When Shui Yuncong left with his gloomy expression, Long Chen suddenly laughed, “I’m rich, I’m rich!”
Long Chen had originally been planning on trading . The only reason he had brought up so many shortcomings was to con Shui Yuncong out of more money . Guo Ran had said that he never had enough money for his use .
“You’re both a pair of old foxes,” sighed Shui Wuhen helplessly .
Previously, she had really thought Long Chen had been unwilling to trade . But now she realized that even she had been tricked by his act .
“Hehe, that old fox isn’t anything good . This Heavenly Water Pearl is something Shui Guanzhi had to have, but I also needed that World Piercing Jade Talisman . I’ve heard that the Immemorial Path is a place where the Eastern Wasteland’s peak experts will gather . It really will be very dangerous for Meng Qi!” said Long Chen .
Shui Wuhen nodded . “The danger of the Immemorial Path far surpasses that Jiuli secret realm you entered previously . That secret realm is merely a speck of dust left behind by the destruction of a world from the ancient era .
“But the Immemorial Path is a true minor world . There is a whole new set of laws there . It is rumored that the Immemorial Path possesses the foundation for a cultivator to become an immortal or god .
“Of course, the Immemorial Path has long since crumbled . It is a severed path that no one can reconnect . So no more gods or immortals ever appeared in the Martial Heaven Continent . However, the Immemorial Path is its own world, so you have to be careful . Not only do you have to be careful of the Righteous and Corrupt experts, but you have to be careful of experts from other races!”
“Other races?” asked Long Chen .
Shui Wuhen solemnly said, “Yes . The Eastern Wasteland might be a desolate place, but there are still countless sects and hundreds of races . Some of those races are even stronger than our Xuantian Dao Sect!”
“Really? They’re even stronger than the Xuantian Dao Sect?” Long Chen was shocked .

“Yes . More precisely, they’re stronger than our Eastern Wasteland’s branch sect . Our branch sect’s power is a drop in the ocean compared to the head sect in the Central Plains .
“As for those races, there are some who have inherited bloodlines from the immortal era . They rarely interact with the rest of the world . In order to keep the purity of their bloodline, they never marry outside of their race .
“There are many races, and it’s very easy to recognize them . If you can avoid it, don’t provoke them . Their clans are very protective, in addition to being domineering and unreasonable!” warned Shui Wuhen .
“As long as they don’t provoke me, I naturally won’t be so bored as to provoke them . But if they try to bully me, well, you know my temperament . If it’s bearable then I’ll bear it, but if it’s not, then there’s no way around it!” said Long Chen .
Long Chen never considered himself to be someone who provoked others . But when others provoked him, he definitely wouldn’t retreat .
The cultivation path was one where if you compromised, your enemies would continue to force you back . If you wanted dignity, then you had to reveal your fangs to show others that you weren’t prey .
“Those races possess ancient bloodlines, and they inherit special abilities . You have to be careful about them . However, it’s not the Righteous path, the Corrupt path, or those races that are the most terrifying . The most terrifying ones are the aboriginals of the Immortal Path!” Terror flashed across Shui Wuhen’s eyes .
“There are people still living there?” Long Chen was stunned .
“Yes . That place is a world that exists beside our world . It is said that those people are the earliest protectors of the Immemorial Path . But later, for some unknown reason, the Immemorial Path was destroyed and it became ownerless, becoming a separate entity from the Martial Heaven Continent .
“The Immemorial Path is said to be the foundation to becoming an immortal or god, so countless cultivators wish to explore those mysteries inside . Every thousand years, experts will forcibly open the Immemorial Path and send their disciples in as a trial .
“Due to its destruction, the Immemorial Path was turned into quite a few separate sections . The Eastern Wasteland has an opening to one of those sections . Be careful, because when I entered the Immemorial Path, I was in a group of seven people, and we ended up running into an ambush from the aboriginals . As a result, I was the only one to escape with my life .

“The aboriginals treat the disciples undergoing the trial as invaders, as enemies . At the same time, they are also viewed as prey, and so they will slaughter you the second they see you . ”
Shui Wuhen fell back into her memories of back then . That had truly been a desperate struggle . Those aboriginals were too vicious .
“It seems that Shui Yuncong’s World Piercing Jade Talisman actually came at a perfect time . If I couldn’t find some powerful Magical Beasts, I feel like Meng Qi shouldn’t take on this danger,” said Long Chen . A Beast Tamer without powerful Magical Beasts was too weak .
“Other than those threats, the Immemorial Path itself is filled with dangers . You absolutely can’t be careless!” warned Shui Wuhen .
“Big sister, don’t worry . I’m not the kind of person who would play with my life,” laughed Long Chen .
Leaving Shui Wuhen’s residence, he returned to his own room . What Long Chen hadn’t expected was for there to be a guest waiting for him . That guest was currently chatting with Tang Wan-er .
“Sister Biluo?”
“Oh, didn’t you call me wife back then? Do you refuse to own up to the truth?” laughed Hua Biluo .
“No, you definitely can’t joke around like this . It might be fatal . ” Long Chen hastily waved his hand . In front of an easily jealous girl like Tang Wan-er, how could she make such a joke? He wouldn’t be able to endure the cost to his life expectancy .
“Just look at your foolish expression . Do you think she would be so unreasonable? Sister Biluo has already explained what happened between you two to me . For you to be this nervous, does that mean you have a guilty conscience?” Tang Wan-er rolled her eyes .
Oh, Tang Wan-er actually understood what had happened without getting jealous? How rare . Long Chen smiled toward Hua Biluo . “How are things with your family?”

