Chapter 162: The Guest Scholar's Assessment, the Great Sage's Falling Knife Carving, and the Golden Elixir's Dominance (Part 1)
The snow burst open, creating a misty haze that filled the space between heaven and earth.
The entire mountain path, paved with green stones, seemed to undulate like a giant dragon, causing the accumulated snow on the path to cascade down like an avalanche.
The One-Sleeved Elder took a step onto the green stones, and his aura instantly transformed.
It was as if he had awakened in an instant, like a fierce tiger opening its eyes, shaking the heavens and the earth.
With a shout to pay respects to the mountain, the sound waves exploded like thunder!
The surging airflow rose like a tide, and incredibly, it blocked the numerous snow avalanche waves that were falling.
The snow turned into thousands of white river-like dust!
Then, the One-Sleeved Elder began to walk, taking just one step, and his body suddenly shot up like a cannonball.
The speed was too fast.
It reached an extreme!
Even faster than an arrow leaving the bowstring!
Whoosh!
The cold winter wind was completely suppressed, and a force that twisted the air, an indescribable might, emanated from the One-Sleeved Elder, forming a unique domain around him!
The rising scorching vital energy enveloped the entire mountain, causing the white snow to steam and the void to distort.
It was as if a great sun had risen from the foot of the mountain, magnificent and radiant, bursting with light and heat!
A Great Master!
At this moment, the entire Golden Radiance Branch trembled.
Within the mountain gate, disciples from various peaks and veins felt their hearts tremble, stirred by the event.
Almost simultaneously.
Within the branch, on several peaks, powerful auras twisted and erupted!
On Zhen Lei Peak, Li Qingshan's anger surged, and he clenched his fists, causing the ram-horn hammer to slide into his palm, which he then lifted.
The gate swung open, and he rushed out, his Divine Appearance aura erupting from his body, resembling a thunder god with wings spanning the heavens and earth!
On the Two Sleeves Peak, Elder Zhang Qingzheng, a Confucian elder who was reading, suddenly slammed his book shut, unable to contain his fury.
Taking a step forward, he swept out with overwhelming force.
On the Red Cloud Peak, Zhu Hongdou was polishing his crimson divine spear when he sensed the Great Master's aura erupting from the foot of the mountain.
Without hesitation, he drew his spear and shot out.
On the South Peak.
The eldest Elder Weng Wuyu sighed softly, tapped his peach wood cane, and stepped forward.
On the Golden Peak.
Nan Lihuo's expression remained calm, his white robe fluttering in the wind.
Beside him, the Daoist Wang Kuyu's expression grew increasingly bitter.
"Senior Brother, it seems your prediction was correct... This young prince couldn't stay put and has finally arrived."
"Paying respects to the mountain is just a show of strength."
Wang Kuyu shook his head quietly.
Nan Lihuo smiled, "No, it's not just a show of strength... It's a test."
"A test?"
Wang Kuyu asked, puzzled.
"He's testing you, Senior Brother..."
"The young prince is ostensibly here to see Xi Xi and observe the native divine child of the Golden Radiance City, but in reality, having a Great Master pay respects to the mountain..."
"The purpose is to test your strength, Senior Brother, as a representative of the Divine Sect."
"After all, the Golden Radiance Branch is a branch of the Divine Sect. If the main sect is present, they won't stand idly by, and they also represent the Divine Sect."
"The Great Master's act of paying respects to the mountain is to see if the Divine Sect has sent a Divine Elixir Master this time."
Nan Lihuo's white robe fluttered in the wind, and his white hair blew uncontrollably.
Upon hearing this, Wang Kuyu was momentarily stunned.
"Ah..."
"Indeed."
Nan Lihuo gave Wang Kuyu a meaningful glance.
Sometimes, the choice to fight or not is not yours to make.
Without further words, his wide sleeves billowed, and he took a step forward, descending gracefully onto the large plaza at the top of the Golden Peak.
Liu Yangyuan and Sang Guanyin arrived one after the other.
Xi Xi, the chubby Zhou Peng, the stunningly beautiful Yun E, and numerous top-grade and high-grade divine children training on the Golden Peak gathered with a clatter.
"Sect Master! Someone wants to fight!"
Xi Xi exclaimed excitedly, her big eyes wide.
"Shh... Xi Xi, you shouldn't say such things."
Chubby Zhou Peng's face twitched, and he quickly shouted.
Xi Xi tilted her head, "But they're provoking us. Isn't paying respects to the mountain a way of challenging us to a fight?"
Chubby Zhou Peng's head spun like a rattle drum, "Of course not. This person is a Great Master... Who can beat a Great Master?"
