Chapter 496: Chapter 368: Just Kill Them!_1
Li Cheng gazed at them with doubt, waiting for their answer.
The Two Venerables of Young and Old looked at each other, both wearing bitter smiles on their faces.
The Venerable Young said, "Elder Li might not believe it if we tell you!"
Li Cheng looked at Venerable Young, silently waiting for more.
If you don\'t speak, how would you know if I would believe or not?
Venerable Young sighed and said, "Elder Li, we can swear in any form that the Book of Confucius is indeed in the Sword Burial Sea. The reason the seniors of the Confucian Sect didn\'t find it is probably because they were using the wrong method!"
Venerable Sou nodded, taking over the conversation, "That\'s right, the reason we didn\'t say how we knew is because it\'s somewhat ridiculous!"
"Speak," Li Cheng said indifferently.
The Two Venerables of Young and Old had no choice, and Venerable Sou had to say, "The two of us inherently know that the Book of Confucius is in the Sword Burial Sea, as if we were born with such knowledge!"
"Elder Li might find this ludicrous, right? But the fact is just so!"
"Before, when we mentioned the matter was secretive and didn\'t elaborate, it was entirely because it felt like knowledge we were born with. Speaking out, no one would believe us, so we simply called it a secret."
Li Cheng quietly observed the Two Venerables of Young and Old. They had taken an oath in the past, so what they said should not be false.
This is strange. Born with the knowledge that the Book of Confucius is in the Sword Burial Sea?
After contemplating for a few seconds, Li Cheng could not figure out why. He took out the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, "You can take a look at this first. In a few days, follow me to explore the Sword Burial Sea."
Countless powerful beings from the Confucian Sect had searched the Sword Burial Sea without success; if he went, he would definitely not find it either, unless he took the two of them with him!
Li Cheng had a sneaking suspicion that they might be the key.
"Thank you, Elder Li, for helping us! We will definitely do our best to help you find the Book of Confucius," the two said in unison.
Li Cheng nodded, thinking that was more like it.
The two of them eagerly opened the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, and Li Cheng caught a glimpse of them suddenly convulsing as if electrocuted!
Li Cheng was startled and quickly stood up, "You two..."
Suddenly, Li Cheng saw mysterious runes appearing on the originally blank pages of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death!
At the same time, Li Cheng suddenly felt traces of their soul origins appearing in his sea of consciousness!
At this moment, the Two Venerables of Young and Old couldn\'t speak, but their auras were rapidly ascending, and in no time, they had stepped into the complete Divine Venerable Realm!
Li Cheng was astonished, "They actually are the spirits of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death! The spirits stripped by the Death Heavenly Venerable back then were them!"
At this moment, Li Cheng was absolutely certain, as the soul origins flowing into his sea of consciousness had explained everything!
He had forcibly taken the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, and now it was fusing with the Two Venerables of Young and Old, so he indirectly subdued them!
Li Cheng chuckled, sitting back down, and watched the still convulsing two with a mocking expression.
When they complete the fusion and realize they have become his servants, he wondered what they would think.
Their auras had already reached the pinnacle of the Divine Venerable Realm, seemingly ready to step into the Divine Emperor\'s Realm, but at that moment, the convulsions finally stopped, and they gradually calmed down.
The Holy Scripture of Life and Death split into two, merging separately with the Two Venerables of Young and Old, and Li Cheng clearly sensed that he had absolute control over them!
The Two Venerables of Young and Old slowly opened their eyes, their expressions a mix of surprise, astonishment, and confusion, quite complex.
Could it be anything but complicated?
They never imagined that touching the Holy Scripture of Life and Death would result in such a situation!
After so many years of cultivation, only now did they realize that they were actually a part of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death!
Li Cheng wore a smile on his face, not in a hurry to speak. More than a month ago, Tian Xinghe had said that transformed spirits did not know their own identities. It turned out to be true!
Only, even Tian Xinghe clearly did not expect the spirit of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death to transform into two people, not just one!
This had indeed misled Li Cheng, or else he might have guessed that the Two Venerables of Young and Old were related to the Holy Scripture of Life and Death.
A few seconds later, the Two Venerables of Young and Old looked at each other, both regaining their composure, and bowed in unison toward Li Cheng, "The Two Venerables of Young and Old greet their master!"
Li Cheng laughed, "Do you find it very frustrating?"
The two shook their heads immediately, and Venerable Young said, "Not at all, master is the three Supreme of the Pill Artifact Array, unparalleled in history. To follow master is our fortune!"
"Yes, a tremendous fortune!" Venerable Sou added.
Li Cheng was speechless. Is this how they see it?
Through the soul origin, Li Cheng saw that they indeed thought so!
"Well then, think what you will. We\'re somewhat acquainted anyway, and following me, you won\'t come out on the losing end," Li Cheng casually said.
Just a step away from stepping into the Divine Emperor\'s Realm, just like him, with their assistance, things would be much easier for him; he wouldn\'t have to do everything himself.
After speaking, Li Cheng\'s expression turned strange as he looked at them. "The Holy Scripture of Life and Death originated in the Sword Burial Sea? So you inherently knew the Book of Confucius was in the Sword Burial Sea?"
At this moment, the claim of the two made sense!
Their former bodies were part of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, which must have spent time in the Sword Burial Sea and sensed the presence of the Book of Confucius!
So, even after the spirit of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death transformed, they still had that feeling.
"Master, only now do we understand that we have seen the Book of Confucius in the Sword Burial Sea before. As for whether or not we originated from the Sword Burial Sea, we are not certain," Venerable Sou said.
