Chapter 269: Chapter 259 The Secret in the Mouth of the Bone Clan_1

Li Cheng focused intently on the north, his heart already understood; he had suddenly seen the Long River of Time because he had perfected his cultivation of the Rule of Fire. The unusual movements in the Time River had triggered fluctuations in the Order of Heaven and Earth, allowing him to witness it in that instant.

As to whether it was a man-made trigger, Li Cheng could not ascertain and thus couldn’t answer Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan.

Seeing Li Cheng’s silence, Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan spoke again, “When the Blunt Empty Venerable transmitted a message to you through the Time River, you have now perfected a series of laws; can you do the same as he did?”

Li Cheng shook his head, “The Blunt Empty Venerable was a figure from the final period of the previous era. I can now confirm that he has stepped into the God Realm.”

“As for Blunt Empty City, it was probably something he left before becoming a deity. The last time I touched the Time River, he seemed to sense some great terror, sharing only sparse information.”

Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan displayed a look of surprise, “The Blunt Empty Venerable is among the Deities?”

After a brief contemplation, he said, “Since the Blunt Empty Venerable is a deity, you might as well visit Blunt Empty City again. Perhaps there are messages he left behind, or even his Immortal Sense. Maybe you could learn the key to becoming a deity from him.”

A brightness sparked in Li Cheng’s eyes, that made sense!

Besides, even if the Blunt Empty Venerable had left no Immortal Sense, it was a perfect opportunity for him to check on the Bone Clan powerhouse that was suppressed within. If he could resolve it, so much the better.

Even if not, he could still cultivate within Blunt Empty City and, with the help of the Enlightenment Divine Fruit, understand the Earth Rules and Space Law.

With this in mind, Li Cheng nodded and headed straight towards Misty City.

Misty City is Blunt Empty City but ever since the revival of the Kunlun Realm, Li Cheng hadn’t visited.

Now, with the revival of the Kunlun Realm, the Southern Domain’s territory had expanded many times over. The distance between Blunt Empty City and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had also stretched to hundreds of millions of li.

Before long, Li Cheng arrived at the area still shrouded in light mist.

“Such a peculiar place will undoubtedly attract many investigators, but I never expected even Immortal Emperors to come looking around,” muttered Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan, observing the mist before them.

Li Cheng also sensed that within the range of the mist, there were many Immortal Realm powerhouses, including those at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

“They haven’t ventured too deep, and many cultivators here focus on Body Refinement, treating this place as a cultivation treasure land,” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan added.

Li Cheng nodded, “This place has changed since before; the Earth Rules and Space Law are many times more active, and even the gravity is much stronger than it used to be.”

As he spoke, Li Cheng moved forward.

When he was a hundred li from Blunt Empty City, Li Cheng could feel that those who hadn’t reached the Immortal Emperor Realm couldn’t possibly make it this far.

Clearly, some changes must have taken place in Blunt Empty City to turn the nearby area into what it is now.

Li Cheng went straight to the outer city gates and saw that they were wide open. However, the Demon Beasts that once lived inside were nowhere to be seen.

The gravity here had become far too strong, making it impossible for them to live in the city.

“Has it been so long since we last met that you’ve reached the Perfect Immortal Emperor Realm? You even give off an unfathomable feeling…” The voice of Ao Qianchi rang out.

Li Cheng looked toward the inner city walls, where Ao Qianchi stood, his dragon horns emitting a faint glow in the sunlight.

Ao Qianchi’s voice was filled with astonishment; when they had last parted, Li Cheng was merely a Golden Immortal.

It had been just over a decade since they last saw each other, and now Li Cheng was stronger than him?

Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan appeared and joked, “Back then, you said that no matter what, Li Cheng couldn’t escape a spar with you. Why not try now?”

Ao Qianchi looked shocked, feeling like he was no match for Li Cheng, as if he could hardly withstand even one of his moves.

However, Ao Qianchi quickly suppressed this feeling and smiled at Li Cheng,’ I said we’d fight on our next meeting, and now the time has come!”

Li Cheng made a fist-and-palm salute, “A spar is just a spar, I have no objection.”

But Li Cheng could sense that Ao Qianchi’s aura was unstable, clearly indicating that he was recently injured.

“Elder Ao, let’s wait until your injury has healed!” suggested Li Cheng.

Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan looked at Ao Qianchi with suspicion, “Injured again?”

Before Ao Qianchi could speak, a surge of tremendous power came from within the Inner City, accompanied by a deep, hoarse roar that sent shivers down one’s spine!

Ao Qianchi frowned, vast Immortal Yuan flowing between his palms, and pressed simultaneously towards the city wall.

Instantly, the Array Patterns throughout Blunt Empty City flickered, suppressing the roar.

Ao Qianchi caught his breath slightly, “I said that Blunt Empty City could only suppress [it] for a hundred years, but since the revival of the Kunlun Realm, several Immortal Veins appeared beneath the city, aiding in the recovery of that being.”

“Li Cheng, having entered the Complete Immortal Emperor Realm, come with me to take a look. Maybe, by working together to activate Blunt Empty City, we can completely suppress that being back into place, sustaining another hundred years.”

Li Cheng nodded; he also wanted to see for himself what sort of entity the suppressed Bone Clan member actually was.

Some said he was a Bone Clan member transformed from the Blunt Empty Venerable after his death, while others claimed he was a formidable enemy that the Blunt Empty Venerable couldn’t kill in his day and could only suppress here. Standing in front of the mansion at the city’s center, the entire mansion was now completely engulfed in deathly aura. Were it not for the mansion’s Formation, that deathly aura would have likely spread to the Misty Forest by now.

“This deathly aura faintly contains Divine Might, couldn’t it be the Bone Clan shaped from a Divine Bone?” Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan spoke with some concern.

Ao Qianchi shook his head, “A few days ago, I went in to investigate, attempting to resolve it from the inside. However, that fellow used the deathly aura to form an attack that severely wounded me. Having been suppressed for so long without showing his face, he still inflicted such injuries on me, leading me to suspect he is the Bone Clan formed from a Divine Bone.”

“But, regardless, we must try. Otherwise, if he escapes, it will spell disaster for the Kunlun Realm.”
