Chapter 395: My Lord, do you take me for a fool? (Seeking subscriptions, seeking monthly

~9 min read 1,666 words

When the group arrived at the waterfall deep in the cave, Yu Jing introduced respectfully: "Emperor, this waterfall hides mysteries. When approaching, you will feel a repulsive force. The closer you are, the stronger the repulsive force. The person named Jun said back then that you need specific treasures to offset the repulsive force, or higher-level magic treasures to enter."

She carefully hid Jun Wuhui's name, "Look at the back of the water curtain, it seems there is another cave."

Luo Xi looked at the waterfall thoughtfully.

This must be related to her biological father. Perhaps she should go back and find the token left by her father first?

After all, she couldn't break through that invisible barrier when she tried last time.

However, before she could speak, Li Chen had already stepped forward.

What shocked the two was that the repulsive barrier that had sent countless strong men back was like nothing in front of him.

The water curtain separated automatically, and not even a corner of his clothes was wet.

"This..." Luo Xi and Yu Jing looked at each other. Could their judgment be wrong?

The two tried to walk forward, but were pushed away by a terrifying force when they were ten zhang away from the waterfall.

Yu Jing staggered back a few steps, almost falling.

Not long after, Li Chen walked out calmly holding something.

It was a crystal-clear white ruler, with chaotic mist flowing on the surface. The material was neither gold nor jade, and even Li Chen, who was well-informed, had never seen it.

But when he took it, system letters that only Li Chen could see appeared on it.

【Hun Tian Ruler: An innate supreme treasure condensed from Hongmeng Purple Qi when chaos first opened. It can measure heaven and earth, divide clear and turbid, one ruler determines the universe, one thought breaks yin and yang.】

【Grade: Immortal Treasure.】

The moment the system prompt appeared, a strange look flashed in Li Chen's eyes.

This seemingly simple ruler was actually a chaotic supreme treasure born when heaven and earth opened!

Li Chen played with it in his hand for a while, then injected a trace of spiritual energy into the Hun Tian Ruler.

As spiritual energy was injected into the Hun Tian Ruler, the simple white ruler body immediately flashed with white light like stars, and the murderous aura continuously surged from the ruler body, outlining corpses and blood seas that made people feel like they were on the scene.

Yu Jing and Luo Xi were both snow-white in the face. Those broken corpses with exposed white bones all radiated a pressure they couldn't reach. Just looking at them made their pupils ache, as if ants were looking up at the golden dragon soaring in the nine heavens. They couldn't imagine what kind of glory the Hun Tian Ruler in Li Chen's hand had experienced.

"It's yours."

Li Chen withdrew the spiritual energy injected into the Hun Tian Ruler and threw it to Luo Xi like trash.

It was an Immortal Treasure, correct, but the murderous aura in it was too heavy. If used as a life-bound magic treasure, it would easily be swayed by the evil spirit. 【395-2

Even if the May Tian Ce Dynasty didn't have one, Li Chen felt that the items he refined casually were more terrifying than immortal artifacts. To Li Chen, the Heaven-Measuring Ruler was quite mediocre; returning the immortal artifact to Luo Xi's father could be considered returning it to its rightful owner.

Luo Xi scrambled to catch the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, and in disbelief, she pointed to her own nose and said, "For me?"

Li Chen nodded and said indifferently, "It is of no use to me."

Luo Xi's cheeks flushed slightly. She thought that by following Li Chen, she could unlock the restrictions on her body, obtain satisfaction that other women could not, and even get an immortal artifact. When she went back, she would definitely have to pull her aunt and mother along to express their gratitude!

Yu Jing watched everything unfold and couldn't help but swallow hard. She was different from Luo Xi, who could not cultivate. Having spent decades rolling and crawling in the pugilistic world, she understood better than anyone what the appearance of an immortal artifact represented.

Never mind regional divisions; even if the powerhouses of other nations outside the May Tian Ce Dynasty received the news, they would come and break their skulls for it. Yet, this young man of noble status was throwing it to someone else as if it were trash?

Neither the Jun Wuhui of the past nor the Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian of the present could possibly have such boldness.

