Chapter 276: Dao Lord's Plan for Princess Consort's Departure from Dao City (Part 1)
Chapter 276: Dao Lord's Plan for Princess Consort's Departure from Dao City (Part 1)
Was the Netherworld's Death Register allowing her to leave?
Should Big Black Dog and Xixi go for a walk?
Li Che's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a glint of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
Li Che wasn't entirely sure about Big Black Dog's strength, but there was no doubt that it was incredibly powerful. After all, Huang Jianjiu, who had nearly stepped into the Sword Saint realm...
Was knocked unconscious and dragged away by Big Black Dog without anyone noticing.
In Li Che's opinion, the dog's strength was probably no weaker than a Martial Saint.
Although Li Che didn't know what the third stage of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect Master's direct transmission test was, he had no idea what the Temple Guardian Test specifically tested or how to pass it.
However, having more trump cards was always a good thing.
The first stage tested talent, the second stage tested heart nature, and the third stage... actually tested trump cards, combat power, and experience and methods when facing strange temples.
"Isn't this bullying?"
Li Che brushed off some cigarette ash and said.
The Boss glanced at Li Che, "That's definitely bullying... but so what?"
"Are we just going to watch Xixi get bullied?"
"The Temple Guardian Test examines one's foundation. The dog is Xixi's foundation, so what if it's bullying?"
"As long as Xixi isn't bullied, that's good enough."
The Boss said indifferently.
Hearing these protective words and the indulgent meaning behind them, Li Che looked at the Boss, and his gaze deepened involuntarily.
"This is my daughter..."
Li Che said seriously.
"I know." The Boss brushed off some cigarette ash, unconcerned.
"She's not your daughter." Li Che emphasized again.
The sound of rain pattered down, gathering on the edges of the black tiles and forming a bead curtain that constantly changed and poured down.
The Boss's lips curled up slightly.
"I know," Li Che didn't ask further. He pinched the cigarette between his thumb and index finger, squinted, and took a deep puff. The cigarette paper burned, and the tobacco curled in the high temperature, releasing smoke.
Li Che exhaled two streams of smoke from his nostrils and slowly let out a breath.
The Boss's indulgence towards Xixi was beyond Li Che's imagination. And the dog, who showed no courtesy to anyone, was different only with Xixi.
With Xixi, the dog was like a small lapdog, allowing Xixi to touch it at any time and even play on its body.
There must be a reason for this, right?
Thinking of Xixi's powerful and terrifying will that had awakened from the depths of her soul, Li Che wondered if it was related to the Boss and the dog.
Was it related to Xixi's past life?!
The moment this thought came to mind, it seemed to boil up, impossible to suppress or cool down. Li Che felt that this idea was highly likely.
However, he didn't ask, as many times, unspoken understandings, once broken, might create unexpected barriers.
Since the other party hadn't explicitly stated it, Li Che decided not to say anything for the time being.
Moreover, the Boss and the dog genuinely cared for Xixi, and Li Che, who had the Star Pupil, could clearly sense the authenticity of their emotions.
Hearing the Boss's words, the dog's eyes lit up, and it wagged its tail.
"Don't be too flashy. Just help Xixi pass the test smoothly. Remember two things: Xixi must not be wronged, and the bet must not be lost."
The Boss brushed off some cigarette ash and said.
Big Black Dog wagged its tail and nodded.
Then, it raised its head, as if to say something.
"When the dog acts, everything is possible!"
...
...
Li Che returned to the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect from the restaurant, carrying Xixi. He supported her as they strolled through the mist-shrouded mountain slopes, and indulgences, and desires, focusing on cultivating their divine embryos.
In Xixi's embrace, a small, fluffy dog head poked out, its black fur gleaming, and its eyes blinking.
It was Big Black Dog, shrunk to a smaller size, looking like a cute little puppy. It snuggled into Xixi's embrace, constantly rubbing against her.
Li Che held the umbrella, glancing at the dog in Xixi's embrace, now looking much cuter. It seemed to sense Li Che's playful gaze, and it pouted, raising its small paw in protest, clearly unhappy, and waved it in the air.
It was as if the dog was momentarily indulging Xixi.
However, compared to Big Black Dog's usual appearance, the dog's current form had no threatening air.
Xixi was so happy she felt like she might explode. She rubbed the little puppy's head, bobbing her own head from side to side, even humming a little song, in a great mood.
When they returned to the courtyard, the little butterfly on Xixi's shoulder suddenly woke up from its long sleep, its sleepy eyes opening. With the little butterfly finally awake, Xixi felt even happier.
