Chapter 281: Divine Capture Empress Consort Rides the Dragon, Both Father and Daughter are Ancient Divine Children? [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 2)
That way, I might be able to increase the speed of the Immortal Craft Fruit of the Way's maturity."
"Also, there's the Organism Beast. I can try crafting a Five Elders-level Organism Beast. The Golden Ape itself is only an upper-level Six Departments, and it was forcibly elevated to compensate for its defects due to the powerful blood essence."
With the terrifying pressure brought by Ji Moling,
Li Che couldn't help but start thinking about how to improve himself.
"If the Thunder Magnetic Body is successfully enhanced, I can also try researching the Immortal Craft Electromagnetic Cannon... which will also improve the maturity of the Immortal Craft Fruit of the Way."
"The Thunder Magnetic Body..."
Li Che closed his eyes, then slowly opened them, "There's too much to do. Forget it... As for that Little Immortal Heaven Five Thunder Shock Talisman, have someone draw it."
Nowadays, Li Che is quite wealthy, so he can certainly afford it.
Moreover, there is a Demi-Saint Divine Talisman within the Divine Origin Sect, and it happens to be Xi Xi's master. It would be a waste not to utilize this resource.
After briefly organizing his future cultivation path,
Li Che took out the Heaven and Earth Jade from the Dragon Queen Consort and began his favorite part—the inventory check.
However, since he had opened the true Martial Saint Heaven and Earth Jade of the Su family's former patriarch, Su Wenxi, Li Che didn't have high expectations for the Dragon Queen Consort's Heaven and Earth Jade.
After all, before this, the Dragon Queen Consort could only be considered a Grand Master.
As expected, he effortlessly pierced through the membrane of the Heaven and Earth Jade.
Li Che began the inventory check.
There were quite a few lower-tier five-star divine crystals, a total of fifteen, but that was all. There were no middle-tier five-star divine crystals.
But it was better than nothing.
Next were the martial pills, and to Li Che's surprise, there were quite a few of them.
There were various types of martial pills, but the highest quality was only lower-tier five-star, and there was only one of that.
It was a bit embarrassing.
Was this the Heaven and Earth Jade of a princess?
It looked splendid on the surface, but in reality... it was so pitiful? Li Che's eyebrows furrowed.
Perhaps the overwhelming wealth of the Saint Heaven and Earth Jade had impacted him, so he felt a significant psychological gap with the princess's Heaven and Earth Jade.
In terms of martial arts, there were no surprises.
Li Che sighed in disappointment.
Indeed, she was an unfavored princess...
The word 'poverty' permeated her life.
"This is..."
Suddenly, Li Che sensed something.
He clenched his five fingers.
In an instant, a treasure pearl appeared in his palm, emitting a warm and lustrous light. The pearl was the size of a fist and incredibly pure and bright.
Li Che opened his third eye, activating the Divine Ability to Pluck Stars.
Analyzing the infinite, perceiving the virtual and returning to the true!
A golden light flashed from his eyes, scanning the pearl.
Instantly, he obtained information.
[Middle Rank Venerable Ice Bone Dragon Essence Orb]
This was...
A dragon pearl!
A dragon pearl! Li Che's eyes lit up.
After Dragon Queen Consort Ao Yu's ultimate transformation, she shattered the dragon pearl, unleashing and burning all the dragon essence power within it, transforming it into a power-up.
Therefore, after Dragon Girl's death, nothing remained, and her physical body turned to ashes, while the dragon pearl had long been shattered.
Yet, a dragon pearl was hidden within the Heaven and Earth Jade!
A treasure!
A little wealth splashed onto Li Che, and a smile appeared on his face. This way, he didn't feel too cheated.
This trip had some decent gains!
"The dragon essence orb contains an immense dragon essence power, but it's a bit violent. If it can be refined into a divine pill, that would be the best."
