Chapter 130: The Divine Child's Unfathomable Talent, the Embryo of Divine Ability 【Sage of Chess · Great Avalanche】

The Flame Spear?!

What the...?!

What the...?!

Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and his breath quickened.

The overlapping myths of two lifetimes seemed to crash down upon him like a dark wave from the depths of the ocean.

This Flame Spear was the divine armament of Prince Zusan!

How did it end up here, in the Heavenly King Pagoda?

Li Che was stunned, his heart filled with astonishment, as thick mist rolled in, shrouding the truth and suffocating him.

His turbulent emotions quickly calmed, and the Thousand Analysis Hand, having absorbed the fiery divine essence floating in the air, provided its analysis.

...

【Divine Armament (Supreme Tier Four Imperial Armament): Vermillion Flame Spear】

【Craftsmanship: ???】

【Introduction: A mythical weapon, possessing only its physical form without its treasure soul. In its incomplete state, its flames are like a ferocious python, burning through heaven and earth, devouring the cold mist, leaving no trace of sunlight.】

【Perfect Mastery: Requires comprehension of the Five Elements Fire, Essence of Breath Path, Breath and Blood Martial Sage and above, Divine Embryo and above.】

【Secondary Mastery: Breath and Blood Grandmaster and above, Perfect Divine Foundation and above.】

...

Li Che stared at the information analyzed by the Thousand Analysis Hand.

His heart surged with awe and trepidation!

A Supreme Tier Four Imperial Armament...

What kind of opportunity had his daughter encountered?

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

Li Che took a deep breath, his expression changing, and as his joy and astonishment faded, a sense of solemnity settled in.

An innocent man with a treasure is guilty of a crime. If a three-year-old child were to wield this Supreme Tier Four Imperial Armament, what's the difference between that and a three-year-old carrying a million gold coins through the city?

Opportunities stir the heart, especially in this world where Supreme Tier Four Imperial Armaments are extremely precious.

Did Sect Master Nanli Huo protect Xixi?

Or, to be more precise, would Nanli Huo's heart be tempted?

It's not about assuming the worst of Nanli Huo, but rather, human hearts are not easily tested.

Additionally, if the Corpse Deity Sect were to learn that Xixi possesses a Supreme Tier Four Imperial Armament, especially one belonging to Prince Zusan, it would undoubtedly involve that strange temple dedicated to Prince Zusan. They might go to extreme lengths, sending wave after wave of powerful cultivators to capture Xixi and seize the Vermillion Flame Spear!

Li Che's brow furrowed with concern.

However, to give up such an opportunity...

He couldn't help but feel a twinge of reluctance.

Supreme Tier Four Imperial Armaments are even rarer than the strange temple dedicated to Prince Zusan. Ordinary cultivators might search their entire lives without ever catching a glimpse of one!

Should he give it up?

Li Che was torn.

Xixi remained in a state of primordial chaos, still not fully conscious.

As a father, Li Che naturally had the right to make decisions for his three-year-old daughter.

Li Che clenched his teeth.

He turned his gaze to the enormous Golden Heavenly King Statue.

The statue continued to glare at him with a mix of anger and worry.

Li Che stared back!

His eyes flashed with brilliance, and after a long while, he exhaled.

"Let go!"

Li Che made his decision, choosing to relinquish this opportunity and reject the Vermillion Flame Spear.

The choice between letting go and grasping lies in a single thought!

This Vermillion Flame Spear was not something that Xixi, or even Li Che's family, could handle at this time.

Li Che had the bond brought by Xixi, and all he needed was for his daughter to grow up safely, cultivating one Dao Fruit per year...

In the future, Supreme Tier Four Imperial Armaments... they would have them all!

As long as they lived, they would have everything!

Letting go was the path to gaining!

"Let go!!!"

Li Che shouted.

He reached out to embrace Xixi, intending to take her away from the statue.

However...

