As for Luo Qiushui, the fact that the eldest senior brother didn't pay him any mind surely had its reasons; it was best for himself to interact with him as little as possible.
"That way leads towards the Hunting Emperor Sect, you should be heading northeast, where the Taixuan Sect is located," Luo Qiushui didn't insist but voiced a reminder.
Without turning his head, Li Cheng waved his hand and vanished from Luo Qiushui's sight.
Feeling helpless, Luo Qiushui found the right direction and flew towards the Dao Sect.
After a short while, Li Cheng entered the city. The city was not large but had everything one could need, including a detailed map of the Supreme Realm.
Li Cheng spent two hundred top-grade Divine Stones to buy one and started to examine it closely.
"It turns out that the Supreme Realm isn't that big. The Wan Race lives together on a continent about the same size as the Divine Realm, surrounded by the Great Wilderness."
This place was a hundred billion li away from the Taixuan Sect that the eldest senior brother and the others had joined; Li Cheng planned to find them first.
Without pausing, Li Cheng tore through the sky and left.
After flying for ten billion li, Li Cheng, who was hurrying on his way, suddenly felt a resonance in his Divine Power with something, causing him to come to a stop.
"This resonance, it's like a call, how strange!"
Li Cheng extended his Divine Sense and saw, a million li away, waves of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture manifesting!
This discovery made Li Cheng astonished, "Is there someone in the Supreme Realm who also cultivates the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture?"
Without any hesitation, Li Cheng headed in that direction.
Moments later, a dilapidated sect appeared before Li Cheng!
This sect residence was quite shabby, occupying only a dozen or so mountain peaks, and the sect itself was extremely quiet, with less than a hundred people in total!
In front of the mountain gate stood a stone stele covered in green moss with the inscription: Chaotic Yuan Gate!
Looking at that ancient stele, Li Cheng's eyelids twitched. Could it be the Chaotic Yuan Gate from the Divine Realm a trillion years ago?
Back then, to drive out the God Race, the Chaotic Yuan Gate led the powerful of the Wan Race from the Divine Realm to act, and although they eventually succeeded in expelling the God Race, the losses were heavy for the Wan Race, and the Chaotic Yuan Gate declined and disappeared until now.
Li Cheng would have never thought to find the Chaotic Yuan Gate in the Supreme Realm!
Landing outside the mountain gate, Li Cheng called out loud, "Li Cheng from the Human Ancestor's Divine World seeks an audience with the Sect Leader!"
Swish!
The next moment, ninety-six figures flew over like lightning!
"Did you say Human Ancestor's Divine World?" The one leading was a thin middle-aged man, his face showed weariness, but his spirit was extremely excited.
Li Cheng could sense that the middle-aged man's cultivation was at the mid-stage of the Human Supreme, while the rest varied from Divine Venerable to Divine Emperor.
From the middle-aged man's reaction, Li Cheng concluded this was indeed the Chaotic Yuan Gate from the Divine Realm that he knew!
Perhaps in ancient times, some members of the Chaotic Yuan Gate reached the Supreme Realm and established it here; however, they did not seem to fare well.
Of course, it was also possible that the Chaotic Yuan Gate had once flourished in the Supreme Realm, but from the current situation, this did not seem likely.
Li Cheng greeted with a fist salute, "Indeed, the senior must have sensed that I cultivate the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture as well!"
The middle-aged man nodded vigorously, happily saying, "That's right! It seems you really are from the Human Ancestor's Divine World. Please come inside, let's talk more within!"
Making a welcoming gesture, the middle-aged man, along with the ninety or so people, all showed happiness, clearing a way for Li Cheng.
"You are Li Cheng, right? My name is Jia Fengnian, and I am the First Elder," said the middle-aged man with a smile, walking alongside Li Cheng.
He paused, then shook his head, "Actually, it's not really appropriate to call me the First Elder, since I'm the only elder left now..."
Li Cheng subtly raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the Chaotic Yuan Gate had recently suffered a great misfortune!
Once they reached the guest hall, everyone crowded in, all eyes expectantly on Li Cheng.
Jia Fengnian coughed lightly, giving a signal to the crowd, but no one was willing to leave.
Helplessly, Jia Fengnian could only say, "Please excuse us, Disciple Brother Li Cheng. As you might know, our Chaotic Yuan Gate's heritage stems from the Human Ancestor's Divine World. For countless years, we've never seen a fellow sect member from there come to us; you are the first, which is why everyone is naturally curious."
Li Cheng bowed to the crowd, then turned to Jia Fengnian, "Elder Jia, I came here because my Divine Power resonated, which led me to find you. We are fellow sect members, so let's not be strangers with each other."
