“The Space-Time Divine Ancestor comes from the most powerful Chaos Spirit Tribe, and in the Central Continent, there lies a hidden Land of Chaos, said to be where the Chaos Spirit Tribe has lived generation after generation.”
“Finding the Land of Chaos might lead us to the inheritance he left behind.”
Blunt Empty Venerable communicated through a privacy-ensuring sound transmission.
Li Cheng silently nodded, this indeed significantly narrowed down the search area, but since it’s a hidden Land of Chaos, it likely refers to the Ancient Ruins, hidden for many epochs.
The fact that it went undiscovered for countless epochs indicated the difficulty
of the task.
“In the Central Continent, there once appeared a powerful Treasure Pagoda, created by the Chaos Spirit Tribe. If we find it, we will surely find clues to the Land of Chaos!” Blunt Empty Venerable added.
“All in all, there are not few clues, if only I hadn’t been preoccupied back then, I
might have found it by now.”
Li Cheng chuckled, “Let’s leave it to fate!”
Wanting to grow stronger doesn’t necessarily mean looking for the inheritance
left by ancient powerhouses.
Of course, if such an inheritance existed, it would certainly save a lot of trouble.
But he didn’t force it, after all, what he needed more were chances for enlightenment.
Besides, the Ancient Ruins of the Kunlun Realm would emerge sooner or later, and at that time, the Land of Chaos might also appear.
Blunt Empty Venerable realized that Li Cheng wasn’t particularly looking forward to the Space-Time Divine Ancestor’s inheritance!
He wanted to say something to increase Li Cheng’s expectation for the inheritance, but upon reflection, Blunt Empty Venerable chose not to. Instead, a smile emerged on his always serene face as he came to an understanding.
“To leave it to ‘fate’ is indeed something that makes this old man feel ashamed!” said Blunt Empty Venerable with a laugh.
Li Cheng smiled. The Blunt Empty Venerable wanted him to focus on mastering the Path of Time in order to maintain the order of the Long River of Time in the future, but had he ever asked Li Cheng if he was willing?
Without asking, he had already started making grand promises.
With Li Cheng’s nature, he was not even willing to bother with small sect affairs, let alone the grand issues of the Long River of Time.
“Well then, Li Cheng, just make sure not to meddle lightly with the Long River of Time. I shall take my leave now!” Blunt Empty Venerable smiled and his already ethereal form slowly dissipated.
“Eh? Li Cheng, what did he transmit to you? Why did he just fade away? Ao Qianchi hastened to ask.
Li Cheng shrugged, “He said the Space-Time Divine Ancestor came from the Chaos Spirit Tribe, and by finding the Land of Chaos, one might find the inheritance he left behind.”
Ao Qianchi and Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan listened and exchanged glances. Tian Yuan then smiled and said, “It seems Blunt Empty Venerable has been waiting in vain for you; he doesn’t really understand you.
With the dispersal of the Divine Sense left by Blunt Empty Venerable, Blunt Empty City returned to normal.
Ao Qianchi, though curious about the inheritance of the Space-Time Divine Ancestor, knew how difficult it would be to find it. So, he didn’t dwell on the matter and instead asked, “Blunt Empty Venerable was specifically waiting here for you, does that mean you met him in the Long River of Time?”
“You could say that!” Li Cheng nodded slightly and continued, “Elder, I’ve come to you to inquire if you know of any Ancient Ruins? I’d like to have a look.”
Ao Qianchi shrugged, “I’ve always been stationed here, how would I know of any Ancient Ruins?”
“You’ve grasped quite a few Space Laws, haven’t you? If you’re looking for
Ancient Ruins, you’re fully capable of finding them yourself!”
Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan chuckled on the side, “He’s lazy.”
Lazy? Li Cheng looked at Tian Yuan. He wasn’t lazy, was he?
For the sake of accepting disciples, he’d been running around for three years!
“Haha, then head to Central Continent. It’s the core area of the Kunlun Realm, and it’s bound to have the most Ancient Ruins. Perhaps some of them are already open to the public!” Ao Qianchi laughed.
Li Cheng also smiled. If he went to Central Continent, he wouldn’t necessarily have to look for Ancient Ruins any longer.
Searching for Ancient Ruins here was in the hope of finding suitable disciples, but in Central Continent, with its vastness, he was sure to easily find disciples.
