Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend!-Chapter 420 - 331: The Divine Emperor’s Divine Origin_2
The mole looked at the Divine Origin in Li Cheng's hand, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "Boss, you know my aptitude. I will never step into the Divine Emperor Realm in my lifetime, let alone Divine Venerable or Divine Emperor, and this Divine Origin matches my attribute..."
Li Cheng cut off the mole's words, "Are you sure?"
The mole's intention was clear—it wanted to refine this piece of Divine Origin into its body, so that one day it could become a Divine Emperor. Even if it would only be a Pseudo Divine Emperor, losing the possibility of pursuing higher realms, it would still be better than not becoming a Divine Emperor at all.
It was once just a variant demon beast, and it became a Divine Beast only because of Li Cheng's assistance and the merging of the bloodline of the God-devouring Rat.
But indeed, its aptitude was such that even becoming a Divine Emperor was difficult.
It was not like the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle that had endless possibilities.
"Boss, the rat makes sense. Why not help it out?" the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle pondered and then spoke up.
The mole nodded firmly, "Boss, you are already a Divine Emperor, while I, in my lifetime, will at most be a Divine Emperor. I don't want to be unable to help you in the future."
Li Cheng stroked his chin, "I have a special pill recipe in my hands for refining others' aptitude into a Divine Pill. It works the same on beast-types; you can refine other Divine Beasts into pills to help you enhance your aptitude!"
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and the mole both widened their eyes; although their eyes were very small, Li Cheng indeed saw that they were as wide as could be.
"Boss, wouldn't this go against the heaven's harmony?" Although the mole was shocked, after a few seconds of thought, it still spoke up.
Li Cheng nodded, "Indeed, it would go against the heaven's harmony, but what if it were those fourteen demons we refined earlier? Those fourteen Divine Venerables were all from the Monster Race, and to become Divine Venerables, their aptitude was already extraordinary."
"Moreover, the so-called Ten Thousand Gods Mountain must have many more of their kind. If you refine more of them, why worry about aptitude issues?"
The words of Li Cheng excited them both, as if they couldn't wait to run to the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain right then and there to catch those demons.
Seeing this, Li Cheng put away the Divine Origin, "That settles it! The weird existence from Ten Thousand Gods Mountain mingling with the Human Tribe is a great disaster waiting to happen. Once we leave this place, I'll talk to my Uncle Blunt Empty."
Both beasts nodded, and the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said, "Boss, I want in on that too when the time comes. No one would think their aptitude is enough!"
Li Cheng smiled, "Let's explore first!"
The spirits of the two beasts were greatly lifted, especially the mole, which started sensing with all its might.
"Don't worry, boss, I already know the aura of the Divine Origin, watch me!"
Li Cheng nodded. The mole, having the bloodline and Divine Skills of the God-devouring Rat, including the ability to hunt for treasures, would definitely become terrifyingly powerful if it enhanced its aptitude and became a true Divine Emperor, scaring off other powerhouses in the same realm.
Of course, that would probably happen billions of years later.
Li Cheng did not wish to stunt its growth by using the Divine Origin.
This time, Li Cheng and the mole stood on the back of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, with the mole giving directions and the Divine Turtle responsible for speeding along the way.
Thinking of that kind of Divine Pill that could enhance aptitude, why would the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle have any complaints?
Under the direction of the mole, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle flew tens of millions of miles, finally arriving at a fragmented continent.
"Boss Turtle, let me clarify first, there is no Divine Origin here, but there are other precious treasures!" The mole warned in advance, afraid that the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle would feel deceived.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle nodded nonchalantly, "I know. Divine Emperor powerhouses can enter here. The easy-to-find Divine Origins must have been taken by them long ago. We're just trying our luck."
Li Cheng looked down at the fragmented continent below. This continent was only a thousand miles wide and likewise barren, with some broken weapons sticking out of the ground.
The mole had already burrowed into the ground, and soon brought out a piece of Nine Heaven's Breathing Soil the size of a fingertip.
And as the Nine Heaven's Breathing Soil was extracted, the continent began to break apart again!
"The second piece of Nine Heaven's Breathing Soil, not bad at all. If we can obtain more of this, the Divine World will surely grow faster in the future," Li Cheng said, satisfied as he put it away.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle pointed towards the distance, "That continent isn't small; there should be treasures on it, too!"
In the darkness, the continent the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle pointed at was like a speck of light, at least a million miles away.
Oddly enough, the continent, which looked miniature at the moment, was emitting a faint light.
Li Cheng's eyebrows raised, "That Qi Jingtian kid!"
Found it!
This exceeded Li Cheng's expectations—he hadn't thought he would find Qi Jingtian in the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain so quickly.
