Chapter 279: The Ancient Divine Child, the Young Sect Master Xi Xi, and the Celebration of Tai Bai's
Chapter 279: The Ancient Divine Child, the Young Sect Master Xi Xi, and the Celebration of Tai Bai's Sword Qi (Part 2)
Not many people knew about the Dragon Queen Consort's death at the hands of the Underworld, as it happened outside Qian Yuan Dao City.
At this moment, everyone's attention was still focused on the third round of the assessment, the Temple Defense Round, which was about to conclude.
Li Che sat in his chair and exhaled.
Killing the Dragon Queen Consort had relieved him of a burden.
But what concerned him more at this moment was Xi Xi's assessment result.
Daddy has removed another obstacle from your path to growth, Xi Xi... you must also work hard.
Li Che looked at the mist with expectant eyes.
Just as Li Che was about to connect with the Flying Thunder Chess Piece embedded in Xi Xi's body to see how far she had progressed in the Temple Defense Round, an ancient and distant bell chimed.
Dong!
The bell's reverberations filled the air, and the sun shone brightly.
Outside the Strange Shrine, the first incense stick in the three-legged bronze incense burner burned out.
Fang Hanshu brushed his sleeves and lit the second incense stick.
His divine sense erupted, and with a flick of his finger, a roll of golden paper slowly unfurled.
"At the end of the first incense stick, the golden list will display the current Dao Essence height of the three children."
His calm voice drew everyone's attention.
Li Che looked over, his eyes sparkling.
Fang Hanshu's scholar's robe fluttered in the wind, and with a clench of his fist, he seemed to hold a wolf-hair brush with a flying ink tail.
In an instant, a wisp of mysterious mist from the Strange Pavilion was squeezed out by him.
On the golden list, he slowly wrote.
Everyone craned their necks, eagerly awaiting the results.
The two Divine Embryo cultivators from Divine Witch Mountain stared intently at the golden list.
"For the third Temple Defense Round, Yun E, with a Dao Essence height of twenty chi."
As the words appeared, many exclaimed in surprise.
Yun E's foundational Dao Essence height was twelve chi, which was the height she achieved in the second round of the first assessment.
Now, it had reached twenty chi, meaning she had gained eight chi of Dao Essence by killing Shrine Guardian Corpses and demonic beasts during the Temple Defense Round.
The wolf-hair brush continued writing on the golden list.
"For the first Temple Defense Round, Golden Taisui, with a Dao Essence height of twenty-five chi."
The moment the words appeared, it was like a boulder dropped into a lake, causing a huge commotion.
In front of the Strange Shrine, many elders stood up, their faces grave as if they were about to drip with water.
In just one incense stick's time, Golden Taisui... had gained twenty chi of Dao Essence by killing Shrine Guardian Corpses and demonic beasts!
This speed...
Was too fast!
Undoubtedly, Golden Taisui's speed in killing Shrine Guardian Corpses and demonic beasts far surpassed Yun E's.
"Hahaha... Truly worthy of the Young Shaman!"
"The Young Shaman grew up in the Strange Shrine, and the Great Shaman God had him fight Shrine Guardian Corpses of varying degrees. This is something these two girls, who grew up in a greenhouse, can't compare to!"
A cultivator from Divine Witch Mountain burst into uncontrollable laughter.
It's settled.
Absolutely settled!
Although Li Nuanxi, one of the two girls, had the highest cultivation potential, she was also the youngest.
The one they truly feared was Yun E's little girl, worrying that the Yun family possessed some special means.
Now it seems...
It's nothing more than this!
Yun Sanxiao, the Yun family's ancestor, couldn't help but frown as she gazed at the situation displayed on the Golden List. She sighed, her brows furrowing.
In the distance, cultivators from various clans in Qian Yuan Dao City and wandering martial artists all exclaimed in surprise, some with regret and others with sighs...
However, everyone seemed to have realized something, their gazes sharpening as they continued to stare at the Golden List.
