Chapter 171: Super Wealth, Six Ministries Divine Essence Crystal, and the Golden Temple Encounter with Qitian (Part 2)
..
Silently, the Heaven Earth Jade completed the transfer of ownership.
Xue Dudu's attached blood and Martial Will directly dissipated.
Li Che also sensed the treasures within.
"No Divine Armaments, which is quite a pity. That Farming Knife Transformed into Crescent Moon Saber... I didn't get it, what a shame."
"The Grand Master Technique "Desert Solitary Smoke Saber", and also..."
"There's also a Martial Sage Ultimate Art!"
"Thousand Mountains Solo Journey Saber!"
Suddenly.
Li Che's movements froze as he took inventory of his harvest, his eyes shining with a bright light and his breathing quickening.
"Hmm? This is..."
"Sixth Rank Divine Essence Crystal?!"
The feeling of being showered with riches...
Li Che once again experienced it.
Who wouldn't be numb to such wealth?
Numbness only occurs when the riches aren't substantial enough.
...
...
City Lord Manor.
The atmosphere was oppressively gloomy.
Inside the grand hall, candles illuminated the room, creating a bright space.
Xue Dudu sat in a chair, his arms severed, now an armless old man with an extremely unpleasant expression.
What made his expression even worse was...
His Heaven Earth Jade had been torn open! The connection between him and the jade had been severed!
"Damn it!"
Xue Dudu's heart filled with rage and pain.
He wasn't worried about the contents of the jade being obtained by that dead monkey.
After all, if the jade was forcefully opened while he was still alive, it would only trigger self-destruction, destroying the jade and all its treasures within!
"Grandpa Dudu, don't take it too hard. That Netherworld Monkey is no match for your strength... He's just borrowing the power of the Temple Deity."
The young prince, seeing Xue Dudu's unpleasant expression, tried to comfort the Grand Master Xue Dudu with a mature demeanor, buying goodwill.
"Once we return to the royal palace, I'll ask my father to get you a Blood Flesh Minor Restoration Pill to help you regain your arms."
The Grand Master had not yet achieved the ability to regenerate flesh and blood.
But upon reaching the Martial Sage Realm, it would be possible.
However, Xue Dudu's desire to attain the Martial Sage Realm in this lifetime was likely hopeless...
So he could only rely on external objects.
The Blood Flesh Minor Restoration Pill was a superior-grade divine pill of the Six Ministries, not only capable of rapidly increasing vital energy but also aiding in flesh and blood regeneration!
Xue Dudu shook his head.
"Young Prince, I'm fine. I'm just frustrated by that Netherworld Monkey."
"If there's a next time, I'll kill him!"
Xue Dudu's killing intent surged.
For a Grand Master, temporarily using Divine Essence to form arms was also an option.
"That Netherworld Monkey appeared suddenly, probably having just arrived in Golden Light City..."
"Most likely, he's here because of the Strange Temple of the Third Prince."
"The Netherworld Monkey..."
The young prince suddenly laughed.
"Even the Netherworld is getting into assassination, which is similar to the Hunter God Pavilion..."
"The assassins from the Hunter God Pavilion should have followed us into Golden Light City... Grandpa Dudu, contact that assassin from the Hunter God Pavilion and say... that we also want to issue an assassination mission. Will they accept it?"
Xue Dudu was taken aback.
"Assassinate who?"
The young prince smiled.
"Assassinate the Divine Monkey."
"Isn't the Hunter God Pavilion rumored to be expanding its business to prefecture-level cities?"
"Perfect, the Netherworld is essentially competing with the Hunter God Pavilion for business. They won't let this go easily."
"Perfect..."
"Let them fight among themselves!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Dudu's expression changed, and he took a deep breath.
Below, Su Huaili, who was sitting, paused in his tea-drinking.
His face also revealed surprise.
The young prince...
Was starting to resemble the old prince!
...
...
Time flowed like sand through their fingers, unnoticed.
Amidst the winter rain and falling snow, five days quietly passed.
Five days had gone by since the last Grand Master battle.
The entire Golden Light City, which had been in a state of agitation, gradually returned to calm.
However, the undercurrents were turbulent, and every faction could sense it.
The smaller second and third-rate factions within the city had restrained their actions, not daring to be too ostentatious.
One day, the winter rain fell like cow hair.
In Falling Petals Lane, at the Independent Workshop Courtyard.
Heat waves rolled, and vital energy surged.
