Chapter 220: Knowing the Elusive Longevity and the Despair of Unattainable Longevity, the Dao Fruit
Chapter 220: Knowing the Elusive Longevity and the Despair of Unattainable Longevity, the Dao Fruit Nurtures the Five Viscera and the Divine Aura is Completed (Part 1)
Su Family!
Li Che's heart took note of the Su family, the number one aristocratic family in Qian Yuan Dao City, and his initial goodwill towards them had completely vanished.
Li Che had never held a favorable opinion of the Su family, especially after Su Hu Li's collusion with the Corpse God Sect.
Now, the words and actions of the Su family elders in educating their younger generation further fueled Li Che's disgust.
"They still plan to use the Su family's secret method to take the Maiden's Palace Guard Sand for cultivation?"
"Such a secret method, such a Su family, is clearly not a good thing."
The carriage jolted, tearing through the spring rain as it traveled along the wide and flat mountain road within the Divine Sect.
Xixi had broken through the Divine Foundation, and her martial cultivation had officially entered the Profound Vein stage. With her innate divine strength, she possessed immense power, capable of defeating even Profound Vein warriors with just a few punches.
Xixi snuggled in Zhang Ya's embrace, proudly boasting about the domineering aura that belonged to the Xixi Empress.
She had suppressed that six-armed, two-headed monster!
Li Che looked at Xixi's plump little face, her eyebrows dancing with excitement.
He hesitated, unsure if he should tell her...
That monster was actually herself?
In the future, when she unleashed the Divine Martial Technique, she would also transform into such a form.
Just like the Law of Heaven Mimic Earth Enlightenment True Monkey Technique that Li Che cultivated, it had the Divine Martial Technique, and once activated, it would also make one appear non-human.
But...
It wasn't a big issue.
In Li Che's heart, Xixi would forever be his adorable child.
Jiao Shaoqiu sat in the carriage, a gentle smile on his lips as he gazed at Xixi with genuine fondness.
Vibrant, talented, and radiant... What a wonderful child.
If all the younger generation in the sect were like this, how could the sect ever worry about a lack of successors?
"Having entered the Dragon Pupa List and ranking third, Xixi, although she has just joined the Divine Sect and is currently considered an outer sect disciple under my command, enjoys resources no less than those of the inner sect."
"Moreover, she has the opportunity to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Essence once a month and even has a chance to obtain the ancestral master's inheritance from it."
Jiao Shaoqiu sat in the carriage, smiling as he turned to Li Che and spoke.
"The ancestral master's inheritance?"
Li Che took a deep breath upon hearing this. According to Jiao Shaoqiu's words, the so-called ancestral master of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect was a Divine Tribulation Realm expert! In the entire world, such individuals were extremely rare.
"The ancestral master of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect left his inheritance in the sect's gate inscription. He was a Divine Tribulation Realm expert whose will lingered in the world, immortal and undying..."
Jiao Shaoqiu's eyes narrowed slightly as he began to recount some of the legends surrounding the Qian Yuan Divine Sect's ancestral master.
"The ancestral master of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect was one of the first top-tier warriors to discover the Mystic Temple. According to the sect's records, the ancestral master cultivated pure martial arts and relied on his extraordinary martial talent to dominate the world. He surpassed the limits of the Three Flowers Supreme Grand Master and stepped into the Martial Saint realm, living a carefree life."
"Later, after discovering the Mystic Temple, he joined forces with other Martial Saint experts to suppress it. He obtained the temple deity's inheritance. At that time... the temple deity's Divinity Technique was considered a taboo, and the divine nature was believed to be a poison of heaven and earth, possessing a terrifying corrosive power that could erode one's spirit, mind, and soul."
"However, some Martial Saints, driven to desperation by old age, declining vitality, and deteriorating blood energy, chose to cultivate the Divinity Technique to prolong their lives and live a new life. Thus, the cultivation of divine nature became uncontrollable, and eventually, the ancestral master also embarked on the path of divine nature cultivation. With the temple deity's inheritance, his cultivation speed was incredibly fast..."
"At that time, the newly born Mystic Temple contained an immense divine nature between heaven and earth. The ancestral master, with his Martial Saint body, switched to cultivating divine nature, nurtured a divine embryo, and ascended to the Divine Tribulation Realm in one go. He underwent the tribulations of heaven and earth, gaining Dao essence with each tribulation and prolonging his lifespan..."
Jiao Shaoqiu's eyes shone with a yearning for that supreme realm.
The tribulations of heaven and earth transformed one's soul and body, granting power beyond the mortal realm, truly like an immortal or a god...
It was truly a realm that inspired endless longing.
