Chapter 1026: Chapter 998 Forest

After spending quite some time, Li Chen finally stepped into the territory of the Elf Race.

It’s not that Li Chen didn’t want to hurry, but he understood that rushing would be fruitless.

Having cultivated to the Earth Level, Li Chen finally grasped the significance of the State of Mind. Only when the State of Mind is clear can one successfully break through.

For one with a Lucid Body like him, there is no bottleneck in True Qi. The only bottleneck left is in the State of Mind.

Every metamorphosis of the State of Mind allows Li Chen to speed up his cultivation.

Since Li Chen arrived in this world, nearly a month has passed.

And Li Chen is also aware that the Earth Level contract in Huaxia will be initiated in just a month’s time.

In this regard, Li Chen is not particularly worried.

Even if Linchuan’s foundation cannot be preserved, with the strength of several grandfathers, protecting the people around him shouldn’t be a problem.

Even now, for that Great Grandfather named Bai Haoyue, Li Chen can only observe his silhouette from afar.

Reaching this level himself, Li Chen finally understood the true disparity in strength.

Although the Eight Great Hells of Earth Level seem like just ordinary subdivisions, in reality, the disparity in strength between each grade may be calculated as tenfold.

Thus, even within the same Earth Level, the gulf between Living Hell and Infinite Hell is like the difference between a giant and an ant.

As for below Earth Level, perhaps they’re not even considered ants.

At this moment, Li Chen finally comprehended why those Martial Artists all have their eyes set high, never considering ordinary people worth noticing.

This is the most fundamental disparity.

The Earth Level, even placed in an ancient era, could have been called powerful, let alone in this modern era where Spiritual Energy is completely scarce.

However, the world that Li Chen is presently in is somewhat peculiar.

Here, it’s obviously not a world where Spiritual Energy is scarce.

In this place, Li Chen actually feels more at ease.

Compared to when he was outside, his recovery ability is clearly much stronger, not having to run to a Cold Pool after every fight to restore True Qi.

Even if True Qi is depleted, given time, he can cultivate and replenish it right where he is.

This is the benefit of abundant Spiritual Energy.

"Is this the territory of the Elf Race?"

Walking along a path that could barely be called a road, Li Chen’s gaze frequently scanned his surroundings.

Unlike the territory of the Earth Demon Clan, though the Earth Demon Clan’s domain also has a considerable amount of life, it pales in comparison to this place.

The territory of the Elf Race is actually a mountain range.

And within the mountains, a constant Breath of Life exudes, making people feel incredibly comfortable.

In Li Chen’s words, the oxygen concentration here is very high, which makes it exceptionally pleasant.

Fortunately, Cherie grew up in this world, her body enriched by Spiritual Energy. If an ordinary person from Li Chen’s world came here, they might soon be overwhelmed and suffer from nosebleeds due to oxygen intoxication.

In simple terms, they wouldn’t handle the abundance.

"Brother Chen, the air here feels so nice," Cherie whispered beside Li Chen.

"Yes, this is indeed a good place," Li Chen nodded, agreeing with Cherie’s opinion.

Along the way, Li Chen heard that many races actually want to move to the Elf Race’s territory.

Unfortunately, although this race is known for loving peace, they are quite exclusionary and generally unwelcome to outside races.

Of course, Li Chen didn’t expect to be welcomed by the Elf Race; he came here simply to gather information and would leave once his inquiries were complete.

"But where should we go to find elves?" Li Chen scratched his head in some frustration.

Cherie looked at Li Chen with an adorable and silly expression, as if thinking efforts were none of her concern.

Seeing Cherie’s foolish expression, Li Chen felt lines of frustration across his forehead.

This girl has many good qualities, and when it comes to work, she is diligent and never complains... yet she simply refuses to use her brain.

As Cherie puts it: With Brother Chen here, why do I need to bother thinking?

To Cherie, having left her home, Li Chen is now her only pillar of support.

Therefore, she fully trusts Li Chen’s words.

Or rather, Li Chen is the only one she can trust and rely on.

Seeing Cherie’s innocent face, for some reason, Li Chen couldn’t bring himself to voice any reproach.

"Forget it, let’s find a place to rest for a while," Li Chen shook his head, looking at the surrounding forest with a face of helplessness.

This place is indeed filled with the Breath of Life everywhere.

Li Chen could sense that here, the vigorous Life Force emitted by even the grass and trees was far stronger than elsewhere.

This is an intuitive feeling.

Or to simply put, life here lives quite ’remarkably’.

Each life form unabashedly showcases its most dazzling aspects of existence, making one irresistibly want to integrate with it.

Then, Li Chen integrated into it.

"Truly a wonderful place," Li Chen skillfully peeled the rabbit hide, found a small stream to clean the meat, then took out numerous bottles and jars from Cherie’s carry-on bag.

These items are all condiments, some he concocted himself, others bought on the go from settlements.

According to Li Chen, the most valuable thing while traveling is his own life, the second is his stomach.

"Brother Chen, why is everything you cook so tasty? I’ve been learning for so long, but compared to yours, mine still falls short," Cherie asked, looking somewhat troubled at the rabbit roasting on the grill.

Li Chen chuckled, "That’s because you haven’t learned the profound aspects yet. Brother Chen’s ’Li-style Cooking’ can’t be mastered in a short time."

The two sat by the creek, chatting while grilling meat.

Soon, the already hungry Cherie couldn’t take her eyes off the roast rabbit on the grill.

Just then, Li Chen’s nose suddenly twitched, "What’s that smell?"

"What smell?" Cherie sniffed too, but aside from the aroma of roasted meat, she smelled nothing else.

"Alright," Li Chen shrugged, "just pretend I didn’t say anything."

However, at that moment, a faint sound suddenly came from behind Li Chen.

"Swish——"

An arrow shot out from the woods, heading straight towards Li Chen’s back.
