Chapter 247: Li Che and the Resonance of the Tri-Eyed True Monarch's Shrine Deity (Part 1)
Chapter 247: Li Che and the Resonance of the Tri-Eyed True Monarch's Shrine Deity (Part 1)
Within the Heavens and Earth Chessboard, the dense and pure corpse energy and death aura swirled and churned, transforming into a bizarre, twisted, and grotesque visage.
It was the Corpse God Seal.
After defeating the demon child, Li Che had captured the Corpse God Seal early on, but refining it was a technical challenge.
Li Che spent time almost every day, utilizing his Pure Heart Divine Nature to attempt to refine the Corpse God Seal.
However, the rank of the story within the seal was too high, far surpassing the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Mother-Son Seal he had obtained before.
Based on the insights Li Che gained from You Liqing, this Corpse God Seal should not only be comparable to the rank of the Divine Embryo Realm.
According to Li Che's estimation, it should have reached the level of the Third Divine Transformation, or even the Fourth Divine Transformation.
Therefore, refining this Corpse God Seal was not an easy task for Li Che.
Even with the suppression of the Heavens and Earth Chessboard, it still required a long time to grind it down.
But the last time he secretly touched the black dog's head outside the restaurant, Li Che vaguely felt the Corpse God Seal tremble within the Heavens and Earth Chessboard.
Li Che was astonished, thinking it was just an illusion, but the feedback from the Chess Sage Dao Fruit confirmed it.
It was clear that touching the dog's head had indeed caused a reaction from the Corpse God Seal.
This time, Li Che had come to confirm it.
Boom! As the last trace of death and corpse energy settled, the resisting will on the Corpse God Seal completely disappeared.
Li Che realized that he had finally refined the Corpse God Seal.
Dog Rides Human Power!
The combined strength of a man and a dog successfully refined the Corpse God Seal!
Li Che's eyes lit up with a hint of joyful laughter.
The gentle breeze blew, and outside the restaurant, the rain fell lightly.
Li Che gently stroked the dog's head, feeling incredibly happy, but he also confirmed something in his heart.
The restaurant owner and the dog might have a higher rank than he had imagined!
Perhaps, they were at least Divine Embryo Fourth Transformation Great Deities!
The Martial Saint had reached the Fourth Opening, a powerful existence in the Heaven Opening Gate Realm!
Just by touching the dog's head and absorbing its aura, the Corpse God Seal trembled, indicating the dog's formidable power.
How cruel could this dog be?
Could it have bitten a Corpse God? Li Che wondered as he gently rubbed the dog's head.
The more he touched it, the more addicted he became.
Crack, crack—
The winter thunder rumbled, and the cold rain mixed with snowflakes fell in a shower.
The wind blew, bringing a chill and moist air.
Li Che narrowed his eyes, feeling a sense of contentment and ease.
Perhaps, after achieving success and fame, when his daughter grew up and could take care of herself, and he could travel the world alone...
At that time, with the city as a backdrop, opening a quiet little restaurant, keeping a black dog, petting it every day, enjoying the evening breeze, and cooking would be a dream come true.
It would be the ultimate retirement life.
Unfortunately, this world was too dangerous, and Li Che's current strength was far from sufficient to achieve such a retirement.
When you have enough strength but not enough to suppress all waves, it's difficult to stay out of trouble.
Because the waves will come looking for you.
A rich aroma wafted from the kitchen.
"It's time to eat."
The owner's calm voice carried a sense of tranquility.
The black dog, upon hearing this, immediately sprang out, escaping Li Che's grasp, and bared its teeth at him.
It seemed to say, "You've touched me, now keep your promise, remember to bring Xi Xi to play with the dog!"
Li Che couldn't help but smile, "I, Li Che, have always been straightforward in my actions."
Then, rubbing his hands, he headed into the restaurant.
The owner prepared a dish called "Earthy Delicacy," a combination of eggplant, green peppers, and potatoes, covered in a thick sauce, emitting a rich aroma. Alongside it was a bowl of steaming white rice with translucent grains and a pot of Dragon Blood Wine.
"Wash your hands."
The owner glanced at Li Che and frowned.
Li Che understood and raised his hand, summoning a gush of rain to wash his palms, which then turned into droplets and returned to the rain curtain.
Li Che sat in the dining chair and began to eat heartily.
For a moment, the tension of life and death from the battle with You Liqing vanished, and his body relaxed.
...
...
Winter thunder was rare, and winter snow was more common.
After two days of rain, the air became extremely cold, perhaps with an added chill from the moisture.
The cold air seemed to come alive, seeping into every crevice of one's clothing.
The morning light was dim.
In the inner city of Primordial Origin Dao City.
Fragrant Lane.
