Chapter 268: Chapter 258 Rule of Fire Complete_2
The roar erupted from the imprint.
Li Cheng, with a face full of scorn, said, “Do you think I’m easily frightened?”
Under the influence of Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame, how could this wisp of a soul seal possibly withstand it?
The soul seal transformed into the figure of the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor, incredibly ethereal, his face full of rage, “Boy, you will regret this!”
Li Cheng activated the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame, and in an instant, the ethereal figure of the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor dissipated.
At the same time, in the Immortal World, the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, a surge of murderous intent in his gaze, “To steal the Judge Pen from this Emperor, is to seek death!”
Having erased the soul seal, the Judge Pen became an unclaimed object. Li Cheng only intended to simply refine it because, in the future, once he had comprehended enough Laws, he was fully capable of crafting an even more powerful Law Immortal Artifact by himself.
Time passed day by day, and the Southern Domain became increasingly bustling.
It was as if the strong from nearly half of the Kunlun Realm had all rushed over.
At first, many cultivators were merely curious about the array that was rumored to be the best in the Southern Domain; but once they arrived before the great array, they were completely captivated and sought every means to remain within it.
There were countless Dongtian Blessed Lands in the Kunlun Realm, but when compared with the great array of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, they all fell far short.
Mu Xingzhi seized the opportunity well, recruiting a large number of Immortal Realm powerhouses and drawing in countless extraordinary geniuses.
Of course, Li Cheng, who was in closed-door cultivation, knew nothing of these matters.
Having simply refined the Judge Pen, Li Cheng sat cross-legged in a secret chamber on the seventh floor of the Seven Mystery Tower, consumed the Enlightenment Divine Fruit, and continued to comprehend the Law of Fire.
Now with 52,000 Laws of Fire at his disposal, coupled with the convenience of the Fire Mysterious Realm and no need to worry about the safety of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Li Cheng was resolved not to emerge from seclusion until he comprehended all 129,600 Laws of Fire!
As he ingested the Enlightenment Divine Fruit, Li Cheng’s mind became incredibly clear, and all kinds of Laws appeared very distinct.
“This effect is comparable to one-tenth or one-twentieth of enlightenment, which is quite good!”
Li Cheng mumbled to himself with satisfaction. Opportunities for enlightenment were rare, but Enlightenment Divine Fruits were plentiful.
Moreover, now that the Order of Heaven and Earth inside the great array was active, it was easier to comprehend Laws. Adding to that the Enlightenment Divine Fruit, the effects were naturally remarkable.
The most important thing was that the effect of the Enlightenment Divine Fruit lasted for a very long time, almost half a month.
One could easily comprehend a hundred or two hundred Laws with a single fruit.
Unbeknownst to him, Li Cheng had already consumed more than four hundred fruits.
However, Li Cheng discovered that as the Laws of Fire he comprehended exceeded 60,000, the influence of the time flow speed within the Seven Mystery Tower on him began to weaken!
According to the previous flow of time, only three days would pass in the outside world, but now, having consumed these four hundred plus Enlightenment Divine Fruits to comprehend the Laws, more than eight years had already passed outside!
Li Cheng opened his eyes, having fully comprehended the Laws of Fire contained within the Fire Mysterious Realm, all 129,600 Laws crystal clear in his mind.
According to Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan’s speculation, comprehending 129,600 of a certain Law would allow one to touch the opportunity to become a deity. However, Li Cheng did not feel like he was about to break through.
Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan came over, his figure nearly solidifying, but he still did not consider restoring his physical body.
“Have you completed the Law of Fire? How does it feel?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan asked eagerly.
Li Cheng shook his head, “It’s complete, but I don’t feel much; if I have to say, I can now effortlessly control the fire powers between heaven and earth.”
“Then have you perceived how to become a deity?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan’s face showed even more anticipation.
Li Cheng shook his head again and said firmly, “No!”
The look of anticipation on Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan’s face instantly faded, and he pondered, “That’s not right. Logically, reaching completion in a certain Law should allow one to transcend this world and become a deity.”
Li Cheng smiled, “What’s the rush? Let’s take it slow!”
“But that’s godhood… I mean, you don’t want to become a god, do you? The Three-way Abyss has a passage to the Divine Realm. Don’t you want to check out the Divine Realm?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan said in astonishment.
Li Cheng shrugged, “A god’s lifespan is 1.3 billion years; why wouldn’t I want that? I suppose the time just isn’t right!”
That was just an excuse for Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan; in truth, Li Cheng was also rejecting the idea inside.
With his current strength, combined with the Pen of Life and Death, he feared there were few rivals in the Immortal World and Kunlun Realm, but in the Divine Realm, well, that would be a different story.
