Chapter 250 - 249: The Spirit of the Heavenly Book 1



Tianji Zi spoke, a trace of sorrow flitted across the depths of his eyes. Since then, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had been targeted by the Immortal Court, eventually forced to seal its gates.

In the end, they even requested Grand Venerable Bai Jie to use the Seal of Heaven to block the ascension path of the disciples from the Lower World’s Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

Li Cheng looked at the object that was locked up, it was an ancient bronze tripod, with three legs and two ears, and without a trace of aura on its surface, appearing to be a mundane object.

Moreover, the body of the tripod was covered with patches of rust, giving it a very ancient look.

Does Ancestor Master also not know the origin of this tripod?” Li Cheng asked.

Tianji Zi nodded, “It’s impossible to deduce, but it’s clear that if the Immortal Court were to get it, it would be catastrophic for all living beings.” Li Cheng tried, but his Immortal Sense could not penetrate the body of the tripod, and even the mouth of the tripod was blocked by a mysterious force. It was impossible to see the inside; all that was visible was pitch blackness.

“I probed the Heavenly Mechanism not long ago and found that this item can only be safe in your hands,” Tianji Zi looked towards Li Cheng.

Without hesitation, Li Cheng nodded, “Of course, no problem.”

There must be a big secret within this tripod, Li Cheng felt that when the time was right, he might find a way to explore it.

Tianji Zi didn’t say much more and withdrew the chains that locked the tripod. Li Cheng took the opportunity to act and brought the tripod into the Fire Mysterious Realm.

Keeping it in the Divine World was undoubtedly the safest option.

After a thought, Li Cheng said, “I see many powerful individuals near the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, many of whom are not from our sect, likely to be the Immortal Court’s spies. Perhaps, Ancestor Master, you should release the news that I’ve taken away the item?”

A look of astonishment crossed Tianji Zi’s eyes. By doing this, Li Cheng wanted to draw the attention of the Immortal Court to himself, to attract the fire.

Given Li Cheng’s strength, Tianji Zi naturally had no concerns. However, he still shook his head, “This will only cause you unnecessary trouble and danger, not advisable!”

Li Cheng just smiled, not carrying on with the topic, and changed the subject, I plan to visit the Central Continent, Ancestor Master. I shall take my leave now!”

After leaving the cave, Li Cheng met up with Bai Xian and Gu Sanqiu. At Li Cheng’s suggestion, instead of taking the Cross-domain Teleportation Array, the three flew directly northward.

Having left the Heavenly Mechanism Sect by a hundred thousand miles, Li Cheng suddenly stopped.

Regretting it? I said it before, the teleportation array is right there, why not use it? Why bother going through the trouble?” Gu Sanqiu said.

Li Cheng ignored Gu Sanqiu, took out the Fire Mysterious Realm, and released the great tripod.

As soon as the bronze tripod appeared, both Gu Sanqiu and Bai Xian turned their attention to it, simultaneously asking, “What is this?”

Immortal Yuan surged in Li Cheng’s hand, and he slapped the body of the tripod.

Bang!

A thunderous sound exploded, and a visibly shocking impact spread across the sky, sweeping across tens of thousands of miles with its vast fluctuations.

At that moment, all cultivators were aware of it and turned their gaze in this direction.

Li Cheng focused on the mouth of the tripod to see a flickering black light and an ominous aura pervading the air, as if some great malevolent entity was about to break through the black shimmer!

In the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Tianji Zi gave a wry smile, “This little guy…” At this moment, countless Immortal Senses surged, and no one knew how many had seen Li Cheng fiddling with the great tripod.

Tianji Zi understood that he had refused earlier, but now Li Cheng was deliberately leaking the news!

In the sky, Li Cheng sensed innumerable Immortal Senses probing and immediately put away the tripod, suppressing it with the vast power of the Fire Mysterious Realm.

Having done this, Li Cheng pulled the other two and teleported away.

