Having gauged the old man’s strength, Li Cheng felt nothing but disdain.

A venerable Immortal, yet he would falsely boast of his Cultivation to scare others.

The embarrassing part was, he had actually fallen for it!

This matter must not get out.

Thinking about it, it made sense, the Immortal Yuan inside an Immortal isn’t something True Yuan could compare to, how could a cultivator from the Lower World see through his Cultivation?

So, just bluff, after all nobody could see through it.

As long as it could fool people, that was enough.

Just as the old man had stabilized his stance, Li Cheng had already swooped in front of him again, throwing another fierce punch at his chest.

The old man only managed to stack his palms in front of his chest in time but had no chance to counterattack. When the punch landed, he felt as if his palms and chest were struck by a mountain, with his internal energy and blood churning non-stop.

With Li Cheng’s half-immortal Artifact level physical strength, going all out, unless faced with an Immortal Artifact, what could withstand it?

In the blink of an eye, Li Cheng had thrown more than a dozen punches, finally causing the old man to cough up fresh blood!

The old man wanted to use the momentum of Li Cheng’s punches to retreat, but Li Cheng, sticky like a plaster, wouldn’t give him the chance to open any distance!

For a moment, the old man couldn’t use any of his techniques.

Otherwise, with a few Immortal spells, he was confident he could turn defeat into victory.

After all, close-quarters combat wasn’t his forte.

And now, his Immortal Yuan was being disrupted by the force of Li Cheng’s attacks, making it increasingly difficult to mobilize!

Desperate, the old man quickly said, “Stop, let’s talk this over!”

“You think I’m a fool? Giving you a chance to catch your breath? It’s not impossible, just hand over your Immortal Infant.”

Li Cheng kept bombarding with punches, while the old man struggled to retreat. In just a short few breaths, they had covered dozens of miles.

Suddenly, sensing something, the old man disregarded the intense pain in his palms and chest, and with all his might, spat out saliva laced with blood at Li Cheng!

“What the? Spitting during a fight, are you really an Immortal?”

Li Cheng quickly dodged, staring incredulously at the old man as he turned and fled.

A venerable Immortal, acting so shamelessly?

We are not children, how can he spit during a fight?

The old man headed straight for the valley below without a moment’s hesitation.

Li Cheng started to wonder if this Immortal elder had discovered some Demon Beast excrement down in the valley?

He’s already spat, the next step might be to hurl Demon Beast dung at him!

But as he looked toward the valley, Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, “A Natural Array!”

Looking at the map on the Immortal Stone, the red dot had turned green without a doubt, the Treasure Map pointed right here!

Li Cheng was somewhat speechless; this had been his prepared escape, yet now the old man was taking advantage of it?

Seeing the old man about to enter the valley, Li Cheng didn’t hesitate to flick his fingers into a sword and fiercely unleashed a Sword Qi.

Bang!

The old man’s back was instantly lacerated and his body was slammed into the valley by the powerful blow, vanishing from Li Cheng’s view.

He hadn’t actually disappeared, but entered the Natural Array that enveloped the valley, rendering him invisible from the outside.

Li Cheng landed above the valley, and with a slight beckoning of his Spiritual Sense, he discovered that the Natural Array spanned for three miles, perfectly encasing the valley. The scenery of the valley that was presented was merely an illusion!

“The surface shows an illusion; Array Masters below level eight wouldn’t notice anything abnormal!”

“What’s happening inside can only be known by entering or breaking the Formation.”

Li Cheng pondered, breaking the Formation from the outside would be simpler, but if he entered, it would be more difficult to break, and heaven knows what risks he might encounter.

However, the old man had already fled inside, and once he recovered, he would certainly not be caught off guard by Li Cheng as before.

With the Immortal prepared, Li Cheng dared not be careless.

Thus, Li Cheng made his decision, to follow in!

If need be, he could break the Formation from the inside, with fourteen chances of Enlightenment at his disposal; using a few wouldn’t be too troubling in breaking the Formation.

He flew into the valley without any obstruction, but the scenery before Li Cheng’s eyes changed drastically!

From the outside, it looked like a three-mile-wide valley, but upon entering, he found himself in an expansive, infinite, crimson world!

The ground was a sea of red, with magma flowing in many areas.

The sky too was crimson as if it was ablaze.

Releasing his Spiritual Sense, he could see that this scene stretched for three thousand miles around!

And the figure of that old fellow was nowhere within his sensory range.

“An illusion? No!” murmured Li Cheng.

Utilizing the Power of Laws, Li Cheng could sense clearly that this was indeed a real world!

What was strange was that within this world, the Laws of the Sword Dao and Fist Path were circulating.

These Laws were cultivated by sensing the world around them by the strong; they would not normally drift through the world as they were now, like the skull of that Immortal, which had the Laws fused within it.

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the circulating Sword Dao and Fist Path Laws had the same aura, clearly belonging to the same powerful being, and as these Laws were unguided, it was obvious that this being had perished!

Since they had perished, under normal circumstances, these Laws would return to the world, merging with it, but they had not!

There was only one possibility, this was the Secret Land of that mighty being!

“Preserving the Secret Land with a Natural Array, I see!”

Li Cheng produced the Immortal Stone, but the map on it had faded, no longer providing any guidance.

Pocketing the Immortal Stone, Li Cheng surveyed his surroundings. He had already probed with his Spiritual Sense earlier; there was no sense of day or night here, no direction. Escaping would probably only be possible in two ways.

The first method would be to find the exit of the Secret Land, yet the exit was that very Natural Array, which was accessible but not exitable; he still needed to break through the Formation.

The second method would be to exert an immense force to directly cut the Secret Land open, forcefully breaking the space barriers of the Secret Land, but judging by the stability of this Secret Land, an ordinary Immortal would also be unable to do so.

Li Cheng was not in a rush to leave, finding the exit was merely a matter of time, and breaking the Formation was also just a matter of time.

Right now, finding that Immortal was the priority.

Sensing the source of the Sword Dao and Fist Path Laws, Li Cheng flew towards it.

If he was not wrong, the old man would definitely be searching for the source too.

After flying over a hundred thousand miles, Li Cheng encountered countless skeletons along the way, presumably those who had strayed into the Secret Land and could not withstand the erosion of the stray Sword Dao and Fist Path Laws, and had perished here.

The further forward he went, the less decayed the skeletons were, evidently because they had been more powerful in life.

After flying another hundred thousand miles, the landscape finally changed from the crimson volcanic land to the sight of nine lofty mountains.

The nine peaks formed a ring around the central area, and Li Cheng recognized at a glance that it was the Immortal Array recorded in the books, the Nine Palace Heaven Guarding Array!

It was constructed using nine mountain peaks as the base of the Array, the bases were undamaged, but the Formation wasn’t activated at the moment.

“You’re indeed here, old man, time to hit the road!” Li Cheng spoke lightly, making a beeline for the elderly figure standing before the entrance of the nine peaks.

The old man was intently staring at the entrance with a shocked expression.. Hearing Li Cheng’s voice, he hastily turned and said, “Don’t attack, Li Cheng, there’s a big problem!”
