Chapter 307: The Dao Master's Name on the Book of Life and Death, Distinguishing True from False in the Divine Rod Selection
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The strong wind blew incessantly, sending the falling snowflakes dancing in the air like willow catkins in a gentle spring breeze.
Heavenly Origin Dao City.
The Heaven-Qi Supervision, a twin-eaved flying eaves treasure tower.
The pure white snow covered the black tiles in a thick layer, piling up so high that it resembled an avalanche on a mountain peak, crashing to the ground with a dull 'puh puh' sound.
On the top floor.
Inside the charcoal stove, the temperature was scorching, emitting an intensely red glow that distorted the air.
The temperature inside the tower rose, and the pace of placing the chess pieces on the board became faster and faster, gradually taking on a fierce battle stance.
Clack.
A crystal-clear white piece landed on the chessboard.
"Checkmate."
"Five Hearts United."
The fat on his face trembled, and Sect Leader Yue Huanglong's eyes were almost invisible from smiling. He stroked the small tuft of beard on his chin, and his gaze fell on Supervisor Hong Shiffo.
Hong Shiffo stood up, his body trembling slightly. He had already grabbed the edge of the chessboard, wanting to lift it and smash it into Yue Huanglong's face.
"You despicable fellow..."
"As always, a sly smile conceals your cunning nature."
Hong Shiffo sat back down, slightly annoyed as he rearranged the chess pieces on the board.
After researching the Five Hearts Formation for so many days, he had been easily defeated by Yue Huanglong.
It was mainly because he had been caught off guard. That old fatty had outsmarted him!
He had diverted Yue Huanglong's attention with conversation, and when he was unprepared, executed the Five Hearts United strategy!
No, it was Five Hearts Annihilated!
"You had Yan Jing escort Su Leibao out of Lingnan, mainly to keep an eye on him, right? Your target should be the other members of the Su family... Are you coveting their secret Buddhist land technique?"
Supervisor Hong Shiffo picked up the teacup and, like drinking wine, took a big, bold gulp.
A few tea leaves also entered his mouth, and he chewed for a while before swallowing them with the bitter taste.
Yue Huanglong's plump eyes narrowed, "Supervisor, you can play chess however you like, but you must be careful with your words..."
"I only agreed to let Yan Jing and the Grand Marshal escort him because of the Third Prince's face... Yan Jing's cultivation is extremely strong, and with the Spirit Transformation True Martial, he's almost there."
"Once he cultivates the Spirit Transformation True Martial, he can open a mountain path in the vast Sea of Qi and ascend the mountain road, gaining the qualification to reach the Supreme Apex."
Yue Huanglong laughed.
"With such a powerful Grand Marshal escorting Su Leibao out of Lingnan, how could I possibly target the Su family? As for that secret Buddhist land technique... it's nonsense. I never get involved in such chaotic and messy secrets."
"It's all the Netherworld's doing; I have nothing to do with it."
Yue Huanglong shook his head and chuckled lightly.
Supervisor Hong Shiffo, chewing on a few tea leaves in the corner of his mouth, smiled faintly.
"Haha..."
"Sect Leader, you should be careful. Why would you provoke the Netherworld?"
Hong Shiffo glanced at Yue Huanglong.
Both he and Yue Huanglong had been dispatched to Heavenly Origin Dao City from the Divine Capital by the court to specifically confront Lu Tai Bai...
They were, in a sense, colleagues.
The Temple Governorate, under the command of Wang Kui, focused solely on dealing with the Temple Guardian Corpses and evil entities within the Odd Temple.
They had no interest in confronting the Divine Sect.
Moreover, when Wang Kui was younger, he had traveled the jianghu with Lu Tai Bai and even ventured into the Three Pure Mystical Tower together.
Therefore, the Great Jing Court did not assign a Heavenly Gate Martial Saint to the Temple Governorate.
The main reason was that the Temple Governorate lacked sufficient personnel.
Feng Zhiqi... Although he had an extremely high martial talent and was just one step away from the Supreme Apex...
That one step, however, was incredibly difficult to take.
And without reaching the Supreme Apex, he didn't even have the qualifications to confront Lu Tai Bai.
In truth, Hong Shiffo didn't want anything to happen to Yue Huanglong. If something did, he would be the only one left, and he wouldn't be able to hold back Lu Tai Bai.
If Lu Tai Bai acted recklessly under his watch, what could he, Hong Shiffo, do besides pretend to play chess? He could only choose to forgive him.
Sighing softly, Hong Shiffo began to miss his days at the Heaven-Qi Supervision in the Divine Capital. Back then... he didn't have so many worries, and the Grand Supervisor took care of everything.
Even the Supreme Apex Powerhouses had to be respectful before the Grand Supervisor.
What did he need to do?
He only needed to accompany the Grand Supervisor in playing chess every day, and he was as happy as could be.
But now, in Heavenly Origin Dao City, Hong Shiffo hadn't encountered anyone like the Grand Supervisor in a long time.
"Be careful, this killer star is not to be trifled with. I'm about to change shifts, so you all better be cautious."
Hong Shiffo lightly sighed and began to reminisce about his days in the Divine Capital. Back then... he didn't have so many worries, and the Grand Supervisor took care of everything.
