Finished?

Li Cheng smiled without replying, thinking, “Even though you made a mistake, you still refuse to believe it, finished my foot!”

But clearly Chu Jianghan wasn’t willing to listen, so Li Cheng simply stopped bringing it up.

“Master Li, I’ve delivered the Grand Honorary Order to you. My task is accomplished; it’s time to return and share the good news with my father,” Chu Jianghan said, bowing respectfully.

Obviously, this fellow now regarded Li Cheng as a son of a Grand Honor, an existence on par with his father, and naturally due courtesies were a must.

“The Immortal City is about to open, President Chu isn’t going to take a look?” Li Cheng changed the subject.

After all, the matter of the Grand Honor’s son was certainly going to be a shock to the Hundred Calamities Commerce Union in the future.

Shaking his head, Chu Jianghan replied, “An Immortal City left behind by an Immortal Emperor is naturally very enticing, but nothing is more important than delivering good news to my father. Master Li, I shall take my leave now!”

After Chu Jianghan left, it wasn’t long before Mu Xingzhi and the Seventh Elder hurried over. Mu Xingzhi, holding the Immortal Pill with a somewhat nervous expression, said, “Junior uncle, please store this Immortal Pill quickly. If people from the major powers knew it was in my hands, it would spell trouble for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.”

This was an Immortal Pill, and moreover a second-grade one; even though its main function was to prolong life, whoever consumed it would undoubtedly experience a surge in cultivation. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

Li Cheng took the Immortal Pill and turned his gaze to the outside of the Eighteenth Peak. He saw that a great number of powerful figures had already gathered in the sky outside the Eighteenth Peak, standing miles away, gazing over here.

The greed in many eyes was hard to hide.

After storing the Immortal Pill in his Storage Ring, Li Cheng cupped his hands towards the people outside the mountain peak without saying much, startling them into hurriedly returning the gesture, not daring to harbor any bad intentions.

In the Southern Domain of today, who didn’t know of Li Cheng’s strength? He was the terrifying existence who almost single-handedly brought the Artifact Sect to its knees.

Little did they know, Li Cheng was now capable of slaying Golden Immortals. Zhuo Canghai, the Golden Immortal from the lower world of the Artifact Sect, was only in the late-Golden Immortal stage of cultivation, and wasn’t he now reduced to a Remnant Soul obediently residing within the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod?

If it weren’t for the fear that completely obliterating him would cause the Artifact Sect to send even stronger individuals down from the higher realms, not even his Remnant Soul would have been spared!

Mu Xingzhi relaxed, indeed, all it took was for the junior uncle to put away the Immortal Pill, and it dissipated the greed of countless people.

“Sect Master, I’ll go to the Taoist Curiosity Sect with Feng Wanli first. We’ll meet outside Tian Yuan City later!” Li Cheng said.

Mu Xingzhi nodded, “You probably want to meet your junior brothers and sisters first, right? Of course, that’s fine. However, 1 suggest you ride the Sky-covering Cloud Roc over there.”

With the opening of Tian Yuan City imminent, riding the Sky-covering Cloud Roc would surely be of great help to Yun Tianqiong and others.

“The Sky-covering Cloud Roc is much faster than the flying warship, and its size far surpasses it. It might as well replace the flying warship,” Li Cheng said.

“That’s certainly a good thing. Who knows how many disciples from various sects wish to ride the Sky-covering Cloud Roc? This time their wishes will come true!”

A smile appeared on Mu Xingzhi’s face, apparently, he wanted to ride as well.

The Sky-covering Cloud Roc, after all, was an Immortal Beast, inherently proud, and aside from their master, how could others hope to ride them?

But the Sky-covering Cloud Rocs could be said to have been hatched by Li Cheng using the Law of Life, so they revered Li Cheng greatly. With just one word from him, they would obediently listen.

Therefore, after giving instructions to the two Sky-covering Cloud Rocs, Li Cheng rushed to the Taoist Mysterious Sect with Feng Wanli and Qin Wuhun.

At noon, Taoist Mysterious Sect, in the plaza at the foot of the mountain where the Universe Mystery Tower was situated, hundreds of elite disciples gathered, all possessing at least Nascent Soul stage cultivation. In some smaller sects, each of these disciples would be regarded as ancestors.

But at the moment, they were either shouting with excitement or sighing with emotion, looking every bit like ordinary onlookers, completely lacking the demeanor of Nascent Soul stage powerhouses.

