Chapter 189: Chapter 188 Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle 1

Translator: 549690339

In the extreme north of the Southern Domain, ice and snow perennially covered the land, with scarcely any living being venturing there.

Li Cheng and Yan Bei stood with hands behind their backs, gazing at the slightly distorted heavens and earth ahead, their expressions filled with contemplation.

Beneath them lay an abyss so deep that its bottom was out of sight, a cliff that stretched for countless billions of miles. Howling winds rushed through the gap, producing all manner of bizarre and eerie roars that added an element of terror.

“Qi Jingtian, that lad, sure is bold, daring to venture into such a place,” muttered Li Cheng.

From the cliff below, time and space became incredibly chaotic, with the heavens and earth distorting from time to time. Occasionally, spatial rifts would appear out of nowhere, spread for thousands of miles, and then heal themselves.

Distorted vortices would appear and disappear at random.

“The space in the Kunlun Realm is extremely stable, yet these spatial rifts keep appearing out of the blue, along with time vortices. It’s truly a mystery why such phenomena occur here,” Yan Bei said, curiously surveying the surroundings.

Li Cheng felt the area carefully, and after a while said, “The Laws of Space and Time here are in a state of utter disarray, accumulating in some places and absent in others. Moreover, there’s a strong power lingering here, faint yet palpable. Could it be the result of battles between deities?”

Yan Bei, with a calm expression, nodded slightly, “The Southern Domain and the Central Continent are separated by this chaos, it’s said to be a consequence of an age transition billions of years ago. Whether there were divine battles back then is probably unknown to anyone, but it won’t be easy to open up a space channel in this kind of place!”

Indeed, it wasn’t easy. Spatial rifts and time vortices were appearing at random, leaving no trail to follow.

To create a space channel or, to be more precise, a wormhole, one must find a safe route and stabilize the surrounding space-time to prevent the wormhole from being torn apart by those spatial rifts and time vortices that could appear at any moment.

Li Cheng, who had mastered seven thousand Laws of Space and four thousand Laws of Time, found the task not difficult, but he knew it would surely take a considerable amount of time.

“Little Uncle-Master, I’ve chosen a good site for our base. Do you want to come and take a look?” Mu Xingzhi rushed over and asked with some anticipation.

Li Cheng nodded and followed Mu Xingzhi, retreating a hundred thousand miles, where he saw hundreds of people busily setting up a Formation amidst the icy wilderness.

At a glance, Li Cheng understood why Mu Xingzhi had called him—it was to ask for his help with the Formation.

The site they had chosen covered a thousand miles with continuous ice- covered mountains. Once the Formation was initially set up, it could be used to refine buildings with various functional purposes, making it a large-scale relay station to the Central Continent.

“I didn’t expect the Great Protector’s Array Mastery to be so formidable. He’s leading the setup of a fifth-level Immortal Array, capable of withstanding a Daluo Golden Immortal!” said Li Cheng.

“He has already stepped into the Immortal Monarch Realm. He could easily set up a sixth-level Immortal Array, but for such a large-scale array, he doesn’t dare to take any chances and is only arranging a fifth-level one,” Yan Bei acknowledged with a nod.

He paused, then added, “The reason his Array Mastery is so profound is that he is a descendant of the Hall of Array Gods in the Immortal World. Unfortunately, he had to leave the Hall of Array Gods for certain reasons and dare not return to the Immortal World.”

Li Cheng gave Yan Bei a look but did not ask further.

“Sect Master, did you hear that? With the Great Protector, an Immortal Monarch level powerhouse, setting up the Formation, there’s no need for you to worry,” Li Cheng then said.

Mu Xingzhi gave a sheepish smile, nodded, and looked towards the Great Protector in the distance with a trace of reverence in his eyes.

Above an Immortal Monarch were the Immortal King, Immortal Venerable, and Immortal Emperor. The fact that he could reach the Immortal Monarch Realm in the Lower World indicated this person’s extraordinary talent in cultivation.

Had he not been forced to descend to the Lower World for certain reasons, and stayed in the Immortal World instead, his cultivation would undoubtedly be even higher.

“Once the space wormhole is ready, I’ll move the cross-domain teleportation array over here. Then we’ll be able to go directly to the sect from here,” Li Cheng said as he turned around and flew back towards the chaotic land a hundred thousand miles away.

Yan Bei followed Li Cheng and said, “Cave Master, rest assured and take care of constructing the space wormhole. I’ll stabilize the nearby area of the channel.”

Li Cheng nodded, with the laws of time and space surging around him, he stabilized the chaos ahead while beginning to construct a passageway utilizing the spatial veins.

Li Cheng had mastered more laws than most Immortal Emperors, even surpassing Yan Bei. His major weakness compared to an Immortal Emperor was his internal Immortal Yuan Power. However, with Yan Bei’s assistance, opening a passageway to the Central Continent in this place wasn’t a difficult task.

There were quite a few Immortal Emperors from the Lower World who came to the Kunlun Realm, but they all had their motives and none would waste their energy doing this.

Perhaps in their eyes, everything in the Lower World was insignificant, except for what they cared about.

Their cooperation allowed them to make quick progress.

A month had passed when Li Cheng, who was steadily constructing the passageway, suddenly turned his head, eyes showing surprise, “What is that?”

In the distant space turbulence, a Universe Mystery Stone the size of a head was floating. But that wasn’t the main point, the main point was a turtle the size of a palm that was gnawing on that Universe Mystery Stone!

Yan Bei also looked over, equally surprised, and then as if he thought of something, his expression turned serious, “A Divine Beast, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle!”

A Divine Beast?

Li Cheng’s pupils constricted, “A Divine Beast that can become a deity as soon as it reaches adulthood?”

“That was the case in the last era, but in this era, even an adult Divine Beast cannot step into the God Realm,” said Yan Bei.

At that moment, the space turbulence and the passageway obstructed them, preventing the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle from sensing their presence.

“The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle has the ability to transcend space; spatial barriers are virtually nonexistent to it. This Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle feeds on the Universe Mystery Stone and must possess the power of time within it. Though it’s only at a Daluo Golden Immortal’s level of cultivation, in a place like this, we absolutely cannot underestimate it,” Yan Bei added.

In this chaotic space-time, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was in its element, whereas an Immortal Emperor like Yan Bei wouldn’t dare to linger in space turbulence.

They didn’t disturb the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and continued on their way.

Another half a month passed, and the two had advanced ten million miles. Ahead, another object appeared!

“Cave Master, it’s a Sky Meteorite, such a large piece could be used to open a large secret land!” Yan Bei said with a hint of surprise, staring at a boulder about a hundred meters ahead and nearly one meter in diameter.

To craft a storage ring or any instrument with a spatial function, a Sky Meteorite Stone is needed, but a piece as big as a fingernail is sufficient to craft more than a dozen storage rings. The one in front of them was nearly a meter in diameter!

In the storage rings left by Qi Jingshen, there were also many Sky Meteorite Stones, but added together, they were all smaller than this one.

What’s more, Li Cheng could sense that at least half of this Sky Meteorite Stone was Sky Meteorite Immortal Stone!

To create the Seven Mystery Tower and Master’s Grace Immortal Palace, Sky Meteorite Immortal Stone was used, but only a small piece the size of a fingertip.

“I’ll take it!” said Li Cheng, reaching out through the air toward the Sky Meteorite Stone.

Suddenly, a gray shadow flashed by, snatching the Sky Meteorite Stone before him!

The shadow moved so fast it seemed to transcend space, its figure was indistinguishable, all one could see was a blur of gray.

Li Cheng’s outstretched hand froze, and he frowned, “The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle!”
