Chapter 424: Chapter 333 Light Destroying Heaven Venerable_2
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable looked at Li Cheng once more, “What do you think?”
Li Cheng was surprised, thinking to himself, what can I possibly say? Matters of such magnitude are not for me to decide.
But since the Heaven Venerable had asked, Li Cheng dared not refuse to answer and could only say, “From my perspective, the sooner we act the better. However, I can’t predict the layout of the Divine Court, so it’s difficult to say what should be done.”
A smile appeared on Light Destroying Heaven Venerable’s face as he turned to Blunt Empty Venerable, “Other mansions may not be convenient to take action against Ten Thousand Gods Mountain at the moment, but your Land Puppet Mansion can make the first move, consider it throwing a stone to ask the way!”
The hint from Light Destroying Heaven Venerable was concise, yet Blunt Empty Venerable immediately understood his meaning, that Land Puppet Mansion was to serve as the stone thrown to probe the path for starting the cleanup of Ten Thousand Gods Mountain.
“Understood, I certainly won’t disappoint the Heaven Venerable,” Blunt Empty Venerable said hastily.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable nodded, his gaze sweeping over the two, “Go now!”
Blunt Empty Venerable took his leave, bringing Li Cheng along as they departed.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable watched Li Cheng’s retreating figure until the two had left the continent. Only then did he shake his head, smile, and continue to gaze into the distance, chanting a poem, “Heaven yearns for snow, clouds fill the lake, towers flicker between existence and oblivion…”
Upon leaving the continent, the two hurried towards the Land Puppet Mansion. Blunt Empty Venerable said, “Why do I feel like the Heaven Venerable seems to recognize you?”
Based on what?” Li Cheng asked. To be honest, he too had that impression, but as someone in the midst of the situation, he might not have seen as much as Blunt Empty Venerable did.
Blunt Empty Venerable contemplated and said, “When he sized you up, although his expression was well-hidden and his aura showed no fluctuations, I still saw something different in his eyes. Especially when he asked you that question, it seemed like there was another meaning.”
You haven’t been to the Confucian Sect yet, have you?
This statement made Li Cheng think of many things.
Firstly, there was the moment when the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns flew out from his sea of consciousness, bringing forth a sliver of memory, in which a figure in Confucian attire appeared.
Then, considering what Yun Fuxue said when gifting him the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns in the Immortal World, Li Cheng knew that the sealed portion within his soul was definitely related to the Confucian Sect.
Seeing Li Cheng fall into deep thought, Blunt Empty Venerable said, “How about you go directly to the Confucian Sect? I’m preparing to mobilize manpower to strike at Ten Thousand Gods Mountain on Land Puppet Mansion’s side!”
Li Cheng shook his head, “No rush, let’s deal with Ten Thousand Gods Mountain first. Since it’s throwing a stone to ask the way, it would be better with me there.”
Three hundred and fourteen of Ten Thousand Gods Mountain’s members were suppressed in the formation, which was to be the stone thrown to probe the way to Ten Thousand Gods Mountain.
Blunt Empty Venerable hesitated, “But the Heaven Venerable hinted at you visiting the Confucian Sect sooner. Any further delay seems inappropriate. Are you worried about something, or are you anxious about something?”
Li Cheng was indeed a bit nervous, a feeling akin to homesickness.
Nevertheless, Li Cheng feigned toughness and laughed, “Not at all, I just want to capture the demons from Ten Thousand Gods Mountain for alchemy.”
As they were about to return to Land Puppet Mansion, Li Cheng added, “By the way, speaking of that, Uncle-Master, I’m going to ask Dan Chi and Dan Zui for some divine medicine.”
The pill recipe recorded in the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod required rare divine medicines that were not easy to find, but surely the Pill Hall of Land Puppet Mansion had a significant collection.
Watching Li Cheng head towards the Pill Hall, Blunt Empty Venerable shook his head with a smile and summoned a host of commanders to start making arrangements.
Within Blunt Empty Residence, Li Cheng had already returned with the divine medicines.
“The flow of time here has normalized so I knew you were back. It’s been over three thousand years, and the main trunk hasn’t changed,” the voice of Ao Jiugai sounded.
Thirty years outside, over three thousand years here; but with Li Cheng’s current level of cultivation, as soon as he entered this place, the flow of time would match the outside world.
“No hurry, I’m about to enter the Divine Venerable Realm. Once I do, I plan to construct the Divine World. At that time, I’ll do everything I can to help the World Divine Tree sprout anew,” Li Cheng said.
Ao Jiugai doubted his own ears, stunned for a few seconds before saying, “About to enter the Divine Venerable Realm? How close are you?”
With his status in the True God Realm, he could no longer see Li Cheng’s level of cultivation.
“I have already reached the Complete stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, just a step away from the Divine Venerable Realm. Want to give me the final push?” Li Cheng joked.
