Translator: 549690339 |
The Lizard Man flew backwards for dozens of miles, his originally mocking face replaced with thick horror!
Looking down, he saw his chest’s scales caved in, with countless broken ribs protruding outside his body.
But clearly, he felt no pain, and when he looked up, murderous intent surged,
“No wonder! You hid your cultivation just to ambush me?”
In his view, the damage was caused by a single punch, and anyone who could punch him to such extent must have been concealing their true cultivation level.
Li Cheng stood still, sizing up the Lizard Man. His transformation from a living being to a Dead Spirit hadn’t made him stronger; in fact, it seemed to have weakened him, which shouldn’t be the case for someone with the initial stage of Profound Immortal cultivation.
This punch, carrying only a modest amount of Fist Path Rules, logically shouldn’t have injured him so grievously.
Since becoming a Dead Spirit didn’t make him stronger but weaker, and yet he still chose to do so, it was likely for the purpose of casting curses!
As for curses, Li Cheng didn’t have extensive knowledge. He only knew that Dead Spirits were adept at casting curses, and the best at dispelling them were the Buddhists from the Western Region of Kunlun.
Next in line were the scholars of the Confucianism Path from the Eastern
Region.
There were a myriad of curses, and it was very likely that the Lizard Man intended to slowly turn his target into a Dead Spirit to grow his own forces.
Without waiting for Li Cheng’s response, the Lizard Man dived down, heading straight for his main base, where death energy loomed—it was his home ground.
But would Li Cheng give him that chance? Despite not fearing the death energy, Li Cheng had no desire to rush into a horde of hundreds of thousands of dead bodies. So, invoking the Space Law and Sword Path Rules, he made a cut!
The Void Snow Sword arrived in an instant, carrying fierce sword light that cleaved the Lizard Man in two. The sword light’s momentum didn’t stop there, slicing a bottomless fissure into the earth.
Li Cheng flew over to the corpse of the Lizard Man, only to see that even his Nascent Soul had been split, and a faint fluctuation began to converge slowly – it was the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal!
After a few seconds, the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal surfaced, and Li Cheng collected it before he turned to the fissure in the ground.
Death energy drifted out from the fissure, slowly spreading to the surroundings. If left unchecked, this place would soon become a land of death.
After a moment’s contemplation, Li Cheng still decided to mobilize the Law of Death, extending it deep into the fissure and quickly gathering up the death energy.
This was the territory of the Demon Human Clan, with countless members left behind to guard it. Whether those who ventured out or those who stayed had already been tainted by death energy.
But as long as the source was removed, the trace amounts of death energy within them would eventually be suppressed by their own vitality.
The source was none other than the pile of Dead composed of the Lizard Man and those hundreds of thousands of bodies.
In a short while, the death energy gathered into a bead the size of a fist.
Grasping the bead, Li Cheng’s figure vanished from the spot.
Before leaving, Li Cheng cast a strand of Immortal Fire into the underground cavern, reducing all the bodies to ashes.
Li Cheng didn’t hurry back to the Wood Elf Clan, but instead raced towards the entrance. As long as he left the Ancient Ruins, he would be able to receive the Enlightenment opportunities contributed by his apprentices.
The reason he did this was because Li Cheng was covetous of the Wood Elf
Clan’s Formation!
That grand array, with the Life Divine Tree at its core, couldn’t even be broken by a Golden Immortal, which spoke to its power.
So Li Cheng planned to inquire with Elder Qingfeng, hoping to acquire the Array Immortal Master’s inheritance and elevate his own Array Mastery to Immortal grade.
If possible, it would be best to also bring his Alchemy Dao to Immortal grade.
There was no need for Artifact Refining, as the inheritance from Qi Jingshen was already among the top-tier Refinement Artifact Immortal Masters.
Once the Pill Artifact Array reached Immortal grade, one would be known as an Alchemy Dao Immortal Master, Artifact Immortal Master, and Array Immortal Master, which were further divided into levels one to nine. Qi Jingshen of old was a ninth-level Artifact Immortal Master, already being at the pinnacle of existence.
[Your disciple Yun Tianqiong has grasped a vast amount of Rule Power, with significant gains, awarded 22 Enlightenment opportunities.]
