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

Li Cheng closed his eyes, using the connection with that spiritual sense to feel around.

The next moment, through that spiritual sense, Li Cheng saw clearly that Yun Tianqiong was captured by a one-armed middle-aged man.

In front of them lay a corpse chopped in half.

“Good job, kid. If 1 hadn’t moved quickly, I’d have ended up like him!” the middle-aged man holding Yun Tianqiong sneered.

Yun Tianqiong was completely powerless to struggle in his grasp, glaring angrily at the middle-aged man, “You’re a lofty Loose Immortal, yet you attack a junior who’s just at the beginning stage of the Qi Cultivation Realm—do you have no shame?”

During his days away, Yun Tianqiong had clearly dealt with the affairs of the dynasty and had once again stepped into the Qi Cultivation Realm.

“Heh, the Qi Cultivation Realm? You’ve just killed a Loose Immortal!” the middle-aged man scoffed with a cold laugh.

The tone shifted as the middle-aged man sneered, “Being chosen by me is a fortune you’ve cultivated over several lifetimes. Speak, who is the one who bestowed Sword Qi upon you?”

Disdain filled Yun Tianqiong’s angry eyes, “Scared? If you’re scared, then let me go-”

A stroke of Sword Qi killed a Loose Immortal and even severed another Loose Immortal’s arm—Yun Tianqiong’s admiration for his master was immense.

But the Sword Qi was exhausted; facing a Loose Immortal, he was completely out of options!

“Pah! A mighty Loose Immortal like me, afraid of someone at the Complete Transcendance Tribulation Stage? The reason I ask is to eradicate the roots completely!” the middle-aged man laughed coldly.

That being said, the middle-aged man’s heart was full of doubt. The Sword Qi was clearly only at the power level of the Complete Transcendance Tribulation Stage, but how could it kill a Loose Immortal instantly?

This was truly inconceivable!

Therefore, he needed to get to the bottom of this, to see exactly what kind of background the other party had.

The look of disdain in Yun Tianqiong’s eyes grew even thicker, “You can’t even block a single stroke of Sword Qi from my master and you’re dreaming of eradicating the roots?”

“You don’t have to tell me; I’ll find out soon enough!”

Having said that, the middle-aged man, holding the restrained Yun Tianqiong, picked up the corpse as well and flew off into the distance.

In the moment the spiritual sense dissipated, it quickly formed into a Soul Seal and landed on the corner of Yun Tianqiong’s robe.

With that, the scene vanished.

Li Cheng abruptly opened his eyes, “Red Flame Gorge!”

“Second Tribulation Loose Immortal, you’d better not harm my disciple, or I will utterly annihilate you!”

As he spoke to himself, Li Cheng put away the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod and disappeared from the spot.

Those in the square were stunned—what happened? Why did he leave?

All the ingredients had been placed inside the tripod!

Just as he was about to start alchemy, he just left?

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Eighteenth Elder has urgent matters to attend to. I believe he will return shortly. Please remain calm!”

Mu Xingzhi flew up above the square, his voice spreading throughout the area.

Immediately after, Mu Xingzhi hastily flew to Heaven Secret Peak and whispered urgently, “Black and White Uncle Ancestors, come here quickly!”

The Black and White Elders had been hiding in the shadows, ready to watch Li Cheng perform alchemy, when he unexpectedly ran off.

Hearing Mu Xingzhi’s voice, they appeared together, “Mu Xingzhi, what’s going on?”

Mu Xingzhi bowed, “Black and White Uncle Ancestors, I had previously divined with the Heaven Secret Technique. There were signs of good and bad from the north—likely the Pill Sect for the good, but the bad…”

“Could very well be this trip taken by the younger uncle!”

Black Elder frowned, “Could very well be? Can’t you be more certain?”

Mu Xingzhi looked helpless, “With the younger uncle’s cultivation so strong, how could my Heaven Secret Technique predict him?”

Black Elder waved his hand dismissively, “You must know what happened, right? Just now I heard you mention that Sword Qi was utilized.”

