Chapter 300: The Heavenly Primordial Assembly, the Next Heaven-reaching Temple, and the Extreme Triflower Martial Saint (Part 1)
Snowflakes danced in the air, swirling and falling from the sky.
Landing on the skin, the snow crystals seemed to slowly bloom like transparent flowers, resembling exquisite works of art.
Lu Tai Bai raised his hand and caught a snowflake.
"A dog, a three-pronged double-edged blade..."
"Elder, do you think this Netherworld has something to do with the Enigmatic Temple of the Marvelous Dao Manifestation Three-eyed Sage?"
Lu Tai Bai spoke calmly.
Fang Hanchu's scholar's robe fluttered in the wind, his magnificent beard swaying, and his entire being exuded a rich scholarly aura.
"It's just a guess, after all... In this world, there are not many who can have such an evil dog and also possess such a powerful three-pronged double-edged blade energy."
Fang Hanchu shook his head and smiled lightly as he spoke.
"In this world, there are reincarnated temple deities, ancient gods from the outer realms, and various other exotic races... It is said that the Deceptive Tower corresponding to the Enigmatic Temple is buried with the temple deity's corpse..."
"There are too many mysterious and bizarre things in this world. Although the temple deity of the Marvelous Dao Manifestation Three-eyed Sage has always been under our watch, it has always been guarded by our Heavenly Origin Divine Sect..."
"But... the ancient texts left behind by powerful cultivators who survived the heavenly tribulations mentioned that the Deceptive Towers between the Enigmatic Temples are interconnected, and the higher the rank of the Enigmatic Temple, the deeper the Deceptive Tower it opens will lead to..."
Fang Hanchu had read many ancient texts, so he spoke without hesitation.
Lu Tai Bai shook his head, "It might just be a coincidence..."
"The Marvelous Dao Manifestation Three-eyed Sage, the Eight-armed Hell Lotus Furious Prince, and the two Four Imperial Enigmatic Temples in our Heavenly Origin Dao City... That distant Great Supervisor in the Divine Capital wasn't the one who deduced..."
"It is said that these two Enigmatic Temples have the opportunity to ascend to the Three Purities rank, just like the Three Purities Enigmatic Temple in the former Heaven-reaching City, which ascended from the Four Imperial rank to the Three Purities rank... allowing Heaven-reaching City to rise."
Fang Hanchu spoke solemnly, "We must not underestimate the Marvelous Dao Manifestation Three-eyed Sage, perhaps..."
"If there is such a possibility... the Great Sage will definitely not ignore it."
"During the heyday of the Heaven-reaching Temple, it suppressed the court to the point of suffocation, and the power of a single sect overshadowed half the world... We, the cultivators of the Divine Sect, were in awe, while the court was restless."
Lu Tai Bai sat on the steps of the Tai Bai Hall, his silver hair flowing like a waterfall, as if a gentle breeze was blowing through each strand.
He raised his gaze and looked towards the distant mountain peak, which was still blooming with numerous plum blossoms even in the cold winter.
The wind howled and the plum blossoms exuded a sweet fragrance.
"Four Imperial to Three Purities?"
"Since the emergence of the Enigmatic Temple, it has only happened once, giving rise to the Heaven-reaching Temple..."
"Will the Heavenly Primordial Assembly be the next Heaven-reaching Temple?"
"Auspicious..."
"Inauspicious..."
...
...
The Su family's mansion was mostly reduced to ruins.
The cracks in the ground resembled deep abysses, spreading from within the mansion.
It was a stark sight.
This night was destined to be a sleepless one.
Su Daoling, the current head of the Su family, was forcibly killed within the mansion by the Netherworld, without any resistance, crushed under overwhelming violence.
This caused the cultivators of Heavenly Origin Dao City to tremble in fear.
The powerful cultivators from various factions, who had been observing in secret, dared not make a move, even though the Su family now only had one Martial Saint left, and he was a Sea of Qi level cultivator, not a weak one.
