Chapter 2110 - 2078: Farewell to Qingyan
Chapter 2110 - 2078: Farewell to Qingyan
Because he was anxious, Li Chen did not hide his divine sense at all.
After all, when he was still a nobody, Yin Qingyan had greatly helped him, even though it might have seemed insignificant to her.
But to Li Chen, who was then just an Earth Level cultivator, it was a significant favor, not to mention that later, Yin Qingyan took care of Tian Yi for many years.
Thinking it over, he really owed Yin Qingyan a great deal.
If Yin Qingyan were in trouble, he absolutely couldn’t sit idly by.
Li Chen’s divine sense was so blatant, anyone who sensed its presence would know it belonged to an immensely powerful expert. In Ciran City, the city lord would not dare to say a word, but as his divine sense swept through, a voice did indeed call out.
Soon, a figure rushed out from Formless City.
Upon seeing this figure, Li Chen couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, his expression becoming rather peculiar.
"Miss Qingyan?"
"Is it you?" Yin Qingyan looked at Li Chen with some surprise, rolling her eyes, "Why are you suddenly in Formless City, and using your divine sense all over? I thought we were under attack!"
"Seeing you’re fine, I’m relieved." Li Chen exhaled deeply, smiling, "I went to Ciran City, the city lord said you came to Formless City. I thought you came to exact revenge alone and feared you might be in trouble, so I hurried over."
"So that’s how it is." Hearing Li Chen’s words, Yin Qingyan felt warmth in her heart.
She didn’t have many friends; most lost contact after her family encountered trouble, only reconnecting once situations changed. However, by then, she had seen through their true colors.
Over the years, there were few she found trustworthy, but Li Chen was certainly one.
Because Li Chen was also someone unafraid of trouble, willing to help others proactively.
Back in the Remnant Cloud Forest, if Li Chen hadn’t appeared to help deal with Houmeng, she didn’t know what the outcome would have been.
"Prefecture Master!"
At that moment, a squad of guards rose from the city, coming to Yin Qingyan’s side, saluting as they addressed her.
"You became the Nanxiang Prefecture Leader?" Li Chen couldn’t help but look at Yin Qingyan in surprise.
"It’s a long story, come to the City Lord’s Mansion and let’s talk." Yin Qingyan nodded, then said to Li Chen.
"Alright." Li Chen agreed, not bothering with his flying boat, leaving it outside Formless City. Xiao Chihan was still in closed-door cultivation, and it wasn’t convenient to take him along. There were many people here, so he couldn’t openly open his minor world. Anyway, he could sense it with his divine sense even if it was outside, and besides, this was Nanxiang Prefecture’s capital; he wasn’t afraid of someone stealing his belongings.
"How did you... restore your identity?" Li Chen thought for a moment and then carefully phrased his question.
Nanxiang Prefecture Capital originally belonged to the Yin Family, after her father’s incident it should have been her inheritance. Now that she regained her position as Nanxiang Prefecture Master, it was truly a restoration of her identity.
"It was the new Star Master who helped." Yin Qingyan sighed, then said, "The new Star Master helped clear the Yin family’s wrongful accusations, and once they found me, they sent a notification and restored my identity. After returning to Formless City, I naturally inherited the Prefecture Master position."
"The new Star Master?" Li Chen asked with curiosity.
"That’s right." Yin Qingyan nodded, then looked at Li Chen with curiosity: "Come to think of it, this new Star Master seems to know you. He asked me to inform you to visit the Star Palace if I happen to meet you again."
"He knows me?" Li Chen was intrigued by this information.
"You’ll know when you meet him." Yin Qingyan shook her head, changing the subject, "Now, where have you been all these years? A strong practitioner showed up later, claiming you asked him to take your relatives and friends to a place called ’Borderlands’. He also asked me, but I refused."
Upon hearing Yin Qingyan’s words, Li Chen started to piece the puzzle together.
But facing Yin Qingyan, Li Chen suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
Not for any other reason, but because the distance between them was indescribably vast.
Li Chen was now involved with matters like the Four Realms War, facing Soul Realm experts, and possibly confronting pre-Era civilizations soon, where Domain-level individuals were mere ants in his view.
And Yin Qingyan.
Although Yin Qingyan had made progress over the years, and it showed she was diligently cultivating, she was still stuck at the Peak of Heaven Following Realm, not even reaching Higher Heaven Realm.
Li Chen could tell Yin Qingyan didn’t rush to break through to Higher Heaven Realm because she aspired to become a Domain Realm King.
With the Heaven Realm shattered, its rules fragmented, especially on Earth Prison Star Continent, becoming a King-Level Venerable is as tough as climbing the heavens.
Li Chen managed to become a Heavenly King, perhaps thanks to the chaotic void flinging him to Tian Shang Star Continent during a chase. Otherwise, on Earth Prison Star Continent with its fractured rules, breaking through to Domain Realm would have been a struggle, making a mere normal Higher Heaven Realm achievement the most likely outcome.
Remember, Yue Gouchen as Star Master had access to an entire star continent’s resources.
Yet despite this resource pool, Yue Gouchen’s domain was still flawed and incomplete as a Domain Realm, which shows the difficulty in achieving Domain Spirit Realm on such low-level star continents.
"Do you wish to become a Heavenly King?" Li Chen suddenly asked.
Yin Qingyan was taken aback, originally struggling for a topic, unaware Li Chen would suddenly ask such an unexpected question.
"That’s right!" Yin Qingyan didn’t hesitate long before nodding, in her eyes Li Chen was a true friend, and she saw no reason to hide this from him.
Her cultivation was far too low, inadequate for a Prefecture Master.
Even if she broke through Higher Heaven Realm, she would rank bottom among Prefecture Masters, rendering it meaningless. Only by becoming a Heavenly King could she truly revitalize Nanxiang Prefecture.
"I’ll help you."
Li Chen didn’t waste words, directly placing a hand on Yin Qingyan’s shoulder: "Don’t resist."
In the next instant, Yin Qingyan realized she was in space.
"We’ve... left the star continent?" Seeing the surroundings, Yin Qingyan’s expression blossomed with amazement.
As someone from Heaven Following Realm, though capable of aerial flight, she had never been to the starry sky.
After all, compared to star continent, the starry sky was too mysterious and dangerous for her, utterly beyond her reach as someone at Heaven Following Realm.
"Yes."
"Why did we come here?" Yin Qingyan asked, astonished by Li Chen’s ability to instantly transport them into space. What kind of power was this?
"To have you experience the more complete cosmic rules and to help you become a Domain Realm Heavenly King," Li Chen calmly stated.
