Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend!-Chapter 384 - 313 Two Divine Beasts Have Arrived!_2
Chapter 384: Chapter 313 Two Divine Beasts Have Arrived!_2
Li Cheng’s eyes brightened, someone familiar was finally here!
Was it the Five Elements Great Emperor, or the Grand Venerable Bai Jie?
Anyway, it shouldn’t be any of those disciples, the laws they comprehend probably haven’t reached completion yet, unable to provoke the Divine Tribulation.
With this in mind, Li Cheng tried asking, “From the Elf Tribe?”
Blunt Empty Venerable looked at Li Cheng somewhat unexpectedly, then nodded, “Correct, that young girl was lucky, she ascended right to the eastern side of Earth Sha City, where the patrolling City Guard discovered her and reported the situation promptly. By now, she should have already entered Strong Earth City.”
Ascenders, in the eyes of the major powers of the Divine Realm, were simply treasures.
Once an ascender was discovered, they would naturally be recruited immediately.
Even Blunt Empty Venerable was no exception, but he had not expected that it would be someone who ascended from the Kunlun Immortal Realm.
A fellow countryman!
“Then it must be the Five Elements Great Emperor, my Array Path began with her,” Li Cheng said with a smile.
Surprise flickered in the eyes of Blunt Empty Venerable; if that was the case, the array mastery of the newly ascended elf was also extremely strong!
“Senior may not know, the Kunlun Realm has created a list of the Top Ten Remarkable People, ranked according to the time of emergence. Those who enter the list are all legendary figures from Kunlun’s history. Senior ranks eighth, while the Five Elements Great Emperor is a peerless individual from ten million years ago, ranking ninth!” Li Cheng added.
Blunt Empty Venerable fell silent for a moment before speaking, “Our Kunlun has been eternal for countless ages, and there have been many legendary figures throughout its history. Who made this list? Isn’t it nonsensical? How could I be qualified?”
Li Cheng laughed without commenting. Stop being so modest, senior; in the Divine Realm, you are one of the Venerables of the One hundred and eight mansions!
At this moment, Blunt Empty Venerable’s gaze shifted beyond the lake, “They’ve arrived!”
“Reporting to the Venerable Mansion, the ascender has been brought here!” Outside the lake, a general clad in armor saluted respectfully. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Li Cheng and Blunt Empty Venerable both rose to their feet, with the latter saying, “Girl, come over here!”
Li Cheng’s expression became a bit strange. To Blunt Empty Venerable, indeed, the Five Elements Great Emperor was just a young girl…
The Five Elements Great Emperor floated over, her face beaming with joy. She glanced at Li Cheng and then bowed respectfully to Blunt Empty Venerable, “Junior Xingye pays respects to the Venerable Mansion!”
Blunt Empty Venerable waved his hand dismissively, “What Venerable Mansion? Just an old man named Blunt Empty. I come from Kunlun, just like you.”
A look of surprise appeared on the strikingly beautiful and fair face of the Five Elements Great Emperor as she exclaimed, “Blunt Empty Venerable!”
Blunt Empty Venerable couldn’t help but glance at Li Cheng. This reaction was just like Li Cheng’s!
“Empress, long time no see!” Li Cheng said with a smile.
The Five Elements Great Emperor gave a mocking smile. With a flip of her hand, two divine beasts appeared, “Did you forget about them when you ascended?”
“Ha-ha, boss!” The two divine beasts darted to Li Cheng’s side, rubbing affectionately against his robe.
These two divine beasts were none other than the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and the Mole!
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow and patted the two creatures, then cleared his throat, “When I ascended, it happened to be the opening of an ancient battlefield. Thinking to leave them to assist those disciples, I didn’t bring them along. Thank you, Great Emperor!”
The expression of the Five Elements Great Emperor became even more mocking, her eyes seemingly saying that Li Cheng simply hadn’t known divine beasts could be brought to the Divine Realm!
Indeed, Li Cheng hadn’t known and had simply left them behind.
“Interesting, Kunlun actually has a Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle? And this is a combination of the bloodlines of a God-devouring Rat and a Treasure Hunting Rat?” Blunt Empty Venerable observed the two beasts, clicking his tongue in wonder.
Both beasts prostrated themselves, “Paying respects to Blunt Empty Senior!”
“Venerable Mansion, the Saintess of the Confucian Sect requests an audience!” The general called out from outside the lake.
Blunt Empty Venerable nodded his head and looked at Li Cheng and the others, “Talk amongst yourselves, I’ll be back shortly.”
As the sound of his voice faded, Blunt Empty Venerable had already disappeared.
“Empress, how are my disciples and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect doing now?” Li Cheng asked eagerly.
The Five Elements Great Emperor smiled, “I knew you’d ask. Rest assured, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is now the leading power. Countless cultivators take pride in joining it, and countless forces are proud to be its affiliates.”
“As for your disciples, the fastest would ascend in a hundred years, the slowest in five hundred years at most.”
Relieved by the answer, Li Cheng exhaled; in at most five hundred years, all his disciples would gather in the Divine Realm!
As for the Grand Venerable Bai Jie, Li Cheng didn’t ask, since when Ling Xi ascended, he was sure to follow.