Despite the distance, Feng Wanli frowned and said, “These disciples are just asking for trouble. Instead of cultivating diligently, they only know how to gather for excitement.”

Li Cheng smiled and said, “They’re being taken care of as we speak.”

In the arena, Yun Tianqiong’s Nascent Soul Stage peak aura burst forth, surrounded by surging Sword Intent, as he sparred with a Disciple at the Divinity Transformation Stage from the Taoist Mysterious Sect. However, the Disciple from the Divinity Transformation Stage was completely overwhelmed by Yun Tianqiong, gasping for breath and unable to fight back.

The Disciples of the Taoist Mysterious Sect sighed upon seeing this, but only Qi Jingtian was clapping and cheering continuously, which annoyed the surrounding disciples but they were helpless to do anything about it.

Soon, Yun Tianqiong’s opponent admitted defeat, sighed, and with a fist cupped in the other hand, said, “Brother Yun, your combat power is peerless. I admire you!”

Qi Jingtian moved next to Yun Tianqiong and said, “Of course, I admire our Eldest Senior Brother the most!”

“It seems that nobody will be able to take this King Grade Spirit Transforming Dan today,” lamented Qi Jingtian as he raised the jade bottle in his hand.

For over a month, Yun Tianqiong and Qi Jingtian hadn’t been cultivating in the Universe Mystery Tower but had been seeking out disciples of the Taoist Mysterious Sect for sparring instead.

According to Yun Tianqiong, cultivating the Sword Dao wasn’t about meditating in seclusion; it was about constant battle and honing one’s Sword Intent.

Qi Jingtian strongly agreed with him, so for more than a month, the two of them were either fighting or on their way to a battle.

The Disciples of the Taoist Mysterious Sect at the same Realm had all been challenged by them, and now they had even started to challenge those of higher Realms.

As Li Cheng and his two companions landed in front of the Universe Mystery Tower, their Immortal Sense was focused on the plaza below the mountain. Feng Wanli looked somewhat embarrassed and said, “Your two disciples are very strong, indeed!”

He had realized that Li Cheng’s disciples were luring Taoist Mysterious Sect disciples into challenges with a King Grade Breakthrough Pill as bait!

What embarrassed him was that among the vast Taoist Mysterious Sect, apparently no Disciple of the same Realm could defeat Yun Tianqiong and Qi Jingtian.

“That very handsome young man has condensed a Nascent Sword and also possesses a unique Sword Body. He is invincible in the same Realm, and it’s not certain that he would even lose when stepping up a Realm. That’s truly impressive!” Qin Wuhun was generous with his praise.

“And that burly young man who looks like a towering iron figure is even more frightening. With such a terrifyingly strong physique, even though he’s only at the mid-Nascent Soul Stage, he can easily fight across Realms relying on his physical body,” Qin Wuhun added.

“They are both disciples of Li Cheng,” Feng Wanli said to Qin Wuhun, his look conveying a message as if to say: Leave some face for the Taoist Mysterious Sect.

Qin Wuhun, curious, looked at Li Cheng and asked, “Master Li, how many Disciples have you taken? Surely, they can’t all be as monstrously talented as these two?”

“I currently have four, and of course, not all of them can be as monstrous,” Li Cheng casually replied.

Understanding, Qin Wuhun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That makes sense. Such monsters aren’t that common in the world. Having two is already quite impressive.”

Feng Wanli’s mouth twitched and he said, “You actually believed Li Cheng’s modesty?”

Modesty? Are you saying I still underestimated Master Li’s disciples?” Qin Wuhun was astonished. Could there be Disciples even more monstrous than Yun Tianqiong and Qi Jingtian?

Feng Wanli smiled without saying a word but suggested to Li Cheng, “Let’s enter the Universe Mystery Tower first, shall we?”

Li Cheng nodded and glanced at the Universe Mystery Tower. He had indeed planned to refine a Time Immortal Artifact, but he hadn’t had the chance to do so yet.

Ling Xi and Lei Yuan were essentially always inside the Universe Mystery Tower. As Li Cheng and the two others arrived, they both stood up and bowed respectfully.

Qin Wuhun scrutinized the two seriously, and his expression gradually turned to one of astonishment.

Li Cheng paid no attention to Qin Wuhun.. With a smile, he approached the two, about to speak when his face suddenly showed a look of shock!
