Chapter 235: Chapter 234 The Storm is Comingi

Translator: 549690339 I

A month later, countless representatives of various forces were still waiting to visit Li Cheng, but Li Cheng had already set off for the Southern Domain.

Gu Sanqiu felt helpless. Despite the plan to travel together, he ended up hitting the road alone, while Li Cheng and Mu Xingzhi had already entered the Immortal Palace and left him to travel with the Palace in tow.

But who wouldn’t recognize Gu Sanqiu’s status? Thus, he was basically hopping from one Cross-domain Teleportation Array to another without the need to queue up like others.

Soon, Gu Sanqiu had arrived at the Space-Time wormholes controlled by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

“It’s only been half a day, and there’s really no need for you to stay inside the Immortal Palace all the time,” Gu Sanqiu said helplessly as he took out the Immortal Palace.

Li Cheng and Mu Xingzhi stepped out of the Immortal Palace, with Li Cheng smiling, “Brother Gu, your speed is really astonishing, making it here from the Divine Palace Region so quickly.”

The corner of Gu Sanqiu’s mouth twitched as he turned his attention to the nearby Space-Time wormhole, “It’s still you who’s impressive, being able to open a spatial passage in such a chaotic space-time.”

“It’s all thanks to the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle’s hard work. Let’s go and hurry back to the Southern Domain,” Li Cheng said.

Mu Xingzhi nodded and called for someone to bring the Space-Breaking Shuttle and continue their journey.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sect had expanded its sect several times over, and within a hundred thousand li, many new cities had sprung up.

The Eighteenth Peak had become increasingly sacred and had long been designated as a core area of the sect.

The three appeared on the Transmission Array of the Eighteenth Peak. Li Cheng and Gu Sanqiu immediately released their Immortal Sense to investigate the surroundings.

“Over a thousand immortals? Impressive indeed. Even in the Central Continent, sects with this many immortals can be counted on one’s fingers,” said Gu Sanqiu.

Mu Xingzhi clasped his hands together in respect, “You flatter us, League Master Gu. They are all Loose Immortals, who after the revival of the Kunlun Realm, condensed their Immortal Bodies and became strong beings of the Immortal Realm.”

Gu Sanqiu’s face bore a smile, “Once the Immortal World’s Heavenly Mechanism Sect moves over, looking at the visible forces in the Kunlun Realm, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect will undoubtedly be the leading dragon.”

Visible forces?

That’s a statement worth pondering.

Clearly, Gu Sanqiu knew far more than the usual cultivator. His implication was that there were many transcendent forces hidden in the shadows.

Li Cheng wasn’t surprised. With the revival of the Kunlun Realm and numerous Ancient Ruins emerging, how could there not be powerful forces among them?

Take the Five Elements Elf Tribe, for instance. If it weren’t for Grand Venerable Bai Jie taking away those stronger than Golden Immortals, their emergence would have certainly made them a top-tier force.

And like the Five Elements Elf Tribe, there would not be a shortage of such ancient tribes in the Kunlun Realm.

Not to mention the super sects that were once hidden in those Ancient Ruins.

“That must be the Seven Mystery Tower, right? Laws entwined around it, stirring the heavens and the earth’s rules to become extremely active and dense. This indeed is a holy land for cultivation!” exclaimed Gu Sanqiu.

“Exactly, the Seven Mystery Tower was refined by my junior sect uncle, and it’s also our sect’s treasure,” said Mu Xingzhi, his face brimming with pride.

Gu Sanqiu nodded. Such a Law Immortal Artifact, of course, was a sect’s treasure, anywhere it would be placed.

Forget the common cultivator, even an Immortal Emperor would be full of expectation for a Law Immortal Artifact.

“You two talk, shall I go take a look inside the Seven Mystery Tower?” Gu Sanqiu asked.

After all, it was the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s treasure, and whether one could enter, it was only proper to ask.

Moreover, Mu Xingzhi was the Sect Master, and having returned from the Central Continent after such a long time, he certainly had affairs to attend to.

“League Master Gu, please follow me,” Mu Xingzhi quickly said.

“That’s perfect,” said Li Cheng, “I’ve taken in two more disciples and plan to let them cultivate in the Seven Mystery Tower. Let’s go up together!”

A glimmer of excitement shone in Mu Xingzhi’s eyes. Li Cheng had taken in two more disciples, which surely meant they were of remarkable talent.

