Chapter 219: Heaven and Earth Tremble, Xi Xi Enters the Dragon Pupa List

Chapter 219: Heaven and Earth Tremble, Xi Xi Enters the Dragon Pupa List

Boom!

The spring rain was torn apart, and a raging and scorching divine nature bloomed like a black fire lotus between heaven and earth.

With each breath, the golden Heavenly King Tower's courtyard was enveloped by the spring rain, which then evaporated under the scorching heat. As the spring breeze blew, the evaporated rain turned into a thin mist, spreading and swirling across the entire courtyard.

The mist began to rotate, forming a massive vortex.

Everyone saw the divine nature rising from the center of the mist, forming a blurry silhouette of Xi Xi, resembling a divine nature avatar.

With six arms and two heads, one face was furious, its complexion slightly greenish, and two small fangs like tiger teeth.

The other face was laughing, its complexion red, and its face also had red hair like fire.

It seemed to be standing in place, constantly rotating in a ring-like manner.

The six arms were either straight, bent, clenched into fists, or holding a sword finger, each in a different pose.

The mist churned, driven by the surging air currents, creating gusts of wind and bursts of energy.

The divine nature's rank and pressure intensified, spreading out in waves.

Boom!

The air currents churned, and countless raindrops splashed, creating ripples that spread in a ring-like pattern.

The parked carriages swayed in the wind.

Inside one carriage, Zhang Ya's face turned pale as she grabbed Li Che's shoulder. "What's happening to Xi Xi?"

"Will Xi Xi be okay? She looks so painful."

Worry was evident in Zhang Ya's eyes.

Seeing her little daughter in such agony, her heart ached as if it were being carved out.

Li Che patted Zhang Ya's arm, reassuring her.

"Xi Xi is attempting to break through the Divine Foundation Realm. Her Divine Foundation is different from ordinary people's; it's based on the Three Pure Divine Nature Technique, which is quite challenging. But for Xi Xi, it's not a big issue."

"This is just the beginning."

Li Che spoke gently, infusing his words with divine sense to calm Zhang Ya's anxiety.

Zhang Ya gradually relaxed, but her eyes remained tense.

"Xi Xi's physical body is strong, and this Divine Foundation won't harm her."

Li Che smiled.

Beside them, Jiao Shaoqiu's eyes also revealed a look of surprise.

"A divine symbol appears before the Divine Foundation is complete!"

"This 'Six-Armed, Two-Headed' divine symbol contains an extremely powerful divine nature. If Xi Xi can successfully condense her Divine Foundation and suppress this divine nature, it will be a great benefit for her!"

"When Xi Xi breaks through the Three Pure Divine Symbols in the future and forges the 'Eight-Armed, Three-Faced' Great Divine Symbol, this will provide significant assistance!"

Jiao Shaoqiu said, his eyes narrowed in concentration.

In fact, he hadn't expected Xi Xi to be able to evoke a divine symbol.

Practicing the Three Pure Divine Nature Technique, she had managed to evoke a divine symbol during the forging of her Divine Foundation.

This indicated that Xi Xi had a profound understanding of the extremely challenging 'Eight-Armed, Three-Faced Lotus of Immortality Unbreakable Divine Foundation Technique.'

Her insight was deep!

Jiao Shaoqiu couldn't help but marvel at the innate talent of this divine child, whose resonance with the temple god was extremely high.

Due to the rarity of divine symbols, Jiao Shaoqiu wasn't entirely sure if Xi Xi could withstand the power contained within.

All he could do was release his primordial spirit to observe Xi Xi's current state, ready to intervene if he noticed any abnormalities, to prevent Xi Xi from suffering severe backlash.

Forging the Divine Foundation was a significant event for a divine nature cultivator, establishing the foundation for their cultivation.

If outsiders interfered too much, it would only affect the quality of the Divine Foundation.

This would be a devastating blow to Xi Xi's future.

Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, wave after wave of powerful auras rose from the distance, spreading across the area.

Jiao Shaoqiu's golden primordial spirit hovered in the sky, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

These auras automatically subdued as they approached, to avoid disturbing Xi Xi's breakthrough.