Having both the dog and the little butterfly, Xixi felt incredibly content.
"Elder Li, the Sect Master's wife wants Xixi to come over. She plans to give Xixi special training and some trump cards to prepare for the upcoming Temple Guardian Test."
Nie Yang, holding his sword, said.
Li Che, hearing this, took the happy Xixi, who was playing with the little puppy, and they rode in a carriage to the Divine Talisman Tower.
The little puppy scared the little butterfly, which perched on Xixi's shoulder, not daring to move.
Xixi tucked the little puppy into her shirt, letting the dog's small head poke out.
"Daddy, I'm going to find the Sect Master's wife!"
"Come back later to pick up Xixi and the dog, okay?"
Xixi waved goodbye to Li Che.
Li Che watched Xixi enter the Divine Talisman Tower, and when he looked up, he saw the petite figure of the Temple Guardian Test's wife standing at the balcony of the tower, her hands clasped behind her back. The wife had a meticulously done makeup and nodded towards Li Che.
It was evident that everyone took this final Temple Guardian Test seriously. News had it that the Yun family was also training Yun E, and their Divine Embryo Elder had even awakened from his secluded meditation to specially prepare a foundation for Yun E. Furthermore, the Yun family Elder had invited the Zhou and Zhong families' Divine Embryo Elders to come together, gathering the foundation of the three families to prepare Yun E for the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect Master's Direct Transmission Test.
On the other side, Jin Taishai from the Great Shaman Mountain of the Great Li Royal Court had also moved into an inn in the Heavenly Origin Dao City with two powerful individuals. They sealed off the inn's courtyard, blocking any attempts at investigation, making it impossible for anyone to know what kind of foundation Jin Taishai had prepared.
The entire Heavenly Origin Dao City was in an uproar. Even the Qian Gun Shrine Gambling House personally opened a new round of bets for the final round of the Temple Guardian Test, wagering on the ultimate outcome of the three participants.
"The Temple Guardian Test, Tai Bai Sect Master intentionally gave a three-day buffer period, which is actually time for everyone to prepare their foundation. The Temple Guardian Test, as the name suggests, might involve a battle within the Strange Temple's strange walls."
"The test's Strange Temple is set in the Nine Chi Evil Suppressing Demon Pacifying Heavenly Pavilion Strange Temple. It's apparent that this temple isn't meant for these three participants to break through the temple, and the Four Imperial Strange Temples are not easily invaded, even by Divine Embryo Cultivators."
Atop the Heaven-Qing Treasure Tower.
Inspector Hong Shifu sat in a chair, a chessboard in front of him, and he was playing a game with the Temple Control Office's Governor Si Fengzhiqi.
Although Fengzhiqi was a mere martial artist, his chess skills were quite impressive.
"Normally, there's no need for a three-day delay. It feels like Tai Bai Sect Master is targeting the Wu Shen Shan's participant."
Fengzhiqi placed a chess piece and spoke in a deep voice.
Hong Shifu stared intently at the chessboard, and his eyes seemed to radiate bloodlust. His hands pressed down on one corner of the chessboard, hesitating between flipping the board or not.
Hong Shifu, who had dominated the Heavenly Yuan Chess Circle for so many years, couldn't even beat Fengzhiqi, a mere martial artist?
"It's not targeting Jin Taishai, but the Great Shaman behind him."
Hong Shifu ultimately didn't flip the board and closed his eyes in defeat. He couldn't turn this situation around.
Fengzhiqi's chess skills were truly terrifying.
"Wu Shen Shan, as the Great Li Royal Court's first Divine Mountain, is the true ruler behind Great Li. Its existence predates Da Jing by far, even surpassing the oldest Divine Sect in Da Jing..."
"During the heyday of Qi Tian Temple, Wu Shen Shan was already extraordinary, standing tall in the Great Desert Snow Mountains..."
Hong Shifu narrowed his eyes.
"Wu Shen Shan's foundation is unfathomable, especially that Great Shaman..."
"In terms of heavenly calculations, they are no less skilled than the Great Sky's Inspector."
"And the Great Shaman sending Jin Taishai to participate in this Heavenly Origin Divine Sect Master's Direct Transmission Test must have prepared an extremely rich foundation..."
"Tai Bai Sect Master... This is the time for those two young girls to prepare their foundation."
Hong Shifu spoke.
Fengzhiqi furrowed his brows, and his robust body seemed to emanate a substantial aura.
"If Jin Taishai dares to use the Great Shaman's power..."
"Lu Tai Bai will definitely not stand idly by."