Jia Fengnian's face brightened with a smile, nodding, "I heard that the Chaotic Yuan Gate of the Human Ancestor's Divine World disappeared a very long time ago; is that true?"
While talking, Jia Fengnian took out an ancient tome.
"A trillion years ago, the expulsion of the God Race led to the decline of Chaotic Yuan Gate, and shortly afterward, it disappeared," Li Cheng stated truthfully.
Jia Fengnian sighed, opened the ancient tome, and said, "Look, when driving out the God Race back then, two Elders mistakenly entered a space rift beyond our domain and arrived at the Supreme Realm."
"Unable to find their way back, they established the Chaotic Yuan Gate there, passing down its teachings to this day."
Li Cheng took the ancient tome for a closer look, and it really was so!
It seemed that the Chaotic Yuan Gate in the Supreme Realm had also been inherited for a trillion years!
However, the tome recorded that the two Ancestor Masters only practiced twenty-seven layers of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture!
The final six layers were missing!
After a moment of thought, Li Cheng understood that even though the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture had thirty-three layers, in those days, the Divine Realm could only cultivate up to the twenty-fifth layer!
Having mastered twenty-seven layers of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, these two Elders were incredibly accomplished, comparable to the Sovereign of Origin before the evolution of the Divine Realm!
But it was exactly because of this that the inheritance of the Chaotic Yuan Gate in the Supreme Realm was incomplete.
This was probably why the Chaotic Yuan Gate could not rise to power, as according to the ancient tome, despite its longstanding heritage, it never became a major force.
Having finished reading the ancient tome, Li Cheng took a deep breath. In the palm of his hand, the last six layers of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture materialized, "Elder Jia, and fellow disciples, here are the final six layers of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture. Please accept them!"
Jia Fengnian suddenly stood up, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the specks of light condensed by Li Cheng, his expression filled with immense excitement.
After a moment, Jia Fengnian suppressed his excitement and said, "In fact, we have sent many people to the Human Ancestor's Divine World in secret, in search of the complete Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, but regrettably, we never found it."
"Oh?"
Li Cheng looked at Jia Fengnian and suddenly realized something!
Back then, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had said that anyone who practiced the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture would be secretly protected by a mysterious force!
Thus, even though the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture was listed as a forbidden art in the Immortal World, those who practiced it generally remained unharmed in the Immortal World.
Now it seemed that the ones protecting practitioners of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture were the very Chaotic Yuan Gate before him!
They scoured the world in search of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture and naturally protected anyone they found who practiced it as one of their own!
Unfortunately, the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture in the Immortal World was also incomplete back then, which is why the Chaotic Yuan Gate never found it. The complete Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture was only cultivated by the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable, who placed it in the Chaos Yuan Hall within the Three-way Abyss, a location these people never discovered.
Understanding this, Li Cheng couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Now that the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture is complete, I wish for the Chaotic Yuan Gate to prosper more and more each day!"
However, his words merely elicited wry smiles from everyone.
"Are there any difficulties?" Li Cheng inquired.
Jia Fengnian sighed. He was, after all, a Supreme Realm existence, yet here he was, being asked such a question by a disciple in the Divine Emperor's Realm, which showed just how embarrassing his situation was!
But he bore no ill will, for the Chaotic Yuan Gate truly had fallen on hard times!
"Little brother, you may not know, but for these years, our Chaotic Yuan Gate has been struggling for survival in the cracks!"
"Ten thousand years ago, we still had over a hundred thousand disciples, barely qualifying as a mid-tier sect, but for some unknown reason, we angered a major power, and overnight we were left with only over two hundred people!"
"After that, of the two hundred plus, some died and some left, and now only ninety-seven of us remain!"
Jia Fengnian was full of helplessness and unwillingness!
Li Cheng glanced over the people present, then turned to Jia Fengnian, "Elder Jia, what about one more person?"
There were only ninety-six people present; could it be that counting himself they said ninety-seven?
Jia Fengnian sighed once more, "The Sect Leader has been gravely injured and has lain in slumber for ten thousand years!"
"Younger brother, since you have come from the Human Ancestor's Divine World and carry the complete Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, I boldly ask you, please stay!"
"Brother Li Cheng, please stay!" the people around called out one after another.
Li Cheng frowned subtly, looking at Jia Fengnian. A strong being from the Supreme Realm, pleading with someone at the Divine Emperor's Realm like himself?
This was even when they didn't fully understand who he was!
The Chaotic Yuan Gate must be in a more dire situation than he had imagined for a Supreme Realm powerhouse to consider him a lifeline and use the word 'plead'!
