Chapter 556: Chapter 397: The Hiding Place of the Longevity Pavilion_2
After a while, Li Cheng completed the repair of the formation\'s deficiencies and flew back. "Has there been any news from the Hunting Emperor Sect?"
The Elders hurriedly bowed, with one Elder responding, "Reporting to Vice Alliance Leader Li, a message has come. They have besieged the Hunting Emperor Sect and within three days they will be able to eradicate it completely."
"Is there still no movement from the Longevity Pavilion?" Li Cheng asked, puzzled.
All nodded in agreement.
"If there is still no movement in this situation, they have either given up on the Hunting Emperor Sect or are preparing to save it by some other means," Li Cheng surmised.
"Some other means? With the imminent destruction of the Hunting Emperor Sect, the best way for the Longevity Pavilion to save them is probably to stir up chaos everywhere, forcing the major powers to return for defense," said an Elder.
Li Cheng nodded, "Indeed, luring us away to save Zhao is one of the best strategies currently available for the Longevity Pavilion. And, as the initiators of the siege against the Hunting Emperor Sect, our Three Arts Alliance will undoubtedly be a prime target."
All the Elders nodded, and another added, "But the Alliance Hierarch must have anticipated this, which is why we were commanded to remain behind. With the twelve Elders assisting Vice Alliance Leader Li in operating the formation, we have nothing to fear!"
All twelve of them possessed the cultivation of the Heaven Supreme, and with the formation covering the One hundred and eight cities, they had nothing to fear even before the formation was perfected, let alone now that it had been perfected by Li Cheng.
Li Cheng looked outside the city, "If the Longevity Pavilion has indeed given up on the Hunting Emperor Sect, they will certainly try to control the Human Ancestor\'s Divine World by other means. It\'s difficult to guard against, and that\'s why I actually hope the Longevity Pavilion will come."
If the powerful members of the Longevity Pavilion were to come, it would mean they hadn\'t given up on the Hunting Emperor Sect and there would be a strategy to deal with them. If they didn\'t come, it would be truly difficult to defend against.
Regardless, as long as the powerful members of the Longevity Pavilion dared to come, Li Cheng was confident that he could use the formation\'s power to trap and kill them, weakening the Longevity Pavilion\'s strength.
However, after waiting three days, the One hundred and eight cities remained as calm as ever!
News had already come from the Hunting Emperor Sect that all the cultivators in the Supreme Realm were either slain or captured; not a single one slipped through the net!
Upon receiving this news, Li Cheng and the Elders exchanged looks. One Elder said, "It seems the Hunting Emperor Sect has been abandoned. The Longevity Pavilion had no intention of saving them."
In the Supreme Realm, once a sect loses its Supreme Realm power, it can be considered thoroughly fallen!
Even so, the Longevity Pavilion had not shown themselves, there was no doubt, they had discarded the Hunting Emperor Sect.
Soon after, Leader Danzhen led the victorious return of the Three Arts Alliance, and the powerful members of the participating forces also returned to their respective domains.
At the top of the high tower, Dan Zhen\'s expression was solemn, and he remained silent for a long time.
The assembly of Elders felt similarly.
Although the Hunting Emperor Sect can be considered finished, not drawing out the Longevity Pavilion meant this operation couldn\'t be counted as a success.
Li Cheng and the Confucius Ancestor both frowned. With the threat of the Hunting Emperor Sect removed from the Divine Realm, the ultimate issue is that the Longevity Pavilion has the Human Ancestor\'s Divine World in their sights. Now, without any clue of the Longevity Pavilion\'s whereabouts, how could they be at ease?
"It\'s a pity that the Hunt Emperor was cursed and has turned to ashes; otherwise, searching his soul, we would definitely know a lot of information," sighed Dan Zhen.
The Confucius Ancestor solemnly took out the Heaven and Earth Chessboard and the light sphere containing a strand of mysterious sword light, "It seems we have no choice but to rely on the Heaven and Earth Chessboard for calculations."
"Brother Li, the task falls to you!" Dan Zhen quickly said with clasped hands.
At this point, hopes indeed rested on the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
The Confucius Ancestor nodded, glanced at Li Cheng, who understood and took a seat cross-legged before his father, the Confucianism Supreme Law starting to surge around him.
The Confucius Ancestor formed seals with his hands, as his mighty Divine Power and the Confucianism Supreme Law both entered the chessboard in unison.
Together, father and son managed to evoke a light shadow above the Heaven and Earth Chessboard instantly.
Then, the Confucius Ancestor cast the light sphere into the chessboard, and as the sphere shattered, the strand of sword light immediately swept across the chessboard.
```
Meanwhile, the light and shadow above the chessboard finally reacted, revealing a great mountain.
"Is this the Ten Thousand Ancestor Mountain?" Dan Zhen\'s brows lifted as he observed the scene emerging from the light and shadow.