Li Che sat in his chair, his brows knitted.
At this moment...
Even he felt a bit tense, although with the Big Black Dog accompanying Xi Xi, everything should be fine.
But...
Li Che took a deep breath, his fingers clenching tightly.
The Mysterious Fog Wolf Hair Brush continued to write on the Golden List.
"Number Two, Temple Suppressing Journey, Li Nuoxi, Dao Essence height of eighty-nine chi."
As soon as the wolf hair brush finished writing, the place erupted.
However, the entire area before the Strange Shrine became eerily silent.
Those who should have been cheering were stunned, gazing at the data on the Golden List, their minds momentarily dizzy.
Even Fang Hanshu couldn't help but take a second glance...
Eighty-nine chi?!
Did the brush go crazy and write an extra 'eight'?
Li Nuoxi's initial Dao Essence was eleven chi, and now it's eighty-nine chi, which means she increased her Dao Essence by seventy-eight chi in the time it takes to burn a stick of incense!
Fang Hanshu almost thought the Sect Leader had intervened, secretly aiding Xi Xi in killing the Shrine Guardian Corpse and the demonic creature.
But after thinking it over, with the Sect Leader's temperament, he wouldn't have interfered.
No one knew how long it took before the exclamations finally erupted, instantly shattering the silence before the Strange Shrine!
"Wow! My Xi Xi... My Xi Xi!"
Zhang Ya, sitting on the carriage shaft, screamed with delight like a little girl, almost jumping up.
The two cultivators from Divine Witch Mountain couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The next moment, the cultivator who had laughed earlier glared furiously.
"Impossible... Absolutely impossible..."
"You Qian Yuan Shen Zong are cheating! You're deliberately making things difficult for our Young Witch!"
The cultivator shouted.
However, the moment he spoke, the other cultivator's face changed slightly.
As expected.
On the Elders' platform, Second Elder Zhao Fang Zhou roared, "How dare you!"
"What are you to accuse our Qian Yuan Shen Zong of cheating?!"
Bang—!!!
A terrifying surge of blood essence, like a pillar of blood, instantly shot into the sky.
Behind Zhao Fang Zhou, a vast expanse of Primordial True Energy appeared, and in an instant, he materialized before the cultivator from Divine Witch Mountain.
His five fingers clenched into a fist and slammed down, transforming into claws as they struck.
The cultivator's face changed slightly, and he wanted to use his divine nature to resist.
However, Elder Fang Hanshu flicked his finger, and a pure white divine nature surged forward, striking the cultivator's Niwan Palace.
The cultivator from Divine Witch Mountain felt as if a huge bell had exploded in his ear.
Zhao Fang Zhou grabbed him and slammed him hard onto the ground, his terrifying power almost crushing the Divine Embryo cultivator from Divine Witch Mountain.
Zhao Fang Zhou's eyes flashed with killing intent.
Finally, he had a reason to take action!
The other cultivator from Divine Witch Mountain quickly apologized, calming the anger of the elders.
Li Che glanced over, shook his head, and with a thought, he entered the Celestial Earth Chessboard, using the Flying Thunder Chess Pieces to project the scene within the Strange Pavilion.
The scene unfolded...
A small, delicate black puppy's paw.
Black fur, pink paw pads, and not even sharp claws could be seen.
It gently patted downwards...
Then, a silver-glowing, fat-headed, big-eared, pig-nosed, and bristly-haired Shrine Guardian Silver Corpse...
Was directly smashed into pieces! The powerful Shrine Guardian Silver Corpse's body exploded into a pile of tofu, becoming a mass of rotten flesh.
An extremely dense stream of Dao Essence power surged out from the Shrine Guardian Silver Corpse, coiling around Xi Xi's head.
The pillar of Dao Essence, combined with the Dao Essence power of the Shrine Guardian Silver Corpse, directly reached a height of one hundred and twenty chi.
