Chapter 207: The Black Dog's Covert Protection and a New Chess Player in Dao City (Part 2)
Chapter 207: The Black Dog's Covert Protection and a New Chess Player in Dao City (Part 2)
His tense nerves did not relax, as he had to deal with the Hunter Pavilion and the Corpse God Sect.
Although the Dragon Queen Consort would not have enough time to reach Jin Guang City after receiving the news, contacting nearby experts should not be a problem.
There might even be experts among those sent by the Dragon Queen who had achieved the realm of Heaven and Man as One or the Golden Body Transformation! If that were the case, it would be a tricky situation.
With the Heavenly Chessboard constantly monitoring, Li Cheng would be the first to know if any experts in those realms appeared.
Breathing in and out, he smelled the scent of wood inside the carriage, and his mind gradually relaxed.
"The Corpse God Sect... it's a feud that won't end until one side is destroyed, especially that demon child. I must kill him, otherwise... the threat is too great. He's only a few years old, and he's already thinking about Xixi... unforgivable."
Li Cheng was determined to kill the demon child.
The demon child's interest in Xixi was not pure.
It was likely because of the Temple Deity Divinity within Xixi's body.
How could Li Cheng tolerate someone treating his daughter as a vessel for the Temple Deity Divinity?
For his daughter's safety and future, Li Cheng had to find a way to eliminate this demon child!
Better to face the thief than to have him covet your possessions!
Li Cheng had to solve the problem at its root!
Therefore, on this trip to Dao City, Li Cheng added another person to his kill list.
Su Hui'er was one, and this demon child from the Corpse God Sect was another...
"The Corpse God Sect and I... it seems we have a deep-rooted grudge."
Developing the Netherworld to counter the Corpse God Sect, Li Cheng slowly exhaled, his fingers coming together to tear through the air.
He took out the spoils of war he had just obtained.
There were a total of five Heaven and Earth Jade.
Three were from the Hunter Pavilion's Golden Masked Killers, and the other two were gifts from the Six Ministries Corpse Envoys of the Corpse God Sect.
After counting each one, a smile appeared in Li Cheng's eyes.
There were eight Divine Essence Crystals from the Six Ministries, and a total of thirty-six from the Seven Elemental Embodiments, which was understandable given that they were from five people.
Li Cheng didn't bother to count the other Divine Essence Crystals and simply stored them all in his Heaven and Earth Space.
"Sixth Rank Inferior Dragon Blood Pills, ten bottles, and Seventh Rank Superior Pills, only four bottles... but it's better than nothing."
The combined pill collection of these people was still not as good as that of the young master Ji Haihui.
But of course, their identities were different.
However, Li Cheng was more concerned about the Divine Laws.
Among the gifts from the Hunter Pavilion's killers, there were only sect master ultimate techniques, which were still inferior to Huang Xiliang's, not to mention there were no Martial Saint ultimate techniques.
However, this was mainly because Jin Guang City's geographical location was different, and Huang Xiliang's tasks were also different, so he had more good things.
On the other hand, Li Cheng had a significant harvest from the Corpse God Sect.
The Potala Dragon Nose Devouring Soul Divine Method!
The Six Desires Divine Law of the Nose Fragrance Divine Law!
This brought Li Cheng unexpected joy, as he had now collected one of the Six Desires Divine Laws!
Li Cheng didn't hesitate and, after studying it for a while, directly gave it to his clone to cultivate.
The carriage was spacious, and Li Cheng summoned his Picture Immortal clones, letting them each cultivate on their own.
Even while on the road, cultivation must not stop!
"What a pity, there's only one Nose Fragrance Divine Law. I still need the Eye Sight and Tongue Divine Laws..."
"Those Seven Elemental Embodiments destroyed by the Lotus Cannon could definitely provide those two Divine Laws.
Li Cheng shook his head.
The Heaven and Earth Jade of the Seven Elemental Embodiments, under the massive snowstorm of the Lotus Cannon fired by the main battle tank, was likely to be completely destroyed.
Besides the Divine Law, these assassins and Corpse God Envoys, along with the reserves of the Seven Elemental Divine Armaments, now belonged to Li Cheng.
Unfortunately, none of these Divine Armaments were suitable for Li Cheng's use.
After taking stock of the gains,
Li Cheng's eyes flashed with flowing light.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv4, 50%)]
Li Cheng looked at the slightly increased maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, and his mood was surprisingly calm.
As his strength improved, the maturity provided by killing martial artists and cultivators of the same level would naturally decrease.
Li Cheng shook his head, his eyes flashing.