Li Cheng released Gu Bikong and the other two, introduced them briefly, then stepped into the Seven Mystery Tower.

“Your senior brother Qing Yun is also cultivating here. When you have free time, get to know each other,” Li Cheng said.

Gu Bikong and Jiang Fan exchanged glances, both seeing the delight in each other’s eyes. Gu Bikong asked, “Master, is our Fourth Senior Brother, with his Innate Taoist Body, close to becoming an Immortal now?”

“The path of cultivation isn’t always about speed. The most important thing is to ensure that each step is solid. Go and find him!”

As he spoke, Li Cheng turned his head to the north, his gaze seemingly capable of penetrating through the Seven Mystery Tower to see outside.

“Senior Tianyuan, I’ve sensed the aura of that corpse-wrapping cloth. If our deductions are correct, it must mean the Tower of Chaos has arrived in the Southern Domain!” Li Cheng sent his thoughts.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered, “Jiang Fan has been by your side for so long without any activity from the Tower of Chaos. Now that it has followed him to the Southern Domain, perhaps we can find a way to force it to reveal itself.”

Initially, the two had speculated that it was the Tower of Chaos that had protected Jiang Fan, but they couldn’t be completely certain—after all, it could also have been an ancestor of Jiang Fan.

“The aura has disappeared again!” Li Cheng frowned. The presence of the corpse-wrapping cloth was fleeting, perhaps it had accidentally leaked out for a moment while crossing the Land of Chaos.

But Li Cheng felt that forcing it out might not be a good thing, as there were too many unknown variables. Besides, this was just their conjecture.

So for now, they could only leave it be.

“The moment you sensed it, it might have sensed you too. This matter is filled with uncertainties. You should focus on refining the Rising Yuan Immortal Pill instead!”

With Li Cheng’s complete cultivation as an Immortal King, facing the Tower of Chaos, which had existed for countless years, was not appropriate. Furthermore, Li Cheng’s return to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Southern Domain was for the purpose of improving his cultivation in the Seven Mystery Tower. Other matters could wait.

Li Cheng nodded and headed to the seventh floor, where he arranged a secret chamber for Gu Sanqiu and then summoned the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and the Mole.

These two creatures had been in the Immortal Palace for some time, their cultivations improving rapidly. If they cultivated alongside Li Cheng on the seventh floor of the Seven Mystery Tower with the help of Rising Yuan Immortal Pills, stepping into the Immortal Emperor Realm would only be a matter of time.

Without rushing to settle accounts, Li Cheng took an eighth-grade Rising Yuan Immortal Pill and began his cultivation.

The higher the cultivation, the better the effects of enlightenment. Therefore, he didn’t rush to comprehend the laws. First, he aimed to raise his cultivation to the Immortal Venerable Realm and then to the Immortal Emperor Realm. With the same number of enlightenment attempts, he would be able to comprehend more laws.

As Li Cheng anticipated, five hundred years within the tower indeed raised his cultivation to the complete Immortal Venerable Realm. He was just one step away from entering the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Having obtained the purple talisman and refined it, Li Cheng had no bottlenecks. He could fully concentrate on refining Immortal Pills, especially since he had already comprehended forty-six thousand and five hundred laws, which meant he naturally had no bottlenecks.

He continued to refine Rising Yuan Immortal Pills, pushing toward the Immortal Emperor Realm. Meanwhile, the Southern Domain appeared unusually calm, as though a storm was brewing.

At the peak of Heaven Secret Peak, Mu Xingzhi and Baili Changkong stood shoulder to shoulder, starlight flickering in their eyes as their expressions gradually turned somber.

Mu Xingzhi broke the silence, “In the past two months, a large number of Immortal Kings, Immortal Venerables, and even hundreds of Immortal Emperors have come from the Immortal World. The Heavens’ Secrets are being obscured, this does not bode well!”

Baili Changkong nodded solemnly, “I have stepped into the Immortal King Realm with the help of the Seven Mystery Tower, but even with the cultivation of an Immortal King, I am unable to penetrate the Heavens’ Secrets. It must be the work of mighty figures from the Immortal Court concealing them.”

“But there’s no need to worry too much. No matter how well the mighty figures of the Immortal Court conceal the Heavens’ Secrets, they can’t hide from our Ancestor Master. He surely has a strategy in place.”

“Besides, with the support of the Pill League, I don’t think the Immortal Court will act rashly..”
