Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Where’s the Promised Trap Array? _1
Translator: 549690339
Li Cheng hadn’t expected that even after Feng Wanli had made an oath to the heavens, he would still dare to violate it!
Betraying a heavenly oath would surely lead to complete annihilation!
Li Cheng stared intently at Feng Wanli. Was he willing to pay the price of annihilation just to take him down with him?
But Feng Wanli was no match for him. To kill him, he would either need a powerful weapon or to self-detonate his Immortal Infant!
Feng Wanli looked confused and asked, “How did I violate it?”
“You said the world would eventually have one less alchemy prodigy. Isn’t that the same as wanting to kill me?” Li Cheng said indifferently, his majestic aura emerging, with countless array patterns whirling around him.
Feng Wanli was startled and quickly backed away. “Don’t act rashly. I mean you no harm!”
He had already experienced Li Cheng’s strength. Only by pleading desperately had he managed to escape, and he certainly did not want a repeat of that situation.
“What I meant was… 1 thought you had gone insane…” Feng Wanli hastily explained.
Li Cheng frowned. “You’re the one who has gone insane, your whole family has gone insane!”
Feng Wanli’s facial muscles twitched. “You’re talking to thin air…”
Li Cheng was taken aback and looked suspiciously at Qi Jingtian. Hadn’t he revealed himself? Why couldn’t Feng Wanli see him?
Qi Jingtian cleared his throat. “Master, during the ceremony to become your disciple, didn’t you take a strand of my soul seal? So even if I don’t reveal myself, you can still see me.”
Li Cheng was puzzled in his heart. When had he ever taken it?
Looking toward his sea of knowledge, Li Cheng was astonished to find that it was indeed there!
Yun Tianqiong, Ling Xi, Qi Jingtian — a strand of each of their soul seals was in his sea of knowledge!
He had not taken them himself. Could it have been the system’s doing?
It had to be!
With this strand of soul seal, Li Cheng could clearly sense the state of all three. “I forgot!” Li Cheng coughed and said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Feng Wanli stared in shock. Although he couldn’t see Qi Jingtian, he wasn’t deaf and had of course heard Qi Jingtian’s voice.
“Your disciple? One can hear him but not see him—what a terrifying ability to hide!” Feng Wanli exclaimed.
He was at the Complete stage of a Heavenly Immortal, yet he could not sense the presence of the other at all, which was truly shocking.
Keep in mind, this was just Li Cheng’s disciple, not some great power from the Immortal World.
Qi Jingtian showed his form without another word. He could achieve perfect concealment here, but once out of the Secret Land, it wouldn’t be so perfect.
Because this was where his true body was located.
“What a robust body!” Upon seeing Qi Jingtian, Feng Wanli exclaimed again.
That three-meter-tall, tower-like figure exerted a tremendous pressure on him. Yet, his cultivation was only at the Golden Core Stage, which left Feng Wanli astounded.
“Enough, ignore him. Let’s go break through the formation!” Li Cheng said.
Without any apparent action from Qi Jingtian, a vortex swiftly appeared in the sky, with light circulating in its center.
“Just go through it!” Qi Jingtian said.
Seeing this, Feng Wanli’s eyes betrayed a hint of suspicion. Was this opened by Li Cheng’s disciple?
With such cultivation, yet able to open the exit of the Secret Land, could it be… Raising an eyebrow, Feng Wanli realized he had made a remarkable discovery!
‘This Secret Land is under the control of Li Cheng’s disciple!’ Feng Wanli thought to himself.
Though surprised, he didn’t slow down and followed Li Cheng through the vortex.
The next moment, the three appeared in a thick fog.
Li Cheng, with array patterns dancing around him, sensed their surroundings through the patterns and nodded slightly, “Fortunately, this Natural Array is just a Trap Array. If it were a Killing Formation, it would have been troublesome.”
Feng Wanli swept the area with his Immortal Sense, “The rules here are very active, it must be caused by a Formation. In this situation, breaking the Formation won’t be easy, I’ll try to forcefully break it with brute strength!”
