Chapter 494: Chapter 367: The Secret of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death_1
The secrets of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death had already been mentioned by Tian Xinghe, who said that as long as Li Cheng agreed to become a God Child, he would be informed immediately.
There was no time to mention it before, but it's not too late to talk about it now.
Taking a breath of relief, Tian Xinghe then said, "You must have discovered that the Holy Scripture of Life and Death is missing its spirit!"
Li Cheng nodded, confirming the discovery, which was why he had forcefully taken it into his possession.
"Before his passing, my master stripped away the spirit of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death. It seems he either infused it into another Divine Artifact or used Great Divine Power to turn the spirit into a human. The exact details are unclear to anyone."
"My master never mentioned it, but the eldest senior brother once investigated and said that it's most likely the spirit of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death has taken human form. Only, due to being stripped away, after transforming, it also does not know that it is the spirit of the Holy Scripture of Life and Death."
Pondering, Li Cheng understood why Tian Xinghe said this, for if the transformed spirit knew its origins, it would certainly return to retrieve the Holy Scripture of Life and Death!
After all, even in human form, it could easily control the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, even more profoundly than Death Heavenly Venerable did in the past.
But the Holy Scripture of Life and Death had always been here, and had not been taken, which is why Tian Xinghe spoke so.
Tian Xinghe continued, "We have no idea why the master did this, nor why he left such a will behind, but we believe that the transformed spirit, even without knowing its identity, will be drawn by the Holy Scripture of Life and Death in the dark!"
"Now that you possess the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, the transformed spirit will eventually find you, and I hope you will treat them well by then."
Li Cheng nodded, "Naturally, I understand the Death Heavenly Venerable's intentions. The Holy Scripture of Life and Death itself is a treasure. Its spirit cultivating in human form and returning later will make the Holy Scripture of Life and Death even stronger. Probably for this reason, the spirit was separated."
Tian Xinghe smiled, "We have made the same guess. You must have heard that the Holy Scripture of Life and Death is linked to the secrets of immortality. Perhaps the master wished to strengthen the Holy Scripture of Life and Death to explore that!"
This was indeed very possible, but unfortunately, Death Heavenly Venerable never got the chance to see it.
Whereas he himself, at least for the moment, had no desire to delve into the secrets of immortality; after all, he was only just over ten thousand years old, yet had a lifespan of seventy to eighty billion years, having not even lived through the mere fraction of it.
"The transformed spirit should be at least in the Divine Emperor Realm by now, and very likely in the Divine Venerable Realm. If you encounter Divine Venerable Realm experts who are also cultivating the Power of Life and Death, you might as well use the Holy Scripture of Life and Death to test them," suggested Tian Xinghe.
Li Cheng nodded. There weren't many who cultivated both the Life Law and Law of Death, but he would certainly find them eventually.
"These are pretty much the specifics; there's nothing else. I'll go prepare for the ceremonial matters," said Tian Xinghe and his figure disappeared.
Time passed quickly, and these days Li Cheng and the two Heaven Venerables stayed at Cang Peak, where occasionally they would give some guidance to Qing Cang.
Today was the day of the God Child enthronement ceremony in Dayan Divine Sect.
Li Cheng learned that Dayan Divine Sect already had three God Children, and he would be the fourth.
Those three were already in the Divine Emperor's Realm and rarely showed themselves.
Countless strong figures rushed in from all over to Dayan Divine Sect.
A few days ago, as Dayan Divine Sect opened its doors to welcome representatives from various factions, the Two Venerables of Young and Old also entered Dayan Divine Sect and had already sent a message to Li Cheng.
Li Cheng also invited them to Cang Peak, but with two Heaven Venerables present, they didn't dare to come and disturb, so these days they were just eating and drinking with the representatives at Dayan Divine Sect, waiting for the ceremony to end.
"Such ceremonies are the most boring; it's just a formality, to make the forces recognize you, just muddle through it. After all, with your Pill Artifact Array and being Wushuang in the Divine Realm, those powers already know about you. It's just that they haven't seen you in person," Light Destroying Heaven Venerable said to Li Cheng with a chuckle.
"Seventh Senior Brother, when I sent messages to the other senior brothers, they all expressed their support. Is that really the case?" asked Li Cheng.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable nodded, "Of course they support you; this isn't a bad thing, you don't have to overthink it."
"It's just that before the master's departure, he assigned tasks to all the siblings, so it's difficult for them to leave their responsibilities. But having me as a representative is enough."
The names of his fellow senior brothers were all well-known in the Divine Realm, but the most prominent was naturally the seventh senior brother, Light Destroying Heaven Venerable.
Because he was one of the Nine Great Heaven Venerables!
"Let's go, it's about time!" Li Cheng said with a smile.
For the enthronement ceremony, Dayan Divine Sect had specially created a spatial bubble, which was suspended between Dayan Divine Peak and Cang Peak. By now, all who were supposed to be there had arrived.
Entering the spatial bubble, a sea of people came into view!
"Is that the son of Confucius Ancestor next to Light Destroying Heaven Venerable? What a formidable aura!"
"So handsome!"
"I heard he's unrivaled in the Divine Realm with his Pill Artifact Array; I really want a glimpse of his skills!"
"Dayan Divine Sect has struck it rich, to have tricked such a prodigy into becoming a God Child!"
...
Various Divine Sense transmissions and whispers filled the heavens and the earth.
In the central location, the Dayan Divine Sect's high-ranking members were all eagerly awaiting, and most of them felt that the sect had indeed gained a great advantage!
Tian Xinghe rose into the air, his voice spreading throughout the space, "On behalf of Dayan Divine Sect, I thank all for coming to witness this event!"
"I believe everyone already knows about our newly advanced God Child Li Cheng of Dayan Divine Sect. He is the son of the great Confucius Ancestor. There might be those wondering why our sect would make him a God Child when he is an inheritor of the Confucian Sect?"
"Before my master's celestial passing, he had left behind…"
Tian Xinghe spoke at length, and even when Streamer Heavenly Venerable became somewhat impatient, the enthronement ceremony finally began!
