Chapter 270: The Audacity to Ambush Xi Xi, the Great Emperor, and the Purple Divine Energy Talent Pi
Chapter 270: The Audacity to Ambush Xi Xi, the Great Emperor, and the Purple Divine Energy Talent Pillar (Part 1)
The Heaven and Earth Pocket Universe.
This unique space was created by the Heavenly Origin Sect's founder, who, after his death, used his Dao essence to open up a distinctive realm.
Within it, there is a world of its own, mysterious and extraordinary.
It is somewhat similar to the Enigmatic Temple's Enigmatic Tower, but the tower's vastness is due to the diffusion and contamination of divine energy, which is closely related to the rank of the temple deity's divinity.
The higher the rank of the Enigmatic Temple, the more expansive its Enigmatic Tower.
The stronger the temple's guardian corpse, demons, and evil entities become.
In some large Enigmatic Temples, one might even find divine energy crystal veins, from which divine energy crystals are obtained.
The Grand Supervisor of the Divine Capital's Astronomical Bureau once authored a book titled "Theories on Enigmatic Temples and Towers," specifically describing the towers and providing a detailed analysis of their changes.
The ten Enigmatic Temples do not have towers, but from the Nine Luminaries onwards, they can produce towers and divine energy crystals, aiding human cultivators in their cultivation.
Within the "Enigmatic Tower Theory," the Grand Supervisor expressed a conjecture.
He speculated that the towers of numerous Enigmatic Temples...
...are actually one and the same place.
However, this viewpoint has yet to be fully proven.
In the "Enigmatic Tower Theory," the author also compared the towers of Enigmatic Temples to the miniature heavenly realms of Divine Tribulation cultivators.
In fact, the miniature heavenly realms of Divine Tribulation cultivators are created using their Dao essence to provide a place of refuge and resistance against the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
In simple terms, these miniature realms are places of escape for Divine Tribulation cultivators.
In his treatise, the Grand Supervisor expressed a second viewpoint.
The Enigmatic Tower...
...is a place of refuge for temple deities.
...
...
Buzzing—
The Jade Staircase extended upwards, reaching an extremely high point, as if it had reached the very top of the pocket universe.
There were countless steps, more than ten thousand, resembling the scales of a dragon, shimmering and splendid, winding upwards into the clouds.
At the very top of the Jade Staircase,
The statue of the Heavenly Origin Sect's founder, a Divine Crane, was seated, and at this moment, the entire statue was trembling slightly.
The Jade Archway of the Heavenly Origin Sect's Gate.
Beneath the Dao essence plaque.
Lu Tai Bai sat in the Grand Scholar Chair, his silver hair gently blowing in the breeze, his eyes filled with countless intertwining sword lights, reflecting the image of the founder's statue.
His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of astonishment appeared in his heart.
With a light tap of his finger, a momentary connection seemed to be established, and the founder's statue on the top of the staircase gradually calmed down, no longer trembling.
Although the frequency of the statue's trembling was not significant...
...its implications were extraordinary.
If this frequency of trembling continued, the founder might open his eyes soon...
But Xi Xi was the first Divine Child to enter the pocket universe.
With the first Divine Child, the founder had already opened his eyes...
Would the subsequent Divine Children still need to demonstrate their talents? Therefore, Lu Tai Bai could not allow this situation to continue unchecked, and the founder's awakening should not happen this early.
Lu Tai Bai had no choice but to slightly raise the threshold of the founder's talent sensing.
Sitting in the chair, Lu Tai Bai's silver hair flowed like a waterfall, swaying lightly in the spring breeze.
He gently tapped his long fingers on the chair.
With only a slight increase in the founder's talent sensing threshold, there shouldn't be any problems...
Those Divine Children, equipped with various talent-enhancing methods, should be able to...
...stimulate the founder, right?
...
...
Crackle, crackle! Heavy lead clouds filled the sky, and thick cloud currents continuously rolled, releasing solid raindrops that fell into the mortal realm with a flourish.
Li Che sat upright beneath the Jade Archway, in the chair that represented his status as an Elder of the Heavenly Origin Sect.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he had already diverted half of his attention into the Heavenly Chessboard.
Through the images woven by the Heavenly Chessboard, he observed Xi Xi's situation within the pocket universe.
He was essentially viewing the Heaven and Earth Pocket Universe from Xi Xi's perspective.
His thoughts could even perceive the uniqueness of the pocket universe through the Flying Thunder Chess Pieces.
This pocket universe... compared to the Enigmatic Tower, was much weaker in terms of stability.
However, within it was an extremely vast and powerful force...
...a force that surpassed the level of divine consciousness, profound and mysterious, exerting a strong attraction on Li Che.
"Dao essence!"
Sitting in the Grand Scholar Chair, Li Che relaxed his hands, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
Dao essence...
