Chapter 233: Six-Ear Hell Lotus Sacred Monkey, the Two-Hearted Great Sage, Let My Daughter Be Matrim
Chapter 233: Six-Ear Hell Lotus Sacred Monkey, the Two-Hearted Great Sage, Let My Daughter Be Matrimonied to a Ghost and Live as a Widow [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 2)
With just a thought, he could achieve sublimation.
This was partly due to the Dragon Empress Consort's diligent cultivation, but it was also because the Dragon Deity Clan had an innate talent for horizontal cultivation.
"You want my daughter to be your daughter-in-law? For your deceased son..."
"You want to arrange a ghost marriage? Do you want my daughter to be a living widow?!"
Within the carriage, Li Cheng's eyes suddenly widened, and a terrifying killing intent and intense martial arts will surged out in an instant.
The three woodcarving masters were startled, their eyes widening in horror, only to find that the terrifying aura that had just appeared had vanished without a trace.
Li Cheng regained his composure, and in that moment, his mental state became unbalanced.
"What a despicable old eel!"
Li Cheng's heart trembled, and in his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit continued to throb, devouring all the murderous intent that had erupted.
However, the stronger his murderous intent, the calmer he became.
"It's not easy to kill... This Dragon Princess's martial arts cultivation is profound and deep. She only needs to gather the three flowers at the top, and she can become a Martial Saint..."
"She can even unleash the power of a Martial Saint at any time. I'm no match for her right now."
Li Cheng pondered.
"If I can obtain the Eight Gate Divine Seed Martial Arts and incorporate it into the Eight Extraordinary Gates... Using the Dragon Elephant Heavenly Wind and combining it with the Eight Wonders True Wind, perhaps I can fight her!"
"Additionally, if I use the Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank with the Black and White Extreme Collapse and the fusion burst of the Great Snowfall Lotus Bullet..."
"Furthermore, if I can condense the Divine Essence Golden Core and step into the Divine Essence Realm..."
Li Cheng calculated in his mind, considering how many trump cards he would need to have a chance of killing the Dragon Empress Consort, who was half a step into the Martial Saint realm.
A woman coveting his daughter was a terrifying prospect, even if she was a Dragon.
"Also... If I can complete the production of that Upper Sixth Rank mechanical beast, can I rely on its power to fight a Martial Saint?"
After this summary, Li Cheng realized that he wasn't completely without confidence.
It was just that these sources of confidence were not yet complete.
His eyes opened and closed, and a faint divine light flickered in his pupils.
"Now, the first thing to do is to go to my daughter's side... If I enter the Divine Carving Ridge as an elder, my daughter will have a powerful backer."
"For Xixi, the more support she has, the safer she will be!"
"So, this time, the Divine Carving Ridge Elder Examination..."
"No one can stop me."
...
...
The carriage jolted as it moved, and the one they were riding in was the most ordinary carriage, unlike those of the woodcarving masters from prominent families, who had luxurious horse-drawn carriages with excellent shock absorption.
The comfort of those carriages far surpassed the one Li Cheng was sitting in.
Li Cheng was well aware that the luxury of the carriage represented the importance that the Divine Carving Ridge placed on him.
Li Cheng was too young, and although Jiao Shaoqiu had recommended him, it was clear that the Divine Carving Ridge still considered him an insignificant figure.
The carriage traveled for half a day.
Finally, it entered a smooth road and arrived at the Divine Carving Ridge area.
The Divine Carving Ridge in Heavenly Origin Dao City was much larger than the one in Jinguang Mansion, and the mountain range it occupied was vast and endless, like a majestic lion perched on the earth.
The carriage moved slowly, and the three woodcarving masters, who had been jostled along the way, finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were only at the Divine Foundation Realm, and their martial arts cultivation was lacking. They had just entered the Master realm and mainly relied on their craftsmanship for a living.
After such a bumpy ride, their bones were almost shaken apart.
Li Cheng opened his eyes and lifted the curtain to look outside, his gaze fixed on the Divine Carving Ridge in Heavenly Origin Dao City.
His mud pill between his eyebrows trembled, and as his flesh tore open, a dazzling golden Star-Plucking Eye appeared.
His gaze swept across.
He saw the Divine Carving Ridge, and from within it, burst forth strands of divine light!
"What a magnificent Divine Carving Ridge!"
Li Cheng exclaimed in awe.
Each strand of divine light represented an extraordinary rank of spirit wood.
A rich vitality, powerful essence, and divine energy burst forth from the continuous mountain range, and even if the mountains were covered in snow, endless and boundless, it couldn't suppress the divine light and essence.