He wondered if the Corpse God Sect and Hunter Pavilion would continue to stubbornly send more experts.
Before even reaching Dao City, the Corpse God Sect and Hunter Pavilion had helped him improve the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to lv5.
Li Cheng smiled.
Then, he grabbed a piece of Ten Capital Spirit Wood, and a Divine Armament Dagger slid into his fingers.
Inside the carriage, Li Cheng used the Heavenly Chessboard to sense the situation on the road, while also calming his mind and carving wooden sculptures.
...
...
The journey ahead was unexpectedly dull and stable.
The Corpse God Sect was completely stunned, as they had dispatched the Six Ministries Corpse Envoys from the surrounding three provinces and summoned over twenty Seven Elemental Embodiments from various cities.
As a result, they were all wiped out.
This directly shocked the Corpse God Sect's liaison officer, who didn't have time to react.
There was also no time to mobilize other experts to surround the convoy.
As for Hunter Pavilion, besides the five dead Golden Masked Killers, there were still many Silver Masked Killers hiding along the route.
However, since even the five Golden Masked Killers had failed, they didn't dare to come and die.
So, upon learning of the death of the five Golden Masked Killers, they retreated in a panic.
Therefore, the convoy's journey became uneventful, with no more dangers along the way.
The three great families of Golden Light City helped arrange experienced merchants who frequently traveled between Dao City and Golden Light City.
So, with the merchant team taking care of things, the journey was remarkably calm and stable.
Everyone's schedule became more regular.
Every day, besides traveling, Elder Jiao Shaqiu would stop the convoy and give the children about an hour to cultivate.
This hour was used to cultivate martial arts, techniques, and more.
As for the Divine Law, it was cultivated while traveling in the carriage.
Elder Jiao Shaqiu also specially provided the children with Divine Crystals.
Cultivation couldn't be neglected just because of the journey.
The first time they stopped to rest, Xixi jumped off the carriage and ran with Tie Shancai.
Li Cheng, who had been keeping an eye on Tie Shancai, frowned.
When he saw that Tie Shancai willingly let Xixi use him as a target, allowing Xixi to fire pink Gatling Cannon fireworks at him, Li Cheng was speechless.
Tie Shancai knew how to dodge, but he ran straight into Xixi's smallest snowstorm raven.
Although Xixi used the smallest snowstorm raven, it still hurt when it exploded on the body.
At first, Tie Shancai didn't care, but after being bombarded for a while, he became a little addicted.
He let Xixi keep exploding him.
He even swallowed all the flames of the explosions.
From then on, Xixi would find Tie Shancai every day to set off fireworks.
For a while, Gong Yuanliang, Gong Yangxiu, and others felt wronged, as a strong sense of crisis overwhelmed them.
They seemed to have lost favor.
Deep into the night.
The wind and snow howled.
Elder Jiao Shaqiu leaned on his cane, and a group of people sat around the bonfire, which was the Samadhi Fire that Tie Shancai could control the temperature of in real-time.
"The forces within Dao City are far more numerous than those in Golden Light City... The Lingnan Dao City has existed for thousands of years, and there are many thousand-year-old families within the city."
"For example, Yun E is from the Yun family of Dao City. The Yun family has a three-thousand-year history in Lingnan Dao City, and a Divine Embryo Great Deity has emerged from their clan."
Elder Jiao Shaqiu pulled Xixi close, and as she played with the bonfire, she smiled and introduced everyone to the people of Dao City.
Li Cheng, dressed in an ink-black robe, had Zhang Ya leaning on his arm, her head resting on his shoulder, as they listened to Elder Jiao Shaqiu talk about Dao City.
"Elder Jiao, do all these thousand-year-old families in Dao City have a Divine Embryo Great Deity?"
Li Cheng asked.
Elder Jiao Shaqiu glanced at Li Cheng and shook his head, "It's hard to say... These thousand-year-old families have deep roots, and it's uncertain if they truly have a Divine Embryo Great Deity."
"Even the great families themselves aren't clear about it. The Divine Embryo Great Deity rarely makes a move, so the competition among the great families mainly focuses on the Supreme Grandmasters with the Three Flowers blooming and the Divine Essence True Men who have undergone the Soul Core Transformation."
The crackling sound of the bonfire suddenly filled the air, as if everyone was filled with uncertainty.
"In Dao City... there are only a few Divine Embryo Great Deities that are publicly known."
"Our Heavenly Origin Sect has three Divine Embryo Great Deities, and our sect leader is a top-tier expert renowned throughout the Great Jing."
