Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Master, Hit Him!_i

Translator: 549690339

Wan Zhongshan wished he could rush straight to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect at once, confident that with an Ancestor Master from the Immortal Realm present, they would be invincible.

However, to his surprise, the Ancestor Master seemed to have no intention of going to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and simply vanished into thin air after leaving a message.

Wan Zhongshan frowned, “Well, our target is Li Cheng, after all. Activate the warship, catch up with him!”

“Elder, how is your injury?” a Loose Immortal asked with concern.

Wan Zhongshan let out a helpless sigh, “My eleventh Loose Immortal Tribulation is only decades away, and there’s no chance of recovering within that time!”

The Loose Immortal’s eyes showed shock, suffering such serious injuries after merely staying in Li Cheng’s Spiritual Fire for one or two seconds?

How powerful must that Spiritual Fire be?

If he can’t recover, the next Loose Immortal Tribulation will be the day Wan Zhongshan’s soul is scattered!

“Right now, only by obtaining the Emperor Grade Responding to Calamity Pill can elder brother safely transcend the Loose Immortal Tribulation,” the Loose Immortal said thoughtfully.

Wan Zhongshan nodded, “The Ancestor Master sensed that Li Cheng had previously refined quite a few Emperor Grade Responding to Calamity Pills, catching him will resolve the issue.”

As he spoke, Wan Zhongshan swept his gaze over the crowd, “Everyone give it your all to stimulate your True Yuan, and catch up as fast as possible!”

Li Cheng, running at full speed, did not return to his sect but headed to the location indicated on the map of the Immortal Stone.

He knew the Taoist Mysterious Sect’s people would surely pursue him, and logically, returning to the sect would be the safest, given that the sect had measures left by the ancestors, which could handle ordinary Immortals without a problem.

But Li Cheng didn’t dare to take the risk; if the ancestors’ measures couldn’t stop those Immortals, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would suffer heavy losses.

On the contrary, the place pointed to by the Immortal Stone was very likely to be shrouded in a Natural Array, seeing as the stone came from an Array Pattern Stone.

Natural Arrays, even Immortals wouldn’t be able to break through them easily.

Therefore, finding that place might actually be safer.

Soon, Li Cheng had already flown past the valley from last time, and the direction indicated by the Immortal Stone was now very clear, apparently very close!

“What’s the use of running? Hehe, just stop, I, from the Taoist Mysterious Sect, simply wish to invite you to join us!”

The Immortal’s voice transmission echoed in Li Cheng’s ears.

Li Cheng spread his Immortal Sense over three thousand miles and found that the Immortal was always two thousand miles behind him, sticking to him like a persistent ointment, impossible to shake off!

Li Cheng didn’t respond and continued to rush forward.

“Stop wasting your energy, this old man is at the Complete Heavenly Immortal Realm, do you really think you can escape?”

“Just submit obediently!”

Complete Heavenly Immortal?

Li Cheng’s eyelids twitched, the strength of that previous True Immortal’s Remnant Soul was still fresh in his memory, this was a being just one step away from entering the True Immortal existence!

Could it be hundreds of times stronger than that Remnant Soul?

But after thinking for a moment, Li Cheng faintly felt something was amiss.

The aura given off by this Complete Heavenly Immortal didn’t seem much stronger than that of the previous Remnant Soul!

Logically, when an Immortal falls, if only the Immortal Infant remains, its combat capability should be less than one-tenth of when it had a physical body.

And a Remnant Soul, which is the Soul Power remaining after the Immortal Infant shatters, would have a combat capability that is countless times less.

By that calculation, the Remnant Soul definitely possesses only a mere fraction of the power of its peak, perhaps even less than one hundredth or one thousandth!

In that case, compared to that previous Remnant Soul, the elder of the Heavenly Immortal Realm must be lying; surely he had just entered the Heavenly Immortal stage—after all, he wasn’t much stronger than the Remnant Soul!

Since he had just become an Immortal not long ago, what was there to fear?

Having easily inflicted heavy injury on a ten-tribulation Loose Immortal, this newly promoted Immortal definitely wouldn’t be stronger, having only the advantage of Immortal Yuan over True Yuan.

Immortal Yuan, a level higher than True Yuan, is a qualitative difference; probably because of this difference, the elder was able to withstand his Spiritual Fire, right?