Li Cheng glanced at Feng Wanli, fully aware that this fellow had been repeatedly thwarted and was eager to prove himself, intent on demonstrating that he, as an Immortal, was not just for show.
“Then give it a try!” Li Cheng said offhandedly.
Feng Wanli nodded, Immortal Yuan surged within his palm, and he ferociously struck out in front of him, “Five Xiao Immortal Thunder!”
Boom!
Five purple thunders roared out, entwining like coiling dragons, unstoppable in their advance, vaporizing mists and scorching the ground black wherever they passed.
Li Cheng and Qi Jingtian’s hairs stood on end, but they saw that the attack vanished in a flash.
Sensing something, Li Cheng quickly pulled Qi Jingtian and diagonally flew away, distancing themselves from Feng Wanli.
The next instant, the Five Xiao Immortal Thunder reappeared behind Feng Wanli, struck him in a flash, the thunder exploded, sending him stumbling forward!
As the thunder gradually dissipated, Feng Wanli staggered to his feet, his body steaming, his clothes tattered and his hair a disheveled mess.
“Is this… this is a Trap Array?” Feng Wanli was bewildered.
What happened to the Trap Array?
Why had his own attack turned back on him?
Li Cheng, struggling to hide his amusement, nodded with great certainty, “Indeed it’s a Trap Array, your attack was trapped and running amok inside it, of course it’s a Trap Array!”
“There’s some logic to that!” Feng Wanli smoothed his hair.
Beneath the calm exterior, there was definitely a bitter heart.
“The attack’s strength isn’t enough, why don’t you try with all your might?” Li Cheng added.
Feng Wanli shook his head resolutely without hesitation, ‘My attack can’t compare to yours. It’s better if you do it, with one force that breaks ten thousand laws, only you can succeed!”
After saying this, Feng Wanli, with a sorrowful stride, turned around and walked away, “I’ll look around.”
Li Cheng’s mouth curled slightly, his gaze sharpening as he looked around. The Formation was stronger than he had anticipated, and even a Heavenly Immortal couldn’t break it open with force.
So much the better!
The stronger it was, the greater the reward after breaking it!
Without hesitation, Li Cheng sat down cross-legged, attuning to the Array Patterns, “Enlightenment!”
“Eh? Unity of Heaven and Man!”
Feng Wanli, who was nearby, quickly turned around upon sensing this. He could feel Li Cheng’s aura merging with heaven and earth, entering an Enlightenment state!
“Did any of my words guide him? To think it led him into an Enlightenment state!” Feng Wanli secretly pondered.
Enlightenment, that’s the greatest opportunity for a cultivator; those with high comprehension could be enlightened by a casual remark from someone else, pushed into the state of Enlightenment.
But thinking it over, Feng Wanli couldn’t figure out which of his comments had provided the guidance, even doubting whether it was his words that triggered it at all.
Doubting was correct, of course not!
Having used one opportunity for Enlightenment, with eighteen left, according to Li Cheng’s estimation, it would take one or two tries to break this Natural Array.
Qi Jingtian, sitting nearby, also sensed Li Cheng entering an Enlightenment state, his eyes filled with deep surprise, and he sat down on the ground. Entering Enlightenment just like that?
Thinking, Qi Jingtian mimicked Li Cheng, sitting down on the ground with a flop.
But to no avail!
Suddenly, Qi Jingtian sensed a strange change in the surrounding heaven and earth!
This discovery piqued his curiosity and he closed his eyes, finely attuning to it.
Upon closer sense, Qi Jingtian’s Spiritual Sense ‘saw’ clearly as countless Array Patterns swarmed in from all directions, entwining around Li Cheng!
Being a great demon of heaven and earth, he was naturally highly sensitive to its sensations. At that moment, he was so fascinated by the sight that his thoughts seemed to be drawn, drifting to surround Li Cheng, dancing with those Array Patterns.
Following that, the remnants of Sword Dao and Fist Path rules hidden within the Formation, as if they were being pulled, left the Secret Land one after another, flowing toward Li Cheng!
