Has the black robed man grown timid?
Li Cheng was somewhat surprised, âWhich tribulationâs Loose Immortal are you?â
âEighteenth tribulation!â the black robed man said, his face filled with reluctance.
âJust like your ancestor!â Li Cheng turned his head to Feng Wanli, and without waiting for a reply, he continued, âAn Eighteenth Tribulation Loose Immortal, why so cowardly?â
Living for over ten thousand years, in Li Chengâs eyes, should make one a tough bone to chew.
Yet this fellow, upon hearing soul-searching was to be used, volunteered information before it even began.
âA man can be killed but not humiliated! What do you really want to know?â the black robed man snapped.
Li Chengâs face wore a smile. This was probably the strongest tone used to speak the wimpiest words.
âWho is your main body?â Li Cheng asked.
The black robed man looked confused, âWhat main body?â
Li Cheng threw the manâs storage ring to Feng Wanli, âFind the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal.â
Feng Wanli inspected the storage ring and indeed found it inside.
The Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal, it was still there.
Upon sensing the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal, Feng Wanli was shocked, âThis guy is actually not an incarnation!â
Li Cheng also felt with the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal and truly, there was no connection between it and the black robed man.
This was strange!
âYou assassinated him, why?â Li Cheng inquired.
The black robed man glanced at Feng Wanli and said, âHe is from the Lower World, surely carrying good things from the Immortal World. I assassinated him, obviously for the treasure.â
Not because of the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal? Feng Wanliâs eyebrows furrowed.
âRegarding the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, tell us everything you know!â Feng Wanli demanded.
The black robed man frowned, âThe Ten Thousand Evils Cave is so mysterious, how would I know? You donât think Iâm one of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, do you?â
âQuibbling? If youâre not one of them, then why did you kill those two to silence them?â Feng Wanli pointed at Bai Tieyi and the old Sect Master.
âIt wasnât to silence them, itâs just that they were from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave! The Ten Thousand Evils Cave is our common enemy. Since I encountered them, of course I had to kill!â the black robed man declared righteously.
Li Cheng shook his head, âIâd better search your soul. This guyâs lies are untrustworthy.â
âExactly, he doesnât go after the many Loose Immortals of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, but instead he comes after those two. Indeed, he cannot be trusted,â Feng Wanli nodded in agreement.
âDonât, Iâm telling the truth. I am just an ordinary Loose Cultivator, with an irreconcilable hatred for the Ten Thousand Evils Cave. Donât search my soul!â
Soul-searching is very risky unless thereâs a great disparity in cultivation.
This was the first time Li Cheng was performing it, certainly not confident, and the worst outcome would be the disintegration of the manâs soul.
Without another word, Li Chengâs Spiritual Sense surged as he began the soul- searching.
After half an hour, Li Cheng withdrew his Spiritual Sense, feeling a bit dizzy in the head, and only after channeling the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture did he feel a bit better.
âHow was it?â Feng Wanli asked eagerly.
Li Cheng looked at Feng Wanli, âI feel like youâre setting me up. Turns out, soul-searching isnât all that pleasant!â
Regarding the Eighteenth Tribulation Loose Immortal, his Nascent Soul swayed unsteadily like a drunkard, no doubt feeling as if his world was spinning.
âLucky for him, his soul did not scatter, or else I would have wrongly killed him,â Li Cheng added.
Feng Wanli raised an eyebrow, âWhat do you mean âwrongly killedâ? He destroyed my body, remember?â
âThatâs true, then Iâll leave him to you to deal with,â Li Cheng said with a smile.
âNo, the point is the result of your soul-searching!â Feng Wanli urged.
Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders, âHeâs indeed not a person from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave. He comes from a major sect in the Central Continent, and he arrived over a thousand years ago. Heâs done his fair share of robbing and plundering.â
Feng Wanli became more and more puzzled as he listened, âThe cultivation conditions in the Central Continent are much better than here. Why did he come here to do what?â
âHe had an affair with their Sect Masterâs Dao companion and was chased by the entire sect, so he fled to the Southern Domain. Donât worry about it, Iâll leave him to you to deal with.â
âYouâd better handle it properly, otherwise, if his sect ever finds a clue, that could be bad!â
Through soul searching, Li Cheng saw that the guyâs sect was powerful, far surpassing the top ten sects in the Southern Domain.