Moreover, they also wanted to see the attitude of the Netherworld.
The King of the Netherworld, this terrifying existence, after killing Su Daoling, easily escaped under the siege at the peak by using the Netherworld's teleportation secret technique.
This made the cultivators of Heavenly Origin Dao City truly regard the Netherworld as a force comparable to top-tier factions like the Divine Sect, the Hunting God Pavilion, the Corpse God Sect, and the Heaven-Qi Supervision.
Inside the Su family's mansion.
Su Leibao clutched his dragon-head cane, his entire body becoming hunched again, his back bending as if all strength had left him.
The snowflakes fell sadly from the night sky, swaying and drifting.
Outside the Su family's mansion, numerous gazes, spiritual senses, and primordial spirits focused on Su Leibao, making him feel like he was being pricked by needles.
"Ding-a-ling-a-ling—"
Suddenly,
The sound of a bell rang out, like a soul-stirring lament.
Su Leibao frowned and turned to look towards the end of the ten-mile-long street outside the Su family's mansion.
A similarly hunched figure wearing a cat-faced mask emerged, holding a book in one hand and shaking a copper bell in the other as he walked slowly.
"Netherworld... Cat Face!"
Su Leibao's eyes filled with killing intent.
He clenched his fists.
A pathetic weakling!
Dare to show up at this time?!
If it were any other time, Su Leibao... could have punched this weakling to death.
But at this moment...
Facing this member of the Netherworld, Su Leibao...
Dared not make a move.
He was truly afraid.
If he killed this Netherworld cat-faced member and the King of the Netherworld returned to take revenge...
The Su family would likely lose their last hope.
"The Su family... has no hope left in Heavenly Origin Dao City."
Su Leibao closed his eyes.
He, a Sea of Qi Martial Saint nearing his limit and approaching death, could not save the Su family in the Dao City.
Therefore, Su Leibao was well aware that the Su family had only one option left...
And that was...
To flee! Escape from Heavenly Origin Dao City and head to the Divine Capital!
With the resources to support the third prince, they would rush to the Divine Capital, betting on the third prince to revive the family, even if he seized the position of the Great Sage's crown prince...
With the help of Su Daoling's daughter, the beloved concubine of the third prince, perhaps the Su family could rise again and continue their three-thousand-year legacy, even becoming a five-thousand-year-old clan!
As long as they survived, there was still hope.
However, the foundation of Heavenly Origin Dao City had to be painfully abandoned.
Su Leibao looked at the Netherworld cat-faced member strutting at the end of the long street, enduring the humiliation with gritted teeth.
The humiliation of being trampled on by an ant.
Ding-a-ling-a-ling—
The bell rang out along the long street.
Under the spiritual senses of the powerful cultivators.
Li Qing Shan, wearing the cat-faced mask, felt like a bomb had gone off within him, brimming with confidence and determination.
Who dares say that the Netherworld lacks depth?!
The true powerhouse of the Netherworld has emerged, and it's enough to scare the life out of you all!
"If the King of the Netherworld wants you dead by the third watch, who dares to keep you alive until the fifth?"
"The Netherworld's Cat Face has come to send you off."
"Hehehe..."
...
...
The Two-Hearted Great Sage within the Enigmatic Temple.
Li Che sat cross-legged on the ground.
Within his chest, the Dao Fruit, Dragon Elephant Vajra, pulsated like a heart clutched in a palm. With each squeeze and release, a stream of light shot out, merging into his limbs and bones, healing his injuries.
The injuries on Li Che's body were actually caused by the explosion of five Mystic Seeds, shattering the five bodily shackles, allowing his qi and blood to surge with fivefold intensity!
Under this explosive qi and blood, his power became incredibly terrifying, like a soaring rocket, continuously propelled with fivefold speed.