Isn’t it good to be a big shot here, just as you originally thought? Why bother going to the Divine Realm to be an ant?
However, now aside from comprehending other Laws, it seems my strength can’t be improved any further.
The Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture is complete up to the eighteenth layer, but I can’t step into the next level. It feels as though I’m being restrained by something intangible.
While pondering, Li Cheng suddenly had a feeling that if he wanted to become a deity, he would probably need to go to the Three-way Abyss to find that Divine Path.
As soon as this thought emerged, Li Cheng suppressed it.
Not in a hurry!
“The time is not right? Perhaps that’s true. There are shortcomings in heaven and earth, and without relying on the treasures left by my predecessors, it’s impossible to comprehend complete Laws. I suspect that even if I comprehended them, something would still be missing,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan murmured.
Li Cheng stood up, “The time flow rate of the Seven Mystery Tower is useless to me now. It must be because the Laws contained within the tower are not as numerous as those I have comprehended.”
“What? Planning to refine another Time Immortal Artifact?”
“It’s futile. I only comprehend four thousand Time Laws. No matter how I refine, it will not be effective for me unless I achieve completeness in the Time Laws.”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s eyes brightened, “So you want to seek the legacy of the Space-Time Divine Ancestor? I suspect that his legacy, much like the Fire Mysterious Realm and the Judge Pen, contains complete Time and Space Laws.”
Li Cheng pondered. Indeed, obtaining the Space-Time Divine Ancestor’s legacy would be excellent, but it might be in the ancient battlefield. After all, the ancient battlefield is likely the abode of the Chaos Clan, and it’s not easy to enter.
If one were to use the Tower of Chaos’s spire for transmission, there’s a high probability of being sent to another world.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng shook his head, “I have yet to comprehend the Laws of Life and Death within the Judge Pen. First, I’ll go out for some fresh air before comprehending these two Laws.”
Without an against-the-heavens Time Immortal Artifact like the Seven Mystery Tower to assist him, Li Cheng felt distressed at the thought of spending years, even decades in closed-door cultivation.
If Immortal Emperor Tianyuan knew Li Cheng’s thoughts, he would surely be frustrated to the point of collapse, as reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm means every cultivation retreat lasts tens of thousands of years.
And yet Li Cheng disliked spending years, even decades in retreat?
“Well, it’s true that continuous retreat can lead to problems.” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan didn’t oppose the idea.
Stepping out of the Seven Mystery Tower, Li Cheng was inwardly astounded, “You see, I told you. The Sect Master would handle everything perfectly. Now inside the grand formation, there are hundreds of millions of Immortal Realm powerhouses, and thousands of Immortal Emperors!”
Feeling the number of powerful beings within the formation, Li Cheng couldn’t help sighing; it had only been eight years!
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, then said with suspicion, “It’s surprising that the Immortal Court can stand by and watch the Heavenly Mechanism Sect become powerful.”
Normally, the Immortal Court wouldn’t allow any force to grow too large, just as one would not allow others to sleep soundly by their side.
Not to mention the Immortal Court, even the mortal royal courts are the same.
“The Sect Master hasn’t come looking for me during these years of my retreat, indicating that the Heavenly Mechanism Sect hasn’t encountered any trouble. It’s indeed a bit abnormal,” Li Cheng agreed with a nod.
Although it’s good news, the situation is also unusually strange.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, “The Immortal Court’s reach must be extended to the Kunlun Realm by now. They are probably entangled with more important matters. Perhaps you could find out more by asking Tianji Zi.”
Li Cheng shook his head, about to speak, when suddenly, a vision of a long river appeared before him!
The river flowed in the endless void, its beginning and end both out of sight, its surface tumultuous, surging and roaring.
It was the Long River of Time!
But in the blink of an eye, the Long River of Time vanished, and Li Cheng’s vision returned to normal.
“What’s going on?” Li Cheng frowned. Why did he suddenly see the Long River of Time?
“What?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan looked at Li Cheng, puzzled.
Li Cheng’s frown deepened, “I suddenly saw the Long River of Time!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan chuckled, “When one achieves completeness in a certain Law series, it’s not strange to occasionally see the Long River of Time. It is said that mighty deities can see the Long River of Time just with their eyes and can even traverse space-time and act through it.”
Hearing Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s words, Li Cheng suddenly rose into the air and stared intently towards the north, “I understand now, the Long River of Time has experienced fluctuations!”
“The fluctuation has influenced the Order of Heaven and Earth, and since my Rule of Fire is complete, that’s why I sensed it!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan followed, “You mean someone has caused the Long River of Time to fluctuate?”
