Chapter 209 - 208: The 7th Disciple i
“The Nirvana Holy Body, why is it endowed with the term ‘Nirvana’? That is because this type of physique, after breaking and then establishing itself, is reborn like a phoenix from the ashes, with an immense enhancement in all aspects of the body.”
“But it’s just a preliminary awakening after all. Being able to accommodate some of the Life Laws is already defiant of the heavens, so how can it hold any other Laws?”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said, his figure materializing beside Li Cheng, yet only Li Cheng could see him.
Li Cheng nodded, abandoning the thought of trying further, “His body’s integration with the Life Laws truly defies the heavens. I myself only began to comprehend Laws during the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.”
These words caused Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s already ethereal form to tremble violently, “Kid, can you not use the word ‘just’ when you speak? Others in the Immortal Emperor Realm can only condense Laws, and you directly comprehended them during the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and you still say ‘just’?”
Li Cheng was startled, then laughed, “That’s not the point. The point is that Gu Bikong currently has no cultivation whatsoever, yet he has already merged with a hundred Life Laws!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s mouth twitched, “Can you compare the two? These Laws are just merged into his body, enabling him to more easily communicate with heaven and earth to comprehend the Rule Power, not that he has directly comprehended these Laws.”
“This situation is like a person possessing a peerless secret manual, but that’s just having the manual. Whether they can practice it is another matter.”
Li Cheng naturally knew this, but those one hundred Life Laws within the body truly granted him a certain degree of immortality and an astonishing self-healing capability!
“In the future, his comprehension of various Rules will be extremely easy. Others might have a slim chance of communicating with heaven and earth to comprehend Rule Power with the aid of Emperor Grade Spirit Pills, whereas he has Laws merged within his body, allowing him to sense and use them for comprehending Rule Power, with an astonishingly high starting line,” Li Cheng said.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, “Naturally, but his sister isn’t so lucky, with mediocre talent. Without a great opportunity in this life, becoming an Immortal would be difficult.”
Li Cheng glanced at Gu Biyue; indeed, her talent was very average.
But having accepted Gu Bikong as a disciple, he naturally couldn’t leave Gu Biyue behind; he had to take her along as well.
With this thought, Li Cheng said, “Actually, meeting us is this girl’s great opportunity!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was taken aback, staring and saying, “Can you just pretend by yourself, without dragging me into it?”
Li Cheng’s statement was too pretentious — meeting him was her great opportunity?
However, upon reflection, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan couldn’t refute it because what Li Cheng said was the truth!
Meeting Li Cheng for this girl meant not actually worrying about mediocre talent; even without any cultivation talent, she would easily become an Immortal.
Moreover, he believed that Li Cheng would definitely concoct Emperor Grade marrow cleansing pills to transform this girl with average talent into a cultivation genius.
Before long, Gu Bikong had fully recovered, looking radiant and valiant. Despite having lost all his cultivation for the time being, he still had the demeanor of an eminent figure.
Gu Bikong, sensing the changes in his body, knelt respectfully, “I thank senior for granting me a rebirth. Please accept me and my sister as disciples; my sister and I will definitely serve our master loyally…”
“Stand up first!” Li Cheng interrupted Gu Bikong.
Gu Bikong hastily bowed his head, and Gu Biyue also quickly knelt down, with the siblings bowing continuously.
The two were not fools; Li Cheng had previously asked if they had heard of the ten great secret books, indicating that Li Cheng had the intention to teach, so at this moment, they had to strike while the iron was hot and seek discipleship!
Li Cheng looked at the two siblings bowing constantly; accepting Gu Bikong was a given, but Gu Biyue… Well, it was just a matter of not receiving rewards from the system.
It was not a big deal; he could make her a nominal disciple.
With this thought, Li Cheng nodded, “From this moment on, Gu Bikong, you are my seventh disciple, and as for Gu Biyue, you will be a nominal disciple for now.”
