Li Cheng, immersed in enlightenment, hadn’t realized that the numerous Sword Path Rules and Fist Path Rules remnants within the Secret Land were actually surging towards him, all due to Qi Jingtian’s action!
In the Secret Land, those were the rules comprehended by a mighty figure of Qi Jingshen’s level—how vast was their number?
And with the departure of these rules, the Secret Land began to change!
The originally crimson world began to transform back to its normal state; the land spanning a million miles started to shrink, and the heaven and earth grew thicker.
Not far away, Feng Wanli clearly sensed that Sword Dao and Fist Path rules were entering Li Cheng’s body, and having sensed them before in the Secret Land, how could he not know that they were flowing out from there?
“Between these two, who is really the disciple, and who the master? It appears to be the master who is receiving the gift of rules from the disciple.”
He only thought that Qi Jingtian had gained the Secret Land’s recognition and controlled it, but little did he know that the Secret Land was Qi Jingtian’s own body!
The Secret Land was filled with an abundance of Sword Dao and Fist Path rules; Qi Jingtian was unable to control these rules, instead, they became obstacles to his transformation!
Now, these rules, drawn by the strange state of the two, were leaving the Secret Land; thus, the day of Qi Jingtian’s transformation was significantly hastened.
This situation lasted for the better part of the day until no more rules flowed into Li Cheng’s body, at which point Feng Wanli let out a slight sigh of relief.
“Both kinds probably amount to no less than one hundred thousand. With so many rules, even if he doesn’t try to comprehend them, wouldn’t a random punch of his invoke thousands?”
“In that case, a single punch could seriously injure me!”
“Luckily, we reconciled…”
Feng Wanli couldn’t be more grateful for his own wisdom!
Then, Qi Jingtian was the first to awaken, his eyes sparkling with a sharp light, “My body has shrunk by almost half; the day of my transformation is not far off!”
Qi Jingtian was well aware that once his body shrunk to the size of a normal human, he could take on human form.
By that time, though in human form, he would possess the power of the entire Secret Land, becoming a true great demon of heaven and earth!
Only then could he freely transform between human form and his original form, whether it’s presiding over a land of a million miles or moving at will in human shape.
The next day arrived, and Li Cheng awoke from his enlightenment. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a prompt in his mind.
[The period of your disciple Qi Jingtian’s transformation has been greatly shortened; reward: 6 enlightenment opportunities.]
[Current remaining enlightenment opportunities: 24 times.]
Li Cheng looked towards Qi Jingtian, wondering if he had learned something new as his cultivation level had actually advanced from the early stage to the middle stage of the Golden Core Stage.
Moreover, the time for his physical transformation had been reduced—a piece of good news indeed.
Qi Jingtian was meditating and cultivating, so Li Cheng did not disturb him and prepared to continue his enlightenment.
“Li Cheng, I can feel that the Trap Array has weakened. Were you breaking it during your enlightenment?” Feng Wanli eagerly asked as soon as Li Cheng woke up.
Li Cheng nodded, “Don’t force your way through the Formation with brute strength; I’ve solved about half of it, and it can’t hold up against your attacks now.”
Feng Wanli raised an eyebrow, skeptical!
You’re surely bluffing me, trying to bait me into attacking again, so you can enjoy seeing me make a fool of myself.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you!” Feng Wanli said emphatically, carefully watching Li Cheng’s reaction.
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow—what was with this guy, suddenly being so assertive? What’s the big deal?
And seeing Li Cheng’s reaction, Feng Wanli felt certain of his own speculation!
‘Indeed, he’s trying to bluff me!’
“There’s no need to continue breaking the rest; I have managed to open a gap in the Formation. Do you want to leave now?” Li Cheng asked.
Feng Wanli nodded, “After we leave, would you come with me to visit the Taoist Mysterious Sect as a guest? My Taoist Mysterious Sect will surely welcome you with the highest honors!”
“Do I look idle to you?” Li Cheng responded, speechless.
Feng Wanli shrugged his shoulders, “With your cultivation, you don’t even need to go into seclusion, you can face the tribulation at any time, so you must be quite idle.”
Li Cheng didn’t want to explain and instead asked, “It must be tough to get by in the Immortal World, right?”
