Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Are You Dumbfounded Now?_i

Feng Wanli, this fellow, was still standing there in a daze.
Your ancestor has just perished, you should be hurrying to search for treasures. What if someone else beats you to it?
Feng Wanli snapped back to reality and nodded slightly, “I’ll go now, and you should also try this Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal to see if you can sense any other incarnations.”
Li Cheng was speechless, so he simply handed the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal over to Feng Wanli, “You do it, your Taoist Mysterious Sect is strong, you should lead the way with this.”
A gleam of joy appeared in Feng Wanli’s eyes as he hurriedly took it, “Okay, no problem!”
After taking the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal, Feng Wanli strode away.
Li Cheng shook his head slightly, clearly understanding Feng Wanli’s intentions.
The Taoist Mysterious Sect was the leader among the top ten sects. Now, with the chance to lead the world’s powerhouses to search for someone else’s incarnations using the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal, it was yet another demonstration of the sect’s status. How could he not be pleased?
Li Cheng wasn’t interested in this. Currently, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect didn’t have the strength to lead, so it was better to leave it to the Taoist Mysterious Sect.
Let them be the ones to face the music, for the Taoist Mysterious Sect will carry on!
“Senior, I really didn’t expect that using the Sword Path Rules against enemies would be this easy. With my current strength, 1 could face ordinary True Immortals without fear, right?”
Li Cheng looked at the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, asking curiously.
“Why do you always underestimate yourself?” came the calm voice of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.
“Rules, to a certain extent, are derivatives of Laws. Each Law can derive into 129,600 various rules, and vice versa. You possess quite a few of the Space Law, don’t you?”
“Not really that many, just about a hundred so far, but I’ll continue to work hard,” said Li Cheng.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was momentarily speechless before he said, “In the future, delete the word ‘just’ from your dictionary. If I hear it again, I’m afraid 1 won’t be able to resist the urge to die.”
Li Cheng was speechless. Did this mean possessing a hundred Space Laws was already a lot?
“I just said that the reverse is also true. That is, if one comprehends 129,600 rules, there’s a chance to condense them into a Law. Do you understand now?” again posed Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.
Li Cheng nodded, enlightened, “I understand now. That means I essentially have control over more than twelve million Space Rules.”
“Exactly, so why don’t you apply the Space Law to your swordsmanship?”
“If you can combine them perfectly, slicing open space with one sword isn’t difficult, right? With such power, not to mention True Immortals, even Profound Immortals couldn’t withstand it, right?”
Li Cheng pondered over Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s words. No wonder he thought he always underestimated himself; he really was unaware of the treasures he bore.
After pondering for a moment, Li Cheng nodded firmly, “1 understand. But I’ll take it slow with applying the Space Law to my swordsmanship. I think 1 want to apply the Time Law to my swordsmanship first!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan suddenly floated out of the tripod, astonished, “You’ve also mastered the Time Law?”
Li Cheng nodded, “Only…”
“Stop, say it again!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan quickly gestured, afraid that after Li Cheng’s ‘only,’ another terrifying number would follow.
Li Cheng rolled his eyes, “Alright, there are just fifty rules of the Time Law. Although not as many as the Space Law, it can affect the flow of time. If applied to swordsmanship, 1 believe my opponents won’t have the chance to evade my attacks.”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s mouth twitched severely, “1 don’t understand. Why do you always think you have so few Laws? Why use the word ‘just,’ isn’t it the same as ‘only’?”
Li Cheng was at a loss for words, “Senior, let’s not quibble over the choice of words. Let’s talk about swordsmanship instead!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan felt uneasy. Others strive arduously to comprehend rules, and reaching the understanding of more than 129,600 could possibly condense into a Law after tens of thousands of years.
But this fellow just gets it directly, and still complains about scarcity?
Sigh!
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan heaved a sigh, suddenly realizing he had to get used to this freak’s abnormalities, otherwise, his own state of mind would be in grave danger!
