Chapter 281: Soul Constriction, the Queen Consort Rides the Dragon, Father and Daughter, Both Ancien
Chapter 281: Soul Constriction, the Queen Consort Rides the Dragon, Father and Daughter, Both Ancient Child Prodigies? (Part 2)
The quality of the Golden Ape itself is only Upper Six Offices, and it was forcibly compensated for its defects by the blood-red aura."
With the terrifying pressure brought by Ji Maoli.
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 Art Electromagnetic Cannon... which will also increase the maturity of the Immortal Art 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 Minor Celestial Thunderbolt Shock Killing Symbol, I'll have someone draw it."
Nowadays, Li Che wasn't so poor that he couldn't afford it.
Moreover, there was a Divine Talisman Demi-God within the Divine Sect, and he was Xixi's master. It would be a waste not to utilize this resource.
After briefly sorting out his future cultivation path.
Li Che took out the Dragon Queen's Heaven and Earth Jade and began his favorite inventory-checking process.
However, because he had previously opened the Martial Saint's Heaven and Earth Jade, which belonged to Su Wenxi, the previous head of the Su Clan, Li Che didn't have high expectations for the Dragon Queen's Heaven and Earth Jade.
After all, before that, the Dragon Queen could only be considered a Great 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 Fifth Rank Lower Stage Divine Essence Crystals, a total of fifteen, but that was all. There were no Fifth Rank Middle Stage Divine Essence 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 Fifth Rank Lower Stage, and there was only one of them.
It was a bit embarrassing.
Was this the Queen's Heaven and Earth Jade?
It looked splendid on the surface, but in reality... it was so embarrassing? Li Che furrowed his eyebrows.
Perhaps the Martial Saint's Heaven and Earth Jade's immense wealth had shocked him, so he felt a huge psychological gap with the Queen's Heaven and Earth Jade for a moment.
In terms of martial arts, there were no surprises.
Li Che sighed in disappointment.
Indeed, she was an unfavored Queen...
The word 'poverty' permeated her entire life.
"This is..."
Suddenly, Li Che sensed something.
He clenched his five fingers.
In an instant, a treasure pearl emitting a warm glow appeared in his palm, the size of a fist, and incredibly pure and bright.
A tear opened in his brow, and Li Che activated his Plucking Eye ability.
Analyzing everything, returning to truth! A flash of golden light swept over the treasure pearl.
Instantly, he obtained information.
[Five Elders Middle Rank Ice Bone Dragon Essence Pearl]
This was...
A Dragon Pearl!
A Dragon Pearl! Li Che's eyes lit up!
After the Dragon Queen Ao Yuxin's extreme transformation, she broke the Dragon Pearl and unleashed all the Dragon Essence power within, transforming it into a source of enhancement.
Therefore, after the Dragon Queen's death, nothing was left behind, her flesh turned to ashes, and the Dragon Pearl had already shattered.
But unexpectedly, there was a Dragon Pearl hidden within the Heaven and Earth Jade! A treasure!
A small fortune had fallen into Li Che's lap! A smile appeared on Li Che's face, and this made the trip worthwhile.
This trip's harvest was acceptable!
"The Dragon Essence Pearl contains a vast amount of 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 Demi-God in Guangling Dao City, so if I want to refine the Dragon Essence Pearl, I'll have to go to Great Jing Dao City..."
Li Che shook his head; he didn't have the time to travel that far.
"Just refine and absorb it directly."
"The power of the Dragon Essence is indeed alluring, but my physical body should be able to withstand it."
Li Che glanced at the Dragon Essence Pearl and chose not to put it away. Instead, he stood up.
"Huff—"
He exhaled deeply, and the winds stirred, causing all sounds of airflow, clouds, and rustling leaves to disappear instantly.
Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit pulsed wildly.
Dong, dong, dong—
It was as if an ancient divine bell atop a sacred mountain was being struck by a powerful martial monk, creating waves of vibrations.
The bell's vibrations seemed to emanate from the depths of Li Che's body, rippling through every inch of his flesh and blood.
The insights from the fruit's realization flowed out like a clear stream.
Li Che's eyes flashed with brilliance.
With a long howl, his black hair danced wildly in the night wind, and his spine trembled. His muscles twisted and cracked with a loud popping sound, like a giant dragon's tail whipping through the heavens.
Li Che clenched his fists, and the Dragon Essence Pearl shattered under his grasp!
Boom!
An overwhelming surge of Dragon Essence burst forth, pure and intense, carrying immense power.
Li Che clenched his fist, and the Eight Treasures Golden Thunder Dragon Magic Staff, a Sixth Rank Upper Stage Divine Armament, fell into his hand, trembling uncontrollably.
The insights from the fruit's realization continued to surge, and as Li Che gripped the Thunder Dragon Staff, he pointed it forward, instantly shattering the terrifying airflow.