Feng Wanli was stunned, then shook his head and sighed quietly, “Look at me, here I am enjoying the worship of thousands of disciples from the sect, but in the Immortal World… I’m just an ordinary disciple, tough, tough, tough!”
Li Cheng smiled, see, how foresighted he was!
Ascending to the Immortal World was like asking for trouble.
“Li Cheng, seriously, come visit the Taoist Mysterious Sect! It won’t be long before 1 have to return to the Immortal World, and it’ll be difficult to meet you then,” Feng Wanli said earnestly.
Li Cheng looked at Feng Wanli with suspicion, did he know that he didn’t want to ascend?
“Look, don’t stare at me like that, the Immortal World is vast and boundless, and your Heavenly Mechanism Sect is hidden from the world. Once you’re in the Immortal World, it’ll be hard for us to run into each other!” Feng Wanli, thinking that Li Cheng might misunderstand something, quickly explained.
Li Cheng became curious, “The Heavenly Mechanism Sect keeps to itself in the Immortal World? What happened?”
Feng Wanli shook his head, “With my status… how would I know?”
Indeed, in the Immortal World, he was just an ordinary disciple.
Pausing for a moment, Li Cheng asked again, “How did you descend to the Lower World? Sky-reaching Road? Ascend to Immortal Platform?”
“Neither, if a Heavenly Immortal descends through the Sky-reaching Road or the Ascend to Immortal Platform, it’s certain death. The only way is through the Ascension Passage, and moreover, the Sky-reaching Road and Ascend to Immortal Platform of the Kunlun Realm have long since vanished.”
Li Cheng looked at Feng Wanli with doubt, “But I’ve heard that the Ascension Passage can’t be traversed in reverse? Going against it leads to certain death.”
Feng Wanli smiled, “If your cultivation surpasses that of a Heavenly Immortal, indeed it’s impossible, but for a Heavenly Immortal, it’s possible. Think about it, upon ascending, you become a Heavenly Immortal, right? So why would the Ascension Passage restrict a Heavenly Immortal?”
Li Cheng understood, no wonder no predecessors from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had descended to the Lower World in over ten thousand years; it was because there were no juniors ascending!
Without juniors ascending, there’s no way to open the Ascension Passage, so how could the predecessors descend?
After all, both the Sky-reaching Road and Ascend to Immortal Platform are nowhere to be found.
Using another sect’s Ascension Passage?
Each sect’s cultivation techniques are different; the Ascension Passage would reject them, making borrowing it impossible.
“I was just lucky that a junior who had cultivated the same technique as I had ascended, and 1 could take that opportunity to come down, or else where would I have had the chance?” said Feng Wanli again.
Hearing this, Li Cheng realized, to use the Ascension Passage, one still needed to find a junior who had practiced the same cultivation technique?
Seeing what Li Cheng was thinking, Feng Wanli explained, “Different cultivation techniques mean different auras and forces within the Ascension Passage, and forcibly entering would only cause the passage to collapse, killing both parties.”
Li Cheng shook his head, there was no point delving into this; after all, he wasn’t ascending, so why bother studying it?
“How will you return?”
“The same way, through the Ascension Passage.”
Alright then, however you get back, just hurry up and leave. Don’t stay in the Lower World living off others, leading an entire sect’s people to become so full of themselves.
Such a calamity for the sect.
Fortunately, it’s the Taoist Mysterious Sect that’s being afflicted, not the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
“For going to the Immortal World through the Ascension Passage, do you also need to find someone who has practiced the same cultivation technique?” Li Cheng asked.
Feng Wanli nodded, “That’s right, otherwise you’ll end up like the Loose Immortals, searching for the Sky-reaching Road or the Ascend to Immortal Platform.”
Li Cheng inwardly sighed; both were among the ten great sects, yet the difference between the first and the last was vast, it seemed that there were always people ascending from the other sects.
“I sincerely invite you to come and visit the Taoist Mysterious Sect, you’re about to face the tribulation and ascend soon, and it would be good timing for me to tell you about the Immortal World,” Feng Wanli added.
Li Cheng still shook his head, and then a thought struck him, “Have you ever heard of the ‘Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture’?”
