Xuan Yifeng muttered to himself before returning to his seat, his gaze fixed on the chessboard they’d just finished playing.

On the other side, as Xuan Yifeng had predicted, Elder Lin made straight for the mountain peak where the Artifact Sect resided.

“The Artifact Sect and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect have a deep grudge, and there are rumors that a powerful person from the Lower World has arrived in the Artifact Sect. If I can meet with them, I will certainly make the Artifact Sect take the lead!”

“By then, hehe…”

A cold smile emerged on Elder Lin’s face as he silently pondered.

“Elder Lin, you shouldn’t have come here!”

Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice rang out beside Elder Lin’s ear.

Elder Lin’s pupils contracted, his body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, and his mouth opened, but he found himself unable to move or speak a word. Without time to think any further, he felt the world spin around him and gradually he lost consciousness.

The shadow watched as Elder Lin turned to ash, then looked up at the mountain peak in front of him before disappearing once again.

Within this mountain peak, Zhuo Bu’er, the Sect Master of the Artifact Sect, was kneeling before an elder. But the elder didn’t even glance at Zhuo Bu’er, instead shifting his gaze to where Elder Lin had fallen, his eyes showing a trace of puzzlement.

“Strange, the Taoist Mysterious Sect is self-destructing, yet they run over here. What’s their game?” the elder muttered.

Zhuo Bu’er looked up at the elder. “Ancestor, what’s going on?”

The elder shook his head and finally turned his gaze to Zhuo Bu’er, speaking indifferently, “Stand up. It’s not so simple to deal with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Do you know that Zhuo Canghai is a Golden Immortal? Even a Golden Immortal has perished silently. The Heavenly Mechanism Sect runs deep!”

“Ancestor, are we just going to let this go? When has our Artifact Sect ever suffered such a humiliation?” Zhuo Bu’er said through clenched teeth.

The elder sneered, “How can we let it go? I have my own plans; you don’t need to worry about it!”

With these words, the elder’s gaze turned towards the direction of the Eighteenth Peak, the cold smile on his face growing thicker.

In the Seven Mystery Tower, Li Cheng stepped out, his three-month retreat in the seventh level equating to over two hundred years.

[Your disciple Yun Tianqiong has obtained a vast amount of Rule Power and has reaped great rewards, with 88 chances for enlightenment awarded.]

[Your disciple Ling Xi has obtained a vast amount of Rule Power and has reaped great rewards, with 91 chances for enlightenment awarded.]

[Your disciple Qi Jingtian has obtained a vast amount of Rule Power and has reaped great rewards, with 79 chances for enlightenment awarded.]

[Your disciple Lei Yuan has obtained a vast amount of Rule Power, with 77 chances for enlightenment awarded.]

[Your disciple Yan Yao has reaped great rewards, with 85 chances for enlightenment awarded.]

[Current remaining chances for enlightenment: 1101 times.]

As the notification rang out, the corner of Li Cheng’s mouth curled involuntarily.

In three months, all five disciples had gained a lot indeed!

They had contributed four hundred and ten chances for enlightenment altogether, now accumulating nearly enough for him to use for three years!

This retreat had lasted for over two hundred years, making it his longest one to date!

Whoosh!

In the midst of his delight, a flash of golden light appeared. “You’ve finally come out of retreat. I’ve known you for so long and never seen you retreat for such a long time!”

It was Feng Wanli.

Feng Wanli examined Li Cheng from head to toe, his brows furrowing. “Why do I feel that your cultivation is almost on par with that of Monkey King Kongxu from the beginning? Could you have reached Complete Profound Immortal?” “Did I miss anything?”

A series of questions left Li Cheng somewhat speechless. “You haven’t missed anything. Let’s get to the point. What brings you here?”

Feng Wanli sighed, “What else could it be? I’m saying goodbye. I have to go back!”

“How many times have you said that now? Does it feel novel to you?” Feng Wanli coughed awkwardly, “The Daoist Mysterious Sect’s new person from the Lower World has already arrived, so I really must go back. Besides, I’ve maintained my Immortal Infant state for too long, I need to return to reconsolidate my Immortal Body.”

