Chapter 291: Xixi's Great Emperor Masters the Fire and Wind Golden Light Wheel, Exploring the Nether

Chapter 291: Xixi's Great Emperor Masters the Fire and Wind Golden Light Wheel, Exploring the Netherworld of the Corpse God through the Heaven and Earth Chessboard

The Little Celestial Tower's Five Thunder Shocking Death Talisman, successfully drawn?

Li Che's eyes lit up, and he had originally planned to go around Shen Diao Ridge to investigate the hidden base of the Corpse God Sect's heretics. But upon hearing this news, he immediately canceled his trip.

That was one of the Five Elders' Divine Talismans!

Although Li Che had the assistance of the Painting Immortal Dao Fruit, and could now draw Six-Position Talismans, he still couldn't draw the talismans of the lower Five Elders, let alone the middle-ranked Little Celestial Tower's Five Thunder Shocking Death Talisman!

Moreover, this talisman held extraordinary significance for Li Che, and was far too important!

Aside from being able to refine the Thunder Magnetic Dao Body, it also had another significant use: to fully unleash the power of the newly acquired Divine Ability, Shen Xiao.

At his current level of talisman crafting, Li Che was unable to draw the middle-ranked Five Thunder Shocking Death Talisman of the Little Celestial Tower. However, with the embryonic form of the Shen Xiao Divine Ability, he might be able to replicate it like a barehanded white wolf, creating one copy after another...

In other words, in the realm of Thunder Law Talismans, he would be a Symbol Sage! Furthermore, this talisman was the key to Li Che's conquest of the South Immortal Art Super Electromagnetic Cannon.

"Good, then let's go."

Li Che dusted off his ink-colored shirt embroidered with golden lotus patterns, a garment woven by his wife Zhang Ya. It was his favorite piece of clothing.

However, he would need to be more careful during battles from now on, as this shirt couldn't withstand the impact of his enhanced physical body and would be torn apart.

"Elder Li, please."

Chi Kuang's purple hair flew wildly, his back was extremely muscular, and his spine resembled a giant dragon. The muscles on his neck were stacked like a spectacled king cobra spreading its hood.

Meanwhile, Nie Yang had arrived in a carriage.

Li Che entered the carriage, intending to invite Chi Kuang to join him, but Chi Kuang shook his head in refusal and sat on the carriage shaft, sitting alongside Nie Yang.

Chi Kuang glanced at Nie Yang: "Master said that the Fifth Junior Brother is dead. Now, within the Divine Sect, the only one who can catch up to the Fifth Junior Brother in sword cultivation is you. You still have a chance to step into the realm of the Sword Saint."

Upon hearing this, Nie Yang's cold face showed little expression, and he merely nodded.

"I'll do my best."

Chi Kuang nodded, and his eyes, like copper bells, turned to Li Chengzhou.

"Your disciple? He's a bit lacking in talent."

"My talent is also lacking, and I can only make up for it with hard work and a heart that yearns for the sword path."

Nie Yang briefly explained.

He naturally knew that Li Chengzhou's talent was lacking, but since he had chosen Li Chengzhou, there must be a reason.

Chi Kuang, upon hearing this, remained silent.

"What about your Third Junior Brother?" Li Che asked.

Chi Kuang fell silent for a moment. Xixi, on the other hand, crossed her arms and said indignantly: "The Third Junior Brother is a bad person! He betrayed the Sect Master and joined the Corpse God Sect, that evil sect!"

Li Che's eyes narrowed at this revelation.

"He betrayed the Sect Master and joined the Corpse God Sect?"

Li Che's face turned cold.

"The Third Junior Brother is called Wei Yuan... I don't understand why he would betray the Master. Originally, the Third Junior Brother was the Master's most favored sword genius, even surpassing the Fifth Junior Brother."

Chi Kuang sighed in frustration.

Ascending the circular wooden staircase, Li Che and the others arrived at the rooftop.

