Chapter 426: Chapter 334: The Phenomenon Caused by the Breakthrough_2
“`
Upon breaking through to the Divine Venerable Realm, a celebration by heaven and earth would manifest, varying in scale, but when such a breakthrough caused resonance throughout the entire Divine Realm, it would lead to a Heaven and Earth Baptism.
In the sky, auspicious clouds gathered into a vortex, from which a vast power poured down like a column of light, descending straight onto Mansion Venerable City and enveloping the entire island.
Li Cheng, situated at the center of the column, felt every pore in his body open, greedily absorbing the power of the baptism. His recently advanced cultivation became stable in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, this power of baptism seemed to penetrate everywhere, filling up Blunt Empty Residence and the several Mysterious Heavy Houses!
The disciples of Blunt Empty Residence, the Five Elements Great Emperor, Ao Jiugai, Ao Qing, Er Shou, and others all greatly benefited from the baptism!
Within the Mysterious Heavy House, where the confidants of Blunt Empty Venerable, including Ninety Thousand Miles, were cultivating, the same was true for them!
So goes the saying, “When one man attains the Dao, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.” It was exactly like this!
Within the Confucian Sect, Wu Ya was beside himself with excitement, “He’s broken through! A phenomenon sweeping across the entire Divine Realm has been triggered!”
“Don’t be so excited, with such a big commotion, I fear the Evil Demons can no longer restrain themselves and will disregard the bilateral agreement they set before!” A Divine Venerable frowned beside Wu Ya.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Will our Human Tribe be scared of them?” Wu Ya replied.
The person was about to speak when, from the depths of the Confucian Sect, a series of heart-palpitating powers surged out.
Wu Ya’s expression stiffened, then turned solemn, “The Divine Emperors have made their move. They are fighting the Evil Demon’s Divine Emperors across the distance!”
He was well aware that the simultaneous action of several Divine Emperors from the Confucian Sect meant many Divine Emperors had also taken action on the side of the Evil Demons.
His disciple’s breakthrough to the Divine Venerable Realm actually provoked the Warborne Divine Emperors of the Evil Demons to break the agreement and make their move? This was something he had never anticipated!
Over at the Land Puppet Mansion, Light Destroying Heaven Venerable had appeared in front of Blunt Empty Venerable and others at some point, and calmly said, “Blunt Empty, activate the city’s protective formation at full power!”
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable stood with his hands behind his back, gaze fixed upon the sky as if he could see through space to an endless distant place.
“Activate the formation!”
Without asking further questions, Blunt Empty Venerable waved his hand, and divine power surged through one hundred and eight cities. Light shields appeared, wrapping around the cities. The power of these shields merged with one another to form an enormous canopy that shrouded all the cities within it.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable stretched out his right hand, with Haoran Justice Air swirling in his palm, “Heaven wishes for snow, clouds fill the lake, pavilions flicker as mountains exist and vanish…”
A great character flew from his palm into the void, turning into an invisible force that enveloped heaven and earth. Faint sounds of roaring could be heard, obviously indicating he had repelled several of the invading Evil Demons.
On the island, Li Cheng was lifted off the ground by an invisible force, his body seemingly turned into a vortex, voraciously absorbing the vast power into himself.
As more and more power entered his body, Li Cheng’s cultivation had actually reached the mid-stage of the Divine Venerable Realm!
And at this moment, a seal deep within Li Cheng’s soul loosened!
Li Cheng, sensing something, harnessed the power of the baptism to strike at the seal!
Hum!
Indeed, a crack appeared in the seal. At the same time, fragments of memories flooded into his mind!
Li Cheng processed the memories emerging in his mind, preparing to continue striking with the power of the baptism, but unfortunately, the power had begun to wane, and the seal was healing itself!
Li Cheng furrowed his brow, for the memories that had appeared were not many and seemingly unrelated to the fragment that had emerged previously.
The memories that surfaced this time depicted him playing chess with two men.
One of the men was instantly recognizable as Light Destroying Heaven Venerable, whom he had just recently met!
The other was none other than Grand Venerable Bai Jie!
In the memory, Light Destroying Heaven Venerable and Grand Venerable Bai Jie were playing chess, while he himself sat quietly by their side, watching.
Grand Venerable Bai Jie had a smile on his face, “Seventh Senior Brother, you’ve lost!”
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable sighed, swept the chess pieces off the board with his sleeve, “A bet’s a bet. I’ll stay behind as agreed, don’t worry about me, Eighth Junior Brother!”
Grand Venerable Bai Jie’s smile deepened as he looked at Li Cheng, “Junior Brother, I’ll go ahead. I’ll wait for you in the Lower World!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Grand Venerable Bai Jie assumed a position with both hands pointing upward, and a light flew from his forehead, disappearing without a trace.
