Chapter 247: Li Che and the Resonance of the Three-Eyed Sage's Shrine God in the Divine Sect (Part 2)
"
If Nie Yang truly broke through to the Supreme Grandmaster realm, he would be more than capable of serving as Li Che's protective carriage driver.
"In the future, when traveling between Divine Carving Peak and the Dao City, having a Supreme Grandmaster for protection will make the journey safer."
Suddenly, everyone's expressions shifted slightly as they looked towards the distance.
There, two tiny figures appeared, floating towards them.
"Daddy!"
"Mommy—!!!"
Xixi's shrill voice echoed from afar, rolling like thunder!
Zhang Ya's face immediately showed excitement as she looked towards the tiny figure of Xixi in the distance.
Xixi spread her little feet and sprinted through the snow, running incredibly fast. The snow behind her rose high into the air! With a bang, Xixi stomped heavily, shooting forward like a cannonball.
However, just as she was about to crash into Zhang Ya's embrace, Li Che grabbed her by the back of her collar.
Xixi instantly froze, like a cat whose fate had been seized by the neck, shrinking her little feet and hands and behaving very obediently.
"Don't rush into your mother's arms. Your mother's small frame can't take it," Li Che said, slightly annoyed.
"Hehe, it's because Daddy can catch Xixi!"
Xixi tilted her head and smiled.
Then, she buried her head in Zhang Ya's embrace, rubbing her little face against Zhang Ya's.
"Mommy, hug me! Xixi misses you so much!"
Xixi wrapped her chubby little hands around Zhang Ya's neck, unwilling to let go.
Li Che, on the other hand, looked towards the distance, where a small girl with exquisite makeup, tiny in stature, barefoot, and wearing a mini Luo dress that exuded a heavenly aura, stood.
Gong Shu Jing Jun's eyebrows rose, and surprise flashed across her face. She fisted her hands in a respectful gesture, "Sect Master's Consort."
Jiao Shao Qiu, Nie Yang, and Huang Jian Jiu all hurriedly showed their respect.
"Oh, it's Jing Jing. It's been many years, and your cultivation is impressive," said the tiny Sect Master's Consort, nodding.
Gong Shu Jing Jun looked at the Sect Master's Consort, who had shrunk even smaller, and her mouth twitched. It seemed like the black history from many years ago was being brought up again.
"Thank you, Madam. It's Jing Jun," Gong Shu Jing Jun said.
"I heard that a few days ago, Madam suppressed the Dragon Empress Consort of Ji Mo Li?"
"It seems your might is still as impressive as it was back then..."
Gong Shu Jing Jun praised.
"Tsk, are you mocking me, Jing Jing? A mere old dragon girl is nothing to boast about."
"That You Liqing is quite something, though. He carried my talisman without dying. That's impressive."
The Sect Master's Consort, despite her small stature, spoke with an air of seniority.
Gong Shu Jing Jun paused, "Madam, You Liqing is already dead."
"What?"
The Sect Master's Consort was taken aback, then waved her hand dismissively, "It has nothing to do with me."
"If Ji Mo Li comes to slander me, Jing Jing, you must protect me!"
Gong Shu Jing Jun smiled.
Li Che, holding Xixi, walked over with Zhang Ya.
"Father, Mother, this is Xi Xi's new master, the Sect Master's Consort, Little Master!"
Xi Xi, nestled in Li Che's embrace, exclaimed excitedly.
The Sect Master's Consort, Xuan Qisha, immediately frowned, "You rebellious disciple, I've told you countless times that I'm not your Little Master. I'm very old!"
"Okay, Little Master!" Xi Xi said excitedly, "This is Xi Xi's father and mother!"
Xi Xi introduced the Sect Master's Consort.
Xuan Qisha regained her usual aloof demeanor and nodded slightly towards Li Che and Zhang Ya.
However, her appearance as a three-year-old child made it difficult to maintain her usual cold demeanor.
"Alright, I won't disturb your family reunion. I heard that Xi Xi's father has become an Elder of Divine Carving Ridge? Very well, after settling down in the Divine Sect, bring Xi Xi to the Divine Talisman Treasure Tower to meet me. Xi Xi has a talent for divine talismans, and I'm very pleased."
The Sect Master's Consort, Xuan Qisha, said calmly.
After speaking, she playfully lifted her chin, turned, and walked away quickly, leaving behind a trail of snowflakes to conceal her small stature.
"Goodbye, Little Master!" Xi Xi waved eagerly.
In the distance, a snowstorm erupted, and a deep, angry voice could be heard.
"Great!"
...
...
Jiao Shao Qiu led Li Che and the others to a magnificent courtyard within the Inner Disciple City of the sect.
This courtyard was even larger than Jiao Shao Qiu's own.
After all, Li Che's status as an Elder of Divine Carving Ridge was equal to that of an Inner Elder, and he outranked Jiao Shao Qiu, the Outer Elder.
