Chapter 236: The Sect Master's Consort Teaches Xi Xi, and the Enigmatic Pavilion's Great Tide (Part 1)
"Good!"
The voice carried a hint of excitement and joy.
The Sect Master's Consort, petite and graceful, with her meticulously applied makeup, showed a hint of happiness on her face.
Her brushstrokes were like divine creations, and her penmanship was incredibly sharp!
Such talent was simply that of a natural-born Divine Seal Master! It was hard to believe that Xi Xi was only five years old!
As Xi Xi tightly gripped the wolf-hair brush, she was already close to finishing copying the entire calligraphy scroll.
The difficulty of this task was by no means trivial.
Even Xuan Qi Sha, at the age of five, might have been at this level. Perhaps she couldn't even compare to Xi Xi, because Xi Xi wasn't just recognizing these characters; she was copying them with a near-painting-like precision. Each stroke and line were almost identical to the rare and esoteric characters on the scroll.
It was a perfect replication!
Such talent was naturally suited for Divine Seal cultivation!
"Good, good, good!"
"Shaoqiu, I must thank you. Such a talented seedling... you've truly delivered her right into my heart."
The Sect Master's Consort smiled.
Jiao Shaoqiu was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit dazed.
Was this still Xi Xi?
Was she the Xi Xi he knew?
No... Xi Xi couldn't even write her own name before.
Could it be that she was just being lazy before?
Jiao Shaoqiu felt like he had just realized something. Xi Xi's name... she did indeed draw it with more strokes, but this little girl was just too lazy to write it properly.
But this time, as it involved setting off fireworks, Xi Xi took it seriously. Jiao Shaoqiu had told her that if she could master Divine Seals like the Calm the Wind and Waves and Bind Immortal Seals, she could immobilize her opponents in mid-air and let her fireworks blast them.
Now it seemed...
Xi Xi had taken his words to heart!
Good girl! Jiao Shaoqiu stroked his beard and smiled, the heavy burden in his heart finally lifting.
He knew he had succeeded...
Xi Xi had passed the Sect Master's Consort's test, and she would receive her teachings, becoming her disciple.
Of course, Xi Xi could also participate in the Sect Master's personal assessment!
The Sect Master's Consort wouldn't stop her and might even encourage it.
Xi Xi would learn Divine Seals from her, but in terms of cultivation, the Sect Master's Consort wasn't as skilled as the Sect Master. Moreover, if Xi Xi became the Sect Master's personal disciple, her status within the sect would be vastly different, and the resources she would receive would also change.
However, within the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, due to the Sect Master's Consort's unique status, her disciples couldn't enjoy the sect's preferential treatment.
They also couldn't receive the same benefits as the disciples of the other Inner Sect Elders.
"I'll take Xi Xi as my disciple."
The Sect Master's Consort nodded in satisfaction.
Her standards were high, and not just anyone could become her successor.
Her position in the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect was special, and she lived alone in a foreign land, enduring loneliness. When she took on Jiao Shaoqiu as her half-disciple, it was merely to repay a debt.
She didn't have high hopes for Jiao Shaoqiu, and as expected, he didn't learn the Divine Seal Technique.
But this time was different. The Sect Master's Consort felt like she had discovered a Divine Seal genius! One who might even surpass her in the future!
And at this moment, Xi Xi...
She was overjoyed, immersed in the realization that she wasn't a fool.
Looking at her hands, holding the wolf-hair brush, she kept copying the characters, and each time, her replication was flawless, leaving Xi Xi in awe.
She couldn't stop exclaiming at her own incredible talent!
Xi Xi's small chest and belly puffed out with pride.
Hearing this, Jiao Shaoqiu heaved a long sigh of relief, took two steps back, and sat down on the ground, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
He looked at Xi Xi with a relieved expression.
Jiao Shaoqiu had long planned to bring Xi Xi to meet the Sect Master's Consort.
In the entire Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, no more than three people had ever met this mysterious woman.
And Jiao Shaoqiu was one of them, as he was the Sect Master's Consort's former half-disciple.
Xi Xi's talent was evident to all, and Jiao Shaoqiu had witnessed it firsthand when Xi Xi dominated the other divine children in Jin Guang Mansion, showcasing unparalleled talent and claiming the first place in the Temple Deity Resonance.
Jiao Shaoqiu had already made up his mind then.
But this time, the appearance of the Queen Consort of Pacification brought an intense sense of crisis.
It forced Jiao Shaoqiu to rush Xi Xi to meet the Sect Master's Consort.
Initially, Jiao Shaoqiu had wanted to teach Xi Xi how to write.
But with the Queen Consort's pressure, he had no choice but to take a leap of faith.
And the result...
Xi Xi gave him a delightful surprise!
"Teacher..."
"With Xi Xi by your side, you won't be lonely anymore."