Lu Tai Bai sat in a chair, flipping through an ancient book enveloped in divinity.

This was a good find unearthed from the strange temple's Wui Que.

Lu Tai Bai closed the book, his silver hair tied back with a military rope, giving off a casual vibe.

"You're here?"

"The Little Celestial Tower Five Thunder Shocking Death Talisman is quite challenging... Your wife failed many times before finally succeeding."

Lu Tai Bai said with a smile.

"How could she have failed so many times? Don't expose my shortcomings, dear!"

From behind the screen, the Sect Lady, Xuan Qi Sha, floated out with dark circles under her eyes. Her delicate makeup was gone, her hair was in disarray, and she looked a bit disheveled.

Seeing Li Che, she immediately took out a sandalwood box and tossed it to him.

"Here! You win some, you lose some. As promised, this is the Little Celestial Tower Five Thunder Shocking Death Talisman, a mid-tier Five Elders talisman!"

"Be careful, this talisman is extremely powerful... It's a thunder talisman, the most lethal among the various talismans. The power it unleashes when activated is even stronger than the full strength of a Divine Embryo cultivator using their secret divine art!"

Xuan Qi Sha looked at Li Che and cautioned him.

Li Che took the sandalwood box, and Xi Xi's two big toes wiggled. After putting away the golden light wheel, she also curiously stretched her neck to look into the sandalwood box at the talisman.

After thanking the Sect Lady, Li Che put down Xi Xi and opened the sandalwood box.

"Wow!"

"So intricate, so beautiful..."

Xi Xi's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise.

Just a glance made Xi Xi feel like she had seen something incomprehensible.

Inside the sandalwood box lay a half-foot-long yellow talisman, intricately outlined with cinnabar ink, creating a complex talisman pattern.

It was a single stroke, a single breath, a single talisman.

Within the talisman, Li Che even felt the familiar power of heaven and earth, and faintly, it seemed to form a unique domain, constantly drawing the power of heaven and earth into the talisman.

Li Che's eyes lit up, and in his chest, the [Thunder Magnetic Body] and [Painting Immortal] Dao fruits began to throb one after the other!

"Good!"

Li Che exclaimed in admiration.

The Sect Lady, floating in mid-air, rolled her eyes.

"Of course it's good. A mid-tier Five Elders talisman cannot afford any mistakes, one error and the entire talisman is useless, unable to draw upon the power of heaven and earth..."

"If you're satisfied, that's all that matters. As a Divine Eagle Half-Saint, you should understand the difficulty of crafting a Half-Saint Divine Eagle."

The Sect Lady stretched lazily.

"It exhausted me, so your wife has to make me some delicious food as compensation!" The Sect Lady said.

"Xi Xi wants some too, Xi Xi wants some too!"

Hearing about food, Xi Xi immediately became energetic.

Li Che smiled, "Sure, no problem. I'll ask my wife to prepare some, and we'll bring it for you to enjoy tomorrow."

Hearing this, the Sect Lady became delighted, "And we'll need some wine too!"

"No problem!"

Li Che lovingly played with the sandalwood box containing the talisman, his eyes sparkling.

Lu Tai Bai took a sip of tea, patted the cover of the ancient book, and looked at Li Che, "Ah Che, prepare yourself well. The Divine Eagle you carved for the Twinheart Bodhisattva Temple has reached the level of a Half-Saint Divine Eagle. Therefore, this time, when we enter the Wui Que to seek the mythical armament, the Sect Master and the Inner Sect Elders have also included you in the quota after their discussions."

"You can take this time to improve your cultivation and prepare."

"During the heyday of the Qitian Temple, the talismans, mythical armaments, Divine Eagles, and divine pills were all unparalleled in the world. All four great paths were taken to the extreme, and there were many saintly experts."

