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

As soon as Li Cheng spoke, everyone was already racing to fly out, vying with one another in their eagerness.

"A level eight Divine Medicine with Spiritual Wisdom is comparable to the power of an early-stage Divine Emperor. What\'s the rush?" Li Cheng teased.

At his words, everyone hastily stopped in their tracks, even the Mole hurriedly returned.

This was also the reason why Li Cheng hadn\'t let everyone consider targeting the level eight and nine Divine Medicines for the time being—it was too dangerous!

"Divine Medicines without Spiritual Wisdom are not that dangerous. The one pointed out by the Mole hasn\'t developed Spiritual Wisdom. You can completely overcome it if you join forces," Li Cheng added.

With Li Cheng\'s reminder, everyone was cautious and turned their eyes towards Yun Tianqiong.

Yun Tianqiong held a Divine Sword in his hand, a top Law Divine Artifact, and had the Extinguishing Divine Array. If there was a chance to activate it, even a level eight Divine Medicine with Spiritual Wisdom could be subdued. However, the precondition was having the opportunity to activate it, but the reality was, encountering such Divine Medicine, they definitely had no chance.

Yun Tianqiong\'s expression became serious, "Master, rest assured!"

Li Cheng nodded, then suddenly frowned as his consciousness left outside was touched by Grand Venerable Bai Jie!

"You all continue!"

After giving the instruction, Li Cheng left the Divine World.

Outside the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism, Grand Venerable Bai Jie stood with his hands behind his back. Upon seeing Li Cheng emerge, he nodded slightly, "Master is looking for you, on Book Mountain."

On Book Mountain, the Confucius Ancestor sat cross-legged, with the Heaven and Earth Chessboard placed before him. His eyes stared intently at the chessboard, his expression flitting between changes.

With Li Cheng\'s arrival, the Confucius Ancestor put away the chessboard, looked up at the distant Sea of Learning, and said, "The source of the Essence of the Styx River has been traced!"

"Could it be that it wasn\'t the doing of the God Race?" Li Cheng asked curiously.

If it had been the God Race, Father would probably not play coy, but would have spoken directly.

The Confucius Ancestor nodded, then said, "It\'s said that there are skies beyond skies. Do you think this saying is also applicable to the Divine Realm?"

Li Cheng showed surprise, "Father isn\'t referring to other universes but higher-level worlds? Is the Essence of the Styx River related to this?"

Father knew about other universes. The question he was asking now naturally indicated higher-level worlds.

The Confucius Ancestor was silent for a few seconds before saying, "The Divine Realm has evolved the Supreme Law; I stepped into the Half Venerable Realm first. Currently, the Divine Realm\'s Supreme Law is not Complete, hence it\'s impossible to step into the Supreme Realm, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng understood, the astonishment in his eyes deepened, "Is the Essence of the Styx River brought here by a being from the Supreme Realm? He is already in the Supreme Realm when it\'s not yet possible for such a realm to emerge in the Divine Realm, is that why Father mentioned a higher-level world?"

Talking with Li Cheng had always been straightforward; he understood as soon as it was spoken.

The Confucius Ancestor nodded, looking up at the sky, yet he remained silent.

Li Cheng composed himself, "Once the Divine Realm\'s Supreme Law is Complete, Father can also step into that realm."

Finally, the Confucius Ancestor spoke, "That powerful being calls himself the Netherworld Ancestor, and says he bears no ill will toward the Divine Realm. Do you believe him?"

Li Cheng frowned. A being of the Supreme Realm would be invincible in the current Divine Realm. If he wanted to unify the Divine Realm or annihilate a certain race, it would likely be no challenge.

Yet, his arrival seemed to be just to embed the Essence of the Styx River in the burial grounds of various races, giving rise to Dead Spirits.

What was his purpose in doing this?

"Father, have you met this being?" Li Cheng asked.

"Some years ago when I joined forces with the Dragon Emperor to activate the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, although that person did not show himself, his voice appeared. He said he had no malice towards the Divine Realm and ordered us not to interfere with the Essence of the Styx River he left behind," the Confucius Ancestor said this wistfully.

When such a powerful being speaks, can one simply ignore his words?

If we were to anger him, who under heaven could withstand him?

After pondering for a few seconds, Li Cheng said, "That is to say, he really has no ill will? After all, with his strength, if he had any, there would be no need for such complications."

"The Dragon Emperor and I think so too, but that person has revealed very little information. It\'s difficult to judge, and we don\'t know what he intends to do. Moreover, the Dragon Emperor and I have calculated that the Divine Realm\'s catastrophe has not disappeared," the Confucius Ancestor said, his words tinged with a sense of helplessness.

Originally, it was predicted that a huge catastrophe was coming to the Divine Realm, and only Li Cheng could avert it. That was why they divided Li Cheng\'s soul and sent it to two places to grow, to avoid the scrutiny of the catastrophe.

This catastrophe affects the entire Divine Realm, including the various Immortal Realms and mortal realms below, essentially the entire universe.

Now that an unknown Supreme Realm powerhouse has emerged, how can one not think of the coming of a great calamity?

