3 Chapter 3: Another Reward_1

Translator: 549690339

The Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s main hall was located at the summit of the central mountain range, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.

At that moment, the First Elder flew straight into the main hall.

All the high-ranking members within the hall stood up in unison, their eyes filled with hopeful anticipation.

“First Elder, has the person been sent?” the Sect Master asked, his voice laced with expectancy.

The First Elder cupped his hands together, “Fortunately, I have not failed my mission. The junior mentor has taken him in!”

“Haha, excellent! This is wonderful news, issue the order, begin preparing the invitations immediately, invite all sects and powers from the Southern Domain to witness the junior mentor’s ascension ceremony!” the Sect Master laughed heartily.

Since the good-for-nothing had been sent over, and the junior mentor had accepted him, it meant that in just a few days the junior mentor would certainly undergo tribulation, and then ascend!

The Elders were overjoyed beyond measure; after ten thousand years, someone from their sect was finally going to ascend!

The First Elder looked stunned and hastily said, “Sect Master, it is too early to prepare the invitations. I…”

“It’s not too early. The Southern Domain is vast, and even with transmission arrays, gathering all powers will take at least a month. Preparing now is perfect!” an Elder said with a smile.

The First Elder bittersweetly said, “I haven’t finished speaking, please don’t interrupt me!”

“Oh? Please continue, First Elder!”

The First Elder cleared his throat, “The junior mentor said that he wants to participate in the Inner Gate’s recruitment of disciples two days from now!”

Upon hearing this, everyone furrowed their brows, and the Sect Master asked, “The junior mentor wants to take on disciples?”

“Exactly, it seems that the junior mentor has no immediate plans for tribulation crossing, let alone ascension!” the First Elder said, his face a portrait of helplessness.

The Sect Master pondered, tapping his fingers against the armrest of his chair for a long while before saying, “Prepare the invitations as usual but do not send them out yet. We will wait until after the junior mentor crosses his tribulation. For now, focus on the preparations for the Inner Gate’s recruitment ceremony.”

“Alright, you may all leave. I’ll go and have a talk with the junior mentor!” After speaking, the Sect Master’s figure vanished from the great hall.

At the Eighteenth Peak, Li Cheng sat in his room, summoning the system panel for review.

With two enlightenment opportunities at hand, after much thought, Li Cheng decided to continue seeking insight into the ways of heaven and earth, taking nature as his teacher, and to use one opportunity for enlightenment to give it a try!

“System, use one enlightenment opportunity!”

The next second, Li Cheng felt the scenery before his eyes shift rapidly; the room disappeared, replaced by a hazy world.

This world was filled with peculiar veins, each seemingly possessing the power to annihilate the heavens and obliterate the earth!

Li Cheng was inwardly shocked; in former inklings into the ways of heaven and earth, he could sense the power of rules binding everything. But now, under the state of enlightenment, the Rule Power appeared so vivid!

This Rule Power converged to form the Order of Heaven and Earth for this world!

Quietly contemplating, Li Cheng understood that so-called Tribulation Crossing was breaking the Order of Heaven and Earth, thus inciting these Laws to obstruct in the form of Tribulation Thunder!

Withstanding all the Tribulation Thunder meant receiving recognition from the Order of Heaven and Earth, thereby granting one the ability to leave this world and ascend to higher realms.

As he delved deeper into his contemplating, Li Cheng found that the forces making up the Order of Heaven and Earth were based on various elemental powers, encompassing many energies, both within and beyond his understanding.

“Three thousand great avenues, myriad lesser paths, all lie within this Order!”

With newfound understanding, Li Cheng reached out to touch a vein in front of him.

As soon as he made contact, he felt as though he had been struck. He was expelled from his state of enlightenment in an instant!

However, before he left that state, Li Cheng caught a glimpse of that vein leading him to an endless Long River of Time, and though it was just for a split second, he could sense that the river seemed to lead to an infinite past and future.

“The Long River of Time?” Li Cheng opened his eyes, his gaze filled with astonishment.

Just one enlightenment session allowed him to see the veins of heaven and earth, and in front of these veins, was his Complete Tribulation Crossing Stage so insignificant?

