Chapter 86 - 86 Zhongnan Yin-Yang Ridge_i
Li Cheng mentioned the gift of Immortal Beasts from Pill Sect at this time, how could Feng Wanli not understand?
The implication was clear, Pill Sect has given my disciple a grand gift, aren’t you going to give one?
At this moment, Feng Wanli felt some regret, wishing he had just waited in the great hall and not followed them here.
Now what, could he not give a gift?
And it couldn’t just be any gift, it had to be a good one!
Luckily, since Feng Wanli had descended to the Lower World, he would occasionally give gifts to the juniors of the Taoist Mysterious Sect, and currently, his storage ring still had some items in stock.
Clearing his throat, Feng Wanli said with a smile, “My three esteemed nephews, come, I have a small gift for you.”
As he spoke, Feng Wanli took out three Heaven Immortal Talismans, which floated towards each of them, “These are medium-level Heaven Immortal Talismans condensed by your Uncle, they might lend you a helping hand at a critical moment.”
The three glanced at the Heaven Immortal Talismans, then simultaneously turned their gazes towards Li Cheng; if Li Cheng didn’t nod, how would they dare to accept?
Li Cheng smiled, “Gifts from an elder, I dare not refuse.”
Only then did the three of them bow in unison, “Thank you, Uncle, for your generous gift!”
Feng Wanli looked at the three who calmly accepted the Heaven Immortal Talismans and couldn’t help feeling somewhat disappointed.
Those were the Heaven Immortal Talismans he had condensed with all his might, meant for critical moments, and now given to three kids who showed no more than an indifferent attitude?
Shouldn’t they show some excitement?
A bit of excitement would at least give me some comfort!
Feng Wanli could take out Heaven Immortal Talismans, and that was enough for Li Cheng to be satisfied. Those talismans, once used, were equivalent to summoning Feng Wanli’s temporary avatar, capable of dealing with even a Tribulation Loose Immortal without trouble.
With those talismans, one could say that the three had gained an extra life. “There’s no need to be polite, Uncle Feng is a good friend of your master…” Feng Wanli didn’t continue, as he realized that Li Cheng was glaring at him. This guy is getting ahead of himself, claiming to be a good friend? If it weren’t for him using those Immortal Stones and Immortal Infants to save his life, he probably would have been slain by Li Cheng already, not to mention being forced to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao; Li Cheng truly didn’t believe there were no grudges in his heart.
“Hehe, concentrate on your cultivation, your master and I will go to the Taoist Mysterious Sect now,” said Feng Wanli with a laugh.
The three nodded, each holding the iron pot, pot spatula, and fire poker given by Li Cheng, and began to cultivate in meditation.
Seeing this, Feng Wanli’s mouth twitched; those were what Li Cheng took out to improve your cooking skills, and also to tease me about giving gifts, yet you’re seriously cultivating with them?
How could he know, those were treasures containing Laws!
“Have you learned the Immortal Spirit Step?” The two rose into the air, as Li Cheng asked.
Feng Wanli chuckled, “How could that be so easy? The Immortal Spirit Step you used when you left Artifact Sect last time, that’s it, right? Take me with you!” Li Cheng glanced at Feng Wanli, if you haven’t learned it, then why did you say ‘let’s use the Immortal Spirit Step’ before?
However, to save time, Li Cheng still grabbed Feng Wanli, and the Space Law surged around them, following which, their figures vanished.
After a few steps, they were already above the Taoist Mysterious Sect.
Ignoring the astonished Feng Wanli, Li Cheng looked around; he saw peaks soaring into the sky, clouds and fog weaving through the mountains, with structures appearing and disappearing within the clouds.
Nearing the central area, many Floating Peaks drifted in midair, neatly arranged, with each peak boasting a grand hall, both ancient and majestic. “How does it compare to the other sects you’ve seen?” Feng Wanli asked with a laugh, his words filled with barely concealed pride.
Li Cheng, feeling the thick nature’s spiritual energy between heaven and earth, nodded slightly, “It is indeed impressive, but don’t get complacent. As they say, ‘What goes around comes around; thirty years on one side of the river, thirty years on the other…\'”
“Alright, forget I mentioned it. Don’t curse my Taoist Mysterious Sect. Come on, we have serious matters to attend to!” Feng Wanli interrupted Li Cheng and took the lead to fly northward.