What Li Cheng didn’t know was that when the elder had resisted before, he couldn’t have held on for long.

Why did he have to run so fast?

If he had persisted a little longer, maybe the elder’s Immortal Yuan protection would have been burned through, after all, this was Spiritual Fire imbued with the Rule of Fire.

Even the laws of the Lower World are not to be underestimated.

Just as he prepared to stop and deal with the old man, a faint voice suddenly rang out in his head, “Hit him… Immortal Infant…”

“Hm? Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod?” Li Cheng was taken aback, the voice was clearly emanating from the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod!

“Yes, master, hit him!”

The voice was very childish and somewhat indistinct, but the message was clear: it was urging Li Cheng to attack!

“I was planning to do just that!”

Li Cheng stopped running, turned around, and looked at the old man rapidly approaching him, “You only became an Immortal recently, didn’t you?” Whoosh!

The old man arrived in an instant, stopping several miles away from Li Cheng, with a hint of confusion crossing his eyes. Was he actually persuaded by his own words and no longer fleeing?

But what did he mean by asking if he had just become an Immortal?

The old man recounted his own journey of cultivation. Fie had ascended more than ten thousand years ago, having been an Immortal for just over ten thousand years indeed, which was not very long.

He nodded slightly, “Yes, that’s right. What’s your point?”

Contempt flickered in Li Cheng’s eyes, “I thought you were something formidable. A recent Immortal, and you dared to pursue me?”

The old man was taken aback, then immediately thought that there must be powerful figures from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect lying in ambush nearby, or else where would Li Cheng get the confidence to say such a thing?

He quickly released his Immortal Sense, but he couldn’t detect any powerful beings concealed in the shadows.

Under these circumstances, either Li Cheng was feigning composure, or the being hiding in the shadows was of far greater strength than him, making them undetectable to him.

For a moment, the old man became worried. If there really was a powerful being far stronger than himself hidden in the darkness, then that would be disastrous!

Given Li Cheng’s mastery of the Alchemy Dao, knowing powerful Immortals was quite normal.

Li Cheng saw the old man’s struggle and became even more certain of his own guess!

‘Indeed, this old man is simply at the early stages of the Heavenly Immortal realm, just bluffing!’ Li Cheng thought to himself.

“Master, I want… the Immortal Infant!” The muddled voice of the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod appeared in Li Cheng’s mind again.

Li Cheng was puzzled, what would a tripod want with someone’s Immortal Infant?

Was it to absorb Immortal Yuan in order to advance to an Immortal Artifact?

But within the Lower World, bound by the Order of Heaven and Earth, an Immortal Artifact could not be born, at best it could become an exquisite half-Immortal Artifact, which would always fall short of becoming a true Immortal Artifact.

Only in the Immortal World could it become a genuine Immortal Artifact.

What Immortal Artifact from the Lower World wasn’t brought down from the Immortal World?

“I wonder which senior is present? 1 am conducting Taoist Mysterious Sect’s business, please show yourself!” the old man’s voice echoed forth.

Li Cheng’s eyebrows twitched imperceptibly. Did this guy think he had backup?

What a great opportunity!

Seeing the old man distracted and scanning the surroundings, Li Cheng didn’t hesitate to strike!

A distance of just a few miles, Li Cheng closed it in an instant, launching a punch toward the old man’s head.

Even though the old man was distracted, his reaction was extremely quick. He tilted his head slightly and dodged Li Cheng’s attack, and instead reached to grasp Li Cheng’s wrist.

Li Cheng turned his fist into a palm and struck fiercely. The old man, utterly unconcerned, met it with a palm of his own. At once, a tremendous surge of power emanated from where their palms met, sending both of them reeling backwards.

The old man’s brow furrowed as he exclaimed, “Just Complete in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, how could you be so strong?”

This strike sent him staggering back more than a dozen steps before he could steady himself, whereas Li Cheng was only pushed back a single step!

He knew very well that if it weren’t for his advantage of possessing Immortal Yuan Power, that punch might have killed him!

“Indeed, an old geezer with no shame, your strength is just as it appeared, you fooled me claiming to be at the Complete stage of a Heavenly Immortal!” Li Cheng inwardly muttered.

Quietly making his estimations, Li Cheng felt that this man’s strength was comparable to that of a Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal!

He could be killed!
