Chapter 355: Chapter 300 Are you trying to trick someone?_1
Li Cheng’s Divine Soul suddenly stabbed with pain, as if something was about to burrow out from within.
In the depths of his soul, that unexplorable place, a painting scroll unexpectedly flew out at this moment!
“Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns!” Li Cheng raised an eyebrow.
Li Cheng had thought he had lost the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns, but as it turned out, it was in his Divine Soul all along.
However, how did it appear in that sealed space deep within his soul?
Before Li Cheng could ponder further, a fragment of memory suddenly surfaced in his mind!
This memory clearly emerged from the sealed area, brought forth by the breakout of the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns.
It was just a fleeting moment before the seal was restored; there was no time to investigate.
Li Cheng looked into this memory and saw himself standing shoulder to shoulder with a middle-aged man in a scholar’s robe. He nodded and simply said “Good” before sitting down cross-legged.
Immediately after, the scholar-robed middle-aged man placed a hand on his head. In an instant, Li Cheng felt the sensation of his soul tearing apart.
“I will wait for your return!” The affable voice of the scholar-robed man rang out, and the memory broke off there.
Li Cheng tried to recall the memory again but found he couldn’t discern the scholar-robed man’s appearance.
Yet, that figure and voice gave Li Cheng a very familiar and intimate feeling.
The memory was too brief, and Li Cheng revisited it over and over, closely examining even the surroundings at that time, but he found no useful clues—nothing but the straight, towering mountains all around.
“Who is he? He gives me a sense of familiarity and intimacy… The skeleton from back then said my soul had been divided, and it seems he was right. The last thing in this memory is the division of my soul, but why was it done?”
Li Cheng furrowed his brows, the memory was too brief to follow any trace.
Looking at the depths of his soul once more, he still couldn’t see through it, just as always.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing the changes in Li Cheng’s expression, Kong Lianqing asked with concern.
Li Cheng came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, “It’s nothing, when does the Hundred Dynasties Meeting start?”
“In ten years, the registration has already begun. Since you agree, shall I go ahead and register your name?” Kong Lianqing said.
Li Cheng nodded, “I’d appreciate that!”
When Kong Lianqing spoke of participating in the Hundred Dynasties Meeting as a way to help her, Li Cheng was curious but didn’t ask further; after all, he had already decided to participate.
Ten years was a short time to others, but to Li Cheng, it was more than ample.
In ten years, a millennium would pass in the Blunt Empty Residence; Ao Jiugai could provide ten bursts of Original Divine Qi. Although the effects of Original Divine Qi offered by him weren’t as good in the True God Realm as in the Heaven God State, ten bursts would be enough to elevate him by two or three Minor Realms.
If he were to refine some True God Pills and cultivate in the Blunt Empty Residence for a millennium, plus with the addition of Original Divine Qi, reaching the pinnacle or even completing the True God Realm was a possibility.
To cultivate to such a degree in ten years, that was Li Cheng’s pace.
Thinking this through, Li Cheng made a decision, just like that!
However, the next second, the Demon Suppression Order trembled. Li Cheng checked it and was somewhat speechless; it was Monk Wumo summoning him!
He asked Li Cheng to help him at Savage Ridge.
“Did Wushuan send you a message?” Kong Lianqing asked.
Li Cheng shook his head, “It was Monk Wumo.”
Kong Lianqing showed a look of surprise, “Monk Wumo, the Divine Monk? He’s renowned for his profound Buddhist Law and well respected by many, and you actually call him Monk Wumo?”
Li Cheng smiled; indeed, this monk had a respectable reputation out there, but deep down… he was just a smelly bald donkey.
“He’s asked me to go to Savage Ridge; it’s likely for breaking a Formation. Would you like to join?” Li Cheng said.
Kong Lianqing shook her head, “I’d rather not add to the chaos, you go. Working with him will undoubtedly bring benefits.”
She was right; during their last cooperation, he acquired an excellent Divine Vein, this time who knows what he might gain.
After parting with Kong Lianqing, Li Cheng hurried towards the Transmission Array and soon found himself in Savage City.
At Yuanlai Wine House, on the second floor by the window, Monk Wumo sat with several vegetarian dishes, eating solemnly in the style of a high monk.
Li Cheng found it amusing and recalled how vigorously the monk ate fish.
“Did you discover a gathering spot for the Demon Race this time?” Li Cheng sat across from Monk Wumo and asked.
Monk Wumo casually released a prohibition that enveloped the surrounding area, preventing eavesdropping before saying, “Amitabha! It’s not the Demon Race, but the Bone Clan—maybe even mixed with the Corpse Clan and Ghost Clan. They’re not easy to deal with.”
While speaking, Monk Wumo nibbled on a piece of vegetable, and it was then that Li Cheng noticed the monk had cast an illusion on the dish, which was clearly fish!
Ignoring Li Cheng’s astonished look, Monk Wumo continued, “Of course, the poor monk shall go to slash… enlighten them. Donor only needs to help with breaking the Formation.”
Li Cheng nodded, “I’ll do my best.”
Monk Wumo pointed at the disguised fish on the table, “Donor, while it’s hot!”
“I’m not hungry, you eat slowly, Divine Monk. By the way, are you participating in the Hundred Dynasties Meeting in ten years?” Li Cheng asked.
“The poor monk does not compete with the world, only with demons. Naturally, I won’t participate. Om mani padme hum,” Monk Wumo said.
Li Cheng smiled and nodded slightly. After all, everyone would have to face the upcoming Demon Suppressing competition after the Hundred Dynasties Meeting; it was just a matter of how the monk would disguise himself to participate.
“The Hundred Dynasties Meeting affects the rankings of the Divine Dynasty. Did the Divine Dynasty invite you to participate? It makes sense with Donor’s Array Mastery, securing a good ranking is only natural.”
Li Cheng nodded; from the moment Kong Lianqing invited him to participate, he had guessed that she was someone from the royal family.
If she was inviting him, then it could be considered an invitation from the Divine Dynasty, right?
“I’ve registered for the Pill Artifact Array and two other arts, didn’t apply for anything else. Fighting and killing is not interesting to me, and I don’t understand the other skills,” Li Cheng said.