Li Cheng followed and saw that outside the Taoist Mysterious Sect stood eight massive fortified cities, each located in one of the eight directions.
“This Formation is formidable. Once activated, it covers a radius of ten thousand miles. Whose handiwork is this?” Li Cheng couldn’t help but praise and asked with curiosity.
“Heh heh, I knew you’d notice. It was designed by a master from the Chess Immortal Sect of the Eastern Region over ten thousand years ago. Don’t just look at the common people in the city; even their strength should not be underestimated,” Feng Wanli said with great pleasure as if receiving Li Cheng’s recognition was a very happy matter.
“The Chess Immortal Sect?” Li Cheng looked towards Feng Wanli.
Feng Wanli nodded, “In the Eastern Region, the Confucianism Path is mainstream, and the strongest are none other than the four great sects of chess, guqing, calligraphy, and painting. The Chess Immortal Sect is one of these four sects.”
“These four sects are like branches of the same tree, no different from a single sect. They have together appointed a sect leader to command all four.”
“In the Immortal World, the power of the Confucianism Path should not be underestimated either.”
Feng Wanli seemed reluctant to say more, or perhaps he was eager to deal with the matters of the Immortal Mansion, and he continued on.
Having flown ten thousand miles, they encountered a world shrouded in dense fog. From a distance, it looked like a thick wall of fog that pierced through heaven and earth, spanning thousands of miles, its contents unknown.
“We’re here. This is it, the Zhongnan Yin-Yang Range!” Feng Wanli said with anticipation, looking at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng’s Spiritual Sense could only probe a hundred meters into the dense fog before it was blocked by an invisible force.
After a thorough sensation, Li Cheng couldn’t help but express his doubt, “This is neither a Formation nor a force of nature, but a device!”
“You’re not going to tell me that this is the Immortal Mansion, are you?”
Feng Wanli quickly shook his head and pointed to the fog that spanned a thousand miles. Suddenly, the fog shrank rapidly, and in a few breaths of time turned into a chess piece the size of a fingertip!
At the same time, an old man flew out from below the chess piece, holding it in the palm of his hand, “I’ve long heard of the great reputation of Daoist Li, and seeing you today, I must say your renown is well-deserved. Such discernment, I admire it greatly!”
“I am Qin Wuhun, a Lower World disciple of the Chess Immortal Sect.”
Qin Wuhun flew to the front of Li Cheng and Feng Wanli, with a smile on his face, he performed a courtesy before introducing himself.
Li Cheng could clearly sense that around the old man flowed a rich Haoran Air, which was a refreshing feeling like basking in the spring breeze.
Li Cheng returned the gesture, “I’ve seen Senior Qi!”
“Ha ha, with your strength, Daoist Li, defeating Lu Sanqian with three punches, how could I dare to call myself senior?” Qin Wuhun said with a laugh. “Enough, Qin Wuhun, where are Shu Wangjuan and Hua Bufan?” Feng Wanli interrupted Qin Wuhun and inquired.
Li Cheng felt somewhat puzzled, could it be that the four great sects of guqing, chess, calligraphy, and painting, took their names as surnames?
“They haven’t arrived yet,” Qin Wuhun shook his head.
Feng Wanli sighed quietly and, seeing that Qin Wuhun was still holding the chess piece, said with frustration, “Put away your chess piece. I know it’s from the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, no need to show off any longer!”
Qin Wuhun stroked his chin’s beard with one hand and held the chess piece with the other, without any intention of putting it away.
At that moment, Li Cheng heard familiar guqing music in his ear.
Li Cheng’s heart stirred, and he quickly looked toward the interior of the Zhongnan Yin-Yang Range.
“The Zhongnan Yin-Yang Range is divided into Yin Ridge and Yang Ridge.
What we see here is the Yin Ridge. Try to see it with your Spiritual Sense!” Feng Wanli seemed not to have heard the guqing music and spoke up.
Li Cheng released his Spiritual Sense to examine the Zhongnan Yin-Yang Range, and his expression gradually turned to astonishment!
