Chapter 354: Chapter 299 Chaos Divine Turtle_2
“`
Although unable to further comprehend the Law, Li Cheng could sense that, with sixty-nine million threads of Space Law, he already had the ability to open the world within that tortoise shell.
Approaching the tortoise shell, Li Cheng’s palm surged with Space Law, gradually synchronizing with the Space Law on the shell. Following that, Li Cheng seized the opportunity to extract some Space Law and condensed it into a Teleportation Gate.
“Done?” Ao Jiugai flew over, his eyes filled with expectation.
“I’ll go in first to take a look.”
Li Cheng said, stepping into the Teleportation Gate.
The next second, Li Cheng appeared in the sky above that continent, feeling that the spatial oppression here was far less than in the Divine Realm but incomparable to the Immortal World.
The air was tinged with Divine Qi not much different from the Divine Realm; the vegetation on the continent below thrived, with numerous Divine Medicines growing among it, yet there were no Demon Beasts or the like.
Releasing his Divine Sense, Li Cheng was stunned to find that here, his Divine Sense could envelop the entire continent which spanned a hundred million miles!
Countless Divine Medicines had not developed Spiritual Wisdom.
“It’s equivalent to a medicinal field, but could this continent have been moved here from somewhere in the Divine Realm?” Li Cheng examined the area and concluded.
“Blunt Empty Residence, paired with this continent, has indeed turned it into a backyard.”
Li Cheng shook his head with a smile and left the place.
“How is it?” As soon as he came out, Ao Jiugai eagerly asked.
Li Cheng shared the situation, and Ao Jiugai’s anticipation faded, “Let’s consider it a backyard then. In the future, they can go there to relax their minds and look for Divine Medicines and such.”
Li Cheng nodded, “I see Blunt Empty Residence has expanded quite a bit, didn’t dig up anything?”
“Nothing, it’s only been a little over three years. Not finding anything is also good, better than digging up a scare.”
Li Cheng chuckled, agreeing that it was better not to dig up something frightening.
“I will be going out first, senior, please watch over them for me. If there’s nothing pressing, they can come here to comprehend Space Law.”
After instructing, Li Cheng left the Blunt Empty Residence.
In his dwelling, the Formation remained intact, untouched and untraced. Over thirty years in the Blunt Empty Residence equated to just over a hundred days in the outside world.
Before entering, he was merely at the mid-stage of the Heaven God, but now he had reached the early stage of the True God Realm. If anyone were to ask, it would be difficult to explain.
But he knew few people and doubted anyone would inquire.
Having nothing better to do, Li Cheng left his room and began practicing the Xuanwu Seal in the courtyard.
Once it was cultivated, the Four Spirits Seal would be complete.
Not exactly complete, since the Azure Dragon Seal was not cultivated with Azure Dragon Essence Blood but with Ao Jiugai’s Divine Dragon Essence Blood, it couldn’t be considered a true Azure Dragon Seal.
A few days passed, and the Xuanwu Seal was successfully cultivated, but like the Vermilion Seal, due to insufficient essence blood, both seals were too ethereal to exert their full strength.
Li Cheng activated the four seals at once, and according to the records of the Demon Suppressing Four Spirits Seal, combining the four would unleash their strongest power.
But after several tries, they simply couldn’t merge together.
“Perhaps it’s because of the Azure Dragon Seal.” Li Cheng mused silently.
Even if not fully cultivated to completion, the combined strength of the four seals was boundless. It seemed he still needed to find the Azure Dragon Essence Blood.
Wushuang and Lianqing had both issued tasks to help him find the Four Spirits Essence Blood, but so far there was no news.
After pondering for a moment, Li Cheng took out the Demon Suppression Order and sent a message to Lianqing, inquiring about the status of the Four Spirits Essence Blood.
“Face to face!” Lianqing replied with just two words.
Clearly, Lianqing had news about the Four Spirits Essence Blood!
At the Demon Suppressing Department, Li Cheng left for the outer city. It had been many years since he acquainted with Lianqing, yet he had never stayed long at her mansion.
Arriving at Lianqing’s residence, he saw her standing by the lake, radiant and with an indistinct smile gracing her usually cold face.
“Quite rare!” Li Cheng thought to himself, having never seen her with such an expression before.
When Lianqing saw Li Cheng approaching, the faint smile on her face disappeared and she said, “You know about Xuankong Domain, right?”
Li Cheng nodded, “Out of the one hundred and eight mansions in the Divine Realm, we reside in Land Puppet Mansion, which rules over one hundred and eight domains including our Xuankong Domain that honors the Xuankong Divine Dynasty.”
Lianqing nodded, “Our Kongqian Heaven Dynasty is but a subsidiary of the Xuankong Divine Dynasty, and now, it’s time for the Hundred Dynasties Meeting.”
“`
Li Cheng had read the records in the Kongqian Library: the Hundred Dynasties Meeting was organized by the Xuankong Divine Dynasty, and all Divine Dynasties would send people to participate.
The contents of the Hundred Dynasties Meeting were rich, including various competitions, exchanges, and trades, with everything that one could expect.
