Elder Qingfeng and others looked up at the sky where the fierce flames had not yet dissipated, resembling dazzling fireworks.

Everyone’s faces were filled with shock. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe that Li Cheng had actually killed the Sky-reaching Giant Ape with a single arrow effortlessly!

“The Life and Death Demon Dragon Bow is excessively powerful,” Feng Wanli murmured. “I take back my previous words. This arrow, I’m afraid even a Golden Immortal would not be able to withstand it.”

Elder Qingfeng’s facial muscles twitched. Well, you’re really good at giving examples. First, you said an arrow could kill a Profound Immortal, and nowyou say it can kill a Golden Immortal—I am a Golden Immortal!

As if to confirm his own speculation, Feng Wanli hastily looked at Elder Qingfeng. “Senior, you are a Golden Immortal. If it were you, could you have withstood that arrow just now?”

Elder Qingfeng was stunned. You’re using me as an example, and now you want to confirm it?

Clearing his throat, Elder Qingfeng said, “That arrow is very strange. If it were me, I would also be unable to avoid it. I’d have no choice but to take it head-on, and the outcome of taking it head-on is uncertain.”

“Is that so? Now I can confirm it; Li Cheng must have crafted the Life and Death Demon Dragon Bow specifically for that arrow!” Feng Wanli stated confidently. Ye Chenfeng also nodded. “Clearly, that’s the case!”

Monkey Kongxu and Elder Qingfeng’s eyes widened. Crafting a bow for a single arrow?

What a talent!

However, such an arrow indeed warrants a bow.

Feng Wanli and Ye Chenfeng had witnessed Li Cheng obtaining that arrow. At that time, the arrow had emitted fluctuations that even shaved two hundred years off their lifespans.

And that was without anyone activating it.

Such a powerful arrow, indeed, even a Golden Immortal would fear it.

The Arrow of Time had already flown back into Li Cheng’s hand, and under his manipulation, death energy from within thousands of miles was continuously converging, gathering at Li Cheng’s feet.

Monkey Kongxu sighed as he looked at the tomb. “I’m afraid this tomb brings bad luck.”

The Sky-reaching Giant Ape had become part of the Corpse Clan right here in this tomb. Who knows whether there are other deceased ancestors who would turn into the Corpse Clan.

“What now? You’re thinking of digging out the tomb?” Elder Qingfeng teased.

Monkey Kongxu glanced irritably at Elder Qingfeng. “Once Li Cheng gains the Formation inheritance of the Great Emperor, we may have to ask him to set up an Immortal Array to suppress it.”

“You’re quite imaginative. Better to just dig it out; it’s simpler,” Elder Qingfeng chuckled.

Monkey Kongxu was about to retort, but then he saw Li Cheng, while gathering death energy, casually crafting a hoe and starting to dig!

What he was digging was the ancestral burial ground of the Monkey Clan!

“What…what are you doing?” Monkey Kongxu panicked, that was the resting place of his ancestors, it couldn’t be disturbed!

“I was only joking. I didn’t expect Li Cheng to take it seriously!”

Elder Qingfeng clicked his tongue in amazement, casting a meaningful look at the monkey.

Li Cheng was only digging within the boundary of the tomb and had not disturbed the actual graves because as the death energy gathered, he discovered something inside the tomb!

“Perhaps Li Cheng has found the Corpse Clan. Don’t panic, Monkey King,” Feng Wanli coughed.

Monkey Kongxu’s expression was complicated. I thought of you as a brother, and you’re digging up the burial ground of my Monkey Clan?

What should I do?

Maybe he really did find something!

A moment later, all the death energy had coalesced into a fist-sized pearl, quietly floating, its deathly aura concealed, appearing profoundly abysmal.

The crowd couldn’t wait to get closer, only to see that Li Cheng had already dug a pit more than two meters deep.

“Benefactor, why not use magic? That would be so much easier,” Elder Qingfeng asked.

Li Cheng looked up at the people outside the pit and laughed, “Monkey King, I apologize, but you can rest assured, I did not dig any graves. I just found something underneath.”

If this were not a tomb, Li Cheng would certainly have just blasted it open with a stomp; no need for all this trouble.

