Chapter 368: Chapter 305: Mysterious Space Treasure Vault_2

Li Cheng was stunned, had he alarmed the Mansion Venerable?

“Don’t get too excited, as the news of your unmatched Pill Artifact Array spreads, the Demon Race has also started making moves!” Kong Linfeng said.

Li Cheng understood, the Mansion Venerable’s personal visit was probably related to the Demon Race’s activity.

The Demon Race, upon learning that the Human Tribe had produced an existence with a Pill Artifact Array that was monstrous to such an extent, and who would undoubtedly become a Supreme figure of these Dao in the future, would they sit by and watch?

Either the Demon Race would send strong individuals to abduct him in secret, or they would directly assassinate him!

Li Cheng had long anticipated the downsides of fame, but he was not worried. He didn’t want trouble, and neither did Land Puppet Mansion.

However, the Mansion Venerable’s personal visit truly took Li Cheng by surprise. He had thought that sending a few strong individuals would have sufficed, never did he expect it would involve the dignity of the entire mansion.

Emperor Xuankong took over the conversation, “The Hundred Dynasties Meeting will end in half a year. During this time, all the Demon-suppressing Departments have been fully mobilized. If the situation remains dire after half a year, the competition of Demon Suppressing will be called off.”

“Considering the risks you face, you don’t need to participate in the remaining contests of the Hundred Dynasties Meeting. With these three Dao of Pill Artifact Array, you are already firmly in first place, and the world will have no objections.”

Not have to waste any more time?

This was indeed good news.

“Tomorrow I’ll take you to the treasury to get a few things, and then I’ll ask you to help the Xuankong Divine Dynasty concoct some Divine Pills. When the Mansion Venerable arrives, we’ll see how he arranges things,” Emperor Xuankong said.

Changing the subject, Emperor Xuankong spoke again, “Linfeng, in the future, a large amount of resources will lean towards your Kongqian Heaven Dynasty. The other divine dynasties will inevitably be displeased. Therefore, pick a princess to marry over.”

Kong Linfeng sighed, “Your Majesty knows well. I only have one daughter, and she has long ceased to acknowledge me as her father.”

Li Cheng was bewildered, were the deputy chief Kong Linfeng and Emperor Kongqian the same person?

Kong Lianqing was a princess—Li Cheng had guessed as much, but he had not expected that the deputy chief Kong Linfeng could actually be the emperor.

Seeing Li Cheng lost in thought, Kong Linfeng said, “Li Cheng, I haven’t been hiding anything from you.”

This, Kong Linfeng said with a straight face and without missing a beat.

Li Cheng didn’t mind it. After all, the emperor, hiding his identity as the deputy chief, was his own prerogative.

Li Cheng did understand, however, why Kong Lianqing said participating in the Hundred Dynasties Meeting was helping her. Presumably, she was unwilling to marry into the Xuankong Divine Dynasty and receive support from it in such a manner.

By representing the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty in the Hundred Dynasties Meeting and achieving a good ranking, the Xuankong Divine Dynasty would still support the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty robustly, and thus, she wouldn’t need to marry over.

But she didn’t anticipate that Emperor Xuankong would still bring up the matter.

Emperor Xuankong pondered, “Your princess can’t marry over… well then, if other divine dynasties make covert moves, you just handle it yourself.”

Kong Linfeng was helpless; the national power of Kongqian Heaven Dynasty was average, but with Emperor Xuankong’s promise, it would only take tens of thousands of years for the dynasty’s power to soar. But how could the other divine dynasties give them time?

“Your Majesty, you have over a hundred princesses, why not marry one to Kongqian? My three sons…the second and the third are not bad,” Kong Linfeng tentatively said.

Emperor Xuankong smiled playfully, “But I have my eye on your eldest son.”

Kong Linfeng’s face showed resignation, “Please stop joking, Your Majesty. I think about thrashing that dead monk every day.”

“Haha, if you make your eldest renounce his monkhood, I’d be happy to give seven princesses in marriage,” Emperor Xuankong laughed heartily and walked away.

The Imperial Flower Garden was left with only Li Cheng and Kong Linfeng.

Li Cheng coughed, “Deputy…Your Majesty, the monk you mentioned, wouldn’t it be Monk Wumo?”

“You might as well call me deputy chief, I’m used to it. Indeed, what are young people thinking these days? They forsake the position of Crown Prince to become monks!” Kong Linfeng expressed his melancholy.

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow in surprise. This was absolutely unexpected; Monk Wumo was the Crown Prince of Kongqian?

Truly… marching to the beat of his own drum!

“Let’s not talk about him. What are your plans? After the Hundred Dynasties Meeting, will you head to Land Puppet Mansion?” Kong Linfeng shifted the topic.

Li Cheng pondered, “If I stay in Kongqian, I’m afraid I might bring unnecessary disaster upon it.”

That was the truth, as well as the reality. The Kongqian Heaven Dynasty had Divine King Realm powerhouses, but if the Demon Race’s Divine Emperor Realm powerhouses came looking, he would be in trouble, and so would the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty.

The best course would be to head to Land Puppet Mansion, with a Divine Venerable present, at least everyone would be safe.

Plus, Li Cheng wanted to seek out Venerable Blunt Empty.

