Chapter 250: Xi Xi and the Great Black Dog Meet Again, Who Seized Yu Liqing's Three Souls and Seven
Chapter 250: Xi Xi and the Great Black Dog Meet Again, Who Seized Yu Liqing's Three Souls and Seven Pores (Part 2)
"
Once this idea took root, it couldn't be dispelled.
"Mainly, the Six Desires Divine Nature method I obtained from the Corpse Deity Sect's evil practitioner is meant to condense a Divine Incarnation, but it's a Corpse Deity Divine Incarnation..."
"It's not suitable for me."
"So, this Six Desires Evil Exterminating Lu Xuan Sword Immortal Odd Temple might be able to help me break through."
Li Cheng nodded slightly.
"However, breaking through is one thing, but if I want to condense the Divine Infant Golden Pill, I'll need to accumulate enough Divine Nature for each of the Seven Emotions Divine Incarnations."
"My innate talent for Divine Nature is average, and it's only with the help of my Celestial Artist Fruit clones that I can barely keep up."
"I hope to complete my accumulation of Divine Nature this year..."
Li Cheng shook his head.
With a snap of his fingers, a streak of light burst forth.
In the next moment, with the help of his Blood Qi, he transformed into a Vajra Ape, a Lower Rank Five Elders Mechanized Beast.
If not for this Vajra Ape, facing two Divine Seeds and the fearless Yu Liqing, it would have been a challenging battle.
"My arm is damaged, mainly due to the inferior materials... The Vajra Ape was originally a Six Courts Upper Rank Mechanized Beast, but with the enhancement of Blood Qi, it reached the Lower Rank Five Elders level..."
"However, the material strength is still inferior to a genuine Lower Rank Five Elders Mechanized Beast..."
"Fortunately, now that I've become an Elder of Divine Carving Ridge, I have the qualifications to search for high-rank spiritual wood."
Li Cheng smiled and waved his scroll, and one by one, his Celestial Artist Fruit clones emerged from the painting, surrounding the Vajra Ape and meticulously hammering and forging it.
Li Cheng took out a Five Elders Divine Nature Crystal and absorbed its essence for a while.
Then, he stood up and walked into the house, starting to draw the Locking Spirit Talisman he had secretly learned from the Divine Talisman Tower.
"The Locking Spirit Talisman is a Five Elders Rank talisman, and although there isn't a more detailed rank classification, the difficulty of drawing it is still significant."
"According to the Divine Carving Master's title classification..."
"Those who can create Middle and Upper Rank Five Elders Divine Carving are called Divine Carving Demigods, and their carvings possess Four Imperial Virtues... They are known as Divine Carving Masters! They are even rarer than Divine Warriors and Divine Embryos, truly the pinnacle of technical-oriented cultivators!"
"The same applies to Divine Talismans."
"Those who can draw Four Imperial Virtues talismans are called Divine Talisman Masters..."
Li Cheng slowly exhaled.
His ink-black robe fluttered as he rolled up his sleeves, gripped the wolf-hair brush, dipped it in thick ink, and began drawing the talisman's path on the rice paper.
Outside, snowflakes gently fell.
Inside, the brush danced in his hand.
Buzzing—
[Celestial Artist Fruit (Lv. 3, 90%)]
Within his chest.
The Celestial Artist Fruit trembled, steadily enhancing.
...
Time slipped away like sand between his fingers, and before he knew it, five days had passed.
Li Cheng gradually adjusted to his new identity as an Elder of Divine Carving Ridge in the Heavenly Origin Sect.
His daily life became orderly and structured, almost mechanical.
Li Cheng, the grandmaster, would wake up early, sit under the eaves, and absorb the clear and pure Divine Nature from the heavens and earth.
Within the sect's mountain gate, the Divine Nature was extremely dense. Apart from absorbing Divine Nature from crystals, Li Cheng also absorbed it from the heavens and earth, a process that allowed his martial arts will to resonate with the world.
