Chapter 360: Chapter 302 I’m Reporting!_1
A millennium passed in the blink of an eye.
Ao Jiugai’s body had grown a hundred zhang in size, providing ten portions of Original Divine Qi, of which Li Cheng used seven, and together with refining King Grade True God Pills, his cultivation had reached Complete True God a hundred years ago.
He was only a step away from entering the Divine Monarch Realm.
The remaining three portions of Original Divine Qi were naturally prepared for Yin Yue, Duan Shuiliu, and Ao Qing.
After emerging from seclusion, he saw that the Blunt Empty Residence had already expanded to cover two hundred li. Ao Jiugai was, as always, gnawing at the edges of the Chaos zone, but hadn’t unearthed anything in the past millennium.
Ao Qing was still in slumber, taking longer to awaken than Li Cheng anticipated, yet her aura was several times stronger than it had been a thousand years ago, and it seemed she was at a critical moment.
Not wishing to disturb the father and daughter, Li Cheng left the Blunt Empty Residence.
Ten years passed in the outside world with seemingly no change; as Li Cheng walked through the Demon-suppressing Department, it was still quiet.
After strolling around for a moment, Li Cheng sent a message to Kong Lianqing, “When do we depart for the Hundred Dynasties Meeting?”
“You’ve come out of seclusion? I am in the Affairs Hall; we’ll talk when we meet.”
Li Cheng felt puzzled; they were likely to leave in the next few days, so what was Kong Lianqing doing in the Affairs Hall at this time?
Upon arriving at the Affairs Hall, he found Kong Lianqing savoring tea in a side hall.
“Master Li, your timing is perfect. In the past ten years, your merit points have increased by more than sixty thousand, reaching a total of five hundred and ten thousand, meeting the requirements to be promoted to a three-star Demon-suppressing Envoy. You can take on the advancement task anytime.”
The familiar elder behind the counter said with a smile.
Kong Lianqing walked out from the side hall, “Thank you for your Divine Pill!”
“Congratulations. Why not draw your advancement task now? You should know, once you’re promoted to three-star Demon-suppressing Envoy, you’ll be able to enter the Tower of Rare Treasures.”
“Would there be enough time? When do we leave?” Li Cheng asked.
“We set out two days later, and there’s the palace to visit tomorrow. Indeed, there’s no time for tasks, but it doesn’t hurt to accept one in advance,” Kong Lianqing said.
Li Cheng nodded, took out the Demon Suppression Order and handed it to the elder, who placed it on the disc to record something, then smiled, “Master Li, please draw.”
Like the last time, Li Cheng touched the disc, and immediately a light screen appeared on it, listing the task.
“Slay the Dark Dragon Demon Monarch!”
The elder, upon seeing the task pop up, looked astonished, as though it was no simple task.
“Your luck, I really don’t know what to say,” Kong Lianqing shook his head.
Li Cheng glanced at the task description and shrugged indifferently, “Anyway, there’s plenty of time, no rush.”
The Dark Dragon Demon Monarch, a member of the Demon Dragon Clan, was said to possess strength not weaker than the contemporaries of the Dragon Emperor Clan, extremely difficult to deal with.
Three Demon-suppressing Envoys had accepted and failed to complete this task, with two of them perishing at the hands of the Dark Dragon Demon Monarch, and the whereabouts of the third remained unknown.
“By the way, has Wushuang completed his advancement task?” Li Cheng asked the elder.
The elder nodded, “Lord Wushuang finished his advancement task two years ago and is now in the Cultivation Tower, likely to emerge any moment.”
So, it seems the Withered Bone Demon Monarch couldn’t escape after all!
“Your cultivation… Complete True God?” At that moment, Kong Lianqing noticed Li Cheng’s cultivation level, his face showing a look of shock.
When he first met Li Cheng, he was only at the early stage of the Heaven God State, while he himself was at the peak of Heaven God.
Now that he had stepped into the True God Realm, which was quite fast, but Li Cheng was already at Complete True God?
Was this the terrifying part of being an Ascender?
By the time he reached Complete True God, Li Cheng might already be at Complete Divine Monarch or even Divine King?
For a moment, Kong Lianqing felt somewhat disheartened, ‘It seems I need to think of ways to improve my cultivation. After the meeting, it’s time to visit that place.’
Li Cheng nodded slightly; his rapid improvement was in large part due to the Original Divine Qi from Ao Jiugai, followed by the True God Pills and the Blunt Empty Residence.
This was the advantage of having a Time artifact; perhaps once unbeatable enemies became less of a concern after some time spent cultivating within the Time artifact.
If it weren’t for the upcoming Hundred Dynasties Meeting, Li Cheng would have planned to step into the Divine Monarch Realm in one go!
Moreover, with the improvement of his cultivation, he could comprehend even more Laws; Li Cheng also planned to understand the Time and Space Laws to 5%, becoming an envoy of these two Laws.
But there was no longer enough time.
The next day, Li Cheng headed to the palace, where all the attendees of the Hundred Dynasties Meeting were gathering today, and he was certainly expected to be there.
Just as he entered the palace gates, a shout came from behind him, “Demon-suppressing Envoy Li!”
Turning around, Li Cheng hurriedly bowed, “Vice Chairperson!”
The person was the Vice Chairperson Linfeng, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
Linfeng smiled, “Come along, I was just heading to the banquet hall too. I heard you entered for the Pill Artifact Array Three Paths?”
Li Cheng nodded, “I would like the Vice Chairperson to give me some guidance. I don’t know much about the rules of the Hundred Dynasties Meeting.”
“There aren’t many rules for the Pill Artifact Array Three Paths, it’s just a comparison of who refines items of higher quality. There may be millions of participants in each path, and only ten thousand will be taken in the first round, eliminating ninety-nine percent.”
“The second round only takes a hundred, eliminating ninety-nine percent again, leaving those hundred to compete in the final.”
“I’ve looked into it, and with your ability, you should be able to easily seize one of the top spots, so don’t be too nervous,” Linfeng said.
Li Cheng nodded; the rules were indeed simple and crude.
That was fine; it saved time and effort. Once he made a name for himself, his fame would resound throughout the Xuankong Domain.
With his reputation spreading, when people from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect ascended to the Divine Realm in the future, it would be easier for them to find him.
“I will be going with you as well. If there’s anything you don’t understand or need my help with, just say so. You go on in, I’ll take a stroll elsewhere,” Linfeng gestured towards the banquet hall ahead.