There were tiger roars, leopard growls, and thunderous sounds! Powerful air currents shot out, preventing the winter rain from falling.
The temperature in the entire courtyard rose significantly, scorching hot, like a furnace radiating intense heat.
Li Che stood in the center of the courtyard, his five fingers gripping a long spear with a golden and red hue, resembling an eighteen-foot-long staff, heavy and powerful.
Perhaps due to the infusion of blood aura, the Tiger Leopard Thunder Roar Splitting Gold Spear felt incredibly smooth and connected to Li Che's consciousness.
Li Che stood still, his eyes closed, and in the next moment, he abruptly opened them, and his entire body exuded a desolate aura.
He took a step, as if crossing countless mountains, walking alone in the desolate world, taking solitary steps amidst the thousand mountains! Desolate and lonely intentions surged!
Li Che's hand holding the Tiger Leopard Thunder Roar Spear trembled, and the tiger and leopard roars, along with the thunderous sounds, erupted, as if transforming into sharp blade auras that slashed downward!
Crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, it landed with a circle of invisible ripples in the air!
"Martial Sage Ultimate Art, Thousand Mountains Solo Journey Saber... Minor Success!"
Li Che's entire body trembled, and after the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit reached LV4, the increase in his physical strength was immense.
After undergoing a complete transformation, he broke through from the Master Initial Stage to the Master Later Stage, and he even gained Primordial Divine Power-level physical strength!
Even without the Temple Deity's chess piece, Li Che could easily defeat ordinary Grand Masters at the Profound Completion stage.
"After reaching LV4, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit provides an even greater boost... especially to my martial comprehension! My comprehension is almost heaven-defying!"
"Even with Martial Sage Ultimate Arts, I can master them to a minor success level in just five days..."
Li Che's eyes shone with a brilliant light, and he laughed.
"The most crucial aspect of advancing from Master to Grand Master is the refinement of the five viscera and six entrails. In fact, the vital organs are the key. By refining them with true intention, eventually forming the great pill within the body, integrating martial will, and forging Divine Essence, one can achieve the Divine Essence Grandmaster stage..."
"What if I refine my five viscera and six entrails with Martial Sage True Intention?"
"Others who refine their viscera and entrails with Martial Sage True Intention are considered to have mastered a Martial Sage Ultimate Art. But I can master multiple arts, refining each organ with a different technique!"
"However, obtaining Martial Sage Ultimate Arts is challenging..."
Li Che shook his head slightly.
He had this idea, but the conditions seemed unfavorable.
The Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant, Primordial Heaven-Spanning Staff, and Thousand Mountains Solo Journey Saber were already three Martial Sage Ultimate Arts.
"Hmm, that young prince also possesses a Martial Sage Ultimate Art, Ten Thousand Dragons Suppressing Gods!"
"So, I'm still missing one..."
Li Che genuinely didn't know where to obtain this final art.
"The Grand Master Technique, 'Desert Solitary Smoke Saber', is barely sufficient... to serve as a temporary replacement." Li Che shook his head, his dissatisfaction evident.
He put away the Tiger Leopard Thunder Roar Splitting Gold Spear.
Li Che sat down cross-legged in the courtyard.
These five days passed peacefully.
After being beaten by Xi Xi, the little prince seemed to have calmed down, or perhaps he was pretending to be dead to avoid fulfilling the bet of becoming a slave.
Waiting for the Temple God Resonance Conference to begin.
Xi Xi was extremely dissatisfied, grumbling daily about the little prince Ji Hai, calling him a liar who was both weak and playful.
Martial cultivation concluded.
Li Che took out the precious Sixth Rank Divine Essence Crystal he had obtained from Xue Dudu's Heaven Earth Jade.
It was about the size of a duck egg, shimmering with milky white radiance.
His heart stirred.
[Dharmic Fruit: Pure Mind (LV3, 70%)]
For five days, Li Che would hold this Sixth Rank Divine Essence Crystal and absorb its power.
About a third of the Divine Essence within the crystal had been consumed, likely the foundation Xue Dudu had prepared for breaking through to the Divine Essence Realm.
Now, it was Li Che's gain.
However, the absorption from this Sixth Rank Divine Essence Crystal wasn't as smooth as the first time he had absorbed the Seven Elements Divine Essence Crystal.
It could be said that the Pure Mind Dharmic Fruit's absorption was more cautious.
He was afraid that the pure and powerful Divinity, if rushed into his body, might cause harm.
So, he absorbed a little each day, slowly refining it.
