Chapter 208: Arrival at Dao City, Here Comes the Netherworld! (Part 1)
The harsh winter gradually faded, and spring gently arrived.
The spring breeze brought warmth, dispelling the deep cold, and the snow and wind ceased as the sky occasionally began to clear.
Along the official road, the old tree branches that had been covered by winter snow for an entire winter began to sprout new buds, emerald green and delicate, greedily absorbing the air between heaven and earth.
On the branches, there were still hanging droplets of the finest spring rain that had not yet fallen.
Whoosh!
The carriage wheels rolled over, splashing mud and water on the ground.
As the first carriage passed by, more carriages and horses followed, leaving two neat tracks on the soft ground where the snow had not yet completely melted.
Li Che sat cross-legged in the carriage, approaching Dao City, and the ride became smoother.
"We've reached the Lingnan Dao City area..."
The reins were pulled, and the dragon horse neighed.
The head of the caravan shouted to the rear, informing everyone of their location.
After nearly a month and a half of rushing at full speed, the group had gone from initial excitement to numbness.
Along the official road, they had seen nothing but snow-covered landscapes, which had become extremely boring.
As the head of the caravan spoke, the curtain on the carriage where the children gathered was lifted.
Several small heads popped out, including Xi Xi, Gong Yuanliang, and Gong Yangyu.
"Wow!!!" Gong Yuanliang and Gong Yangyu exclaimed.
"What's so exciting? We've just entered the Dao City area, and it's still a long way to the city itself, at least five hundred li away," Tie Shancai said dismissively.
Xi Xi also poked her head out, looking into the distance.
On both sides, as far as the eye could see, were vast fields. With the melting snow and the arrival of early spring, the spring breeze not only brought warmth but also moisture. Many farmers were plowing the fields with their oxen, turning over the frozen mud.
Xi Xi jumped out of the carriage and landed on top of it.
With her martial arts cultivation reaching the ninth level of the Fire Dragon Transformation, she had achieved a full level of proficiency, making her movements extremely agile and nimble.
Standing on top of the carriage, Xi Xi faced the spring breeze, which ruffled her small red belly wrap, causing the red rope tied around her hair to flutter in the wind.
Xi Xi stood with her hands on her hips, a bright smile on her face, revealing her white teeth, and her mood was delightful.
Finally, they were about to reach Dao City! She had heard that Elder Master wanted her to prepare well for the selection of the last personal disciple of the sect leader.
Xi Xi was delighted, as it meant there would likely be another battle to fight.
She could set off fireworks again!
Although Tie Shancai had been accompanying her to set off fireworks during this time.
However, Xi Xi had felt bored after setting them off a few times, as she couldn't use her full strength, making it uninteresting.
She had grown tired of it.
It was only when someone provoked Xi Xi that it became interesting again.
Xi Xi could then fight with abandon and unleash her full power!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Tie Shancai, Yun E, and the chubby Zhou Peng also appeared on top of the carriage.
The three children stood on the carriage roof, enjoying the gentle breeze as the carriage slowly moved forward.
"We're finally back in Dao City. In Jin Guang Prefecture, I always felt unsafe and in danger... It was so scary that I lost my appetite," Zhou Peng said, holding a white steamed bun and taking a big bite.
Jin Guang Prefecture gave Zhou Peng and Yun E an indescribable sense of danger.
Inside the carriage.
Li Che sat quietly, his entire body filled with powerful qi and blood, as he had been focusing on rushing the journey.
His mind was completely immersed in cultivation.
At this time, he had cultivated five Divine Essence Auras.
These five Divine Essence Auras were extraordinary, as they were refined from the heart using the Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant technique and the Golden Lung Subduing Gods technique to refine the Golden Lung.
Li Che twisted these two Divine Essence Auras together like a thick rope.
They were incredibly large, and a mysterious fusion occurred between them, resulting in a power far beyond that of ordinary Divine Essence Auras.
Li Che had secretly allowed the White Impermanence, Xue Dufu, to release his Divine Essence Aura to test it.
Xue Dufu, who had been fed and nurtured by Li Che to reach thirty Divine Essence Auras, had his aura clash with Li Che's. However, after only three collisions, Xue Dufu's aura was blasted apart.
Li Che did not retain too many Divine Perceptions and fed the Divine Perceptions of the two Corpse God Envoys from the Corpse Deity Sect to Xue Dufu.
As for the three assassins from the Hunter Pavilion, he assigned them to Black Impermanence to control.
