Chapter 204: The Divine Child's Battle, the Netherworld's Fierce Assault (Part 2)
Tang Sanjia told Li Cheng that after reaching Dao City, he could try to create a seven-ranked mechanism beast in the coming years.
This was based on Li Cheng's cultivation level.
Naturally, Li Cheng didn't accept his suggestion.
Returning to the study, he directly flipped through the diagrams of the other six-ranked mechanism beasts.
"This record contains a total of three six-ranked mechanism beasts..."
Li Cheng's gaze was immediately drawn to a page of diagrams.
"Upper six-ranked mechanism beast..."
"Blood Sun Nine Divine Vajra Ape!"
...
...
Li Cheng's interest in mechanism beasts was purely for research.
The six-ranked mechanism beast indeed made his heart flutter, but the materials were too difficult to collect. Creating a six-ranked mechanism beast required five-ranked spiritual wood, six-ranked spiritual wood, and many rare metal divine mines...
Collecting the materials alone was enough to give Li Cheng a headache.
Tang Sanjia suggested that after reaching Dao City, Li Cheng could try to take the assessment to become a first-rank guest minister of the Imperial Astronomy Bureau, as no other power could match them in terms of material collection.
The next day, the sky was heavy with leaden clouds.
The snowstorm continued.
However, the cold wind and snow couldn't disperse the enthusiasm in the courtyard.
On Right Thunder Peak, halfway up the mountain.
Li Cheng's courtyard was bustling with unprecedented activity.
Zhang Ya had arranged all the packed items in the courtyard, originally planning to use a horse carriage to transport them. Li Cheng waved his hand, and they were all neatly put away.
Li Cheng's Heavenly Foundation space, with the improvement of his Pure Heart Daofruit, had devoured several top-grade Heaven and Earth Jade, expanding to an extremely exaggerated extent.
His uncle's family had also packed their things and rushed over.
Since Li Chengzhou had taken the carriage driver Grand Master Nie Yang as his teacher, Li Cheng gave him a Heaven and Earth Jade as a gift.
There was also a Divine Armament, which was not of the highest quality, but it was a thoughtful gift.
Now, his uncle's family's gifts were all stored in Li Chengzhou's Heavenly Foundation Jade.
Nie Yang, holding Li Chengzhou's hand, seemed to sense Li Cheng's gaze and nodded.
Even the current Li Cheng, who had achieved unparalleled horizontal cultivation, did not dare to underestimate this Grand Master.
Jiao Shaqiu had introduced Nie Yang to Li Cheng. This Nie Yang was a sword cultivator currently stuck at a bottleneck, tempering his state of mind and seeking a breakthrough.
Li Cheng understood that once Nie Yang broke through, he would likely become a Heaven and Man as One innate Supreme Grand Master.
"Let's go, it's time to head down the mountain."
"The convoy is waiting at the foot of the mountain."
In the distance, Old Chen, wearing a straw hat, pushed through the wind and snow and shouted.
Li Cheng held Xixi, while Zhang Ya nestled against his arm.
The family of three gazed at the small courtyard filled with falling snow.
Unconsciously, they had spent a year in this small courtyard.
Zhang Ya was actually quite reluctant to leave.
In this courtyard, she had experienced many things.
It was also in this small courtyard that, under her husband's guidance and help day and night, she had undergone both muscle and bone training...
Although it was only a year, it held too many memories for their family.
"Husband, will we come back?"
Zhang Ya pursed her lips, exhaled a breath of warm air, and asked softly.
"Yes."
"Later, when Xixi grows up and her wings are strong, she'll fly on her own. If you like, I'll bring you back here to retire."
Li Cheng's voice was gentle.
Xixi rubbed against Li Cheng's embrace, pouting, "Daddy's talking nonsense. Xixi's wings won't be strong, they'll be soft!"
"Xixi also wants to come back and live here!"
Li Cheng rubbed Xixi's head, "I know, little pest."
"Hmph!"
Zhang Ya couldn't help but chuckle softly.
The world was quiet, and the wind and snow gently blew.
The snow fell on the black tiles and walls filled with memories, and the loquat tree planted in the courtyard, perhaps many years later, would be towering and lush.
The group descended the mountain.
At the entrance of the Divine Sect, numerous horse carriages were parked.
Nan Lihuo, Zhang Qingzheng, Zhu Hongdou, Weng Wuyu, and others had been waiting for a while.
Xixi's senior sister, Sang Guanyin, had also packed her bags and was ready to go. She would accompany Xixi to the Divine Sect's orthodox branch for cultivation.
Liu Yangyuan stood beside Nan Lihuo, his head drooping and his face looking dejected.
He had thought that this trip to the Dao City would be his turn.
