The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle had been to the ancient battlefield, and this news truly took both Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan by surprise. “Where?” Both of them asked in unison.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle hurriedly shook its head, then pointed outside, “I’ve always lived in this chaotic region, and naturally, the ancient battlefield is here, but its entrance is not fixed at all, changing positions all the time. It’s simply impossible to locate; one can only rely on luck.”
What it said was indeed the truth. If it were that easy to find, the ancient battlefield wouldn’t have become the stuff of legends.
“What’s it like inside?” Li Cheng asked curiously.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle sighed, “A place of death! Not a blade of grass grows, and it’s filled with extremely terrifying fluctuations of power everywhere!”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan smiled, “You’re only seeing a part of the picture, aren’t you? I’ve heard that there are countless Immortal Elixirs inside the ancient battlefield, even the legendary Divine Medicines!”
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle’s expression turned awkward as it chuckled, “Perhaps, the ancient battlefield is vast, and I was only able to explore a few hundred li before getting blasted out by an extremely powerful force. I also guess that not all places there are barren.”
“That’s like saying nothing at all… I just remembered, the Dead Spirits that appeared in Blunt Empty City, could they have come from the ancient battlefield?” Li Cheng said.
At first, everyone speculated that those Dead Spirits came from an unknown world, entering through spatial rifts here.
But it wouldn’t be abnormal for countless powerful beings who died in the ancient battlefield over billions of years to have turned into Dead Spirits.
“If that’s the case, it means that the guy who cultivated the Ten Thousand Traits Stealing the Heavenly Scripture is hiding in the ancient battlefield, which makes it troublesome,” said Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.
Li Cheng pondered for a moment before shaking his head, deciding it was something he couldn’t involve himself in, better not to think about it.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan also shook his head, contemplating that the person should know Grand Venerable Bai Jie had left the Southern Domain yet didn’t rush out of the ancient battlefield, perhaps having discovered some treasure within?
Cowering in the ancient battlefield to cultivate?
Sighing inwardly, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan returned to the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod and transmitted his voice, “When you get back to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, you should focus on refining these Immortal Stones and concentrate on your cultivation!”
“The cultivation of a Golden Immortal is utterly insignificant in front of those Mansion Masters and Territory Lords.”
Li Cheng silently nodded, “I feel the same way, and I haven’t completely refined the Fire Mysterious Realm yet. Once my cultivation enters the Daluo Golden Immortal stage, I want to try refining it with all my might.”
“It’s pointless, even as a Daluo Golden Immortal, you can’t get close to God’s Right Hand. There’s no need to take the risk; better wait for the future!”
“Just a hand, and a Daluo Golden Immortal can’t even get close?” Li Cheng frowned, somewhat disbelieving.
“Of course, did you think Deities are just a bit stronger than Immortal Emperors? You are mistaken. Trust me, in order to investigate that hand, you need to keep improving your cultivation.”
” What level of cultivation will I need?” Li Cheng asked helplessly.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan fell silent, then shook his head. “I’m not sure about the specifics. After all, you’re mastering numerous laws, so perhaps you’ll understand once your cultivation reaches a certain level.”
Li Cheng knew he had to be cautious with God’s Right Hand without adequate cultivation; he definitely shouldn’t entertain the thought of challenging it, or he wouldn’t even know how he might die.
But Li Cheng still wanted to try. If he could extract some Divine Blood from God’s Right Hand, the power it contained would surely rival countless cultivation resources.
The next day, the Space-Breaking Shuttle burst out of the space wormhole, and with the help of the Cross-domain Teleportation Array, everyone arrived at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
The Eighteenth Peak, considered the holy land of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, not to mention anything else, just the richness of the natural spiritual energy here is unparalleled in the Southern Domain.
Qingxuan sensed around and was amazed, muttering to himself, “I didn’t expect such a treasure land in the Southern Domain, I’m afraid not many places like this could be found even in the Central Continent.”
