Chapter 154: Discovering Abnormalities

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ansheng smacked his lips and said, “It seems that Immortal King is quite weak.”

Zhong Li, however, replied, “It’s not that the Immortal King is too weak, but that the Alien Cultivator Celestial Immortal is too strong! From what I’ve gathered through my Master, that mysterious Celestial Immortal not only practices both martial and magical techniques but also his spells are not restricted by the laws of heaven and earth. Even if you have the means to isolate all rules, you still cannot do anything against him!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ansheng was taken aback.

This… this method sounds so familiar, it resembles his Master Elder Ji’s path of law cultivation!

Spells not restricted by the laws of heaven and earth.

Isn’t that something achievable only by opening the Law Palace?

“Could it be that coincidental? How could the Immortal Realm be so small…”

Chen Ansheng muttered to himself.

Then he asked, “Senior Sister, do you know when this incident happened?”

Zhong Li thought for a moment and said, “My sect has occupied its current territory for less than six thousand years, so it probably happened around six thousand years ago.”

Chen Ansheng silently calculated in his mind; one hour in the Immortal Realm equals one day in the lower realm. By this calculation, it would be about seventy thousand years in the lower realm.

This realization sent a shiver down Chen Ansheng’s spine; the timeline matches up perfectly!

“So, that sleeping Immortal King may very well be my Master’s archenemy! This is truly absurdly coincidental, or could it be what people refer to as ‘karmic ties’?”

Ever since obtaining the Cross-Boundary Stone, Chen Ansheng felt his life was off-kilter.

Moreover, at the time, the Wang Family’s steward checked the Cross-Boundary Stone and found no abnormalities, could it be that this Cross-Boundary Stone was specifically arranged by the heavens for him?

Could this series of good fortune and opportunities have come from that?

“Hey, idiot, why are you dazed?”

“Nothing.”

Zhong Li scoffed, “You must be daydreaming about obtaining that kind of divine power, huh?”

Chen Ansheng secretly smiled, thinking that he doesn’t need to daydream; he’ll actually be able to obtain it in the future. Is she angry?

“Ha ha, only you would be so naive.” Chen Ansheng retorted, then shifted the topic, “Senior Sister, I’ve decided to help you with this to the best of my ability. Once it’s done, how will you thank me?”

Zhong Li bared her teeth, saying, “The moment your tail perks up, I’ll know what you’re after. Save it; you can help if you want, but don’t expect to take advantage of me.”

Chen Ansheng’s face flushed red, “What are you thinking? I’m a serious person! How about this: given our relationship, I won’t ask for much; just teach me your transformation technique, how about it?”

Zhong Li smiled, “Are you sure?”

“Mm.” Chen Ansheng nodded.

Transformation techniques are incredibly powerful, allowing one to change their appearance and aura at will, truly a tool for all sorts of mischief.

“But my technique can only change into a female form. I’m afraid that you, this repressed little lech, might even take advantage of your own body. Hehehe.” Zhong Li said as she couldn’t help but laugh.

!!!

Chen Ansheng almost exploded.

This woman can be so cruel with her words; I just hugged you, and now I’m a little lech?

Ugh!

But then he thought about it; changing into a female form could indeed bring lots of inconveniences, so maybe it’s better to pass.

“I really can’t stand someone like you with such a sweet mouth.” Chen Ansheng glared at her, then said, “So tell me, what benefits will you give me?”

Zhong Li disdainfully replied, “Clearly, you’re relying on me to save your life and still have the audacity to ask for benefits?”

Chen Ansheng countered, “Don’t speak so harshly; who knows, there might come a time when you need to ask me for something.”

Zhong Li frowned slightly. This guy seems to have somehow acquired plenty of Alien Immortal spiritual liquid; when the time comes, she might indeed have to ask him for some.

If she made things too rigid now, knowing that stubborn idiot, he would definitely make things difficult for her later, demanding all sorts of strange and shameless requests.

After a moment of thought, Zhong Li said, “How about I teach you a method of Alien Immortal cultivation called ‘Void Great Hand Seal’? Once mastered, you can kill enemies from a thousand miles away.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ansheng quickly checked the metal plate for any similar techniques and found none.

“Alright, then I’ll reluctantly agree.” Chen Ansheng nodded and asked, “Is it a magical technique or a martial one?”

“In this Alien World, most cultivation focuses on magical techniques, and there are very few martial cultivation techniques.” Zhong Li responded.

Chen Ansheng raised an eyebrow, “So it’s a magical technique, don’t you know that you can’t practice both martial and magical arts together?”

“You idiot.” Zhong Li shot him an exasperated glance, “This is an Alien World; you have no celestial power, so what martial arts can you practice?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Chen Ansheng understood that to cultivate Alien magical techniques, he needed to satisfy at least one of three conditions: either be in an Alien World, change his celestial form, or open a Law Palace.

Now that he was in an Alien World, he could totally cultivate Alien magical techniques.

Actually, Chen Ansheng had over a hundred Alien cultivation techniques himself, but he always felt unsatisfied unless he squeezed something out of the Demoness.

Later, Zhong Li transmitted the technique to Chen Ansheng.

“Alright, let’s not waste time; let’s start cultivating. By the way, share some spiritual liquid with me; I’m worried that I’ll advance too quickly and run out of spiritual liquid.” Zhong Li said nonchalantly.

“I knew you wouldn’t be willing to miss out on any benefits.” Chen Ansheng rolled his eyes and took out some Alien Immortal spiritual liquid for her, since it wasn’t worth much anyway.

Zhong Li didn’t waste any more words with Chen Ansheng and directly started to cultivate after focusing her mind.

Chen Ansheng was curious to see if his cultivation speed in the Alien World could match up to that of the Demoness.

……

In the outside world, three days had already passed.

Elder Dong was sitting cross-legged on the brown earth, surrounded by a swirling haze of gray-black mist.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped wide open as if sensing something unusual.

“Lin Xian, come here.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the space before Elder Dong twisted, and Lin Xian’s figure stepped out.

“Master, you urgently summoned your disciple; what is your command?”

As soon as Lin Xian landed, he noticed that his Master’s expression was off, cold and eerie.

“The Fusion Body formation is not functioning properly; it must be that this batch of newly recruited individuals has a problem!”

The so-called Fusion Body formation had to control three hundred and ninety-nine alien soul cultivators, supplying them with soul power to operate perfectly.

Missing even one would have an impact.

Hearing this, Lin Xian frowned, “Is it possible that the last kid I captured is the problem?”

“Not necessarily.”

Elder Dong stood up, gazing at the mass of chrysalis crystals.

“You will guard my physical form here while I use spiritual projection to check what’s going on.”

Lin Xian was slightly startled; this method of spiritual projection was incredibly risky, especially in this realm of chaotic laws where a careless move could lead to the celestial soul being invaded by laws, risking death.

“Master, the method of spiritual projection is too dangerous; I’m worried for your safety. Why don’t I use the Puppetry technique to send some puppets in?”

Lin Xian suggested.

Elder Dong contemplated for a moment and nodded, “That works. If any abnormalities are found, I can still deal with them later.”