In a small courtyard.
The courtyard was already bustling early in the morning. Zhang Ya, upon learning of Li Che's successful promotion to the Fifth Elder of Divine Crane Ridge, was in high spirits, humming a tune from time to time.
Becoming an Elder of Divine Crane Ridge was equivalent to the rank of an Inner Gate Elder, allowing them to live within the Heavenly Origin Sect Gate and have their own Elder's courtyard.
Inside the Heavenly Origin Sect Gate, their family could finally be reunited.
"Darling, what do you think of this outfit?" Zhang Ya held up a large coat, her eyes sparkling with joy as she gestured with it.
This was after their family moved to Golden Light Mansion City, and she had bought this outfit while shopping with Shangguan Qinghong. She had been reluctant to wear it, but now that they were about to move into the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's mountain gate, she wanted to dress up nicely.
"My wife looks beautiful in anything she wears," Li Che said with a smile, sitting under the eaves.
Li Qingshan stood behind Mu Po, gently rocking her rocking chair, his face also showing a gentle smile.
Seeing Li Che and Zhang Ya, the young couple, Li Qingshan and Mu Po couldn't help but think back to their youth. Back then, they were just as happy.
"Darling, you always say that, you're just brushing me off!" Zhang Ya pouted.
However, she didn't continue trying on different outfits and went to change into the clothes.
Li Che smiled and walked over to Li Qingshan's side.
Li Qingshan's gaze towards Li Che held a hint of resentment.
They had agreed to work together on a grand plan, but in the end...
The Underworld's group of villains had secretly carried out a major operation, killing You Liqing, a top-tier Three Blossoms Great Grandmaster.
As an official member of the Underworld, Li Qingshan...
...only found out about this news a day later.
He wasn't angry that his Underworld colleagues hadn't included him.
Instead, he felt more tension and numbness.
It wasn't...
...that his colleagues had started targeting top-tier Three Blossoms Grandmasters.
This task...was becoming increasingly difficult.
His Netherworld Cat Face couldn't keep up!
He couldn't compete, not even a little bit.
If he joined the competition, he feared he would become cannon fodder.
Now, having just stepped into the Divine Energy Aura Great Grandmaster realm, Li Qingshan, after struggling to enter the Netherworld's inner circle, realized he had no core competitiveness.
So, Li Qingshan began to feel lost.
But after feeling lost, Li Qingshan also saw things clearly.
Back in Flying Thunder City, Li Che was just a blood-changing martial artist. Yet, after joining the Netherworld, he thrived like a fish in water.
Why couldn't Li Qingshan do the same?
He didn't need to follow the Netherworld Demon, Ma Mian, or Thunder Dragon in hunting down Great Grandmasters.
Instead, he decided to learn from the Netherworld Demon's actions in the Heavenly Origin Dao City and target the heretics who had been corrupted by the Corpse God Cult's spells and received their divine seals.
Among those people...there shouldn't be a Great Grandmaster, right?
Moreover, Thunder Dragon had said that as long as he held onto that escape chess piece, he could return to that courtyard, which was a top-notch life-saving method in the Netherworld...
So, his Cat Face...should have its own style of action! Now that he possessed the Netherworld's life-saving chess piece, it was the perfect time to act heroically, suppress evil, and slay demons!
Li Qingshan's newfound clarity made him feel like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Grandma, you'll come with us into the Divine Sect's mountain gate and live in the same courtyard as us."
"I heard that the Elder's courtyard is very spacious. Elder Qing Shan, if you're willing, you can move in with us too."
Li Che invited.
Li Qingshan looked at Li Che with a complex and astonished expression.
Divine Crane Ridge Elder! The youngest Divine Crane Ridge Elder, the youngest of the Five Elders, a Divine Crane Master! Li Qingshan was dazed, as if the young man who had once been threatened by the Spirit Infant Cult in Flying Thunder City and had to rely on a small family for survival, had unknowingly become a towering figure.
The fifth elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Divine Crane Ridge...
...was a true big shot, even in Li Qingshan's eyes!
And today was the day Li Che would take up his post within the Divine Sect's mountain gate.
"Darling, I'm ready!"
Zhang Ya emerged from the room in a new outfit, looking energetic and vibrant.
She held Li Che's arm, her eyes sparkling with vitality.
Over the years, under Li Che's protection, Zhang Ya had transformed significantly. Not only did her cultivation make her radiant, but her aura had also grown more robust.
This was because she had the greatest confidence, which was her husband.
Outside the Fragrant Courtyard.
A carriage approached slowly, pulled by an extremely handsome dragon horse. Old Chen and the young man from Divine Crane Ridge, Lu Qingti, who had delivered the message to Li Che earlier, were there.
