He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 221 Entering a New World (First Update)

Inside the wardrobe at home.

Li Chuan is getting used to the Perfect Extremis virus he was injected with at the Sokovia base yesterday.

The first test was of strength. After being injected with the Perfect Extinction Virus, his physical strength rose to another level. Although it was not as strong as his previous second transformation, it was not far off.

In other words, even without changing into his second form, his physical strength and the amount of chakra within him are already close to his previous transformed state.

If one transforms into the second form, then naturally one's power and chakra will be stronger and greater than before.

Secondly, there's the unique high temperature and flame of the Extremis virus. Because his Extremis virus is the perfect version, its effects are even more powerful than Killian's.

With a thought, his entire body surface not only radiates high temperatures, but flames even erupt directly, somewhat resembling the Man of Fire from the Fantastic Four in the Marvel Universe.

Moreover, the flame temperature is very high, causing considerable damage.

He can also attack by spewing flames from his mouth, which is faster than ninjutsu and magic.

However, in terms of power, it is still not as powerful as advanced fire-style ninjutsu.

Through experiments, he also discovered that high temperatures and flames do not consume nothing; in essence, they also consume physical energy, including the last bit of healing ability, which also consumes physical energy.

Chakra is a product of the combination of physical and mental energy, while the high-temperature flames and healing abilities inherent in the Extremis Virus consume physical energy alone.

Therefore, it's hard to say which one is more effortless and convenient.

Anyway, he felt that if he needed fire for daily life, such as lighting a cigarette or starting a fire, or dealing with some minor enemies, the fire that the Extremis virus provided was more convenient.

For example, he can extend a finger and fire will come out of it, making it much more convenient to light a cigarette than to use a wand and hand seals to release fire.

If you're really dealing with a powerful enemy, then magic and ninjutsu are more practical, as their attack power and range are incomparable.

Finally, regarding his healing ability, it's possible that because he already possessed the Super Soldier Serum and Hulk genes, combined with a perfect version of the Extremis Virus, his healing ability is much stronger than Killian's.

He was so powerful that his instincts told him that as long as his head wasn't destroyed, any other part of his body could grow back.

In other words, even if his head is cut off, as long as the head is still there, the body below can slowly grow back from the neck, just much slower than the limbs.

While he might not be as good as Hidan from the immortal duo, Li Chuan was already quite satisfied with his performance.

Orochimaru's molting and substitution techniques, his body's healing abilities, combined with his Apparition and teleportation scrolls, finally give him the confidence to venture into the world of "The Legend of Shushan".

Li Chuan opened the panel, swallowed the small box containing all the supplies he had prepared, and then flipped to the Small World section.

"The Legend of Shushan: Initial entry time is twelve months, with an additional thirty-six months in the smaller worlds. Do you wish to enter?"

Indeed, after nine months of hard work, he earned a total of three years of small world time by completing various side quests, plus the year given when the small world was opened.

He now has four years to explore this new world.

Because this time he's been gone for four years, he really wore Wanda out yesterday, and she's still not fully awake.

"Enter!"

Pressing the enter button immediately changed the scene in front of Li Chuan. Then, as before, a bunch of memories flashed through his mind like a slideshow.

When Li Chuan opened his eyes again, he had a general understanding of the world he was in and his own identity.

Compared to the few words mentioned in the movie "The Legend of Zu Mountain", the memories in this identity are obviously much more detailed.

This world is mainly divided into four camps. One is the mortal camp, just like the mortals in ancient times. They are born, grow old, get sick and die, and generally do not live past a hundred years old. What they pursue is wealth and glory.

Some of these skilled martial artists can scale walls and leap across rooftops, but they are still mortal beings.

Besides mortals, there is another group of cultivators in the world who pursue immortality, becoming immortals, and ascending to heaven. They gather in famous mountains and rivers rich in spiritual energy, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate the art of immortality.

This group is mainly divided into three camps: the righteous path led by Mount Shu and Mount Emei, the demonic path led by the Blood Demon of the Netherworld, and the unorthodox sects scattered around the world.

The righteous path absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, spending most of their time diligently practicing in their respective mountain gates, while occasionally venturing out to slay demons and monsters.

Basically, due to their cultivation methods and philosophies, they are all kind-hearted people with righteous intentions. Only a few are rather pedantic, and there are very few malicious people, unlike the hypocritical righteous characters in many stories.

The demonic path also absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but in order to accelerate cultivation and increase strength, it often does evil things, such as killing mortals to steal their souls and refine their spirits, and absorbing their blood and flesh.

The cultivation methods are evil, the spells are evil, the magical artifacts are evil; basically, there are hardly any good people among them.

Finally, there are those who follow unorthodox paths. These people are neither entirely righteous nor entirely evil. Most of them are from a single lineage and do not have a fixed sect or location. They cultivate while traveling in the mortal world, and most of them are quite powerful.

Nowadays, the demonic path is rampant. Four hundred and ninety-seven years ago, the powerful Youquan Blood Demon led his disciples to destroy the Huashan Sect, which was second only to Emei. Two hundred and ninety-seven years ago, he also destroyed Kunlun.

Of the four most powerful righteous sects, only the Emei Sect and Mount Wutai remain today.

The young Taoist priest named Li Qingfeng, whom Li Chuan is now replacing, is a formal disciple of Xiaozhushan, a very small orthodox sect in the Shushan Mountains.

Li Qingfeng was originally a village child whose parents were farmers. When he was eight years old, he met an old Taoist priest with white hair and eyebrows while playing in the mud with his friends at the east entrance of the village.

The old Taoist priest immediately recognized his exceptional talent for cultivation and took him as a disciple, leading him into the mountains to practice.

His parents initially disagreed, but the old Taoist priest demonstrated some of his magic and left behind a considerable amount of wealth, which successfully persuaded the two unsophisticated farmers.

In addition, Li Qingfeng is the third child in his family, with two older brothers and a younger sister, so losing one wouldn't be a big deal.

After twelve years of cultivation, Li Qingfeng had made some progress in his Taoist arts and wanted to go down the mountain to see his parents, since they would soon pass away if he didn't go down soon.

The true path of spiritual practice emphasizes not only self-cultivation but also mind cultivation, so I obtained my master's permission to go down the mountain this time.

However, upon arriving back in his hometown, he discovered that his village had been massacred. If it were due to war or something similar, he, as a righteous person, would feel grief but also accept it.

But that's clearly not the case, because the souls of everyone in the village have all disappeared.

Therefore, it must be either an evil path or the work of demons.
