My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

With a thought, he directly probed his all-encompassing divine soul space.

He rummaged through the piles of bottles and jars that he had disdainfully tossed in the corner.

"Splash!"

Li Chen waved his hand casually.

With a series of crisp clinking sounds, a handful of round pills, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance and with colorful patterns flowing on their surface, fell directly onto the grass in front of Jiang Liyue, like scattering beans.

The rich aroma of herbs instantly filled the entire valley.

Just one whiff of it is enough to make you feel refreshed and relaxed, as if even fatigue and pain are lessened.

"Take a look."

Li Chen pointed to the pile of top-grade pills on the ground, which looked like candy beans.

"Is that Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill you're talking about the kind of crunchy pill you eat?"

Jiang Liyue was stunned.

Jiang Qingxue's eyes widened as well, as if she were experiencing a final burst of energy before death.

The two sisters stared intently at the pile of pills on the grass.

This is nowhere near the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill of the Qingxuan Sect!

The Rejuvenation Pills of the Qingxuan Sect typically have only three pill patterns at most. But these pills, carelessly tossed on the ground like candy, are each densely covered with seven or even eight pill patterns!

This is the legendary "Eighth-Order Life Creation Pill," which can only be refined by alchemy grandmasters at the Nascent Soul stage or above!

Any one of them could be enough to ignite a bloody battle in the Origin Heaven Realm!

And this man who called himself "Li Shimin" actually pulled out a huge handful!

"This...this is too precious!" Jiang Liyue stammered, her breath catching in her throat.

"Valuable my foot, I don't even think it takes up any space."

Li Chen rolled his eyes, picked up a piece at random, and roughly stuffed it into Jiang Qingxue's mouth.

The elixir melts instantly upon entering the mouth.

It transformed into an immense, outrageously powerful life force, instantly protecting Jiang Qingxue's shattered heart meridian.

The ashen color on her face faded at a visible speed.

His breathing, which had been weak, gradually became steady and strong.

"Thank you so much, Brother Li, for saving my life!"

Jiang Liyue was so excited that she was incoherent and kowtowed three times to Li Chen.

"Alright." Li Chen waved his hand.

"This desolate place is not suitable for healing. Although your sister's life has been saved, she still needs an absolutely safe place to cultivate in seclusion in order to fully refine the medicinal power."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liyue immediately wiped away her tears.

She removed an antique bead that emitted a warm, white light from her fair neck.

"Brother Li, rest assured, this is the 'Mount Sumeru Pearl' passed down in my Jiang family."

Jiang Liyue explained, "This bead contains its own small space, rich in spiritual energy, perfect for secluded cultivation and healing. I'll let my sister go in now!"

After saying that, Jiang Liyue activated her spiritual power.

With a flash of white light, the heavily injured Jiang Qingxue was taken into the independent space inside the bead.

Li Chen looked at the bead with some surprise.

This Origin Heaven Realm is indeed profound; even a woman from a random family carries such a spatial treasure.

"Alright, your sister is fine now."

Li Chen stood up, twisted his neck, and his bones cracked like popping beans.

"Now, we should get down to business."

A bloodthirsty glint of extreme excitement flashed in Li Chen's eyes.

After catching their breath for half a day, and nourished by the incredibly rich spiritual energy of the Origin Heaven Realm.

His meridians, which had been damaged in the spatial turbulence, have been completely repaired.

The golden elixir, riddled with cracks, not only healed completely, but also, having absorbed too much spiritual energy from heaven and earth, felt faintly bloated, as if it were about to burst.

However, because he has just reconstructed his physical body, his current cultivation level is temporarily suppressed to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage.

But so what?

Li Chen took a deep breath.

He casually threw a punch at a huge blue stone next to him, which weighed hundreds of thousands of kilograms.

No magic was used; it was simply the release of pure true energy.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar.

The large blue stone, which resembled a small mountain, was instantly shattered into countless pieces of stone dust!

The violent force even plowed a terrifying trench more than ten feet long into the ground of the deep valley!

Li Chen looked at his fist and couldn't help but gasp.

"This destructive power... is this really damage that a Foundation Establishment cultivator can unleash?"

Li Chen was almost moved to tears.

He finally understood why he always found casting spells so difficult back in the Tang Dynasty.