Li Che's brow slightly moved, and the Heaven and Earth Chessboard expanded subtly.

He discovered that these newcomers were not weak; they were Divine Essence True Persons, and among them were even Golden Body Transformation Cultivators who had forged their golden bodies.

Undoubtedly, these newcomers were the Outer Sect Elders of the Qianyuan Divine Sect that Jiao Shaoqiu had asked Nie Yang to notify.

"Elder, we heard that a divine child is breaking through the Divine Foundation using the Three Pure Technique. What should we do?"

"We're here to witness the ceremony."

Someone stood on a cloud, with a child by their side.

One, two, three...

Their numbers continued to grow.

Some arrived on flying swords, while others rode on swirling branches and surging water...

All were displaying their divine nature secrets, putting on an impressive show.

What caught the eye was that each of them had a child by their side, who appeared to be the focus of this ceremony.

Jiao Shaoqiu nodded slightly.

"You all know the rules of witnessing a ceremony, so I won't repeat them."

As the Outer Sect Elder, although Jiao Shaoqiu was about to retire and had suffered a drop in cultivation due to his injury, his seniority and status were undeniable, and no one dared to be disrespectful.

Jiao Shaoqiu's primordial spirit scanned the area, its eyes opening and closing.

He frowned slightly, "Only you have come, and not a single Inner Sect Elder or divine child from the Dragon Pupa List has shown up?"

Nie Yang returned, expressionless, his sword sheathed without a sound.

"They said they'll wait until Xi Xi enters the Dragon Pupa List."

Nie Yang replied softly.

Jiao Shaoqiu's withered face showed no disappointment, "That's true. Although breaking through the Divine Foundation using the Three Pure Technique might not be that attractive to the divine children on the Dragon Pupa List."

"Although Xi Xi suppressed many divine children in the Golden Heavenly King Tower's Temple God's resonance, her reputation in the city is not well-known."

"Forget it... They'll get anxious when Xi Xi threatens them."

Jiao Shaoqiu had intended for Xi Xi to stimulate these divine children, hoping to motivate them for the upcoming Grand Master Divine's personal disciple assessment.

The disciples of the Qianyuan Divine Sect were vying for the coveted position of becoming the personal disciple of the Sect Master.

Jiao Shaoqiu paid no more attention to these people, as even some of the Divine Children on the Dragonling Rank could be a source of stimulation.

Yun E and Zhou Peng had also arrived.

Zhou Peng followed Wang Kuyu, who wore a gentle smile and a Daoist robe, his whisk gently swaying.

Yun E accompanied a female cultivator in a goose-yellow long skirt, her beautiful face indicating that she was an Outer Sect Elder and a senior member of the Yun Clan, one of the thousand-year-old noble families, within the Divine Sect.

The vast square around the Golden Heavenly King Tower was packed with people.

All eyes were on the small figure of Xixi in the center, witnessing the process of her Divine Foundation!

Advancing from Tempering Nature Like a River to the Divine Foundation was not an easy task and was extremely dangerous.

At this stage, the Divine Nature had not yet given birth to a Divine Soul, making the cultivator's consciousness highly susceptible to the influence of the Divine Nature, even to the point of confusion and falling into chaos.

In Flying Thunder City, countless disciples from noble families had stalled at this very step of forging the Divine Foundation.

Many failed to succeed, their bodies taken over by the Divine Nature, leading to madness and eventual annihilation.

As gazes swept across, they landed on Xixi, who had manifested a small Divine Form with six arms and two faces through the power of the Divine Nature!

Many Divine Children's faces underwent subtle changes.

A small Divine Form?!

No...

Is this a breakthrough in the Divine Foundation?

If she couldn't suppress this small Divine Form, this little girl might not only fail to forge the Divine Foundation but also risk being controlled by the small Divine Form!

Ultimately, she might become a slave to the Divine Nature, and even if rescued, her life... would be ruined forever!

This was why many cultivators discouraged the practice of Divinity Techniques that were too advanced for their current level.

Without the power to control it, cultivating beyond one's capacity could lead to backlash.

The Three Pure Ones Divine Foundation Technique... was not absent within the Divine Sect's main gate.