For ordinary people, they could only chase after the fleeting pleasure of this qi and blood surge, gaining terrifying strength for a moment before withering like a morning glory.
But Li Che was different; he had the Dao Fruit.
Even more, the Dragon Elephant Vajra was only at Level 1 and couldn't sustain Li Che's explosive growth and blooming.
It was the Level 5 Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit that gave Li Che his greatest confidence.
"Huff..."
"Suck..."
Li Che sat cross-legged on the floor of the Enigmatic Temple, the cracks in the ground having fully recovered, white candles adorned the surroundings, their flickering flames emitting a dim light.
Everything seemed incredibly serene.
Inside the Enigmatic Temple, it was the quietest, undisturbed by anyone.
With each breath, Li Che's veins trembled, as if crystal-clear blood was being pushed, creating a tidal wave-like roar.
Over the night, Li Che's injuries healed significantly.
The wounds on his skin, muscles, and bones had completely recovered.
Only the internal organs, slightly more fragile than the flesh and bones, still had faint cracks.
"The speed of recovery... even faster than I imagined."
"As expected of the unparalleled Double Refinement, thick skin and strong flesh."
Li Che smiled.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit's enhancement of flesh and blood was indeed terrifying.
Li Che wondered if, by further elevating the rank of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, he could achieve the level of being able to regenerate from a single drop of blood! Even with just a drop of blood left, he would recover, becoming almost immortal!
The Dao Fruit...
It was Li Che's greatest depth and confidence.
The reason he dared to do this tonight was also because the Chess Sage Dao Fruit had transformed to Level 5, enhancing his Flying Thunder Teleportation ability.
As long as he left a Flying Thunder Chess Piece anchor point, he could teleport there without fail.
It was almost like a conceptual power.
This power...
Even an absolute peak-level existence couldn't stop him.
When it came to the skill of escaping, the Netherworld was always the best!
Buzzing...
Powerful currents erupted from within, and five hundred and forty innate true energies were released, swirling wildly in the air, emitting muffled thunderous sounds.
Li Che's body swelled and became more robust, his muscles stacked like tubers, his skin turning semi-transparent, resembling exquisite artwork. You could see the blood and flesh within, surging like quicksilver, transporting power and roaring madly.
His thick hair swayed wildly, his eyes opened and closed, and golden smoke billowed.
"It's time to break through..."
"The Threeflower Great Grandmaster at the peak, for me, is not even that difficult."
Li Che felt the ever-growing power.
His mind stirred slightly.
In his eyes, a stream of light appeared.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV5, 40%)]
This night's confrontation and clash.
Facing Lu Tai Bai head-on, enduring the pressure of three absolute peak figures, Yue Huang Long and Hong Shiffo, refined his own body, allowing his Dao Fruit to mature significantly.
Of course, there was also the reason he withstood Lu Tai Bai's sword qi.
But that head-on sword pressure and martial will...
That was experience!
After the Dao Fruit reached Level 5, it would become extremely difficult to enhance further.
This wave of improvement made Li Che feel that tonight's events were completely worth it.
Just the 10% maturity increase in the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit alone, the feedback of martial insight, was enough to satisfy Li Che.
Not to mention, tonight's harvest was immense.
Su Daoling was dead, and Ji He Shan was also killed by him. The only regret was that Su Leibao wasn't killed...
After all, Su Leibao wasn't a fool.
When the situation turned unfavorable, he didn't rush in blindly, allowing Li Che to kill him.
With Yue Huang Long and Feng Zhiqi's protection...
It wouldn't be easy for Li Che to kill Su Leibao.
After all...
The current King of the Netherworld...
Wasn't yet a fully mature body.
So, there was no need to insist on killing Su Leibao.
But it wasn't a big problem; they could find another opportunity later.
The Su Family, such a powerful clan, was indeed a formidable force, deeply rooted in Qian Yuan Dao City, with intricate connections and intertwined interests with various factions, forming a vast web of influence and terrifying strength.
