Chapter 490: Chapter 365 Dayan Divine Body_1
At that moment, the Holy Scripture of Life and Death suddenly released a powerful black and white light, so intense that it seemed to turn the surrounding world into shades of black and white.
The God Emperor Elder above reacted extremely quickly. With a wave of his hand, the Formation was activated in the square, containing the black and white light within the Formation.
Right after, the black and white light contracted abruptly, and the Holy Scripture of Life and Death shrank to the size of a palm, landing in the hands of Li Cheng, who had appeared at some unknown point.
There were already many people gathered in the square, and at this moment, they all exhibited looks of disbelief!
"The Holy Scripture of Life and Death has been here for who knows how many years, with countless cultivators having entered, yet not a single one has succeeded. How did this Divine Venerable manage to do so?"
"Who is he? How can a cultivator of the Divine Venerable Realm possess such a terrifying aura?"
"Indeed, my father is a cultivator with Complete cultivation of the Divine Venerable Realm, yet his aura is far inferior to his!"
"I truly wonder how he achieved this..."
...
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, the vast majority gazing at Li Cheng with envy.
Having claimed the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, he was now the God Child of the Dayan Divine Sect!
To become the God Child of such a colossal entity as the Dayan Divine Sect was to soar to the heavens—how could anyone not be envious?
Li Cheng ignored the various looks coming from the square and turned his head to the elder floating in the sky, clasping his fists, "Li Cheng of the Confucian Sect, greets the elder!"
"Li Cheng of the Confucian Sect?" The elder\'s eyebrows rose in surprise. "The son of the Confucius Ancestor?"
Li Cheng nodded slightly, "Indeed."
Receiving Li Cheng\'s affirmative answer, the elder became even more astounded, speechless for a long time.
It was quite obvious what he meant: You, the distinguished son of the Confucius Ancestor, came all this way to deal with the Holy Scripture of Life and Death?
"So it is young friend Li Cheng who has graced us with his presence, please do come in!"
Before the elder could speak, a rainbow bridge extended from the depths of the Dayan Divine Sect, reaching directly to the feet of Li Cheng!
This scene stunned everyone present!
The son of the Confucius Ancestor arriving at the Dayan Divine Sect could receive such a high-status greeting?
Even the Sovereign of Origin received such treatment when he arrived in the past!
Li Cheng followed the rainbow bridge and saw that at the end of it, thousands of miles away, stood an elder with an air of immortality, waiting with his hands clasped behind his back.
"The Sect Master of the Dayan Divine Sect personally welcoming him, tsk tsk, the son of the Confucius Ancestor indeed has tremendous prestige!"
"Now that he is the son of the Confucius Ancestor and has obtained the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, will he still become the God Child of the Dayan Divine Sect?"
This question was one that nearly everyone present was curious about.
But no one knew the answer, and nobody knew how the Dayan Divine Sect would decide.
Li Cheng nodded slightly to the Two Venerables of Young and Old in the crowd, then stepped onto the rainbow bridge and walked towards the Sect Master of the Dayan Divine Sect, "I apologize for the intrusion, and hope for your understanding, elder!"
Although Li Cheng had learned from the words of the people present that this elder was the Sect Master of the Dayan Divine Sect, he did not know the elder\'s name.
The face of the Sect Master of the Dayan Divine Sect was filled with a smile, "The last time someone from your sect visited was a hundred thousand years ago, Wen Changqing; and before that, it was three hundred thousand years ago when your venerable father visited. I never expected that after all these years, I would see the son of the Confucius Ancestor, whose reputation shakes the Divine Realm."
Li Cheng maintained a calm expression, but inwardly he was speechless—where was he famous in the Divine Realm? The Sect Master was truly flattering him.
If he really were famous in the Divine Realm, he wouldn\'t be known wherever he went simply as the son of the Confucius Ancestor.
"Oh? So my father and Sixth Senior Brother have both visited before. However, my visitation this time was not on behalf of the Confucian Sect, please understand, elder," said Li Cheng.
"This unworthy one is named Tian Xinghe. I cannot compare in seniority to the Confucius Ancestor, so there\'s no need for the young friend to address me as elder," the Sect Master said with a smile.
A flicker of surprise crossed Li Cheng\'s eyes, and soon after, he replied with a smile, "Drunk, I do not know that the heavens are in the water, a boat full of clear dreams pressing down the stars, Sect Master Tian\'s name is filled with such profound imagery."
Surprise flashed in Tian Xinghe\'s eyes, and after pondering for a few seconds, he laughed and said, "Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Confucian Sect, to speak such a meaningful poem extemporaneously, I am impressed!"
"This is our Dayan Divine Sect\'s Sixth Elder, come, let us proceed to the Guest Hall," Tian Xinghe introduced the elder who hurried over from behind and led the way toward the inner sanctum of the sect.
Once at the Guest Hall, the Dayan Divine Sect had already prepared an assortment of Divine Fruits and Divine Tea. After taking their seats, Tian Xinghe chuckled, "Young friend must have heard about the matter of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, right?"
He was referring, naturally, to whoever could claim the scripture would become the God Child of the Dayan Divine Sect and the master of the scripture.
Li Cheng nodded, "I\'ve heard of it, but to be candid, I\'m not sure if I\'d be considered as having affinity with the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, given that I\'ve taken it by force, if Sect Master Tian wishes to reclaim the scripture, I will hand it over."
Li Cheng knew that Tian Xinghe wouldn\'t take it back, thus he spoke as he did.
As expected, Tian Xinghe smiled, "Being able to claim it, regardless of the method, young friend is already the master of the scripture, why would I take it back?"
After pausing, Tian Xinghe continued, "No one would go against the will of our ancient ancestors."
The Sixth Elder then interjected, "Congratulations to Li Shenzi (God Child Li)!"
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, was he really to become the God Child of the Dayan Divine Sect?
Although the status of a God Child was comparable to that of an Elder, and even granted exceptional privileges, he had no intentions of staying at the Dayan Divine Sect.
After pondering for a few seconds, Li Cheng spoke, "Sect Master Tian, Sixth Elder, I come from the Confucian Sect, and if I truly became the God Child of your sect, I fear it would be difficult for your senior leaders to explain this to their members, and I too would find it difficult to explain to the Confucian Sect. Perhaps it\'s better to leave it be."
