BXBX NOVEL Chapter 97 - 971 Found You a Bit Blind i
Li Cheng felt helpless as he looked at the full-faced expectations of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan. What else could he do?
Just say it!
If you want to laugh, go ahead, it doesn’t matter.
With that thought, Li Cheng said, “I really don’t want to ascend! Truly don’t!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan furrowed his brow, “And why is that?”
This game, it seems, is unlikely to be turned around.
Li Cheng gave a light cough. “Senior, what level would you say my combat power is at in the Kunlun Realm?”
Without a second thought, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan replied, “Top-notch! Unless you meet a freak of nature like Grand Venerable Bai Jie, I’m afraid there’s no one who could be your opponent.”
“Is that so? What if I went to the Immortal World?” Li Cheng asked again.
“Do I even need to say it? Your combat power would probably be equivalent to a Complete True Immortal, or perhaps an early-stage Profound Immortal. Once in the Immortal World, there are many who would be stronger than you.”
Li Cheng slapped his thigh. “Right! Look, since I’m a big shot in the Kunlun Realm, why would I want to go to the Immortal World and be a little grasshopper?”
Hmm?
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was startled. Wait, just because of this issue, he didn’t want to ascend?
But upon deeper consideration, this youngster isn’t wrong!
Why would a big shot want to be a little lackey?
Looking at Li Cheng, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan couldn’t help but chuckle and nod slightly.
“Senior also thinks it makes sense?” Li Cheng’s eyes brightened.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, “It would not be possible for others, but you are different.”
“Other cultivators can only become stronger by crossing Tribulation and ascending to the Immortal World, and also they simply cannot stay in the Lower World for long with a Complete Tribulation Crossing cultivation.”
“You are different; you have comprehended so many laws and are no longer subject to the restrictions of the Order of Heaven and Earth, so this idea might only be feasible for you.”
Li Cheng nodded, feeling quite pleased to have the recognition from an Immortal Emperor-level bigwig!
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, seemingly thinking of something, chuckled even more. “1 support your idea!”
Li Cheng was puzzled, “Senior, did you think of something?”
“Hehe, it’s nothing much, 1 just want to see to what extent the combat power of someone with Complete Tribulation Crossing cultivation on the surface can improve in the future.”
Li Cheng also smiled. As long as he kept having enligtenment, accumulating more laws, he would naturally become stronger and stronger.
But for now, the tenth layer of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture is within reach; all that’s lacking is the Immortal Yuan within his body.
He wondered whether his True Yuan could be completely transformed into Immortal Yuan without undergoing Tribulation.
Normally, that would be impossible!
But he was not normal!
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had said it himself, he was acknowledged by the Order of Heaven and Earth, so the complete transformation of True Yuan into Immortal Yuan should not be restricted.
Then, thinking of the Immortal Artifact he refined, he suddenly understood—it must be so!
If even Artifact Refining was not restricted, why would the Immortal Yuan within him be any different?
If that’s the case, one could become an immortal without undergoing Tribulation!
Wonderful, becoming an immortal in secret, the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture could be cultivated continuously without being hindered by the problem of Immortal Yuan.
“Your disciple has arrived; his Innate Eye Technique is no trivial matter. If combined with the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, hehe, one day he might… I’m just saying,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan let out as he retreated back into the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.
Li Cheng looked toward the foot of the mountain, seeing Lei Yuan approaching swiftly, and pondered over Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s words.
The Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll could only be cultivated by the Sect Master’s lineage, but that was a matter for the future.
“Greetings, Master!” Lei Yuan arrived at the summit and bowed respectfully.
Li Cheng nodded, “Have a seat wherever you like!”
Speaking of which, Li Cheng casually found himself a rock to sit on.
Lei Yuan, however, didn’t dare to sit, standing respectfully instead.
“There’s no need to be so formal. In our sect, there aren’t so many rules. Just do as you wish, and as long as it’s true to your heart, that’s enough.”
“Yes, Master!” Lei Yuan hesitated for a few seconds, but eventually, he sat down, “Master, the Grand Sect Assembly is about to begin, can I participate?”