Just as his palm touched Xixi's body, the Flame Spear trembled and quivered, and a thread of purple flame suddenly shot out.

It seemed to transform into a purple fire snake, spitting venom at Li Che.

Li Che had no choice but to release his grip.

The purple fire snake slithered towards Xixi and entered her palm.

Instantly, a purple flame divine mark in the shape of a snake appeared on Xixi's chubby hand.

Boom—!

The Vermillion Flame Spear trembled even more violently.

Countless dazzling golden rays of light flashed and illuminated the area, like countless beams bursting forth.

The brilliance was so blinding that Li Che could barely keep his eyes open!

As the golden light faded...

The Supreme Tier Four Imperial Armament... had vanished without a trace!

Li Che was taken aback, and his face paled slightly.

Could it have entered Xixi's body?

That purple snake divine mark?

Li Che lifted Xixi's hand, her skin warm, gradually cooling down.

The purple snake divine mark was emitting a faint glow, shifting between shades of red and blue.

He touched Xixi's forehead to ensure she was unharmed, and only then did he exhale in relief.

"Has it been absorbed into Xixi's body?"

"According to the Thousand Analysis Hand's analysis of the mastery conditions, Xixi definitely cannot wield this weapon, not even at the Secondary Mastery level."

"However, it seems that Xixi has gained the approval of the Heavenly King Shrine Deity. Now, after being bathed in the golden light, she has likely earned the recognition of the Flame Spear, allowing her to absorb it into her body."

Li Che held Xixi's hand and closed his eyes.

Using his divine sense, he couldn't perceive anything.

But...

【Sage of Chess】 The Dao Fruit pulsed, and in the next moment, a chessboard network of intersecting lines enveloped Xixi's body.

Instantly, Li Che struggled to perceive!

On Xixi's arm, an extremely terrifying aura was quietly hidden, as if it were resting and not emitting any trace of its power.

It was like a sword that had been sheathed for a century, and once unsheathed, the sword intent it unleashed could cleave through mountains and rivers!

Li Che, with the perceptive abilities of the Sage of Chess Dao Fruit, carefully sensed the situation.

He focused on sensing the high-level divine essence emanating from the Flame Spear to determine if it would harm Xixi's physical body.

However, upon sensing it, he found that not only did the divine essence from the Flame Spear not harm Xixi, but it was gradually and subtly enhancing her physical body!

Li Che immediately felt relieved and dismissed the heavenly chessboard.

Looking at Xixi, who was sleeping soundly, a smile curved his lips.

"With the Four Imperial Divine Armament hidden within her body, Xixi is like having an accelerator for her cultivation. Her innate talent now is probably even more terrifying than before!"

"Divine Child? The term 'Divine Child' can no longer define my daughter, Li Che's daughter."

Li Che couldn't help but laugh happily.

He was already looking forward to the difference between Xixi and the other Spiritual Children during the Temple Deity Resonance Assessment...

Other Spiritual Children would role-play, striving to resonate with Prince Zusan, creating a resonance...

But Xixi directly mastered the Divine Armament that Prince Zusan had once wielded!

It was like a dimensional strike!

Li Che smiled, his lips curling upwards uncontrollably.

He gently touched Xixi's head, drenched in sweat, and her messy bangs were stuck to her scalp.

Li Che's gaze fell on the butterfly perched on Xixi's shoulder, its wings folded, not daring to move.

The butterfly seemed to be secretly watching Li Che.

Li Che exclaimed in surprise, wanting to catch it, but then he thought of something and gave up. In a world with Divine Armaments, Spiritual Wood, there would naturally also be Spiritual Beasts, and even strange Temple Deities and corrupted creatures were not uncommon.

A butterfly with spiritual awareness was not worth making a fuss over.

Xixi lay on the ground, fast asleep.

Li Che stood up, his eyes gazing at the towering and awe-inspiring Golden Heavenly King Statue.

The statue held a pagoda in its hand, which was emitting a faint glow.

