Chapter 207: The Secret Protection from the Big Black Dog, a New Chess Player Arrives in Dao City (Part 2)
With the Heaven and Earth Chessboard constantly monitoring, Li Che would be the first to know if any experts with the unity of heaven and man or the Golden Body Transformation appeared.
Breathing in and out, he smelled the scent of the wood piled in the carriage, and his mind relaxed slightly.
"The Corpse Deity Sect... they're determined to bring about their own destruction, 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 set his sights on Xi Xi... unforgivable."
Li Che was determined to kill the demon child, who had impure intentions towards Xi Xi.
Most likely, the demon child was after the Divine Shrine's divine essence within Xi Xi's body, treating her as a vessel for the shrine's divine essence. How could Li Che tolerate this?
For his daughter's safety and future, Li Che had to find a way to eliminate this demon child!
It's not the thief you fear, but the one who covets what you have.
Li Che had to solve this problem at its root!
On this trip to Dao City, Li Che had one more person to kill.
Su Hu Li from the Corpse Deity Sect was one, and this demon child was another...
"The Corpse Deity Sect and I... it seems we have a deep-rooted grudge."
Developing the Netherworld to counter the Corpse Deity Sect, Li Che slowly exhaled, his fingers coming together to tear open the void.
He had obtained a total of five Heaven-Earth Jade pieces, three from the Hunter Pavilion's golden-faced assassins and two from the Corpse Deity Sect's Six Ministries Corpse God Envoys.
After counting them one by one, a faint smile appeared in Li Che's eyes.
There were eight Six Ministries Divine Essences and thirty-six Seven Elements Divine Essences, which was understandable given that they were the collections of five people.
Li Che didn't bother to count the other divine essences, storing them all in his Heaven-Earth Space.
"Ten bottles of lower-grade Six-Tier Dragon Blood Martial Pills and only four bottles of upper-grade Seven-Tier Martial Pills... but it's better than nothing."
The combined collection of these people's martial pills was still less than that of the young prince, Ji Haihui.
Of course, Li Che was more interested in the divine techniques.
The gifts from the Hunter Pavilion's assassins were only Grandmaster-level techniques, falling short of Huang Xi Long's collection, which didn't even include the Martial Sage's ultimate technique.
However, the main reason for the difference was the unique location of Jin Guang Prefecture and the different tasks Huang Xi Long had to undertake, which resulted in him having more valuable items.
Li Che had made a significant gain from the Corpse Deity Sect.
He obtained the technique 'Nose-Smelling Divine Technique' from the Six Desires Divine Techniques!
Li Che was pleasantly surprised to have obtained another one of the Six Desires Divine Techniques. Without hesitation, he studied it briefly before passing it to his clones for cultivation.
The carriage was spacious, and Li Che summoned all his clones from the painting, allowing them to cultivate while on the move.
"It's a pity that I only have the Nose-Smelling Divine Technique. I still lack the Eye-Seeing and Tongue-Tasting Divine Techniques..."
"Those Seven Elements Corpse God Envoys, who were destroyed by the Guanyin Lotus Shell, must have had those two divine techniques."
Li Che shook his head.
The Heaven-Earth Jade of the Seven Elements Corpse God Envoys were likely to be completely destroyed under the massive snow avalanche of the Guanyin Lotus Shell fired by the Bodhimanda Main Battle Tank.
Apart from the Divine Techniques, these assassins and Corpse God Envoys, along with their Seven Elements Divine Armament reserves, now belonged to Li Che.
Unfortunately, none of these Divine Armaments were suitable for Li Che's use.
After taking inventory of their gains, Li Che's eyes flashed with a fleeting light.
【Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (Lv. 4, 50%)】
Li Che looked at the slightly increased maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit and felt rather calm.
As his strength improved, the maturity gained from killing Martial Artists and Cultivators of the same level would naturally decrease.
Li Che shook his head, his eyes glinting.
He wondered if the Corpse Deity Sect and Hunter Pavilion would still stubbornly send more experts along the way.
Before even reaching Dao City, the Corpse Deity Sect and Hunter Pavilion had helped him raise the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to Lv. 5.
Li Che smiled.
Then, he grabbed a piece of ten-city Spirit Wood and a Divine Armament dagger slid into his palm.
Inside the carriage, Li Che used the Heaven and Earth Chessboard to sense the situation on the road while quietly carving wood.
...
...
The journey ahead was unexpectedly dull and stable.
