Chapter 374: Chapter 374: 308 The Origin of Blunt Empty Residence_2

However, the treasures hidden here were likely almost all obliterated.

“Alright, follow me, let’s settle the matter before anything else,” said Blunt Empty Venerable as he walked towards the small courtyard.

The others followed, and Li Cheng turned to Laojiu, “Laojiu, you mentioned earlier that the Demon Race has been actively mobilizing to capture or kill me. Now, we need you to transform into me and accompany Mansion Venerable to the Land Puppet Mansion. Are you willing?”

Laojiu snapped back to reality and smiled, “Master Li, aren’t you belittling me? Even if I have to lay down my life for you, I wouldn’t bat an eyelid.”

Li Cheng admired Laojiu, and the feeling was mutual.

“You won’t need to risk your life. In a moment, I will lead a strand of my Divine Soul into your Divine Soul to change its aura. As long as you have enough trust in Li Cheng, there won’t be any risk. Once we’re at the Land Puppet Mansion, I will do my best to help you enhance your cultivation,” said Blunt Empty Venerable.

Laojiu was flatteringly grateful and hurriedly bowed deeply.

While they spoke, the group had reached the courtyard. Blunt Empty Venerable surveyed the familiar setting and, with a smile, walked under the Heaven Origin Divine Tree, “Let’s begin!”

Li Cheng nodded, separated a strand of his Divine Soul, and floated it in front of Laojiu.

Laojiu took a deep breath. He knew he had to relax completely, especially his subconscious, and not reject this strand of Li Cheng’s Divine Soul, or else both would be harmed.

“Once you’re all adjusted, call me,” said Blunt Empty Venerable.

Laojiu nodded firmly, “I’m ready!”

Blunt Empty Venerable waved his hand and sent the strand of Li Cheng’s Divine Soul into Laojiu’s sea of consciousness, where it slowly merged with Laojiu’s Divine Soul.

As expected, under his own control, Laojiu’s Divine Soul showed no resistance at all!

In a short while, Laojiu’s Divine Soul had taken the aura of Li Cheng. From now on, all it would take was for Li Cheng to retrieve this strand of the soul, and Laojiu would regain his original aura.

“The Laws Li Cheng masters are not few; you can attempt to comprehend them by using this strand of his Divine Soul,” Blunt Empty Venerable said, looking at Laojiu, who now only needed to transform into Li Cheng’s likeness.

An excited glint was hard to mask in Laojiu’s eyes. Through this Divine Soul, he could sense that Li Cheng had comprehended a total of over one hundred and eighty million Laws!

The most mastered are the Space Laws, having become a Space Law Envoy!

No wonder Emperor Xuankong said that a great opportunity had arrived for him!

Whether it was comprehending Laws through this Divine Soul or going to the Land Puppet Mansion, both were huge opportunities!

Returning to his senses, Laojiu transformed into the likeness of Li Cheng. To those unfamiliar with Li Cheng, there was no trace of difference.

And to see through this technique, one would need a cultivation surpassing that of Blunt Empty Venerable.

“You will follow Li Cheng and familiarize yourself for two days; after that, we will set off,” Blunt Empty Venerable added.

This was simply to understand and imitate as many habits as possible because having the same appearance and aura, yet different habits, could raise suspicions among those who knew him well.

“It seems I also need to change my identity,” Li Cheng said with a smile.

Since he needed to stay within the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty, he naturally could not retain Li Cheng’s appearance, otherwise the ploy of “The Cicada Sheds Its Carapace” would be in vain.

Li Cheng turned into the appearance of his eldest disciple, Yun Tianqiong. Before heading to the Land Puppet Mansion, he would go incognito as the eldest disciple.

After all, no one in the Divine Realm recognized the eldest disciple, Yun Tianqiong.

“How shall I address you?” Emperor Xuankong asked, looking at Li Cheng, who had changed his appearance and aura, and smiled.

Li Cheng clasped his hands in a salute, “Yun Tianqiong!”

“Unless it’s absolutely necessary, do not use the Demon Suppression Order; after all, it can’t change, and as soon as you use it, others will recognize you,” reminded Emperor Xuankong.

Li Cheng nodded, “As we have the honor of Blunt Empty Senior and Your Majesty’s presence, why not sample the Snow Spirit Fish?”

Laojiu earnestly learned Li Cheng’s habits, and after two days, a significant event that shook the Xuankong Domain occurred!

Not only within the Xuankong Divine Dynasty, but almost the entire Xuankong Domain was abuzz with discussion!

“Do you know? I’ve heard that Li Cheng’s Pill Artifact Array has alarmed Mansion Venerable. He will come to the Xuankong Divine Dynasty in person today to meet with Li Cheng!”

“You just found out? There’s already a line several tens of miles long at the Transmission Array; countless people are rushing to the Xuankong Divine Dynasty, just to witness the glory of Mansion Venerable in person.”

“Ah? That’s what I thought, wondering what the queue was for; so that’s the reason!”

…

This scene unfolded across various Divine Dynasties within the Xuankong Domain.

Mansion Venerable was both a Divine Venerable fighter and the ruler of the Land Puppet Mansion, any identity deemed worthy of reverence.

Within Xuankong Imperial City, the atmosphere was somewhat congested, especially at the site of the Hundred Dynasties Meeting, it was indeed so.