Li Che held Xixi in his arms, while Zhang Ya listened attentively.
"How did such a formidable Qian Yuan ancestral master die?"
Xixi, nestled in Li Che's embrace, blinked her big eyes curiously.
Jiao Shaoqiu glanced at Xixi and sighed, "Longevity, defying heaven to seek immortality, is not tolerated by heaven and earth... The tribulations faced by Divine Tribulation cultivators are indeed terrifying. Moreover, according to the records, the divine tribulations are divided into three disasters and nine tribulations. Only after overcoming the three disasters and breaking through the nine tribulations can one transcend..."
"But it's not that easy. The ancestral master fell during the tribulations. According to the sect's records, when the ancestral master saw no hope of breaking through the tribulations, he charged into the Mystic Tower of the Three Pure Ones. The inner sect flame was extinguished, and he never returned."
Jiao Shaoqiu sighed deeply.
His withered hair fluttered as he turned to look out the carriage window at the continuous spring rain.
"The ancestral master once said that the appearance of the Mystic Temple and the birth of divine nature..."
"...gave short-lived warriors hope for longevity."
"...but it also made them understand the despair of knowing that longevity was unattainable."
Li Che's gaze slightly intensified.
Knowing that longevity was unattainable...
Could he, Li Che, achieve longevity?
In his chest, the Dao fruit trembled slightly, throbbing.
Perhaps it was possible.
He patted the head of Xixi, who was in his embrace. But living a long life alone was too boring.
He only wanted to bring his wife along and quietly watch their daughter achieve longevity.
...
...
In the middle of the continuous mountain range, there was a city built.
It wasn't small, and at a glance, Li Che estimated that it was even larger than Flying Thunder City.
This was a city established within the Divine Sect's mountain gate for internal and external disciples to interact with the outside world, engage in trade, and enjoy temporary leisure.
Only disciples of the Divine Sect could live in this city.
Some disciples, unwilling to leave the sect due to declining vitality and the inability to increase their divine nature, chose to stay and make this city a bustling and prosperous place.
Within the city, there were taverns, teahouses, medical halls, and other establishments, where transactions were conducted using sect contributions or divine essence crystals.
Jiao Shaoqiu led Li Che's family into the city.
"Due to the numerous Mystic Temples within the Divine Sect's mountain gate, once night falls, mystic fog will emerge and spread, and the temple's guarding corpses and demons will come out from the mystic tower. Therefore, the sect has built these cities to allow disciples to cultivate within, ensuring that even in the dead of night, they are isolated from the mystic fog and the mystic tower. This provides a sense of security for the disciples."
"There are several more such cities..."
"...and the way the Temple Guardians handle the Mystic Temple is different. The Divine Sect adopts a more liberal approach, although it is more dangerous, it is better for cultivating disciples."
"During the day, the mystic tower and mystic fog of the Mystic Temple are not very active, allowing disciples to form teams and explore the mystic tower and mystic fog, attempting to fight the guarding corpses and demons to enhance their combat experience..."
"Jiao Shaoqiu briefed Li Che on the situation.
'Entering the Mystic Temple's Mystic Tower?' Li Che's eyes narrowed.
Jiao Shaoqiu nodded, 'We send disciples to explore the Mystic Tower, where they can obtain Divine Essence Crystals and other heavenly treasures. Rest assured, every team that enters the tower will have an elder overseeing them, and they will rush to their rescue if any danger arises.'
'Generally, outer sect disciples enter the Ten Cities and Nine Stars level Mystic Towers. Only inner sect disciples are qualified to enter the Eight Extremes and Seven Elements Mystic Towers.'
'As for the Six Ministries' Mystic Tower, that's where the geniuses on the Genuine Transmission Scroll go to train.'
Jiao Shaoqiu patiently explained to Li Che and Zhang Ya.
After all, Xi Xi was about to start her cultivation at the Divine Sect, and they might all encounter these dangers. Although it would be a great opportunity for her to gain experience, parents might not want to see their children suffer.
'It's not just the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect; most Divine Sects integrate the suppression of the Mystic Temples with their disciple cultivation system. By doing so, they can nurture their disciples while also suppressing and weakening the demonic beings nurtured by the divine essence that overflows from the Mystic Towers.'
Jiao Shaoqiu led Li Che's family to a large courtyard within the city.
'I reside here when I'm in this city. Xi Xi will be cultivating in my courtyard during this time.'
Jiao Shaoqiu explained.
'Wow! Yin Yin Shijie!'
As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, Xi Xi's eyes lit up, and she wriggled out of Li Che's embrace like an eel, rushing towards the courtyard with excitement.
She pounced towards a bright young girl in a goose-yellow dress.