Old Chen was driving such a handsome carriage for the first time, and his face showed excitement. Even his energy meridians seemed to be affected, as if he couldn't control the reins.
Lu Qingti jumped off the carriage and saw Li Che and Zhang Ya walking out of the courtyard. He immediately greeted them respectfully.
"Qingti greets Elder Li and the Elder's wife."
Lu Qingti's attitude was very respectful, even though Li Che seemed younger than him. But Li Che had earned his position as a Divine Crane Ridge Elder through his abilities, so Lu Qingti had no choice but to be respectful.
The wise adapt.
Lu Qingti understood this principle.
Li Che lifted Lu Qingti and politely said a few words.
Then, he helped Mu Po onto the carriage, assisted by Zhang Ya.
"You two go back to the Divine Sect first. I'll find you when I return to the sect."
Li Qingshan, wearing a light robe, smiled and said, leaning on his walking stick.
Mu Po lifted the curtain and glanced at Li Qingshan. Their eyes met, and it was as if they understood each other's thoughts.
"Be careful," Mu Po said softly.
Li Qingshan nodded.
Li Che looked deeply into Li Qingshan's eyes, said nothing more, and boarded the carriage.
Old Chen and Lu Qing sat on the carriage, driving towards the direction of the Divine Sect's mountain gate.
The courtyard in Fragrant Lane already belonged to Li Che's family. Once Li Che's family left the Divine Sect's mountain gate, they could return to the courtyard.
The divine dragon horse, ridden by Shen Jun, trotted lightly, pulling the luxurious carriage, breaking through the wind and snow.
Before the mountain gate of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, beneath the Heaven and Earth plaque.
A tall figure stood there, none other than Gongshu Jingjun, the master of Divine Crane Ridge. With his hands behind his back, he looked up at the plaque, his eyes shimmering with divine light, as if the divine nature of heaven and earth was being stirred by his gaze.
Just standing there, he became the focal point of heaven and earth.
Li Che, sitting in the carriage, saw this scene, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker. He couldn't help but wonder which of the four divine transformations of the divine embryo Gongshu Jingjun was currently in.
The carriage came to a stop.
Li Che got out of the carriage with Zhang Ya.
"Master of the Ridge." Li Che bowed in respect.
"Hahaha, Ah Che has arrived."
Gongshu Jingjun withdrew his gaze from the Heaven and Earth plaque. Within this plaque lay the Dao essence left by the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Every divine embryo cultivator yearned to comprehend this Dao essence.
After introducing Zhang Ya to Gongshu Jingjun, Gongshu Jingjun nodded gracefully.
"Let's go, let's enter the sect together. We'll confirm your identity as the Fifth Elder of Divine Crane Ridge and receive the benefits that belong to you."
The group entered the mountain gate of the Divine Sect.
Jiao Shaoqiu, who had received the news early on, stood with the Great Grandmaster Nie Yang and Huang Jianjiu in the wind and snow, awaiting their arrival.
This was a divine embryo cultivator; they couldn't help but pay attention.
Nie Yang and Huang Jianjiu also bowed, their faces filled with reverence and solemnity.
Jiao Shaoqiu's expression was complex as he looked at Li Che. There was joy, but also a sense of relief and relaxation.
The higher Li Che's status, the more it meant help for Xi Xi.
Jiao Shaoqiu valued Xi Xi greatly. Even though Xi Xi had already become the Sect Master's wife's disciple, it was still a good thing for Xi Xi to receive more resources.
"Congratulations, Elder Li."
Jiao Shaoqiu spoke with emotion.
Nowadays, Li Che's status had surpassed theirs.
"Nie Yang, from today onwards, you are responsible for protecting Elder Li's safety... I heard that there was a murder case on Divine Crane Ridge. Su Huai Ming, the Divine Crane Master of the Su family, was killed by the Corpse God Cult... Elder Li's safety must be taken seriously."
"Nie Yang is about to have a breakthrough. Once he comprehends the sword intent, he can create a sword flower with a single strike and step into the realm of the Supreme Great Grandmaster. Protecting Elder Li's safety should be sufficient."
Upon hearing this, Gongshu Jingjun raised an eyebrow, "Oh? That's not bad. I was also planning to prepare a protective force for Ah Che, and now there's one ready."
If Nie Yang truly breaks through to the Supreme Great Grandmaster realm, then being Li Che's protective carriage driver would be sufficient.
"In the future, traveling between Divine Crane Ridge and Dao City with a Supreme Great Grandmaster for protection will indeed be safer."
Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they looked towards the distance.
There, two small figures suddenly appeared, floating towards them.
"Daddy!"
"Mother—!!!"
Xi Xi's shrill voice echoed from afar, like thunder rolling in the distance!
