Chapter 332: Chapter 288 Time Divine Artifact?_2
“So many powerful beings from the divine dynasties had joined forces to break the formation, and just as they were about to succeed, Li Cheng actually claimed the credit for himself?”
Li Cheng didn’t bother to explain, he had already understood that the one hundred and eight Floating Peaks laid out as the foundation of the formation were actually centered around the residence in front of him—the Blunt Empty Residence!
By comprehending the Time Law and the Formation on the Blunt Empty Residence, he unwrapped the layers of fog, so the grand formation miles away also ceased to operate.
If he now took the Blunt Empty Residence for himself, the formation miles away would dissipate.
Not only was the formation integrated with the Time Law, but it also incorporated the Space Law, keeping its core a secret by placing it miles away using a spatial method.
“So it seems, the Blunt Empty Residence is actually the treasure left by that Divine Emperor,” Li Cheng thought to himself.
The formation, designed to distract and deceive, surely contained some treasures within, although none could compare to the Blunt Empty Residence.
Li Cheng had not yet refined the Blunt Empty Residence and was unaware of its functions, but given its incorporation of the Time Law into the formation, it was undoubtedly a Divine Artifact of time.
With this thought, Li Cheng approached the Blunt Empty Residence and reached out to remove it from the stone!
Pop!
Just then, the visible formation outside burst like a bubble!
In the next instant, a chorus of astonished cries rang out!
Li Cheng did not rush to investigate but cautiously wrapped the Blunt Empty Residence in Divine Power, taking advantage of the commotion outside. He retracted the Hidden Spirit Array and the Three Thousand Deadly Array, and with the Array Plate of the Hidden Spirit Array, he stored the Blunt Empty Residence away.
Ao Jiugai looked at Li Cheng with suspicion. At the very moment Li Cheng removed the Blunt Empty Residence, the formation outside shattered—could it be more than a coincidence? Was Li Cheng the one who broke it?
But he couldn’t understand, if the formation was miles away, why would its core be here?
What kind of Array Mastery was required to set such a bizarre formation?
It was akin to an unexpected strategem.
Before he could ponder further, Li Cheng had already collected the Array Plate and arrived at the cave entrance, his Divine Sense penetrating the formation and the waterfall. He saw that once the grand formation was broken, the one hundred and eight Floating Peaks were shattered, with a large amount of earth and rocks falling, revealing a palace in their place!
The palace radiated immense Divine Power and was filled with an aura of ancientness.
“The Blunt Empty Palace! It’s actually the Divine Palace of the Blunt Empty Divine Emperor!” Prince Liu exclaimed, materializing a hundred yards away from the palace.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a streak of light shot out from the palace, attempting to escape into the distance.
However, Prince Liu was a Divine King, and with a casual grab, he caught the streak of light in front of him.
“A high-grade Divine Artifact!”
As everyone clearly saw what was in the streak of light, exclamations continued to erupt.
Yet Prince Liu frowned. A mere high-grade Divine Artifact was far from enough to catch his interest.
Just a high-grade Divine Artifact emerging from the palace of a great Divine Emperor?
There had to be more; this was undoubtedly just the beginning!
Prince Liu thought to himself and with a wave of his sleeve, he declared loudly, “The treasures left by the Blunt Empty Divine Emperor shall go to those fated to have them!”
Upon hearing this, many powerhouses at the scene were overjoyed, interpreting his words as a signal that the Divine Dynasty would not monopolize the Divine Palace.
As expected, Prince Liu retreated, and the strong beings of the Divine Dynasty also withdrew a thousand yards, showing no intention to rob.
The various sects and numerous loose cultivators hesitated no further, flying to positions a thousand yards from the palace, waiting in anticipation.
Whoosh!
Another streak of light flew out, and everyone saw clearly—it was a War Saber!
With Divine Dynasty powerhouses overseeing, many loose cultivators and sect powerhouses did not dare act rashly but released their auras to envelop the War Saber.
The War Saber, possessed of spirituality, knew that escape was impossible. Surrounded by thousands of auras, it would have to choose one to serve as its master.
Indeed, following one aura, the War Saber flew towards a loose cultivator.
“It’s also a high-grade Divine Artifact. Congratulations, fellow cultivator!” Those around congratulated them, their eyes filled with envy.
Of course, there were also many who harbored a trace of greed in their eyes.
With Divine Dynasty powerhouses present, no one dared to fight for the treasure lest they provoke Prince Liu’s wrath. But once the Divine Dynasty powerhouses left, a bloody storm was inevitable.
The cultivator who obtained the War Saber was well aware of the impending danger. Taking advantage of everyone’s anticipation for more treasures emerging from the palace and the suppression by the Divine Dynasty, he quickly left.
