Sky-reaching Road?
Upon hearing the excited cry of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, Li Cheng raised an eyebrow and left the Immortal Palace.
Standing on the back of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, Li Cheng stared ahead, his eyes gradually revealing a look of astonishment!
In front of him, a hundred miles away, pieces of long, white jade-like stones floated, forming a staircase leading to the sky!
The entire staircase was enveloped in a powerful force, immune to any approach by Immortal Sense!
Li Cheng’s gaze followed the staircase upward, only to see its end shrouded in a white mist, impenetrable to both sight and Immortal Sense.
“Are you sure this is the Sky-reaching Road?” Li Cheng asked.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle nodded without hesitation, “Of course, is there any need for doubt?”
“Indeed, it is the Sky-reaching Road, crossing it one can reach the Immortal World, look, there are already many people gathered at the foot of the Sky-reaching Road,” the Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan appeared and spoke in a calm voice.
At the lowest step of the staircase, thousands of people had already gathered, but none tried to ascend.
A moment’s thought made it clear, the Kunlun Realm had been resurrected, just like the Immortal World, so why journey to the unfamiliar Immortal World?
In the past, the greatest wish of Loose Immortals was to find the Sky-reaching Road or the Ascend to Immortal Platform to reach the Immortal World and become true Immortals.
But now, those Loose Immortals viewed the Sky-reaching Road with only curiosity, devoid of anticipation.
“Let’s go have a look,” Li Cheng urged the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle with a slight nudge.
With one stride, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle had arrived in front of the Sky-reaching Road.
“It’s so large! I didn’t expect the space where the Sky-reaching Road is located to have been compressed!” Li Cheng muttered in surprise.
Now standing a hundred meters away from the Sky-reaching Road, Li Cheng could see clearly that over a dozen people had started climbing the stairs, but at a mere half a meter tall step, they looked like ants, hardly noticeable without close attention.
Clearly, this was because the space around the staircase was compressed, making it appear of normal size from the outside, but in reality, each step was over a hundred meters high.
“The Sky-reaching Road and the Ascend to Immortal Platform can connect to the Immortal World, which indicates they both inherently possess strong spatial powers, the end of this Sky-reaching Road, in essence, functions like an inter-realm Transmission Array,” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan explained.
Li Cheng nodded in understanding and then said, “The Sky-reaching Road and the Ascend to Immortal Platform, like before, won’t stay in one place for too long, but now that the Kunlun Realm is resurrected, it’s likely that the Sky-reaching Road and the Ascend to Immortal Platform will change as well.”
“It’s highly probable that they’ve all appeared and won’t change their locations anymore.”
Although it was mere speculation, Li Cheng felt this possibility was highly likely!
If so, the exchange between the Kunlun Realm and Immortal World would become very frequent in the future.
Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan fell silent and after a long while, he said, “If that’s the case, the Immortal Court will definitely intervene in the affairs of the Kunlun Realm, and with the methods of the Immortal Court, this is definitely not a good thing.”
As they spoke, the crowd nearby began to stir, “Look, someone is coming down from above! Lower Realm people!”
“Nowadays, it can hardly be called the Lower Realm, so the term ‘Lower Realm People’ is not quite appropriate.”
“It’s a Daluo Golden Immortal, be careful, in case they are an enemy…”
“What’s there to fear? There are two Immortal Kings over there!”
For a moment, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the Daluo Golden Immortal step by step hopping down from the Sky-reaching Road.
One couldn’t fly on the Sky-reaching Road, the steps were a hundred meters high, so jumping was the only option.
After jumping down a few steps, the person evidently realized that he was being watched by the crowd, paused to think for a few seconds, then continued descending.
Eventually, the person finally stepped off the Sky-reaching Road, increasing in size in the eyes of the onlookers and appearing normal.
“This aura…” Li Cheng’s heart stirred, surprisedly sizing up the person.
