The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle panicked; judging by what Li Cheng and Yan Bei had taken out, they really intended to eat him!
As a Divine Beast, his whole body was a treasure trove, and whoever captured a Divine Beast would surely be tempted to devour it!
He regretted it, truly he shouldn’t have repeatedly presented himself to them. Now, his fate had overturned!
“Honorable sirs, I just snatched two pieces of Sky Meteorite Stone from you, there’s no need to eat me, right? How about this—I will hand over all the treasures I’ve hoarded, please spare me!”
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle’s tone was pleading; living was so good, who would willingly die?
“Taking Sky Meteorite Stones isn’t the main issue; the point is you insulted the Immortal Emperor!” Li Cheng calmly stated.
“Heh, there’s no need to say any more. No matter what you say, we are resolved to make good use of your physical body!” Yan Bei said playfully.
Biting his teeth, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said, “Don’t be like this. I am more useful alive; I can submit to you and help you open spatial wormholes!”
Li Cheng and Yan Bei exchanged glances. After all their talk and even taking out salt and the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod to intimidate it, wasn’t it to figure out how to subdue it?
A Divine Beast, indeed, as it said, had more value alive.
Changing his tone, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said again, “Both of you gentlemen, one of you is an Immortal Emperor, and one controls a Law field, both rare and powerful beings. Submitting to you is not a loss for me, but, whom should I submit to?”
Yan Bei laughed. “Are you trying to sow discord? Heh, then you’ll be disappointed!”
“I absolutely do not mean that! I truly do not know whom I should submit to,” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle hastily said.
“Your little tricks are useless. Of course, you will submit to my Cave Master, hurry up!” Yan Bei urged.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, of course, had no idea that even Yan Bei had submitted to Li Cheng. How could he possibly compete with Li Cheng for it?
Li Cheng’s lips curved slightly, “Don’t look so reluctant; you’ll know later that you’ve made a great deal.”
What could the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle say? It was either to be eaten or to submit. Not wanting to die, it had no choice but to submit.
As for who had made a great deal, it, a mighty Divine Beast, just sneered…
Just like Yan Bei before, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle offered up half of its soul origin to Li Cheng’s control, becoming thoroughly Li Cheng’s pet.
“Now it’s easy. Opening spatial wormholes is as simple as eating and drinking for the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle,” Yan Bei said with a smile.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle’s eyes widened, then hurriedly nodded, “I will do my utmost!”
In the following half a year, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle felt like it had become a tool, tirelessly opening spatial passages day and night.
With the assistance of Li Cheng and Yan Bei, during this half a year, they extended the spatial passage to the edge of the Central Continent, completely bypassing the Land of Chaos!
“Almost a billion miles; if it were just us two, it would take at least two years. With the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle joining, it’s sped up this much.” Stepping out of the spatial passage, Li Cheng mused.
Ahead, mountains stretched on and on, the air teeming with rich nature’s spiritual energy, comparable to the concentration found around the major sects of the Southern Domain.
Here, though, was merely an ordinary wilderness.
Li Cheng sensed carefully and could not help but be surprised; not only was the nature’s spiritual energy dense here, but the activity of the Laws of heaven and earth was also far greater than in the Southern Domain.
“I really have no idea to what extent the territories occupied by those major sects are rich in nature’s spiritual energy,” Li Cheng remarked.
“Cave Master, now that the spatial wormhole is open, if we craft several Space- Breaking Shuttles specifically for travel within the spatial wormhole, it will greatly enhance the efficiency of our travels,” Yan Bei suggested.
Li Cheng nodded; indeed, now was not the time to venture into the Central Continent.
Firstly, he needed to bring over Mu Xingzhi and the others, letting them establish a base here.
Secondly, he needed to craft some Space-Breaking Shuttles. With the Space- Breaking Shuttles, utilizing the spatial wormholes to cross a billion miles would be exceedingly easy, he estimated it would take about three days.
Having made a decision, Li Cheng said, “You take the Divine Turtle to fetch them. With the Divine Turtle, one day’s time should suffice for a round trip. I’ll start crafting the Space-Breaking Shuttles.”
Yan Bei cupped his fists, “Cave Master, rest assured!”
“Divine Turtle, give me a piece of Sky Meteorite Stone,” Li Cheng said again.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle felt as if its heart had been squeezed by Li Cheng; after submitting to him, it had seen no benefits, had toiled as hard labor for half a year, and now had to contribute a piece of Sky Meteorite Stone…
As he watched the two leave, Li Cheng suddenly turned his gaze to the distance, where a throng of people was approaching in a grand procession, all of them Loose Immortals!
In secret, two Profound Immortals were following.
Li Cheng felt slightly surprised; this was just the edge of the Central Continent, he hadn’t expected to encounter so many powerful beings so soon.
Two Profound Immortals, over thirty Loose Immortals, such power in the Southern Domain, aside from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, other sects would find it difficult to compare.
“Fellow daoist ahead, would you mind stepping aside?”
The leading Loose Immortal called out from several miles away, his voice already carrying over.
Li Cheng looked around; the sky and land were vast — step aside? What did that mean?
“We discovered this spatial wormhole first, you standing there is pointless, we found it yesterday!” another Loose Immortal said.
During this exchange, the crowd had already arrived, enclosing Li Cheng in their midst.
Li Cheng couldn’t help but laugh; the gap in cultivation was too great, and he hadn’t released his aura, which made these people unable to sense his strength. Did they actually think he was easy to bully?
Seeing people talking nonsense with open eyes wasn’t new to Li Cheng, but such shamelessness, this was the first batch he’d encountered.
He had just broken through the spatial wormhole and these people actually had the shamelessness to say they discovered it yesterday.
Since he had just arrived, Li Cheng was looking for an opportunity to inquire about the situation in the Central Continent, so he wasn’t in a rush to take action and simply asked calmly, “May I ask, this place is…?”
“Cut the crap, are you going to scram or not?” another Loose Immortal spoke up, evidently not interested in further conversation with Li Cheng.
Li Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he focused on the person who had spoken out, “Can’t you speak properly?”
“Kid, you should look at…”
Before the man could finish, Li Cheng blew a breath; a vast amount of Immortal Yuan condensed into an arrow and in an instant, turned that person to ash!
After killing that person, Li Cheng looked toward the leader, “You should know how to speak properly, right?”
The leader’s pupils contracted, instinctively backing away as he hastily said, “Two seniors, this is a tough nut to crack!”
As if out of nowhere, two Profound Immortals appeared above everyone, all staring intently at Li Cheng, one of them said, “Who are you? You’ve got guts to kill a member of our Southern Ridge Gang!”
The other one chimed in, “Didn’t you inquire about who dares to touch a member of the Southern Ridge Gang within fifty million miles?”
“I actually want to inquire about that. Why don’t you tell me?”
As Li Cheng spoke, he released his aura without reservation.
Suddenly, everyone was unable to maintain their flying, being pressed down by the powerful aura, and they all fell to the ground; everyone’s complexion changed greatly!
“A Golden Immortal!”
“How could a Golden Immortal appear in this forsaken place?”
The members of the Southern Ridge Gang panicked, having felt the spatial fluctuations and come to check it out, they were overjoyed when they saw the spatial wormhole.
Because a spatial wormhole must connect to another place, and if that place was a treasure land, that would mean a great fortune!
Who would have thought that guarding the entrance to the spatial wormhole would be a Golden Immortal!
Indeed, it was a tough nut, and if things went south, the Southern Ridge Gang might well cease to exist!
