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

This sufficiently indicated that Emperor Xuankong intended to support the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty.

Nodding, Kong Linfeng said, “If he is unwilling, I hope Emperor Xuankong will be understanding!”

Unwilling?

Who would be unwilling to take over the Land Puppet Mansion, which controls one hundred and eight domains, with unimaginable resources and benefits?

Emperor Xuankong was not concerned and said, “Others worry half a year isn’t enough, yet he finished the first round of three events in less than half an hour. With half a year left, please have him come up to meet later!”

Li Cheng had entered the Formation competition space bubble, which had twelve formations arranged within. These twelve formations formed a chain array, and one was considered successful if they could traverse these formations within half a year.

Li Cheng walked step by step. The formations seemed non-existent to him; there wasn’t the slightest obstruction, and he easily finished the route.

This was undoubtedly another jaw-dropping moment.

After leaving the space bubble, Li Cheng intended to return to the stands to watch the others compete, but he was stopped by a Golden Armored Guard.

“Li Cheng?” The Golden Armored Guard said in a warm tone, a smile on his face.

This scene left countless people astonished.

The Golden Armored Guards were the Xuankong Divine Dynasty’s forbidden guards, who, even when meeting general emperors, hardly cracked a smile, yet now they were speaking to Li Cheng with a smile?

One should know that these Golden Armored Guards had previously been stern, wearing somber expressions.

Li Cheng, however, was not surprised. When a person’s strength, status, or capabilities reached a certain level, people around them no longer showed indifference; they showed only warmth.

“His Majesty has summoned you!” the Golden Armored Guard added.

“Oh?” This time, Li Cheng was somewhat surprised. He had just finished the first round, and Emperor Xuankong had summoned him?

Under the guidance of the Golden Armored Guard, he arrived at the imperial city in the sky through the Transmission Array.

“Your Majesty, Demon-suppressing Envoy Li Cheng has been brought here as ordered,” the Golden Armored Guard reported respectfully in front of the Golden Throne Palace.

“Let him enter!”

Stepping into the Golden Throne Palace, powerful auras permeated the hall, making it hard to breathe.

In the hall, over a hundred ministers and military commanders, all were existences of the Divine King level!

Though they kept their auras contained, the might that seeped out was still extremely terrifying.

“Demon-suppressing Envoy Li Cheng pays respects to Your Majesty!” Li Cheng bowed deeply in salute.

A Demon-suppressing Envoy need not kneel before an emperor.

On the throne, Emperor Xuankong wore a smile, clearly not intending to intimidate him; he nodded and said, “Well done, take a seat!”

The seat was arranged next to Kong Linfeng, which surprised Li Cheng. Looking around, he saw that all were ministers from the Xuankong Divine Dynasty; he had not expected Linfeng to be here as well.

Was he truly just an assistant leader?

“Li Cheng, I have discussed with Kong Linfeng and decided to report your unparalleled proficiency in the Pill Artifact Array to the Land Puppet Mansion. When the time comes, someone from there will surely come to take you to meet the Mansion Venerable. Do you have any objections?” Emperor Xuankong got straight to the point.

The Mansion Venerable was honored as the head of an entire mansion, one of only one hundred and eight within the Divine Realm.

Li Cheng pondered; the Blunt Empty Venerable was also in the Land Puppet Mansion City, and should he go, he might be able to meet the Venerable.

But now was not the time. Although his name had spread through the Hundred Dynasties Meeting with his Pill Artifact Array, his cultivation was still low. Going to the Mansion City might not earn him sufficient regard.

Li Cheng also clearly understood that this was something the Xuankong Divine Dynasty would surely report. Emperor Xuankong was not seeking his opinion but merely affording him honor by informing him about it.

Moreover, in his presence, Emperor Xuankong did not refer to himself as “I” or “noble me,” showing no superiority, which was astonishing by itself.

With that thought, Li Cheng stood up and clasped his fists, “I am at Your Majesty’s arrangement.”

If he really had to go meet the Mansion Venerable, then so be it; he could always return after the visit.

Emperor Xuankong nodded in satisfaction, “I see you have comprehended not many of the Rule of Fire, and there is half a year until the next event. Would you like to spend this half a year to understand more of the Rule of Fire?”

Upon hearing this, the assembly of ministers was stunned. They understood Emperor Xuankong’s implication: he was offering Li Cheng the chance to train in that treasured place!

And that place, even among the imperial family, was rarely accessed!

Even Kong Linfeng showed a look of surprise before saying to Li Cheng, “Won’t you thank His Majesty?”

Li Cheng realized that Emperor Xuankong meant to open up a certain treasured location for him.

“Many thanks to Your Majesty!”

Emperor Xuankong flicked his finger, and a Teleportation Gate appeared in the great hall, “Then go!”

Without hesitation, Li Cheng stood up and walked into the Transmission Array.

The scenery before his eyes changed, and in a blink, he found himself amidst a sea of fire.

Looking around, this seemed to be an underground space, with flames blazing all around, including above.

The area was just about ten miles across, perfectly square, with platforms, two meters on a side, standing at intervals, each topped with a cushion.

There were twelve platforms in total; currently, only two were unoccupied while people were meditating on the other ten.

Li Cheng casually chose an empty platform, sat down cross-legged, and began his Enlightenment.

Back in the Golden Throne Palace, a minister joked, “That place is rife with the Rule of Fire, ordinary geniuses can comprehend ten to twenty thousand laws of fire in half a year. I wonder how many he can comprehend.”

“The most outstanding, the Seventh Princess, can comprehend thirty thousand laws in half a year. Although Li Cheng is deemed the future supreme of Pill Artifact Arrays, the speed of comprehending laws mostly depends on one’s comprehension ability, and we do not know how quick Li Cheng’s comprehension is,” another person remarked.
