Li Cheng also looked at Ye Chenfeng with some surprise. To condense his Immortal Body here?
This meant that he could no longer return to the Kunlun Realm.
Ye Chenfeng nodded with a smile, âThatâs right, Iâve made my decision. Since thereâs a chance to escape the Loose Immortal Tribulation, why wouldnât I take it?â
The Loose Immortal Tribulation occurred once every thousand years, and those who had not experienced it did not know the pain involved.
One didnât know whether they could survive the next Loose Immortal Tribulation, living in constant fear and trepidation. The agony was probably similar to facing execution.
âTaoist Friend Ye, think this through carefully. Once you do this, youâll be unable to leave these Ancient Ruins. Even if the Ascend to Immortal Platform departs, you wonât be able to go to the Immortal Realm!â Feng Wanli said.
Ye Chenfeng chuckled, âWhat does it matter? Itâs quite nice here. I never planned on going to the Immortal Realm.â
âThis Ye Chenfeng, heâs Elder Qingfengâs avatar!â the voice of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan transmitted into Li Chengâs mind.
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow imperceptibly, âAre you sure?â
âOf course, Iâm sure. My guess is that the old guy condensed an avatar to leave the Ancient Ruins, probably to find help in dealing with the trouble of the Wood Elf Clanâs Life Divine Tree.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Immortal Emperor Tianyuanâs words sent Li Cheng into contemplation.
He hadnât paid much attention to Ye Chenfeng; instead, it was Feng Wanli who noticed something strange about him and reminded Li Cheng of it.
âThe trouble with the Life Divine Tree has already been resolved, so why has Elder Qingfeng not revealed his avatar?â Li Cheng asked.
âI donât know. Maybe he just finds it amusing.â
Li Cheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, âIf he is Elder Qingfengâs avatar, many things make sense. But what does it matter? They are friends, not foes.â
âHmm, I was just saying. But letâs not talk about this. Arenât you going to check out the Ascend to Immortal Platform?â Immortal Emperor Tianyuan changed the subject.
âI just asked you about that. Iâm afraid that once I enter, I may be sent to the Immortal Realm.â
âItâs not that easy. Once you enter the Ascend to Immortal Platform, you need to use your own power to activate it. You have to get it to a certain level to activate its power and open the passageway. Even a Heavenly Immortal at Complete stage wouldnât be able to do it alone!â Immortal Emperor Tianyuan explained.
So, even if a Loose Immortal found the Ascend to Immortal Platform, they would need multiple people to cooperate in order to open the passageway, unless they were comparable to a True Immortal and could do it on their own.
âThen let me go in and have a look. If thereâs a way to keep the Ascend to Immortal Platform here, that would be great!â Li Cheng said and dashed into the light shield.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was taken aback and after a long pause, finally said, âThat idea of yours, Grand Venerable Bai Jie had it too. Back then, he invited more than ten Immortal Emperors to join forces, and well, you know the result!â
Li Cheng, who was inspecting the Ascend to Immortal Platform, asked puzzledly, âIf so many of you couldnât keep it in place, then how did those in the Immortal Realm manage to conceal it?â
âUnclear. Perhaps itâs easier to conceal it than to keep it in place, or maybe the key to the Ascend to Immortal Platform is in the Immortal Realm. Who knows, who among the mighty Immortal Emperors has the leisure to study it?â Are Immortal Emperors that busy?
Li Cheng shook his head, âIâll study it first.â
Li Cheng had already walked a circuit around the Ascend to Immortal Platform, which was two miles in diameter. Apart from the lines on it resonating with various Law fluctuations, he found nothing else out of the ordinary.
Even without a Formation, without any traces of having been refined, everything seemed extremely natural, as if created by the Order of Heaven and Earth.
Elder Qingfeng and the others were also scrutinizing it closely, no doubt unable to discover anything.
