Chapter 249: Chapter 248: The Object Coveted by the Immortal Court_1

When the divine hands chose their master, Li Cheng was genuinely happy for

Gu Biyue.

Her talent was mediocre, but with these divine hands, her talent was bound to change subtly yet profoundly.

You should know that these divine hands were not those of an ordinary deity; a single drop of divine blood from them could refine a King-grade Half-God Pill, and the might emanating from the tens of drops of blood combined was so strong that even Li Cheng had to step back.

Such powerful and mysterious divine hands—if Gu Biyue could completely absorb the power and celestial substances within, it’s possible that she could become a deity herself.

Gu Biyue, looking at her hands that had returned to their normal appearance, was overjoyed and immediately knelt down, “Disciple thanks the revered master for your generous gift!”

[Detection of a disciple meeting the requirements, receiving a disciple now will grant a reward.]

At that moment, a prompt sounded unexpectedly, and a large green arrow appeared above Gu Biyue’s head.

Li Cheng was startled. Could this be possible?

If the conditions were not met, create the conditions?

With a light cough, Li Cheng smiled and said, “Stand up. From now on, you are also a True Disciple of mine, the tenth Disciple!”

Gu Biyue doubted her own ears, regularized?

Gu Biyue cried tears of joy and quickly collected herself, respectfully performing the ritual to acknowledge a master.

[Successful acceptance of disciple, reward 5 Enlightenment opportunities.]

[Current remaining Enlightenment opportunities: 5 times.]

The prompt rang out again, and a trace of surprise flickered through Li Cheng s eyes; the Enlightenment opportunities rewarded for accepting her as a disciple were shockingly more than for the other disciples!

With the divine hands, could her talent catch up with Qi Jingtian s?

[Disciple Gu Biyue received the Divine Hands gift, obtained a great breakthrough, reward 218 Enlightenment opportunities.]

[Current remaining Enlightenment opportunities: 223 times.]

The prompt sounded once more, leaving Li Cheng astounded!

To think that bestowing divine items upon a disciple could yield such immense gains!

If this was the case, should he go and search for more divine corpses or divine items to give to his disciples to earn a massive number of Enlightenment opportunities?

With another two or three thousand Enlightenment opportunities, he himself could comprehend the Rule of Fire to completion in a short period of time!

Thinking this, Li Cheng seemed to see a radiant path ahead of him, and he thought, it was time to find Bai Xian!

That mysterious Land of Darkness, apart from the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, the Divine Palace, the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, there might be other divine items or divine corpses to be found.

Moreover, he had already perfected the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to the full eighteen layers; now, he must find the remaining fifteen layers!

The thirty-three-layered Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture—if the first eighteen layers were enough to be invincible in the Immortal World, how could Li Cheng not look forward to the last fifteen layers?

Taking Gu Biyue back to the sect, she immediately went to the Seven Mystery Tower.

With her current state, she needed ample time to be nourished by those divine hands. Know that even a drop of divine blood could refine a King-grade Half­God Pill, but the most precious part of the divine hands wasn’t the divine blood.

It was the divine bones!

Once the essence of the divine bones merged into Gu Biyue’s body, she might even condense Divine Bone throughout her body and become the strongest among all disciples.

Li Cheng, full of sighs, sought out Bai Xian.

“Guest Li, are you planning to visit that place again?” Bai Xian’s eyes sparkled upon seeing Li Cheng.

Li Cheng nodded with a smile, understanding Bai Xian’s urgency; after all, the Wordless Heavenly Scripture was the foundation of the Wordless Sect, and the sooner it was retrieved, the sooner the Wordless Sect could grow stronger.

“Thankyou in advance, Elder Bai!” Li Cheng said, bowing with his hands clasped together.

Bai Xian quickly waved his hand, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to say, Guest Li, please don’t call me senior. Those who achieve greatness are leaders, and Guest Li’s cultivation has long surpassed mine.”

Li Cheng was in a good mood, but his cultivation had already put him at the very top of the pyramid, giving others an immense pressure unintentionally. He dared not presume to be a senior.

