Chapter 942: Chapter 914 Linchuan’s News

"What... is this?"

Staring at the water sphere before him, Li Chen’s face was full of confusion. At the same time, he also had no idea where he was.

However, one thing was certain—he was definitely not in the real world.

Because such things could never exist in reality.

After lingering near the water sphere for a while, Li Chen sensed a faint aura of intimacy emanating from it. Yet, after some contemplation, he decided to leave the water sphere and head toward another ’planet’.

"What... is this again?"

Unlike the previous ’water sphere,’ this was a burning planet made entirely of flames.

From this planet, too, came an unusual sense of intimacy. Li Chen stared at the fireball for a long time and realized it was truly a sphere composed solely of flames—for among the fire, there was nothing else.

"Could this be the Consciousness Space?" After observing several planets, Li Chen stood in the void, a pensive look in his eyes.

Suddenly, Li Chen’s gaze fixed on a green-colored planet. With a slight shift of his heart’s intent, he appeared before the verdant planet.

The surface of the planet was covered with blooming green flowers.

Though he did not recognize these flowers, Li Chen made an unusual discovery.

The glow of the flowers was identical to the True Qi radiance he had once seen emanating from Zi Zhao!

"Could this be the key to breaking through to Earth Level?"

"No, that’s not right! Even for an Earth-level Expert, it shouldn’t be identical across the board; there is still considerable variation in strength. I need to be cautious." A look of seriousness appeared on Li Chen’s face.

He had no experience breaking through Earth Level. Back when he was in the Relic, he hadn’t asked any of the grandfathers about the details of such breakthroughs. As a result, he was completely lost in this situation.

"Damn it, what is going on here?"

Suddenly, an overwhelming fatigue swept over him.

His vision went black, and his consciousness instantly left his body.

After a long time, when Li Chen finally woke up again, he found himself still lying inside the cave.

The little mantis from the Netherworld was perched beside him, staring at him unblinkingly.

"What happened to me? Was everything I just saw an illusion?" Li Chen stared at his hands in a daze.

He could feel that his True Qi had indeed grown stronger, but it hadn’t undergone any significant metamorphosis.

In other words, he was still at the Profound Level.

Unbeknownst to him, he had just stepped onto the threshold of breaking through to Earth Level but had retreated due to hesitation.

"Forget it, it doesn’t matter as long as I’m fine."

Picking up the Black Pearl from the ground, Li Chen thought for a moment and carefully stowed it away.

After what had just happened, even if he were slow-witted, he understood that this was undoubtedly an extraordinary object.

Such an item obviously could not be revealed casually.

This would have been fine in the past, but now that numerous powerful martial artists from the Enchanted World had emerged, even he had to exercise greater caution.

"Phew..."

Li Chen took a deep breath and used Inner Vision to inspect himself. To his surprise, his injuries had almost completely healed without him realizing it.

After some thought, Li Chen surmised this must have something to do with the Black Pearl.

Taking out his phone, Li Chen made contact with Linchuan for the first time since leaving the Marketplace.

"Hello?"

"You finally called! What have you been doing these past few days? Do you know how worried I was about you?!" A distinctly emotional female voice came through the phone.

"Well..." Li Chen awkwardly scratched his head. For safety reasons, his phone had been turned off unless it was absolutely necessary to use it.

To Li Chen, the phone was more of a one-way communication tool when needed.

"My beautiful wife, I really had urgent matters this time, which is why I left in such a hurry. If not, I would have told you, right?" Li Chen said softly. All the bravado and unyieldingness he had when facing enemies vanished completely.

Only when dealing with his family did Li Chen show this side of himself.

To his enemies, Li Chen was a headache-inducing madman who refused to play by the rules.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Lin Yi’s scolding came through the phone: "You only ever think about yourself! Have you considered how worried we are at home about you?!"

"It was my fault, my mistake! Madam, please forgive me! I promise it’ll never happen again!" Li Chen responded with a sheepish smile.

Although Lin Yi couldn’t see Li Chen’s face, she could easily imagine his embarrassed expression, making her unconsciously break into a smile.

"Fine, this time you’re temporarily forgiven. Now that your business is wrapped up, hurry home so we don’t have to keep worrying about you."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Hearing Li Chen’s cautious words of apology, Lin Yi chuckled and hung up the phone.

Knowing that Li Chen had made her his priority and called her as soon as he had the chance filled her heart with joy.

Lin Yi knew her husband wasn’t an ordinary man, nor could he be viewed through ordinary eyes.

For in him existed countless qualities that others lacked.

She couldn’t constrain this man, so she had to do whatever it took to follow him.

Turning her chair slightly toward the tightly closed office door, Lin Yi gazed out the window.

As she raised her hand, a surge of True Qi ignited in her palm like a flame.

"I won’t let you leave me behind. I will... always remain by your side." Lin Yi whispered through tightly drawn lips, determination etched across her face.

Meanwhile, on the other end of things, Li Chen’s expression had changed.

After calling Lin Yi, Li Chen swiftly reached out to the Nether Army.

"Boss, is your business taken care of? When are you coming back?"

"What? Just a few days without me, and you can’t handle Linchuan’s affairs yourselves?" Li Chen joked.

"It’s not Linchuan’s matters, really." Alice sounded hesitant.

"Spill it. What’s going on?"

"Linchuan isn’t the issue. With Sister Catherine here, things are calm despite the increased presence of martial artists. Nobody’s causing trouble. But..."

Hesitating for a moment, Alice finally revealed, "But something seems to have happened at Mong Kok Forest."
