Chapter 145 - 145 Grand Venerable Bai Jie Appearsi
Li Cheng’s face showed a look of astonishment, because at this moment, the Grand Honorary Order actually moved!
The Grand Honorary Order trembled within the storage ring, evidently sensing something—most likely, it had sensed the presence of the Grand Venerable’s child!
But currently, there were only Lei Yuan and Ling Xi…
“Senior Qi, Old Feng, I would like a private word with them!” Li Cheng said to Feng Wanli and Qin Wuhun.
The two nodded and turned towards the lower level.
Qin Wuhun secretly clicked his tongue in admiration, “Master Li’s two disciples are no ordinary individuals! If I am not mistaken, they both possess special constitutions!”
Feng Wanli looked at Qin Wuhun with a hint of suspicion, as something seemed to click into place for him, and he nodded understandingly, “That’s right, your Confucian Immortal’s sensing abilities are extraordinary. Were you able to discern what kind of special constitutions they have?”
Qin Wuhun shook his head, “I only glanced at them briefly and couldn’t determine the exact nature of their special constitutions. Impressive! Each of the four disciples is incredibly gifted.”
“Heh heh, however gifted they might be, they are still not as exceptional as their master,” Feng Wanli laughed.
Li Cheng approached Lei Yuan and Ling Xi, saying with a smile, “You’ve both done very well!”
Lei Yuan practiced the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, which was highly compatible with his special constitution, leading to rapid progress. He had now reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core cultivation.
The important thing was that as his cultivation improved and aided by the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, his special constitution became increasingly enigmatic.
He used to rely on his eyes to see the so-called ‘energy’, but now he had taken it to the next level.
Ling Xi was always engrossed in Alchemy, storing Spirit Medicine in the Medicine Spirit Space and cultivating while concocting pills. Within five years in the Universe Mystery Tower, her cultivation had surpassed her fellow disciples, reaching the early stage of the Divinity Transformation.
“Lei Yuan, the Sect Master will arrive in a couple of days. You can seek his guidance for any questions about cultivation,” Li Cheng said further.
Lei Yuan, not fully understanding the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll himself, complained to Mu Xingzhi, who would eventually be his successor, so he left the cultivation guidance to him.
“Yes, Master!” Lei Yuan bowed respectfully.
“Go find Uncle Feng first, he has something for you,” Li Cheng instructed.
Lei Yuan’s eyes lit up as he headed down to the next level.
Ling Xi bowed once more, “Master, do you have any instructions for your disciple?”
Li Cheng nodded, making up reasons to send them away one by one, obviously because something significant was happening.
He took out the Grand Honorary Order, and saw that it struggled in his hand, trying to fly towards Ling Xi.
Li Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the suppression.
The next second, the Grand Honorary Order floated directly in front of Ling Xi. “Girl, your father is sorry…”
As the voice drifted out, the Grand Honorary Order flashed into Ling Xi’s palm, slicing it open, and then vanished.
Li Cheng realized that the Grand Honorary Order, using Ling Xi’s blood as a medium, had recognized its master on its own and had entered Ling Xi’s body.
Inside her, there evidently was a strand of Grand Venerable Bai Jie’s Immortal Sense, now communicating with her.
“The child of the Grand Venerable, who would have thought… It would turn out to be the Grand Venerable’s daughter…”
Li Cheng murmured to himself, the outside world’s rumors of the Grand Venerable’s son turned out to be Ling Xi.
Ling Xi belonged to the Yin and Yang Spirit Clan, and had previously faced the world as a male. Now of age and having awakened the Medicine Divine Body, her gender had settled into being female.
Perhaps it was precisely because she was from the Yin and Yang Spirit Clan that the outside world had mistaken her for male, leading to the rumors of the Grand Venerable’s son.
“All the better, the outside world thinks the offspring of the Grand Venerable is a son, making Ling Xi even safer,” Li Cheng mused.
“I just don’t understand, given that Ling Xi was born over ten thousand years ago, what method did Grand Venerable Bai Jie use to allow her to start living normally now?”
