Chapter 259: Chapter 254 The Damaged Tower of Chaos_2

Scheming!

The First Elder felt that he must resolutely remove the “Scapegoat” hat!

“First Elder, do you disagree with what we’ve proposed?” Mu Xingzhi asked again.

“Not at all, I think it’s very good, I have absolutely no objections!” the First Elder said subconsciously.

Mu Xingzhi slapped his thigh, “Then we’ll do as the First Elder said. Little uncle-master, what do you think?”

Huh?

The First Elder’s eyes widened. What the heck?

He hadn’t said anything, so how could it be decided based on what he said?

A smile appeared on Li Cheng’s face, “That’s great, then let’s prepare and get started right away. Sect Master, please gather all the Array Path Immortal Masters of the sect. I will make the arrangements.”

Mu Xingzhi nodded, “No problem, First Elder, go and summon them quickly!”

The First Elder cleared his throat, “Should I also summon those from the Immortal Sect?”

“Of course!”

The Immortal Sect was the Heavenly Mechanism Sect that had been relocated back from the Immortal World, now operating behind the scenes.

The First Elder looked at Mu Xingzhi, knowing that the Immortal Sect was full of seniors; asking him to summon them was asking for trouble, wasn’t it?

Although they would not scold him to his face out of respect for his Elder status, there would definitely be many who would curse him in their hearts.

Without a doubt, this was another situation where he was being made the scapegoat.

Li Cheng’s Immortal Sense contracted as he attentively sensed the surroundings within a radius of eight million miles, “Sect Master, I plan to cover an area of eight million miles with the Formation… Huh?”

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Cheng suddenly realized that the life-saving measure he had left with his eighth disciple, Jiang Fan, had been activated!

“Let’s hold off on setting up the Formation for now!”

As Li Cheng spoke, his figure had already disappeared.

The First Elder, who had just arrived at Heaven Secret Peak, seemed to sense something and looked up, “Did little uncle-master leave?”

“Good thing I didn’t immediately send out a summons to gather people, or wouldn’t they curse me behind my back?” the First Elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Little uncle-master hurried off, what happened?” the Seventh Elder asked, puzzled.

Mu Xingzhi shook his head, “Anyway, there’s nothing little uncle-master can’t handle. Let’s prepare for now and wait for his return to set up the Formation.”

The Southern Domain nowadays had become much larger than before due to the opening of many Ancient Ruins.

Li Cheng raced northwards. Using the residual power he had left on Jiang Fan, he quickly caught up to the Extreme Northern Land where the Five Elements Elf Tribe was located.

“It’s the Corpse-wrapping Cloth!”

Within his Immortal Sense, he saw the Corpse-wrapping Cloth wrapping Jiang Fan, continuously flying towards the Land of Chaos.

Jiang Fan struggled within the Corpse-wrapping Cloth, but he was absolutely incapable of breaking free from its confines.

Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had speculated before that the Corpse-wrapping Cloth was either being controlled by someone or had become sentient.

But at this moment, it was clear that it was being controlled by someone.

In the blink of an eye, the Corpse-wrapping Cloth had flown into the Land of Chaos, where space-time was disordered, making it easy to get lost, and because of the space-time chaos, it was easy to hide.

Li Cheng hastened his speed and teleported, pursuing into the Land of Chaos. At the same time, the excited voice of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle appeared in his mind, “Boss, I’ve found the entrance to the ancient battlefield!”

Li Cheng sensed briefly and locked onto the position of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle.

But upon looking at the Corpse-wrapping Cloth again, Li Cheng couldn’t help but furrow his brow. Utilizing the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle’s half Soul Origin, he hastily said, “There’s a strip of Corpse-wrapping Cloth coming, wrapping my disciple. It’s very likely…”

“Ah? A strip of Corpse-wrapping Cloth rushed in!”

Li Cheng was speechless; couldn’t this turtle girl have intercepted it?

“Boss, the entrance is shrinking, you need to hurry. I’ll support the entrance with all my strength!”

Li Cheng had no choice but to race at full power.

Before long, using the connection with the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, Li Cheng finally arrived.

The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was using the power of Space to hold the shrinking entrance, “You’re so fast?”

Li Cheng landed on its back. “You’re an Immortal Emperor, yet you can’t even stop that corpse-wrapping cloth?”

“It’s not that. The moment I heard the transmission, that corpse-wrapping cloth dashed in with a flash. I was too focused on listening to the boss’s words and didn’t pay much attention to the corpse-wrapping cloth.”

Li Cheng was at a loss for words. Was he really blaming his transmission for distracting him?

“Since it charged in, we can only go in after it. Which disciple got taken away by it? Jiang Fan?” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle added.

