Chapter 390: Chapter 316 Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area_2
Moreover, it was obviously the territory of the Demon Race, which made it even more difficult to find.
After all, very few people would set foot in the Demon Race’s territory.
“Or shall we seek advice from Mansion Venerable? Mansion Venerable often ventures into the Demon Race’s territory and is likely to know,” Dan Chi said.
There was no other choice but to do so for now.
Hopefully, Blunt Empty Venerable knows!
“That is a good idea. Where is Mansion Venerable? I will go find him immediately,” Li Cheng said, looking at Dan Chi.
“Dan Zui and I will accompany you. It is inevitable that we run into the Demon Race on the way, and that’s not safe.”
There was a sense of anticipation in Dan Chi’s expression, as if he was very much looking forward to accompanying Li Cheng.
Li Cheng clasped his fists, “Thank you!”
A hundred billion miles to the west of Fu City, Blunt Empty Venerable stood shoulder to shoulder with a graceful middle-aged man, looking out towards the west.
The graceful middle-aged man exuded a vivacious spirit, with an aura of warlike eagerness, “At this rate, in less than three years, we can drive these Evil Demons back to their lair. What else are you concerned about?”
Blunt Empty Venerable’s face bore a look of worry. He shook his head and sighed, “Evil Demons are determined to get Li Cheng, or more precisely, determined to get a hold of Li Cheng’s Alchemy Dao. They won’t give up so easily. Besides… I have a bad premonition.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Blunt Empty Venerable turned to look to the east, “See, here comes Li Cheng!”
Li Cheng, accompanied by Dan Chi and Dan Zui, approached rapidly. This was exactly what Blunt Empty Venerable had been worried about—what if the Evil Demons saw that Li Cheng had come and desperately launched an attack?
“Mansion Venerable Sir, Supreme Li has come seeking you for a matter!” Dan Chi said with a light cough.
He was afraid that Blunt Empty Venerable would blame him, so he straightforwardly brought up Li Cheng. By doing so, Blunt Empty Venerable would presumably have less to say on the matter.
Li Cheng gave a salutation to Blunt Empty Venerable and was about to ask his question when the graceful middle-aged man spoke up first, “Are you Li Cheng?”
Li Cheng looked at the graceful middle-aged man and distinctly sensed an extremely powerful dragon’s might emanating from him!
“Dragon Emperor Senior?” Li Cheng guessed the identity of the graceful middle-aged man and asked tentatively.
“Haha, yes, it’s me. Blunt Empty mentioned that a remarkable young fellow had come. At last, we meet!” the Dragon Emperor laughed heartily.
Legends of the Dragon Emperor staying in the Kunlun Realm were few, but to be counted among the top ten remarkable figures, he must be extraordinary.
Every one of the top ten remarkable figures is someone whom countless cultivators in later generations look up to.
Li Cheng was no exception and was filled with admiration for the top ten remarkable figures.
Looking at Li Cheng, Blunt Empty Venerable asked, “Why travel all this way? Is it related to that Time Illusion?”
It was obvious he also witnessed the situation in the illusion, prompting such a question.
Li Cheng nodded. As he lifted his hand, Divine Power surged, conjuring up the image of that piece of Demon Land, “Senior, I wish to inquire if you recognize this place?”
Blunt Empty Venerable examined the image, his face showing confusion for a long time before he finally shook his head slightly, “I have no impression of it. How about I issue an order to have everyone help look into it? Perhaps someone knows.”
The Dragon Emperor chimed in, jokingly, “Why don’t you ask me? I know!”
A glimmer of hope shone in Li Cheng’s eyes, “Dragon Emperor Senior, please tell me. This matter is extremely important to me!”
The Dragon Emperor looked somewhat troubled, “You don’t plan on breaking into this place, do you? It’s very dangerous. You could say it’s a matter of life and death!”
Li Cheng did not hesitate, “I am just going to take a look, and I have measures to save my life. I should be fine.”
The Dragon Emperor looked at Blunt Empty Venerable, but the latter showed no indication of intervention, adopting an attitude that meant it was the Dragon Emperor’s call.
“Alright, that is the Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area!”
“Legend has it that the Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area was transformed by a Divine Dragon who specialized in the Way of Life, but later was invaded and taken over by the Blood Demon Clan’s strong warriors, who remodeled it into a Demon Domain. Nowadays it is a forbidden ground of the Blood Demon Clan, and even a Divine Venerable might not be able to come out unscathed.”
A Divine Venerable in danger too?
This Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area indeed seems no nice place.
But what of it? Still, I must go there!
“Please inform me of the exact location, Senior!” Li Cheng said, bowing respectfully.
The Dragon Emperor took another look at Blunt Empty Venerable, who was still frowning and saying nothing further, before eventually responding, “You may not even get the chance to enter, because the Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area is right over there, inside the Evil Demon Lair!”
With those words, the Dragon Emperor pointed westward.
