Chapter 352: Chapter 298: Ten Thousand Moments of Enlightenment_2

With a slight sensing, Li Cheng found something unusual. It was Ao Jiugai who, in the State of Remnant Soul, had fused into the Divine Vein, controlling it and forging ahead.

“The mentor has arrived!”

Yin Yue and Duan Shuiliu, who were grilling fish, quickly got up to greet him, followed closely by Ao Qing behind them.

“You all continue, I’ll check on Elder Ao,” Li Cheng waved his hand dismissively as he flew over to the top-quality Divine Vein, “Elder Ao, the top-quality Divine Vein didn’t repel you?”

“Haha, this top-quality Divine Vein gave birth to a very weak Spiritual Wisdom. I contemplated for a long time and then fused with it. Now, I am the Divine Vein!” Ao Jiugai laughed.

Li Cheng was astonished, unsure if this was good or bad. As such, Ao Jiugai had become the spirit of the Divine Vein and probably could not restore his dragon body in the future.

The advantage, however, was that this top-quality Divine Vein was, in a way, sentient, capable of controlling the power it contained. Merely releasing a little could massively enhance the density of Divine Qi throughout Blunt Empty Residence.

Seeing Li Cheng silent, Ao Jiugai said, “I didn’t act without informing you on purpose. It’s just that I had a strange feeling that it seemed right to do so.”

Li Cheng smiled, “I didn’t mean to blame you, Elder. It’s just that by doing this, you won’t be able to restore your dragon body in the future. Is it worth it?”

“If Blunt Empty Residence and this Divine Vein were in someone else’s hands, it naturally wouldn’t be worth it. But with you, it’s different. I believe you will achieve extraordinary things in the future, and by following you, not only can I look after my daughter, but I might even grow into the legendary Ancestor Vein,” Ao Jiugai chuckled.

“Anyway, it’s good you don’t blame me. There are many benefits to this, and the only downside is that I can’t leave Blunt Empty Residence,” he added.

As Ao Jiugai spoke, he breathed out a stream of Divine Qi toward Li Cheng, “Try refining this Divine Qi.”

Li Cheng clearly sensed that this wisp of Divine Qi contained an extremely pure and vast power.

With curiosity, Li Cheng inhaled it into his body, sat down cross-legged, and began refining.

Ao Jiugai continued to nibble at the edges of Blunt Empty Residence, chuckling to himself.

As the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture circulated, the wisp of Divine Qi seemed endless, continuously releasing Divine Power that melded into Li Cheng’s body, causing his Cultivation to skyrocket.

Before long, he had stepped into the late stages of the Heaven God State, yet this wisp of Divine Qi had only been depleted by a small fraction.

After several circulations of the Cultivation Technique, Li Cheng’s Cultivation stabilized and continued to rise. Only a few days had passed, and he had astonishingly reached the peak of the Heaven God Realm!

Once his Cultivation had been consolidated, the strand of Divine Qi finally ran out.

Li Cheng opened his eyes in astonishment and looked at Ao Jiugai, who was busy cultivating land, “Elder, what’s the situation with that Divine Qi? Just a strand of it, and my Cultivation has risen from the mid to the peak of the Heaven God State!”

“Haha, that’s one of the benefits I mentioned. This is the essence of this top-quality Divine Vein!” Ao Jiugai flew over, saying proudly.

Li Cheng’s eyes lit up. From mid-Heaven God State to the peak would have taken him two hundred years, even if he continuously consumed Heaven God Pills, but just this strand of essence had taken only three days!

“I know what you’re thinking, but you’ve thought too much. Since it’s the essence, it naturally can’t be used lightly, or it could damage the very core,” Ao Jiugai said.

Li Cheng smiled, he indeed had thought about refining a large amount of this essence, but to do so would be like draining the pond to get the fish.

“How often can you provide a strand?” Li Cheng asked.

Ao Jiugai pondered, “By my estimate, it’s most appropriate to use a strand every hundred years. It won’t affect the growth of this Divine Vein.”

A hundred years outside was just one year.

Li Cheng nodded in satisfaction and pointed at the edge of Blunt Empty Residence, “Blunt Empty Residence has expanded quite a bit, Elder. How big do you plan to cultivate it?”

Ao Jiugai shook his head, “It’s not that I want to cultivate, but rather, after consuming that Chaos, the Divine Vein grows quickly, so it’s killing two birds with one stone.”

Fast growth and an expansion of Blunt Empty Residence, to him, it truly was killing two birds with one stone.

Li Cheng was puzzled. The Chaos seemed nothing more than a dense white fog. He had tried it himself; while the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture could enhance Cultivation when absorbed, the refinement was too slow, hardly worth it, not to mention less effective than absorbing the Divine Qi from the surrounding environment.

Yet looking at the Divine Vein, its form had indeed grown by leaps and bounds, stretching out by roughly a zhang.

