Chapter 267: Nuan Xi and Her Underworld Masters, Qingming Shenzong's Ancestral Worship and Divine Di
Chapter 267: Nuan Xi and Her Underworld Masters, Qingming Shenzong's Ancestral Worship and Divine Discipleship (Part 1)
Vital Energy Furnace!
Unparalleled Physical Body!
Li Che took this step forward, relying on the Dao Fruit of Dragon Elephant Vajra, which allowed him to transform his physical body through the power of the Dao Fruit, achieving the Nine Transformations of Divine Veins. This led to the creation of a Furnace Master's body, a body that had reached the pinnacle of physical cultivation.
Achieving one level of Furnace Mastery meant elevating one's physical body to its limits, solidifying and strengthening the foundation, which would enable one to reach even greater heights in the future.
At the age of five, Nuan Xi could be considered the youngest Furnace Master, breaking the record for the youngest ever.
Perhaps Nuan Xi wasn't the youngest Master, as there were always extraordinary individuals in this world, such as those born with the body of a Martial Saint or possessing innate talent in the Martial Way. Huang Jian Jiu, for instance, had found his perfect match in the Martial Way and made rapid progress in his cultivation.
Reaching the level of Master at the age of five was no mere talk.
Someone like Ji Mo Li might have already achieved Mastery at the age of five.
However, Li Che firmly believed that there was no way Nuan Xi had reached the level of Furnace Mastery.
Li Che had relied on the Dao Fruit, while Nuan Xi had relied on... her entire body being clad in divine armor! It was through the fusion and tempering of her body with the divine essence of divine armaments that she had opened up the limits of her physical body, creating the Furnace Master's physique.
"Daddy, I'm burning up!"
Nuan Xi felt an intense heat and some pain.
However, this pain was still within her tolerance.
"This is a breakthrough in your Martial cultivation. You've broken through again."
Li Che smiled gently and comforted Nuan Xi.
Nuan Xi's eyes widened in surprise.
"What? I broke through again?"
Would hitting people hurt more now that Nuan Xi had broken through? Cultivation... didn't seem that difficult.
Nuan Xi suddenly felt a burning sensation throughout her body. Her blood boiled, and countless surging true qi rushed through her meridians.
It was like being gently whipped.
However, due to her early experience with tempering her body through the fusion of divine armaments, Nuan Xi's tolerance for pain had significantly increased.
The surging and scorching power coursed through her body, like a flood unleashed from a dam, wreaking havoc within her.
Nuan Xi's hair stood on end, and her eyes seemed to glow with fiery heat.
Amidst the constant clanging of metal, countless sparks flew, enveloped in flames that surrounded Nuan Xi.
Nuan Xi stood on the ground, her back straight and hands on her hips.
Nuan Xi, the Great Emperor, had broken through again! She was invincible!
Nuan Xi felt the constantly evolving power within her body, sensing her own incredible strength.
If she had to describe it...
Hating the sky without a ring, hating the earth without a handle!
"Punch."
Li Che smiled and said.
He tapped his toes, clenched his fist, and unleashed the Dragon Elephant punch, stirring up the wind. He guided Nuan Xi in practicing the Ten Thousand Transformation Dragon Elephant martial art.
Nuan Xi clenched her fist and punched Li Che, following his lead and refining her skills in the process.
Her small body seemed to transform into a furnace, emitting intense light and heat. She was scorching hot, boiling and bubbling.
Li Che flicked his finger, and a martial pill shot towards Nuan Xi.
"Nuan Xi, eat this pill!"
Nuan Xi's eyes suddenly flashed with dazzling light, and her mouth opened wide, revealing steel teeth that seemed to reflect the light. She caught the pill thrown by Li Che and swallowed it.
Crack!
Nuan Xi clenched her steel teeth, and the pill shattered. The powerful medicinal properties were ignited by her furnace-like body, and a strong force exploded in her mouth.
It surged towards her crown, then rushed through her internal organs and meridians, running rampant.
It was like drinking a large mouthful of ice-cold soda on a hot summer day!
"Daddy, give me another pill!"
Nuan Xi's eyes sparkled.
Li Che couldn't help but twitch his lips. This girl... as long as there was food, she'd get addicted, right?
"This is a medicinal pill. Your physique is not yet strong enough to withstand the power of these pills. You can't just eat martial pills like beans!"
Nuan Xi had just stepped into Furnace Mastery, and she hadn't fully unleashed the effects of her divine armaments yet.