“I’ll send you in right now!”

As Bai Xian spoke, he transformed into his true form, but moments later, he reverted back to human shape with an embarrassed look, “Perhaps it’s because that place is too far away, I can’t seem to open the passage!”

Li Cheng understood, “It seems we need to return to Central Continent.”

This also indicated that the Land of Darkness was similar to a Secret Land, located somewhere within the Divine Palace Region, which is why one couldn’t open it from the Southern Domain.

“Bai Dao You, wait here for a moment. I’ll go ask if League Master Gu is heading back.”

Li Cheng said and rose to fly towards Heaven Secret Peak.

Atop Heaven Secret Peak, Tianji Zi and Gu Sanqiu were playing a game of strategy. Having spent many years inside the Seven Mystery Tower, Tianji Zi had already refined the King-grade Half-God Pill, and his face no longer showed any signs of old age.

Upon seeing Li Cheng, Gu Sanqiu wiped across the chessboard with a large hand, “It’s a draw, heh heh, after spending half a year in your Heavenly Mechanism Sect, it’s time for me to return. As the Alliance Hierarch of Pill League, I shouldn’t be away from Pill League for so long!”

Tianji Zi glanced at the completely scrambled board and shook his head helplessly, “You lose and don’t have the decency to admit it, growing thicker- skinned as you age.”

“Cut it out. If it wasn’t for Li Cheng looking for me, I would have turned the tables and won this round!” Gu Sanqiu said.

Li Cheng was speechless. Was he to blame for this?

“Brother Gu, no rush, continue the game, you can leave after we re done! As Li Cheng spoke, he waved his hand casually, and the Time Law flowed, rapidly restoring the chessboard to its original state before his arrival.

Gu Sanqiu’s old face instantly reddened from embarrassment and he changed the subject, “Younger Brother, you’ve been in the tower for over a thousand years, you must have important matters to discuss with your Ancestor Master, right? I’ll wait for you at Eighteenth Peak.”

Without waiting for Li Cheng’s response, Gu Sanqiu had already disappeared.

Tianji Zi stood up, looking at Li Cheng with a smile, “Xiao Cheng, aren’t you going to deal with those from Mysterious Profound Sect?”

Li Cheng inwardly clicked his tongue, sure enough, one couldn’t hide the actions against Gu Biyue from Tianji Zi.

“Xiao Yue said to leave them to her; I will satisfy this little wish of hers, Li Cheng said with a smile.

Tianji Zi glanced at Seven Mystery Tower and nodded slightly, “That child is strong-willed, now with great fortune upon her, she has become unfathomable to me. It seems she will have no problem resolving it herself.”

Even though the opponents were Immortal Emperors and heads of a sect, Tianji Zi apparently saw the destiny of that sect, which is why he spoke with such confidence.

“These people don’t dare to act against the sect; they only wait for us disciples to show ourselves. It’s a good opportunity to temper these disciples,” Li Cheng said.

Tianji Zi smiled, “That’s true. You must be extra cautious on your trip to Central Continent, as the Immortal Court probably suspects you carry a great secret and will likely try to deal with you.”

Although he said this, there wasn’t the slightest worry on Tianji Zi’s face.

When Li Cheng first entered the Immortal Emperor Realm, he could slay eight thousand strong foes, and now, having reached the Pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor Realm, who could possibly handle him?

So, why should Tianji Zi worry?

Li Cheng certainly had no concerns, laughing, “Let them come. I truly don t give it a second thought!”

The smile on Tianji Zi’s face thickened, “Let me showyou something!”

No sooner had he spoken, than a great number of Array Patterns emerged under Tianji Zi’s feet, quickly forming a Transmission Array.

Curious, Li Cheng also stepped onto the Transmission Array and in the next moment, the scenery before his eyes changed, and he found himself in an underground cavern.

The cavern wasn’t large, and white chains pulsating with Immortal Yuan extended from all around the cave, firmly locking a certain object at the center of the cave.

Li Cheng focused intently on the locked object, his eyebrows raising slightly, “This… could it be the object coveted by the Immortal Court?”