"So, if the Divine Eagle path is established, after the Dajing attack on Qitian City and the expulsion of the occupying Demon Emperors, our Heavenly Origin Divine Sect will recommend you. Of course, if you can gain the recognition of the Mindful Golden Iron Rod in the Twinheart Bodhisattva Strange Temple, that would be the best, even bypassing the recommendation process."

Lu Tai Bai looked at Li Che with deep meaning.

Hearing this, Li Che's eyes sparkled, and he nodded solemnly.

Qitian Temple?

Li Che took a deep breath.

Within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

The incomplete Qitian face on the chessboard trembled slightly.

...

...

The sun shone brightly and beautifully. As spring warmed up, the rain decreased, and the sun rose high in the sky, occasionally radiating scorching rays.

Li Che returned to the Elder Hall within the Outer Disciple City from the Talisman Tower.

His wife, Zhang Ya, had just finished cultivating with Jiao Shaoqiu and told Li Che about the invitation to the Sect Lady's banquet.

"That's easy, I'll go buy the ingredients now!"

Zhang Ya was delighted, as the banquet with the Sect Lady would give her a chance to see Xi Xi, whom she hadn't seen in several days.

Xi Xi was diligently cultivating, and as her mother, Zhang Ya was also working hard in her cultivation, not wanting to hold back her husband and Xi Xi.

Zhang Ya went to buy the ingredients.

Li Che entered the study and asked Nie Yang to guard it, not allowing anyone to disturb him.

Once inside the study, Li Che clenched his fists, leaving behind a Painting Immortal clone, and his body disappeared.

The candlelight flickered, and on the altar, the Twinheart Bodhisattva Divine Eagle sat quietly.

Li Che appeared within the Twinheart Bodhisattva Strange Temple.

He was already very familiar with this place.

Walking to the entrance of the strange temple, outside, the eerie mist churned violently, filled with restlessness and the aura of death. This was the power of the Wui Que, stirred up by its rebellion.

At this time, anyone entering the Wui Que would have to endure ten times or even a hundred times the divine consumption.

Therefore, at this time, even a Divine Embryo Great Deity would not choose to step into it unless necessary.

No wonder they had to wait for the eerie mist to subside.

Returning to the temple, Li Che looked at the Twinheart Bodhisattva Temple Divine Eagle on the altar, his eyes glinting.

Then, he pointed his toes and jumped directly onto the altar.

"It's been a long time since I last absorbed the divinity of a temple deity..."

"Let's give it a try."

After that, Li Che unleashed his demonic claws!

This Twinheart Bodhisattva Temple was a mid-tier Wui Que, and its temple deity's divinity was naturally of mid-tier level.

The [Immortal Craft] Dao fruit and [Chess Sage] Dao fruit throbbed.

The Star-Plucking Eye was activated.

The flesh on both sides of his eyes tore open, and a golden pupil emerged, spinning rapidly.

Infinite analysis, perceiving the void and returning to truth! An immense absorbing power erupted, and the embryonic form of divine abilities, the Thousand-Hand Palm, also manifested, with his palm resembling a thousand hands and turning jade-colored.

The Strange Temple's Divine Eagle suddenly trembled.

Then, silence ensued.

As Li Che closed his eyes, the entire temple fell into a deathly stillness.

Even Li Che's breathing seemed to disappear.

He maintained his position, seemingly merging with the temple's deity statue.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Finally, Li Che slowly opened his eyes, his Star-Plucking Eye closed.

His thousand-split hands released their grip.

Li Che exhaled.

His mind calmed, and he noticed a divine chess piece enveloped in Buddha's light resting quietly within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

The chess piece was black, but its surface was covered in a faint Buddha's light.

"Buddha's Light Chess Piece..."

Li Che's eyes narrowed.

The area where the chess piece was located, the lines of the chessboard seemed to sink, as if distorted by a peculiar field.

Li Che was satisfied.

He jumped off the altar, realizing that the Twinheart Bodhisattva had something to do with this...

