Chapter 369: Chapter 306 Mansion Venerable’s Personal Visit_1

I never expected Emperor Xuankong to actually consider engaging a princess, and to let Li Cheng choose at that.

This is a being so transcendent as to be in the Divine Emperor Realm, how could this be?

Li Cheng declined without hesitation, but diplomatically.

“Discuss it in the future?” Emperor Xuankong pondered, apparently considering something.

Li Cheng had a full head of black lines, don’t get any strange ideas!

He coughed lightly and Li Cheng added, “Your Majesty, with my current level of cultivation, living from day to day, if I truly were to find a companion, how would I have the capacity to protect her? So let’s talk about it after my cultivation is higher, shall we?”

Emperor Xuankong smiled, “I have a daughter in the Divine King Realm, she can protect you!”

Is this some kind of… good fortune?

No way, wouldn’t that make me a kept man?

“Just kidding, let’s talk about it in the future!”

Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. If Emperor Xuankong had forcibly betrothed a princess from the Divine King Realm to him, that would really take his breath away.

After leaving the palace, Li Cheng went straight to the stands at the edge of the square, ready to get a good view of the various competitions.

“Amitabha! It seems the monk has arrived late!”

Just as he had taken his seat, the young man beside him sent a telepathic message.

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, sizing up the young man, “Crown Prince, is this your true appearance? Or is it an illusion?”

The young man’s expression stiffened, then he coughed dryly, “Amitabha, the flesh is but a vessel, Donor, do not be attached to it.”

“Donor, where is that person on the imperial throne? Be careful not to let that Donor run into this poor monk.”

Li Cheng smiled, still curious whether this young-looking Monk Wumo was showing his true appearance, but decided not to ask further, saying, “Rest assured, His Majesty is up there.”

Monk Wumo looked up towards Emperor Xuankong’s palace, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

Li Cheng couldn’t stop the smile on his face, thinking of Kong Linfeng’s desire to beat up Monk Wumo every day; indeed, the thought was irresistibly amusing.

Moreover, judging by Monk Wumo’s demeanor, he seemed to dread Kong Linfeng terribly, probably getting thrashed every time they met.

Nevertheless, the fact that the guy took the risk of getting thrashed to come and see his own competition was quite touching, even though he was late.

After watching for a while, Li Cheng said, “This Hundred Dynasties Meeting isn’t that interesting, Divine Monk, how about we find a quiet place to grill some fish?”

“Well said! Well said, what the Donor suggests is very good!”

Moments later, the two left the square and came to a restaurant in the Inner City.

This restaurant didn’t look big on the surface, but each room had been expanded by spatial means. Upon entering a room, there was a space of a thousand miles.

The two picked a mountain and water room, this space of a thousand miles had towering peaks; at the foot of the mountains were clear rivers and lakes.

With a thought from Li Cheng, many Snow Spirit Fish flew out of the lake in Blunt Empty Residence.

These Snow Spirit Fish had lived for a thousand years, the longest being no more than three feet, seemingly only able to grow this big, but they had propagated countless offspring, to the point where they could never be eaten up completely.

Moments later, the two began feasting.

After eating for a long time, Monk Wumo belched and asked, “Donor, when does the third round start?”

“I was first in all three Pill Artifact Array tests, so I don’t need to participate in the third round. It is because of this that I’ll be facing quite some trouble.”

Monk Wumo wiped his mouth, thought for a few seconds, “Amitabha! First in all three? With every Demon-suppressing Envoy of the various Divine Dynasties in action, it seems to be because of the Donor!”

Li Cheng nodded, “The Divine Monk indeed has great wisdom!”

He had only mentioned being first in all three, and Monk Wumo had immediately guessed the implication.

After a pause, Li Cheng took out a storage ring, “Last time, Divine Monk, you yielded that Divine Vein, and I have been grateful ever since. I’ve managed to get some Divine Monarch Pills and Divine King Pills. Divine Monk, cultivate diligently, as there will undoubtedly be turmoil ahead.”

Monk Wumo glanced at the storage ring, and without any false modesty, graciously accepted, “Good indeed, good indeed, this poor monk does hope for the Demon Race to move in large numbers, so that they may be led to enlightenment.”

Li Cheng smiled, not inviting him into Blunt Empty Residence; after all, there were many secrets contained within, and it wasn’t that he didn’t trust Monk Wumo, but rather that he wasn’t quite prepared yet.

After satiating their hunger and thirst, Monk Wumo took a Divine Monarch Pill and began refining it.

Li Cheng also prepared to continue his cultivation by utilizing the Four Spirits Essence and Blood to refine the Demon Suppressing Four Spirits Seal. He had previously cultivated the Divine Dragon Seal, but now with the Azure Dragon Essence Blood, it was time for a change.

Ten premium Divine Veins had been placed in Blunt Empty Residence, and Ao Jiugai was refining them.

Once he finished refining them, there might well be a qualitative change.

Three months later, while Monk Wumo was still cultivating, Li Cheng left the room. He took care of paying for a year’s room rent on the way out and headed towards the square.

The second round would be concluding today; the Mansion Venerable from Land Puppet Mansion should be arriving shortly.

Upon arriving at the square, to his surprise, the Golden Armored Guard was already waiting beside the square. As soon as he saw Li Cheng, he approached respectfully, “Master Li, His Majesty requests your presence!”

Could it be that Mansion Venerable had already arrived?

That was a Divine Venerable; if he were made to wait for Li Cheng, that certainly wouldn’t bode well; aside from anything else, it would definitely tarnish the first impression.

Yet Li Cheng felt it wasn’t appropriate to ask the Golden Armored Guard, since realistically, the fewer people who knew about Mansion Venerable’s arrival, the better.

Under the guidance of the Golden Armored Guard, Li Cheng arrived at the same imperial garden as before.

Emperor Xuankong was not here, only a court lady.

Li Cheng didn’t know if the Xuankong Divine Dynasty had eunuchs; presumably, there were none, as even the weakest beings in the palace were True Gods, and for Deities, any bodily injury could easily be healed.

“Master Li, His Majesty has ordered for you to stay in the Bamboo Garden,” the court lady approached and gave a formal greeting.

Li Cheng let out a breath of relief; Mansion Venerable hadn’t yet arrived, and Emperor Xuankong calling for him seemed to be to make preparations to welcome the guest in advance.

Guided by the court lady, Li Cheng arrived at the Bamboo Garden, “His Majesty mentioned, Master Li, that any of your needs can be fulfilled. May I ask, sir, do you need anything…?”