However, there was a limit to the number of Divine Perceptions one could control.
At this time, Li Che could control the Divine Perceptions of approximately seven Grandmasters or Soul Transformation Experts.
Any more would likely result in a loss of control, and if that happened, he would let White Impermanence devour them to grow stronger.
During this month and a half, Li Che's cultivation progress was not too significant.
The main reason was the lack of intense battles, which prevented him from utilizing the maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to enhance his cultivation.
Li Che also found it strange that he had prepared his cannon...
He was ready to go all out to slay the dragon.
However, no dragons appeared.
Not a single one. The dragon lady, Ji Haihui's mother, seemed indifferent to his death, showing no desire for revenge.
Li Che shook his head slightly, not feeling too disappointed.
After all, it was best to avoid any disturbances during the journey, and peace and safety had always been what Li Che sought.
However, Li Che did not relax, as they were approaching Dao City, and at this critical juncture, it would be easy for the other party to find an opportunity.
Perhaps, they were seeking this opportunity?
During this month and a half, Li Che had a very fulfilling time in the carriage.
The entire carriage was packed, and except for the astonishingly divine clone, all his other clones were drawn out and diligently cultivating.
And so, Li Che himself was also working hard to invite the Shrine God from the Qitian Face into his Pure Heart Divine Foundation.
The Heaven-Imagining Earth-Mirroring Divine Enlightenment True Monkey Technique had already been cultivated by Li Che to the Divine Foundation Realm's perfection.
This was mainly achieved through the transformation of his Pure Heart Divine Foundation.
However, the will of the Shrine God within the Qitian Face was extremely powerful, far beyond the capability of the Fire Eye Mysterious Shock Spirit Monkey Shrine God.
After all, this was the will of the Four Empyrean Shrine Gods. Over the past half-month.
Li Che felt that his progress was only halfway there.
Additionally, Li Che was also practicing carving inside the carriage and studying the Tang Family Automaton Record given to him by Tang Sanjia.
He was drawing the Upper Tier Sixth Rank Automaton, the Blood Sun Nine Gods Golden Monkey Ape, and making improvements to it.
"To craft an Upper Tier Sixth Rank automaton, the most challenging part is finding the materials. A large quantity of Blood Sun Wood, a Sixth Rank Superior material, is required... and various other precious divine minerals."
Li Che exhaled.
It was indeed difficult to find the materials.
However, as a second-rank guest minister of the Heavenly Observation Bureau, and with Shangguan Qinghong also being recommended to the Dao City's Heavenly Observation Bureau to work alongside Lu Yao, once she had settled in, Li Che could ask her for help.
As for the Martial Sage's ultimate skill.
Regarding the Primordial Heaven-Spanning Staff, Li Che felt that with some more time, he would naturally master it to the Grandmaster level and grasp the ultimate killing move.
Li Che had also successively mastered the Thousand Mountain Solo Traveling Dao and the Eight Auspicious Steps in the Void to the Great Accomplishment level.
Especially with the Eight Auspicious Steps in the Void, Li Che could now take three steps, and he was close to reaching the Grandmaster level of four steps.
"My Martial Dao talent... is indeed formidable."
Li Che couldn't help but praise himself.
He stretched lazily, and his entire body's tendons and bones resonated, emitting a crackling sound.
Li Che took a piece of Spirit Wood and began carving.
Suddenly.
Li Che's hand gripping the carving knife abruptly paused.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard trembled.
He suddenly sensed an extremely powerful and terrifying aura!
From dozens of miles away, it rushed at a breakneck speed, tearing through the air.
Like lightning, the currents intertwined.
As if resonating with heaven and earth, the person's aura was so strong that it seemed to merge with the heavens and earth.
Li Che reduced the range of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard's influence to fifty li.
Therefore, as soon as this person entered the fifty-li range, Li Che immediately sensed it.
"Expert!"
"A great expert!"
Li Che's eyes shone brightly, and the blood in his body surged. The five paths of the two Divine Essences intertwined into one, and the dual-colored Divine Essences trembled like a dragon.
"A Pre-Heaven Grandmaster of the Unity of Heaven and Man!"
Li Che sensed for a moment and came to a conclusion.
He exhaled slowly.
His eyes opened and closed, revealing a hint of solemnity.
Very powerful...
This was the first time Li Che had seen a true Grandmaster of the Unity of Heaven and Man.
Previously, the will of the Six Ministries Intermediate Corpse God that Yuan Jin Gang summoned was also at this level, but it hadn't descended before Li Che smashed it back.