It had been a while since he touched a temple deity, and the sensation was indeed remarkable.

Li Che smiled, sat cross-legged, and took out a Small Divine Sky Thunder Killing Talisman from a sandalwood box.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz—

The crackling thunder arcs, like a whip, lashed at Li Che's palm, causing even him, with his Thunder Magnetic Dao Body, to feel a tingling sensation!

"Is this... the Nine Firmaments Divine Thunder that Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators encounter during the Three Tribulations and Nine Calamities?"

"The Small Divine Sky Thunder Killing Talisman... should be a weakened version of the Nine Firmaments Divine Thunder!"

"But its power is not to be underestimated; it's so refreshing—"

Li Che's Thunder Magnetic Dao Body trembled, and every inch of his skin vibrated.

However, he did not activate this invaluable talisman.

After all, it was a talisman from one of the Five Elders, and Li Che couldn't bear to use it.

The painting of the Immortal Dao Fruit trembled.

The pure heart and divine nature, merged with the seven emotions and six desires, formed a divine ink, which could mimic the myriad things in heaven and earth!

Whoosh—

A scroll of painting rose, and Li Che flicked it with his finger.

From within the scroll, a Small Divine Sky Five Thunder Shocking Death Talisman fell out.

He pinched the talisman between two fingers.

Li Che used the embryonic divine ability, Divine Sky! Instantly, his entire body erupted with dazzling electric light!

Every pore opened, as if spewing out electricity, and countless crackling arcs of electricity burst forth around Li Che.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz—

It was like a thousand birds chirping in unison!

The entire dimly lit strange temple was illuminated by countless electric lights, as if high-wattage light bulbs had been fully lit!

Li Che's jet-black, robust hair whipped in the wind as he felt the thunder power from his Thunder Magnetic Dao Body surging into the talisman!

Li Che felt like...

He was a human-shaped power bank!

When all the thunder power from the Thunder Magnetic Dao Body surged into the talisman, the light flickered, and the Small Divine Sky Five Thunder Shocking Death Talisman, replicated from the painting, crackled with electricity!

"Due to the talisman's inscription pattern, after charging, this replicated Small Divine Sky Five Thunder Shocking Death Talisman has at least seventy percent of the original's power!"

The smile on Li Che's lips could no longer be contained.

His guess had come true!

Feeling the thunder power gradually recovering within his body's cavities, Li Che's mood instantly lifted!

A Demi-God of Talismans... he, Li Che, could also be considered one!

Grasping a Five Elders Divine Essence Crystal, he channeled divine essence to accelerate the recovery of thunder power!

According to Li Che's estimation, he could charge two Small Divine Sky Five Thunder Shocking Death Talismans in a day.

In other words, he could create two Five Elders-tier talismans per day!

"The problem of the Divine Sculpture's super electromagnetic cannon's insufficient firepower... is now solved?"

Li Che clenched his five fingers, and a super electromagnetic cannon bullet made from Xuan Fire Black Phoenix Lei Wood appeared. Though called a bullet, it was empty inside, containing no divine essence chess pieces.

Because it didn't need them...

Moreover, the explosion of Hundred Divine Essence Chess Pieces Equivalent Avalanche and Black and White Extreme Collapse would only disperse the cannon's impact.

The super electromagnetic cannon's killing power relied not on explosions but on the terrifying kinetic impact of the bullet's ejection!

Previously, Li Che's main issue was the problem of unleashing thunder power.

Now, he could indeed use the thunder burst of the Small Divine Sky Thunder Killing Talisman to propel the bullet.

It could unleash a terrifying impact ten times the speed of sound!

"It's almost done..."

Li Che's heart stirred, and the super electromagnetic cannon had another flaw: the accuracy of its ejection.