"Unless the Great Masters from our main sect rush over, or a Divine Elixir Master intervenes... Otherwise, we're probably going to get beaten up."
"A Great Master's physical body is flawless and indestructible, forming an invincible Vajra body. Their internal organs are refined to perfection, with energy flowing through every part of their body, condensing the Divine Gale and merging their spirit, blood, and flesh into a human elixir pill!"
Chubby Zhou Peng took a deep breath, explaining the Great Master's power to Xi Xi.
Xi Xi opened her mouth and her eyes sparkled, "How many fireworks would it take to blow them up...?"
Chubby Zhou Peng: "..."
Well, after explaining, this girl only had fighting on her mind.
She showed no fear even towards a Great Master...
Indeed, she was incredibly bold!
No wonder she was born in the year of the ox!
Yun E, standing nearby, covered her mouth and smiled, gently pulling Xi Xi aside to whisper something.
Xi Xi's expression turned serious upon hearing this.
Nan Lihuo arrived with his hands behind his back, glancing at the group of youngsters, but he didn't ask them to leave.
He wasn't worried that the young prince, accompanied by a Great Master, would dare to unleash chaos within the Golden Radiance Branch's mountain gate.
After all, the Temple Deity Resonance required their Golden Radiance Branch to initiate.
This was likely just a show of strength, using their aura to suppress their peers and intimidate the divine and spirit children of the Divine Sect, preventing them from performing well during the Temple Deity Resonance.
Boom, boom, boom...
The entire peak shook.
The four Divine Appearance elders arrived one after the other, landing on the Golden Peak.
Li Qingshan's face darkened, and he clenched his ram-horn hammer, feeling the suffocating pressure that made it hard to breathe. He adjusted his breath, trying to calm his surging internal energy.
A Great Master...
Their flawless and indestructible physical body forms an invincible Vajra body. Their internal organs are refined to perfection, with energy flowing through every part of their body, condensing the Divine Gale and merging their spirit, blood, and flesh into a human elixir pill!
When the elixir forms a domain, the will becomes divine!
The most terrifying aspect of a Great Master is their terrifying martial arts will!
Currently, Li Qingshan has only reached the Perfect Master Stage, mastering the True Intent Ultimate Art Eight Dragons Turning the Sea, refining five blood dragon spirits.
However, the path to becoming a Great Master seems distant and hopeless.
To comprehend the True Intent, refine the internal organs, and cultivate a supreme skill to the Transformation Realm, giving birth to a True Intent domain, is the Perfect Master Stage, seemingly just one step away from the Great Master.
In reality, this single step was more challenging than anyone could have imagined.
Just as Yuan Xiang wanted to cross the barrier and step into the Divine Essence Realm, becoming a Divine Essence True Person, the difficulty was even greater!
A Grand Master, placed on a battlefield of bloody slaughter, was enough to rival a thousand armies without defeat.
And it wasn't just any ordinary army, but the most elite and battle-hardened troops of the Great Jing Dynasty—the Ironclad Army! Even a Grand Master who had just stepped into the Silver Aura realm would be considered a top-tier powerhouse in the Dao City.
Nan Lihuo's expression remained calm, his divine perception expanding to bear all the terrifying auras, ensuring that the Divine Children wouldn't be affected.
When the Young Prince entered the Golden Radiance City, he had anticipated this situation, so he wasn't surprised.
As the son of Duchess Mo Li of Pacifying Chaos, it was understandable for him to act so domineering.
Boom—
A sound of breaking through the air reverberated, followed by a one-armed elder who suddenly landed on the mountain peak.
With one step, it seemed as if the entire mountain forest was trembling, and countless plants, mud, and sand shook the heavens.
Countless streams of air solidified, tearing through the air, and the entire mountain peak echoed with rumbling sounds!
The elder landed in front of the large courtyard.
His black hair danced in the wind, and the empty sleeve of his plain robe lashed through the air. Despite wearing only straw sandals, no one dared to underestimate his might.
"Silver Aura Grand Master... Xue Dudu."
Nan Lihuo murmured softly.
He knew all the powerful individuals around Duchess Mo Li like the back of his hand.
Xue Dudu slowly opened his eyes, and in an instant, the wind and snow on the entire mountain peak abruptly stopped.
It was as if the night had been enveloped by an even denser and darker darkness, causing the heavens and earth to become dim and oppressive.
This was the martial will of a Grand Master!
Xue Dudu didn't make a move; he merely displayed his martial will, and it instantly created an extremely terrifying oppression.
Nan Lihuo's expression became solemn, and a divine appearance emerged from behind him, bathed in dazzling golden light.
