Special teaching methods?

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan scoffed at the notion, having always let his disciples roam free, which indeed could be considered special.

Had it not been for those disciples who were determined, they would likely have been ruined long ago.

And now, he’s actually thinking of taking on another disciple, to continue this free-range upbringing?

If he happened to encounter one with a poor temperament, the result of this upbringing would surely misguide the youth, wouldn’t it then tarnish his reputation built over a lifetime?

But Li Cheng had already emerged from the Seven Mystery Tower; clearly, he truly intended to take a disciple!

“Sect Master, I will be away for a while, contact me if there’s anything,” Li Cheng said through a transmitted message, his figure already disappearing from view.

“Li Cheng, you’re not taking disciples within the sect? I see that there are many talented disciples in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect nowadays!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan asked, puzzled.

Li Cheng shrugged, “So what if they are talented? When I take a disciple, it’s all about fate!”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan felt both annoyed and amused, “I get it, you’re just bored and want to stroll around everywhere.”

Li Cheng smiled without saying a word, releasing his Immortal Sense and discovering that it had actually grown to the extent that it could envelop a range of three million miles!

A state of Enlightenment that reached Unity with Heaven and Man inherently brought great benefits to the strength of one’s Immortal Sense. Moreover, Li Cheng faintly felt that the more laws he understood, the stronger his Immortal Sense would become.

“System, I suddenly remembered that you once said your sensing range was one percent of my Spiritual Sense, but now that I have Immortal Sense, how much is your sensing range?”

[The sensing range is one-tenth of the Immortal Sense’s coverage; anyone of destiny who appears within this range will be notified.]

Listening to the prompt, Li Cheng subtly raised an eyebrow, meaning the system could sense people of destiny within three hundred thousand miles!

Steeling his mind, Li Cheng spoke up, “Senior, with nothing better to do, watch as I step across the expanse of the Kunlun Southern Region!”

Saying so, Li Cheng performed the Immortal Spirit Step and sped off!

He simply ran, leaving the matter of sensing people of destiny to the system.

Each step covered a distance of one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred miles, but since the system could sense for three hundred thousand miles, it meant he would not miss any person of destiny with each step.

“Are you dreaming? How vast is the Kunlun Southern Region? From north to south it is at least a billion miles, and the east to west is similarly vast, do you think you can measure it with your steps?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan laughed.

Li Cheng silently did the math, which meant he would need eight thousand steps from east to west, and he could only sense people of destiny within a range of one hundred fifty thousand miles to either side.

So, he would have to repeatedly travel from east to west and then move one or two steps south or north before going from west back to east.

Thus, Li Cheng headed directly south, to the very edge of the southernmost inhabited lands of the Southern Domain, before running back and forth from east to west, steadily advancing northward.

Overall, to measure the entire inhabited area of the Southern Domain, he would need to take upwards of thirty-two million steps!

More than thirty million steps, this was a colossal undertaking!

But to find a person of destiny, he had no choice!

Several days went by, and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was somewhat baffled, “Are you seriously doing this? Are you planning to map out the entire Southern Domain?”

In these few days, Li Cheng had already been running back and forth in the east-west direction several times.

“I’m just idle anyway, so I might as well take a leisurely stroll; it’s not going to take a few years,” Li Cheng laughed.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s eyes widened with surprise.

“Actually, there are benefits to this. By continuously performing the Immortal Spirit Step, I’m getting more proficient in applying the Space Law. Moreover, in these past few days, I’ve already grasped several Space Laws. Pretty good!” Li Cheng added.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was speechless, choosing to view it as Li Cheng cultivating instead.

Three years later, Li Cheng was somewhat stunned; he had almost covered half of the Southern Domain, and yet the system hadn’t given any prompts.

Over these past two years, there must have been over ten quintillion people within the sensing range, but not a single one was suitable?

“System, I’m starting to doubt; have you raised the requirements for taking disciples? Otherwise, it’s not possible for me not to have taken a single disciple in these two years, right?” Li Cheng questioned.

[Fate, indescribably wonderful!]

In response to Li Cheng, it was still the familiar words.

Li Cheng frowned, as he ran and comprehended the Space Law, having added a thousand Space Laws already, could he really find the fated person if he continued like this?

Or was it that the system had set some hidden condition for him?

The matter of fate was inherently elusive, but continuing like this, Li Cheng doubted that he would achieve anything even if he traversed the entire Southern Domain.

Perhaps, he should try his luck in a few Ancient Ruins?

The Order of Heaven and Earth within the Ancient Ruins was no weaker than that of the Immortal World, and they could nurture even more geniuses; maybe there would be a fated person there.

Clearing his throat, Li Cheng said, “Senior Tianyuan, are you still awake?”

“Awake indeed, and you know, the beautiful landscape of the Southern Domain is quite impressive!”

Hmm?

Li Cheng was somewhat surprised, could it be that Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had been enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Southern Domain all along with him?

Had he become an airplane, carrying him on a trip?

“Why have you stopped? Don’t give up halfway, keep going!”

Seeing Li Cheng coming to a halt, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan queried with suspicion.

Li Cheng was speechless; as expected, he was being treated as a means of transportation, while the other comfortably watched the great rivers and mountains from within the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.

Clearing his throat, Li Cheng said, “Senior, you must know of quite a few Ancient Ruins, right? How about we pick a few and take a look?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan appeared and shook his head, “Ancient Ruins are not so easy to find. Yan Wuxiang and Ao Qianchi are likely to know a few.”

Li Cheng nodded inwardly, Yan Wuxiang had already gone to the Central Continent, in search of the Sky-reaching Tower or the Ascend to Immortal Platform, perhaps he’d found one and gone to the Immortal World.

Ao Qianchi would certainly be in the Misty Forest, guarding Blunt Empty City, but Li Cheng worried it might disturb him.

After all, visiting the Ancient Ruins might require his leadership.

“Might Senior Yan Bei know?” Li Cheng asked again.

“He definitely wouldn’t know, because when I fell, he had used the Immortal Rampart Technique. In that regard, I am in the same situation as him, having missed over a hundred thousand years of wandering.”

After the events of the Ten Thousand Traits Stealing the Heavenly Scripture concluded a hundred thousand years ago, these Immortal Emperors must have roamed the Kunlun Southern Region and other domains, so they should have found quite a few Ancient Ruins.

Li Cheng pondered, “I’ve surveyed half of the Southern Domain already. I think it’s better to take a look at a few Ancient Ruins. I’ll go and ask Senior Ao Qianchi.”

With that said, Li Cheng pinpointed the direction and headed straight for the Misty Forest.

Soon after, Li Cheng arrived in front of Blunt Empty City.

Over the years, Blunt Empty City hadn’t changed much, and there had been no incidents of Dead Spirits invading.

However, upon entering the city, Li Cheng suddenly had a strange feeling and shifted his gaze towards the city center.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan also appeared, confusedly saying, “Compared to the last visit, something seems different.”

Li Cheng nodded, dashing toward the city center, “I have the same feeling, odd,

I can’t quite put my finger on what’s different!”

In front of the City Lord Mansion at the city center, Ao Qianchi sat cross- legged, tilting his head and staring at the City Lord Mansion before him.

Upon their arrival, without turning his head, Ao Qianchi said, “You’ve come.

Did you feel the change in Blunt Empty City?”

“We felt it. What did you do? There seems to be something more in the city, but

I can’t quite describe it,” asked Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.

Ao Qianchi shook his head, “There’s an added mystical pressure, very subtle, but it’s definitely there!”

“This change started three years ago, as if it just appeared out of thin air. It’s strange, I’ve been unable to figure out what it is for three years.”