As long as he entered any city, he would be safe.
“`
“Li Cheng, aren’t you going to join in the excitement?” Ao Jiugai asked Li Cheng from behind the waterfall.
Li Cheng shook his head. “There won’t be anything too valuable in the Divine Palace.”
With the Blunt Empty Residence in hand, why should I bother with the hustle and bustle of the Divine Palace? It was merely a diversion.
More than a dozen streaks of light flew out, consisting of Divine Artifacts and Divine Pills, all choosing their own masters.
Those who obtained the treasures bowed respectfully to Prince Six before quickly leaving, not daring to linger.
With the emergence of the treasures, there was not the slightest chaos; Prince Six nodded with satisfaction.
The Divine Artifacts now on display ranged from middle to high grade, and the Divine Pills were only level two or three, hardly worth mentioning for the vast Divine Dynasty.
Yet, it was by these means that the Divine Dynasty allowed these sects and Loose Immortals to benefit, undoubtedly establishing a good reputation.
The Kongqian Heaven Dynasty had stood for countless years, not without reason.
After a while, the Divine Palace had flown out hundreds of treasures, but as Li Cheng had said, indeed nothing too precious.
Of course, preciousness is relative; those treasures would be considered priceless to any Heaven God or loose cultivator in the True God Realm!
For the sects, it was hardly icing on the cake.
The Divine Palace had been flying out treasures for two days straight, with countless Divine objects, chiefly Divine Artifacts and Divine Pills, and occasionally scrolls, which were intercepted by Prince Six himself.
Finally, the faint glow emanating from the Divine Palace receded, and no more treasures flew out!
Prince Six stepped into the air towards the Divine Palace, and since no Divine objects were appearing and the aura of the Palace was retracting, it was time to go inside and have a look.
But just at that moment, the Divine Palace suddenly trembled, and a powerful spatial fluctuation emerged around it!
The next second, the entire Divine Palace vanished in the spatial fluctuations!
“Hmm?” A trace of astonishment crossed Prince Six’s eyes, and he quickly bowed in the direction where the Divine Palace had disappeared.
Seeing this, everyone at the scene promptly bowed.
Li Cheng, who had been waiting, also showed surprise in his eyes and murmured, “The Blunt Empty Divine Emperor is still alive; he summoned back the Divine Palace!”
“Is he really the Blunt Empty Venerable?”
Li Cheng fell silent, now just hoping that Prince Six would leave quickly so he could rush back to check the Blunt Empty Residence.
To inspect it here was absolutely not an option; if the aura of the Blunt Empty Residence leaked, it would be unfortunate to attract those powerhouses.
Fortunately, as the Divine Palace disappeared, many people began to leave.
Only when everyone had left did Prince Six say, “Back to the Imperial City!”
A group of Divine Dynasty powerhouses immediately escorted Prince Six away.
However, before departing, Prince Six looked back at the valley where Li Cheng was, a smile in his eyes.
Li Cheng tensed up. Despite the spatial formation between them, could Prince Six have noticed him?
Ao Jiugai also noticed this scene and quickly flew back into Li Cheng’s Storage Ring, “We were careless; that is a Divine King, we should not have been watching, our gaze must have alerted him!”
“And you realize this now? Too late,” said Li Cheng.
Ao Jiugai coughed, “What am I nervous about? I’m just tired from watching, I’m going back to the ring to rest.”
“Enough, if Prince Six had wanted to make a move, he would have done so already,” Li Cheng said with a smile.
The gaze of Prince Six upon leaving clearly indicated that he had detected someone’s presence here; what was uncertain was whether he sensed Li Cheng’s aura or not.
“Cough, I’m already dead; what would it matter if he did strike? At worst, I would simply dissipate. Let’s leave as well!” Ao Jiugai said.
Li Cheng shook his head, “No rush, we’ll talk about it after some time.”
If they left right now, they would surely be intercepted by those sects or Loose Cultivators.
In the following days, Li Cheng stayed in the cave, suppressing the urge to check the Blunt Empty Residence and instead revisiting the enlightenment he had gained over the past three years.
During these days, people frequently flew by, and some even stopped in the valley, yet they did not discover anything unusual behind the waterfall.
Although the Divine Palace had vanished, many people were still unwilling to give up, looking either for those nearby who had obtained treasures, or perhaps hoping to find other treasures that might be lurking around.
Ao Jiugai secretly praised Li Cheng’s caution, as many people had already died nearby these past few days!
Seeing that fewer and fewer people were appearing nearby and that the matter of the Divine Palace’s appearance was settling down.
But Li Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and hurriedly activated the Three Thousand Deadly Array!
