Chapter 280: My Daughter's Growth, Mother's Pride, and the Underworld's Second General Assembly (Part 1)
A sword light soared into the sky, like a soaring roc spreading its wings, rising straight up!
Piercing through the thin clouds, countless dazzling golden rays of sunlight poured down from above, dazzling and electrifying.
The brilliant sword aura was so blinding that it seemed to captivate everyone's eyes.
In front of the Mysterious Shrine.
All was silent.
Only the loud voice of Lu Tai Bai reverberated throughout the city.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!!!
The sound echoed, as if it was clearly audible in everyone's ears, causing their hearts to tremble in awe.
Many people looked up, gazing at the soaring sword light, which enveloped two figures.
Lu Tai Bai, dressed in white, had silver hair like a waterfall, and a genuine smile on his face. He held the hand of a little girl.
Countless sword auras raged around them, swirling madly, like shooting stars tearing through the sky. They lifted Lu Tai Bai and Xi Xi into the air, suspending them high above the clouds.
Lu Tai Bai, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect and a peerless existence ranked fifth on the Divine Ranking!
His final personal disciple had emerged! Everyone's attention was now focused on the little girl by his side.
At five years old, she was at the age of innocence and cuteness, with eyes like two black dates, spinning curiously. A small black puppy was hidden in her clothes, also looking around with curiosity.
Many people felt a sense of dizziness and astonishment.
Although many had speculated that Li Nuan Xi might eventually become Lu Tai Bai's personal disciple.
But when the truth was revealed, and Xi Xi truly became Lu Tai Bai's personal disciple...
Many still found it hard to accept.
After all, Xi Xi was so young, only five years old...
Yet, she had managed to surpass numerous divine children from various places and become the personal disciple of a divine master!
In front of the Mysterious Shrine.
Golden Taisui had blood dripping from the corner of his mouth as he stared blankly at Li Nuan Xi, who was enveloped in sword aura and soaring into the sky.
He bit his lip, his face showing a hint of unwillingness.
But soon, this unwillingness gradually dissipated.
Because...
Through the records on the golden list, Xi Xi had already surpassed him by a large margin before the first incense stick had burned out.
She had reached the level he had achieved during the second incense stick.
In fact, even without the Heavenly Pig Shrine God's aversion and targeting of the Great Shaman God's power, solely based on their records, he had still lost to Li Nuan Xi.
Not to mention, in the showdown of their trump cards, he had also been defeated.
In fact, it was impossible for them to pass the Temple Sealing Barrier solely relying on their own abilities as divine children. The real test was their trump cards.
And Xi Xi's trump card was undoubtedly terrifying.
What kind of trump card did she possess?
Golden Taisui couldn't understand, and his nails almost dug into his flesh, filled with pain, conflict, distress, and confusion...
Various emotions surged in his heart.
"Defeated..."
"I've lost, and the Great Shaman God will surely be greatly disappointed in me."
Golden Taisui felt deep anguish.
Whoosh!
Two dark shadows swiftly landed on either side of Golden Taisui, and they were the two Divine Embryo cultivators from the Divine Witch Mountain.
Their faces were extremely grim, and disbelief still lingered in their eyes.
They knew about Young Witch Golden Taisui's trump card, which could summon the power of the Great Shaman God... Logically, with such a trump card, Golden Taisui should have been able to directly break through the Temple Sealing Barrier.
"Young Witch, what happened?"
"Did the Heavenly Origin Sect cheat?"
The Divine Embryo cultivator who had almost been strangled by Zhao Fang Zhou earlier asked with gritted teeth.
At this moment, Golden Taisui also regained his senses and shook his head, "It's an issue with the Mysterious Shrine. The Heavenly Origin Sect did not intervene."
"Temple Sealing Barrier, Temple Sealing Barrier, no one can be certain about the situation inside the Mysterious Shrine, which is why it's called the Temple Sealing Barrier. I borrowed the power of the Great Shaman God, and it clashed with the Shrine God within the Mysterious Shrine, provoking the Shrine God of the Four Guardians rank to take action..."
"So I can only say that I was unprepared..."
Golden Taisui was quite calm about his defeat.
"Then, Young Witch... that bet..."
The other Divine Embryo cultivator's eyes suddenly changed, becoming extremely unsightly.
Golden Taisui had lost, and that was that... But...
That bet was a big deal!
Using Dao essence as a bet, if Golden Taisui reneged, the Dao essence witnessing the bet would sever his Dao path...
Golden Taisui's eyes narrowed, and a bitter expression appeared on his face.
...
...
In fact, the third Temple Sealing Barrier had not yet been completed.
Therefore, after Lu Tai Bai's simple announcement, he took Xi Xi and hovered high in the sky.
Inside the Mysterious Shrine, there was another divine child, Yun E, from the Yun family. A Shrine God was hidden within her body.
Unfortunately, this Shrine God did not provide her with much help. Even though Yun E had activated the power of the Shrine God in the Heavenly Pig Strange Shrine, her own strength was ultimately too weak.
