Chapter 88 - 88 Immortal Emperor Tianyuan i
The black and white qi from the chess pieces connected, and a mysterious fluctuation began to permeate the area.
Yun Fuxue stood at the center of these fluctuations, her eyes slightly closed. Bathed in the glow of the white piece, she looked like a fairy about to descend into the mortal realm.
No, she was indeed a fairy.
Li Cheng could sense the pulsations of the black and white chess pieces and clearly perceived that these fluctuations had invoked the laws of heaven and earth!
Under these pulsations, streaks of flowing light began to twinkle on the gate ahead, as the entirety of the Immortal Mansion started to emerge from both sides of the gate.
The sceneries on both sides of the gate retreated swiftly under the flowing light, revealing ancient walls that exuded an air of antiquity!
The countdown began to decrease!
“Is this an Immortal Mansion? It looks more like an Immortal City,” Qin Wuhun exclaimed in awe.
Li Cheng glanced at the now-visible city walls and then at Yun Fuxue, more interested at the moment in the technique she was performing.
The power she wielded was not merely immortal strength.
Feng Wanli and Qin Wuhun flew to a higher vantage point and peered inside the city walls; a moment later, both of their faces bore looks of astonishment.
However, before they could speak, a sigh echoed from within the city!
Yun Fuxue suddenly opened her eyes wide, halting the operation of the black and white chess pieces, and cried out involuntarily, “Immortal Emperor Tianyuan!”
“Merely a remnant soul!”
“The Confucian Sect has worthy successors, which is indeed delightful. However, Tianyuan City’s opening is still some time away. Little girl, you’re really not giving this emperor much face,” a robust voice declared.
Yun Fuxue took back the black piece and handed the white piece to Qin Wuhun, “So it turns out to be Tianyuan City left by Immortal Emperor Tianyuan. In that case, we can rest easy!”
Feng Wanli and Qin Wuhun landed back on the ground, both visibly relieved. Feng Wanli said, “Who could have guessed that the missing Immortal City of the Immortal World would end up in our Kunlun Realm! This is indeed fortunate.”
Qin Wuhun nodded in agreement.
Being from the Immortal World, all three of them had a deep understanding of it and were familiar with the rumors surrounding Tianyuan City.
Li Cheng did not know, but judging from the others’ reactions, he gathered that the city bore no crisis.
Yet that voice, Li Cheng found it oddly familiar.
Furthermore, the voice seemed deliberately subdued, as if hiding something.
“Leave now. It will open on its own in sixty-nine days, at which point all cultivators may enter the city. What you obtain will depend on fate alone!” the voice added.
Qin Wuhun and the others nodded and together they paid their respects to Tianyuan City.
But Li Cheng’s brows furrowed, “So it’s you. You’ve really put me through the wringer!”
Hm?
All three turned their gazes towards Li Cheng. What was going on?
He was clearly speaking to the remnant soul within the city—that of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan. Had Immortal Emperor Tianyuan deceived Li Cheng? “Young lad, are you addressing this emperor?”
Li Cheng stared at the gate, “Who else? Come out, and 1 promise 1 won’t beat you to death!”
The three were taken aback. Talk to the remnant soul of an Immortal Emperor like this?
“Alright, I admit it. Let bygones be bygones, lad. I’ve been forced back to this place, what more do you want from me?” responded Immortal Emperor Tianyuan with a tone of resignation.
“Come out and we’ll talk!” said Li Cheng, arms crossed over his chest, his tone indifferent.
“I won’t come out!”
“A mighty Immortal Emperor, acting like a shrinking turtle?”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan responded lightly, “In this emperor’s life, whom have 1 ever been afraid of?”
“At least you were afraid of Grand Venerable Bai Jie, right? According to the timeline, you died at his hands, didn’t you?” Li Cheng said, making no attempt to mask the disdain in his words.
“Are you trying to provoke this emperor?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s voice rose a few notches.