The little black puppy wagged its short black tail, its four dainty and adorable paws bouncing on the ground, as if it were going on a leisurely stroll.
Xi Xi carried a pink Immortal Craft Gatling, following the puppy with her short legs.
The two small figures, in the eerie and sinister Strange Pavilion filled with a terrifying aura, seemed to be on a carefree outing.
Suddenly, the puppy stopped, raising its paw to point at the distance.
After the Shrine Guardian Silver Corpse was smashed into tofu by the puppy's paw, Xi Xi's Temple Suppressing Journey came to an end.
Rushing water sounds echoed.
Xi Xi poked her small head forward, and the next moment, the Mysterious Fog dissipated, revealing a wide and raging river.
The rushing water roared, moving at incredible speed, and with the flow, a white mist rose, resembling a fairyland.
"Milky Way!"
Xi Xi exclaimed, "Wow!" as the fog cleared, revealing two characters written on a black stone tablet.
Having learned many characters from the Sect Lady, Xi Xi instantly read them out.
A thunderous rumble sounded.
The Milky Way's waves churned and rose.
The flowing water formed a water dragon, extending to Xi Xi's front.
The puppy leaped into Xi Xi's embrace, its head retreating slightly, and it yawned lazily.
Xi Xi stepped onto the river, and instantly, she was lifted and landed on the white jade steps before the Strange Shrine.
Upon reaching the white jade steps, Xi Xi, as the first candidate to arrive, felt the Dao Essence power rising from within the steps.
Five streams of Dao Essence power merged into Xi Xi's already one hundred and twenty chi of Dao Essence, and finally, her Dao Essence height reached one hundred and twenty chi!
...
...
Golden Taisui's Young Witch robe fluttered as he rose into the air, his eyes glowing with brilliant gold.
Behind him, a figure wearing a tall hat emanated a crimson aura, providing Golden Taisui with an immense divine power.
The divine pattern between Golden Taisui's eyebrows was writhing incessantly.
He was displaying the "Divine Summoning Technique" of Divine Witch Mountain, summoning a strand of the Great Shaman God's will! This was also the reason for Golden Taisui's confidence in dominating the temple-guarding path without any opposition.
However, at this moment, Golden Taisui encountered an obstruction.
The Shrine Guardian Corpse before him had a second form, seemingly aided by the power of the Temple Deity, transforming into a fat-headed, big-eared creature with a pig's nose and bristly hair!
Its hideous fangs resembled a pair of divine blades.
The power Golden Taisui borrowed from the Great Shaman God was almost exhausted, yet he still couldn't defeat his opponent. The main reason was...
Its thick, tough skin made it incredibly difficult to kill!
Golden Taisui gritted his teeth, a hint of unease creeping into his heart.
He glanced at the grotesque Shrine Guardian Corpse's demonic fog, and in that moment, he seemed to notice the Strange Temple glowing faintly!
"Not good..."
Golden Taisui let out a loud cry, swiftly slicing his palm, causing blood to ooze out. He then pressed his palm against the divine pattern between his eyebrows.
He was going to summon more power from the Great Shaman God!
A thunderous sound reverberated.
A blood-colored lightning bolt surged across the Strange Pavilion, rolling and sweeping through.
Golden Taisui exuded a dazzling golden light, and the Great Shaman God's will, summoned behind him, slowly opened its eyes.
In the instant the eyes opened...
The dense demonic fog instantly...
A nine-foot silver-hued rake, shimmering with splendor, tore through the strands of fog, swinging in an arc and gouging out a path.
Golden Taisui screamed.
Blood gushed from his mouth and nose.
When he opened his eyes again...
He found himself outside the Strange Temple, under the watchful gaze of countless onlookers.
Golden Taisui wobbled to his feet, the divine pattern between his eyebrows already faded. He wiped away the blood from his mouth and nose, his heart still pounding with fear.
The Nine-Toothed Exorcist Demon Subduing Strange Temple...