Back then, when she and a group of sisters followed Jun Wuhui, they could at most eat leftovers. Immortal artifacts? Don't even mention immortal artifacts; even treasures below that level, Jun Wuhui would keep for a rainy day.

If it were in the past, she would certainly have no complaints about this. After all, those things were leftovers to Jun Wuhui, but to them, they were still a rare stroke of fortune. But now that there was a comparison, there was hurt!

Earlier, she was distressed about not being able to find a prodigy half as excellent as Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian. Now, with the appearance of Li Chen, he was not just ten times more excellent than Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian; it was probably a hundred times.

Whether it was status, temperament, or even his attitude toward his followers, he had left the Jun father and son in the dust by several streets!

Now, Yu Jing only needed to clarify one thing: whether Li Chen, like the Jun father and son, only sought the Great Dao. As a mother, she did not want her daughter to be unable to experience the joys of being a woman for the rest of her life!

As Yu Jing thought this, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Li Chen was that of a mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law—the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

Afterward, the group explored the cave casually two more times. Although there were some treasures and cultivation resources inside, to Li Chen, who enjoyed the resources of the entire May Tian Ce Empire, they were all nothing but trash, so he simply let Luo Xi and Yu Jing take them for themselves.

Li Chen, having lost interest, wanted to leave, but Yu Jing invited him to the Qiushui Villa with a face full of smiles.

In the cave, Li Chen had noticed Yu Jing's habit of smiling foolishly at him. Since he had nothing better to do, he agreed.

One hundred miles away, at a certain mystical realm.

A mysterious powerhouse in black robes sat cross-legged on a prayer mat. He suddenly opened his eyes, as if wanting to see through the entire mystical realm.

"Who! Who dares to trespass into my clan's forbidden ground!"

The middle-aged man's voice was not loud, but the entire mystical realm began to tremble following his words, as if this middle-aged man were the master who controlled everything.

Before the voice had faded, the middle-aged man had already disappeared from the spot, leaving only the soft prayer mat slowly bulging, returning to its original shape.

At the same time, outside the mysterious waterfall.

Not long after Li Chen left, two more people appeared.

After the competition ended, Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian's father, Jun Wuhui, felt that this level of difficulty was not enough to make his son feel pressure.

He figured winning the championship was only a matter of time, so he intended to bring Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian to test the repulsion of this barrier, to see how many areas his son could step into and whether he was stronger than he himself had been in the past.

Furthermore, he already had an item in his hand capable of dealing with the repulsion, called the Return-to-Heaven Bracelet, which he would activate when the time came.

Jun Wuhui could sense that there were definitely immortal artifacts inside, and he was determined to get his hands on them.

Before coming here, Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian thought, what kind of pressure could there be?

As he stepped deeper, the repulsion of the barrier became increasingly intense. Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian broke out in a cold sweat with almost every step he took.

Jun Wuhui had long sensed that Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian could no longer hold on, but seeing him still persisting, he nodded in satisfaction and casually bestowed a blue light.

"That's enough. You have reached the limit of what others can do here."

This sentence was quite pretentious; it was the limit for others, and about the same as what he had achieved back then.

Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian felt his whole body relax and began to pant heavily.

"Who are you people, daring to steal my clan's immortal artifact!"

A sharp shout rang out outside the cave, followed by a pressure that swept through the entire cave, forcing the weak Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian to his knees.

"Hmph."

Jun Wuhui let out a cold snort, his robes billowing as a terrifying aura spread to contend with that pressure.

In an instant, a wild wind howled inside the cave, and gravel flew everywhere.

"Hand over the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, and I will not pursue this matter with you."

A black-robed figure appeared before the father and son in the blink of an eye. The aura he emitted was extremely terrifying, vaguely on par with Jun Wuhui's.

Jun Wuhui raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "I just entered, and I didn't get it."

The nameless powerhouse glanced at the mysterious bracelet on Jun Wuhui's hand that was resisting the repulsion—it was clearly prepared in advance—and said with murderous intent in his eyes, "Do you take me for a fool?"