The Corpse Deity Sect was thoroughly stunned, as they had mobilized the Six Ministries Corpse God Envoys from the surrounding three states and also summoned over twenty Seven Elements Corpse God Envoys from various mansions.
But... they were all wiped out.
This sudden strike left the Corpse Deity Sect's liaison officer in shock.
There was no time to mobilize other experts to surround the convoy.
As for Hunter Pavilion, in addition to the five deceased Golden Face assassins, there were also many Silver Face assassins hiding along the route.
However, with five Golden Face assassins falling, they didn't dare to come and die.
So, upon learning of the five Golden Face assassins' deaths, they fled in panic.
Thus, the convoy's journey became uneventful, with no more dangers lurking.
The three major families of Jin Guang Prefecture helped arrange experienced caravans that frequently traveled between Dao City and Jin Guang Prefecture.
So, with the caravans taking care of things, the journey became exceptionally smooth and stable.
Everyone's daily routine became more regular.
Every day, in addition to traveling, Jiao Shao Qiu would stop the convoy, giving the children about an hour to cultivate.
This hour was used for cultivating Martial Arts, techniques, and more.
As for Divine Cultivation, they practiced while traveling in the carriage.
Jiao Shao Qiu specifically provided Divine Crystals for the children.
One couldn't neglect cultivation just because of traveling.
During the first rest stop, Xi Xi jumped off the carriage and ran with Tie Shan Cai.
Li Che, who had been keeping an eye on Tie Shan Cai, frowned.
When he saw that Tie Shan Cai willingly became Xi Xi's target, allowing Xi Xi to use the pink Fire God Gatling to shoot fireworks at him, Li Che was speechless.
Tie Shan Cai knew how to dodge, but after being bombarded for a while, he seemed to become addicted.
He let Xi Xi keep blasting him, even swallowing the exploding flames into his stomach.
From then on, Xi Xi would find Tie Shan Cai every day to set off fireworks together.
For a while, Gong Yuanliang, Gong Yangyu, 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.
Jiao Shao Qiu leaned on his cane, and the group sat around the bonfire, which was the Samadhi Fire that Tie Shan Cai could control the temperature of.
"The powers within Dao City are far more numerous than Jin Guang Prefecture... Lingnan Dao City has existed for thousands of years, and there are many millennium-old families within the city."
"For example, Yun E is from the Yun family in Dao City, who have a three-thousand-year history, and have produced a Divine Embryo Great God."
Jiao Shao Qiu held Xi Xi, who was playing with the bonfire, and introduced the group to the affairs of Dao City.
Li Che, in his ink-colored robe, had Zhang Ya leaning on his arm, her head resting on his shoulder, as they listened to Elder Jiao Shao Qiu's stories.
"Elder Jiao, do all these millennium-old families in Dao City have Divine Embryo Great Gods?" Li Che asked.
Jiao Shao Qiu glanced at Li Che and shook his head. "It's hard to say... These millennium-old families have deep roots, and it's uncertain if they have Divine Embryo Great Gods."
"Even the families themselves aren't clear, as Divine Embryo Great Gods rarely take action, so the competition among the families mainly focuses on the confrontations between the top-tier Grandmasters with three flowers blooming at the crown and the Divine Essence Grandmasters who have transformed their Primordial Spirit."
The sound of crackling filled the bonfire, as if expressing uncertainty.
"There are only a few Divine Embryo Great Gods in Dao City."
"Our Qianyuan Divine Sect has three Divine Embryo Great Gods, and our Sect Master is a top-tier expert renowned throughout the Great Realm."
"Additionally, the Dao City Prefecture, Temple Governor, and Heavenly Observation Bureau all have Divine Embryo experts. Furthermore, the first family of Dao City, the Su family, also has a Divine Embryo ancestor."
"As for other forces, they might have Divine Embryos stationed, but none have openly revealed themselves."
"Perhaps, but we are unaware. The Grandmasters know, but they won't share such information with us."
Jiao Shaoqiu's expression turned solemn.
He took a deep breath.
"The entire Dao City... is essentially a chessboard. Only the Grandmasters of the Divine Embryos are qualified to place their pieces on this chessboard. Only by achieving the Divine Embryo can one break free."
Jiao Shaoqiu spoke in a low voice, seemingly more of an emotional release than a concern for whether others understood.
Wang Kuyi, Lu Yao, and the others sat quietly, also falling into silence.
In the darkness, the campfire flickered.
