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

Half a day passed, and the refining was completed. Looking at the fist-sized lump of liquid metal that remained, Li Cheng controlled it to float towards the dragon claw, covering it slowly like flowing water.

As time passed, the dragon claw grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared, and then the second claw began to do the same.

Day by day went by, and the fist-sized lump of liquid metal eventually absorbed the essence of all four dragon claws. There was no significant change in size, but the aura it emitted was extraordinarily terrifying.

Seeing Li Cheng beginning to control it to condense into gauntlets, and continuously casting Seals, the anticipation in Wushuan’s eyes grew more intense, “Ascenders really shouldn’t be underestimated. With early Heaven God State Cultivation, his Artifact Refining Technique is so remarkable.”

“Refining those materials took only half a day, but incorporating the dragon claws took two months. I’m quite looking forward to this finished product!” Wushuan murmured to himself, watching Li Cheng’s Artifact Refining without blinking.

Finally, Li Cheng completed the refining, and a pair of gauntlets floated towards Wushuan.

Wushuan did not hesitate to Refine them, and with a thought, the gauntlets covered his small hands.

He clenched his fists, and three dragon claw-like blades shot out from each gauntlet, no more than half a foot long but emitting a chilling sharpness that made one’s heart palpitate.

“Nine hundred sixty thousand Divine Patterns, almost reaching the peak of a top-grade Divine Artifact. Not bad, the dragon corpse is yours!”

Wushuan nodded in satisfaction, admiring the gauntlets as he turned to leave.

Li Cheng swallowed a Heaven God Pill to recover his Divine Power and turned to collect the dragon corpse.

Two months of refining, but earning a dragon corpse in two months was not a loss at all.

Upon leaving the secret chamber, Deacon Zhao delivered the Array Diagrams Li Cheng had selected. “Demon-suppressing Envoy, your sold Divine Artifacts earned three hundred and sixty million, with an additional thirty million in service fees, totaling three hundred and ninety million. After discounts, the Array Diagrams cost seventy million, leaving a balance of three hundred and twenty million.”

Li Cheng nodded and accepted it, preparing to take his leave when Deacon Zhao seemed hesitant to speak again.

“If Deacon Zhao has something to say, just say it!” Li Cheng said.

Deacon Zhao exhaled, “The dragon corpse is a matter of great importance. That Demon-suppressing Envoy gave you the dragon corpse merely for Artifact Refining. I fear it smacks of diverting disaster elsewhere. Please be cautious, my lord!”

This issue was naturally something Li Cheng had considered. After all, the gauntlets weren’t valued that highly, even considering they were made with dragon claws – they didn’t exceed ten million. Yet Wushuan handed over the dragon corpse in exchange. To say there was nothing strange about it, who would believe that?

The most likely possibility was exactly as Deacon Zhao had suggested, shifting disaster to someone else!

Having the dragon corpse was like a hot potato; whoever held it was out of luck.

But why would Li Cheng care?

He would wait until he had fully cultivated the White Tiger Seal, then refine the Azure Dragon Seal with the Essence Blood, and that was that.

Returning to his residence after several months, there was no change; Yin Yue had kept it spotlessly clean, just as it was when he left.

“Master, you’re back at last. Quickly, look at this!”

As he was inspecting the courtyard, Yin Yue came running excitedly, presenting him with a golden scroll.

“An imperial edict?”

Unfolding the edict, divine majesty permeated the air. As he read the content, Li Cheng’s eyebrows raised almost imperceptibly. “You’ve been granted the position of goddaughter to the head chair—it’s good news, but how did the current emperor know about you?”

Yin Yue shook her head.

Contemplating this, Li Cheng figured out that Yin Yue must have caught the head chair’s eye while being tested with the Demon Suppression Bell, and afterward, he must have sought this edict from the emperor specially.

With this edict, Yin Yue’s status was no longer ordinary.

“Have you met the head chair?” Li Cheng handed back the edict to Yin Yue and asked.

Yin Yue nodded. “My adoptive father has been very kind to me and has instructed me to cultivate well so that I can take over his position in the future.”

Li Cheng was speechless. Was she to inherit the position of the head of the Demon-suppressing Department? Could that position really be inherited?

Shaking his head, Li Cheng didn’t dwell on it. He took out those Array Diagrams, “Come, let’s look at these Array Diagrams.”

Ten Level 1 Array Diagrams and five Level 2 ones, the Array Diagrams selected by Li Cheng were all of fine quality and extremely powerful when deployed.

Li Cheng used his fifteen Enlightenment opportunities to instantly understand these Formations to perfection and began instructing Yin Yue.

Yin Yue was exceptionally perceptive; in just five short months, she had fully grasped all fifteen Formations.