“For now, 1 have only passed on the cultivation technique to you. Whether you can complete your cultivation switch in the next few days is still unknown, let alone securing a good position in the tournament.” Li Cheng said.
It wasn’t that he opposed it, but rather that he wanted Lei Yuan to be mentally prepared.
He wasn’t like Yun Tianqiong and the others who had just started learning, with very little knowledge.
Lei Yuan said, “A/laster, when I entered the city, 1 spotted quite a few people from Ten Thousand Evils Cave at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Since they have come here, I suppose they plan to participate in the Grand Sect Assembly. So, I too wish to join and slay them during the assembly!”
“You could tell they were people from Ten Thousand Evils Cave?” Li Cheng’s eyes flickered with surprise – even Feng Wanli and himself couldn’t tell!
A bit embarrassed, Lei Yuan said, “1 can only discern those at the Foundation Establishment Stage or below; they can’t fool my eyes.”
“They wear the robes of disciples from various sects, but in fact, they are from Ten Thousand Evils Cave.”
Li Cheng understood; it must be because of his Innate Eye Technique.
As for those sect disciples who were actually from Ten Thousand Evils Cave, they were probably playing a game of an infiltrated organization.
He had heard before that many powerful figures from different sects joined Ten Thousand Evils Cave in secret, like the senior ancestor from the Taoist Mysterious Sect.
Huh?
Suddenly, Li Cheng recalled that the senior ancestor from the Taoist Mysterious Sect had secretly joined Ten Thousand Evils Cave and was taken over by the Ten Thousand Traits Stealing the Heavenly Scripture as an avatar. Could it be the mysterious Evil Master of Ten Thousand Evils Cave was the owner of the avatar?
But it was no use guessing – even if this were true, nobody knew who the Evil Master was.
Nobody had ever seen his true face.
“The people from Ten Thousand Evils Cave want to kill you and even talked about eradicating the roots; what’s going on?” Li Cheng asked.
Sorrow appeared on Lei Yuan’s face as he slowly said, “Lei’s Commerce, my family, was destroyed by Ten Thousand Evils Cave two years ago. Out of over a thousand members in my family, I am the only one left.”
“I had a premonition that my path of survival lay in this direction. So, for the past two years, 1 have relied on my eyes to evade assassins and kept moving in this direction, until 1 met Master and Uncle Feng.”
Lei Yuan’s account was simple, but for a boy who was only thirteen or fourteen at the time, how could the pain of having his home destroyed be so easily put into words?
Li Cheng looked towards the depths of the Taoist Mysterious Sect, where he could clearly see a tall tower standing at the peak of a mountain.
“With six days left, if you enter the Universe Mystery Tower, it will be half a year.”
“In half a year, 1 can teach you a lot of things!”
Li Cheng seemed to be speaking to himself, but his words lit up Lei Yuan’s eyes.
This meant he agreed to let him join the Grand Sect Assembly!
And for the assembly, Master was going to take him into the Universe Mystery Tower!
That was the Sect’s Treasure of the Taoist Mysterious Sect, said to be a place where one month inside equated to just one day outside.
Most importantly, Master intended to teach him many things inside.
“Thank you, Master, for granting me this opportunity!” Lei Yuan prostrated himself in gratitude.
Li Cheng glanced at Lei Yuan, “No need to kneel so frequently, get up!”
Li Cheng sensed where Feng Wanli was and, with Lei Yuan, soared through the air towards him.
Feng Wanli was meticulously searching inside a pavilion, not missing a single corner. He only stood up when Li Cheng and Lei Yuan arrived, “I thought you weren’t interested in the wealth of the Eighteen Tribulation Loose Immortals!”
“I’m not interested. 1 came to ask you to bring us into the Universe Mystery Tower,” Li Cheng replied.
Feng Wanli seemed to have grown accustomed to Li Cheng not using ‘please’ when speaking with him, and he nodded without hesitation, “A small matter, shall we go now?”
Li Cheng looked around the pavilion, “Let’s find everything first because I’ve noticed you’re a bit blind – you didn’t even see something so obvious.”
Feng Wanli rolled his eyes.. You don’t say ‘please’ when asking for my help, and now you’re saying I’m blind?
