My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2105 - 2073: Xiao Chihan

Certainly, here is the translation:

"Buzz~~"

The ground shook slightly, and a figure suddenly emerged.

"Is this the legendary Upper Realm?" A young man asked curiously, looking around.

"Why... is it a cave?" After observing for a while, he found the place where he had appeared to be a bit strange.

As the most remarkable genius in his realm, he had a determined heart for Seeking the Dao, which enabled him to achieve ascension in the shortest time. He was so low-profile that he seldom fought with others, so when he ascended, not many in his realm knew.

Nevertheless, despite everything, reaching this stage through his own cultivation was quite an achievement.

Just as he was about to leave the cave to explore the outside, a flash of light appeared inside the cave, and another figure emerged.

However, the young man realized that this figure appeared much calmer than him, proceeding from the light to present an appearance of tranquility.

For him, it seemed like the most normal thing.

Seeing the new figure, the young man’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of surprise; he hadn’t expected such an encounter during ascension.

"Hello, brother!"

The young man walked over cheerfully and greeted the person who seemed close to his age.

"...Hello."

Quickly, he sensed that the person’s gaze seemed peculiar, but the surprise of the encounter made him put this feeling aside: "I am Xiao Chihan, from Tian Cang Star. Brother, have you just ascended too?"

"Uh... yes, I just arrived." The figure paused, then organized his black clothes, saying: "Hello, my name is Li Chen."

"Brother Li, since we have met by chance, why not travel together?" Xiao Chihan invited.

"Then... let’s go together." Li Chen wiped his nose and said.

To be honest, he hadn’t expected to encounter someone in the Ascension Passage on his journey to the Upper Tier.

Speaking of which, isn’t there supposed to be one passage per realm? Unexpectedly, it is shared among several realms.

"Brother Li, this should be the Upper Realm, but I feel the gravity here is much stronger than in our world; I can’t even fly here," Xiao Chihan said after walking a few steps, frowning.

"Yes. You can only fly from the Heaven Following Realm," Li Chen said casually.

"Heaven Following Realm?" Xiao Chihan was stunned: "What is the Heaven Following Realm?"

Li Chen was helpless and had to explain the celestial grading to Xiao Chihan.

"So that’s how it is..." Xiao Chihan understood after the explanation and quickly thanked Li Chen: "I didn’t expect Brother Li to know so much about the Upper Realm. It seems I’ll have to rely on Brother Li more."

Though an uncommon independent Ascender from the Lower Realm, Xiao Chihan’s humbleness was rare.

"Actually, this isn’t called the Upper Realm; it’s called the Heavenly Realm, with one hundred and eight Star Continents. We’re currently on the Earth Prison Star Continent," Li Chen kindly reminded.

Li Chen probably didn’t expect to introduce the Heavenly Realm to someone, especially an acquaintance he just met.

Well... it’s considered a recent acquaintance.

Thinking of this, Li Chen suddenly felt grateful to Little Cang.

Years ago, having Little Cang’s alter ego helped him avoid many detours and problems.

When he and Xiao Chihan stepped out of the cave, he found two White-Robed Guards at the entrance as before. However, these two were obviously not the original pair, as they had been dealt with by him long ago.

"Just ascended?" A White-Robed Guard turned and glanced at them, seemingly unsurprised by Ascenders.

Although Ascenders are rare in the Lower Realm, given the many realms below, there are always one or two appearing over time.

"Greetings, seniors. I am Xiao Chihan, just ascended from Tian Cang Star," Xiao Chihan said politely, cupping his hands.

As for Li Chen, he simply nodded slightly.

Joking aside, with his cultivation, nodding at two almost Heavenly Level figures was already quite respectful.

Noticing Li Chen’s attitude, the two guards frowned slightly and coldly snorted before looking at him: "Kid, and you?"

Li Chen glanced at the two White-Robed Guards: "None of your business."

"Hmph! You’re just a newly ascended guy; you really think you’re invincible here like in your own world? Let me tell you, the magnitude of this world is beyond your imagination!" A White-Robed Guard stepped forward, tapping the ground with his spear, eyeing Li Chen unfavorably.

Though these newly ascended people usually lack substantial wealth, occasionally, some decent treasures appear from the Lower Realms. While esteemed individuals disregard them, these treasures sometimes can be quite nice for the guards.

If these two recognized the situation, they might let them go. But since this guy isn’t behaving, he shouldn’t blame them.

Hearing the White-Robed Guard’s words, Li Chen inexplicably grinned: "Indeed, this world is vast, but I think I know a bit more than you do."

"Unappreciative! Then don’t blame me for teaching you how significant this world is!" The White-Robed Guard coldly snorted, greed flickering in his eyes, and thrust his spear towards Li Chen.

"Brother Li, watch out!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chihan intervened first.

A longsword emitting a chill blocked the White-Robed Guard’s strike.

"Kid, what do you mean?" The White-Robed Guard, whose attack was blocked, glared at Xiao Chihan.

Earlier, they thought he was sensible and didn’t care, yet unexpectedly, he dared to act.

"Seniors, apologies. I know Brother Li first, and he told me a lot of things I didn’t know before, amounting to teaching me. Now that Brother Li is in trouble, I can’t just stand by," Xiao Chihan said sternly.

"These Lower Realm natives are indeed peculiar. In this era, there’s still such a foolish adherence to tradition." The other White-Robed Guard laughed.

"Since you’re seeking death, we brothers will fulfill your wish today. There are many Ascenders in the Heavenly Realm; it won’t miss you two!"

With these words, they advanced towards Li Chen and Xiao Chihan.

Their aura subtly merged at this moment.

Clearly, this was a Combined Technique; though they hadn’t reached Heavenly Level, after merging, Li Chen estimated even Middle Heaven Realm experts would suffer.

Feeling enormous pressure, Xiao Chihan looked serious.

Li Chen stroked his chin: "Combined Technique? Worth investigating."

Then Li Chen extended a finger.

"Freeze."