Jiao Shaoqiu looked at the petite Sect Master's Consort with a gentle gaze.
The Sect Master's Consort snorted.
"That lowly dragon girl, Ji Moli, dares to be arrogant? If she dares to harm my disciple, I'll kill her son!"
The Sect Master's Consort bared her teeth, her expression fierce.
Xi Xi, who had just finished copying all the calligraphy, heard the Sect Master's Consort's words and excitedly raised her hand high!
"Sect Master's Consort Teacher!"
Xi Xi exclaimed excitedly.
The Sect Master's Consort paused.
Jiao Shaoqiu nodded with a bitter smile.
"So that's how it is... Since that old fool has lost his son, what does it have to do with my disciple?"
The Sect Master's Consort waved her hand, "Considering she's lost her son, I won't bother settling scores with her."
At this moment, Xi Xi tightly gripped the wolf-hair brush, looking up with her big, spirited eyes filled with anger, her cheeks puffed up.
"Sect Master's Consort, Teacher!"
"Ji Haihui's mother wants to capture me as her daughter-in-law! Even though her son is already dead, she still wants to take me!"
Xi Xi spoke with a pitiful tone.
The Sect Master's Consort appeared to be only three or four years old, but in reality, her mental age exceeded several hundred years.
Hearing Xi Xi's childish words and seeing the little girl's aggrieved expression, anger surged in her heart.
"Jiao Shaoqiu, is what Xi Xi said true?!"
"That old mudskipper wants my Xuan Qi Sha's disciple... to endure widowhood?! To arrange a ghost marriage?!"
A chilling aura suddenly enveloped the entire Divine Talisman Tower, making it incredibly cold and bone-chilling, almost piercing through one's heart!
Jiao Shaoqiu, sitting on the ground, shivered at these words.
He paused for a moment, then nodded.
"It's indeed true."
"What Xi Xi said is not false in the slightest."
Jiao Shaoqiu was a man of facts, and the Dragon Queen Consort's domineering appearance was indeed as threatening as Xi Xi described. During Prince Ji Haihui's mountain worship in Jin Guang Mansion, he had expressed his desire to take Xi Xi as his concubine, so the Dragon Queen Consort's arrival now made her intentions clear.
"Okay, okay!"
The Sect Master's Consort walked over to Xi Xi's side, her small hand gently rubbing Xi Xi's head.
"How could my Xuan Qi Sha's disciple endure such injustice?!"
The Sect Master's Consort's face turned cold.
"Let's go."
"I'll take you to vent your anger!"
...
...
Divine Crane Ridge.
Snowflakes filled the sky, sealing a thousand miles in ice!
The dense cold air swept through the high skies, as if freezing everything, turning the land into an icy realm!
Six-Eared Hell Lotus Sacred Monkey Heart-Monarch Odd Shrine.
Mysterious Pavilion Land.
The enigmatic mist thickened, swirling endlessly, billowing and surging.
Gongshu Jingjun stood suspended in the air, his powerful primordial spirit energy resembling a golden blazing sun disc floating behind his head. Aside from the golden light, there was also a dazzling radiance! By his side were the Triple Flower Great Masters from various factions he had invited.
The atmosphere was oppressive, with howling winds! Amidst the enigmatic mist, the terrifying treasure staff that towered into view was extremely eye-catching, instantly capturing everyone's attention and causing their breathing to quicken.
"Willful Golden Iron Divine Pole!"
According to the Grand Director, who possessed vast supernatural powers, obtaining this divine weapon would provide the means to travel to Qitian City and find the Ruyi Staff!
It was the inheritance of the divine sect that once dominated half the world!
The temptation was indeed overwhelming!
Therefore, these Triple Flower Great Masters fixed their gaze on the gigantic demonic ape shadow grasping the staff within the enigmatic mist, their hearts filled with desire.
Gongshu Jingjun remained unmoved.
All he felt was...
palpitations.
"The Grand Director wouldn't make a mistake... If things exceed the Grand Director's expectations, everything will become uncertain, and the outcome will be unpredictable."
"There must be someone or something... that affected the Grand Director's judgment."
"What is it?!"
Gongshu Jingjun's eyebrows furrowed.
He began to ponder incessantly.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
"Could it be... the Elder Examination?"
"But there hasn't been an Elder Examination held before, which means... something has influenced the Mysterious Shrine."
"Li Che!"
Gongshu Jingjun exhaled.
In just an instant, his mind had raced through various possibilities, vaguely discerning something.
However, he did not reveal his thoughts.
Instead, he turned to the others.
"The Willful Golden Iron Divine Pole has appeared prematurely... indicating that the rebellion of this Mysterious Shrine is about to commence."
Sensing the Triple Flower Great Masters beside him, eager to seize the Willful Golden Iron Divine Pole, Gongshu Jingjun slightly spread his hands, his body expanding like a peacock's tail feathers.