However, only a few, those ranked in the top ten of the Dragonlet List, had successfully forged the Three Pure Ones Divine Foundation. Only the top-ranked cultivators on the Dragonlet List could achieve this feat.

For a moment, many Divine Children's gazes turned playful.

To watch a ceremony?

A funeral ceremony?!

Suddenly, numerous Divine Children exclaimed in surprise.

They turned to look and saw several streams of light descending at the edge of the Golden Heavenly King Tower's square.

Among them, Wei He, the Great Grand Master who had escorted the Jin Guang City convoy into Dao City, was accompanied by a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Is that Zhong Yuhuo, ranked tenth on the Dragonlet List? It seems he has already become an Inner Sect disciple under the Fourth Elder!"

"And Zhuo Banxiang, ranked ninth on the Dragonlet List! She has also become an Inner Sect disciple under the Third Elder!"

"Is that Chi Chengyan? Ranked eighth on the Dragonlet List?"

Suddenly...

Everyone's voices trembled.

"Is that the Divine Child of the first noble family in Dao City, Su Chuyang, ranked third on the Dragonlet List? How did he get here?!"

Many Divine Children exclaimed in surprise, their gazes turning towards the distance.

...

...

Li Che naturally sensed the thoughts of these Divine Children who had been brought to witness the ceremony, each with a hint of anticipation for a spectacle.

It seemed that after Xixi condensed the small Divine Form, they didn't hold much hope for her breakthrough.

Amidst the exclamations, Li Che also spotted several Divine Children ranked on the Inner Sect's Dragonlet List.

Being on this list meant they had attained the Divine Foundation and had received the acknowledgment of the Sect's Heavenly Essence Scroll.

"Ranked third on the Dragonlet List?"

Even Li Che was drawn to this title.

He turned to look and saw a small figure standing on the carriage pole of a luxurious horse-drawn carriage parked in the distance.

The tiny figure, dressed in white, held an oil-paper umbrella.

For a fleeting moment, Li Che felt a sense of dizziness...

"Su Hu Li?"

Li Che's eyes narrowed.

This child bore a striking resemblance to Su Hu Li.

"The Divine Child of the first noble family in Qianyuan Dao City, the Su Clan?"

Li Che composed himself.

The Su Hu Li he had just killed was also from the Su Clan, although of a lesser branch.

Su Hu Li had maintained a good relationship with the Su Clan.

Before killing Su Hu Li, Li Che had inquired about this and even prepared for such a possibility.

However, Su Hu Li had clearly trusted You Liqing's strength and had not anticipated his inability to protect him.

"The noble families in Qianyuan Dao City are led by one supreme family and three great ones. The Su Clan is a three-thousand-year-old noble family, while the Zhou Clan, Zhong Clan, and Yun Clan are only thousand-year-old noble families."

Li Che slowly withdrew his gaze, no longer interested in the child who resembled Su Hu Li.

As Li Che turned away, a faint voice emerged from within the carriage.

"Chuyang, come into the carriage."

Su Chuyang hesitated for a moment before climbing back into the carriage.

Inside, an elderly man sat with a profound and powerful aura, his ancient robe resembling Jiao Shaoqiu's.

"Just now... there was killing intent."

"Although it wasn't directed at you, it involved you..."

The old man spoke softly.

"Just watch from inside the carriage... This young girl, from Jin Guang City, is the daughter of Gaiya, who surpassed the son of the Demon King Li, and the fallen prince. She has become the successor of the Third Prince's Temple Deity."

"Her breakthrough into the Divine Foundation is worth watching. You can observe."

"Your primary goal remains to become a direct disciple under the Grand Master."

Upon hearing this, Su Chuyang respectfully clenched his fists.

...

...

Xixi's face turned crimson, her third eye at the Pineal Palace throbbing. The black Lotus Jail Divine Symbol suddenly appeared, as if black flames were erupting from within.

A black fire lotus formed around her, and as she looked up, thin mist swirled around her, her gaze fixed on the six-armed, two-faced small Divine Form!

Xixi knew that to forge her Divine Foundation, she must suppress this small Divine Form and integrate it into her own Divine Foundation.