His body rapidly petrified.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable looked on enviously at Grand Venerable Bai Jie’s actions, then shook his head slightly and turned to Li Cheng, “Junior Brother, let’s play some chess!”
“`
At this point, the memory cut off.
Li Cheng felt bewildered. Despite leveraging the Heaven and Earth Baptism, he couldn’t break the seal, so what exactly was hidden within his soul?
The last time the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns emerged, it showed the division of his own soul, but no more information.
And this time, it had actually revealed to Li Cheng that Light Destroying Heaven Venerable and Grand Venerable Bai Jie were his senior brothers!
Mulling over that brief memory, Li Cheng was impressed. It seemed that his connections were quite significant!
Since Light Destroying Heaven Venerable was his senior brother, that confirmed his association with the Confucian Sect, and possibly even with Confucius Ancestor!
Confucius Ancestor had many disciples. Li Cheng didn’t know them all, but those he currently knew of included the Demon Suppression Emperor, Light Destroying Heaven Venerable, Grand Venerable Bai Jie, and the Saintess.
“No wonder I was able to obtain the Four Spirit Seal within the Demon Suppression Bell; the Demon Suppression Emperor is the oldest disciple of Confucius Ancestor. It seems that it was because I am his junior brother!”
“And the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns from Confucius Ancestor wasn’t given to me by Yun Fuxue casually but for some purpose.”
As for Grand Venerable Bai Jie, according to the memory, he had played a game of strategy with Light Destroying Heaven Venerable, won, and then used some secret technique, saying he would go to the Lower World to wait for Li Cheng.
Now it seemed more like he had gone to the Lower World to pave the way for Li Cheng.
Unfortunately, the emerging memories were scant, and he couldn’t figure out everything, with only limited deductions to make.
As he contemplated, the unusual phenomena between heaven and earth began to subside.
Li Cheng came back to his senses and turned his gaze towards Heaven Puppet City. With a step, he disregarded those Formations and appeared in front of Blunt Empty Venerable and the others.
Seeing Li Cheng’s instantaneous arrival, everyone was astonished. Despite the activation of the Formations, he could still perform Instantaneous Movement?
Blunt Empty Venerable’s face was full of surprise and was about to speak when he saw Li Cheng bow to Light Destroying Heaven Venerable and tentatively said, “Seventh Senior Brother?”
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable was taken aback, a look of astonishment crossing his face as he examined Li Cheng. In suspicion, he asked, “Divine Venerable mid-stage, shouldn’t have broken the seal, how much have you recovered?”
He was well aware of the seal’s strength, so he surmised that Li Cheng had only broken through a part of it.
Li Cheng smiled and didn’t speak, it seemed the memories were accurate!
Seeing this, Light Destroying Heaven Venerable also smiled, “It looks like you’ve recovered very little. You’ll have to work hard, and don’t bother asking your senior brother about it; I won’t tell you!”
Li Cheng frowned but didn’t say much more, as the memories were too sparse, and he didn’t know how to interact with his Seventh Senior Brother.
“Go to the Confucian Sect! The disturbance caused by your breakthrough has affected the entire Divine World, and the Evil Demons on their end have become restless!” Light Destroying Heaven Venerable added.
While speaking, Light Destroying Heaven Venerable turned his head towards the others, his eyes suddenly shining with alternating light and darkness.
The next second, everyone became dazed.
“I’ve cleaned their memories, they won’t remember our conversation, brother. You go get prepared; I’ll come to fetch you in a bit.” Light Destroying Heaven Venerable said.
Li Cheng was shocked. Among them were several Divine Venerables, and Blunt Empty Venerable in particular was a complete Divine Venerable, yet his memories were simply cleansed by his Seventh Senior Brother?
Just how strong was his Seventh Senior Brother’s cultivation?
And what about the oldest senior brother, the Demon Suppression Emperor, and Eighth Senior Brother, Grand Venerable Bai Jie? How strong were they?
Before Li Cheng could say more, and without seeing any action from his Seventh Senior Brother, the scenery before Li Cheng shifted, and in an instant, he was back on the small island.
Li Cheng was even more astonished. Even with control over more than nine hundred million threads of the Space Law, he hadn’t noticed Seventh Senior Brother employing any spatial techniques on him!
Was this the terror of a Divine Emperor?
After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Cheng decided to heed his Seventh Senior Brother’s advice and go with him to the Confucian Sect!
Since he originated from the Confucian Sect, he was sure to learn more information there.
Perhaps it was Confucius Ancestor himself who had assisted with the division of his soul!
“Confucius Ancestor, you must have been my master before my soul was divided,” Li Cheng thought to himself.
To go to the Confucian Sect, he just needed to take Blunt Empty Residence with him.
It was just as well—he could look up information related to the Divine World while at the Confucian Sect. It was about time to construct the Divine World.