But after all, this was the tomb of the Monkey Clan, and to do so would have been truly indefensible.

“Don’t worry, brother, let me do it. I’ve dug who knows how many holes and buried who knows how many monkeys and their offspring over the tens of thousands of years; I’m well-practiced at this!” the monkey said with a laugh. “No need, I’ve found it!”

Li Cheng said as he drove the shovel into the ground, uncovering a multicolored pearl.

Upon seeing the pearl, Elder Qingfeng and Monkey Kongxu both widened their eyes in disbelief, their faces full of incredulity!

Li Cheng put away the shovel and, clutching the multicolored pearl, leaped out of the deep pit to examine it closely.

This pearl was about the size of the glass marbles he played with as a child but was incredibly heavy, easily weighing a million pounds.

“Containing pure energies of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth… Eh? Do you know the story behind this pearl?”

As Li Cheng spoke, he saw the shocked faces of the monkey and Elder Qingfeng.

“The Five Elements Meridian Pearl!”

Both exclaimed in unison.

Regaining his composure, Elder Qingfeng took a deep breath before speaking, “Benefactor, this is a supreme treasure formed by the Five Elements Great Emperor from his own bloodline before his departure!”

“Right, the Five Elements Great Emperor tossed it aside casually, saying that it would stay in this world and that the future generation to obtain it could create a powerhouse not inferior to him,” the monkey added.

Li Cheng pondered, “Formed from his bloodline, which means that only a member of the Elf Tribe could refine it!”

Elder Qingfeng nodded, “Correct, and moreover, I fear it requires an elf with all five elemental attributes.”

Monkey Kongxu laughed, “Heh, an elf with more than two attributes is called worthless by you guys, so five? Wouldn’t that be even more useless?”

Elder Qingfeng suddenly glared at Monkey Kongxu, “Watch your mouth. Didn’t the Five Elements Great Emperor possess all five elements?”

“Uh? That was an exception, okay? How many elves with five attributes have emerged since the Great Emperor’s time, but who has achieved anything?” the monkey countered.

It was indeed the truth, especially since the departure of the Five Elements Great Emperor, there had been many intermarriages within the Five Elements Elf Tribe, indeed birthing many elves with all five elements.

But those were the least talented.

Li Cheng stored the Five Elements Meridian Pearl, “Enough squabbling; when we find the right little elf, this will be my gift to you. But you must keep it a secret!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Qingfeng was overjoyed. He was even eager to send a transmission to all the clans, gathering all the elves with five attributes for Li Cheng to carefully choose from.

But since Li Cheng said to keep it a secret, he naturally didn’t dare to do so.

“With the Five Elements Meridian Pearl, the Inheritance Stele is as good as ours, Brother Li, congratulations!” the monkey said with a grin.

Indeed, if this pearl was handed over to the Five Elements Elf Tribe, they would definitely exchange it for a large number of treasures, including the Inheritance Stele.

But it could also likely lead to a great uproar, because whichever clan acquired this item, it would have the potential to create an existence not inferior to the Five Elements Great Emperor.

Which clan wouldn’t want it?

Li Cheng mentioned keeping it a secret because he anticipated this reaction, so he planned to take on disciples first. That way, no one would be fighting over it. “Benefactor, shall we return to the Wood Elf Clan first? Currently, there are over a dozen young members in our tribe with five attributes,” Elder Qingfeng said, rotating his eyes expectantly.

Li Cheng shook his head helplessly, “Elder, I’ve already used my Immortal Sense to check, and there’s no one in the Wood Elf Clan with a destiny linked to mine. Let’s keep looking!”

Elder Qingfeng sighed, “Fate is truly indescribable!”

He knew that cultivators valued fate deeply, but in reality, it was an elusive thing.

But on second thought, since the Five Elements Elf Tribe was united as one, no matter which clan’s member caught Li Cheng’s eye and received the Five Elements Meridian Pearl, it would be a blessing for all five clans.

With this in mind, Elder Qingfeng set his mind at ease and smiled, “The Fire Elf Clan is the closest from here, shall we go there first?”

Hold on, there’s one more thing,” Li Cheng said, surveying the surroundings.
