Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend! Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Chapter 262: The Ancient Battlefield is about to Appear_2

Yun Fuxue approached and, seeing Li Cheng safe and sound, let out a sigh of relief.

“Fuxue, why don't you take Master Li to Book Mountain for a look?” Sect Leader Yun said.

Yun Fuxue nodded and watched Sect Leader Yun leave before saying, “Did that corpse from the Corpse Clan wake up? Are you okay?”

Li Cheng nodded, “It's awake, but the formation is special; it should not be able to break through, so there's no need to worry.”

Li Cheng did not mention the matter of feeling spied upon when he entered the formation, as he always felt that something was amiss.

Perhaps, it was the elders of the Confucian Sect who were discreetly observing him for a moment through the formation.

Such behavior inevitably breeds mistrust, but since he had entered the core of the formation without notice, it would have been abnormal if no one paid attention.

Therefore, this was not something suitable to be discussed.

“That creature from the Corpse Clan has a divine body and cannot be killed, which is always a menace, yet there is no solution,” Yun Fuxue sighed.

After a pause, Yun Fuxue looked at Li Cheng, “BookMountain is the foundation of the Confucian Sect, filled with countless books, gathering classics from several eras. Are you looking to find the method to become a god among them?”

Li Cheng shook his head, “Mainly, I am shallow in experience and want to broaden my knowledge through those books.”

Previously, Sect Master Yun had said that one needs to traverse the Divine Path to condense Divine Patterns, and there were no other special methods, so Li Cheng did not expect to find it in the books.

But since he was here, he naturally wanted to broaden his horizons by perusing various books.

“Ahead is Book Mountain, with a total of eighteen thousand halls, each hall containing an endless number of books. Ordinary Immortal Emperors would sweep through with their Immortal Sense and take in the books, and it would take ten days to complete one hall. Master Li, with your powerful Divine Soul, you should probably need less than a day,” Yun Fuxue said as she pointed to the peak ahead.

The mountain was enveloped by a spatial formation, making it appear only three thousand meters high, but in reality, it was certainly more than a hundred miles in size.

On the mountain, there were grand halls, also surrounded by spatial formations, whose interiors were unknowably vast.

” I won't disturb Master Li's reading then. If you need anything, just look for me,” Yun Fuxue said.

Li Cheng gave a fist salute, “Thankyou, Miss Yun.”

Entering Book Mountain, Li Cheng found his guess was accurate; the mountain was indeed a hundred miles high. Upon entering the first hall, he was even more astonished.

Within the hall was a hundred-mile wide Secret Land filled with books in various forms: Jade Slips, books, bamboo slips, beast skins, and so on, with bookshelves filling the hundred miles.

His Immortal Sense surged out, dividing into countless thoughts that explored the books in various formats, as Li Cheng began to examine them.

After a full hour, Li Cheng withdrew his Immortal Sense, organizing the knowledge he had acquired.

Another hour went by before he finished organizing, and only then did Li Cheng move to the next hall.

Elsewhere, Yun Fuxue found Sect Leader Yun and asked eagerly, “Teacher, how is it?”

Sect Leader Yun signaled for Yun Fuxue to sit down and smiled, “Don't worry, the seal within the depths of his soul hasn't shown any signs of loosening. The fact that he inquired about the division of the soul might be due to other reasons, not because he has learned of his own condition.”

Yun Fuxue felt relieved; indeed, when the two of them came out from underground, she had guessed that there was no problem with that soul, but she couldn't let her guard down without a definite answer.

Seeing this, Sect Leader Yun sighed, “You are flustered because you care. It's better to keep your distance from him for a while, to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Yun Fuxue wanted to speak, but ultimately she nodded, “Teacher, I understand.”

“Don't be unhappy. He has fully comprehended the Rule of Fire; what about you? You are falling behind so much in cultivation, not to mention the laws. You should focus on integrating the legacy!”

In the blink of an eye, more than eight years had passed, and Li Cheng walked out of the last hall, clicking his tongue in wonder.

He was not only amazed by the Confucian Sect's collection of books but also by the ancientness and vastness of this world.

“Indeed, there are no records of other methods to become a god, since ancient times, one could only head to the Divine Path to become a god,” Li Cheng felt somewhat helpless thinking about the issue of becoming a god.

The Divine Path was in the Three -way Abyss, but it was likely already destroyed.

“I thought it would take fifty years to finish, but Master Li, your Divine Soul is even stronger than I had anticipated,” Yun Fuxue flew in, her beautiful face adorned with a charming smile.

“Seeing Master Li's expression, it seems like you didn't find the answer you were looking for. Would you like to visit the Sea of Learning? It holds the knowledge of countless predecessors; perhaps you may find what you're looking for there,” Yun Fuxue suggested.

Within Book Mountain, Li Cheng naturally came across records about the Sea of Learning, the holy land of the Confucian Sect.

Book Mountain was open to the public, but the Sea of Learning was not.