"Besides that, the Dao City Governor's Office, Temple Guardian Office, and Heaven Observation Bureau all have Divine Embryo Great Deities. Additionally, the first family of Dao City, the Su Family, also has a Divine Embryo Great Deity."
"As for the other factions, they might have Divine Embryos stationed, but they don't openly reveal themselves."
"Perhaps, but we are unaware. Only the Great Deity knows, and they wouldn't tell us."
Elder Jiao Shaqiu's expression turned solemn.
He exhaled.
"The entire Dao City... is essentially a chessboard. Only the Great Deities of the Divine Embryos are qualified to place their pieces on this board, and only by achieving the Divine Embryo can one break free."
Elder Jiao Shaqiu spoke in a low voice, not concerned with whether the others understood or not, as if he were venting his inner emotions.
Wang KuYu, Lu Yao, and the others sat quietly, also falling into silence.
In the darkness, the campfire flickered.
Li Cheng's eyes shone brightly, and between his fingers, he held a Pure Heart Chess Piece, absorbing its divinity.
Suddenly, Li Cheng's eyebrows furrowed.
A strong sense of threat flashed through his mind.
That aura...
A Grandmaster of Heaven and Man as One!
He raised his hand and touched his forehead.
His mind connected with the Celestial Chessboard.
It was as if a pair of eyes suddenly opened within a five-hundred-mile radius in the heavens and earth!
However...
That intense sense of threat flashed and then disappeared without a trace.
Li Cheng felt like a confused monk, unable to grasp the situation.
"Disappeared?"
"Showed up and then ran away?"
Li Cheng frowned, sensing the sudden disappearance of the Grandmaster's aura.
For a moment, he was puzzled. In his Celestial Chessboard, whenever a killing intent was revealed, he would be able to lock onto it.
Therefore, if that person appeared again, Li Cheng would surely notice.
Holding his breath and concentrating, Li Cheng also became vigilant, focusing his mind to monitor the situation.
While monitoring, Li Cheng also divided his attention, immersing himself in cultivation.
Inhale—
Exhale—
Li Cheng felt the divinity between heaven and earth becoming increasingly grand.
Compared to the first time he entered the Jin Guang City area, the divinity he sensed was even more grand and turbulent! This was because the number of Strange Temples within the Dao City was much greater than in Jin Guang City.
There were only three Strange Temples in Jin Guang City, but in Dao City... not counting the scattered Eight Extremes and Seven Elemental Strange Temples, there were ten Six Ministries Strange Temples and three Five Elders Strange Temples...
And there was also a Four Divine Strange Temple! Some Strange Temples were native to the area, while others...
Were relocated by the Great Deities of the Divine Embryos through great means, making it more convenient for them to suppress.
Within the Niwan Inner Vision.
Li Cheng's Divine Foundation wheels were spinning excitedly, bursting with divinity. Now, each wheel had reached perfection, only awaiting the arrival of the Temple Deity.
Because the Divine Foundation was astonished, it attracted the Temple Deity, and the Divine Form was formed...
The other Divine Foundations seemed eager to try as well.
However, Li Cheng's primary focus at the moment was still on the Pure Heart Divine Foundation.
The Pure Heart Divine Foundation, fused with the Law of Heaven Earth Spirit Brilliance True Ape Divinity, could draw the Temple Deity from the Heaven-Touching Face into the Divine Foundation.
Once the imprinting was complete, Li Cheng could allow the Pure Heart Divine Foundation to transform into the Divine Form.
...
...
By the rushing river.
A figure stood, holding a scroll, and took out fragrant herbs from a waist pouch, stacking them together, rolling them into a cigarette, lighting it, and biting on the corner.
Inhale—
Exhale—
The white-robed youth held the cigarette, exhaling a hazy cloud of smoke.
Leaning against a large blue stone, he bathed in the gentle breeze, brushing a strand of black hair from his forehead.
He glanced into the distance.
"Almost got discovered by Old Li..."
"You're useless, Erhei. You messed up the job, so no dinner for you."
In the distant sky.
The river erupted with waves, and blood-stained dragon-shaped shadows tumbled within, torn to pieces.
A fierce black dog, transformed into a mountain-sized creature, trampled in the river, roaring like thunder. Upon hearing this, it became filled with grief and anger, biting off the head of a purple Dragon God Clan Dragon with the aura of a Grandmaster of Heaven and Man as One.
It violently shook, tearing the dragon tendons and bones.
Then, it angrily swallowed it whole.
It even burped.
The splattered dragon blood soared into the sky and then exploded.
The blood rained down like a shower.
