Chapter 372: Chapter 307 Your Big Opportunity Has Come_2

Emperor Xuankong and Blunt Empty Venerable, sitting beside Li Cheng, glanced at each other. Emperor Xuankong sent a telepathic message: “Mansion Venerable, do you think this person is seizing the opportunity to climb high, or did he truly come to take the knife for others?”

Blunt Empty Venerable chuckled, “Aren’t you skilled in illusions? Just try and you’ll know.”

How could a minor character like Laojiu catch the attention of Emperor Xuankong under normal circumstances?

But with nothing particular to do at the moment, he might as well watch the show.

Nodding his head, Emperor Xuankong glanced at Laojiu.

In an instant, Laojiu felt as if he had fallen into a dream, and before him was the familiar Savage Ridge!

“Master Li! What’s wrong with you?”

Suddenly, Laojiu realized that the person beside him was Li Cheng, and right now, Li Cheng was critically injured and his body emanated black qi.

He suddenly ‘remembered’ that he had encountered the notorious Withered Bone Demon Monarch of Savage Ridge, and that Li Cheng had been gravely wounded by him and had also been poisoned by the Life and Death Demon Poison.

The Withered Bone Demon Monarch did not take the opportunity to kill Li Cheng, but instead left him to self-destruct, for with the Life and Death Demon Poison, even a mid-stage Divine Monarch would certainly die; there was no need to waste energy on killing him.

On the ground, Li Cheng was seriously injured and poisoned by the Life and Death Demon Poison. He struggled to take off his storage ring and said, “Laojiu, I have a large collection of Heaven God Pills, True God Pills, Divine Monarch Pills, and Divine King Pills in my hand, enough to help you become a Divine King. Remember to avenge me when the time comes…”

Laojiu’s expression turned frantic, not even glancing at the storage ring in Li Cheng’s hand, he bent down intending to carry Li Cheng back to Savage City for help. But Li Cheng stopped him, “It’s useless, there’s no time left, promise me!”

Laojiu shook his head like a rattle drum, “No way, Master Li, you can’t die. I will find a way to save you!”

As he spoke, something seemed to dawn on Laojiu, “Life and Death Demon Poison? This strange poison requires one life in exchange for another to be cured. As long as I draw the poison into myself and die, you’ll be free of the poison!”

With this thought, Laojiu did not hesitate for even a moment. He placed his hands on Li Cheng’s chest and began to operate his cultivation technique to absorb the Life and Death Demon Poison from Li Cheng’s body.

“Stop, what are you doing?” Li Cheng managed to speak with difficulty.

“Master Li, you saved my life before and did not despise me. You gave me so many resources. Laojiu has never been valued so much by anyone in my life. I swore back then that I would never disappoint you.”

“Now that you’re in trouble, Master Li, my mind is set. I hope that in the future you will slay more of the Demon Race, and Laojiu can rest easy!”

As he spoke, Laojiu’s vision began to darken, while on the other hand, Li Cheng began to show signs of recovery.

Seeing this, Laojiu smiled, “Master, if there is reincarnation, in the next life Laojiu will definitely follow you!”

Gradually, Laojiu felt his consciousness fading. He was very clear that he was dying, but his heart was filled with contentment, “I, Laojiu, didn’t let Master down, right?”

In the spectator stand, Li Cheng looked at Laojiu, puzzled. What was this fellow doing with his nervous, despairing, resolute, content, and satisfied expression, resembling one who rests with a smile in death?

In just a few breaths, how could this fellow’s expression change so many times? Even an award-winning actor couldn’t do better, could they?

Confused, Li Cheng couldn’t help but speak up, “Laojiu, are you alright?”

Laojiu slowly came to his senses, turned his head to look around, and scratched his head in confusion. What just happened?

Hearing Li Cheng’s voice, Laojiu finally snapped back to reality, joyfully saying, “Master Li!”

Li Cheng became even more puzzled. Could it be that this fellow’s Divine Soul was having issues again?

The last time, out of necessity, he sealed his Divine Soul, causing this fellow to become disoriented. The current situation suggests that it may indeed be happening again.

Li Cheng was unaware that in those brief seconds, Laojiu had been taken on a journey through an illusion.

With the means of Emperor Xuankong at the Divine Emperor Realm, how could Li Cheng have noticed?

“Strange, it seemed just now… hmm? What just happened?” Laojiu was about to ponder, then suddenly laughed and said, “I hope Master Li won’t despise me!”

Li Cheng subtly raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look at Blunt Empty Venerable and Emperor Xuankong.

Emperor Xuankong coughed dryly, “Well, that friend of yours isn’t bad!”

Li Cheng immediately understood that Emperor Xuankong must have employed some technique on Laojiu and then covertly erased all traces of it.

