Chapter 264: Deception and the Encounter with the Sword Immortal in the Temple (Part 2)
Chapter 264: Deception and the Encounter with the Sword Immortal in the Temple (Part 2)
Rainwater flowed down the black tiles, gathering into a transparent curtain at the eaves.
Li Che released the five-rank intermediate Divine Crystal he was holding, and the Divine Essence within the crystal trembled slightly, splashing water droplets, with only a third remaining.
[Dao Fruit: Heart Without Lust (Level 5, 5%)]
As expected, the new rank Divine Crystal's first Divine Essence, Heart Without Lust, after being absorbed, increased the speed of maturity significantly.
However, once it reached saturation, the speed slowed down.
Putting away the Divine Crystal with a third of the Divine Essence remaining, Li Che bathed in the pouring rain, and the spring breeze blew, carrying the rain mist.
He stood up, and his ink robe fluttered in the wind.
He entered the room.
Six of his painting-divine body clones held the Divine Crystal, absorbing the Divine Essence, filling up the Six Desires Divine Foundation.
"Six Desires Exorcist..."
Li Che exhaled, and his eyes flashed with a bright light.
Inspired by Huang Jian Jiu, Li Che decided to directly forge a divine form using the power of the Six Desires Exorcising Evil Lu Xuan Sword Immortal Temple Deity, which seemed like a good choice.
A six-in-one divine form...
Could it be done?
Li Che's heart also doubted, but this thought, once born, couldn't be extinguished.
It's still better than forging six divine forms of the Corpse Deity, right?
His two fingers came together, and he tore open the air, taking out a cute, cow-masked mask and covering his face.
He put on the straw hat and black robe.
Hum Bang—
A muffled sound, and Li Che's body suddenly soared, becoming towering like a tower, his muscles twitching and jumping like thunder.
His five fingers slowly moved across the mask, and he raised his head, his robust black hair dancing wildly, and beneath the mask, his pupils emitted golden smoke and electric arcs.
His five fingers clenched, and when he clenched a white flying thunder chess piece.
Li Che's body suddenly disappeared from the Independent Workshop Courtyard.
The mysterious mist churned, and the thin strands, like writhing flood dragons, silently ravaged through the Mysterious Temple!
Li Che, wearing the cow demon mask, stood in the Mysterious Mansion formed by the interwoven dissipation and scattering of the Six Desires Exorcising Evil Lu Xuan Sword Immortal Temple Deity.
He looked around, as if he had entered a new world.
Hua Hua—
Looking down, the ground was covered in puddles, reaching over his feet, and a piercing chill emanated from them.
Li Che circulated his energy, dispelling the cold.
He raised his hand and pointed at his forehead.
The Heavens and Earth Chessboard suddenly rose, isolating his energy.
Then, his forehead flesh tore open to both sides.
A pair of dissipating golden eyes emerged, the Star-Grabbing Eye.
Infinite analysis, returning to truth!
The Star-Grabbing Eye's golden light scattered, and he swept his gaze like an ocean, gazing at the distant Mysterious Mansion.
The mysterious mist churned, like boiling water in the cold, misty air.
The Star-Grabbing Eye's gaze swept, and the mysterious mist was seen through.
In an instant.
A dazzling sword light soared from the distant horizon, rising into the sky!
Brilliant radiance poured in, rippling the mist.
Li Che's eyes widened.
The location of the Mysterious Temple!
The Five Mysterious Temple...
In truth, Li Che's visit to the Mysterious Temple this time was mainly to test, and he didn't plan to deal with the Temple Deities like the others.
After all, this is the Five Elders Mysterious Temple, and its Temple Deity… cannot be easily provoked.
Li Che's toe touched down.
A powerful surge of vital energy poured into his foot, and in an instant, the water exploded!
Floating Void Eight Prayers Step!
After the water exploded, Li Che's figure shot forward, leaving a continuous trail of afterimages, as if shattering the air and stirring up wave after wave of white foam!
His goal was clear: the Mysterious Temple situated within the Mysterious Mansion.
Most cultivators entering the Mysterious Mansion would lose their sense of direction, making it extremely difficult to find the specific location of the Mysterious Temple amidst the Mysterious Mist.
Even Li Che, relying solely on the Heavens and Earth Chessboard, would have his senses and perceptions obscured, leaving him to rely on his eyes.
This was because, within the Mysterious Mansion, divine consciousness would be weakened by the Mysterious Mist, reducing visibility to only about ten meters.
Fortunately, Li Che possessed the Star-Grabbing Eye.
The Star-Grabbing Eye’s ability to analyze endlessly and perceive the truth, allowed Li Che to navigate the Mysterious Mist with ease.
Bang bang bang—
The Heavens and Earth Chessboard isolated his aura, and Li Che's massive, robust body charged forward at breakneck speed, his direction clear.
The oppressive feeling from the surroundings grew stronger and stronger.
It was as if a sharp sword intent was constantly approaching, almost pressing against his forehead.
Li Che’s eyes narrowed.
He activated the Thunder Magnetic Body.
Instantly, the aura around him changed, and with the isolation provided by the Heavens and Earth Chessboard, Li Che seemed to vanish completely from the Mysterious Mansion.