“When the Mansion Venerable arrives, I’ll talk to him. The best solution would be to create the illusion that you’ve gone to Land Puppet Mansion, but you’d actually stay in Kongqian,” Kong Linfeng said.

The Cicada Sheds Its Carapace?

It could also work.

The next day, Emperor Xuankong personally led Li Cheng to the treasure vault. They entered through a Transmission Array, with no idea where the vault actually was.

As they walked through the vast treasure vault, Emperor Xuankong said, “Almost the most precious things of the entire Xuankong Domain are here. I heard you need the Four Spirits Essence and Blood?”

Given the capabilities of the Xuankong Divine Dynasty, it was natural they’d find out, so Li Cheng wasn’t surprised.

“I was fortunate to learn a Divine Skill that requires Four Spirits Essence and Blood to cultivate, but unfortunately, I haven’t obtained much essence blood in the past, so this Divine Skill is not yet complete,” Li Cheng said truthfully.

“The Demon Suppression Emperor’s peerless Divine Skill, the Demon Suppressing Four Spirit Seal?” Emperor Xuankong inquired.

Li Cheng nodded. “Your Majesty doesn’t think I have any connection with the Demon Suppression Emperor, do you?”

“Haha, that’s hard to say. A peerless technique—who would casually pass it on?” Emperor Xuankong said with a laugh.

Li Cheng had obtained the Demon Suppressing Four Spirit Seal inside the Demon Suppression Bell, yet he didn’t mention this, letting others think what they would.

“Apart from the Four Spirits Essence and Blood, what else do you need? Just name it. Anything in here is yours for the taking!” Emperor Xuankong continued.

How generous!

But Li Cheng really wasn’t lacking in anything. With a top-notch Divine Vein, and Ao Jiugai providing him with a stream of Original Divine Qi every hundred years, his own cultivation improved very quickly.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, but the Four Spirits Essence and Blood is plenty,” Li Cheng said.

Emperor Xuankong smiled. “That’s true. You could make any Divine Pill on a whim and trade it for anything, except for some rare items.”

As he spoke, Emperor Xuankong waved his hand casually, and Divine Veins from various parts of the treasure vault flew towards them.

“These are high-grade Divine Veins. After refining them, they can rapidly enhance cultivation. I’ll give you ten of them!”

High-grade Divine Veins—ordinary sects could only dream of getting their hands on them, yet Emperor Xuankong was giving away ten as if it were nothing.

If these were to fall into the hands of any sect, wouldn’t their power surge dramatically?

Li Cheng didn’t refuse. He would give them to Ao Jiugai later, and perhaps with these Divine Veins, he might be able to provide even more Original Divine Qi.

“Don’t think it’s too little. Underneath the imperial cities of various Divine Dynasties, there are only about seven or eight high-grade Divine Veins sealed away,” the Emperor said.

“As for the top-notch ones, they are too rare.”

Li Cheng smiled. “Many thanks to Your Majesty for the generous gift!”

Having taken the Four Spirits Essence and Blood, there was no need to look at anything else. Li Cheng said, “Your Majesty mentioned Alchemy yesterday. I can start making them whenever you’re ready.”

During the Hundred Dynasties Meeting, Li Cheng had made 1.2 million Divine Monarch Pills, of which Emperor Xuankong had taken half, and the other half had been given to Li Cheng.

But Li Cheng didn’t need that many. He handed them over to Kong Linfeng, keeping only some King Grade Divine Monarch Pills for himself.

At the moment, Li Cheng suspected Emperor Xuankong intended to make Divine King Pills.

Divine King Pills were fourth-grade Divine Pills. With the might of Li Cheng’s current Divine Fire, it would be natural to concoct them without any pressure.

Emperor Xuankong took out a Storage Ring. “I need your help to make two kinds of Divine Pills, the Divine King Pill and the fourth-grade Breakthrough Pill. Sadly, fourth-grade Divine Medicines are hard to find, especially for the Breakthrough Pill.”

Inside the Storage Ring were materials for one hundred and ten Divine King Pills, as well as materials for one fourth-grade Breakthrough Pill.

Materials for one fourth-grade Breakthrough Pill could help twelve Divine King Realm experts achieve a complete breakthrough into the Divine Emperor Realm. Although they might not all succeed, even if just one did, it would be a significant event for the Xuankong Divine Dynasty.

“After you make them, take one hundred Divine King Pills and two Breakthrough Pills for yourself. Don’t blame me for being stingy. I really have great use for them, and the materials are hard to collect,” Emperor Xuankong explained.

“Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I’ll start making them right now!”

Li Cheng took out the materials and immediately surrounded himself with his Domain within a few meters, beginning the refining process.

The reason for isolating himself with his Domain was naturally to prevent damaging any nearby treasures.

“Indeed, Ascenders all have their own Domains,” Emperor Xuankong murmured to himself.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Li Cheng had already withdrawn his Domain and handed over the two kinds of Divine Pills.

Emperor Xuankong nodded in satisfaction. “Worthy of being the Supreme Alchemy Dao, Li Cheng. Do you have plans to seek a dao companion? My daughters, each one is more excellent and beautiful than the last.”

Li Cheng was taken aback and quickly shook his head, “Thank you for Your Majesty’s kind offer, but my cultivation is still shallow. Let’s talk about it in the future!”