“A few days ago, the younger uncle bestowed a stroke of Sword Qi on his disciple. The fact that it was just used means that his disciple must have encountered danger,” explained Mu Xingzhi.

The Black and White Elders nodded in unison, with Black Elder adding, “Then why don’t you calculate for his disciple instead?”

Old Bai shook his head repeatedly, “No need, Li Cheng must be alright, let’s go have a look!”

Li Cheng raced on, and within half an hour, he had already crossed over a hundred thousand li to arrive at the scene.

The scene was marked by a sword qi that had cleaved a deep trench of several li in length, still filled with terrifying sword qi fluctuations.

After glancing at the bloodstains on the ground, Li Cheng shifted his gaze forward.

Ahead lay the famous Red Flame Gorge of the Southern Domain. Called a gorge, it was actually a vast mountain range with a central area that spanned thousands of li in a gorge streaked with red flames, hence its name.

It was rumored to have been created by the Grand Venerable Bai Jie in a battle with a great being from the Immortal World a hundred thousand years ago.

The Red Flame Gorge was teeming with demon beasts, with some in the central area even reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

Li Cheng sensed around and, indeed, within the Red Flame Gorge, he felt the presence of his own Soul Seal.

“What is that Loose Immortal doing taking Yun Tianqiong inside?”

Contemplating, Li Cheng’s figure flashed as he headed straight towards the Soul Seal.

Shortly, Li Cheng arrived at the center of the gorge.

Looking out, the long gorge seemed endless, at least ten li wide, flanked by cliffs over ten li high, atop which burned the red flames.

The entire gorge was filled with scorching heat, a place where those below the Nascent Soul Stage certainly couldn’t linger long without being turned to ash.

After scouting the area, Li Cheng’s gaze turned to the cliff, “Come out!”

The cliff revealed no flaws, appearing to be just an ordinary wall, but Li Cheng could clearly sense that there was a cave about ten meters high, disguised by a formation as part of the cliff.

Within the disguised cliff, there was no response.

Li Cheng flicked his fingers, sending out array patterns, and in an instant, created an opening in the formation.

Behind the opening, a middle-aged man looked on in astonishment, his gaze fixed on Li Cheng in disbelief.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Li Cheng’s figure flashed, and in the next second, he appeared in front of the middle-aged man, grabbing his throat before he could even react.

Sword qi emanated from Li Cheng’s hand, ready to shatter the man’s neck at any moment.

“You… how is this possible? Let me go!” the middle-aged man’s pupils suddenly constricted, he exclaimed in a shuddering voice.

He was a two-Tribulation Loose Immortal, after all. How could he be so powerless in the grasp of Li Cheng, who had reached the complete stage of Tribulation Crossing?

This made no sense!

Li Cheng ignored the middle-aged man, holding him by the neck as he walked deeper into the cave.

“Let me go, or my master will surely take your life!” the middle-aged man tried to struggle, but under the suppression of Li Cheng’s sword qi, he couldn’t resist at all.

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow subtly, “A dignified two-Tribulation Loose Immortal, still recognizing someone as master? Where is your dignity?”

“What do you know? My master is a formidable being who descended from the Immortal World, to take me as a servant is my honor. If you don’t let go, you’re as good as dead!”

“Idiot!”

Li Cheng scoffed, and before him now stood a vast underground hall spanning several hundred zhang.

In the center of the hall was a spirit pool about the size of a Zhang, within which Yun Tianqiong was immersed and trembling slightly.

Li Cheng sensed the spirit pool and found that it contained Sword Path Rules!

Those Sword Path Rules were continuously cleansing Yun Tianqiong’s body.

“Hmm? Sword Immortal Pool!” Li Cheng’s brows lifted slightly, what was happening?

Bathing in such a spirit pool was a tremendous opportunity!

Given the current situation, it wouldn’t be long before Yun Tianqiong’s body would be cleansed by the Sword Path Rules into an acquired Sword Body!

“Let him go! I asked him to bring the youngster here; there’s no ill intention,” a voice filled with the weight of years resounded throughout the hall at that moment..