The power of the Shrine God she unleashed only helped her defeat the Shrine Guardian Corpse, and nothing more.
When Yun E was sent out of the Mysterious Shrine, the mysterious mist swirled and billowed, but she herself did not show too much disappointment.
She had anticipated this outcome.
But when she saw Xi Xi, who had risen into the sky and was being led by Lu Tai Bai.
Yun E exhaled lightly and raised her hand to touch her forehead. The power of the Shrine God that had gathered throughout her body quickly condensed into an ice crystal-like gemstone, embedded in her fair brow.
"Congratulations, Xi Xi."
Yun E pressed her lips together and revealed a sincere smile.
Originally, she had been under immense pressure, as many people had high expectations of her, hoping that she could suppress Golden Taisui.
But Yun E knew her own situation; her talent was actually quite ordinary, and she mainly relied on the power of the Shrine God.
Her ability to persist until the end in the Heart Tempering Barrier was also due to the Shrine God's help.
In terms of cultivation, she couldn't compare to Golden Taisui.
But now...
Xi Xi succeeded in suppressing Golden Taisui and became a disciple of the Great Deity Tai Bai.
With that, the pressure on her was lifted, and the scrutiny she once faced would no longer be as harsh.
"Thank you, Xi Xi."
Yun E's hair danced in the wind as she gazed at the sky, where Xi Xi excitedly waved at her, a smile blooming on her lips.
Her beauty could topple nations.
...
...
"Dang—!!!"
A sound wave reverberated, like an ancient bronze bell from the oldest temple atop a towering divine mountain being struck with force.
The sound echoed throughout Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Everyone became solemn, and after a brief silence, they burst into an uproar.
The various noble families and influential forces in the jianghu were stirred and excited.
Many jianghu wanderers cheered joyfully.
They only cared that Xi Xi had suppressed Golden Taisui, outshone the young witch from the Divine Witch Mountain of the Great Li Royal Court, and emerged successfully from the assessment to become the personal disciple of Tai Bai and the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect.
In fact, they didn't care whether it was Xi Xi or Yun E who suppressed Golden Taisui.
As long as someone could suppress the one from Great Li, they were worthy of applause and celebration! After all, both Xi Xi and Yun E were geniuses of Great Li.
Lu Tai Bai held Xi Xi's hand, and thousands of sword lights crisscrossed around them.
For the first time, Xi Xi experienced the sensation of flying with a sword, a unique feeling that made her eyes widen with excitement.
The little dog in Xi Xi's clothes was fast asleep, uninterested in this flight.
Lu Tai Bai, with Xi Xi in tow, circled the entire Heavenly Origin Dao City, causing it to buzz with excitement.
Ordinary citizens and jianghu cultivators alike craned their necks to witness this spectacle.
Finally, they returned to the sky above the Heavenly Pig Strange Shrine.
Lu Tai Bai, holding Xi Xi's hand, laughed heartily, his voice reverberating.
"My beloved disciple, Xi Xi, is hereby appointed as the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect. Does anyone have any objections?"
After his words, the elders who had been seated in their chairs rose.
The first elder, Fang Hanshu, the second elder, Zhao Fang Zhou, and the third elder, Ding Zi, all possessing Divine Embryo-level strength, took the lead in standing up and bowing.
"Congratulations to the Sect Master for obtaining an exceptional disciple!"
"Congratulations to the new Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect, Li Nuoxi!"
"We have no objections."
Following them, the fourth elder, Ji He Shan, and the other four elders also stood up, bowing in response.
"Congratulations to the Young Sect Master, Li Nuoxi!"
On the other side.
The elders of Divine Sculpture Ridge, along with the outer sect elders, also stood up, bowing solemnly.
"Congratulations to the Young Sect Master, Li Nuoxi!"
Boom—
As the elders spoke simultaneously, each of them was a top-tier powerhouse in Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Instantly, powerful divine consciousness and intent rumbled and spread across the sky above the Strange Shrine, as if causing a change in the weather.
A brilliant smile appeared on Li Che's face, and the curve of his lips was harder to suppress than the Bloodfire Bodhi Gatling.
The patriarchs of the three ancient families, Yun, Zhou, and Zhong, all possessing Divine Embryo-level strength, spoke up to congratulate the new Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect.
Su Dao Ling, the head of the Su family, had a gloomy expression, but out of consideration for face, he also offered his congratulations.
Almost all the major and minor forces in Heavenly Origin Dao City sent their greetings.
Among the three major powers representing the official Great Li—the Dao City Lord's Manor, the Temple Administration, and the Heaven Divination Bureau—powerful thoughts rippled and spread.
"Yue Huanglong, the Dao City Lord of Heavenly Origin Dao City in Lingnan Dao, Great Li, congratulates Tai Bai for obtaining an exceptional disciple and establishing a new Young Sect Master!"
"Hong Shi Fo, the Inspector General of the Heaven Divination Bureau in Heavenly Origin Dao City in Lingnan Dao, Great Li, congratulates Tai Bai for obtaining an exceptional disciple and establishing a new Young Sect Master!"
