Chapter 248: Chapter 247: The Divine Hand Chooses Its Masteri

Gu Biyue was valiant and stalwart, showing no fear even as the Heaven Tribulation became three times stronger; instead, her fighting spirit soared. “Oh? Interesting, the Heaven Tribulation has tripled in strength, and yet you show not a hint of worry?” the elder was somewhat surprised.

Gu Biyue’s talents did not surpass those of her fellow disciples, but her diligence in cultivation was unparalleled. Moreover, she had actively drawn the Heaven Tribulation to temper herself, so how could she possibly fear it?

If she had been afraid, she would have chosen simply to condense her Immortal Body instead of seeking out the Heaven Tribulation.

Gu Biyue looked at the elder, knowing that he was deliberately provoking her, wishing for her to perish under the Heaven Tribulation, but would she allow him to have his way?

“Why don’t you take a few more steps forward, Senior?” Gu Biyue said, her words laced with challenge.

The elder’s eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that moving forward would make the Heaven Tribulation even stronger. Without a doubt, he too would come under its scrutiny. If that happened, the disturbance would be anything but small and might very likely attract the attention of powerful members from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

That was not the outcome he desired.

With this thought, the elder smiled wryly and flicked his finger. A stream of Immortal Yuan severed Gu Biyue’s arms without any forewarning!

“Heh heh, struggle through your tribulation slowly, old man is leaving!”

Having said that, the elder disappeared from sight.

Gu Biyue’s arms were severed, her face turned white with agony, yet she clenched her teeth tightly, refusing to utter a sound.

With her arms cut off, and the elder’s Immortal Yuan lingering in her wounds, preventing her from stopping the loss of blood, the idea of surviving the triple-strength Heaven Tribulation seemed like a fool’s dream!

Yet, as the Heaven Tribulation had already gathered, it was not going to dissipate just like that. For a moment, a look of despair flashed in Gu Biyue’s eyes.

” Who exactly are you!” Clenching her teeth, Gu Biyue stared at the spot where the elder had stood and asked sternly.

No one responded to her.

Boom!

At that moment, the first bolt of Tribulation Thunder struck, like a falling waterfall completely engulfing her!

Gradually, as the Tribulation Thunder dissipated, Gu Biyue stood within the deep crater on the ground, her eyes full of resolve.

She was enveloped in a veil of earthy yellow light, completely blocking out the Tribulation Thunder.

Simultaneously, in the seventh layer of the Seven Mystery Tower, Li Cheng’s eyes suddenly opened, “Hmm? Little Yue…”

Li Cheng had left life-saving measures in every disciple, which would activate in life-and-death situations. At this moment, the measure within Gu Biyue had been triggered, leaving no doubt that she was in trouble.

The elder had severed Gu Biyue’s arms earlier, but it had not put her life in jeopardy, so the life-saving measure had not activated.

Now, the Tribulation Thunder, which had more than tripled in strength, was beyond what the critically injured Gu Biyue could withstand, thus it had activated.

Li Cheng stood up, “It’s time for me to leave seclusion!”

Half a year had passed in the outside world, yet here, more than a thousand years had elapsed.

In these thousand years, Li Cheng had long since used up all instances of Enlightenment, and with the help of the Fire Mysterious Realm, the Rule of Fire he came to understand had skyrocketed from sixteen thousand to fifty-two thousand.

It was a true qualitative leap.

And with the remaining time, Li Cheng refined two ninth-rank Rising Yuan Immortal Pills and one King-grade Half-God Pill; his Cultivation had already stepped into the Perfect Immortal Emperor Realm.

Indeed, it was time to emerge from seclusion.

With a single step, Li Cheng appeared beside Gu Biyue, and with a casual wave of his hand, the endless storm of tribulation clouds instantly disappeared!

Filled with a sense of injustice, Gu Biyue’s eyes widened in shock – the Heaven Tribulation she was facing had been casually erased by her master?

