Chapter 246: Chapter 245: The Bug in Heaven and Earth!_i

Gu Sanqiu wore a mocking smile and continued, “This was refined by my worthy brother, Li Cheng. Surprising, isn’t it?”

Tianji Zi’s eyes shone with shock, “A King-grade Half-God Pill, could it be that you have found a Divine Corpse?”

‘Hehe, go ahead and take it. Brother Li Cheng said that refining this pill will take several decades, even a hundred years. You might as well ask after you’ve finished refining it,” Gu Sanqiu said with a laugh.

Tianji Zi was already prepared to die of old age, and staring at the Half-God Pill in his hand, he felt a surge of emotions for a while.

After a few seconds of silence, Tianji Zi passed the jade bottle back to Li Cheng, smiling, “Xiao Cheng, I accept your kind intention, but such a precious Half­God Pill should not be wasted on me.”

Li Cheng frowned, “This King-grade Half-God Pill, it cannot relieve the Ancestor Master’s rebound? It cannot extend the Ancestor Master’s lifespan?” “No, it can add tens of thousands of years to one’s lifespan, but the Ancestor Master’s fate is not meant to have more longevity. That is destiny,” Tianji Zi said.

Like Lei Yuan, he possessed a special constitution related to fate, comprehending the Law of Fate, and believing in the way of destiny. Gu Sanqiu’s brows furrowed as well, “Damn destiny. While the existence of destiny cannot be denied, who says destiny cannot be changed? You old rascal, will you take this Half-God Pill or not?”

Li Cheng also spoke up, “Ancestor Master has spent his whole life comprehending and believing in the Law of Fate, convinced that everything is predetermined by heaven, but Brother Gu is right, destiny can also be changed.”

“No, the deeper one walks on the path of fate, the more transparent things become to the Ancestor Master. The so-called triumph of man over heaven is nothing but an illusion. In the end, everything falls within destiny,” Tianji Zi said with a shake of the head and a smile.

Gu Sanqiu rolled his eyes and suddenly asked, “Have you ever seen Brother Li Cheng’s future?”

“Shrouded in mist, I cannot see it,” replied Tianji Zi.

“I thought so. Since you can’t see Li Cheng’s destiny, how can you say that everything lies within fate? This should prove that destiny is not the master, not predetermined by heaven. At least, at least some part of it is determined by oneself, right?”

Tianji Zi smiled, not countering Gu Sanqiu’s words, but as he was about to speak, Gu Sanqiu suddenly acted, stuffing a King-grade Half-God Pill into Tianji Zi’s mouth.

Once the Half-God Pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a surge of pure power that flooded Tianji Zi’s limbs and bones, causing him to be momentarily stunned, then lie shook his head with a wry smile.

“Old charlatan, this is destiny. Just refine it obediently!” Gu Sanqiu snorted coldly.

Now that the Half-God Pill was already in his mouth, Gu Sanqiu truly did not believe that Tianji Zi would spit it out.

Tianji Zi had no choice but to swallow the Half-God Pill, “So be it. I, Tianji Zi, have never feared the Immortal Court soldiers at the gates, why would I fear’ fate?”

“I, Tianji Zi, will see what lies at the end of destiny!”

Having said that, Tianji Zi flew towards the Seven Mystery Tower.

Li Cheng gave Gu Sanqiu a thumbs-up, then his figure flashed, “I am going to enter seclusion in the Seven Mystery Tower for a time as well, Brother Gu, please feel free to do as you wish.”

Arriving at the seventh floor of the Seven Mystery Tower, Li Cheng let out a sigh of relief. “Settle the rewards!”

[Disciple Yun Tianqiong reaped great benefits, reward of Enlightenment times 211.]

[Disciple Ling Xi reaped great benefits, reward of Enlightenment times 227.] [Disciple Qi Jingtian reaped great benefits, reward of Enlightenment times 127.] [Disciple Lei Yuan reaped great benefits, reward of Enlightenment times 241.] [Disciple Yan Yao reaped great benefits, reward of Enlightenment times 215.] [Disciple QingYun reaped great benefits, reward of Enlightenment times 162.] [Disciple Gu Bikong reaped great benefits, reward of Enlightenment times 170.] [Disciple Jiang Fan reaped great benefits, reward of Enlightenment times 171.] [Disciple Billion earned a small reward, reward of Enlightenment times 5.] [Remaining Enlightenment times: 1808 times.]

Once settled, the number of Enlightenment times had almost reached two thousand!

Li Cheng was overjoyed. With the Hall of Mentor’s Grace, the Immortal Palace, and the Seven Mystery Tower, the disciples he took in could enjoy a time flow ’ speed hundreds of times faster at any moment, making rapid progress, bringing extraordinary rewards.