A mournful blast echoed through the courtyard.
A giant serpentine spirit appeared behind Li Che, rearing its head and howling at the sky.
The Dragon Essence Pearl, shattered by Li Che's grasp, unleashed its power, combining with the insights from the fruit's realization. This synergy gave Li Che a divine boost.
With the power of the Divine Seed and the realization of the Dragon Elephant Heavenly Trigram, Li Che's strength increased tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
Under Li Che's full power, the simple surge of strength was enough to surpass the limits of his physical body.
Boom!
Ecstatic, Li Che's body expanded and contracted, and every pore on his skin opened, madly absorbing the Dragon Essence.
The serpentine spirit behind Li Che seemed to awaken with divine intent.
Time passed, and the entire courtyard was engulfed by chaotic currents, swirling, howling, and booming.
Gradually, the chaos subsided.
The courtyard became silent, and one could hear a pin drop.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes, and the serpentine spirit behind him seemed to have transformed into a real giant serpent.
The serpent's scales were distinct, and the smoke it exhaled dispersed in different directions.
"The Divine Seed Martial Art, Ten-Foot Serpent Spear... Entering the Great Master Realm!"
Li Che opened his eyes, and his muscles crackled with popping sounds.
"The third Divine Seed! Entering the Mysterious Gate!"
Li Che stood in the courtyard, his third Mysterious Gate shining like the Northern Dipper in the night sky.
As the Divine Seed entered the Mysterious Gate, Li Che's formidable physical body underwent subtle transformations.
A tingling sensation spread, but it wasn't intense.
After all, Li Che's body had already experienced metamorphosis.
However, entering the third Divine Seed into the Mysterious Gate was not an easy task; it was extremely dangerous.
Li Che stood in the center of the courtyard, and a lump on his spine seemed to change size with each breath.
When the Divine Seed completely entered the third Mysterious Gate, Li Che's body underwent a metamorphosis unique to this Divine Seed, an innate true trigram... One hundred and eight innate true trigrams!
During the process of nurturing these true trigrams, Li Che tapped his finger, and sword light danced as he began cultivating the Six Desires Extermination Pure Yang Sword Art.
Having just entered the realm of this Divine Seed Martial Art, Li Che needed diligence and effort.
Under the moonlight, Li Che's gaze burned with intensity, and sword qi intertwined.
His daughter had taken refuge under the Great Deity Realm of the Divine Embryo Sect.
As her father, he couldn't be lazy and had to work diligently.
Otherwise...
If he was surpassed by his daughter in the future, it would be embarrassing.
...
...
Three days later.
The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect held a grand banquet in front of their mountain gate, setting up three thousand tables and inviting almost every major and minor power in the city.
The banquet lasted for three days, celebrating the establishment of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Young Sect.
The entire city rejoiced.
The banquet was extravagant, with no expense spared, offering various rare and exotic ingredients.
Many martial artists were delighted, marveling at the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's wealth. After all, the sect had a longer history than the Great Deity Spectrum, so it was normal for them to have some foundation.
As Li Che and Zhang Ya, Xixi's parents, they received the utmost care, with the leaders of various noble houses offering them a toast.
Zhang Ya was in high spirits, drinking cup after cup, her face flushing with warmth.
Li Che didn't stop her, and they drank freely.
Xixi sat beside Zhang Ya, devouring the delicious food, while Li Che watched with a smile.
"Daddy!"
"My wheels are complete!" Xixi exclaimed, showing off her feet while eating.
Sparks burst from beneath her toes, and the two wheels beneath her feet were engulfed in flames.
The wheels spun with a metallic clanging sound, and countless sparks danced, as two Nether Lotus Wind and Fire Golden Light Wheels appeared!
Xixi's body floated into the air, supported by the wheels, as if walking on flat ground.
After showing off for a while, Xixi descended back to Li Che's side.
A very obedient appearance.
Lu Tai Bai's silver hair was clean and fluttering, and by his side, the Sect Lady was sitting in a chair, swinging her little feet.
From time to time, Lu Tai Bai would serve her some food, and the Sect Lady, with her Seven Emotions Divine Carving, ate with oil dripping from her mouth.
After drinking a cup of wine with Li Che, he picked up a roasted spiritual chicken leg for Xixi.
On the side, Gongshu Jing Jun walked over with a smile and clinked glasses.
"Master Li, now that Xixi has become the Young Sect Master, you should be able to put your mind at ease, right? It's time to come to Divine Eagle Ridge and focus on carving the Divine Falcon."
"You've received the Half-Saint Divine Falcon inheritance from Elder Sun, don't waste this inheritance..."
"If Master Li can become a Divine Carving Master in the future, it will definitely be a great joy for the Young Sect."
Gongshu Jing Jun said with a smile.
