BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 - 74 Did I, the Young Master, Do Something Wrong? _1
The Astonished God Tripod roared, shooting across the sky like a meteor, and charged straight toward Li Cheng and his two companions.
The three of them exchanged glances, each seeing a trace of wistfulness in the others’ eyes. Wasn’t this a case of ‘flooding the Dragon King’s Temple’?
“Astonished God Tripod, we’ve met before, haven’t you forgotten?” Black Elder shouted.
“Met before, who hasn’t met before? Die!” The youthful voice of the Astonished God Tripod thundered, its momentum unabated.
The Artifact Sect people, relieved of their burden, ecstatically took the opportunity to rush towards the entrance of the Secret Land.
The Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s Immortal Artifact wanted to kill the people of Heavenly Mechanism Sect; ha, the chance to escape had come!
The Astonished God Tripod was too fast, and there was no time to explain; Li Cheng and the others dared not to receive it head-on as it barreled toward them like a meteor, each teleporting out of the way.
“I’ll hold it off, you explain!”
As Li Cheng spoke, he activated the Time Law, enveloping a hundred-meter radius around the Astonished God Tripod, but discovered that it had little effect, only slightly reducing the speed of its collision.
The Time Law was still too weak, with only forty strands, it was difficult to affect an Immortal Artifact or a Heavenly Immortal.
“Astonished God Tripod, we are from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Wu Ya is our senior brother!” Black Elder shouted.
Black Elder’s shout finally caused the Astonished God Tripod to pause slightly, stopping about a zhang away from Li Cheng, “Hmm? Did I, young master, make a mistake?”
Li Cheng extended one hand forward, fending off the powerful aura from the Astonished God Tripod, saying, “Of course you did, look, Lu Sanqian is in my hands.”
“Oh? All, should’ve said that earlier; 1 almost hurt you guys!”
“You being able to kill that old scoundrel Lu Sanqian is quite good, just right, the three of us together with the tripod could join forces to wipe out the Artifact Sect, how about it?”
Li Cheng looked towards the Secret Land entrance, speechless; well, this is great, your antics have allowed those twenty-one people to all escape!
Once those people escaped, they would surely activate all kinds of measures from their sect!
The Black and White Elders looked at the Astonished God Tripod with a wry smile. Now, to talk about wiping out the Artifact Sect; it would be a not-so-small problem for the three of them plus the tripod to safely leave the Artifact Sect.
After all, those measures were powerful enough to kill even True Immortals.
Li Cheng, however, did not care at all. When he used a ploy to get the Artifact Sect to bring him to the Astonished God Tripod, he had already considered the possibility of being trapped.
But Li Cheng knew that with the Space Law in his possession, he could leave if he wanted to, and the Artifact Sect couldn’t stop him!
So he had boldly entered.
“Talk, damn it, those bastards from the Artifact Sect actually tried to refine me while I was asleep, they must be wiped out!” exclaimed the Astonished God Tripod firmly.
Li Cheng and the others realized that it was Lu Sanqian who had managed to awaken the tripod!
Had it awakened sooner, given Lu Sanqian’s strength, he might have found it difficult to suppress the Astonished God Tripod.
“Astonished God Tripod, what nonsense are you spouting? Even if a True Immortal made a move, they couldn’t possibly wipe out my Artifact Sect, just with the three of you and a tripod?” Lu Sanqian snorted coldly.
Li Cheng turned to look at Lu Sanqian in his hand, “Your descendants have fled the Secret Land, now, there’s no need for you to pretend to be tough!” “Brother, let’s discuss a matter!” The Astonished God Tripod, paying no attention to Lu Sanqian, floated over to Li Cheng’s side, its voice carrying a tone of pleasure.
“He is Wu Ya’s disciple, you should address him as Young Master!” Black Elder interjected.
The Astonished God Tripod made a half turn, “What are you blabbing about, Wu Ya is my big brother, not my boss. My only boss is one person, you all know that!”
Turning another half circle, the Astonished God Tripod continued, “Brother, let me supplement myself with this Immortal Infant. Afterwards, I’ll take you to retrieve the inheritance from my master!”
Li Cheng smiled, “The inheritance of the Astonished God Immortal Emperor has already been given to me, I’m kind of his half-disciple.”
The Astonished God Tripod was clearly stunned and did not speak for quite some time.
“Brothers… please let me go, I know I was wrong. Just let me go, and I promise you will leave the Artifact Sect safely and soundly, and I swear I will never be your enemy again!” Lu Sanqian finally found an opportunity and begged.