"One of the Three Heavenly King Pagodas..."

"If the Three Pagodas of the Heavenly King were combined, they could enter the Three Pure Ones' Divine Armament sequence."

Li Che's eyes glistened with anticipation.

"If Xixi can pass the test and obtain the Flame Spear, then can I obtain the Heavenly King Pagoda?"

Li Che's eyes shone with anticipation and speculation.

"Xixi bathed in the golden light projected by the pagoda, and because she is a Spiritual Child, she received the Pure Mind Divinity through my transmission, thus gaining a great opportunity to obtain the Divine Armament..."

"Can I try it too?"

"Spiritual Child... who isn't one?"

"Even at twenty-two, one can still be a Spiritual Child."

Li Che sat cross-legged, tore open the air, and took out a Divinity Crystal.

After grasping it, the Pure Mind Divine Foundation in his Niwan Inner Scene began to spin frantically, unleashing a terrifying suction force.

He completely absorbed the divinity within the crystal!

Li Che's Pure Mind Divinity slowly recovered.

"Daddy..."

Xixi, lying beside him, woke up peacefully and saw Li Che, her eyes widening with delight!

She sat on the ground, her eyes misting over.

"Daddy... is Xixi dreaming?"

"How could I see Daddy here?"

Xixi rubbed her eyes vigorously, trying to confirm if it was an illusion.

When she realized it wasn't, Xixi burst into tears and ran towards Li Che, colliding with him so fast that it startled Li Che!

The force of the impact was so strong that it almost knocked the old man off his feet!

It was worth noting that Li Che had obtained the Lion Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, and his physical body was incredibly powerful. Even if he hadn't activated it, it would be difficult for him to be caught off guard and suffer a waist injury.

It could only mean...

Xixi's strength had increased significantly!

It had grown tremendously!

Xixi had always been strong, but now it seemed like she had innate divine strength.

Xixi, tiny as she was, nestled in Li Che's embrace, her head nuzzling against him, tears and snot smearing his black robe.

"Daddy, waaah... Daddy... Xixi missed you!"

Xixi cried.

These days on Jin Guang Peak, she hadn't seen her parents for several days, and Xixi had been longing for them.

Li Che's heart softened, and he became gentler, caressing Xixi's little head and patting her back.

"Daddy is here, Daddy has always been here..."

"Daddy has always been protecting Xixi."

Xixi's small head emerged from Li Che's embrace, her hair disheveled, eyes wide, filled with trust and anticipation, and said, "Really?"

"Is Daddy telling the truth?"

Li Che used his sleeve to wipe away Xixi's tears and then combed and tied her hair into two buns.

"Of course, Daddy is telling the truth."

"Daddy, pinky promise!"

Xixi extended her chubby little finger.

Li Che smiled and hooked his finger with hers.

"Pinky promise, no changing for a hundred years, whoever changes is a puppy!"

Xixi spoke in a childish voice, with utmost seriousness.

"Seal it with a kiss!"

Li Che pressed his thumb against Xixi's.

Xixi immediately let go and jumped up and down in joy, startling the butterfly on her shoulder, which flapped its wings.

Xixi and the butterfly resumed their playful chase.

Li Che stood up, sensing the perfect divinity within his Pure Mind Divine Foundation, and then turned his gaze towards the towering Heavenly King Statue.

Mimicking Xixi's actions, he reached out and touched the statue's foot.

Li Che clearly felt a warm current flowing through his body, circling around and then disappearing.

Li Che was ready to transmit his Pure Mind Divinity.

But...

"Bone age exceeded, divinity untainted, reward granted..."

A voice, like a resounding bell, echoed in his ears.

Then, a golden ball of light appeared, floating in front of him.

Compared to the massive ball of light Xixi had summoned, which contained the Flame Spear, this was minuscule...

It was like comparing a ping-pong ball to a basketball.

Li Che: "..."

He felt a bit humiliated.

He actually thought he could obtain the Heavenly King Tower. He was truly daydreaming.

