Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend!

Chapter 471: 356

Li Cheng had not seen such a record in ancient texts and was somewhat surprised for a moment.

Coming back to his senses, Li Cheng asked, "Is Uncle Master Dragon Emperor all right?"

"He's fine. He is the Devouring Ancient Dragon, after all; the mere Essence of the Styx River cannot trouble him. As long as we help suppress the overflow of the Stygian waters, he will be able to subdue the Essence of the Styx River quickly," said the Dragon Emperor.

Li Cheng contemplated and conjured the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod with a flip of his hand, plunging it into the lake, "Uncle Master, use this tripod!"

His own cultivation was somewhat lacking; it was better to leave it to the Dragon Emperor. With his cultivation and The rule of Devouring, plus the uniqueness and strength of his bloodline, he would certainly be able to suppress the Essence of the Styx River easily with the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod.

As long as they could control the Essence of the Styx River, the issue with the ancestral land would be resolved.

Before long, the waters of the Styx River quickly receded, along with the Essence of the Styx River, which the Dragon Emperor drew into the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod.

The Dragon Emperor flew out from the large pit below, handed the Dragon God Crown to the Dragon Emperor, and then gave the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod to Li Cheng, "It's solved, I didn't expect all this to be caused by the Essence of the Styx River."

Li Cheng looked inside the tripod, which was empty. The Dragon Emperor had not suppressed the Essence of the Styx River inside the tripod; instead, he had controlled it and then suppressed it with the power of space.

In the palm of the Dragon Emperor, a black bead imprisoned by the power of space appeared before the three of them, the very Essence of the Styx River.

Staring at the Essence of the Styx River for a few seconds, the Dragon Emperor's expression turned grave, "This is not good. The number of Essences of the Styx River born from the Styx is beyond count. If one has appeared within our Dragon Clan, similar occurrences are likely elsewhere."

"If this is not dealt with promptly, the numbers of Dead Spirits will explode, and disaster will surely befall all living beings!"

Saying this, the Dragon Emperor looked towards Li Cheng and the others, "Leave this place immediately, we must relay the message at once so that the Divine Court can take charge, an immediate investigation is required throughout the Divine Realm!"

All three nodded in agreement and left the ancestral land together with the Dragon Emperor.

Exiting the Dragon God Temple, the Dragon Emperor sent out beams of light, spreading the news to various powerhouses.

"This must be the work of those Evil Demons. The chaos in the God Race has just begun, and the Evil Demons have already made their move. The Divine Realm is not going to have peace," Ao Wuzhan sighed.

"Not necessarily, I feel it's very likely the handiwork of the God Race, intended to make the living and Dead Spirits slaughter each other in the Divine Realm," said the Dragon Emperor.

Ao Wuzhan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly; both were plausible explanations.

Li Cheng glanced at the two, "If it truly is the God Race's doing, it implies that someone from the God Race secretly crossed the Outer Great Wall long ago and infiltrated the Divine Realm, scattering the Essence of the Styx River across its expanse."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill crawl up their scalp!

The God Race hiding in the Divine Realm? That was indeed explosive news.

To cross the Great Wall unnoticed and infiltrate the Divine Realm indicated that the intruder had very high cultivation, and was more adept at concealment than the ordinary God Race members.

The Dragon Emperor pondered, "Li Cheng, I shall accompany you to the Confucian Sect; we must ask the Confucius Ancestor to employ the Heaven and Earth Chessboard!"

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard was one of the Confucian Sect's Treasures. The chess pieces in Yun Fuxue's possession were merely imitations from the Immortal World; the true Heaven and Earth Chessboard, a top-tier Law Divine Artifact, resided in the Confucian Sect.

With the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, if the Confucius Ancestor took action personally, nearly anything in the Divine Realm could be calculated.

Li Cheng nodded. The Dragon Clan was no longer in trouble, and Ao Qianchi was in his own Divine World, so he would bring him back to the Eighth Senior Brother.

Wrapped in Divine Power by the Dragon Emperor, Li Cheng saw the scenery change rapidly before his eyes, becoming somewhat indecipherable.

Li Cheng was inwardly astonished, was this the speed of someone at the peak of the Divine Emperor's Realm? He was nowhere near that capability!

Shortly, the two had entered the continent and rapidly returned to the Confucian Sect through the Transmission Array.

"What a rare visitor, Brother Ao, please come in!" As soon as they arrived at the Confucian Sect, the voice of the Confucius Ancestor echoed.

Li Cheng did not follow but instead hurried directly to the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism.

At that moment, Grand Venerable Bai Jie, the Eighth Senior Brother, stood in front of the temple, hands behind his back, staring at the door.

As soon as Li Cheng appeared, Grand Venerable Bai Jie turned around, "You're back so soon?"

Li Cheng smiled, "The task is done!"

Grand Venerable Bai Jie also smiled and nodded, "The elders of the Dragon Clan have gone to the Divine Court, apologizing openly to the entire Divine Realm and also announcing that they will no longer restrict interactions with the Wan Race. You've indeed done well; the Master is very pleased."

"It was all within Father's expectations," Li Cheng said.

"Perhaps," Grand Venerable Bai Jie gestured towards the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism and added, "I have good news for you; all your disciples are cultivating inside!"

"Oh? That is indeed good news; finally, they are all together in the Divine Realm!" Li Cheng's smile grew deeper—it was quicker than he had expected.

He had thought that finding and bringing them back to the Confucian Sect would take many years, but Grand Venerable Bai Jie had been very efficient.

Li Cheng's tone shifted as he looked toward Grand Venerable Bai Jie, "Eighth Senior Brother, I have some good news for you, too!"

"Oh?" Grand Venerable Bai Jie's interest was piqued as he looked toward Li Cheng.

In a wave of Li Cheng's hand, Ao Qianchi, who was seated cross-legged, appeared in front of them. Hovering in front of him was a segment of the Rainbow Divine Vine, and in his hand was a Dragon Soul Fruit; he was cultivating.

The Rainbow Divine Vine had already been ignited, its smoke swirling without dispersing, enveloping Ao Qianchi.

With Li Cheng's cultivation, taking Ao Qianchi to a different place did not wake him.

Grand Venerable Bai Jie's eyes sparkled, "Thank you, Junior Brother. I didn't expect this fellow to procure such a valuable Rainbow Divine Vine, and even a Dragon Soul Fruit. Give him some time, and his achievements are bound to be lofty."
