Chapter 429: Chapter 336 Extreme Heaven Holy Body_1
Calls of "Junior Uncle" echoed throughout Book Mountain, filled with delight.
Though Li Cheng did not recognize them, he greeted them with a smile and a nod.
From their reactions, it was apparent that his status within the Confucian Sect must have been quite reputable before he split his Divine Soul.
Yet Li Cheng was somewhat puzzled, as according to what he heard from them, he had disappeared ten thousand years ago, which must have been when he split his Divine Soul. However, his cultivation thus far had not even reached a thousand years.
Could this gap of over nine thousand years be from his journey through time?
Contemplating, Li Cheng shook his head and smiled. Perhaps after completing his journey on Book Mountain he might be able to break the seal, and naturally, he would know everything then.
Feeling the pressure on his body, Li Cheng closed his eyes slightly, "Enlightenment!"
Upon achieving enlightenment again, Li Cheng climbed the steps with his eyes closed, understanding a hundred strands of Confucianism Law with each step.
"Junior Uncle has achieved enlightenment!" Noting that Li Cheng seemed to become one with heaven and earth, the cultivators around were astonished.
"Hasn't Junior Uncle already reached the pinnacle of Confucianism Law? Why does it look like he's comprehending Confucianism Law?" someone questioned doubtfully.
Having perfected the Law, one should have reached the zenith of heaven and earth, and there should be nothing new to comprehend. Yet how to explain the scene before them?
"He must be comprehending another Law. I remember the Confucius Ancestor once said that Junior Uncle must achieve completeness in nine kinds of Laws before he can break through," another guessed.
This seemed no secret at all.
While in a state of enlightenment, Li Cheng focused solely on understanding the Confucianism Path without being aware of the discussions around him. With Haoran Justice Air accompanying him, he advanced step by step across Book Mountain.
As days went by, the news of Junior Uncle's enlightenment on Book Mountain spread far and wide, attracting more and more Confucian Cultivators.
They came either to witness Junior Uncle's grace, to verify the enlightenment for themselves, or to gain inspirations from Junior Uncle's enlightenment.
Gradually, a large group of people followed a hundred meters behind Li Cheng.
But as they traveled further, fewer and fewer were able to keep up, for one needed to master a vast amount of Confucianism Law to continue onward.
After a year, no one else remained behind him.
Finally, Li Cheng felt a lightness throughout his body as if he had shed some worldly constraints and woke from his enlightenment!
At the same time, Haoran Justice Air surged between heaven and earth, and the stony books of the entire Book Mountain sprouted white lotuses!
"Earth Gushing White Lotus, Junior Brother has achieved completeness again!" At the end of Book Mountain, Light Destroying Heaven Venerable laughed heartily.
"Last time, we had the Master to conceal the secrets of fate. Now, with Master in seclusion, we are unable to cover it up; it seems we will alarm the entire Divine Realm again!" Hua Tianji remarked.
"What does it matter? Junior Brother's ascent to the Divine Venerable Realm already shook the Divine Realm two years ago; we care little for startling it again," Light Destroying Heaven Venerable chuckled.
Hua Tianji took out a brush and, following the celestial veins, painted a few strokes, his face gradually revealing a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?" Noting Hua Tianji's odd behavior, Light Destroying Heaven Venerable inquired.
Hua Tianji shook his head, "I've scrutinized the fate, and found that this time, the Evil Demons will not stir; it's illogical!"
"With Junior Brother within the Confucian Sect, the Evil Demons would be ineffective even if they tried. Perhaps because of this, they've decided not to make a move," Light Destroying Heaven Venerable pondered.
As they spoke, the resounding Haoran Justice Air caused a resonance with heaven and earth, mirroring the previous occasion when he stepped into the Divine Venerable Realm, and the sky was filled with auspicious clouds that spread across the Divine Realm.
At this moment, the Divine Realm seemed to transform into a world of Haoran Justice Air, suppressing other auras for the time being.
All the strong practitioners in the God Realm knew that someone had perfected the Confucianism Law!
Ascending to the Divine Venerable Realm might bring about a celestial celebration, just like completing any Law could!
The celestial celebration from ascending to the Divine Venerable Realm might not always become a Heaven and Earth Baptism, but one triggered by completing a Law certainly would!
Sure enough, before long, a waterfall-like column of light descended from the sky, enshrouding Li Cheng!
Li Cheng seized the moment, using the baptism's power to surge towards the seal within his Divine Soul!
Now with a strengthened Divine Soul, his movement scattered the seal in an instant, as vast memories flooded forth!
While running the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to absorb the power of the Heaven and Earth Baptism, Li Cheng integrated the memories emerging deep within his soul, his expression growing solemn.
Eventually, the celestial phenomenon faded. Li Cheng didn't even notice that he had entered the late phase of the Divine Venerable Realm and remained with a grave expression.
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable and Hua Tianji walked side by side toward him, not disturbing Li Cheng, quietly waiting.
At last, Li Cheng took a deep breath and looked at the two, "Fifth Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, I have returned!"
Light Destroying Heaven Venerable and Hua Tianji shared a smile; Hua Tianji said, "You've returned much earlier than expected!"
Li Cheng looked towards the depths of the Confucian Sect, "Has my father truly entered his terminal seclusion?"
The Confucius Ancestor was indeed his father!
As he spoke, Li Cheng took out the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns, unrolled it with a wave of his hand, and with a flick of his finger, a drop of Essence Blood fell onto the painting.
In the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns, starting from the center, the lanterns suddenly glimmered more brilliantly, spreading throughout the entire painting. As they spread, the white lotuses blooming on Book Mountain collectively flew into the painting.
The presence emitted by the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns grew stronger and stronger. Li Cheng looked again towards the depths of the Confucian Sect but received no response.
It appeared that his father had indeed entered terminal seclusion.
But through the Picture of Thousands Homes Lanterns, Li Cheng sensed that it was not his father's true body that had entered seclusion, but just an avatar.
"It seems you've discerned it; indeed, the Master's true body isn't here," Hua Tianji said.
