Chapter 173: You Actually Suspect Little Uncle-master? 1
Translator: 549690339 ’ —
In the icy snow, the five Clan Leaders and Monkey Kongxu had already laid themselves flat.
The Monkey King, a Daluo Golden Immortal, was rolling in the snow, looking very much like a mischievous monkey throwing a tantrum.
“The Kunlun Realm, truly wonderful!” Xingyu and Mingyue lay side by side, looking at the azure sky.
“The spatial suppression here is not as strong as inside, but some kind of invisible force has become stronger, yet it paradoxically makes one feel more at ease, truly wonderful!” Mingyue’s eyes brimmed with a serene expression. “Roar roar!”
Monkey Kongxu sprang into the air, racing freely about, and for a moment, the sky was filled with his afterimages.
Elder Qingfeng sat up, took a deep breath, “Let’s get down to business! We’ll have plenty of time to experience the Kunlun Realm later.”
[Disciple Yun Tianqiong has mastered a great amount of Rule Power, receiving enormous gains, rewarded with 42 opportunities for Enlightenment.] [Disciple Qi Jmgtian has mastered a great amount of Rule Power, receiving enormous gains, rewarded with 36 opportunities for Enlightenment.] [Disciple Lei Yuan has mastered a great amount of Rule Power, rewarded with 37 opportunities for Enlightenment.]
[Current remaining opportunities for Enlightenment: 681.)
Having just left the Ancient Ruins, Li Cheng had already gained more rewards, from the previous 566 opportunities, he now had accumulated a total of 681. ’ A hundred thousand li to the north, Li Cheng, together with two disciples, was busy laying out a Cross-domain Teleportation Array.
Soon, a crowd arrived, curiously observing the process.
After setting up the Teleportation Array, Li Cheng also set up a hidden Formation to conceal it, “Clan Leaders, I have condensed Array marks for you. Holding these marks, you may freely come and go.”
“Many thanks, Benefactor!” Elder Qingfeng expressed his gratitude.
Li Cheng waved his hand, “Having received the inheritance of the Five
Elements Great Emperor, it is only right that I do something for the Elf Tribe.” After a pause, Li Cheng smiled, “Come with me to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to sit a while, another day we’ll go to Devil Abyss.”
Everyone nodded and stepped onto the Transmission Array together.
The next moment, the scenery before everyone’s eyes changed, and when it stabilized, they were already at the Eighteenth Peak of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Impatient, they immediately extended their Immortal Sense, surveying the surroundings.
The arrival of six Golden Immortals naturally caused a stir in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, but after Li Cheng explained through Immortal Sense, the sect members were not alarmed but overjoyed.
“The hundred or so of your tribespeople are all cultivating inside the Seven Mystery Tower. Clan Leaders, you may go in to see them at any time.” As Golden Immortals, they naturally sensed the extraordinariness of the Seven Mystery Tower.
But having just arrived in the Kunlun Realm, they were very curious about everything here and had no immediate intention of cultivating.
Apparently, their far greater interest was in exploring the human world.
Benefactor, I truly don’t know how to thankyou enough,” Clan Leader Qingfeng said, leading the way with a deep bow.
“Master Li, we plan to walk around and look around, and we will return in a few days!” Shan Qian said.
Li Cheng nodded, “In a few days I may have to leave the sect for a while. The matter of Devil Abyss, I might not be able to accompany you all, please forgive me, Clan Leaders.”
That was the ancestral land of the Five Elements Elf Tribe, and of course, Li
Cheng had no intention of getting involved.
Moreover, he planned to refine several Profound Spirit Pills before heading off to Misty City.
It wasn’t long before the five of them took their leave, and Monkey Kongxu also left on his own.
Li Cheng, accompanied by the two women, entered the Seven Mystery Tower, summoned various disciples to instruct and give instructions, and after giving each a Emperor Grade Profound Spirit Pill, he proceeded to the higher levels.
His five disciples could be said to be free-range, without much interference from him.
Yun Tianqiong, Ling Xi, Qi Jingtian, and Lei Yuan had already set upon the right path and no longer required his interference. Now, only Yan Yao needed to first refine the Five Elements Meridian Pearl.
