Chapter 249: Xi Xi's Shock at the Great Talent, the Dao Fruit Suppresses the Three-Pronged Two-Blade
Chapter 249: Xi Xi's Shock at the Great Talent, the Dao Fruit Suppresses the Three-Pronged Two-Bladed Sword (Part 2)
"Old Nie, relax. There's no need to be so tense or put too much pressure on yourself... I, Li Che, have always been kind and honest, living a straightforward life. No one will come to harm me."
Li Che smiled reassuringly.
Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Nie Yang's face.
Indeed...
They were quite familiar with each other.
Li Che was an extremely honest and straightforward person.
He had been punctual in his daily work at the Heaven Gazing Office, either carving or cultivating, leading a dull and ordinary life.
A person like that...
Who would even think of killing him?
"Dinner's ready!" Zhang Ya's voice, wrapped in an apron, echoed from the kitchen.
Xi Xi immediately averted her gaze from Li Chengzhou, preferring the latter between beauty and food.
"Daddy, you're back!"
Xi Xi pounced up, only to see Li Che, who was surprised.
Li Che really wanted to give his daughter's smooth forehead a good thump.
"Go call Mu Po Po, then wash up and eat."
"Old Chen, Old Nie, and Cheng Feng, come along too."
Li Che called out with a smile.
Xi Xi, being so tiny, darted off like a gust of wind.
A moment later, Mu Po Po emerged from the warm inner room, supported by someone.
After the meal.
Li Che took Zhang Ya, holding Xi Xi, and asked Nie Yang to drive them to the Divine Talisman Tower to visit the Zongzhu Furen.
Zhang Ya even brought along the braised pork she had made.
"Mommy, the Zongzhu Furen, my little master, definitely won't like braised pork. She'll be afraid of gaining weight and becoming less cute."
"Xi Xi isn't afraid. Xi Xi can help the Zongzhu Furen, my little master!"
Xi Xi's chubby face wore a serious expression.
Then, she was tapped on the forehead by Zhang Ya, who was slightly annoyed.
"Elder Li, we've arrived at the Divine Talisman Tower."
Nie Yang pulled the reins, and the handsome dragon horse neighed, slowing down gradually.
Li Che, holding Xi Xi and leading Zhang Ya, stepped out of the luxurious carriage and thanked Nie Yang before heading into the Divine Talisman Tower.
"Come up."
As soon as they entered the Divine Talisman Tower, the Zongzhu Furen's cool and aloof voice drifted down from the ninth floor.
Li Che bowed respectfully and, along with Zhang Ya and Xi Xi, started climbing the stairs.
The ancient tower was filled with a rich ink fragrance, and along the winding wooden staircase, numerous yellow and red talisman papers were quietly framed in the paintings.
Li Che walked slowly, his gaze sweeping over the talismans, revealing a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Deep within his chest, the usually calm Immortal in Painting Dao Fruit stirred with excitement.
His eyes seemed to swirl with ink, memorizing every detail of the talismans and storing them in his mind.
"This is... the Locking Spirit Talisman?"
Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly.
It was recorded in the "Great Jing Qingyun Dao Xuanfu Shenzong Shenfu Bu."
The Locking Spirit Talisman simultaneously locks the lifespan, essence, energy, and spirit of both the user and the target, resulting in an extremely terrifying power when unleashed.
However, when the Locking Spirit Talisman is fully activated, it instantly drains a Divine Talisman Master's essence, energy, and spirit, making it both powerful and risky.
It is a technique of the Mystic Symbol Divine Sect's leader, a way to infuse oneself into the talisman, much like how some Divine Armament Masters forge legendary weapons by immersing themselves in the furnace.
It's also a method for Divine Talisman Masters to break through their own talisman creation limits.
"Capturing Spirit is one of my divine abilities... equivalent to me. The spirits I capture submit to me, and I control their life and death with a single thought."
The captured spirit was a deceased person, but it had been revived through Capturing Spirit. Could the Locking Spirit Talisman be used to lock the lifespan of a captured spirit?
This thought made Li Che eager to try it out.
If it worked, he would have one more deadly move in his arsenal.
With this in mind, Li Che closed his eyes, and in his mind's eye, a drop of thick ink seemed to spread like a dragon dancing in a pool of clear water.
The dragon's pattern resembled the design of the Locking Spirit Talisman...
The Locking Spirit Talisman, one of the Five Elders' Talismans, had no rank distinction. Its power depended on the amount of lifespan locked.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes and began to sketch the Locking Spirit Talisman in his mind.
Normally, a Locking Spirit Talisman was a single talisman...
Why did this Zongzhu Furen draw seven Locking Spirit Talismans?
Could it be an improved version of the Locking Spirit Talisman? Li Che's thoughts stirred.