But the speed of improvement was not slow; in five days, he had increased the maturity by 40%!
At this rate, after some more time, he would reach the LV4 level!
Li Che was quite excited about this prospect.
One had to acknowledge the importance of resources in cultivation.
Time passed, and Li Che's main body, together with his Immortal in Painting avatars, worked tirelessly on cultivating Divinity.
The Immortal in Painting Dharmic Fruit also reached the LV2 level, and the speed at which the avatars absorbed Divinity was indeed much faster.
After reaching LV2, the Immortal in Painting Dharmic Fruit allowed the avatars to consume less Divinity, exist for longer, and possess greater strength!
Moreover, it had an additional function: Li Che's consciousness could fully descend upon one of the avatars, controlling it as if it were his main body!
Li Che even began to anticipate what kind of divine ability would awaken when the Immortal in Painting Dharmic Fruit reached LV3!
When the maturity reached 78%, the Sixth Rank Divine Essence Crystal dimmed, and no more Divinity could be extracted from it.
Li Che decided to stop absorbing Divinity for the day.
He stretched his body, stood up, and his eyes glistened.
"Five days have passed..."
"My condition has also recovered to the peak of perfection. I can try entering the Golden Temple within the Heavenly King Tower."
"Let's see if the Heavenly King's anger has subsided..."
"Would you be willing to let me touch you?"
Li Che stroked his chin, a smile unconsciously spreading on his lips.
The next moment.
Li Che spread his five fingers, and in the empty palm, as he clenched it.
It was as if he had grasped the flying thunder chess piece that remained in the Heavenly King Tower, within the Golden Temple.
And Li Che's figure shifted, teleporting into the temple.
Inside the temple.
Li Che stood quietly, listening intently.
If the Heavenly King's temper hadn't subsided yet, he would try again another day...
"Hmm? No sound... It seems the Heavenly King's anger has dissipated."
Li Che laughed, his mood greatly improved.
Standing in the temple, his ink-black robe moved without wind, and his gaze fell upon the colossal Golden Heavenly King statue.
Among the Seven Elements Divine Form Techniques Li Che cultivated, one was the 'Sixth Rank Suspensive Thought Golden Heavenly King Divine Form Technique', acquired from the Golden Temple.
Now, Li Che's Thought Divine Foundation had reached perfection, and he had attained the level of observing Divine Forms.
At this moment, as Li Che looked at the Heavenly King's Divine Form, he activated the Divine Form Technique in his mind, and the slowly turning Thought Divine Foundation began to outline the shape of the Heavenly King.
Like a woodcarving, first sketching the shape, then carving...
After observing for a while, Li Che felt his Divine Consciousness expanding, causing a dizzying sensation, a result of the massive consumption of Divine Consciousness.
The more powerful the Divine Form, the more Divine Consciousness it consumed.
"In terms of Divinity... my innate talent is indeed average. Neither in Divine Essence Secret Techniques nor Divine Essence Dharmic Methods am I considered a genius."
Li Che shook his head and sighed softly.
Unlike in Martial Arts, his comprehension was terrifyingly strong.
The Martial Sage Ultimate Art, achieved minor success in just five days! In a year, he might even reach the Great Success stage!
If this speed were known, it would likely scare Grand Master Xue Dudu to death.
Finishing his observation of the Divine Form.
Li Che exhaled, stood up, and within the temple, he jumped and moved freely.
As he moved, he slowly approached the awe-inspiring Golden Heavenly King statue supporting the Heavenly King Tower, as if testing its limits.
When the boundaries were crossed, he could act as he pleased.
When he was within a foot's distance.
Li Che's eyebrows rose, and he smiled.
He slowly raised his sinful hand.
And placed it on the enormous shoe of the Heavenly King statue.
But...
The moment Li Che's palm touched the statue.
Li Che's expression changed dramatically.
His Divine Consciousness swept out.
And he immediately sensed the Mythical Armament, the Heaven-Spanning Face, on the Heaven Earth Chessboard within the Chess Saint Dharmic Fruit, trembling violently! Countless gilded monkey hairs spread from the mask, writhing around and weaving on the chessboard...
And within the temple.
Li Che also snapped back to his senses, his heart stirred, and he abruptly raised his head.
He saw the colossal Heavenly King statue, supporting the pagoda, leaning forward at an unknown time, its head tilted forward, glaring down at him.
And on Li Che's face.
Countless gilded monkey hairs sprouted.
The Heaven-Spanning Face...
At some point, it had already covered his face.