"But there's no divine pill half-saint in Heavenly Origin Dao City. To refine the dragon essence orb, I'd have to go to Guangling Dao City..."
Li Che shook his head. He didn't have the time to travel that far.
"Directly refine and absorb it."
"The power of the Dragon Essence Orb is indeed tempting, but my physical body should be able to withstand it."
Li Che glanced at the Dragon Essence Orb and chose not to put it away. Instead, he stood up straight.
"Haaa—"
He exhaled deeply, and the chaotic winds stirred! In an instant, all the sounds of airflow, wind, and rustling leaves in the world disappeared!
Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit frantically pulsed.
Dong, dong, dong—
It was as if an ancient divine bell, having witnessed three thousand years of tides rising and falling on a sacred mountain, was now being struck by a powerful martial monk with a single punch.
The bell's vibrations exploded, seeming to surge from the depths of his flesh, rippling through every inch of Li Che's body like waves.
The sudden realization from the fruit's enlightenment flowed out like a clear stream!
Li Che's eyes instantly became dazzling.
With a long howl, his black hair danced wildly in the night wind. His spine trembled, emitting a crackling sound like a dragon's tail whipping through the heavens! Every muscle twisted like a twisted rope, and Li Che's fingers clenched tightly. At this moment, the Dragon Essence Orb was crushed in his grasp!
Boom—!
An overwhelming and fierce Dragon Essence power surged forth, extreme and pure, hot and rolling, containing immense strength! Li Che's clenched fist held the Eight Treasure Mysterious Golden Thunder Dragon Treasure Staff, which had fallen into his hand. This sixth-tier upper-rank Divine Armament trembled continuously.
The power of the fruit's enlightenment continued to surge, and Li Che gripped the Thunder Dragon Treasure Staff, pointing it forward with a sudden motion. In an instant, the terrifying airflow was shattered by his staff!
A mournful sound explosion tore through the courtyard!
A giant python was instantly formed, winding behind Li Che, who roared towards the sky!
The Dragon Essence power from the crushed Dragon Essence Orb, combined with the enlightenment feedback from the fruit, gave Li Che a divine boost at this moment!
The Divine Embryo Martial Art, Ten-Foot Serpent Spear, had already reached a high level of mastery, and Li Che had been tirelessly cultivating this martial art, repeatedly charging towards the Master Realm!
"Dragon Elephant Heavenly Trigram!"
Li Che's eyes exploded with a golden hue, as if a golden python appeared, coiling around his body and rubbing against his trembling spine!
His body expanded and grew, and within his bones, the power to break free from shackles surged wildly!
This divine ability, Dragon Elephant Heavenly Trigram, allowed Li Che's strength to increase tenfold, a hundredfold, even a thousandfold!
With full force, the sheer increase in power was enough to surpass Li Che's physical limits!
Boom—!
Ecstatic, Li Che's body trembled, and his Dantian expanded and contracted, causing every pore to dilate, madly absorbing the Dragon Essence power.
The golden python behind Li Che suddenly became more lifelike.
The snake scales were clear, and the forked tongue it flicked out.
"Divine Embryo Martial Art, Ten-Foot Serpent Spear... has entered the Master Realm!"
Li Che opened his eyes, and his entire body resonated with a crackling sound.
"The third Divine Embryo! Entering the Mystic Gate!"
Li Che stood in the courtyard, and the third Mystic Gate in his spine shone like the Big Dipper in the night sky!
As the Divine Embryo entered the Mystic Gate, Li Che's incredibly powerful physical body began to undergo subtle transformations.
A faint stinging sensation spread, but it wasn't intense.
After all, Li Che's body had already experienced such transformations.
However, entering the third Divine Embryo into the Mystic Gate was not an easy task; it was extremely dangerous.
Li Che stood in the center of the courtyard, and on his back, a bump seemed to grow and shrink with each breath.