But… at least you should have probed his Pure Heart divine essence, right?!

Li Qingshan was speechless, but he still happily accepted the reward.

Free rewards should never be refused.

Normally, he wouldn’t be able to enter here, but thanks to Xixi, he had the chance to bask in her glory.

So this reward could also be considered free.

The golden light dissipated, and Li Qingshan received a golden-covered booklet.

"Six Ministries Meditation Without Fear Golden Heavenly King Divine Countenance Art!"

Li Qingshan’s eyes suddenly lit up!

Six Ministries Divine Countenance Art!

What a tremendous fortune!

Heavenly King, though you humiliated me, you gave me enough...

Li Qingshan smiled and put away the Divine Countenance Art.

Although Li Qingshan needed to gather seven Divine Countenance Arts to break through to the Divine Appearance realm, he needed seven different arts.

One was not enough, but everything has a beginning, and he could accumulate them one by one.

Now that he had obtained one, it was a good start.

Rumbling—perhaps sensing that Xixi and Li Qingshan had completed their rewards, the entire Golden Temple seemed to shake.

The thunderous sound echoed continuously.

Li Qingshan’s expression changed slightly.

His hand, which was still on the foot of the Heavenly King statue, didn’t let go but instead began to skillfully caress it.

The feeling was just like when he had touched the bald head of the Three-Eyed Spiritual Infant Temple Deity in the strange temple in Thunderbolt City.

Thousand Analysis Hand… Absorb!

Chess Sage Fruit!

Full power!

In an instant…

A powerful suction force erupted from Li Qingshan’s palm!

Golden light began to rapidly condense…

Sweat beads formed on Li Qingshan’s forehead, and his entire body tensed.

Just as the divine essence chess piece was about to take shape.

A powerful pulling force suddenly erupted from the Temple Deity’s body!

Almost dispersing the almost-formed chess piece!

"Ridiculous—!"

Rumbling—!

A terrifying sound suddenly exploded, like rolling thunder and an enraged Thunder God!

Li Qingshan instantly released his hand, and the absorbed Heavenly King Temple Deity chess piece instantly fell into the chessboard.

A loud boom!

The entire chessboard trembled, and the star position where the piece landed, along with the intersecting lines of the chessboard, seemed to instantly sink and collapse.

As if it couldn’t bear the weight.

Li Qingshan caught a glimpse, and it was a chess piece of "black gold" color!

Still black…

Could it be that only the Pure Heart divine essence could condense a white chess piece?

Li Qingshan’s heart flashed with doubt.

Then he felt a huge repelling force.

He and Xixi, who was chasing butterflies, were instantly repelled out of the Divine Gate.

At the moment of being repelled, Li Qingshan clutched the Thunderbolt chess piece and instantly disappeared, relocating elsewhere.

...

...

On Jin Guang Peak, in the temple.

The Seven Treasures Golden Pagoda floated in the air, shaking violently.

A strong wind suddenly arose, and countless golden rays of light shot out from the pagoda, spinning rapidly.

In an instant, Xixi’s small body was ejected.

Nan Li Huo, who had been closely monitoring the situation, narrowed his eyes and immediately waved his sleeve, creating a gust of wind to protect Xixi.

"Retreat—!"

At the same time, Nan Li Huo felt a thunderous explosion in his ears, and his powerful divine sense almost trembled.

Nan Li Huo’s calm and gentle face changed dramatically for the first time.

"The Temple Deity is enraged?!"

"Xixi… what did you do in the Divine Gate?!"

Nan Li Huo looked at Xixi, his eyes full of doubt and seriousness.

Xixi… had angered the Temple Deity?

That shouldn’t be the case!

This three-year-old Divine Child, with his extraordinary talent and pure divine essence, was loved by everyone. The Heavenly King Temple Deity… should have liked him.

Why did it seem like he encountered some disgusting spirit child?

