Chapter 1879 - 1848: Facing the Battle!
"What’s wrong?"
On the flying artifact, Yang Xin looked at Li Chen, who was frowning, and asked with some concern.
She truly hadn’t gone into closed-door cultivation since they were nearing Gonghua Heaven, and it wasn’t suitable for her to do so now. But she noticed these days that Li Chen was always frowning, as if something was bothering him.
"I’m fine." Li Chen shook his head and looked at Yang Xin beside him: "It’s just that I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling uneasy these last few days, like something bad is about to happen. It’s just a premonition."
"A sudden insight?" Yang Xin asked.
A sudden insight is something not only martial artists have; immortals have a similar ability. So Yang Xin wasn’t surprised by Li Chen’s premonition.
However, sudden insights are sometimes inaccurate, and sometimes they are frighteningly accurate.
Therefore, most cultivators believe it’s better to err on the side of caution when they experience such insights.
Originally, Li Chen planned to overcome a tribulation before rushing to Gonghua Heaven because the higher the cultivation, the faster one could control the flying magic treasure. Without revealing any trump cards, the current speed was already the best Li Chen could achieve.
As for the Space Law, it’s suitable for emergency transfers in a short time, but clearly not for such long-distance travel. After all, even though he possesses a lot, it’s not limitless.
"A distance across one Heavenly Domain..." Li Chen smiled wryly. One heavenly domain in the Immortal Domain is much larger than a star continent in the Heaven Realm.
With his Space Law abilities, moving the distance of a star continent is likely impossible, let alone so far across a Heavenly Domain.
"Let’s move quickly to avoid unexpected trouble," Li Chen gritted his teeth and controlled the flying magic treasure, charging straight towards Gonghua Heaven.
Because he felt that as time passed, the sense of crisis not only didn’t fade but grew increasingly intense.
"Someone must be targeting me, but... who exactly?"
Li Chen felt a bit anxious in his heart.
Normal strong adversaries wouldn’t make him feel this way.
Such a strong sense of danger could only mean one thing.
The one targeting him had an unbelievably high cultivation!
"Whoosh—"
The flying magic treasure sped through the lands, and the surrounding scenery rapidly retreated, making it hard for ordinary people to see the scenery clearly.
But this speed was still too slow for Li Chen.
"Buzz—"
In the distance behind Li Chen, a figure suddenly paused.
"Looks like this direction is right."
Mo Daoyi slowly stretched out a hand and waved it towards the void.
With that wave, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly, scenes from the past appeared continuously in this wave.
Memory Recall!
This spell, unrelated to the Time Law, forced activation. It is a technique to forcefully mobilize the memories of the surrounding mountains, land, and sky for reading, relying on his powerful cultivation at the Daoist Lord Realm.
Within the flashbacks, Mo Daoyi suddenly paused.
Finally, his gaze locked onto a flying magic treasure.
"It’s you, little mouse, I’ve found you."
Mo Daoyi chuckled coldly; a strange gleam flashed in his ink-black eyes. The next moment, the spell ceased, and his figure disappeared again.
...
"No, something’s wrong!"
Li Chen’s brows furrowed deeper. For some reason, the sense of crisis was too intense, like a mountain pressing on his heart, even making it hard for him to breathe.
He even felt like there was nowhere to hide.
Such a feeling... "This is very dire," Li Chen muttered to himself.
Handing over the flying magic treasure to Yang Xin to control, Li Chen sat cross-legged beside her, beginning to tinker with something.
He needed to make preparations.
No matter what the imminent crisis might be, preparations were necessary.
Even if it might not work, preparing a backup plan is necessary.
"Stop!"
Li Chen suddenly said.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Yang Xin turned to him, confused.
"Let’s stop here for now. I feel... someone is tracking us, and their speed is likely beyond ours." Li Chen smiled wryly.
"So you’re planning to..."
"Make preparations in advance!" Li Chen gritted his teeth.
Regardless of who it is, being prepared is better than fighting hastily.
At least, that’s what Li Chen believed.
After all, he was a formation master! Even if his cultivation wasn’t enough, he could still apply his skills in other areas.
Li Chen stopped.
Because he felt that no matter how far he ran, it might be pointless.
Instead of waiting to be caught off guard, it was better to prepare ahead of time.
In a valley surrounded by three mountains, Li Chen and Yang Xin stopped the flying magic treasure.
Next, Li Chen began setting up formations in the valley.
Seventh-level Emperor Extreme Heavenly Illusion Formation!
Seventh-level Star Controlling Sky Formation!
Seventh-level Star Prison Moving Heaven Formation!
And inside, a formation barely arranged with the guidance of Primordial Heavy Water—the Eighth-level Hexagram Star Radiance Formation!
Illusion Array, Trapping Formation, Killing Formation, Defensive Array!
All-encompassing!
"You should actually find a place to hide; I can sense that this crisis is only aimed at me and not at you..." Li Chen smiled bitterly at Yang Xin beside him, exhausted with his face pale from setting up formations far exceeding his cultivation realm.
Yang Xin reached out her hand, stopping Li Chen from speaking further: "I know what you want to say, but I want to tell you that after meeting you again, I won’t let go so easily."
Yang Xin chuckled: "I’ve had thoughts like this before, but back then, I was too insecure, and to me, you were too tall, so tall that I didn’t dare to get too close to you."
"But now, it’s different."
"I won’t let go again."
Li Chen remained silent, then reached out and tightly held Yang Xin’s hand, without saying more.
At this moment, any more words seemed unnecessary.
When a woman is willing to face life and death with you, is there any need to say more?
Looking at the layers of formations outside, Li Chen’s gaze focused.
"Next is preparing the pills!"
Pills can not only heal, cure, and enhance cultivation.
They can also kill!
Since learning the Alchemy Dao, Li Chen mostly refined pills for personal cultivation. It wasn’t that he couldn’t make poison pills or pills to kill, but he felt that those were mostly unnecessary.
But now, he couldn’t afford to dismiss them.
Not just for himself, but for this woman willing to share life and death with him!
Days later, when Li Chen finished refining several furnaces of pills, a gentle tremor sounded from the sky beyond.
A gray figure descended upon the region.
