Li Cheng’s question made Ao Qianchi hesitate a bit.

After a few seconds of silence, Ao Qianchi finally said, “It’s a powerful member of the Bone Clan, but I can’t quite identify him. He might be a Bone Clan creature transformed from the skeleton of Blunt Empty Venerable, or otherwise, from the skeleton of a powerful being slain by Blunt Empty

Venerable.”

Li Cheng was astonished. The Blunt Empty Venerable?

“The Blunt Empty Venerable has fallen?” Li Cheng asked curiously, as that was one of the ten great enigmas. If he had fallen, that would truly be a pity.

“Back when Grand Venerable Bai Jie pursued that member of the Bone Clan, he fled to Blunt Empty City, where he knew everything very well. So, we speculate that it is the skeleton of Blunt Empty Venerable that has gained Spiritual Wisdom and became part of the Bone Clan, as no one has ever seen Blunt Empty Venerable, leaving us only to guess.”

“As for the Blunt Empty Venerable, he probably died of old age, or perhaps he is still alive, no one knows for sure,” Ao Qianchi said.

immortal Emperor Tian Yuan nodded, “There was quite a debate over this back then. Most people leaned toward the latter belief, thinking that the Bone Clan member inside was nothing but a transformation from the remains of a powerful being killed by Blunt Empty Venerable, not a transformation of Blunt Empty Venerable’s own remains.”

The era was too remote to investigate.

“The person cultivating the Ten Thousand Traits Stealing the Heavenly

Scripture should be aware, otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent Dead Spirits to probe the reality,” Li Cheng said.

Both nodded in unison. Ao Qianchi said, “That person has taken an interest in

this Bone Clan member; he must understand his origin.

As the conversation turned, a fighting intent surged in Ao Qianchi’s eyes as he smiled, “Your Domain has also made some progress. Want to try it?”

Li Cheng hurriedly shook his head, “Elder, don’t joke. With my meager abilities, how dare I compete with you?”

Without waiting for Ao Qianchi to say more, Li Cheng smiled, “There are matters to attend to at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, I must rush back.

Another day, Elder, I will take my leave!”

Ao Qianchi was dumbfounded, and Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan was equally astonished.

It was just a friendly spar, why refuse?

Last time, he was eager to try, but now that his cultivation was higher and he understood more Laws, he refused?

After snapping out of his daze, Ao Qianchi cracked a smile and, without warning, threw a punch.

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow as his Law field instantly enveloped a thirty-foot radius, constructing over a billionfold gravity from 12,000 Earth Rules assaulting from Ao Qianchi’s right!

Caught off guard by the gravitational pull on his right, Ao Qianchi’s form shifted slightly, while Li Cheng seized the moment to strike, punching towards Ao Qianchi’s chest.

But Ao Qianchi’s response was rapid. He willingly pulled back his punch, ready to take Li Cheng’s with his body to test his combat strength.

Alas, Li Cheng also pulled back his punch, quickly gaining distance from Ao

Qianchi.

Ao Qianchi raised an eyebrow, “You lad, must you be so secretive about your strength?”

Li Cheng dispelled his Law field and said with cupped hands and a smile, “I dare not show my clumsy efforts in front of an expert!”

Ao Qianchi shook his head; this simple probe had already told him about Li

Cheng’s combat power!

“Fine then, next time we meet, you won’t be able to avoid a fight,” Ao Qianchi said, not without irritation.

Li Cheng, with a smile, bid farewell and left with Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan.

Only when Li Cheng had disappeared into the city did Ao Qianchi take a long breath, “What a monster, this lad’s combat power can no longer be measured by realms.”

“With his Law field, even my movements are affected. If I had his assistance, that rat cultivating Ten Thousand Traits Stealing the Heavenly Scripture would taste defeat at my hands even if he showed up!”

Li Cheng deployed Immortal Spirit Step and sped off, while the sound transmission from Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan echoed in his mind, “Not bad at all. Just now, you actually disrupted Ao Qianchi’s attack trajectory. If it had been another Immortal Emperor caught off guard, they probably would have stumbled.”

Li Cheng felt a bit embarrassed, “Elder, please don’t tease me. To fight an Immortal Emperor with my bit of strength? That would indeed be wishing for a swift death.”

“To fight an Immortal Emperor is indeed to seek death, but your domain can affect an Immortal Emperor unexpectedly. In certain critical moments, it can turn the tide of battle,” said Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan.

Li Cheng smiled noncommittally, shifting the topic, “Four of my five disciples have passed the Heaven Tribulation, and I’m afraid their ascension is imminent. Elder, why not pass on the Tianyuan Nine Techniques to me? I’ll pass them down to my disciples!”

“Still eyeing the Tianyuan Nine Techniques? With your Law field, you’re more powerful than any technique. Forget about cultivating any other techniques from now on, focus solely on your Law field, that’s enough to fight across two or three major realms,” said Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan.

