Poverty

Chapter 1822 Entering the Great Luo Heaven

It was only at this moment that Master Chen realized Li Yanchu's true level of cultivation.

His expression was quite solemn.

Finally, the ruler from beyond the realm looked at the other two rulers and said in a deep voice, "You two have been observing for so long, don't you intend to join forces with me to eliminate him together?"

The leader of the Taoist sect pursed his lips and remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Upon seeing this, Master Chen's heart sank.

Then, Master Shi said directly, "Li Yanchu was not qualified to be our fellow Daoist before, but now he is, and we should accept him. As a representative of the new Holy Clan, he should have a place in the Holy Domain."

Master Chen said angrily, "Master Shi, I have long seen through your collusion with him. He is probably being supported by you behind the scenes!"

Master Shi didn't show any particular expression; he simply smiled and said, "My Holy Domain is all-encompassing, like the ocean embracing all rivers, capable of containing the entire universe. Why can't it contain Li Yanchu?"

Master Chen said, "Don't forget the prophecy of the Chaos Cave."

The Stone Dao Master said, "If the Chaos Cave is really that powerful, the remaining tribulations of the Holy Domain should have been resolved by now. Why go through all this trouble?"

Master Chen was surprised, and then he realized that the mastermind behind it all was indeed Master Shi!
Even now, he has publicly expressed his support, and the leader of Guandao's attitude is so ambiguous.

Master Chen said, "Master Guan, is that what you mean too?"

The Dao Master said, "All I know is that if you continue fighting like this, the Holy Domain will be destroyed. The Mother Tree can't protect us for long; once it reaches its limit..."

Master Chen was startled.

He had previously overlooked this point. Despite their combined strength—having fought Li Yanchu for dozens of days, their continent remained untouched.
The damage caused was far less than when Jing Qing fought against the heroes, all thanks to the secret support of the Guandao Master.

At this moment, Master Chen's expression shifted between light and dark. He suddenly stopped, leaped backward to avoid Li Yanchu, and said, "As long as he no longer harbors evil intentions and plans to overthrow the Holy Domain, I can accept him as our fellow Daoist."

Upon seeing this, the Great Celestial Venerable frowned. If Li Yanchu joined forces with the three Dao Lords, he would likely face immense difficulties in the foreign realm.

Li Yanchu's Dao-Slaying Divine Power and his previous combat prowess were already enough to make people wary.

The two overseas envoys had different expressions at this moment. Chen Sui had an appreciative look in his eyes and thought to himself, "Li Yanchu was able to get to this point through his own comprehension. His talent is something that would be valued even in the Dao Domain."

Yu Shu's expression was rather unpleasant, revealing undisguised jealousy and murderous intent.

Everyone looked at Li Yanchu, curious about what decision he would make.

When Li Yan first saw that Master Chen had stopped fighting, he immediately withdrew his supernatural powers, acting as if nothing had happened. He showed no signs of being unreasonable and appeared to be a gentle and refined gentleman.

Li Yanchu laughed and said, "We're just having a friendly spar; there's no need to fight to the death."

Master Chen forced an ugly smile and said, "Not bad."

Li Yanchu said, "I was once the Lord of the Great Dao of Slaughter, and I have extremely deep feelings for the Holy Domain. How could I rebel against myself?"

Master Chen glared angrily, thinking to himself, "Bullshit! One powerful figure after another in the Great Luo Heaven has been killed, and Li Yanchu is definitely involved. Yet here he is, talking so eloquently."

Master Shi smiled and said, "Let's not dwell on the misunderstandings of the past. Now, we'll accept you as our fellow Daoist and rule the Holy Domain together. How about it?"

Li Yanchu smiled slightly and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking too. But fellow Daoists, please don't be stingy and just leave me with an empty seat."

Master Shi laughed and said, "Of course. If there's only an empty reputation without any substance, wouldn't that be deceiving people?"

Li Yanchu smiled and thought to himself, "I didn't have many resources when I was a Dao Lord."

However, Li Yanchu didn't show it on his face; he just smiled.

Today, it's difficult to determine life or death between us and Master Chen, mainly because the timing isn't right.

If the three Dao Lords joined forces, Li Yanchu would have no choice but to retreat. With the foreign envoy and the Great Celestial Venerable also watching with predatory eyes, Li Yanchu did not act rashly.

Today's battle with Master Chen has already benefited him greatly, and will be of great help in perfecting his Taoist techniques and improving his cultivation.

For him, time is the most important thing!
The swiftness of the turn of events, which led to the cessation of hostilities, surprised both the Great Celestial Venerable and the two Dao Domain envoys.
Looking at Li Yanchu's warm smile, the Great Celestial Venerable thought to himself, "He has matured compared to before, but he has also become increasingly dangerous."

Li Yanchu was decisive and ruthless, with a strong personality.

Just because Hongjie killed Jingjie's immortal, he became irreconcilably opposed to Hongjie, until he killed all of Hongjie's powerful subordinates.

