Chapter 264: Deception and Confrontation at the Strange Temple, Lu Chi's Support and Xi Xi's Slap to the Queen Consort (Part 1)
In the midst of the steady spring rain, the mysterious mist surged and billowed, resembling the waves in a fairyland.
The figure constantly shifted and transformed, its shape and appearance ever-changing.
A majestic figure, clad in the robe of a divine messenger, stood with his muscular arms crossed over his chest, embracing his chest.
The mist dissipated, and the air currents raged with ferocity!
Feng Zhiqi stood with his arms crossed, resembling an unparalleled martial artist standing atop a perilous peak, capable of bending all air currents with a mere glance.
"Scram."
Feng Zhiqi's gaze fixed on Huang Jianjiu, who wore a conical hat, and a peculiar glint flashed in his eyes, but his words were blunt and devoid of any courtesy.
Observing Huang Jianjiu, his powerful martial will, and the heaven-human sensation, Feng Zhiqi sensed something amiss.
It was as if he was facing not a person but a ghostly shadow!
Huang Jianjiu adjusted his conical hat, and a strange light flickered in his eyes. His heart trembled, but he also felt a sense of grievance.
"Senior Feng, it's me, Jianjiu."
Huang Jianjiu spoke with a hint of grievance.
He had been visiting this strange temple daily, and Feng Zhiqi had never stopped him before. Why was he coming out specifically to block his entry today?
Feng Zhiqi's eyes seemed to contain faint flashes of lightning, and with his powerful heaven-human sensation, he could distinguish between reality and illusion.
In fact, as one's martial arts improved, the ability to discern right from wrong, truth from illusion, became increasingly powerful.
As the martial will merged with the power of heaven and earth, the higher one's martial cultivation, the stronger the heaven-human sensation, and the more powerful the perception.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present..."
"You, Huang Jianjiu, have already left the Heavenly Origin Sect and are no longer on the true disciple registry of the divine sect. According to the agreement between the Temple Guardian Bureau and the Heavenly Origin Sect, if you were a true disciple, you would naturally have easy access. But you are not..."
"Therefore, I have the right to stop you."
Feng Zhiqi broke into a smile.
After a long while, his gaze lowered, and he sighed softly.
"This is the Strange Temple of Lu Xuan, the Exterminator of Six Desires. Child, in your current state, it's best to leave."
His voice trailed off.
Feng Zhiqi took a step forward, as if descending from the peak of a mountain. In an instant, his aura underwent a dramatic change! It was as if the heavens were collapsing, pressing down with countless howling winds and surging waves. The vast expanse of waves parted, and the raging air currents raged like dragons, bursting forth.
In the blink of an eye, the entire area of the strange temple began to shake, and dust filled the air! It was as if a peerless martial artist, invincible on the battlefield, with the might of a dragon, glared with fury.
Boom!
Huang Jianjiu felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Although he had reached the Sword Saint level, the sword in his hand had never failed him, even when he had killed Su Wuming.
However, Feng Zhiqi, a Third Opening Martial Saint, stood at the pinnacle of the martial path. He was an existence that Huang Jianjiu could not hope to match at this moment.
The gap between a First Opening Martial Saint and a Third Opening Martial Saint was as vast as the difference between a Grandmaster and a Great Grandmaster!
Within Huang Jianjiu's sword case, the sword intent resonated.
In an instant, it was as if he faced the charge of a million horses.
Boom!
Above, the heavens seemed to rumble with thunder.
Countless raindrops were torn apart, and the dense clouds churned like thick ink.
A Martial Saint, with their will resonating with heaven and earth, was known as the Heaven-Human Sensation. When this sensation reached its peak, a single thought could alter the celestial phenomena, changing the weather and the sky.
If one truly attained the Fourth Opening of the Martial Saint realm, an existence capable of opening the heavenly gate, they could even envelop the air currents of the surrounding land, causing them to surge and boil. With a single movement, wind and thunder would accompany, and a thought could incinerate mountains and seas!
