Chapter 848: Set Off

Su Che wasn’t surprised that Xiao Luotian could find him—after all, he was a Celestial Lord, and there weren’t many things in the immortal realm that could hide from them. He was merely curious about what Xiao Luotian wanted from him.
Su Che still had a high opinion of Xiao Luotian. However, the current situation was too complicated to determine who could truly be trusted.
Xiao Luotian remained smiling. He first greeted Tian Yin, who held the same status, then turned to Su Che with a smile and asked, “Are you leaving?”
“Yes,” Su Che nodded.
“It’s a bit early,” Xiao Luotian sighed softly.
“It is a bit early, but only in this way can my strength improve quickly,” Su Che transmitted to him. “Besides, you must know something about Yu Huangtian’s attitude toward me, right?”
“I know, I know…” Xiao Luotian shook his head lightly without saying much, seemingly having his own unspeakable difficulties as well.
Then, he took out a black box less than a foot wide and handed it to Su Che, saying, “You can open it in times of crisis; it will help you once. But remember, it can only be used once. Don’t open it casually—only use it at the most critical moment.”
“Thank you, Senior Luotian.”
Su Che accepted the black box without asking about its specific functions, as it was akin to a ‘life-saving kit.’ When the time came to use it, its purpose would become clear.
Xiao Luotian raised his right hand, with a multicolored glow gathering in his palm. “Finally, I’ll give you one last blessing spell—it might be useful to some extent.”
With a wave of his hand, the multicolored glow vanished into Su Che’s chest.
It was a blessing spell. Su Che felt no harm from the glow, so he didn’t refuse. Moreover, since Tian Yin was already at the level of a Celestial Lord, anything harmful to him would first have to pass through her defenses.
At parting, this was the most tangible blessing he could offer.
“That’s all. Goodbye.”
Xiao Luotian gave Su Che and the others a gentle smile before teleporting away.
After he left, Tian Yin transmitted, “I can sense that his attitude toward you and the way he looks at you are like those of an elder in the family—just like how the Witch God treats me.”
“Is that so?”
Su Che, being involved himself, didn’t have such a clear perception. He could only be sure that Xiao Luotian was indeed very kind to him and that he was one of the rare Celestial Lords who truly cared about the survival of this universe.

“Of course, the one who treats you best among the Immortal Lords must be me,” Tianyin said gently with a smile.
“Nonsense!”
Su Che glared at her before wrapping his arms around her soft waist.
“Still nonsense,” Tianyin cooed softly in his ear.
They left.
Their figures soon disappeared into the dense chaos mist, rendering them completely invisible to many pairs of eyes watching them secretly. The chaotic energy blocked all external investigations.
Within the chaos, Su Che held Tianyin close, moving at a speed of millions of miles per breath, which surprised her greatly.
It was the first time Tianyin had entered the chaotic realm, but as an Immortal Lord, she could tell without trying—on her own, she could only travel ten thousand miles per breath, a difference of a hundred times compared to him.
To this day, Tianyin had never heard Su Che talk about his experiences and gains in the chaos, as she was still extremely unfamiliar with it.
“For me, entering the chaos is like a dragon returning to the sea, free to swim wherever it wants,” Su Che said with a smile. “You’re my wife, akin to a mother dragon, so there’s no need to fear the ocean.”
What mother dragon…
Tianyin was annoyed by his crude words, so she leaned on his shoulder, opened her little mouth, and bit him on the neck.
“Ow!”
Su Che let out a cry, causing ripples in the mist of the chaos.
With the strength of an Immortal Lord, it would be strange if biting didn’t hurt.
“Does it hurt?” Tianyin asked gently. Once pure, she had developed a more coquettish demeanor after ascending to Immortal Lord status—she seemed to enjoy being affectionate and clingy more…
Su Che remained silent, only tightening his grip on her waist as a silent protest.
Tianyin nestled in his arms, appearing weak and unable to fly, like a little woman. Yet once she decided to fight, she could surely knock her man out cold.
Just as Lao He had said: The poor master was clearly a victim of domestic violence…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…
They flew at high speed through the chaos for a long time, still within the realm governed by the Heavenly Dao. Tianyin asked curiously, “How much longer until we can get out?”
“Not yet,” Su Che replied. “It’s been less than a day. It will take at least a month to reach the edge of the Heavenly Dao’s domain.”
“We’ve flown for so long and haven’t encountered anything…” Entering this completely unfamiliar chaotic realm, Tianyin acted like a curious baby.