The most eye-catching events were undoubtedly the arena battles and the Pill Artifact Array challenges.
It seemed no matter where one went, these four subjects were eternal topics.
“The Hundred Dynasties Meeting shouldn’t have much to do with the Demon-suppressing Envoy, right? At most, it’s just to prevent Evil Demons from mixing in and causing trouble,” Li Cheng said skeptically. Why bring up the Hundred Dynasties Meeting?
Kong Lianqing shook her head, “Demon-suppressing Envoy is just an identity.”
Li Cheng understood Kong Lianqing’s meaning; it seemed that many Demon-suppressing Envoys would attend the Hundred Dynasties Meeting under different identities.
“Does the Hundred Dynasties Meeting feature the Four Spirits Essence Blood?” Li Cheng looked towards Kong Lianqing.
“As the lord of the Xuankong Domain, the Xuankong Divine Dynasty has countless resources. I have learned that they possess the Four Spirits Essence Blood, and each type is plentiful, all stored within their treasury.”
“And among the rewards of the Hundred Dynasties Meeting is the opportunity to enter the treasury and choose a treasure.”
Li Cheng realized that this meant he should participate in the Hundred Dynasties Meeting to win a chance to enter the treasury, and naturally, he could obtain the Four Spirits Essence Blood.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Cheng shook his head, “Forget it, I’m too lazy to compete for it. The Four Spirits Essence Blood doesn’t really matter much. Let’s just leave it to fate.”
Kong Lianqing was stunned and looked at Li Cheng with some disbelief. After a few seconds of silence, she finally said, “The Four Spirit Seal is so powerful, don’t you want to cultivate it to completion as soon as possible?”
Li Cheng shrugged, “Leave it to fate!”
Kong Lianqing fell silent, seemingly considering how to persuade Li Cheng to participate.
“Then let’s forget about the Hundred Dynasties Meeting,” Kong Lianqing said after a while, sounding resigned.
Pausing, Kong Lianqing’s expression turned playful, “After the Hundred Dynasties Meeting, there’s the even more eye-catching Demon Suppression Contest, and you won’t be able to hide from that.”
Li Cheng cleared his throat and nodded slightly, “Indeed.”
The Demon Suppression Contest was a clash between Demon-suppressing Envoys of the various Divine Dynasties, also orchestrated by the Xuankong Divine Dynasty.
Everyone knew that a Demon-suppressing Envoy represented the supreme talents of the world, thus making the Demon Suppression Contest a globally anticipated event.
The Demon-suppressing Department of the Xuankong Divine Dynasty acted as a superior authority to the Demon-suppressing Departments of all Divine Dynasties. They led the grand event, which every Demon-suppressing Envoy had to attend, and they did so anonymously.
Historically, the Demon-suppressing Department went to great lengths to protect the identities of the Demon-suppressing Envoys, mostly to prevent their real identities from being revealed. So, even in such a grand event, the tradition was to keep the identities of the Demon-suppressing Envoys confidential.
Even if one won first place, as long as the individual did not want it to be known, their true identity would remain a secret.
Those who voluntarily disclosed their identities, while being worshipped by countless Cultivators, also exposed themselves to the eyes of Evil Demons and often did not live for long.
“If you can’t escape from the Demon Suppression Contest, why not just participate in the Hundred Dynasties Meeting as well? With your skill in Pill Artifact Array, it should be easy to secure a top position, right?”
Li Cheng was about to shake his head but then suddenly remembered his thoughts before ascending to the Divine Realm. He had decided to strive for success in the Divine Realm, so why was he now reluctant to even compete?
“As an Ascender, you must have senior and junior fellow Ascenders who have also ascended to the Divine Realm, right? If you make a name for yourself, it will be easier for them to find you,” Kong Lianqing said, seeing that Li Cheng was pondering something.
Li Cheng came back to his senses and nodded, “Then let’s participate! But Miss Kong, your insistence isn’t only because of the Four Spirits Essence Blood, right?”
Kong Lianqing’s expression flickered and she finally nodded with a bitter smile, admitting frankly, “That’s right, I have a personal interest, hoping you’ll join the Hundred Dynasties Meeting—it’s akin to asking you to save me.”
Li Cheng shrugged, “Then why not say it directly? Beating around the bush isn’t your style.”
Kong Lianqing gave a bitter smile, indeed, she smiled!
Although the smile was very bitter.
Sighing, Kong Lianqing said, “I didn’t say it directly because it involves my father, and I don’t wish to acknowledge him.”
Li Cheng pondered, not prying further, and changed the subject, “Everyone has their own difficult scripture to recite, better left unspoken!”
Kong Lianqing looked at Li Cheng, “What is your difficult verse?”
Li Cheng smiled, “At least you know who your father is, you just choose not to recognize each other. I, on the other hand, don’t even know who my parents are.”
In both his lives, he had no memories of his parents. Although Li Cheng never spoke of it, it remained a knot in his heart.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Cheng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head!
At that moment, something in his Divine Soul seemed to be struggling to break free!