The Divine Gale Grandmaster, united with heaven and man, needed to frequently sense the power of the heavens and earth. When sensing this power, his martial arts will would become more refined, and when it blossomed into the spirit of martial arts, he would challenge the Apex Three Flowers.
So, Li Cheng would take advantage of the clear and pure heavens during dawn to sense the world, awakening his spirit.
After waking up, he would go to the boss's restaurant to pack breakfast for Xi Xi and Zhang Ya.
After breakfast, Li Cheng took Xi Xi with him, and Nie Yang drove them, along with Xi Xi and Li Chengzhou, to the Divine Talisman Tower.
Li Chengzhou left Xi Xi in the hands of the Sect Master's Consort at the Divine Talisman Tower, while Li Cheng remained at the tower.
Nie Yang drove with Li Che, traveling swiftly out of Heavenly Origin Dao City towards Divine Carving Ridge.
Within Divine Carving Ridge, Li Che obtained a workshop of his own.
It was a massive Elder Manor prepared for Li Che by Gong Shu Jing Jun.
The land in Divine Carving Ridge was not valuable, and the Elder Manor was enormous, occupying over ten acres.
Li Che would work in the Elder Manor, carving divine falcons and perfecting his skills.
Although he had gained some insight into the Demi-Saint level from the Two-Hearted Great Sage divine falcon statue gifted by Elder Sun, he still had a long way to go to reach the Demi-Saint level.
Even with the assistance of the Immortal Craft Fruit, Li Che still needed some time to accumulate his skills.
The hallmark of a Divine Falcon Demigod was the ability to carve a Middle Rank Five Elders Temple God Divine Falcon statue!
To reach this level, one's martial arts, Divine Nature cultivation, and divine falcon carving skills must all meet the required standards, with none lacking.
After work, Li Che would return home with Nie Yang.
The dragon horse, with its majestic appearance, pulled the elegant carriage, galloping along the imperial road, breaking through the wind and snow, and howling as it traveled.
The journey was quite stable, just as Li Che had said; he was a sincere and honest Divine Carving Master.
Who would want to kill him?
However, Nie Yang dared not relax, mainly because he was worried about the Corpse Deity Sect.
After all, the Corpse Deity Sect was ruthless, even daring to kill the Su Family's Divine Falcon Master!
The night was hazy, and the wind and snow howled.
Li Che held Xi Xi and used the Thunder Chess Piece to arrive at a restaurant deep within Thunder Listening Alley.
Having promised the boss that he would bring Xi Xi, Li Che naturally kept his word.
Finally, he was bringing Xi Xi to the restaurant.
As if knowing that Xi Xi would come, the green stone ground of Thunder Listening Alley, covered in thick snow, was swept clean, and the melted snow left the ground dry and refreshing.
The Great Black Dog was not lying at the entrance as it usually did but was instead raising its head high, its dark eyes spinning, and eagerly waiting for Li Che and Xi Xi.
When it saw Li Che carrying Xi Xi, the Great Black Dog's eyes burst with dazzling brilliance.
Excited, it jumped around and ran towards Li Che, who was holding Xi Xi.
"Doggy!"
Xi Xi struggled out of Li Che's embrace, stepping on the clean ground, and took a few quick steps with her little short legs!
"Daddy, it's Doggy!"
Xi Xi's small face was filled with excitement and turned red.
Xi Xi and Doggy hugged and tumbled together, and with a quick flip, she skillfully rode on Doggy's back, playing with him.
The night was hazy, and the sounds of Xi Xi and Doggy playing echoed like silver bells through Thunder Listening Alley.
In front of the restaurant.
The boss, dressed in white, was smoking a cigarette. When he saw Xi Xi arrive, he immediately pinched out the cigarette and waved his hand to disperse the smoke.
His usually stern face now had a rare, lively smile.
"Come in, it's cold outside."
"Prepare some food."
The boss's voice became eight degrees softer.
Li Che stretched lazantly: "I didn't break my promise, I brought Xi Xi for some good food. Do you have any good wine to serve?"
