Chapter 398: Chapter 320 I’m So Excited!_2

With a clasp of his right hand, the Haoran Justice Air swept forth, transforming into Divine Fire that incinerated the Divine Child completely.

Li Chen’s expression was one of shock. These three lines of poetry were naturally ones that he had composed for his mentor in the past. He hadn’t expected that his mentor would take the path of the Confucianism Path because of them, and even become a Confucian Divine Vernarch!

But when his mentor had fainted earlier, Li Chen had observed that he was clearly cultivating both Immortalism and Confucianism.

The three lines of poetry easily slaughtered a Demon of the same realm; his mentor was truly worthy of respect!

“Shall we go down together?” At that moment, Wu Ya turned around and smiled at Li Cheng.

Li Cheng nodded, then looked at Leida, who hesitated slightly before shaking his head.

Leida was naturally hesitant; how could he not understand at this point that both Li Cheng and Wu Ya were from the Human Tribe!

The irreconcilable conflict between their two clans meant that the fact they had not attacked him and had even saved him with Life Essence Qi was probably as far as they would go.

Therefore, Leida dared not ask for more. Leaving on his own at this moment was the best choice.

“The Life Essence Qi you’ve given me is enough for a full recovery. My issue is resolved; I won’t linger any longer. Take care!” Leida clasped his hands together with a complex look on his face.

Who would have thought he would end up mingling with the Human Tribe and even receiving their help?

Li Cheng also clasped his hands, “Take care!”

After speaking, Li Cheng controlled the Formation to open a passage, revealing the glacier outside.

Leida laughed and stepped out, “Brother Li, although we stand on different sides under the current circumstances, I hope that in the future we need not cross swords, and can instead share drinks and conversation.”

As his voice faded, Leida shot through the air, leaving only his voice behind, “Be wary of the Divine Emperor from the Pill Hall!”

Li Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly; Leida had recognized him!

Be wary of the Divine Emperor from the Pill Hall? It must be that senior he talked about, the one who infiltrated the Pill Hall.

Leida must have a substantial relationship with that person. He did not disclose who it was at the moment, but he made sure to point out that it was a figure of the Divine Emperor level, perhaps considering both sides of the situation or maybe he himself did not know that person’s specific identity within the Pill Hall.

With Leida long gone, Li Cheng approached his mentor and asked with a smile, “Mentor, did you really take the Confucian Path because of those three lines of poetry?”

Wu Ya nodded, seriously responding, “What else then? I couldn’t very well waste such fine poetry, could I?”

“Mentor, have you joined the Confucian Sect?”

“Hmm, to follow the Confucianism Path, naturally the Confucian Sect is the most appropriate. After resolving the matters here, I shall return to the Confucian Sect. Will you come along?” Wu Ya then said with a smile.

Li Cheng hastily shook his head, “I need to return to the Land Puppet Mansion in Fu City to enhance my cultivation.”

Wu Ya did not press Li Cheng and pointed downwards, “Follow me.”

Beside the Life Divine Forest, there was an entrance leading underground. As Li Cheng followed his mentor inside, he saw that the Blood Demon Clan within had perished, still bearing the aura of the Blood Demon Venerable.

“These Demon Race members, not even sparing their own, would devour anything to elevate their cultivation, how pitiful!” Wu Ya’s gaze swept over and he continued forward.

After navigating the winding tunnel, the two emerged into a colossal underground space thousands of miles in size, with rows of petrified dragon bones visible above them.

“Is this inside a Divine Dragon?” Li Cheng was astonished.

“Hmm, this Divine Dragon primarily cultivated the Life Law. Even in death, its powerful corporeal strength can still attract the convergence of Heaven and Earth Divine Qi, merging with the life force in its body to give birth to the Life Divine Trees above us.”

“And its body has transformed into this landmass. Unfortunately, this inner space has been transformed into Demon Land by the Blood Demon Clan, or else it would be a cultivator’s Holy Land.”

Wu Ya regretfully said, his Divine Sense sweeping forth to thoroughly investigate.

“Mentor, I heard that when members of the Dragon Clan fall, a Divine Dragon will find their body and take it back to Dragon Island. Why has this Divine Dragon remained here?” Li Cheng inquired.

Indeed, as Li Cheng had said, when any member of the Dragon Clan fell, a Divine Dragon from their clan would always retrieve them and bring them back, not allowing the corpses of the Dragon Clan to be taken elsewhere.

Unless they were a traitorous type from the Dragon Clan.

Wu Ya retracted his Divine Sense and continued walking, saying, “A Divine Dragon that acknowledged a human as its master would not qualify to be buried in Dragon Island after death. The Dragon Clan would only come to reclaim the Dragon Ball.”