“Indeed, such rich nature’s spiritual energy… It’s the Immortal Tower that draws it here. Many Spirit Veins also converge underground, and that tower is even more powerful than the Pen of Life and Death.” The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said, licking its lips.
“Could it also be an ancient Immortal Artifact?” Qingxuan asked curiously.
Li Cheng cleared his throat, “That is the Seven Mystery Tower, and you may enter it to cultivate whenever you wish. Qing Yun, from now on you will live here. Once you’ve achieved Foundation Establishment, you will also be able to enter the tower to cultivate.”
Below the waist of the mountain, where the Seven Mystery Tower was located, the Eighteenth Peak seemed to have been contributed, with strong figures hurrying along the mountain path toward the Seven Mystery Tower from time to time.
But above the middle of the mountain, aside from the high-ranking sect members, no one dared to set foot.
Over the years, that had become an unwritten rule.
After showing Qing Yun and his family around and giving them some basic instructions, Li Cheng entered the Seven Mystery Tower.
Qing Yun and his family decided to familiarize themselves with the surroundings first, settling in a brand new courtyard next to Yun Tianqiong’s.
“These five courtyards next to us are all remarkable. Husband, look at the one next to us; the entire courtyard emits an extremely strong sword intent, and even the Sword Path Rules permeate it, indicating that its owner is a sword cultivator with a terrifying prowess in swordsmanship,” she said.
Qingxuan nodded, “The other four courtyards are also pulsing with the power of rules. It’s hard to imagine that before even becoming immortals, they have already grasped the rules. The owners of these five courtyards must be incredibly monstrous!”
The couple thought that their son, who possessed an Innate Taoist Body, was already a monster among monsters. But compared to the owners of those five courtyards, he seemed to be nothing.
“These must be the residences of the five senior brothers and sisters. Master said that they had ascended, but I didn’t dare to ask Master why he said ‘as if they had’?” said Qing Yun.
When Li Cheng said that, it was because out of the five disciples, four had ascended, and Qi Jingtian, who hadn’t ascended, had already become an immortal, and moreover, he hadn’t gone to the Immortal World.
This, Li Cheng did not tell them.
“Don’t overthink it. Judging by these five courtyards, your Master must be even more powerful than we imagined. Otherwise, how could he teach such monstrous disciples? Given time, perhaps you could also reach the heights of your five senior brothers and sisters,” Qingxuan said comfortingly.
Touched by the aura of those five people, the five courtyards were no longer ordinary. He believed that one day, under Li Cheng’s guidance, his son could achieve the same.
Qing Yun nodded heavily.
“Are you… friends of little uncle-master?”
At that moment, a voice tinged with perplexity rang out.
The family of three looked ahead and saw an old man, his body enveloped in Pill Qi, holding a broom and walking out from one of the courtyards, having clearly just finished cleaning it.
“Disciple Qing Yun, paying respects to this senior!” Qing Yun hurriedly greeted with a bow.
Anyone they encountered here was definitely not as simple as a sweeper.
The old man’s face showed even greater perplexity as he looked at the Qingxuan couple and then at Qing Yun, “An Innate Taoist Body? Could it be that little uncle-master has taken in another disciple?”
Realizing the implication, as even the Sect Master referred to his Master as little uncle-master, Qing Yun quickly said, “My teacher, Li Cheng!”
Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyebrows lifted, “Indeed! Little uncle-master has taken on another disciple!”
The latter part, though he didn’t shout loudly, was heard throughout the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
Instantly, radiant lights appeared, and all the high-ranking sect officials rushed toward this place!
” Where? Which lucky young chap has caught the eye of little uncle-master?”
Before their figures arrived, their excited voices reached first.
Li Cheng’s disciples were all extraordinary, and they were eager to find out what kind of monster this one would be.
Qing Yun felt a bit restrained and faintly sensed that his mention of ‘my teacher, Li Cheng,’ was like stirring up a hornet’s nest.
