Chapter 183: Chapter 182 Did I Get Blamed Again?_1

The crowd was somewhat puzzled, was Wu Ya taken to the future?

Lei Yuan had apparently already glimpsed into heaven’s secrets using the Heaven Secret Technique and ascertained some information about Wu Ya, but the backlash was too severe, causing him to fall into a coma.

Fortunately, with the Life Immortal Liquid entering his body, it had begun to repair his physique.

With a wave of his hand, Li Cheng directed five hundred streams of the Life Law towards Lei Yuan, aiding his swift recovery.

“His Primordial Spirit wasn’t harmed, his special constitution protected him,” Mu Xingzhi said with a sigh of relief as he examined Lei Yuan’s injuries.

Li Cheng nodded, then turned again to Yan Wuxiang, “Elder Yan, please elaborate on the Long River of Time.”

Yan Wuxiang gave a wry smile, “It’s all recorded in the classics; it might not be accurate since too few have seen the Long River of Time.”

“Let me explain, what I know might be more accurate!” Ling Xi suddenly spoke up.

The crowd looked at Ling Xi in astonishment. How could a young girl, on the verge of ascension, know something even the Immortal Emperor was unaware of?

A thought crossed Li Cheng’s mind, and countless Array Patterns surged out, enveloping the two of them.

“Hey? Little Uncle-Master, we want to hear about such secret matters too!” Mu Xingzhi said helplessly.

At such a crucial moment, with such mysterious matters at hand, why was Li Cheng using a Formation to prevent everyone from listening?

“Ling Xi, you said before that it was through some mysterious method that the great master allowed you to awaken only after ten thousand years, did he in fact send you to ten thousand years later using the Long River of Time?” Li Cheng asked.

Ling Xi’s eyes revealed surprise, and then she nodded, “I didn’t expect Master to guess it in an instant.”

“My father told me that it was Ancestor Master Tianji Zi who had him do so. I was also curious at the time, so 1 asked about the Long River of Time.”

“The Long River of Time has existed since ancient times, flowing towards the future, but it is enveloped by Time barriers; even deities cannot break through.”

“My father said, with a sufficient understanding of the Time Law, or by using certain special time vortexes, one could enter the Long River of Time. 1 think Ancestor Wu Ya must have accidentally encountered such a time vortex,” Ling Xi continued.

Li Cheng furrowed his brow slightly, the Long River of Time must be filled with terrifying time forces, and with Master’s cultivation, he likely couldn’t withstand them. Could he still come out?

“It was the great master who protected you and brought you to ten thousand years later, right?” Li Cheng mused.

Ling Xi shook her head, “From what my father said, he doesn’t have the ability to enter the Long River of Time. It was just that the time vortex happened to cross ten thousand years.”

Li Cheng inwardly nodded; it was like a small vortex by the riverbank that got swept into the river and then was pushed back to the riverbank downstream.

To predict such a vortex’s span, Ancestor Master Tianji Zi’s Heaven Secret Technique was truly unfathomable!

After a long contemplation, Li Cheng removed the Formation and turned his gaze to Yan Wuxiang, “Elder Yan, how can you be sure that my Master was taken to the future, and not to the past?”

“It’s quite simple, if he were taken to the past, he would definitely appear before us right now,” Yan Wuxiang said.

“Since he hasn’t shown up, he must be in the future. Maybe in a few hundred years, we might see him,” Yan Wuxiang coughed dryly.

Clearly, he wasn’t certain.

Li Cheng massaged his temples. Dealing with matters of time, even with four thousand strands of the Time Law within him, was not easy to understand.

Having composed himself, Li Cheng decided to give it a try. Even if he couldn’t breach the time barriers of the Long River of Time, perhaps he could see his Master within it.

With this thought, Li Cheng sat down cross-legged and activated four thousand strands of the Time Law, using up an Enlightenment opportunity.

He had seen the Long River of Time once before when he first understood the Time Law, albeit briefly, but there was no mistaking it.