Even the Supreme Apex Powerhouses had to be respectful before the Grand Supervisor.
What did he need to do?
He only needed to accompany the Grand Supervisor in playing chess every day, and he was as happy as could be.
But now, in Heavenly Origin Dao City, Hong Shiffo hadn't encountered anyone like the Grand Supervisor in a long time.

But now, in Heavenly Origin Dao City, Hong Shiffo hadn't encountered anyone like the Grand Supervisor in a long time. He was about to change shifts, so he advised them to be cautious.
Snowflakes drifted down from the sky.
Yue Huanglong, dressed in luxurious robes, was stout and plump, his face adorned with a pleasant and amiable smile, indicating his good mood.
He knew that a significant event was taking place at Divine Crane Ridge, but he had no interest in it, even though Yue Weizheng had also entered the Odd Temple to compete for the Willful Golden Iron Divine Rod.
However, Yue Huanglong didn't have much faith in his son.
Yue Weizheng's talent was passable, but only just. The Second Opening Saint was already Yue Weizheng's limit.
It was basically impossible for him to cultivate the Spirit Transformation True Martial and find the Martial Path in the vast Sea of Qi.
A hint of regret flashed across Yue Huanglong's fleshy face, and he sighed. His bloodline was quite good, but unfortunately, Yue Weizheng's mother had mediocre talent.
Otherwise, how could his son, Yue Huanglong's offspring, fail to find even the Martial Path? Therefore, Yue Huanglong had to plan for Yue Weizheng and Yue Linghu's future.
He set his sights on the Su family's secret Buddhist land technique, the Joyful Zen Buddha Spirit Devouring Skill, which could enhance one's talent by absorbing the essence of women.
This secret technique from the Western Buddhist lands...
Might offer Yue Weizheng and Yue Linghu a chance to change their fate.

Originally, everyone had pinned their hopes on the Divine Falcon Demi-Saint Li Che. However, no one had expected that Li Che would not be able to make the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff move, not even manage to rouse the magic ape.
This left many feeling disappointed, especially Gongshu Jingjun, Tang Xiejia, and Ding Zi, who had placed great hopes on Li Che.
They had made up their minds that if Li Che could stimulate the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff and be chosen by it, they would go all out to help Li Che protect it.
In their understanding, wasn't this the reason why Dao Lord Lu Tai Bai had established this rule?
Gongshu Jingjun, Tang Xiejia, and Ding Zi were not fools; they believed that Lu Tai Bai's purpose was to pave the way for Li Che.
After all, Li Che’s promotion to Divine Falcon Demi-Saint was primarily due to the carving of the Six-Ear Hell Lotus Sacred Monkey Two-Hearted Sage God Shrine statue.
Comprehending the third layer of the Temple Deity Divine Eagle's essence was what allowed him to achieve his promotion.
Therefore, both Shendiao Ling and the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect had great confidence in Li Che.
At the very least, Li Che had a greater chance of mastering this divine weapon compared to others.
After all, this divine weapon came from the Two-Hearted Sage God Shrine, which was under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, and they naturally did not want it to fall into the hands of others.
Even if wielding this divine weapon would cause some significant turmoil.
But with the Great Divine Dao Lord present, what was there to fear?
"Such a pity..."
Tang Xiejia, with his massive build, sighed regrettably.
Gongshu Jingjun's eyes flickered with a great deal of regret.
The two of them had high hopes for Li Che.
Unfortunately...
It seemed that Li Che was now making a wedding dress for the Netherworld Sacred Monkey.
However, if the Netherworld Sacred Monkey obtained this opportunity, it would not be an unacceptable situation for the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
After all, the Netherworld and Xi Xi had a very good relationship. As the Junior Dao Lord of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, Xi Xi naturally made the relationship between the Netherworld and the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect better.
At the very least, it was better than other forces with impure intentions.
Even if the Dao Lord's consort came from the Mysterious Talisman Sect, a major divine sect, she also had her own thoughts and ideas...
Boom—!!!
The movement of the magic ape immediately caused the entire Enigmatic Tower to tremble!
"Roar—!!!"
The magic ape gripped the divine staff, which resembled a heavenly pillar, and lifted it onto its shoulder. Terrifying waves of energy continually surged and intertwined, as if creating shockwaves that resonated violently.
A fierce wind blew throughout the Enigmatic Tower, and the eerie fog swirled.
The massive magic ape, rising from its seated position, stood up like a mountain rising, growing much taller.
Blocking out the sky and casting a shadow over the land!
An immense sense of crisis and pressure surged from all directions.
With each step, the magic ape caused the earth of the Enigmatic Tower to tremble.
In an instant, it appeared before the tiny, ant-like divine monkey.
The enormous eyes of the magic ape fixed intently on the divine monkey, as if examining the divine monkey's mask...
This mask... this mask!
The black, spear-like hairs on the magic ape's body began to tremble slightly.
Li Che, wearing the "Heaven-Crossing Face," transformed into a divine monkey.
After completing the inventory inside the Two-Hearted Sage God Shrine, Li Che did not stay any longer and sensed the situation outside.