So, this was the first time they had truly met.
"Very strong... I feel the pressure..."
"The Unity of Heaven and Man, thirty-six Divine Essences, opening three hundred and sixty Heavenly Orifices..."
"The human body's meridians and orifices are connected as one, linking heaven and earth, drawing in the energy of heaven and earth to temper the human body's Grand Elixir, gathering the Pre-Heaven energy... this is the Unity of Heaven and Man, the Pre-Heaven Grandmaster!"
Li Che's eyes flashed, and every inch of his body trembled slightly, filled with intense battle intent that surged wildly from his chest.
After a moment, he calmed down.
The caravan continued on its journey, tearing through the slightly chilly spring rain, and galloped along the gradually widening official road.
After running for more than a month, the dragon horses were still full of energy. They needed to release their energy through running, and such a long journey was nothing to them.
The caravan didn't travel for long.
Suddenly, the dragon horses stopped uneasily, not daring to step on the ground.
Even the spring rain seemed to freeze.
The breeze blew, and the carriage curtain fluttered.
The curtain was lifted, and Jiao Shao Qiu leaned forward, slowly stepping out of the carriage. His Divine Essence stirred the airflow, whistling as it swirled, making Jiao Shao Qiu's ancient robe flutter.
Sitting on the carriage's yoke, the driver Nie Yang also reached out and grabbed the handle of the bronze sword wrapped in rags. His eyes were sharp, and his sword intent surged, brimming with battle intent.
"Here it comes."
Sitting next to Nie Yang, Li Cheng Zhou's face turned red from the powerful airflow generated by Jiao Shao Qiu. He hurriedly reached out to hold down his bamboo hat.
The next moment.
Li Cheng Zhou seemed to turn stiffly and looked towards the distant sky.
There, the spring rain seemed to part like a stage curtain, slowly pulling to the sides.
A figure appeared, surrounded by Divine Essences and blood, and countless blood-colored currents exploded, transforming into a blood-colored electric current dragon that enveloped the figure as it flew through the air.
The Martial Dao will was so powerful that it seemed to darken the sky, making it impossible to see any radiance.
In just an instant, Li Cheng Zhou felt his vision go black, nearly fainting from the impact of the Martial Dao will.
However, a hand landed on his shoulder, and he saw his taciturn driver, with his hair and beard flying in the wind, pat him. Li Cheng Zhou felt all the oppressive pressure disappear.
"This is the Martial Dao will of a Pre-Heaven Grandmaster of the Unity of Heaven and Man..."
Nie Yang briefly introduced.
"Don't look directly, you're still too weak."
Li Cheng Zhou obediently lowered his head.
The next moment, a thunderous sound of breaking through the air echoed, and the figure surrounded by blood-colored electric current dragons arrived with a roar.
Inside the carriage.
Three powerful figures, Wang Kuyu, Lu Yao, and Zhu Chaoyang, appeared and stood atop the carriage's roof.
Li Che lifted the curtain and stepped out, taking a seat on the carriage's front.
Whoosh!
A fierce gust of wind howled, causing a commotion on the official road, stirring up a fierce gale.
High above, a figure with blood-red energy swirling around them like a whip descended rapidly, their speed so fast that it seemed as if the very essence of Heaven and Earth was connected to them, forming a unique resonance.
The figure landed, and the invisible airflow dissipated slowly, gradually fading into nothingness.
Jiao Shao Qiu stood with his hands behind his back, his withered face like old wood, bearing a solemn expression.
"The eighth on the Inner Gate's true transmission list, Wei He..."
Jiao Shao Qiu's gaze fell on the robust figure leading the group.
The newcomer was tall and muscular, wearing a dark blue robe, his well-built muscles exposed.
"Elder Jiao."
Jiao Shao Qiu nodded, his eyes shifting to Wei He: "You're also under Elder Ji's true transmission, right?"
Wei He smiled and clenched his fist in greeting: "Indeed, I'm under Fourth Elder's true transmission. I was sent to welcome Little Sister into Dao City."
The carriages accompanying them revealed curious onlookers, their heads poking out.
However, before Wei He could respond, Jiao Shao Qiu's eyes suddenly flashed with intense sharpness.
Even facing a Pre-Heaven Grandmaster alone, he showed no hint of retreat or diminished spirit.
"Little Sister? Who gave you the right to call her that?!"
Boom!
An overwhelming primordial spirit rose from behind Jiao Shao Qiu, and a dazzling golden light burst forth, brilliant and dazzling.