Li Cheng pondered in silence, given that he had mastered two hundred Time Laws and two hundred and sixty Space Laws, traversing space-time was feasible to a certain extent, but he could only observe, not actually send people to the future.
It’s possible that Grand Venerable Bai Jie also had control over a vast number of Time and Space Laws, but at that time Ling Xi had no cultivation and couldn’t possibly withstand the pressures of space-time.
Therefore, Li Cheng dismissed this possibility.
“It must be similar to the cryogenic technology of that previous world; surely Grand Venerable used some sort of technique to seal Ling Xi, causing her to awaken only after more than ten thousand years.”
Li Cheng remembered that the Seventh Elder had said that one could consider Ling Xi crawled out from a pile of corpses, which must be the battlefield between Mortal Dynasties, wherein countless had died.
And that was exactly where Ling Xi had been asleep?
As he pondered, he saw Ling Xi already in tears, crying incessantly.
He didn’t know what Grand Venerable had told her.
Li Cheng pondered, then spoke up, “Grand Venerable Bai Jie, may I have the honor of meeting you in person?”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a phantom figure appeared beside Ling Xi, clasping his hands in greeting, “Brother Li is too courteous. You’ve shown my daughter great kindness, and I should indeed appear to express my gratitude.”
Brother Li? This form of address… and ‘Bai Jie’ referring to himself, startled Li Cheng.
Li Cheng looked towards the phantom figure, seeing a figure slightly emaciated, with features obscured by powerful forces and thus indiscernible.
Even so, he emanated a gentle and refined demeanor.
Without waiting for Li Cheng to speak, Grand Venerable Bai Jie continued, “Back then, I had an urgent matter and had to leave. In desperation, I had to ask Ancestor Master Tianji Zi to deduce the mysteries of fate and sealed my daughter near the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. However, I didn’t expect even Tianji Zi could miscalculate.”
Li Cheng smiled; his mention of a miscalculation must mean he hadn’t anticipated that the first to create an Immortal Pill would be me.
Such is a variable!
This means that once Ling Xi grows up, she too would be able to concoct Immortal Pills in the Kunlun Realm.
Li Cheng had no doubt about this, for Ling Xi’s Medicine Divine Body was truly extraordinary, seemingly born for Alchemy.
From the Grand Venerable’s words, Li Cheng could infer that he seemed to have the freedom to go to the Immortal World, otherwise, how could he have sought out Ancestor Master Tianji Zi?
“It is said that when Grand Venerable left, he took many powerhouses with him, may I ask what for?” Li Cheng couldn’t help but inquire about the urgent matter that had caused the departure.
Grand Venerable Bai Jie shook his head slightly, “It is inconvenient to speak of this matter, Brother Li, please forgive me!”
Li Cheng shrugged indifferently, then changed the subject, “The one who was sealed by Grand Venerable in Devil Abyss has founded Ten Thousand Evils Cave and gathered many Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals…”
“Brother Li, this shred of my Immortal Sense could dissipate at any moment, and I don’t have time to explain. The small Immortal Emperor from the Underworld Dungeon of Devil Abyss is a gift I prepared for my daughter. I believe he is searching for her, and when the time comes, Brother Li, do not hinder him,” said Grand Venerable Bai Jie as his phantom figure wavered and nearly vanished.
A small Immortal Emperor? A gift?
Surprise flickered in Li Cheng’s eyes; we’re talking about an Immortal Emperor here, do you really need to add ‘small’ before his title?
Wouldn’t that be a blow to the Evil Master’s pride if he knew?
Tsk tsk, just how mighty is Grand Venerable Bai Jie?
“Brother Li, we shall meet, and then we can drink and make merry,” Grand Venerable Bai Jie said. His figure could no longer maintain cohesion and started to fade!
“I apologize, Brother Li, I just transferred some things to my daughter, which caused this Immortal Sense not to stay for long. Oh, and Tian Yuan is a sufferer of hard fate; if possible, please treat him kindly,” these words, were conveyed through telepathy.
As the telepathic message ended, Grand Venerable Bai Jie disappeared from sight.
