Li Cheng was certain that his master had gone to the Land of Chaos, and since the Astonished God Tripod was already on its way, there was no need for him to worry.

For now, he should prioritize setting up the cross-domain teleportation array, and send the Five Elements Elf Tribe back before anything else.

The Sixth Elder’s eyes sparkled with light, “The Central Continent is rich in resources. If we can open a space-time tunnel, it would be a great thing for the Southern Domain.”

“By then, we could completely station powerful beings to guard it, and just by collecting the toll fees, the sect could make a fortune.”

The Sixth Elder seemed to envision a scene where a large amount of spirit stones flowed into their accounts, and his expression grew more and more excited.

Li Cheng paid him no mind and chose a spot to start constructing the transmission array.

The transmission distance was over two hundred million miles, and since it only required directional transmission, not a fixed point, the task was much simpler, taking only four hours to arrange.

Soon, Li Cheng finished the setup, and the Sixth Elder sat down to the side, reflecting on the array formation process and constantly deducing.

Li Cheng, on the other hand, took advantage of the Space Law to sense the spatial veins, contemplating the construction of the space-time tunnel.

The transmission array was akin to temporarily folding two points in space, making one instantly arrive by crossing through, but it wasn’t suitable for all conditions. Chaotic space-time regions like the Land of Chaos could block transmissions, making it necessary to find a safe path to establish the space- time tunnel.

Once the space-time tunnel was stabilized, it was equivalent to opening a space-time passage, naturally leading to the other side.

But to do this alone, it would undoubtedly be a massive project.

Several days later, Li Cheng awoke, his understanding of the construction of the space-time tunnel clear in his mind. If he were to build it, bringing along the immortals from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave would expedite the process significantly.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s senior members all sitting in meditation not far away, apparently waiting for Li Cheng to awaken.

Li Cheng glanced at them with a puzzled look, “What’s happened?”

Mu Xingzhi immediately stepped forward with the members, smiling, “Junior Master Uncle, we heard you’re preparing to open the space-time tunnel between the Southern Domain and the Central Continent, and we came to observe.”

“Yes, Junior Master Uncle, we think that starting from our sect would mean that we could firmly control the space-time tunnel, being the first to interact with the forces of the Central Continent,” the First Elder said.

Li Cheng looked at the Sixth Elder and wondered, he had only casually mentioned it, and this guy had actually released the news?

The Sixth Elder chuckled sheepishly, “We would have had to open it sooner or later, so why not sooner, hehe.”

Full of speechlessness, Li Cheng said, “Right now, we don’t even know the distance to the Central Continent, but based on my current cultivation, to do such a thing would take at least a few decades. It’s clearly more trouble than it’s worth, so let’s wait a few more years!”

After sending the people of the Five Elements Elf Tribe back, Li Cheng planned to return to Misty City for cultivation, where the environment was extremely conducive for training.

“Sect Master, have the people of the Elf Tribe all been brought over?” Li Cheng changed the subject.

Mu Xingzhi nodded, “They’re all here, currently inside the Seven Mystery Tower. However, it seems like they don’t want to leave at all.”

After the trip to Tianyuan City, some members of the Elf Tribe came to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect with the upper echelons, while the rest remained at the Taoist Mysterious Sect and were only brought over a few days ago.

But once inside the Seven Mystery Tower, these people became reluctant to think of their home.

Cultivating within the Seven Mystery Tower, each one’s cultivation progress tremendously, and they had the opportunity to comprehend various types of Law powers. Who would still want to leave?

Li Cheng pondered, “Sect Master, please arrange for someone to ask them. Those willing to leave do so tomorrow, and those who are not can continue to cultivate at the sect for a few more years.”

Mu Xingzhi laughed, “If that’s howyou put it, then I can be sure that no one will want to leave.”

“It’s fine. If no one wants to return, I will take Ling Xi with me. We should at least explain to the Five Elements Elf Tribe,” Li Cheng said.

The most important thing was to take on disciples!

After so much time, Yan Yao should have come out of her gloom, right?

Taking Ling Xi with him would also be good company for her.

