Chapter 165 The Whereabouts of the Willow Goddess!
"I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but based on my guess, Liu Shen must have gone to the Upper Realm..."

Zhu Chen then eloquently shared his views.

When Liu Shen fought with the Crimson King's Dharma Body, her cultivation had not yet recovered. Although her true body followed the Crimson King into the River of Time, she probably did not yet have the ability to traverse the River of Time.

According to his speculation, Liu Shen must have used all her strength to defeat the Red King's avatar, or perhaps she banished it into the river of time.

That's why the Red King later descended in his true form, wanting to completely annihilate him.

There are only two possibilities why Liu Shen did not return after this battle.

Firstly, during her battle with the Crimson King, she broke through the boundary barrier that sealed off the upper and lower realms, and went to the upper realm.

Secondly, the Gate of Origin appeared prematurely, forcing her to enter it.

Both possibilities are roughly equal.

Zhu Chen told Shi Hao that Liu Shen might have gone to the Upper Realm, which was actually a way for him to comfort himself.

After all, if Liu Shen were to go to the Upper Realm, she would at most face those sect leaders and giants and a remnant immortal from the Immortal Palace!
But if you were to enter that primordial gate, the odds would be against you.

Even if she were still alive, she might have encountered taboo horrors that ordinary people cannot comprehend.

"Damn it, it's all my fault for being too weak. If I were stronger, I might be able to help you guys."

Shi Hao slammed his fist into the stone wall beside him, shattering it into pieces.

Gravel was scattered all over the ground, kicking up a lot of dust.

Shi Hao never dreamed that Zhu Chen would face such a powerful opponent.

Even when Liu Shen intervened, he was unable to defeat it.

"It's no use. We're all too weak right now. Facing the immortal king from another realm, we don't even have the strength to fight back..."

Zhu Chen told the truth.

Although he has now become famous in the lower realm and is feared by many forces, he has become a legendary figure comparable to an ancient freak.

But in front of the Celestial King, he was no different from an ant.

"Hmph~, so what if they are Immortal Kings? They cultivated for countless years to reach that level. If I had more time, I could still suppress them!"

Shi Hao's gaze was firm, and his tone was filled with an indomitable fighting spirit.

Although he has only just embarked on the path of cultivation, he already possesses a hint of the aura of an unparalleled powerhouse.

Aloof and proud, with a steadfast Dao heart, he truly deserves to be called the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

"Shi Hao, have you ever heard the saying, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime'?"

Zhu Chen looked at Shi Hao and continued to ask.

"Of course I've heard that. The village chief taught me that it means that when you have something good, others will covet it and try to take it from you!"

Shi Hao didn't understand why Zhu Chen asked him this question, but he still patiently gave an explanation.

However, after saying these words, he immediately changed his tone and sneered, "But I believe that as long as I am strong enough, even if others try to take it from me, I can fight back. Weakness is the original sin, while the strong are fearless!"

Shi Hao's subsequent interpretation was consistent with Zhu Chen's thoughts.

Seeing that Shi Hao was so enlightened, Zhu Chen decided to cut to the chase and said, "Since you think this way, I'll give you a few things now, but these things might bring you a lot of trouble in the future. Whether you want them or not is up to you to decide..."

After saying that, he raised his hand and decisively threw over a few pieces of primordial treasure bone.

After taking the few pieces of primordial treasure bone, Shi Hao only glanced at them before his expression froze.

"Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique... True Phoenix Treasure Technique... Grass Character Sword Art... Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique... Willow God Technique... These, are they all for me?"

Shi Hao was completely dumbfounded, and even his breathing became rapid.

The magical techniques Zhu Chen is giving him are all priceless. Isn't that incredibly generous?
"These precious techniques were all copied by me before. After you learn them, your precious bones will shatter and disappear on their own."

Zhu Chen spoke up.

The precious techniques he gave Shi Hao this time were either the Ten Fierce Techniques or the Immortal King Techniques, each of which was stronger than the Suanni precious technique on the other party's body.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique is the supreme heavenly technique of the Supreme Hall, and its value surpasses that of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques.

Any one of these things, if left out in the open, would be enough to cause a bloodbath and attract countless people to covet them.

Shi Hao is still a complete novice; he's never seen anything like this before.

Everyone was deeply moved.

"Brother Zhu Chen, these precious techniques you gave me are too valuable. I don't know how to thank you enough..."

As Shi Hao spoke, he carefully stored the precious bones into his own cave.

He was naturally aware of the dangers of practicing these precious techniques.

But he is a strong-willed person, so why would he shrink back just because he is worried that his things will be coveted?
He's determined to learn these amazing skills!
"We're all brothers, there's no need to be so formal!"

Zhu Chen nodded, then tossed a crumpled animal hide to Shi Hao: "This animal hide contains a wisp of saintly sword intent. After you comprehend it, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort when you cultivate the Grass Character Sword Technique."

This animal hide was something he had obtained from Granny Xihua, and it contained a trace of a saint's sword intent.

He had already comprehended the Sage's Sword Intent, and since keeping it was useless, he simply gave it to Shi Hao as a favor.

This kid will be a great help to him in the future, so he must be trained well.

……

After saying goodbye to Shi Hao, Zhu Chen turned around and went to find Huo Ling'er.

When Huo Ling'er left the meeting hall earlier, she was with the witch.

The two women seemed to have something to talk about and didn't want anyone else to follow them.

However, when Zhu Chen found Huo Ling'er again, he discovered that the witch had already disappeared.

"What? Are you disappointed that the witch isn't here?"

When Huo Ling'er saw Zhu Chen return to her, she immediately crossed her arms and said smugly, "Let me tell you, that witch sister already has someone she likes, so you'd better not try anything with her!"

"Heh, it's just a spirit body, what could I possibly be up to?"

Zhu Chen shook his head with a wry smile.

Huo Ling'er is too sensitive. He doesn't know how he will tell her that he has been keeping several women outside.

Speaking of women, Zhu Chen suddenly remembered that there was one imprisoned in his cave.

With a thought, he decisively pulled Yuechan out of his cosmic cave.

Yuechan tried to run away, but Zhu Chen used the Vermilion Bird Technique to immobilize her on the spot.

"If you run again, I'll have the witch seal your cultivation with the Soul-Suppressing Pearl..."

Zhu Chen warned Yue Chan before withdrawing his magic.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Yuechan took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Zhu Chen, asking a question.

Zhu Chen smirked: "It's nothing really. I just want to make a deal with you!"
