Ye Chenfeng’s expression subtly changed as he intently looked towards the distance, “What is that?”
Feng Wanli followed his gaze and saw, more than ten miles away on a mountain summit, stood many towering ancient trees. Among them, atop the crown of one tree, stood a child with a pair of wings on his back!
The child’s wings were nearly transparent, thin as cicada wings.
“This… He’s not a normal human, right?” Feng Wanli’s eyes widened.
Without thinking, Ye Chenfeng nodded, “The ancient texts mention that the Kunlun Realm once had numerous races. That child must belong to another race. Haven’t you seen other races in the Immortal World?”
Still staring at the child, Feng Wanli said, “I have, many, but never one like this.”
Regaining his composure, Ye Chenfeng glanced at Feng Wanli, “Let’s not disturb the child. His presence here means there must be others in this area. Let’s wait for Li Cheng to awaken before we do anything.”
Feng Wanli nodded in agreement, “I’ve seen the Wing Clan, Feather Clan, Angels, and so on in the Immortal World, all with wings, but I never thought we’d have them in the Kunlun Realm too. Better not to disturb them.” The child looked as if he were carved from jade, impeccable, except for the peculiar set of wings on his back, indistinguishable from humans.
He seemed to be sizing them up too. Seeing that Feng Wanli and the other man showed no signs of action, he just stood there quietly.
“Let’s not stray too far from Li Cheng. He’s having an enlightenment, and we should protect him!” Feng Wanli added.
Days passed by one by one, and Li Cheng continuously remained deep in enlightenment. In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed.
Having only one more enlightenment remaining, Li Cheng had been comprehending the Time Law. Now, he had progressed from eighty paths to two hundred paths!
Last time, it took thirty-nine enlightenments to understand ninety-five different laws, but this time, just twenty attempts yielded one hundred and twenty paths of the Time Law!
Clearly, understanding the laws here was easier.
Upon seeing Li Cheng awake, Feng Wanli immediately said, “Quickly look over there, there’s a strange child who has been watching us for twenty days!” Li Cheng looked in the direction Feng Wanli indicated, but saw nothing. Looking back, Li Cheng gave Feng Wanli a skeptical look, “Waited for twenty days, and your eyes have gone blurry?”
“Strange, he was just there, how come he’s gone? Even my Immortal Sense can’t detect him, that’s impossible!” Feng Wanli furrowed his brows.
After a pause, Feng Wanli said, “Taoist Friend Ye, I’m not spouting nonsense, am I?”
Ye Chenfeng nodded, “Master Li, Taoist Friend Feng speaks the truth. The child seemed around seven or eight years old, with a pair of nearly transparent wings, and at the Golden Core Stage.”
Li Cheng checked with his Immortal Sense, but within the twenty-five thousand li radius, there was only demon beasts, exotic flowers, strange plants, and ancient trees; he didn’t find the person they were talking about.
A person at the Golden Core Stage couldn’t have flown out of the reach of his Immortal Sense so quickly.
“Is it a shape-shifting demon beast? Maybe it has shown its true form. Let’s not bother with it, we should go check out the city.”
Li Cheng said casually as he waved his hand, breaking through the Formation. The Formation vanished as the Time Law converged towards the center of the city.
Li Cheng, sensing this scene, joy surged in his eyes, there was no doubt, the Universe Mystery Stone was in the center of the city!
Eager to reach the center of the city, he saw in the ruins a small rockery about the height of a person. It was not hard to deduce from the surrounding debris that this was once a small pond with a rockery placed in it.
And on the top of this rockery was a basketball-sized Universe Mystery Stone! Feng Wanli and Ye Chenfeng came over, and Feng Wanli raised an eyebrow, “Exaggerated, eh? Such a huge Universe Mystery Stone? When the elders of our sect refined the Universe Mystery Tower, they only used a piece as big as a fingertip!”
Li Cheng smiled, “There’s a layer of time fluctuation covering this Universe Mystery Stone, which ordinary people wouldn’t dare to touch at will, let alone refine it into an Immortal Artifact. Using only that tiny bit is exactly because of this reason.”
As he spoke, Li Cheng wrapped the Universe Mystery Stone with the Time Law and placed it into a Storage Ring on its own.
“Look everywhere, don’t miss anything, pots, pans, ladles, basins,” Li Cheng said.
“Do we even need to look? I’ve checked with my Immortal Sense, and there’s nothing within a hundred meters beneath these ruins,” Feng Wanli said.
Li Cheng shook his head, “Some things can escape the detection of Immortal Sense, have a look and you’ll know!”
Li Cheng, of course, had also used his Immortal Sense to check, and just like Feng Wanli, he hadn’t found anything of value-it seemed there was nothing but ruined walls and rubble.
However, within the ruins, Li Cheng discovered several small Concealing Formations, which were practically invisible. Given the strength of Feng Wanli’s Immortal Sense, it was most likely impossible for him to detect them. The three split up to search.
“Old Ye, do you know how long this city has existed?” Li Cheng asked.
This city had previously been enveloped by the Time Law Formation, so it was unknown how long the formation had engulfed it, making it impossible to determine when it had become a deserted city.
“Master Li, I truly have no idea, the time when my ancestors found it is also hard to verify, especially since even the number of generations that have passed is unclear,” Ye Chenfeng said helplessly.
While they were talking, Li Cheng had already reached one of the Concealing Formations. This Formation covered an area of merely one square meter.
As the Formation was broken by Li Cheng, a half-meter-tall wine jar appeared before his eyes, and apart from that, there was nothing else.
The wine jar had been opened long ago, and it was empty!
Li Cheng was speechless, but thinking that it might carry Laws, he casually picked it up to test it.
Indeed.it could!
This wine jar, just like the three objects given by Ye Chenfeng, could carry Laws!
With this discovery, Li Cheng immediately rushed toward the second Concealing Formation.
“Eh? Li Cheng, you’re moving so fast, did you find some treasure?” Feng Wanli’s voice came.
Ye Chenfeng also became interested and rushed over with Feng Wanli.
They saw that Li Cheng had already broken the second Formation, which was even smaller, covering merely two feet.
And with the breaking of the Formation, a worn porcelain bowl appeared!
The rim of the porcelain bowl was full of chips, clearly something a beggar would use.
“One wine jar, one bowl, let’s continue!”
Li Cheng’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he headed for the next Concealing Formation.
Feng Wanli frowned slightly, “Taoist Friend Ye, am I blind? I really can’t see how that wine jar and bowl are treasures!”
Ye Chenfeng gave an awkward smile, “Taoist Friend Feng, you’ve been an immortal for too long, maybe you’ve forgotten-the antiques with extremely high value in the human world!”
“Oh? Li Cheng collecting these items… Alright, these things have survived countless years without substantial damage. Indeed, they have collectible value to mortals, maybe Li Cheng also fancies this.”
Feng Wanli nodded in understanding.
In the third Formation, there was still a porcelain bowl, equally worn out.
One after another, all the Formations contained porcelain bowls!
Feng Wanli and Ye Chenfeng followed Li Cheng, watching as one worn-out porcelain bowl after another was unearthed, and as Li Cheng joyfully stored them away, both wearing a look of helplessness on their faces.
Who would have thought that Master Li, a renowned figure in the Southern Domain, would fancy such things!
It s the last Formation, let’s not have it be another porcelain bowl.” Li Cheng arrived at the final Formation, the color of anticipation in his eyes undiminished.
