BXBX NOVEL Chapter 154: Me? In Charge of an Immortal?—1
Yan Wuxiang looked at Li Cheng with some admiration; he could sense that the immortal Tower contained Laws and even a different flow of time from the outside world. Cultivating here, even an ordinary cultivator with enough understanding could easily comprehend the rules.
To think that Li Cheng actually intended to allow all members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to enter without condition?
Tsktsk, what a fortune!
It wasn’t hard to imagine that in just a few years, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would surely be filled with a cloud of strong practitioners!
On the second day, the Eight Great Protectors, sixteen Hall Masters, and thirty- two Executives gathered together.
Looking at the fifty-six people before him, Li Cheng felt somewhat emotional; the lowest cultivation among these people was at the mid-stage of Profound Immortal, any of whom, if went out, would be an extraordinary existence within the Kunlun Realm!
If the hidden big shots of the Kunlun Realm did not come forward, any of them could cover the sky with one hand in the Kunlun Realm.
Entrusting such power to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, it was settled!
In the future, with the help of the Seven Mystery Tower to comprehend the Laws and improve their cultivation, given time, this force would become extremely terrifying.
Although deep down they certainly would not submit to him or to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, as long as Yan Wuxiang was around, there was no need to worry about them betraying the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Moreover, once they entered the Seven Mystery Tower, they would certainly not want to leave the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Three days later, Li Cheng led the people to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and directly descended upon the Eighteenth Peak.
“Find your own places to build residences; from now on, this will be your home. I will bring over a Secret Land – when the time comes, the Ten Thousand Evils Cave will be based in the Secret Land,” Li Cheng said as he tossed out the Seven
Mystery Tower.
The Seven Mystery Tower quickly enlarged and transformed into a hundredmeter-tall structure, standing on the small plaza on the mountainside of the Eighteenth Peak.
“This is the Sect’s Treasure of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, the Seven Mystery Tower; each level has a vast internal space. You all can enter to cultivate, and try to go to the higher levels,” Li Cheng instructed.
Entering the Seven Mystery Tower had no cultivation restrictions, but those with too low of a cultivation level simply couldn’t withstand the horrifying influence of the flow of time in the higher levels, which could destroy their bodies in an instant as they stepped in.
Li Cheng had estimated that those below the Foundation Establishment could not possibly practice inside, those at Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul Stage could only be on the first level, those at Divinity Transformation and Fusion Dao Stage could go to the second level, Mahayana, Tribulation Crossing, and Five Tribulations Loose Immortals could reach the third level, and from the fourth level upwards, it must be those above the Six Tribulations Loose Immortal and Heavenly Immortal.
In other words, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect could basically only make use of the first three levels.
Looking at the Seven Mystery Tower, the faces of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave gradually turned to shock, as the Great Protector solemnly said, “Cave Master, the Laws around this Seven Mystery Tower are extremely active, and must be even more so inside. Cultivating inside would have a remarkable effect, but how come we’ve never heard of the Seven Mystery Tower before?”
“Yeah, such a powerful treasure far surpasses the Universe Mystery Tower of the Taoist Mysterious Sect. It shouldn’t be anonymous, right?” the Third Protector, who had once pursued Li Cheng, was extremely curious.
“The Seven Mystery Tower will be famous in the Southern Domain – it’s only a matter of time. Then, it will be up to you all to safeguard the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!” Li Cheng said.
It was easy to imagine that when the Seven Mystery Tower became famous, many strong practitioners would covet it.
But with three Daluo Golden Immortals, Li Cheng had no need to worry.
Perhaps, he could also suggest to Mu Xingzhi to appropriately allocate spots to various major forces, as a way to form good relations.
As for the specifics, Li Cheng didn’t need to think too much; Mu Xingzhi would handle the arrangements when the time came.
They had not returned from Tianyuan City yet, and Li Cheng planned to go there once more to bring Mu Xingzhi back.
“With us here, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect will be as solid as a rock!” the Great Protector said with a fist salute.
These people joined the Ten Thousand Evils Cave largely to receive guidance from the Evil Master, an existence at the level of Immortal Emperor. Just one casual piece of advice might benefit them for their entire lives.
