Chapter 309: The Counterfeit Revealed, Acquiring the Second Piece of the Heaven-Reaching Face, the Divine Ape's Embryo Breathing Transformation (Part 1)
Shock!
Like a long-dormant volcano, its scorching heat erupting, spewing out molten lava!
Ripping through calm and composure!
This Monkey God...
This Monkey God!
Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia trembled, their bodies unable to remain still. Their minds were in turmoil, for they were all too familiar with Li Che's Divine Carving Technique.
At this moment, the Divine Carving Technique displayed by the Monkey God, carving a Demi-Saint Divine Eagle from ordinary wood, and the carving style, the carving method...
It was too obvious!
For a Demi-Saint Divine Eagle, the carving style was actually very easy to distinguish.
Style, for a master, was the foundation. Every master-level Divine Eagle carver had their own unique style. For example, some preferred to hold the knife in their left hand, and the knife marks carved on spiritual wood would differ from those of ordinary carvers.
Some master carvers specialized in gouge knife techniques, leaving corresponding traces, and these traces revealed the style of a master carver.
The same was true for Demi-Saint Divine Eagles.
Their styles were even more intense, and for masters and Demi-Saints, it wasn't a bad thing. It was a great advantage and the primary means of increasing the value and proving the authenticity of their carvings.
So...
They truly recognized it!
The Monkey God was actually Elder Li!
Li Che!
Gongshu Jingjun's expression changed, how was this possible?
Tang Xiejia's reaction was even more pronounced. His robust and broad body couldn't help but shudder, and even the mighty Martial Saint struggled to control his physical body at this moment.
Because Tang Xiejia wasn't very sensitive to the Divine Carving Technique. He paid more attention to the Monkey God's cultivation...
Martial Saint!
Heavenly Man Induction, Primordial Energy Weaving...
These were the characteristics and representations of a Martial Saint, indicating that the Monkey God... had truly reached the realm of a Martial Saint!
But...
The Monkey God was Elder Li!
Didn't that mean Elder Li had become a Martial Saint?!
This was the most bone-chilling realization!
At this moment, Gongshu Jingjun also reacted, his pupils slightly constricting.
The third elder of the Inner Gate, Elder Ding Zi, was also shocked. Instinctively, he turned to look at the distant Li Che, the Imitation of the Immortal in the Painting, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Elder Li... isn't he here?"
Elder Ding Zi asked.
Upon hearing this, Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia's minds went blank. They turned to look at the distant Li Che, the Imitation of the Immortal in the Painting.
The three of them felt as if their minds were enveloped by the dense mysterious mist, making the scene before them blurry.
They couldn't tell, they were confused...
Was this an illusion set up by the Two-Minded Great Sage's Temple, bewildering their consciousness?
So, was the Monkey God... really Elder Li?
"Elder Li... isn't he Ma Mian?"
Elder Ding Zi pursed his lips and spoke.
Regarding Li Che's identity, the elders within the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect had discussed and speculated about it.
The relationship between the Netherworld and Li Che's family was too close. Any observant person could see the cat and mouse game and make speculations.
Combining Li Che's exquisite and unparalleled Demi-Saint Divine Eagle carving skills, his mastery of the Tang Clan's exquisite organ techniques, and his not-too-high cultivation...
Li Che's identity in the Netherworld was almost obvious.
He was the Netherworld's Ma Mian!
However, compared to the cunning and ruthless Ox Demon, Ma Mian's presence wasn't very strong.
Every time the Netherworld took action, Ma Mian would only hide far away, using powerful organs for long-range attacks.
Therefore, among the Netherworld's many villains, Ma Mian had little presence and rarely provoked anger or killing intent.
Even the level of hatred he inspired was not as great as that of Catface...
But today, the three of them were a bit dazed. If Li Che was Ma Mian, then today... was Elder Li the Monkey God? So, which villain of the Netherworld was Elder Li?!
And was the Monkey God really Elder Li?!
Many things could be faked, but a Demi-Saint Divine Eagle carver's carving skills and style couldn't be. Unless a master carver intentionally imitated another, even among Demi-Saints, it was impossible to perfectly replicate another's Divine Carving Technique.
Gongshu Jingjun looked at the distant and well-behaved Li Che. Now, he seemed to notice some differences in this "Li Che."
Although subtle, there were indeed distinctions.
This Li Che...
Was fake?!
If it was fake...
Suddenly, Gongshu Jingjun's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand something.
He understood why Wu Gang, Yue Weizheng, Xuan Yin, and others had failed to pass even the first test on the mountain path.
It turned out that the main reason was...
This Li Che was fake!
Since it was fake, even if it was a false body created by the Two-Minded Great Sage's divine nature, it was still fake.
It was all fake, so where was the real body? Therefore, on the mountain path, choosing Li Che as an opponent would basically...
Be unable to break through!
Since they were all false bodies, finding the real body was impossible, and naturally, there was no way to pass.
In other words, choosing Li Che as an opponent... was equivalent to choosing a dead end!
Gongshu Jingjun suddenly understood!
He felt like everything... made sense.
Tang Xiejia stood tall beside Gongshu Jingjun, his eyes flashing. His heart couldn't help but stir.
"If that's the case... the Monkey God is Elder Li..."
"Then this Willful Iron Divine Pole is now in the hands of our Heavenly Origin Divine Sect."
Tang Xiejia exhaled.
