Chapter 275: A Bet that Could Sever the Dao Path, Letting Dog Smash Accompany Xi Xi in the Temple Gu
Chapter 275: A Bet that Could Sever the Dao Path, Letting Dog Smash Accompany Xi Xi in the Temple Guardian Exam [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 1)
Crackle, crackle—
In the vast sky, spring thunder roared amidst the thick, layered leaden clouds, weaving and flashing like a spider web.
The rain became more and more turbulent, like raging river water crashing against the rocks, pouring down in a torrential flow.
The grand plaza beneath the White Jade Archway.
The rain poured down on the roof of the carriage, creating splashes of water that blurred into a giant white cloth.
Inside the carriage, the nobles from various prominent families and states who had sent their divine children all sat upright, their eyes fixed on the scene created by the intertwining sword auras.
Farther away, the wandering martial artists who had come from all over to the Heavenly Origin Dao City eagerly awaited.
Among the four divine children, one was still an outsider, which made everyone tense.
If the one eliminated was this outsider from the Great Li Dynasty Court, it would be the best outcome, and even the wandering martial artists present would be unable to contain their cheers.
The Great Li Dynasty Court and the Great Jing were like sworn enemies.
Although separated by a desert, various conflicts constantly erupted in the Mystic Path Corridor, with Youzhou often becoming a battleground. Many men from Great Jing had perished on that battlefield.
Even with a ceasefire agreement between Great Jing and Great Li lasting almost a generation, the friction and grudges between the two countries would not easily disappear.
After all, how many ancestors had shed blood for Great Jing? The blood they shed and the hatred they left behind—how could this generation have the right to forgive and forget on their behalf?
In fact, the Heavenly Origin Sect would also be unwilling to see an outsider become the Young Sect Master.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be this selection exam for the Sect Leader's direct disciple.
After all, among Lu Tai Bai's disciples, there was already a royal descendant from the Great Li Dynasty Court, ranked first in the True Lineage Spectrum. So, if they were truly willing to let an outsider become the Young Sect Master, why make such a big deal out of it?
It could only be said that the appearance of Golden Taisui had caught the Heavenly Origin Sect off guard.
And initially, Lu Tai Bai had claimed to accept all disciples without discrimination. How could he not let Golden Taisui participate in the selection?
If Xi Chuang could enter the Heavenly Origin Sect and become the Sect Leader's direct disciple, why couldn't Golden Taisui?
Many people turned their gazes towards Lu Tai Bai, believing that the Sect Leader must have a backup plan.
It was impossible to let an outsider become the Young Sect Master!
When Gongshu Wentian opened his eyes...
The grand plaza instantly echoed with exclamations, and even the powerful members of the prominent families couldn't control their emotions at this moment!
This matter... wouldn't it be beyond the Sect Leader's control?
"Hahaha... Truly worthy of the bloodline of the Great Shaman God!"
"Being nurtured by the Great Shaman God from a young age, the Heart Nature Tempering has reached its peak, and the Heart Nature Examination... is the specialty of our tribe's Young Shaman!"
The two strong men from the Divine Witch Mountain, dressed in black cloaks, stroked their beards and laughed heartily.
The patterns painted on their faces seemed to come alive.
Their laughter was unrestrained and wild, causing Gongshu Jingjun, sitting below the White Jade Archway, to roll his eyes in cold disdain.
Gongshu Wentian was a member of the Gongshu Clan, a prestigious family in the Divine Capital with a profound heritage. Gongshu Wentian had come here with the sole purpose of competing for Lu Tai Bai's direct disciple position.
But unexpectedly, something unexpected had occurred.
However, Gongshu Jingjun was also aware of Gongshu Wentian's situation. Gongshu Wentian had always been emotionally fragile, although he possessed exceptional talent, which made him stand out even among the Gongshu Clan.
However, his Dao Heart was too fragile, known as the Bean Curd Dao Heart, easily shattered by the slightest setback, leaving his Dao Heart in pieces.
Fortunately, although Gongshu Wentian's Dao Heart was fragile, he could always reforge it after each shattering. However, the reforged Dao Heart remained as fragile as bean curd, easily shattered again.
As expected.
Gongshu Wentian was brought out from the Quantum Origin Pocket Universe, and the three strands of Dao Essence he had obtained in the first trial were now completely stripped away.
Gongshu Wentian's face was filled with pain as he clutched his chest. Undoubtedly, his Dao Heart had shattered into pieces.
Gongshu Wentian's Dao Heart had never been as thoroughly shattered as it was today! It would likely take at least a month to reforge it.
Li Nuan Xi...
Who was she?
