Chapter 92 - 92 He will be struck by lightningl i
Li Cheng’s question startled both Feng Wanli and Lei Yuan!
Feng Wanli looked at Lei Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, with astonishment. The Innate Eye Technique?
A shock surged through Lei Yuan’s heart; this was the first time someone had discovered that his eyes contained the Innate Eye Technique.
This meant that the youth before him was undoubtedly a true master!
“Cough cough… Li Cheng, let’s make a deal, okay? You’re about to ascend, no need to take on disciples anymore. Let this little one be for my Taoist Mysterious Sect!” Feng Wanli said with a chuckling tone.
“Eighteenth Elder, Master Li Cheng?” Lei Yuan lifted his head, his eyes gradually revealing a look of surprise!
He indeed intended to apprentice himself to a notable figure from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, but who could have imagined it would be that famous figure from the Southern Domain!
“Damn it, okay, no deal then; pretend I didn’t say anything!” Feng Wanli said irritably, turning his head to look out the window to calm his heart by not seeing the source of his annoyance.
Upon hearing Li Cheng’s name, the little one was instantly so thrilled; undoubtedly, he couldn’t be snatched away!
So, it was better to simply calm his heart by not seeing him.
Lei Yuan hastily kowtowed, “Disciple Lei Yuan, greets Master!”
[Apprenticeship successful, reward: 2 Enlightenment opportunities.]
[Current remaining Enlightenment opportunities: 17 times.]
Li Cheng was smiling, a person’s reputation casts a long shadow, indeed high notoriety simplifies things!
With the reputation Li Cheng now had, were he to say he was taking a disciple, probably everyone in the Southern Domain would come running.
“Rise, and have you met your Uncle Feng?” Li Cheng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Feng Wanli felt a sudden surge in his heart, Oh man, time to give another gift!
“I’ve met Uncle Feng!” Lei Yuan stood up and gave a respectful salute.
Feng Wanli waved his hand, “Little one, go get washed up and change into some good clothes!”
“Go on!” Li Cheng also spoke.
Lei Yuan, doing his best to suppress his excitement, excused himself and left.
“Li Cheng, I don’t get it. You’re about to ascend, why bother taking on a disciple?” Feng Wanli turned his head back, curiously asking.
“Is there a conflict? Besides, I’m not planning to ascend anyway.”
Li Cheng’s words plunged Feng Wanli into deep thought.
After a while, Feng Wanli nodded, clearly understanding, “That makes sense. Your Heavenly Mechanism Sect is tricky, ascending might lead to accidents, better to take it slow for now.”
“Once 1 return to the Immortal World, I’ll go ask your Heavenly Mechanism Sect for information. Once it’s possible to ascend, I’ll find a way to let you know.”
Obviously, Feng Wanli was overthinking it; Li Cheng just didn’t want to become a small ant in the Immortal World.
Here, wasn’t he already a big shot?
So why choose to go to the Immortal World and invite hardship?
“When do you plan on taking action?” Li Cheng shifted the topic.
Feng Wanli’s expression became serious, “The sooner the better. Ideally, before the grand meeting. Otherwise, I fear the Ten Thousand Evils Cave will make trouble during the event.”
Li Cheng was doubtful, “Have you received any news? With so many sects and powers gathering, and strong individuals as numerous as clouds, would Ten Thousand Evils Cave dare to cause trouble at this time?”
Feng Wanli shook his head, “I haven’t received any news, but it’s better to be cautious. Furthermore, that person within the sect is too powerful. If we don’t eliminate them early, there’s too much risk of things going wrong as time passes.”
Li Cheng pondered. If he waited a while longer to act, exhausting these Enlightenment opportunities in the meantime, he would undoubtedly gain a greater chance of success.
But according to Feng Wanli, that individual might be cultivating an Evil Skill capable of usurping others’ vital energy, and Ten Thousand Evils Cave was also targeting the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the dark. It was indeed risky to delay their demise.
If they waited for people from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to arrive, and that individual secretly struck at the sect members, it would be too late for regrets!
Considering this, Li Cheng nodded, “Okay, but let’s not do it within the sect. Let’s find another place!”
Feng Wanli’s eyes lit up as he slapped his thigh, “That’s right, we can borrow Tianyuan City for a bit!”