Next, Li Cheng planned to go into seclusion as well. While consuming King Grade Heaven God Pills to enhance his Cultivation, he would also comprehend the Rule of Fire and the Time Law.

The reason I prioritize these two is, naturally, because the Rule of Fire can make Divine Fire stronger, and if there’s enough of the Time Law, it can be used to refine time-related Divine Artifacts.

[Current remaining Enlightenment opportunities: 25475 times.]

Looking at the numerous Enlightenment opportunities, Li Cheng was satisfied and began his closed-door cultivation.

The Laws of the Divine Realm are more than one hundred thousand and eight hundred times more numerous than in the Lower World and are also more active; a single moment of Enlightenment can often grasp several hundred Laws.

After ten whole years, Li Cheng had refined twenty King Grade Heaven God Pills, and his Cultivation finally stepped into the middle phase of the Heaven God State!

And as for the Rule of Fire, it had increased from one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred Laws to seven hundred thousand Laws!

The Time Law had risen from sixty-four thousand eight hundred Laws to two hundred sixty thousand Laws!

Each moment of Enlightenment could comprehend about two hundred Laws, and this was just in a normal environment. If one were to find a place where Laws converged, it’s possible a single moment of Enlightenment could grasp a thousand Laws.

“Popping pills every day, and it took ten years just to advance one minor realm, too slow…” Li Cheng got up, feeling somewhat emotional.

The rate of Cultivation wasn’t fast, but the change in strength was immense.

[Current remaining Enlightenment opportunities: 21825 times.]

After checking his remaining Enlightenment opportunities, Li Cheng didn’t continue with Enlightenment but began to cultivate the White Tiger Seal, preparing to fully refine the White Tiger Essence Blood Bead first before moving on to cultivate the Azure Dragon Seal.

Two months later, after refining the Essence Blood Bead, Li Cheng expanded his Domain and took out the Dragon Corpse.

Although the Dragon Corpse had lost its four claws, the dragon’s might it emitted was still present.

Li Cheng sized up the Dragon Corpse, intending to extract blood from the severed limb joints.

Powerful Divine Power surged into the Dragon Corpse, squeezing out the blood from the severed parts, which Li Cheng then refined with his Divine Fire, condensing the Essence Blood.

“I am already dead, and yet my body must suffer such indignities—unfair, so unfair!”

Suddenly, a deep roar came from within the Dragon Corpse.

Li Cheng was not surprised, for he had realized last time that a Remnant Soul was hidden within the body, probably concealed within the Dragon Ball.

“It could hardly be considered an insult, right? Your Excellency has passed away, and your body can still benefit others. You should be relieved!” Li Cheng casually replied.

“Relieved your grandpa! If you were dead and someone did this to your body, how would you feel?” the voice angrily retorted.

“Benefiting future generations,” Li Cheng responded calmly, not truly considering the other’s perspective.

“Scram, easy for you to say when it doesn’t hurt you. Kid, that’s enough, how much dragon blood do you want to take?”

Li Cheng smiled, “I shall make full use of everything. Of course, I want to take it all. You’re dead, what’s the use of keeping the dragon blood? If it spoils after a while, wouldn’t that be wasteful?”

It was not that Li Cheng intended to anger the Remnant Soul; he was just stating the facts.

As a fine young man from Blue Star, he was brought up to be thrifty—the idea of waste was unacceptable!

Clearly powerless to stop him, and knowing that talking was useless, the Remnant Soul decided to make a proposal: “You’re refining my dragon blood to use the Essence Blood for your cultivation, aren’t you? Know this, the day you encounter the Dragon Clan will be your day of doom.”

Li Cheng shrugged, “Dragons are rare, and the Divine Realm is vast and boundless—it’s unlikely I’ll meet one.”

It was a statement that even sounded insincere to him.

The Remnant Soul floated out to size up Li Cheng, “Do me a favor, and after it’s done, you can do as you please with my corpse. Plus, I’ll condense a Dragon Command for you. With the Dragon Command, other members of the Dragon Clan won’t give you trouble even if they discover you’ve refined dragon blood.”

“Talk properly. What do you mean do as I please? That’s called proper disposition!” Li Cheng said, annoyed.

“Isn’t that the same thing?” the Remnant Soul pondered.

After a pause, without dwelling on the point, the Remnant Soul continued, “Which would you choose? To be hunted and killed by the Dragon Clan, or to handle my corpse openly and with dignity… how you decide?”

Li Cheng looked at the Remnant Soul, “What is it that you want done? Revenge? You, a True God from the Divine Dragon clan, are already dead; I surely can’t avenge you.”

The Remnant Soul rolled its eyes, “What revenge? I killed myself. Are you going to kill me again to avenge me?”

Li Cheng was startled, “A True God committing suicide? What were you thinking? Were you tired of living?”