Li Cheng nodded. Although he didn’t know why his teacher was there, he knew he had to go.
The events recorded in that time bubble are likely to occur within these days.
But that place is inside the Evil Demon Lair, and the fact that Blunt Empty Venerable and Dragon Emperor have joined hands here suggests that there must be more than one Divine Venerable Realm powerhouse within the lair.
With my current cultivation, it would be useless to try and hide under the eyes of a Divine Venerable Realm expert, as they could easily detect me with little effort.
I must think of a way to infiltrate.
With this thought, Li Cheng said, “Thank you, senior!”
Blunt Empty Venerable sighed silently, and with a flip of his hand, took out a Jade Slip, “I can’t stop you, but since the cultivation technique you practice is special, if combined with this secret technique, you’ll probably be able to sneak in successfully!”
Li Cheng took the Jade Slip, which contained a secret technique called the Formless Metamorphosis Technique.
Once mastered, the Formless Metamorphosis Technique allows one to change into myriad forms, even perfectly replicating strength and aura.
And the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture can already absorb all kinds of power, so if aided by the Formless Metamorphosis Technique, I could easily simulate Demonic Qi.
“Enlightenment! Simplified enlightenment!”
Instantly using up two chances for enlightenment, Li Cheng’s mind now possessed the perfectly cultivated Formless Metamorphosis Technique.
After slight contemplation, Li Cheng casually altered his appearance, his divine power also transforming into Demonic Qi, and within a few breaths, he completed the change.
“This… so you already knew it!” Blunt Empty Venerable exclaimed in astonishment.
He had thought of this secret technique as a makeup gift for their meeting, not realizing that Li Cheng had already mastered the Formless Metamorphosis Technique!
And it was clear that it was cultivated to perfection.
Therefore, Blunt Empty Venerable naturally assumed that Li Cheng had always known it, and that his mastery was extremely high.
Li Cheng didn’t explain the use of simplified enlightenment, as no one else would know that he had achieved enlightenment.
“To the four seniors, time is of the essence. I shall depart now, take care!” Li Cheng said, clasping his fists in a salute.
“I will go with you, otherwise you might not be able to find it,” Dragon Emperor said with a smile.
Li Cheng shook his head, “That’s not appropriate, senior. It’s better for you to hold fort here. I have a smaller target on my own, and with the Formless Metamorphosis Technique, I’ll be safe!”
Everyone furrowed their brows, for Li Cheng… had actually reached a complete Divine Monarch!
They hadn’t noticed Li Cheng’s cultivation level before, but with this discovery, Blunt Empty Venerable, Dan Chi, and Dan Zui all widened their eyes!
“What’s wrong with you guys?” the Dragon Emperor asked with a puzzled face. Why were the three of them suddenly so shocked?
Dan Chi swallowed hard, “Twenty years ago, Supreme Li was only at the early stage of Divine Monarch.”
Dragon Emperor nodded, “It really is monstrous talent to have risen from the early stage of Divine Monarch to complete in twenty million years.”
“The twenty he mentioned isn’t twenty million,” Blunt Empty Venerable said with a smile.
Dragon Emperor was startled and looked at Li Cheng incredulously, “Twenty years?”
“No, Blunt Empty, did you create another powerful Time Artifact?” Dragon Emperor quickly changed his tone.
Being able to rise from the early stage of Divine Monarch to complete in such a short time, he must have cultivated inside a Time Artifact.
Could it be possible in the outside world?
Blunt Empty Venerable smiled without comment, turning to Li Cheng, “The token I gave you carries my three full-strength attacks. Use it when necessary, and I’ll sense it and come immediately.”
Li Cheng clasped his fists, “Understood, thank you, senior!”
Without further ado, Li Cheng turned and flew towards the west. His body was shrouded in Demonic Qi, revealing no anomalies whatsoever.
As Blunt Empty Venerable watched Li Cheng depart, he sighed with relief, “Now that’s a monstrous talent! To be able to enhance his cultivation to such a degree in just twenty years at Mysterious Heavy House!”
“Moreover, have you noticed? The Earth Rules, Time Law, and Space Law around him are extremely magnificent, at least above two hundred million paths!”
The words of Blunt Empty Venerable made Dragon Emperor’s eyelids twitch, “Is it really only twenty years? Why do I feel that’s impossible?”
“Nothing is impossible. The Saintess of Confucian Sect asked me to deliver two hundred superior Divine Veins to him without mentioning the Sect. I guess he has some connection with the Demon Suppression Emperor, and for someone related to the Demon Suppression Emperor, do you still think it’s impossible?” Blunt Empty Venerable replied with a smile.
Dragon Emperor gasped, his eyes widened with shock, opening and closing his mouth but unable to utter a word.
Dan Chi and Dan Zui at his side reacted with equal astonishment!
Li Cheng sped along, and soon, he observed many Evil Demons converging. Further off, there was even a large army!