As he sketched, his heart pounded.
Thump, thump, thump...
The Immortal in Painting Dao Fruit pulsated vigorously.
It was as if invisible sound waves were slowly spreading, creating a unique aura.
...
...
Divine Talisman Tower, Ninth Floor.
Behind the folding screen.
A young man in white, holding the petite Zongzhu Furen on his lap.
The Zongzhu Furen was well-behaved, a stark contrast to her domineering and wild nature when suppressing the Dragon Queen Consort.
At this moment, she was like a docile little flower in her man's embrace.
The white-clad youth listened quietly as the Zongzhu Furen chattered away.
Living alone in the Divine Talisman Tower, she felt lonely when he secluded himself for decades. But due to the Locking Spirit Talisman, she avoided public appearances, keeping her identity hidden.
So, she endured loneliness on her own.
Sometimes, she felt unhappy, but she was obedient.
"Xi Xi is my new disciple! She's very talented! She has the potential to be like me in my prime!"
"Husband, aren't you planning to take on one last personal disciple? I think Xi Xi is excellent. Let her become your disciple!"
"Xi Xi's future is bright. She will definitely surpass me in her achievements!"
The Zongzhu Furen, Xuan Qisha, nodded vigorously, kicking her crystal-clear feet.
The youth occasionally responded to her chatter.
Suddenly.
The youth's gaze sharpened, tilting his head slightly as if a gentle breeze had brushed his face.
"Dao Yun?"
"Where did Dao Yun come from?"
The youth's mind stirred, and he instantly sensed a family of three, bickering as they slowly climbed the stairs.
...
...
Li Che met the Zongzhu Furen again, who appeared to be only three years old but had an incredibly mature demeanor.
Her strength was formidable.
The powerful Dao Fruit warned Li Che that the Zongzhu Furen was terrifyingly strong...
Could seven Locking Spirit Talismans have such a frightening effect?
"I'll take Xi Xi as my disciple and teach her the art of divine talismans. For the Zongzhu's personal disciple assessment, she'll have to rely on her own abilities."
The Zongzhu Furen spoke while eating the braised pork.
"Let me share some intelligence with you. The Zongzhu's personal disciple assessment is coming soon, so you mustn't slack off during these days!"
The Zongzhu Furen spoke with her mouth full, her eyes narrowed.
Li Che's eyes widened at her words.
If Xi Xi became the Zongzhu's personal disciple, her safety in the Primordial Dao City would be guaranteed.
"Although I know your family has just reunited, the Zongzhu's personal disciple assessment is crucial. Even though the Zongzhu is my husband, I can't show favoritism. If Xi Xi wants to become the Zongzhu's personal disciple, she must pass the assessment fairly."
"So, for the next few days, Xi Xi will come to me during the day to cultivate. In exchange for some braised pork, I'll give her special training!"
The Zongzhu Furen clenched her tiny fist and took a hearty bite of the braised pork, speaking with determination.
Zhang Ya's face lit up with a smile, and she naturally had no objections. She quickly expressed her gratitude.
Li Che also smiled warmly, bowing in thanks to the Zongzhu Furen.
After chatting with the Zongzhu Furen for a while, Xi Xi stayed in the Divine Talisman Tower, while Li Che and Zhang Ya rode the carriage back to the Elder's courtyard.
At the tip of the Divine Talisman Tower.
Snowflakes fluttered in the wind.
A young man in white stood there, blending into the snow, motionless.
"Dao Yun... is gone."
"The fleeting appearance of Dao Yun, is it a sudden resonance with heaven and earth, or... a human-made seal?"
"Resonance with heaven and earth, could it be from that little girl, Xi Xi?"
"Xi Xi's talent... is it too monstrous?"
"If it weren't for..."
The young man's gaze deepened as he watched the carriage gradually blur in the wind and snow, deep in thought.
...
...
Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Outer Disciple City.
Elder's Courtyard.
After saying a few words to Zhang Ya, Li Che entered the study. The spacious room was filled with numerous spirit woods.
Li Che, under the pretext of carving wood sculptures, asked Zhang Ya and the others not to disturb him unless necessary.
Upon entering the study...
Li Che clenched his five fingers, and the white Thunderbolt Chess Piece in his palm emitted a cool glow.
In an instant, he appeared in the courtyard of an independent workshop in the Listening Thunder Alley, outside the outer city of the Heavenly Origin Dao City.
The courtyard was quiet, with snow gently falling, covering the ground in a thick layer.
Li Che sat cross-legged.
His eyes half-closed, he focused on his left arm, where the flesh of his brow was torn, revealing the Star-Picking Eye emitting a radiant light.
At that moment, he saw the mythical weapon seemingly embedded in his arm.
