Chapter 435: Chapter 339 Coffin of Hundred Lives_1

“`

No matter what kind of existence the Secret Land is, the fact that the God Race would momentarily cease their assault to send over ten thousand Divine Venerables into it speaks volumes of its extraordinariness.

“There’s no time to delay, Senior Brother, I will depart now!” Li Cheng said.

Chaos Yuan Great Venerable nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the space within dozens of feet around him turned into an endless starry sky.

He pointed to the endless starry sky and said, “This is the Starry Sky Divine Road, located in the western part of the Divine Realm. We have set up several Transmission Arrays in this star region that can help reach the end of the Starry Sky Divine Road.”

“Once you reach the end, there will be no more stars. At that time, the Confucius Ancestor will open the Diagram of Qiankun’s Positive Qi to guide you.”

In the dark world beyond the endless stars, without a guide, it’s easy to become lost.

The Diagram of Qiankun’s Positive Qi is one of the treasures of the Confucian Sect, said to be painted by the first Confucius Ancestor. Compared to the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns that Li Cheng had, it was far more prestigious.

As for its power, Li Cheng had not activated it, so he was not clear about it.

The Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns was painted by his father billions of years ago, depicting the lantern lights of thousands of homes in the Kunlun Immortal Realm. With the change of eras in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, the picture also declined.

Li Cheng had once re-refined the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns using the Funeral Refining Heaven Technique, and now it seemed quite trivial in comparison. However, even so, it was tantamount to reactivating it. After coming to the Divine Realm, it constantly absorbed the might of heaven and earth, and its power already showed signs of returning to its former glory.

Chaos Yuan Great Venerable handed the Transmission route to Li Cheng, “Try to conceal your aura along the way!”

Li Cheng nodded, taking Yun Fuxue with him as they bid farewell and departed.

“I feel that there are some words that Sovereign of Origin conveyed on behalf of our master. Has something happened to him?” Yun Fuxue voiced her concern via transmission after leaving the palace.

She should not have spoken such words, but she knew that Li Cheng also had his suspicions, so she decided to speak out, to prepare everyone mentally.

Li Cheng nodded slightly, his expression growing serious, “If I’m not mistaken, my father should have gone to the Long River of Time!”

Yun Fuxue was taken aback, concern clearly written on her face. The Long River of Time was fraught with dangers, and not even a Divine Emperor could guarantee a safe return.

As for why the Confucius Ancestor went to the Long River of Time, both Li Cheng and Yun Fuxue understood that it was very likely to uncover the truth of a trillion years ago, and also to find the method that the ancestors used back then to drive the God Race out of the Divine Realm.

With the current truce of a thousand years, this indeed was the best opportunity to search the Long River of Time for answers.

“Master didn’t bring the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism, and from what Sovereign of Origin implied, he didn’t even bring the Diagram of Qiankun’s Positive Qi…”

Li Cheng interrupted Yun Fuxue’s words, saying, “Don’t worry, my father’s journey to the Long River of Time is to the past. The mighty ones in the history of the Confucian Sect will definitely notice, and they will protect him!”

Once one’s cultivation reaches a certain realm, one can clearly perceive the secrets of heaven and sense the anomalies in the Long River of Time. With my father’s cultivation, venturing to the past will surely alert many formidable figures from history.

These formidable figures, sensing the secrets of heaven, will certainly lend their assistance.

Back at Heaven Majesty Mansion in the Mansion Venerable City, the two headed for the Transmission Array, but in the next moment, Li Cheng’s expression turned to one of shock. “Master, how did you come here?”

Wu Ya paced back and forth outside the Transmission Array, his face showing displeasure.

Upon seeing Li Cheng, Wu Ya’s face showed even more discontent. “I only learned upon leaving seclusion that you’ve returned to the Confucian Sect for quite a few decades now. What I don’t understand is, upon your return to the Confucian Sect, why haven’t you looked for your master?”

Li Cheng coughed awkwardly, “Master, weren’t you in seclusion? That’s why I didn’t disturb you.”

“Do you say these words without feeling guilty?”

Li Cheng certainly felt somewhat guilty because indeed, he hadn’t visited his master during his time in the Confucian Sect.

Wu Ya didn’t dwell on the matter and, flipping his hand, took out a coffin. “Take this with you, it might come in handy.”

Li Cheng was startled. Did his master know that he was going to the Outer Great Wall?

But to give a coffin… was that an auspicious symbol?

Li Cheng took it and examined it. The coffin was incredibly mysterious, its material unrecognizable, impossible to open, with no way of knowing what was inside.

“Master, what’s inside this?” Li Cheng asked curiously.

Wu Ya stroked his chin’s beard, “Of course, a coffin is meant for a body. What else could it be, a dowry?”

Li Cheng’s mouth twitched, about to speak, but Wu Ya cut him off with a wave of his hand, “Don’t ask, just take it with you.”

Left with no choice, Li Cheng put away the coffin.

“Your journey is fraught with more dangers than fortunes, so be careful. I will wait for your return at the Confucian Sect,” Wu Ya stated before stepping onto the Transmission Array.

Li Cheng was lost for words. Couldn’t he say something more auspicious?

Only after Wu Ya had disappeared did Yun Fuxue speak, “Wu Ya once reincarnated nine times and frequently entered the Long River of Time. When it comes to understanding history, perhaps no one can surpass him. This coffin he gave must be of great importance.”

Li Cheng nodded. Nine reincarnations were only what was known to the public. In truth, Li Cheng suspected that he had done so much more. It was possible that one or even several prominent figures from history were him!

“I am really curious whose body lies inside!” Li Cheng remarked.

Yun Fuxue was equally curious, but both knew that they should not open it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Suppressing their curiosity, the pair stepped onto the Transmission Array and headed down the Starry Sky Divine Road.

After making hundreds of transfers, the stars ahead grew fewer, and in the silent void, the sense of oppression intensified.

Having spent a long time in the Emperor’s Perishing No Return Domain, Li Cheng was accustomed to this kind of pressure, but Yun Fuxue looked increasingly pale. The further they went, the worse she felt.

“Xuer, you might be better off entering my Divine World, and I can travel alone,” Li Cheng said, unable to bear seeing her discomfort.
