Mu Xingzhi was somewhat bewildered; he had not even entered the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, how could he manage a group where the weakest were all Profound Immortals?
In the eyes of others, he was no different from a mortal; how could they allow him to be in charge?
“We have seen Deputy Cave Master Mu!” The Great Protector led once more, and everyone bowed with fists together.
Although they were of different ranks, everyone was clear that there was no need to bow to Li Cheng and Mu Xingzhi, at least not for the time being.
This time, Mu Xingzhi also returned the salute with his fist, but his heart was filled with a surreal feeling. He couldn’t help but look at Li Cheng, wanting to know how he had managed to make a group of supreme strong beings above
Profound Immortals submit.
But now was not the time to ask such a question.
Suddenly, Mu Xingzhi thought of something and blurted out, “Cave Master, Deputy Cave Masters, are they from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave?
Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders, “Is it strange? You are the Deputy Cave Master of Ten Thousand Evils Cave, aren’t you?”
Mu Xingzhi’s mouth twitched. This… Was this all a game?
Previously he had gathered strong beings from the Southern Domain to prepare for the destruction of Ten Thousand Evils Cave. Now, in the blink of an eye, he himself had become the Deputy Cave Master!
If in the future someone again rallies the powers of the Southern Domain to destroy Ten Thousand Evils Cave, won’t they be after him?
Collecting himself, Mu Xingzhi chuckled, “Junior Master Uncle, rest assured, I know what to do!”
“Of course I am at ease; I called you back precisely for this, and moreover, for the Seven Mystery Tower!” said Li Cheng.
“Please tell me, Junior Master Uncle!”
“The flow of time on the first level of the Seven Mystery Tower is more than ten times that of Taoist Mysterious Sect’s Universe Mystery Tower. With every additional level, it doubles further. The ability alone will give our sect a significant advantage.”
“What’s essential is that it is inscribed with Laws. These Laws converge to inspire the rules of heaven and earth, making it extremely easy to comprehend the Dao within the tower. In time, our sect will surely reclaim the top spot.
“Therefore, I have left the Seven Mystery Tower here so that all sect disciples can enter it to cultivate!”
Having finished speaking, Li Cheng looked at Mu Xingzhi, “With the Sect
Master’s abilities, you will undoubtedly manage it well.”
Mu Xingzhi was already stunned; the Seven Mystery Tower was so powerful?
The Sect’s Treasure!
This was definitely the First Treasure of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
Swallowing hard, Mu Xingzhi asked, “Junior Master Uncle, by telling me all this, does that mean you’re going to ascend?”
Li Cheng was taken aback, “You’re not still hoping for my ascension, are you?”
Mu Xingzhi gave an awkward smile, “Of course, I don’t hope for Junior Master Uncle’s ascension. After all, we all can’t bear to part with Junior Master Uncle.”
“But what?” prompted Li Cheng.
“Heh heh, but it’s been over ten thousand years since anyone from our sect has ascended. Junior Master Uncle, with your profound cultivation, it seems you are the only one likely to succeed in ascending,” Mu Xingzhi said with a smile.
Li Cheng shrugged, “Haven’t you noticed that I’m already a Heavenly Immortal? I’m about to reach the later stages of Heavenly Immortal cultivation.”
Mu Xingzhi’s expression became stiff, “I had already heard of it, but without hearing it from Junior Master Uncle himself, how could I believe it?”
“Now you’ve heard it, so do you believe it?” Li Cheng asked with a smile.
Mu Xingzhi nodded, “Although I don’t know how Junior Master Uncle managed to become an immortal in the Lower World, it’s been more than ten thousand years since anyone ascended. We’ve always suspected that there was an issue with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Immortal World, so we still hope that Junior Master Uncle can go up and take a look!”
Li Cheng pondered. This matter concerned the agreement between Grand Venerable Bai Jie and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Immortal World, and it also involved Ling Xi. Better not to mention it.
When the time comes, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Immortal World will definitely lift their methods, allowing disciples from the Lower World to ascend.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng said with a smile, “Let’s talk about it later. Right now, let’s focus on developing the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!”
At the mention of development, Mu Xingzhi immediately set aside the idea of persuading Junior Master Uncle to ascend, and said somewhat excitedly, “With the Pill Sect and the Hundred Calamities Commerce Union, we now have a great deal of resource exchange. Add to that the Seven Mystery Tower, and it won’t be long before we reclaim the throne of the first place!”
