“Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture?”

Feng Wanli immediately widened his eyes, exclaiming in shock, “How do you know about the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture?”

Li Cheng looked down on Feng Wanli with contempt. “And to think you’re considered an early-stage Heavenly Immortal, getting scared just by the name of a cultivation technique?”

Feng Wanli took a while to steady his mind, frowning, “An early-stage Heavenly Immortal? No, that’s wrong, I’m a complete Heavenly Immortal!” Still pretending?

Li Cheng was speechless; this guy really had some thick skin.

“That’s not the point. The point is the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture. Just the name scared you so much—tell me what’s going on.”

Feng Wanli was astonished. “Alright, I was indeed scared because this cultivation technique is taboo!”

Taboo?

Is it because this cultivation technique is powerful?

“In the Immortal World, there are ten great mysterious scriptures, and the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture ranks first. It’s said to have been passed up from our Kunlun Realm. As for why it became taboo, I’m not clear on that.”

“But anyone who practices the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture will be hunted by countless strong beings in the Immortal World once they’re exposed!”

As he spoke, Feng Wanli looked earnestly at Li Cheng, the implication clear had he acquired the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture?

Li Cheng remained calm. “Because the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture is powerful, countless strong beings want to seize it, so it became taboo?”

Feng Wanli shook his head. “Maybe that’s a reason, but there’s surely more to it. The last known cultivator to practice the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, it is said, was the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan a hundred thousand years ago, but he hasn’t shown himself in a hundred thousand years.”

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng grew suspicious. Could that remnant soul have been the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan?

After a brief contemplation, Li Cheng felt sure it wasn’t, for that remnant soul wasn’t very strong, and an Immortal Emperor is the most powerful being in the Immortal World.

Such beings, even if only a fragment of their soul remained, wouldn’t be something he and two nine-caliber Tribulation Loose Immortals could possibly shake, right?

Moreover, that remnant soul had said it was merely a True Immortal.

As for its skull containing the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, maybe it was obtained by chance, especially since the scripture starting from the tenth layer was incomplete, not whole.

It’s also possible he was a descendant of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.

Too bad he escaped—if he’d been caught, things could have been made clear.

“Li Cheng, you haven’t acquired the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, have you?” Feng Wanli finally couldn’t help but ask directly.

Li Cheng looked untroubled. “No, I’ve just heard that there is such a cultivation technique in the Kunlun Realm, so I asked.”

Feng Wanli let out a secret sigh of relief. “That’s true. We in the Kunlun Realm are all curious about the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture; after all, it’s a cultivation technique that was passed up from our realm and it’s ranked first among the ten great mysterious scriptures of the Immortal World.”

“Who created it?” Li Cheng curiously asked.

To devise such a powerful cultivation technique while residing in the Lower World was outrageously phenomenal.

Feng Wanli shook his head. “It’s far too ancient, probably taking billions of years into account, so who knows?”

“Then that’s a pity. Such a monstrous genius, yet he didn’t leave behind a name.” Li Cheng said.

Feng Wanli chuckled. “It is said that back then, the Cultivation World wasn’t divided into the Lower World and Immortal World like it is now; it was a whole entity with no Heaven Tribulations, allowing one to easily become an Immortal Emperor, or even higher.”

“Perhaps it was precisely because of that era that an ancestor could create such a heaven-defying cultivation technique like the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture!”

Li Cheng glanced at Feng Wanli with curiosity. This was indeed something he had not known about. In that distant past, was there really no concept of ascension?

This was certainly something to be grateful for; otherwise, if he lived in that era with his current cultivation level, wouldn’t he be insignificant?

How much better it is now. Although he is merely complete in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, he can still defeat an early-stage Heavenly Immortal.

Moreover, he now had an additional hundred thousand laws of two types within him that, even without understanding them, made his combat strength far surpass his former self.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng felt quite relieved. Good, this was the kind of progress he wanted!