Li Che's eyes sparkled, and between his fingers, he held a Pure Heart chess piece, absorbing its divine essence.
"A chess player?"
...
...
Within the body of the Dragon Horse, the bloodline of the Dragon flowed, belonging to the species of demons.
Thus, whether it was speed, endurance, or agility, it far surpassed ordinary horses.
Fearing that the caravan might encounter another assassination attempt, Jiao Shaoqiu had the Dragon Horses driven to their limits during their journey.
Unconsciously, a month and a half passed.
With this full-speed travel, they were getting closer and closer to the Dao City region.
As they approached Dao City, Jiao Shaoqiu's expression grew more solemn. The closer they got, the more likely it was for powerful cultivators to appear.
Grandmasters of Unity with Heaven and Earth, or Golden Body Transformation Realized Beings, might make an appearance.
The closer they were to their destination, the more vigilant they had to be.
Experienced hunters often struck when their prey let down their guard.
Inside the carriage.
Li Che held a Six Ministries Divine Crystal in his palm, absorbing the divine essence within.
Suddenly, Li Che's eyebrows furrowed.
A strong sense of threat flashed through his mind.
That aura...
A Grandmaster of Unity with Heaven and Earth!
He raised his hand and touched his brow.
His mind connected to the Heavenly Dao Chessboard.
It was as if a pair of eyes suddenly opened within a five-hundred-mile radius in the world!
However...
The intense sense of threat flashed by and then disappeared.
Li Che also felt a sense of confusion.
"Gone?"
"Just a glimpse and then gone?"
Li Che furrowed his brows, sensing the sudden disappearance of the innate Grandmaster's aura.
For a moment, he was perplexed. In his Heavenly Dao Chessboard, any hint of killing intent would be detected by him.
So, if that person appeared again, Li Che would surely notice.
Holding his breath and focusing, Li Che also became vigilant, carefully monitoring the situation.
While monitoring, Li Che also divided his attention, immersing himself in cultivation.
Inhaling—
Exhaling—
Li Che felt the divine essence between heaven and earth becoming increasingly vast and vibrant.
Compared to the first time he entered the region of the Jin Guang Prefecture, the divine essence he sensed was even more vibrant and restless! This was because the number of strange temples within the Dao City was far greater than in the Jin Guang Prefecture.
The Jin Guang Prefecture only had three strange temples, but in Dao City... not counting the scattered Eight Extremes and Seven Elements temples, there were ten Six Ministries temples, and three Five Elders temples...
And there was also a Four Sovereigns temple! Some temples were native to the region, while others...
Were brought by the Divine Embryos, using great means to relocate them, in order to better suppress the area.
Within the Niwan Palace in his mind.
Each round of Li Che's Divine Foundation was excitedly pulsating, emitting a vibrant divine essence. Now, every round of his Divine Foundation had reached perfection, and he only needed the Shrine God to take its place.
With an astounding Divine Foundation, he could attract the Shrine God, and observe the Divine Form...
The other Divine Foundations seemed eager to try as well.
However, Li Che's primary goal was still the Pure Heart Divine Foundation.
The Pure Heart Divine Foundation had merged with the Heaven-Imagining Earth-Mirroring Divine Enlightenment Monkey Technique's divine essence. By connecting with the Qitian Face, he could allow the Shrine God to enter his Divine Foundation.
Once imprinted, Li Che could transform the Pure Heart Divine Foundation into a Divine Form.
...
...
By the flowing river.
A figure stood, holding a scroll, and took out some fragrant herbs from his waist pouch. He rolled them into a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff, the smoke curling around his lips.
Inhaling—
Exhaling—
The white-robed youth held the cigarette, exhaling a hazy cloud of smoke.
Leaning against a large green stone, bathed in the gentle breeze.
Glancing into the distance.
"Almost got caught by the old man."
"Second, you're not doing a good job. No dinner for you."
In the distant sky.
The river surged with waves, and a blood-stained dragon-shaped figure lay within, its form distorted.
A massive, ferocious black dog stood in the river, its low growl thunderous like muffled thunder. Upon hearing this, it burst with rage, biting off the head of a purple Dragon God, a Dragon whose body had reached Unity with Heaven and Earth.
It violently shook its head, tearing the dragon's tendons and bones.
Then, it swallowed it in one gulp.
Followed by a loud burp.
The splattered dragon blood soared into the sky, then exploded.
The scattered blood fell like snowflakes.
