Li Cheng gazed indifferently at Feng Wanli, waiting for his response.
‘They say it is the Immortal Mansion of an Immortal Emperor, so why wait? Isn’t it good to go now?’
Feng Wanli coughed lightly, “Li Cheng, don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I want to take advantage of these two months to explore the Immortal Mansion ahead of time, but that it hasn’t appeared in the world yet, and it’s simply not possible to enter.”
‘Then how can you be so sure that it will appear after the conference?’
Feng Wanli chuckled, “You wouldn’t believe me if 1 told you, but there is a countdown around the perimeter of that Immortal Mansion!”
Li Cheng’s eyebrows twitched slightly, Countdown?
‘Countdown my ass, why don’t you say the Immortal Mansion set an alarm clock?’
“I told you you wouldn’t believe me, but you really should! Li Cheng, why do you always not believe me?” Feng Wanli said with a rueful smile.
‘Then like this, take me to see now, seeing is believing!’ Li Cheng said.
Feng Wanli shook his head helplessly, “I’m tied up at the moment!”
Li Cheng gave Feng Wanli a contemptuous look; now great, he even doubted whether the so-called Immortal Emperor’s Immortal Mansion was real!
‘You have to trust me, I really am tied up. The Confucian Immortals from the Confucianism Path are about to come looking for me at the Taoist Mysterious Sect. They are coming from Kunlun in the Eastern Region; I can’t just abandon them, can I?’ Feng Wanli’s face was full of helplessness.
Li Cheng’s expression still held scorn, ‘So you just abandon me instead?’
Feng Wanli felt a bit hairy under Li Cheng’s gaze and coughed dryly, ‘How about this, when those Confucian Immortals arrive, we’ll all go explore together, would that work?’
‘Cultivators of the Confucianism Path, are they the kind that kill enemies with poetry and prose?’ Li Cheng suddenly asked.
In the Southern Domain, there were no Cultivators of the Confucianism Path.
Li Cheng had only read about them in books, where they were briefly introduced, not as much as Li Cheng had read in novels.
Feng Wanli was stunned and his helpless face turned to astonishment, ‘All this silence and you were thinking about this?’
Li Cheng shrugged, ‘Alright, I’m off, see you at the Great Sect Conference!’
As the words fell, Li Cheng had already left with the Astonished God Tripod.
Feng Wanli stood there dumbfounded, the change in the situation was quite abrupt – one second he was curious about Confucianism, the next he was gone?
Was he unwilling to deal with me?
Back when we were in Qi Jingshen’s Secret Land, didn’t we get along quite well?
Sighing, Feng Wanli watched Li Cheng’s retreating figure and suddenly shouted, ‘Li Cheng, the Transmission Array is in that direction!’
A space fluctuation emerged around Li Cheng, and his figure instantly disappeared.
Seeing this, Feng Wanli’s eyes widened, ‘Goodness gracious, the Immortal Spirit Step! It’s only been a month and he’s learned the Immortal Spirit Step?’
In thirty steps, Li Cheng had returned to his sect.
Looking at the Astonished God Tripod beside him, Li Cheng said, ‘Still sulking? You’re being too petty. Are you upset just because you didn’t get to kill a few Loose Immortals? Do you need to hold a grudge for so long?’
“Speak for yourself; Young Lord is sensing the location of my big brother!” the Astonished God Tripod retorted grumpily.
Li Cheng frowned, “Didn’t you say you knew where my teacher went? Why do you need to sense?’
‘I need to sense properly to know his location!’ responded the Astonished God Tripod.
Li Cheng’s frown deepened, ‘You trickster, you’ve refined Lu Sanqian and now you’re telling me? If you can’t sense him, how are we going to find my teacher?’
‘I can sense him; what’s the rush? I just need a little time,’ the Astonished God Tripod replied.
Li Cheng could clearly feel that the Astonished God Tripod was already running out of confidence.
‘Damn it! Astonished God Tripod, you’d better be able to sense him, otherwise, I’ll have you reforged!’ Li Cheng scolded.
There are countless dangerous places in this world, many of which can block sensing, even deceive the heavens!
If teacher had gone to such a place, the Astonished God Tripod definitely wouldn’t be able to sense him!
The Astonished God Tripod fell silent, then suddenly said after a few seconds, ‘That must be Qi Jingtian, right? A familiar sense; I was the one who forged that flesh body of his!’
‘Are you changing the subject?’ Li Chengasked with raised eyebrows and a somewhat unpleasant look on his face.