Yet these were merely the veins of heaven and earth in the Lower World. In the Immortal Realm, wouldn’t these veins be countless times more powerful?

According to the scriptures, the supremely powerful beings in the Immortal Realm could control the Power of Laws, wasn’t that horrifying?

Thinking of this, Li Cheng gasped in shock. Full mastery of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage was invincible in this world; without a Loose Immortal emerging, no one could contend.

But in the Immortal World, faced with those who wielded the Power of Laws, he was afraid he wouldn’t even amount to an ant!

In light of this, he must not ascend!

Indeed, he must not ascend. In the Immortal World, he would be nothing more than trash; it was safer to stay here.

Contemplating, Li Cheng took a deep breath, “If I could realize one or two veins of Heaven and Earth, then I could master one or two strands of the Power of Laws… With that, even if I faced a Loose Immortal in this world, I could probably protect myself, right?”

“As long as there are enough moments of Enlightenment, it seems I really could master some Power of Laws, even if it’s just one. It would make me countless times more powerful than I am now!”

Full mastery of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage was, by all accounts, the pinnacle of combat power in this world. As long as Loose Immortals remained absent, no one could contend.

But having encountered those veins of Heaven and Earth, Li Cheng knew he could take a different path!

With this in mind, Li Cheng no longer hesitated, “System, use Enlightenment again!”

Entering the state of Enlightenment once more, Li Cheng located the same vein as before, not touching it directly but instead starting to comprehend it.

“Unity of Heaven and Man! Is Junior Martial Uncle in a state of Enlightenment?”

Outside the courtyard, the Sect Master who had just flown in was flabbergasted. He could clearly sense that Li Cheng’s aura had merged with Heaven and Earth, which clearly indicated that he had entered the legendary state of Enlightenment!

“In ten thousand years, our sect has not had anyone enter the state of Enlightenment, Junior Martial Uncle is amazing!”

Enlightenment was a cultivator’s greatest opportunity, and of course, he dared not disturb Li Cheng, waiting quietly instead.

A day passed, and the Sect Master’s expression suddenly changed, hurriedly taking flight and retreating.

Having retreated, he saw the vegetation near Li Cheng’s courtyard growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

“Is this the power of life? No, could it be the most profound Time Law?”

The Sect Master’s expression turned shocked. With his insight, he of course knew that Junior Martial Uncle had triggered some sort of Law Power, and the most likely was the Time Law!

The next moment, the growth of the vegetation stopped, and Li Cheng’s aura reappeared, clearly indicating he had left the state of Enlightenment!

The Sect Master calmed himself, suppressing the shock in his heart, his eyes shifting towards the courtyard gate.

A state of Enlightenment, even if just for a brief moment, could bestow immense benefits, and he was very curious to find out just how much Li Cheng had gained after a day of Enlightenment.

From the way Junior Martial Uncle had triggered the Law Power earlier, could it be that he had mastered a certain Law?

The courtyard gate opened, and Li Cheng walked out, spirited and vigorous, immediately spotting the nearby Sect Master.

“Junior Martial Uncle!” The Sect Master greeted with folded hands, looking Li Cheng up and down, as though trying to discern any changes in him.

Li Cheng returned the greeting with a smile, “What are you looking at?”

“Junior Martial Uncle, after a day of Enlightenment, seems even more unfathomable. It’s a pity my cultivation is not on par with yours, and I can’t discern it,” the Sect Master said with a dry laugh.

Li Cheng remained silent with a smile; of course, it was natural. At this moment, he possessed a strand of the Time Law within him!

Though it was just one strand, when utilized, it could already affect the flow of time within a hundred meters around him.

Li Cheng was looking forward to it, wondering what it would be like if he mastered a thousand or even ten thousand strands in the future?

Seeing that Li Cheng wasn’t inclined to share more, the Sect Master changed the topic, “Junior Martial Uncle, I heard you’re planning to take disciples. What kind of disciple are you looking for?”

“It will depend on fate!”

Speaking, Li Cheng’s eyes brightened, and he turned his head towards the direction of the mountain peak.