Thus, he decided to take action directly.
With a clench of his fingers, he completed the identity switch with the divine monkey.
And with a thought, he retrieved the incomplete Heaven-Crossing Face from the Heavenly Chessboard.
This Heaven-Crossing Face was an incomplete mythical weapon, still missing two more Heaven-Crossing Faces.
When the three Heaven-Crossing Faces were complete, they would form the full Heaven-Crossing Face...
However, Li Che had no leads on the other two Heaven-Crossing Faces.
This Heaven-Crossing Face was obtained from the weakened Heart Ape Temple, near the Two-Hearted Sage God Shrine of the Golden Light Manor.
The other two Heaven-Crossing Faces might be found among the two major lineages that split off from the weakened Heart Ape Temple.
The Ruyi Sect and the Heavenly Gang Tower...
Li Che pondered for a moment.
Wearing the Heaven-Crossing Face, Li Che transformed into a divine monkey. As expected, he still managed to stimulate this temple guardian spell corpse king.
The terrifying pressure of its rank was almost like a mountain collapsing.
Li Che's heart quivered slightly.
This temple guardian spell corpse magic ape...
In terms of combat power, although it had not yet reached the Supreme level, it was very close.
It should have reached the peak of the Ascending Path!
It was on par with Feng Zhiqi, the Chief of the Temple Governorate.
Even in this Enigmatic Tower, the combat power this temple guardian spell corpse king could unleash was not weaker than that of an ordinary Supreme.
In fact, Supreme was a vague concept. A Third Opening Saint who had ascended the Ascending Path and reached the Heavenly Gate was considered the pinnacle of martial arts.
Those who could ascend the Ascending Path were already considered the best in the martial arts world.
Seeing the Heavenly Gate at the peak of the mountain, how could they not be considered Supreme?
For Divine Embryo cultivators, the fourth transformation, where the fetal head transforms into a deity, is called the Divine Nature Supreme.
In short, both Martial Saints and Divine Embryos belonged to the realm of Transcending the Mortal.
And at the fourth realm of Transcending the Mortal, all could be called Supreme.
Of course, there were differences between Supremes, and the gap could be even greater than imagined.
Compared to Lu Tai Bai, who guarded the Heavenly Gate and was listed in the Great Divine Spectrum as a dual Supreme... ordinary Supremes naturally paled in comparison.
The atmosphere inside the Enigmatic Tower seemed to freeze.
Tang Xiejia, Gongshu Jingjun, and Ding Zi's bodies tensed, their eyes fixed on the scene, although Lu Tai Bai had said that the temple guardian spell corpse king would not attack, as this was the opportunity for the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff to choose its master...
It was the will of the Two-Hearted Sage God Shrine's temple deity being conveyed.
As a temple guardian spell corpse, the temple guardian spell corpse king would only be responsible for the selection of the divine staff.
As long as no one forcibly interfered, the temple guardian spell corpse king would not take action.
Otherwise, Lu Tai Bai would not dare to allow so many First Opening Saints and first transformation Divine Embryos to enter the Enigmatic Tower and risk their lives.
"Amitabha... it is about to begin."
The monk Wu Gang from the Xiaolingyin Temple in Westling, with his powerful, muscular body, clasped his hands together, and it seemed as if the sound of Buddhist chants echoed behind him.
The purple, mirror-like eyes of the Dragon Son Ao Lie, from the Dragon Clan, also flickered.
Ji Li Shou did not enter, as his cultivation had long surpassed that of a First Opening Saint, not meeting the rules set by Lu Tai Bai.

The masked Li Che, the Divine Monkey, suppressed a laugh, then nonchalantly shrugged.
"Wu Gang, Yue Wei Zheng, Constellation Killer..."
A thunderous boom reverberated through the air as the Divine Monkey made his choice.
The entire Huaguo Mountain shook, and a path emerged before the crowd, a trail of ancient steps leading to the peak and the sacred staff. Water from the waterfall splashed onto the steps, dampening the stone path.
"Truth and falsehood are intertwined, and falsehood can be true, and truth can be false."
"Everyone..."
"The path is open, and the climb for the staff begins."
The Divine Monkey, draped in a Buddhist robe, smiled gently, and the entire area became quiet, leaving only the sounds of birds, flowers, and the waterfall.
After a moment, the monk spoke, "Amitabha. I am unworthy."
Wugang, in a gray robe, his body as sturdy as a mountain, palms pressed together, took two steps with his worn but immaculate shoes onto the stone path.
Like a lotus flower rising from the mud, he stepped onto the path.
As he did, the large clearing vanished, and Li Che, the Divine Monkey, and Ding Zi disappeared.
The crowd was left in awe, and as they looked up:
The path divided into three sections, and in each section, two figures sat cross-legged. On the winding path leading to the peak, six figures sat in meditation.
Wugang, with nine scarred heads, raised his head.
Palms pressed together, he climbed the steps, neither hurried nor slow, reaching the three-hundredth step.
There, among the moss-covered stones and twisted ancient pines, two figures sat on either side, both honest and straightforward...
The Divine Monkey Half-Saint Li Che.