Li Cheng nodded with a playful tone, “It seems this time it’s for real. Take care then, and don’t let anyone shatter your Immortal Body again.”

Feng Wanli shrugged, “Once I’m back, I will definitely be a key figure under the sect’s protection. At the least, they will assign a Daluo Golden Immortal or even an Immortal King-level powerhouse to act as my Protector, rest assured!”

Then I must congratulate you, having a Protector… that’s great!” Li Cheng said with a laugh.

Heh, it’s all thanks to your blessing. When you come to the Immortal World, you must tell me at the first opportunity!” Feng Wanli said and then gave Li Cheng a Jade Slip.

Li Cheng accepted it, his smile undiminished, “You go ahead without worries!” Feng Wanli rolled his eyes, “That doesn’t sound auspicious. Can’t you say something nicer?”

“All right, I wish Elder Feng good fortune as boundless as the heavens!”

“Heh heh, that’s more like it. Then I’m off, take care!” Feng Wanli said, disappearing from the spot.

Li Cheng sighed silently. Who knew when they would meet again next time.

“Little uncle, you’ve finally emerged. The ascension ceremony is about to start!” Seventeenth Elder greeted him with a beaming smile.

“Elder Shu, you haven’t been waiting for me to come out this whole time, have you?” Li Cheng asked curiously.

Seventeenth Elder Shu Youlu shook his head, “Of course not. We elders took turns, each standing guard here for one day. One reason was to wait for you to emerge, and the other was to keep an eye on the Seven Mystery Tower.”

Li Cheng was startled and swiftly changed the subject, “Who is ascending? I see representatives of all the major powers have arrived; they’re here to attend the ceremony, right?”

“Today just happens to be my master’s ascension. His old self was an elder of the previous generation, and after stepping down, he has been in closed-door cultivation. Little uncle, you might not have seen him before,” Shu Youlu said with a smile.

Li Cheng nodded; he hadn’t met many of the sect’s predecessors.

These three months, quite a few predecessors have passed the Heaven Tribulation. In the next two years, more than twenty will ascend!” Shu Youlu continued, his voice filled with immense pride.

As he spoke, Shu Youlu looked at Li Cheng again, “All of this is thanks to you, little uncle!”

Li Cheng smiled and looked up at the sky, where the rule power had become more active, “Let’s go, the Ascension Passage is about to open!”

At this moment, the changes above the Heavenly Mechanism Sect could be felt for tens of thousands of miles around. There, it seemed to get brighter, as if some mystical event was about to happen.

In the central plaza of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, an elder with a celestial bearing stood suspended in the air, his eyes slightly closed, sensitively feeling the heaven and earth.

Around him, countless people were eagerly rushing over, including representatives of all the major powers.

Someone ascending was a joyous event for the entire Southern Domain.

People hurried over to witness an Immortal’s elegance firsthand and to snatch up some of Immortal Spirit Qi that surged out from the Ascension Passage!

Before long, the area around the plaza was packed with people.

The elder clasped his fists in all directions, “Today I am ascending. First, I want to thank my unseen junior brother Li Cheng, and second, I want to thank all the fellow Daoists who have come to attend. I shall see you again in the Immortal World!”

As his voice fell, a vast column of light from the sky poured down, enveloping him.

Within the column of light, rich Immortal Spirit Qi diffused, and the intense rule power within it swept through, purifying his body.

So this is what ascension is like, how envious!”

“The powers of heaven and earth are helping him form his Immortal Body; once he ascends, he will enter the Ascension Pool, where his Immortal Body will be completely consolidated, and he will become a Heavenly Immortal.”

Discussions continued with countless admiring gazes.

At this moment, a sense of pride spontaneously welled up in all the disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

At the center of the plaza, the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect gathered, all looking up at the elder ascending.

Li Cheng was also watching when suddenly, he felt something and turned his head to look inconspicuously towards a corner of the plaza, frowning slightly. “Little uncle, what’s wrong?” Mu Xingzhi asked.
