Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend! Chapter 489: Chapter 364 Holy Scripture of Life and Death2
"Thank you, Elder Li. Shall we set off for the Dayan Divine Sect now?" Venerable Sou said with anticipation.
Li Cheng nodded.
The journey to the Dayan Divine Sect was due south, in the sa direction as his next disciple's location, saving him quite a bit of trouble.
Using the Transmission Array, the three of them made several transfers, and a few days later, they had left the jurisdiction of the Mysterious Fire Heavenly Venerable and arrived within the domain of the Strear Heavenly Venerable.
In Li Cheng's mory, there were no notable conflicts of interest between the Confucian Sect and the Dayan Divine Sect, as they were located far apart, hence encounters were rare and the relationship was neither good nor bad.
However, his seventh senior fellow disciple was a Heavenly Venerable, and being in the sa high ranks of the Divine Court as the Strear Heavenly Venerable, their interactions must have been frequent.
Their relationship to so extent already represented the ties between the two sects.
"We are almost there. The Strear Heavenly Venerable controls the Earth Speed Mansion, Earth Town Mansion, Earth Restraint Mansion, and other Twelve Mansions; the headquarters of the Dayan Divine Sect is right at the central location of the Earth Speed Mansion," Venerable Tong said eagerly.
Li Cheng's expression was a bit strange because the green arrow was still pointing straight ahead; surely the next disciple eting the criteria wasn't also in the Earth Speed Mansion?
If so, that would be killing two birds with one stone.
Soon after, the trio were transmitted to the city of the Earth Speed Mansion, Mansion Venerable City. Exiting the city, they flew directly south for hundreds of thousands of miles and finally saw the headquarters of the Dayan Divine Sect!
"The headquarters of the Dayan Divine Sect is comprised of eighteen cities and the main gate, and I heard there are exceedingly powerful formations protecting them. Once activated, even a Divine Emperor would perish," Venerable Tong remarked.
Li Cheng nodded slightly, as he had already sensed it.
Passing through the cities, the main gate of the Dayan Divine Sect was not far off.
Outside the gate was a plaza, above which floated a hundred-zhang large ancient book.
The book was open in the middle, looking equally thick on both sides. People occasionally stepped into the air and flew into the book.
"After the Death Heavenly Venerable passed away, the Dayan Divine Sect placed the Holy Scripture of Life and Death here to allow free access for everyone. They also declared that whoever was predestined could possess it!" explained Venerable Sou.
The Holy Scripture of Life and Death was a treasure in itself, capable of being the sect's treasure in any sect's possession. The Dayan Divine Sect's decision must have been in compliance with the Death Heavenly Venerable's last wish, to find the predestined one for it.
"Is there more?" Li Cheng asked.
Venerable Tong took over the conversation, "The Dayan Divine Sect also announced in the na of the Strear Heavenly Venerable that whoever is recognized by the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, regardless of their identity, will beco the sect's God Child.
They won't only enjoy the treatnt of an elder in the Dayan Divine Sect but will also receive guidance from the Strear Heavenly Venerable."
The guidance of a Heavenly Venerable is highly beneficial even to a Divine Emperor, let alone to cultivators below that level. Hence, over the years, countless cultivators have entered the Holy Scripture of Life and Death to attempt it.
The identity as a God Child of the Dayan Divine Sect is even more coveted.
Li Cheng nodded lightly, his gaze turning towards the depths of the Dayan Divine Sect, a hint of resignation in his eyes.
It was truly unexpected; the next disciple eting the criteria was actually within the Dayan Divine Sect!
If he could obtain the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, with the identity of a God Child, taking a person would certainly not be difficult.
But if he couldn't get the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, recruiting a disciple would an having to snatch soone away.
How could he possibly snatch soone?
With a silent sigh, Li Cheng made a decision. If he couldn't obtain the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, he would not take this disciple.
Thinking this, Li Cheng said, "I'll give it a try."
The two suppressed the joy in their hearts and nodded together.
Li Cheng flew above the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, only to see the opened pages shimring with ripples like flowing water, space fluctuating from ti to ti, with people entering and exiting.
Li Cheng descended and as the space fluctuated, the world before him turned into a vast expanse of whiteness!
Looking around, a trace of perplexity appeared in Li Cheng's eyes. He felt sothing was missing here.
There was no Heaven and Earth Divine Qi here, not even laws, it seed that aside from the expanse of white, there was nothingness.
With curiosity, Li Cheng sat down cross-legged and began to quietly sense his surroundings.
After a mont of sensation, surprise grew in Li Cheng's heart. "Why is there no law or power within this Holy Scripture of Life and Death?"
Everything in the world should show traces of the Order of Heaven and Earth, yet there was none to be found here!
It appeared as though this place was detached from this realm of existence or as if soone had stripped it away, exceedingly strange.
After a few seconds of contemplation, Li Cheng imdiately employed Enlightennt!
