Chapter 158: Xixi the Emperor's New Concubine, a Goddess Hides Within the Girl's Body (Part 2)
The group bid farewell to Qiyang Hao and the Temple Administration's Divine Messengers stationed in the snowy land outside the Mysterious Temple and returned to the Heart Monkey Temple.
They still couldn't enter the temple and were stopped at the entrance.
The group paid no mind to the matter and, after a brief rest, set off back toward the city.
Li Che and Gong Yunli once again shared a carriage.
Gong Yunli brewed a cup of hot tea and handed it to Li Che, trying to soothe his nerves.
"Ah Che, did you gain anything from this trip? Observing the Temple God can help you improve your woodcarving skills."
"After you return to the city, in a few days, you will likely begin the evaluation for the Second Rank Guest Scholar. It will be personally supervised by the Heavenly Divination Bureau personnel from the provincial capital."
Gong Yunli continued, "During this period, you should practice your woodcarving and get familiar with the Thousand Hands Divine Carving Technique."
Li Che propped his chin with one hand, gazing out the window at the snowflakes swirling past, listening to Gong Yunli's chatter, feeling quite content.
This trip to the Mysterious Temple had been incredibly fruitful.
Not only had he discovered a base of the Corpse God Sect, but he had also obtained the Heaven's Might Face, a mythical divine artifact, albeit a broken one.
A complete mythical divine artifact awaited him to gather.
It was also related to the mysterious lineage of the Heaven Reaching Temple, but that wasn't a big issue.
There would certainly be an opportunity to collect the complete set in the future.
Li Che was even somewhat excited to see if the complete Heaven's Might Face could... bring back the glory of that person.
The carriage jolted and swayed, tearing through the curtain of wind and snow, galloping along the snow-covered official road.
"This year's snow is a bit heavy, with the potential to turn into a snow disaster. I wonder how many people will freeze to death and become refugees in this harsh winter."
Gong Yunli sighed softly, reflecting.
"Before the forces of nature, human power is pitifully small."
Li Che also fell silent, sighing softly.
"This year's heavy snow is a bit unusual."
"Is it related to the Third Prince's Mysterious Temple?"
Gong Yunli leaned his broad chest against the table, easing the pressure, and crossed his arms, as if deep in thought.
Li Che's heart stirred.
"Sir Lesser Inspector, why do you say that?"
Gong Yunli replied, "The Chief Inspector of the capital's calculations indicate that this year, the Four Deities' Temple in Golden Light City will produce a lineage, which is why there have been such major actions this year. Many Divine Children from the Dao City have come, and even the Tyrant Suppressing King has sent his youngest son..."
"All for the chance to obtain the Third Prince's lineage during this Temple Deity Resonance."
"This is a lineage from a Four Deities' Temple, absolutely not ordinary."
Gong Yunli said earnestly.
Li Che nodded, understanding that it was related to the Chief Inspector.
He had wondered why this Four Deities' Temple in Golden Light City, which had been around for so long and had undergone Temple Deity Resonance many times, would suddenly have such a grand event this time.
"The Third Prince's Mysterious Temple is a Four Deities' level, always drawing the attention of many powerful figures. Don't be fooled by the fact that no Divine Embryo-level deity resides there. That's because the current Third Prince's Mysterious Temple is still peaceful."
"Any Four Deities' Mysterious Temple is monitored by the Chief Inspector of the Heavenly Divination Bureau to ensure that, in the event of any unusual activity, powerful figures can be dispatched to sit in, and if necessary, even a Divine Embryo-level deity will be sent."
Gong Yunli revealed a secret.
This was indeed a secret.
Li Che was taken aback. The Chief Inspector of the Heavenly Divination Bureau could monitor the Mysterious Temple from such a great distance?
After all, Golden Light City was over ten thousand miles from the capital.
Even at such a distance, he could still monitor it, which left Li Che quite curious about how it was done.
After a while of jostling, the carriage finally reached the city gates of Golden Light City.
However, the carriage was stopped.
The Divine Guard Army, clad in golden armor, lined up neatly, blocking all the caravans.
Not only Li Che and his companions, but even many passing escort caravans were stopped outside, temporarily unable to enter the city.
In the distance, through the snowstorm, a group of magnificent demon-blood warhorses galloped toward them, with black-armored guards sitting astride.