His muscles and bones resonated, and as a Grand Master who had reached perfection in martial arts, his physical body couldn't help but emit a brilliant humming sound.
This was his self-defense after sensing the martial will.
"Ah..."
A soft sigh suddenly echoed from within the temple.
Xue Dudu's eyes flickered, and he raised his head. The black axe at his waist began to tremble.
Inside the temple, a Daoist slowly walked out.
"Xue Dudu, if you want to pay respects to the mountain, why be so domineering? Your martial will is like a raging fire; how can these children bear it?"
"That's too much."
The Daoist sighed again.
The next moment, he flicked his hand, holding a dust whisk.
With his fingers forming a seal, his divine essence surged forth, and behind him, a golden pill with a drop of liquid inside floated up.
Within the pill, a divine appearance was hidden, radiating golden brilliance and flowing with vibrant light!
Countless divine essences, divine intentions, and primordial spirits were all contained within.
Divine Essence Golden Pill!
As soon as this Divine Essence Golden Pill appeared,
Instantly, a terrifying pressure surged from the Daoist, like a tidal wave, fiercely assaulting Xue Dudu's martial true intent!
Boom!!!
It was as if the heavens were drumming, a muffled explosion!
Xue Dudu couldn't help but take a step back, his face slightly changing color.
His palm had already landed on the axe at his waist.
"Divine Essence True Person?"
"Wang Kuyu of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect... Have you broken through to the Divine Essence Realm?"
Xue Dudu took a deep breath, feeling the boiling divine essence stage suppression, forcefully suppressing his martial true intent.
His expression became more solemn.
Just as the Young Prince had guessed, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect had indeed sent a Divine Essence True Person!
At the same time,
The entire Golden Peak fell into silence.
Li Qingshan, Zhu Hongdou, and other divine appearance elders all turned around in disbelief.
They felt the terrifying stage suppression that made it almost impossible for them to operate and flow their divine essence and divine nature...
Their hearts were filled with shock.
Divine Essence True Person!
The Sect Master's senior brother had actually succeeded in condensing the Divine Essence Golden Pill, surviving nine deaths, and becoming a Divine Essence True Person!
Nan Lihuo turned around, and in the depths of his profound gaze, there was a hint of relief.
...
...
The entire Golden Radiance Prefecture City was shaken.
When the Young Prince visited the Golden Radiance Branch with a Grand Master to pay respects to the mountain, all the powerful individuals in the city were startled.
The divine appearance ancestors of the Qin, Hai, Gong, and Yang clans all soared into the sky, expanding their divine perception to sense from afar.
That was a Grand Master...
A martial Grand Master could even rival a Divine Essence True Person!
If this martial Grand Master had also stepped into the Divine Essence Realm in terms of divine essence, it would be even more terrifying!
However, Xue Dudu hadn't reached the Divine Essence Realm in terms of divine essence; he was only at the later stage of divine appearance.
This was because he spent most of his time on martial cultivation, which naturally slowed down his divine essence cultivation.
"Grand Master..."
The divine appearance ancestors' expressions changed repeatedly, filled with inexplicable reverence.
However, they also knew that this battle couldn't be fought. The Young Prince only wanted to pay respects to the mountain and meet the Divine Children; it was impossible for him to take action.
But soon, the divine appearance ancestors' expressions changed once again.
Because a more powerful aura than the Grand Master's martial will burst forth, and from a distance, it seemed like they could even glimpse the terrifying Divine Essence Golden Pill!
"Divine Essence True Person?!"
At this moment, the divine appearance ancestors of the several clans finally understood the Young Prince's intention.
He wanted to test the depth of the Divine Sect's presence in Golden Radiance City!
No one had expected that the Divine Sect had hidden a Divine Essence True Person in Golden Radiance City!
For a moment, the ancestors' bodies were filled with a chill.
...
...
At the cliffside treasure tower.
The Heavenly Divination Bureau.
In the examination room.
Li Che's gaze fell on the child beside the white-robed figure.
A familiar feeling surged forth.
Sleeve Crossbow, Thousand Spider Silk...
Li Che shook his sleeve, and the sleeve crossbow and thousand spider silk hidden within it suddenly felt scorching hot.
However, Li Che's expression changed slightly.
The Flying Thunder Chess Piece left on Xi Xi's body instantly sensed what was happening on Golden Peak.
Even without the perception of the Flying Thunder Chess Piece, the powerful aura emanating from Golden Peak was enough to be sensed.
The Inspector and the Deputy Inspector from the Dao City exchanged glances and simultaneously vanished from the room.
Standing atop the tower of the Heavenly Divination Bureau's Treasure Tower, he gazed towards the mountain gate of the Golden Radiance Branch.
