Looking at the elated Mu Xingzhi, Li Cheng teased with a smile, “Sect Master, your timing is perfect. Let me introduce them to you.”

“This is my newly accepted disciple, Qing Yun, and these two are his parents!

Mu Xingzhi’s face stiffened with surprise. In the past, accepting disciples was a formal affair.

But now? He’d even brought the disciple’s parents along.

What was he planning?

“This is the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Mu Xingzhi. Qing

Yun, meet your Sect Master Brother,” Li Cheng said.

Qing Yun performed a respectful salute, “I pay my respects to Sect Master Brother!”

“Sect Leader Mu, we are honored to meet you! I am Qing Yun’s father, Qingxuan.” Qingxuan made a fist and palm salute.

Mu Xingzhi quickly waved his hands and responded with a salute of his own:

“Friend Qing, you are too courteous!”

“Sect Master, I will be taking them to the sect. From now on, I’ll rely on you to take care of them,” Li Cheng said with a smile.

Mu Xingzhi understood Li Cheng’s plans and nodded seriously, “Little Uncle Master, rest assured, I can see that friend Qing and his wife carry Immortal Bodies. It will likely be mere days before they can reenter the Immortal Realm, and I’m afraid we’ll need friend Qing’s help by then.”

The latter part was said to Qing Yun’s parents.

Qing Yun’s parents could also tell that Mu Xingzhi was a mighty Loose

Immortal, his words merely politeness. After all, with Mu Xingzhi’s cultivation, how could he possibly need their help?

Moreover, those who were setting up the formation not far away were all

powerful Immortals.

Was this the strength of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?

Quite astonishing indeed!

Everyone thought the most powerful were gathered in the Central Continent, little did they know, the Southern Domain was not to be underestimated.

Li Cheng obtained a Space-Breaking Shuttle and steered it into the spatial wormhole.

Inside the Space-Breaking Shuttle, Qing Yun curiously observed the colorful world outside, while Qingxuan and his wife exchanged surprised glances, both noticing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

There were too many things that surprised them!

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan appeared and gazed through the Space-Breaking Shuttle’s window, sighing to himself, wondering about something.

“Senior Tianyuan, what’s wrong?” Li Cheng asked.

“Nothing much, just now I heard your plan to continue traveling around the Central Continent,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said.

Li Cheng glanced at Qing Yun’s parents and nodded, “Just a casual stroll.” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said no more, displaying no emotion, but instead looked toward Qing Yun’s parents, “Did Emperor Qing leave any words or clues before his disappearance?”

Qingxuan shook his head, “No, not even the Pen of Life and Death, which returned on its own.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered and then gave a bitter smile; in his current state, he could do nothing.

“We’ve considered the possibility that our father may have left some clues in the Pen of Life and Death, but after many years of research, we’ve discovered nothing,” Qingxuan added.

“Oh? Let Li Cheng have a look,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan quickly said. Qingxuan handed the Pen of Life and Death to Li Cheng, who looked puzzledly at Immortal Emperor Tianyuan. If they had studied it for years without success, what could he see?

He hesitated for a moment after taking the Pen of Life and Death and finally decided to infuse it with the Life Law and Law of Death to see if it would react.

The next moment, a rich aura of life and death emerged from the Pen!

“I didn’t expect Brother Li to carry both of these Laws, activating the Pen of Life and Death!” Qingxuan inwardly clicked his tongue in amazement.

The aura of life and death that surged from the Pen grew more and more abundant, and it didn’t dissipate oddly enough but instead converged above the Pen, slowly coalescing into a picture!

More accurately, it was a map!

The map covered an extremely wide range, marking over a hundred domains, including the South Mysterious Territory!

“The South Mysterious Territory is where we were just located. On the map, it is merely the most marginal territory. Crossing these twelve territories will bring us to the location indicated by the map,” said Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.

There was a red dot marked near the center of the map, within the Divine Palace Region. To reach there, one would need to pass through twelve territories.

“Could Emperor Qing be there?” Li Cheng asked.

Qingxuan appeared somewhat excited, “I never expected that my father really left clues behind. However, back then the Pen of Life and Death flew back to the Immortal Realm, but the clues my father left were in the Kunlun Realm.”

“It seems he arrived in the Kunlun Realm and discovered something in the Divine Palace Region, using the Pen of Life and Death to send a message. Yet all these years, I have discovered nothing.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, “It’s very possible that he is trapped in

the Divine Palace Region!”

Trapped?

Could Emperor Qing, no less powerful than Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, be trapped in the Kunlun Realm?

But considering the depths of the Kunlun Realm, it was indeed a possibility.

With a somewhat excited clenched fist, Qingxuan said, “What a pity that my current cultivation is limited. If it were like before, I could have made an attempt.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan glanced at Qingxuan, “Even if you were at your peak cultivation, what could you do if your father is trapped? Going there would just add to your father’s troubles. Leave this matter to Li Cheng.”

Li Cheng was stunned. The Immortal Emperor was trapped, and he was just a little Golden Immortal.

Had Immortal Emperor Tianyuan forgotten his cultivation level? Was he confusing him for an Immortal Emperor?

“What’s with that expression? No confidence?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan saw Li Cheng’s shocked face and could not help but laugh.

Li Cheng cleared his throat, “Senior, you think too highly of me. I’m just a Golden Immortal.”

Pointing to the map, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said, “Traveling from the South Mysterious Territory to the Divine Palace Region without utilizing a Transmission Array would take several years. In a few years, you will no longer be just a Golden Immortal.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had a deep understanding of Li Cheng’s cultivation speed!

With enough resources and the time flow acceleration of the Seven Mystery Tower, it wouldn’t be impossible to reach the level of an Immortal Emperor in just a few years in the outside world.

Li Cheng was speechless; he only had a little over twenty million Immortal Stones. Advancing to a Daluo Golden Immortal was not a problem, but to go a step further, these resources were clearly insufficient.

“Since you’re going to travel anyway, head towards the Divine Palace Region. Emperor Qing must have discovered something there,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan speculated aloud.

Li Cheng pondered and then nodded. After all, since he intended to journey, it didn’t matter where. So he decided to head toward the Divine Palace Region!

If he could gather more disciples along the way, that would also be beneficial.

However, sending disciples back and forth to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was troublesome. Perhaps, he should craft another Immortal Artifact of Law!

After all, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle lacked no Universe Mystery Stones. Feeling Li Cheng’s gaze, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle tensed up, thinking, this is definitely not going to be good news!

“What are you nervous about? I’m just giving you a glance,” said Li Cheng casually, then turning to Qingxuan with a smile, “Immortal Emperor Tianyuan is right, when we arrive at the Divine Palace Region, I will take a look.” Qingxuan hurriedly bowed with a fist, “I thank you in advance, Brother Li. Take the Pen of Life and Death with you; when you’re within a certain range, it will surely lead the way.”

Li Cheng nodded and accepted the Pen of Life and Death.

Coming back to his senses, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan suddenly said, “Could Emperor Qing have discovered an ancient battlefield? He had a great interest in ancient battlefields.”

Ancient battlefields represented the end of an era, with rumors that even deities perished there in numbers—who wouldn’t be interested?

“The so-called ancient battlefield is not in the Divine Palace Region. I have been there, so I’m very clear about that!” Suddenly, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle spoke up.