Pondering, Li Cheng nodded slightly. Well then, it was a good time; a few years ago, the high-level members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had already brought up the matter of opening a spatial wormhole.
Now, with his cultivation vastly improved and a deeper understanding of Space Laws, opening a spatial wormhole wouldn’t be difficult!
At the thought, Li Cheng folded his hands in respect, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I will go for a walk in Central Continent!
Ao Qianchi’s smile stiffened. He had merely mentioned it in passing, but was Li Cheng really going?
Once he left, who knew when they would meet again.
He had been looking forward to sparring with Li Cheng, but the last time, Li Cheng had refused on the grounds of a significant difference in cultivation levels.
“You take care here; Li Cheng and I will be leaving first!” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan said with a laugh.
Li Cheng gave another bow and took his leave.
Returning to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Li Cheng discovered that the number of Loose Immortals in the sect had exceeded a thousand!
After inspecting the Eighteenth Peak for a moment, Li Cheng couldn’t help but be impressed, “I must say, Mu Xingzhi truly has a way with managing the
sect.”
“His management skills are one thing, but more importantly, it’s your prestige that has been at play,” said Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan.
Li Cheng gave a noncommittal smile, “Why do I feel like Senior is flattering me?”
immortal Emperor Tian Yuan glared at Li Cheng in annoyance and then returned to the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.
Intentionally releasing his presence, it wasn’t long before Mu Xingzhi hurried over, “Junior Uncle, you’ve been gone for three years. Where did you go?”
Li Cheng looked Mu Xingzhi up and down, “Just wandering around. It’s been three years; how come you’ve only faced nineteen Tribulations?”
Only?
Protesting the choice of Li Cheng’s words, Mu Xingzhi said, “Junior Uncle, crossing nine Tribulations in three years is already defying the heavens, okay? And you say’only’?”
Three years ago, he was a Ten-Tribulation Loose Immortal, and now he was at nineteen. Under normal circumstances, for other Loose Immortals, this would take nine thousand years!
After all, not all Loose Immortals dare to recklessly provoke the Loose Immortal Tribulation, treating Tribulation Crossing as play.
Li Cheng smiled, “Impressive, Sect Master! Sect Master, you once mentioned the matter of the space wormholes. Now that our sect has grown stronger, it’s time to get started!”
Mu Xingzhi was overjoyed, “I’ve been waiting for this day for quite a while. I will inform all the Immortals in Ten Thousand Evils Cave and the Loose Immortals in the sect to come and help you!”
Li Cheng shook his head, “No need, just ask Elder Yan Bei to lend a hand.”
Mu Xingzhi pondered and then nodded in agreement, “That makes sense. With Elder Yan and Junior Uncle, it’s like having a mighty army!”
“With the two of you taking action, it shouldn’t take too long to breakthrough. I’ll need to hurry and arrange for people to find a suitable location in the Land of Chaos to establish a base and make complete preparations!”
As he spoke, Mu Xingzhi gave a bow, “Junior Uncle, thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s just a small matter. By the way, have there been any messages from the four of them? And has Qi Jingtian returned?” Li Cheng asked.
It had been so long since their ascension, with no news of their lives in the Immortal World.
And Qi Jingtian, after transforming for so long, had also not returned to share the good news.
“There has been no message from them yet, and as for Junior Brother Qi, he did return a year ago and stayed for a while before heading off to Central Continent, saying he wanted to experience different places.”
“Central Continent? He’s gotten ahead of me,” murmured Li Cheng.
Mu Xingzhi raised an eyebrow, “Junior Uncle is also planning to go to Central Continent?”
Li Cheng nodded, “Otherwise, why would I open a space wormhole?”
Mu Xingzhi was at a loss for words, then coughed and said, “Junior Brother Qi heading to Central Continent is only a stopover; he said his ultimate goal is to visit the Northern Region, after all, that’s the Monster Race’s domain.”
As a formidable creature of heaven and earth and a monster cultivator, Qi Jingtian naturally wanted to see the Northern Region where monster cultivators roamed free.
“By the way, Junior Uncle, he also took the two Sky-covering Cloud Rocs with him,” added Mu Xingzhi.
Li Cheng pondered, “That guy, instead of going to the Immortal World to find Qi Jingshen’s Remnant Soul, what’s he doing wandering everywhere?”
