Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend!

The First Elder’s smile solidified, gradually becoming sorrowful.

“Sect Master, this level is truly vast, containing endless Immortal Elixirs and Immortal Materials. I fear our sect could not exhaust them for countless ages, and the four levels above are probably no different. These resources…” The Second Elder couldn’t continue and took a deep breath.

“That’s enough, let these three Inheritance Steles be placed here. In the future, let them be passed down according to little uncle’s wishes. For now, have the Sixth Elder set up a Formation to conceal the presence of the Tower of Chaos. The resources here are inexhaustible, and the news must absolutely not be leaked,” said Mu Xingzhi with a solemn expression.

The Sixth Elder looked puzzled, “The Formation outside is a ninth-grade Immortal Array, and we also have the Sect Protection Array. What Formation should I set up?”

Mu Xingzhi’s expression stiffened, “Little uncle has already made proper arrangements, hasn’t he!”

In the great hall, the banquet was almost ready. Nine disciples gathered in front of Li Cheng, all with reluctant faces.

Li Cheng smiled, “I have left behind the Pill Artifact Array inheritance in the Tower of Chaos. If you’re interested, learn from it. Qi Jingtian, that kid in the Northern Region, when he comes back, let him study the Formation properly.”

“Master, I have never accompanied you on your journeys all these years. This time, let your disciple accompany you,” said Yun Tianqiong.

Ling Xi and the others also couldn’t wait to speak up, but Li Cheng raised his hand to interrupt, “Your teacher is not gone for good, I’m just going to find the Divine Path. Once found, I will naturally return.”

While speaking, Li Cheng looked at Ling Xi and smiled, “Maybe it won’t take long before I can come back with your father.”

“The ancient battlefield will open in a few years. If you want to go by then, follow the Elders of our sect. The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and that old rat will be going too, and the gains will surely be significant.”

Li Cheng passed down the remaining fifteen layers of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture and gave each person five hundred Enlightenment Divine Fruits, “You all need to comprehend the Laws well. When your Law is complete, perhaps the Divine Path will have been restored.”

All the disciples nodded with great emphasis, the meaning behind their master’s words was clear: they were destined to reunite in the Divine Realm one day.

“Master, are you discussing all this now because you don’t plan to attend the banquet? Are you leaving?” Gu Biyue’s eyes were slightly red as she lightly bit her lip and asked.

Li Cheng nodded, “Originally, I planned to first fully comprehend the Laws of Life and Death before going, but that would take too much time. It would be the same to comprehend them later.”

The Seven Mystery Tower was no longer of use to Li Cheng, and the same was true for the Immortal Palace. This made Li Cheng very upset; if he went into closed-door cultivation, there would no longer be the advantage of time.

His Time Law consisted of 64,800 paths. Even if he remade the Seven Mystery Tower, the effect would certainly be negligible. It would be better to look for the Divine Path first.

Reaching out his hand, the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns, hidden in the air, flew into Li Cheng’s hands. Yun Fuxue said this artifact would be useful to him, so he might as well take it!

The disciples quickly got to their feet—Master was really leaving now!

Li Cheng looked at his disciples with a smile, his gaze sweeping over each of them before his figure vanished from the spot.

At dawn, Li Cheng appeared in the Central Continent, “Not having the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle with me feels a bit strange!”

Turning to glance at the direction of the Southern Domain, Li Cheng’s expression became determined, this journey, he must find the Divine Path!

In the eastern part of the Divine Palace Region, within a lake, Li Cheng descended swiftly.

“Is the entrance to the Three-way Abyss really here? This is rather troublesome, isn’t it? Have I descended over a thousand miles already? Such a deep lake gives me the creeps,” the voice of Jiang Zhipan echoed.

“Predecessor, you are a Heaven God, are you afraid of a mere lake? We still need to descend another two thousand miles or so!” Li Cheng laughed.

“The Three-way Abyss is nothing but darkness, even more unsettling,” added Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.

Jiang Zhipan coughed dryly, not visible but said, “Call me when we’re there.”

Soon after, Li Cheng was standing on a platform covered in mysterious patterns, atop the seventh pillar of the Sky-reaching Pillar.

“We’ve arrived. I’ll study it first to see how to activate it,” said Li Cheng.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan and Jiang Zhipan appeared together and began to inspect it as well.

“No need to study, I’m here. This was made by the strong ones of my clan!” Jiang Zhipan said with a smile, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

As he spoke, Jiang Zhipan stepped onto the platform. With a stomp of his foot, a Teleportation Gate appeared at the platform’s center.

