Immortal Emperor Tianyuan sneered, without his permission, who could enter?
This was his Immortal City, and even with only a remnant soul, he could easily control all the formations!
Li Cheng smiled, “Be my lackey? This… is quite interesting!”
Even if it was only a remnant soul, it was the remnant soul of an Immortal Emperor. Having it as a lackey, well, just the thought was thrilling.
Seeing Li Cheng’s excited expression, Qin Wuhun couldn’t help but clear his throat as a reminder, “Immortal Array, it’s not something our Kunlun Realm formations can compare to.”
What he meant was, you could easily break into the Artifact Sect’s Sect Protection Array, but you can’t break into Tianyuan City.
He spoke very tactfully.
Yun Fuxue looked at the gate and suddenly spoke up, “Allow me to continue, open Tianyuan City, drive out Immortal Emperor Tianyuan!”
“Eh? Saintess, do you really want to confront Immortal Emperor Tianyuan…”
Yun Fuxue looked at Qin Wuhun, interrupting him, “Since Immortal Emperor Tianyuan once possessed Master Li’s disciple, his remaining here might truly have ulterior motives.”
“It may be as Master Li said, or it may just be a simple wish to stay here, but we can’t gamble; we have to ask the Immortal Emperor to leave!”
The last sentence, she said to the gate.
Li Cheng took a step forward, “Don’t make a move, since Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said I could make him my lackey if I can get inside, then this lackey, I’ll take!”
“Such arrogance, let me see you come inside?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan taunted.
Li Cheng nodded, “Then watch carefully!”
With those words, Li Cheng pressed his palms forward, a mighty force swept out, wrapped with the Space Law, and slammed into the gate!
The gate was hit but remained unscathed!
But an eerie scene unfolded: ripples appeared in the space above the gate, and just like that, a passageway emerged!
Through the passageway, the streets inside the city were clearly visible!
“I… you’ve actually mastered the Power of Laws? How is this possible? You’re at the Complete Stage of the Transcendance Tribulation!”
From inside the city, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s voice came, full of disbelief.
Li Cheng’s mouth twitched, knowing it yourself is fine, why say it out loud?
Didn’t you see there are others here?
Now, all three of them knew he had mastered the Power of Laws.
Sure enough, Qin Wuhun and the others were already gobsmacked.
“A great Immortal Emperor wouldn’t go back on his word, right?” Li Cheng looked at the passageway and said calmly.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan remained silent, quiet for a long time.
Li Cheng wasn’t in a hurry. The other was once an Immortal Emperor, and although he had been dead for over a hundred thousand years, suddenly becoming someone’s lackey surely wasn’t easy to adapt to.
And the reason for keeping him around, Li Cheng wanted to know where the remaining eighteen levels of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture were!
This cultivation technique was crucial. Immortal Emperor Tianyuan definitely had clues, so he couldn’t dissipate, at least not until they found the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture.
“Each era produces its own talents; with that skill of yours, I am convinced!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s voice rang out, and his figure appeared from the passageway.
He appeared to be in his sixties, a wide black robe unable to hide his thin frame, his complexion pale and weary, yet the imposing aura in his eyes was undeniable.
Compared to last time, his figure was clearly more ethereal, probably not able to last much longer before dissipating.
Li Cheng sized him up, nodded slightly, and said with a smile, “As agreed, from now on, you are my lackey!”
With that, the passageway disappeared.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan scoffed, “I don’t have much time left, I am curious to see just how far you can go before I dissipate.”
Indeed, he was curious—how far could a freak like him, who had mastered the Power of Laws at the Complete Stage of the Transcendance Tribulation, progress to?
Li Cheng smiled. In front of everyone, he obviously couldn’t mention the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, but there would be plenty of opportunities later.
So this is what it’s like having a grandfather figure by your side!
Where should he settle him?
The Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod seemed most suitable to hide him!
“Ahem… Since it’s been opened, can we go in and take a look?” Feng Wanli’s voice rang out, filled with strong anticipation.
The Immortal City left by the Immortal Emperor, who wouldn’t be moved by it, aside from the Immortal Emperor himself?
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan waved his hand casually, and the city walls began to disappear. The countdown on the gate also started to increase rapidly, soon returning to 69.
“Err, no rush, no rush. Sixty-nine days should be about the time the convention ends. We can come back then,” Feng Wanli said awkwardly.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan glanced at Feng Wanli, “Glad you understand.”
Li Cheng sensed for a moment and discovered that the power of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan might have already fallen to the level of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage compared to last time, which made him inwardly sigh. The once-mighty Immortal Emperor had come to such a state, how lamentable!
He took out the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod and said, “Senior, how about living here?”
The ethereal figure of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan entered the tripod, and a surprised sound came out: “Eh? The Artifact Spirit has actually begun to cultivate?”
Li Cheng had many questions for Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, but now was not the right time, so he had to suppress the thought for now.
After leaving the lake’s bottom, Feng Wanli took out a flying warship, and the four of them boarded the ship, slowly flying towards the Taoist Mysterious Sect.
Although everyone felt regretful that they couldn’t enter Tianyuan City to explore immediately, at least they had clarified that everyone could enter when the time came.
As long as they managed the entry spots well, once Tianyuan City opened with all the major forces jointly suppressing it, there would be no chaos.
“Taoist Friend Feng, there’s still some time before the convention ends, so we’ll take our leave now!” As they neared the Taoist Mysterious Sect, Qin Wuhun spoke up.
Feng Wanli frowned, “Qin Wuhun, can my Taoist Mysterious Sect not accommodate you?”
“No, the Saintess and I have important matters to attend to. Don’t worry, we’ll be back before the convention ends!” Qin Wuhun said.
Feng Wanli pondered, “No wonder Shu Wangjuan and Hua Bufan have always been absent. 1 understand. Then be careful, and if you need help, message me.”
With that, Feng Wanli turned to look at Li Cheng, then toward Qin Wuhun said, “I will bring Li Cheng back here!”
Li Cheng remained calm, “You’re not going to watch the convention?”
Yun Fuxue smiled faintly, “We really do have important matters. Master Li, take care!”
As the two departed, Feng Wanli patted Li Cheng on the shoulder, “Tell me, why is her guqing music audible only to you?”
“Do you know why?” Li Cheng asked.
Feng Wanli shook his head. “I don’t understand the ways of the Confucianism Path, how could I know?”
“Tsk, Zhongnan Yin Ridge has nice scenery, the snow piles on the clouds. What a fine poem, truly excellent!”
Li Cheng glanced at Feng Wanli, “Are you mocking me?”
Feng Wanli coughed hastily, “Why would you think that?”
“With a long breeze, a thousand miles, sending off the autumn geese, against such one can enjoy the tall buildings, want to continue laughing?” Li Cheng said casually.
Feng Wanli’s eyes widened, “My name can also hide poetry? Marvelous!”
Feng Wanli savored the lines, reciting them over and over again.
Li Cheng, with an amused expression, said with a smile: “A single lamp casts a solitary shadow by the western window, feelings twisting and turning in the endless night, the bright moon pierces through a thousand miles of wind, hehe.”
Eager anticipation filled Feng Wanli’s face, his excitement palpable. However, after waiting a long time, there was no concluding line from Li Cheng.
Feng Wanli felt as if his heart was being grasped in someone’s hand.
“Isn’t there more?” Feng Wanli couldn’t help but ask.
Li Cheng shook his head, about to tease Feng Wanli when joy suddenly lit up his eyes, “At last, I can take on a disciple again!”
The flying warship below was one of the eight great cities, and at that moment, the system prompt sounded, revealing a large green arrow below!