“Blunt Empty Residence is not simple, or to be precise, the main material used to make Blunt Empty Residence is not simple. If I keep consuming like this, it might indeed be possible to become the legendary Ancestor Vein!” Ao Jiugai laughed.

“Then keep at it. Once you’ve grown, provide more essence,” Li Cheng said with a smile.

“Do I even need to say it? Don’t waste time, off I go!”

Ao Jiugai flew back to the Chaos and continued to nibble.

Li Cheng observed for a moment and then joined his two disciples and Ao Qing for a sumptuous meal. Afterward, he returned to the courtyard, sat at the stone table, and began his Cultivation.

This stone table is Time Divine Jade, and utilizing it to comprehend the Time Law is undoubtedly the best choice.

“Enlightenment!”

Li Cheng, as of now, possesses 4.7 million Time Laws. Last time, in that mountain cave in Savage Ridge, when he unleashed the 4.7 million Time Laws, even the attacks of Heaven God State peak powerhouses could be eroded, which is why Li Cheng planned to continue comprehending the Time Law.

In Blunt Empty Residence, the flow of time is a hundredfold faster, so Li Cheng finally didn’t have to worry about the time consumed.

As time passed day by day, each day, Li Cheng’s Time Law could increase by about four thousand.

“The master is truly deserving of his reputation, ordinary cultivators often have just a few hours of Enlightenment, but the master has been in a state of Enlightenment for twenty-seven years!”

“Satisfied now? You pride yourself on being a genius, but compared to the master, you’re utterly useless.”

At the gate of the courtyard, the conversation between Duan Shuiliu and Yin Yue arose.

Since Li Cheng started his retreat practice, twenty-seven years had passed.

With a face full of reverence, Duan Shuiliu looked at Li Cheng, whose eyes were slightly closed, and nodded, “Senior Sister, how many Time Laws do you think are surrounding the master?”

Yin Yue shook her head, “It should be around forty to fifty million, in any case, it’s more than three percent.”

Duan Shuiliu’s reverence grew even stronger as he swallowed hard, “If it surpasses five percent, wouldn’t the master become a Law Envoy of the Time Law?”

In the Divine Realm, each Law is 10,800 times that of the Lower World, totaling to over 1.3 billion. If one comprehends more than five percent of a certain Law, they are called a Law Envoy.

The reason for such a title after reaching five percent is that at this level, the might of the Law would greatly increase.

“It probably hasn’t reached five percent yet. I read in the scriptures that to reach five percent, at a minimum, you need to be in the True God Realm,” Yin Yue said.

While they spoke, the Time Law surrounding Li Cheng slowly converged.

“The master is about to awaken!”

Both of them stood up in unison, respectfully watching Li Cheng.

Li Cheng slowly opened his eyes. Was his Cultivation insufficient to continue comprehending the Time Law?

Through ten thousand Enlightenments, the Time Law had increased from 7.7 million to 53 million!

Probably, even ordinary Divine Kings had not comprehended so many Laws.

“Ten thousand times of Enlightenment only yielded this little comprehension, and I’ve fallen behind on other various Laws. There aren’t enough Enlightenments!” Li Cheng sighed inwardly.

If he didn’t rely on Enlightenment and comprehended in the normal way, he feared it would take tens of thousands of times more time.

[Current remaining number of Enlightenments: 11,844.]

After glancing at the remaining number of Enlightenments, Li Cheng decided not to continue with Enlightenment. Now, even if he used up Enlightenments to comprehend other Laws, it wouldn’t be of much significance.

It would be better to wait until his Cultivation entered the True God Realm. By then, each Enlightenment would certainly yield comprehension of significantly more Laws.

“Master, are you about to become a Law Envoy of the Time Law?” Duan Shuiliu’s voice was filled with admiration.

Li Cheng shook his head and smiled, “Not yet. Aren’t you two supposed to be cultivating? Or did you come to find me for something?”

Both shook their heads simultaneously, and Yin Yue said, “Master, we just came out of retreat a few days ago. Elder Ao asked us to wait here and to invite you over as soon as you came out of retreat.”

“What’s going on?” Li Cheng looked puzzled; wasn’t Ao Jiugai always feasting on Chaos?

“Elder Ao discovered something but wouldn’t let us see it,” Duan Shuiliu said.

Li Cheng stood up and with a thought, he appeared not far from the coiled up Ao Jiugai.

Li Cheng glanced around and quietly marveled. Only twenty-seven years had passed in retreat, yet the size of Blunt Empty Residence had expanded several times over, now spanning over thirty li in diameter!

Redirecting his gaze, Li Cheng turned toward the slightly closed eyes of Ao Jiugai, “Elder, wake up.”

The coiled Ao Jiugai slowly opened its eyes, “You’ve come out of retreat? Look at this thing quickly; it’s strange. How could digging into the Chaos on the perimeter of Blunt Empty Residence have unearthed this?”

As it spoke, Ao Jiugai’s coiled body stretched out, revealing what it had been covering.