Passing through the Teleportation Gate, they indeed arrived at the Three-way Abyss, shrouded in darkness.

“The bridge really has been shattered. The Three-way Abyss was once brimming with life, but now it’s become like this,” Jiang Zhipan sighed.

“There’s no sense of direction in this darkness, no sky above nor earth below. Senior, can you pinpoint the direction of the Divine Path?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan asked.

Jiang Zhipan, as if looking at Li Cheng, said, “You don’t need me. With your mastery of the Rule of Fire complete, you should naturally be able to sense the location of the Divine Path. Give it a try.”

Li Cheng nodded, and, using the Rule of Fire, he carefully sensed around him. Sure enough, he felt something.

For safety’s sake, Li Cheng wrapped the two of them in his Law field and dashed toward the direction he sensed.

“It’s much more comfortable inside the field, or else staying in that darkness would indeed be hair-raising,” Jiang Zhipan breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, he spoke again, “Say, Li Cheng, are you really hurrying along? It’s all darkness, and there’s no feeling of moving forward; it’s quite strange.”

“We should be close now. I sense something ahead that blocks Immortal Sense from probing; it’s very long!”

As Li Cheng spoke, he had already teleported to the object in question.

A faintly glowing ribbon of light lay diagonally in the darkness, its end extending into the unknown.

Li Cheng withdrew his domain, and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan and Jiang Zhipan could hardly wait to look over, their eyes widening in unison.

It was a staircase, like a neon light in the darkness.

“It is indeed broken! This is the Divine Path, once connecting the Divine Realm. I never expected only this much to be left,” Jiang Zhipan murmured.

Li Cheng flew to the staircase, which appeared to be made of some kind of colorful gemstone, emitting a faint divine light. There was an inexplicable might within it that evoked reverence.

Jiang Zhipan followed, “The Divine Path has a total of one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred steps. Each step helps one to condense the Law they’ve comprehended into a Divine Pattern; completing the Divine Path gives birth to a Divine Child.”

Li Cheng nodded in understanding, “I see, but there doesn’t seem to be much of the Divine Path left, and it’s unclear how many steps remain.”

He looked up towards the end of the staircase; it was hard to make out.

Jiang Zhipan’s figure drifted toward the staircase, returning in the blink of an eye as swift as lightning, shaking his head, “Only sixty-four thousand eight hundred are left, exactly half.”

“Don’t be surprised. Although I’m only a Remnant Soul, I am a deity, and the Divine Path won’t block a deity.”

Without becoming a deity, one can only ascend step by step. The deities, however, can fly directly to the top.

Li Cheng contemplated; the Laws between heaven and earth could only be comprehended by half, and if the Divine Path was also only half left, the two must surely be related.

“Shall we try going up?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan looked at Li Cheng.

Li Cheng nodded and stepped onto the first level of the staircase.

In an instant, Li Cheng felt a mystical power surge toward him. As the Immortal Yuan circulated through his body and flowed into his Dantian, it unexpectedly condensed the ten Laws he had comprehended into individual Divine Patterns, which merged into his Immortal Infant.

In other words, in just a moment’s time, the ten Laws—Five Elements, Time, Space, Thunder, Life, Death—had each formed a corresponding Divine Pattern, totaling ten.

Li Cheng’s thoughts sank into his Dantian, and as he sensed it closely, each Divine Pattern contained a powerful force of its corresponding attribute. If one imbued an attack with a Divine Pattern, the power might increase manifold.

“Senior, my Rule of Fire is complete, but my other Laws are not. Yet now, every kind has condensed into a Divine Pattern. Is this normal?” Li Cheng turned around and asked.

“That’s exactly it; achieving completeness in one Law activates the Divine Path to condense Divine Patterns, naturally condensing all the Laws you’ve comprehended,” Jiang Zhipan explained.

“Judging by your speed of condensing, you can complete this half of the Divine Path in three months. Keep it up!”

Li Cheng felt eager in his heart. If he could complete half of the Divine Path, then he would have a total of one hundred fifty-six thousand one hundred Divine Patterns fused into his Immortal Infant, with six thousand four hundred eighty Divine Patterns each for Time and the Rule of Fire.

Now, with only one Divine Pattern per kind, he already felt several times stronger, but after he finished this half of the Divine Path, how strong would he be?

Suddenly, Li Cheng felt that the reason Grand Venerable Bai Jie was so powerful was very likely because he had completed this half of the Divine Path!

With this thought, Li Cheng continued towards the second step.

But just as he took a step, Li Cheng suddenly turned and hurriedly enveloped the two of them with his Law field, “Trouble is here!”