Only then could she consider her attempt a success.

Failure meant defeat!

Forging the Divine Foundation was a challenge to herself! Xixi believed in herself and knew she could do it!

Boom!

Xixi's arms, slender like lotus stems, trembled and her fists clenched, revealing faint shadows of the Purple Flame Snake Spear, Fire God Dragon Fang, and Golden Brick on her arms!

"Come!"

"Hit me!"

Xixi's qi and blood surged, and as a qi meridian was pierced, her aura exploded. She stepped on the mist and charged forward.

With a mighty swing, she punched towards the little divine form with six arms and two faces!

A reckless and chaotic move!

Boom!

As she punched, the air seemed to wail under the immense pressure, and a scorching wind rose from her strike, swirling uncontrollably.

The little divine form with its green face and glaring eyes opened its mouth to roar, and amidst the powerful divine fluctuations, a fake spear made of purple flame snake spear fire tip materialized, aiming directly at Xi Xi.

In an instant, the spear's light rushed towards Xi Xi, like a raging wind, sealing off the airflow around her.

But Xi Xi let out a shout, and her fist smashed forward with raw power.

Thud!

There was no technique involved!

The fist and spear collided, and the little divine form with its green face and fangs trembled, causing the illusion of the purple flame snake spear fire tip to shatter. Then, a Yin Shen Sword appeared, but it too was smashed by Xi Xi's punch.

Xi Xi, now wielding a divine armament, had further strengthened her physical body to the level of a sect master, making her fearless.

She relentlessly pounded, and with the power of a genuine divine armament, Xi Xi was unstoppable.

The little divine form mustered its final resistance, and from its six arms, divine armaments materialized, spinning towards Xi Xi.

Xi Xi, however, kicked her foot upwards.

Accompanied by the whirring and vibrating hum of the wind, fire, and golden light wheel, sparks flew.

The wind, fire, and golden light wheel, a true divine armament, emerged from Xi Xi's foot and crushed the little divine form in an instant.

In a flash, the little divine form was flattened, transforming into a divine essence that fell like a torrent, forming a black lotus platform the size of a grinding wheel.

On the surface of the platform, an image of the little divine form with six arms and two faces was even engraved.

The pitch-black flames soared into the sky.

Xi Xi stood with her hands on her hips, her little belly protruding, and excitedly turned to look at Li Che and Zhang Ya.

"Daddy, Mommy! Xi Xi did it!"

Xi Xi stood with her hands on her hips, a lotus platform-shaped divine base floating behind her, emitting rolling black flames.

A smile appeared on Li Che's face.

As he had expected, there was little suspense, no technique involved, and it was almost a one-sided crushing...

With three divine armaments within her, Xi Xi's physical body was incredibly powerful, and the little divine form couldn't suppress her.

Now Li Che was worried about how to gather the complete set of divine armaments for Xi Xi if she truly mastered the 'Eight-Armed Three-Faced' divine martial technique. With eight arms, she would need eight divine armaments, and it wouldn't look good to have only two.

As a father, Li Che had his work cut out for him. He needed to find an opportunity to help Xi Xi gather the other divine armaments of the Third Prince.

"The Heaven and Earth Ring is in the Dragon Abyss Dao..."

"My Heaven and Earth Chessboard contains a Yin Shen Sword, but it holds too much of Ji Mo Li's martial will. Once I completely erase the will of the Martial Saint within it, I can give it to her."

Li Che's mind began to race, already planning how to gather the complete set of divine armaments for his daughter.

Beside him, Zhang Ya let out a long sigh of relief.

"She did it! Xi Xi succeeded!"

"Husband! Our Xi Xi, at the age of four, has forged her divine base!"

Zhang Ya couldn't quite believe it, feeling a bit dizzy with excitement.

Could the daughter she gave birth to be so powerful?!

Jiao Shaoqiu, whose primordial spirit had just returned to his body, also smiled in astonishment.

He had thought that suppressing the little divine form might not be an easy task for Xi Xi.

But Xi Xi completely overwhelmed the little divine form, and the test of the Three Pure Ones' divine base technique held no challenge for this little girl.

"The second round of the wind, fire, and golden light wheel... This little girl can actually control it to some extent!"