Li Cheng was helpless. Had Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan made up his mind not

to pass it on to him?

With four disciples soon to ascend, once they reached the Immortal World, he surely wouldn’t receive the reward of Enlightenment frequency anymore, but he could pass on more to them, and when they were in the same world one day, he would have a massive inflow of Enlightenment frequency.

The Tianyuan Nine Techniques would be an excellent choice; alas, the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had no such intention.

Well then, I’ll go back and take a look. If I have the time, I will craft an Immortal Artifact of Law. Now, with the ten types of laws-metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, space, time, life, death-totalling thirty-one thousand five hundred channels, if I manage to craft it, after their ascension the four of them can continue to comprehend it.

In that case, upon our next meeting, moments of enlightenment would naturally not be few.

As I pondered, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect came into view.

At the Eighteenth Peak, aside from Qi Jingtian, the other four disciples were all present. They were seated in meditation at the summit, listening to Mu Xingzhi explaining something.

After a while, Mu Xingzhi took out a token and handed it to Yun Tianqiong, “This is the Cross-domain Transfer Compass that was sent down from the Immortal World a few days ago; once you arrive in the Immortal World, you can use it to go directly to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.”

“Many thanks, Sect Master senior brother!” Yun Tianqiong stood up to receive

it, smiling as he spoke.

Mu Xingzhi sighed, his gaze shifting towards Lei Yuan, “You, this kid… Well, remember to send my regards to the Ancestor Master.”

Since Lei Yuan had cultivated the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, upon reaching the Immortal World’s Heavenly Mechanism Sect, he would surely be under the special care of the Ancestor Master, and might even be a potential candidate for the position of Sect Master there.

Lei Yuan awkwardly smiled and nodded without a word.

Mu Xingzhi then looked at Yan Yao, “The most unexpected is Junior Sister Yan Yao; in just a few years, she’s ready to ascend. I wonder if little junior uncle can make it back in time to send you off.”

“It’s not just a few years, Sect Master senior brother, I have been cultivating for over a thousand years,” said Yan Yao with a giggle.

Mu Xingzhi couldn’t help but look towards the Seven Mystery Tower, “Thanks to little junior uncle, our Heavenly Mechanism Sect now reigns supreme…” “Dominance isn’t necessarily a good thing; it’s all thanks to the Sect Master’s proper management,” Li Cheng’s voice rang out.

“Master!”

“Little junior uncle!”

All five were overjoyed.

Li Cheng approached with a smile, “All have done quite well. When will you ascend?”

“Master, in ten days!” Yun Tianqiong replied, bowing.

“Good, there’s still time… Huh? Sect Master, how did you become a ten- tribulation Loose Immortal?” Li Cheng curiously looked at Mu Xingzhi.

Mu Xingzhi shrugged helplessly, “If junior uncle returned one day later, I would have already been an eleven-tribulation Loose Immortal. There’s nothing I can do, this little rascal Lei Yuan won’t take over, having no successor, I had to switch to becoming a Loose Immortal.”

Lei Yuan gave a wry smile but didn’t say anything.

“It seems I’ve missed quite a number of exciting events in these sixyears. Sect Master, do tell!” Li Cheng laughed.

Mu Xingzhi’s face lit up, “Indeed, junior uncle, you’ve missed a lot. Heh, do you sense how many Loose Immortals we have in the sect now?” “Seven hundred and twelve, what about it?” Li Cheng asked, puzzled.

Mu Xingzhi’s expression stiffened, and he coughed dryly, “Well, nothing, most of them are guests.”

He wanted to surprise Li Cheng with this fact, yet Li Cheng had already sensed

it and was so calm about it.

Li Cheng nodded, “Is there any news about the Astonished God Tripod and my Ancestor Master?”

At the mention of this, Mu Xingzhi’s expression turned grave, “That’s actually what I wanted to discuss with you. Just five days ago, we heard from the Five Elements Elf Tribe that they saw the Astonished God Tripod flying out of the Land of Chaos, but then it was caught by a giant hand and pulled back!”

Li Cheng, who had just sat down, abruptly stood up.

“Junior uncle, don’t worry, the Black and White Elders had already rushed there through the Transmission Array you left behind as soon as it happened. With their thirty-six tribulation strength, even a Daluo Golden Immortal wouldn’t dare to act rashly. We should hear news soon.”

Thirty-six tribulations?

Li Cheng was somewhat surprised.

“Master, Elder Yan and Elder Yan Bei have also gone. With Grandmaster and the Astonished God Tripod involved, nothing will happen!” Lmg Xi said.

“Oh? Has Yan Bei recovered?” Li Cheng inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. With two Immortal Emperors on their way, his master and the Astonished God Tripod were surely safe.