So, the Great Shaman God...
Was considered an evil demon?!
How cunning!
Lu Tai Bai!
Golden Taisui wasn't foolish; he instantly understood that from the moment the Strange Temple was chosen as the assessment location, he had no chance at all.
Lu Tai Bai had known from the start that the will of the Great Shaman God would provoke the power of the Temple Deity, and that it would stimulate the Heavenly Pig Divine Armament!
Golden Taisui panted heavily, a sinister scheme...
Truly treacherous!
He turned to look at the Golden List.
The second incense stick had just burned out.
Then, on the Golden List, the wolf hair brush wrote, recording the height of each participant's Dao essence pillar.
Golden Taisui saw that his own Dao essence pillar had completely frozen at eighty-three feet.
He then looked at Xi Xi's performance during the first incense stick...
His entire body stiffened, the divine light in his eyes completely drained.
He was utterly dispirited.
He had fought with all his might, yet...
He couldn't even surpass Xi Xi's performance in the first round?
Suddenly, on the Golden List...
As the second incense stick burned out, Xi Xi's performance was also revealed amidst the cheering and applause.
It slowly appeared.
"The second temple-guarding path is cleared, Li Nuanyi, Dao essence pillar height one hundred and twenty-five feet."
...
...
The Nine-Toothed Exorcist Demon Subduing Strange Temple.
Inside the Strange Temple.
Accompanied by the ringing sound of metal.
A nine-foot silver-hued rake, shimmering with a mysterious glow, suddenly shot out and embedded itself into the altar of the Strange Temple, where a handsome man sat cross-legged.
Along with the flickering candlelight.
The nine-foot rake seemed to transform into nine candles, slowly igniting with a dancing flame.
On the meditation cushion inside the Strange Temple.
Dressed in a white robe, Lu Tai Bai, with his silver hair, slowly opened his eyes.
Brushing off the dust from his white robe, he stood up with a smile and bowed towards the divine sculpture of the Temple Deity.
"Thank you for your assistance, Temple Deity."
The man on the altar opened his eyes and surprisingly spoke.
"Quickly take that girl and the dog away!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tai Bai burst into laughter.
A peculiar light flashed in his eyes.
That dog...
What was its origin? A dog...
Lu Tai Bai couldn't help but think of the Black Dog with its slender body from the Strange Temple of the Four Imperial Lords and Three-Eyed Manifesting True Lord.
However, he didn't dwell on it further.
Taking a step forward, sword light flashed, and he landed outside the Strange Temple, beside Xi Xi, who was curiously peeking out.
He ruffled the little girl's head.
"Little girl, congratulations."
Xi Xi, holding the dog, looked at Lu Tai Bai, his silver hair flowing, and his handsome appearance.
Her eyes instantly sparkled with excitement!
"Clap!"
Two plump little hands clapped in a gesture of respect.
"Xi Xi, I pay my respects to the Sect Leader and Master!"
Lu Tai Bai's silver hair fluttered, and he laughed heartily at the quirky Xi Xi.
"Hahahaha!"
The sword light enveloped Xi Xi, and Lu Tai Bai took a step forward.
The entire Strange Pavilion's demonic fog seemed to be split in half by the sword light in an instant.
The sword light even carried Xi Xi with it.
They had already appeared outside the Strange Temple, and the sword energy soared upwards, radiating brilliance!
A loud, clear voice echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Origin Dao City.
"Jin Guang Manor's Divine Child, Li Nuanyi, has passed the three-round assessment, ascending with purple qi, possessing an extraordinary temperament and exceptional means!"
"She is a once-in-a-millennium Divine Child of Lingnan Dao!"
"Today, she officially becomes my last disciple, and also the Young Sect Leader of the Heavenly Origin Sect!"
"Today, I, Lu Tai Bai, have gained a beloved disciple!"
"Spread the news throughout the world!"
"Congratulations!"