A butterfly perched on Xixi’s shoulder, and she sat on the gust of wind created by Nan Li Huo, her eyes blank.

Looking around, she opened her mouth slightly.

"Where’s Daddy?"

"Where’s such a big Daddy?"

Xixi soon became melancholic.

"Maybe… I missed Daddy too much, and I dreamed of him…"

Xixi felt a bit sad again.

Sang Guan Yin quickly ran over to comfort Xixi. Seeing her pretty senior sister, Xixi’s mood improved, and she no longer missed her father.

Catching the butterfly that came out with her, she exclaimed, "Wow, the butterfly came out with Xixi!"

The pagoda returned to calm and landed back on the altar.

Nan Li Huo furrowed his brows, puzzled.

Seeing the butterfly, he relaxed a bit. Perhaps… the Temple Deity’s anger and scolding were not directed at Xixi but at the butterfly that followed her out?

"This is a spirit beast, but I don’t know what kind. I’ll take it to the Heavenly Observation Bureau to find the Inspector. The bureau has a vast collection of rare books and studies astronomy and geography; they should know," Nan Li Huo didn’t pursue it further.

Because the pressure and rank of the butterfly spirit beast were not strong.

Clearly, it was just a young spirit beast.

Spirit beasts have long lifespans, and it would take a long time to mature.

Xixi would definitely not live longer than this spirit beast. After a spirit beast recognizes its master, it will fly away once its master dies.

So Nan Li Huo didn’t pay much attention.

Instead, he was curious about Xixi’s gains in the Divine Gate.

A Divine Child with pure divine essence should receive the Temple Deity’s favor and obtain excellent rewards, right?

Although he entered the Divine Gate back then, his talent was limited, and he only obtained a Six Ministries Upper Rank Divine Countenance Art.

With Xixi’s talent, perhaps he could obtain a complete Divine Countenance Art of the Five Elders level, or even… a complete Divine Countenance Art of the Four Emperors level!

The Golden Light Branch of the Divine Sect does have a Four Emperors level divine essence art, the "Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Wrathful Prince" divine essence art, but it is only a Cultivating Nature art.

And the Divine Foundation Technique... fell to the level of the Six Ministries.

Not to mention the higher-tier Divine Countenance Techniques, for many small sects, a single Divine Countenance Technique is enough to support the foundation of the sect!

"Harvest?"

Xixi blinked her big eyes, thought for a moment, and remembered her father's dream instruction not to easily reveal the existence of the hidden gun in her hands.

So, she could only change the topic of her harvest.

There was also a cultivation technique in her mind that could cultivate to the Divine Countenance.

"The Supreme Elder's Extreme Grief Wind Fire Dragon Prince, this is the cultivation technique that Xixi obtained in her mind."

Xixi said.

As soon as she mentioned this, Xixi's mood dropped, thinking of the pitiful little boy in her dream.

The thought made Xixi's heart tremble, and she rubbed her chest, pouted, unable to hold back her sadness, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Nan Lihuo was slightly startled in his heart; this was the influence of the Divine Essence.

He quickly spread his spiritual sense to soothe Xixi's emotions.

"Indeed, it's a Supreme Elder-level Divine Countenance Technique, covering Temperament, Divine Foundation, Illusory Form, and even Divine Countenance!"

Nan Lihuo was satisfied in his heart.

However, what puzzled him was that this Extreme Grief Wind Fire Dragon Prince seemed different from the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Wrathful Prince in the Four Imperial Bizarre Temple.

Prince Zusan... are there other Seven Emotions Divine Essence Techniques?

This was a new discovery, a good research direction.

"A Supreme Elder-level Divine Countenance Technique, at least, your path to Divine Countenance is worry-free. Cultivating to the Supreme Elder's Divine Countenance, looking at the vast Golden Light City, you can easily suppress many Divine Countenances."

Nan Lihuo patted Xixi's head, feeling very pleased and satisfied.

This little girl had indeed given him a great surprise.

