Chapter 187: Chapter 186: The Legacy of the Space-Time Divine Ancestor?_1

Translator: 549690339

Three years ago, a mysterious oppressive force suddenly emerged. Although elusive, with Ao Qianchi’s stature as an Immortal Emperor, he naturally sensed it.

Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan sensed it as well, but to their surprise, Ao Qianchi had researched for three years with no progress.

“Brother Ao, how is the one suppressed inside?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan asked.

“Do you suspect he’s behind this? No, he remains as before, only able to slowly release a wisp of deathly aura,” Ao Qianchi shook his head.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered, “Then it’s strange, could it be a method left by Blunt Empty Venerable that’s been activated?”

Ao Qianchi nodded, “I’ve suspected that as well, but I’ve searched every inch of the city and found nothing.”

Speaking of Blunt Empty Venerable, Li Cheng’s eyes lit up. He had a brief exchange with the Venerable three years ago, but it seemed as if the Venerable had perceived some crisis and thus immediately cut off the exchange.

And after that, Blunt Empty City started exhibiting those faint changes; could it be that he had left something in Blunt Empty City?

Pondering, Li Cheng activated the Time Law, using it to probe his surroundings.

Hum!

Suddenly, a formidable oppressive force surfaced throughout Blunt Empty City, immediately converging toward the city center.

“You’ve come!”

As the oppressive force converged, a phantom figure slowly emerged, and a voice emanated from it.

“Blunt Empty Venerable!”

Li Cheng’s heart raced; indeed, after that exchange three years ago, Blunt Empty Venerable had left behind a trace of Immortal Sense, or perhaps… Divine Sense!

Both Immortal Emperor Tianyuan and Ao Qianchi gave Li Cheng a glance, then turned their eyes toward Blunt Empty Venerable, their expressions flickering with reverence and surprise.

Blunt Empty Venerable was a being from hundreds of millions of years ago, now only a legend remained; who wouldn’t revere him?

What surprised them was that Blunt Empty Venerable seemed to have intentionally left a thought behind, waiting for Li Cheng’s arrival!

Yet, what was strange was that Li Cheng had stayed in Blunt Empty City for several years last time; why hadn’t he shown himself then?

“Junior Li Cheng pays his respects to Blunt Empty Senior!” Li Cheng, coming back to his senses, saluted the phantom figure.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan and Ao Qianchi also hurriedly paid their respects.

Blunt Empty Venerable waved his hand, “Li Cheng, this divine intent I’ve left can’t last long. The reason I’ve waited here for you is that there’s something we need to discuss.”

“Please speak, Senior!” Li Cheng’s voice was calm, but inside he was rather taken aback.

“You, with your Golden Immortal Realm cultivation, can communicate with the Long River of Time. When your cultivation is higher, you will certainly be able to do much through the Long River of Time. Therefore, firstly, I hope you will not lightly touch upon the Long River of Time.”

“Throughout the ages, countless powerful beings have been born, but strong as they may be, they too face the day when their lifespan runs out; hence, they can’t help but set their sights on the Long River of Time.”

Upon hearing Blunt Empty Venerable’s words, Li Cheng understood his concern.

Those powerful beings might not have the ability to break through the barriers of the Long River of Time, but they could totally use time vortexes or certain powerful treasures to send part of their souls into the future, living another life in the times to come.

And if he were to touch the Long River of Time, no doubt, it would be paving the way for such beings!

If your cultivation is strong enough, you can even control the time vortex with your physical body to arrive at this era.

No matter how you put it, the strong entities from history coming to this era is akin to a sort of longevity, right?

“You should be able to imagine that if ancient powerhouses descend, whether friend or foe, they would surely consume a vast amount of cultivation resources. And the resources of heaven and earth are not infinite, so it’s best not to give them any opportunities.”

“The reason the last era ended, and the heavens and earth underwent great changes, was because of these ancient powerhouses. So please, remember this point well.”

Listening to Blunt Empty Venerable’s words, Li Cheng started to ponder secretly. Ancient powerhouses coming to fight for resources?

While it sounded somewhat inconceivable, having seen the Long River of Time, knowing the origin of Ling Xi, knowing his master’s whereabouts, Li Cheng knew this was entirely possible!

Moreover, those ancient powerhouses who could traverse the Long River of Time would definitely have terrifying levels of cultivation. Upon arriving in this era and adapting to it, how could they not compete for resources?

Indeed, as Blunt Empty Venerable said, if such people descended, it would probably be a disaster.

As Blunt Empty Venerable spoke, he sized up Li Cheng and continued, “Secondly, I’d like you to properly cultivate the Path of Time. If you can reach the God Realm through the Path of Time, you will undoubtedly be able to maintain the order of the Long River of Time in the future.”

This was somewhat unexpected to Li Cheng. For Blunt Empty Venerable to ask him to cultivate the Path of Time, he must have made preparations for it!

Otherwise, relying on oneself, even if one comprehended a great deal of Time Law, the applications would be quite limited.

There needed to be someone to lead the way.

“A very long time ago in the Kunlun Realm, there was a peerless powerhouse who was proficient in the laws of both time and space. As far as I know, his legacy is in the Central Continent. You might try your luck there,” said Blunt Empty Venerable.

Li Cheng was taken aback. Was this the benefit that Blunt Empty Venerable said he would get from cultivating the Path of Time? To go find it himself?

“Senior refers to the Space-Time Divine Ancestor, one of the ten great enigmas of history, right?” Ao Qianchi asked curiously.

Blunt Empty Venerable nodded, “Indeed, the Space-Time Divine Ancestor! Most of the strong entities in our history have left behind legacies. It’s just a pity that with the changing of the eras, most have disappeared.”

“But I am certain that the legacy left by the Space-Time Divine Ancestor is still around, which is why I have asked you to look for it,” Blunt Empty Venerable said.

“The Central Continent is so much wider than the Southern Domain, to look for a legacy left countless years ago is like searching for a needle in the ocean!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan exclaimed.

But Ao Qianchi’s eyes lit up, “Senior, you left behind Blunt Empty City. Did you also leave behind a legacy?”

Blunt Empty Venerable nodded, seeming to ignore Ao Qianchi’s question, and said, “The Space-Time Divine Ancestor was of the Innate Spirit Clan. I am not sure which one exactly, but you can start from this point. After all, there aren’t many Innate Spirit Clans.”

He paused for a moment before looking at Ao Qianchi, “The Dragon Clan also had Divine Dragons proficient in space-time powers throughout history. Sadly, it is uncertain whether they left behind any legacies. As for this old man, it’s better left unsaid.”

Li Cheng smiled, feeling that Blunt Empty Venerable was merely dangling a carrot before him, and a rather large one at that.

With such a small clue, to search for the legacy left by the Space-Time Divine Ancestor, wouldn’t it be better to accept more disciples and earn Enlightenment chances?

With enough Enlightenment chances, why worry that he couldn’t achieve complete comprehension of the laws of Time and Space?

No matter how you look at it, this seemed more tangible than Blunt Empty Venerable’s tempting promise.

With this thought, Li Cheng bowed slightly and asked, “Senior, from which era was the Space-Time Divine Ancestor? Are there any more clues?”

If there weren’t any more specific clues, what was there to search for? It would be better to take on disciples.

This time, Blunt Empty Venerable’s voice transmission rang out, “Since this old man has already asserted with certainty that the legacy of the Space-Time Divine Ancestor remains, naturally there are clues. It’s just that I do not wish a third person to know. Rest assured, young friend!”