"Senior Feng... I just want to take a look. Sword Immortal Lu Xuan passed on his sword intent to me. Now that I've returned, isn't it right for me to go and see?"
On Huang Jianjiu's body, the sword qi shone brilliantly, humming as if it were about to tear through the nine heavens.
Although he faced a Third Opening Martial Saint, an unparalleled martial artist, Huang Jianjiu showed no fear. At worst, he would die, and he was not afraid of death!
Buzzing sounds filled the air.
Huang Jianjiu clenched his five fingers, and in an instant, the sword qi raged and intertwined, twisting into a horizontal beam of sword light!
The sword light slashed towards Feng Zhiqi, and in a flash, it divided into nine!
"Senior Feng, please test the sword I've learned from the Sword Immortal Temple. This sword is called the 'Nine-One Style'!"
Huang Jianjiu's entire body glowed with brilliance, as if countless dark clouds were pierced, and golden sword qi rained down from the sky.
It was as if nine sword qi dragons were slashing towards Feng Zhiqi.
All around, the martial artists and cultivators of the Temple Guardian Bureau stared with awe, astonished by the display.
Yuwen Wenlong arrived and stood at a distance, his eyes shining as he observed the scene.
He wasn't worried about Feng Zhiqi. In his opinion, Huang Jianjiu's sword strike towards Feng Zhiqi was more of a request for guidance.
"Well done."
"Perfect, let me see how amazing this sword that has astonished the entire Heavenly Origin Dao City truly is!"
Feng Zhiqi's eyes burned with intensity. Facing Huang Jianjiu's sword strike, he felt not anger or rage but an endless sense of appreciation.
After all, Huang Jianjiu had the courage to draw his sword against him...
This alone demonstrated a spirit and courage that surpassed countless others.
Amid the howling wind, Feng Zhiqi's eyes brightened, and he extended his five fingers, slapping out with force.
From the start, the weather changed dramatically!
His crystal-like fingers trembled in the air, and he clenched them towards Huang Jianjiu's sword, which had divided into nine and then merged back into one.
Buzzing sounds filled the air.
Everyone seemed to see a towering mountain rising from the ground, standing between heaven and earth, unscalable!
Huang Jianjiu's sword qi was already impressive, but under the grasp of Feng Zhiqi's five fingers, all nine sword lights were seized and crushed into pieces! It was as if his palm contained a thousand transformations.
Countless sword qi raged and wreaked havoc around him.
Feng Zhiqi burst into laughter, "Indeed, a fine sword."
Huang Jian Jiu's eyes flashed, but since this wasn't a life-or-death battle, he hadn't exerted his full strength with that sword.
He gave Feng Zhiqi a strange look and then, with a tap of his toes, his entire body turned into black mist and disappeared.
Feng Zhiqi watched Huang Jian Jiu vanish, a smile lingering on his face before slowly dissipating.
"What a Huang Jian Jiu..."
Feng Zhiqi's eyes sparkled, and then, with his powerful Martial Dao Will merging with heaven and earth, a Heaven-Human Sensation akin to radar swept through the area.
His brows furrowed slightly.
"Just now...it seemed like something had hidden in Huang Jian Jiu's sword qi and slipped past him."
Feng Zhiqi, engrossed in admiring Huang Jian Jiu's sword, had overlooked something.
With a step forward, Feng Zhiqi instantly tore through the mysterious mist and crashed into it.
...
...
Boom!
The black mist exploded and then condensed back into shape.
Huang Jian Jiu's figure appeared next to Li Che, who was sitting cross-legged under the eaves, clutching a Middle Rank Fifth Level Divinity Crystal.
"I've taken care of the master."
Huang Jian Jiu crouched beside Li Che and spoke.
Li Che nodded, "Well done."