When Nuan Xi's physique reached the level of Li Che's current height, then eating martial pills like beans wouldn't be a problem.
Upon hearing this, Nuan Xi felt a momentary disappointment, but it didn't last long. Under Li Che's guidance, she began to consolidate her Furnace Master body with the power of the martial pill.
Nuan Xi clenched her fist and practiced the Ten Thousand Transformation Dragon Elephant martial art in the courtyard.
Within her small body, there was a vast amount of energy. Her blood surged like a raging river, resembling the waves of a mighty river.
After transforming inner energy into true energy, it was like igniting a flame with firewood.
Nuan Xi was very serious because she didn't want to experience the pain of being beaten. She had the belief to become stronger.
Nuan Xi's skin turned red, and as she practiced the Ten Thousand Transformation Dragon Elephant martial art, her true energy surged, boiling her blood. The falling spring rain evaporated, and faint images of a roaring dragon and an elephant trumpeting appeared, floating in the air.
Buzzing...
It was as if a purple flame had emerged, transforming into a purple fire snake that coiled around Nuan Xi's arm and finally took the form of a fire tip spear.
Nuan Xi seemed to be able to grasp and control the power of the Purple Flame Snake Lance Fire Tip Spear because her physical body had reached the Furnace level.
The air kept exploding, and the fire tip spear trembled and shook. The long spear was held by the tiny Nuan Xi, sweeping through the air like a purple electric snake.
Li Che tapped his toes and stood nearby, guiding Nuan Xi's moves.
Boom!
It was as if a Vital Energy Furnace had appeared behind Nuan Xi's body.
In the courtyard.
Everyone was shocked by this display.
Zhang Ya and the sect leader's wife, who was eating braised pork knuckles, came out.
The sect leader's wife, with her small face painted with delicate makeup, chewed on the pork knuckle, and her eyes revealed a mixture of astonishment and surprise.
"Furnace Master? A five-year-old Furnace Master?!"
The sect leader's wife, Xuan Qi Sha, was stunned.
Although she was a Half-Saint Divine Talisman Master, she wasn't skilled in physical cultivation. However, she still needed to cultivate her divine perception.
To achieve a high level of divine perception, one's Martial cultivation must also be advanced.
Therefore, her Martial skills were not weak.
Furnace Grandmaster... She certainly knew!
And she was also well aware of the difficulty of becoming a Furnace Grandmaster, but it was even more challenging than the Purple Qi Divine Child, who was a thousand feet tall!
Comparable to the Purple Qi Divine Child who ascended to the heavens!
Nie Yang and Li Chengzhou, master and disciple, embraced their swords and fought in stride.
Nie Yang's gaze was extremely complex, and he took a glance at his disciple, sighing softly.
"Master, if you have something to say, just say it," Li Chengzhou said with a cold face.
"Zhou, we're not competing with monsters," Nie Yang consoled.
Li Chengzhou pursed his lips, acting foolishly and pretending to be cold.
Li Qingshan, on the other hand, was supporting Mu Granny, walking out from the inner room. He had been enjoying the spring rain, but now he witnessed the birth of the youngest Furnace Grandmaster in history.
Five years old...
Li Qingshan's mouth twitched, and indeed, like father like daughter.
The father was a monster, and the daughter was not much different.
Perhaps only the adorable and silly Zhang Ya was a normal person in this family?
Li Qingshan knew that Li Che had a powerful Underworld Bull Demon, and he was also aware of how formidable the Bull Demon was now, with a strength that was beyond imagination!
Now, at the age of five, a Furnace Grandmaster had emerged...
This little calf... was also extremely terrifying!
...
...
The news of Li Nuanxi's breakthrough to Furnace Grandmaster was suppressed by the Sect Master's wife.
The news was not allowed to spread, as a five-year-old Furnace Grandmaster was indeed shocking and unconventional. This might become Li Nuanxi's secret weapon in the Sect Master's personal assessment.
In the following days, Li Che diligently consolidated Li Nuanxi's martial arts cultivation. As for her divine essence, the Sect Master's wife personally guided Li Nuanxi, providing her with an abundance of essence crystals!
The Sect Master's wife, being a Half-Saint Divine Talisman Master, was truly wealthy beyond measure. Li Che had firsthand experience in this matter, as he had slaughtered a Divine Sculpture Master from the Su family and reaped a bountiful harvest. A Divine Talisman Master was no less impressive than a Divine Sculpture Master, so one could imagine the wealth of a Half-Saint Divine Talisman Master.
