Mu Xingzhi and Lin Zuo hastened toward Li Cheng’s courtyard, closely followed by Gu Sanqiu.

“Lin Zuo, this rascal, must know the identity of this Loose Immortal. That’s why he has been accompanying him all the way, indicating his status is not ordinary,”

“Moreover, this Loose Immortal seems to be over forty tribulations. Having passed so many Loose Immortal Tribulations is practically abnormal.”

“But now that the Kunlun Realm has recovered, ninety-nine percent of Loose Immortals are busy condensing their Immortal Bodies to become true Immortals. Why doesn’t this Loose Immortal condense his Immortal Body? If he did, his cultivation would definitely reach the level of an Immortal Monarch or even higher.”

Gu Sanqiu mumbled to himself, his face filled with confusion.

Loose Immortals who have passed more than thirty tribulations are few and far between, let alone over forty it’s as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

To Gu Sanqiu’s knowledge, the strongest Loose Immortal would undoubtedly be Grand Venerable Bai Jie from those bygone days.

Mu Xingzhi and Lin Zuo sat opposite each other in Li Cheng’s courtyard, sipping tea and waiting quietly.

Gu Sanqiu approached the courtyard at an unhurried pace, and both Lin Zuo and Mu Xingzhi stood up. Lin Zuo said respectfully, “Alliance Hierarch, this is Tianji Zi, the Sect Master of Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Sect Leader Mu.” “So it’s League Master Gu, I’ve long heard of you. Greetings, League Master Gu!” Mu Xingzhi quickly bent forward in a bow.

Everyone knew of Gu Sanqiu’s great reputation, but this was Mu Xingzhi’s first encounter with him.

Gu Sanqiu’s eyebrows rose imperceptibly-no wonder Lin Zuo had been accompanying him all along. It turned out to be the Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!

With a cupped-fist salute, Gu Sanqiu said with a smile, “So it is Sect Leader Mu. We’re all on the same side here. There’s no need for formalities. Please, have a seat again!”

While speaking, Gu Sanqiu gave Lin Zuo a sharp look and transmitted his voice, “You rascal, when did Sect Leader Mu arrive? You didn’t even report to your League Master?”

Lin Zuo’s face displayed helplessness, “Alliance Hierarch, you were in seclusion. Before you secluded yourself, you told me to take full charge and not to disturb you.”

You did it on purpose, hmph, I’ll settle the score with you later!” Gu Sanqiu responded curtly before turning his cheery gaze toward Mu Xingzhi.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Sect Leader Mu, you must have crossed forty-five or six Loose Immortal Tribulations, right? I’m truly impressed!” Gu Sanqiu said with a hearty laugh. Mu Xingzhi, too, smiled broadly, “All thanks to the junior martial uncle. As you know, League Master Gu, junior martial uncle can effortlessly refine Emperor Grade Pills.”

Gu Sanqiu understood; it turned out Li Cheng had refined Emperor Grade Responding to Calamity Pills, and it seemed he had refined quite a few of them. Only Emperor Grade Responding to Calamity Pills could elevate a Loose Immortal to such a high degree.

Nodding his head, Gu Sanqiu laughed, “Wherever Li Cheng is, that place is blessed. Whether it’s your Heavenly Mechanism Sect or my Pill League, we are all fortunate thanks to your junior martial uncle!”

Mu Xingzhi naturally agreed wholeheartedly with this statement.

Without the junior martial uncle, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would still be the declining sect dangling at the tail end of the top ten sects.

But now, with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect revered in the Southern Domain and having taken advantage of the space wormholes opened by Li Cheng, they had expanded to the Central Continent. After controlling the South Mysterious Territory of Central Continent, they have grown immensely powerful.

All of these achievements were credits to Li Cheng.

Changing the subject, Gu Sanqiu continued, “Since we re all on the same side, it stands to reason that the Pill League and Heavenly Mechanism Sect should further cooperate.”

For the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, this was undoubtedly another great opportunity.

The Pill League was incomparable to any Pill Sect in the Southern Domain, housing countless Pill Masters. To form an alliance with the Pill League was naturally an unimaginably beneficial proposition.

Mu Xingzhi clasped his hands together and said with a smile, “Whilst it’s a desired offer, in front of League Master Gu, I’m afraid I’m not qualified to discuss this matter. The Heavenly Mechanism Sect of the Immortal World will move back to the Kunlun Realm in three months, and at that time, I will invite our Ancestor Master to speak with League Master Gu about this!”