“This is because the Inner Chaos realm under the rule of the Heavenly Dao has been searched by those Immortal Lords for countless years. Everything that could be found has already been plundered by them. Even if you, a newly risen Immortal Lord, explore this place for tens of thousands of years, you won’t gain anything.”
Su Che explained, “Only by going outside, into true chaos, will you gradually uncover various treasures, even Chaos Spiritual Treasures.”
Through these questions and answers, as she learned more, Tian Yin’s sense of awe toward the Chaos realm diminished significantly. After flying for a month, they finally reached the edge of the Heavenly Dao’s domain.
Su Che stopped and said to her, “Going any further means leaving this universe. So, are you still afraid?”
“A little,” Tian Yin replied softly, gripping his arm tightly, showing that her nervousness was far more than just a little.
“Come on, you’re an Immortal Lord,” Su Che laughed. “How can a true Immortal Lord be so timid?”
“None of the Immortal Lords before me have ever gone outside,” Tian Yin said in a low voice, trying to justify herself. “Does that mean they were even more timid than me?”
In fact, Su Che was just teasing her. He knew well that this wasn’t timidity but an instinctive sense of awe.
Leaving this universe almost always meant losing all strength and becoming a worthless person, absorbed by chaos. It was like an unarmed ordinary person stepping into a pack of wolves—even a naturally foolish person would fear death.
Tian Yin silently sensed the primal power within her, feeling a mix of reluctance and anxiety, as if she might lose it any moment. Yet after a few breaths, she said firmly, “Alright, let’s go!”
“Trust me.”
Su Che stepped forward with her, instantly covering thousands of miles.
It was this distance that took them out of the universe and into true chaos.
As soon as they emerged, Tian Yin let out a barely audible murmur. Undoubtedly, she had sensed something.
“How is it?” Su Che turned to look at her.
“I’m really fine,” Tian Yin replied, her voice filled with surprise, relief, and joy. “My primal power not only hasn’t diminished but has even increased significantly. Why is that?”
Su Che glanced back and said softly, “It’s a gift from it for you.”

Tianyin thought silently for a moment, then turned around and knelt down with her hands clasped together toward that cosmic space, unsure whether she was making a silent wish, expressing gratitude, or making some kind of promise to it. Following Su Che out meant that she too now bore a responsibility… With that, Tianyin no longer felt fear; all that remained was endless curiosity about the Chaos Realm and other cosmic worlds. Whoosh! Su Che activated a three-dimensional map and said to her, “I’ll only show you this Chaos map after we come out—so that no one can overhear my plans and learn about our whereabouts.” Tianyin nodded silently; she had already heard that this map came from a Chaos merchant. Su Che marked two dots on the map: “This dot is where we are now, while this dot represents the oldest cosmic world in the Chaos that that merchant knows of. Many cosmic worlds in the Chaos have been destroyed by the Origin Demons, but this oldest world has never been targeted by them—there must be a reason for that.” Tianyin nodded and asked, “So, is this our first destination?” “Yes,” Su Che replied, looking at the map. “It doesn’t seem far on the map, but in reality, it might take thousands of years to reach.” “As your cultivation improves, can you fly faster in the Chaos?” Tianyin asked. “I can, and so can you,” Su Che nodded. “There are countless opportunities in the Chaos; you’ll always find ways to improve your abilities in various aspects. For you, coming out here is just a starting point.” “Yes.” Tianyin had no doubts about this. Thinking of the Mold God, that powerful Chaos merchant Su Che mentioned, she realized just how formidable he was. If such strong beings existed in the Chaos, it meant she too had the potential to become one of them. What’s called an Immortal Lord is merely someone who has initially developed the ability to survive in the Chaos for a long time—truly just a starting point. Tianyin had already thought of these things. “Let’s go, over there!” Su Che folded up the map and pointed in a certain direction. In the vast Chaos, there was no sky, no earth, no concept of east, west, south, or north. Without such a map, one would have no idea which way to go and could only fly around at random, relying on luck. That’s why encountering that Mold God merchant in advance was truly extremely fortunate.

“Apart from my own luck, did Xiao Luotian’s Great Blessing Spell also play a role?” Su Che had thought this more than once. Unfortunately, the Great Blessing Spell belonged to the top ten great Dao spells, and at present, he had no chance nor enough time to learn and master it. Otherwise, Su Che would have applied several layers of blessings to himself on a regular basis to maintain good luck at all times. What was even more regrettable was that Tian Yin had said that even if the Great Blessing Spell given by Xiao Luotian upon departure was effective, it could only last for at most three hundred years…