The terrifying oppression of the Mysterious Mansion was completely neutralized, leaving him unaffected.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The closer he got to the Mysterious Temple, the more the calm water on the ground began to surge, the waves crashing and stacking into a line of white foam.
Pap pap pap!
Each wave would explode upon impact!
Suddenly.
Li Che halted, his brows slightly furrowed.
He looked into the distance.
In the distance, the Mysterious Mist was heavy and hazy.
Two enormous black silhouettes were reflected.
The Star-Grabbing Eye glowed, instantly tearing through the Mysterious Mist to reveal the two colossal figures.
They were two massive corpses, their bodies black and jade-like with intricate patterns, swollen and bloated, each kneeling on one knee with a giant sword planted in front of them.
They resembled enormous black jade sculptures, devoid of life but radiating a terrifying oppressive aura!
"Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses!"
"And… they are Demi-God level Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses!"
Behind the Bull Demon mask, Li Che's eyes glowed with a golden mist, his expression grave.
These two Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses…
Exerted an immense oppressive aura on Li Che, far surpassing even Huang Jianjiu, who once used the Corpse Deity Seal to forge a Demi-God corpse body.
They were both Upper Rank Five Elders’ Demi-God level Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses!
Absolutely not to be reckoned with!
Li Che had not expected that, despite shielding his aura and senses, he would encounter two Demi-God Cursed Corpses blocking his path at the entrance of the Mysterious Temple…
Moreover, Li Che had a premonition that even with the Heavens and Earth Chessboard and the Thunder Magnetic Body shielding him, he would not be able to bypass these two to enter the Mysterious Temple.
The domains of these two Demi-God Cursed Corpses distorted the entire hundred-meter range around the Mysterious Temple!
Just like the Eight-Armed Lotus Wrathful Third Prince Mysterious Temple on the Nine-Dragon River in the Golden Light Manor, the area within a hundred meters of the Mysterious Temple in the Mysterious Mansion was a forbidden zone.
"However… it’s not a big problem."
Li Che snapped his fingers, and two black Binding Spirit Chess Pieces floated out, expanding in the wind to form two figures.
One was Huang Jianjiu, and the other was You Liqing.
You Liqing, clad in golden armor, suddenly opened his eyes, electric light intertwining.
Having refined the Martial Saint Su Wenxi’s Captured Deity power, You Liqing's Captured Deity aura surged, and he finally broke through to the Martial Saint realm.
"Lord!"
You Liqing respectfully clasped his fists.
Even after breaking through to the Martial Saint realm, the Captured Deity will etched into his three souls and seven spirits remained unchanged.
Li Che looked at the two terrifying Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses…
He took a deep breath.
He instructed Huang Jianjiu and You Liqing to each hold a Thunderbolt Chess Piece, and to follow the same method to send the pieces into the Mysterious Temple.
Pong!
With a resounding clang, You Liqing lowered his golden mask, covering his face, then clenched his fingers, gripping the eight-foot-long python spear, and transformed into a golden light, dashing forward in an instant!
Huang Jianjiu also smiled, his sword qi sweeping out as he rode the wind, his sword in hand!
The Heavens and Earth Chessboard dissipated its cover…
The auras of the two Captured Deities instantly triggered the two Temple Guardian Demi-God Cursed Corpses!
Pap pap pap!
The endless water surface seemed to boil, as countless droplets jumped and bounced, the sound of splashing never ceasing.
Roar—!!!
A fierce gust of air exploded instantly, and the two ten-meter-tall Temple Guardian Demi-God Cursed Corpses opened their eyes, their crimson gaze sweeping like four infrared beams!
Instantly, countless dragon roars erupted from You Liqing’s body, the eight-foot-long python spear in hand, and the two divine seeds exploded!
Blood mist filled the air, and the divine seeds roared.
The Heavenly King Wrathful Gaze Ten-meter Serpent Spear!
Huang Jianjiu laughed loudly, his sword light sweeping out, shimmering as he lunged forward.
Pong—!!!
The giant swords were suddenly drawn, and the two Temple Guardian Demi-God Cursed Corpses roared, their sharp fangs protruding, their appearance hideously deformed and terrifying, stimulated by the Temple Deity’s divine nature.
Li Che stood on the surging water, his eyes behind the mask furrowed, staring at the two hideous and terrifying Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses, recalling the countless terrifying existences he had seen through the Mysterious Mist in the Mysterious Mansion…
These Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses… were they really influenced and mutated by the Temple Deity’s divine nature?
This Six Desire Exorcist Lyuan Sword Immortal Mysterious Temple…
Why would the Temple Deity’s divine nature corrupt and create such demonic Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses?
(End of Chapter)
Since it's the Six Desires Exorcising Evil... How could it give rise to evil creatures?
Or perhaps...
These Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses, are they not tainted by the divine nature of the temple deity?
A hint of doubt gradually arose in Li Che's mind.
The Mysterious Mansion, the Mysterious Mist, the Strange Shrine...
Green fingers, a dead temple deity...