In the spiritually depleted mire of the Tang Dynasty, casting a spell was like struggling to pull one's legs out of a swamp.

All its power relies on the true essence within its own body to withstand it, and because the laws of heaven and earth are incomplete, its power is also limited.

But in this Origin Heaven Realm...

In this world brimming with spiritual energy!

His every move, as long as he releases even a trace of true essence, will cause the omnipresent spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him to gather like the most obedient soldiers, amplifying the power of his spells tenfold or even a hundredfold!

Here, he is the god who rules over everything!

"Waaaaah, what kind of miserable, fake cultivation life did I live before?!"

Li Chen looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Finally, I can have a proper meal!"

……

at the same time.

Qingxuan Sect, on the White Jade Square.

The wedding ceremony was completely ruined. The bride was kidnapped in public, and several of the guards died mysteriously.

Young Sect Master Yin Wujiu has now completely fallen into a state of madness.

He stared at the two guards' corpses on the ground, who had stabbed each other to death with their swords, and trembled with rage. He kicked the bronze incense burner next to him, shattering it to pieces.

"A humiliating disgrace! This is the greatest disgrace since the founding of my Qing Dynasty!"

Yin Wujiu's eyes were bloodshot, like a mad beast, as he let out a fierce roar at the trembling elders and deacons behind him.

"Relay my orders!"

"Activate the sect's highest-level 'Blood Kill Order'! Issue red-letter bounty notices to all vassal sects and rogue cultivators throughout the entire Origin Heaven Realm!"

"Capture that shameless lecherous scoundrel named Li Shimin with all our might!"

"Whoever brings his head to me will be rewarded with ten thousand top-grade spirit stones and three Xuan-rank cultivation techniques!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

In just half a day.

One after another, wanted posters depicting Li Chen's handsome face, but bearing the five blood-red characters "Li Shimin the Lecherous Thief," flew like snowflakes to all corners of the Origin Heaven Realm.

Wherever he went, the crowds were outraged.

Countless rogue cultivators and sect disciples, eager for the bounty, drew their swords like sharks smelling blood and began frantically searching for Li Chen's whereabouts in this vast secret realm.

……

In the distant Tang Dynasty, in the city of Chang'an.

Inside the Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin was sitting at his desk, his brow furrowed as he reviewed the memorials concerning the pursuit and killing of the remnants of the Cui and Lu families.

"Achoo!"

The Tang emperor sneezed loudly without warning.

He rubbed his nose, his face full of confusion.

"This is truly bizarre! I've already started cultivating immortality, how could I possibly catch a cold?"

Li Shimin had no idea that he was the most honorable emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, in another world, he has become the number one lecher, hated by everyone and infamous.

……

Above a precipitous canyon in the Origin Heaven Realm.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A dozen or so pursuers, riding on flying swords and dressed in Qingxuan Sect attire, were circling and searching in mid-air with murderous intent on their faces.

"Search carefully, everyone! The young sect leader said that the lecherous thief, carrying a seriously injured child, couldn't have gone far!"

The leader, a Foundation Establishment stage deacon, shouted loudly.

however.

He had barely finished speaking.

Without warning, a circle of silver-gray spatial ripples appeared in the void behind them.

A ghostly blue figure appeared out of thin air behind him.

"Looking for me?"

A soft, teasing laugh echoed in his ear.

The deacon's hair stood on end, and he turned around abruptly.

What came into view was a fist crackling with violent purple-gold lightning.

"boom!"

Li Chen threw a punch.

The steward, who was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, didn't even have time to scream before he and the flying sword beneath his feet exploded into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air!

"Enemy attack!"

The remaining dozen or so pursuers were terrified.

But Li Chen didn't give them a chance to form a formation.

In the spiritually rich Origin Heaven Realm, Li Chen completely let loose and embraced his true self.

He was like a wolf among sheep.

Spatial teleportation was activated in quick succession, each flash accompanied by a violent thunderous roar.

"Crack! Boom!"

In just a dozen or so breaths.

A horrific rain of dismembered limbs and blood fell from the sky above the canyon.

Li Chen clapped his hands, looked at the mutilated corpses on the ground, and a bloodthirsty sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Chasing me down?"

"Today, I'll show your Qingxuan Sect just how terrifying the wrath of Emperor Li Shimin of the Great Tang Dynasty truly is!"