âThe Ascend to Immortal Platform connects the Immortal Realm and the Lower World. I always feel that it should be man-made. Perhaps my Cultivation is too low, my vision too limited to see it,â Li Cheng sighed and transmitted.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was silent for a few seconds, then laughed, âYour idea is quite bold!â
Li Cheng smiled, âThese lines are filled with various Law energies. Itâs like they are integrated with the Order of Heaven and Earth. After being activated with power, itâs like making the Order of Heaven and Earth temporarily open a door!â
âUnder such a situation, in the past, I would have definitely thought it was a natural formation. But now that I possess quite a few Laws myself, I have a different perspective.â
âBut the method of refining an Ascend to Immortal Platform with artifact refining techniques so that it merges with the Order of Heaven and Earth is beyond my understanding, hence the bold guess,â he mused.
The Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan fell silent, lost in thought.
âTch, tch, this Ascend to Immortal Platform really doesnât show any clues, probably what they call âreturning to simplicity and truthâ,â the voice of Monkey Kongxu sounded, laced with a hint of helplessness, as if it had lost interest in the Ascend to Immortal Platform.
The others shook their heads too; they did not possess Laws like Li Cheng, so they could not sense the Lawâs aura that the patterns on the Ascend to Immortal Platform were emitting.
âBenefactor, have you discovered something?â Elder Qingfeng inquired.
Li Cheng shook his head, âNo, but I plan to cultivate here for some time.â
The crowd was astonished. Monkey Kongxu quickly said, âBrother, what if the Ascend to Immortal Platform runs away, then you might end up following it to who knows where!â
âNo matter where it runs, it will still be within the Kunlun Realm, itâs not a problem,â Li Cheng laughed.
Feng Wanli hastily shook his head, âNo, what if it runs off to other major domains, getting back to the Southern Domain wonât be easy then.â
With Tianyuan Cityâs opening imminent, Li Cheng was again stirring things up; what if he could not make it back in time and missed Tianyuan City?
He did not realize that the opening of Tianyuan City was controlled by the Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan; it was up to the Emperor to decide when to open it.
Li Cheng looked at Feng Wanli and smiled, âIf that happens, please look after my disciples. If they leave the Universe Mystery Tower, help arrange someone to send them back to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.â
Feng Wanli reluctantly said, âYou could choose another place to cultivate. Thereâs no need to do it here. What if you accidentally activate the Ascend to Immortal Platform and it takes you to the Immortal World?â
No sooner had his words fallen than a light shone in Feng Wanliâs eyes, âThatâs right, hurry up and cultivate, cultivate well!â
This was a golden opportunity; he was about to return to the Immortal Realm himself. If he could go with Li Cheng, that would be perfect!
So, Feng Wanli changed his attitude in an instant, no longer dissuading Li Cheng but instead becoming supportive.
Cultivate quickly!
If, while cultivating, he happened to ascend by accident, that would be marvelous!
Li Cheng, hearing Feng Wanliâs intent, slightly raised his eyebrows, âThatâs right, thanks to your reminder, I will cultivate beside it and not step foot on the Ascend to Immortal Platform!â
If he were to cultivate on the Ascend to Immortal Platform, with the potency of his own Immortal Yuan, it was very possible that he could activate the platform!
To wake from cultivation and find oneself in the Immortal World would be most lamentable!
He still hadnât taken in his fifth disciple, and there were many things yet to be done!
Thus, Li Cheng sat cross-legged just outside the Ascend to Immortal Platform, his Immortal Sense enveloping it as he once again commenced to sense it meticulously.
âEnlightenment!â
The next moment, Li Chengâs aura appeared to fuse with heaven and earth, entering the state of enlightenment once more!
âThis guy, the moment he mentions cultivation, itâs enlightenment; isnât that too terrifying?â Feng Wanli murmured to himself.
Hearing Feng Wanliâs mutter, the various clan leaders had mixed expressions, Yanqing expressed doubt, âDoes Master Li often have moments of enlightenment?â
That couldnât be possible, could it?
In this Order of Heaven and Earth, enlightenment was not uncommon; one could usually experience it once in a few thousand years. But to think that every time he cultivated, he achieved enlightenment? That, he did not believe!
And from Feng Wanliâs words, it seemed that Li Cheng had frequent moments of enlightenment even outside.
Feng Wanliâs face carried a smile, but he said nothing. The extent of Li Chengâs prowess was not something they needed to know!
Nevertheless, he was curious, what could be attained from enlightenment beside the Ascend to Immortal Platform?
