Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1296 - 1293: Can’t Figure It Out!

After hearing Xie Chen’s narrative, Li Chen committed the key pieces of information, "Heavenly Mechanism Stone" and "Great Desolate Thunder Marsh," to memory.

Immediately, he began to ask Xie Chen about the specifics concerning the Heavenly Mechanism Stone and the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh.

In response to this inquiry, Xie Chen didn’t hold back and shared all he knew.

The Heavenly Dao is flawed; the Great Dao is ever-changing!

And the Heavenly Mechanism Stone is a supreme treasure that can glimpse the secrets of the Heavenly Dao.

The Great Desolate Thunder Marsh is one of the top ten dangerous places on the Greedy Wolf Star.

Inside, heavenly thunder is densely packed, and even a Divinity Transformation True Monarch could find themselves completely obliterated if they aren’t careful.

Years ago, the Heavenly Thunder True Master uncovered the profound meaning of heavenly thunder within the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh, founding the lineage of the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

Back then, Xie Chen and Emperor Yu met within the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh. The two connected over shared interests and became close friends.

Xie Chen left the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh, using the opportunity he acquired to establish the Azure Sky Pavilion lineage.

However, Emperor Yu had greater ambition. He wanted to seize the Heavenly Mechanism Stone to explore the secrets of the Heavenly Dao.

Thus, he has never left the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh.

But Emperor Yu was not the only one desiring to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

The Hall Master of the Greedy Wolf Hall, Heavenly Wolf, had similar intentions.

Their life-and-death duel occurred precisely because of this.

After hearing Xie Chen’s storytelling, Li Chen immediately felt the urge to explore the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh.

Xie Chen seemed to realize Li Chen’s thoughts, so he advised, "Li Chen, my young friend, there is something you might not know. Lu Feng, the senior brother of the Five Thunders True Monarch, is currently on Dragon Head Mountain near the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh."

"This Lu Feng has extremely high talent. He received the true teachings of the Heavenly Thunder True Master early on, and his cultivation far surpasses his junior brother, the Five Thunders True Monarch."

"Back then, the Heavenly Thunder True Master’s ideal successor was not the Five Thunders True Monarch, but Lu Feng.

However, Lu Feng has always been immersed in cultivation, reluctant to handle sect affairs. Thus, the position of Sect Leader was passed on to the Five Thunders True Monarch!"

"If you encounter Lu Feng, you must be extremely cautious!"

Upon hearing Xie Chen’s warning, Li Chen nodded in sudden realization.

Yet, this strengthened his resolve to visit the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh.

If he could meet Lu Feng, he must find a way to eliminate him.

Having exterminated the entire Heavenly Thunder Sect, for Lu Feng, Great Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, such revenge and hatred could not be washed clean even with all the waters of the Three Rivers and Five Lakes.

In other words, although he and Lu Feng have never met, they are already sworn enemies.

Sooner or later, there will be a life-and-death duel between them.

If that’s the case, it is better to strike first and eliminate this ticking time bomb early.

Otherwise, he might be unable to sleep well at night.

Xie Chen gave Li Chen a thorough look before asking, "Li Chen, my young friend, are you really planning to go to the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh?"

Li Chen nodded, giving a definite answer.

"If that’s so, then I, though lackluster, would like to go with you. This way, we can look after each other. Maybe I could even offer a small help!"

Having said this, Xie Chen squinted at Li Chen.

The little help he mentioned was obviously about assisting Li Chen in dealing with Lu Feng.

After all, if Lu Feng does not die, the Heavenly Thunder Sect will sooner or later rise again.

By that time, it would likely disrupt the status of their Azure Sky Pavilion.

Rather than suffer this potential threat, it is better to seize the opportunity while alive to remove this menace early, paving a smooth path for their descendants.

Upon hearing Xie Chen’s words, Li Chen was slightly surprised at first.

After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded slightly and agreed.

"It would be my highest honor for Elder Xie to accompany me!"

Having said that, Li Chen exchanged smiles with Xie Chen.

Everything understood without speaking!

At this moment, Xie Wanwan suddenly called out.

"Grandfather, I want to go too!"

However, as soon as she spoke, Xie Chen glared at her fiercely.

"The Great Desolate Thunder Marsh is fraught with danger. What would a girl like you do there? For now, reflect at home, and don’t go anywhere!"

After reprimanding Xie Wanwan, Xie Chen then blew his beard and glared at his son, Xie Batian.

"Wanwan is the way she is because of you, pampering her as a father. If she continues with her mischief, she’ll surely cause big trouble sooner or later. Not teaching one’s children is a failing of the father. Reflect on it yourself!"

Xie Batian felt wronged seeing himself scapegoated, inwardly sweating.

Who on earth spoiled her? If it weren’t for you, grandfather, enabling her each time, would she dare to be so spoiled?

I can’t spank, nor scold her, so how can I discipline?

Of course, these words could only be thought of by Xie Batian and never actually said aloud, resulting in obedient nodding.

Since Xie Chen had sect affairs to address, immediate departure was not possible.

Therefore, the date to set off for the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh was delayed by three days.

Li Chen wasn’t concerned about the delay, agreeing to it at once.

He was arranged to stay in the finest guest room within the Azure Sky Pavilion.

Xia Ning’er attended him!

That night!

The moon was bright, stars few, with a gentle breeze blowing!

Xia Ning’er played the lute at the lake’s heart, while Li Chen rested with closed eyes, feeling nature’s rhythm.

At this moment, his mind was racing.

The Heavenly Mechanism Stone, Great Desolate Thunder Marsh, the Hall Master of Greedy Wolf Hall, Heavenly Wolf, Emperor Yu, Lu Feng, as well as Anran’s identity and the mysterious origin of the scroll she resides within.

Suddenly, a multitude of thoughts surged in like tides, flooding Li Chen’s mind, leaving him bewildered.

So engrossed in thought, he didn’t notice Xia Ning’er finished her piece.

"Master, Master!"

Xia Ning’er twirled her dimple gently, cautiously calling.

Only then did Li Chen snap out of his reverie, asking, "Oh, what is it?"

Xia Ning’er bit her lip lightly, saying, "Master, the Nishang Feather Dress Song is finished. Do you wish to hear another tune?"

Li Chen waved his hand, saying, "No, you may go rest now!"

However, contrary to her usual obedience, Xia Ning’er did not leave.

Li Chen, puzzled, asked, "Ning’er, is there something else?"

Xia Ning’er gently bit her lip, stating, "Master, I wish to accompany you to the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh. Please, master, allow it!"

Li Chen shook his head, saying, "It’s very dangerous within the Great Desolate Thunder Marsh; you’d better stay here!"

Seeing her request denied, Xia Ning’er bit her pearly teeth, seeking an alternative.

"Then tonight, let me serve you, master!"

Seeing her filled with expectation, Li Chen could not refuse, agreeing immediately.

At nightfall!

Xia Ning’er first helped Li Chen remove his clothes, and then she shed her own garments.

Soon, under the starlight, the two began to intertwine.

At this moment, Xie Wanwan came looking for Xia Ning’er.

Suddenly, she heard some strange sounds.

Vaguely, words like "be gentle, it hurts" could be heard.

Xie Wanwan held her fair chin, full of doubt, speaking to herself.

Weird, it seems to be Sister Ning’er’s voice.

Could it be that she made a mistake and is being punished by that jerk Li Chen?

Yet how come the sounds seem tinged with enchantment, not like someone getting punished...

Can’t figure out what’s going on here!

Even more innocent than a white lotus, the author is also puzzled by what’s happening, dear readers, do you understand?
