Chapter 342: Chapter 293 Heaven Origin Divine Tree_2

“Is Kunlun doing well?” Blunt Empty Venerable asked with a smile, unable to hide the nostalgia in his eyes.

Li Cheng nodded, “The entire Immortal Realm of Kunlun has revived, and the Divine Path has been restored. I believe it won’t be long before someone ascends.”

Speaking of this, Li Cheng couldn’t help but be curious. How did Blunt Empty Venerable ascend to the Divine Realm when the Divine Path was severed?

Could it be that he had become a god before the Divine Path was severed?

“That is very good! I can rest assured now!” Blunt Empty Venerable heaved a sigh of relief. “Back in the day, when the Divine Path was severed, countless talents died from exhausting their lifespans.”

“The restoration of the Divine Path must owe much to you, doesn’t it?” Blunt Empty Venerable added.

“The Kunlun Realm is full of talents, and many contributed their efforts, I dare not take credit,” Li Cheng said, cupping his fists.

Blunt Empty Venerable shook his head and chuckled, “My young friend is too modest. As one gets older, one tends to talk more.”

“I left this Divine Sense behind because I wanted to see what kind of fated person would obtain the Blunt Empty Residence. I didn’t expect it to be you. Our fate is indeed not shallow.”

“I have found the answer I was looking for, so I will take my leave now!”

Li Cheng hurriedly said, “Senior, is there anything you need me to do?”

He left the Blunt Empty Residence and deliberately left a Divine Sense. It’s unlikely that it was just to wait for someone fated; there must be something he wanted to entrust.

Blunt Empty Venerable shook his head, “Nothing much. I left in a hurry, and the Blunt Empty Residence is of no use to me anymore, so I left it behind, that’s all.”

“The Divine Realm has one hundred and eight mansions; when you reach the city of Land Puppet Mansion, we should be able to meet and have a good chat then!”

As he spoke, Blunt Empty Venerable glanced at the Demon Suppression Order at Li Cheng’s waist, “Become a Seven Stars Demon-suppressing Envoy soon so you can learn more secrets. Take care, young friend!”

Before his voice faded, Blunt Empty Venerable’s ethereal figure had already dispersed.

Li Cheng looked at the empty chairs and tables, shaking his head slightly, and his gaze moved to the core of Blunt Empty Residence on the round seat.

Li Cheng spent a full month refining the core. The entirety of Blunt Empty Residence became clear to him.

The Blunt Empty Residence was indeed a Time Artifact, but it could only speed up time to a maximum of a hundredfold, mainly used by Blunt Empty Venerable to cultivate the Heaven Origin Divine Tree.

“A hundredfold is already quite impressive. In the Divine Realm, such a Time Artifact is even rarer. With the Blunt Empty Residence, I can save a hundredfold of time!”

Satisfied, Li Cheng walked out of the main house and started the time flow at will.

Seated beneath the Divine Tree, Li Cheng took out the Vermillion Bird Essence Blood.

There was only a drop of Vermillion Bird Essence Blood, but the power it contained was far more immense than the White Tiger Essence Blood he had before; clearly, when this drop was extracted, that Vermillion Bird’s cultivation was high, very likely to be a Divine King!

Li Cheng only dared to absorb a tiny amount of the essence blood’s power, slowly condensing the Vermillion Seal. Even so, his veins were almost destroyed by the scorching force.

“I’ll take it as Body Refinement, continue!”

Time passed day by day. It took more than a year to completely refine the essence blood and successfully cultivate the Vermillion Seal.

In the outside world, only a few days had passed.

Just as Li Cheng awoke from his cultivation, he saw Ao Jiugai sitting idly at the stone table.

The latter, upon seeing Li Cheng awake, hurriedly said, “Why have you secluded yourself for so long? We’ve been back over a year, and I haven’t even seen my daughter yet!”

Just over a year? Was that long?

Li Cheng felt a touch of poignancy. He finally found someone he could relate to as he also always thought cultivation was time-consuming. Over a year was indeed long.

Compared to those in the God Realm who cultivated for tens of thousands or even millions of years, Li Cheng still wasn’t used to such long periods of cultivation.

“Don’t worry, I’ve sped up the flow of time. Only three or four days have passed in the outside world,” Li Cheng replied.

With that, Li Cheng stood up and took Ao Jiugai out of the Blunt Empty Residence.

“This is a Time Artifact? Indeed it is! I knew it!” Ao Jiugai suddenly understood. He had said before that it was very likely a Time Artifact, and now it seemed he was right!

After stepping out of the house, they finally saw Yin Yue and Ao Qing.

“My dear daughter!”

Ao Jiugai’s figure blurred, and he was already nestled in Ao Qing’s protective scales, the father and daughter communicating some matters between them.

Ao Qing, having shrunk to a size of two feet, hung around Yin Yue’s neck, but Li Cheng could see that Ao Qing’s true body had already grown to a hundred meters!

“Master!” Yin Yue hurriedly greeted Li Cheng as he returned, “You’re finally back!”

Li Cheng casually took out a Storage Ring, “Check it when you have time, keep it for your use.”

Yin Yue glanced at it and her eyes widened instantly, “More than ten thousand storage bags, did Master rob the Demon Race?”