"That mighty being is harnessing the Essence of the Styx River to spur the creation of Dead Spirits; he must be preparing for something. The disaster is likely to come from him, or he may also be preparing for the disaster," Li Cheng said.

Confucius Ancestor nodded, "We have considered all these points, so, the Sovereign of Origin has already gone to look for this person. Yet, after so many years, he has not been found; that person clearly does not want to meet us."

"He calls himself Netherworld Ancestor and has brought a great deal of the Essence of the Styx River with him. Could it be related to the Styx?" Li Cheng asked.

"The whereabouts of the Styx are untraceable. Perhaps the Supreme Realm strong one has the ability to hide it or maybe he is the embodiment of the Styx itself," Li Cheng continued.

Confucius Ancestor heaved a sigh, "The unknown is the most helpless thing. I have asked you to come in order to urge you to hasten your cultivation."

"Back then, when you obtained that strange Enlightenment Stone that recognized you as its master and disappeared within you, I suspected it might come from a higher-level world. Now with the emergence of this Netherworld Ancestor, I am almost certain of it."

"Unfortunately, we are still unable to make contact with it now."

"I have a faint feeling that when the Divine Realm evolves a complete Supreme Law, it will be the day the great calamity descends; there isn\'t much time left."

Li Cheng furrowed his brows slightly; it only takes ten thousand years for the Divine Realm to evolve a complete Supreme Law, and now only slightly over nine thousand years are left.

Initially returning with the Spirit of the World to the Divine Realm allowed it to evolve, but he never expected it would bring about a disaster. Could it have been a mistake?

What his father said brought a great pressure to him!

Perhaps he should take on more disciples, harvest more chances for Enlightenment, step into the Divine Emperor\'s Realm, and then attempt to comprehend the Supreme Law; growing along with the Divine Realm, once its Supreme Law is complete, he should also be able to comprehend it in its entirety immediately.

"If the Netherworld Ancestor with his Supreme Realm cultivation was able to come to the Divine Realm, that means there should be a passage between the Divine Realm and wherever he came from. We have discussed this, and the greatest possibility lies beyond the realms," Confucius Ancestor added.

"The Sovereign of Origin is still searching for the Netherworld Ancestor. Dragon Emperor and I prepare to venture outside the realms. If we can reach the world of the Netherworld Ancestor, perhaps we can step into the Supreme Realm sooner," Confucius Ancestor said.

These words from Confucius Ancestor gave Li Cheng a jolt, "This is unwise, even if you find it, how can father be sure you\'ll be able to return? Just like we can\'t go to the various Immortal Realms now."

Confucius Ancestor fell silent, then shook his head with a smile, "It\'s possible to go to the various Immortal Realms, it\'s just that Sovereign of Origin, Dragon Emperor, and I have jointly sealed off the pathways. Otherwise, how do you think your Eighth Senior Brother and Little Junior Sister managed to go to the Kunlun Immortal Realm?"

Li Cheng was taken aback; indeed, both his Eighth Senior Brother and Little Junior Sister had gone to the Kunlun Immortal Realm in their avatar forms.

"It\'s the same principle. Netherworld Ancestor came to the Divine Realm at the peak of his combat power, so we believe there must be a pathway for passage to and from it," Confucius Ancestor continued.

Li Cheng was still unwilling for his father to leave and said, "Several ancestors of the Confucian Sect, when their lifespan was coming to an end, left the Divine Realm. They probably were also looking for such a passage but never returned…"

Confucius Ancestor waved his hand to interrupt Li Cheng, patted his shoulder, and said, "That\'s why we have prepared three plans. Sovereign of Origin will carry out one, Dragon Emperor and I will carry out another, and the third one lies with you!"

"With that Divine Artifact likely coming from such a place, you grow extremely fast with it, and you may even reach a level parallel with the evolution of the Divine Realm, correct?"

Li Cheng sighed, knowing he couldn\'t persuade his father, so he nodded, "I understand, father, don\'t worry!"

A smile of relief appeared on Confucius Ancestor\'s face as he nodded, "In the face of danger, there is only responsibility!"

As the voice of Confucius Ancestor faded, his figure slowly dissipated!

The senior brothers, as if they sensed something, all appeared around Li Cheng. Grand Venerable Bai Jie was the first to speak, "Has the Master left?"

Li Cheng looked at his senior brothers; it seemed they had long known about their father\'s departure.

He nodded and said with clasped fists, "Fellow Senior Brothers, I too need to leave for some time!"

The departure was naturally for the purpose of continuing to take disciples and harvest Enlightenment chances.

Once upon a time, Li Cheng thought with these twelve disciples, he would have enough chances for Enlightenment.

But now it seems, not enough!

"The Master has assigned us all tasks. Little Junior Brother, I won\'t be able to accompany you!" Grand Venerable Bai Jie said with regret.

His daughter was with Li Cheng, and he naturally wished to follow him.

"Go ahead, there\'s no need to worry about the Confucian Sect," Hua Tianji said.

Li Cheng nodded, sent all his disciples into the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism, took none with him, and left the Confucian Sect alone.

"System, detect disciples that meet the criteria!"
