Chapter 450: Chapter 346: Knocking On The Dragon Clan?_1
“Is there truly such a thing as eternal life?”
Li Cheng murmured to himself. To mortals, living a hundred years is already longevity, but to his master, even the hundred billion-year lifespan of a Divine Emperor is not eternal life.
What he sought was immortality, the everlasting.
But did such an existence really exist?
Even the heavens and earth have a day of destruction!
“Your master, having seen much and known a great deal, might have touched upon the secrets of eternal life, which is probably why he holds such an obsession.” The Confucius Ancestor said.
“How does my father regard eternal life?” asked Li Cheng.
The Confucius Ancestor shook his head with a smile, “How old are you? With seventy or eighty billion years of lifespan left, you’re asking about eternal life?”
“Just curious,” Li Cheng said with a smile.
The Confucius Ancestor patted Li Cheng’s shoulder, “To mortals, Immortals are eternal. To Immortals, are not the Deities also eternal? Your master once was the Space-Time Divine Ancestor, with cultivation unmatched in his era, yet he still couldn’t escape the fate of aging and death.”
“So in the eyes of a Divine Emperor, eternal life should be everlasting, existing even if the heavens and earth perish.”
The Confucius Ancestor did not explicitly state his opinion, but the implication was very clear, his view of eternal life was the same as other Divine Emperors’.
The topic changed as the Confucius Ancestor continued, “Do you think the Order of Heaven and Earth would allow your master to pursue the kind of eternal life he seeks?”
Li Cheng nodded, naturally, it would not be permitted. That’s why, in the history of the Divine Realm, there had never been anyone who achieved eternal life, at least to his knowledge.
To seek eternal life, one would probably have to transcend this heaven and earth and search elsewhere, just like his master did.
“Everyone has the chance to strive for their dreams; I hope master succeeds,” Li Cheng said.
The Confucius Ancestor took out the Eight Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod, “This was left to you by your master. Keep it. Its origins are untraceable; you can decide what to do with it!”
The Eight Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod and the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod were of the same origin. When put together, they exhibited a strong desire to merge. Initially, master said to go back to the Confucian Sect to check, but it seems nothing was discovered.
Packing away the Eight Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod, Li Cheng wondered, “Our Confucian Sect has no records, which indicates that this Tripod is extremely ancient. I’ll research it when I have time.”
The Confucius Ancestor nodded and changed the subject, “That part of your soul went to an interesting world, tell me about it?”
Upon mentioning Huaxia, Li Cheng couldn’t help but smile.
Half a month later, those who had marched to the Outer Great Wall returned, with the Confucius Ancestor arriving at the location of the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism with the Chess King, the Literature Saint, Emperor Wen, and Grand Venerable Bai Jie.
The Demon Suppression Emperor and the Queen Qing had both gone to explore outside the domain.
The Confucius Ancestor merged with his split form, and then returned the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism to its original place.
“Junior brother!”
Upon seeing Li Cheng, all his senior brothers greeted him warmly.
Li Cheng greeted each in turn, “I pay respects to all senior brothers!”
“Junior brother, your cultivation has advanced much more fiercely than before. I am both impressed and envious!” Emperor Wen approached, his massive frame akin to a small hill. It was hard to believe that such a physique belonged to the renowned Emperor Wen of the Divine Realm.
One would think he was a physical cultivator instead.
After catching up for a while, Emperor Wen said to the Confucius Ancestor, “Master, even the Evil Demon exerted great effort this time, but the Monster Race remained silent. We probably need to give them a knock!”
The power of the Monster Race was not weaker than that of the Human Tribe, yet they did not participate in the battle at the Great Wall, which displeased everyone.
The Divine Realm was not just the realm of the Human Tribe and Evil Demons. The indifferent attitude of the Monster Race was indeed too much!
Now that the Human Tribe had the Confucius Ancestor, a Half-Step Supreme, and the Sovereign of Origin was close to emerging, the Human Tribe had a solid foundation. Disciplining the Monster Race, no weaker than their own, was naturally no problem.
Grand Venerable Bai Jie was the first to agree, “The Monster Race is headed by the Dragon Clan. Without the Demon Emperor’s participation, it must have been the Dragon Clan’s decision. Master, I’ll go visit the Dragon Clan!”
The Chess King, glinting with black and white in his eyes, said, “Sixth brother and eighth brother are right. The Dragon Clan always claims neutrality but often meddles secretly with both us and the Evil Demons. They’re clearly trying to intensify the conflict between our Human Tribe and the Evil Demons, hoping to benefit as a fisherman watches the fight.”
“If it wasn’t so improper to ally with the Evil Demons, I’d even think we should join forces with them to pay the Dragon Clan a visit.”
The Confucius Ancestor waved his hand to interrupt everyone, his gaze shifting to Li Cheng, “This trip to the Dragon Clan, you go!”
“Me?” Li Cheng was surprised. All these were mighty complete Divine Emperor realm experts. They weren’t going, they were sending him?
He was just at the early stages of the Divine Venerable Realm. Who was he supposed to discipline? If he went, he would likely be the one disciplined.
“They are heading for a breakthrough to Supreme. It’s their critical time, while you… you have the most free time. You should go,” the Confucius Ancestor coughed.
Free time…
Li Cheng felt it was unfair. Hadn’t he always been busy?
“Is this appropriate?” Li Cheng said awkwardly.
“For the son of the Confucius Ancestor to personally visit is already giving great face to the Dragon Clan. As for how to handle it, you decide!” the Confucius Ancestor said with a smile.
The Monster Race revered the Dragon Clan, and disciplining the Dragon Clan meant offending the Monster Race. This was a task Li Cheng really didn’t want.
But on reflection, he didn’t care about offending others. Moreover, the Dragon Emperor had willingly returned with the ninth prince of the Dragon Emperor Clan to avoid putting Li Cheng in a difficult position, likely facing punishment now.
With this in mind, Li Cheng nodded, “Alright then, I will make the visit. I won’t disappoint father and the senior brothers.”
Grand Venerable Bai Jie seemed to want to say more but held back. With the Confucius Ancestor arranging things this way, there must be a deeper meaning, so it wasn’t his place to speak further.
“There’s no time to lose, let’s go!” the Confucius Ancestor said.
Li Cheng glanced at the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism, then at Grand Venerable Bai Jie, “Eighth Senior Brother, please take care of my disciple for me.”
“Rest assured, haven’t I been doing just that?” Grand Venerable Bai Jie said with a smile.