[Successful discipleship, reward: 2 Enlightenment opportunities. I
[Current remaining Enlightenment opportunities: 92.1
Gu Bikong stopped himself from speaking, clearly wanting to plead for his sister, yet feeling already quite contented.
Li Cheng waved his hand casually, and figures of light appeared before him. Among them was Yun Tianqiong and others.
He pointed to the figure made of light and said, “Your senior brother Yun Tianqiong, second senior brother Qi Jingtian, third senior brother Lei Yuan, fourth senior brother Qing Yun, senior sister Ling Xi, and second senior sister Yan Yao.”
“Qing Yun is currently cultivating in the Southern Domain, while the others have already become Immortals. From now on, you should take your senior brothers and sisters as your role models and cultivate diligently.”
Upon hearing Li Cheng’s words, the siblings found it somewhat difficult to swallow. Six senior brothers and sisters, and five of them had already become Immortals!
One must know, an Immortal was considered a supremely exalted existence in their eyes!
“I am Li Cheng, the Eighteenth Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Southern Domain. In a few days, I will bring you back to the sect. For now, I will impart to you the methods of cultivation.”
After speaking, Li Cheng casually threw the Immortal Palace beside him, where it expanded to about a zhang in size, and walked in with the two disciples.
This Immortal Palace was not like the Seven Mystery Tower that restricted cultivation; both mortals and Immortal Emperors could enter.
“Master, is this a space treasure? It doesn’t look that big from the outside, but it’s so spacious inside!” Gu Biyue asked curiously.
Li Cheng smiled and said, “One might consider it a space-time treasure. Spending a little over two years inside would only be one day in the outside world.”
This statement made the siblings’ eyes widen in astonishment.
“That means, if we cultivate inside, we can easily surpass our peers!” exclaimed Gu Biyue, astonished.
A glint flickered in Gu Bikong’s eyes, “The people from our village who joined the sects are mostly at the Golden Core Stage now. If we cultivate here for a hundred years, only a month or so would pass in the outside world. With this advantage, we can indeed easily outstrip them.”
“You’re thinking too small. Sit down. I’ll first impart to you the cultivation methods,” Li Cheng gestured.
As the two disciples sat, Li Cheng’s glabella emitted two beams of light that entered the brains of the disciples.
These beams of light contained the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture and his own understanding of it, directly enlightening them. They would surely be able to embark on the right path swiftly.
After a brief contemplation, Li Cheng also condensed some basic knowledge of the Kunlun Realm into beams of light and transmitted them into their brains.
The siblings were growing increasingly shocked as they assimilated the knowledge within the beams of light.
No wonder their master said they were thinking too small. What was the significance of the Golden Core or Nascent Soul Stage in the vast and boundless Kunlun Realm?
“Once you embark on the path of cultivation, the journey will become incredibly long. The process of cultivation is a process of continuously breaking through oneself. Remember, the road ahead is long and has no end, yet high and low I’ll search with my will unbent.”
Li Cheng’s words echoed in the minds of the two disciples.
The siblings keenly pondered over Li Cheng’s words and the two beams of light.
Boom!
Suddenly, a slight tremor came from the Immortal Palace, barely perceptible to the siblings.
Li Cheng, however, frowned. Not interrupting the siblings, he stood up and exited the Immortal Palace.
Outside the Immortal Palace, a young man, who appeared to be in his twenties, held an Immortal Sword and was channeling Immortal Yuan, fiercely slashing towards the Immortal Palace!
Boom!
A filmy light emerged on the Immortal Palace, effortlessly withstanding the young man’s sword strike and sending him reeling back.
But the young man was not deterred and once again channeled his Immortal Yuan, continuing his assault.
Just as he was about to strike again, the gates of the Immortal Palace opened. The young man hastily stopped and fixed his gaze on Li Cheng, who was stepping out.
“An Immortal Monarch? May 1 ask, is this your Immortal Palace?” he greeted with a bow and a smile..