“Indeed, it’s all on you now!”
“Right, arrange for a Secret Land to be placed at the Eighteenth Peak to serve as a stronghold for Ten Thousand Evils Cave,” Li Cheng said.
“I had the same thought! I’ll arrange it right away!”
The following matters no longer required Li Cheng’s attention; Mu Xingzhi would handle them appropriately.
“Young master, would you like to enter for cultivation?” Yan Wuxiang asked in a low voice.
Yan Wuxiang had long been looking forward to the Seven Mystery Tower, but if Ling Xi wouldn’t enter, he wouldn’t dare to either, as he always needed to ensure Ling Xi’s safety.
“Elder Yan, I need to prepare before entering. You go ahead. It’s very safe at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and there’s no need to stay by my side all the time,”
Ling Xi said.
Yan Wuxiang shook his head quickly, “That won’t do. I’m not in a hurry, I will wait for the young master.”
Li Cheng glanced at Yan Wuxiang and felt very satisfied in his heart. After being subdued by the Blood Spirit Master-slave Seal, this guy was still very dedicated!
In such a safe place, he did not leave her side even for a moment.
This was far more professional than his own role as a master, after all, he had a more hands-off approach to discipleship, unlike Yan Wuxiang’s dedication.
” Ling Xi, with your level of cultivation, you can enter the second layer. Go ahead, and if you need anything, just ask the Sect Master to prepare it, as it’s just a mere word for him,” Li Cheng finally said.
Ling Xi covered her mouth with a light laugh, bowed respectfully, “Understood, Master!”
Yan Wuxiang was overjoyed and secretly gave Li Cheng a thumbs-up, eagerly following Ling Xi into the Seven Mystery Tower.
For him, what mattered was the opportunity to comprehend those Laws within the tower; which layer he could access was of little importance!
So, he followed Ling Xi to the second layer.
Seeing Mu Xingzhi giving instructions to the high-ranking members of Ten Thousand Evils Cave, Li Cheng didn’t bother to get involved and stepped towards the Seven Mystery Tower.
He would have to go to the place mentioned by Feng Wanli that contained the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map once Feng Wanli and Qin Wuhun returned, which should be in a few more days.
Upon reaching the seventh layer, Li Cheng glanced at Yan Bei, who was recovering from injuries, and then moved on to a distant place.
One day outside, seven years inside; he decided to cultivate for three cycles of seven, twenty-one years, before resurfacing.
On the verge of entering the latter stages of the tenth layer of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, Li Cheng decided not to use Enlightenment opportunities during those twenty-one years, focusing instead on increasing his level of cultivation!
Using Enlightenment inside the tower would be a total waste, as space inside the Seven Mystery Tower was different from the outside world. What’s the point of Enlightenment here?
So it was best to concentrate on cultivating properly.
Time passed, Li Cheng exhausted his supply of Immortal Stones, his cultivation advanced to the late stage of Heavenly Immortal and then to the peak, approaching completion.
But with no Immortal Stones left, he had to stop.
In the Kunlun Realm, nature’s spiritual energy rarely contained Immortal Qi, which meant that absorbing spiritual energy was no longer very beneficial for Li Cheng; what he needed was Immortal Qi.
“That kid Qi Jingtian has a lot of Immortal Stones at his main body’s location, I’ll have to take some one of these days!” Li Cheng muttered to himself as he
left the Seven Mystery Tower.
The people from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect who went to Tianyuan City had not yet returned, but Feng Wanli and Qin Wuhun had come back ahead of schedule.
They had just obtained Mu Xingzhi’s consent to enter the Seven Mystery Tower when they happened to meet Li Cheng coming out.
Both were taken aback., Feng Wanli asked, “Have you already finished your retreat?”
“What else?” Li Cheng looked at Feng Wanli, “How was your loot from Tianyuan City?”
“No, don’t change the subject. Li Cheng, let’s cultivate for a few days first!” Feng Wanli said.
Li Cheng smirked teasingly, “Don’t you want to find the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map? But Senior Qi does!”
“Many thanks to Master Li for making this happen!” Qin Wuhun was overjoyed. Of course, finding the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map was more important than entering the Seven Mystery Tower to comprehend!
Moreover, the Saintess and others were still waiting there.
