Li Cheng clicked his tongue incessantly. The Immortal Emperor, that’s the highest existence in the Immortal World!
To have such an existence submit to oneself?
One must admit, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was quite daring with his ideas!
Beside him, Ling Xi’s eyes shone brightly, “If Master could get the protection of an Immortal Emperor, that would be fantastic!”
Li Cheng smiled without saying much, but he was well aware that this was like asking a being at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage to submit to a mortal. Was that possible?
Yan Wuxiang had already begun to help the statue to dispel the Immortal Rampart Technique, and under the surge of his vast Immortal Yuan, the statue slowly began to recover.
Four hours passed, and Yan Wuxiang withdrew his Immortal Yuan, “He’s severely injured, his Immortal Body is almost destroyed, and his Immortal Infant was nearly dispersed. Tian Yuan, you really did a number on him!”
“Nothing much, just a punch. If it weren’t for the other Immortal Emperors joining hands with him at that time, his soul would have been scattered,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said calmly.
Yan Wuxiang sighed to himself. He was well aware of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s strength. That was why he had secretly convinced those eighteen Immortal Emperors back then. He dared not make a move himself, preparing to reap the fisherman’s benefits instead.
But unexpectedly, after those five Immortal Emperors self-detonated their Immortal Infants, he could no longer locate Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, let alone obtain the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture.
Only when the news spread that Tianyuan City was about to open did he order people to go in and look for Yan Bei, who had used the Immortal Rampart Technique.
Because he felt that Yan Bei might have already obtained the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture.
But upon seeing Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, he realized that Yan Bei could never have succeeded.
And now that everyone had become his own, it was naturally time to let go of the past.
“Yan Bei, good to see you awake!” Yan Wuxiang said.
Yan Bei, who sat cross-legged on the ground with a pale face, slowly opened his eyes, “Immortal Emperor Wuxiang, how long has it been? Was it successful?”
“Heh heh, a hundred thousand years, and a failure. I woke you to ask whether you prefer the path of life or death?” Yan Wuxiang said with a laugh.
Yan Bei looked to be only in his late twenties. His pale face couldn’t hide his handsome features. Upon hearing this, a look of anger appeared on his face, “You woke me up to set me up?”
“Heh heh, you could see it that way. So tell me, the path of life or death? Don’t think about self-detonating. With your current condition, I could suppress you with a flick of my wrist,” Yan Wuxiang said.
Yan Bei stared intently at Yan Wuxiang, “What is the path of life?”
Yan Wuxiang turned his gaze towards Li Cheng, “Submit to him! That’s the only way!”
Yan Bei also turned to look, sizing up Li Cheng thoroughly and said with raised eyebrows, “Sword, fist, arrow—such fearsome power of Laws, and even, fluctuations of the Law!”
” Who are you? To think that someone in the Heavenly Immortal Realm could possess the Power of Laws?”
Li Cheng was also assessing Yan Bei, and he clasped his hands together and said, “Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Li Cheng!”
Yan Bei’s expression changed slightly, “The successor of Tianji Zi? I understand now!”
Then, Yan Bei caught sight of the ethereal form of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan and became tense.
But after confirming that all that was left of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was a Remnant Soul, he slightly relaxed, “Immortal Emperor Tianyuan is not invincible after all. It seems they managed to seriously injure you by self-detonating their Immortal Infants.”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan scoffed, “You eighteen were at least in the late stages of being an Immortal Emperor, with four at the peak and Complete stages, while I was merely at the early stage of being an Immortal Emperor. And you are proud of this?”
“If my Cultivation were to reach the middle stage of being an Immortal Emperor, even if all of you self-detonated together, I would have nothing to fear.”
Yan Bei fell silent. He had experienced the strength of Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan firsthand!
“Haha, enough talk. Yan Bei, let me be honest with you, I am now on the same side as Tianyuan. So, I’m giving you a chance to choose!”
“If you do not choose the path of life, then I can only personally send you on your way!” Yan Wuxiang said.
Yan Bei looked at Yan Wuxiang with a playful expression, “You are quite something, first stabbing Tianyuan in the back and now me?”
Yan Wuxiang’s mouth twitched, ‘mentioning the pot that doesn’t boil!’
