Li Cheng’s eyes flickered with deep shock as he considered a staggering possibility!
That possibility was that Qi Jingtian was not human!
He was this very Secret Land!
Combining what Qi Jingtian had said, Li Cheng found it not difficult to guess that when Qi Jingshen perished, the Secret Land had probably already developed spirituality, which is why he had left a contingency in place to pave the way for Qi Jingtian.
It was unknown how long ago, but as the spirituality condensed and gave birth to Spiritual Wisdom, it became the current Qi Jingtian.
Undoubtedly, Qi Jingshen must have given some hints to the entity before it had developed its Spiritual Wisdom, such as the name and the Array Pattern Stone.
So when Qi Jingtian came into being, he subconsciously knew his name to be Qi Jingtian and knew to throw out the Array Pattern Stone.
This was precisely why Qi Jingtian said he would look at his body when he was awake—even though Li Cheng had not paid attention to it before and had taken it as introspection.
With this realization, Li Cheng couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement; a whole world transforming into form, that was the stuff of legends about great demons of heaven and earth!
To confirm his speculation, Li Cheng asked, “Do you know who gave you your name?”
Qi Jingtian shook his head, “Ever since 1 became conscious, I knew my name was this, but 1 don’t know who named me.”
Indeed, Qi Jingshen had given him a psychological suggestion before he perished!
This Secret Land was crafted by Qi Jingshen, so he named it Qi Jingtian!
Li Cheng looked towards Qi Jingtian, and if he truly was this Secret Land, then his current body must not be his true form!
Being a great demon of heaven and earth, this Secret Land was his true form, and what was seen now must certainly be an incarnation, most likely a flesh body refined using some special method!
When a Cultivator’s flesh body is destroyed, leaving only the Nascent Soul, they could utilize special materials to recreate their form and become a Loose Immortal.
The Qi Jingtian before him must be similar to a Loose Immortal, probably with a flesh body crafted for him by Qi Jingshen. After being born with Spiritual Wisdom, he immediately inhabited this flesh body, equivalent to an incarnation.
“Master in the heavens, please accept your disciple’s three prostrations!”
While pondering, Qi Jingtian had already knelt down and respectfully performed the rites of apprenticing.
Li Cheng nodded inwardly; countless powerful beings had fallen in this Secret Land, it seemed he had learned everything he needed to from those people.
[Apprenticeship Successful, Reward: Enlightenment Opportunities 5. ]
[Current Remaining Enlightenment Opportunities: 19. ]
As the notification sounded, Li Cheng couldn’t help but be overjoyed. A great demon like this indeed was different, merely accepting a disciple, and he was rewarded five times!
Initially, Yun Tianqiong and Ling Xi had only awarded him twice.
Li Cheng wasted no time, concentrating his Comprehension of Array Method and embedding it into Qi Jingtian’s forehead.
Qi Jingtian sensed it for a moment and bowed respectfully, saying joyfully, “Thankyou, Master!”
“There’s no need to be polite, as long as you don’t think that taking me as your master was too hasty or reckless,” Li Cheng said.
In the outside world, unlike at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, in the sect, everyone knew him, and they couldn’t wait to become his disciples.
But the Qi Jingtian before him was merely a first meeting.
“Not at all, Master. Actually, I’m very clear that the one who can see me here is my master!” Qi Jingtian said.
“Honestly, Master, this is actually my true form!” Qi Jingtian pointed at the ground below and spoke somewhat awkwardly.
Li Cheng nodded, smiling, “I already knew, but I’m still quite relieved that you’re being honest!”
Qi Jingtian looked surprised, “Master, how did you know?”
Li Cheng smiled mysteriously and then asked, “Your true form cannot transform yet; do you wish to use a spatial formation to contain your true form?”
Qi Jingtian was even more astonished. He had guessed that too?
Hastily bowing, Qi Jingtian said, “Please assist me, Master!”
“How large is your true form?” Li Cheng inquired.