"No wonder it was so easy."

Jiao Shaoqiu also heaved a sigh of relief.

Indeed, calling people to witness this event was the right decision.

This little girl was incredibly compatible with this divine armament.

Jiao Shaoqiu's eyes sparkled, and an idea formed in his mind.

"The wind, fire, and golden light wheel is a pair... How can they be separated?"

"Since Xi Xi is so compatible with this divine armament, can we convince those stubborn old fellows to give the wind, fire, and golden light wheel to Xi Xi?"

Jiao Shaoqiu's thoughts became bolder.

With so many witnesses to Xi Xi's achievement, they could vouch for her when she enters the inner sect. Perhaps she could truly succeed! Of course, Jiao Shaoqiu knew how difficult this task would be.

After all, one of those old fellows had his eyes on the wind, fire, and golden light wheel, wanting to obtain this Four Virtues divine armament to break through to a higher realm.

Boom!

Just as everyone was astonished by Xi Xi's effortless forging of her divine base using the Three Pure Ones' technique, the entire sect gate shook with a thunderous roar.

Everyone looked towards the direction of the sect gate inscription.

On the inscription, a domineering and deep dragon's roar exploded, piercing through the sky.

"Heaven and Earth Tremor, Dragonlet Soars!"

"The Dragonlet List has undergone a major change!"

"Could it be... Could this four-year-old girl have entered the Dragonlet List right after forging her divine base?"

Many of the children present were amazed.

Jiao Shaoqiu watched the disappearing phenomenon, and a brilliant smile appeared on his weathered face.

"Nie Yang, go to the sect gate and copy the new Dragonlet List."

Nie Yang bowed and then transformed into a sword light, swiftly dashing towards the gate.

Some of the outer sect elders who had come to witness the event couldn't contain their excitement and hurried towards the sect gate.

The spring rain pattered down, creating a serene atmosphere.

The vast golden tower plaza became lively as the children brought to witness Xi Xi's divine base forging couldn't contain their excitement, chattering non-stop.

Xi Xi, feeling elated after forging her divine base, was in high spirits.

Xi Xi had grown stronger, and with a little more growth, she would be able to resist her father's punches."

Li Che rubbed Xi Xi's head, picked her up, and allowed his pure heart divine essence to flow, helping her regulate her qi and blood, as well as the divine essence fluctuations caused by the forging of the lotus jail divine base.

A moment passed.

The distant spring rain was like a curtain, being sliced open.

At the forefront, Nie Yang swiftly rode his flying sword, returning and landing on the ground. His powerful aura surged, causing the rain to rage uncontrollably.

"Elder Jiao, the Dragon Pupil List has indeed been updated."

Nie Yang handed over the latest copy of the Dragon Pupil List to Jiao Shaoqiu.

Jiao Shaoqiu hurriedly took it.

Li Che scanned it with his divine sense, his gaze also falling upon the list, and he clearly saw the names.

"Dragon Pupil List, first place, Lu Qingxuan, nine years old."

"Dragon Pupil List, second place, Yang Yi, nine years old."

"Dragon Pupil List, third place, Li Nuanxi, four years old."

...

Third place on the Dragon Pupil List!

Xi Xi ranked third on the Dragon Pupil List?!

Even Li Che was slightly surprised, feeling both amazed and delighted! Elder Jiao's cloudy eyes also revealed a hint of disbelief.

"Third place?"

Although Elder Jiao had great confidence in Xi Xi's talent, this sudden leap to third place caught him off guard.

This ranking was too high! No wonder it had caused a stir in the Heavenly Scroll, with a Dragon Pupil soaring to the heavens.

It meant that a hidden dragon had emerged from the depths, astonishing everyone.

Xi Xi had directly landed in third place, pushing Su Chuyang, who was originally third, down the rankings.

And all the Divine Children who were ranked after her had to move down one place.

The original thirtieth-ranked Dragon Pupil had even dropped out of the list entirely!

Such a significant change was naturally immense!

"Hahaha, excellent!"

Elder Jiao stroked his beard and laughed heartily, feeling very pleased.

He had indeed brought back a promising seedling for the Divine Sect.