“Thank you for your kindness, Miss Yun, but I have matters to attend to, so I must take my leave,” Li Cheng said as he cupped his fists in gratitude.

Unable to find answers in the book, Li Cheng planned to find a place to make his move on the Tower of Chaos!

The Remnant Soul within the tower might hold answers that the book could not provide.

In the worst case, it wouldn't hurt to investigate the ancient bronze tripod that was given by the Ancestor Master; even the Immortal Court was coveting that tripod – perhaps it really holds the secret to becoming a deity as they speculated.

“You're returning to the Kunlun Realm?” Yun Fuxue's expression was calm.

Li Cheng nodded, feeling that he was more at ease with his heart set on the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

Yun Fuxue didn't try to keep him, simply nodding, “Let me see you out.”

The two flew toward the Ascension Pool that Li Cheng had passed by when he arrived. Next to each Ascension Pool was a Transmission Array that could transport one to the Kunlun Realm. The Transmission Array in the valley they used before was closest to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

“Not long ago, news from the Kunlun Realm reported frequent strange occurrences in the Land of Chaos between the Southern Domain and the Central Continent, suggesting the imminent emergence of a treasure, already attracting many powerful beings.”

“My teacher and Senior Tianji Zi joined forces to calculate and said the most likely possibility is the reappearance of an ancient battlefield. If that's the case, I'm afraid it cannot avoid becoming a bloodbath,” Yun Fuxue said, looking at Li Cheng before continuing, “The person who cultivated the Ten Thousand Traits Stealing the Heavenly Scripture has reportedly left the Immortal World. The Immortal Court is freed up now; you must be careful.”

Li Cheng and Yun Fuxue exchanged a glance and nodded slightly, “Thank you for the reminder, Miss Yun. I will.”

Stepping onto the Transmission Array, the next moment, Li Cheng found himself on the Ascend to Immortal Platform.

Glancing over the Divine Patterns on the platform, a sigh of resignation silently escaped Li Cheng. Back in the day, he had spent quite a few enlightenments trying to comprehend these patterns, but they were just a means left by the Deities for ascending to immortality, not the Divine Patterns required for becoming a deity.

“Eh? Such a strong fluctuation!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan appeared, his gaze shifting toward the north.

Li Cheng also looked north, seeing the sky filled with colorful lights—a definite sign of a divine treasure's emergence.

“Miss Yun mentioned it's a sign that an ancient battlefield is about to appear. I'll know once I'm back at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect,” Li Cheng remarked as he left the Ascend to Immortal Platform and headed for the sect.

After being away for more than eight years, the Sect Protection Array of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was now filled with many more cities, and the number of cultivators had multiplied several times.

Li Cheng's Immortal Sense swept quietly across the area and noticed the Ancestor Master leading people of the Sect Master lineage atop Heaven Secret Peak, which piqued his curiosity, and he flew over to investigate.

Members of the Sect Master lineage all practiced the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll. Mu Xingzhi was the two hundred and seventy-third Sect Master. Apart from a few who had perished, there were now over a hundred gathered.

Li Cheng's arrival naturally drew all eyes, as each Sect Master greeted him with a smile.

“Little Uncle-Master, how was the Immortal World?” Mu Xingzhi asked with a smile.

“Eighteenth Elder is brimming with scholarly aura; wouldn't say you spent these years just reading books in the Confucian Sect, would you? Didn't explore anything else?” an older Sect Master jokingly said.

“Don't mention it. Eighteenth Elder's scholarly aura makes him seem even more extraordinary.”

Tianji Zi waved his hand, “Alright, alright. Xiaocheng, your timing is perfect. The ancient battlefield is about to emerge, and after predicting with Heaven Secret Technique, we've found that it is our opportunity. Hence, we're planning to dispatch some strong cultivators there.”

“You are the only one here who has been to the ancient battlefield. Why don't you tell us what we need to be cautious of when entering the ancient battlefield?”

So that was the reason.

Mu Xingzhi cleared his throat, “If Little Uncle-Master could join us, that would be even better!”

“Howmuch longer until it opens?” Li Cheng asked.

“At the soonest, ten years; at the latest, a hundred years,” Tianji Zi replied.

Looking toward the north, where the spectacle sprawled across the sky, Li Cheng wondered how it could still take so long to open?

However, to a cultivator, ten years was but the blink of an eye, hardly a long time at all.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Cheng didn't express whether he would go or not. Instead, he said, “Regarding the ancient battlefield, I actually don't know much. The time I spent there was short and the areas I traversed were limited, so my understanding is quite one-sided.”

“If the esteemed Elders do enter the ancient battlefield, what needs to be taken care of is not so much the things within the battlefield as it is other people,” Li Cheng began, recounting his experiences without holding back. Even using his Immortal Yuan to conjure a light screen to project the things he encountered back then.

It was better for them to be prepared. After he had finished speaking, Li Cheng was ready to probe the Tower of Chaos!