When the Divine Embryo was completely guided into the third Mystic Gate, Li Che devoured the Dragon Essence power, transforming it into the innate true energy unique to this Divine Embryo... one hundred and eight strands of innate true energy!
As the innate true energy grew and transformed, Li Che flicked his finger, and sword light danced as he began to cultivate the Six Desires Pure Yang Sword Technique.
Having just entered the Divine Embryo Martial Art, Li Che still needed diligence and hard work.
Li Che's gaze was intense, and under the moonlight, his sword qi danced.
His daughter had joined the Divine Embryo Great Deity Sect.
As her father, he couldn't be lazy; he had to work hard.
Otherwise...
If he was surpassed by his daughter later, it would be embarrassing.
...
...
Three days later.
The Heavenly Origin Sect set up a grand banquet in the courtyard before the mountain gate, with three thousand tables laid out, almost inviting every major and minor power in the city.
The banquet lasted for three days, celebrating the establishment of the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect.
The entire city was filled with joy.
The banquet was also very generous, with no expense spared, and all kinds of rare ingredients were served.
Some wandering martial artists ate with great delight, marveling at the Heavenly Origin Sect's extravagance. However, as the oldest sect in the city, it was only natural for it to have some foundation.
Li Che and Zhang Ya, as Xi Xi's parents, received the most attention, with the leaders of various noble families coming to offer them a cup of wine.
Zhang Ya was in high spirits, drinking cup after cup, her face turning red.
Li Che didn't stop her, as her mood was cheerful, and they drank freely.
Xi Xi sat beside Zhang Ya, devouring the delicious food on the table, her little stomach like a bottomless pit, constantly emptying the dishes.
"Daddy!"
"My Fire Wheels are complete!"
Xi Xi ate while showing off to Li Che, lifting her little feet.
Flames burst forth from her feet, and firelight swept through her toes, accompanied by the clanging sound of metal rubbing against metal. Countless sparks jumped, and the two Nether Lotus Wind and Fire Golden Wheels appeared!
Xi Xi's body floated into the air, supported by the wheels, as if walking on the ground! But after showing off for a while, Xi Xi returned to Li Che's side.
A well-behaved demeanor.
Lu Tai Bai's silver hair shone as he sat beside the Sect Lady, occasionally serving her food from the bowl. The Sect Lady, with her seven kills, ate heartily, her mouth glistening with oil.
After a drink with Lu Tai Bai, Li Che picked up a roasted spirit chicken leg and placed it in Xi Xi's bowl.
Gongshu Jingjun approached with a smile, raising her cup for a toast.
"Master Li, now that Xi Xi has become the Young Sect Master, you should be relieved, right? It's time to settle down at Divine Crane Ridge and focus on carving divine sculptures."
"You've received Elder Sun's Demi-Saint Divine Sculpture inheritance. Don't waste this precious opportunity..."
"If Li Elder can become a Divine Sculpture Master, it will undoubtedly be a great joy for the Young Sect."
Gongshu Jingjun said with a smile.
The Sect Lady, holding a chicken leg, was all greasy-mouthed, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Although he is Xi Xi's father, achieving the level of a Master is not an easy feat."
"Divine Sculptures, like Divine Talismans, are easy to learn but difficult to master. Becoming a Master... is incredibly challenging."
"Let's aim for Demi-Saint first. Once you become a Demi-Saint Divine Sculptor, you'll be qualified to talk about becoming a Master. Demi-Saint is just the threshold to becoming a Master."
The Sect Lady spoke with a sigh.
Upon hearing this, Li Che nodded in agreement.
"Gongshu Ridge Master, I haven't been slacking off recently. I've been studying Elder Sun's inheritance, and I've thoroughly understood it. I believe I can attempt to create a Demi-Saint Divine Sculpture."
Li Che said.
Gongshu Jingjun's Surprise
Gongshu Jingjun paused in her drinking, her eyes flashing with surprise.
"Are you serious?"
