Chapter 1900 - 1869: The Bankrupt Trio
After leaving Jin Luo, Li Chen and the other two exchanged a few words with Pang Gai and Hai Ming before departing.
The suggestion Jin Luo proposed might be the best for him, but for Li Chen, it wasn’t a good idea.
Fundamentally, Li Chen had no intention of fighting for the Immortal Domain; he came to Starry Sky Immortal City just to return to Heaven Realm through the battlefield.
Moreover, Yang Xin and Bai Tianyi were obviously not going to leave him.
In the end, with no other choice, they finally reached a consensus: Li Chen and his two companions would lead one team, while Jin Luo and each of his companions would lead another, forming a total of four teams.
Although on the battlefield one must follow orders, ultimately it depends on individual opinions because once on the Ancient Battlefield Continent, the legion will inevitably scatter, and at that time, everyone’s abilities will be tested. Moreover, in a place as dangerous as the Ancient Battlefield Continent, it’s impossible to command everyone.
"Brother Li Chen, are we really going to war?" The three entered a quiet room together and began to discuss.
This quiet room was specially modified by Li Chen. Although it doesn’t look big, Li Chen laid dozens of overlapping formations around it, and also set monitoring formations. As long as he was unwilling, not even a Daoist Lord could spy on him. Discussing here was the safest.
Upon hearing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "If I could, I really wouldn’t want to fight a war."
"At times like this, even if you don’t agree, you have to," Yang Xin said, "Otherwise, Jin Luo might suspect your background."
"I know," Li Chen nodded, "I think, based on my request earlier, even if I didn’t refuse, he probably had some doubts?"
Indeed, although the three of them were strong, separating might be better for survival, yet Li Chen insisted they stay together.
For this, Li Chen found a good excuse.
He claimed that Yang Xin and Bai Tianyi were his Daoist companions.
So, under the envious and jealous gazes of Jin Luo’s group, they could only nod in agreement.
Can you still separate them after hearing they’re Daoist companions?
"But if we really enter the Ancient Battlefield Continent, what about the people following us?" Yang Xin was clearly more thoughtful than Bai Tianyi, considering more aspects.
"I actually thought about this issue earlier," Li Chen frowned.
"There’s no doubt that if we bring them with us, once we encounter martial artists from Heaven, there will definitely be a fight. So, we must first find a way to shake off the immortals following us."
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Yang Xin also nodded and asked, "What’s your plan?"
"Don’t worry," Li Chen smiled, his smile carrying some deep meaning, "I’ve got a way. Just cooperate with me then."
Bai Tianyi obediently sat to the side, pretending she understood, occasionally nodding in agreement with Li Chen and Yang Xin.
Her thinking was the simplest; after all, whatever Brother Li Chen says is what she’ll do.
Seeing Bai Tianyi’s approval, Li Chen couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.
"Alright, Jin Luo mentioned that the order has been issued, and we have about a month to prepare, so during this month, take Tian Yi to stroll around Starry Sky Immortal City and buy more useful things. I’ll act alone."
Li Chen spoke with a heavy tone, "As Jin Luo is an Immortal Venerable, and a veteran who’s been through countless wars, even if his cultivation isn’t high, his survival skills are undoubtedly strong. Since he mentioned the Ancient Battlefield Continent is full of dangers, we cannot be careless."
"Hmm," Yang Xin nodded, "I’ll buy more emergency supplies."
At this moment, Bai Tianyi suddenly raised her hand to express her opinion.
"Brother Li Chen, Sister Yang Xin, didn’t we realize a few days ago that we’re out of money when we checked the rings?"
Li Chen: "..."
Yang Xin: "..."
Right, it was this moment that Li Chen recalled that the spirit crystals on both him and Yang Xin were completely spent during a recent marketplace purchase.
After all, those materials were all high-grade materials, none of them cheap. Even with Li Chen’s considerable wealth, he nearly went bankrupt. Additionally, their spending in Starry Sky Immortal City was not small, and a few days ago, the three of them declared outright bankruptcy.
"Don’t panic!" Li Chen scratched the back of his head, "We have a month’s time, so for the first half of the month, you two cultivate while I go make money."
"What are you planning to do?" Yang Xin asked.
"Return to my old trade, selling pills," Li Chen grinned, showing his teeth.
...
Dao Tribulation Space.
This is a special space.
It is also a space that only the topmost experts can enter.
For no reason other than that every expert who enters here signifies one thing: they are advancing to Daoist Lord.
Throughout countless eons, every expert advancing to Daoist Lord entered this space with eager anticipation, some with gravity, some lighthearted, some frightened, and some fearless.
But... throughout countless eons, Mo Daoyi definitely ranks among the most aggrieved.
This is the Dao Tribulation Space where you cross the Dao Lord Golden Tribulation when advancing to Daoist Lord.
Standing in this space, Mo Daoyi looked indifferently at the Dao Tribulation pouring down from the sky.
There were Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, wind and thunder, Light and Darkness, ice.
Exploding as if with joy.
Most importantly, Mo Daoyi could feel that the Dao Lord Golden Tribulation seemed exceptionally powerful, as if tailored to his strength, and any ordinary newly advanced Daoist Lord would be reduced to fragments.
Even he had to exert all his heart force to resist.
But the catch is... he’s already a Daoist Lord!
Mo Daoyi’s mood at this moment was on the verge of collapse.
If he ever saw that kid again, he swore he would torture the other to his heart’s content for a few thousand years before killing him.
"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!"
A succession of Dao Tribulations descended from the sky, forcing Mo Daoyi to defend himself awkwardly.
As an immortal, even a Daoist Lord, he was still an immortal, and his combat power wasn’t counted as particularly formidable. An immortal’s greatest strength lies in manipulating external objects.
Unfortunately, not long ago, when Mo Daoyi was undergoing tribulation, almost all his treasures were expended during the Dao Lord Golden Tribulation.
And now, he’s practically in a state of two clean sleeves.
Therefore, this tribulation might even be more dangerous than the last.
A slight mistake, and he might lose his life!
The Dao Tribulations grew increasingly strong, and Mo Daoyi’s icy expression finally twisted in agony.
"Damn it!!!"
"Ah~~!!!"
Mo Daoyi’s shout echoed throughout the Dao Tribulation Space, his anguished voice capable of making listeners feel heartbroken and witnesses shed tears.