Li Cheng was startled; he hadn’t even thought of using Tianyuan City to take care of that person.
“You’re not fully awake yet, Tianyuan City can’t withstand a battle between you and a Tribulation Loose Immortal,” the voice of the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan rang out.
“That weak?” Li Cheng raised an eyebrow.
The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, whether he was annoyed or not, took a while before saying, “Tianyuan City is only a mid-grade Immortal Artifact. If you go all out within it, most of the buildings in the city will be destroyed, and the heritage within will be lost.”
Li Cheng was skeptical. The Immortal City that bore the name of such a mighty Immortal Emperor was merely a mid-grade Immortal Artifact?
“Who’s the weakling who helped you refine it? It doesn’t match the status of an Immortal Emperor at all!” Li Cheng said.
“Me!” the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said huffily.
Oops?
That was a bit awkward.
Feng Wanli’s face was full of smiles, seemingly enjoying seeing Li Cheng embarrassed, and he asked, “Senior Tianyuan, with your vast experience, do you have any good strategies?”
“Since you say that slaying the denizens of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave is everyone’s business, why not seek more help? 1 don’t know about Li Cheng, but that Tribulation Loose Immortal could kill you in a second!”
Feng Wanli smiled bitterly, “I’d like to find some help too, but it should at least be someone with the fighting power of a complete Heavenly Immortal. We definitely have such people in the Southern Domain, but they are all in hiding, leaving only Li Cheng to find!”
Li Cheng was speechless. He had just stuck his neck out and already become the target?
The Black and White Elders were already at the sixteenth tribulation; compared to the eighteenth, it was only a gap of two minor realms. With their telepathic abilities, they shouldn’t be at a disadvantage against a Tribulation Loose Immortal, and he could consider bringing them in to help.
However, upon further thought, considering the methods the two elders had used at the Artifact Sect, it seemed he could handle it!
If that was the case, then he should also have the strength to fight a Tribulation Loose Immortal!
As he pondered, Li Cheng tapped at the table, his head aching. He had never seen a Tribulation Loose Immortal in action, so he wasn’t even clear on whether he could contend with one.
Maybe he should spar with the Black and White Elders first?
“Senior Tianyuan, you said you don’t know about Li Cheng’s strength. Not long ago, he killed a Heavenly Immortal of my cultivation level with just three punches. With that in mind, can you infer his combat power?” Feng Wanli wasn’t willing to give up and tried asking.
The voice of the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan arose, filled with surprise, “Three punches killed a complete Heavenly Immortal? Impossible, unless he possesses the rules of the Fist Path.”
“Fist Path Rules, I’ve grasped a little over one hundred thousand,” Li Cheng said.
The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan floated out directly, his eyes wide as he stared at Li Cheng, “Just? Are you sure it’s over one hundred thousand?”
Li Cheng nodded, “Is that a lot? Did I use ‘just’ wrong?”
The muscles on the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s face twitched violently, and he gritted his teeth, “With that said, you’re asking for a lightning strike!”
Li Cheng’s eyes brightened, “Good, I also have over one hundred thousand Sword Path Rules, and Senior, you’re a Sword Cultivator. You must know many powerful sword techniques, right? Could you teach me a few dozen?”
The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan staggered, almost unable to maintain his hovering stance, his eyes filled with a look of shock, “You have Sword Path Rules too?”
“This… and you’re still worried you can’t defeat a Tribulation Loose Immortal?” the voice of the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan rose a few pitches.
“Can defeat?” Li Cheng asked doubtfully.
The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was clearly furious to the core, his trembling fingers pointing at Li Cheng as he said, “Struck by thunder, struck by thunder, 1 swear!”
“You probably just tested the waters with the first two punches, and with the last one, you blew up the Immortal Body of a complete Heavenly Immortal, right? Loose Immortals don’t even have an Immortal Body, so are you still worried you can’t defeat one?”
“With so many Fist Path Rules, as long as you can land a hit, a full-strength punch would definitely burst the protective True Yuan of a Tribulation Loose Immortal, and then, do 1 need to say more?”
“To be ignorant of the treasure you carry is infuriating to me!”
Looking at the huffy Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, Li Cheng’s eyes began to shine, was he really that strong?
He hadn’t even known!
Haha, awkward, so awkward!