So, since he was passing the buck to Feng Wanli, it was still necessary to give him a heads-up.
Feng Wanli looked at Li Cheng speechlessly. How could he not know that Li Cheng was dumping this on him?
But what of it? This guy destroyed his physical body. How could he not take revenge?
Li Cheng did not concern himself with how Feng Wanli would deal with the man, but flew towards the Heaven Secret Courtyard.
âLittle Shishu (Junior Martial Uncle)!â Mu Xingzhi and the others came up to greet him.
Li Cheng nodded slightly, âHave those two said anything?â
Mu Xingzhi sighed, âThey joined the Ten Thousand Evils Cave and took the oath of the Heavenly Dao, so they havenât said anything.â
Li Cheng was secretly amazed. How many benefits did the Ten Thousand Evils Cave offer them for them to swear an oath of the Heavenly Dao?
âLittle Shishu, may I take full responsibility for dealing with them?â Mu Xingzhi asked again.
Li Cheng nodded, not asking how he intended to deal with them. After all, he was the Sect Master, and he didnât want to meddle too much in sect affairs.
âMaster!â Lei Yuan, with his eyes wrapped in black cloth, bowed respectfully.
âJust in time, Sect Master, thereâs something I need to discuss with you!â
Li Cheng casually set up a Sound Isolation Array to envelop the three of them, then said, âSect Master, have a look at my fourth disciple.â
âDid he injure his eyes? Donât worry, Little Shishu, Iâll find the best Healing Pill for his treatment right away,â Mu Xingzhi said.
Li Cheng chuckled, âThatâs not the point. The point is his physique.â
Mu Xingzhi looked at him skeptically for a moment, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
But he knew his little Shishu would definitely not be joking with him, so he activated the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, ready to probe with the Heaven Secret Technique.
As soon as he started, he seemed to have discovered something, his expression immediately turning to surprise, gradually becoming overjoyed!
âLittle Shishu, I understand now. Iâll pass on the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll to him right away!â Mu Xingzhi joyfully said.
As soon as he activated the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, he sensed the special nature of Lei Yuanâs body, exactly the type of physique recorded by the founding Ancestor Master. How could he not understand? This was the perfect candidate for practicing the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll!
âHowever, Little Shishu, once he cultivates the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, he will become a future Sect Master, and his daily life must be at the Heaven Secret Peak. This is the rule set by the founding Ancestor Master,â Mu Xingzhi telepathically said.
Li Cheng pondered for a moment before replying, âThat doesnât affect the fact that he is my disciple, does it?â
Mu Xingzhi also fell silent. By right, the lineage of the Sect Master was always passed down from one generation to the next, but Little Shishu clearly did not want to let go of his disciple.
This meant that Lei Yuan would not be Mu Xingzhiâs disciple, but his junior martial brother.
This seemed not to be violating any rules.
Realizing this, Mu Xingzhi nodded, âIt doesnât affect.â
Li Cheng smiled, âThen thatâs settled. When he is free, he can come to the Eighteenth Peak. It doesnât matter much where he lives on ordinary days.â
Mu Xingzhi was naturally overjoyed, as he had yet to find a successor for the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll. Now, at last, he had one.
And a successor with the most suitable special physique for cultivating the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll. Given time, he was sure to greatly develop the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll!
While they were speaking, strong figures from various major sects were converging toward the Heaven Secret Courtyard.
Li Cheng withdrew the Sound Isolation Array, âThe important figures from various major sects have arrived. It seems thereâs something they need to discuss. You go ahead and deal with that first. Finish that before you pass on the technique.â
Mu Xingzhi shook his head, âThey must be here to visit Little Shishu, and they must need something from Little Shishu, too!â
