Chapter 502: Chapter 371: What a Great Relationship!_1
Sovereign of Origin looked puzzled at Li Cheng, wondering if Li Cheng's question meant he had encountered a woman who might be the Netherworld Ancestor?
There was nothing to hide, so Li Cheng said, "We found the Book of Confucius in the Sword Burial Sea, and at that time, the book was in the hands of a woman. What's strange is, that woman was a living being, not a Dead Spirit!"
"But her methods were heaven-defying, and aside from the Netherworld Ancestor, I can't think of anyone else."
Li Cheng briefly recounted the incident at the Sword Burial Sea.
The people who heard this looked at each other in dismay, especially considering the method that seemed to whisk Li Cheng and the three of them out of the Secret Land undetected. Even with Li Cheng's Space Law being Complete, the woman managed to do that, indicating that she indeed existed at the Supreme Realm!
The Sovereign of Origin clicked his tongue and looked at Li Cheng with an expectant gaze, "Now, as a Half-Step Supreme, I can teleport an ordinary Divine Venerable without them noticing, but you would have definitely sensed something at your previous Complete Divine Venerable Realm. So, your conjecture is not wrong!"
"As for the Netherworld Ancestor being a living being, it's not hard to explain. For one, Netherworld Ancestor is merely a self-designated title, a name, and does not necessarily mean she's a Dead Spirit."
"Secondly, at the cultivation of the Supreme Realm, it is not impossible to transition from death to life."
The words of the Sovereign of Origin made Li Cheng nod continuously, finding his analysis to be very reasonable.
Others, however, were already dumbstruck and seemed not to have heard the rest of Sovereign of Origin's words, only catching the phrase 'Half-Step Supreme!'
The Sovereign of Origin was already at Half-Step Supreme?
Li Cheng wasn't surprised, though. Even before the Divine Realm had evolved, he had cultivated the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to the twenty-seventh layer. Now with the appearance of the Supreme Law, it was appropriate for him to be a Half-Step Supreme.
Considering he had only cultivated to the twenty-fifth layer.
To cultivate the twenty-fifth layer to Completion would mean having the cultivation of a Complete Divine Emperor's Realm, and for the twenty-seventh layer, he should have already stepped into the Supreme Realm by reasoning.
The Sovereign of Origin had not yet stepped into the Supreme Realm, probably because the Supreme Law was not yet Complete, due to the suppression by heaven and earth.
"Sovereign, why don't you release your aura, let us experience the divine might of a Half-Step Supreme?" Light Destroying Heaven Venerable said curiously.
The Sovereign of Origin was taken aback, shook his head with a smile, "Only you would invite trouble like that, and you want to bring everyone else along?"
His implication was, if he did that, even these Heaven Venerables and Complete Divine Emperors wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Hua Tianji cleared his throat and changed the subject, "It's a day of great joy for our junior brother's breakthrough; Laoqi, stop looking for discomfort. Sovereign, our Confucian Sect is preparing to celebrate for a month, and we ask that you must attend!"
The Sovereign of Origin did not refuse, smiling, "Naturally, Li Cheng is also my junior brother."
Li Cheng clasped his fists and smiled without a word.
In the following month, the Confucian Sect celebrated grandly, with a continuous stream of powerful beings arriving from all over the Divine Realm.
This was practically a grand celebration for the entire Divine Realm!
Divine Emperor Realm powerhouses, who were rare to see on ordinary days, were seen crowding in the Confucian Sect this month. The cultivators who came from all over weren't they also eager to witness the style of these Divine Emperors?
A month passed, and before the Confucian Sect could settle down, the Dayan Divine Sect also announced a month of celebration!
As said by Tian Xinghe and others, the God Child had stepped into the Divine Emperor's Realm and even received congratulations from a Supreme Realm powerhouse, how could they not celebrate?
Everyone understood that the Dayan Divine Sect was leveraging this opportunity; after this celebration, the Dayan Divine Sect would become as famous as the Confucian Sect, its reputation echoing throughout the whole Divine Realm!
Out of regard for Li Cheng, everyone naturally attended.
This tactic of leveraging momentum was evidently successful.
After the celebrations ended, Li Cheng didn't rush to refine those gloves but began to refine the continent within the Divine World.
Even though he had just entered the early stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, refining this vast continent spanning trillions of miles into the Divine World was by no means an easy task.
As time passed by day after day, the Divine Realm finally began to quiet down.
However, beneath this veneer of tranquility, the cultivators of the entire Divine Realm seemed stimulated, all cultivating desperately.
In the blink of an eye, two thousand years had passed.
In these two thousand years, extraordinary phenomena appeared frequently in the Divine Realm, be it the emergence of heaven-and-earth treasures or the appearance of Divine Venerables and Divine Emperors, totaling over a hundred times!
What was most astonishing was the phenomenon at Falling Phoenix Mountain!
That day, the power of ice and fire from Falling Phoenix Mountain swept the heavens and the earth. The entire Divine Realm was enveloped in auspicious clouds, with a phoenix seemingly dancing among them!
After the phenomenon, Falling Phoenix Mountain, which had existed for countless years, disappeared!
This event alarmed the Divine Court; it was said that the Sovereign of Origin and Hua Tianji personally went to investigate, and their deductions resulted in an auspicious outcome, yet they did not disclose the specifics.
Li Cheng, who had been in seclusion refining that continent, was not aware of this event. After two thousand years, he finally refined the continent into his Divine World, turning that part of the Divine Realm into a segment of his own Divine World. Experience the best from m|v|l|e|mp|y|r
At the moment the refinement was complete, the Divine World spanned over a trillion miles and seemed to possess endless power, constantly feeding back to Li Cheng, and his cultivation naturally progressed into the mid-stage of the Divine Emperor Realm!
Two thousand years just to advance a minor realm, this was his slowest cultivation progress since he began.
Of course, for other Divine Emperors, this pace would be astonishingly fast.
"You've finally left secluded cultivation? Junior brother, come to Book Mountain!"
Just as he awoke from cultivation, Li Cheng heard Hua Tianji's telepathic message.
"Fifth senior brother, what's the matter?" Li Cheng appeared beside Hua Tianji and asked.
Hua Tianji smiled, "The Ice and Fire Phoenix has appeared, and with it, the Ice and Fire Holy Crown. Do you know the story behind the Ice and Fire Holy Crown?"
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng's Divine Soul pulsed with power, and in an instant, he became aware of the major events that had unfolded in the Divine Realm over the past two thousand years.
