Chapter 536 This mortal dares not kneel before an immortal? (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

At first, they thought it was normal for Li Chen to instantly defeat a Six Harmonies Realm expert.

Because the chosen ones are all of this strength.

When they reached the Instant Heaven Abyss Realm, neither of them could quite understand it.

That's something only big shots like sect elders can do.

They were already very respectful to Li Chen at that time.

Now that Li Chen has instantly killed a Saint-level Immortal Soldier, the two of them even felt that it was disrespectful to Li Chen to stand and talk to him.
This sounds absurd, but if the two of them knew Li Chen's identity, it really wouldn't be appropriate for them to stand there.

"What level is Senior Li at?" Yue Shuang, who was stunned, recovered from her daze.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be at the Saint Realm without a doubt," Yunhe said seriously, his gaze towards Li Chen becoming even more fervent and admiring.

You should know that the sect leader of the Guixu Wuyai Sect is also a Saint Realm expert, a height that they look up to their whole lives. They never expected that this person of similar age would have already reached such a level.

Thinking of this, Yue Shuang and Yun He exchanged a glance.

The two of them simultaneously thought of the same thing: the ambiguous relationship between Elder Shuyu and Young Master Li.

I used to think it was just my imagination. After all, Elder Shuyu has always been arrogant, and she wouldn't even look at someone who wasn't a Saint. But now it seems that it might really be true.

After all, this person is a Saint Realm expert.

He couldn't help but think to himself: I never expected that Elder Shuyu would also be an old cow eating young grass.

However, he only dared to keep this thought to himself and would never dare to say it out loud.

Li Chen paid no attention to their thoughts, but instead carefully observed the structure of the immortal ruins.

Yue Shuang and Yun He then got busy collecting the precious materials that the immortal soldiers had "dropped".

"This is... Xuan Tian Refined Gold!" Yue Shuang carefully picked up a piece of metal that shimmered with purple light, her voice trembling.

"And this!" Yunhe dug out a fist-sized crystal core from the pile of rubble. "The inner core of a Saint-level demon beast!"

The two quickly gathered a large pile of rare materials and respectfully placed them in front of Li Chen: "Senior, please choose first."

Li Chen glanced at it casually, then picked up the smallest piece of Xuan Tian Refined Gold: "This is enough, you can divide the rest among yourselves."

"This!" Yue Shuang and Yun He both widened their eyes at the same time.

Any one of these materials could cause a bloodbath if placed outside, yet Li Chen gave them to them so easily?

"Senior, this is too precious," Yunhe stammered.

Li Chen waved his hand: "I don't need these, but they should be helpful for your cultivation."

His inner thoughts: He's too lazy to take it.

With a thud, the two knelt down simultaneously: "Thank you for your kindness, senior!"

His voice was full of sincere gratitude.

You should know that if you come with the sect elders, most of these things will have to be handed over, not to mention that these immortal weapons were not defeated by them at all.

Next, we will explore the three main halls.

The main hall is magnificent, while the two secondary halls are smaller but equally extraordinary.

Li Chen pointed to the main hall: "I'll go over there. You two can each choose a secondary hall."

Yue Shuang bit her lip: "Senior, we..."

We've already taken so much, and yet we're still letting them go to the secondary hall? That means they can still take more opportunities from there. I feel a little embarrassed.

Li Chen interrupted her, his tone gentle yet authoritative: "The path of cultivation ultimately depends on oneself. Danger and opportunity coexist; this is the meaning of experience." The two women stood in solemn respect, bowing again: "We will heed your teachings, senior!"

Watching Li Chen walk towards the main hall, Yun He suddenly whispered, "Do you think... could Senior be the reincarnation of some reclusive old monster?"

"Shh!" Yue Shuang pinched him hard. "Don't talk nonsense! Go explore!"

The two each chose a secondary hall and stepped inside with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

People are like a group photo; it's not enough to just talk about how good someone is to them. Although Li Chen didn't say much, he actually gave them so many benefits that their gratitude towards him was beyond words.

At this moment, Li Chen was already standing in front of the main hall, looking at the door carved with intricate array patterns, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up: "Interesting."

The array of mechanisms is intricate and profound; if an ordinary cultivator were to come here, it would probably take them several days to decipher it.

In the secondary hall, Yue Shuang and Yun He were sweating profusely as they studied the ancient runes on the walls, carefully adjusting each of the array's key points.

Li Chen merely glanced at the array patterns on the main hall's gate, then a dazzling golden light surged from his palm and forcefully injected into the array's core.

The array patterns instantly disintegrated as if ice and snow were melting, and the heavy door emitted a muffled rumble as it slowly opened to both sides.

The view behind the door is breathtaking. The entire hall seems to be floating in the clouds, and the ground is paved with "starlight jade," which is rarely seen in the outside world. Every step you take will cause ripples of silver light to spread.

The walls are not inlaid with ordinary pearls, but with miniature stars, radiating a soft yet eternal glow.

Above the dome, the Milky Way hangs upside down, and countless stars move slowly along mysterious trajectories.

"Indeed, it is the ruins of an immortal." Li Chen said calmly, as if the strange sight before him was nothing more than an ordinary courtyard.

He strolled along, and wherever he went, those magical herbs and elixirs that would drive outsiders crazy grew freely by the roadside, some even trampled underfoot.

The main hall was riddled with traps, but neither the bronze beast head that spewed out the coldest ice of the underworld nor the inescapable net that could kill even saints could withstand them.

He didn't even stop walking; he simply flicked out a few golden lights, and all the mechanisms went silent.

Suddenly, Li Chen sensed an unusually strong fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from the side hall on the right.

Pushing open the door, what comes into view is a crystal coffin, floating quietly in mid-air.

Lying in the coffin was an unparalleled fairy, with skin as white as snow and cherry lips that were naturally red without any makeup.

Her silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall, the ends of which were adorned with tiny starlight.

Even in her sleep, the light veil could not conceal her stunning figure; her full breasts rose and fell slightly with her breath, while her waist was so slender it seemed as if it could be grasped with a single hand.

What's most astonishing is the ethereal aura surrounding her, each wisp containing a breathtaking power.

"She is indeed a rare beauty," Li Chen commented, as if he were appraising a work of art.

Just then, a phantom figure suddenly appeared beside the crystal coffin.

He was a dignified middle-aged man, wearing a star crown and a robe with the sun and moon on his body, and his eyes seemed to flash with lightning when he opened and closed them.

Although it was just a projection, it possessed an aura that surpassed all living beings.

"Who are you?" Li Chen asked directly.

Tai Xing Immortal Venerable frowned. How dare this mortal not kneel before an immortal?
He snorted coldly, his voice booming like a bell: "I am the Immortal Venerable Tai Xing!"

The expected worship did not occur.

Li Chen simply stood there calmly, even somewhat bored, waiting for him to continue speaking.

It's like watching a 'transition animation'.