Li Cheng had sensed that within the Five Elements Meridian Pearl, there were cultivation techniques left by the Five Elements Great Emperor, naturally intended for the inheritor.
Therefore, there was no need for him to pass on the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to Yan Yao. After she had refined the Five Elements Meridian Pearl, all he had to do was give her some guidance.
On the seventh floor, Yan Bei was still busy recovering from his injuries, and Yan Wuxiang was in closed-door cultivation. Li Cheng did not disturb them and found a place to continue refining the remaining power of the King Grade Profound Spirit Pill sealed within his Nascent Soul.
A day in the outside world was equivalent to seven years here. By refining the Immortal Pill here, he wouldn’t delay matters in the outside world.
“Little Uncle-Master has entered the Seven Mystery Tower with a bit of urgency, it seems. He’s probably going into closed-door training to prepare for something big,” mused Mu Xingzhi, with his hands clasped behind his back, outside the tower.
The Sixth Elder nodded, “We even planned to invite him to watch those elders cross their tribulation, but it seems that’s not happening.”
“Yeah, but it’s fine. With Little Uncle-Master’s strength, he can definitely go to the seventh floor. Seven years there is just one day outside, so even though he’ll miss their Heaven Tribulation, he won’t miss their ascension. That’s good enough!” said Mu Xingzhi.
The First Elder took out a Blood Spirit Pill. “With this, can one really ascend successfully?”
“First Elder, are you actually doubting Little Uncle-Master?” asked the Sixth
Elder, raising an eyebrow.
The First Elder quickly shook his head, “Not at all! How could I? Although I often take the blame for you all, such a matter cannot be wrongly attributed to me!”
“What are you talking about, First Elder? What do you mean by taking the blame for us? That’s not right, not right at all!” said the Seventh Elder, shaking his head.
Mu Xingzhi nodded in agreement, “We are all one family here, so let’s not speak such distant words. Alright, let’s go and watch the elders cross their tribulation.”
Cultivators seeking to cross their tribulation mostly choose desolate places to avoid disturbance and with the added goal of preventing malicious interference.
This time, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had as many as seventeen people preparing for their tribulation, and they were no exception. The location of their tribulation was originally kept secret, such that even Mu Xingzhi didn’t know.
However, after Mu Xingzhi’s persuasion, they revealed the location of their tribulation.
Each person had chosen a different place for their tribulation, and so Mu
Xingzhi and the others were kept busy running around.
But in the end, the ones who were busy were the Daluo Golden Immortals from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave; although they couldn’t show themselves, they provided covert protection.
More than ten days passed, and the seventeen people who had successfully transcended the Heaven Tribulation gathered at the Eighteenth Peak, with expressions brimming with joy.
“It’s been over ten thousand years. Our sect is finally going to have people ascend! And we’re the first batch, what a joyous occasion!” said an old man with white hair and beard, stroking his long whiskers – who today possesses such an immortal demeanor?
“My day of ascension is three months from now. It’s quite soon; Elder Chen’s is two years away, which is a bit far off!”
The crowd discussed, while Mu Xingzhi and others listened silently. Sensing the day of ascension meant that everyone truly was on the verge of ascending! In the next three months to two years, seventeen people would ascend. Heh, what would the faces of the Immortal World’s Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s ’ upper echelons look like by then?
Mu Xingzhi secretly thought to himself.
“Sect Master, you too should take this time to cultivate diligently. With the Seven Mystery Tower here, and so many Breakthrough Pills, it won’t be long before you can cross your tribulation and ascend,” whispered the Seventh Elder.
Mu Xingzhi frowned at the Seventh Elder, “Are you looking forward to my ascension?”
“Eh? Should I say yes or no to that?” the Seventh Elder asked helplessly.
That question was a veritable death sentence.
Mu Xingzhi smiled playfully, with a hint of mystery, “I plan to follow in Little Uncle-Master’s footsteps.”
“Huh? Don’t, that’s my idea. You’re infringing upon it!” exclaimed the Seventh Elder in shock, hurrying to speak up.
The rest of the high ranks were puzzled-follow in Little Uncle-Master’s footsteps? They meant emulating Little Uncle-Master’s decision not to ascend, right? What kind of brilliant plan was this?
