Chapter 383: Chapter 313: Two Divine Beasts Arrive!_1
Following the guidance of Blunt Empty Venerable, Li Cheng stepped onto the Transmission Array once again.
The guard responsible for the Transmission Array was about to get angry when he saw the Mansion Venerable Order in Li Cheng’s hand; he was so shocked that he quickly knelt on one knee, “May I ask where you are heading, sir?”
“Heaven Puppet City!”
With utmost respect, the guard activated the Transmission Array, and the scenery before Li Cheng’s eyes began to change.
The guard took a deep breath of relief; that was a close call. If he hadn’t noticed the Mansion Venerable Order just now, things would have turned grim for him.
Heaven Puppet City is the only city that connects to Mansion Venerable City. Through the Transmission Array, Li Cheng finally arrived at Mansion Venerable City.
When the scenery before his eyes stabilized, Li Cheng realized that Mansion Venerable City was actually situated between the Thirty-Six Heaven Gang Cities and the Seventy-Two Earth Sha Cities, hidden away in the void where neither the naked eye nor Divine Sense could perceive it.
Looking up, the Thirty-Six Heaven Gang Cities were still there in the sky, only they seemed a bit larger.
Mansion Venerable City wasn’t very large—in fact, it was only about a thousand miles in diameter. Though called a city, it was more like a hidden continent.
Here the landscape was beautiful with very few buildings, and it was very quiet.
At the moment, Li Cheng stood before a lake.
“You’re quicker than I expected. Have you settled matters?” Blunt Empty Venerable appeared beside Li Cheng and asked with a smile.
Li Cheng performed a courtesy, “It is done, thank you for your concern, Senior!”
Blunt Empty Venerable nodded and pointed to a small island at the center of the lake, “Come with me.”
Following Blunt Empty Venerable’s steps, Li Cheng curiously looked towards the small island and saw more than a dozen wooden houses on it.
In front of one of the wooden houses, Ninety Thousand Miles sat cross-legged, cultivating.
“This is where I usually reside. I seldom leave unless there’s a major event. From now on, you will also live here, alright?” Blunt Empty Venerable said to Li Cheng, his tone suggesting a question.
“Thank you, Senior!” Li Cheng bowed with his hands clasped together.
The Heaven and Earth Laws here were extremely active, far exceeding Li Cheng’s expectations, and the concentration of Divine Qi was not weaker than at Blunt Empty Residence, quite possibly one of the top cultivation treasures in the entire Land Puppet Mansion.
As the Mansion Venerable of Land Puppet Mansion, Blunt Empty Venerable had unparalleled resources and had naturally put considerable effort into crafting this place of cultivation.
Having landed on the island, Blunt Empty Venerable chuckled, “These wooden houses are called Mysterious Heavy Houses I constructed. Each one has its own space inside, with different gravitational forces. You can experience them later.”
The two did not disturb Ninety Thousand Miles and sat at a teatable in front of one of the houses, with Blunt Empty Venerable personally brewing tea, “Xiao Changting came to me earlier and mentioned you might be a descendent of the Demon Suppression Emperor. You must know why he said that, right?”
Li Cheng was surprised. Ao Jiugai had previously asked him if he had any relation to the Demon Suppression Emperor, and now Xiao Changting suspected it too?
It seemed that even Blunt Empty Venerable was starting to doubt!
After a brief contemplation, Li Cheng said, “Senior, it’s merely a coincidence that I came into possession of the Divine Skills left in the Demon Suppression Bell by the Demon Suppression Emperor. The head of the department must be mistaken.”
Blunt Empty Venerable smiled, “Some days ago, when the Evil Demons pressed heavily upon us, I sought help from the Confucian Sect and Buddhism. Buddhism did not respond, but the Confucian Sect sent the Saintess to help. You must know, the Demon Suppression Emperor was the grand disciple of Confucius Ancestor, and the Saintess, the youngest disciple.”
The implication was that the Confucian Sect took this matter very seriously, and that was why they sent the Saintess.
Normally, they should just send anyone to take care of it; there was no need for the Saintess herself to risk danger.
“Previously, Head Xiao and I accidentally broke into an Evil Demon stronghold and were assisted by a Confucianism Path’s powerhouse. It seems it was the Senior’s mentioned Saintess, but I truly don’t know the Demon Suppression Emperor. Perhaps they place high value on my accomplishments in creating alchemical tools?” Li Cheng voiced his doubts.
Changing the subject, Li Cheng then inquired, “How is the situation now?”
Knowing that Li Cheng was changing the topic, Blunt Empty Venerable smiled and said, “It remains severe, but don’t worry, the headquarters of the Demon-suppressing Department sent several Eight-Star Demon-suppressing Envoys here, and strong figures from Dragon Island will also come to assist.”
“Once they arrive, those Evil Demons will have no choice but to cower.”
Eight-Star Demon-suppressing Envoy?
Li Cheng was secretly astounded; the highest was the Nine-Star Demon-suppressing Envoy—Eight-Star must be the level of a Divine Venerable, right?
Blunt Empty Venerable had been in the Divine Realm for two hundred million years; he had significant clout!
Speaking of his two hundred million years in the Divine Realm, Li Cheng couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, since the Divine Path of our Kunlun Immortal Realm is broken, how did you ascend in the first place?”
Blunt Empty Venerable handed over a teacup and poured a cup of tea for Li Cheng, then gazed eastward, “I’m curious about that as well. Back then, I don’t know how the Dragon Emperor did it, but by carrying me across a region of nothingness, we arrived in the Divine Realm.”
“Dragon Emperor?” Li Cheng’s eyebrows lifted slightly.
Among Kunlun Realm’s top ten legendary figures, Blunt Empty Venerable ranked eighth, while the seventh was the Dragon Emperor!
Their eras were similar, both belonging to the early period of this age, but the Dragon Emperor arrived a bit earlier, hence his rank before Blunt Empty Venerable.
Could it be that the Dragon Emperor Blunt Empty Venerable spoke of was him?
The Dragon Emperor was even more mysterious than Blunt Empty Venerable. Perhaps because he came from the Dragon Clan, he didn’t leave as many legends in the human world as Blunt Empty Venerable, and for this reason, he was shrouded in mystery.
Blunt Empty Venerable nodded, “Within our Kunlun Immortal Realm, the Dragon Emperor was the leader of the Dragon Clan. However, after arriving in the Divine Realm, although included in the Dragon Emperor Clan, he seemed to be not quite satisfied, and it won’t be long before he arrives.”
Li Cheng was inwardly taken aback—this Hundred Dynasties Meeting had actually disturbed two legendary figures from Kunlun Realm’s history; the scale of the event seemed to have escalated!
“Oh, and just a moment ago, another person ascended from our Kunlun Realm. You should know them. Guess who?” Blunt Empty Venerable casually mentioned after taking a sip of tea.
