“Brother Gu, is there such a rush? The crisis at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect has just passed, and stability has yet to return!”
Li Cheng felt somewhat helpless, having known that Gu Sanqiu was coming not only to see Ancestor Master Tianji Zi but also to keep an eye on him.
After all, having received the purple charm, he was the next successor of the Pill League, and naturally, Gu Sanqiu wouldn’t allow him to stay outside for long.
Now that the crisis was averted, there it was, Gu Sanqiu couldn’t wait to take him to the Divine Palace Region.
“Brother Gu, it has been many years since we last met, let’s spend some time together before you leave!” Tianji Zi said.
Gu Sanqiu shook his head firmly, reached out, and grabbed Li Cheng’s wrist, “No, there’s an emergency at the Pill League, we must hurry back.”
An emergency?
Li Cheng looked at Gu Sanqiu with suspicion. Could it be that something had happened at the Pill League?
Tianji Zi sighed quietly, “Very well, important matters take precedence. After things are settled, remember to come here and gather!”
Gu Sanqiu nodded and dragged Li Cheng onto the Transmission Array.
Upon arriving at the outskirts of the Land of Chaos, Li Cheng then said, “Brother Gu, the emergency was fake, wasn’t it? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
Gu Sanqiu was known for his impatience, and Li Cheng was aware of this, but he hadn’t expected him to be in such a rush at this moment.
Gu Sanqiu let out a long sigh, his face showing a deep sorrow, “You should have noticed, Tianji Zi doesn’t have much longevity left, I fear he won’t last a hundred years.”
“The reason I’m hurrying to take you away is to look for a method to save him as soon as possible in our books!”
Listening to Gu Sanqiu, Li Cheng’s brow furrowed, “Ancestor Master’s vitality is indeed severely diminished, but it’s caused by the backlash of Heaven and Earth, and there is no medicine that can cure it!”
“No, Heaven and Earth always leave a glimmer of hope; everything has a sliver of a chance for life. It’s right for you to follow me and look!” Gu Sanqiu said.
Li Cheng waved his hand and summoned the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle. Both of them landed on its back, and it carried them toward the Central Continent.
Li Cheng said, “Ancestor Master has labored a lifetime for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, no disciple of the sect wishes to see him fall. I am no exception. If there’s a way, I will do my utmost.”
Gu Sanqiu nodded, “The only method I know at present is ascension to godhood!”
“The deities measure their longevity in kalpas, and one kalpa is nearly thirteen billion years. If he can ascend to godhood, this problem would naturally dissolve easily.”
“But in this era, it seems no one has ascended to godhood; perhaps there is a deficit within the Heaven and Earth that makes it impossible to become a god, so we need to look for other methods.”
Li Cheng was aware of the deficit in Heaven and Earth.
Moreover, even if there were no deficit in Heaven and Earth, it would be impossible for Ancestor Master Tianji Zi, with only a hundred years of life left, to step into the God Realm.
Therefore, to save him, other methods must be found.
In just half a day’s time, the two returned to the Divine Palace Region, and under Gu Sanqiu’s lead, they plunged into the Scripture Repository.
The Pill League’s ancient texts were all stored in the form of Jade Slips, which were incredibly convenient to consult. With a sweep of Immortal Sense, the information within was revealed in one’s mind.
“How great is this? This is the Pill God Alliance’s Scripture Repository, only the successive Alliance Hierarchs have access. It contains information from several eras; we will definitely find a way to save Tianji Zi here.”
The Pill God Alliance heritage spanned several eras, currently masquerading as the Pill League, and Gu Sanqiu was the 19,972nd Alliance Hierarch.
This Scripture Repository was hidden in a Secret Land, holding countless Jade Slips. Even with Li Cheng’s powerful Immortal Sense, it was impossible to digest the information recorded in these Jade Slips in a short amount of time. “Our luck is so good, I’ve found it! There’s a record here that divine medicine exists in the ancient battlefield. Taking it can mend the damage caused by the backlash of Heaven and Earth!”
As Li Cheng was astounded by the vastness of the Scripture Repository’s collection, Gu Sanqiu’s voice rang out.
