BXBX NOVEL Chapter 219 - 218 Where is Your Dignity?_i
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan looked utterly astounded. Li Cheng, a dignified Immortal Monarch, could actually say something like this?
“Submit tome!”
Anyone overhearing this would surely think it was the ravings of a madman. What was key was the calm tone in which Li Cheng spoke, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
That mole, no matter how lowly, was a mutated creature and a Daluo Golden Immortal–didn’t it have any dignity?
Li Cheng pondered, “What I said is fine, right?”
He then looked toward Elder Tu, “How about it?”
Damn!
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan felt on the verge of collapse. Weren’t you being too perfunctory? If you want to subdue someone, at least show something impressive, like overwhelming strength, to make the other party capitulate.
Sure enough, he saw Elder Tu widen his small eyes in utter disbelief!
Seeing Elder Tu’s expression, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan laughed. Just watch, the mole is going to explode in the next second.
For anyone, this would be an unspeakable humiliation!
But contrary to Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s expectations, Elder Tu’s face retained its disbelief as he exclaimed in shock, “Really? You truly want me to follow you?”
Huh?
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s eyebrows shot up. What was going on now? This mole seemed quite willing, almost afraid that Li Cheng wouldn t take it in? Have they all gone mad? What’s happening with everyone?
“Of course it’s true. It’s settled then. But I will take half of your soul origin,” Li Cheng said with a smile as he reached out his hand.
Elder Tu’s face lit up with joy, and without a word, he offered up his soul origin to Li Cheng.
This scene left Immortal Emperor Tianyuan baffled. Is it really this simple to subdue a Daluo Golden Immortal level spirit creature?
Just a word, and the creature agreed excitedly? Looking as if it couldn’t ask for anything better?
What sort of situation was this? A respectable Daluo Golden Immortal, where was your dignity? Your pride?
It made no sense. What has become of the world?
In a blink of an eye, the mole had completed its submission, causing Immortal Emperor Tianyuan to question his life’s beliefs.
“Li Cheng, did you know it would submit?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan asked doubtfully.
Li Cheng shook his head, “I had no idea, but it’s always worth a try, right? Its abilities are pretty good.”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan then turned to Elder Tu, “You, a high and mighty Daluo Golden Immortal, just submit so eagerly? I really can’t understand it!”
Elder Tu bowed respectfully and cracked a smile, “I sensed the presence of a Divine Beast here, and originally I wanted to inquire about following the Divine Beast. But then I thought, the Divine Beast must have submitted to the master already!”
“If that’s the case, by submitting to the master as well, I’d be considered a brother to the Divine Beast!”
“Being the Divine Beast’s underling or its brother, a wise man would choose the latter!”
“Besides, the master’s Immortal Palace is an unprecedented holy site for cultivation; how could I miss out?”
Elder Tu’s explanation left Li Cheng somewhat taken aback. There you go, it turned out this guy had sensed the aura of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and wanted to follow it—that was the main reason. As for the holy site for cultivation, that excuse seemed a bit flimsy.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, understanding the situation now. Divine Beasts, they are the natural-born kings among monster cultivators, just like Ao Qianchi, who is followed by countless Immortal grade monster cultivators.
This mole is quite smart, being a subordinate of Li Cheng, his status is at least equal to that of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle.
“It seems that the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle has been in seclusion here for nearly two hundred years,” Li Cheng looked toward a secret chamber deep within the great hall.
He could sense that the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle had already reached the Immortal Monarch Realm, but that guy showed no signs of leaving seclusion.
“The lord is actually the legendary Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle! This is a stroke of luck…” Elder Tu became even more excited, rubbing his hands together as if he could hardly wait to rush into that secret chamber and meet him.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shook his head slightly, “Having tamed him is good, Li Cheng. Your three disciples have caused trouble; it’s the perfect opportunity to let the mole act as a Protector.”
Li Cheng had been busy with alchemy previously and hadn’t paid attention to the situation of Gu Bikong and the others, but Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, being free from other affairs, naturally observed the three of them in secret.
“What trouble?” Li Cheng asked, his expression calm.
“The outer city of South Mysterious City is controlled by the South Mysterious Alliance, and Jiang Fan killed their Young Alliance Master. At this moment, the South Mysterious Alliance has already gathered a large number of experts and is searching everywhere for the three of them,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said.
Li Cheng glanced at where the three disciples were in seclusion, shook his head and chuckled. These three troublemakers had run back to diligently cultivate after stirring up trouble.
Being in the Immortal Palace, the South Mysterious Alliance naturally couldn’t find them.
Li Cheng casually tossed a bottle of Immortal Pills to the mole, “Go cultivate, I’ll call you if there’s anything.”
The mole didn’t rush to check the jade bottle but asked, “The South Mysterious Alliance is but a minor power; want me to just go and wipe it out?”
Li Cheng shook his head, jokingly said, “The South Mysterious Alliance is just a subsidiary of the Inner City; if you want to wipe out something, go wipe out the Inner City!”
The mole’s expression stiffened, joking about what? The Inner City was the core of the South Mysterious Territory, controlling eighteen mansions, teeming with powerful individuals. Even Immortal Venerables might not manage to do anything to the Inner City, let alone him, a Daluo Golden Immortal.
However, he heard it; Li Cheng didn’t care for such trivial squabbles.
“Li Cheng, what are your plans?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan asked, discerning that Li Cheng already had a plan in mind.
Li Cheng smiled, “The South Mysterious Territory borders the Kunlun Southern Region. If we could employ the people of the Inner City for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, then both the Southern Domain and the South Mysterious Territory would be in our hands!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded; earlier they had put the Wuting Domain leadership under their control, but since Wuting Domain was governed by Bright Moon Mansion, and Bright Moon Mansion in turn by the South Mysterious Territory, simply controlling Wuting Domain wasn’t very useful. Only by making the entire South Mysterious Territory submit to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect could they maximize the development of both the sect and the Southern Domain.
“The South Mysterious Territory controls nearly two thousand domains, each not smaller than the Southern Domain. If we can directly control the high levels of the South Mysterious Territory, that indeed would be good. However, the Inner City is full of powerful characters, with several Immortal Kings among them. With your current power, it’s uncertain!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan spoke frankly; it was the truth.
In a fight alone, Li Cheng wouldn’t fear an Immortal King. But with several Immortal Kings in the Inner City, plus the great protective arrays, perhaps other hidden measures were present.
Li Cheng nodded, “Such matters should, of course, be left to Elder Yan. I’ve already sent a message to the Sect Master for him to arrange the specifics.” “As for me, I’m preparing to continue heading north. Emperor Qing, half the Divine World, the Land of Chaos, I have a feeling that I can’t delay any further.” “Moreover, we suspect that the Tower of Chaos is secretly protecting Jiang Fan. It’s a good opportunity to try and lure it out while I’m traveling north.” Listening to Li Cheng, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded in satisfaction, seemingly having hoped for Li Cheng to do just this all along.
Meanwhile, the mole was filled with shock. No wonder Li Cheng was indifferent to such small skirmishes; his sights were set on something as significant as the South Mysterious Territory!
At this level, it was no longer something he could intervene in.
In recent times, Li Cheng had been to the Inner City many times and had become quite familiar with it, ready to make use of the Inner City’s Transmission Array to go directly to the Divine Palace Region.
The Divine Palace Region was the core area of the Kunlun Realm, home to many long-standing powers and hidden ancient tribes. Now, as the Kunlun Realm was reviving, that was the true gathering place of the powerful.
Soon, Li Cheng stepped onto the Transmission Array, hoping that the Pen of Life and Death, the Fire Mysterious Realm, all were in that place.
