Chapter 4: Outer Heaven Meteorite!

Ye Chuxue's home was located in the Shangshan Ruoshui District, a mid-to-high-end area in Donghua City. Even in the real estate market of 2008, which hadn't yet surged to its peak, the housing prices in this area were approaching the ten thousand yuan mark per square meter.

On the way there, Ning Qian'er was like a curious baby, chattering nonstop and asking Li Chen questions about when he learned martial arts and if he'd been to Shaolin Temple, among other trivial queries.

Ye Chuxue was also curious about Li Chen, but she cared too much about her image. She hesitated with her mouth opening and closing, yet she couldn't bring herself to ask a single question.

Seeing Li Chen looking at her, she immediately glared back with wide, almond-shaped eyes, and scolded, "Jerk, what are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty before?"

Li Chen curled his lips and said, "Chuxue, I did help you just now. Not saying thank you is one thing, but to repay kindness with ingratitude, that's a bit unprincipled!"

Ning Qian'er giggled and said, "Hehe, Li Chen, how do you expect Chuxue to thank you? Marry you?"

Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes at Li Chen and pouted, "Hmph, wishful thinking on his part. Even if all the men in the world were dead, I wouldn't marry him!"

After saying that, she turned to Ning Qian'er and declared, "Qian'er, you're sleeping with me tonight!"

Ning Qian'er smiled and nodded, "Okay, Xue'er, tonight you shall serve your palace!"

Ye Chuxue waved her little fists, lightly pounding Ning Qian'er's shoulder, and scolded playfully, "Go to hell!"

After watching Ye Chuxue and Ning Qian'er return to their room, the playful expression on Li Chen's face faded away.

He looked up at the ceiling, which was both familiar and strange to him, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he murmured to himself, "It's great to live again."

After a moment of reflection, Li Chen returned to his own room to examine his body.

But the more he looked, the more a sense of despondency crept over him.

Damn it, the powerful cultivation capable of sweeping across the eight deserts and nine directions had completely vanished.

It felt like playing a max-level online game, and then suddenly getting your account deleted, back to level zero. His current state of mind could only be described with the word "frustrating."

To be reborn was a stroke of extreme luck amidst misfortune. Although the spiritual power on Earth was very scarce, breaking through the innate bottleneck was still possible.

The path of cultivation was generally divided into eight major levels: Acquired, Innate, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Mahayana, and Crossing Tribulation.

Among them, Crossing Tribulation is further divided into Nine Revolutions: the first to third revolution as Immortal Lord, the fourth to sixth as Immortal King, and the seventh to ninth as Immortal Venerable. Those who reach the absolute perfection of the ninth revolution become Immortal Emperors.

In the entire Cultivation Realm, of the three thousand great planes and countless living beings, there were only nine Immortal Emperors, and Li Chen was one of them.

Above the Immortal Emperor was the legendary realm of Saints who possessed everlasting life.

He once had the potential to become the first person to reach the Saint realm!

But the Heavenly Dao is unpredictable. He was ambushed by the Four Directions Heavenly Emperor, the Nine Immortal Venerables, and betrayed by his beloved, the Yaochi Saintess Beiming Xue, who secretly stabbed him, leading to his bitter demise.

Thinking of these past incidents, Li Chen felt as if his heart was being cut by knives, and he was on the verge of mad frenzy, like a wild beast ready to go berserk.

"Beiming Xue, I treated you as my true love, why did you betray me, why, why, why?"

Suddenly!

After a bout of hysteria, Li Chen was amazed to discover a rising sun within his body.

Is this... the Outer Heaven Meteorite?

The same Outer Heaven Meteorite that the Four Directions Heavenly Emperor and the Nine Immortal Venerables fought over?

Thinking of this, Li Chen's heart surged with excitement.

The meteorite inside Li Chen rose slowly from the Dantian, much like the sun rising from the horizon.

Once the Outer Heaven Meteorite entered Li Chen's mind, it suddenly burst out with a dazzling, blinding light, burning his eyes as if they were on fire.

"Ah, my eyes, my eyes..."

In the next room, Ye Chuxue, upon hearing Li Chen's screams, dashed over in a flurry.

"Li Chen, Li Chen, what's wrong, what happened to your eyes?"

After a brief period of blindness, Li Chen's eyes began to regain some light perception.

As he focused his gaze, his eyes suddenly felt a burning pain, and his vision started to blur.

Seeing Li Chen's dazed expression, Ye Chuxue asked with concern, "Li Chen, are you alright?"

Li Chen shook his head, looking bewildered as he replied, "Chuxue, I'm fine!"

Ye Chuxue glared at him fiercely, clutched her chest as if she had the fright of her life, and huffed, "Hmph, if you're fine, then why the screams and cries? You're scaring me to death with this nonsense!"

After saying this, she glared at Li Chen fiercely and stormed off in a huff.

Watching Ye Chuxue's departing figure, a faint smile formed on the corners of Li Chen's lips.

Despite Ye Chuxue's fierce words, the fact that she ran into the room barefoot showed that she truly cared about him...