The boss's face softened, and he said indifferently: "It's been half a month since you last said you'd bring Xi Xi to the restaurant."
Li Che felt slightly embarrassed: "Xi Xi was busy."
The boss pouted.
Then, his gaze shifted to Li Che's left arm.
After a brief pause, he expressionlessly averted his eyes.
...
...
Whoosh!
In a dark and deep alley within Heavenly Origin Dao City, the night wind was piercingly cold, freezing everything in its path.
A figure in a black robe with fluttering sleeves walked slowly, pushing through the wind and snow.
The hooded black robe completely concealed the figure's appearance.
Standing in the deep, dark alley, after an unknown amount of time, the ground, already dark, became even darker, as if filled with dense Death Qi and Corpse Qi, like thick, fragrant smoke, rolling in.
The smoke transformed, turning into a deep black jade color.
Gradually, three black jade-like figures took shape, enveloped in black robes, standing deep within the alley.
The hooded figure's eyes, a deep blue, stared at the three figures with a hint of madness.
"Jade Curse Corpse?"
"Three Upper Rank Jade Curse Corpses?"
A voice, cold and even slightly mad, came from beneath the raised hood, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
"Why not send a Demigod Corpse?"
Removing the hood, two pointed horns were revealed, along with black hair like a waterfall, and glowing white skin emitting a powerful blood energy.
"Your Highness, please calm down..."
"It's not that the Five Elders Corpse Deity Envoy doesn't want to come... but... the Dao City is too dangerous. It's rumored that the Sect Leader Great Deity of the Divine Sect has ended his seclusion. At this critical moment, the Five Elders Corpse Deity Envoy dares not step into the Dao City unless he can kill in one strike. So... Your Highness, please understand."
One of the Jade Curse Corpses spoke in a hoarse and low voice.
For the Corpse Deity Sect, losing a Demigod Corpse was an unbearable loss.
"Your Highness wants to eliminate the Netherworld, and our Corpse Deity Sect has the same intention. We are eager to cooperate, as the Netherworld acts viciously, killing our Corpse Deity Sect cultivators and smearing our name. It's truly despicable and evil..."
Ao Yuhxin's deep blue eyes shone with coldness: "I only want to eliminate the Netherworld, and I want everyone in the Netherworld to die. Can't your Corpse Deity Sect be more vicious and despicable?"
The three Jade Curse Corpses: "..."
They felt a bit strange, as it was the first time someone had accused them of not being vicious and despicable enough.
In the Netherworld, a powerful force emerged, transforming into a dragon-shaped beam of energy that harshly struck the entire alley, illuminating the area.
"Try saying that again?" Ao Yuh Xin's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"My Queen, please calm down. We are just accustomed to it. When we see a good corpse, we can't help but..."
The area around the alley was already arranged with an array, preventing any aura from escaping.
Ao Yuh Xin's exquisite beauty now carried a coldness of resignation.
"The Corpse Deity Sect... We've heard that their Corpse Deity Technique can forcefully gather the three souls and seven pores, collecting some of the deceased's spiritual intelligence. If you refine General You Liqing's corpse into a Curse Corpse, can you restore some of his spiritual intelligence?"
Ao Yuh Xin inquired.
Hmm?
Even the three Corpse Deity Envoys of the Corpse Deity Sect, including the Upper Rank Jade Curse Corpse, were stunned.
Holy shit!
Is the Queen serious?!
The Queen waved her hand, and You Liqing's blood-soaked and distorted corpse instantly appeared.
"I just want him alive, even if..." Her eyes revealed pain. "...he's no longer himself."
"My Queen, you're ruthless."
"The Pacifying King is confronting our Corpse Deity Sect in Ji Prefecture, while the Queen is doing this in Heavenly Dao City..."
"If the Pacifying King finds out about this..."
"Hehehe..."
"We'll give it a try."
An Upper Rank Jade Curse Corpse expert took a step forward, appearing before You Liqing's corpse with intensely burning eyes.