"Feng Zhi Qi, the Governor of the Temple Administration in Heavenly Origin Dao City in Lingnan Dao, Great Li, congratulates Tai Bai!"
...
Three figures appeared from three different directions, blending with the heavens and earth, exuding a powerful heavenly will.
Lu Tai Bai nodded gently.
With a flick of his finger, the sword light clanged and shimmered!
"Li Nuoxi is my personal disciple and the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect!"
"Bestow upon her the Lower-grade Four Imperial Divine Armament, 'Nether Lotus Wind and Fire Golden Light Wheel', and the Lower-grade Four Imperial Divine Armament, 'Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword'!"
"Bestow a Fifth-grade Upper-tier Thousand Grass Small Returning Elixir, ten Fifth-grade Middle-tier Hundred Grass Small Returning Elixirs, and a Fifth-grade Middle-tier Demi-Saint Customized Divine Nature Wooden Sculpture!"
"Bestow a Fifth-grade Upper-tier Divine Nature Crystal and ten Fifth-grade Middle-tier Divine Nature Crystals!"
"Bestow..."
Lu Tai Bai spoke loudly, his voice resonating throughout Heavenly Origin Dao City.
His words were like thunderclaps, shaking the human world, as if stirring up a great storm! Each reward was enough to make one's heart tremble with emotion, unable to contain their excitement.
Any one of these rewards was enough to drive a Grand Master to madness!
In an instant, many people's gazes towards Xi Xi became fervent.
As Lu Tai Bai's personal disciple and the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect...
Receiving these rewards was completely reasonable.
"Three days from now, the Heavenly Origin Sect will hold a Young Sect Banquet. The invitations are ready, and everyone is welcome to come and enjoy a cup of spiritual wine to celebrate the establishment of our Young Sect Master!"
Lu Tai Bai's lips curved in a gentle smile as he scanned the powerful individuals with profound meaning.
Many people's mouths twitched.
However, no one spoke up, as this was indeed a joyous occasion, and the Heavenly Origin Sect's grand celebration was justified.
Since the Heavenly Origin Sect had sent out invitations, not attending would be disrespectful, and going empty-handed...
One should at least bring a gift for the Young Sect Master.
With that, Lu Tai Bai, holding Xi Xi's hand, descended with sword energy surrounding them.
The elders bowed.
Li Che also bowed, his smile blooming like a vibrant flower in spring.
Li Che was genuinely happy, even more so than when he had killed Dragon Queen Consort, his greatest threat.
At this moment, Li Che suddenly understood the joy of being a parent.
It was as if his daughter had topped the provincial college entrance examination, that feeling... it was simply indescribably wonderful.
My daughter has finally grown up!
Xi Xi, the Great Empress, has taken a solid step forward!
Lu Tai Bai's gaze fell upon Li Che, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
Li Che paused, bowed, and his figure immediately shot forward, arriving at the carriage. He pulled Zhang Ya, who was completely stunned, down from the carriage.
Zhang Ya finally snapped out of the shock of Lu Tai Bai's announcement that Xi Xi would become his personal disciple. She regained her senses, feeling dazed and confused.
It was only when her husband scooped her up into his arms that she reacted, squirming like a caterpillar in Li Che's embrace and screaming out loud.
"Husband—!"
"Ahhhh— Husband! Our Xi Xi has succeeded!"
"Xi Xi has become the Sect Leader's personal disciple!"
Zhang Ya's face turned bright red, her excitement causing her blood to surge.
She hugged Li Che's neck, her whole body twisting and wriggling in happiness, looking at this moment like an enlarged version of Xi Xi.
Indeed, she was Xi Xi's mother.
Li Che smiled gently and indulgently, "Yes, our Xi Xi is the best!"
"The Sect Leader is waiting for us. Let's go and meet Xi Xi's future teacher."
Li Che's gentle words calmed Zhang Ya down. At this moment, she realized that thousands of eyes were converging on them.
There were jests, envy, smiles, and jealousy...
All sorts of gazes caused Zhang Ya's already flushed face to turn even redder, starting from her neck, "Du—" and slowly, her face turned red once more! Thinking about how she had just squirmed and struggled like a giant caterpillar in Li Che's embrace...
She felt like she had completely died in Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Zhang Ya buried her head in Li Che's embrace like an ostrich.
Li Che led Zhang Ya to the Elders' seats.
"Congratulations, Madam Li."
"Madam Li, you've truly raised your daughter well..."
...
Some of the outer sect elders greeted them warmly; everyone had a courtyard in the city, so they were all familiar with each other.
Li Che and Zhang Ya smiled and exchanged greetings with them.
Finally, Li Che and Zhang Ya arrived before Lu Tai Bai. Xi Xi held Lu Tai Bai's hand obediently, her face full of smiles as she looked at Li Che and Zhang Ya.
"Daddy, Mommy!"
"Isn't Xi Xi amazing?!"
Xi Xi proudly raised her little head and belly.
"She's truly amazing," Li Che praised.
"When we get home, Mommy will make you some braised pork!" Zhang Ya's face was still flushed, but she was also very happy at this moment.
