Chapter 294: Chapter 270 Is a Cup of Tea Time Enough? _1
[Disciple Yun Tianqiong has reaped great rewards, granting 3,415 opportunities for Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Ling Xi has also reaped great rewards, granting 3,520 opportunities for Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Qi Jingtian has reaped great rewards, granting 1,258 opportunities for Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Lei Yuan has reaped great rewards, granting 712 opportunities for Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Yan Yao has reaped great rewards, granting 3,485 opportunities for Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Qing Yun has reaped great rewards, granting 2,998 opportunities for Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Gu Bikong has reaped great rewards, granting 2,974 opportunities for Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Gu Biyue has reaped great rewards, granting 3,225 opportunities for Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Jiang Fan has reaped great rewards, granting 3,017 opportunities for Enlightenment.]
[Disciple Billion has reaped great rewards, granting 610 opportunities for Enlightenment.]
[Remaining opportunities for Enlightenment: 25,444 times.]
A series of prompt tones rang out, and Li Cheng felt emotional in his heart. After this parting, he did not know how many years would pass before he could receive Enlightenment rewards from his ten disciples again.
After all, separated by a realm, the system could not detect the disciples’ gains. He could only wait for them to ascend to the Divine Realm to receive the rewards.
In the Divine Realm, he feared he would have to start the cycle of taking in disciples once more.
As he contemplated, his divine body and divine power completely transformed. A brilliant burst of light appeared before Li Cheng’s eyes, which was too dazzling to look at.
At the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, numerous cultivators stared intently at the sky, only to see a burst of brilliant light exploding then swiftly contracting, and in the blink of an eye, it vanished, along with Li Cheng.
“Little Uncle-Master has ascended!” the higher-ups murmured to themselves.
Back then, everyone pleaded with Little Uncle-Master to ascend to the Immortal World, but he was reluctant. Thankfully, he didn’t ascend, which allowed the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to rise swiftly.
Now, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect has reached its peak, becoming the zenith of the Kunlun Immortal Realm. Little Uncle-Master has thus fulfilled his achievements and retired, ascending to the Divine Realm!
“One person ascends, and all under heaven celebrates. The entire Kunlun Immortal Realm’s Order of Heaven and Earth has become several times more active, perhaps lasting for hundreds of years. In the future, the Kunlun Immortal Realm will surely produce many talented individuals.” The Five Elements Great Emperor spoke, his tone as chillingly clear as ever.
Grand Venerable Bai Jie nodded, “The biggest beneficiary is the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Look inside the Three Talents Formation. At this moment, countless Immortal Elixirs have been produced, centering on the Eighteenth Peak, and the concentration of Immortal Qi has increased by far too much.” “The ancient battlefield has also opened. Ling Xi is going, and surely you will secretly follow, right? Together?” the Five Elements Great Emperor said again.
Grand Venerable Bai Jie smiled ambiguously without committing to an answer, shifting his gaze to the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and the Mole, “They are Divine Beasts; they can be taken to the Divine Realm. Did Li Cheng not know about this?”
When the burst of brilliant light before Li Cheng’s eyes dissipated, he found himself in the midst of a plain!
Extending his Divine Sense, Li Cheng was astonished to discover that he could only sense a hundred million miles!
Within this hundred million miles, there were only low-lying grasses on the ground, without a single insect or bird in sight!
“This… is somewhat strange!”
Such a vast range devoid of life was contrary to common sense.
“The Order of Heaven and Earth in the Divine Realm is ten thousand and eight hundred times that of the Lower World. Indeed, it’s true; the suppression on all aspects is too strong. I need to adapt first.”
Before ascending, Li Cheng’s Divine Sense could investigate within hundreds of billions of miles, but once he ascended, it was reduced to only a hundred million miles, making it somewhat difficult for him to adapt at the moment.
Moreover, the suppression on his body was also extreme. At present, he could only manage to fly. As for teleporting and the like, he did not know at what realm he could achieve that.
After a brief period of adaptation, Li Cheng chose the north and walked through the air in that direction.
It was a habit formed in the Kunlun Realm. The Heavenly Mechanism Sect was located to the south, and he generally had to head north for various matters.
As he flew, Li Cheng examined the Tripod.
He could not bring objects from the Immortal Realm with him during ascension. Hence, Li Cheng had given everything to his disciples. At that moment, he did not even have a storage ring and used the broken Tripod as a substitute for a storage item.
Inside the Tripod were the White Tiger Essence Blood, Fell Dragon Grass, and two Confucian Cultivator Divine Bones—truly destitute. Even his clothes were formed by condensing divine power.
“This is not much of an issue, but being all alone is somewhat unfamiliar!”
In the past, the Heaven God State, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, and the Mole accompanied him, and he could chat at any time. Now, he was utterly alone.
Contemplating, Li Cheng slightly furrowed his brow. “The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and the Mole are Divine Beasts; they should be able to come to the Divine Realm, right?”
Divine Beasts, which were meant to exist in the Divine Realm, could ascend even if their Cultivation wasn’t at the God Realm. Their bloodline still mattered, and the Order of Heaven and Earth should not obstruct them.
Li Cheng suddenly felt that he might have missed a great opportunity. If he could have brought them with him, he would not only have been less lonely, but with the Mole’s abilities, he could have even made a fortune!
Unfortunately, he was already in the Divine Realm…
Li Cheng shook his head helplessly and sped up his pace, calling out, “System, come out and chat!”
[Detected that the host is in the Divine Realm. System upgrade preparation in progress!]
[Upgrade starting, estimated completion in thirty days. During this period, the system cannot respond to the host or use Enlightenment opportunities.]
Li Cheng found it incredulous, “Alright, let’s see what tricks you can pull off with version 2.0.”
Before long, a village appeared in the distance, with smoke curling up from its chimneys.
The village only had just over forty households, less than two hundred people. Yet, to Li Cheng’s surprise, one of the villagers’ Cultivation was not weaker than his own, also at the Heaven God State!
Li Cheng inwardly clicked his tongue. This was the Divine Realm—where even a small village contained a Heaven God.
Li Cheng landed about ten miles outside the village and proceeded on foot towards it.
At the village entrance, an elder with a solemn face was waiting, and hidden behind fences on both sides were several dozen sturdy young men, armed with various weapons, all prepared for battle.
“Seems like life is not easy for this little village,” Li Cheng mused silently.
Normally, if a stranger passed by, there wouldn’t be such a battle-ready reception, indicating that they were accustomed to facing plundering and used to such a defensive stance towards newcomers.