The continent emanated a faint luster, exactly due to Qi Jingtian devouring and fusing with it.
Back then, Qi Jingtian went to the Northern Region early, and Er Shou had not seen him and did not know his aura, naturally, they couldn't recognize him.
Moreover, as a Heaven and Earth Great Demon, Qi Jingtian's original form was the continent itself. After fusion, it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Li Cheng, with Er Shou, flew towards Qi Jingtian, and as they got closer, Qi Jingtian seemed to sense something, separating out his avatar and looking astonishedly at the approaching Li Cheng, "Master!"
"You, this boy, having reached the Land Puppet Mansion, didn't come to look for your teacher but instead ran to the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain first?" Li Cheng landed and patted Qi Jingtian's arm.
Qi Jingtian was overjoyed to the point of madness, hastily kneeled, excitedly embracing Li Cheng's legs, "Master! Why have you come?"
Li Cheng patted Qi Jingtian's head, nodding with satisfaction, without responding to Qi Jingtian's question, "Not bad at all, ascending for not long, and already at the mid-stage of the True God Realm—stand up now!"
From Heaven God to True God, without someone providing resources for cultivation, Li Cheng was well aware of the hardship involved.
Qi Jingtian stood up, his three-meter tall figure looking no different from before, only his brows now bore an added calmness and solemnity.
"Master, when I ascended from the Kunlun Northern Region to the Earth Brave Mansion, I immediately rushed over upon learning about Master's whereabouts. Who knew that as I was passing by No Return City, I heard of the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain and felt as if, in the dark, the domain was calling out to me.
I couldn't resist entering," Qi Jingtian said as he scratched his head, still the na?ve laugher in front of Li Cheng, the same youth from years past.
The smile on Li Cheng's face did not diminish as he said, "Many Divine Emperors have perished here, and their God Realm worlds have shattered here. Naturally, it suits you."
"Let's not talk about that for now. Tell me, what experiences did you have in the Northern Region back then?"
Speaking of the past, Qi Jingtian was somewhat embarrassed; he had gone to the Northern Region because it was the territory of the Monster Race, after all, he himself was part of the Monster Race.
From the Southern Domain to the Central Continent, then to the Northern Region—the journey was naturally fraught with difficulties.
After arriving in the Northern Region, his experiences could fill an entire book.
As Qi Jingtian shared his story, unconsciously, half a month had already passed.
Listening to him, Li Cheng and Er Shou nodded continuously; the boy seemed honest and simple, but to their surprise, he had already become a Domain Lord of the Northern Region before the revival of the Kunlun Realm.
After the revival of the Kunlun Realm, Qi Jingtian thrived even more like a fish in water, devouring countless Secret Lands and Ancient Ruins. His cultivation advanced so rapidly that no one could match him, becoming the first among the middle disciples to ascend.
After ascending to Earth Brave Mansion next to Land Puppet Mansion, this boy continued searching for Secret Lands to devour. However, Secret Lands in the Divine World were not that easy to find. His progress was challenging, until Li Cheng's news spread.
Upon hearing news of his master, Qi Jingtian, of course, rushed over as fast as he could, but once he got near No Return City, he was attracted by the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain, neglecting his master and heading here first.
"So you mean to say, you've only been in the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain for about a month, and in such a short period, your cultivation ascended from the initial stage of the Heaven God Realm to the mid-stage of the True God Realm?"
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was somewhat bewildered and asked incredulously.
The Mole was also full of amazement; such a rate of progression was simply outrageous!
As members of the Monster Race themselves, when had they ever heard of such monstrous talent?
Qi Jingtian laughed naively, scratching his head and said, "By merging with a fragment of the continent that's thousands of miles across, my cultivation started to rise. Once I fully merge with the land beneath my feet, I should be able to step into the peak of the True God Realm."
Er Shou felt an urge to vomit blood—they had been refining Divine Pills given by Li Cheng and had been in the Blunt Empty Residence for hundreds of years, yet only reached the peak of the True God Realm!
These monsters—a monster amongst monsters!
Li Cheng smiled, "These are remnants left by Divine Emperor level powers, containing Divine Power, essence of the Law, and Law aura—all extremely potent, so naturally, after merging, your cultivation wouldn't be slow in improving."
Li Cheng was very gratified; as a rare Heaven and Earth Great Demon, this was his advantage.
With such perfect subjects for fusion, how could his cultivation not improve quickly?
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle clicked its tongue, "You mentioned feeling something calling out to you in the dark—are these fragments of the continent what you felt?"
Qi Jingtian's expression became solemn as he shook his head, his gaze shifting toward the distance, "It shouldn't be that. It's still very far away, and now that Master has arrived, shall we go check it out together?"