However, as Li Che's consciousness sank into the weapon, it was like a needle in the ocean, not causing even a ripple.
"Can't control it... because my cultivation is insufficient?"
"But, can I, like Xi Xi, borrow the power of the divine weapon to temper my body?"
Li Che's eyes narrowed.
Xi Xi had used the divine weapon to temper her physique, making her body extremely robust. At just five years old, she already possessed the physique of a sect master.
Li Che himself was unmatched in horizontal cultivation, and if he could obtain the mythical weapon, the divine weapon's tempering and enhancement might fully unlock his physical limits.
Within the Niwan Inner Vision, his divine sense stirred again and again.
However, the Righteous Thunder Exorcising Three-Pronged Double-Edged Sword was aloof and indifferent, completely ignoring Li Che. No matter how he stimulated his primordial spirit, it remained unmoved.
Although it released a bit of divine nature, this divine nature did help Li Che temper his body, but...
It was too weak.
The tempering enhancement from that tiny bit of divine nature was even smaller than a mosquito's bite.
Li Che's body was too strong, and without careful perception, he couldn't even sense the weapon's tempering.
You call this tempering?
This divine weapon was too perfunctory.
Li Che's eyebrows furrowed, and his mind stirred slightly.
Within the Heavens and Earth Chessboard.
The Qitian Zhongmian's face suddenly burst into brilliance, like a spiritual ape leaping out, stimulating the Three-Pronged Double-Edged Sword.
However...
There was no reaction.
It was like a stubborn piece of meat, unmoved by any stimulation.
Unlike the Purple Flame Spear Fire Tip Spear in Xi Xi's arm, which was like a thorn, easily triggered.
Li Che's eyes narrowed, and his divine sense stirred. The Hell Lotus Yin God Sword's blade glowed like an ink dragon soaring.
It seemed to be shouting, "Come on, let's fight!"
However...
The Three-Pronged Double-Edged Sword remained unmoved.
Li Che raised an eyebrow, truly unconvinced.
He lifted his hand and touched his brow.
Emulate Heaven and Earth Spirit Clarity True Monkey!
Monkey!
Provoke it!
Roar!
The Spirit Clarity True Monkey roared, but the Three-Pronged Double-Edged Sword didn't budge, acting like a stubborn salted fish.
You call yourself a sword?
It should be called the Three-Pronged Double-Edged Salted Fish!
It seems... I need to bring out the big guns.
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
Li Che inhaled and exhaled, his blood and energy surging, his body expanding, his muscles bulging like stacked stems, his blood flowing like molten mercury, his nine large tendons in his back vibrating like thunder in the human realm!"
Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit!
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed, like a drumbeat, slamming into the ground.
T
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
Amidst the scorching currents.
Li Che's left hand was like molten lava, with blood flowing slowly like fire.
His jet-black hair grew wildly, cascading down to his waist, dancing like a cape in the wind, while countless blue veins covered his arms like raging dragons roaring incessantly.
Li Che's eyes gleamed with golden light, cold and merciless.
His five fingers clenched tightly.
In an instant, the Three-Pronged Double-Edged Sword hidden in his arm trembled under the impact of the Dao Fruit's energy...
Finally, it began to vibrate!
A rich and pure divine nature erupted from this unruly divine weapon...
Although it wasn't much, the surging divine nature gushed into Li Che's limbs and bones, forming a powerful force to temper his physique.
There was even a clanging sound of hammer and chisel emanating from his bones!
Faintly, the divine nature pouring out of the Three-Pronged Double-Edged Sword slowly began to swirl and condense into a blood-red seed!
Seed Martial Art!
Indeed...
It seems...
Still need stimulation, once stimulated, good things come out!
If it weren't for Li Che feeling the raging tempering power, it was truly domineering, like countless sword lights clanging.
Li Che even considered arranging for the remaining five Dao Fruits to take turns tempering this stubborn weapon.
Feeling the terrifying power of the divine weapon's tempering, Li Che's black hair fluttered, his eyes shining brightly, as he raised his right hand, clenching his five fingers. The raging currents of air surged, and the scorching waves of energy expanded like ripples.
At this moment, with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit fully activated, his right hand was the same, with countless veins bulging like coiling dragons, muscles like earth dragons winding through steel, and blood beneath the skin, red as molten lava, surging like molten mercury!
Li Che's golden-smoked eyes, with extremely calm thoughts, stared at his right hand.
"I always feel like my right hand is missing something..."
After pondering for a moment.
Li Che's low laughter echoed in the courtyard, filled with surging air currents.
"It's missing a staff."
7000 words, transition chapters are hard to write, I've pulled out my hair, and it's another update from the underworld. It's tough to keep up with 15,000 words a day, but let's keep reading, folks! Give old Li some motivation!
