Chapter 427: Chapter 335: Crossing the Sea of Learning, Ascending Book Mountain - 1
With mixed feelings, soon after, Light Destroying Heaven Venerable hurried over.
"Are you ready?" Light Destroying Heaven Venerable asked with a smile.
Li Cheng nodded slightly, he had already sent the Jade Slip to the Blunt Empty Venerable through Ninety Thousand Miles, and there was nothing else to do, so he could leave at any time.
The smile on Light Destroying Heaven Venerable\'s face did not fade as Divine Power surged around him, enveloping both himself and Li Cheng. Immediately, space began to fluctuate, and the scenery before their eyes started to change.
Li Cheng was keenly sensing the fluctuations around him when suddenly, the spatial fluctuations froze, and Light Destroying Heaven Venerable hastily carried Li Cheng across tens of thousands of miles, then tensed up in alert!
Only then did Li Cheng see that they were surrounded by endless void!
"Gu Xie, you dare block my path but lack the courage to show yourself?" Light Destroying Heaven Venerable\'s eyes shone with a flickering light as he spoke loudly.
"Hehe, Light Destroying, is this the one who disappeared for ten thousand years?" A playful voice sounded.
As the voice emerged, Demonic Qi that made one\'s scalp tingle surged in the void world.
From within the Demonic Qi, a young man with a gaunt appearance walked out slowly.
The young man\'s face was devoid of color, pale as if he were a corpse, and his body was so thin it seemed to be all skin and bones, looking frail as if a casual touch could crush him.
But the eerie aura he emitted gave a profound sense of crisis, as if with a single move, he could turn this world into a land of evil.
As Li Cheng sized up the young man, the latter was also examining Li Cheng, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, then filled with playfulness.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable put Li Cheng behind him and stared calmly at the young man, "So what if he is? Gu Xie, just with you and those two in your Divine World, you can\'t pass my level!"
Gu Xie narrowed his eyes, "It\'s been a hundred thousand years, you seem to have improved quite a bit!"
Gu Xie felt wary when Light Destroying Heaven Venerable mentioned the other two hidden in his Divine World, so he simply released them.
The two figures that emerged were enveloped in Demonic Qi, no less imposing than Gu Xie!
"Blood Demon Emperor, Shadow Demon Emperor, and you, Gu Xie, good. Since you\'ve come, you all shall stay!"
As Light Destroying Heaven Venerable\'s voice rang out, Li Cheng found that the scenery before them had changed again, and they had arrived at the summit of Heaven Pavilion Mountain, right inside Light Destroying Heaven Venerable\'s Divine World!
Looking up, the sky showed the scene from the outside world. Light Destroying Heaven Venerable had already made his move, his Divine Skills bombarding out, and despite the three of them working together, they were pushed back repeatedly.
Their speed was so fast that Li Cheng struggled to see the details of their conflict, he could only sense that Light Destroying Heaven Venerable had the upper hand.
"Between Divine Venerable and Divine Emperor, only a realm apart, yet I can\'t even discern his techniques. The gap is too wide." Li Cheng thought to himself.
In such a situation, even if he reached the Complete stage of the Divine Venerable Realm, he might still be no match for those at the Divine Emperor\'s Realm.
Once, he could fight across realms, but now, it seemed less likely.
The four fought, causing the space of the Void World to tremble ceaselessly, occasionally tearing open fissures in space, which then healed under the force of Heaven and Earth.
Just then, Li Cheng saw a painting scroll flying towards them from a distance in the void.
Gu Xie, Blood Demon Emperor, and Shadow Demon Emperor seemed to also notice and all had serious expressions, "Hua Tianji has noticed, let\'s go!"
Without waiting for the scroll to come close, the three tore through the Void World and fled into the distance.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable was about to give chase when a voice came from within the scroll, "Laoqi, don\'t chase!"
The scroll flew in, slowly unfolding, and Li Cheng saw that within it was a Teleportation Gate.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable let go of Li Cheng and took him a step into the scroll. As the scenery before their eyes changed again, they arrived in a place filled with birdsongs and fragrant flowers.
The robust aura of Heaven and Earth rushed over them, invigorating the spirit.
Li Cheng looked around to see peaks rising everywhere, with white cranes leisurely shuttling between them, stirring the mists.
"We\'re here, let\'s go find your mentor to unlock your seal!" Light Destroying Heaven Venerable said with a smile.
"That won\'t do!" The voice from the scroll came again, and an immortal-like elder appeared.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable gave a fist salute, his brows furrowing as he said, "Fifth Brother, our junior brother has returned, what\'s wrong with unlocking the seal?"
Fifth Brother?
Li Cheng examined the elder, having no recollection of him, but from what he heard earlier, he must be called Hua Tianji.
"Laoqi, the mentor had already entered a sealed meditation, how could we disturb him?" Hua Tianji said with a shake of his head and a wry smile.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable pondered and eventually said no more.
"Our junior brother should go to the Sea of Learning first!" Hua Tianji looked at Li Cheng and added.
No sooner had he spoken than the scenery in front of the three changed, bringing them to an endless sea.
In the sea, there were endless texts shimmering, and upon closer inspection, one could see that the water formed letters as it churned, dissolving with the waves, then reforming into new characters.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable looked at Hua Tianji with some helplessness, "Fifth Brother, you could just talk normally, do you have to invoke divine edicts?"
Because he had simply said they should go to the Sea of Learning and here they were.
Hua Tianji laughed awkwardly, "I didn\'t do it on purpose, Laoqi don\'t mind it, the junior brother hasn\'t said anything!
"The junior brother\'s memories about the Confucian Sect are still sealed, of course, he won\'t say anything." Light Destroying Heaven Venerable spoke irritably.
After a pause, Light Destroying Heaven Venerable continued, "What are we doing here?"
Li Cheng also looked at Hua Tianji curiously.
Hua Tianji pulled out a writing brush and drew a boat in the air. As the boat touched the sea, it instantly became real, "Before the mentor began his meditation, he said that if the junior brother crosses the Sea of Learning and Book Mountain, the seal will be lifted."