So many opportunities for enlightenment, enough for nearly five years of seclusion!

And with the current cultivation at the Immortal Emperor Realm, each enlightenment session would surely comprehend over ten Laws. By this estimate, if I dedicate all this time to understanding the Rule of Fire, my mastery over the Rule of Fire will increase by over twenty thousand more! Now possessing sixteen thousand iterations of the Rule of Fire, once the seclusion is over, I will definitely be close to forty thousand, or even more! After all, I have now refined the Fire Mysterious Realm, and with the Rule of Fire there, the Laws I could comprehend in a state of enlightenment might be more than just over ten.

“This time I will be able to greatly enhance my strength, and with the addition of a ninth-level Rising Yuan Immortal Pill or a King-grade Half-God Pill, my cultivation could also reach Perfect Immortal Emperor.”

Li Cheng looked toward a secret chamber, let’s begin the seclusion!

At this moment, Mu Xingzhi happened to walk out of another secret chamber, saw Li Cheng, and couldn’t help but be stunned, “Little Uncle-Master, you’re back from the Central Continent so soon?”

Li Cheng sized up Mu Xingzhi, “Are you planning to undergo the Loose Immortal Tribulation?”

“Haha, you can’t hide anything from Little Uncle-Master. I’m ready, it’s time for my fifty-seventh Loose Immortal Tribulation!” Mu Xingzhi said confidently.

Li Cheng stroked his chin, “I don’t object to your persistent cultivation as a Loose Immortal, but I’m very curious, why don’t you form an Immortal Body and become a true Immortal?”

Li Cheng had wanted to ask tins question for a long time. After all, Loose Immortals are rare nowadays; few who meet the conditions for forming an Immortal Body choose not to do so.

Mu Xingzhi and the Seventh Elder were clearly exceptions. The Kunlun Realm has been revived for so long, yet they still don’t plan to condense an Immortal Body, but are instead desperately traversing the Loose Immortal Tribulation.

Mu Xingzhi smiled mysteriously, “Little Uncle-Master, it’s mainly because of you!”

“Me? I never told you to keep cultivating as Loose Immortals!” Li Cheng expressed doubtfully.

The smile on Mu Xingzhi’s face became even more mysterious as he said,

Little Uncle-Master has refined so many Responding to Calamity Pills, it would be a waste not to use them, right? So, the Seventh Elder and I decided to keep cultivating as Loose Immortals!”

Li Cheng pondered, faintly guessing something, and said suspiciously, “Could it be that you think by facing tribulations with a Loose Immortal body, you can increase your cultivation more quickly, and thus you’ve been doing this all along?”

Ever since Mu Xingzhi turned to cultivating as a Loose Immortal, he had been facing the Loose Immortal Tribulation every couple of days. With so many Responding to Calamity Pills refined by Li Cheng, he was never at risk of failure.

Now a Loose Immortal of fifty-six tribulations, if he took action, even a Complete Immortal King would have to retreat.

But if he were to cultivate normally, at this time he would at most be at the True Immortal Realm or Profound Immortal Realm, a far cry in strength.

Mu Xingzhi looked at Li Cheng in surprise, “Little Uncle-Master is indeed formidable, you’ve guessed it!”

Li Cheng was speechless, “Who wouldn’t guess that? This path is one all Loose Immortals would want to take if not for the lack of high-quality Responding to Calamity Pills.”

This is totally exploiting a bug!

And it’s exploiting a bug of heaven and earth!

These two guys really have guts.

But heaven and earth have their flaws, who made me refine so many high- quality Responding to Calamity Pills in the first place. With them, they could successfully overcome many Loose Immortal Tribulations.

When one day they feel it’s too difficult to continue, they can condense an Immortal Body and become a true Immortal. By then, their cultivation will likely be at the Immortal Venerable or even Immortal Emperor level.

This way, they could become Immortal Venerables or even Immortal Emperors in a very short period of time, whereas their peers, the First Elders, would still be Heavenly Immortals or True Immortals.

This disparity…

This bug…

Li Cheng secretly clicked his tongue, after all, it seemed he was the one who created the bug in heaven and earth.

However, on second thought, everyone who successfully crosses tribulation ascends to Immortality, and those who fail turn to the path of Loose Immortal. But who can be certain which is the correct path between Immortal and Loose Immortal?

Perhaps, this way of cultivation, just like what Mu Xingzhi does, is the true path of heaven and earth.

The power of Grand Venerable Bai Jie could be an example!

With this thought in mind, Li Cheng couldn’t help but be secretly alarmed; it seemed he had made a tremendous discovery!