Composing himself, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, “Actually, I suggest you consider the Space Law first. No matter what, you have more of those, and using it in your swordsmanship will naturally enhance its power.”
Li Cheng nodded, musing, “That makes sense. 1’11 consider both the Space Law and the Rule of Fire first then!”
“I apply the Rule of Fire to enhance the power of my Spiritual Fire for Alchemy,” he said.
“But the senior reminded me, so I tried to devise a Fire Sword Technique. When 1 slash with my sword, it’ll be like burning the heavens and boiling the seas… Senior, what’s wrong with you?”
Li Cheng, engrossed in his own words, suddenly realized that Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan had frozen in place as if he were under a paralysis spell.
After a long pause, Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan gave a light cough, “I’m fine, I’m very calm, I’m very composed. What other Laws do you have? Let me give you some advice.”
Li Cheng was overjoyed; it was time for guidance from the Immortal Emperor again!
“Senior, aside from these three, I only have fifty pathways of the Life Law and ten pathways of the Thunder Law. If I integrate them into my swordsmanship, wouldn’t that result in a Life Sword Technique? A Thunder Sword Technique?”
Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan felt somewhat numb, as if he couldn’t muster any energy, and calmly said, “That’s right. Swordsmanship can put people on the brink of death, and since it can lead towards death, naturally, it can also lead towards life. You possess the Life Law; you can achieve that.”
“As for the Thunder Law, integrating it into your swordsmanship would be quite good. With one strike, a myriad of thunder follows.”
“Wait a moment, Li Cheng, young man, I just thought of a problem,” the Immortal Emperor suddenly spoke with an invigorated spirit, looking at Li Cheng with excitement.
Li Cheng looked puzzled, “What problem?”
The Immortal Emperor’s expression turned playful, “With so many Laws at your command, you’ve basically got the recognition of the Order of Heaven and Earth. So, hehe, can you still sense the Tribulation Thunder?”
Upon pondering this issue, Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan suddenly felt that he might have a chance to turn the tables!
If you can’t sense the Tribulation Thunder, then you can’t cross the tribulation!
And if you can’t cross the tribulation, how can you ascend?
Ha, this youngster can’t ascend!
There you go showing off!
Acting all serious with your boasting, now you’re dumbfounded, aren’t you?
In the midst of Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan’s playful demeanor, Li Cheng was shaking his head, “I haven’t specifically sensed it deeply. From a preliminary sensing, it’s indeed possible that 1 cannot detect it, but 1 haven’t tried to delve into it.”
“Hurry up and try!” urged Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan.
Go ahead and try!
When you find you can’t sense the Tribulation Thunder and can’t ascend, hehe, that’s when the fun begins.
Li Cheng kept shaking his head, “No, 1 won’t try. Senior, what if I actually sense it, and the Tribulation Thunder comes for me?”
“That’s the point! With your strength, there’s no need to fear the Tribulation Thunder. Just give it a try!” said Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan.
Still, Li Cheng shook his head, “Let’s not. To tell you the truth, senior, 1 actually don’t want to ascend.”
Hmm?
Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan’s eyes widened, what did he mean by that?
He had thought that once the kid realized he couldn’t ascend, he himself would have a chance to turn the tables, but what now?
This kid actually doesn’t want to ascend?
“Is it that you cannot ascend, or you do not wish to ascend?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan tried to ask.
If Li Cheng had discovered that he couldn’t ascend and had accepted reality, then the Immortal Emperor could still mock him for a while, still able to turn the situation in his favor.
Li Cheng shrugged, “Senior, let’s not talk about this. If I tell you, you’ll definitely make fun of me.”
Speak! 1 want to laugh at you!
“I am a Sword Cultivator, and furthermore, I’m an Immortal Emperor of the Sword Dao. 1 can assist you in integrating those Laws into your swordsmanship quickly, but, I want to know the answer to this question,” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan said with a light cough..
