Li Cheng was quite looking forward to Lei Yuan’s talent.

The first three disciples were all quite extraordinary, and this fourth one must be no different; otherwise, he wouldn’t have caught the system’s eye.

However, contrary to Li Cheng’s expectations, after examining Lei Yuan with his Spiritual Sense for a moment, aside from noticing Lei Yuan’s exceptional roots and physique, nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.

Such a physique, after all, was probably only enough to rank high among the Inner Sect Disciples, but it wasn’t top-notch.

“That’s strange!”

Li Cheng pondered, could it be like Yun Tianqiong, who had astonishing comprehension and would later gain a significant opportunity?

After musing for a while, Li Cheng directly used the Law to sense in detail.

This time, he finally discovered the anomaly; Lei Yuan’s body seemed to resonate with a certain Law between heaven and earth, and this resonance was constant!

That Law, Li Cheng had seen upon Enlightenment but had not comprehended it.

“It seems to be… the Law of Fate?”

Li Cheng was somewhat uncertain because fate was the most mysterious of all existences. There indeed were Laws of Fate between heaven and earth, but cultivators almost never believed in fate, leading to very little knowledge about its existence.

Those cultivators who claim ‘My fate is mine to control, not heaven’s’ every day, if they knew this truth, it’s uncertain how they would feel.

If one’s cultivation can’t transcend heaven and earth, how can one escape fate?

“It really is the Law of Fate, this kid’s body resonating with the Law of Fate undoubtedly indicates a very powerful special physique related to fate!”

Li Cheng thought, if he were in any other sect, there would definitely be no records related to fate.

But the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was different; Heavenly Mechanism could also be seen as an expression of fate.

Thus, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had such records. The Ancestor Master Tianji Zi, the founder, had a special physique related to fate.

Moreover, the Scripture Repository of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect contained records stating that special physiques related to fate fell into twelve major categories: life, death, calamity, fortune, luck, disaster, and so on, without specifying how many kinds there were under the twelve categories.

After all, the world wasn’t unchanging, under the various Laws, no one could clearly say how many special physiques that had never appeared before might come forth.

“I understand now, no wonder he has the Innate Eye Technique; this eye technique is an expression of the fate physique!”

Li Cheng realized that in this case, he truly needed to ask Mu Xingzhi for the Heaven Destiny Immortal Scrolls.

The Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, though strong, was not the most suitable for him.

The Heaven Destiny Immortal Scrolls were, and with his affinity for the Law of Fate, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to at least comprehend the rules of fate if not the Law itself.

However, after practicing the Heaven Destiny Immortal Scrolls, brawling and fighting would not suit him anymore, but rather divining secrets and strategic planning would.

But then again, having been the young master of Lei’s Commerce, he was never someone to engage in constant brawling; perhaps strategic planning was more suitable for him.

Seeing Li Cheng lost in thought for a long time, Lei Yuan, although impatient, still held back.

Finally, Li Cheng spoke, “The cultivation technique 1 passed on to you earlier, don’t practice it just yet. Understand it a bit, as there’s something more suitable for you.”

Though he expected Lei Yuan to be disappointed, Lei Yuan instead breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good to hear, Master. Actually, I was just about to say, that technique is too overbearing and doesn’t suit my nature, hehe.”

“Li Cheng, you’re planning to pass on the Heaven Destiny Immortal Scrolls to him, aren’t you?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan floated out, smiling.

Li Cheng nodded, “It shouldn’t be a problem.”

The smile on Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan’s face deepened, “I also want to pass on a technique to him!”

“Oh? That’s great news!” Li Cheng said with a smile, for what the Immortal Emperor intended to teach could not be anything ordinary.

“I plan to teach him one of the Tianyuan Nine Techniques, the Sky Covering Hand!”

Li Cheng’s brow raised slightly, he had thought the Tian Yuan Nine Techniques were all about swordsmanship; it seemed there was more to it!

After a slight hesitation, Li Cheng said, “How about you pass it to me first, and after 1 comprehend it, then 1 pass it on to him?”

The Tianyuan Nine Techniques, that was this guy’s signature move. Even if it was just one move, it was still tempting!

Moreover, if he were to transfer it to Lei Yuan, he could gain times for enlightenment.

“What are you thinking? Only after you’ve mastered the Chaos Yuan Eighteen Swords will we talk about it. If I’m still not dust and ashes by then, I’ll consider it,” the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan disapprovingly said.

Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders, “With his Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, can he learn your Sky Covering Hand?”

“Even learning a little can be endlessly beneficial, why not?” the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan retorted.

“Alright, then you pass it on. How long will it take?”

“Don’t we have half a year here? Just give me half a year, and I guarantee he will learn a bit of it.”

Li Cheng was speechless. To practice an Immortal Emperor’s signature skill, and just to get a bit of it, would take so long?

His cultivation was too low. Touching such a high-level thing was difficult for him.

The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan took Lei Yuan aside to teach him, while Li Cheng was glad for the leisure time to sit down cross-legged, ready to continue his enlightenment of the Chaos Yuan Eighteen Swords.

With fifteen times of enlightenment left, one time would surely lead to the enlightenment of the Ninth Sword.

With the remaining fourteen times, Li Cheng planned to continue the enlightenment of the laws, as he had a deep understanding of the power of laws.

Half a month passed, and just as Li Cheng expected, he comprehended the Ninth Sword, while the Time Law also increased from fifty to eighty threads!

Now without any chances for enlightenment left, Li Cheng could only start converting his Immortal Yuan.

Only the last twenty percent was left. Without the assistance of the Heaven and Earth Baptism, he didn’t know if he could complete it within this half year, as it became increasingly difficult.

Outside, the area around the Taoist Mysterious Sect had already become extremely lively. Countless sects and powers had arrived, all just waiting for the grand meet to begin!

To the south of the Taoist Mysterious Sect, in Li City.

The city was bustling with traffic and was extraordinarily lively. However, in this liveliness, one particular courtyard remained noticeably quiet.

This courtyard, known as the Heaven Secret Courtyard, was the local dwelling place of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, spanning an area of five square miles.

A thousand people from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had arrived, and at this moment, they were all strolling around the city, except for the senior members who stayed in the courtyard.

“I forgot to tell Junior Uncle that our courtyard is here. I don’t even know where he has settled down,” the Seventh Elder said with a helpless look on his face.

“With Junior Uncle’s status, are you still worried that he won’t eat well or have a suitable place to stay?” the First Elder said as he shook his head, continuing, “What we need to concern ourselves with now is the Sect Master!”

Everyone unanimously turned their gaze to the main seat, where Mu Xingzhi was sitting. His face was pale and his breath was disordered, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.

However, Mu Xingzhi seemed to have entered a trance and did not hear what everyone said.

After a while, Mu Xingzhi slowly opened his eyes, only to suddenly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Everyone was startled and rose to their feet, looking at Mu Xingzhi with concern, “Sect Master!”

Mu Xingzhi waved his hand, took out a pill, and swallowed it, his expression solemn as he looked at everyone, “Quickly invite the Sect Masters from the various major sects!”

“I will send the message right away,” the First Elder said, taking out a Message Jade Slip.

Mu Xingzhi’s expression was so solemn; something bad must be about to happen. How could they dare slack off?

“No, from the First Elder to the Ninth Elder, you guys go in person!”

“From the Tenth Elder to the Seventeenth Elder, you ail get moving too, and bring all the disciples back,” Mu Xingzhi instructed.

The Elders looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.. They weren’t allowed to use the Message Jade Slips?