The black-armored guards escorted an ordinary carriage, and at the carriage pole, the One-Armed Old Coachman sat quietly, holding the reins.
"That's Ji Mo Li's youngest son's caravan."
Gong Yunli leaned close to the window, observing the scene at the city gate.
"Indeed, the Tyrant Suppressing King's offspring is as domineering as his father."
Gong Yunli said resentfully.
Just entering the city, and they had to block others from entering.
The city gate was wide enough for ten carriages to pass side by side, but this young prince wanted to assert his privilege and special status.
Li Che's eyes flickered as he watched the young prince's caravan.
He recalled the terrifying aura that had rushed through the forest, like a mountain collapsing and a tidal wave of fierce beasts.
Li Che's heart sank.
Grandmaster!
Very strong!
Just looking at him made Li Che's hair stand on end.
He quickly focused on the Lion Elephant Vajra to suppress his aura.
...
At the city gate.
The Governor of the city, Su Huili, personally came out, dressed in his official robes, accompanied by officials from Golden Light City, to welcome the young prince of the Tyrant Suppressing King.
A prince's journey could actually draw the officials of an entire city to welcome him, which was quite an honor.
But Su Huili was the youngest disciple of the Tyrant Suppressing King Ji Mo Li, so many understood this.
Li Che watched Su Huili, seeing no signs of grief over the death of Wen Longshan.
He could only sigh at the cold-hearted nature of these people.
Amidst the clamor, more and more carriages gathered at the city gate, causing signs of congestion. After all, Golden Light City was a major city, with constant traffic of merchant caravans and escort services every day.
However, no one dared to complain, knowing that the Governor was welcoming the renowned and powerful youngest son of the Tyrant Suppressing King. Everyone remained silent.
Li Che looked out the window, through the snowy curtain, and saw a five-year-old boy in golden silk robes stepping out of the carriage.
The boy had his hands behind his back, his face youthful yet exuding a sense of authority and cold pride.
Governor Su Huili smiled, followed by the heads of the major families in the city, who all came to greet him.
The young prince was cold and proud, showing no warmth to anyone.
His purple eyes gleamed as he scanned the area, his brow furrowing.
"Why hasn't a Divine Child been arranged to welcome me?"
Su Huili was taken aback, smiling bitterly.
This young prince was indeed just like his teacher, domineering and obsessed with suppressing his peers.
"The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect has sent three Divine Children, who are currently on Golden Peak, sparring with the Divine Children and Spiritual Children of the Golden Light Branch."
(End of Chapter)"Therefore, they have never come to greet me."
Upon hearing this, the young prince's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
"Never mind, I'll visit the mountain another day. I heard that a divine child was born in Golden Radiance City this year, with extraordinary martial arts talent. At the age of four, he underwent blood transformation, which is quite remarkable..."
"It's indeed impressive for a small city like Golden Radiance to produce such a divine child."
The young prince nodded.
"I'll wait a few days before going to Golden Peak to subdue this girl."
"I've just arrived in Golden Radiance City, and I don't have many divine children under my command yet. I'm still adjusting to the change."
Su Huili: "..."
He's used to being the children's king...
Does he want to be the divine child king in Golden Radiance City as well?
Su Huili couldn't help but smile, not going against the prince's wishes. His eyes flashed, even with a hint of amusement.
The young prince was clearly aware that the prince disliked Nan Lihuo, so... he was stirring up trouble.
The carriage entered the city.
The commotion at the city gate gradually subsided, and order began to return.
Li Che sat in the carriage, a gentle smile on his face.
"A little brat dares to speak recklessly."
"Subdue my daughter?"
"Hmph."
Although Li Che's expression was gentle, he had already labeled this young man as 'seeking death' in his mind and made a note of it in his little book.
The last person noted in his little book was Wen Longshan...
Now, he's been taken care of.
This young prince has also earned a spot in his book.
...
...
Li Che returned to the small courtyard in Falling Flower Lane.
Hoo—
The howling wind swept through like a tiger's roar.
As soon as Li Che returned, he started practicing, diligently training every day. Diligence was the foundation of his path to becoming stronger.
After a long time immersed in the cultivation of vital energy, Li Che opened his eyes. His fingers were like hooks, and he clenched them tightly before suddenly releasing them, sending a blast of air that scattered the snowflakes in the courtyard!
On his back, the vital energy piled up and squirmed, causing the muscles to vibrate. It was as if there was a sound of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting, and a furious dragon was about to break free from its cage!