His words implied that this Divine Dragon had acknowledged a human as its master and that the Dragon Ball had already been retrieved by the Dragon Clan.

As for the corpse, the Dragon Clan won’t intervene, because the Dragon Clan has enough confidence that no one dares to covet this corpse.

Indeed, no one has, so for countless years, this corpse transformed into this land.

Li Cheng was astonished in his heart. The rumor was that this might be a Divine Dragon of the Divine Emperor level. Then, who was its owner, and what kind of divine being could it be?

Upon reaching the end of this underground space, exactly where the dragon’s head was located, Wu Ya stepped forward and the ground opened on its own, and a rich bloody evil aura suddenly surged out.

Wu Ya’s body was surrounded by Haoran Justice Air, dissipating the bloody evil aura, “The Blood Demon Clan used demon blood to form a Blood Lake, suppressing the Divine Vein here and trying to corrupt it with demonic force. Fortunately, we are not too late.”

The corpse of the Divine Dragon at the level of Divine Emperor had attracted an immeasurable amount of Heaven and Earth Divine Qi over the years, naturally condensing into a Divine Vein beneath it.

And as time passed, more and more Divine Qi joined, this Divine Vein probably had long since advanced to top quality, and there should be more than one.

Wu Ya flew above the Blood Lake and sensed for a moment. Looking at Li Cheng with a smile, he said, “You are lucky. There are ten Divine Veins below; nine of the superior ones are already corrupted, emitting Demonic Qi, but the remaining one of top quality is still a Divine Vein!”

Li Cheng’s expression remained calm. To tell the truth, compared to the top-quality Divine Vein occupied by Ao Jiugai, the one below was definitely not a match.

If he got his hands on this one, at most it would be just supplementing what Ao Jiugai already possessed.

“Eh? A top-quality Divine Vein doesn’t excite you? Could it be that you already have a top-quality Divine Vein?” Noticing Li Cheng’s calm demeanor, Wu Ya couldn’t help but ask.

Li Cheng smiled, “Master, I am very excited!”

Wu Ya shook his head without saying a word, “Fine, I will take this Divine Vein back to the Confucian Sect, and give you a Divine Medicine instead!”

Saying this, Wu Ya took out a tripod, “It’s inside, be careful, don’t try to refine it if you’re not strong enough!”

Li Cheng closely watched the tripod, his expression gradually turning to surprise, “Master, this tripod?”

“The tripod isn’t important, what’s important is the Divine Medicine inside!” Wu Ya said casually.

Li Cheng looked at him and said, “Master, I wanted to ask, where did this tripod come from?”

“Of course, it’s mine, but it’s of no use anymore. Feel free to do with it as you please!” Wu Ya said with a laugh.

Li Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and with a flip of his hand, the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod appeared in front of him.

Seeing the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod, Wu Ya’s eyes narrowed and he frowned at Li Cheng, “The same one?”

Li Cheng quietly watched his master, not saying a word.

The tripod brought out by the master was identical to the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod. Once they appeared, there was a strong connection between them, like two huge magnets being drawn to each other.

Li Cheng suppressed the attraction and prevented them from sticking together, “Master, there is a Pill Recipe inside the tripod for refining a special Divine Pill that alters the talent and aptitude of others. It’s not necessarily evil, but it goes against the natural order. I once suspected that it was a Divine Pill Recipe created by the Demon Race to reduce the number of talents in the Human Tribe.”

Wu Ya still frowned, nodding, “The one I have was found by chance, and it records a Pill Recipe for refining the talent and aptitude of Evil Demons!”

Li Cheng said, “The Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod has seals inside. Now it seems, it’s not just sealed, but also incomplete. If the two tripods were to merge, what would happen?”

Wu Ya raised his eyebrows, “Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod? The one I have is called the Eight Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod, and it also has seals inside!”

The two exchanged glances, both seeing hope and doubt in each other’s eyes.

Both tripods recorded a special Pill Recipe for refining the talent of others, and they were identical in appearance. As Li Cheng had speculated, they were probably originally one.

After pondering for a few seconds, Li Cheng said, “Master, they have a strong pull to join together. Should we let them try?”

Both tripods were presently King Grade Divine Artifacts. If they were to combine into one, the quality was bound to increase further!

Moreover, the seals inside them would probably be unraveled!

As to whether the outcome of the unraveling would be a blessing or a disaster, that remained to be seen.

Wu Ya shook his head and put away the Eight Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod, “The two special Pill Recipes inside are bizarre to begin with. It’s better to be cautious. After we leave this place, I will check the archives at the Confucian Sect!”

Li Cheng nodded. That was also good, not to mention that it was a King Grade Divine Artifact by itself, but just from the Pill Recipe recorded inside, this tripod was bound to have a significant background.

Therefore, it was still better to investigate it thoroughly first.