Li Cheng was astounded as he took the Jade Slip and looked at it, it was left by an Alliance Hierarch over a hundred million years ago, who had visited the ancient battlefield and seen Divine Medicine there but lacked the power to subdue it.
After replacing the Jade Slip, Gu Sanqiu said, “This information is very useful, but the question is where exactly is the ancient battlefield!”
“It’s in the Land of Chaos,” said Li Cheng.
This was something the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle had mentioned, but even knowing where the ancient battlefield was, it wasn’t easy to find the entrance.
“Oh? Then the second question is, if we do enter the ancient battlefield and find the Divine Medicine, do we have the ability to subdue it!” Gu Sanqiu asked again.
Just as Li Cheng was about to speak, Gu Sanqiu shook his head, “This method is almost impossible to achieve, keep looking, there must be another way.”
Li Cheng released the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, “Divine Turtle, you have already stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm, are you confident you can find the ancient battlefield?”
It had been there before, but at that time its cultivation was too low to explore within.
Now it was different, it had already reached the early stages of the Immortal Emperor Realm and could even withstand one attack from those eight thousand people by itself, so finding the ancient battlefield should not be a big problem.
“There is a ten to twenty percent chance, if my cultivation reaches the peak or completes the Immortal Emperor Realm, that would be a sixty to seventy percent chance,” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle pondered.
Gu Sanqiu flew back, “I forgot, Li Cheng, you were able to kill three hundred Immortal Emperors in such a short period of time, so subduing the Divine Medicine should definitely not be a problem, after all, you have a Law field.” “Since that’s the case, let’s go to the Land of Chaos now and find the ancient battlefield!” Gu Sanqiu continued.
Gu Sanqiu was incredibly impatient, really beyond the ordinary.
“Brother Gu, don’t rush, finding the ancient battlefield is not that simple; I will first repair the Immortal Palace and let the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle’s cultivation advance a bit more before going. That way, we’ll have a greater chance,” said Li Cheng.
“No, this matter can’t be delayed, the strength of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle is already strong enough, let’s set out now!” Gu Sanqiu insisted.
Li Cheng pondered and then suggested, “How about this, we split into three groups: Brother Gu continues to search for useful information here, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle heads to the Land of Chaos to find the ancient battlefield, and I will go take care of something important.”
Gu Sanqiu frowned, “What important thing?”
He didn’t mind doing the heavy lifting along with the Divine Turtle, but if Li Cheng was going to sneak off and slack off, that was absolutely unacceptable!
Li Cheng took out the Fire Mysterious Realm, “There’s a God’s Right Hand suppressed inside. I want to find other parts. If I can gather the Divine Corpse or extract the essence of divine substances, it’s very possible to refine a Pill that could help Ancestor Master extend his life.”
Gu Sanqiu looked at Li Cheng in amazement, “You actually have a piece of a Divine Corpse in your hands?”
“You should have said so earlier, come with me!”
Gu Sanqiu lifted Li Cheng with Immortal Yuan and flew to the depths of the Scripture Repository, taking out a Jade Slip, “Look at this!”
Li Cheng scrutinized it, a look of surprise appearing on his face, “What a prodigious talent! This Alliance Hierarch actually used a Divine Corpse to refine a Divine Pill…”
The Jade Slip recorded that an Alliance Hierarch from the previous era had used a piece of a Divine Corpse, combined with many Immortal Elixirs, to refine a Divine Pill!
That Divine Pill, because it contained the divinity and life force of deities and more, tremendously increased one’s lifespan and strength upon ingestion.
Gu Sanqiu returned the Jade Slip, saying, “You better go into seclusion quickly, try your best to increase your cultivation. I will search for these Immortal Elixirs. I estimate that it won’t take many years to gather them, and then it will be your time to act, so the higher your cultivation, the better!”
Li Cheng nodded, there was just no way to deal with someone as impatient as Gu Sanqiu.
But indeed, to refine the Divine Pill, sufficient preparation was necessary.
For now, he needed to find the other half of the Divine World within the Fire Mysterious Realm. Only with the complete DivineWorld suppressing it, would Li Cheng stand a chance of retrieving the God’s Right Hand.
Otherwise, he would definitely be killed by the unleashed power of the God’s Right Hand.
