Chapter 247: Chapter 246 No Calamity Seeking Calamity_1

Li Cheng was inwardly alarmed, feeling as though he had stumbled upon a momentous discovery. Consider this, once one has reached the Perfect immortal Emperor stage, they can go no further, except by comprehending the Laws in order to pursue an even higher realm.

But for a Loose Immortal, to continually pass through the Loose Immortal Tribulation and keep growing stronger, like Grand Venerable Bai Jie, even a Perfect Immortal Emperor would seem as trivial as an ant before him.

That is likely an existence comparable to a deity.

Moreover, with high-quality Responding to Calamity Pills, the Loose Immortal Tribulation is nothing to fear. Each time after surviving the Loose Immortal Tribulation and borrowing the baptism of heaven and earth, one’s strength would increase enormously, much faster than after becoming an immortal.

In contrast, after becoming an immortal, one’s lifespan increases much more, whereas a Loose Immortal only extends their life by a thousand years with each Loose Immortal Tribulation. Even with a hundred tribulations, that is only a hundred thousand years.

But for an Immortal Emperor, the lifespan can range from a million years to a billion years.

However, the strength gained from surpassing a hundred tribulations, is simply incomparable to that of an Immortal Emperor.

“This is quite contradictory. The strength is immense, but the lifespan… falls short. This must be a case of having respective strengths and weaknesses, right?”

Li Cheng pondered deeply, always feeling that the path of the Loose Immortal contained great secrets.

“Sect Master, keep it up, looking forward to you becoming an existence like

Grand Venerable Bai Jie!” Li Cheng said with a smile.

Mu Xingzhi’s eyes brightened. That was one of the ten extraordinary figures, an invincible being of this era. Mu Xingzhi had thought about forming his Immortal Body when facing difficulties in his Tribulation Crossing. But upon hearing Li Cheng’s words…

He felt that he should accumulate more before attempting Tribulation Crossing again, as that would take him further.

Li Cheng entered the secret chamber, sat down, and took a level nine Rising Yuan Immortal Pill. His mind then delved into the Fire Mysterious Realm, and he began his Enlightenment.

One thousand eight hundred Enlightenment sessions, and he would worry about what to do next only after they were depleted.

Li Cheng went into seclusion, and by now, both the Kunlun Realm and the Immortal World were already in an uproar.

Not long ago, more than three hundred Immortal Emperors with thousands of Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings perished outside the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. This news had completely spread throughout both realms.

As countless cultivators were shocked by this information, the news that the person who had killed the eight thousand strong was the successor to the Pill League Alliance Hierarch spread far and wide.

These two pieces of news sent both realms into a complete frenzy.

Many speculated that only the Immortal Court could dispatch such an enormous force capable of eliminating eight thousand peerless strong beings, but the Immortal Court said it had good relations with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and even sent Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to assist with the sect’s relocation to the Kunlun Realm.

For a time, few dared to speculate further.

But Li Cheng’s fame had completely resonated throughout both realms.

The Kunlun Southern Region became extremely lively, with numerous powerful beings flocking from various domains, most of whom wished to join the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sect was enjoying boundless glory, but beneath this splendor, there was an inevitable undercurrent stirring.

“Sect Master, it was indeed that person who killed the Young Sect Master and Elder Chen. But he has been in seclusion since returning to the sect half a year ago, and with the profound mysteries of the Seven Mystery Tower, I fear his cultivation is now beyond anyone’s reach!”

Within a city outside the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, inside a large residence, a group of more than ten people gazed in the direction of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. An elderly figure at the level of an Immortal Venerable spoke up.

The one standing at the forefront was an eagle-nosed old man in his fifties, his sharp eyes piercing toward the direction of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, as if he could see thousands of miles to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect itself.

The old man’s face was grim, “My Mysterious Profound Sect has always remained hidden in the Ancient Ruins, never provoking this person. Yet he killed my son and the elder of our sect. No matter how strong his cultivation is, this enmity must be avenged!”

The others sighed inwardly. The debt had to be repaid, yet the man had not left the Seven Mystery Tower since returning to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect half a year ago, and no one knew how terrifying his true strength might be.

Half a year ago, he had already single-handedly slain so many Immortal Emperors, Immortal Venerables, and Immortal Kings!

The profound mysteries of the Seven Mystery Tower were now known to all.

Swish!