Within this Divine Carving Ridge, there was even a possibility of finding fourth-rank or even third-rank spirit wood!
The carriage entered a large city surrounded by snow-covered mountains.
The layout was somewhat similar to the Divine Carving Ridge in Jinguang Mansion, and since this Divine Carving Ridge was controlled by the Heavenly Origin Divine Carving Ridge, the design was naturally similar.
The carriage stopped, and the horse kicked and snorted, its nostrils flaring with heat.
Li Cheng stepped out of the carriage, and the cold wind blew, causing large snowflakes to fly.
The three woodcarving masters also got out, stretching their limbs and exhaling warm air.
In the distance, a young man who had delivered a message approached.
"Masters, please follow me."
"After a long journey, rest for half an hour, and then the Ridge Lord will come to host the Divine Carving Ridge Elder Examination."
The young man said.
Suddenly, a small figure approached from the distance.
"Uncle Cheng!"
A voice shouted loudly.
Li Cheng was startled, and his gaze swept over, and he saw a familiar face—Tang Ren.
A descendant of the Tang family, a renowned mechanical beast clan.
Lu Yao was also by Tang Ren's side, and as they approached, their loud voices attracted the attention of many elderly woodcarving masters.
"Hmm? This child... Seems like a descendant of the Tang family?"
"Calling them descendants is a bit much. Nowadays, some Tang family descendants have joined the Divine Sect's Divine Carving Ridge, and some have been recruited by the Heaven Observation Bureau... They can't be called descendants."
"The once-glorious first mechanical beast clan, their mechanical beasts were so astonishing, but now... they've fallen."
Many woodcarving masters with extraordinary experiences sighed.
"Is this young man... also here to compete for the elder position?"
"He probably is. It's quite brave for someone so young."
"Woodcarving techniques require experience and observing many temple deities. I've observed temple deities for two cycles, and I've seen 108 temple deities. If I can't beat this young man, I've lived in vain."
Pairs of eyes scanned Li Cheng.
Li Cheng didn't mind these gazes and attitudes.
"You... really came?" Lu Yao looked at Li Cheng in surprise.
"I thought it was a joke when I heard it from Sang Yu, but I didn't expect you to dare to participate in the Divine Carving Ridge Elder Examination."
However, Tang Ren held Li Cheng's hand, excited.
"Uncle Cheng, where's Xixi? Didn't she come to play?" Tang Ren asked.
Li Cheng calmly disentangled himself from Tang Huangmao's grip, not showing any sign of emotion. "Who are you to call me uncle? We're not that familiar."
Tang Ren spoke without any restraint.
Lu Yao glared at him, and the surrounding elderly Woodcarving Masters, all with their weathered faces, frowned in response.
Tang Ren realized he had spoken out of turn.
Li Cheng smiled but didn't pay it much mind, declining Tang Ren's offer.
"Young man, don't think that having connections in Divine Carving Ridge will give you an advantage over us old folks..." said one of the Woodcarving Masters who had observed a hundred and eight Temple Deities, his voice cold.
Li Cheng apologized with a smile but didn't dwell on it.
"This is Su Huaiming, a First-Class Upper Rank Guest Scholar from the Heaven Observation Bureau and one of the three examiners for the Divine Carving Ridge Elder Examination," someone introduced.
"From the Su Family, three years ago, he was just a hair's breadth away from replacing Elder Sun, the lowest-ranked Elder in Divine Carving Ridge..."
"Unfortunately, during the clash of divine intentions, he made a mistake and his divine intention was shattered."
Lu Yao conveyed this information telepathically.
Li Cheng's eyebrows rose, and a glint of sharpness flashed in his eyes.
The Su Family...
Li Cheng had no favorable impression of the Su Family.
He had intended to show some respect to this elder, so he wouldn't lose too badly, but now he saw no need for it.
"The other two examiners are Cloud Ocean from the Yun Family and Zhou Tian Shui from the Zhou Family... Both are renowned Woodcarving Masters from the Dao City."
"All from thousand-year-old clans in the Dao City... After all, this is an opportunity to strengthen the connection between the clans and the Divine Sect, so they won't let it slip by."
Lu Yao was quite familiar with these Woodcarving Masters and introduced them to Li Cheng.
Li Cheng nodded.
Time ticked by, moment by moment.
The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly tense as everyone realized that the competition for the Elder position in Divine Carving Ridge was about to begin.
Dong!
Suddenly, the sound of an ancient bell reverberated, its echo spreading from a distance.
Countless snowflakes burst into the air.
