Chapter 495: Chapter 367: The Secret of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death_2

The ennoblement was swift; Li Cheng’s appearance lasted less than three minutes before concluding.

“Li Shenzi, it is rumored that your mastery in Pill Artifact Array is unparalleled in the Divine Realm, and we have not had the fortune to witness it. Today is a joyous day for Dayan Divine Sect. May we have the honor of seeing you demonstrate your skill?”

“Indeed, Li Shenzi, while having the chance to see your true visage is already a blessing for three lifetimes, we have long admired you from afar. Could you perhaps fulfill this wish of ours?”

…

The crowd began to clamor.

“That must be Tian Xinghe’s doing. Little Junior Brother, go on and showcase your skill. Make a name for yourself and let the whole Divine Realm know the prowess of our Confucian Sect!” Light Destroying Heaven Venerable communicated through a voice transmission.

Li Cheng smiled, “A small matter, and not time-consuming at all. I’ll demonstrate then.”

After finishing the voice transmission, Li Cheng looked all around and cupped his fists, “Then I shall demonstrate, albeit clumsily!”

Tian Xinghe was secretly delighted and quickly took out two storage rings, “God Child, please!”

Li Cheng took them and examined them briefly, his eyebrows imperceptibly lifting. He had to hand it to Tian Xinghe; he’d prepared materials for a hundred thousand Divine Venerable Pills. Once refined, this would enable the Dayan Divine Sect to cultivate a large number of Divine Venerables!

The other storage ring contained refining materials, enough to forge hundreds of thousands of top-quality Divine Artifacts.

Li Cheng smiled, unfazed, as Array Patterns surged around his body, spreading in every direction until reaching the edge of the space bubble before stopping.

Then, the Array Patterns condensed, weaving an atmosphere that made one’s scalp tingle, and in just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, a Nine-tiered Divine Array was formed!

The crowd fell silent, clearly dumbstruck.

Who could have imagined that setting up a Divine Array would come so effortlessly to Li Cheng?

“It’s a Nine-tiered Divine Array! Such an array, when viewed across the entire Divine Realm, is impossible for anyone else to set up. Li Shenzi must surely be the number one figure of this era!” a Divine Emperor murmured.

In the quiet space, his voice reached everyone’s ears, causing a chain reaction of sharp intakes of breath.

As for Li Cheng, he spread his hands, one storage ring floating out from each hand, which then exploded, revealing mountains of materials.

To the left were Divine Medicines, and to the right were Divine Materials. As the Rule of Fire swept through them, the processes of Alchemy and Artifact Refining were happening simultaneously!

“The Complete Rule of Fire, how many Complete Laws does he possess?” wondered Tian Xinghe, his eyes shining with eagerness as he pondered.

He was not familiar with Alchemy or Artifact Refining, his focus was on Li Cheng’s Laws.

Others, however, were watching intently as Li Cheng performed Alchemy and Artifact Refining at the same time, trying to discern something from his movements.

But Li Cheng’s actions were too swift. The two mountains of Divine Medicines and Divine Materials were dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye, each transforming into essences of Medicine and Divine Material, respectively. Like a roaring mountain torrent, they swirled around Li Cheng.

In just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the two torrents erupted with overwhelming Divine Power, howling as they suddenly came to a halt on either side of Li Cheng.

The moment they stopped, they had already solidified into over a million Divine Venerable Pills and a million top-quality Divine Artifacts!

At that moment, it was as if the space within the bubble had frozen. All cultivators were stunned, even the Two Venerables of Young and Old stood motionless in shock.

“Did you see that? The Pill Artifact Array, my Junior Brother’s three methods, could be called supreme, right?” Light Destroying Heaven Venerable turned and said with a smile.

Streamer Heavenly Venerable nodded, “I’ve already said, he’s my Junior Brother too!”

“Shameless, claiming that connection?”

“As if you’re the honorable one! Are we done here?”

Light Destroying Heaven Venerable chuckled teasingly and looked at Tian Xinghe, “Sect Master Tian, the sound and image have been recorded, right? Make sure to spread it.”

Tian Xinghe cupped his fists towards Light Destroying Heaven Venerable, “Heaven Venerable, rest assured!”

To his surprise, Streamer Heavenly Venerable exclaimed, “You… didn’t include me in this!”

It was only then he realized that the two had actually conspired to record the sound and images of Li Cheng’s Alchemy and Artifact Refining and to spread them.

Once this was released, Li Cheng’s reputation as supreme in the Pill Artifact Array would certainly be solidified!

By that time, it would surely cause an uproar throughout the entire Divine Realm!

There had been rumors before about Li Cheng’s unparalleled Pill Artifact Array, but few had witnessed it for themselves. Now, with the recordings and a push in the right direction, it would rapidly spread throughout the Divine Realm.

Then would come the moment when Li Cheng’s fame would echo throughout the Divine Realm.

And riding on the waves of this fame would, of course, be the Confucian Sect and the Dayan Divine Sect.

The crowd finally regained its senses, then erupted into a tsunami of exclamations!