“I would like to see it myself but starting this would mean the Five Elements Elf Tribe would never know peace. So, let’s forget about it,” the Sixth Elder laughed.

The Ancient Ruins, the name alone was enough to draw one’s attention.

If too many people went, the location of the Ancient Ruins would inevitably be exposed sooner or later, possibly bringing trouble to the Five Elements Elf Tribe.

Hence, although the higher-ups were interested, they tacitly chose not to mention it.

“Alright, everyone go and ask those from the Elf Tribe in the tower if they’re willing to return,” Mu Xingzhi said.

Soon, the result came back, just as Mu Xingzhi had expected, not one of the hundred-plus members of the Elf Tribe wished to return, all were eager to cultivate in the tower until they reached the Complete transcendance tribulation stage.

Even Feng Wanli, that guy, no longer wished to wander out and decided to stay in the tower and cultivate until the next person from the Lower World came to find him.

Li Cheng had no choice but to set out with Ling Xi and the four people from the Confucian Sect.

Upon stepping onto the Transmission Array, in an instant, the six of them had arrived in a land of ice and snow.

Li Cheng’s Immortal Sense reached out, covering a range of three hundred thousand miles, and found the tree hollow entrance to the Ancient Ruins.

“The fluctuations in space and time tens of thousands of miles to the north are strong. That must be the Land of Chaos, right?” Yun Fuxue asked.

Li Cheng nodded, “I’ll escort you there.”

“Haha, Master Li, you are too kind. We can walk the remaining journey ourselves,” Qin Wuhun laughed.

They all nodded in agreement, and Yun Fuxue said with a smile, “We do not know when we will meet again after this parting. Take care, Master Li!”

Li Cheng bowed his fists, “Take care, Miss Yun, take care everyone!”

The group flew away into the distance.

Li Cheng stood still until the four were out of range of his Immortal Sense, then he turned towards the tree hollow, “Let’s go too.”

With Ling Xi, he stepped forward, appeared before the tree hollow, and led the way into it.

“Master, you said these Ancient Ruins will eventually appear in the world. When that time comes, will the Kunlun Realm become like the Immortal World?” As they entered the Ancient Ruins, Ling Xi, curious, took in the sight of this land and sky.

According to Feng Wanli’s words, this world was not inferior to the Immortal World, and considering that the former Kunlun Realm could give birth to an Immortal Emperor or even stronger beings, it’s very likely that the Kunlun Realm once stood on equal level with the Immortal World.

Li Cheng nodded, “Senior Tianyuan, aren’t you coming out for some fresh air?”

Without a sound, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan appeared beside Li Cheng and said, “The secrets of the Kunlun Realm are many. Do not speculate wildly. When the day comes, all will be revealed.”

Li Cheng smiled, “I really want to visit other Ancient Ruins, and if I could encounter the legendary ancient battlefields, that would be even better.” “Why didn’t you say so earlier? With Yan Wuxiang’s message, he could at least point out three Ancient Ruins for you,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said.

Ling Xi took over, “Elder Yan is comprehending and condensing laws on the seventh floor, so we didn’t call him. If Master wishes to go, I will ask him to guide us once we return.”

Li Cheng shook his head, “After returning, I’m planning to go to Misty City to cultivate for a while. We can discuss this after I finish cultivating.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan looked approvingly at Li Cheng, clearly he also hoped that Li Cheng would go to Misty City to cultivate.

“Predecessor, do you have a way to take the Immortals of the Five Elements Elf Tribe out of here?” Li Cheng’s tone shifted as he asked.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s eyes flickered with suspicion, “Why do that? To have them cultivate in the Seven Mystery Tower?”

“No, during my time at Devil Abyss, I encountered a powerful member of the Earth Elf Clan who asked me to deliver a message, urging the Five Elements Elf Tribe to find a way to the Devil Abyss to pay respects to the old ancestors. However, the Five Elements Elf Tribe probably can’t leave this place, hence my question to you.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered, “Could it be that Devil Abyss is the ancestral homeland of the Five Elements Elf Tribe?”

“I also suspect the elder’s words may be a code. We’ll know based on the clan leaders’ reactions later,” Li Cheng said.

As he spoke, Li Cheng soared into the sky.