"Feng Zhiqi is too strong. A Martial Sage with three openings... His Martial Dao Will is almost in sync with the will of heaven and earth, terrifyingly powerful..."
Huang Jian Jiu shared his thoughts after facing Feng Zhiqi's sword.
Li Che quickly understood the strength of a Martial Sage with three openings.
It was no easy feat to face Huang Jian Jiu, who had unleashed at least eighty percent of his power with his sword, and with just a casual grip of his five fingers, he had broken through Huang Jian Jiu's sword technique.
This indicated that Feng Zhiqi had an overwhelming advantage over Huang Jian Jiu.
If Feng Zhiqi was this powerful, what about Ji Mo Li?
Li Che's eyes flickered with faint electrical arcs, and he felt a nameless pressure, like a dam breaking and a river surging.
Ji Mo Li, the Pacifying Warlord, was an unparalleled Martial Sage with four openings and a Divine Embryo Fourth Transformation Great Deity cultivator. His overall strength was even higher and more formidable than Feng Zhiqi's!
Huang Jian Jiu took a sip from the wine gourd he had taken from his wife, feeling even more refreshed now that their relationship was public, and he didn't have to worry about paying for his drinks.
"When I raided the Su family, the person I feared the most was actually Su Lei Ba, the old patriarch of the Su family. He had reached the Second Opening Martial Sage realm and was also a Divine Embryo First Transformation cultivator."
"I had to request the help of the Inner Gate's Great Elder. Otherwise, if Su Lei Ba had returned, I might not have even been able to kill Su Wuming."
Huang Jian Jiu explained.
"Only after truly stepping into the Martial Sage realm will you understand the gap between each opening. It's like crossing mountains and seas, and it's difficult to make up for the difference."
Li Che nodded.
"It's not hard to understand. The higher the realm, the more it seems like just a single realm difference, but the gap that needs to be bridged and made up... may be far beyond imagination."
"The higher the realm, the more terrifying the pressure of the rank, and the greater the impact."
Huang Jian Jiu nodded in agreement.
He rose unsteadily and bid farewell to Li Che before floating out of the courtyard.
He seemed to merge with the darkness, using the Corpse God Seal fused within his Brain Palace to search for the Corpse Deity Sect's evil followers within Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Li Che watched Huang Jian Jiu depart, then retracted his gaze and connected with the Flying Thunder Chess Piece.
This Flying Thunder Chess Piece was wrapped in the sword qi that Huang Jian Jiu had unleashed towards Feng Zhiqi. When Feng Zhiqi dispersed the sword qi, the chess piece fell within it.
As long as the Flying Thunder Chess Piece was in place, Li Che could go anywhere in the world!
His eyes flickered, and electricity surged!
The black ink-colored shirt fluttered, but Li Che didn't immediately use the Flying Thunder Chess Piece to enter the Strange Temple of the Six Desires Exorcising Evil Lu Xuan Sword Immortal.
Instead, he remained seated, absorbing the power of the Divinity Crystal that was swirling and condensing within the Middle Rank Fifth Level Divinity Crystal.
The spring rain fell gently, pattering on the black tiles and the courtyard, creating a crisp sound.
Li Che silently refined his divine energy, calming his mind and spirit.
He wasn't in a hurry to take action.
He waited for the night to fall.
...
...
Clatter-clatter!
The carriage wheels crushed the dry leaves on the official road, and the wet leaves, soaked in the spring rain, stuck to the wheels, mixing with the mud and rolling along.
An extremely luxurious carriage, pulled by a pure-blooded and noble dragon horse, galloped along the official road.
Inside the carriage, it was incredibly quiet, with thick soundproofing materials creating a soft and comfortable environment.
Lu Chi sat in the carriage, his entire body filled with surging divinity. He took out a precious pill and popped it into his mouth.
It was the Hundred Herbs Minor Revitalization Pill, a renowned Fifth Rank Divine Pill from the Guangling Dao Heavenly Pill Sect. Each pill was incredibly valuable, capable of altering one's Martial Dao foundation, purifying the physical body, and enhancing one's vital energy.