“My true form is a circular continent with a diameter of a million miles,” Qi Jingtian said with anticipation.
Li Cheng was taken aback. That huge?
To set up an array that covers such a vast area is simply beyond my capabilities!
Moreover, it’s a spatial formation, which 1 have never even touched upon to this day!
Unless I find knowledge about this kind of formation and experience several enlightenments, perhaps it might be possible.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng said helplessly, “Currently, I have not come into contact with any spatial type formations, but rest assured, just as soon as I acquire knowledge in this area, I will be able to assist you quickly.”
“Master, can’t you just store my true form like a storage ring?” Qi Jingtian asked.
Li Cheng shook his head. A storage ring is forged mainly from Sky Meteorite Stone, which contains space rules; it is only through forming an array to utilize these rules that a storage ring is created.
But the storage space in a storage ring is generally only several hundred to a thousand cubic meters; how could it possibly accommodate a continent with a diameter of a million miles?
Only by using a spatial formation to envelop this Secret Land and carry it within the formation would it work.
Of course, if Qi Jingtian’s true form could transform, then it would be simple.
After pondering for a moment, Li Cheng felt that setting up a spatial formation might not be quicker than transforming, and moreover, it would eventually be necessary to transform.
With that in mind, after leaving this place, I’ll have to search for the materials for a Transformation Pill…
That’s not right, Li Cheng suddenly realized, his true form is not a flesh and blood body, so pills would be of no use to him!
‘Transformations of great demons of this world are too rarely recorded; I need to investigate thoroughly!’
The great demons of this world are extremely rare to begin with, so the records about them are scarce, but without exception, those who successfully transform are all formidable beings.
“Peacefully continue your cultivation for now. Your master will find a way!” Li Cheng comforted.
Qi Jingtian nodded, “Master, I will take you to a place!”
Li Cheng glanced at Feng Wanli and saw that he had already begun meditating in mid-air, his eyes slightly closed, obviously having started to comprehend the contents recorded on the pillar.
In this state, without interruption, he would certainly need a long time to awaken; conveniently, that meant Li Cheng could go see with Qi Jingtian first.
Upon leaving the hall, Qi Jingtian stepped on the ground, and it cracked open, revealing a bottomless pit.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it an abyss.
Qi Jingtian leaped into it just like that.
Li Cheng, without any doubt, jumped in as well, for to doubt him would be to doubt the system, and the system, having recognized him as its master, would not deceive him.
After descending more than ten miles, he arrived at a brightly lit underground hall, where Immortal Qi filled the air.
“Master, this is the place. 1 awoke here originally,” said Qi Jingtian.
This underground hall was about a kilometer in size, and its walls were made of Immortal Stones. The white light emitted by the Immortal Stones lit up the hall.
In the innermost part of the hall, there was a round cushion with a Jade Slip and a ring placed on it.
“Immortal Artifact!”
Li Cheng recognized at a glance that the ring was an Immortal Artifact, probably a Storage Ring!
If it was a Storage Ring, then it was very likely that it held the wealth of Qi Jingshen!
“Master, that is for you!” Qi Jingtian pointed at the round cushion and said with some anticipation.
“Have you ever looked inside to see what it is?” Li Cheng asked.
Qi Jingtian shook his head, “From the moment 1 awoke, I felt as though 1 already knew everything about this place, and I also knew not to touch them. They must be left for master!”
Li Cheng understood; it was another of Qi Jingshen’s methods!
He grabbed the Jade Slip from afar, and a light immediately emerged from within it!
It was the image of an elder with an aura of Immortal Qi. Though it was only an image, it was still imbued with the fleeting essence of a true immortal.
“Descendant of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, thank you for your efforts!”
In the image, the elder’s voice could be heard, and the very first sentence raised Li Cheng’s eyebrows; did he know that he came from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?
This was just an image from who knows how many years ago, not a Remnant Soul, and yet he was aware of this matter?