With a change of tone, Yan Bei smiled and said, “Yan Wuxiang, before descending to the Lower World, I sought out Tianji Zi. Do you know what heavenly secret he divined for me?”
Yan Wuxiang shrugged his shoulders, “You said that Tianji Zi told you your opportunity was in the Kunlun Realm, which is why you followed us down to the Lower World. Before making our move back then, you even said this must be your opportunity!”
The smile faded from Yan Bei’s face as he nodded, “Indeed, but it’s a pity I was wrong. Only now do I realize, my opportunity has come!”
Having said that, Yan Bei stood up with some difficulty and bowed deeply to Li Cheng, “Li Cheng, I can submit to you and follow your orders, but I will never be your servant!”
Li Cheng’s eyebrows lifted imperceptibly; just moments ago he thought it impossible, yet now the man had submitted?
This Immortal Emperor, where was his backbone? His pride?
“Submission is good, hehe. Oath of heaven? Or shall you hand over your soul origin?” Yan Wuxiang taunted.
Yan Bei was straightforward enough to endure the pain as he separated half of his soul origin and handed it to Li Cheng, “If you agree to my terms, accept it. If not, then destroy it directly!”
With this half of the soul origin in hand, life and death were in his grasp; if it were destroyed, Yan Bei would undoubtedly die.
His intent was clear: he would take Li Cheng’s orders, but he would not acknowledge the status of a servant.
If Li Cheng did not agree, then he could use the soul origin to kill him!
Li Cheng’s expression remained calm as he took the soul origin and nodded, “No objections.”
He was jesting; since the man was willing to submit, of course, he deserved to keep some dignity. After all, he was an Immortal Emperor. Pushed into a corner, a fight to the death would be no fun.
After all, he was not the Grand Venerable Bai Jie, a peerless powerhouse who could effortlessly leave behind a Blood Spirit Master-slave Seal, making the target willingly become a servant.
As for the heavenly secret divined by Tianji Zi he mentioned, it might have been just a pretext he found, so as not to embarrass himself.
Look, you are the great opportunity Tianji Zi spoke of, so that’s why I submit to you, not because I was threatened with death.
That way, even if the word got out, his reputation would at least sound a bit better.
Seeing that Li Cheng accepted the soul origin, Yan Bei slumped down, “I won’t be able to take orders from you for a short time; hit by a punch from Tian Yuan, I won’t recover for thousands of years without healing!”
Li Cheng’s mouth curled slightly, then returned to calm as he took out a drop of Life Immortal Liquid, “Elder Yan, drink this. I will send you to a place to recover.”
The Life Immortal Liquid hovered in Li Cheng’s palm. Although it was just the size of a small droplet, a vast life essence pervaded the air the moment it appeared.
Just a whiff seemed to cleanse the whole body.
“Life Divine Tree’s Life Immortal Liquid? This is a treasure hard to find even in the Immortal World!” Yan Wuxiang licked his lips and said.
Yan Bei glanced at Yan Wuxiang and immediately sucked the Life Immortal Liquid into his mouth, “Thankyou!”
Li Cheng nodded, then took out the Seven Mystery Tower, “Elder Yan, do not resist; I’ll send you in.”
Seven years inside the seventh level, but in the outside world, it’s just one day. Coupled with his consumption of the Life Immortal Liquid and the augmentation of the Life Law within the tower, the time needed for recovery would surely be cut by more than half.
Maybe in just one or two years, he could fully recover!
As Yan Bei disappeared from sight, Yan Wuxiang stared intently at the Seven Mystery Tower, “This Immortal Tower is not simple, Li… Cave Master, when my little master enters it for cultivation, may I accompany him?”
Being an Immortal Emperor, how keenly could he sense laws? He certainly sensed the laws contained in the Seven Mystery Tower!
Below the level of an Immortal Emperor, one struggles to comprehend the rules. Once an Immortal Emperor, one must begin to condense those rules into laws. In the Seven Mystery Tower, where one could directly confront the laws, Yan Wuxiang naturally looked forward to it immensely!
“I plan to place the Seven Mystery Tower in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. As long as one is our own, there will be no barriers,” Li Cheng said.
Yan Wuxiang looked at Li Cheng with some surprise, “Such a treasure… Admirable! Admirable!”
