Chapter 293: Chapter 269: Don’t You Have a Clue?_3

Everyone forcefully suppressed their laughter; after so many years, everyone was accustomed to the First Elder taking the blame.

“Congratulations, Brother Li!” Grand Venerable Bai Jie and the Five Elements Great Emperor appeared together, with Bai Jie saying with a smile.

The Five Elements Great Emperor looked at Li Cheng, “When are you ascending?”

Li Cheng clasped his hands in a salute, “In three days!”

“Is Little Martial Uncle going to ascend to the Divine Realm?” The high-level members widened their eyes in shock.

Indeed, after Little Martial Uncle returned from tearing through space, his strength had already surpassed the realm of the Immortal World; it was time for him to ascend.

Mu Xingzhi was the first to come back to his senses, “Issue the order, notify all realms, and cordially invite all cultivators to witness Little Martial Uncle’s ascension!”

For a time, the entire Heavenly Mechanism Sect became busy, with countless transmission arrays operating nonstop…

On that day, the usually crowded Seven Mystery Tower was unexpectedly quiet, devoid of people.

All persons emerged from their retreats, staring at the Eighteenth Peak with excited expressions.

The news had spread; Eighteenth Elder Li Cheng would ascend from the Eighteenth Peak!

The entire Kunlun Realm immediately boiled with excitement, all transmission arrays bustling with activity.

Following that, all Ascend to Immortal Platforms also flickered non-stop as powerhouses from various realms rushed over.

Even the Immortal Court had a large number of high-ranking officials come to congratulate.

But Li Cheng didn’t concern himself with those things; the high-level members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect took care of them. At that moment, Li Cheng sat with all the familiar people, chatting and laughing.

Gu Sanqiu, old acquaintances from the Confucian Sect, and more came one after another.

“The Divine Realm refers to our place as the Kunlun Immortal Realm. If you could meet fellow townspeople in the Divine Realm, they would surely take special care of you. So, my worthy younger brother, when you’re in the Divine Realm, you might as well look for some fellow townspeople to rely on,” Gu Sanqiu said with emotion.

Looking for fellow townspeople to rely on? The crowd couldn’t help but be lost in silent laughter.

“Little Martial Uncle, why don’t you establish a Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Divine Realm? If we’re fortunate enough to ascend, it would be easier to find you!” the Seventh Elder suggested.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sect was founded by Tianji Zi, and it hadn’t been transmitted to the Divine Realm.

“You, ascending to the Divine Realm? Don’t you know your own talent and what level you can reach?” the First Elder bluntly quashed the Seventh Elder’s aspirations.

He remembered being tricked by the Seventh Elder before.

The Seventh Elder grinned sheepishly, “How about we spar a bit to liven up the mood for everyone?”

The First Elder immediately closed his mouth; he would be crazy to spar with him.

The Seventh Elder, this chap, had never condensed an Immortal Body and, like the Sect Master, continued to traverse through Loose Immortal Tribulations— he had overcome more than eighty of them, his strength terrifying beyond measure.

“Alright, everyone go busy yourselves. Little Martial Uncle’s ascension is imminent; let’s not occupy his precious time,” Mu Xingzhi stood up, taking away the sect’s higher-ups with him.

With not much time left, they left more time for Li Cheng to spend with his disciples.

“It’s a pity that Qi Jingtian hasn’t returned to send off his master,” Yun Tianqiong said with a bitter smile.

Li Cheng waved his hand, “Qi Jingtian is probably busy devouring Secret Lands in the Northern Region. His original form is a powerful creature of heaven and earth; his achievements in the future are likely to surpass yours.”

“We can’t let Second Senior Brother outshine us. Master, rest assured, we’ll ascend before him!” Jiang Fan said with a laugh.

All the disciples nodded, their expressions full of determination.

Li Cheng’s face was adorned with a smile, “Then your master will wait for you in the Divine Realm!”

During those three days, Li Cheng met many people. On this final day of ascension, Li Cheng stood at the summit, looking at the Tower of Chaos enveloped by formations, and then turned to Yun Fuxue beside him.

After a long silence, Li Cheng finally voiced the doubt in his heart, “Back when I went to the Confucian Sect to enter the place that suppressed the strong Corpse Clan’s forces, I felt like I was being spied upon. It was as if all secrets were being peeked at in that moment. Miss Yun, could you shed some light on this?”

Yun Fuxue’s expression was calm, but a hint of panic flickered in her eyes, which Li Cheng caught.

“I want to hear the truth,” Li Cheng added.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Yun Fuxue slowly lifted her head to meet Li Cheng’s gaze and smiled, “Bring the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns with you. Once your cultivation is strong enough, you will naturally understand.”

Li Cheng fell silent, ultimately nodding and changing the subject, “The first time I saw you, it was your guqin skill that left the lingering music in the air for three days. I was entranced by the music for a long time, and within its notes, I sensed a feeling of familiarity.”

Yun Fuxue pursed her lips in a smile, “Master Li, known throughout the Kunlun Immortal Realm, is this how you charm a girl? Not very clever!”

Li Cheng was at a loss for words; he was simply speaking the truth.

However, this feeling was like Yun Fuxue was skillfully changing the subject.

“If Master Li enjoys it, then I shall send you off with my guqin music!” Without allowing Li Cheng to ponder further, Yun Fuxue added.

Li Cheng smiled and looked up to the sky, “Here it comes!”

In the sky, colors began to emerge, with rich Divine Qi pouring down!

At this moment, not only above the Heavenly Mechanism Sect but throughout the entire Kunlun Realm, Immortal World, and the surrounding Star Domains, all skies displayed the same colorful light.

The light spread a refreshing and invigorating aura that permeated every corner rapidly.

Cultivators took a slight breath in, and the aura helped their cultivation advance; a single breath inhaled by mortals, and their ailments instantly vanished.

When someone in an Immortal Realm becomes a deity, auspicious omens can be seen everywhere; truly, it is a universal celebration!

Li Cheng’s figure began to rise uncontrollably, an overwhelming power emerging out of nowhere, baptizing him.

Yun Fuxue’s smile remained, though now tinged with a touch of sorrow, but she quickly composed herself, sat down cross-legged, and her guqin music began to resonate.

“The Divine Realm awaits you, take care!” Li Cheng circulated the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, accepting the baptism, his voice carrying forth.

“Master, take care!”

“Emperor Cheng, take care!”

Li Cheng smiled, “System, time to settle up!”

After so many years without settlement, there must have been a considerable accumulation of Enlightenment moments, which was also key for his start in the Divine Realm!

The next moment, a prompt sounded, and the smile on Li Cheng’s face grew even broader as he gazed over the vast Heavenly Mechanism Sect, then looked up at the sky.

Divine Realm, here I come!