...was a power greatly desired even by Divine Embryo Great Deities.
It was the foundation of the Divine Tribulation Realm!
It was an extremely high-level power!
Li Che's fingers also lightly tapped the chair.
Ripples formed in his heart.
On the large plaza, carriages lined up like blooming flowers in the spring rain, with water droplets forming a hazy mist on their covers.
However, the Elders beneath the Jade Archway were all extremely powerful cultivators.
Their formidable divine consciousness spanned the heavens and earth, naturally distorting the rain and creating a dry area, untouched by a single drop.
Xi Xi entered the Heaven and Earth Pocket Universe with great ease, as smooth as silk.
But the other Divine Children felt a sense of obstruction and pressure at the entrance.
Gongshu Wentian unleashed his powerful vital energy, and from his ten-year-old body erupted a level of vital energy comparable to a fully cultivated Ancestor. It was like a burning flame, slowly tearing through the invisible wall of air.
Stepping into the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe.
Following Gongshu Wentian, the next was the Divine Child Gu He from the Heavenly Pill Sect of Guangling.
He was the third-generation grandson of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Pill Sect and the successor to the Dan King.
With his jet-black hair wildly curled, Gu He's ten-year-old body, nourished by medicinal pills, had already grown to resemble a fourteen or fifteen-year-old.
Gu He's eyes were sharp, and a twisted flame symbol was visible between his eyebrows. He snapped his fingers, and a pill shot out, exploding into a dense cloud of pill powder in front of him, which he absorbed through every pore of his body.
In an instant, Gu He's entire body turned crimson, like a red-hot branding iron, tearing through the air and entering the Pocket Universe.
"That's the Heavenly Pill Sect's top-tier divine technique, 'Heavenly Pill Art'. This child has already mastered this art, and judging by his level, he's at least at the initial stage of minor success."
"The Heavenly Pill Sect is the richest sect in the world, rumored to be wealthy enough to rival nations. The pills they refine not only serve as medicine but also possess the power to defeat enemies..."
"Indeed, it's said that the Heavenly Pill Sect has another divine technique called 'Pill Transformation Art'. I wonder if this Dan King's successor has learned it..."
Below, many powerful cultivators gazed with intense focus, recognizing the profoundness in Gu He's technique and the talent he displayed.
At the age of ten, to cultivate a divine technique, even if it's only at the initial stage of minor success, is truly extraordinary.
Cultivating divine techniques is not easier the younger you start, as these techniques require the opening of the body's extraordinary meridians, using the body's meridian nodes as the foundation.
Therefore, when cultivating divine techniques, one's physical strength must keep up! If the physical strength is insufficient...
It will only result in the risk of the body exploding.
Even for a Great Grandmaster of Divine Energy, cultivating divine techniques is no easy task.
However, Gu He, being from the Heavenly Pill Sect, might have consumed some pills to enhance his physical strength to the point where it could support the cultivation of divine techniques.
Amidst the pouring rain and thunder, lightning flashed and roared! After the heavy lead clouds, the spring thunder boomed, deafeningly loud!
After Gu He, the other Divine Children began to showcase their abilities. Xuan Yue from the Mystic Script Sect had a grand symbol blooming behind her, and a vast divine energy poured down like a waterfall.
She stepped into the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe.
Following her, other Divine Children, such as Lu Qing Xuan from the Dragonlet Catalog and Ning Cai He from the Seven Treasures Sect, also demonstrated their skills.
Lu Chi's luxurious robe fluttered in the wind, and his face was cold and stern. As he approached the Pocket Universe, he felt the pressure.
He couldn't help but think of Xi Xi's carefree entrance into the Pocket Universe.
He couldn't help but sigh.
After such a long time, Xi Xi had indeed grown, and her talent had become even more formidable.
But...
A cold glint flashed in Lu Chi's eyes.
Between his eyebrows, the Hell Lotus symbol suddenly glowed, as if a black flame lotus was blooming around him.
The Hell Lotus whirled, mysteriously attracting the divine energy between heaven and earth. Lu Chi took a step forward and smoothly entered the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe.
Xiao Long Nu, Ao Qing Qing, felt immense pressure. This month had been a nightmare for her.
Her beloved aunt, who had always doted on her, suddenly seemed like a different person, becoming extremely strict and harsh in her cultivation to the point of cruelty.
However, Ao Qing Qing's cultivation had also improved significantly during this time.
She understood her aunt's intention—for Ao Qing Qing to surpass Li Nuan Xi in the upcoming Sect Leader's examination.
Ao Qing Qing felt a bit of sympathy for her aunt.
She knew a lot about her aunt's situation. Her aunt had once been carefree, but unfortunately, she was chosen for a political marriage and wedded to Ji Mo Li...
Becoming a sacrificial pawn of the Dragon Deity Clan.