However, this problem was negligible for Li Che, who possessed the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

"The remaining issue is the material. Xuan Fire Black Phoenix Lei Wood is a fifth-tier lower-grade Spirit Wood... Due to its thunder attribute, the thunder burst won't destroy it, but there's a limit to how much it can withstand... I wonder how many Small Divine Sky Five Thunder Shocking Death Talismans it can handle..."

These required experimentation and research.

Li Che's enthusiasm for researching the super electromagnetic cannon surged.

In the strange temple, he began recovering his Thunder Magnetic Dao Body while mentally simulating and constructing the super electromagnetic cannon.

...

...

Heavenly Origin Divine City.

The Dao Lord Mansion.

The entire city was quiet, but the lights were on.

As the entire city fell into silence, a black shadow suddenly appeared and drifted into the Dao Lord Mansion.

Su Huaiming, wearing black night clothes and a conical hat, entered the mansion.

As soon as he landed, he saw a figure waiting for him.

It was none other than the Young Dao Lord, Yu Wen Wen Long, standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze profound, bathed in moonlight, and a smile on his face, like a man-eating tiger wearing a smile.

"Young Dao Lord... It's late, and you've summoned me here. What's the matter?"

Su Huaiming, the current head of the Su family, asked with a fist salute.

"It's not me who invited you, but someone else who wants to invite you to join them in an endeavor."

Upon hearing this, Su Huaiming's gaze narrowed.

He looked into the distance.

There, he saw two divine and handsome figures. One wore the Constellation Killer Mask of the Hunter Sect, while the other was incredibly handsome, with a dragon horn on his head and a robust and domineering aura.

"A dragon prince from the Dragon Deity lineage!"

Su Huaiming, with his keen eye, immediately recognized Ao Lie's identity.

Ao Lie slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Su Huaiming.

"There's something I'd like to ask you. Are you interested in participating?"

Ao Lie said coldly.

Su Huaiming took a deep breath. When did the dragon prince from the Dragon Deity lineage arrive in Heavenly Origin Divine City without a sound?

Was it for the Dragon Maiden Queen's revenge?

What did he want with Su Huaiming?

"I don't know if Longzi Your Highness... has any matters that require my participation?" Su Daoling bowed and asked.

Longzi Ao Lie looked at Su Daoling, his purple divine eyes shimmering like a mirror.

"I suspect that Li Che is the Netherworld Horse Face..."

"Skilled in mechanism techniques and possessing an extremely high divine eagle standard."

"No! I should say, Li Che is the Netherworld Horse Face, it's as if he's openly declaring his identity... However, regardless of whether he is or not, just having this suspicion is enough."

Ao Lie spoke with a cold tone.

"The Netherworld killed my sister, killed my daughter... This grudge is irreconcilable!"

"However, I came to Primordial Dao City for another reason, and I can't expose my whereabouts... I heard that the Su family also has a deep-rooted grudge with the Netherworld, so I wanted to invite the Su family master to join me."

After he finished speaking.

Standing beside Ao Lie was a Constellation Killer, who snapped his fingers, and a Hunter Pavilion Constellation Killer mask shot towards Su Daoling.

Su Daoling caught it, and his eyes narrowed.

Ao Lie's voice then echoed coldly.

"Together..."

"Assassinate the Divine Eagle Demi-Saint, Li Che!"

...

...

Immersed in the research of the Nanwu Immortal Art Super Electromagnetic Cannon, Li Che had his Thunder Magnetic Body completely drained.

Upon returning to the Listening to Thunder Courtyard, Li Che's thunderous body was once again drained.

A sense of emptiness surged in his heart.

The night was oppressive, with lead clouds rolling high in the sky, obscuring the shy moon, revealing a faint moonlight.

In the small courtyard.

"Huff—"

"Suck—"

Li Che inhaled and exhaled like rolling thunder, as his Thunder Magnetic Body consumed the energy. Taking advantage of the slow recovery process, Li Che began to endure the tempering of his physique and cultivate Divine Seed Martial Arts.