How powerful had her master become?

“I pay my respects to Master!” Gu Biyue did not dare to delay and hastily paid her respects.

Looking at Gu Biyue’s severed arms, Li Cheng’s brow furrowed, his heart understanding the cause in an instant, “So that’s what happened!”

At Li Cheng’s level of cultivation, with a single thought, many of the beginnings and ends of events became instantly clear.

The young sect master that I had slain during my revival in the Kunlun Realm, it seems his father has come knocking.

“Impressive, not daring to find me but bullying my disciple, does the old man think he has too long a life?” Li Cheng muttered as he looked southward.

The people from the Mysterious Profound Sect who were hiding in the city outside the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, how could they escape Li Cheng’s detection?

“Master, I want to seek revenge by myself!” Gu Biyue spoke up.

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Cheng activated the Life Law, erasing the residual power on Gu Biyue’s wounds and preparing to reattach her severed arms.

“Since they came for your master, let me first restore you,” he said.

No sooner had he spoken than Li Cheng suddenly sensed that in the Fire Mysterious Realm, those two arms were struggling!

Those were the arms of a female deity, suppressed for countless years, motionless all this time, so that mountains had formed around them.

But now, they were moving!

Li Cheng was somewhat taken aback, but after sensing further, the shock on his face grew even greater!

Clearly, those two arms seemed to have found their rightful owner and were trying to break out of the Fire Mysterious Realm.

In that moment, Li Cheng thought of Bu Jingyun’s Qilin Arm.

“Could it be, these divine arms wish to grow on Gu Biyue’s body?” Li Cheng wondered in amazement.

But Gu Biyue hadn’t become immortal yet, she couldn’t possibly bear the weight of two divine arms.

If they were to be revealed, the mere emission of their aura would shatter Gu Biyue into ashes.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Cheng entered the Fire Mysterious Realm and with the movement of his fingers, cast Seal of Heaven after Seal of Heaven!

Before long, seal after seal was imposed by Li Cheng, encasing the divine arms within layers of restrictions.

Unexpectedly, the divine arms did not resist and allowed the seals to be placed upon them.

Otherwise, even with Li Cheng’s status as a Perfect Immortal Emperor and without divine power, it would’ve been impossible for him to successfully seal them.

The reaction of the divine arms also made Li Cheng realize that they indeed intended to acknowledge Gu Biyue as their master, and in order not to harm her, they cooperated with Li Cheng’s Seal of Heaven.

The earthy yellow aura around Gu Biyue hadn’t yet dissipated, and she anxiously watched the bead a few meters away. The master had entered it, why hadn’t he come out yet?

Suddenly, Li Cheng made his move, and in his hands, he was actually holding two fair skinned arms!

“Master… This…”

Gu Biyue looked surprised, followed by suspicion, as she felt a summoning sensation from those two arms.

Li Cheng smiled, “Don’t resist!”

As he spoke, Li Cheng let go, and indeed, the two divine arms floated out and landed on Gu Biyue’s stumps.

From the divine arms, strands of pure power surged, and in an instant, they had completely grown onto Gu Biyue.

Gu Biyue looked at her unfamiliar new arms, tried moving them, and felt no discomfort, but it was still strange because they were not her own arms, no matter how she looked at them.

Their skin was fair like jade, delicate to the touch, and the fingers were slender, yet no matter how beautiful, they weren’t her own!

Li Cheng, however, noticed that the arms were subtly changing, slowly becoming just like another pair of arms on the ground not far away.

Gu Biyue noticed it too and widened her eyes, “Master, is this an immortal artifact?”

Li Cheng shook his head with a smile, “Once it fully integrates with you, it will likely give you some information!”

There was no remnant soul within the divine arms, so there was no need to worry about possession or anything of the sort.

However, the divine arms had apparently given birth to a faint spirituality, which was why they actively chose their master.

Just like the Qilin Arm, searching for a suitable master.
