Chapter 400: Chapter 321 Chaotic Time-Space Lotus_2
What exactly had Master encountered?
Before Li Cheng could ponder further, Blunt Empty Venerable and the Dragon Emperor had already come to greet him. Seeing Li Cheng, they both breathed a sigh of relief—he had finally returned safely!
However, upon seeing Wu Ya, the joy on their faces turned to ecstasy, and they exclaimed in unison, “Nine Star Brother!”
What?
Li Cheng was stunned. Nine Star?
Nine Star Great Emperor?
Wu Ya glanced at Li Cheng, a bit helpless. He had blundered by forgetting to remind the two through a transmitted message. Now, Li Cheng was going to find out.
Clearing his throat, Wu Ya chuckled, “All that is in the past. Blunt Empty Brother, Brother Ao, you can just call me Wu Ya!”
Li Cheng looked at Wu Ya. “Master, are you the Nine Star Great Emperor, ranked fifth among the ten extraordinary figures? You’ve kept this from me so well—I was even preparing to introduce these two seniors to you!”
“Oh? Li Cheng is the disciple of Nine Star Brother? Truly a case of ‘a great teacher produces an outstanding student’!” Blunt Empty Venerable said with a smile.
Wu Ya shook his head and chuckled, “It’s a long story. I’ve heard some bits from Xiaocheng; how are things now?”
Li Cheng wasn’t paying attention to the conversation anymore; his mind was preoccupied with his master’s affairs.
His master turned out to be the Nine Star Great Emperor, something Li Cheng could have never imagined.
Back in the Immortal World at the Confucian Sect, the Bone Clan who were being suppressed had once impersonated the Nine Star Great Emperor, but Li Cheng had seen through them.
Who could have thought that his own master was the Nine Star Great Emperor?
The Nine Star Great Emperor practiced the Nine Turned Star Brilliance Jue and had reincarnated nine times, with the ninth reincarnation occurring at the end of the previous era, one or two hundred million years before Blunt Empty Venerable and the Dragon Emperor.
His master must be from the ninth reincarnation!
Yet, during his time at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, his master had been known as Ten Tribulations Wuya, a rare Tribulation Loose Immortal of that era. What was that all about?
Was it a manifestation of his master’s?
Or was it his master’s original body?
Later on, being swept into the Long River of Time—was that genuinely being caught in it, or was it a deliberate tactic left by his master to reach the God Realm in a short time?
And what about his master’s words that Li Cheng had saved him once again? How should that be interpreted?
A plethora of doubts filled Li Cheng’s mind.
“Xiaocheng, what your Blunt Empty Uncle Master said is right. You should go back first!” At that moment, Wu Ya’s words pulled Li Cheng back to reality.
Li Cheng was speechless; he hadn’t heard what they had been talking about.
And now, Senior Blunt Empty had become Uncle Master Blunt Empty.
Indeed, it was fitting, since all of them addressed each other as brothers; Li Cheng indeed had to start calling Blunt Empty Senior as Uncle Master.
“That’s right, Li Cheng. As long as you are in Fu City, whatever turmoil occurs outside is of no concern,” the Dragon Emperor said.
Li Cheng nodded in understanding, then turned to Blunt Empty Venerable and said, “Uncle Master Blunt Empty, one of the Divine Emperors from the Pill Hall is an Evil Demon spy, located among the Divine Emperors present during my alchemy session.”
Blunt Empty Venerable’s brows rose. “I wouldn’t believe it if someone said there were no Evil Demon spies in the Pill Hall. However, how did you narrow it down to those Divine Emperors who were there?”
Li Cheng recounted the incident of his and Leida infiltrating the Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area to Blunt Empty Venerable, who, along with the others, now understood the situation perfectly.
After pondering for a few seconds, Blunt Empty Venerable said, “If it’s just a Divine Emperor Realm spy in the Pill Hall, that’s manageable. I could find a reason to temporarily reassign them, but the problem is if there are spies at the Divine King level hiding among them, or elsewhere. If they make a move against you, that would be unfortunate.”
Pausing for a moment, Blunt Empty Venerable continued, “Nevermind, I will first seal off Mansion Venerable City to prevent anyone from entering and disturbing you. Once the Evil Demon is repelled, they will certainly make their next move, and the spies will naturally reveal themselves.”
Wu Ya looked at Li Cheng, then at Blunt Empty Venerable, “Don’t worry. Xiaocheng’s combat power is not weaker than a Divine King’s. Unless a Divine Emperor takes action, he will not be in any danger.”
Li Cheng was at a loss for words. His own master was rather bold to say that.
But he was telling the truth; Li Cheng was about to breakthrough to the Divine King Realm, and then even the full-strength Divine Kings would be no match for him.
Thinking this, Li Cheng nodded. He would return and focus on his cultivation to improve his strength!
Wu Ya took out the Eight Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod, reached into it, and with the power of Space surged, he condensed a light sphere and handed it to Li Cheng, “The Divine Medicine is sealed within. Take it with you.”
Li Cheng had no idea what Divine Medicine it was, but his master had previously instructed him not to entertain the thought of using it until his cultivation was sufficient, suggesting it wasn’t an ordinary Divine Medicine.