Therefore, Li Nuanxi's recent life had been incredibly fulfilling!
She was in the final sprint before the Sect Master's personal assessment.
Even Li Che couldn't help but feel nervous, despite knowing that even if Li Nuanxi couldn't become the Sect Master's personal disciple, with his current status as the Fifth Elder of the Divine Sculpture Ridge in the Heavenly Origin Sect, he could easily protect her safety.
However, as a parent, when their child is about to take an extremely important exam, one that could change their destiny, they can't help but feel anxious.
Even Li Che was no exception.
Another gentle spring rain fell, a drizzle that was soft and lingering. As the Qingming Festival approached, the February plum rains became more frequent, and on the long street, many pedestrians didn't even bother to open their oil-paper umbrellas.
During these days, the atmosphere in the entire Heavenly Origin Dao City became tense.
After all, with the Qingming Festival drawing near, it meant that the Sect Master's personal assessment was about to begin, and the last disciple of the Divine Embryo Great Deity, the fifth deity on the Divine Roster, would be revealed.
This became the hottest topic of discussion throughout the city during this time, from the noble families' mansions to the brothels and teahouses, almost everywhere you could hear conversations about this topic.
Moreover, the largest gambling house in Heavenly Origin Dao City, the Qiankun Gambling House, publicly announced that they would open bets for the results of the Sect Master's personal assessment.
They listed the names of potential candidates for the Sect Master's personal discipleship, allowing people to place their bets.
"The list is out, everyone can come and place their bets!"
"The first divine child, Gongshu Wentian, ten years old, has entered the Grandmaster level in martial arts and has forged his divine essence. He is a descendant of the Gongshu family, from the Divine Capital, and is rumored to have a blood connection with the Chief Astronomer of the Heavenly Observation Bureau, a master of divine calculations!"
"The second divine child, Gu He, from the Heavenly Pill Sect of Guangling Dao..."
"The third divine child, Xuan Yue, from the Mystic Talisman Sect of Qingyun Dao..."
"The fourth divine child, Lu Qingxuan, nine years old, is the first on the Dragonlet Chart of the Heavenly Origin Sect..."
"The fifth divine child, Ning Caihua, from the Seven Treasures Sect of Dragon Spring Dao..."
...
...
"The tenth, Li Nuanxi, third on the Dragonlet Chart of the Heavenly Origin Sect..."
...
The Qiankun Gambling House listed the names.
Those who made it onto the list, especially those in the top ten, were all seemingly qualified to compete for the personal discipleship.
The moment the list was released, it caused a huge stir. No one had expected that this personal assessment of the Sect Master would attract so many genius divine children.
The Divine Capital's candidates were naturally exceptional, but there were also divine children from the Heavenly Pill Sect of Guangling Dao, the Mystic Talisman Sect of Qingyun Dao, and the Seven Treasures Sect of Dragon Spring Dao.
The fact that these three great sects had sent their divine children showed how tempting and significant the personal discipleship of the Sect Master was. It represented too much.
Rumors circulated that because the Sect Master, Lu Xuan, accepted disciples without discrimination, his other disciples did not have the qualifications to become the Young Sect Master, and thus could not be cultivated as the future heir to the sect.
Additionally, Huang Jian Jiu, the second on the true disciple roster, had publicly slaughtered the Su family and left the Heavenly Origin Sect, also losing his eligibility to become the Young Sect Master.
As a result, this last personal discipleship became extremely important.
"Tenth? My daughter is only ranked tenth?"
Li Che also obtained the list from the Qiankun Gambling House, which had an extremely powerful background and was unfathomably wealthy.
This list was made by the owner of the Qiankun Gambling House based on various intelligence regarding the divine children's martial arts cultivation, cultivation talent, divine essence cultivation, and other special talents.
Li Che was dissatisfied with Li Nuanxi's ninth-place ranking.
As a father, Li Che believed in his heart that his daughter was the best in the world!
However, considering that Li Nuanxi had many hidden strengths, it was understandable that the Qiankun Gambling House was unaware of them.
"Tenth... ten to one odds, huh."
Li Che's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but laugh.
The betting odds were based on the rankings, with higher odds for divine children with lower rankings.
"A grand fortune indeed."
Li Che stood outside the bustling entrance of the Qiankun Gambling House, holding an oil-paper umbrella, his ink-colored robe fluttering in the spring rain.
He shook off the raindrops from his robe and then stepped inside.