His entire body trembled with each vibration, and every time the muscles twitched, it unleashed a burst of air.
"Inhale—"
Li Che took a deep breath, his eyes sharp and piercing.
"Eight Dragons Turning the Sea, the third blood dragon is almost formed."
Li Che opened his pores, and hot air gushed out like a pressure cooker, emitting a hissing sound.
"However, compared to a Great Master, there's still a gap."
Li Che's eyes flickered.
In the realm of a Master, one refines the five viscera and six entrails. Li Che used a supreme skill to refine one of the five viscera and six entrails.
He was creating an unprecedentedly powerful true intent body.
Combined with the already formidable Furnace Master's body, Li Che had a clear direction for his path to becoming a Great Master.
"Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant, integrating various supreme skills, but dispersing them, each supreme skill can be used to refine the five viscera and six entrails, and when gathered, they unleash the power of the Dragon Elephant."
Li Che sat in the courtyard for a while longer.
Then, he glanced at the sky.
The sky had turned completely dark, and Li Che was in a good mood. The unpleasant emotions brought by the young prince who coveted his daughter had dissipated.
Following the alley deeper into the city, he arrived at a small restaurant, packed some food, and headed straight back to Zhen Lei Peak.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard.
The courtyard was brightly lit, and there were sounds of children playing and laughing.
Li Che was slightly startled.
Why is it so lively today?
Where did Xi Xi charm so many children?
He stepped into the courtyard.
The children's gazes immediately turned towards him.
"Daddy—!"
Xi Xi's little face was flushed, and she was following a stunningly beautiful little girl.
Upon seeing Li Che, Xi Xi immediately let out a squeal and started jumping with her short legs, stomping on the ground in the courtyard.
Finally, she leaped into the air, shooting forward like a cannonball towards Li Che.
However, Li Che easily caught her by the back of her collar.
Then, the little girl was skillfully picked up by Li Che and held in his embrace.
Xi Xi wrapped her arms around Li Che's neck, "Daddy, you didn't come to see Xi Xi conquer the world today, it's such a pity!"
"Xi Xi was so amazing today!"
"She set off so many beautiful fireworks!"
"Daddy, you must come and watch Xi Xi set off fireworks next time."
Xi Xi was excited, waving her arms and legs as she described to Li Che her majestic emperor-like display on the large plaza of Golden Peak earlier today.
"Oh, Daddy, let me introduce you to my new friend!"
Xi Xi shouted.
Li Che's face darkened instantly.
Pinching Xi Xi's chubby cheeks, he asked, "What friend? Who taught you that word?"
Who is it?
Who polluted my daughter's pure and innocent mind?
Xi Xi blinked her big eyes, her mouth pouted by Li Che, and she struggled to close her lips, mumbling incoherently, "It's... Old Chen."
Old Chen was sitting under the eaves, drinking from a gourd.
Hearing Xi Xi's words, he immediately turned pale and quickly scurried away.
Li Che sighed, rubbing Xi Xi's head and telling her not to learn such inappropriate words from Old Chen.
Xi Xi didn't seem to mind. She pulled Li Che towards the incredibly beautiful little girl.
"Daddy, this beautiful big sister is my new frie..."
Xi Xi lifted her chin, "Xi Xi likes her!"
Li Che looked at the girl, and up close, he was even more astonished by her stunning beauty. She was truly a masterpiece of the gods.
When the girl smiled, her fair skin, like jade, rippled, and she bowed slightly to greet Li Che.
"Yun E, greetings to Uncle Li."
Li Che smiled and felt his mood brighten as he was greeted by the lovely girl.
He reached out and patted Yun E's head, pausing for a moment before saying, "Xi Xi might be a bit lively and wild, so please bear with her."
Yun E smiled sweetly and nodded.
"I like Xi Xi too."
Li Che smiled and withdrew his hand.
As he turned to enter the kitchen, his smile instantly vanished.
Because...
In that moment of patting Yun E's head.
In Li Che's body, the Temple God Chess Piece he had just obtained from the Fire-Eye Shocking Monkey Temple Deity began to vibrate.
His third eye, the Niwan Palace, trembled and heated up.
The Star Snatching Eye divine pattern appeared faintly.
Vaguely, he caught a glimpse of the true nature of the void.
And saw...
Within this little girl.
There was a Temple Deity!
