Chapter 204 - 203: Refining the Immortal Palace Againi
The youth had made up his mind, since Li Cheng had borrowed his momentum, it was only right for him to obediently offer up the benefits.
So he had to give Li Cheng a warning!
Li Cheng’s expression was indifferent as he clasped his fists, “I wonder what guidance the senior has to offer?”
The youth’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Since you know I’m your senior, then it’s imperative for me to remind you that you should bow respectfully!”
As he spoke, the youth’s aura burst forth, and a heavy pressure rushed towards Li Cheng, seemingly intended to force Li Cheng to bow with its might.
Li Cheng, however, stood unyielding, “If no one offends me, I do not offend others. If you don’t retract your pressure, don’t blame me for being impolite.” “Have you been polite? Not even knowing to perform a bowing salute in the presence of a senior, you little fellow, this Immortal King will teach you how it’s done!” scoffed the youth.
“Idiot! Brain-dead!”
Li Cheng did not hide his disdain in the slightest.
He had never seen such a foolish Immortal King.
The youth’s face darkened slightly, “Are you cursing me? Do you know what happened to the last person who cursed me?”
As soon as his words fell, in the ancient ruins where the old man had appeared not far away, space unfolded completely, and rich Immortal Qi filled the air.
But both the youth and Li Cheng sensed that an overwhelming intent to kill was surging over!
“Another Immortal King, much stronger than the old man, mid-stage Immortal King!” Li Cheng frowned subtly.
“Who is it!”
A roar came, and with it, a burly middle-aged man appeared in the midst of the scene.
As soon as the middle-aged man arrived, his killing intent locked onto the young man opposite.
The youth was unfazed, he picked at his ear, “What are you howling for? Sheathe your killing intent, have I provoked you in anyway?”
“Did you kill my brother?” the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, killing intent abound.
The youth furrowed his brows, “Who? I don’t know your brother!”
“Li Cheng, aren’t we leaving? There’s an Immortal Venerable in there!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan transmitted.
Li Cheng pondered for a moment, uncertain of the true strength of an Immortal Venerable, but even if he could escape from the hands of an Immortal Venerable, it would certainly be in a rather sorry state. It was better to withdraw!
Without hesitation, Li Cheng began to retreat slowly.
This action, of course, didn’t escape the two Immortal Kings, but in their view, he was merely a Daluo Golden Immortal who was likely worried about being affected by the imminent battle, so he quietly moved away.
After backing out a few li, Li Cheng grabbed the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and used the Immortal Spirit Step to leave.
After hundreds of steps, Li Cheng sighed silently, “The Kunlun Realm has become very dangerous!”
“Master, with your mastery over the Law field, what’s there to fear? Together, even an Immortal Emperor might not be able to retain us!” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle spoke.
“Are you that overconfident? Is it because Senior Yan Bei didn’t strike you down hard enough last time?” Li Cheng said speechlessly.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle remained silent. It remembered that back in the Land of Chaos, Yan Bei really couldn’t manage to capture it on two attacks, and it felt sure it could have escaped if not for Li Cheng’s intervention.
Li Cheng, however, knew all too well that the first time Yan Bei had been caught off guard and the second time, he had been there, preventing Yan Bei from giving his all.
Otherwise, how could the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle have escaped?
Yet this clearly made the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle overly confident. A mere Daluo Golden Immortal dares to look down upon an Immortal Emperor?
“Give me a Universe Mystery Stone, and a piece of Immortal grade Sky Meteorite Stone; I’m preparing to refine an artifact,” Li Cheng said.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle quickly raised its head, its eyes showing some reluctance.
Whether it was the Universe Mystery Stone or the Sky Meteorite Stone, both were treasures for it to enhance its cultivation. How could it easily give them away? That was practically asking for its life!
Li Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, “What are you hesitating for?”
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle hastily took out Universe Mystery Stone and Sky Meteorite Stone the size of a fist, “I wasn’t hesitating, I was finding the two biggest ones!”
Li Cheng glanced disdainfully at the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, “The biggest ones? That’s it? How did I end up with such a stingy mount?”
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle opened its mouth and finally gritted its teeth, “These are really the biggest ones!”