Although the Great Celestial Venerable and Li Yanchu did not have much contact, he could still see Li Yanchu's strong character.

At this moment, Li Yanchu's ability to shake hands and make peace with the three Dao Masters is even more commendable than his previous relentless killing.

Chen Sui watched from the side and said with a smile, "Li Yanchu's magnanimity is far beyond that of ordinary people. I never thought there would be such a hero in this foreign land."

Yu Shu snorted coldly. The more Chen Sui praised Li Yanchu, the stronger his hatred for Li Yanchu became.

Yu Shu said, "He's just someone from a small place; he's nothing special in the Dao Domain."

Chen Sui said, "Although his cultivation level is not top-notch in the Dao Domain, how many people have cultivated to the ninth level of the Innate Realm? Isn't that a great talent? If we can bring him back, our master will be very happy."

Yu Shu said in a deep voice, "You need to think this through, junior sister. This kind of person has no sense of awe, is unruly, and will fight back against injustice, even at the cost of his life. Keeping him around will only become a hidden danger."

Chen Sui smiled slightly and said, "As the saying goes, the final judgment is made after the coffin is closed. Isn't it a bit premature for you to think of him like this, Senior Brother?"

Yu Shu coldly replied, "You're right, this is the final verdict."

Chen Sui smiled slightly, unconvinced.

She could see that Yu Shu was jealous of Li Yanchu. In fact, who wouldn't be jealous of Li Yanchu's talent?
However, whether or not this leads to harming others depends on one's magnanimity.

Chen Sui watched Yu Shu's behavior with indifference.

Although Yu Shu was incredibly talented, he was unfortunately too narrow-minded. He seemed carefree, but in reality, he was intolerant of others.

"Faced with injustice, he dares to resist. The Dao Domain hasn't had such a person for a long time. If he goes there, it will definitely be very exciting." Chen Sui thought to himself as he considered these things.

Although the woman admired Li Yanchu to some extent, she couldn't say she loved or liked him.

A woman like her has very little feeling for love and affection.

Yu Shu's reluctance to send Li Yanchu to the Dao Domain stemmed from ill intentions, but Chen Sui's insistence on Li Yanchu's departure was not entirely benevolent either.

Li Yanchu was unaware that the two Dao Domain envoys had developed different thoughts about him.

Standing alongside the three Dao Masters, his aura was in no way inferior. Dao Master Chen said, "Now that you have become our fellow Daoist, shouldn't you return my two hundred-odd innate spiritual treasures to me?"

Li Yanchu said, "To be honest, we people from small places are quite concerned about our reputation. If we lose a magic weapon to someone in battle, we will never ask for it back."

Master Chen's expression changed, and he was about to lash out when Li Yanchu said with a smile, "Chen Yu, don't misunderstand. I'm not saying you're shameless. What I mean is that people from small places like us are afraid of poverty and don't have that kind of habit. You won't take offense, will you?"

Master Chen turned pale with anger and said coldly, "I really want to see what kind of place it is that raised you and gave birth to you."

The threat was self-evident.

Li Yanchu said with a smile, "I can take you there sometime. Little Chen, we have auspicious burial sites in our area. If you're buried there after you die, it will bring blessings to your descendants. I can pick a good, spacious place for you then."

Master Chen's face grew increasingly grim, and he roared, "Li Yanchu, do you think I'm someone you can bully?"

Li Yanchu quickly waved his hand and said, "How could that be? Land is extremely valuable in my hometown, and even burial resources are very scarce. Yet I'm willing to share mine. How could you misunderstand me like that, Xiao Chen?"

Ever since Master Chen threatened Li Yanchu to go to the Jing Realm, Li Yanchu has been referring to Master Chen as "Little Chen," which greatly angered Master Chen.

At this moment, the Dao Master stepped in to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "You two don't need to be so stubborn. Let's put aside the matter of the spiritual treasure for now and go to the Great Luo Heaven together to discuss it. The calamity is imminent, and Fellow Daoist Li, who controls the calamity, should be able to come up with a way to alleviate it."

Master Chen's eyes narrowed. If Master Shi were to step in to smooth things over, it would only add fuel to the fire.

However, Guan Daozhu was different. Although Guan Daozhu's attitude was ambiguous just now, he still had some respect for Guan Daozhu.

When the Master of Guandao brought up the matter of the calamity, Master Chen also suppressed his anger.

Li Yan first cultivated the ability to overcome calamities, and even more so, the ability to kill and annihilate. If such a person were kept in the foreign land to serve them, it might actually be possible to resolve their calamities.

Master Chen couldn't help but admire Master Guan's foresight.

Master Chen suppressed his anger and remained silent.

Master Shi said with a smile, "Let's go to the Great Luo Heaven first, so we can catch up and talk about important matters."

Li Yanchu chatted and laughed with the three of them as they headed towards Da Luo Tian.

