Poem Shadow pursued Li Chen, only to be outsmarted and mocked by him. Li Chen, despite being in the Soul Realm, wielded a blade with Palm Source Realm cultivation, baffling Poem Shadow. Confronted by Lady Shi Yin, the Guardian of Jianmu Universe, Li Chen feigned ignorance about the Jianmu Incarnation but playfully hinted at his "specialness." Surprisingly, Lady Shi Yin seemed to believe his claims, even considering his handsome appearance as a possible factor. When Lady Shi Yin ordered Li Chen to meet Jian Ancestor, he refused, citing his status as a guest and threatening retaliation from his own universe if he were constrained.

The strength of Li Chen is indeed very formidable, a fact that even the many Dao Saints present had to admit.

Of course, that was when they weren’t aware that Li Chen was only at the Soul Realm.

If they had known, they would probably have been even more astonished.

Yet, when Li Chen clearly expressed his intent to threaten, everyone present still thought he was insane.

Threaten the Jianmu Universe?

Who does he think he is?

One must know, according to the rules of the Jianmu Universe, by the time one reaches the grade of a Dao Saint, battles are seldom occurred. Throughout countless ages, the number of Dao Saints fallen in the Jianmu Universe is remarkably rare, indirectly leading to the accumulation of an immensely terrifying number of Palm Source Realm powerhouses.

In fact, not to mention the Founding Realm, the number of Dao Saints alone in the Jianmu Universe is not much lesser than that of the universally acknowledged top Tree Realm Universe in the Sea of Realms.

And this man dares to open his mouth to threaten such a Great Universe?

Who does he think he is?

"What audacity!" Poem Shadow Dao Saint’s tone turned somewhat hostile: "I think you need to be clear about one thing. Our Jianmu Universe, while unwilling to get involved in messy affairs, is also not afraid of threats!"

Li Chen laughed heartily: "Oh, is it that the way your Jianmu Universe is unafraid of threats is by capturing all guests who come with good intentions?"

"Good intentions? You killed so many of our Jianmu Universe’s junior geniuses on the Nine Heavens Continent, is this what you call good intentions?" Loner Elder Dao Saint sneered as he spoke.

"I understand now." Li Chen nodded: "You wish to kill, and others can only offer their necks, that’s what you call good intentions, right?"

"I couldn’t care less about the matters on the Nine Heavens Continent, but I didn’t expect it to become a handle on me from your mouths." Li Chen disdainfully said: "I wonder if anyone present from Nine Heavens Continent dares to speak about all those disgraceful matters there to your Lady Poem Shadow?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the crowd fell silent again.

"Um... Quandong Daoist friend, aren’t you from the Nine Heavens Continent?" At this moment, a Dao Saint suddenly looked at a nearby companion and spoke up.

The mentioned Quandong Dao Saint’s face changed slightly, originally he had just been watching passively, never expecting the fire to reach him.

At this moment, even though he wished he could stomp on the face of the companion next to him, facing the gaze of Poem Shadow Dao Saint, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and explain the Nine Heavens Continent’s situation.

These matters, as a powerful Dao Saint ascended from the Nine Heavens Continent, his juniors generally report to him. He just didn’t expect the situation to escalate so drastically.

Concealment wasn’t possible, for many are aware of the commotion Li Chen caused on the Nine Heavens Continent. With Poem Shadow Dao Saint’s capabilities, it wouldn’t be difficult to figure out the cause and effect of the matter.

Li Chen indeed did slay quite a few, but the cause was simply those forces on the Nine Heavens Continent uniting to bully him, a lone man.

As a top-tier powerhouse, having only slain those who pursued him and not going to their sects to cause trouble, is already considered very gracious.

After listening to Quandong Dao Saint’s account, a faint smile appeared on Li Chen’s face. He looked towards Loner Elder Dao Saint in the distance: "May I ask, Lone Widower Dao Saint, is this what you meant by good intentions?"

Loner Elder Dao Saint’s face darkened.

Originally, his saint title, implying a lone boat and old man in a bamboo raincoat, was quite meaningful, but with Li Chen’s words, it suddenly took on a different meaning.

Lone Widower Dao Saint?!

Curse you for being a lone widower!

However, in hearing Li Chen’s moniker, indeed, many cast peculiar glances at Loner Elder. It must be said, Loner Elder’s attire did bear resemblance to that of a solitary elderly man...

Nevertheless, Loner Elder clearly wasn’t foolish; having failed to slander, he promptly shut his mouth, offering no more words.

Poem Shadow Dao Saint looked at Li Chen, though her expression remained chilly, her tone involuntarily softened a bit: "In previous matters, they were at fault, and I apologize on their behalf. However, you must still come with me to see the Jian Ancestor."

Upon hearing this tone, Li Chen felt a headache coming on.

Clearly, even if he didn’t want to comply, this lady would forcibly take him to see the Universe Intention of Jianmu Universe.

This seemed... non-negotiable.

However, Li Chen also noticed a detail.

This Poem Shadow Dao Saint seemed to be elevated so high by others, no one daring to defy her will, which, instead, over the years, though she gained unparalleled renown across the Jianmu Universe.

In certain ways, she still appeared naïve like a little girl!

However, confronting the universe intention, unless it’s crucial, Li Chen truly didn’t want to meet it.

From Poem Shadow’s words, Li Chen gathered quite a bit of information.

Indeed, there were remnants of the main consciousness of the Jianmu Universe, not entirely transformed into a detached observer-like Great Universe Intention.

Moreover, even the residual main consciousness cannot easily descend. It requires special places or methods to manifest.

Otherwise, Poem Shadow wouldn’t need to waste words with him here; the manifestation of the Great Universe Intention of Jianmu Wood would overwhelm anyone.

Even an Origin Realm powerhouse would have to kneel!

"Fine, I can agree to go see your Jianmu Universe Intention, but you must agree to a condition of mine." Li Chen slowly opened his mouth.

Since the Great Universe Intention cannot descend, there is room for negotiation.

"What condition?"

"I want something, and if you can give it to me, I will go with you to see the Jianmu Universe Intention."

"What thing?"

At this point, many could no longer tolerate Li Chen’s push for advantage.

This guy, who does he think he is?

Is he not just a Dao Saint?

Even if he was at the late stage of Palm Source Realm, Jianmu Universe has some like him.

But Poem Shadow, the entire Jianmu Universe, only has one like her!

What qualification does he have to demand so many terms before Lady Poem Shadow?

Li Chen’s next words, however, were beyond unbearable.

Because everyone figured he must be insane.

"I want... his life!"

With one hand, Li Chen, somehow forcefully broke Poem Shadow Dao Saint’s imprisonment, pointing towards Mie Xing in the distance.

In Poem Shadow’s somewhat incredulous gaze, this man, whom she thought was merely sharp of tongue, actually broke free from her divine skill confinement.

"If you are unwilling to agree, then please forgive me for not accompanying you."

"Of course, if you intend to use force..."

Li Chen grinned, with eyes carrying something that even made Poem Shadow feel a sudden pang of anxiety.

"You could try and see if I can drag the entire Jianmu Universe down with me!"