The man appeared to be only about thirty years old, his facial features distinctly outlined and his appearance handsome. Dressed in a long robe, his attire was simple yet did not lack an air of dignity.
“Cross-realm visitor, come here!” a powerful Immortal King called out from not far away.
The man was merely a Daluo Golden Immortal in terms of cultivation, and not daring to neglect an Immortal King, he promptly bowed in greeting, “I am Baili Changkong; I pay my respects to my senior!”
“I am a resident of the Southern Domain, just returning for a visit,” he continued.
The Immortal King nodded, “How many years have you ascended to the Immortal World?”
Baili Changkong replied with a bow, “One hundred and twenty thousand years!”
A smile appeared on the Immortal King’s face, “One hundred and twenty thousand years and you’ve already stepped into the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal. Such talent is commendable. In that case, you must be carrying quite some treasures with you, I presume?”
At this statement, everyone present frowned.
In front of all these witnesses, was a mighty Immortal King really going to rob a Daluo Golden Immortal?
Wasn’t that the equivalent of an adult robbing a kindergarten child?
Baili Changkong, maintaining his composure, said with a bow, “I am but a mere Daluo Golden Immortal; the items I carry with me could hardly catch a senior’s esteemed eye.”
The Immortal King’s smile grew even wider, “With accumulations over more than a hundred thousand years, there’s no need to be modest; hand over your Storage Ring.”
Li Cheng glanced at the Immortal King and shook his head inwardly, truly shameless!
And to think he’s an Immortal King!
Baili Changkong looked up at the Immortal King with his expression still calm, “May I ask who I have the honor of speaking with?”
” What? Want to remember my name so you can seek revenge in the future? Too bad, I don’t feel like telling you!” the Immortal King replied with a scoff.
Baili Changkong performed a quick calculation and said, “Being from the Kunlun Southern Region myself, if the higher-ups of the Artifact Sect were to learn of how the senior is treating me, they might impose a penalty.”
A member of the Artifact Sect?
Li Cheng observed Baili Changkong and then the Immortal King, and soon understood the situation.
Exposed by Baili Changkong, the Immortal King sneered, “I already said it, hand over the Storage Ring!”
Baili Changkong continued to calculate, “Senior Zhuo has descended to the Lower World for a month and must be rushing to the Southern Domain, I gather? Perhaps, it would be wise for Senior Zhuo to entrust the Storage Ring to Baili Changkong, thus ensuring his safety!”
The onlookers were astounded, Baili Changkong, from the Southern Domain and with a cultivation of Daluo Golden Immortal, could actually divine the origin of an Immortal King?
This was a leap over two major realms!
Furthermore, based on his words, this Immortal King surnamed Zhuo seemed doomed to a violent death!
The Immortal King surnamed Zhuo was stunned.
“Li Cheng, could it be that this Baili Changkong is one of your Heavenly Mechanism Sect?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan sent a message to inquire.
Li Cheng nodded slightly, “That’s right, I sensed him as soon as he emerged. He is practicing the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, a lineage of our Sect Master.”
After pausing, Li Cheng added, “I am normally too lazy to peruse the sect’s records, so I am not sure which generation of Sect Master he is.”
Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan was speechless, knowing that it wasn’t because Li Cheng was lazy, but because he was focused on his cultivation.
With a light cough, “Since he’s an elder from your sect, are you not going to help? He has already mentioned that this surnamed Zhuo is in danger, which likely means he has foreseen someone will intervene.”
Li Cheng smiled, “The Lower Realm People from the Artifact Sect are obviously here about that past incident. It’s just his misfortune to run into me!”
While the two were communicating through messages, the Immortal King named Zhuo collected himself and let out a cold laugh, “Such a charlatan, truly worthy of being called a swindler, you cannot be spared!”
It was he who had initiated the robbery, and yet this charlatan hoped to turn the tables in just a few words?
As he spoke, he took a step forward, “I want to see for myself who has the nerve to take my life!”