"This is the place. It originally belonged to Elder Sun, but he left the courtyard three years ago... Now that Elder Sun has ascended, this courtyard will be passed on to you."
"The courtyard is arranged with a Divine Nature Formation, which can isolate the erosion of the temple deity's divine nature during the night. Even if ordinary people live here, it won't be a problem."
Jiao Shao Qiu explained.
Xi Xi, holding Zhang Ya's hand, jumped excitedly around the large courtyard.
Zhang Ya, Mu Po Po, and Lao Chen began tidying up the courtyard, while Li Che accompanied Gong Shu Jing Jun to report within the Inner Sect.
Walking side by side with Gong Shu Jing Jun.
Li Che suppressed the urge to examine the Corpse God Seal and explore the presence of the Corpse God Sect's evil within the Divine Sect.
After all, there was a Divine Embryo cultivator nearby, and if they were discovered or misunderstood, it would be difficult to explain.
The howling wind and snow enveloped the Inner Sect, which was deep within the mountains. The heavy snow and the cold intensified.
Gong Shu Jing Jun and Li Che chatted about some mechanical techniques.
Li Che no longer concealed his talent for divine craftsmanship and discussed it freely with Gong Shu Jing Jun.
He had thoroughly mastered the Tang Clan's mechanical techniques, as he had single-handedly created a Five Elders-ranked mechanized beast.
It was no easy feat, even during the Tang Clan's heyday, for a single person to create such a high-ranked mechanized beast.
The more Gong Shu Jing Jun talked, the more excited she became, and her appreciation for Li Che grew stronger.
No wonder the Tang Clan's top three valued Li Che.
Suddenly, as Li Che was chatting with Gong Shu Jing Jun, he abruptly stopped walking.
"Ridge Master, where are we... going?"
Li Che took a deep breath.
He could sense the increasingly intense divine nature in the air, and the mythical weapon, the Heaven-Defying Face, placed within the Heavenly Chessboard, was trembling incessantly.
This reaction...
was indeed too intense and seemed off.
Gong Shu Jing Jun looked at Li Che in surprise and smiled, "You noticed?"
"There's one final test for elders joining the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, but you don't need to do anything."
"This is the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's tradition."
Gong Shu Jing Jun calmly explained.
"You don't need to do anything either. It's just a test to see if you have any evil objects or if you've been corrupted by the Corpse God Sect..."
"If you're innocent and have a clear conscience, it's just a formality."
"Three elders from the Inner Sect of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, including one from Divine Carving Ridge, are already waiting for you."
Li Che's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this.
"Is this the direction of the Four Virtues Mystic Dao Manifesting Three-Eyed Sage Strange Shrine within the Divine Sect?"
Li Che asked.
"You recognized it?"
Gong Shu Jing Jun stood with her hands behind her back, her slender figure standing tall like a spear amidst the snowstorm, "That's right. This path leads to the Inner Sect of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, and specifically, to the Falling Plum Mountain."
"The Mystic Dao Manifesting Three-Eyed Sage Strange Shrine is located on Falling Plum Mountain."
Li Che took a breath and suppressed the trembling mythical weapon within the Heavenly Chessboard.
"Is this... for the Three-Eyed Sage Shrine's deity to observe me?"
Gong Shu Jing Jun looked deeply into Li Che's eyes, surprised by his quick reaction.
She hadn't even introduced it to Li Che, but he had already guessed something.
His perception of divine nature was quite sharp, and he might have immediately sensed the changes and differences in the divine nature along the way.
"This is a tradition. Every elder who joins the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect will undergo the baptism of the shrine deity's resonance..."
"During this baptism, the Three-Eyed Sage Shrine's deity will cast its three divine lights upon you, observing your goodness and evil, whether you're tainted by demonic energy, and if you've been influenced by the Corpse God Sect's evil."
Gong Shu Jing Jun walked ahead.
Li Che followed closely, and the two of them marched through the snow, leaving no traces.
They walked in silence.
After a moment, when Li Che felt the divine nature in the air becoming increasingly terrifying, and his blood was almost uncontrollably stirred to resist the divine nature...
The journey finally reached its climax.
In an instant, countless snowflakes vanished.
The terrifying divine nature seemed to be swallowed by nothingness.
The air was filled with a rich fragrance of plum blossoms, the scent so thick it seemed to solidify into a tangible pink mist, swirling in the air.
The warmth of spring and the sweet scent of plums filled the atmosphere.
Li Cheng felt as if he had passed through the snow and entered a utopian paradise.
A strange temple, which seemed to have altered the very fabric of heaven and earth, stood before them.
"This Mysterious Dao Manifesting Three-Eyed Sage Strange Shrine is less lively than the Golden Light Mansion's Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Furious Third Prince Strange Shrine..."
"Our Heavenly Origin Divine Sect has been stationed in Lingnan for thousands of years, and our purpose is to guard this Four Virtues Mystic Temple."
