My gorgeous wife Chapter 2424 - 2392: Gamble! Challenge!

If, for other Palm Realm powerhouses, Ningdao Stones can be considered more or less optional,

then for Li Chen, the role of Ningdao Stones is anything but ordinary.

Because, just as many people had guessed before, he really is a "junk goods Dao Saint"!

As his surface Cultivation shows, right now he really only has Domain Realm Cultivation. It’s just that, at this moment, almost no one is doubting Li Chen’s Cultivation anymore.

Because this guy is simply too outrageously bold.

Not only did he dare open his mouth to make a wager with Saint Tao Wu, he even dared to mock Solitary Elder Taoist Saint to his face until the old man was about to blow his top. With no real backing, would an ordinary person dare do that?

Even a Madman wouldn’t be mad to this extent, right?

Li Chen certainly isn’t crazy.

In this perilous situation where he could be exposed at any moment, what he possesses is the exact opposite—cold calm.

It’s just that he himself doesn’t know why; ever since waking up in the Jianmu Universe, he’s found that his personality has become more extreme than before.

But he didn’t care. What he cares about most right now is how to recover his Cultivation as quickly as possible.

As for the process of the Soul Realm, Li Chen isn’t worried at all.

Because although his Cultivation disappeared, his Divine Soul has instead grown stronger.

In other words, for the Soul Refinement stage—which is the most troublesome and most Time-consuming part of the Soul Realm—Li Chen can actually skip it. What he needs is just a massive amount of resources to pile up and cover the consumption of his subsequent Cultivation.

As long as the resources are sufficient, Li Chen is confident he can directly charge all the way up to the Peak of the Soul Realm in one breath.

However, after reaching the Peak of the Soul Realm, there’s still one more matter.

And that is... to reforge the Way of the Palm Realm.

To condense the Way of the Palm Realm again means that Li Chen can make another choice, deciding how his future Way of the Palm Realm will go.

A second condensation of the Way of the Palm Realm—this kind of thing has almost never happened.

Because every Palm Realm powerhouse, when advancing, makes the decision for their Way of the Palm Realm only after countless years of careful consideration.

No one would disperse their Cultivation just to reforge the Way of the Palm Realm. Of course, even if some Palm Realm powerhouse were accidentally beaten until seriously injured and lost their Cultivation, reforging the Way of the Palm Realm still wouldn’t be easy.

You could even say that the second condensation of the Way of the Palm Realm will only be harder than the first!

And Li Chen is precisely in this state right now.

At this point, the role of the Ningdao Stones stands out.

This concerns his return to the Palm Realm—Li Chen doesn’t dare be careless in the slightest.

"Resetting the Time isn’t a problem, but you’re not planning to set it for hundreds or thousands of years later to stall for Time, are you? What if you’ve used that thing up by then—where am I supposed to go find more?" Saint Tao Wu said hesitantly.

"Stall for Time?" Li Chen smiled. "I really don’t need to stall anything. Let’s set the Time for one year from now. As for the location, you pick it."

Li Chen’s meaning was clear: I’ll set the Time, you choose the place—I won’t take advantage of you.

A year really doesn’t count as much Time for them; it might pass in the span of a nap. After thinking for a moment, Saint Tao Wu nodded and agreed to Li Chen’s proposal, while Solitary Elder Taoist Saint alone stood there with a cold face, saying nothing.

Seeing Saint Tao Wu nod in agreement, Li Chen also nodded and smiled.

For them, a year really is just the Time for a nap. But for Li Chen, a year is enough to do many things.

For example... breaking through in Cultivation!

Right now, Li Chen appears to be at Heavenly Level Fifth Rank, Second Layer of the Domain Realm.

But in reality, Li Chen knows very clearly that all he has to traverse is the Domain Realm.

Because in the Soul Realm he doesn’t need to actually Cultivate; he just needs to absorb enough Energy and convert it into his own Power, and he can soar straight to the Peak of the Soul Realm in one go!

Can the Soul Realm even be stronger than his current Divine Soul?

"All right! One year from now, we’ll meet at the Jiankong Realm Fallen Dream Battlefield!" After pondering for a while, Saint Tao Wu spoke an address.

"Dreamfall Battlefield?"

At this name, the expressions of quite a few Ancient Ancestors changed slightly. Even the three Dao Saints on Li Chen’s side couldn’t help furrowing their brows.

"Brother Lei, what kind of place is this Dreamfall Battlefield?" Li Chen secretly sent a Sound Transmission to Leiyang Dao Saint.

Leiyang Dao Saint froze for a moment, not expecting Li Chen to suddenly Sound Transmission him, but after thinking, he still answered, "Dreamfall Battlefield is an extremely dangerous place in the Jiankong Realm. That place possesses a powerful natural Mist Restriction—even Palm Realm powerhouses can get lost inside. Only those who have absolute confidence in the will of their own Divine Soul dare to enter Dreamfall Battlefield for tempering."

"Because Dreamfall Battlefield isn’t just a dangerous land; it’s also a Treasure land for Cultivation. As long as one can remain clear-headed in Dreamfall Battlefield and withstand the Mist that can cause one’s Mind Spirit to go astray, one can gain enormous benefits."

"Benefits?" Li Chen asked curiously. "Could there be some fortuitous encounter or something?"

"Even calling it a fortuitous encounter wouldn’t be an exaggeration." Leiyang Dao Saint said solemnly. "Because in the history of the Jiankong Realm, quite a few Dao Saints broke through in Dreamfall Battlefield and achieved the Palm Source Realm. Moreover, it’s said that in Dreamfall Battlefield, there also exists Eternal Sand!"

"Eternal Sand?!" The voice that cried out belonged to the Seven Realms Tome.

"Is this Eternal Sand that powerful?" Li Chen couldn’t help asking.

"If you find this thing, you must obtain it!" The voice of the Seven Realms Tome rarely turned this serious.

"You know that within the Vast Nihility, apart from celestial bodies like Universes, almost nothing else can exist; they’re directly ’negated’ by the Power of Nihility of the Vast Nihility." The Seven Realms Tome explained, "But there are a very few things that can exist within the Vast Nihility purely by virtue of their own special nature. That Black Qi I’d never seen before, but without a doubt it’s one of them. And Eternal Sand is also one of these things!"

The voice of the Seven Realms Tome was stern: "If what he said is true, then no matter what, you must obtain the Eternal Sand! Not for anything else, but because of your Innate Chaotic Body—if it can devour Eternal Sand for tempering, then in the future, there might truly come a day when you can survive in the Vast Nihility purely by your own self without relying on any Universe! You can also imagine: if you really achieve that, how great an advantage will you have when facing enemies in the Vast Nihility?"

"I understand."

Li Chen turned his head and gave Leiyang Dao Saint a smile. "Thanks, Brother Lei."

In the end, both sides finally set the agreement: a year from now, they would have their wager battle in Dreamfall Battlefield!

The victor would obtain the Treasure of the loser. And in choosing Dreamfall Battlefield, Saint Tao Wu had his reasons.

Because Li Chen’s string of actions has been a bit too bizarre. He also felt there was something off about Li Chen’s Cultivation, but he didn’t dare probe rashly. Yet in Dreamfall Battlefield, things are different.

If one is not at the Palm Realm, their true form will quickly be exposed there. No matter how many tricks that white-haired fellow has, as long as he’s not a true Dao Saint, he absolutely won’t be able to hold out for long in Dreamfall Battlefield!

Watching Saint Tao Wu and the others depart, Li Chen inwardly let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Only, in the Time ahead, he has to use this one year to break through to the Palm Realm!