This trip to Jin Guang City had been a great success.

Elder Jiao was now even more excited about Xi Xi's chances of competing for the Sect Master's direct disciple position. As the Elder of the Outer Sect, Elder Jiao had dedicated his entire life to the Sect.

He was determined not to let the direct disciple position fall into the hands of others.

...

...

In the distance, a carriage was being washed by the spring rain, which had turned into a curtain-like downpour.

The curtain inside the carriage slowly lowered.

Su Chuyang sat in the soft carriage, his gaze slightly dazed.

"I've become fourth..."

"I've actually... been surpassed by her?"

Su Chuyang muttered.

The Dragon Pupil List was evaluated based on the Heavenly Scroll's judgment, which had rarely been wrong since ancient times.

This meant that Su Chuyang's talent and overall strength were inferior to that of the little girl who had just forged her Divine Base.

"She just forged her Divine Base and is already third on the Dragon Pupil List... This little girl's talent is so high?" The old man in the carriage was also surprised.

The Heavenly Scroll's judgment was never wrong.

This meant that in terms of strength, Su Chuyang was surpassed by Li Nuanxi, unless he used external aids like the Divine Symbol Talisman, Blood Pill, and Strengthening God Pill.

Otherwise, Su Chuyang would undoubtedly lose to this four-year-old girl.

Their Su Clan's nine-year-old Dragon Pupil...

Was actually no match for a little girl.

The old man took a deep breath, his eyes shimmering, and then he looked at Su Chuyang, who was hanging his head, his gaze lost in thought.

"Elder... Do I still have a chance?"

Su Chuyang raised his head and looked at the elder, asking with bitterness.

His voice carried a sense of confusion and lack of confidence.

He felt very resentful.

But what could he do? The Heavenly Scroll's judgment rarely made mistakes.

"A chance? There's probably none... Unless you can achieve a significant breakthrough within three days. Otherwise, the Dragon Pupil List judges you as weaker than her, and you are indeed weaker."

"Even though she just forged her Divine Base..."

The old man spoke calmly.

"But if you're ranked lower than her on the Dragon Pupil List, it doesn't mean you'll always be inferior to her... Look at Huang Jianji, who was only in the thirties on the Dragon Pupil List, but he's now the second true disciple on the Genuine Transmission Scroll."

"There have been cases of later bloomers!"

Su Chuyang's trembling body steadied, and a glimmer of determination ignited within him.

But...

"You shouldn't have the mindset of competing with her."

The elder held a teacup, sipping the steaming green tea, and spoke softly.

Su Chuyang was stunned, and the determination that had just emerged in his heart shattered.

He looked up at the elder.

"Not compete with her? Then what should I do? Please guide me, Elder."

Su Chuyang clasped his fists.

The elder stroked his beard and smiled.

He looked at Su Chuyang with a profound gaze.

"Use emotions to bind her."

"Make her wholeheartedly devoted to you, so that she'll marry into our Su Clan in the future. With her talent, if she combines with you, the offspring you raise... will undoubtedly be exceptional."

Su Chuyang was taken aback.

"Elder... she's only four years old."

The elder looked out the window, his gaze deep.

"Four years old is just right, like a blank canvas. You can use emotions to cultivate her from a young age, like nurturing a green plum. It won't take too much effort for her to wholeheartedly devote herself to continuing our Su Clan's bloodline."

"Like Huang Jianji's green plum..."

"Your brother spent quite a bit of effort on her..."

"Moreover, with such a talented girl, if you take her Palace Sand and combine it with our Su Clan's secret technique, its effectiveness won't be inferior to spirit medicine..."

...

...

The spring rain pattered on the carriage roof, creating a crisp sound.

Li Che held Xi Xi, sitting upright in the carriage, chatting excitedly with his wife, Zhang Ya. But if one looked closely...

They would notice a cold glint in his eyes.

And within it, a hint of raging killing intent.

The True Monkey Divine Form in his Pineal Palace couldn't help but pound its chest and roar!

"Four years old is just right, like a blank canvas?"

"A gray-haired old man, a white-bearded thief!"

"Who dares to say otherwise?!"