How old is Li Che? How long has it been since he received Elder Sun's Demi-Saint inheritance before his death?
And he's already understood it?
The Sect Lady chuckled.
"Young man, do you think breaking through to the Demi-Saint realm is that easy? Don't assume that touching the threshold means you can create a Demi-Saint Divine Sculpture. Seeing a mountain and climbing it are two different things."
"The mountain looks close, but it's still a long way to the top. Many Demi-Saints... spend their entire lives striving for the realm of being a hair's breadth away from Sainthood, but that hair's breadth... is as distant as the horizon."
The Sect Lady sighed.
She was referring to herself, that hair's breadth seemed so close, yet it was... forever out of reach.
Li Che smiled at her words, his eyes gleaming as he turned to the Sect Lady. "Sect Lady, how about... we make a bet?"
The Sect Lady wrinkled her small nose. "Why are you so fond of gambling, just like Xi Xi? No wonder you're father and daughter... cut from the same cloth."
"Little Gold, here, have some."
As she pulled out a chicken leg, Xi Xi, who was standing quietly behind Golden Taisui, turned around in a daze.
Did she just hear someone praising Xi Xi?
Lu Tai Bai's eyes flickered, landing on Li Che. "What are we betting on?"
"Hey! Old White, can't you make decisions for me?" The Sect Lady stomped her little legs in dissatisfaction.
Li Che smiled. "A little gambling is harmless."
"I propose a bet with the Sect Lady. Within a month, can I carve a Demi-Saint Divine Sculpture?"
"If I succeed, I'd like to ask the Sect Lady to draw a Divine Talisman for me."
"Oh? What talisman?" The Sect Lady became curious.
"The Little Immortal Heaven Five Thunder Shock Talisman!" Li Che replied.
"What? A mid-tier five-stage talisman? What do you need it for? This talisman... is very dangerous, with extremely high killing power... comparable to a Great Deity's full-power attack."
The Sect Lady was astonished.
Suddenly, she looked at Li Che suspiciously. "Also, how do you know about this talisman? It's a five-stage talisman recorded in the Mystic Talisman Sect's talisman registry, not something ordinary people would have access to."
"Xi Xi told me about it, and I remembered it." Li Che quickly shifted the blame to Xi Xi.
Xi Xi, with a chicken leg in her mouth, looked confused. "Hmm? Yeah... right..."
"I plan to integrate this talisman into a mechanism."
Li Che smiled gently.
"Alright, I'll take that bet! Within a month, if you can carve a Demi-Saint Divine Sculpture, I'll draw the Little Immortal Heaven Five Thunder Talisman for free!"
"If you fail, then within a year, you'll carve ten divine sculptures according to my requirements."
The Sect Lady, seeing that Li Che wasn't planning anything bizarre with the talisman, agreed readily.
"Then please, Sect Lady and Ridge Master, be our witnesses..."
Li Che poured the wine and offered a toast.
Gongshu Jingjun was taken aback. "You're serious?"
He took a deep breath.
Is this Li Che boy too arrogant?
One month...
To carve a Demi-Saint Divine Sculpture?
Is he getting carried away just because he captured a hint of Demi-Saint essence?
However, since they both agreed, there was no objection.
But for Li Che, who was only twenty-four years old, to carve a Demi-Saint Divine Sculpture within a month...
If he succeeds...
Would he also be a once-in-a-millennium genius like Xi Xi?
Both father and daughter, geniuses of the ages?
The others thought Li Che was just a novice who had a glimpse of the Demi-Saint realm and was getting carried away.
Li Che drank the wine, a smile curving his lips.
Suddenly, as Li Che put down his wine cup, his mud pill between his eyebrows twitched slightly.
In the Celestial Earth Chessboard.
A black chess piece rapidly took shape.
It was the Spirit-Binding Chess Piece of Huang Jian Jiu.
It had been...
Forcefully crushed ten times in a row?
By whom?
