Chapter 168 Is This a Divine Artifact?_2

Translator: 549690339 |

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s words were thick with excitement, even exhilaration!

Li Cheng was curious. The spherical space barrier must encase a space similar to a Secret Land, and since the barrier was completely sealed, there was no way to determine the actual size of the space within.

But Immortal Emperor Tianyuan seemed to know its origin.

“Senior, do you know its history?” Li Cheng asked.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered, then laughed, “Trust me, just find a way to take it with you, and that’s it!”

He was reluctant to elaborate, uncertain whether he was unsure of the object’s origin or worried that divulging its secrets might deter Li Cheng from taking it.

Monkey Kongxu and the others studied the object for a moment but couldn’t make heads or tails of it, so they all turned their gazes to Li Cheng.

“Brother, you are adept in the power of space, can you tell what it is?” Monkey Kongxu asked.

Li Cheng shook his head, “I’m not sure, according to the spatial veins inside it feels like a Secret Land, but this space barrier is too strong to investigate the specifics.”

This was the truth.

Monkey Kongxu was deep in thought, “I too can sense that this might be a Secret Land, but the space barriers of ordinary Secret Lands are extremely weak, whereas this one is unbreakable. Could it be left by our clan’s ancestors?”

Elder Qingfeng was the first to disagree, “That’s impossible. Our tribes all have Secret Lands left by Immortal Emperor realm seniors, and those Secret Lands exist in reliance on the spatial veins of the Kunlun Realm, but this one has materialized. Who could create such a Secret Land?”

“That’s why I suspect something is sealed inside the space barrier, and it might be something terrifying!” Elder Qingfeng declared confidently.

Monkey Kongxu scratched his head, “What Elder Qingfeng says makes sense.” “Exactly, if it were a treasure, why would our ancestor lock it up tight? There must have been clues left for us to retrieve it,” Shan Qian said.

“I think so too, this thing being hidden here, if not for the unfilial Monkey Kongxu here to desecrate graves, it might never have been discovered. Therefore, there’s only one explanation: the ancestor didn’t want us to find it,” Yanqing said.

Monkey Kongxu glared fiercely at Yanqing, and with a flip of his hand, he took out the Ruyi Jingu Stick and placed it on his shoulder, “Mind how you speak, eh!”

Tribe Chief Yan Qing shrugged, “The truth isn’t always pleasing to the ear!”

“Enough, Monkey, they’re right; it’s definitely not a treasure inside. Let’s figure out a way to dispose of it,” Mingyue said.

The Monkey tapped the space barrier with the Golden Cudgel, then said helplessly, “How do we dispose of it? I’ve tried, and it won’t budge. We can’t just leave it here, can we?”

“Are you scared? Heh,” Yanqing said with disdain.

The Monkey’s eyes flared again, “Yanqing, I’ve tolerated you for a long time. Are you asking for a beating?”

“With you? Looking for abuse,” Yanqing replied with a sneer.

“Enough, what are you quarreling for?” Elder Qingfeng interrupted the two’s bickering, his gaze turning to Li Cheng, “Benefactor possesses the Formation legacy of a great emperor, surely you have a suitable Formation to take it, right?”

“You mean for me to take it away?” Li Cheng asked.

“Yes, not even the space barriers of Secret Lands constructed by Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses could possess such strength. I’m afraid only Senior Bai Jie can clarify this mystery, so we’d trouble Benefactor to take it away,” Clan Leader Qingfeng said.

Monkey Kongxu nodded in agreement, glanced at Ling Xi, then said, “Makes sense, with Senior Bai Jie intervening, whatever great terror inside surely won’t cause any trouble.”

Li Cheng smiled, these fellows sounded so convincing he almost believed them himself.

But could there really be a great terror inside? Not necessarily.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had also suggested that he should find a way to take it with him; now the faction leaders seemed unlikely to stop him. Yet if Monkey Kongxu, with the strength of the Golden Immortal Realm, couldn’t move it, how was he supposed to take it away?

Using a formation to bear the load, the weight will not reduce.

After pondering for a moment, Li Cheng decided it might be better to try with his domain.

If he were to use the Earth Rules and Space Law against it, perhaps he might be able to take it with him.

Thinking thus, Li Cheng activated his domain using the Earth Rules and Space Law, enveloping it, but unexpectedly, the object didn’t budge.

“Communicate with it with your heart, refine it; otherwise, even an ordinary Immortal Emperor would have difficulty moving it,” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan transmitted.

Li Cheng was astonished. Could this even be refined?

But Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan said no more, and Li Cheng had no choice but to follow the instruction.

Sitting cross-legged before this spherical space barrier, Li Cheng covered it with his Immortal Sense, simultaneously invoking all laws to wrap around it, finely sensing everything.

“Let’s go out first, don’t disturb the Benefactor.”

Elder Qingfeng led the way out, and everyone followed in unison.

In an instant, the place had become extremely quiet.

“Enlightenment!”

Li Cheng directly used a count of Enlightenment, and suddenly a mysterious connection formed between him and the spherical space barrier.

“He’s enlightened? Lucky we left, otherwise if we disturbed the Benefactor’s Enlightenment, that would have been a grave mistake!”

Once outside, Clan Leader Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and joked.

“Come to my Water Curtain Cave for a visit, hehe, Brother Li mentioned the Water Curtain Cave last time, so I specially created one, come on!” Monkey Kongxu laughed and led the group away.

Beneath the graveyard, Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan inwardly marveled as he saw Li Cheng, in a state of Enlightenment, communicating with the spherical space barrier, which had shrunk from ten meters in diameter to nine meters.

With each moment, it was slowly shrinking!

Li Cheng awoke from his state of Enlightenment and looked at the one-meter diameter sphere in front of him, radiating dreamlike colors. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Senior Tian Yuan, it’s only been refined initially, but what’s strange is that I still cannot sense its interior!”

“That’s normal. Even if you maintained the state of Enlightenment, with your current cultivation, you couldn’t possibly refine it completely, and without complete refining, you naturally cannot sense the inside,” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan explained.

Li Cheng was puzzled, “What exactly is it?”

Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan smiled, “In the history of the Kunlun Realm, there have been beings who transcended Immortal Emperors, known as Deities, and the Deities, they have the power to construct a Divine World within their bodies.”

“Are you saying, this is a Divine World left by a Deity?” Li Cheng raised an eyebrow.

“What do you think?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan smiled.

However, Li Cheng shook his head, a Divine World left by a Deity, and he was able to refine it initially?

Seeing Li Cheng’s confusion, Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan continued, “It’s very likely that this is indeed a Divine World, but it was crafted into an artifact, which is why you could refine it initially.”

Li Cheng was shocked, “Turn a Divine World created by a Deity into an artifact? Wouldn’t only a Deity be able to do that? Could this be a Divine Artifact?”

Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan looked into the distance, “Remember the dilapidated city we saw on the way in?”

“Of course, according to the Five Elements Elf Tribe, that dilapidated city appeared out of nowhere. It’s very possible it was the result of a peerless powerhouse’s battle that opened a space crack, leading the city to come through it,” Li Cheng nodded.

“You mean, this object came in the same way?”