“Who believes? But it doesn’t matter, this will suffice,” Li Cheng said. As his Immortal Sense spread out, he searched for a suitable place.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, it hadn’t seen any benefits. It was both working hard and contributing treasures. Was there any mount more unlucky than itself?
Alas!
The heart of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was filled with bitterness.
One day later.
The eyes of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle were brimming with excitement, and a human-like smile spread across its turtle face. “Master, if only you had said so earlier, with such a powerful Law Immortal Artifact, I really should have contributed the largest Universe Mystery Stone!”
Li Cheng held an Immortal Palace in his hands, which was almost identical to the Master’s Grace Immortal Palace he had refined previously. More than two years could be spent inside it, while only one day passed in the outside world. However, this Immortal Palace naturally contained more Laws than the Master’s Grace Immortal Palace, exactly forty-six thousand five hundred.
Moreover, Li Cheng had expended great efforts to set up a Defense Array, making the defenses of this Immortal Palace far surpass the Master’s Grace Immortal Palace.
With a thought, he stored the Immortal Palace into his Dantian and then said, “Head north and hurry on our way!”
The expression of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle stiffened. “Master, with such a powerful Law Immortal Artifact, shouldn’t we take our time to cultivate inside it? Wouldn’t it be faster to continue our journey after we reach the Immortal Monarch Realm?”
A light flashed in Li Cheng’s eyes. “Right!”
“Haha, Master, I’m clever, aren’t I? Bring it out quickly; let’s go in and cultivate!”
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was full of anticipation. It sensed that the Immortal Palace contained over ten thousand Laws of Time and Space combined, and the flow of time within it was astonishing.
If it could cultivate for tens of thousands of years inside, it was confident that it could greatly improve itself with the help of the Laws.
Li Cheng took out the Immortal Palace and set it on the back of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle. “Hold it steady. I’m going in to cultivate. You just keep heading towards the Divine Palace Region!”
Without waiting for a response from the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, Li Cheng had already entered the Immortal Palace.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle stood there stunned. “Master, aren’t you going to take me with you? You’re letting me travel alone?”
” Stop talking nonsense!”
Li Cheng’s voice came from inside the Immortal Palace.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle felt as though Li Cheng had brutally stabbed it in the heart, and it continued on its way reluctantly.
Inside the Immortal Palace, Li Cheng started inspecting the contents of the Storage Ring that belonged to the elder who was an Immortal King.
“Over a million Immortal Stones, nine fourth-grade Immortal Elixirs, one fifth-grade Immortal Elixir, and some miscellaneous items. This Immortal King is so poor…”
Li Cheng was at a loss for words.
Indeed, he was poor, so poor that he didn’t even have an Immortal Artifact.
The fourth and fifth-grade Immortal Elixirs had little use for Li Cheng.
Those Immortal Stones couldn’t increase his Cultivation by much.
All together, they weren’t even worth one to two percent of an Immortal Infant.
Casually tossing the Storage Ring into a corner of the Immortal Palace, Li Cheng then took out the corpse and Immortal Fire surged, preparing to burn it. “Don’t waste it. Let the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle swallow it! After all, it’s the Immortal Body of an Immortal King. It’s very nourishing,” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan said.
Li Cheng hesitated. “Isn’t this a bit inappropriate? Eating human…”
“It’s eating meat. Isn’t it normal for turtles to eat meat?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan cut off Li Cheng’s words.
Li Cheng pondered, then threw the corpse out of the Immortal Palace. “Whatever, you’ll get used to it.”
Not caring about how the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle would react, Li Cheng took out the Immortal Infant. “The Immortal Infant of an Immortal King, I wonder how much it can increase my Cultivation level.”
“Its power is very pure and robust; it’s approximately equivalent to a sixth-grade Immortal Pill that enhances Cultivation. My estimate is that it could bring you to the level of a Perfect Daluo Golden Immortal,” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan suggested.
Without a soul or consciousness, the Immortal Infant was essentially like a Pill, only a source of power condensed from Immortal Yuan Force.
If it could help him reach the level of a Perfect Daluo Golden Immortal, Li Cheng would be very satisfied.
“Master, come out quickly and see, the Sky-reaching Road!”
Just then, the excited voice of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle rang out.
