Currently possessing sixteen opportunities for enlightenment, it was natural to continue pursuing such moments of insight.
However, seeing that both disciples were intently experiencing their realizations, Li Cheng simply went ahead and arranged a Time Formation.
With five Time Laws at his command, Li Cheng arranged the Formation within a thousand-meter radius, and could feel that the flow of time had a greater impact on Yun Tianqiong, and a slightly lesser one on Ling Xi.
For Yun Tianqiong, a day passed in the outside world equated to fifty days for him, while for Ling Xi, it was merely around twenty days.
The higher one’s cultivation, the smaller the impact from the Time Formation.
After setting up the Formation, Li Cheng continued his pursuit of enlightenment.
Using enlightenment three times in succession, three days passed, and Li Cheng’s mastery over the Time Law reached sixteen strands, the Rule of Fire fifteen strands, and the Life Law ten strands.
Waking from his state of enlightenment, a notification sound echoed in his mind.
[Disciple Yun Tianqiong has gained tremendous rewards, granting 6 enlightenment opportunities.]
[Disciple Ling Xi has gained tremendous rewards, granting 6 enlightenment opportunities.]
[Remaining opportunities for enlightenment: 25 times.]
“Beautiful! The numbers keep going up!” Li Cheng couldn’t help but smile.
Looking at his two disciples, he saw that Yun Tianqiong had entered the initial stage of the Foundation Establishment and Ling Xi had reached the completion of the Foundation Establishment, on the verge of stepping into the Golden Core Stage.
As their cultivation levels elevated, the influence of the Time Formation continued to weaken.
Although it had only been three days, even with a diminishing effect from the Formation, for Yun Tianqiong, that was nearly three months, and for Ling Xi, close to two months.
A two to three-month increase in power was comparable to Li Cheng’s own advancement in his early years.
Without disturbing their cultivation, Li Cheng turned his attention to the two Immortal Beast eggs, which by now, four days later, emitted an aura several times stronger than before, and yet there were still no signs of hatching.
“Such an aura, almost comparable to a Golden Core Stage cultivator, and still not born?”
Li Cheng’s curiosity was piqued, now truly interested in what kind of Immortal Beasts they would turn out to be!
With fifteen strands of the Rule of Fire integrated into his True Fire, his True Fire had grown much stronger than before; he wanted to see how long they would last!
After removing the Time Formation, Li Cheng maintained the process of incubation and continued his pursuit of enlightenment!
With the cultivation levels of Yun Tianqiong and Ling Xi, staying in a distorted flow of time for too long was not beneficial, especially since Ling Xi was on the brink of entering the Golden Core Stage. If her breakthrough were affected by the Time Formation, it could potentially lead to severe consequences.
They needed to stabilize their cultivation in a normal state.
Li Cheng directly used five opportunities for enlightenment, and more than five days passed before he awoke.
Both the Time Law and Rule of Fire had reached forty strands, and the Life Law had reached thirty-five strands.
The two Immortal Beast eggs finally showed some reaction!
After a moment of inspection, Li Cheng was somewhat at a loss for words; there was a clear and audible heartbeat within the two eggs, but it was obvious that it was not yet time for them to hatch.
By now, with forty strands of the Rule of Fire fused into the True Fire, it seemed they had reached the limit they could withstand.
In that case, there was no need to continue comprehending the Law. He would first decrypt that brick!
“Enlightenment!”
His mind sank into the brick, entering a state of rapid decryption.
The brick was densely covered with countless Array Patterns naturally formed. With each pattern he decoded, Li Cheng gained another pattern, and he drew one step closer to the mystical object in the center of the brick that was emitting Immortal Qi.
After half a day had passed, Li Cheng clearly felt that his Array Mastery had improved greatly, and the object at the center was revealed!
It was a jade stone about half the size of a fist, enveloped in Immortal Qi, with a map etched upon its surface!
The map had no textual explanations, only a red dot marked in the center.
“Could this be a Treasure Map?” Li Cheng muttered as he woke from his state of enlightenment.
XXX
Pfft!
The array pattern was completely deciphered, and the brick shattered, leaving only that piece of jade permeated with Immortal Qi.
Li Cheng hurriedly set up a formation on the surface of the jade to seal the emanating aura, for it was an Immortal Stone—should its aura spread, it would likely attract unwanted trouble.
Like Spirit Stones, Immortal Stones are formed from the condensation of nature’s spiritual energy, whereas Immortal Stones are formed from the condensation of Immortal Qi. Logically, only the Immortal World could give rise to Immortal Stones.
This Immortal Stone had a map carved on it; presumably, the Immortal Stone itself was brought down from the Immortal World by an Immortal. As for this map, it likely indicated a location within the Kunlun Southern Region.
“Could it be that an Immortal left behind a treasure, deliberately engraved on the Immortal Stone, and this Immortal Stone, because it was placed in a special location, formed an Array Pattern Stone?”
Li Cheng pondered in silence; this possibility was very high!
Finding the place indicated by the map would make everything clear.
“There are nineteen more moments of Enlightenment left, which should be ample for me to switch to cultivating the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture. Once the transition is complete, 1’11 go and have a look!”
Having made up his mind, Li Cheng looked again at the Immortal beast egg, which seemed close to hatching.
“Come here!”
With his Spiritual Sense locking on Yun Tianqiong and Ling Xi not far away, Li Cheng transmitted his message.
In recent days, they had both been busy solidifying their cultivation, fearing to disturb Li Cheng who was immersed in Enlightenment, so they had kept their distance from this place.
“Master!” The two hurried over, bowing in unison.
Li Cheng pointed at the Immortal beast eggs. “These two eggs are close to hatching. Keep watch over them, and as soon as they hatch, try to communicate with them immediately and tame them.”
The two exchanged glances, both surprised in their eyes.
Yun Tianqiong said, “Master, these are Immortal Beasts, for us?”
“What else? They can’t be roasted until done. Anyway, since they are about to hatch, they’ll be your little companions from now on,” Li Cheng said with a laugh.
“These days I’ve been feeding them with True Fire, they’ll definitely feel very close to me upon birth, but I’ve no interest in raising them, so it’s up to you now.”
Any beast, particularly those with strong spiritual natures, would feel affinity toward the first person they see upon opening their eyes, which is why Li Cheng called them over to keep watch.
Li Cheng casually set up an eighth-level Defense Array on each of them, “Their cultivation upon birth should be at the Divinity Transformation Stage, be careful!”
After speaking, Li Cheng’s figure had already disappeared from the spot.
The Divinity Transformation Stage?
Their faces filled with astonishment, Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator Immortal Beasts, for them to tame?
The difficulty…
So high!
“Junior Sister, shall we take one each and just hold them?” Yun Tianqiong pondered for a moment, then said with a smile.
Ling Xi nodded, “I think so too, holding them will let the Immortal Beasts get used to our aura as much as possible, which should lower the difficulty of taming them.”
“How about we feed them with our blood? I’ve heard that Taming Beast Sect does it that way,” Yun Tianqiong suggested again.
“Let’s try that then!”
Li Cheng paid no attention to them; with the protection of the eighth-level formation, there was no need to worry about their safety. He let them figure it out on their own!
Arriving at the mountain summit, Li Cheng used another moment of Enlightenment to switch to cultivating the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture.
With Li Cheng’s current level of cultivation, switching cultivation techniques normally would take quite a while, but under the state of Enlightenment, the required time would be greatly shortened.
Li Cheng, now in the state of Enlightenment, was unaware that at this moment, at Heavenly Mechanism Sect, numerous high-ranking members had gathered, all with excited expressions!
Clearly, there was good news!
