Chapter 128: Ninth Level Array Immortal Master_i
Xingyu and Shan Qian had brought over two hundred people in total. All of them appeared somewhat restrained and anxious, for being favored by Li Cheng could mean they had a great chance of obtaining the Five Elements Meridian Pearl!
But Li Cheng was speechless; considering the system’s nature, how easy could it be to find someone fated?
It was already cause for gratitude that Yan Yao had been found in these Ancient Ruins!
The previous grand assembly of a hundred clans had gathered so many people, yet only Lei Yuan was found, and that had been fruitless.
Clearly, none of these two hundred people were fated.
“Haha, Brother Li, my apologies for earlier, the old stubborn ones in my clan are set in their ways. I’ve already disciplined them!” Yan Qing also stepped forward, cupping his fist in apology.
Li Cheng didn’t say much; after all, Yan Qing’s apology should have been directed at Clan Leader Qingfeng, not himself.
“Brother Li, this is the Inheritance Stele of our Fire Elf Tribe. The Great Emperor’s inheritance has been dormant for millions of years, and it’s time for it to emerge into the light of day!” Yan Qing hurriedly brought out the Inheritance Stele.
Shan Qian also took out the Inheritance Stele, “Exactly, Master Li is a good friend of our Elf Tribe. We hope to see the Great Emperor’s inheritance shine brightly in your hands!”
Everything was ready!
Clan Leader Qingfeng really understood them well, having taken the initiative to bring the steles!
Li Cheng knew it was time to make a statement!
Accepting the Inheritance Steles, Li Cheng embraced his fist with a smile, saying, “Thank you all, Clan Leaders, for your generosity. Should the Five Elements Elf Tribe ever need my help, just say the word!”
How could these people, unable to leave the Ancient Ruins, have any issues?
Essentially, that was equivalent to saying nothing!
But the Clan Leaders felt comforted by his words.
“Haha, there’s no time like the present, Brother Li. Quickly, see what the Five Elements Great Emperor has left behind in the six Inheritance Steles.” Yan Qing laughed heartily.
For millions of years, no one had been able to gain anything from them, and now, they were about to witness it!
Li Cheng nodded, placing the six Inheritance Steles before him. Various laws surged forth and flowed into the steles.
The next moment, the six Inheritance Steles slowly floated up, merging into one above the heads of the crowd, as a fearsome Arrow Path Rules began to pervade the air!
Within those Arrow Path Rules, the ethereal and graceful figure of a woman appeared!
“The Five Elements Great Emperor!” The Clan Leaders’ eyes showed shock as they promptly knelt down.
Li Cheng was astonished. The Five Elements Great Emperor was a woman?
If she was a woman, why wasn’t she called the Five Elements Empress? It had led him to believe she was a man all along.
The Five Elements Great Emperor’s eyes, clear as a pool of spring water, surveyed Li Cheng for a moment and nodded slightly before she dissipated.
“Was that her Immortal Sense Mark nodding at me? Pleased to entrust the inheritance to me?” Li Cheng wondered to himself.
“Clan Leaders, she is gone!” Li Cheng looked at the people kneeling on the ground and spoke.
She left without saying anything?
The five Clan Leaders exchanged glances, confusion apparent in their eyes.
If she had left behind an Immortal Sense Mark, why would she not impart further guidance?
Was it merely to take a glimpse of who would receive her inheritance?
Amid their confusion, Li Cheng flew up to the floating stele and sat down cross-legged, sensing the stele intently!
Since the five Clan Leaders had handed the Inheritance Steles over to him, they certainly wouldn’t disturb his contemplation.
“Let us retreat and not disturb Master Li’s comprehension of the Inheritance Stele,” said Clan Leader Qingfeng.
Within the stele, there were tens of millions of Arrow Path Rules. The gap was evident when compared to his own Fist Path and Sword Dao.
Li Cheng was most concerned with the Array Path inheritance, which was condensed into a fist-sized sphere of light.
As Li Cheng’s Immortal Sense touched the sphere of light, a vast expanse of knowledge on formations suddenly flooded in!
“Indeed, a ninth-level Array Immortal Master!”
Li Cheng felt an immense joy in his heart, “Enlightenment!”
As soon as everyone had backed away, they sensed Li Cheng entering an enlightenment state of Unity of Heaven and Man, their faces immediately showing surprise.
