520: He's here

"Existences close to a Celestial King?!" Li Wuji murmured to himself, looking at Zhao Yujing and Wind Seven before him.

This, is indeed a good opportunity.

That Golden-Winged Great Peng is a famous Great Fiend even in the Upper Realm, and his Guardian is likely not a pure-blooded Golden-Winged Great Peng, but he definitely possesses the Bloodline of the Golden-Winged Great Peng and is also among the ranks of the Great Fiend.

How could an existence like this, upon arriving in this Realm, not devour all the Immortals here?

And at that time, it would be the perfect moment for him to act and become Lu Chen's Guardian.

As for being close to a Celestial King at his Peak, it was meaningless to him.

After all, at his Peak, he was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, an existence who failed to climb the light and shadow, far from being comparable to anything close to a Celestial King!

Including Zhao Yujing, it was the same!

"Alright!" Li Wuji agreed immediately: "If that Golden-Winged Great Peng's Guardian dares to come, I will slay him in this Realm."

...

"Mid-stage Heavenly King, it's time to prepare and forcefully open the Heavenly Gate!" Deep within the Immortal Path, Lu Chen flicked his sleeves and stood up.

With his current strength, staying in this Human Realm no longer held much meaning.

Unless he went insane and slaughtered all the Human Realm Immortals in the entire Human Realm Three Thousand Worlds.

But this was clearly not Lu Chen's style, and it held little significance.

Therefore, he had to leave the Human Realm and head to the Upper Realm.

The main reason was that even upon reaching the Upper Realm, he could protect himself and dominate a region.

Moreover, how could the resources of the Upper Realm compare to the Human Realm? With the characteristics of his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, he could achieve the rank of Quasi-Immortal Emperor in less than ten years, or even ascend the light and shadow and achieve the Immortal Emperor fruit status.

Lu Chen had this confidence, and the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin also possessed such a foundation.

This point was beyond doubt.

However, before that, Lu Chen had one last matter to attend to.

The Dongxu Immortal Mansion no longer needed his attention, because Lu Chen had previously annihilated the entire Nether Clan, God Clan, Demon Clan, as well as the Golden Crow Emperor Clan, and some smaller clans and the Demonic Path. The foundations of these great clans had all been handed over to the Dongxu Immortal Mansion by Lu Chen.

The current Dongxu Immortal Mansion was already incredibly wealthy, possessing resources and Hidden Immortal Lands in abundance. It could even cultivate a Heavenly King in the Human Realm without difficulty and no longer required Lu Chen's support.

The only thing he was still concerned about was his parents and relatives who were still Mortals.

Previously, they lacked cultivation talent, and with Lu Chen's financial and foundational resources, it was difficult to forcefully support untalented Mortals into formidable cultivation powerhouses.

But now, he possessed the foundation and such resources.

Even if they were two pigs, he could forcefully pile resources onto them until they became cultivators.

If their comprehension was insufficient, he had plenty of heavenly treasures that could temporarily boost comprehension and allow them to perceive the Dao rhyme. He even possessed the True Meaning Stele, Rule Stele, and Law Stele that were treasured by major clans and used by Heavenly Pride clansmen for enlightenment, which could be used by his relatives at any time for enlightenment.

If their talent was poor, he also had an abundance of heavenly treasures for cleansing marrow and tendons and improving Aptitude.

If their magical power cultivation was slow, he likewise had plenty of heavenly treasures for cultivating magical power.

If their Lifespan was insufficient, he also had precious medicines among the heavenly treasures that could increase Lifespan.

Furthermore, with his methods, he could even forcefully refine vast amounts of Immortal matter into his relatives and parents' bodies, extending their Lifespan by one or two thousand years without issue.

And after one or two thousand years, Lu Chen would have long since cultivated into an astonishing existence of unimaginable power.

By then, his methods would only be even more incredible.

He had everything; as long as they weren't truly stubborn stones, he could definitely use massive resources to cultivate them into decent practitioners.

No matter how great the cost, Lu Chen didn't care.

Of course, if cultivation required Spiritual Roots like in the Xianxia novels Lu Chen read in his previous life, and Mortals lacked Spiritual Roots, then Lu Chen might truly have no way to cultivate his relatives and parents into the Immortal Realm.