Just then, an Immortal Venerable teleported in, “Sect Master, good news. I’ve found out that one of that person’s disciples is about to undergo Tribulation Crossing. The location is set in the Red Flame Mountain Range to the north.

The old man’s eyebrows raised, and a fierce light surged in his eyes, “That person has nine disciples. The one about to become an immortal through Tribulation Crossing, could it be the one with the Innate Taoist Body?

The power of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect surged too quickly, with many secrets no longer hidden. With a little investigation, it was not difficult to find out about Li Cheng’s disciple.

The one who possessed an Innate Taoist Body was naturally Qing Yun, the sixth disciple.

The Immortal Venerable shookhis head, “Not a True Disciple, but a registered disciple by the name of Gu Biyue. As far as I know, she came from that little mountain village just outside our sect’s territory.”

When Gu Bikong and his sister left the mountain village, the incident occurred right under the Mysterious Profound Sect’s watch; how could they not know after a little investigation?

“Gu Biyue? All those in that village with a trace of talent joined our sect. She did not, which indicates her talent was quite ordinary, and yet she is about to cross the Tribulation to become an immortal?” The elder frowned slightly.

Everyone was secretly shocked. Even someone of such ordinary talent could become an immortal?

Could it be that Li Cheng put great effort into her? What a waste!

Little did they know, after Li Cheng took on a disciple, he basically played the role of a hands-off manager, hardly putting in any great effort.

After the surprise, the elder sneered, “Then let’s start with her. That man killed my son, so I will kill all his disciples!”

“Sect Master, let me handle it. With your status as an Immortal Emperor, it is beneath you to strike down a junior,” a voice chimed in from the edge, belonging to an Immortal King.

The elder shook his head resolutely, “I must personally take care of this matter!”

The rest looked hesitant, as for an Immortal Emperor to cut down a junior who was about to undergo Tribulation Crossing was easier than squashing an ant.

But indeed, it was beneath his dignity.

“Back then Li…”

“Stop. Don’t mention his name. At his level of cultivation, just mentioning his name would surely cause him to sense it.”

“You all wait here. I will return shortly,” said the elder as he disappeared from the spot.

The Red Flame Mountain Range was only several hundred thousand miles from there, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived.

With his level of cultivation, he actually did not need to rush over; he could have killed Gu Biyue with just a thought.

But to act within the bounds of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would ensure that its powerhouses were immediately alerted, and then the people of the Mysterious Profound Sect would find it impossible to leave.

In the Red Flame Mountain Range, Gu Biyue’s lively eyes sparkled with brilliance. Who would have thought that after following Li Cheng for less than a year, she would already be crossing the Tribulation to become an immortal!

However, she had actually been cultivating for nearly four hundred years, lagging quite behind the other disciples.

But Gu Biyue was not discouraged in the slightest. Becoming an immortal by crossing the Tribulation was just the beginning; the longer journey lay ahead.

She looked up at the rapidly gathering tribulation clouds in the sky, her expression resolute, “Master, your disciple will not let you down!” “Tsk, tsk… in today’s Kunlun Realm, one can become an immortal without crossing the tribulation. Little girl, why would you trigger the Heaven Tribulation?” Suddenly, a voice arose—it was the Sect Master of the Mysterious Profound Sect.

Indeed, after the revival of the Kunlun Realm, once one’s cultivation reached the Complete Transcendence Tribulation Stage, one could directly condense an Immortal Body and become a Heavenly Immortal, without the need for crossing the tribulation.

For someone like Gu Biyue to trigger the Heaven Tribulation had become extremely rare.

Gu Biyue’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, “I do not know which senior is present, but please leave the range of this junior’s Heaven Tribulation!”

The elder sneered with disdain, his figure appearing a hundred miles away from Gu Biyue, right at the edge of the tribulation range, and teased, “Little girl, the tribulation clouds have gotten several times stronger. Can you withstand it?”

In the sky, influenced by the elder, the aura of the tribulation clouds suddenly increased several-fold. This was only because he was standing at the edge—if he were to step closer, the tribulation might crush Gu Biyue!

How could Gu Biyue not realize this person was ill-intentioned!

Yet, she was not the least bit frightened. She glanced at the tribulation clouds before shifting her gaze to the elder, “The tribulation clouds have grown more than three times stronger, but senior, if you wish to see this junior fall under the Heaven Tribulation, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed!”