Feng Wanli seemed to be accustomed to it, having witnessed Li Cheng’s cultivation states before, which were almost always moments of enlightenment.
What others could scarcely hope for in a lifetime of enlightenment seemed to Li Cheng no different than eating or drinking.
This was a significant stroke of fortune, he knew; Li Cheng must be someone with tremendous luck!
The inheritance of a ninth-level Array Immortal Master, if comprehended in the normal way, who knows how many years it would take.
But in a state of enlightenment, everything becomes so clear, and the absorption and understanding of the inherited knowledge is incredibly fast.
Moreover, in the state of enlightenment, tens of millions of Arrow path rules were also converging towards Li Cheng.
“These Arrow path rules left behind by the Five Elements Great Emperor, amounting to tens of millions. Now, after hundreds of millions of years, who knows what level his cultivation has reached,” Xingyu said.
“Anyway, except for the five ancestors of the Elf Tribe, the Five Elements Great Emperor is definitely the top figure in our clan!” Elder Qingfeng stated.
“You’re actually chatting?” Monkey Kongxu glanced at everyone and said teasingly, “Li Cheng is in enlightenment, and the rules of heaven and earth here have become incredibly active. This is a rare opportunity. Maybe we could comprehend one or two powers of the rules. Heh, if you don’t seize the chance, I certainly will!”
Saying this, Monkey Kongxu was the first to sit down cross-legged and begin his comprehension.
The five Clan Leaders looked at each other and also hurriedly sat down to meditate.
They were all Golden Immortals, but until now, they hadn’t understood even a hint of the rules. With such an opportunity at hand, they naturally wanted to seize it.
Not just them, everyone nearby started to comprehend as well.
Normally, only Daluo Golden Immortals would have the chance to understand the rules, but those with great intelligence, who experience serendipity, or consume Emperor Grade pills might grasp some rules earlier.
If they knew that Li Cheng’s disciples even at the Foundation Establishment Stage were endowed with the rules, who knows what their expressions would be.
Yan Yao watched as everyone around her sat down to comprehend earnestly, and she, not wanting to stand alone, also sat down.
But she didn’t rush to comprehend; instead, she looked up carefully, gazing at Li Cheng.
Whatever she was thinking, her delicate fingers slowly clenched into a fist as if she had made a tough decision.
Time passed day by day; everyone had long forgotten about time, not knowing how much they had gained. But Li Cheng had already integrated the inheritance of the ninth-level Array Immortal Master, making it his own.
As long as his cultivation was sufficient, he would be able to set up a corresponding Immortal Array.
Now, Li Cheng continued to comprehend as he sensed the rules of the Arrow Dao.
Arrow path rules entering the body, if not understood, could hardly unleash much power; only when they became part of oneself could they be directed like one’s own limbs, unleashing their full power.
Tens of millions of Arrow path rules, a daunting number, but in a state of enlightenment, a single day was enough to comprehend hundreds of thousands.
Finally, Li Cheng slowly opened his eyes, with countless Arrow path rules rapidly being absorbed into his body, the inheritance completely made his own!
[Current remaining enlightenment opportunities: 47.]
After glancing at his status panel, Li Cheng was not surprised. The formations and Arrow Dao had used up twenty-seven enlightenment opportunities, leaving him with forty-seven.
The active heavenly rules returned to normal, and the people who had been comprehending also gradually woke up.
Li Cheng looked at Monkey King Kongxu, “Congratulations on your breakthrough, Monkey King!”
Monkey Kongxu was surrounded by a shimmering golden light; had it not been for the combined efforts of the five Clan Leaders to contain his powerful aura, the elves nearby might have been shattered to pieces long ago.
“This Dead Monkey, couldn’t he have broken through further away? He nearly destroyed my Floating Peak,” Xingyu said with some helplessness.
Monkey Kongxu, containing his aura, grinned. “Brother, now that we have nothing pressing, why not help me refine that Golden Cudgel we talked about?”
Tribe Chief Yan Qing’s eyes lit up; Artifact Refining was his favorite activity!
Li Cheng smiled; he was contemplating artifact creation, particularly a time- related Immortal Artifact, so he might as well take care of the Golden Cudgel at the same time!
But, before artifact creation, he should think of a way to take Yan Yao as his disciple!
Moreover, Li Cheng also wanted to explore the giant lake below. During the previous enlightenment, he had sensed that something might be hidden in its depths.
The Ancient Ruins seemed to hold surprises everywhere.