"Xixi, there's about a year left until we go to the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Wrathful Prince's Bizarre Temple for the Temple Deity Resonance test. During this year, you need to complete the transformation of your Divine Essence, and completely transform it into the Extreme Grief Wind Fire Dragon Prince's Divine Essence."

Nan Lihuo said gently.

"Does Xixi have the confidence to complete it?"

Xixi heard the challenge and immediately straightened her chest and little belly, excitedly saying, "Xixi will definitely succeed!"

"Can Xixi take the little butterfly with her? Let it play with Xixi!"

Xixi pointed at the little butterfly on her shoulder and said.

"Of course, you can."

Nan Lihuo smiled gently, rubbing Xixi's head.

"Did you obtain any Divine Essence Secret Techniques or Divine Essence Martial Arts from it?"

Xixi shook her head.

Nan Lihuo's smile became even more intense.

He raised his hand, and a black and red booklet appeared in his hand.

"A Divine Countenance Technique, your opportunity is profound, and since you obtained it yourself, it must be extremely compatible with you. This Divine Essence Secret Technique, Prison Fire Glass Body, is what I will teach you."

"As for Divine Essence Martial Arts, which type do you want to learn?"

Upon hearing this, Xixi tilted her head, thought of the little gun in her arm, and her eyes lit up, "Xixi wants to learn gun techniques!"

Gun techniques?

Nan Lihuo nodded, cultivating the Prince Zusan's Divine Countenance and learning gun techniques was indeed more suitable.

"No problem, I'll teach you."

...

...

Li Che clenched the Flying Thunder Chess Piece, and in an instant, he teleported back to the workshop courtyard.

Night, quiet and dark.

The surroundings were silent, the night sky filled with a bright moon, and the cold moonlight spread across the heavens and earth.

Li Che stood in the tranquil courtyard, exhaling slowly, as if a rolling thunder.

His entire body trembled, as if dark blood-colored currents were rushing through, and his vital energy was like lightning!

Back...

Li Che opened his eyes, his whole body relaxed, and he looked a little weary.

From setting out with Li Qingshan and Lin Xiu to hunt down Shangguan Zhengheng, to learning about Xixi's great opportunity and rushing to assist her, Li Che had been extremely busy.

However, the harvest was rich and pleasing.

He couldn't help but smile softly.

The greatest harvest... was still the Six Ministries Divine Countenance Technique obtained from the Heavenly King's Golden Divine Gate, and... the Heavenly King Shrine Deity Chess Piece he obtained from the Temple Deity!

It was a Heavenly King Shrine Deity Chess Piece! Even if it wasn't a complete Heavenly King Golden Pagoda...

Just one of the three pagodas, its Temple Deity's power was absolutely not to be underestimated!

That Heavenly King Shrine Deity Chess Piece...

If he used this Heavenly King Shrine Deity Chess Piece to activate the Ascend the Tower technique, how powerful would it be?! Just thinking about it made Li Che's heart tremble slightly.

Would it be...

Like...

The Heavenly King's Presence?!

I'm invincible!

Li Che couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

However, he quickly controlled his emotions.

Sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, the night grew deeper, and the evening breeze was refreshing.

Inhale—

Exhale—

Li Che adjusted his state with each breath, whether it was his vital energy or Divine Essence, he restored them to perfection!

His mind moved.

He was about to use the Divine Chess Sage Fruit to expand the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

However...

The thought had just formed.

Li Che suddenly opened his eyes! A glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes! In his pupils, information appeared.

【Dao Fruit: Immortal Craft (lv3, 80%), Lion Elephant Vajra (lv3, 25%), Pure Mind (LV3, 25%), Chess Sage (LV3, 0%)】

Hmm?!

【Dao Fruit: Chess Sage (LV3, 0%)】

In front of him, golden light flashed!

【Dao Fruit LV3, after transformation, obtain the Technique Embryo "Chess Sage · Great Avalanche"