Li Cheng nodded. “That corpse-wrapping cloth, or rather the person controlling it, I fear they’re likely to harm Jiang Fan. Let’s go!”

A man and a turtle charged into the entrance, and turning their heads, they saw the swirling entrance shrink rapidly before disappearing.

Before them lay a desolate wasteland, crisscrossed with trenches everywhere.

The air carried an aura of ancient brutality and simplicity.

“Is this the ancient battlefield? The fabled battleground of deities? My Immortal Sense is being heavily suppressed.” Li Cheng looked around the world, murmuring to himself.

“There’s no mistake, this is just the periphery,” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said.

Li Cheng steadied his spirit and, borrowing that lingering power, instantly locked onto the direction where the corpse-wrapping cloth and Jiang Fan had gone.

As he chased on, Li Cheng released the Mole.

The Mole’s nose twitched and its small eyes showed a hint of shock as it exclaimed, “So many treasures!”

“Don’t rush. I suspect the Tower of Chaos is up ahead… Here we are!”

As he spoke, Li Cheng’s Immortal Sense enveloped the edge, revealing a five- story tall structure!

Calling it a five-story building was somewhat inaccurate; it seemed more like a tall tower that had been sliced in half, leaving only the bottom five stories.

Hovering before this half-cut tower, Li Cheng’s gaze locked onto a spectral figure standing atop the tower with hands behind his back.

It was a middle-aged man with a chiseled face, standing quietly on the broken tower. Even though his figure was ethereal, he exuded a mountainous presence to Li Cheng.

The middle-aged man’s temples showed strands of silver among his falling hair. His serene gaze swept up and down over Li Cheng, slightly nodding his head. “Not bad, to have a person like you emerge in this era!”

It was unclear whether he was commending the era or Li Cheng himself.

Li Cheng gave him a fist salute, then pointed at the corpse-wrapping cloth behind the man and said evenly, “He’s my disciple. If the senior wishes to take possession, you’ve found the wrong target!”

Undoubtedly, Jiang Fan had been brought here under the control of this middle-aged man, and the purpose…

With only a remnant soul left, the middle-aged man bringing Jiang Fan here could mean nothing else but to take possession, right?

The middle-aged man did not seem angered. On the contrary, he couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this. “Take possession? You underestimate me. This person is my reincarnation.”

A trace of astonishment flickered in Li Cheng’s eyes. “Reincarnation?”

The Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan floated out. “Could it be, senior is the Nine Star Great Emperor?”

The middle-aged man appeared somewhat surprised by the presence of another remnant soul like the Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan, but then he smiled. “In this era, the number of people who remember me can be counted on one hand.”

With his affirmation, Immortal Emperor Tian Yuan looked even more astonished. “Li Cheng, the Nine Star Great Emperor is ranked fifth among the ten great legendary figures. It is said that the Nine Star Great Emperor cultivated the Nine Turned Star Brilliance Jue, and when his lifespan was nearing its end, he could choose to reincarnate and cultivate anew, which is akin to an indirect form of eternal life.”

“Oh?”

Li Cheng was somewhat surprised. This middle-aged man was one of the ten great legendary figures?

The middle-aged man waved his hand casually, and the corpse-wrapping cloth left Jiang Fan, wrapping around his own spectral form.

“My reincarnation was meant to cultivate the Nine Turned Star Brilliance Jue. I wanted to pass on the technique to him, but when I sensed you spying in secret, I temporarily refrained. Unexpectedly, you passed to him the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture.”

“However, it’s just as well. In this life, being of the Chaos Clan, it is quite fitting for him to cultivate the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture. Thus, I brought him here to utilize this damaged Tower of Chaos to further awaken his Chaos Body.”

Upon hearing this, it seemed to be a good turn.

But Li Cheng shook his head. “The life-saving measures I left on him were activated, signaling he faced a mortal danger. How would the senior explain that?”

If the life-saving measures hadn’t been activated, Li Cheng might have believed him.

But Jiang Fan faced a death crisis that triggered those countermeasures, and was brought here by the corpse-wrapping cloth; how could Li Cheng readily believe what the Nine Star Great Emperor said?

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and then laughed. “It’s good for him to have a master like you in this life. Well then, let me be straightforward—I’m preparing to merge with this life!”

Li Cheng scoffed. “Merge? That sounds nice. But what’s the difference between that and possession? If you’re truly reincarnated, you shouldn’t have left behind this remnant soul. Now I suspect, you’re not the Nine Star Great Emperor at all, but an ancestor from the Chaos Clan.”

“As the leader of the Innate Spirit Clan, the senior disguises himself as the Nine Star Great Emperor. Isn’t that a bit too disgraceful for the Chaos Clan?”

A fierce light flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes as he coldly laughed. “So be it, then. I’ll lay my cards on the table!”