But now that a treasure like the Seven Mystery Tower has emerged, capable of helping them understand the Laws – how could that be any less valuable than the guidance of the Evil Master?
Li Cheng nodded, knowing very well that once they experienced it, they would probably never want to leave.
“Wait for me a moment!”
Li Cheng said, and his figure vanished on the spot!
“Immortal Spirit Step! The Cave Master is of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, yet he can use the Immortal Spirit Step? Could my Golden Immortal cultivation be fake?” A hall master stood there, stunned.
“The Cave Master has the Seven Mystery Tower, he must have gleaned many of the space laws with its help, so he could execute the Immortal Spirit Step. This time we can too!”
“That’s right, I have decided to focus on understanding the laws of space, striving to be able to use the Immortal Spirit Step as soon as possible.”
The crowd’s chatter box opened, and they began discussing animatedly.
Li Cheng had already reached Tianyuan City, his Immortal Sense swept over it and he locked onto Mu Xingzhi, “Sect Leader, have you gained anything?” Mu Xingzhi, who had been searching around the city for treasures, brightened up at this, “I’ve only found a semi-immortal artifact, which can’t really count as a gain. Little martial uncle, could you give me some pointers?” “You’re floating! Not counting a semi-immortal artifact as a gain? Have you thought about how many immortal artifacts and semi-immortal artifacts our sect even possesses?” Li Cheng said with a laugh.
Mu Xingzhi shook his head, “There have already been more than ten instances of immortal artifact auras appearing, and our sect hasn’t obtained a single one; how can that be considered a gain?”
“Your perspective is too narrow; they are just immortal artifacts after all. Let’s go back to the sect; there’s a surprise waiting for you!” Li Cheng said.
Mu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and hurried toward the outskirts of Tianyuan City without hesitation, and soon, he came running to Li Cheng, his face gleaming with excitement, “Little martial uncle, the surprise you speak of must be no ordinary matter. Let’s go!”
The two didn’t intend to take the other high-rankings and disciples with them, after all, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had left many kinds of inheritances within the city, most of which had not been found yet.
Taking Mu Xingzhi with him, after a few steps, they arrived at the Eighteenth Peak.
As he landed, Mu Xingzhi’s eyes widened as he stared at the Seven Mystery Tower, “What a grandiose treasure pagoda, filled with Immortal might – this is an immortal artifact! Indeed, the surprise little martial uncle spoke of is extraordinary!”
He was unaware that this was the immortal artifact that had appeared m the Zhongnan Yin-Yang Range just a few days ago, nor did he know that it contained laws within.
“Eh? The spiritual energy of nature is converging around this Immortal Tower; this is no small matter!” Mu Xingzhi murmured.
“Don’t rush to study the Seven Mystery Tower; first, get to know these seniors!”
Li Cheng slightly raised his chin, gesturing towards the people from Ten Thousand Evils Cave approaching them.
Mu Xingzhi’s expression suddenly became solemn; he wanted to send a message telepathically but thought the better of it and spoke aloud instead: “Little martial uncle, though these seniors are concealing their momentum, the pressure they exude is too strong, far surpassing Senior Feng and Senior Qi!”
“Hmm, naturally, Feng Wanli and Qin Wuhun have only reached the complete Heavenly Immortal stage, whereas the lowest ranking among these seniors is at the Profound Immortal level,” Li Cheng said with a smile.
“We have seen Sect Leader Mu!” The Great Protector took the lead, bowing his fist towards Mu Xingzhi.
Mu Xingzhi was flattered and hastily raised his hand, about to bow in return, „ but Li Cheng grabbed him, “From now on, they will be under your command.” Joking, these are your subordinates, and you’re bowing to them? Considering they are seniors, bowing the fist or clasping hands is already showing enough respect.
Isn’t it true that you haven’t bowed to me these many years either?
“Me? Commanding immortals?” Mu Xingzhi arched his eyebrows incredulously at Li Cheng, questioning if he had heard wrong.
Li Cheng nodded, looking at the people, “He will be the deputy Cave Master from now on. Does anybody object?”
