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

Li Cheng’s expression remained calm. Although it emanated a faint divine might, it was nothing compared to the divine bones he had collected.

Now that his Rule of Fire was complete, and he had the Judge Pen in hand, there was no need to worry.

“You all wait here, I’ll go in alone to take a look,”

Without waiting for Ao Qianchi to reply, Li Cheng had already stepped into the mansion.

Ao Qianchi was about to speak when his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, looking towards Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, “How did Li Cheng get in? I haven’t opened the formation crack yet!”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shook his head, “His array mastery is probably close to stepping into the ranks of an Array Divine Master. Immortal Arrays cannot stop him.”

Ao Qianchi raised an eyebrow, “Impossible, just over a decade ago he was still a Golden Immortal. Now, his cultivation in the Immortal Emperor Realm is already defying the heavens, and his array mastery compares to an Array Divine Master? How many years of arduous cultivation would that require?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan smiled without saying a word.

Ao Qianchi pondered, “Could he be the reincarnation of a deity, or has undergone Divine Spirit Possession?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan rolled his eyes, “I’ve watched him grow from the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Don’t be fooled by his strength, hehe, there are many basic techniques of an Immortal that he cannot do.”

Ao Qianchi was astonished; of course, he understood this meant growing up too quickly without the time to learn those basic techniques, “But it still doesn’t make sense. Why is his array mastery so… Could it be that he has received the inheritance of an Array Divine Master?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shook his head silently. He knew that Li Cheng had received the array inheritance of the Five Elements Great Emperor, but that was Li Cheng’s secret. How could he disclose it casually?

Moreover, the array inheritance from the Five Elements Great Emperor was only at the ninth-grade Array Immortal Master level. Li Cheng reaching his current heights was mainly due to his own comprehension.

Li Cheng entered the mansion, casually taking out the Judge Pen.

In the midst of this deathly aura, the Judge Pen thrived like a fish in water, absorbing the death qi like a whale swallowing the sea.

Li Cheng shifted his gaze to the ground. With a step, the ground itself parted, revealing a fissure that led straight to the depths below.

As the fissure appeared, the death qi howled out, but with the Judge Pen in hand, it was still easily absorbed.

“Not even leaving me a bit?” Li Cheng looked at the Judge Pen and, holding onto it, flew into the fissure.

The Death Essence Qi Orb that Ao Qianchi had given years ago was still in his possession. Li Cheng had not refined it and naturally did not care whether the Judge Pen absorbed the pervasive death qi here; his comment was just in passing.

A hundred meters below the ground, an earthy yellow light membrane spiraled, enveloping a ten-foot radius, exuding an immensely heavy feeling.

Within the light membrane, a skeleton entwined with death qi sat cross- legged, resisting the suppressive force emitted by the membrane.

The skeleton was intact, its body radiating a black jade-like luster, with divine might emanating through the array.

Indeed, it was a Divine Bone!

However, this Divine Bone had completely transformed into a member of the Bone Clan, and even if its nascent spiritual intelligence were erased, the power of this Divine Bone was no longer suitable for human Cultivators to absorb and refine.

Of course, the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture was an exception.

Li Cheng had no intention of absorbing and refining the power of this Divine Bone; he simply wanted to neutralize it, eradicating this potential grave threat to the Southern Domain.

“No wonder so many Dead Spirits came back then. A Divine Bone transformed Bone Clan member can easily grow into an incredibly powerful being. It’s natural for the Dead Spirits not to want to abandon such an enforcer,” Li Cheng mused.

Within the light membrane, the skeleton seemed to sense something and slowly stood up, its hollow eye sockets looking towards Li Cheng.

Li Cheng, completely unafraid, met its gaze, “Who are you?”

The nascent spiritual intelligence borne from this Divine Bone might not know its own origin, but Li Cheng still asked, holding out hope.

“Are you asking about me, or my predecessor?” the skeleton spoke. Its voice was hoarse, sounding like bones grinding.

“Predecessor!”

The skeleton chuckled mockingly and did not answer, but said, “You help me break the array, and I shall bestow upon you the Book of Life and Death!”

Li Cheng grabbed the Judge Pen floating beside him, “Actually, I’m not interested in the Judge Pen or the Book of Life and Death. What interests me more is your origin.”

“Not interested? Then why use it?”

Knowing he could not get the origin of this being, Li Cheng simply took out the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal and activated it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the light of the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal flickered, pointing towards the skeleton!