The Storage Bag still carried the aura of the Demon Race, and as a Demon Suppressing Envoy, she certainly wouldn’t mistake it.

“That’s a long story… it was given by Miss Kong.”

“That’s right, Master, Sister Kong has been looking for you these past two days, apparently there’s something important, but she wouldn’t tell me,” Yin Yue said.

Sister Kong looking for me? Could it be that there’s news of the Vermillion Bird Essence Blood or Xuanwu Essence Blood?

The only thing missing from the Demon Suppressing Four Spirits Seal is the Xuanwu Seal. Once all four seals are cultivated, they can be combined into one, at which point their power will increase many times over!

With this thought, Li Cheng sent a message into the Demon Suppression Order, “Miss Kong, I’ve come out of seclusion. Little Yue told me you’ve been looking for me these past couple of days?”

“It’s better if I tell you in person. I’ll be right over,” she replied.

Soon enough, an apologetic Kong Lianqing hurried over.

Seeing her expression, Li Cheng understood that there was no hope for the Essence Blood.

“Miss Kong, don’t fret over this. Four Spirits Essence Blood is hard to find, and there’s no rush. I’ll eventually get my hands on it,” Li Cheng said, offering some comfort to Kong Lianqing.

Kong Lianqing took a seat and shook her head, “We’ve located the Xuanwu Essence Blood. The royal family has a drop, but they’ve placed it in the treasury of the Demon-suppressing Department, and it needs to be exchanged for points.”

“Could it be another 180,000?” Li Cheng casually asked.

Kong Lianqing nodded, “Have you been to the Affairs Hall?”

Indeed!

Li Cheng was speechless. 180,000 points—that’s hard to come by!

Last time he was lucky; joining forces with two others, they killed over 50,000 demons and instantly got more than 360,000 points.

Now, trying to scrape together another 180,000 was anything but easy.

“Haven’t been yet, just guessed it, considering the Vermillion Bird Essence Blood had the same price,” Li Cheng explained.

Kong Lianqing sighed heavily, “180,000 is just one thing, what’s more important is that the Affairs Hall set a condition—you need to be a two-star Demon-suppressing Envoy to make the exchange!”

“I tried to negotiate with the Affairs Hall, but they didn’t agree.”

“It’s all my fault for being too eager. If I hadn’t revealed my desire to obtain the Xuanwu Essence Blood, it probably wouldn’t have ended up as a reward for exchange points.”

Li Cheng smiled, “No harm done. The Affairs Hall did say that I can take on promotion missions now. Once I complete the mission, I’ll naturally become a two-star Demon-suppressing Envoy.”

Becoming a two-star Demon-suppressing Envoy isn’t hard, but those 180,000 points are.

Killing a demon of the Heaven God State yields at most ten points—how could that not be difficult?

“Since there’s nothing pressing, I’ll go take a look at the Affairs Hall,” Li Cheng added.

Kong Lianqing nodded, “I’m also ready to take on more missions to hone my cultivation. Let’s go together!”

Her cultivation had already reached the completion of the Heaven God State, and with continued accumulation, breaking through to the True God Realm wasn’t difficult.

Arriving at the Affairs Hall, Li Cheng checked the information on the Xuanwu Essence Blood and couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly. 180,000 points, two-star Demon-suppressing Envoy—definitely not an easy task.

“Senior, I’m taking on a promotion mission!” he said without hesitation to the elder behind the counter.

180,000 points won’t be easy to get, so let’s become a two-star Demon-suppressing Envoy first.

The elder took out an Array Plate, smiled, and said, “My lord, all the two-star promotion missions are in here. Simply touch it, and you will draw one immediately.”

Li Cheng already knew that the promotion missions for Demon-suppressing Envoys were drawn randomly—it all came down to luck.

People like Wushuang, who drew a mission involving the Withered Bone Demon Clan, could only count themselves unlucky.

Li Cheng touched the Array Plate. Instantly, a light screen appeared on it, displaying his mission.

“Kill True God Realm evil cultivators or demons!”

The mission details were very simple, just eleven words.

But obviously, the mission wasn’t easy, especially since it involved killing beings of the True God Realm. It might be impossible for others, but Li Cheng could definitely use formations!

After pondering for a moment, Li Cheng said, “Senior, I’d like to exchange for a level three Array Plate.”

Having seen Kong Lianqing rely on the Array Plate to support the Three Thousand Deadly Array previously, Li Cheng had made up his mind.

“My lord, you don’t have enough points, but since you haven’t exchanged Divine Stones for points as a one-star Demon-suppressing Envoy, by the rule that allows you to exchange up to half at most, you can get 25,000 points!” the elder replied, maintaining his smile.

Exchange! Definitely exchange!

One Divine Stone can be exchanged for one point, so 25,000 points amounts to merely two and a half million Divine Stones, a drop in the ocean.

After exchanging points, Li Cheng began searching again, looking for a few useful items to procure.

“I recommend you choose the Soul Extinguishing Needle. Although it’s a one-time use item, it can often turn the tide unexpectedly,” Kong Lianqing suggested.

Li Cheng’s eyes lit up. Pointing at the light screen, he said, “Look at this item, this is the one I want!”