Changing out of the lotus-patterned ink robe sewn by his wife Zhang Ya, Li Che stood naked, as the Heaven and Earth Chessboard enveloped him, isolating the flow of energy.

Subsequently, his physical body transformed, and his vital energy surged like a raging dragon, causing his body to expand and become as tall as a mountain, with blue veins bulging and muscles rippling!

A martial pill shot into his mouth, swallowed into his stomach, where the powerful stomach walls crushed the pill, releasing its medicinal properties.

The surging medicinal power turned into a flood, washing over Li Che's body! Li Che suddenly stomped, spread his five fingers, and fiercely clapped, causing the air to ripple and vibrate like ripples, endlessly!

The dense vital energy exploded, transforming into a mighty crimson crocodile, roaring towards the sky, as if it would tear open the heavens!

Extremely domineering and wild!

Divine Seed Martial Art 【Blood Crocodile Rending Heaven Palm】!

For the past month, Li Che had been immersed in the cultivation of this martial art.

Now, Li Che had already introduced three Divine Seeds into the Eight Strange Doors, and his Innate True Gang had reached three hundred and twenty-seven paths!

Extremely domineering and mighty!

However, Li Che was still not satisfied, as he had not yet reached the limit of his physical body's tempering.

He wanted to open more Strange Doors!

The blood crocodile suddenly roared, and in an instant, countless palm prints appeared, as if the sky was covered by blood, fiercely slapping down, and the air exploded, spreading out in all directions!

The air seemed to emit a sound of unbearable pressure! Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he felt something, and a brilliance appeared in his eyes.

As he continued to practice the martial art, the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fruit throbbed, exploding like thunder.

A crimson crocodile appeared behind Li Che's blood-red palms, and in an instant, countless palm prints flickered and vividly!

Boom——！！！

$

When the fourth Divine Seed was introduced, Li Che suddenly opened his eyes, and the entire courtyard was filled with surging and boiling vital energy, as if it were a crimson ocean!

"Corpse Deity Sect..."

Li Che's eyes widened, and his vital energy surged.

The next moment, he spread his five fingers, and his entire body transformed into a blood-red line, disappearing from his original position.

Outside Divine Eagle Ridge.

The night was quiet.

Li Che appeared, his body filled with surging vital energy.

Beside him was Huang Jian Jiu, carrying a sword case and a wine gourd, and in the distance, You Li Qing and Long Maiden, two Martial Saints, also flew over.

"Master!"

The three Martial Saints bowed respectfully.

Li Che nodded slightly, feeling the surging and boiling spirit due to the introduction of the Divine Seeds. Li Che raised his head, his black hair flying wildly, and spread his arms.

Within the explosive muscles, terrifying power rumbled like thunder, and his bulging veins resembled raging dragons!

However, it was only an instant, and these powers and auras disappeared without a trace.

Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fruit, Sleeping Dragon-Elephant!

Complete concealment!

Li Che completely concealed his aura, not wanting to alert the Corpse Deity Sect. He raised his hand and pointed at his forehead.

"Let me see where these Corpse Deity Sect insects are hiding..."

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard, having reached level 5, expanded from Li Che's position as the Cosmic Center, swirling and spreading out in all directions!

Silently and swiftly, it covered the sky!

Expanding, expanding, and expanding further...

Sweeping over mountains, rivers, and dense forests...

All things in the world seemed to be reflected in the chessboard.

Li Che stood in the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, which had expanded to its limit.

Suddenly, Li Che raised his head, his black hair dancing wildly, and his eyes turned pure black, even the whites of his eyes becoming pure black!

"Mystic Eyes——！！！"

Boom!

In an instant, within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, the world suddenly changed color!

A swirling, expanding vortex of death energy appeared on the chessboard.

Li Che's eyes were pitch-black, and he exhaled...

"Found it..."

The second part, 7000 words, tired and exhausted, seeking monthly votes, recommendations, and readers, Old Li is going to sleep...