Gu Sanqiu, having controlled the Pill League for over a million years and being a formidable entity with the cultivation of a Perfect Immortal Emperor himself, knew too well of his own standing.

In front of Gu Sanqiu, he was nothing but a wet-behind-the-ears junior.

Gu Sanqiu’s eyes revealed surprise, and as if he thought of something, he said, “In three months? I think I know why it’s been set for three months from now. Vice Alliance Hierarch Lin, immediately send a message to the Immortal World, all Alchemy Dao Immortal Masters, to station at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, for the next half year, everyone must follow Tianji Zi’s arrangements!”

Lin Zuo and Mu Xingzhi were both shocked by Gu Sanqiu’s command!

The Pill League’s direction for all Alchemy Dao Immortal Masters to station at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was to bolster its influence!

And to follow Tianji Zi’s arrangements for the next half year indicated that Gu Sanqiu had sensed the crisis that the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would face due to the relocation!

Mu Xingzhi had considered the consequences the relocation of an Immortal Realm sect would provoke, but at this moment, he realized he had vastly underestimated the complexity of the situation.

What kind of crisis was it that could lead Gu Sanqiu to make such a decision?

“To my knowledge, the Immortal Court has been putting heavy pressure on the Heavenly Mechanism Sect for tens of thousands of years. If the Heavenly Mechanism Sect relocates, the Immortal Court will definitely not sit idly by!” “But with the involvement of the Pill League, I believe the Immortal Court will think thrice before taking any action.”

Having said this, Gu Sanqiu looked towards the area where Li Cheng was in closed-door cultivation.

Mu Xingzhi bowed in respect and said, “I thank you on behalf of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect for the great kindness of League Master Gu!”

Gu Sanqiu waved his hand dismissively, “First, Tianji Zi is my good friend, but I never expected that old bastard to keep this matter from me.”

To be able to call someone an ‘old bastard’ indicated that the relationship was either extremely bad or extremely good, clearly, theirs was the latter.

“Second, Li Cheng is the future Alliance Hierarch, and he can assume the position whenever he wishes. Consider this decision as one he has made!”

After speaking, Gu Sanqiu looked towards Lin Zuo, and Lin Zuo nodded, “I’ll go handle this right away!”

Not long after Lin Zuo left, Li Cheng emerged from his closed-door cultivation!

Perfect Immortal King!” Gu Sanqiu raised his eyebrows, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

“Li Cheng’s place of closed-door cultivation is extraordinary. In just three short months, he has advanced an entire major realm!”

Hearing Gu Sanqiu’s voice filled with surprise, Mu Xingzhi was nonchalant and laughed, “Whatever happens to my junior grandmaster that’s beyond common knowledge, it doesn’t surprise me. It’s good for League Master Gu to get used to it.”

Gu Sanqiu was speechless and shook his head, “In three months, he has completed the Immortal King realm. There’s only one possibility, that is his place of closed-door cultivation possesses a Time Immortal Artifact!”

He knew that Li Cheng must have been refining the Rising Yuan Immortal Pill during his closed-door cultivation, but it was impossible to complete in three months, not even in three years!

An Emperor Grade Seventh Level Rising Yuan Immortal Pill, no matter how monstrous a person is or how powerful their Cultivation Technique is, it would still take at least decades to refine completely.

Therefore, Gu Sanqiu was certain that Li Cheng was in closed-door cultivation within a Time Immortal Artifact!

“A Time Immortal Artifact? It seems my junior grandmaster has refined another one,” Mu Xingzhi murmured.

“Another one?” Gu Sanqiu promptly gazed at Mu Xingzhi.

Mu Xingzhi nodded, “I don’t mean to conceal it from League Master Gu, but our Heavenly Mechanism Sect has a Seven Mystery Tower with seven floors. Spending seven years on the seventh floor translates to only one day passing in the outside world; it was refined by my junior grandmaster!”

Gu Sanqiu’s eyes showed a look of amazement, “Such a powerful Time Immortal Artifact is rare even in the Immortal World, and it was refined by Li Cheng?”

Mu Xingzhi smiled and pondered, “Actually, my junior grandmaster once mentioned that compared to alchemy, he is even more skilled in Artifact Refining!”

Li Cheng had indeed said this before.

However, when these words reached Gu Sanqiu’s ears, they carried a different weight.

His eyes widened as he slowly shifted his gaze towards Li Cheng, who was now emerging from the room. With such a heaven-defying Pill Skill, yet he said he was even more proficient in Artifact Refining?

Brother Gu, why are you staring with such wide eyes? Are you trying to scare me to death?” Li Cheng walked out from the room, jokingly said..