He blocked their path.
"Everyone, the Willful Golden Iron Divine Pole has not fully emerged..."
"It has only revealed its position."
"If we act hastily, we will undoubtedly awaken the Temple Guardian Corpse King, and might even provoke the wrath of the Temple Deity within the Mysterious Shrine. Once the Temple Deity's true form descends, coupled with the mysterious and terrifying entity within the Strange Pavilion, should it become enraged..."
"At that time, this Mysterious Shrine will be in complete rebellion..."
Gongshu Jingjun spoke gravely.
"A Mysterious Shrine of the Five Elder Rank, once in full rebellion, will require at least two Divine Embryo Great Deities to suppress it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to quell the chaos."
The Triple Flower Great Masters calmed down.
Indeed, the allure of treasures right before their eyes was hard to resist.
However, they also needed the ability to obtain them.
Not to mention the terrifying combat strength of the Temple Guardian Corpse King within a Five Elder Rank Mysterious Shrine...
Gongshu Jingjun's obstruction was not something they could easily overcome.
And Gongshu Jingjun's words were not wrong.
Currently, most of the Divine Embryo Realm cultivators in Primordial Dao City were in seclusion, and it wouldn't be easy to summon them.
The enigmatic mist rose, accompanied by a thunderous inhalation and exhalation, as if a dense deathly dragon was churning beneath it! Gradually, the mist enveloped everything, like a huge wave crashing down, followed by an explosion of watery mist that obscured everything.
The group took a deep look, their blood boiling, and instantly transformed into shadows of light, retreating swiftly.
Gongshu Jingjun took a deep look at the Temple Guardian Corpse King, snoring in his sleep.
His entire body also retreated gracefully.
His heart stirred, and he wanted to see what had happened during the Elder Examination.
It was all because of Li Che...
Affecting the Odd Temple?!
...
...
Li Che was unaware of what was happening within the Strange Pavilion.
It had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, he had only one thought left...
To carve out the Divine Carving of the Spiritly Bright Ape!
You want to return!
You want to come out and see this world!
Then I shall help you!
Gripping the Divine Weapon Dagger, the massive Bloodfire Mantra Bodhi Wood stump was seated on the ground, and the dagger swiftly sliced through it, cutting off a piece of raw wood shavings!
As the Divine Weapon tore through the Spirit Tree, a grand Divinity seemed to coil out like a fiery dragon, entwining itself around the Spirit Tree.
The Bodhi Wood instantly turned crimson, and the rising high temperature seemed to create an invisible airflow within the Odd Temple.
The Bloodfire Mantra, as if coming to life from the Bodhi Wood, continuously coiled towards Li Che's arm.
The higher the rank of the Divine Carving Master, the more difficult it was to achieve success.
This was because the process of carving involved immense risk.
Apart from observing the Temple Deity and absorbing its essence to improve one's own Divine Carving skills, the process of carving the Spirit Tree itself was fraught with danger.
Some high-rank Spirit Trees were already spiritualized by spirits, possessing sentience.
Even if only a piece of raw wood remained, the power contained within could still affect the Divine Carving Master.
Thus, powerful Divine Carving Masters were never weak in cultivation.
Su Huaiming, for instance, was a master of the Golden Body Transformation.
Zhou TianShui and Yun Haiyang were also at this level of cultivation.
Li Che solely relied on his robust physical body to withstand the coiling Bloodfire Mantra.
Li Che's heart was entirely immersed in the carving process.
Within his chest, the Immortal Work Fruit of the Immortal Craft pulsated intensely.
A surge of heat welled up.
In the Pineal Gland between his brows, the Spiritly Bright Ape roared!
Although Li Che used the Divine Foundation as a basis to carve the Heaven-Imitating Earth-Emulating Divine Enlightenment True Monkey, there was a significant difference between carving with the Divine Foundation and carving with the Spirit Tree.
With the Divine Foundation, the Divinity of the Temple Deity from the Heaven-Reaching Face could be directly condensed within it.
Li Che only needed to follow the proper steps and, with sufficient power, he could complete the carving.
However, carving the Divine Carving was an entirely different matter.
Without first sketching the true form with the Temple Deity's essence, a single mistake could have dire consequences!
Li Che's entire body seemed to ignite with flames, but he chose not to suppress the Bloodfire Mantra. Instead, he allowed the mantra to coil around his entire knife-wielding arm.
Not far away, Su Huaiming's Spirit Tree had already been sketched into a rough form. He relaxed his mind and turned to look.
Seeing Li Che's current state, Su Huaiming couldn't help but chuckle.
"This kid is being reckless, isn't he? The Bloodfire Mantra Bodhi Wood is not so easily carved. If his cultivation is insufficient, he'll be eroded by the Bloodfire Mantra and become useless!