However, once the top leaders were assassinated...
Without the leadership of the upper echelons, the Su Family would become a juicy target for other factions.
Originally, the Martial Saint and Divine Embryo were the Su Family's depth, but if the Martial Saint and Divine Embryo were dead...
The Su Family would naturally decline.
Some Threeflower Great Grandmasters and Divine Origin Grand Realizers couldn't protect the vast Su Family business.
The Zhou, Yun, Zhong, Sang, and Zhu Families, among others in Qian Yuan Dao City, weren't pushovers. When faced with opportunities, they would transform into wolves and tigers.
In the end, without Li Che's intervention, the entire Su Family would be torn apart by various factions.
Without the suppression and deterrence of powerful figures, they wouldn't be able to hold onto their wealth and resources.
Just like the once-thriving Tang Clan, which fell apart due to the loss of its strong leaders.
Moreover, the Su Family's domineering actions over the years would lead to a reckoning when they eventually declined.
Regarding the Inner Elder of the Qian Yuan Shen Zong, Ji He Shan, even though he is an Elder of the Shen Zong...
However, Li Che had no hesitation in killing him.
Why not kill him?
Li Che had long harbored murderous intentions towards Ji He Shan, and he had already marked him down in his little book.
Killing him would be a burden-free decision.
Even if he was an Inner Elder of the Shen Zong, what difference would it make?
As long as there was a threat to Xi Xi, Li Che would not hold back in killing!
From the moment Ji He Shan helped the Su family, allowing Su Chuyang and Su Li to approach Xi Xi, Li Che had already sentenced him to death in his mind.
Although Li Che was also an Elder of the Qian Yuan Shen Zong, their relationship was not close enough for Li Che to spare Ji He Shan's life.
Sitting cross-legged in the Enigmatic Temple, his physical injuries had mostly healed.
Li Che's mental state had also calmed down.
Over the next few days, he might need to immerse himself in recovery, and after his physical injuries were completely healed, Li Che planned to take advantage of the feedback from the 10% maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit...
To attempt a breakthrough to the Martial Saint realm.
Li Che had originally planned to cultivate the Eight Gate Divine Seeds Martial Art, and then transfer the eight divine seeds into the Eight Gates, achieving the Eight Gates Posture, before challenging the Martial Saint realm...
However, Li Che had underestimated the difficulty of the Eight Gates.
Even with the assistance of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit... the challenge of cultivating the Eight Gates was indeed formidable.
Because even if he cultivated the Divine Seeds Martial Art to the Mastery realm, the remaining six gates, seven gates, and the eighth gate, the difficulty of transferring the divine seeds into them would be far beyond imagination.
"Five gates of divine seeds... this should be the limit of the Great Sage realm."
Li Che sighed softly.
His physical body had reached its limit, and now, igniting the spirit, essence, and energy of the Three Flowers was just a thought away, not too difficult, and the enhancement to his physical body was also limited.
"My current True Essence Aura is already sufficient for the accumulation of the Three Flowers' True Energy."
Li Che shook his head, the Three Flowers realm was just a way for Great Sages to refine their martial will further, and in the face of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, it would help them take one step further.
"Martial Saint... that's the real challenge and hurdle!"
"And my attempt to challenge the Martial Saint realm... that's the real test and difficulty!"
Within the Enigmatic Temple, a strong wind blew, and the air surged.
Li Che's eyes were deep and solemn.
Because his physical body was too strong, his physical body's Great Core would far surpass that of ordinary Great Sages!
The foundation's solidity would result in the physical body's core being extremely resilient, like an eggshell, making it very difficult for the chick inside to break through!
But once it breaks...
This chick would also be far more robust than ordinary chicks.
Within his chest... the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit wildly throbbed, emitting a thunderous sound.
"I'll strive to break through to the Martial Saint realm before attending the Peach Blossom Banquet in the Divine Capital!