Unfortunately, this world was not like that.

There was no concept of Spiritual Roots.

Although he currently couldn't force those with poor Aptitude to cultivate an Immortal Embryo or numerous Dharma appearances, he definitely could in the future.

At worst, he could reshape their physical bodies, allowing his parents and relatives to possess better cultivation Aptitude.

This was currently Lu Chen's last matter in the Human Realm, and the most important one.

He had to handle it well.

With a flicker of his figure, he had already disappeared from deep within the Immortal Path, and when he reappeared, he was outside the Immortal Path.

"Hmm? There are still existences crossing Realms?!" His eyes flickered, instantly looking towards the edge of the Universe.

The current him was already a Human Realm Heavenly King, able to see the end of the Universe with a single glance and see through all illusions.

With a thought, he could also step across the four seas and eight wildernesses.

"Hmm? An unexpected pleasant surprise!" A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

What did he see!

He saw the Golden-Winged Great Peng that he had been thinking about!

That slovenly yet inherently monstrous Great Fiend from the Upper Realm.

What was even more interesting was that behind him, an extremely astonishing existence was following.

That was an aged and withered Old Man, but his entire body was shrouded in bloody, malevolent energy. He activated the Law of Causality and used the method of Severing Causality to observe.

He discovered that on this Old Man's body, there were countless causal lines representing slaughter, connecting to another Human Realm.

Those causal lines were densely packed. With Lu Chen's current attainment in causality, it was faintly visible that every causal line represented the life of a Human Realm Immortal!

This meant that the Old Man behind the Golden-Winged Great Peng had already completely slaughtered all the Human Realm Immortals in that Realm!

"What a fierce Golden-Winged Great Peng!"

No, that old fellow behind the Golden-Winged Great Peng was not a pure-blooded Golden-Winged Great Peng, but merely possessed the Bloodline of the Golden-Winged Great Peng.

With Lu Chen's eyesight, he could easily discern that this old thing, on the surface, only had the strength of a Heavenly King, but his Realm was very, very high, possibly even surpassing a Quasi-Celestial Lord. At the very least, he was an Immortal Lord.

It was just that he was currently in a weakened state, which was why his appearance was so aged and withered!

"Slaying you won't be wronging you!" Lu Chen murmured softly.

He would slay the Golden-Winged Great Peng, and he would even more so slay the old fellow behind the Golden-Winged Great Peng.

Not one of them would escape!

Immortal Lord?

Currently, in Lu Chen's Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, there were a full five Profound-tier Divine Generals whose Realms were comparable to an Immortal Lord.

Even if this old fellow truly was an Immortal Lord, he could slay him with his blade, and it would be an instant kill.

Furthermore, even if he was a Quasi-Celestial King, with the terror of the Causality Source Tracing Mirror, his causality could be severed.

Especially this fellow, who had extremely thick causal lines in both the Human Realm and the Upper Realm. Every thick causal line was enough to take his dog life.

He took a step, disappeared from before the Immortal Path, and headed straight towards the edge of the Universe.

At the same time, Zhao Yujing and Li Wuji within the Immortal Path also saw Lu Chen's departure: "Follow Lu Chen, lest he encounter that Golden-Winged Great Peng's Guardian first."

The little fatty Wind Seven didn't dare to move, but upon seeing Zhao Yujing and Li Wuji's confident demeanor, he still couldn't resist and followed.

"Damn it, Lu Chen is heading towards that Golden-Winged Great Peng's Guardian!" Li Wuji secretly thought to himself that things were bad, because just after leaving the Immortal Path, he saw Lu Chen heading towards the edge of the Universe, and also saw the young Golden-Winged Great Peng and the Golden-Winged Great Peng's Guardian.

Still, at the same moment, the young Golden-Winged Great Peng and the aged Guardian who were crossing the barrier between the two Realms stopped in their tracks.

"Indeed, in this Realm, there truly is a formidable Human Race. He is watching the Young Master and this old man!" A sharp light flashed in the aged Guardian's eyes: "How arrogant, he has come!"
