“Who is this?” Qingxuan asked.

His heart was full of amazement. The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan actually sought the young man’s help.

And the young man was quite forthright, even proposing to take Qing Yun as his disciple.

“My brother, Li Cheng,” the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said with a smile.

These words shocked Qingxuan even more!

In the past, the relationship between Immortal Emperor Tianyuan and Emperor Qing was very good; as the son of Emperor Qing, how could Qingxuan not know that the two had never referred to each other as brothers?

Yet the youth before him had received the acknowledgment of the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, being called his brother.

Collecting himself, Qingxuan quickly said, “If my son could take Elder Li as his master, it would naturally be his good fortune, but my son has been unable to cultivate since he was young, I fear he may tarnish Elder Li’s reputation.”

Li Cheng’s face wore a smile. If one truly couldn’t cultivate, how would they become the chosen disciple of the system?

“Unable to cultivate is merely a matter of not having found the right method,” Li Cheng said as he turned to Qing Yun, “Qing Yun, I come from the Southern Domain, and all five of my disciples have already ascended. Would you like to take me as your master?”

Qing Yun was overjoyed, it meant that Li Cheng could help him embark on the path of cultivation. How could he not want that?

A hundred times yes!

Without any hesitation, Qing Yun knelt again, knocking his forehead on the ground, “Disciple Qing Yun, greets the master!”

“Elder Li, do you have a way to put my son on the path of cultivation?” Qingxuan asked impatiently.

The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan couldn’t help but laugh, “He is over a hundred thousand years younger than you, and now is also the master of your son, that ‘Elder’ title is somewhat inappropriate.”

Qingxuan was astonished. Which Immortal hadn’t cultivated for thousands or tens of thousands of years? By the sound of it, did Li Cheng have a short cultivation time?

“Senior Tianyuan makes sense. Qing Yun has already taken me as his master. I think it’s more appropriate for us to speak as peers,” Li Cheng said.

[Receiving a disciple successfully, reward 2 Enlightenment chances.]

Li Cheng examined the condition inside Qing Yun’s body, only to see that his veins were thicker than those of ordinary people, almost as if he was born for cultivation. However, what was strange was that an almost imperceptible peculiar force covered his Dantian!

This peculiar force prevented Qing Yun from absorbing nature’s spiritual energy into his body, thus making cultivation impossible for him.

The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was also inspecting Qing Yun’s condition. “This is a curse, and moreover, it is the infamous Dao Slash Curse. It seems that Emperor Qing has offended someone extremely powerful. The other party used the Dao Slash Curse to prevent the descendants of Emperor Qing from stepping onto the path of cultivation.”

“A curse? It is said that Dead Spirits are most adept at cursing. Could it be that my father provoked a Dead Spirit?” Qingxuan frowned.

He naturally knew of Qing Yun’s condition and had tried himself, but he was utterly unable to dispel the mysterious force that shrouded Qing Yun’s Dantian.

The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shook his head, “Not necessarily, perhaps only Emperor Qing himself knows who cast it, but it’s no longer important. What’s urgent is to find a way to lift the curse.”

“This kind of curse has merged into the bloodline and will be passed down from generation to generation. To lift it, fear there are only two methods: The first is to find the person who cast the curse, as they can lift it.”

“The second is to seek the help of Buddha Cultivators or Confucian Cultivators at the level of Immortal Emperors, as they should have the power to lift it.”

The two solutions mentioned by the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan were far from easy.

No one knew the person who had cast the curse, and Buddha Cultivators or Confucian Cultivators at the level of Immortal Emperors could only be found in the Immortal World.

Qingxuan and his son also realized how difficult both methods were, and for a moment, they felt somewhat disappointed. Having been accepted as a disciple, they feared they still wouldn’t be able to cultivate!

Li Cheng, however, smiled and said, “It seems that Senior Tianyuan has forgotten about the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns of the Confucius Ancestor!”

Li Cheng wasn’t panicked at all, thinking how could the system that prompted him to take a disciple allow him to select one who couldn’t cultivate?

If that were the case, how could he earn Enlightenment counts?

Finding a Confucian Cultivator of Immortal Emperor level might not be easy, but with the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns in his possession, Li Cheng believed there was still hope.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered, “That’s true, give it a try!”

Li Cheng nodded, took out the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns, and activated it to envelop Qing Yun. The next moment, Qing Yun felt as if he had arrived in the vast expanse of the starry sky!

In the starry sky, billions of lanterns floated, each emitting a rich Haoran Justice Air.

The endless Haoran Justice Air surged toward him, rapidly dissolving the force within Qing Yun’s Dantian.

Within the private room, however, Qingxuan saw a different scene. He clearly witnessed how the scroll effortlessly extracted the curse power from Qing Yun’s Dantian after enveloping him.

Before long, the curse completely dissipated.

Li Cheng put away the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns, nodded with satisfaction, and thought to himself that a disciple recommended by the system couldn’t possibly be unable to cultivate, right?

The Dao Slash Curse was resolved with unbelievable ease.

“Innate Taoist Body, not bad at all!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said with a smile.

With the Dao Slash Curse gone, all three could clearly sense that nature’s spiritual energy was drilling into Qing Yun’s body; his compatibility with it far surpassed that of ordinary Cultivators.

Li Cheng took out the Nascent Soul armor of Immortal Artifact level that he had refined earlier and placed it in Qing Yun’s Dantian to protect it. “This was refined by your teacher in my early years, and I’ve had no use for it until now. Now, I’m giving it to you.”

The Nascent Soul armor was initially crafted to be presented to his master, but the Astonished God Tripod was unreliable, and before he could give it to his master, he had received the news that his master had gone to the future.

As the master had no use for it, it was better to bestow it upon his disciple than to let it sit idle in the storage ring.

“Thank you, Master!” Qing Yun couldn’t inspect his insides and was unaware that it was an Immortal Artifact, but he knew that whatever his master bestowed upon him couldn’t be ordinary.

Upon seeing this, Qingxuan felt secretly astounded that an Immortal Artifact could be given away so casually, and one that was meant to protect the Nascent Soul at that. Qing Yun was indeed fortunate!

” Thank you, Brother Li. With this resolved, I no longer have worries for the future!” Qingxuan let out a long sigh of relief and smiled.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan looked at Qingxuan and asked, “Those people chased from the Immortal World to the Kunlun Realm; they must be backed by an extremely powerful force; otherwise, even Emperor Qing wouldn’t be able to handle them. What can you do?”

Looking at the Pen of Life and Death in his hand, Qingxuan smiled and said, “The more they want it, the less likely I am to give it to them. Brother Li, I entrust my son to you!”

His words sounded as if he was making a final arrangement.

Qing Yun furrowed his brows, “Father, there must be another way!”

Li Cheng looked at Qingxuan and said, “There’s no need to overthink it or to be anxious. Those people, no matter how powerful the forces behind them are, are ultimately from the Immortal World and can’t fully extend their reach here.”

“Moreover, they have given three days’ time, not coercion on the spot, which indicates they have some apprehension.”

In the Kunlun Realm, there weren’t many things that could cause apprehension to the Lower Realm People, but their actions indeed suggested some.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded and asked, “Have you figured out the Cultivation of those people?”

“All of them are Immortals; the one leading them is called by others as Immortal Monarch Lin, who may have the Cultivation of an Immortal Monarch,” Qingxuan replied thoughtfully.

“If it is just an Immortal Monarch, the problem isn’t too big. The concern is if there are stronger forces lurking in the shadows. Li Cheng, shall we call Yan Bei over?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan suggested.

Li Cheng understood what Immortal Emperor Tianyuan meant—it was time to prepare for a fight!