Within the entire space bubble, vibrations swept out suddenly; many cultivators were so excited they could not control themselves, inadvertently allowing their Divine Power to permeate the surroundings.

“`

Thankfully, Li Cheng had the foresight, and under the ninth-level Divine Array, he managed to suppress everyone’s Divine Power Fluctuations in an instant, otherwise, those cultivators with lower cultivation would have been out of luck.

Li Cheng gave a fist salute to his surroundings and, not caring about those Divine Pills and Divine Artifacts, stepped forward to leave ahead with the two Heaven Venerables.

This place had its own Tian Xinghe to wrap things up.

Several days later, the impact Li Cheng had made hadn’t lessened; instead, it had spread throughout the entire Divine Realm.

The entire Divine Realm was abuzz with discussions about Li Cheng’s mastery of the Pill Artifact Array during the ceremonial rites.

And at Cang Peak, the Formation had already been activated, preventing those hot-headed cultivators from causing disturbances.

Having met once with the high ranks of the Dayan Divine Sect, including those three God Children in the Divine Emperor’s Realm, all of them held Li Cheng in high respect.

After a few more days, Li Cheng finally had some free time and called the Two Venerables of Young and Old through a transmission.

“I didn’t expect that aside from Elder Li’s astonishing identity, his mastery over the three aspects of Pill Artifact Array was so terrifying, my apologies for the disrespect,” both venerables bowed simultaneously.

Li Cheng waved his hand dismissively, “Let’s discuss the important matters!”

The Two Venerables of Young and Old exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat embarrassed.

Venerable Sou cleared his throat, “Before we continue, we owe Elder Li an apology!”

“Oh? What for?” Li Cheng’s frown was imperceptible.

Venerable Sou sighed, “The truth is, we previously claimed we had entered the Holy Scripture of Life and Death and failed to gain its recognition, which was a deception to Elder Li!”

Venerable Tong nodded, “In fact, we have never entered the scripture!”

Li Cheng was slightly puzzled, “There’s no need to apologize for that, but I am curious, why claim to have entered if you haven’t?”

Venerable Sou smiled wryly, “We were simply worried it was a trap, that’s all.”

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng’s mouth twitched, so they thought of using him as a guinea pig?

You two were worried it was a trap and dared not enter, so you approached me instead?

And you assumed that I wouldn’t worry about it being a trap?

On second thought, it’s true that he wasn’t worried; after all, he had such a solid background.

“Enough, let’s discuss the important matters, the Book of Confucius!” said Li Cheng.

The Two Venerables of Young and Old quickly bowed, “Thank you, Elder Li, for your understanding!”

“The Book of Confucius is in the Sword Burial Sea!”

The Sword Burial Sea is a notoriously dangerous place in the Divine Realm and also the ancestral land of sword cultivators. Legend has it that over nine hundred billion years ago, approximately during the era of the first Confucius Ancestor, there existed an extremely powerful sect known as the Sword Sect, the source of all sword cultivators.

That was an era dominated by sword cultivators, with even the Confucian Sect far from comparing. It was said that extraterritorial powerhouses invaded, and the Sword Sect led the strong forces of the Divine Realm to battle on their turf.

That battle resulted in the destruction of the Sword Sect, with countless strong fighters of the Divine Realm perishing or being gravely injured, and even the first Confucius Ancestor fell!

The land where the Sword Sect was located sank into the sea, which was thereafter known to later generations as the Sword Burial Sea!

For countless years since then, every sword cultivator has made pilgrimages to the Sword Burial Sea to venerate their ancestors, and occasionally, during these tributes, unexpected benefits have drifted out from the sea, which has kept the practice unbroken for hundreds of billions of years.

Moreover, with the succession of generations’ tributes, the Sword Burial Sea has nurtured an astonishing Sword Dao charm and has become a holy land for sword cultivators.

Li Cheng pondered the significance of the Sword Burial Sea and frowned at the Two Venerables of Young and Old, “Are you certain you’re not playing me?”

The Book of Confucius would most likely be in the Sword Burial Sea, where the first Confucius Ancestor fell!

The successive generations of the Confucian Sect had thought the same way, so for hundreds of billions of years, countless members of the sect had explored the Sword Burial Sea, but none had found the book.

Li Cheng was aware of this; his father had also explored the Sword Burial Sea but failed to find the Book of Confucius.

In light of this, could the words of the Two Venerables of Young and Old be trusted?

“The Sword Burial Sea is the place where the first Confucius Ancestor fell, so it’s indeed possible that the Book of Confucius is there. If you inferred this, then I regret to tell you that you’re most likely mistaken,” said Li Cheng.

The Two Venerables of Young and Old hurriedly shook their heads, Venerable Sou explained, “It’s not an inference, we truly know that the Book of Confucius is in the Sword Burial Sea!”

Li Cheng was confused, they sounded so certain.

Then why hadn’t the countless strong members of the Confucian Sect found it throughout the billion-year history?

After pondering for a few seconds, Li Cheng asked, “How so?”