Under the state of Enlightennt, the vast whiteness of the world changed. It was no longer nothingness, but rather it seed that invisible black fish were swimming through the world, which after a while, turned back into an expanse of white.
But in the next mont, the boundless white world suddenly turned pitch black, and within this darkness, there were white fish swimming to and fro!
"Is this the evolution of life and death?"
Li Cheng slowly opened his eyes. Although the ti of enlightennt was brief, it allowed Li Cheng to realize that the Holy Scripture of Life and Death was indeed missing sothing, making the evolution of life and death within it incomplete.
As for what exactly was missing, he could not say at the mont.
Shaking his head, Li Cheng stopped thinking about this issue, as the Five Elental Law erged around him!
As soon as the five complete laws appeared, tal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates tal; the five laws endlessly circulating, ford a huge sphere around Li Cheng, spreading out in every direction!
Under the power of the Five Elents, the boundless heaven and earth were scattered, and from the outside, the entire Holy Scripture of Life and Death seed to shake violently!
Under its shaking, the people who had entered were thrown out one after another!
Not far away, the Two Venerables of Young and Old exchanged glances, both noticing the surprise in each other's eyes!
"This is an unprecedented scene. Could it be that Elder Li is going to succeed?" Venerable Tong expressed in astonishnt.
Venerable Sou's facial muscles twitched, "Why do I feel like he's more like forcibly suppressing the Holy Scripture of Life and Death?"
"Forcibly suppressing?" Venerable Tong's eyes widened as he muttered, "This... wouldn't this provoke the hostility of the Dayan Divine Sect?"
Venerable Sou turned his head to look around, eventually shifting his gaze towards the depths of the Dayan Divine Sect, "A Divine Emperor is on the way, I'm afraid things don't bode well!"
Forcing the Holy Scripture of Life and Death into submission is sothing no one dares to do.
And even if one dares to do so, without the cultivation of a Divine Emperor, they probably wouldn't be able to suppress it, right?
As they were speaking, the Divine Emperor of the Dayan Divine Sect had already appeared above the Holy Scripture of Life and Death!
He was an elderly man who appeared to be in his seventies or eighties; although his mid-stage Divine Emperor's Realm cultivation was strongly restrained, the aura that leaked out made it difficult for others to breathe.
The elder stared intently at the Holy Scripture of Life and Death with astonishnt filling his eyes.
Clearly, the elder had not expected soone to co and forcibly suppress the Holy Scripture of Life and Death.
Was this to force the Holy Scripture of Life and Death to recognize a master?
The elder's frown deepened gradually as he seed to contemplate the will of the Death Heavenly Venerable.
The will stated that a fated person should be found for the Holy Scripture of Life and Death.
If it was about finding a fated person, then the Holy Scripture of Life and Death should naturally select its own master, right?
Now soone from within was forcibly suppressing it; if they succeeded, would that still be a fated person?
The elder's brows grew increasingly furrowed as he turned his head towards the depths of the Dayan Divine Sect, his divine sense fluctuating, obviously communicating with soone.
Venerable Tong said in a low voice, "This Divine Emperor is probably communicating with the high ranking mbers of the Dayan Divine Sect. It's uncertain whether Elder Li will anger the Dayan Divine Sect."
"Let's watch and see how things unfold. Elder Li's background may not be simple, the Dayan Divine Sect might not make a move against him," stated Venerable Sou.
Venerable Tong silently nodded, his gaze filled with both worry and anticipation as he watched the Holy Scripture of Life and Death.
Inside the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, the Five Elental Law had already swept through the entire world within the book, causing the black and white evolution to disappear and be completely replaced by the endlessly cyclical Five Elents!
Even so, aside from intense trembling, the Holy Scripture of Life and Death showed no further reaction!
Li Cheng secretly clicked his tongue, "Indeed, it's missing 'spirit'!"
"It seems that the Holy Scripture of Life and Death once had spiritual nature or spiritual wisdom, but it was stripped away!"
Without spirit, it naturally could not willingly recognize a master.
With this thought, Li Cheng's divine soul power surged, utilizing the Five Elental Law to penetrate every part of the world within the book.
Gradually, Li Cheng began to feel a sense of control over the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, and this sense of control grew stronger as his divine soul power continued to penetrate.
Above the scripture, the elder's brows relaxed, and with a sowhat speechless shake of his head, he placed his hands behind his back and quietly waited.
At this sight, the Two Venerables of Young and Old breathed a sigh of relief. Venerable Sou said, "Elder Li really has so guts, but it's also strange; it seems like the Dayan Divine Sect doesn't plan to intervene."
Venerable Tong nodded, "There must be so secret involved that Elder Li has discovered."
"Hmm, the Dayan Divine Sect isn't stopping Elder Li, so it ans that either Elder Li won't succeed, or the Dayan Divine Sect has already prepared for Elder Li to beco the God Child!"