One by one, these pieces of information flashed through Li Che's eyes, filled with mystery, leaving him perplexed and with a feeling of being ensnared by a vast net, almost suffocating.
But soon, he closed his eyes, banishing all the information from his mind.
Those things were too far removed from him.
The only thing he needed to do now was to enhance his own strength.
Only when his own power became formidable enough, when facing calamity and terror, would he have the capital to clench his fists in defiance.
...
...
Temple Surveillance Office.
The Five Elders, who were at the Sixth Desire Exorcising Evil Lyuan Sword Immortal Odd Temple, outside the Mysterious Mansion.
Feng Zhi Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp gleam of light, almost tangible, merged with his martial will and the power of heaven and earth, forming a terrifying heavenly human resonance, creating a domain that warped everything!
"How dare you!"
"To dare provoke the Five Elders' Strange Shrine!"
Feng Zhi Qi's face was filled with rage.
The tremor that erupted from the Mysterious Mansion was immediately detected by the supervising divine messengers, who then spread the news.
Feng Zhi Qi's martial will, which had been focused on the Mysterious Mansion, also sensed something amiss.
Someone had gone to provoke those two Temple Guardian Demi-Gods!
Who was it?
Such audacity!
A suicidal act!
Most importantly...
Feng Zhi Qi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his heart was a mix of rage and intrigue.
Who...
Could actually bypass his watchful presence and enter the Sword Immortal's Mysterious Mansion without him noticing?
"Guard all exits, and anyone who leaves, other than me, will be killed!"
"Yes!"
All the supervisors and messengers who had gathered shouted in response.
In the distance.
Within the Temple Surveillance Office residence, Yu Wen Wenlong, who was handling paperwork, also sensed something amiss and hurried over.
But Feng Zhi Qi paid him no heed.
His body leaned forward, and his vital energy was like countless enraged dragons roaring, rapidly sweeping out. In an instant, the surrounding airflow exploded, revealing a void, and the howling airflow became a raging storm!
Transforming into a streak of light, he plunged into the mysterious mist and burst into the Mysterious Mansion.
And as Feng Zhi Qi crashed into the mansion.
Li Che's black robe billowed, and he adjusted his Bull Demon mask.
Passing through the two Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses, he landed in front of the temple's door, on the Thunderbolt Chess Piece.
Shifting positions, he deceived the heavens and the sea.
Stepping into this ancient Sword Immortal temple with its soaring eaves and corners.
Meeting the Sword Immortal.
...
...
Rustling—
Rain poured down from the sky, a torrential downpour.
In front of the Dao Lord Residence.
The young Dao Lord, Yue Weizheng, stood with an umbrella, accompanied by several attendants, waiting in the night.
In the distance, a luxurious carriage, like a blossoming flower in the heavy spring rain, slowly approached, its wheels splashing through the puddles, creating white waves, and finally stopped in front of the City Lord's Residence.
The curtain was lifted.
Mo Lao's white hair fluttered, as he held an umbrella for Lu Chi, and they exited the carriage together.
Yue Weizheng's gaze landed on Mo Lao, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
This person... seems somewhat familiar.
He seems to be a Divine Embryo cultivator under the Imperial Scholar Xie Yun Shen!
However, Yue Weizheng couldn't determine his exact identity.
Yue Weizheng looked at Lu Chi, and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
He had heard of Lu Chi, who had previously concealed his identity in the Golden Light Residence, and participated in the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Third Prince Enigma Temple event.
It was said that this little-known prince in the Divine Capital, with ordinary talent, had obtained two-tenths of the Third Prince's divine nature.
If not for Li Nuoxi obtaining seven-tenths, this prince might have obtained at least five-tenths.
That Dao Lord in casual attire was very interested in the Golden Light Residence's Hell Lotus Wrathful Third Prince Enigma Temple...
If Prince Lu Chi could obtain five-tenths of the divine nature, he might be able to directly gain the support and backing of the Imperial Scholar Xie Yun Shen.
"Your Highness, your accommodations have been arranged, please follow me."
Yue Weizheng said with a smile.
After the carriage was parked, the group entered the Dao Lord Residence.
The Dao Lord Residence was vast.
Passing through the corridors, and the waterside pavilion.
Lu Chi's large head suddenly paused, and his gaze swept to the distance, where the Dragon Queen Consort, Ao Qingqing, was training with some agitation in the distant pavilion.
"If you're serious, how can you win against that lowly girl Li Nuoxi by slacking off like this?"
The Dragon Queen Consort was strict, holding a ruler in her hand, and her gaze lifted as if sensing something.
She saw the few frowning at the corridor.
In the corridor.
Lu Chi's gaze was indifferent.
"Is she the Dragon Maiden who married into the Dragon God Clan through Prince Ji Maoli?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Weizheng's face revealed surprise, thinking that this little-known prince in the Divine Capital was planning to curry favor with the Dragon Queen Consort.
"Indeed."
"Should I invite the Dragon Queen Consort to meet Your Highness?"
Yue Weizheng asked with a smile.
"That lowly girl?"
Lu Chi turned his expressionless face, looking at Yue Weizheng beside him.
"Mo Lao... take care of her."