[Your disciple Ling Xi has grasped a vast amount of Rule Power, with significant gains, awarded 24 Enlightenment opportunities.]
[Disciple Qi Jingtian has mastered a great amount of Rule Power, with immense gains, reward: 21 chances for Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Lei Yuan has gained immensely, reward: 7 chances for
Enlightenment.]
[Current remaining chances for Enlightenment: 74 ]
Upon leaving the Ancient Ruins, the notification chime indeed sounded.
Looking at the panel, Li Cheng knew that his first three disciples, because of the iron pot’s three-piece set, relied on the Laws to comprehend various rules, thus his own gains were not small.
But Lei Yuan… that’s settled, he won’t contribute much reward, after all, he didn’t teach him much, and it took nearly two years in the Universe Mystery Tower to contribute just seven times, which is probably due to the increase in cultivation.
“If Qi Jingtian can comprehend rules using a fire-stoking stick, Lei Yuan definitely can, too, but what suits him is the Law of Fate, so does that mean I need to have a moment of Enlightenment with the Law of Fate?” Li Cheng pondered.
This matter is not urgent, now that he has chances for Enlightenment, it’s time to return to the Wood Elf Clan to see if he can find any books or inheritances regarding formations and the Alchemy Dao.
Especially in terms of formations, if he could become an Array Immortal Master and then use Universe Mystery Stones to refine Immortal Artifacts, Li Cheng was confident he could refine an Immortal Artifact far surpassing the Universe Mystery Tower!
By that time, the chances for Enlightenment will welcoming an unending bounty!
Going back to the tree hole, Li Cheng returned to the Ancient Ruins and with two steps, he was already at the Wood Elf Clan.
Elder Qingfeng and the others had just returned to Floating Peak when they saw Li Cheng had come back, causing a bout of astonishment.
“You… I knew it, looks like you went out for a spin and came back; they insisted you used Immortal Spirit Step or something,” Monkey Kongxu said with relief, laughing heartily.
As per Feng Wanli’s words, upon completing the Tribulation Crossing Stage, one would use Immortal Spirit Step, which was very alarming; fortunately, now it seemed that it wasn’t the case.
Li Cheng took out the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal and handed it to Feng Wanli.
Feng Wanli hurriedly shook his head, “Keep this thing yourself, don’t give it to me!”
He was scared; having this thing on him was like a signal to enemies, turning himself into a living target.
Li Cheng then took out another one, “I have one, and now you have one too.” Feng Wanli’s face stiffened; had he been so quick to deal with the other party? If he had dealt with it, why did he keep the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal? Wiry not just destroy it?
Alas!
With no choice, Feng Wanli had to accept this hot potato of a soul seal, reasoning that soon he would be back in the Immortal World, and by then, he could pass it to the next unfortunate Lower Realm person!
The smile on Monkey Kongxu’s face had frozen, “Within such a short time, you went to the Demon Human Clan and slew that embodiment?”
Li Cheng nodded with a smile, “Yes, Immortal Spirit Step is quite convenient.” Monkey Kongxu’s face twitched fiercely as he said seriously, “Indeed… “Benefactor, please come inside!” Elder Qingfeng finally had the chance to speak; the major problem had been resolved, so it was time for a celebration feast!
“Elder, this grand protection array covers tens of thousands of miles, and not even a Golden Immortal can break through it; may I ask, who set it up?” Li Cheng asked while they walked along.
Upon mentioning the grand protection array, Elder Qingfeng became instantly enthusiastic, “To talk about this array, we have to go back to five million years ago, back when the Five Elements Elf Tribe hadn’t yet split apart, everyone lived together, and it was even possible to become dao companions with each other…”
“Ah, Elder Qingfeng, I’ve heard you talk about this many times already, let me tell it. Brother Li Cheng, this was set up by the Five Elements Great Emperor!’ Monkey Kongxu interrupted Elder Qingfeng’s tale outright.
Elder Qingfeng glared at Monkey Kongxu, who quickly lowered his head, “I didn’t say anything, go ahead and continue!”
“Does the Five Elements Great Emperor have any legacy left?” Ye Chenfeng suddenly interjected.