The Sect Lady, holding a chicken leg, was eating with her mouth full of grease, and suddenly chuckled.
"Although he is Xixi's father, becoming a Divine Carving Master is not an easy feat."
"The Divine Falcon is like the Divine Symbol, easy to learn but difficult to master. Becoming a Divine Carving Master... is too difficult."
"Let's talk about becoming a Half-Saint first. Only after becoming a Half-Saint Divine Falcon will you be qualified to mention the Divine Carving Master. Half-Saint... is just the threshold for seeing a Divine Carving Master."
The Sect Lady said.
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 already understood it thoroughly. I think I can try to create a Half-Saint Divine Falcon."
Li Che said.
Gongshu Jing Jun paused upon hearing this.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Are you serious?"
How old is Li Che, and how long has it been since he received Elder Sun's Half-Saint inheritance before his death, which was created with his heart's blood and sweat...
And he has already understood it?
The Sect Lady chuckled.
"Young man, do you think breaking through to the Half-Saint realm is that easy? Don't assume that just because you've touched the threshold, you can create a Half-Saint Divine Falcon... Seeing a mountain and climbing it are two different things."
"Looking at a mountain can tire a horse to death. Many Half-Saints... spend their entire lives, reaching the brink of sainthood, but that brink... is like the horizon."
The Sect Lady sighed.
She was talking about herself, that brink seemed so close, yet... it was forever out of reach.
Hearing this, Li Che smiled, his eyes glimmering as he turned to the Sect Lady: "Sect Lady, how about... we make a bet?"
The Sect Lady frowned, wrinkling her little nose: "Why are you like Xixi, always liking to gamble? No wonder you're father and daughter... cut from the same cloth."
"Little Jinzi, here, you eat too."
As he pulled out a chicken leg to give to Xixi, who was standing quietly behind him, Jin Taishui, Xixi suddenly turned around in a daze.
It seemed like she heard someone praising Xixi! Lu Tai Bai's eyes flickered, landing on Li Che: "What are we betting on?"
"Hey! Old White, can't you make a decision for me?!"
The Sect Lady stamped her little feet in dissatisfaction.
Li Che smiled: "A little gambling is good for the mood."
"Let's make a bet with the Sect Lady. Within a month, can I carve a Half-Saint Divine Falcon..."
"If I can carve it, I'd like to ask the Sect Lady to draw a Divine Symbol for me."
"Oh? What symbol?" The Sect Lady became curious.
"【Minor Celestial Five Thunder Shock Killing Symbol】!"
Li Che said.
"Huh? A Fifth-Rank Middle-Tier Divine Symbol? What do you want this symbol for? This symbol... is very dangerous, with extremely high killing power... not weaker than a full-power strike from a One Divine Transformation cultivator."
The Sect Lady was astonished.
Suddenly, she looked at Li Che with suspicion: "Also... how do you know about this symbol? This is a Fifth-Rank symbol recorded in the Mystic Symbol Sect's Symbol Book, which ordinary people shouldn't have access to."
"Xixi told me about it, so I kept it in mind." Li Che covered his mouth with a chicken leg, looking confused: "Hmm, hmm, is that right...?"
"I plan to fuse this symbol... into a mechanism."
Li Che smiled gently.
"Good, I'll take that bet! Within a month, if you can carve a Half-Saint Divine Falcon, I'll draw this Minor Celestial Five Thunder Symbol for free!"
"If you can't do it, then within a year, you just need to carve ten Divine Falcons according to my requirements."
Seeing that Li Che wasn't asking for this symbol for any malicious purpose, the Sect Lady readily agreed.
"Then please, Sect Master and Ridge Master, bear witness..."
Li Che poured the wine and offered a toast.
Gongshu Jing Jun was taken aback: "Really?"
He took a deep breath.
Is this Li Che kid too arrogant?
One month...
To carve a Half-Saint Divine Falcon?
Did he just capture a hint of Half-Saint essence and get carried away?!
However, since both of them agreed.
They had no objections.
But within a month, 24-year-old Li Che had to carve a Half-Saint Divine Falcon...
If he really succeeded...
He would probably be on the same level as Xixi, a thousand-year-old divine child!
Both father and daughter as divine children?
Everyone thought Li Che was just a beginner who had just glimpsed the Half-Saint realm and was going through a phase of overconfidence.
Li Che drank the wine in his cup.
A smile lifted the corners of his lips.
Suddenly.
The moment Li Che put down his wine glass, his mud pill between his eyebrows twitched slightly.
Within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
A black chess piece rapidly took shape.
It was Huang Jianjiu's Soul Constrictor chess piece.
It turned out...
He had been continuously defeated ten times in a row?
Who?!
Second update, seeking monthly votes, recommendations, and readers. I've been writing until late at night again, and my wife scolds me. I swear I'll start earlier tomorrow!
