Chapter 488: Chapter 364 Holy Scripture of Life and Death_1

Li Cheng had not flown far before the Two Venerables of Young and Old caught up with him, “Elder Li, please wait!”

Li Cheng stopped calmly, “Do the two of you have other matters?”

The Two Venerables of Young and Old exchanged glances, and Venerable Young stepped forward, bowing as he said, “We would like to ask for Elder Li’s assistance, of course, we will offer a reward!”

Li Cheng looked at them suspiciously, “With your strength, if you can’t handle it, I’m afraid I won’t be much help either, right?”

Venerable Sou sighed, “Elder Li must have noticed that the two of us cultivate the Path of Life and the Path of Death, and within the Path of Life and Death, there is a treasure known as the Holy Scripture of Life and Death!”

Li Cheng nodded, “I’ve heard of it, the two of you wish to obtain the Holy Scripture of Life and Death? But I’ve also heard that the Holy Scripture of Life and Death is in the hands of the former Death Heavenly Venerable.”

The Death Heavenly Venerable, that was an existence at the level of Heavenly Venerables, probably not weaker than several of his senior brothers. Later, it was said that due to his impending lifespan, he resigned from his position and whether he was still alive or not, Li Cheng did not know.

Venerable Young quickly said, “Elder Li, rest assured, we do not wish to be enemies with the Death Heavenly Venerable, and moreover, the Death Heavenly Venerable has already passed away. The Holy Scripture of Life and Death has since been entrusted to his foremost disciple.”

Li Cheng’s eyebrows rose, “The Death Heavenly Venerable’s foremost disciple? Streamer Heavenly Venerable?”

He wondered what these two were thinking to try to get the Holy Scripture of Life and Death from a Heavenly Venerable.

Even if you could enlist the help of several Divine Emperors, they would not dare to agree to such a request!

Although Li Cheng had never met the Streamer Heavenly Venerable, how could he not have heard of him? His cultivation of the Streamer Path was extremely peculiar, reportedly unparalleled in the Divine Realm!

And behind him, he had the support of the Dayan Divine Sect; provoking him was tantamount to provoking the whole sect.

The Dayan Divine Sect, established by the Death Heavenly Venerable, had been in existence for billions of years and its strength naturally did not need to be questioned.

Even though the influence of the Dayan Divine Sect was not as vast as that of the Confucian Sect, Li Cheng was not foolish enough to provoke them and invite trouble for the Confucian Sect.

Venerable Sou took over the conversation and coughed dryly, “Elder Li, please don’t misunderstand, we wouldn’t dare to provoke the Streamer Heavenly Venerable. Here’s the thing: after the Death Heavenly Venerable’s passing, the Dayan Divine Sect set a rule!”

“This rule is said to be the dying wish of the Death Heavenly Venerable, which is, any cultivator who can pass the test of the Dayan Divine Sect can obtain the Holy Scripture of Life and Death.”

Li Cheng looked at them again and contemplated, “Could it be that you both have already attempted the test and failed, and now you want me to try?”

Both of them nodded simultaneously, hope shining in their eyes.

Li Cheng shrugged, “But if I pass and obtain the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, why would I give it to you?”

Without panic, the Two Venerables of Young and Old, Venerable Sou smiled, “The Holy Scripture of Life and Death has been passed down for a long time, containing not just the Complete Confucianism Law but also reportedly secrets of world-shaking cultivation techniques, and it’s even rumored to be linked to eternal life. Elder Li, if you were to obtain it, naturally we wouldn’t dare to ask for it, but to borrow it!”

Venerable Young also said, “To borrow, there will certainly be a corresponding reward, one that Elder Li will definitely want!”

Li Cheng looked at the two who were playing good cop and bad cop and smiled, “There are not many things that can interest me!”

Venerable Young also smiled, “Confucianism has been flourishing for nearly a trillion years, and the first Confucius Ancestor emerged more than nine hundred billion years ago, the number one man of the Divine Realm at that time. His Book of Confucius has always been a mystery, right?”

“Elder Li, while the Haoran Justice Air about you is extremely well concealed, we two are highly perceptive. Surely, with your Confucianism Law complete, you must be interested in the Book of Confucius, right?”

Li Cheng maintained a calm demeanor, but inside, he was filled with astonishment.

The Book of Confucius, the Confucian Sect had been searching for it for countless ages!

The Divine Realm had been turned upside down by the Confucian Sect, but there had been no news of the Book of Confucius, to the point where it was considered a legend.

Now, hearing the news of the Book of Confucius from two Divine Venerables, how could Li Cheng not be astonished?

Venerable Sou coughed and said, “We accidentally obtained news of the Book of Confucius, and it surely won’t be wrong, because without securing the Book of Confucius, we wouldn’t dare to propose an exchange with Elder Li for the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, but to borrow!”

“If Elder Li can obtain the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, we are willing to provide the news of the Book of Confucius in exchange for ten thousand years of control over the Holy Scripture of Life and Death.”

Li Cheng fell silent, the deal might not be possible because he may not be able to obtain the Holy Scripture of Life and Death.

But if it were to happen, this trade would be a good one.

To himself, if the news of the Book of Confucius is true, just for that news he could exchange for the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, let alone for only ten thousand years of control.

“The news of the Book of Confucius, in exchange for ten thousand years of control over the Holy Scripture of Life and Death…” Li Cheng pondered.

“How can you be certain that the news of the Book of Confucius won’t be mistaken?” Li Cheng asked the crucial question.

The Two Venerables of Young and Old looked at each other, and Venerable Young said, “The matter is confidential, we cannot say much, but we can swear an oath by the Heavenly Dao that it will not be mistaken!”

Li Cheng quietly sized up the two, and sensing with his Divine Soul, he could tell they were not lying.

After a few seconds of silence, Li Cheng said, “I can try the Dayan Divine Sect test. Whether I can obtain the Holy Scripture of Life and Death is not certain. By the way, is the test you mentioned troublesome or time-consuming?”

Hearing this, both of them were overjoyed, and Venerable Young quickly said, “It’s not troublesome, nor time-consuming, at most a month.”

“Then fine, let’s talk after the test!”

Hearing that the test would take no more than a month, Li Cheng naturally would not refuse.