‘No, Young Lord is sensing the location of my big brother!’ the Astonished God Tripod said with certainty.
Li Cheng didn’t interrupt, waiting silently, yet feeling a bit anxious inside.
Lu Sanqian knew where his master had gone, and he was about to reveal it when the Astonished God Tripod didn’t give him the chance.
Now if the Astonished God Tripod couldn’t sense it, that would be terrible.
After a long while, the Astonished God Tripod’s voice rang out, “I’ve sensed it, 1’11 go find my big brother right now!”
“I’m coming too!” Li Cheng spoke up without hesitation.
“Humph, you think this lord would be willing to take you with me? As if!” the Astonished God Tripod said irritably.
Li Cheng was about to speak, but the Astonished God Tripod had already vanished on the spot, “Don’t worry, I will bring my big brother back. Then we’ll see how he deals with you!”
As its voice faded away, the Astonished God Tripod had already disappeared beyond Li Cheng’s sensing range.
Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, sensing it was all that mattered. With the Astonished God Tripod on the case, it surely wouldn’t be long before he saw his master!
When the master sees him and learns of his current achievements, he will definitely be very happy!
Hmm, I need to think about what gift to prepare for the master.
Emperor Grade Responding to Calamity Pill? Absolutely necessary!
Immortal Artifact? Probably not needed since there’s the Astonished God Tripod.
“I should extort some treasures from Feng Wanli of the Immortal World!” Li Cheng suddenly felt that he should have brought Feng Wanli along just now.
“How about crafting a set of Nascent Soul armor?” Li Cheng had an idea.
Nascent Soul armor, specially designed to protect the Nascent Soul, had saved Lu Sanqian’s Immortal Infant previously, or else he might have been killed by that punch of his.
This item could save one’s life at a critical moment.
Immortal Artifact grade Nascent Soul armor, that’s settled. Find the time and place to craft it to avoid causing trouble for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect again.
Meanwhile, after traveling a million miles to the north, the Astonished God Tripod stopped, muttering bitterly to itself, “Damn, how am 1 supposed to find it in this vast world!”
Indeed, it had not sensed Wu Ya’s location at all!
It had boldly claimed to have felt it, just to save face.
“Big brother Wu Ya, where on earth have you been tricked into going?” The Astonished God Tripod was on the verge of tears, as Lu Sanqian was already beside himself with worry, and it could only rely on itself to start a slow search.
After a considerable time, the Astonished God Tripod seemed to steel its resolve, “I, the great Astonished God Tripod, refuse to be intimidated by these difficulties! Even if I have to traverse every perilous place in the Southern Domain, I must find you!”
Whoosh!
The Astonished God Tripod vanished on the spot once again, continuing on its journey.
At the Eighteenth Peak, Li Cheng had already decided to craft Immortal Artifact grade Nascent Soul armor, searching through Qi Jingshen’s Storage Ring for materials.
But to forge an Immortal Artifact, he first needed to refine Immortal Materials, so Li Cheng casually took out a piece of low-grade Immortal Mine from the Storage Ring to attempt it.
A tea’s time later, the Immortal Mine began to melt, and Li Cheng also stopped, “It’s too slow!”
Sharpening the ax will not delay the work of chopping wood. It seems I need to have an enlightenment to understand more of the Rule of Fire!
“We pay our respects to Master!”
At this moment, Yun Tianqiong and the others arrived in unison, bowing respectfully.
Li Cheng nodded slightly, looking up and seeing the relieved expressions on all three, he couldn’t help but be curious, “Is everything alright with you?”
Qi Jingtian chuckled, “We guessed that Master must have encountered danger in the south, causing the sect’s powerhouses to mobilize collectively. But they didn’t take us with them, and the Sixth Elder even sealed off our peak, so we’ve been very worried.”
Li Cheng smiled, a warmth flowing through his heart, “It was just a small matter. You don’t have to worry about your teacher. In two more months, it will be the Great Gathering of a Hundred Sects. Prepare well and aim for a good ranking.”
The three nodded vigorously, the rewards for the Great Gathering of a Hundred Sects had already spread— it was a chance to enter the Immortal Mansion!
With their Master present, they didn’t care about the Immortal Mansion but about the ranking—they must achieve the best results to reward their Master! “Master, rest assured, we will not let you down!”
Li Cheng nodded, “Don’t feel too much pressure either. You may go.”
“Oh, and if the sect’s people come looking for me after they return, tell them I’ll be out for a month or two.”
With that, Li Cheng had already disappeared on the spot, heading straight for the Red Flame Mountain Range..
