Yun Tianqiong and his two companions looked at the empty mountaintop, and Qi Jingtian said, “The Master plans to go out for a month or two, what does he intend to do?”

“There won’t be any trouble, right?” Ling Xi asked with some concern.

Yun Tianqiong shook his head, “In recent times, the number of powers and mighty ones who have come to visit the Master has been too many. Perhaps the Master is going out to find some reprieve!”

It’s not good to always refuse visitors, which might be the very reason the Master has left.

In the Red Flame Mountain Range, this was already Li Cheng’s third visit here. Looking at the canyon before him, Li Cheng felt a sense of reflection. If he had had his present strength back then, he could easily have retained that remnant soul.

With a thought, the superior-grade spiritual longsword that was nurtured within his Dantian appeared before Li Cheng.

Last time, Li Cheng fought that remnant soul with this very sword, and now he planned to refine it, naturally it needed an upgrade.

This was a gift from the Master before he left, who had told Li Cheng to name it. However, Li Cheng hadn’t, and he rarely used it, always keeping it nurtured within his Dantian.

The sword had sharp points at both ends, making it extremely agile for sword flying and combat, but for the current Li Cheng, its grade was a bit low.

Take the battle at the Artifact Sect, for example, he didn’t dare to use it, fearing it would be damaged by an Immortal Artifact.

If he could transform it into an Immortal Artifact, of course there would no longer be that worry.

However, transforming it into an Immortal Artifact required the addition of many Immortal Materials, and Li Cheng wasn’t completely confident. On the other hand, he was absolutely certain of transforming it into a semi-Immortal Artifact.

But according to the trial just now, it would take at least half a day to refine a single Immortal Material, and even if he only refined three to five pieces, plus the transformation, it’s estimated to take nearly ten days to complete, which was too slow.

Therefore, he decided to first seek Enlightenment. With more understanding of the Rule of Fire, refining materials would become quicker.

Settling in the canyon, Li Cheng relaxed his mind and body, walking on the scorching ground, feeling the heat waves that filled the gorge.

After traveling for quite some time, Li Cheng laid down an eighth-grade protective Formation and a Concealing Formation beneath the sheer cliff and began his Enlightenment.

He now had thirty-nine chances for Enlightenment, enough to elevate many Laws!

“Enlightenment!”

As the enlightenment began, in this Red Flame Domain, the comprehension of the Rule of Fire was clearly much faster than inside the sect.

With the Rule of Fire as the focus, the other Laws couldn’t lag behind either, so Li Cheng began his retreat.

As time passed, more than a month flashed by in the blink of an eye for a Cultivator.

In the current Kunlun Southern Region, the story of the three figures and a tripod causing an uproar at the Artifact Sect was still a topic of conversation everywhere.

The name Li Cheng had at one time surpassed the previously spread fame of the Eighteenth Elder.

Back then, everyone in the Southern Domain knew of the Eighteenth Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect as being unparalleled in Alchemy Dao and outstanding in Formation, but now, they recognized Li Cheng as unparalleled in combat!

In any case, the Eighteenth Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Li Cheng, had become a big figure that all Cultivators now recognized!

At the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, there was an endless stream of visitors, and even many representatives from various powers had the cheek to take up long-term residence.

For that reason, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had again begun the establishment of a dozen more peaks in the outer area.

The Sixth Elder looked haggard. As a seventh-grade Array Master of the sect, these times had been exhausting for him!

Not just physically exhausting, but mentally draining as well.

He had barely finished arranging the Formations around the newly established mountains with his disciples from the Sixth Peak, when Mu Xingzhi came to visit!

Upon seeing Mu Xingzhi, the Sixth Elder’s first thought was to hide!

But there was no escape!

“Sixth Elder, what did that shiver in your body mean when you saw me just now?” Mu Xingzhi approached, smiling and speaking.

The Sixth Elder turned his head to the side, wondering why he felt the urge to tremble. He had thought about fleeing, but then decided against it, causing him to shudder slightly.

“Sixth Elder, 1 know you’ve been tired these days, so, I’ve brought you an Emperor Grade Rising Yuan Pill!” Wood Xingzhi seemed to have anticipated the reaction of the Sixth Elder and maintained a smile.

