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

Yin Qingshan activated the Hidden Spirit Array immediately, controlling the formation to envelop the area where Li Cheng was located, preventing the divine might from affecting the whole village.

Even so, the villagers felt an invisible pressure that seemed capable of crushing a person into pieces, and they quickly moved away from that area.

Kong Lianqing watched with eyes wide open, “To simultaneously refine so many Divine Artifacts and to have all of them succeed, moreover, these seventy-two divine artifacts have all reached the pinnacle of lower-grade Divine Artifacts, each is only one divine pattern away from becoming a middle-grade Divine Artifact!”

She stayed here to watch Li Cheng refine artifacts, never expecting that in just two short days, so many lower-grade Divine Artifacts would be created in one breath!

As the seventy-two divine artifacts were refined simultaneously, divine might filled the air, and sword radiance and Sword Qi splattered. If it weren’t for the suppression by the Hidden Spirit Array, the entire village would have suffered an unwarranted disaster.

Looking at these divine artifacts, Li Cheng sighed to himself, thinking that before ascending, he had obtained nearly a thousand Divine Pill recipes from Gu Sanqiu, yet he had not expected to use artifact refining before even using the pill recipes after his ascension.

After collecting the divine artifacts, Li Cheng looked towards the not too distant Kong Lianqing and Yin Qingshan standing shoulder to shoulder.

“I have never seen artifact refining done like this before; truly an eye-opener!” Kong Lianqing approached, her cool voice ringing out.

Li Cheng clasped his fists in greeting, “Miss Kong has flattered me with her laughter!”

“I heard you are preparing to go to Cloud Bright City, as it happens I am also going there. May we travel together?” Kong Lianqing said.

Yin Qingshan joined in, “We’ll set off early tomorrow morning.”

Li Cheng nodded. There was nothing to refuse, as the path had confusing arrays and needed someone from Hidden Spirit Village to lead the way.

At nightfall, a bonfire was lit in the center of Hidden Spirit Village, and all the villagers gathered around as a farewell for Li Cheng and Yin Yue, knowing that once they left, it would be a long time before they returned.

“How long has it been since you ascended?” Sitting by the bonfire, Kong Lianqing asked.

“Just over a month.”

“That means your Artifact Refining Technique is from the Lower World? To be able to mass-produce Divine Artifacts is quite remarkable!” Kong Lianqing sincerely admired this but remained with an always cool expression on her face.

As she spoke, Kong Lianqing took out a Jade Slip, “The Divine Realm is much larger than the Lower World. The area we are in is the Xuankong Domain, there are countless Divine Dynasties. This is a map of the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty, take a look.”

Li Cheng nodded and accepted it, his Divine Sense swept over it to memorize, and then returned the Jade Slip to Kong Lianqing, “The Kongqian Heaven Dynasty spans a hundred billion li, what is the highest realm of the strongest experts here?”

Kong Lianqing shook her head, “Not clear. Officially, Divine Kings are the peak fighting force of the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty, but whether that is truly the case, who can say?”

“In the God Realm, advancing in every realm is extremely difficult, but each advancement in cultivation is a world of difference. A Divine King can easily establish a Divine Dynasty, becoming a ruler in his own right.”

Li Cheng naturally knew that cultivation advancement was not easy, no longer as straightforward as in the Immortal Realm, but he wasn’t worried. As long as he had resources, advancing his cultivation was not difficult for him.

Now that he had the map, Li Cheng also had a plan: to quickly head to the royal city and start by exchanging refining for cultivation resources.

The royal city was a convergence point for countless powerful individuals and a hub of commerce. There, he could surely rise quickly.

“Brother Li, we will part ways tomorrow. On behalf of Hidden Spirit Village, I thank you for your help!” Yin Qingshan came over, holding up a cup of wine.

The villagers also stood up one after another, their faces filled with gratitude, which seemed even more ardent in the light of the fire.

Li Cheng stood up and raised his wine cup, drinking it all in one go.

“They say ‘Every man for himself, or heaven and earth will combine to destroy him.’ Many in the Divine Realm follow this view, being selfish and self-serving. To be like you and earn the respect and recognition of others is very rare.” After everyone sat down, Kong Lianqing also raised her cup, looking towards Li Cheng.

Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Li Cheng thought he saw a hint of a smile in Kong Lianqing’s eyes.

He drank in one go again, and with a laugh, Li Cheng said, “Back in the Immortal World, the sect I belonged to rose from obscurity. We helped and supported each other, creating a great atmosphere. I guess I’ve just gotten used to it…”

Boom!

Before he could finish, a young man collapsed not far away, convulsing all over.

“Wang Ping, what’s wrong with you?” The people nearby hurried to check on him.

Wang Ping was the one whose sister had been taken by Move Cloud Mountain Stronghold.