According to the order, it should have been his turn, but...
The master had actually chosen Sang Guanyin instead of him.
He would have to stay in Golden Light City...
Liu Yangyuan felt a bit uncomfortable about this.
But today, he still came to see Xixi off.
"Xixi, do you want to ride with us?"
In the distance, a giant carriage pulled by three pegasus horses had its window opened, revealing the small heads of Gong Yuanliang and Gongyang Yu.
They cheerfully greeted Xixi.
This was a carriage jointly built by the three great families for the children to ride together.
It was also to foster camaraderie among the children, so that when they arrived at the Divine Sect, they could look out for each other.
"If you want to go, go ahead. When you're tired of playing, come back to the carriage where your mother is."
Li Cheng rubbed Xixi's head and let her down.
Xixi immediately slid down and ran excitedly towards the carriage.
"Your Majesty Xixi has arrived!"
Then, she dove into the carriage, causing it to sway from side to side, creating a big commotion.
There were many carriages, and the three great families had also hired the top merchant team to escort them to and from Dao City.
Additionally, Jiao Shaqiu, Lu Yao, Wang Kuyu, and other Divine Essence True Men were also present.
This convoy heading to Dao City was naturally not something to worry about.
Li Cheng arranged a luxurious carriage for his uncle's family, and it was their first time riding in such a comfortable and elegant carriage. The uncle and aunt were a bit nervous and uneasy.
Their hair had turned slightly white, and as they looked out the window at the falling snow, the elderly couple seemed a bit dazed.
They had never imagined that they, who had lived their entire lives in the small city of Fei Lei, would have the opportunity to come to the provincial capital.
Now, they were going to Dao City, a place they would never have heard of in their lifetimes.
Old Chen also accompanied his uncle's carriage.
Li Qingshan and Mu Po were in one carriage.
Shang Guan Qing Hong, on the other hand, squeezed into the carriage with all the children and headed off together.
Jiao Shaqiu rode alone in a carriage driven by Nie Yang.
Li Chengzhou, small and young, faced the wind and snow, wearing a small straw hat, his little face flushed, insisting on riding with his master.
"Let's go!"
With the leader of the convoy's loud shout, the pegasus horses neighed, and the carriage moved forward.
The convoy slowly made its way out of the Golden Light City's branch sect gate, passing through the wide bluestone street, and under the gaze of countless onlookers, it gradually shattered the wind and snow, leaving the ancient city behind.
Among the crowd seeing them off was a young man in white, accompanied by a dog, silently watching the departing convoy.
...
...
The Jiu Long River roared with raging waters, flowing endlessly.
A large yellow dragonwood boat rowed its way, the oars splashing and breaking the water.
The heavy snow falling from the leaden clouds was melted into rain by the scorching divine nature in the river before it could even get close, spraying and splashing into the river.
At the bow of the boat, a figure stood silently.
He wore a crane cloak, his tall and sturdy figure standing out.
Flap, flap...
A gray eagle flapped its wings and flew over.
It landed on the figure's shoulder.
"News from the Hunter Pavilion?"
"Heh... Yes, the entire Golden Light City's Hunter Pavilion outpost was wiped out. How could they not have any temper?"
"Directly mobilizing the leaders of the Hunter Pavilion from the surrounding three state cities..."
"Still as hot-tempered as ever."
Taking the letter from the gray eagle, the tall figure glanced at it and narrowed his eyes.
"Jiao Shaqiu is escorting the convoy out of the city... sending a good seedling from the city's temple to the Dao City."
"Looks like the Heavenly Origin Sect has gained a good divine child this time, leaving even before the spring."
The tall figure raised his head, his purple eyes flashing with electricity.
"The Corpse God Sect and the Hunter Pavilion, I want to see... how you, Jiao Shaqiu, can stop them alone?"
Inside the yellow dragonwood boat's cabin.
Several figures emerged.
"Young Master."
"The Queen has ordered us to retrieve the young prince's body... But, we received intelligence from the Hunter Pavilion that the young prince, the Shadow Guard, and six Black-armored Blood Guards have all perished, their bodies nowhere to be found..."
One of the figures spoke with a grim expression.
"How are we going to report back to the Queen...?"
The purple-eyed figure stood with his hands behind his back, his tall and sturdy body gazing at the endlessly surging Jiulong River.
The Strange Temple of the Third Prince of the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Fury?
A strange temple that both Pacifier King Ji Mo Li and the Dragon God valued...
It must be a place with some mystical qualities.
Even the Queen, despite losing her son, didn't dare to approach...
The tall figure, with his purple hair flying, had eyes like mirrors that flickered.
He shook his head lightly.
"No matter..."
"We'll intercept the people coming from the Heavenly Origin Sect's Dao City, and let the Hunter Pavilion and the Corpse God Sect deal with them."
