Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

"Hiss!"

Everyone gasped; none would have imagined that the Heavenly Sword Mountain's Heavenly Pride, Jian Chenn, would be defeated by an unknown Loose Cultivator.

This battle is sure to spread Li Chen's name throughout the Jiuzhou Cultivation World.

Li Chen glanced at the unknown fate of Jian Chenn, dusted off his clothes, and said solemnly, "Haha, seems like your so-called sect's Heavenly Pride is just that!"

As he spoke, his air of arrogance was overpowering between his brows.

Seeing this scene, the group of Loose Cultivators broke into thunderous applause after a brief silence.

These disciples from Great Sects and Great Families, relying on their sect background, flaunted their power all day, bullying and humiliating the Loose Cultivators at will.

Now, seeing the Heavenly Sword Mountain's Heavenly Pride Jian Chenn suffer a setback, naturally, they felt a sense of release and joy, shouting and cheering together.

Meanwhile, those sect family descendants felt utterly embarrassed, their faces burning hot. Yet Jian Chenn's mistake lay right before them, none dared to rashly challenge Li Chen and could only resort to verbal retaliation.

"Brother, look at how smug he is, just for defeating Jian Chenn. What's there to be proud of? Really dazzled by a bit of fame, oblivious to how vast the world is."

"Brother, why don't you step in and teach him a lesson, show him what's beyond the heavens and there's always someone better?"

Mocking Li Chen, Dugu Yan then tried to incite Dugu Ming to make a move.

Upon hearing his sister's words, Dugu Ming felt somewhat tempted, but not for impressing the crowd. He simply felt Li Chen was the worthy opponent for him to draw his sword against.

Li Chen suddenly sensed a chilling threat like needles in his back, turned to look, meeting eyes with Dugu Ming.

"Such formidable Sword Dao, at least ten times better than Jian Chenn's!"

Li Chen thought like this inside, his mind whirling, even pondering how to respond if the opponent made a move.

As the situation grew somewhat tense, suddenly the disciples of Heavenly Sword Mountain began shouting at Li Chen.

"Li Chen, Elder Brother Jian Chenn's cousin is our Heavenly Sword Mountain's Chief Disciple, Jian Wuheng. Now you've killed him, just wait for Elder Brother Wuheng's wrath!"

Upon hearing the name "Jian Wuheng," everyone present was shocked.

Jian Wuheng, the current Chief Disciple of Heavenly Sword Mountain, the designated heir of the next Sect Leader, a leading figure among the young generation in the Cultivation Realm.

Moreover, he has an engagement with the Cultivation Realm's foremost beauty, Ling Shuanghua. When that time comes, the union of Heavenly Sword Mountain and Cloud Sea Sect, their power and prestige will be unprecedented.

To offend Jian Wuheng essentially equates to stepping into hell with one foot.

However, Li Chen did not respond much to this, simply replied coldly, "Alright, I will wait for him!"

Having said that, he turned his gaze back to Dugu Ming.

Those few lackeys of Heavenly Sword Mountain were not worth mentioning; the white-clothed man before him was the truly dangerous figure.

Still, Dugu Ming did not react at all. He glanced at Li Chen once, brushed his sleeve, and said, "Let's go," turning away.

"Hey, big brother, why are you leaving? Wait for me!"

Dugu Yan froze upon seeing her brother suddenly leave, hurriedly chasing after him.

At that moment, Lian Hongshang and Shui Yue ran over.

Watching Dugu Ming's departing back, Shui Yue muttered, "Dugu Ming, why is he also here?"

Li Chen took a glance at Dugu Ming's retreating figure and casually asked, "What's his background?"

Shui Yue explained, "He's a once-in-a-century genius of the Dugu Family, very reclusive, and also a Sword Obsessed!"

After hearing Shui Yue's explanation, Li Chen nodded in realization.

Lian Hongshang blinked her eyes and asked, "Shui Yue, compared to Jian Wuheng, who do you think is more powerful, Dugu Ming or he?"

Shui Yue pondered while holding her chin, "Jian Wuheng is the Chief Disciple of Heavenly Sword Mountain, his talent is astonishing. It's said that when he just achieved Golden Core Formation, he could withstand a blow from a Nascent Soul Strong Person without defeat..."

"Ah, that's so powerful?" Lian Hongshang exclaimed, mouth agape.

Even Li Chen's expression slightly stiffened.

With his current abilities, even leveraging his Domineering Longevity Body, he couldn't endure a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator without using his trump cards.

Thus, the terror of Jian Wuheng's talent was evident!

After recounting Jian Wuheng's various legendary deeds, Shui Yue paused briefly before continuing about Dugu Ming.

"However, Dugu Ming is not weak either, and he's very mysterious, rarely seen in action. It's said the Dugu Family's Dugu Nine Swords are proclaimed as Jiuzhou's finest Sword Dao."

"But, I've heard from the masters that the ninth form of Dugu Nine Swords is lost; it can only be trained to the eighth sword. While Jian Wuheng mastered the Heavenly Sword Nine Techniques to the final stage. Therefore, I feel, if they fought, Jian Wuheng might have a slight edge!"

"Oh, by the way, the move Jian Chenn used earlier was the Heavenly Sword Nine Techniques. Either the first form or the second, I can't quite recall!"

Shui Yue tilted her head, trying hard to recall.

Upon hearing her words, Lian Hongshang's clear eyes filled with worry.

Just the power of the first or second forms was already terrifying. What about the last three forms, wouldn't they be earth-shattering?

However, Li Chen didn't show much concern. His deep and bright eyes even revealed a strong fighting spirit.

After this turmoil settled, Li Chen, together with Lian Hongshang, accompanied Shui Yue back to Moon God Palace, conveniently paying a visit to Zhao Yuqing.

Continuing onward led them to Moon God Palace's domain.

Shui Yue, being Elder Jing Yi Immortal's adopted daughter, an elite disciple, made this journey smooth, saving Li Chen a lot of trouble.

Yet, throughout the journey, Shui Yue's mouth didn't stop. She became the tour guide, eloquently sharing tales of the scenery and the Moon God Palace's long-standing history.

Initially, Lian Hongshang showed interest, occasionally asking crucial questions, leading Shui Yue to continue speaking.

But as they drew closer to the Headquarters of Moon God Palace, she became more absent-minded, barely responding, or simply "Mm, oh," barely acknowledging.

The "culprit" making her this way was precisely Moon God Palace's Zhao Yuqing.

She had never met Zhao Yuqing, only heard Qin Qing speak of her several times, knowing Qin Feng had a crush on this girl.

According to Qin Qingwu, Zhao Yuqing was exceptionally beautiful, gentle like water, loved Li Chen deeply, and was a very persistent and adorable girl evoking sympathy.

During this period, she spent day in and day out with Li Chen. As one modern Earth saying goes, daytime cuddling, nighttime intimacy. Such sweet delusion made her nearly forget Zhao Yuqing and Ye Chuxue's existence.

But delusions, ultimately, are just delusions!

What must come, surely will come!
