Chengta Tower?
Li Cheng glanced at Feng Wanli with disdain. “You’d better keep quiet!” Chengta Tower? A tower forged by Li Cheng? Am I really that flashy?
“Two characters aren’t good, let’s go with three, call it Li Cheng Tower; it’s perfectly normal to name something you’re proud of after yourself!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said.
Li Cheng looked at Immortal Emperor Tianyuan speechlessly; sure enough, this guy’s Tianyuan Nine Techniques were named after himself, no wonder he would suggest that.
But Li Cheng wasn’t that ostentatious and casually said, “The name has already been decided. It has seven layers, so it will be called the Seven Mystery Tower.” “Seven Mystery Tower? This overlaps with our sect’s Universe Mystery Tower by two characters. That’s not suitable!” Feng Wanli said.
“Yeah, it’s too hasty!” Qin Wuhun echoed.
Li Cheng frowned slightly. “Then how about the Six Paths Tower?”
It contained six kinds of Laws, although they varied in amount, but the name was quite fitting.
“That won’t do, those who don’t know might think it belongs to those bald donkeys in the West!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan objected.
Li Cheng, at a loss for words, said, “It will be called the Seven Mystery Tower, no need to overthink it. Anyway, the main task is to open Tianyuan City now!” Truth be told, Li Cheng was really not satisfied with this Seven Mystery Tower! But having the tower at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was indeed a great help to the sect.
So Li Cheng had decided to place it halfway up the Eighteenth Peak, allowing anyone who wanted to enter to do so, thereby contributing to the sect’s strength.
Once he had comprehended more Laws, he would refine a better tower with more features, one he could carry with him.
By then, many people had rushed over, only to be blocked by the Space Law activated by Li Cheng, unable to get close or see what was happening here.
So it was better to open Tianyuan City quickly, making everyone think that the phenomenon signaling the birth of an Immortal Artifact was caused by Tianyuan City, especially since Tianyuan City was a mid-grade Immortal Artifact itself.
“Open Tianyuan City? It’s about time. Let’s begin!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said.
Qin Wuhun and Feng Wanli’s eyes suddenly lit up; they had been waiting for a long time!
Li Cheng nodded. “There’s really nothing useful for me?”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan glanced at the Seven Mystery Tower. “In front of it, everything in Tianyuan City pales in comparison. Instead of wasting your time wandering around in there, you’d better cultivate inside the tower.”
Li Cheng shrugged. “I’ve been looking forward to Tianyuan City for a while, and even if there’s nothing useful for me, I’d like to take a look and appreciate the masterpiece of the ancients.”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan stared at Li Cheng speechlessly and after a few seconds, he said, “Do as you wish!”
As his voice fell, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan waved his hand, and instantly, the celestial might flooded across Zhongnan Yin-Yang Range, with walls emitting a faint golden light starting to emerge from the center of the Yin- Yang Range.
At this moment, everyone was boiling with excitement, swiftly flocking to the edges of the Zhongnan Yin-Yang Range, focusing intently on the changes ahead.
“An Immortal Artifact is born; Tianyuan City appears; there must be Immortal Artifacts within this city!”
“This is a city left by an Immortal Emperor; how could there not be Immortal Artifacts? Getting just one would make one’s fortune!”
The crowd began to (boil/surge), and Li Cheng looked into the distance, then turned to Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, “Senior, please take care of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s mouth twitched. “Take care of it how? Leave the good stuff for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect? The path of cultivation values destiny, what use is a good thing to someone with no destiny?”
Li Cheng really wanted to say, what I can’t use I can sell! But he held back and instead smiled, “Senior makes a good point, who knows how many Immortal Artifacts are inside!”
“Don’t get any wrong ideas, having more Immortal Artifacts isn’t necessarily better. Whether for a power or an individual, possessing too many Immortal Artifacts will only invite endless trouble,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said helplessly.
“What the senior says is very true. There was once a Ten Thousand Immortals Sect in the Eastern Region that owned too many Immortal Artifacts and was besieged by almost half of the Eastern Region. In the end, it was destroyed!” Qin Wuhun agreed.
Li Cheng simply shut his mouth. Fine, he would say no more.
By now, the city walls had fully appeared, and everyone looked on from mid-air to see neat and orderly empty streets under the grand array, filled with an ancient aura.
As the city gates slowly opened, countless cultivators jostled and rushed in!
The disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Sect also dispersed in the crowd, entering the city and scattering in search of opportunities.
Before long, some people ran out of the shops on both sides of the streets with excited expressions, clearly having found exceptionally satisfying treasures. “Senior, what have you placed in those shops?” Li Cheng inquired.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shook his head. “You name it; they’ve got it!”
Li Cheng felt that he might as well have asked nothing. But watching so many people searching around and numerous battles already breaking out, he felt quite strange.
It was as if he had become a behind-the-scenes boss, watching the younger generation fight amongst themselves.
Not to mention, it actually seemed quite interesting.
Suddenly, Li Cheng began to understand why many top-level existences might deliberately open a Secret Land, letting the younger generation scramble for treasures while secretly watching everything from behind.
“Senior, may we go in and take a look?” Feng Wanli couldn’t hold back any longer and asked. Qin Wuhun also looked expectant.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded slightly, to the great delight of the two who couldn’t wait to fly towards the city gate.
At this moment, Li Cheng shifted his gaze eastward. “Two Golden Immortals are coming, probably from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave!”
He hadn’t seen these two individuals at the Devil Abyss last time, but of the caliber of beings that the Ten Thousand Evils Cave could dispatch casually. “The people from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave are eager to find the Grand Zun’s son; they probably couldn’t guess even if they racked their brains that in fact, it’s the Grand Zun’s daughter, right?” Li Cheng suddenly thought.
It was good that they came. He could wait for them to leave and then follow them stealthily with Ling Xi, which would lead him quickly to the Underworld Dungeon.
For now, he only hoped that these two Golden Immortals wouldn’t kill anyone in Tianyuan City.
Thinking this, Li Cheng quietly prepared, ready to strike and kill them with his bow if they showed a killing intent!
Sure enough, the two Golden Immortals arrived and hid their figures, sneaking into Tianyuan City and heading straight for the center.
They had no idea that Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan were watching them.
“Isn’t this the Immortal City left behind by Immortal Emperor Tianyuan? Shouldn’t we look around for some treasures?” one of them whispered.
“The matter at hand is more important. Let’s get what the Evil Master needs first!”
The conversation of the two made Immortal Emperor Tianyuan narrow his eyes slightly. “The Evil Master? So it was him! How shameless!”
Li Cheng noticed the expression on Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s face and asked curiously, “Senior, what’s going on?”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan waved his hand. “Just watch, and don’t alarm them!”
It wasn’t long before the two entered a mansion at the city’s center and came out carrying a statue.
Li Cheng grew more curious. Why not place the statue in a Storage Ring to take it away? Wiry carry it instead?
That statue didn’t appear to be anything special, just a life-sized statue of a meditating person.
If there was anything unique about it, it was that the statue seemed lifelike.
But anything that would interest the Evil Master couldn’t be ordinary. Li Cheng looked to Immortal Emperor Tianyuan curiously, “Senior, is there something significant about that statue?”
