Chapter 421: Chapter 332 Laying Out the Formation with Divine Origin_1
Li Cheng and Er Shou looked in the direction Qi Jingtian’s gaze pointed, seeing only darkness.
Everyone was curious. What could summon the attention of a Great Demon from ancient times?
“Alright then, let’s head in that direction. Surely, we’ll come across plenty of treasures along the way!” Li Cheng said with a smile.
The Mole patted its chest confidently, “Boss, no worries. I’m on it!”
As they spoke, the land beneath their feet shrank and transformed into the shape of Qi Jingtian. The two Qi Jingtians merged into one, “Master, I’ve completed the fusion, ready to set off at any time!”
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle clicked its tongue in admiration, “Indeed, he has reached the pinnacle of the True God Realm. Impressive!”
The Heavenly Demon had been nurtured for countless years before it was born, naturally extraordinary upon its arrival.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle carried the group forward, with Li Cheng sitting cross-legged on its back, absorbing the power from the Divine Origin to enhance his cultivation. Er Shou and Qi Jingtian were responsible for hunting treasures.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed. On this journey, they had explored over a thousand continental fragments and obtained more than twenty portions of Nine Heaven’s Breathing Soil, now totaling half a meter in diameter.
Other things, such as Divine Artifacts and Divine Stones, were not in short supply, and they even obtained a branch from a Space Divine Tree.
Regrettably, they hadn’t encountered any Divine Origin.
In these past ten-plus years, Li Cheng had used the Divine Origin to raise his cultivation to the Complete stage of the Divine Emperor Realm. He spent the remaining time constructing the Divine World.
“Master, I sense that the thing calling me is very close now!”
Qi Jingtian spoke up, invigorating Er Shou’s spirit.
After flying for over ten years, they were finally arriving!
Li Cheng opened his eyes and nodded slightly. He looked toward the Mole, “Did you sense anything?”
The Mole pointed ahead, eyes flickering with shock, “I suspect I sensed wrongly, for there appears to be the presence of nine Divine Origins ahead!”
That is to say, there were nine Divine Origins ahead!
Qi Jingtian looked in the direction the Mole pointed and said, “The direction Elder Tu is pointing in is also where I feel the calling from!”
The group looked at each other as the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle chuckled. “Looks like we’ve found a treasure trove!”
Nine Divine Origins—if they got their hands on them, they could cultivate nine Pseudo Divine Emperors!
Full of hope, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle sped up, and after a while, a speck of light appeared in the distance.
As they drew closer, Li Cheng saw clearly that it was a Divine Palace shrouded in a light barrier!
Stopping in front of the light barrier, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Divine Palace was so colossal that they seemed like ants before it!
The Divine Palace’s plaque was clearly crafted from the main trunk of the World Divine Tree, inscribed with: Big Demon Hall!
“It’s left by a Great Demon from ancient times, no wonder you felt the summons. This Big Demon Hall is surely intended for a Heavenly Demon,” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said to Qi Jingtian with a click of its tongue.
Qi Jingtian’s eyes brimmed with sadness. “This senior… has fallen.”
Li Cheng patted Qi Jingtian on the arm, “Everything in the heavens and earth has its day of decline. Be open-minded. Try and see if you can enter. If not, your master will find a way to break the Formation.”
The light barrier shielding the Divine Palace was indeed a Formation.
This Formation wasn’t simple, arranged with nine Divine Origins as its base. Even a Divine Emperor would be unable to forcefully break through.
But it wouldn’t stump Li Cheng—it would just cost him some more Enlightenment attempts.
Qi Jingtian nodded and slowly reached out to touch the light barrier.
The moment his hand touched the barrier, his figure was instantly pulled inside!
The Mole’s eyes lit up. It too attempted to touch it, but the result was a swift rebuff, hurled back. Fortunately, the Formation did not launch an attack, or the Mole certainly would have been finished.
“Looks like they don’t want us to enter,” the Mole returned, chuckling dryly.
“Master, I’ll go in and take a look!” Qi Jingtian said from within the light barrier.
Li Cheng nodded and watched Qi Jingtian enter the hall before starting to examine the Formation.
Constructed with Divine Origins, if one rashly attempted to break the Formation, it would trigger an assault from the nine Divine Origins—probably even a Divine Emperor wouldn’t dare to do so.
With Li Cheng’s Complete Divine Emperor Realm cultivation, he naturally did not harbor any rash thoughts of breaking the Formation. Instead, he studied it closely.
After observing for several hours, Li Cheng had a slight breakthrough and directly employed Enlightenment.
In the state of Enlightenment, the world before him turned into countless intertwining Array Patterns. The nine Divine Origins, connected by Array Patterns, resembled nine blazing suns.
Oddly enough, these Formations actually drew out the Law powers from within the Divine Origins. Nine Complete Laws converged within the Formation, awe-inspiring to behold.
He had still underestimated the strength of this Formation.
Before he knew it, another ten years had passed. Li Cheng had understood the great Formation completely after a decade of Enlightenment and, with the aid of its Laws, attained seven billion strands in the Laws of Time, Space, Fire, and Earth.
He had become a Master of four Laws!
Finally, Qi Jingtian emerged from the hall!
The Mole abruptly looked up, “He… He’s reached the Divine Monarch Realm!”
“Why so surprised? This is the Big Demon Hall left by a Divine Emperor-level Great Demon. It’s definite that Qi Jingtian has received his inheritance!” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said.
Li Cheng also slowly opened his eyes and looked at Qi Jingtian inside the light barrier, nodding in satisfaction.
Qi Jingtian strode out of the Formation and bowed, “Master, I’ve received the inheritance of this Big Demon Senior. I plan to undergo secluded cultivation here, perhaps for ten thousand years, or maybe even longer.”
Li Cheng was not surprised. This Emperor’s Perishing No Return Domain was indeed Qi Jingtian’s Holy Lands for cultivation. Even without the Heavenly Demon’s inheritance, he could merge the continental fragments to enhance his cultivation.
“Go ahead with your secluded cultivation. What’s the story behind this Great Demon Senior?” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle asked.
