CHAPTER 1241: CHAPTER 1213: KUNLUN MOUNTAINS

Li Chen didn’t know where the Heavenly Gate Realm was, but he was clear that the realm Elder Ji mentioned definitely wasn’t the minor world he’d visited before.

Because even there, he had never heard of the existence of Heaven-level Experts.

Earth-level Experts were the top existence there.

Moreover, the Heavenly Gate Realm described by Elder Ji, even though it was mostly mythical, was completely different from the minor world he’d visited, so Li Chen could almost be certain it wasn’t the Heavenly Gate Realm.

At the same time, Li Chen also heard some news coming from the European Region.

There, the minor world he visited was referred to as—Demon World.

But now, neither the Heavenly Gate Realm nor the Demon World had much to do with Li Chen, because he was still focused on matters concerning the Martial Arts Conference.

"It seems this Martial Arts Conference is something worth attending," Li Chen stroked his chin and made a decision.

If he breaks through to the Heavenly Level and has to go to the legendary Heavenly Gate Realm, Li Chen thought he might face such a choice someday.

Although he didn’t consider himself a world-class genius, he never underestimated himself either.

Given this, it’s better to go and see early.

Although he didn’t necessarily need to go to the Heavenly Gate Realm now, figuring out how to get that ticket was a good plan too.

...

Time silently passed by, and before anyone knew it, it was time for the Martial Arts Conference, and martial artists from various regions emerged and rushed into the Kunlun Mountains.

Since the venue for the Martial Arts Conference was in the Kunlun Mountains, martial artists from all over started heading in that direction.

Even the lowest level martial artists were no exception.

For them, even if they couldn’t earn any rankings or recognition in the conference, witnessing the battles of powerful warriors was something quite worthwhile.

The cultivation of martial artists isn’t solely done in isolation; witnessing battles between powerful warriors can greatly enhance their own cultivation.

Given such a grand event, why would they want to miss it?

People from the Palace of the Nether King also began to head to the Kunlun Mountains in large numbers.

For a while, the roads and transportation routes across the country leading to the Kunlun Mountains area seemed quite congested. Flights had long been sold out.

However, since it coincided with the peak travel period after the Spring Festival, it didn’t attract much attention.

Many martial artists, finding travel by car too slow, even started relying on their physical capabilities to walk.

The foot strength of martial artists is astonishing, often faster than vehicles when consuming True Qi.

However, True Qi is limited for martial artists, and they also need rest. Over long distances, compared to trains and other means of transport, they become quite fatigued.

The Palace of the Nether King certainly wouldn’t encounter such issues.

Before the Martial Arts Conference began, these matters had already been specially handled.

Li Chen also embarked on a journey to the Kunlun Mountains.

With the terrifying financial power of several international companies under the Palace of the Nether King, small matters like this were hardly a concern.

Li Chen directly purchased a private jet for a high price and headed to the Kunlun Mountains.

"So this is the place." As he got off the plane, chattering voices started to surround Li Chen.

"Hmm, the scenery is quite nice," Lin Yi nodded and said.

"Though the Kunlun Glacier is considered a spectacle, it’s somewhat inferior to the icebergs of the Holy Mountain," An Qin glanced around and said, "But the glaciers here seem to span wider, looking more expansive."

"I’ve heard there are snow monsters here; can’t wait to witness them!" Lin Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

"Xiaoxiao, I heard snow monsters are quite terrifying; what’s there to see?" Wang Qianqian whispered beside Lin Xiaoxiao.

"How terrifying could they be? Sister Qianqian, we’re Earth-level Warriors now. If a snow monster dares to appear, I’ll capture it and keep it as a pet!" Lin Xiaoxiao said, patting her chest.

Li Chen turned his head with some helplessness: "Didn’t we agree not to cause trouble? Big sister, those snow monsters are the Mountain Guardian Beasts of the Kunlun Sword Sect, very precious. If you really capture one, Kunlun Sword Sect will surely come looking for us."

"Tch," Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, "How boring, I thought they were wild, but turns out they are man-made."

Li Chen chuckled wryly.

"Alright, since we’re here, don’t cause any trouble. It’s not the same as being at home; we should be more restrained," Lin Yi also stepped forward and said.

This outing was initiated by Lin Yi; if he hadn’t suggested it, Li Chen would never have agreed.

After all, going out entails risks, especially to a place with a gathering of martial artists. Although major forces ensure order is maintained, who can guarantee nothing will go wrong?

Li Chen thought he arrived early, but after truly entering the interior of Kunlun, he realized he was quite mistaken.

Upon crossing the vast glacier, Li Chen saw a scene resembling a gigantic fair.

Standing on the cliff and looking down, he saw the valley below was densely packed with people, and even from such a distance, he could sense their cultivation aura.

Were these densely packed people all martial artists?

A rough glance revealed at least two to three thousand people.

Could Huaxia really have so many martial artists?

While shocked, Li Chen couldn’t help but think that there were still several days left until the official start of the Martial Arts Conference, and not everyone had arrived yet. Including those still on the way, how many martial artists would show up?

Li Chen didn’t know, but at that moment, he understood one thing.

Huaxia might be more full of hidden talents than he imagined.

"So many people?" The women behind Li Chen were also amazed.

"I didn’t expect it either," Li Chen shrugged and said. "But a lively atmosphere is good. With many people around, some individuals won’t dare to make any rash moves. After all, there are so many people watching."

The women understood the implication of Li Chen’s words and nodded.

"Alright, you guys head in first. Some of our people should have already arrived, and when you go over, they should help arrange your itinerary. I’ll head in alone later," Li Chen said.

This was what they had discussed before setting off.

Li Chen’s target was indeed quite big now, making it inconvenient to move with others. Acting alone was more convenient.

"Okay," Lin Yi nodded. "Then I’ll take them inside first."

With that said, Lin Yi led the women towards another entrance into the valley.

Li Chen still stood there without moving, observing the ant-like crowd below with a smile on his lips.

"I didn’t expect there to be so many people; it seems this Martial Arts Conference is indeed worth the interest."
