Chapter 1715 From the Perspective of the Underclass
However, since someone had already started, Li Yanchu did not hesitate.

His face was fierce. No matter who the other party was, now was the chance to kill all the extraterrestrial immortals on the ship!

A terrifying killing intent immediately spread out, and sharp blade light burst forth from Li Yanchu's body.

An immortal being had just clashed with the blade of light when his body was suddenly shattered and his inner Dao collapsed.

Everyone was shocked, never expecting that there were two murderers hiding on the ship.

Some people immediately abandoned ship and fled, but the surrounding area was filled with primordial energy, making them extremely slow, as if they had been subjected to a slowing spell.

Li Yanchu and Shi Huang exchanged a glance, both revealing intense killing intent in their eyes. Their gazes met briefly before they looked away, continuing their separate pursuit of the remaining extraterrestrial immortals.

They returned to the ship only after killing the last extraterrestrial immortal.

The terrifying suppressive force within the primordial Qi matter made Li Yanchu feel extremely uncomfortable.

He used both fists and feet to forcefully blast open the passage.

The Stone Emperor also has a special method that allows him to travel through it.

The two returned to the ship, and the Stone Emperor gave him a deep look, saying, "You really are a traitor."

Li Yanchu raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "We're all in the same boat."

The Stone Emperor said, "I've heard that you've been challenging various Saint Kings and Dao Lords; I've long admired your name."

His gaze was intense, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Li Yanchu said, "Does Your Excellency mean you wish to seek your guidance?"

"I've had this idea for a while now," the Stone Emperor said with a smile. "But now is not the time for a friendly spar. Let's save our battle for the future."

This person made a fairly good impression on Li Yanchu; he had a certain heroic spirit.

Li Yanchu asked, "Who exactly are you?"

The Stone Emperor calmly replied, "He's just an ordinary immortal; who else could he be?"

Li Yanchu remained silent.

Although Shi Huang had concealed it well, he had just used the Dao of Life and Death, and Li Yanchu had also seen some clues from it.

Only those who cultivate the Great Dao of Life and Death are disciples of the Lord of the Great Dao of Life and Death.

"Could he be a disciple of the Dao Lord of Life and Death?" Li Yanchu wondered.

The Stone Emperor asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you intend to continue to the Hao Realm, or return to the outer realms?"

Li Yanchu shook his head and said, "I'm not going to Haojie."

The Stone Emperor nodded slightly, turned around, and surprisingly did not intend to go to the Hao Realm.

The two remained silent the entire way, finally leaving behind the Qi matter.

Shi Huang took out another large ship, leaped onto it, and cupped his hands towards Li Yanchu, saying, "Let us part ways here. When we meet again in the future, I hope we will not be enemies."

Li Yanchu smiled faintly.
"Hard to say."

The Stone Emperor laughed heartily, then bowed and left.

Li Yanchu and Shi Huang sailed in different directions in the Star Sea, and soon disappeared from each other's sight.

The sea of ​​stars was extremely vast. Li Yanchu looked in the direction where he disappeared, not knowing where he was going.

“Perhaps he and I are both heading to the outer realms, just taking a detour,” Li Yanchu thought to himself.

When he arrived at the ferry, he had already transformed into the appearance of a strange person.

When a guard stepped forward to inquire, Li Yanchu's face darkened, and a halo of reincarnation appeared behind his head. He said, "What are you asking! What level are you? Don't pry into the affairs of the Reincarnation Dao Lord!"

Li Yanchu glared, his murderous intent palpable, which frightened the guard into retreating hastily, not daring to meet his gaze. Li Yanchu then strode away.

The guard shrank back, thinking to himself, "This distinguished guest must have just arrived in the vast universe and returned from the sea of ​​stars, hence his anger. I must understand."

He dared not ask any more questions.

The management of the ferry crossing has become much lax. Several Holy Kings have been killed one after another, and the newly appointed Holy King has slightly weaker control, leading to some chaos for a time.

Furthermore, Li Yanchu's transformation of his aura using the Great Dao of Reincarnation was so realistic that he did not encounter any difficulties at the ferry crossing.

Li Yanchu wandered around several ferry crossings to inquire about information, but found that there were no boats heading to Jingjie.

He lingered near the ferry crossing, performing Taoist magic while keeping an eye on the people coming and going, trying to gather information.

Three years passed without any further developments, and Li Yanchu finally felt a little relieved.

For the past three years, all I've heard is news about the Hao Realm. Powerful beings from beyond the realm have invaded the Hao Realm, and so far, not a single one has survived.

Many people speculate that there are powerful beings in the Hao Realm, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to go there and not return alive.

Previously, after discovering the approximate location of the Jingjie, several groups of powerful individuals from outside the region were dispatched to explore the area, but there has been no news of them.