“Hua Jinrong is dead . I personally killed her! As a result, I become the future inheritor of the family . I came here to find you and pull you into my Hua family,” said Hua Biluo .
Long Chen was startled, but then seeing the slight curl at the corner of her mouth, he realized she was joking . “Then what about the Immemorial Path?”
“Yes, that’s what I came to talk to you about . I won’t be participating in the Immemorial Path . I’ve also given up on the struggle of the martial path,” said Hua BIluo .
“Why is that?” Both Long Chen and Tang Wan-er were startled .
“Because I’m tired . After what happened this time, I’ve found that I am just a leaf floating on an angry sea . That’s what the cultivation path is . Nothing is within my control . But if I withdraw from the martial path and just calmly focus on being a family head, I’ll be able to live a relaxed life . I’m a Celestial, and once I reach Sea Expansion, then with my family’s Treasure item maintaining our karmic luck, I can live a carefree life . ” Hua Biluo smiled a content smile .
But Long Chen and Tang Wan-er couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed . It seemed they had lost a companion .
“Then I’ll have to congratulate you . From now on, you’ll be free,” said Long Chen with a smile .
“There’s no way around it . Compared to you two, I’m lacking talent, as well as a certain confidence . And the thing I’m most lacking in is luck . Wan-er has it good, and Meng Qi also has it good . They’re both your women . But you’ve only ever treated me as a friend!” said Hua Biluo with a bit of disappointment .
“Cough, isn’t is good being friends?” said Long Chen awkwardly .
“Alright, let’s not talk about that . I just came here to tell you this so you won’t worry about me when the Immemorial Path opens . Other than that, remember to go see the wife you snatched away when you have time . Perhaps you could leave something behind for me? You understand!” said Hua Biluo . Although she did her best to act natural, her face reddened slightly .
After sending off Hua Biluo, Long Chen couldn’t help feeling uneasy inside . A genius that had been incredibly grand back in the Jiuli secret realm had now turned out like this . Her sharpness and arrogance had been ground away by the merciless passing of time . She had lost a martial artist’s ambitious heart .
“Are you thinking about when to go see that sister and leaving something behind inside her?” said Tang Wan-er extremely frankly .
Long Chen was speechless . This girl was becoming more and more corrupt under his influence . How could she say something so directly?
“Hehe, what kind of joke is that? Do you think I’m stupid?”
Tang Wan-er laughed and wrapped her arm around Long Chen’s arm . “I’m just teasing you . Don’t you like beautiful women? Sister Biluo is very beautiful, and…”
Tang Wan-er gestured at her chest with her hands, meaning that Hua Biluo was also a woman with a grand chest .
“In truth, I’ve always felt that liking someone is completely dependant on the feeling they give me . I don’t have that kind of feeling toward her, nor would I feel an impulse to risk my life for her, so you can be sure that I don’t like her!” Long Chen shook his head .
Putting it like that made Tang Wan-er smile . “Alright, since you’ve put it that way, I’ll allow you to go find sister Biluo when you absolutely can’t hold back anymore!”
Long Chen raged, “You foolish girl, without feelings as a foundation, wouldn’t it be no different than beasts mating? Since you like it when I leave behind things, how about I leave something behind for you right now!”
“No…!”
The next day, Shui Yuncong returned with three million middle grade spirit stones and the World Piercing Jade Talisman . Only then did Long Chen hand over the Heavenly Water Pearl . After the exchange, both sides smiled sinisterly .
After obtaining the World Piercing Jade Talisman, Long Chen called Meng Qi out of seclusion . Meng Qi had completely placed her mark on all the spiritual crystals, and it was no longer taxing for her to keep them in her spiritual space . She could easily refine them over time, and it wouldn’t affect her combat ability .
Once he arranged a few things with Shui Wuhen, he brought Meng Qi out of the Xuantian Dao Sect . Meng Qi summoned her Violet Phoenix Sparrow, and they rushed into the distance .
