Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1279 - 1276: Reunion in the Painting

When Li Chen woke up again, he found himself in a world of white.

"Brother, you’re awake!"

At this moment, a crisp voice, like a yellow warbler emerging from the valley, reached Li Chen’s ears.

Soon, he saw a young girl in her youthful prime, wearing Hanfu, as delicate as carved jade, looking at him with concern.

"Anran?"

Seeing the visitor, Li Chen was shocked.

He looked around; it was deathly silent here, with no trace of life.

"Where is this place?"

Anran blinked her lively eyes and replied, "Inside the painting!"

"Inside the painting?"

Li Chen suddenly recalled the Maiden Painting and came to his senses.

He had already realized that the painting was unusual.

He never expected that it contained an entire world within it.

However, this was a lifeless world of death.

"Brother, you’re injured!"

As Li Chen fell into thought, Anran’s concerned voice rang in his ears again.

Li Chen gave a bitter smile, not wanting to worry Anran, and quickly changed the subject.

"Anran, how have you been here?"

Hearing Li Chen’s inquiry, a hint of melancholy appeared in Anran’s bright, clear eyes.

"Not bad, I’ve gotten used to it."

Hearing Anran’s words, Li Chen realized that he had been neglecting her for years, busy with matters outside.

Letting a young girl stay in a cold, lonely world for years.

At any time, that is an extremely cruel thing.

"Anran, I’m sorry, I..."

Before Li Chen could finish, Anran smiled sweetly at him.

"Brother, I’m fine, you don’t need to feel guilty. Actually, it’s quite nice here!"

"Come on, let me show you my collection!"

While speaking, Anran used her small hand to tug Li Chen’s large hand and led him forward.

At this moment, both of them were soul bodies without physical form.

Their hands were shadows cast by their projections!

However, Li Chen could truly feel the chill of Anran’s small hand.

They walked for an unknown time until they finally saw some green, breaking the monotony of colors.

However, the green didn’t come from any living entity but from something like a mirage, a projection from other star domain planes.

Other star domain planes?

Looking at the strange and ever-changing environment before him, a flash of insight crossed Li Chen’s mind.

He had seen a place identical to this one on a mural in the secret chamber of the Miao Territory Witch God Sect.

This was called the Green Tomb!

Could it be...

Suddenly, a name came to Li Chen’s mind.

The senior sister of Beiming Xue, the Divine Woman Yaoji!

She once visited Earth, transforming into the Wushan Divine Woman, and had a romantic affair with the then King Huai of Chu, Wang Xiong.

Wushan Cloud Rain was their creation!

With this thought, Li Chen examined Anran’s facial features.

She somewhat resembled the Divine Woman Yaoji.

This discovery, to Li Chen, opened up a whole new world.

He felt the fog before him was being cleared layer by layer.

However, all of this was still just his speculation.

There was no concrete evidence, and the ultimate truth required in-depth exploration.

"Brother, look, aren’t these beautiful?"

Anran took out a pile of variously shaped pebbles from a suspended coffin.

Anran’s childish voice interrupted Li Chen’s contemplation.

He turned his gaze, only to be taken aback.

"Are these Moonlight Stones?"

Moonlight Stone, a pure energy body, is extremely condensed, almost tangible.

It can be said that a Moonlight Stone the size of a baby’s fist contains energy comparable to millions of top-grade Crystal Stones.

This thing can be seen everywhere in Middle Three Heavens, used directly as the currency there.

However, in the Lower Heaven from the first to the third levels, it’s definitely considered a top-grade spiritual item.

"Anran, where did you get these Moonlight Stones?"

Anran blinked her lively eyes and replied, "Found them!"

Li Chen asked, "Where did you find them?"

Anran pointed ahead and said, "By the sea!"

Li Chen was surprised and exclaimed, "There’s a sea here?"

Anran nodded lightly like a pecking chick.

"Yes, but it’s a white sea!"

Anran led Li Chen to a shimmering body of water.

"Brother, this is the sea!"

Following Anran’s finger, Li Chen looked ahead. Rather than a sea, it was more like a lake.

Moreover, it took the shape of a crescent moon.

Inside the lake, there wasn’t water.

But light!

This was an ocean of light!

To be precise, this was a Light Tomb!

As the name suggests, it’s a tomb of light!

A tomb!

The entire world within this painting was a tomb!

Realizing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but shiver.

To create a Light Tomb single-handedly would require at least a Mahayana Cultivator.

Could this painting really be the work of the Divine Woman Yaoji?

But why would she do this?

For a moment, Li Chen’s mind was in turmoil.

"Brother, look, these are Moonlight Stones!"

Anran dipped her small hand into the sea of light and took out an egg-sized Moonlight Stone.

Li Chen stared at the Moonlight Stone for a while, suddenly remembering that by using this energy and operating the Domineering Longevity Body, he might be able to reconstruct his physical body.

Domineering Longevity Body!

Besides being overwhelmingly domineering, it also has eternal life!

Thinking of this, a fiery light appeared in Li Chen’s pupils.

After instructing Anran a few words, he summoned the Nine Yu Emperor Treasures, forming an absolutely sealed space as a shield, and entered the Light Tomb.

The Meteorite Heart began to spin, forming a vortex.

The light, like waves, was swallowed by the vortex.

Suddenly, Li Chen felt as if he had returned to a place beyond description.

A black hole where there was no light, no sound, no life, and even no time.

Here, an instant is eternity!

Eternity is an instant!

After a moment, Li Chen slowly sensed the passage of time.

The surrounding void began to rotate with a faint glow, invisible to the naked eye.

The acceleration of the rotation quickly increased, reaching Level 1 Wind Speed in the blink of an eye.

Level 5 Wind Speed, Level 12 Wind Speed, Level 15 Wind Speed, First Cosmic Speed, Second Cosmic Speed...

Until it approached the Third Universe Speed, the acceleration gradually diminished to 0, and it began to rotate at a constant speed. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

This means that the Third Universe Speed, 16.7 km/S, is the escape speed of this Light Tomb.

The Nine Yu Emperor Treasures couldn’t withstand such violent energy impact, collapsing loudly.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Chen exceeded his limits with his movement technique and dashed out of the Light Tomb.

Once the surroundings calmed down, Li Chen was surprised to find that the Domineering Longevity Body had helped him reconstruct his physical body.

Moreover, despite the hardships, he used the method of "breaking and standing", facing death before rebirth, to elevate the Domineering Longevity Body to the Great Achievement Realm.

Additionally, Li Chen’s own cultivation advanced further, reaching the Nascent Soul Late-Stage Perfection, just a thin window away from Divinity Transformation.

The only regret he felt was that of the Nine Yu Emperor Treasures, eight were destroyed due to the energy impact of the Light Tomb; only the Qingzhou Tripod, which had developed an Artifact Spirit, remained.

Seeing this, Li Chen felt inexplicably lost.

After all, these Nine Yu Emperor Treasures had been with him for a long time and were his most reliable Magical Treasures.

Suddenly!

A flash of inspiration struck Li Chen’s mind; here lay an endless, inexhaustible supply of energy, all incredibly pure.

He could completely utilize the energy of the Moonlight Stones to unify the nine cauldrons and forge even more powerful Magical Treasures!

...

This Chapter took a whole day to write; I researched things like relativity, space curvature, and the First, Second, and Third Cosmic Speeds, and it made my head spin.

It’s not written well; please forgive me. I’ve dug a huge hole here, to be filled slowly later...