Following that, a black-robed figure appeared within the light and shadow, drilling into the spring eye of the Ten Thousand Ancestor Mountain. Then the light and shadow changed, as if experiencing the perspective of the black-robed man!
After passing through the spring eye, he surprisingly arrived in a realm of chaos!
The black-robed figure walked through the chaos for a long time until he reached a majestic hall before him, climbing up the countless steps in front of the hall, the signboard \'Longevity Pavilion\' entered into the light and shadow.
The doors of the great hall opened, and dozens of black-robed figures dashed out, flying in all directions.
"Spies, spying on my Longevity Pavilion, seeking death!"
Suddenly, a furious shout came from within the hall, and the light and shadow shattered violently!
Under that shout, everyone in the hall felt their blood surge violently, each hurrying to channel their divine power to suppress the tumultuous blood.
Confucius Ancestor and Li Cheng both spat out blood, their eyes snapping open, as Li Cheng exclaimed, "Such formidable cultivation, even though we used the Heaven and Earth Chessboard for divination, the black-robed figure was unaware, yet the powerful being inside the hall discovered us!"
Confucius Ancestor nodded, "Longevity Pavilion being hidden within chaos, these methods are indeed extraordinary."
Your journey continues on mvl
Dan Zhen, noticing that the two had only suffered minor injuries, let out a sigh of relief, saying, "Who would have thought the spring\'s eye on the summit of the Ten Thousand Ancestor Mountain would connect to chaos; no wonder we couldn\'t find the Longevity Pavilion despite our best efforts."
From what was inferred just now, it was clear that the Ten Thousand Ancestor Mountain was not the only path leading to the Longevity Pavilion, but the people of the Longevity Pavilion chose to use the Ten Thousand Ancestor Origin Land and the Ten Thousand Ancestor Mountain, most likely for the Styx!
The Styx connects to every realm; could it be that the Longevity Pavilion is planning to enter the Human Ancestor\'s Divine World through the Styx?
At this thought, Li Cheng suddenly had a chilling feeling!
The Confucius Ancestor had obviously considered this possibility too and abruptly looked up, "This is bad! We\'ve got to hurry back now!"
The Divine Realm was still not fully evolved, the Supreme Law had not yet been completed, and Dan Zhen and the others couldn\'t go to the Divine Realm, but the people of the Longevity Pavilion could enter directly through the Styx, albeit with some temporary restrictions.
Reinforcements couldn\'t arrive, yet the enemies might have already reached their destination. Thinking of this, both the Confucius Ancestor and Li Cheng had furrowed brows.
Asking Dan Zhen and the others to rush through the Ten Thousand Ancestor Origin Land to the Human Ancestor\'s Divine World was simply not realistic. Firstly, there were too many tributaries of the Styx, and it was impossible to know which one led to the Human Ancestor\'s Divine World.
Secondly, the Human Ancestor\'s Divine World would be fully evolved in less than a year, and it\'s feared that they wouldn\'t even make it out of the Ten Thousand Ancestor Origin Land in that time.
That is to say, the Human Ancestor\'s Divine World was about to face, or might already be facing, the Longevity Pavilion with no one able to help unless they waited for the Divine Realm to complete its evolution.
Li Cheng turned to Dan Zhen, "Alliance Hierarch, the people of the Longevity Pavilion might have already used the Styx to go to the Human Ancestor\'s Divine World. My father and I must take our leave now!"
Dan Zhen quickly got to his feet, "Vice Alliance Hierarch Li, don\'t rush. I will immediately issue orders to the Heaven Supremes of all major powers to travel together to the Ten Thousand Ancestor Origin Land and then use the Styx to follow!"
Li Cheng shook his head, "I\'ve calculated it; it\'s too late. By the time we find the tributary of the Styx that leads to the Human Ancestor\'s Divine World, it\'ll already be too late. It\'s better if you wait at the passageway to the Human Ancestor\'s Divine World and the Supreme Realm."
By waiting outside the passageway, they could instantly traverse it into the Human Ancestor\'s Divine World as soon as the Divine Realm finished evolving.
Dan Zhen pondered, "Then that\'s all we can do for now."
Leaving the Three Arts Alliance, the father and son duo teleported toward the passage.
"The Longevity Pavilion is building plank roads while secretly crossing through Chen Cang. If we hadn\'t visited the Ten Thousand Ancestor Origin Land and learned of the Styx, we would never have thought the Longevity Pavilion would use the Styx," sighed Confucius Ancestor.
Li Cheng nodded, "Unfortunately, even now that we have thought of it, I fear we are powerless to stop the Longevity Pavilion, perhaps we can only ask the Human Ancestor to return."
Bai Qingming once said, if there really was no other option, she would enter the Long River of Time to find the Human Ancestor!
The return of the Human Ancestor would surely solve the crisis in the Divine Realm.
This was the last resort, and yet, they still had to take this step.