“Who could have thought, you would be with the legendary Blunt Empty Venerable, and your cultivation… I can’t perceive its depth anymore,” the Five Elements Great Emperor remarked with emotion.
“I’ve only just arrived a while ago, I wasn’t around here for the past several centuries, and only learned that the Venerable Mansion was Blunt Empty Venerable not long ago.”
The Five Elements Great Emperor nodded, “The eleven remarkable individuals, those ahead of you must have been colossal figures, but it’s a pity not many of them are still alive.”
“The Eleven Great Eccentrics? Wasn’t it the Ten Great Eccentrics?” Li Cheng wondered.
“The last one is you, who in the Kunlun Immortal Realm doesn’t know by now?” Five Elements Great Emperor said with a smile.
Li Cheng felt a little embarrassed, reacting exactly as Blunt Empty Venerable had when he heard about the Ten Great Eccentrics.
“Boss, there are statues of you all over the Kunlun Realm. Many powers hold their opening ceremonies and must worship you first. How impressive!” Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle spoke.
“Exactly, even the mortal world has built many temples dedicated to you, and the incense burns prosperously!” the Mole chimed in.
Li Cheng frowned. What’s going on? Wasn’t this too exaggerated?
He seemed not to have done anything that significant. So why was he so revered?
Could it really be that in one’s absence, one becomes a legend?
Well, unable to return, let them do as they please!
“Empress, please take a seat!” Coming back to his senses, Li Cheng said with a smile.
“Now that you’re a senior, don’t call me ‘Empress’ anymore, just call me by my name!” Five Elements Great Emperor said with a laugh.
It’s normal for the achiever to take precedence.
But having to change his way of addressing her was not easy for Li Cheng to adapt to.
Once seated, the two of them and the two beasts continued to discuss matters of the Kunlun Realm. From time to time, Li Cheng also introduced them to the Divine Realm, but soon realized that the Five Elements Great Emperor’s knowledge of the Divine Realm was not lower than his own.
This was somewhat puzzling.
However, it wasn’t quite appropriate for Li Cheng to inquire; probably the general they met on the way here had briefed her!
Several hours passed, and Blunt Empty Venerable returned, still smiling.
After he took his seat, Blunt Empty Venerable handed a storage ring to Li Cheng and said with a smile, “Take good care of this item; it will be of great use to you!”
Li Cheng looked puzzled, but was astonished to find two hundred top-grade Divine Veins placed inside!
“Senior, this is too valuable. This should be placed in the city, not given to me.” Li Cheng handed back the storage ring.
Blunt Empty Venerable waved his hand, “Give it to Ao Jiugai, he will be of great benefit to you as he grows stronger.”
Seeing Blunt Empty Venerable insist, Li Cheng had no choice but to accept it.
Truthfully, he too wanted to find more Divine Veins for Ao Jiugai to devour; the stronger he became, the stronger the Original Divine Qi he could provide.
But accepting such a gift from Blunt Empty Venerable felt somehow inappropriate to Li Cheng.
Since Blunt Empty Venerable insisted, Li Cheng could only plan to repay the favor later.
Little did he know, at this moment Blunt Empty Venerable was filled with doubts because these top-grade Divine Veins were not a gift from him; he was just passing them along!
“Why would the Saintess of the Confucian Sect give so many top-grade Divine Veins to Li Cheng? Could it be that Li Cheng really has something to do with the Demon Suppression Emperor? Is the Saintess acting on behalf of the Demon Suppression Emperor?” Blunt Empty Venerable pondered.
“But Li Cheng said he has no connection with the Demon Suppression Emperor and wasn’t lying… I see, it seems there is a connection after all, it’s just that he doesn’t know it himself!”
With this realization, Blunt Empty Venerable felt enlightened and lifted his cup to take a sip of tea.
“Xingye, being new to the Divine Realm, you must not have a cultivation technique yet. I’ve brought this one. Have a look and see if it suits you.”
Blunt Empty Venerable took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Five Elements Great Emperor.
Li Cheng had already tossed the storage ring into Blunt Empty Residence. Without needing to tell him, Ao Jiugai was already starting to devour its contents.
As Five Elements Great Emperor examined the cultivation technique, Li Cheng turned to Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, “I’ll send you to Blunt Empty Residence, there’s a shell of Chaos Divine Turtle in there, it should be of great use to you.”
“Boss, stop joking. Chaos Divine Turtle isn’t a species but unique; it’s not possible to just get its shell. It must be some other turtle!” Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said.
“Do you want it?” Li Cheng asked.
Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle stretched its neck and flexed, “Of course I do. How could I not accept something from the boss?”
Li Cheng was speechless and threw it into Blunt Empty Residence.
“Boss, what about me?” the Mole’s eyes shone brightly.
Li Cheng pondered, “You’re a Treasure Hunting Rat, do you worry about treasures? We’ll find them slowly in the future!”
Like the shell of the Chaos Divine Turtle, such treasures were not something one could have just for the asking.
Before the Mole could say more, Li Cheng took out a storage ring and said, “However, there won’t be a shortage of Divine Pills; cultivate well!”
