Chapter 167: The Fifth Disciple 1

Translator: 549690339 I

Monkey Kongxu nodded his head, previously not wanting the five Clan Leaders to be privy to this matter, but now suspecting a great terror within, of course, he had to involve the five Clan Leaders.

If the five Clan Leaders knew his thoughts, they might join forces to beat him up.

Only when there is a good opportunity, you think of monopolizing it, but when there’s trouble, you pull us into it?

Currently, the five Clan Leaders were still discussing the matters of their ancestral land, clearly not a conversation he could be part of, so he could only wait for now.

At this moment, Ling Xi and Yan Yao walked over hand in hand.

Arriving about three meters away, Yan Yao bowed, “Yan Yao pays respect to Benefactor!”

It was Li Cheng who had brought about an earth-shattering change to her status, making Xingyu and Tribe Chief Mingyue personally teach her, allowing her to step out of the shadows, thus the term Benefactor was only natural.

Li Cheng nodded slightly, “I once asked you if you were willing to take me as your master, are you ready to answer now?”

Yan Yao knelt down directly, “Disciple Yan Yao greets Master! I was ignorant before and disappointed you, please forgive me, Master.”

Li Cheng sighed in relief, he had finally found his fifth disciple after waiting so long, it had finally come to fruition.

[Disciple acceptance successful, reward 5 chances of Enlightenment.]

[Current remaining times of Enlightenment: 573 times.]

The system notification rang out, taking Li Cheng by surprise, for the times awarded for accepting Yan Yao were the same as Qi Jingtian!

Qi Jingtian’s true form is a great demon of heaven and earth, hence he was awarded more times than the other disciples.

Now that he had accepted Yan Yao, he was also awarded five times. Did this imply Yan Yao had the same monstrous talent as Qi Jingtian?

Or was it due to her racial traits?

Without delving too deeply, Li Cheng nodded in satisfaction and, with a flip of his hand, took out the Five Elements Meridian Pearl, saying with a smile, “I have prepared this for you long ago; now it is not too late to give it.”

In the past, Yan Yao did not dare to accept it, but now it was different. She took it with joy and kowtowed again, “Thank you for your generous gift, Master!”

The emergence of the Five Elements Meridian Pearl caused the five Clan Leaders to stop their discussion and turn their gaze unanimously.

“This girl has finally taken a master; Xingyu and Mingyue did well!” Elder Qingfeng said with a smile, stroking his beard.

“With Yan Yao taking a master, and our ancestral land found, it’s truly a double blessing!” Yanqing exclaimed.

Elder Qingfeng snorted coldly at Yanqing, “Yan Yao is from our Wood Elf Clan, she’s my goddaughter, what are you so happy about?”

Yanqing looked at Elder Qingfeng with disdain, “Shameless!”

“How am I shameless? I took her as my goddaughter in front of so many people, everyone can attest to it,” Elder Qingfeng retorted coldly.

“Stop arguing, Five Elements Great Emperor is an ancestor revered by all five of our tribes. Now that Yan Yao has received the Five Elements Meridian Pearl left by the Great Emperor, she is naturally regarded as his successor and should be revered by all five tribes,” Mingyue stated.

“Tribe Chief Mingyue is correct, I agree!” Shan Qian said with a laugh.

Elder Qingfeng looked over at Li Cheng and shook his head helplessly, “Benefactor surely plans to take her with him. You’re thinking about joint reverence now, but it’s probably too late.”

“It’s not like she’s not coming back; this is her home,” Xingyu spoke.

Monkey Kongxu glanced at the five of them, “Stop arguing, I’ve made an important discovery. There might be a treasure left by the Five Elements Great Emperor in our tribe; are you interested?”

Li Cheng glanced at Monkey Kongxu, knowing this fellow was about to start his trickery.

Ignoring Monkey Kongxu, Li Cheng took the two ladies aside, preparing to impart something to Yan Yao.

Meanwhile, the eyes of the five Clan Leaders shone brightly!

They were aware that recently it was in the Monkey Clan where the Five Elements Meridian Pearl had been found!

