Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s face reflected a spectrum of surprise; Ao Qianchi, with his Cultivation, had actually been wounded!
Ao Qianchi waved his hand, “A minor injury, it will take a few years to fully recover to my peak state, but it wasn’t Dead Spirits that I encountered, it was a human powerhouse!”
At this statement, both Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan were taken aback. Was there really an entity in the Kunlun Realm more powerful than Ao
Qianchi?
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan seemed to have thought of something and frowned, “Aside from the Grand Exalt, there’s only one person I can think of who could injure you!”
“Exactly, it was him!” said Ao Qianchi, as his gaze shifted toward the center of the city, “The Grand Exalt suppressed that person here to lure him out. These years the Dead Spirits have been attacking; it’s his doing.”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, “That means, he must have taken control of some of the top Dead Spirits, to be able to command them.”
Li Cheng realized, they were talking about the person who cultivated the Ten Thousand Traits Stealing the Heavenly Scripture.
The Grand Exalt and the others had slain his countless incarnations years ago, but his true body was never found; had the Grand Exalt then used Blunt Empty City to suppress a figure closely related to him as bait?
“This is troubling, with the Grand Exalt not yet returned, if he personally comes here, can you handle it?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan asked further.
Ao Qianchi smiled, “I actually hope he would come, but knowing that there are measures left by the Grand Exalt here, how would he dare?”
“What’s perplexing though, is that it seems he sensed some kind of crisis. After injuring me, he actually fled into a spatial crack.
“Could it be that the Grand Exalt has returned?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s eyes lit up.
“If the Grand Exalt had returned, would I not sense it? I did not, so I find it strange,” Ao Qianchi mused.
A thought struck Li Cheng, “Throughout the history of the Kunlun Realm, many unparalleled powerhouses have emerged, is it possible that…”
“Why are you not cultivating?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan cut off Li Cheng’s words.
“Indeed, why meddle unnecessarily? Go on now, I am also looking forward to testing my strength against you once your Domain is fully realized!” Ao Qianchi also urged.
Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders, alright, if the sky falls there are these tall guys to hold it up, he might as well focus on his Cultivation!
It had been three months in the Inner City, and his Enlightenment sessions had grown rather than diminished, from the initial 1,101 instances, to now 1,720!
This time, Li Cheng planned to comprehend various Laws while also perfecting his Law Domain.
Time flew quickly, and Li Cheng used up 1,825 sessions of Enlightenment, which over five years meant a session every day.
But the remaining Enlightenment sessions still numbered a full three hundred! Obviously, in these five years, aside from going out to temper themselves, his five disciples had been comprehending various rules in the Seven Mystery Tower, resulting in Li Cheng’s abundant Enlightenment sessions.
“Continue, let’s use up all three hundred sessions!”
Li Cheng was always comprehending various Laws and perfecting his Law Domain; this time, he used up all his Enlightenment sessions.
On the Inner City’s walls, Ao Qianchi and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan were playing a game of chess-Li Cheng being in a constant state of Enlightenment during his Cultivation was something they had grown accustomed to.
“Other cultivators practice in a conventional way, but his Cultivation is all through Enlightenment; if this continues, he really might have a chance to transcend the Grand Exalt,” Ao Qianchi commented with a laugh, placing a piece on the board.
“You believe now? Look at his Domain now, composed of nearly thirty thousand different Laws; how many Immortal Emperors cannot reach this in their lifetimes?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan laughed.
Ao Qianchi nodded, “But it’s too imbalanced; some, like the Earth Law, have over ten thousand pathways, while others, like the Water Law, only have a few hundred. This causes obvious weak points in his Law Domain.”
The smile remained on Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s face, “Well, this Blunt Empty City is where the Earth Law is most active; perhaps that’s the reason. Once he comprehends all the various Laws, he will naturally compensate for the shortcoming you mentioned.”
Ao Qianchi’s movements came to a slight pause, “After all, one’s energy is finite, he will have to spend ten times as much time as others if he aims to push all ten Laws he has comprehended to their limits…”
Pausing for a moment, Ao Qianchi seemed to think of something, shaking his head and chuckled, “Forget I said that.”
Logically, it should take ten times longer than others, but Li Cheng had comprehended nearly thirty thousand various Laws in just five years, which is more than many Immortal Emperors in their lifetimes!
Since that is the case, he felt there was no need to say more, perhaps, Li Cheng really could bring all ten Laws to the pinnacle of mastery.
Nearly another year passed, and Li Cheng slowly opened his eyes. [Disciple Yun Tianqiong has successfully overcome the Heaven Tribulation, reward 100 chances of Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Ling Xi has successfully overcome the Heaven Tribulation, reward 100 chances of Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Qi Jingtian’s true form has successfully transformed, reward 200 chances of Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Lei Yuan has successfully overcome the Heaven Tribulation, reward too chances of Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Yan Yao has successfully overcome the Heaven Tribulation, reward too chances of Enlightenment.]
[Current remaining Enlightenment chances: 600.]
Just as he awoke, the prompt rang out.
Li Cheng was astonished in his heart, these fellows, they’ve all overcome their tribulations in this period?
After a brief consideration, he realized that aside from going out for experience, all five disciples had been cultivating inside the Seven Mystery Tower, where the time they spent must have far exceeded a thousand years.
With their talents, the fact they only underwent tribulation after such a long time must be the result of deliberately suppressing their powers; otherwise, they would likely have faced it several years earlier.
Qi Jingtian had also transformed, and everyone had passed their tribulations; it shouldn’t take long for them to ascend, I should go back and check on them!
Standing up, Li Cheng looked over at the City Lord Mansion in front of him.
The City Lord Mansion was enveloped by strong prohibitions, and the death energy inside was incredibly dense, with occasional bursts escaping. “Cultivation is over? Let’s try to see if I can absorb all the death energy that has accumulated over many years!” The voice of Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan rang out.
Ao Qianchi and Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan landed beside Li Cheng, both nodding at him approvingly.
“I have just entered the Golden Immortal realm; I’m afraid absorbing this death energy is impossible for me, but I have another method.
Without asking further, Li Cheng reached out and pressed down, and the Law of Death swept out!
Ao Qianchi and Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan both raised their eyebrows, “He has actuallt comprehended five thousand Laws of Death!
Under the guidance of the Law of Death, the death energy immediately turned into a vortex and began to condense quickly, and in no time, it had formed a fist-sized black orb.
Ao Qianchi reached through the prohibitions and grasped the orb, examining it closely and then clicked his tongue, “The one inside took a hundred thousand years just to overflow with this death essence, hoping to summon Dead Spirits. He didn’t expect it would be all in vain in the blink of an eye.
Li Cheng examined the prohibitions, “This prohibition was intentionally left flawed to guide the one inside to release the death essence, yet it merely allowed his death energy to serve as a beacon, unable to break through the prohibition. The means left behind by the grand being are truly extraordinary.” Ao Qianchi handed over the Death Essence Qi Orb to Li Cheng, “The grand being’s goal has been achieved, this orb is useful to you; take care of it.” Li Cheng took it, curiously asking, “What Dead Spirit was suppressed inside?”