All three looked simultaneously at the Immortal Infant in Li Cheng’s hand, their expressions somewhat odd.
Lu Sanqian no longer put on a tough front, but obviously he wouldn’t try to cozy up by forcefully calling someone “brother” just to save his own life, right?
Li Cheng casually handed the Immortal Infant over to the Astonished God Tripod, “Take a good nourishment.”
“No, please! I don’t want to die, I beg you!” Lu Sanqian panicked.
The Astonished God Tripod didn’t rush to take the Immortal Infant; instead, it coughed lightly and said, “Since my master has already given you the inheritance, let me ask, you should know of Qi Jingtian, right?”
“You’re asking if the major demon of heaven and earth has transformed? Although it hasn’t, it has already left the Secret Land through an avatar and is now my disciple, within the sect.”
“Haha, that’s great news. Come on, release the tripod within you, and I shall transmit the cultivation methods to it!” the Astonished God Tripod said cheerfully.
It could sense the presence of the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod; Li Cheng wasn’t surprised at all.
Li Cheng summoned the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod. The cultivation methods for the Artifact Spirit, that was something indeed valuable, of course he would let the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod learn them!
Seeing that he was being ignored, Lu Sanqian became even more anxious, “Please, let me go, 1 will tell you everything about Wu Ya immediately!”
The Astonished God Tripod finally paid attention to him, responding contemptuously, “Do I need you to say? I’m well aware of where my elder brother has gone to. 1’11 find him after I destroy the Artifact Sect!”
Not waiting for Lu Sanqian to continue pleading, the lid of the Astonished God Tripod opened and directly absorbed the Immortal Infant.
The next moment, Lu Sanqian’s screams sounded.
“Hehe, you overestimated yourself trying to refine this young master for over twenty years. Now, it’s this young master’s turn to refine you!”
“No…”
Lu Sanqian’s mentality probably collapsed. He thought the inheritance of Qi Jingshen would be within the Astonished God Tripod, so he resorted to all means to refine it; only now did he realize it wasn’t there at all.
Moreover, after refining the Astonished God Tripod for over twenty years with no progress at all, when the Astonished God Tripod made its move, his Immortal Infant couldn’t resist. His consciousness was gradually becoming blurry!
Before long, a comfortable voice emerged from the Astonished God Tripod, “Mmm… this Heavenly Immortal Complete Immortal Infant has lost very little Immortal Power, delightful!”
“Brother, you’re even stronger than I imagined. Lu Sanqian barely put up a fight before you destroyed his Immortal Body!”
From the Immortal Yuan remaining in the Immortal Infant, the Astonished God Tripod made its deduction.
Li Cheng, however, was skeptical, “Wasn’t he just at the early stages of Heavenly Immortal?”
“It’s a Heavenly Immortal Complete. How could you think he was at the early stages?” the Astonished God Tripod asked in confusion.
Li Cheng frowned and immediately understood; he’d been deceived by that Remnant Soul before! That Remnant Soul when alive, was definitely not just at the True Immortal level but stronger!
This deception led him to always believe others were lying about their cultivation levels!
Because of this, he’d even looked down on others for being shameless!
Feng Wanli, Lu Sanqian, both of them.
“So, it turns out, I can already easily slay a Heavenly Immortal Complete!” Li Cheng mused after a while.
The Astonished God Tripod was taken aback; it vaguely understood that Li Cheng had probably been deceived by an Immortal and had misunderstood the levels of Heavenly Immortal cultivation.
“Because Loose Immortals haven’t condensed an Immortal Body, many tactics can’t be deployed, and their combat strength compared to a true Immortal…
The combat strength of a Heavenly Immortal Complete is likely just a bit higher than that of a ten Tribulations Loose Immortal!”
“Enough about that, let’s go out and destroy the Artifact Sect!” the Astonished God Tripod declared.
The Black and White Elders exchanged glances; Black Elder said helplessly, “Astonished God Tripod, the Artifact Sect has probably already activated the protective mechanism left by the Immortals by now. Thinking of destroying the Artifact Sect, how easy could that be?”
“That’s right, we’d be lucky just to safely leave the Artifact Sect!” White Elder said.
The Astonished God Tripod fell silent for a few seconds, “That’s true, but not having a big fight would hardly settle my grudge!”
Li Cheng looked towards the entrance of the Secret Land, his brow slightly furrowed, “The Artifact Sect is attacking the Secret Land.. It looks like they want to shatter the Secret Land to have us perish along with it!”