Two figures in plain clothes walked down the corridor in the distance.
Li Cheng's gaze swept over them, and his heart trembled slightly.
A powerful divine essence, overwhelming and vast, seemed to converge into a mighty river, and a single wave was enough to destroy the heavens and earth!
Divine Embryo Realm cultivators?!
The leading figure in plain clothes had a bright spirit, and he seemed to sense Li Cheng's gaze, turning to look at him sharply.
The dazzling light made Li Cheng retract his Heaven and Earth Chessboard, and he urged the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to its limit, hiding his energy within the Sleeping Dragon Elephant.
Fortunately, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit had reached the fifth level of the three transformations.
The Ridge Master of Divine Carving Ridge seemed to have been deceived as well.
"Everyone, many of you are new faces. I'm sure you're familiar with the rules of the Divine Carving Ridge Elder Examination," said the Ridge Master.
"In Divine Carving Ridge, the Elder Examination is held once every three years. This year, the lowest-ranked Elder is still Elder Sun. Whether you can take his place depends on your abilities."
"In Divine Carving Ridge, it's not about strength but your woodcarving skills."
The Ridge Master's voice was deep and resounding, as if it were echoing directly in everyone's ears.
Even the most arrogant Woodcarving Masters dared not put on airs before a Great Deity of the Divine Embryo Realm.
Li Cheng clasped his fists and bowed respectfully.
"Is this the new face recommended by Elder Jiao Shaoqiu and Tang Sanjia?" the Ridge Master asked, his gaze falling on Li Cheng.
Li Cheng's heart skipped a beat.
Lu Yao and Tang Ren stood as straight as wooden stakes, not daring to move.
"I am the Ridge Master of Divine Carving Ridge, Gongshu Jingjun."
The Ridge Master's gaze rested on Li Cheng, and the heavy pressure of his divine essence rank felt like a mountain pressing down.
"Gongshu Jingjun, the Second-Class Guest Scholar from the Heaven Observation Bureau, greets you," Li Cheng said, bowing.
The Gongshu Clan...
The second-largest mechanism clan in Dajing, rumored to be related to the Grand Supervisor of the Heaven Observation Bureau...
The Tang Clan's destruction at the hands of the Dajing was also linked to the Gongshu Clan.
The Ridge Master's eyes were deep and dark, like swirling vortices, as he looked intently at Li Cheng. "Tang Sanjia speaks highly of you, and he even passed on the Tang Clan Mechanism Beast Compilation to you?"
Li Cheng just smiled.
The Ridge Master, seeing Li Cheng's cautiousness, burst into hearty laughter, his voice full of vigor. "How's your research on the mechanism beasts going? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
"You might not know this, but Tang Sanjia is like a half-disciple to me."
"Hahahaha..."
The Ridge Master stroked his beard, laughing.
Li Cheng was taken aback.
"Don't assume that the Gongshu Clan and the Tang Clan are entangled in a feud. In fact, a large portion of the Tang Clan's mechanism beasts were developed by the Gongshu Clan."
The Ridge Master patted Li Cheng's shoulder.
Li Cheng's eyebrows rose.
This young man... His physical foundation is so perfect!
If not for his weak energy, he might have the strength of a Great Grandmaster!
The Ridge Master only exchanged a few words with Li Cheng before leading the Woodcarving Masters forward.
After walking down the corridor for about ten li...
Li Cheng's mind focused on his Niwan Palace.
With his eyes closed, he was refining the divine essence he had obtained from the Five Elders Divine Essence Crystal, forming the Heaven-Earth Mimicking Divine Enlightened Monkey Divine Form. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open!
Li Cheng's heart trembled slightly.
Looking up, he saw...
At the end of the corridor...
There stood an enormous golden-tiled temple, melting the endless snowflakes, towering in the mountain valley!
The Witty Pagoda and Witty Fog, endlessly enchanting!
An intense divine essence accompanied the howling wind and snow, drifting through the air.
Li Cheng raised his hand and caught a snowflake that seemed to be imbued with the essence of the Witty Temple.
The Star-Plucking Eye flashed with golden light.
Analyzing the snowflake, he gained insight into the truth.
【Witty Temple (Five Elders)】
【Six-Ear Hell Lotus Sacred Monkey, the Two-Hearted Great Sage Witty Temple】
This chapter was a bit challenging to write, with each term requiring careful consideration. I'm feeling a bit tired and have been working late, so I might have caught pneumonia. It's a new week, and I'd appreciate some fresh recommendations! Keep reading, and let's aim for more votes! I'm grateful for your support!