At this moment, Qi Jingtian awoke, his newly opened eyes brimming with joy, “Master, I’ve entered the threshold of the Array Path!”

[Apprentice Qi Jingtian has entered the threshold of the Array Path, reward: 1 enlightenment chance.]

[Current remaining enlightenment chances: 25.]

The notification sound followed promptly.

Li Cheng nodded, “Entering the threshold is just the beginning, the path ahead is long. Guard against arrogance and rashness, and continue to work hard!”

Qi Jingtian nodded fervently, “With the Comprehension of Array Method from Master, I believe I can make rapid progress in a short time!”

Li Cheng smiled, that would be for the best; he would earn some more enlightenment chances as well.

“Then let’s return to the sect, and you can continue your comprehension after we get back,” Li Cheng said with a smile.

Feng Wanli quickly spoke up, “Li Cheng, are you really not going to pay a visit to Taoist Mysterious Sect?”

Li Cheng, with array patterns emerging around him, merged into the Natural Array and opened a gap, “Of course not, I need to go back to the sect for seclusion!”

Having said that, Li Cheng was the first to step out of the Natural Array.

The two hastily followed, and Feng Wanli, not giving up, said, “Seclusion… go to the Universe Mystery Tower. I’ll make the arrangements; stay as long as you like!”

The Universe Mystery Tower is the Sect’s Treasure of the Taoist Mysterious Sect, where anyone can enjoy the convenience of thirty times the speed of time flow.

It is most suited for seclusion.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Feng Wanli praised himself as a genius, certain that by tempting with the Universe Mystery Tower, he could definitely invite Li Cheng to the Taoist Mysterious Sect!

After all, which cultivator would not want to grow stronger in a relatively shorter amount of time?

Cultivating in the Universe Mystery Tower for a month would mean only a day has passed in the outside world, making it a prime choice for surpassing others.

As long as Li Cheng went, they could take the opportunity to ask him to concoct some pills, and the trip would be worth it!

Li Cheng looked at the hopeful Feng Wanli, “I’m not interested. Don’t bring up visiting the Taoist Mysterious Sect again.”

Feng Wanli’s face, filled with expectation, froze. Not interested in the Universe Mystery Tower?

On second thought, Feng Wanli instantly understood; Li Cheng’s cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and he probably wasn’t ready for the Tribulation Crossing, so there was no need to use the Universe Mystery Tower.

Thinking of this, Feng Wanli forced a smile, “Alright then, no more talk about it. When do you plan to undergo Tribulation Crossing? I’ll come to observe.” Tribulation Crossing?

He had no intention of undergoing Tribulation Crossing!

He had already made up his mind; as long as Heaven Tribulation didn’t come on its own, he would definitely not summon it.

“We’ll see. Your Taoist Mysterious Sect’s flying warship has arrived, let’s part ways here!” Li Cheng said.

In the sky not far off, Wan Zhongshan was leading people in the flying warship, searching the area. They could sense that a battle had taken place nearby, but they had yet to find Li Cheng and Feng Wanli.

The moment the two of them suddenly appeared, Wan Zhongshan and the others naturally flew the warship over immediately.

“Look, Li Cheng and the Ancestor Master are standing side by side. It seems the Ancestor Master has subdued Li Cheng!” someone whispered.

Wan Zhongshan frowned, “That’s not right. If he had been subdued, their positions would indicate a clear superior and subordinate, but now they stand side by side, which suggests the opposite.”

“Is that so? But they seem to be talking and laughing together.”

Wan Zhongshan felt puzzled, wondering what exactly had happened. They hadn’t subdued Li Cheng, yet they were chatting and laughing together.

With that doubt in mind, he maneuvered the flying warship to stop a kilometer away and led the people to descend.

Without waiting for the others to speak, Feng Wanli directly tossed the Emperor Grade Responding to Calamity Pill that Li Cheng had given him to Wan Zhongshan, “Have you not met Master Li Cheng yet?”

Everyone was momentarily stunned.. Had he been subdued or not?