However, the location of Jingjie was not completely determined, and it was not registered at the ferry crossing, which caused the delay.

Finding a universe in the vast sea of ​​stars is not easy.

The situation is different in the Hao Realm. The Hao Realm already knows the exact location, which was reported back by scouts.

Therefore, in recent years, powerful individuals from outside the Hao Realm have been flocking there in droves.

"How many immortals are there outside the realm? Including those who died at my hands, there must be two or three hundred of them, and there are still so many."

The more Li Yanchu learned about the outside world, the more wary he became of this behemoth.

To be on the safe side, Li Yanchu stayed in this place for another three years.

Three years after three years, Li Yanchu found joy in it all.

In recent years, there have only been teams heading to Haojie to explore the wilderness, not to Jingjie, since Haojie is right in front of them and easier to find.

Li Yanchu's current identity is the garrison commander of a ferry crossing outside the region. He uses the alias Chu Yan and has more than a hundred men under his command, responsible for checking the entry and exit of people at the ferry crossing.

He did quite well at the ferry crossing thanks to his outstanding martial arts skills.

He usually resolves minor conflicts among his subordinates with force, which has earned him a reputation for his bravery.

However, he didn't try to stand out too much and remained relatively low-key overall.

At this moment, he was talking with another garrison commander, Lao Chai.

Old Chai was a robust man, covered in numerous scars.

After he ascended to heaven, he had no resources and could only honestly mine. Later, through unremitting efforts, he finally became a garrison commander.

This experience is similar to that of Lin Yuan; many ferry guards have similar backgrounds.

When Li Yanchu first arrived, Lao Chai tried to provoke him, but after being beaten up by Li Yanchu, he became obedient and came to apologize after a long time.

His eyes clearly showed he was terrified of being beaten, so Li Yanchu didn't bother arguing with him.

He quickly became close with the garrison commanders at the ferry crossing, and much of the information he had gathered over the years came from them.

There are many people above these low-ranking soldiers, many of whom are people with connections.

Marginalized individuals like them can only honestly endure hardship, struggling to gain experience and hoping that one day they will suddenly rise to prominence.

In reality, even those with powerful connections and resources need millions or even tens of millions of years to attain enlightenment.

They would work themselves to death at the ferry crossing and never have a chance to get ahead.

Wherever there are people, there is a social dynamic, and within that dynamic, there are also small groups.

Li Yanchu mingled with them.

He possesses a wild and untamed spirit, which can also be described as a chivalrous air, making it easy for him to make friends with others.

Li Yanchu said, "Haojie has still not been conquered in the past few years. It seems that it will not be easy for the Holy Domain to conquer other universes."

Old Chai laughed and said, "The Five Great Dao Lords haven't made a move yet, and those prominent Dao Lords haven't gone either. It's still early; this is just the prelude."

Li Yanchu asked, "But many immortals have already died, why haven't they set off yet?" Old Chai replied, "Most of the dead were immortals from underground, very few from the surface, and even fewer from the Great Luo Heaven."

"The Holy Domain can release some slots to allow the geniuses of the Great Thousand Universe to ascend."

"In this way, we can both replenish our personnel and win over the vast universe. How could this possibly damage the strength of the Holy Domain?"

Li Yanchu sighed, "A group of people died, and some people were promoted to fill the original positions. There is really no loss."

Old Chai nodded.

Li Yanchu suddenly asked, "Are the rulers outside the borders really not afraid that these people will unite and rebel against them?"

Old Chai chuckled to himself.

"How could that be? Who doesn't take pride in becoming a member of the Holy Race?"

"After ascending, they fought fiercely among themselves, openly and secretly, so they had no time to rebel against the Holy Domain."

"Furthermore, the Five Great Dao Lords are not just for show. If you really rebel, a single finger from one of them can crush you to death."

He had never considered such a thing. The Holy Land was a place with a strict hierarchy, and climbing up was already extremely difficult.
How dare they even think of overthrowing this order!

Li Yanchu neither confirmed nor denied.

Although Lao Chai was just a minor garrison commander, his words revealed a great deal.

"The conflict between the new and old Holy Races in the Great Luo Heaven, on the ground and underground, is so intense that it will inevitably erupt sooner or later."

"However... it's not the right time yet."

Li Yanchu has a different opinion on this.

Unfair distribution of resources, rigid class divisions, and increasingly acute contradictions will inevitably lead to a major outbreak sooner or later.

"Perhaps the real overthrow of this enormous power will begin from within it in the future."

Extraordinary power brought about exceptional stability, resulting in a stable reign that lasted for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years.

But the universe is subject to formation, existence, decay, and destruction; it will eventually decline after reaching its peak and eventually perish.

"Even if I cultivate to the level of a Great Dao Lord, I still cannot overthrow this behemoth."