No!
This little girl...
Was not human!
...
...
Heart Nature Examination, within the illusion.
Xi Xi tightly gripped the Purple Flame Serpent Spear, and the black flames on it gradually receded and disappeared. When the purple flames began to burn fiercely,
A sense of heaviness surged into Xi Xi's body.
The power of the mythical weapon, the Purple Flame Serpent Spear, was beyond Xi Xi's current ability to control. Although she often borrowed the divine power released by the spear to temper her body,
Her physical strength had reached the level of the Furnace Body.
However, without the power of the black patterns, mastering the spear became nearly impossible.
Whoosh—
The spear transformed into a purple fire serpent, coiling around Xi Xi's arm and penetrating her skin, hiding within her bones.
Xi Xi immediately felt her strength rapidly weakening.
The Hell Lotus Windfire Golden Light Wheel beneath her feet also slowly faded, and the Hell Lotus-like shadow gradually vanished.
Xi Xi tilted her head, and the Golden Light Wheel also entered her small feet.
Xi Xi, who had been happily fighting and destroying her opponents along the way, suddenly found herself falling to the ground, stepping on the bloody mess below.
At the same time.
Outside Flying Thunder City.
A silver light burst forth, accompanied by intense death and corpse auras, like a ferocious evil corpse. The silver light whipped around like a ferocious snake, shattering the air as if emerging from the land of the dead, filled with killing intent.
Li Che, who had been following behind Xi Xi with a faint glow, suddenly focused his gaze.
Yuan Jin Gang...
The main culprit behind the Thousand Infant Banquet in Flying Thunder City, a Seven-Origin Upper Corpse God Messenger from the Corpse God Sect, a powerful Curse Silver Corpse expert with twenty-five strands of silver light!
After losing the support of the Purple Flame Serpent Spear, the Hell Lotus Windfire Golden Light Wheel, and the power of that strong will,
Xi Xi completely lost the possibility of confronting Yuan Jin Gang.
Li Che also understood that Xi Xi's Heart Nature Examination had probably reached its limit.
To avoid witnessing Xi Xi being defeated,
Li Che decided to take action.
Although he wasn't sure if his intervention would count towards Xi Xi's record,
Even if it affected Xi Xi's performance, Li Che had to act.
The light emanating from his body suddenly intensified, and as he clenched his five fingers, even though he was a glowing will body, he unleashed an endless surge of blood energy like a raging tide!
"Xi Xi, watch carefully."
Li Che said softly, and as he clenched his five fingers, he grasped five streams of air that resembled divine spears.
Master Realm Divine Seed Martial Arts!
Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant!
Li Che's toes touched down, and in that instant, the entire Flying Thunder City seemed to tremble as spider web-like cracks erupted within the illusionary space!
A gigantic divine elephant shadow appeared, shimmering with a brilliant golden hue.
The majestic divine dragon coiled around the divine elephant's body.
Dragon Elephant Vajra!
Yuan Jin Gang, a Curse Silver Corpse-level cultivator...
Instantly, he was reduced to ashes!
...
...
"Oh no!"
On the Jade Staircase.
Xi Xi's long eyelashes trembled, and her face showed a mix of astonishment and joy!
Daddy is so fierce!
Even without the Immortal Craft Gatling, he can set off fireworks with his bare hands!
It's simply amazing!
Xi Xi wants to defeat Daddy, but it seems she still needs some time to grow!
Xi Xi's eyes sparkled, and as she stretched lazily, her short arms and legs made a crisp cracking sound, and her muscles seemed to explode like popping beans!
"Huh?!"
Xi Xi clenched her tiny fists and waved them in the air, and a whooshing sound filled the air.
"Xi Xi has become stronger again!"
Xi Xi's joy knew no bounds!
Her physical strength seemed to have increased significantly, but why?
Was it because of the power of the black patterns?
Xi Xi still remembered that in the illusion, a young lady had spoken inside her mind, and then her body was covered in black patterns. Not to mention...
Xi Xi's coolness was off the charts! Recalling the scenes from the illusion, Xi Xi couldn't help but smile happily. With Daddy by her side, Xi Xi's heart was at ease, and there was still a fight to be had. Xi Xi continued to grow stronger through these battles!
One day, she would surpass Daddy!
Xi Xi clenched her small fists, her fighting spirit surging.
At that moment, she suddenly felt energized and looked into the distance, where she saw Jin Taisui and Yun E still struggling within the Mind Nature Examination illusion.
"Sister Yun E..."
Xi Xi blinked.
Xi Xi, on her own Jade Staircase, dared not move recklessly, fearing she might disturb Yun E and disrupt her Mind Nature Examination.
