Chapter 160: No Eternal Life?_i

That punch landed on the man, and Li Cheng could clearly sense that his body and the land beneath him seemed to be one!

With this discovery, he knew that if he could comprehend dozens of Earth Rules, he would be able to sever the connection between the man and the earth by using the laws.

As for receiving that punch, the same principle applied, he could use the Earth Rules to unite with the earth himself. With the aid of other laws, he should be able to withstand it.

At present, there were still thirty chances for enlightenment, and one month’s time. He was certain to reach his expectations within the city.

The man turned and disappeared from sight, and all eyes involuntarily turned towards Li Cheng, with Yun Fuxue’s brows slightly furrowed, “Are you really going to do this?”

“Li Cheng, just let it go. We can’t see through the cultivation of this senior. I think at the very least, he’s a Daluo Golden Immortal, and his physical body is terrifyingly powerful. Such a being could destroy a top-grade Immortal Artifact with a single punch!” Feng Wanli persuaded.

“Don’t worry, isn’t there still a month’s time? Wait here for my good news!”

After saying this, Li Cheng directly flew toward the direction of Misty City.

Along the way, all the demon beasts seemed to ignore Li Cheng. Clearly, the mysterious man had passed on orders, and no demon beast would hinder him.

Before long, the powerful gravitational force made it difficult for Li Cheng to maintain flight, and he was forced to land and run at high speed.

With light fog obscuring the view, one couldn’t see too far, and even Immortal Sense was increasingly suppressed and difficult to project out of the body. Now, he could only sense a range of a dozen or so miles.

“This mist is no simple matter; it’s unaffected by the force of tens of thousands of times gravity and can even suppress Immortal Sense. After this matter is resolved, I must investigate it thoroughly!” he thought to himself with gritted teeth.

Finally, a pristine white city wall appeared ten or so miles ahead. Immortal Sense was blocked by the mysterious force emanating from the city wall and couldn’t penetrate it.

Sweeping within a hundred meters of the city wall, Li Cheng marveled, the wall was smooth like jade, seemingly one whole piece!

“This is much more impressive than Tianyuan City. Saying it’s Blunt Empty City, I believe it, and saying it’s been around for hundreds of millions of years, I’d believe that too!” Li Cheng muttered to himself.

“This city wall is condensed with the Earth Rules. As long as the Earth Rules exist between heaven and earth, it will exist forever!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s voice rang out, filled with deep astonishment.

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, surprised, “How many Earth Rules must one comprehend to achieve this?”

The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered for a moment before answering, “Legends of Blunt Empty Venerable also circulate in the Immortal World. People thought he had died of old age, but seeing this city, I suspect he might not be dead!”

“How long is an Immortal Emperor’s lifespan?” Li Cheng asked.

“It varies. It depends on one’s vitality, cultivation technique, race, and so on. Some races, upon reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm, can live for hundreds of millions of years, while others, even as Immortal Emperors, can only live for a million years.”

Li Cheng nodded in understanding, “In any case, there’s no such thing as eternal life?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was taken aback, then chuckled, “It depends on how you look at it. For mortals with but a hundred-year lifespan, a million years may seem like eternity to them. To Immortal Emperors, what they consider eternal life may be an age equal to that of heaven.”

“But even heaven and earth will come to an end, and even the Dao will come to an end. What do you think so-called eternal life is?”

Li Cheng pondered, “In that case, eternal life should transcend heaven and earth, transcend the Dao.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan laughed, “Did you know that there’s always been a legend in the Immortal World that the Immortal Emperor is not the end point, that there are even Deities above it, and even in the history of the Kunlun Realm, there are records of Deities.”

“But even the Deities cannot transcend heaven and earth, cannot transcend the Dao.”

Li Cheng didn’t dwell on it further; contemplating this issue was still premature for him. What was urgent was to enter the city!

Following the city wall, before long, Li Cheng arrived in front of a city gate.

The city gate was wide open, and the moment Li Cheng stepped inside, he felt his body suddenly heavy as if weighed down by a great mountain!

“Indeed, once inside the city, gravity instantaneously reached a million times normal!”

The surging gravity field required him to slowly adapt.

No wonder the mysterious man said his subordinates wouldn’t stop me, as long as I could enter the city.

This is merely stepping into the outer city!

Contrary to Li Cheng’s expectations, the outer city was not composed of densely packed buildings like those of mortals, but sparse ancient woods, just like the outside!

The ancient woods here were not tall, yet they exuded a substantial aura; every branch and leaf felt unbreakable.

In the woods lived many demon beasts from the Immortal Realm, and Li Cheng even saw the Hidden Earth Dragon from before!

“To live here, the physical bodies of these demon beasts must have been strengthened to an extremely formidable degree, impervious to ordinary Immortal Artifacts,” remarked Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.

Li Cheng nodded, having had a profound experience of this himself.

“Senior, if we were to take these demon beasts out of the Misty Forest, would they not all possess the strength to fight across realms?” Li Cheng suddenly asked.

“Perhaps, you’ll know if you try when you have the chance,” chuckled Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.

Li Cheng smiled, for he was only speaking off the cuff and had no intention of actually doing so.

After traveling for a hundred miles, the gravity had already exceeded two million times. White jade-like city walls appeared ahead, clearly marking the arrival of the Inner City!

Just approaching the walls, Li Cheng felt an oppressive force that made it difficult to breathe. To enter the city, he would need to first acclimate for some time.

With this in mind, Li Cheng sat down cross-legged in front of the city gate, beginning his Enlightenment!

“Eh? This young fellow entered the state of Enlightenment so easily, truly extraordinary!” exclaimed the voice of the mysterious man.

“Tian Yuan, I’ve given you face, isn’t it time for you to show yourself?” the mysterious man continued.

The ethereal figure of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan floated out, smiling at the mysterious man, “So many years have passed, and you still haven’t hidden your dragon horns? Afraid that others won’t know you’re from the Dragon Clan?”

The mysterious man looked at Immortal Emperor Tianyuan and heaved a sigh, “To think that after so many years, you’re left with just a Remnant Soul.”

“It’s not so bad, it’s nothing serious,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said with a smile.

“Not so bad? Have you completed all your tasks? Where’s your fighting spirit?” frowned the mysterious man.

The smile on Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s face froze for a moment, but then he recovered quickly, “Let’s not talk about me, what about you? Guarding this place for more than a hundred thousand years, don’t you want to return to the Dragon Clan?”

“What for? With impure blood, going back would just be a joke; I’m better off dutifully guarding here, waiting for Grand Venerable Bai Jie to return.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan sighed silently, “This doesn’t sound like you, Ao Qianchi.”

Ao Qianchi shook his head with a smile and changed the subject, “What do you think, can this young fellow withstand my punch in a month’s time?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan replied teasingly, “Do you think that’s possible?”

“But whether he can withstand it or not is still up to you!”

The implication was clear, if you go easy, Li Cheng could withstand it.

Ao Qianchi also smiled, “Then how much power do you think I should use?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered and then suggested, “One thousandth should do!”

“All right, as you wish!”

“Don’t put on an act of giving me face. His future achievements will not be inferior to those of Grand Venerable Bai Jie. Once he grows up, he will be able to help you,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan chuckled.