Could it be that the monkey had found another treasure similar to it?

Elder Qingfeng, who had personally witnessed the birth of the Five Elements Meridian Pearl, was overjoyed, “In your Monkey Clan’s burial ground again?” “How did you know?” Monkey Kongxu was astonished, unable to believe that Elder Qingfeng had guessed it.

Elder Qingfeng was also stunned, having said it on a whim, he had not expected it to be true!

The ancestral graves of the Monkey Clan are truly a treasure trove!

“So, what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” the crowd urged.

If even the monkeys didn’t mind that it was their ancestral graves, how could anyone hesitate?

We must rush to dig up the treasures at the first opportunity!

Monkey Kongxu turned to Li Cheng, “Brother, are we ready to set off?”

Li Cheng nodded, with Immortal Yuan supporting the two women, “Let’s go!”

Before long, the group arrived at Huaguo Mountain and headed straight for the Monkey Clan’s ancestral graves.

“Damn it, who turned your Monkey Clan’s graves into this?” the crowd’s eyes widened in shock.

Within the vast area of the graves, countless dry well-like holes dotted the landscape, giving the impression of a plundered tomb to the uninitiated.

Monkey Kongxu felt somewhat embarrassed, having forgotten to restore these holes in his eagerness to dig.

“It doesn’t matter; that’s not the point. Stop gawking and follow me!”

Monkey Kongxu cleared his throat and took the lead, flying towards the large hole in the center.

Upon landing near the hole, he said with a chuckle, “The treasure is inside!”

Elder Qingfeng looked around and pointed to the side, “The Sky-reaching Giant Ape must have crawled out from here, right? This hole you dug, it wouldn’t happen to be right beneath its tomb, would it?”

“Hey, I told you not to worry about those things, just come with me!”

Monkey Kongxu waved his hand dismissively and jumped down first.

Li Cheng, using his Immortal Sense to investigate, found that there was nothing abnormal beneath them, nor any so-called space barrier.

But as they descended two hundred meters, indeed, the group found themselves standing atop a space barrier!

This area had long been expanded into an underground space by Monkey Kongxu’s use of immortal power, and now the space barrier appeared like a spherical bubble, a mere ten meters in diameter.

When probed with Immortal Sense, it passed straight through the sphere, unable to detect its existence at all.

No wonder its presence went undetected at first; this spherical space barrier was indeed very strange.

One could only wonder what might be contained within, wrapped in a space barrier.

“You really have a knack for this, monkey, to uncover something like this!” Yanqing couldn’t help but be impressed.

Monkey Kongxu crossed his arms proudly over his chest, “You clearly haven’t seen who I am!”

“You still have the face to say that? You’ve turned the land of your ancestors’ graves into this, and you still look so proud?” Xingyu said with disapproval.

Mingyue also nodded, “If I had such a descendant, I’d definitely climb out of my coffin to strangle him.”

Monkey Kongxu gnashed his teeth and grimaced, pointing at the sphere, “All that talk, do you still want the treasure or not?”

Elder Qingfeng was the first to shake his head, “It might not be a treasure, right? This clearly seems to be something suppressed here by a predecessor using spatial techniques. Maybe we shouldn’t act rashly.”

“Since Immortal Sense can’t see what’s inside, let’s think of a way to investigate first!” said Yanqing.

Having come this far, how could they not investigate thoroughly?

What if it actually was a treasure?

Li Chengzheng was probing with Space Law and discovered that the sphere, ten meters in diameter, was enveloped in a formidable spatial barrier with densely packed Spatial Veins inside; his Space Law detected countless Spatial Veins within it.

Li Cheng stepped forward, placed his hand on the spatial barrier, and began to sense it more carefully.

“The spatial barrier is unbreakable, and the interior veins are dense. This situation is very similar to a Secret Land, but even the density of spatial veins in a Secret Land doesn’t come close to what’s inside here. Even the spatial veins outside are not as dense as those within!”

While investigating, Li Cheng spoke up.

No sooner had his words fallen when the voice of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, filled with surprise, echoed in Li Cheng’s mind, “Find a way to take it with you!”
