

The Immortal remembers their Chen Family!

Although the Immortal seemed never to have awaken, he knows what the Chen Family has done! Thinking of this, Chen Qi couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.

Previously, he had been worried that the Immortal might not know about the Chen Family, but now it seems the Chen Family, the Black and White Empire, have hope for rise!

"Immortal, junior..."

"Enough, no need to say anymore, I know what you’re going to say."

Li Chen shook his head, his lips still unmoving, conveying through Sound Transmission: "The connection between your Chen Family and me is fated, but if you expect to rely on me to rise again, I advise you to abandon this thought."

"I have no time."

Li Chen’s tone was indifferent.

"Immortal..."

"No need to say anymore."

Li Chen waved his hand, not even glancing at the stunned Chen Qi, and left directly.

Chen Qi watched Li Chen’s departing back, daring neither to stop him nor to speak further, only biting his lip tightly, fresh blood constantly dripping from the broken lip.

Is this what it amounts to?

Giving him hope only to plunge him into despair again?

"No! The Chen Family cannot decline like this. Even without the help of the Immortal, I must rise the Chen Family!" Chen Qi’s face was filled with determination.

But by this time, Li Chen had long gone without a trace.

Even though the ancestral shrine of the Chen Family still housed many leftover experts from the Black and White Empire, no one noticed Li Chen’s departure.

When Chen Qi stood up, he suddenly froze.

Because he discovered that in his mind, without knowing when, a Cultivation Technique had appeared.

Mere practice of it once and Chen Qi found that his cultivation had notably improved, revealing a delighted expression.

The strength of this Cultivation Technique surpassed any he had seen or heard of!

"Immortal..."

Watching the direction of Li Chen’s departure, Chen Qi’s face held mixed emotions, then he knelt down once more, deeply bowing.

...

"You’re just leaving like that?"

"What’s the point of staying?" Li Chen frowned.

"If you stayed, you could still exploit these folks for some resources to complete early-stage cultivation, but leaving, what will you do?" the Seven Realms Tome spoke discontentedly.

While Chen Qi couldn’t perceive it, he knew that Li Chen’s Divine Soul is currently at an unprecedentedly strong state, but his physical body, apart from the Black Qi, is devoid of any cultivation.

Without cultivation, although relying solely on his Divine Soul, he could easily wipe out any expert on this continent, yet lacking even a trace of cultivation within, how would he leave?

Unable to even fly, how would he walk out of this continent, or even this universe?

"There will always be a way." Li Chen said with a frown, "I don’t want to have too much entanglement with them."

The Seven Realms Tome fell silent for a while, saying nothing further.

It vaguely guessed the reason Li Chen was unwilling to have too much contact with the Chen Family.