...
...
Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Thunder Listening Alley.
Independent Workshop Courtyard.
The night was stifling, with leaden clouds rolling in the sky, blocking the moonlight. The rain had stopped, but the moonlight and starlight were completely obscured by the cloud cover.
Inside the courtyard.
"Huff—"
Within the courtyard, the sound of rumbling thunder echoed, as if in harmony with the dark, rolling clouds in the night sky.
This was the sound of Li Che's blood, like mercury, flowing through his body.
Li Che sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard, inhaling and exhaling, his pores expanding, and misty vapor constantly billowing.
With the activation of the Thunder Magnetic Dao Body, although only at level 2, the pulsating thunder arcs on his fleshly body kept writhing, distorting his aura.
Clenching his five fingers, a talisman suddenly flew out from inside the house, a Xuanlei Talisman. When ignited, the writhing thunder intertwined, resembling a thunderous dragon, under Li Che's mental control, it surged towards his fleshly body! The ground shook, and the scent of scorching filled the air.
However, Li Che's body remained unharmed, and the thunder arcs were even captured by his fleshly body, writhing incessantly.
Using the power of the thunder talisman, he refined and tempered his Thunder Magnetic Dao Body.
[Dao Fruit: Thunder Magnetic Dao Body (lv2, 20%)]
Having found a path to improvement, Li Che's Thunder Magnetic Dao Body's maturity level increased, and the progress was significantly faster.
Perhaps, when the Thunder Magnetic Dao Body breaks through to lv3, he can successfully create the "Immortal Artificer Nanwu Super Electromagnetic Cannon."
His heart stirred.
[Dao Fruit: Chess Saint (lv4, 90%)]
Xixi was participating in the personal disciple assessment of the Tai Bai Zong Zhu, while Li Che used the Flying Thunder Chess Piece to continuously establish a connection with her.
As Xixi entered the Quantum Pocket Universe, Li Che needed to activate the Chess Saint Dao Fruit to maintain this connection, which required a significant amount of energy.
Thus, the Chess Saint Dao Fruit's maturity also gained some improvement.
However, it still needed some time to reach level 5.
Li Che was quite looking forward to the Chess Saint Dao Fruit reaching level 5.
After all, the Chess Saint Dao Fruit had provided him with immense assistance all along.
Whether it was the Heaven and Earth Chessboard's ability to isolate auras, the Flying Thunder Chess Piece's ability to teleport and escape, or the surveillance capability...
All these allowed Li Che to handle dangers with ease.
Standing up, Li Che's qi and blood surged like a dragon, his physical body swelling and towering like a mountain, with sinewy veins and bulky muscles crisscrossing his body.
A martial pill was poured out, flicked, and swallowed.
The powerful stomach muscles churned, crushing the pill's shell, and the massive medicinal properties surged out, transforming into energy that flushed through Li Che's body.
Divine Seeds began to emerge, and Li Che started to cultivate martial arts in the courtyard.
Reaching the Grandmaster level, the Divine Seed martial art "Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant" enabled Li Che to condense 108 channels of innate True Essence Aura, reaching the peak of the Innate Grandmaster realm.
A Divine Seed was planted at a unique gateway in the meridian nodes of his physical body.
Li Che was naturally not satisfied with this.
Like You Liqing, who had opened two unique gateways, Li Che planned to plant more Divine Seeds to fully maximize his qi and blood foundation!
Buzz—
In his left arm, there was a faint roar of sword light.
Li Che stood still, his body radiating a powerful aura. His fingers came together like a blade, and he wildly swung them, causing the sword light to rage and slash through the air, cutting through the air currents and bursting the air waves!
It seemed as if the shadows of mountains and rivers appeared layer upon layer, and a solitary figure walked through them!
Buzz…!!!
The brilliant sword light left afterimages in the air, distorting the air currents and leaving a thick, massive sword mark that poured out in the air, lingering for a long time without dissipating.
In his chest, the "Dragon Elephant Vajra" Dao Fruit, unparalleled in its refinement, stimulated the mythic weapon, the Three-Pronged Two-Blade Saber, in his arm, continuously emanating divine power.
Using this divine power, Li Che enhanced the "Thousand Mountains Solo Traveler Divine Saber," a Divine Seed martial art born from the fusion of the two-blade saber!
"Grandmaster level..."
Li Che stood in the center of the courtyard, his entire body like a branding iron, every inch of flesh and skin glowing a glassy red, revealing clear blood beads in his veins.
He spread his fingers, and the sword light in his palm raged and flowed.