You Liqing's corpse...
A Three Flowers at the Apex Grand Master with unparalleled skills! In his eyes, it was a top-tier work of art.
The next moment, his black jade-like fingers trembled, and thick dead and corpse Qi swirled as a Corpse Curse Seal was released, emanating a twisted power.
As the black jade fingers finished forming the seal, he forcefully pressed it onto You Liqing's corpse.
It landed on the mud pill between You Liqing's eyebrows.
However, the Upper Rank Jade Curse Corpse expert, comparable to a Three Flowers at the Apex Grand Master, showed a subtle change in his eyes.
...
...
Heavenly Dao City, Heavenly Dao Sect.
Disciple City.
Elder Manor.
In a study, candlelight flickered.
Li Cheng sat in the study, holding a piece of ordinary wood with no divine nature, similar to the plain wood he had carved at Xu Family's Wood Carving Shop in Flying Thunder City.
A simple carving knife was gripped by his five fingers, moving nimbly.
Holding the knife in his left hand, as if aided by the gods, Li Cheng discovered his carving skills becoming increasingly exquisite.
Could it be related to the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber in his left arm?
The faint sound of the knife blade slicing through the wood's fibers drifted like a mosquito's hum.
On the statue carved from ordinary wood, there was a unique charm as if it were coming to life.
The divine nature between heaven and earth uncontrollably gathered within the plain wood, seemingly altering its quality.
Transforming the mundane into the divine!
Just as Li Cheng was immersed in the divine carving technique's essence, his brows furrowed.
"Seeking death."
The Heavenly Chessboard trembled.
Li Cheng flicked his finger, and You Liqing's Binding God Chess Piece shot out, glowing with black light, transforming into a tall, golden-armored figure.
As soon as You Liqing appeared, his armor clanged, and he immediately clasped his fists in a salute.
"My Lord."
"Did you sense it?"
"I did, my Lord. Someone is trying to capture and imprison my three souls and seven pores, and then... control me."
"It must be the work of the Corpse Deity Sect..."
"But how did the Corpse Deity Sect obtain your corpse?" Li Cheng's eyes flashed.
"Never mind, no need to worry about that."
"Since you are my Binding God, I will take care of this for you."
"Capturing your three souls and seven pores is indeed a despicable and vicious method..."
"Thank you, my Lord." You Liqing respectfully saluted.
Li Cheng flicked his finger.
Instantly, You Liqing's Binding God Chess Piece merged with the Corpse God Seal.
...
...
In the pitch-black alley, the Upper Rank Jade Curse Corpse expert who had unleashed the Six Courts Upper Rank Corpse Curse Seal was enveloped in rising dead Qi and swirling corpse Qi. His powerful divine perception expanded, causing the air to ripple with spreading waves.
However, he was unable to locate You Liqing's three souls and seven pores.
This left the originally enthusiastic Upper Rank Jade Curse Corpse expert feeling extremely disappointed.
"This... this..."
The Upper Rank Jade Curse Corpse expert couldn't understand, feeling deeply regretful.
After death, the three souls and seven pores shatter, merging into the limbs and bones, and as the fleshly body dissolves, they blend into heaven and earth.
Every corpse contains the three souls and seven pores of the deceased.
Unless...
Unless someone had extracted them in advance! His eyes narrowed, and cold sweat began to flow.
A pressure akin to a mountain descended upon him, leaving him unable to move a finger.
On his black jade-like body, flower-like curse seals bloomed.
Suddenly, You Liqing's closed-eyed, blood-soaked corpse opened its eyes.
Within its pupils...
The Corpse God Seal spun endlessly!
Finally finished writing, I started right after dinner. I've just completed the first chapter, and I'll be working on the second one soon. Hopefully, I'll be able to capture the atmosphere of the underworld even better. Also, I want to clarify that I was stuck in traffic, not gambling. I don't mix writing with gambling! Let's continue, everyone! Keep reading, and don't stop! I rely solely on your support for survival! Thank you!
