Chapter 164 - 164 163 Still Hoping for My Ascension? 1



The Void Snow Sword put on a display, then flew back in front of Yun Fuxue, waiting there.

Li Cheng smiled and joked, “This must be what they mean by ‘a grown girl can’t be kept at home’!1

Yun Fuxue smiled gently, slowly raised her right hand, and let the Void Snow Sword land in the palm of her hand, “Thank you, Master Li!”

How could she refuse at this point?

The tip of the Void Snow Sword pivoted, its blade slightly bent towards Li Cheng, as if bidding farewell.

Li Cheng was left speechless with laughter.

Yun Fuxue didn’t rush to absorb it into her body, instead letting it follow beside her as she continued towards the mountain summit with Li Cheng.

Before long, the two stood at the summit, overlooking the mountains and rivers under the night sky.

“When we first met, Master Li recited a line of poetry, could I ask you to favor us with the rest?” said Yun Fuxue.

She wanted the following line.

Li Cheng felt a bit embarrassed; she was referring to the line he had casually recited back at the Zhongnan Yin-Yang Ridge.

After a slight hesitation, Li Cheng spoke out, “Zhongnan Yin Ridge has nice scenery, the piled snow reaching the clouds. The forest reveals the clear skies after rain, the city grows colder at dusk.”

Yun Fuxue’s eyes shone with wonder, looking towards the distant mountains that were faintly visible, murmuring, “Zhongnan Yin Ridge has nice scenery, the piled snow reaching the clouds…”

As her voice faded, the rules of heaven and earth were activated, and in the distant night sky, a mirage-like spectacle appeared!

At this moment, the world became bright, startling everyone to look towards the night sky.

“It’s gotten dark, why has it brightened again?”

“Look, there’s a phenomenon in the sky!”

It was a luminous scene of beautiful mountains where the white snow on the peaks seemed to connect with the clouds in the sky.

“Calm down, it’s the handiwork of a Confucian Immortal!”

The light and shadow in the night sky lasted for a long time. Yun Fuxue kept smiling as she gazed at it, and Li Cheng didn’t want to interrupt, so he meticulously sensed the rules of heaven and earth that had become active.

In this world, the Haoran Air clearly became more majestic; Yun Fuxue herself emitted a faint glow that was pure and vast, refined and elegant.

As the light and shadow faded, Yun Fuxue gave a bow to Li Cheng, “Thank you Master Li!”

Li Cheng looked up at Yun Fuxue, surprised, “You’ve had a breakthrough!” Yun Fuxue nodded, her stunningly beautiful face smiling like the ephemeral bloom of a night-blooming flower, “I had an insight, and thus I’ve broken through, all thanks to Master Li.”

Li Cheng mused, “Having reached the True Immortal Realm, if you wish to return to the Immortal World, you can only take the Sky-reaching Road or the Ascend to Immortal Platform.”

“There are more Ascend to Immortal Platforms in the Central Continent; they seem not too hard to find. Master Li, I’ll go into the Seven Mystery Tower to consolidate my cultivation. Just call me when you’re ready to leave.” Li Cheng nodded, watching Yun Fuxue enter the Seven Mystery Tower.

Swish!

Mu Xingzhi flew over, deliberately making noise, “Junior Uncle, what are you looking at? Admiring the Immortal Tower you crafted?”

There was a teasing tone in his voice.

Li Cheng nodded, “This tower, both in appearance and practicality, is quite satisfactory, isn’t it?”

“Heh heh, of course. In just one month, our sect’s overall strength has increased quite a bit; given time, our Heavenly Mechanism Sect will surely return to its former peak.” Mu Xingzhi laughed.

But there’s a problem, I’m afraid I must trouble Junior Uncle!” His tone shifted, with a bitter note mixed into Mu Xingzhi’s laughter.

“Let’s hear it,” said Li Cheng.

Mu Xingzhi pointed at the Seven Mystery Tower, “It’s about that kid Lei Yuan, he cultivated the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll and it’s like a fish taking to water, but that kid has no intention of taking over as Sect Master!”

