Chapter 274: Chapter 261: The Corpse Clan Suppressed by the Confucian Sect 1

Li Cheng did not dwell too long on the matter of soul division and took out the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns.

Yun Fuxue seemed to be pleased that Li Cheng shifted the topic, took the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns, and with a flick of her jade finger, the scroll rose into the air and unfurled mid-flight.

Stars twinkled, a myriad of lanterns shone brightly, and the vast and majestic Haoran Air pervaded.

In an instant, Yun Fuxue retracted it, smiling said, “What the Confucian Ancestor painted was just a mortal city in the Immortal World, yet it captured the stars and lantern lights of the entire Immortal World. With such a painting, considering it a Confucian Holy Artifact is not an overstatement.”

With this explanation, Li Cheng understood that the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns was still far from its former glory.

Yun Fuxue returned the scroll to Li Cheng, her face still wearing a smile, “Master Li, keep it well, surely this painting will be of use to you.”

Her words seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

Li Cheng looked at Yun Fuxue but did not see any hint in her expression.

Taking the painting, Li Cheng pondered briefly and spontaneously formed Array Patterns that he infused into the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns. Before long, the painting soared high and entered the Six Unions Sky Lock Array.

“I have integrated it into the array to nurture it with the lanterns’ light and the Divine Bones.”

The Six Unions Sky Lock Array enveloped an area of eight million miles, and countless creatures living within it lit myriad lanterns every day. Moreover, with the power of the three Confucian Divine Bones, the growth rate of the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns would be extremely fast.

Having barely used the painting himself, Li Cheng was very curious about Yun Fuxue’s words. Unfortunately, she seemed disinclined to elaborate.

The two continued to move forward, touring various places in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

A few days later, Sect Leader Yun said that the Confucian Sect had urgent matters and took Yun Fuxue back to the Immortal World.

During the days he spent with Yun Fuxue, Li Cheng had become completely serene, temporarily setting aside the matters of his soul being divided and his transcendence.

The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan revealed himself, looking at the Ascend to Immortal Platform in front of him, jesting said, “It’s quite rare, this is the first time I’ve seen you send someone off so far.”

“It’s just a few steps away, let’s goback,” seeing Yun Fuxue and Sect Leader Yun vanish on the Ascend to Immortal Platform, Li Cheng said.

“Don’t rush, I have something to tell you,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said with a serious face, gravely speaking.

Li Cheng looked towards Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, “What’s so serious that it has you this solemn?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pursed his lips towards the Ascend to Immortal Platform, “When they left earlier, I sensed the power fluctuation of a Remnant Soul on Miss Yun, far stronger than mine.”

“Do you mean to say there’s a high being’s Remnant Soul on her, like you and me?” Li Cheng said.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded gravely, “Exactly, that Remnant Soul might well be a Deity’s Remnant Soul. Although it only revealed its fluctuation for a moment, I still sensed it.”

Li Cheng pondered and then shook his head, “It should be the predecessor of the Confucian Sect. After all, she is the Confucian Sect Saintess. A powerful being’s Remnant Soul accompanying her might be to instruct her.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan fell silent, then said again, “When you asked her about soul division, her expression had a momentary aberration, you might not have noticed, but I did, and it strikes me as odd.”

“But then again, why did you ask her that? You don’t even know any mortals, let alone those whose souls have been divided.”

Last time in Blunt Empty City, when Li Cheng heard about it from the Skeleton, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan and Ao Qianchi were both outside, naturally unaware.

Li Cheng laughed, “I was just reflecting on the matters of the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor and wanted to understand more, as for her fleeting change in expression, she must have been surprised by my question, like you were!”

“Maybe so,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said, pondering.

Elsewhere, Sect Leader Yun and Yun Fuxue had returned to the Immortal World.

Yun Fuxue’s face was somewhat solemn, “Teacher, things might be a bit troublesome, Master Li actually asked me about soul division. Could it be he has discovered something?”

Sect Leader Yun’s aged face turned stern, frowning said, “Unlikely, even stepping into the Heaven God State wouldn’t allow breaking the seal, let alone uncovering the matter of soul being divided… ”

He pondered, then after a moment took a deep breath, “This matter is too important. Let’s prepare and invite him to the Confucian Sect. Using the Confucian Ancestor’s Heritages, we’ll covertly investigate!”

“Now that he’s only asking, he must not have broken the seal yet, but we can’t be careless. If there’s a problem with the seal, that would be disastrous!”

Having said that, the two quickly departed.

Li Cheng had already returned to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Now that the Rule of Fire was complete, he had originally planned to use the Judge Pen to comprehend the Life Law and Law of Death, but upon reflection, it seemed more appropriate to start with the Time Law.

Although it was unlikely that he would fully comprehend the Time Law, he still had to prepare early. When it became impossible to comprehend further, he would find a solution.

If the Time Law were complete, he could reforge the Seven Mystery Tower, and the flow of time within it would remain effective for him as before.

With so many Laws waiting to be comprehended, how could he do without a timeless Immortal Artifact like the Seven Mystery Tower?

Comprehending the Time Law often led to glimpses of the Long River of Time, and this occasion was no exception.

But it was merely a glimpse; with the temporal barrier in the way, he couldn’t get close.

With the consumption of each Enlightenment Divine Fruit, time swiftly passed.

Three hundred and fifty Enlightenment Divine Fruits later, over more than fourteen years, Li Cheng advanced his comprehension of the Time Law from four thousand to sixty-four thousand eight hundred Laws.

But after reaching sixty-four thousand eight hundred Laws, Li Cheng found that he could comprehend no further!