Throughout the Imperial City, countless cultivators looked up at the sky above the Imperial City, eagerly awaiting.

It was high noon when a thick and vigorous presence emerged in the northern skies!

In the square, Emperor Xuankong, wearing a dragon robe, was the first to bow, saluting toward the north with respect, “Greet Mansion Venerable Master with reverence!”

His voice spread throughout the entire imperial city.

The next moment, every cultivator in the square and imperial city bowed down in unison, chanting, “Greet Mansion Venerable Master with reverence!”

Amidst the shouts, the Blunt Empty Venerable, with white hair and beard, walked through the air, not concealing the aura of the Divine Venerable Realm radiating from him.

He stopped above the square, his face full of warmth, like a spring breeze blowing into the imperial city, invigorating everyone.

“Rise, I have heard that a remarkable master has emerged in the Xuankong Domain, the mastery of the three Pill Artifact Arrays is said to be supreme, and I have come especially for this matter!” Blunt Empty Venerable said.

“Replying to Mansion Venerable Master, it is indeed as you have heard, this person is Li Cheng, a participant for the Kongqian Heavenly Dynasty,” Emperor Xuankong declared loudly.

The gaze of Blunt Empty Venerable swept over the square, eventually resting on the stands of the Kongqian Heavenly Dynasty.

“Our respects to Mansion Venerable Master!”

All the members of Kongqian Heavenly Dynasty, led by Kong Linfeng, paid their respects.

Kong Linfeng then said, “Mansion Venerable Master, this is Master Li Cheng at my side!”

Blunt Empty Venerable nodded, “Li Cheng, I have come from Land Puppet Mansion to take you to Fu City, are you willing?”

This statement made countless people tremble with excitement!

Indeed, Master Li Cheng, with his astonishing accomplishments in the three Pill Artifact Arrays, was bound to catch the attention of the Land Puppet Mansion, but it was unexpected that Mansion Venerable Master himself would come and even more so that he would take Li Cheng away.

Who would not be happy about such an event?

That is the Land Puppet Mansion, being personally escorted by Mansion Venerable Master. Once in the Land Puppet Mansion, one would certainly be second only to one above ten thousand.

Amidst numerous envious gazes, Li Cheng bowed and said, “Many thanks for Mansion Venerable Master’s deep kindness; I am willing!”

The next moment, with a casual wave from Blunt Empty Venerable, Li Cheng appeared by his side.

Blunt Empty Venerable looked at Emperor Xuankong and nodded slightly, “Your Xuankong Domain is very impressive, especially the Kongqian Heavenly Dynasty. I am taking away their Pill Artifact Array master, you should take good care of the Kongqian Heavenly Dynasty from now on.”

“Yes! Mansion Venerable Master!” Emperor Xuankong bowed in a salute, and when he stood up, both the Mansion Venerable and Li Cheng had disappeared.

“Truly a Mansion Venerable Master, with cultivation at the level of a Divine Venerable, who knows how many billion miles away he is with just a thought.”

“Haha, I never expected to actually see Mansion Venerable Master in person, I’ve not lived in vain this lifetime!”

…

With Mansion Venerable and Li Cheng gone, the Xuankong Imperial City was abuzz as if boiling.

By Kong Linfeng’s side, Li Cheng, who had disguised himself as Yun Tianqiong, breathed a sigh of relief, “If you’re going to act, you need to commit to the role, now I can stay behind with peace of mind.”

Kong Linfeng nodded, “Don’t be careless, better safe than sorry, do you truly not require me to send a Divine King for your protection?”

“Thank you for Your Majesty’s kind intentions; no one recognizes me now, so there should be no issues,” Li Cheng replied with a smile.

Kong Linfeng didn’t insist and said, “If there’s any trouble, just use the Golden Order, nothing within Kongqian cannot be settled with it.”

Li Cheng smiled. Originally, Kong Linfeng, in his role as the deputy head of the Demon Suppressing Department, had given him the Golden Order which he had never used. But now, it was inconvenient to reveal the Demon Suppression Order, so the Golden Order would come in handy.

Within the range of the Kongqian Heavenly Dynasty, the Golden Order naturally was not comparable to the Demon Suppression Order.

“Your Majesty, I will say goodbye to Emperor Xuankong and then head back to Kongqian,” Li Cheng said.

Kong Linfeng nodded, “Go ahead! Many thanks to you!”

Li Cheng smiled, said his farewells to Emperor Xuankong using a transmitted message, and then headed straight for the Transmission Array.

Sensing that Li Cheng had left, Emperor Xuankong approached the people from Kongqian, who hurriedly greeted him.

If you’re going to act, you need to commit to the role, Mansion Venerable Master had said to take good care of Kongqian Heavenly Dynasty, so he naturally had to meet with Kong Linfeng.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that with the care of the Xuankong Divine Dynasty, it wouldn’t take long before Kongqian Heavenly Dynasty would rise rapidly!

All of this seemed normal to everyone.

Li Cheng had already returned to the Kongqian Heavenly Dynasty through the Transmission Array and immediately went straight to Savage City.

It was time to track down the Dark Dragon Demon Monarch!

Once the Dark Dragon Demon Monarch was slain, he would be a three-star Demon-suppressing Envoy!