He didn't have a carriage, but sat in one with Daoist Shi. Daoist Shi's carriage was very spacious and luxurious, and Li Yanchu found it quite interesting to sit in it.

Previously, he was a wanted criminal hunted by the entire alien realm, and he also had a group of rebels under his command.

Although they were vicious and ruthless, they had at least followed him on his campaigns, both north and south.

But in a short while, his traitors turned against him, and the one who instigated them to turn against him became his ally.

He smiled at Master Shi.

"Lord Shi's carriage is quite spacious."

Master Shi smiled and said, "I enjoy life, I like fine wine and beautiful women, unlike Chen Yu, whose mind is only focused on cultivation. He's mentally ill, you don't need to bother with him."

Li Yanchu laughed and said, "How could that be? If a dog bites you on the street, are you going to bite it back?"

Master Shi laughed and said, "That sounds interesting, it's a dialect from your hometown!"

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "They're just common sayings, nothing to worry about."

Master Shi said, "Things have changed. In the blink of an eye, we have joined hands and turned enemies into friends. It is truly moving."

Li Yanchu said, "That's right. There was no life-or-death feud to begin with, so why be so confrontational? When we reach our level, we transcend calamities and are no longer in annihilation; that is true freedom."

Master Shi's body trembled, and he said with an admiring expression, "What a wonderful statement to escape the calamity and not be in annihilation. I hope that day will truly come."

He had always been very dissatisfied that the Great Dao Master realm was still in the midst of the Great Calamity of Annihilation.

It's laughable that even the Lord of the Great Dao couldn't escape annihilation.

He has been seeking a way to escape the great catastrophe of annihilation.

Upon hearing Li Yanchu's words, he found Li Yanchu even more pleasing to the eye.

The two had a rather complicated relationship, yet they were having a pleasant conversation.

The three precious chariots flew towards the Great Luo Heaven at the same time and soon arrived there.

All the heavens of the Great Luo Heaven were now closed. The immortal Dao Lords were too frightened to go out, fearing that they would face calamity. They also restrained their disciples from going down the mountain.

Of course, some of the killings were also caused by the previous disappearances or deaths of people.

At this moment, several powerful auras swept over. Although everyone was in seclusion, they looked up at the sky and saw that the three precious chariots had landed at the highest point of the Great Luo Heaven.

Two people alighted from one of the precious carriages. One of them was the high and mighty Lord Shi, who had ruled this foreign land for 130 million years.
The other one was also familiar to them; he was none other than Li Yanchu, the most famous rebel in the history of the outer realms, who was ordered to be hunted down by the three Dao Lords!
Everyone was somewhat astonished upon seeing this.

To them, Li Yanchu was a legendary figure.
Although some of them came from the Great Qing Universe to this other world, Li Yanchu's reputation had already spread far and wide.

His various legends were passed down by word of mouth: challenging the immortals of the Great Luo Heaven, defeating all the strong, and cultivating all the way to become a Dao Lord.
He defeated the five Great Dao Lords in succession, becoming the only Great Dao Lord of the New Holy Race in history, and the youngest Great Dao Lord!

Later, he was pursued for rebelling but was not afraid. He killed all the strong and became the youngest Dao Lord in history!
Later, the world fell into chaos, and the Dao Lords of ancient times appeared one after another.

However, many reports indicate that Li Yanchu led more than ten Dao Lords in the Great Wilderness, making those old Saint Clan members, especially the most unruly and domineering old Saint Clan members from ancient times, respectfully acknowledge Li Yanchu as their leader.

The mere thought of Li Yanchu ignites the passion of the new Holy Clan.

When Li Yanchu appeared, it immediately caused a tremor in the Great Luo Heaven, with powerful figures from all the heavens exclaiming in surprise.

…………

Soon, everyone was astonished to discover that Li Yanchu had become a Dao Lord on par with the three Dao Lords, sitting on equal footing.

His palace was created from the void, and he rebuilt the Dragon and Phoenix Cliff Daoist Holy Palace with great magical power, placing him on the same level as the three Daoist masters.

In comparison, if you look closely, you can see that the residences of the Dao Lords who previously entered the Great Luo Heaven were actually lower than those of the Three Great Dao Lords. This was their way of showing respect to the Three Great Dao Lords, and this difference was quickly noticeable.

Moreover, the three Dao Masters issued a decree throughout the Great Luo Heaven, publicly acknowledging Li Yanchu's identity and granting him permission to travel to the Great Thousand Universe to spread the Dao. All major matters in the Holy Domain were to be discussed by the four of them.

All of this left the crowd somewhat dazed as they listened to each and every point.

Many people had a thought: the new Holy Lord has gained a foothold in the foreign land, and now the entire Holy Realm is about to change!
Ironically, Li Yanchu killed many members of the New Saint Clan because they were ruthless and vicious in their attacks on the Yuan Universe, committing countless blood debts!
But now Li Yanchu has retaken control of the Great Luo Heaven.

He has somehow become the leader of the new Holy Race, which is subtly ironic.