After several teleports, the three arrived at the Land of Chaos and hurried to the Central Continent aboard the Space-Breaking Shuttle.

“Junior Brother, there seems to be some great terror sealed within that Qing Bronze Tripod, don’t act recklessly, it’s quite frightening!” Gu Sanqiu said with lingering fear. When the black light in the tripod flickered before, even he felt as if he was falling into an ice pit.”

Li Cheng nodded, “I was just probing, and it seems… indeed, one should not be too curious.”

The aura that escaped from the black light before was something that Li Cheng could clearly sense, and he knew it was not something he could cope with at the moment.

At least, he would have to wait until he comprehended more Laws.

One day later, in the Divine Palace Region of Central Continent, the Pill League. Li Cheng summoned the Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan and looked at his nearly solidified form, nodding with satisfaction. “Senior, you’ve recovered quickly. It seems you can re-condense your Immortal Body now.”

Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan shook his head, “I have no such intention. Even if I were to re-condense my Immortal Body, I would have to start cultivating all over again. I’d rather stay as I am!”

Without explaining his reasons, Li Cheng just chuckled and didn’t ask further, changing the subject. “Senior, I plan to go to the Land of Darkness again.

Regarding that Divine Palace, I’d like to hear your thoughts.”

Last time, Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan seemed to have thought of something, but he said he needed to sort out his thoughts. Now that over a thousand years ‘ had passed in the Seven Mystery Tower, there should be some conclusions.

Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan shook his head, “The Pen of Life and Death flew into that Divine Palace. I guess that it’s likely the rumored entrance to the Netherworld.”

“In the last era, great worlds like the Kunlun Realm were not suppressed; one could become divine, and the worlds were closely connected, including the rumored Netherworld.”

“But times have changed, and everything is different now. It’s rumored that the entrance to the Netherworld was sealed; in my view, it was sealed within that Divine Palace.”

The words of Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan piqued Li Cheng’s curiosity further.

The Netherworld, it’s rumored to be the place people go after death—similar to the Yama’s Palace spoken about in the world before his transmigration.

And Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan’s conjecture was not without basis, like the Dead Spirits that Li Cheng had seen. Logically, they should belong in the Netherworld.

But since the entrance to the Netherworld was sealed, they could not go there and ended up as Dead Spirits in the great worlds.

“Anyway, it’s just my conjecture, don’t try to decipher that Divine Palace, unless your understanding of the Law of Death reaches a complete state.”

Li Cheng nodded. He was just asking. When going to the Land of Darkness, the focus was to find the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture.

No longer dwelling on this, Li Cheng approached Bai Xian to open the passage and entered again.

Standing before the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, Li Cheng didn’t hesitate and began to experience enlightenment, sensing the Wordless Heavenly Scripture intimately!

As long as he could take the Wordless Heavenly Scripture with him, he could use it to sense the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture.

In the state of enlightenment, Li Cheng seemed to be standing amidst a boundless white world, where there was nothing at all!

Yet on closer inspection, one could see nearly transparent light points scattered throughout this expanse of heaven and earth. These light points stored countless Cultivation Techniques and skills, innumerable!

Li Cheng didn’t touch any of those techniques or skills. They were insights gained by predecessors from the Wordless Heavenly Scripture and of no use to him, so he stepped forward and roamed aimlessly.

“So many techniques and secret skills, are you not interested?”

Suddenly, a voice filled with a sense of time’s passage rang out.

Following the sound, Li Cheng saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged. His eyebrows were so long that they floated gently, extending beyond sight.

“I pay my respects to the Ancestor of the Heavenly Book!” Li Cheng bowed in greeting.

Undoubtedly, this was the spirit of the Heavenly Book!

The old man’s face was calm with a faint smile, “I detect the presence of the first page on you, it seems it has taken form. It led you in, didn’t it?”

Li Cheng nodded, “Indeed!”

The old man sighed with relief, “My plan is half complete, young friend, I have a favor to ask of you!”