"But... what if it reaches the Dao Lord level?"

An unusual glint appeared in Li Yanchu's eyes.

Old Chai had no idea that this young man, who had become one of the group as soon as he arrived, harbored such a burning and enormous ambition.

Even if he did find out, he would just smile indifferently.

There are countless geniuses from beyond the borders.

Which one of them isn't a person of extraordinary talent, great perseverance, and great fortune?

But as time goes by, they will gradually fade into obscurity.

Want to get ahead.
Difficult!

Another year has passed, and Li Yanchu has been guarding the ferry crossing for seven years.

On this day, he suddenly had a premonition and decided not to stay here any longer. He cut Chu Yan out as his Dao body, which could also be considered as planting a spy at the ferry crossing outside the realm.

This is a manifestation of his reincarnation method reaching a certain level.

The previous killing of the four Void Emperors was done using the same method.

However, the Void Emperor was separated from him by a star sea, so many messages could not be transmitted.

Li Yanchu then left the ferry and went to Da Luo Tian to challenge Gu Yan Daojun.

He had been preparing for this battle for seven years.

Only by challenging the Ancient Daoist Master can his reincarnation techniques reach a higher level.

In order to challenge the Great Dao Lord next.

However, when Li Yan first arrived at the Great Luo Heaven, he could not find any trace of Daoist Gu Yan.

The young Taoist was terrified when he saw Li Yanchu, such a fierce person.

Li Yanchu asked, "Where did Daoist Gu Yan go in the Great Luo Heaven, and when will he return?"

Seeing Li Yanchu's fierce expression, the young Daoist trembled and honestly said, "Daoist Lord has gone to Hao Realm."

Li Yanchu frowned slightly.

He did not see Gu Yan Dao Jun's boat at the ferry crossing.

Li Yanchu said fiercely, "You're lying. How come I haven't heard of this?"

His eyes widened, revealing a murderous aura that the young Daoist boy could not withstand. His knees buckled, and he nearly collapsed to the ground. He said, "Disciples of the Samsara Sect went to the Hao Realm to explore the wilderness and guided the Dao Lord there through a ritual."

There are only two ways to travel to the vast universe.
One option is to honestly go to the ferry terminal and take a boat.

Another method is to open a special passage through sacrificial rites to guide the spirits there.

"No wonder I didn't find any of the ancient ships."

Li Yanchu's heart stirred, and he glanced at the young Taoist again.

"In that case, which other powerful figure remains in the Samsara Sect? I will go and challenge him."

The young Taoist was pale. Under the shadow of Li Yanchu's killing intent, he could hardly remain calm and replied, "The entire Samsara Sect has gone out to explore the Hao Realm."

Li Yanchu was surprised.
Such a grand display.

The young Taoist was terrified and continued, "Only the Great Dao Lord is still here."

Li Yanchu's face darkened: "Are you encouraging me to challenge the Great Dao Lord of Reincarnation, or are you mocking me for not daring to go?"

"Ah, this..." The young Taoist was so frightened that he was about to cry. He quickly said, "No, no, I was just telling the truth."

When Li Yan first saw him like this, she secretly shook her head, but smiled broadly.

"Are you out of your mind? How could you tell such important news to an outsider like me? If others knew, would you even be alive?"

“…………………” Daoist boy.

He was so intimidated by the murderous aura that he unconsciously told the truth.

Li Yanchu cultivated and proved his Dao through killing, and many Dao Lords and Immortals died under his command. How could a mere Dao Boy bear such a loss?
Upon hearing Li Yanchu's words, the young Taoist's face turned extremely pale, and sorrow welled up within him.
"me……"

He didn't know how to express his feelings at that moment; he was filled with fear and anxiety.

Li Yanchu tempted, "What's the point of being a Taoist acolyte here? Why not go to the mortal world and live a carefree life, becoming a king and a tyrant?"

Then he gently patted the young Taoist boy on the shoulder.

Having learned so much, he unusually refrained from killing the young Taoist and let him go.

The young Taoist priest was so slapped that his body went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Long after Li Yanchu left, the influence of that murderous aura gradually faded, and the young Taoist boy was filled with regret.

"Why did you tell the truth? If the master finds out when he gets back, will he let me off the hook?"

The young Taoist priest changed his mind and went back to pack his bags before descending to the mortal realm.

"I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. I have no future here in the Great Luo Heaven, so I might as well go to the mortal world and live a carefree life."

He actually listened to Li Yanchu's words and fled to the mortal realm beyond the realm.

.........

After descending from the Great Luo Heaven, Li Yanchu went straight to the ferry and immediately boarded a boat to head to the Hao Realm.

"The Samsara Sect has mobilized all its forces, and other forces have likely sent many as well. I wonder what the situation is like in the Hao Realm?"