Li Cheng laughed, “So that’s how it is. Back in the day, Grand Venerable Bai Jie used Blunt Empty City to suppress you, must have been playing the long game to catch a big fish!”

This member of the Bone Clan was actually an avatar of the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor!

And Bai Jie suppressed him here, surely to lie in wait for the real body to arrive.

After all, back then, the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor had hidden too well!

Over a decade ago, when those from the Death Race attacked, Ao Qianchi pursued and encountered a powerful Dead Spirit, who severely wounded him with a palm strike through a spatial rift. The person who made the move was very likely another avatar of the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor.

“Kid, with the Judge Pen in hand, if you also obtain the Book of Life and Death, with a single stroke you could determine life and death, do you truly have no interest?” the skeleton said again.

Li Cheng was astounded, “You don’t know the Judge Pen is possessed by your main body? That means it was acquired after you were separated, hmm, it’s highly likely he obtained it when he hid in the Three-way Abyss, so you don’t know.”

The skeleton fell silent, anger seemingly swelling within its dark eye sockets.

“The Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor really has some tricks up his sleeve, being able to split his soul to guide a Divine Bone into becoming of the Bone Clan, or perhaps it is the Spiritual Wisdom born from possessing the Divine Bone. However, since I’ve encountered you, well, might as well kill you off!”

The Ten Thousand Traits Stealing the Heavenly Scripture gathered the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal, using it to possess or control others. It’s truly unknown how many powerful beings the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor has controlled.

As Li Cheng finished speaking, he focused his attention on the light membrane.

This was the core area of the Immortal Array within the residence, a ninth-tier Immortal Array. There was no need to break the formation; it was completely possible to use it to slaughter the skeleton.

With his body of Divine Bones, Li Cheng naturally couldn’t destroy him, but he could destroy the soul the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor had entrusted within.

Hearing Li Cheng’s words, the skeleton’s eye sockets filled with even more deathly aura, as if it was secretly pleased, “Kid, if you want to kill me, you’ll need the ability to break the formation!”

If Li Cheng broke the formation, it would give the skeleton a chance to escape!

“You’re thinking too much. No need to break the formation, I can just use it to kill you directly.”

As Li Cheng’s words fell, Array Patterns surged around his body, rushing into the light membrane!

With Li Cheng’s enhancement, the light membrane’s earthy yellow radiance grew increasingly powerful, and the skeleton, too, began to tremble slightly as though it could hardly bear the might of the formation.

“Stop!”

Li Cheng continued unabated, urging the Array Patterns into the light membrane while his hands formed seals, controlling the flow of the Array Patterns all around the light membrane, continuously strengthening the formation.

“Kid, stop now, and I can tell you a monumental secret!” the skeleton panicked!

His body of Divine Bones could withstand the might of the formation, but his soul could not!

This was the weakness of possessing the Bone Clan, not being born from the fusion with this body of bones; it was difficult to fully integrate after possession.

Without full integration, the Divine Bones naturally couldn’t protect the soul within very well.

“Neither the Judge Pen nor the Book of Life and Death interests me, and neither does the great secret you’re about to tell!” Li Cheng said.

“No, you’ll absolutely be interested. This is a secret I discovered after taking over this Divine Bone, which even my main body and other avatars don’t know,” the skeleton hastily said.

Li Cheng sneered, “I won’t stop, but if you can say something to my satisfaction, perhaps I will.”

The skeleton gritted its teeth, “Grand Venerable Bai Jie is from several eras ago, he sent his Divine Soul through the Long River of Time to this era. Given time, he will surely turn this era into purgatory, perhaps even end it. I know how to stop him!”

Li Cheng looked disdainfully at the skeleton, “Who believes that? Grand Venerable Bai Jie acts for this era, ridding it of scum like you. What does it matter which era he comes from?”

“No, the resources of heaven and earth are limited, he’s seizing the resources of this era…”

“I’m not interested in that secret,” Li Cheng interrupted.

The skeleton was furious, “In the previous era, deities were countless, yet in this era, deities struggle to emerge. Don’t you want to know why?”

“In this world, perhaps only I am aware, all the answers lie in the Three-way Abyss!”

That declaration did make Li Cheng nod in understanding, “No wonder your main body ran off to the Three-way Abyss. Alright then, any last words? If you’re going to say something like you did it for this era, save it.”

The skeleton was dumbfounded. How could this kid be so impervious? But if the main body went to the Three-way Abyss, what was the outcome? Could this kid really have taken the Judge Pen from the main body?