It was Sang Guanyin, who had accompanied them to Primordial Dao City.
Sang Guanyin hugged Xi Xi, her dark eyebrows curved, and a sweet smile appeared.
'Is this the little junior sister?'
Sang Guanyin held Xi Xi, and a muffled voice came from within the house.
The next moment, an extremely tall and robust figure slowly emerged.
He was incredibly tall, almost inhuman, with muscles that formed knots all over his body. He had a crew cut, and his eyes were as bright as copper bells, radiating a powerful aura.
Xi Xi blinked, raising her tiny neck to look at the towering figure.
She was used to her teacher, Niu Niu Shifu's, massive physique, so she wasn't afraid of this robust man at all. Instead, she felt a sense of familiarity!
'This is the second senior brother who cultivates in the Divine Sect's main gate, as often mentioned by Shifu,' Sang Guanyin explained with a gentle and soothing voice.
'Oh! Second senior brother! Ben Ben!'
Xi Xi formed a small 'O' with her mouth.
She had heard about this second senior brother from Nan Lihuo, and she was naturally curious. Finally, she got to meet him!
He's a low-spec version of Niu Niu Shifu!
'Little junior sister, I'm not Ben Ben, I'm Ben Yuanlong.'
Ben Yuanlong, with his robust build, couldn't help but turn dark-faced upon hearing Xi Xi's words. He quickly corrected her.
'Okay, Ben Ben Shixiong!' Xi Xi nodded seriously and solemnly.
Sang Guanyin couldn't help but cover her mouth, letting out a soft laugh.
'I've been wanting to meet this little stinker. Your talent is said to surpass even the grand master... Let me see.'
Ben Yuanlong scratched his head, unbothered by Xi Xi's innocent words.
He took Xi Xi from Sang Guanyin, and Xi Xi comfortably sat on Ben Yuanlong's broad shoulders, just like she did on Niu Niu Shifu's.
Ben Yuanlong was taken aback, his expression softening, 'You sure know how to find a good spot.'
'Huh?!'
Suddenly, Ben Yuanlong's eyes revealed a strange light.
'Little stinker, you... have forged your divine foundation?'
How old is Xi Xi?
Ben Yuanlong was startled.
She's only four years old, right?
Four years old... and she's forged her divine foundation?
Hiss... Teacher, you weren't lying to me!
'I should take you to meet the grand master, my teacher's teacher, who is now an inner sect elder... Back then, my teacher's actions really angered him, but after I arrived at Dao City, the grand master has been very helpful.'
Ben Yuanlong, with his fan-like hands, rubbed Xi Xi's head, 'The grand master will be very happy to see you.'
'However, little stinker, with your talent, you can try to challenge for the core genuine transmission of the sect master. There's still a chance.'
Sang Guanyin, standing nearby, also looked surprised, her beautiful face revealing a look of astonishment.
Xi Xi... has broken through her divine foundation?
No wonder she stood out among the temple deities during the Resonance Assembly, overshadowing the other divine children.
Xi Xi, sitting on Ben Yuanlong's shoulders, swung her little feet, tilting her head, 'Ben Ben Shixiong, do you know about the Dragon Pupil List?'
Ben Yuanlong smiled heartily, 'I know, it's very powerful...'
'Those people seem to be shouting 'Dragon Pupil List, Third, Li Nuan Xi.' I think they're calling me.'
Xi Xi spoke earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Ben Yuanlong's hearty smile froze, and he couldn't help but stiffen, showing a hint of astonishment.
What kind of luck did his teacher, Nan Lihuo, have to be chosen as a master by such a divine child?
Ben Yuanlong has been on the Divine Sect's Outer Sage List for about eight years, and he hasn't made it onto the list once. Xi Xi, on the other hand, entered the list upon joining the sect. The gap between individuals can indeed be vast!
Ben Yuanlong will surely treasure such a junior sister.
Li Che didn't interrupt them; he just watched warmly. Ben Yuanlong, in his perception, didn't have any hint of malice or ill intent, so Li Che didn't need to worry about Xi Xi's safety.
'Nan Lihuo sure knows how to pick disciples. Zhou Daoyuan, Ben Yuanlong, and now Xi Xi...'
'Ben Yuanlong's talent is slightly lacking, but he has a pure heart and has a chance to make it onto the Sage List... As for Xi Xi, there's no need to say more. At just four years old, she's ranked third on the Dragon Pupil List. I believe she even has a chance to hold a place on all three lists before the age of ten.'
Jiao Shaoqiu stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
'It's extremely difficult to hold a place on all three lists simultaneously—the Genuine Transmission Scroll, the Sage List, and the Dragon Pupil List.