As for Jin Taisui, Xi Xi glanced at him but did not bother him.
Xi Xi was very polite!
Previously, she had bombarded Jin Taisui with the Immortal Craft Bloodfire Bodhi Gatling because he had made the first move, so Xi Xi did not hold back and attacked directly!
"Sister Yun E, you can do it! You must beat this guy!"
Xi Xi clenched her tiny fists, cheering and encouraging Yun E.
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
When Xi Xi woke up, a regretful voice echoed, even drowning out the sound of the heavy spring rain.
Many people present had high hopes for Xi Xi, as she had dominated the first Talent Examination, surpassing Gongshu Wentian's young genius.
However, in the second Mind Nature Examination, Gongshu Wentian failed, and Xi Xi only managed to place third.
Jin Taisui, a young witch from the Great Li Dynasty Court with the Great Shaman God bloodline, was still enduring the Mind Nature Examination, and at the very least, he had ranked higher than Xi Xi.
In fact, after Gongshu Wentian's defeat, the three remaining divine children in the second Mind Nature Examination emerged, and the three who would proceed to the third Temple Guard Examination were confirmed.
"What a pity..."
In the carriage, Zhang Ya sighed.
Mu Po Po, sitting beside her, comforted, "Xi Xi has already performed very well. After all, she's only five years old, and she's at a disadvantage in the Mind Nature Examination. Her emotions are easily affected and not as mature as the other children."
Hearing this, Zhang Ya quickly accepted it.
Xi Xi had at least made it to the third Temple Guard Examination, so there was still a chance.
Zhang Ya couldn't help but feel happy. Xi Xi's performance was already impressive.
Under the Jade Archway, many elders saw that Xi Xi was the first to wake up among the three.
They all sighed in unison.
It was indeed a pity.
"Actually, Xi Xi's performance was already very good."
Many elders turned to Li Che and congratulated him. It was indeed worthy of celebration, as Xi Xi had made it to the third examination.
After all, Xi Xi was only five years old.
Li Che's face broke into a gentle smile, and he returned the elders' salute with a fist.
Suddenly.
Everyone turned their heads towards the direction of the Sword Aura Disc's projection.
The last two also woke up one after the other.
Jin Taisui woke up first, and about three breaths later, Yun E's exquisitely delicate face showed a slight tremor in her eyelashes as she opened her eyes. A crescent moon flashed in her pupils, and her entire person became extremely cold.
An invisible aura of rank pressure spread from her body, and her temperament underwent a drastic change.
Jin Taisui frowned and looked at Yun E.
"Reincarnated Temple Deity?"
"No, that's not it... Are you feeding your body to the deity?"
"So that's how it is. I don't feel wronged about losing."
Jin Taisui spoke calmly, and the patterns on his face, drawn with colored paint, trembled slightly.
Second...
Second in the Mind Nature Examination!
He had been thrown into the Strange Shrine at the age of three and had grown up in it, forging his spirit through constant crawling and rolling. This gave him a significant advantage in the Mind Nature Examination.
The Mind Nature Examination... was created using the Dao Essence power of the Heavenly Origin Sect's Patriarch, allowing it to sense the hardships and sufferings deep within one's heart.
No one could completely overcome hardships and sufferings; it was only a matter of how long one could endure.
Some sufferings and hardships were extremely long-lasting, and when experienced again, one might not even do better than before.
Jin Taisui looked at the tiny Xi Xi, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
He no longer dared to underestimate Xi Xi, as she had beaten him before.
This little girl had taken out a gadget and bombarded him relentlessly, almost sending him away.
"Sister Yun E!"
Xi Xi took small steps and ran to Yun E's side.
Yun E's extremely cold eyes softened as she looked at Xi Xi, and a hint of gentleness appeared.
She rubbed Xi Xi's head, "Xi Xi is so amazing. She endured the Mind Nature Examination until the third stage, which is not easy. You must have endured a lot of hardship, right?"
Yun E was all too familiar with the difficulties of the Mind Nature Examination.
The pain deep within her heart was exposed again, and she had to re-experience it, even more intensely. It was like a nightmare, but worse.
Xi Xi shook her head repeatedly, "Xi Xi didn't suffer. Xi Xi had a lot of fun, and Daddy was always there to protect me!"
Yun E couldn't help but laugh.
She gently caressed Xi Xi's head.
"What a pity... It seems that this time, Lu Tai Bai's direct transmission spot is mine."
Jin Taisui crossed his arms, and at ten years old, his body was already quite tall, so calling him a young man wouldn't be an exaggeration.