A flash of joy crossed the eyes of the Sixth Elder as he reached out his hand, “Then bring it on!”

“Hold on, just look. In this period, countless young talents have flocked to our sect, all hoping to join our ranks…”

The Sixth Elder looked helplessly at Wood Xingzhi, “Sect Master, just get to the point. How many more peaks’ formations do you need me to set up?”

Wood Xingzhi raised both hands, laughed, and said, “Ten peaks!”

The corner of the Sixth Elder’s mouth twitched. At least fifty thousand young geniuses had arrived at the outskirts of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect over these days.

Bai Tieyi had specifically investigated within tens of thousands of miles nearby and still, a large number of people were rushing over, without a doubt, all wanting to join the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!

Steadying his mind, the Sixth Elder said, “Sect Master, I have a suggestion, though it might be immature…”

“If it’s immature, don’t bother. Get ready to set up the formations. We can’t let those future disciples who haven’t even been initiated go unprotected,” Wood Xingzhi said with a smile.

The Sixth Elder coughed, “After my contemplation, this suggestion has matured.”

“Then out with it.”

“Here’s the thing, see, we usually recruit disciples only once a year. But the situation is different now. Shouldn’t we keep up with the times and establish a system for recruiting daily or even monthly?” the Sixth Elder proposed.

Wood Xingzhi looked outside the sect, “How could I have not thought of that? But if we start recruiting monthly, we will have new disciples joining each month. That’s not convenient for the management of the Outer Door peaks!” The Sixth Elder hurriedly shook his head, “That’s a problem for the peak leaders and elders of the Outer Door to consider. If they can’t manage it, we’ll replace them. We’re not short on people. This would be a good way to test their abilities!”

Wood Xingzhi looked at the Sixth Elder seriously, “To make your own life easier, you’re willing to toss such a big hot potato to the peak leaders and elders of the Outer Door. Is that appropriate?”

“It’s time to bring out talents. What’s bad about that?” the Sixth Elder retorted.

Wood Xingzhi smiled playfully, “Alright, your idea’s not bad. I’ll take care of it right away!”

Having said that, Wood Xingzhi disappeared on the spot.

“Where’s my Emperor Grade Rising Yuan Pill?” the Sixth Elder chased after him, but where was Wood Xingzhi’s figure to be seen?

However, on the ground, there was a jade bottle lying with a seventh-level Emperor Grade Rising Yuan Pill inside!

Suddenly, the Sixth Elder sensed something wrong and frowned, speaking to himself, “I think I’ve been had!”

He soon realized that the Sect Master had already considered this idea, but if it were announced by him, it would surely result in a lot of grumbling from the peak leaders and Outer Door elders behind his back!

As a Sect Master, being cursed behind his back by the peak leaders and elders of the Outer Door would hurt his prestige. Over time, it could even lead to unforeseen consequences!

But if it were said that the reform was proposed by the Sixth Elder, there’s no doubt that he would become the scapegoat. The Sect Master wouldn’t be blamed, and his prestige would grow instead of decline!

Realizing this, the Sixth Elder’s eyelids twitched, “So stingy! You make me carry such a big scape, and all 1 get is one pill?”

“The First Elder is used to being a scapegoat. Why didn’t you ask him?”

After venting, the Sixth Elder turned around only to stiffen, “First Elder… what brings you here?”

The First Elder glared with wide eyes, spoke in annoyance, “I’m here to take the fall! Seems like I’m late!”

“Ha, First Elder, you jest. Just tell me what you need!” the Sixth Elder coughed.

The First Elder gestured towards the Eighteenth Peak, “Lately, people from Bliss Palace keep sneaking up there, and young uncle isn’t around. It falls to you, Sixth Elder, to go strengthen the formations.”

“Isn’t Uncle Tieyi guarding it?” the Sixth Elder said with suspicion.

The First Elder sighed quietly, “Uncle Tieyi volunteered to protect the Eighteenth Peak. Now I understand, he’s…. never mind, you’ll figure it out!”