Hence, Laojiu didn’t know what he experienced and had also forgotten what had transpired. His memory conveniently connected right back to what he had just said.

“Li Cheng, I have cast an illusion on him, it won’t affect anything, rest assured!” Emperor Xuankong transmitted his voice.

As expected!

Li Cheng nodded slightly and looked towards Laojiu, pointing to the seat next to him, “Laojiu, sit!”

Laojiu was taken aback, “No, no, no, I prefer standing.”

Li Cheng was somewhat speechless and could only say, “When you stand, I feel so much pressure!”

With a wry smile, Laojiu sat down next to Li Cheng.

The smile faded, and Laojiu spoke again, “Master Li, chaos has begun in Savage City, many Evil Demons have burst out from Savage Ridge, appearing intent on storming Savage City.”

“Many people are speculating the reasons, and a lot of them believe it’s because Master Li showcased an astonishing mastery of the three Pill Artifact Arrays. I think they’re right, so I rushed over without taking the time to cultivate as Master Li instructed, I hope you will forgive me!” fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

“You want to help him at any cost?” Blunt Empty Venerable spoke up.

Previously, when Emperor Xuankong imprisoned Laojiu in an illusion for a moment, Blunt Empty Venerable naturally witnessed the situation.

Laojiu turned towards Blunt Empty Venerable beside Li Cheng and clasped his fists, “To the Venerable, exactly!”

Blunt Empty Venerable nodded, “Indeed, you can help him!”

Laojiu’s eyes lit up, and excitement began to spread across his face, “May I ask the Venerable, how should I do that?”

“First watch the competition, we’ll talk about it later!” Blunt Empty Venerable said with a smile, showing no intention of explaining further.

Laojiu wanted to ask more, but then felt it might not be good to bother them too much, especially since he didn’t know who they were, and incessantly troubling them was inappropriate. He had no choice but to let it go.

Although they were all Heaven Gods, seeing the old man sitting in the center with Li Cheng and another person on either side suggested that the old man was likely Li Cheng’s elder and therefore even less to be disturbed.

Having sat for a short while, Laojiu couldn’t contain himself any longer and transmitted his voice to Li Cheng, “Master Li, who is the Venerable next to you? He seems to be of cultivation similar to ours, yet he exerts an overwhelming presence like a mountain, as though he has comprehended many Earth Rules.”

All three had concealed their auras, only showing the peak cultivation of the Heaven God State, so Laojiu, with his abilities, naturally couldn’t detect anything unusual.

Li Cheng was somewhat speechless; this scene felt so familiar. Back in the Kunlun Realm, someone had transmitted his voice right in front of him, but that transmission was no different from speaking out loud.

Now, Laojiu’s voice transmission, in front of Blunt Empty Venerable and Emperor Xuankong, was just like speaking out loud too!

After a brief pondering, Li Cheng responded, “This Venerable and I ascended from the same place to the Divine Realm!”

In front of Blunt Empty Venerable, even in a voice transmission, Li Cheng felt it was inappropriate to say too much, since voice transmissions were no different from speaking out loud, and Blunt Empty Venerable could hear it all.

Surprise showed on Laojiu’s face, and his eyes filled with reverence. Ascenders were always beings with extremely exceptional talents, no wonder he had felt that way.

“And the other one? He has the presence of a high-ranking being, quite majestic. When he was in the Lower World, he must have been a supreme figure, right?” Laojiu transmitted his voice again.

Li Cheng was speechless, as the man was the ruler of the Xuankong Domain; as to whether he was an Ascender, Li Cheng was not certain.

A ruler of Land Puppet Mansion and the ruler of the Xuankong Domain, with them present, would you please stop transmitting your voice?

Emperor Xuankong’s gaze shifted over, his lips slowly curving into a smile, “Laojiu, how many years have you been cultivating?”

Laojiu was about to speak when suddenly he realized something, “Venerable, how did you know I am called Laojiu?”

“I just asked Li Cheng through a voice transmission,” Emperor Xuankong said nonchalantly.

Laojiu nodded in understanding, “To the Venerable, my talent is ordinary. I became a God at the age of 500, and now I have been cultivating for 65,000 years!”

The corners of Li Cheng’s mouth twitched subtly; you call this ‘ordinary’ talent?

Reaching godhood at 500 years old, if compared to those in the Lower World, that’s incredibly exceptional, but when compared to those in the Divine Realm, it’s hardly more than basic, look at Yin Yue, who had reached godhood at a little over twenty years old.

Emperor Xuankong, however, seemed unmoved, nodding and stating, “Indeed ordinary, but your great opportunity has arrived!”

Li Cheng glanced at Emperor Xuankong, ‘indeed ordinary’? It seemed the people of the Divine Realm had a different understanding of ordinary.
