BXBX NOVEL Chapter 173 - 172: Get Rid of Him_1
The Five Elements Elf Tribe was discussing the allocation of the pills, and Li Cheng had already begun to continue refining the Divine World.
As always, he used his enlightenment opportunities. In the state of enlightenment, his perception of the Divine World became countless times easier.
“Li Cheng can enter the state of enlightenment whenever he pleases. He must harbor no small secrets. Is the Immortal Emperor not interested?” Zhuo Canghai, with only his remnant soul left, asked cautiously from a corner of the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.
Hum!
No sooner had his voice faded than the formation within the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod was activated, incessantly eroding Zhuo Canghai’s remnant soul.
Zhuo Canghai’s wails were unceasing!
“Hmph, coveting my master’s possessions? Zhuo Canghai, do you no longer wish to keep your remnant soul?” The voice of the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod rang out.
“Spare me, spare me, I dare not!” Zhuo Canghai had no choice but to plead piteously, filled with infinite sorrow in his heart—himself, a Golden Immortal, now at the mercy of an artifact spirit!
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan glanced at Zhuo Canghai with amusement and said indifferently, “You’ve brought this upon yourself!”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “But don’t erase the remnant soul completely; otherwise, the Artifact Sect of the Immortal World will notice his death!”
“Yes, yes, you’re right, Immortal Emperor. Artifact spirit, please stop!”
“Otherwise, if a high-ranking member of the Artifact Sect descends to the lower world, you’ll be in trouble!”
Zhuo Canghai hurriedly shouted.
High-ranking member? Something stirred in Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s heart, and he suddenly laughed, “I almost forgot—if we consider the companions currently around Li Cheng, he has plenty of high-ranking members. Tripod spirit, go ahead and erase him, it won’t be a problem!”
What?
Zhuo Canghai was utterly panicked!
But the tripod spirit didn’t give him a chance to speak; since Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had given the green light, why wait?
The formation operated, and within a few breaths, Zhuo Canghai completely dissipated, leaving behind only his pure soul power drifting inside the tripod.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan casually reached out, and all that power was absorbed by him.
“Senior, you could actually let my master capture some immortals to strengthen your remnant soul, perhaps enabling it to recover to the point where you could reconstruct a physical body,” the tripod spirit suggested.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shook his head, “No need, it’s not bad as it is. Oh, it’s done!”
Li Cheng’s palms slightly touched, and the Divine World had already shrunk to the size of a fingertip between his palms, looking like a dream-colored pearl.
“Indeed, after refining thirty percent, I can easily pick it up. If I refine another twenty percent, I reckon it will be as Senior said—I will be able to enter its interior and learn of its origin!” Li Cheng said with a smile, playing with the pearl.
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded, “Then you’ll need to work hard to enhance your cultivation. If you can fully refine it, it will become a tremendous aid to you.”
Li Cheng nodded, “I should head back. I’m planning to return and refine the Profound Spirit Pills. In a few years, I’ll be able to step into the Complete Profound Immortal level, and then I’ll head to Misty City for further cultivation.”
“Yes, cultivate well, and you must also tell Yan Wuxiang to be vigilant. Zhuo Canghai has already been scattered to the winds, and the Artifact Sect of the Immortal World must have detected it by now. It won’t be long before they send someone stronger to the lower world,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan calmly said.
Li Cheng was shocked—had he really scattered Zhuo Canghai’s soul?
But it didn’t matter. Initially, Zhuo Canghai was kept alive to prevent the Artifact Sect of the Immortal World from sending stronger individuals to the lower world. But now, with Yan Wuxiang there, what was there to fear?
Moreover, Yan Bei was recovering, and once he was back, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would have two Immortal Emperors!
With such a lineup, what was there to fear about lower realm invaders from the Artifact Sect?
With this thought, Li Cheng smiled and nodded, “Understood, I’ll head back first.”