Ao Qing Qing knew her aunt had someone she liked, and the last time, that person... seemed to have died.
He had been attacked and killed by a mysterious Underworld force while trying to save her aunt from severe injuries.
Her aunt was so pitiable...
However, Ao Qing Qing couldn't help but think of her own future.
In her deep blue mirror-like eyes, a hint of sorrow also flashed.
If she couldn't seize the opportunity in this Sect Leader's personal examination, perhaps...
Her future would also become a sacrifice?
Just like Yue Ling Hu, who seemed to regard her as his fiancee.
But Ao Qing Qing didn't like Yue Ling Hu.
Boom!
Ao Qing Qing charged into the entrance of the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe.
Her eyes narrowed slightly...
She realized that she couldn't enter, even with the incredibly strong physical strength of the Dragon Deity Clan, she was still blocked from entering.
This caused her entire body to tremble.
Could it be...
She would be eliminated at the first talent test?
Anger rose within Ao Qing Qing, and she knew the reason. It wasn't that she wasn't strong enough...
But the Heavenly Origin Sect's discrimination against races outside the Great Jing Dynasty!
Although the Heavenly Origin Sect Master, Lu Tai Bai, claimed to teach without discrimination, non-Great Jing Dynasty Divine Children needed to display higher talent to be accepted as disciples.
This was an invisible barrier, not just for the Dragon Deity Clan, but also for the Great Li Dynasty Court, ancient foreign races, Temple God reincarnations, and other foreign races.
Ao Qing Qing clenched her teeth, her body trembling, but she refused to give up!
With a loud roar, it was as if a deep blue dragon shadow appeared behind her, and her Dragon Deity bloodline boiled!
Ao Qing Qing crashed into the entrance, her pores opening wide, and even her reverse scales rose.
Finally, she managed to step into the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe with difficulty.
Just upon entering, Ao Qing Qing felt like her entire body was drenched in fresh blood.
"Li Nuan Xi!"
Ao Qing Qing panted heavily, determined not to lose for her aunt's sake...
She, Ao Qing Qing, couldn't afford to lose!
There were also numerous Divine Children from various prominent clans and cities who had come from neighboring Dao Cities to challenge the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe.
For example, Yun E, Zhou Peng, Su Li, and other clan heirs rose into the air.
During this time, there were Divine Children from prominent clans who failed to enter the Quantum Origin Heavenly Realm.
This made many people realize...
The first talent screening had already begun at the entrance to the Heavenly Realm.
The failure rate was even extremely high.
Most Divine Children found it challenging to pass through the entrance, colliding with an air wall and struggling to take each step.
In the end, they were repelled.
Clatter, clatter...
The spring rain became increasingly intense.
Many Divine Children who couldn't even enter the entrance were drenched by the pouring rain, as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water, their bodies stiffening.
On the large platform, silence prevailed.
Sighs echoed in the air.
It was evident that the final personal assessment by the Quantum Origin Sect Leader Great Deity was far more stringent than any previous one.
After all, in the past, such a harsh screening wouldn't have started from the very first stage.
Basically, seven out of ten Divine Children were eliminated.
A single talent screening eliminated seven out of ten Divine Children.
Ting-a-ling...
Suddenly, a clear bell jingled, its crisp sound piercing through the heavy spring rain.
At the other end of the platform, a figure shrouded in a black robe slowly approached.
On the platform, the gazes of many powerful cultivators shifted towards the newcomer, revealing surprise.
Because the group consisted of three people, two adults and a child, all enveloped in black robes.
The child was also cloaked in a black robe, walking from the direction of the Heavenly Origin Dao City, with a bell hanging around his neck, its jingling sound incessant.
The bell was purple, emitting an extremely intense divine energy.
Under the Jade Archway.
Lu Tai Bai's eyes slightly lifted, his silver hair as fine as silk.
Not only Lu Tai Bai, but almost every Elder, including Li Che, turned their gaze towards the newcomer.
Li Che's eyes slightly narrowed.
In an instant, his gaze was drawn to the purple bell.
Star Snatching Eye!
Infinite Analysis, Gaze Through Illusion!
[Divine Armament (Middle Rank of Five Elders): Taisui Purple Golden Bell]
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Che's eyes!
A middle-rank Divine Armament of the Five Elders?!
This rank is definitely not low.
To think it's hanging around a child's neck, parading so brazenly?
Who is this person?
"The Great Li Dynasty Court."
A faint voice echoed, coming from Gongshu Jing Jun, who was seated not far away.
"These three... are Divine Energy cultivators from the Great Li Dynasty Court."
"I thought the Great Li Dynasty Court wouldn't send anyone this time, but unexpectedly, they still dispatched a Divine Child... It seems that the Great Shaman God of the Great Li Dynasty Court foresaw that the Sect Leader would use this final personal assessment to determine the Young Sect Leader.
