Chapter 371: Chapter 307 Your Big Opportunity Has Come_1

The Blunt Empty Venerable, who had an air of an immortal, looked upon Li Cheng with great affection, unable to hide the admiration in his eyes.

“In the entire Land Puppet Mansion, all the Demon-suppressing Envoys have been mobilized, including several with the rank of Seven-Star. But even so, it is still not secure enough.”

As the Blunt Empty Venerable spoke, he looked at Li Cheng again, “The news about your Pill Artifact Array has spread throughout the Land Puppet Mansion, and the Demon Race will definitely come for you at all costs, whether to abduct or to kill you. The actions of all us Demon-suppressing Envoys can only secure a slight advantage but cannot eliminate the Demon Race in one fell swoop.”

“Therefore, I hope you will come with me to the Land Puppet Mansion, where the conditions for cultivation are better. And with me there, I can ensure your safety.”

By his side, Emperor Xuankong nodded in agreement, “Li Cheng, the Mansion Venerable is right. The Demon Race won’t just sit back and watch you grow stronger; to them, you’re either to be recruited or wiped out.”

Li Cheng naturally understood all this, as he had previously discussed it with Emperor Xuankong and Kong Linfeng.

But the best strategy was indeed as Kong Linfeng had mentioned—The Cicada Sheds Its Carapace!

After a brief contemplation, Li Cheng said, “Thank you, Blunt Empty Senior. I will definitely visit the Land Puppet Mansion, but not right now.”

“I still have important matters to attend to in the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty. Once they are resolved, I will go.”

The smile on the Blunt Empty Venerable’s face did not fade, “Are you worried about causing me trouble? Or do you feel it’s somewhat inappropriate to rely on a senior’s protection?”

Li Cheng indeed harbored both thoughts.

But how could he admit it?

“That’s not the case; I truly have important matters. However, I would like to ask the senior to help spread the news that I have already gone to the Land Puppet Mansion,” Li Cheng said with a cough.

Emperor Xuankong took over the conversation, “Li Cheng, you can separate a part of your Divine Soul, or even directly condense an avatar to accompany the Mansion Venerable. This way, you can create the illusion that you have already gone to the Land Puppet Mansion.”

He certainly remembered the outcome of the discussion they had a few days ago; he just hadn’t found the opportunity to speak up until now. When Li Cheng brought it up, the opportunity came to him.

The Blunt Empty Venerable pondered and nodded slightly, “That could work. The ploy of The Cicada Sheds Its Carapace should allow you to stay in the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty a little longer without worrying.”

He paused, then added, “However, whether you split your Divine Soul or condense an avatar, neither can achieve perfect deception.”

If they were to do this, naturally it had to be flawless.

Merely using a portion of the Divine Soul or an avatar would be too easily seen through by those with higher Cultivation or those specialized in Divine Soul power.

“Mansion Venerable, what should we do then? I will fully cooperate,” Emperor Xuankong said.

The Blunt Empty Venerable nodded, “Find a trustworthy person to take on Li Cheng’s appearance, with a strand of Li Cheng’s Divine Soul residing within it. Only then it will be seamless.”

Emperor Xuankong was stunned; this method was akin to possession, completely opening one’s sea of consciousness and allowing Li Cheng’s Divine Soul to enter. In this way, unless someone probed the sea of consciousness, it would be difficult to detect that it was a disguise.

But such a person must have complete trust in Li Cheng, willing to entrust their life to him. Even the slightest reservation would lead to rejection.

A slight rejection, not to mention the harm it could cause to both parties, would also let the Divine Soul’s aura leak out, easily revealing flaws.

Li Cheng also knew the conditions of the method mentioned by the Blunt Empty Venerable and couldn’t help but smile wryly. He had not been in the Divine Realm for long and knew few people; who would be willing to entrust their life to him?

Furthermore, it also required that Li Cheng had trust in the person, otherwise if they refined his Divine Soul, it would be a great blow to Li Cheng.

Mutual trust and the other party’s willingness to commit their life—Li Cheng could think of no one.

His two disciples? Yin Yue was not suitable; she was a girl, and with his Divine Soul entering, her privacy would be gone.

Duan Shuiliu… would indeed be suitable, but if so, where would his dignity as a master be?

Seeing Li Cheng’s predicament, the Blunt Empty Venerable said with a smile, “I plan to stay here for a while, so I am not in a hurry. You can take your time to find someone. If you do not find a suitable person, then you can just condense an avatar.”

Li Cheng nodded; the idea of condensing an avatar had also crossed his mind, but it was unnecessary since an avatar required a portion of his Divine Soul to preside, effectively splitting his own Divine Soul.

Doing so would weaken the main Divine Soul, a disadvantageous tradeoff.

“Mansion Venerable, since we have the rare opportunity of the Hundred Dynasties Meeting in the Xuankong Domain, why not take a look?” Emperor Xuankong suggested, skilfully changing the subject.

“Indeed, it has been millions of years since I have returned here; it may be good to see what kind of talents the Xuankong Domain has these days,” the Blunt Empty Venerable did not refuse.

The three left the palace and went to the stands around the square.

Without making a fuss or alarming anyone, the three reached the stand designated for the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty.

The third round had already started, featuring the top talents of the Xuankong Domain in competition.

“Master Li!”

While watching the competition, a familiar voice rang out, filled with evident joy.

Li Cheng turned his head in surprise, “Laojiu, what brings you here?”

The person was none other than Ninety Thousand Miles.

Ninety Thousand Miles hurried to Li Cheng’s side and bowed respectfully, saying, “Master Li, your unparalleled Pill Artifact Array has already spread far and wide. I guess the Demon Race would definitely not let you go, so I rushed over.”

“Although my Cultivation is modest, at least I can take a blow for you. Please don’t disdain me, Master Li!”

Li Cheng looked at Ninety Thousand Miles. Last time, he was in the middle phase of Heaven God. With Li Cheng’s help and resources, he had now reached the late phase of Heaven God.

Such Cultivation was indeed too weak.

But his genuine intention was very real.

Li Cheng knew very well about Ninety Thousand Miles’s character, and it was precisely for this reason that he had secretly given him those Heaven God Pills and Divine Stones last time.
