Chapter 289: Chapter 268 Divine Tribulation 1

Heavenly Mechanism Sect, bustling like never before, countless cultivators from all over the Kunlun Realm were rushing towards this place.

The reason was none other than the arrival of two of the Top Ten Oddities at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!

The Top Ten Oddities, each and every one, was the object of countless cultivators’ adoration, let alone the sudden appearance of two.

“Alliance Leader Li Cheng has appeared with Grand Venerable Bai Jie and the Five Elements Great Emperor. Now, countless cultivators are heading to the Southern Domain to witness the elegance of the Top Ten Oddities. Alliance Leader, let’s go too!”

In the Pill League, Left Vice Alliance Leader Lin spoke with some urgency.

Gu Sanqiu’s eyes were half-closed; upon hearing this, he only half-opened them and then closed them again. “Why are you not distinguishing between priorities? Now that the Order of Heaven and Earth is complete, one should properly comprehend the Laws to strive for completion and ascend to godhood as soon as possible.”

Lin Zuo was somewhat speechless, then cleared his throat and said, “I heard that Alliance Leader Li Cheng has become a demigod. One more journey on the Divine Path, and he will become a god. Alliance Leader, you can’t catch up with him. You still need to occupy the position of Alliance Leader!”

Gu Sanqiu suddenly opened his eyes, “What?”

Lin Zuo shrugged, not saying a word.

He knew very well that Gu Sanqiu was so eager to cultivate in order to become a god earlier, so he could hand over the position of Alliance Leader to Li Cheng.

But Li Cheng had already moved ahead of Gu Sanqiu and was sure to become a god before Gu Sanqiu.

For Gu Sanqiu, to ascend to godhood might take millions of years; how could he compete with Li Cheng?

And to think after becoming a god, he could naturally pass the position of Alliance Leader to Li Cheng, that was impossible.

Gu Sanqiu quickly stood up, “Go, to the Southern Domain, this old man needs to talk to young Li!”

Gu Sanqiu pondered, when he saw Li Cheng, what could he say to make him willingly take over the position of Alliance Leader?

At Heavenly Mechanism Sect, everyone gathered happily. Grand Venerable Bai Jie was approachable, and although the Five Elements Great Emperor was not a big talker, she didn’t dislike the gathering either.

At the banquet, the high ranks of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect were chatting lively, creating a very active atmosphere.

“From what they are saying, you are preparing to take the Divine Path to the Divine Realm?” The Five Elements Great Emperor asked Li Cheng, who was sitting beside her.

Li Cheng nodded, in fact, if it had been before, he may not have wanted to go.

But since he learned that there were restrictions deep within his soul, Li Cheng had become more and more determined to go to the Divine Realm.

Only by going to the Divine Realm could his cultivation continue to rise, and he could truly understand the truth about the restriction in his soul.

Moreover, the vast Heavenly Mechanism Sect was full of his kin. Not to mention other things, his ten disciples all had extraordinary talents and would inevitably become gods given time. As their master, how could he be outdone by his disciples?

He also had a responsibility to pave the way for their future. So, he might as well strive once more!

Seeing Li Cheng nod, the Five Elements Great Emperor asked, “How much do you understand about the Divine Realm?”

“It’s fair to say I know nothing,” Li Cheng replied truthfully.

A hint of astonishment appeared on the Five Elements Great Emperor’s face, followed by a slight shake of her head, “I have encountered the Remnant Soul of an ancestor and learned much about the Divine Realm. If you decide to go, I will organize the information and give it to you.”

Li Cheng gave thanks with a clasped fist, “Thankyou very much, Your Majesty!”

The Five Elements Great Emperor looked towards Yan Yao not far away, “Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you for finding the right candidate for the Five Elements Meridian Pearl.”

“I haven’t spent much time teaching my disciples; they have almost all grown up by themselves. If Your Majesty has leisure time, please give them some guidance.”

The Five Elements Great Emperor shook her head, “On the path of cultivation, as a master, one is merely a guide and should not interfere too much. Everyone has their own path that is suitable for them. This path must be explored and followed by oneself.”

Li Cheng looked at the Five Elements Great Emperor with some surprise; did she also agree with his hands-off approach?

“Pill League Alliance Leader Gu Sanqiu and Vice Alliance Leader Lin Zuo are visiting!”

Outside the hall, the notification echoed.

The high ranks of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect stood to await the arrival of Gu Sanqiu and Lin Zuo.

A thought crossed Li Cheng’s mind; the Pill League had been passed down through several generations, once known as the Pill God Alliance. Surely they must have Divine Pill Recipes?

“Gu Sanqiu, with the Pill League’s members, greets the Five Elements Great Emperor and Grand Venerable Bai Jie!”

Dressed in a brocade robe for the day, Gu Sanqiu presented an extreme formal appearance, a stark contrast to his usual unkempt visage.

“Greetings to Alliance Leader Li Cheng!” Lin Zuo saluted Li Cheng.

“Alliance Leader of the Pill League? You?” The Five Elements Great Emperor’s eyes brightened.

Li Cheng smiled and gestured for the two to sit before saying to the Five Elements Great Emperor, “It’s only a nomination; I’m not suitable for the role. Besides, I’m planning to go to the Divine Realm.”

“The Pill League has an extremely ancient heritage… Well, never mind, since you have no intention of taking over,” the Five Elements Great Emperor paused, leaving things unsaid.

She had wanted to persuade Li Cheng to take over because the Pill League was one of the oldest forces, and it must possess fundamentals unknown to outsiders. If these could be discovered, the benefits would be endless.

But since Li Cheng had no such interest, she let the matter be.

“Brother, apart from paying respects to the two venerable figures, my main purpose is to see you,” Gu Sanqiu said cheerfully, resembling a kindly old grandfather.

“I have something very important to discuss with you, but it’s not urgent. We can talk after the banquet is over.”

Li Cheng looked at Gu Sanqiu skeptically, vaguely guessing that this guy was probably considering stepping down, wasn’t he?

A few days later, Li Cheng was looking over the information about the Divine Realm provided by the Five Elements Great Emperor when Gu Sanqiu showed up.

As he entered, Gu Sanqiu cheerfully said, “So you’re preparing to go to the Divine Realm, young brother?”

Li Cheng smiled, “That’s right. It’s impossible to improve my cultivation here. I must go.”

“Hmm, my brother, that’s exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. Do you know that going to the Divine Realm is like a newborn being born, unable to take anything with you?” Gu Sanqiu smiled.

Li Cheng nodded, for this was also mentioned in the information given by the Five Elements Great Emperor.