Boom, boom, boom…

More thuds followed, as if in a chain reaction, with person after person falling to the ground.

Li Cheng felt an ominous sensation welling up in his heart and swiftly activated the Formation.

“Poison…” Wang Ping spoke with difficulty, black blood continuously flowing from his mouth.

The others were in a similar state, and within a few breaths, some had already died!

Yin Qingshan’s complexion drastically changed, “We’re all on the same side, how could there be poison?”

Without any hesitation, Yin Qingshan grabbed Yin Yue from afar and quickly started to examine her.

Yin Yue’s complexion gradually turned pale as black blood began oozing from her pores.

At this moment, anyone below the level of a Heaven God displayed the same symptoms, violently spewing black blood from their mouths, and from every pore!

Only Li Cheng, Kong Lianqing, and Yin Qingshan, the three Heaven Gods, were temporarily unaffected.

Li Cheng rushed to Yin Yue’s side and with an outstretched hand, he channeled the Life Law, infusing her with a continuous stream of life force. “What kind of poison is this? It’s relentlessly eroding the life force, even the Divine Pills are being corroded.”

Apart from the three Heaven Gods, everyone else writhed in excruciating pain, barely able to growl. Within just a few breaths, more than half were dead, their corpses rapidly decaying.

Yin Yue could no longer speak. With both Li Cheng and Yin Qingshan working together to save her, the effect was negligible; they could only slightly slow down the decay of her body.

Kong Lianqing also rushed over, taking out a Divine Pill and placing it in Yin Yue’s mouth, her complexion somewhat pale, “It’s very similar to the Decaying Bone Demon Poison of the Withered Bone Demon Monarch. Even True Gods cannot withstand this poison.”

Yin Qingshan’s complexion also turned increasingly pale, “Withered Bone Demon Monarch? But if even True Gods can’t resist it, why are we unaffected?”

No sooner had he spoken than Yin Qingshan couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of black blood, his breath starting to weaken.

Li Cheng’s pupils constricted; Yin Qingshan had been affected too!

Kong Lianqing’s complexion grew even paler, “It really is the Decaying Bone Demon Poison, this is bad!”

On the other hand, after taking the Divine Pill, Yin Yue’s condition was rapidly improving.

“Do you have more?” Li Cheng asked hurriedly, the Divine Pill Kong Lianqing had given Yin Yue could obviously cure the Decaying Bone Demon Poison.

Kong Lianqing shook her head and spat out a mouthful of black blood before quickly sitting down to meditate, “I only brought one…”

Li Cheng suddenly felt an intense pain in his abdomen, his complexion turning pale in an instant!

Quickly sitting down cross-legged, Li Cheng desperately circulated the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture. Only by looking inward did he see a wisp of pitch-black power already heading straight for his Dantian, rushing toward the Divine Child.

“Who is it!” Yin Qingshan tried his best to suppress the Decaying Bone Demon Poison and turned his head to look around.

“Haha, it’s all mine now, all mine!” At this moment, Wang Ping, the first to collapse, actually stood up and laughed wildly.

Yin Qingshan’s pale face was filled with rage as he bellowed, “You did this? Where did you get the Decaying Bone Demon Poison? Why would you harm the whole village? We are all family!”

“Family? Maybe in the past, but how did the villagers look at me and my sister the past two days since she returned? Pity, regret, even mockery?”

“When everyone is dead, no one will know about my sister’s ordeal!” Wang Ping scoffed.

Yin Qingshan looked toward the person beside Wang Ping, gritted his teeth and said, “Your sister, she’s also dead!”

Wang Ping shrugged, “Yeah, after this no one will know I had a sister who was toyed with by bandits for years. Hehe, village chief, go in peace. With Li Cheng’s Divine Artifacts, I will definitely build a stronger Hidden Spirit Village!”

Kong Lianqing’s gaze was icy, “Who is the Withered Bone Demon Monarch to you?”

Wang Ping sneered, sidestepping the question, and pulled out a pitch-black pill, “There’s one antidote left. Miss Kong, do you want it? Hehe… Agree to one condition, and I’ll give it to you!”

Suddenly, Yin Qingshan sprang into action, appearing almost instantly in front of Wang Ping, and with a smack, he reduced Wang Ping to a pile of mush!

His Divine Soul had been corroded and he couldn’t use his Divine Power; otherwise, why would he need to leap over?

But this action caused Yin Qingshan to spout black blood violently again.

Struggling to pick up the pitch-black pill, Yin Qingshan didn’t even glance at it as he trembled precariously toward Li Cheng and Kong Lianqing. But after a few steps, he could no longer persist and collapsed.

“Cough… Brother Li, Miss Kong, whoever survives, I hope you can take care of Xiao Yue for me…”

With that, Yin Qingshan used his last bit of strength to throw the pill in front of the two..