Qin Wuhun quickly tugged at Li Cheng, speaking through a transmitted voice, “Stay calm, even though it’s just a remnant soul, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan is not someone we can provoke.”
“What’s there to be nervous about? It’s just a remnant soul, and a weak one at that; the shameless kind.” Li Cheng said outright.
Yun Fuxue looked curiously at Li Cheng, “You’ve encountered him? What happened?”
Before Li Cheng could speak, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan preempted him, “1 left behind Tianyuan City, which contains countless opportunities. I consider this as a contribution to the Kunlun Realm. Little fellow, if you continue to hassle me, I will decidedly destroy Tianyuan City!”
“At that time, the opportunities lost will belong to countless cultivators!”
“If you three don’t want these opportunities to vanish, you’d better persuade him and take him away!”
The words of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan were sowing discord but weren’t untrue.
If Tianyuan City were gone, it indeed would be a loss for the Kunlun Realm.
Li Cheng was calm, “You say the city contains opportunities, they might believe you, but I don’t. You, a lofty Immortal Emperor, even stoop to seizing bodies. Who knows what you’re really planning by opening Tianyuan City this time?”
“Perhaps, you aim to use some secret technique to devour many cultivators and restore your remnant soul!”
Feng Wanli was startled, “Could it be? Li Cheng, he’s Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, quite renowned in the Immortal World, why would he do such a thing?”
Li Cheng countered, “Then tell me, what’s a remnant soul like him lingering on for?”
Qin Wuhun took up the conversation, trying to say, “Looking for a disciple?”
“Correct, you’re smart, you’ve seen through this emperor’s intentions!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said with satisfaction.
With that, Li Cheng knew something was definitely off with the remnant soul of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan; perhaps he had hit the nail on the head!
In that case, it was all the more reason not to let him remain!
Upon receiving praise from Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, a look of delight came over Qin Wuhun’s face, “Fellow Daoist Li, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan is right. If someone could receive his inheritance, that would be a joyous occasion for our Kunlun Realm. Why don’t we leave?”
Li Cheng shrugged, “His successor has already been chosen, and with the remnant soul still lurking here, he definitely has ulterior motives!”
“Already?”
The three of them looked at Li Cheng in unison, curious who had received the inheritance of such a grand Immortal Emperor.
They knew that Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was unparalleled in strength and cultivated the top-ranked Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture among the ten great mystical scriptures!
If he had a successor, wouldn’t that mean someone was cultivating the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture?
Li Cheng knew what the three were thinking, but still nodded, “Yes, in his bid for a soul takeover, he has already given the rules of the Sword Dao to my disciple Yun Tianqiong, even using Sword Essence to coalesce a Sword Body for my disciple.”
“As for the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, what he cultivated was incomplete and has not been passed down.”
The three of them were skeptical. Could Immortal Emperor Tianyuan be that powerful with an incomplete scripture?
After all, he was one of the top beings in the Immortal World.
Li Cheng didn’t want the three to know that he was cultivating the complete Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture and continued, “Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, am 1 right?”
“Why can’t you tolerate this emperor? What exactly do you want?” The coldness in Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s voice intensified.
The three knew this was as good as a confirmation from Immortal Emperor Tianyuan!
They hadn’t imagined that even an incomplete Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture could forge an Immortal Emperor. How strong would the complete scripture be?
Li Cheng looked towards the gate, “With you in there, 1 don’t feel at ease. You should move on to another place.”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was silent, having lost much of his soul power in the last battle. Nowadays, the power of his remnant soul might not even be a match for a Tribulation Loose Immortal.
Even with the power of Tianyuan City, he could at best protect himself, given that not much strength was left to him.
Would he really be scared off by this brat?
After all, this was his main base!
“Are you going to come out on your own, or should I come in?” Li Cheng’s voice rang out again.
While immersed in thought, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan scoffed, “Come in? If you can get in, I’ll surrender immediately and become your little follower..”