“Then we’ll bring it back first and put it into the Blunt Empty Residence when the time comes, refining it at the appropriate moment.”
Upon returning to Mansion Venerable City, Li Cheng headed straight for the small island.
Entering the Blunt Empty Residence, Li Cheng took out the Divine Medicine that was sealed within a sphere of light, but as soon as he did, the Divine Medicine released a powerful time fluctuation, shattering the seal!
Li Cheng quickly retreated, only to see the Divine Medicine turn into a rainbow of light that dashed towards the edge of the Blunt Empty Residence, too fast to be seen clearly!
“What kind of Divine Medicine is this? Could it have developed Spiritual Wisdom?” Li Cheng thought in surprise. Although it was just a casual seal by his master, breaking it would surely not be easy, but the Divine Medicine had shattered it just by releasing a time fluctuation, demonstrating its strength.
Li Cheng hurriedly followed and arrived at the edge of the Blunt Empty Residence, to find Ao Jiugai with his eyes wide open, “What went in there?”
“You didn’t see it either?” Li Cheng asked.
Ao Jiugai shook his head, “It was too fast, I only felt the time fluctuation, what was it?”
Li Cheng chuckled dryly, “A Divine Medicine given to me by my master, I also don’t know what exactly it is.”
White fog lay ahead, the Divine Medicine had already flown into it and disappeared without a trace.
Ao Jiugai glanced at Li Cheng, “The fact that it can penetrate the chaos within indicates the Divine Medicine is no ordinary matter, but what does it mean by running into it? What attracted it?”
A thought struck Li Cheng; previously, he had dug out a Chaos Divine Turtle shell, and later learned from the Blunt Empty Venerable that it was the Beast Core of the Chaos Divine Turtle, who had also said there must be other things inside. Could it be that the Divine Medicine was attracted by something within?
With this in mind, Li Cheng looked towards Ao Jiugai, “Senior Ao, please excavate in the direction it went!”
Over the years, Ao Jiugai had been nibbling away at chaos in circles rather than digging in one direction, so the Blunt Empty Residence had been expanding in an orderly fashion.
Ao Jiugai pondered, “I’m afraid that won’t work because based on what you said, that would mean digging a tunnel through the chaos, but the surrounding chaos would fill it back in, making it pointless.”
Li Cheng nodded, “Therefore, while digging, we must also use the power of space to fix the tunnel we’ve made, preventing the surrounding chaos from filling it back in.”
Ao Jiugai rolled his eyes, “The space power I wield is limited, it probably won’t help. How about I dig, and you fix it?”
Li Cheng thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Next, Ao Jiugai, for the sake of efficiency, shrunk his body to a hundred zhang and began nibbling away bite by bite.
Li Cheng stood behind Ao Jiugai, continuously using the Space Law to stabilize the tunnel that Ao Jiugai was carving out.
Several days passed, and they had dug a tunnel a hundred li long, the time fluctuations ahead growing stronger and stronger!
Besides time fluctuations, there were also space fluctuations!
“That Divine Medicine emits time fluctuations, how could it be attracted by something emitting space fluctuations? Quite bizarre!” Ao Jiugai couldn’t help but say.
“We’ll find out soon!”
In the anticipation of Li Cheng and Ao Jiugai, two gentle beams of light appeared in the dense fog ahead, and through the fog, one could vaguely see that they were two lotuses!
Ao Jiugai nibbled away a few more zhang, and finally, they could clearly see the two lotuses!
Ao Jiugai’s eyes widened, “Isn’t this the legendary Time Divine Lotus that grows in the Long River of Time? Did your master go to the Long River of Time?”
Li Cheng was also full of surprise, “That’s not the point; the point is that there’s also a Space Divine Lotus here! Legend has it that when the Time Divine Lotus and the Space Divine Lotus are together, they merge into a pair of conjoined lotuses. I never expected the legend to be true!”
In front of them, the roots of Time Divine Lotus and Space Divine Lotus had already grown together, indeed forming a pair of conjoined lotuses!
After their fusion, they became the unique Chaotic Time-Space Lotus in the world!
Ao Jiugai opened his dragon mouth wide, “This has turned into the legendary Chaotic Time-Space Lotus; what should we do? I fear even a Divine Emperor would be unable to refine it.”
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Li Cheng said, “What should we do? Of course, we cultivate near it!”
The Chaotic Time-Space Lotus, containing complete Time Law and Space Law, would be immensely beneficial even if one merely cultivated nearby, without needing to refine it.
Of course, they indeed lacked the strength to refine it.
The Chaotic Time-Space Lotus stood ten zhang high, the two lotuses were not yet blooming, but like great bells, they emitted fluctuations of time and space respectively.
Moreover, the Chaotic Time-Space Lotus was quickly absorbing Chaos Qi, much faster than the rate at which Ao Jiugai was nibbling away. If one day the double lotuses bloomed, they would surely bring tremendous benefits!
Once the lotus seeds matured in the future, they could well be the top Divine Medicines in the Divine Realm.
Pushing down the shock in his heart, Li Cheng smiled and said, “Senior Ao, within eighteen zhang of the Chaotic Time-Space Lotus is a holy land for cultivation. Please clear away the Chaos Qi!”