"A mere Jiao Shaqiu, I want to see how they can stop the furious Hunter Pavilion and Corpse God Sect."
"In the Golden Light City region, we won't act unless necessary."
His words trailed off.
The purple-eyed youth burst into laughter.
His crane-feathered robe exploded, and his body suddenly contorted and bulged, sprouting countless fine scales.
He transformed into a writhing dragon and dove into the Jiulong River.
The other figures also transformed into their true forms as serpentine dragons and followed him into the river.
...
...
The waters of the Jiulong River roared, and the splashing waves exploded endlessly.
At the city gate.
Jiao Shaqiu asked Nie Yang to stop the carriage.
He lifted the curtain, and the cold wind rushed in, fluttering the ancient, simple robes.
"The Netherworld people... didn't come?"
A hint of confusion flashed across Jiao Shaqiu's withered face.
Suddenly, he looked into the distance.
On a tree covered in thick snow, a hundred zhang away from the official road, stood a figure wearing a conical hat and a black robe, holding a three-foot-long, narrow, crimson-red organ pipe.
As if sensing Jiao Shaqiu's gaze, the figure lifted its head, revealing a horse-faced mask.
"Netherworld... Ma Mian."
Jiao Shaqiu narrowed his eyes.
Then, he looked up.
His powerful divine sense soared into the sky, and he noticed a blood cloud swirling in the leaden clouds high above, a thousand zhang in the air.
On the blood cloud, a figure lazily lay on top, playing with a red-gold staff and wearing a mischievous Divine Monkey mask.
"Netherworld, Divine Monkey!"
And...
Jiao Shaqiu turned to look at the side of the official road, where two figures with barely noticeable auras were slowly walking in the dense forest.
One black, one white.
Li Qingshan had told Jiao Shaqiu that these were new members of the Netherworld... the Black and White Kings of Hell.
"Where's Niu Mo?"
Jiao Shaqiu murmured softly.
However, his primordial spirit couldn't locate Niu Mo.
But even though he didn't know Niu Mo's location...
Jiao Shaqiu had a hunch that Niu Mo...
had always been there!
Knowing that the Netherworld had already dispatched their forces, Jiao Shaqiu felt somewhat relieved.
lowered the curtain, and his withered face, like old wood, was filled with solemnity.
They left the Golden Light City.
His primordial spirit was fully activated, and the golden primordial spirit swept and expanded, vigilant of all directions.
Because, outside the city walls.
Danger...
was truly beginning.
"The Dragon Girl from the Ji Hai Association, the Corpse God Sect, and the Hunter Pavilion..."
"This trip won't be peaceful."
...
...
The carriage moved slowly, and the convoy drove in an orderly manner on the official road, like a long dragon winding its way.
Li Qingshan looked out of the carriage at the blowing snow.
He held a cat-faced mask in his hand, ready at all times.
His body trembled slightly with excitement.
Because he knew that the Netherworld's fierce warriors were surrounding and protecting them.
The Netherworld had accepted Jiao Shaqiu's escort mission, and even a master who had once reached the Golden Body Transformation was willing to publish an escort mission.
This was enough to show that escorting the convoy into Dao City would be a perilous journey.
So, Li Qingshan also guessed that there would be plenty of opportunities to join forces with his Netherworld colleagues.
As long as there was a battle, Li Qingshan would immediately put on his cat-faced mask and join the fight!
He was always ready!
The close-knit Netherworld family couldn't do without his cat-faced mask!
This time...
Li Qingshan wouldn't miss it!
...
...
Li Cheng had a separate carriage.
He used it to practice wood carving, as he needed to attempt the Elder's assessment at Divine Carving Ridge upon reaching Dao City.
So, everyone knew, and no one disturbed him.
The charcoal burned, and the spacious carriage was as warm as spring.
The carriage wheels turned, but inside, it was quiet and peaceful. When it came to enjoyment, the three great families were experts.
Leaning against the back of the seat.
Li Cheng's fingers lightly tapped the carriage wall.
He sensed Jiao Shaqiu's tense and expanding primordial spirit covering the entire convoy.
Sitting cross-legged, Li Cheng closed his eyes.
He held his breath and focused.
The convoy had just exited the Golden Light City for about ten li.
Li Cheng felt the Dao fruits in his chest violently pulsating.
His eyes opened and closed, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
He raised his hand and touched his brow, lightly drawing a line.
The flesh opened and closed, revealing the Star Plucking Eye!
Humm—!
The Heaven Earth Chessboard instantly soared into the sky, expanding as it hovered above the convoy...
Welcoming the storm!
Ten zhang, a hundred zhang!
Ten li, a hundred li!