“So I want to ask Junior Uncle to give him a command, to obediently follow me and learn for a hundred years so that he can lead the sect in the future.”

Li Cheng shook his head with a smile. If someone didn’t want to be Sect Master, what could his command do?

A twisted melon is never sweet, ah!

Forget about it, you might have his person, but you can’t have his heart. This forcing method will only backfire, maybe he won’t care about anything as Sect Master, and it might even hinder the sect’s development,” Li Cheng said.

Cough cough…

Mu Xingzhi coughed violently, “What do you mean ‘person and heart’? I just want him to stay by my side, influenced by me for a hundred years. I believe with such a long time, he will definitely become interested in the position of Sect Master.”

Li Cheng laughed and pointed at the Seven Mystery Tower, “Isn’t he cultivating inside? Why don’t you just go in and influence him whenever you’re free? A hundred years outside, but it’s tens of thousands of years inside.”

Mu Xingzhi, filled with resignation, knew that hoping for Li Cheng to give orders was futile.

He would have to find another way himself.

With a sigh, Mu Xingzhi changed the subject, “Junior Uncle, it seems Senior Feng will soon return to the Immortal World. When the time comes, why don’t you stowaway with him?”

“Stowaway?”

Li Cheng looked at Mu Xingzhi in surprise. What kind of idea was that?

Wanting to go to the Immortal World, why not just do it openly and aboveboard?

“Yes, ask Senior Feng to use a space Immortal Artifact to take you, Junior

Uncle! Otherwise, you’ll have to find the Sky-reaching Road or the Ascend to Immortal Platform, which are difficult to find.”

“Anyone who hasn’t become an immortal can’t stow away, but Junior Uncle, you’re already a Heavenly Immortal, so this method is feasible!”

Mu Xingzhi looked at Li Cheng with hope.

Li Cheng was somewhat speechless, “Why are you still hoping for me to ascend to the Immortal Realm? Didn’t I tell you before, my staying here brings benefits far beyond ascending, haven’t you seen that my words were true?”

Mu Xingzhi hurriedly waved his hands, “No, initially I was hoping for Junior Uncle to ascend to attract people to strengthen the sect, but it’s different now!” “Nowadays, so many people are begging to join the sect, including quite a number of Loose Immortals. The sect is already on its way to becoming more powerful, but we always suspect that the Immortal World sects are in great trouble and urgently need someone as extraordinary as Junior Uncle to help out!”

Li Cheng couldn’t help but chuckle, “You sure dare to dream!”

There was no doubt, Mu Xingzhi was referring to the fact that not a single person from the sect has managed to ascend for over ten thousand years. But now with the Seven Mystery Tower, many sect powerhouses were already preparing for Tribulation Crossing to ascend.

“It’s not about daring to dream, but my Heaven Secret Technique has improved greatly. I’ve specifically divined and vaguely discovered that it’s the Immortal World sects preventing us!”

“Think about it, Junior Uncle. If the Immortal World sects don’t let us ascend, that must mean they’ve encountered a big problem and want us to preserve our strength in the Lower World.”

“In such a case, only someone as extraordinary as Junior Uncle can go to the Immortal World and help the Immortal World sects solve their problems.”

Mu Xingzhi said earnestly.

Li Cheng looked at Mu Xingzhi and decided not to bring up the fact that Grand Venerable Bai Jie and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect of the Immortal World had some sort of secret agreement.

Because he also wasn’t clear about what agreement Grand Venerable Bai Jie and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect of the Immortal World had reached; it certainly wasn’t as simple as just protecting Ling Xi.

These were just the speculations of the Evil Master and others. The true reasons were only known to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect of the Immortal World and Grand Venerable Bai Jie.

Pondering, Li Cheng suddenly had a thought. If Grand Venerable Bai Jie taught Ling Xi something, could it be possible that he also told Ling Xi about this so- called agreement?

With this thought, Li Cheng looked at Mu Xingzhi, “Don’t be too quick to make conclusions. I have something to do now. I’ll come to see you later.”

After speaking, Li Cheng’s figure was already at the front of the Seven Mystery Tower, and he promptly entered.

This matter, he had to ask Ling Xi about.