"Your Highness, we're almost at Heavenly Origin Dao City."
Outside the carriage, two tall and straight figures, sitting like divine spears, spoke in low voices.
Lu Chi opened his eyes, and in his stomach, the pill's medicinal properties were being refined, causing his vital energy to become even more powerful and boundless.
"Heavenly Origin Dao City..."
Lu Chi's eyes were devoid of emotion, but the Hell Lotus divine pattern between his eyebrows shone brightly.
"There's still some time before the Qingming Festival. It's good to arrive early and get accustomed to Heavenly Origin Dao City..."
Lu Chi said lightly.
"Your Highness, will we be staying at the Dao Lord's Manor when we enter Heavenly Origin Dao City?"
Across from Lu Chi in the carriage, an elderly man with silver hair slowly opened his eyes and asked.
Lu Chi tilted his head, lifted the curtain, and looked out at the continuous spring rain outside the window, momentarily lost in thought.
After a moment, he asked, "Old Mo, is the Dao Lord's Manor... where the Pacifying Warlord's wife resides?"
The old man nodded, "According to the message received, it is indeed so."
Lu Chi's eyes flashed, "Then let's stay."
Mo Lao paused and smiled lightly, "Alright, then we'll stay at the Dao Lord's Manor. I'll send a message ahead."
He was somewhat surprised. Why would the prince, who clearly despised the Pacifying Warlord's Consort, want to stay at the Dao Lord's Manor?
However, Mo Lao didn't mind.
"I never expected that the prince would be able to obtain the Temple Deity's Divine Lineage inheritance in the Strange Temple of the Wrathful Third Prince of the Eight-Armed Lotus. Moreover, the prince was determined to sever his seven emotions and six desires, and passed the trials of the Third Prince's bone-stripping and flesh-returning to his parents..."
"It's truly a relief for the queen..."
"The queen is very pleased for the prince. In the royal family, there are no relatives, and in the queen's eyes, the prince has finally earned the qualification to compete with the other princes."
Mo Lao stroked his beard and said.
Lu Chi's eyes were indifferent, "It's just a faint hope. I can hardly see any hope, and my mother has never placed any expectations on me."
"The National Teacher asked you to accompany me, but it's just a consolation. I ultimately failed to meet the National Teacher's expectations... I'm well aware of my own talent. Moreover, I've only obtained two-tenths of the Third Prince's Temple Deity's Divine Lineage inheritance..."
"If I could obtain over five-tenths of the Third Prince's Temple Deity's Divine Lineage inheritance, perhaps I would have a chance."
Upon hearing this, Mo Lao was speechless and didn't say more.
The children of the royal family always mature faster than others.
Inside the carriage, silence fell.
Lu Chi gazed at the spring rain, the overflowing spring rain intertwined with the leaden clouds.
In his mind, he faintly recalled the image of a chubby little girl, sitting on a tricycle, laughing happily.
He took a deep breath and suddenly closed his eyes.
"We are here for the last true disciple of Lu Zongzhu. If I can become his disciple..."
"Then there's a greater chance."
"It will also add another bargaining chip at the Queen's Peach Blossom Victory Banquet."
Lu Chi spoke in a deep voice and opened his eyes again, his gaze cold and emotionless.
Nothing but interests remained.
...
...
The leaden clouds rolled, and strands of crystal-like raindrops leaped from behind the clouds, slicing through the sky like sword lights, reflecting faint glimmers in the night.
Crackle, crackle!
A streak of azure electric arc danced and leaped in the clouds, like a divine dragon's tail!
With the speed of lightning, the spring thunder roared!
Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Thunder Listening Lane.
Rainwater flowed down the black tiles, gathering into a transparent waterfall at the eaves.
Li Che released the middle-rank fifth-level Divine Essence Crystal he was holding.