Ao Jiugai’s eyes widened in disbelief, it was inconceivable. Li Cheng had grown to such an extent in just thirty years outside?
Despite his shock, Ao Jiugai swiftly shook his head, “What you call the final push might cost me over half of my Original Divine Qi. Would you have the heart to do that?”
Li Cheng chuckled, “I was just joking. The Original Divine Qi can be given to your daughter and my disciples later; I have something even better in my hands!”
Something even better?
Ao Jiugai felt a bit skeptical; he prided himself on occupying this ancient and top-grade Divine Vein but now Li Cheng claimed to have something better?
“What is it? Bring it out and let’s see,” Ao Jiugai said.
Li Cheng shrugged and produced a Divine Origin.
As soon as the Divine Origin emerged, Ao Jiugai was immediately stunned. “What is this thing? The Divine Power contained within it is so vigorous it’s unimaginable!”
After a pause, he continued, “Is there any more of it? I can feel that if I were to absorb this power, the quality of this top-grade Divine Vein could definitely improve by several levels, and it might even become an Ancestor Vein!”
An Ancestor Vein can sustain a realm and give birth to myriad Divine Veins—that’s what an Ancestor Vein is.
Li Cheng’s heart stirred, the construction of the Divine World was imminent, and if there was an Ancestor Vein in the Divine World, that would be wonderful!
“Are you sure that with this thing you can become an Ancestor Vein?” Li Cheng asked.
Ao Jiugai nodded without hesitation, “It’s entirely possible!”
This guy, he’s obviously not sure, hence he said it’s possible.
Even if he added ‘entirely’, it was still just a possibility.
However, upon further thought, if one Divine Origin wasn’t enough, then two would do!
The Divine Origin represents the Divine Emperor; the power of two Divine Emperors infused into a top-grade Divine Vein, Li Cheng really didn’t believe it still couldn’t become an Ancestor Vein.
Once it became an Ancestor Vein, by then, his Divine World would have the World Divine Tree, an Ancestor Vein, and the Chaotic Time-Space Lotus—each a supreme treasure.
How powerful would such a Divine World be?
With this thought, Li Cheng didn’t hesitate to hand over the Divine Origin to Ao Jiugai, “Take it easy, and give it your all!”
Ao Jiugai joyfully accepted it and asked, “By the way, what is this thing?”
“Divine Origin!”
“Divine Origin?”
Li Cheng smiled, “When a cultivator steps into the Divine Emperor’s Realm, the Divine Child vanishes and transforms into the Divine Origin!”
At these words, Ao Jiugai’s eyes widened in shock.
Ignoring the startled Ao Jiugai, Li Cheng moved to the front of the lake and released both the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and the Mole.
“You two are to protect me, I am preparing for alchemy!”
Seeing Li Cheng take out the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod and the Formation that had suppressed the people of Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, the Mole was overjoyed. How could it not understand that the boss was about to refine Divine Pills that enhance one’s innate talent!
Looking at the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod, Li Cheng then remembered that he still had two Divine Trees of Life and a great amount of Life Essence Qi inside it!
Then, let’s plant trees first!
Treating this place as a nursery, and later, when his Divine World was constructed, he would transplant them into the Divine World.
Seeing Li Cheng about to get busy with something else, the Mole couldn’t wait to take the Divine Tree of Life and the Life Essence Qi, “Boss, leave this coarse work to me. You get on with the alchemy!”
“Exactly, boss. Planting the Divine Tree of Life by the lake seems suitable!” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said.
Li Cheng smiled and let them get on with it; he started the alchemy process.
“Let’s start with the demons from the Divine Emperor Realm!”
Activating the Formation, he randomly selected a strong being from the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain who was in the Divine Emperor Realm, beheaded them, and indeed, a demon emerged from the corpse. Although it was in the Divine Emperor Realm and not in the Divine Venerable Realm like the previous fourteen.
But the Divine Emperor Realm was just right, after all, refining a Divine Venerable himself would probably be difficult.
With the demon easily sealed, Li Cheng threw it into the Tripod, combining it with the Divine Medicines, and began the refining process.
Two days passed, and a Divine Pill shimmering with colorful light was refined.
The Mole had been impatient for a while, eyes full of anticipation, watching Li Cheng.
“This kind of Divine Pill is somewhat difficult to refine, too slow, and if multiple batches are refined together, it’s feared that it would be hard to suppress the resistance of these demons,” Li Cheng mused to himself.
After all, his Cultivation was too low. If he were to reach the Divine Venerable Realm, refining the remaining Divine Emperor Realm demons in one batch would be a breeze.
He tossed the Divine Pill to the Mole, “You test its effects; I will proceed to enhance my Cultivation.”
With the Divine Origin in hand, raising his Cultivation was only a matter of time, and he was just a step away, which wouldn’t take many days.
The Mole, fearful that the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle might snatch it away, quickly gulped down the Divine Pill and closed its eyes to start refining it.