With a thought, he stored the pearl into his Dantian, placing it in the hands of the Immortal Infant, and continued to refine it slowly.
After leaving the grave, he saw Ling Xi and Yan Yao already waiting outside, both women holding a jade bottle in their hands.
“Master, they have given each of us ten King Grade Profound Spirit Pills!” Ling Xi said as she handed over the jade bottle.
Li Cheng was speechless, those were third level Immortal Pills, which they couldn’t even use.
Besides, he had kept fifteen Emperor Grade Pills for himself, which already included a share for his disciples; why would they need King Grade ones?
A single Emperor Grade Pill was enough to see them through the Profound Immortal Realm!
But since they were given, he thought it best to let them handle it themselves.
“Keep them,” Li Cheng said. “Once you get to the Immortal World, if you don’t need them, you can trade them for other items.”
“Say goodbye to them, it’s time for us to return to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!”
The Five Elements Elf Tribe had a long discussion and finally distributed the pills, just as Li Cheng arrived with the two ladies.
“Thank you, Benefactor. With these pills, our six clans will surely see a great increase in strength!” Elder Qingfeng was the first to come forward and bowed deeply.
The other clan leaders also bowed deeply to express their gratitude.
Li Cheng clasped his fists. “We need to return. Clan Leaders, Monkey King, until next time!”
“No, don’t leave just yet, Brother! It’s not easy to come all this way, why not stay a few more days?” the Monkey Kongxu pleaded, stepping forward hastily.
“Alas, it’s a pity we haven’t found a way out yet…” Elder Qingfeng sighed heavily.
They too wished to venture out, especially after learning about the ancestral lands.
“Li Cheng, perhaps you can try with your domain!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan suggested through a voice transmission.
A thought struck Li Cheng; that’s right, with his Law field covering them, they should be able to elude the Order of Heaven and Earth and take them out!
Thinking of this, Li Cheng said, “My friends, let me try. Perhaps I can take you all out.”
Monkey Kongxu, overwhelmed with joy, didn’t hesitate at all as he threw a token far away, “I renounce my position as Clan Leader, I want to go out with Brother Li!”
The members of the Five Elements Elf Tribe were still in shock, their expressions gradually turning to excitement—such good news!
“Benefactor, please wait a moment for us to arrange our clan affairs, then we can go!” Elder Qingfeng said joyfully.
With all the Immortals from the various clans present, matters were quickly resolved and soon, five Clan Leaders had temporarily chosen their successors and arranged everything satisfactorily.
“Manage our clan affairs well. We five are going to visit our ancestral lands. If possible, we will bring the lands back with us!”
With the Demon Human Clan around, they couldn’t afford to have too many people leave, and since it concerned their ancestral lands, the five Clan Leaders had to go themselves.
Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance.
Under the watchful eyes of many Immortals, Li Cheng covered the five Clan Leaders and Monkey Kongxu with his Law field and stepped towards the valley.
The five Clan Leaders and the monkey looked slightly nervous. They had tried many times but had never been able to enter the valley. Now, could they?
Li Cheng carefully sensed everything around him. Sure enough, the moment he stepped into the valley, the intangible powers of Heaven and Earth surged forth but then dissipated, allowing Li Cheng to lead everyone into the valley!
“We did it!” Monkey Kongxu exclaimed, dancing with excitement. They had entered the valley, which meant they could leave!
Li Cheng understood at heart. The Grand Venerable Bai Jie must have used a similar method to take everyone out in the past!
At Bai Jie’s level of the realm, he must have comprehended an enormous amount of Laws.
The path he had to walk was still long!
Once out of the hollow tree, the five Clan Leaders and the monkey quieted down, standing silently in the snow, facing the wind and snow, and feeling the world around them.
Li Cheng didn’t disturb them. After glancing toward the Land of Chaos in the north, he began to look for a location to set up a Transmission Array, intending to connect it with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s Cross-domain Teleportation Array, which would make travel much more convenient.