Now with four thousand strands of the Time Law at his disposal, Li Cheng believed he could certainly see it!

After several unsuccessful attempts, Li Cheng gritted his teeth and shaped the Time Law into a vortex, and this time, a turbulent river suddenly appeared before his eyes!

The river was vast and boundless, its surface churning with waves, flowing within the endless void. But before Li Cheng could take a closer look, he was suddenly ejected from the Enlightened state.

Li Cheng opened his eyes, then closed them again. “Once more!”

“Don’t try again, or disaster will befall us!”

Suddenly, a voice sounded next to Li Cheng’s ear.

Li Cheng hurriedly opened his eyes and looked around, but he could not find the owner of the voice.

“Who are you?” Li Cheng asked.

People looked at Li Cheng with puzzled expressions, then looked around following his gaze. Who was he talking to?

“I am Blunt Empty. You have touched the Long River of Time, and that’s why 1 could sense you and took the opportunity to warn you. If you try again, you will definitely be targeted by a great horror from history, and its divine sense will come descending, granting you another life.”

The voice spoke up again.

“Blunt Empty Venerable?” Li Cheng’s eyes showed astonishment.

“I dare not accept the title of Venerable. Just call me Blunt Empty. Hmm? I cannot speak any longer, take care…”

The voice suddenly cut off.

Li Cheng stood up, his expression a bit solemn. He had touched the Long River of Time and was discovered by Blunt Empty Venerable?

That was a figure from hundreds of millions of years ago!

After such a long span of time, to converse with him, just how powerful was Blunt Empty Venerable?

Seeing the change in Li Cheng’s expression, people were somewhat worried. Mu Xingzhi asked, “Little Uncle-Master, are you alright?”

Li Cheng came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, “The Long River of Time is too strange, figures from hundreds of millions of years ago…”

“Cough cough…”

At this moment, Lei Yuan woke up, coughing violently and quickly said, “Master, Ancestor Master has encountered a great opportunity!”

Oh?

Everyone simultaneously looked towards Lei Yuan. Being swept into the Long River of Time by the time vortex, he had actually found a great opportunity?

Li Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That was reassuring, and there was no need to touch the Long River of Time anymore!

In the following nine days, the higher echelons of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect gathered to bid farewell to Li Cheng’s four disciples.

On this day, the four ascended!

Watching the Ascension Passage gradually disappear, Mu Xingzhi took a deep breath, “Once they reach the Immortal World, they will be the pillars of the Immortal World’s sects. Hopefully, those sects will treat them as well as we do.”

Li Cheng nodded, “They will, don’t forget what Ancestor Master Tianji Zi is best at.”

Ancestor Master Tianji Zi’s unrivaled Heaven Secret Technique would surely foresee an extraordinary future in each of the four, he wouldn’t mistreat them.

“That’s true. Come on, let’s continue drinking!” the First Elder suggested.

Li Cheng shook his head, “You continue, I need to spend some time in the Seven Mystery Tower.”

“No way, Little Uncle-Master, it’s rare for you to gather with everyone like this, if I’m not mistaken, this is the first time, right?” said the First Elder.

Everyone also nodded in agreement, this indeed was the first time spending such a long time together with everyone.

“That’s enough. Little Uncle-Master is not one to indulge in pleasures, neither are we. First Elder, if you want to drink, drink by yourself,” Mu Xingzhi said, not amused.

Everyone nodded again, and the Seventh Elder said, “First Elder, don’t corrupt me, I need to go into seclusion!”

“I don’t plan to keep bad company with the First Elder either, it’s important to go into seclusion!” The other Elders echoed one after another.

The First Elder’s face darkened, what the heck, were they all shirking their responsibilities onto him?

Was he unknowingly taking the blame again?

Li Cheng smiled and flew towards the Seven Mystery Tower.

His four disciples had ascended, and Qi Jingtian had already transformed. Presumably, his ascension was near too.. Li Cheng decided to prepare by refining that Divine World first!