"However, we've been quite fortunate. In the thousands of years since, this Four Virtues Mystic Temple has only erupted a few times, and most of the time, it's been extremely gentle."
Gong Shu Jing Jun explained.
In the distance, Li Cheng saw four figures.
Four figures...
They seemed to merge with heaven and earth, each one an incredibly terrifying existence. Just a glance was enough to make one feel as if their spirit was about to be taken away.
Among them, Li Cheng spotted a familiar figure.
"Fourth Elder... Ji He Shan?"
Li Cheng narrowed his eyes.
Ji He Shan, dressed in a white robe, seemed to sense Li Cheng's gaze. He gently swept his eyes over and nodded.
"This is the Second Elder of the Inner Sect, Zhao Fang Zhou."
"This is the Fourth Elder of the Inner Sect, Ji He Shan."
"Sixth Elder, Huo Xiang."
Gong Shu Jing Jun stood with her hands behind her back and introduced, "And this is the Great Elder of Divine Carving Ridge, Tang Jian Long."
Li Cheng clasped his fists and greeted each elder with respect.
The elders returned the greetings, their gazes fixed on Li Cheng.
Each of them revealed a look of astonishment in their eyebrows.
Because Li Cheng was incredibly young...
The elders of Divine Carving Ridge were all elderly, having immersed themselves in the Divine Carving Realm for countless years.
A young Divine Carving Master like Li Cheng was indeed rare.
Moreover, he had surpassed numerous Divine Carving Masters cultivated by various families in Heavenly Origin Dao City, becoming the Fifth Elder of Divine Carving Ridge...
It was like a myth come true.
At this moment...
Li Cheng's heart trembled even more.
Because...
For the first time, he clearly felt the profound foundation of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect! The pressure from these Inner Sect elders was immense.
Ji He Shan had seen Li Cheng through Xi Xi's perspective, but now, up close, he could sense the power in his mud pill and star-plucking eye.
It was as if he could see a divine embryo within Ji He Shan's mud pill, nurtured by countless divine essences. With each breath, it absorbed the divine essences of heaven and earth, and a faint heart seemed to pulsate within the divine embryo...
It was as if a true temple deity was about to be born.
However, compared to Gong Shu Jing Jun, a true divine embryo cultivator, he lacked a certain divine charm and was a step away from truly entering the Divine Embryo Realm.
A Quasi-Divine Embryo! He was at the cusp of divine transformation, just a step away from the Divine Embryo Transformation.
The Sixth Elder, Huo Xiang, had a slightly weaker aura than Ji He Shan, and the heart within her divine embryo was less distinct, but she too was a Quasi-Divine Embryo.
As for Tang Jian Long, the Great Elder of Divine Carving Ridge, he was similar to the Second Elder, Zhao Fang Zhou. His temples were bulging, his eyes radiant, and his vital energy roared like a mighty river. If he wished, he could melt away the snow-covered mountains.
Li Cheng had felt this kind of aura from the Governor of the Temple Guardian Bureau, Yu Wen Long, a Divine Warrior!
Therefore...
These two were both Divine Warriors!
This was the foundation of the Divine Sect! However, there were also differences in strength among Divine Warriors. At what stage of the Four Gates were these two?
Li Cheng suppressed the tremors in his heart.
The Second Elder, Zhao Fang Zhou, smiled as he saw Li Cheng adapting so quickly. "Not bad."
"It's a pity that your cultivation is a bit lacking, but it's not a problem for the elders of Divine Carving Ridge to have slightly weaker cultivation."
"Elder Li, you should know the rules of the inspection, right?"
"Every one of us elders, including the Sect Master, the Sect Master's Consort, and Gong Shu Ling Master, have all undergone this process."
"So, Elder Li, please don't resist too much. If you do, we might suspect something." Zhao Fang Zhou's eyes shone with a faint golden light as he spoke softly.
Hearing this, Li Cheng clasped his fists and bowed, indicating his acceptance of the inspection without objection.
"Good."
"Since it's like this, let's walk along the 'Thousand Plum Path' in front of the Strange Pavilion. After walking the Thousand Plum Path, we will invoke the temple deity of the Mysterious Dao Manifesting Three-Eyed Sage Strange Shrine and cast down the three-eyed divine light to cleanse your body."
"If you are free of evil, wickedness, sin, and demons, you can officially become an elder of Divine Carving Ridge."
"It's also a good opportunity to test the resonance between Elder Li and the temple deity of the Strange Shrine."
Zhao Fang Zhou spoke in a deep voice.
The two Quasi-Divine Embryo cultivators, Fourth Elder Ji He Shan and Sixth Elder Huo Xiang, descended on either side.
They formed hand seals, and divine essences surged from their backs.
Instantly, the mist in front of the strange temple parted slowly.
Plum blossoms bloomed on the trees, covering the entire path up to the ancient and strange temple's white jade steps.
Fourth Elder Ji He Shan's gaze seemed to smile as he fixed it on Li Cheng.
"Elder Li, please."