Upon hearing this, Gongshu Jingjun and Elder Ding Zi's eyes shone with a faint light.
Tang Xiejia looked at the figure holding a golden divine needle in his palm, his eyes gleaming with determination.
"Tang Sanjia, oh Tang Sanjia... You've bet on a monster."
"Perhaps Tang's mechanisms... still have a chance to astonish the world?"
Tang Xiejia's eyes were slightly dazed.
His talent in mechanisms was rather ordinary, not as remarkable as Tang Sanjia's. To rebuild the Tang family, he had to rely on his formidable martial prowess, so he chose to cultivate the Martial Dao and broke through to become a Martial Saint.
However, as a Tang family member, how could he not have aspirations for mechanisms?
How could he not yearn to revive the Tang family's mechanisms? But now, the Tang family was in disarray, and all the ultimate mechanisms were occupied by the Jing Dynasty court...
Tang's mechanisms had completely declined.
Tang Sanjia's talent in mechanisms was exceptional, but what could he do about it?
Having wasted so much time on mechanisms, his cultivation hadn't even broken through to the Divine Essence stage.
But now, Tang Xiejia saw the potential for the Tang family's mechanisms to rise again through the Divine Monkey. Although Li Che wasn't a Tang family member, what did it matter?
Tang Xiejia took a deep breath, his broad shoulders bearing the weight of two steel-like hands, clenching them into fists.
The decision that had lingered in his mind for so long...
The blueprint of the ultimate mechanism beast in his hands was useless to him...
He lacked the ability and talent to recreate the Tang family's glory.
Even if he could create it, with his cultivation and strength, he wouldn't be able to protect it...
However.
Li Che, or...
The Netherworld Monkey, could!
...
...
Buzzing—
The slender gold-inlaid divine needle in his hand trembled, emitting a faint vibration.
The vibration wasn't too intense, but it seemed to make the air ripple like flowing water.
"Willful Iron Divine Pole."
Li Che wore the Divine Monkey mask, his black shirt fluttering in the wind.
The waterfall's surging water constantly splashed, turning into droplets that fell with a clatter, hitting his body and feeling extremely cold.
As he grasped the genuine Willful Iron Divine Pole, the entire world seemed to become utterly quiet, devoid of noise and chaos.
It was as if he had become completely incompatible with Flower-Fruit Mountain.
Li Che looked down.
He saw the Willful Iron Divine Pole emitting a faint glow, then it whistled and spun, finally passing through the water's surface like ripples, merging into Li Che's right palm.
Under the Divine Monkey mask, Li Che's eyebrows rose.
This feeling...
was different from the sensation of the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber hidden in his left arm.
This Willful Iron Divine Pole, one of the Five Ancients' Divine Armaments, seemed to fuse with the bones of his right arm after merging with it.
With a thought, this divine pole seemed to roam freely through Li Che's entire skeletal structure.
Finally, Li Che tilted his head slightly.
Buzz—
A crisp sound, then this golden Willful Iron Divine Pole, emerged from his ear, swelling in the air amidst the storm...
Transforming into a golden staff, its radiance was dazzling, its light fantastic, as if cast from pure gold.
On the staff, ancient characters spelled out "Willful Iron Divine Pole."
It flickered with brilliance!
Li Che clenched his five fingers, gripping the divine pole tightly, and instantly, the energy within his body boiled, as if heated up in an instant! In his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit pulsated, spreading out, rapidly flowing into the divine pole. The initially rebellious divine pole instantly calmed down.
It established a complete connection with Li Che's consciousness.
With Li Che's will, he could continuously empower the Willful Iron Divine Pole...
Transforming it into a towering pillar!
Was this a Five Ancients' Divine Armament?
Li Che's heart trembled slightly. In terms of rank... this Willful Iron Divine Pole seemed no weaker than any of the Four Sovereigns' Divine Armaments!
After all, Li Che had also mastered the Four Sovereigns' Divine Armaments.
For example, the Hell Lotus Yin Divine Sword hidden in his Heavenly Chessboard.
That was a Four Sovereigns' level armament, and when combined with the Hell Lotus Yang Divine Sword, it could reach the middle rank of the Four Sovereigns.
However, Li Che felt that the rank of the divine pole and the Hell Lotus Yin Divine Sword was not much different.
Moreover, the Willful Iron Divine Pole had the added effect of doing as one wished, and Li Che felt it was even more extraordinary than the Hell Lotus Yin Divine Sword.
Li Che's heart stirred slightly.
His eyebrows seemed to split open, and the Star-Plucking Eye shone with radiant light.
...
【Divine Armament (Five Ancients Upper Rank): Willful Iron Divine Pole】
【Craftsmanship: One of the Heaven-reaching Profound Omnipotent Golden Hoop Staff's Divine Soul, formed by absorbing the scattered golden essence of heaven and earth】
【Introduction: Mythical Armament, only the Divine Soul remains, the body is incomplete, and with its will, it can transform heaven and earth, capable of entering the vast sea to fight true dragons】
...
Li Che received the Star-Plucking Eye's appraisal after identifying the treasure.
He glanced at it, his eyes narrowing, and he understood why this divine armament was only ranked as an upper-rank Five Ancients' Armament.
This divine armament...
was one of the Three Pure Ones' Divine Armaments, the Heaven-reaching Profound Omnipotent Golden Hoop Staff's Divine Soul. By absorbing the scattered golden essence of heaven and earth like a magnet, it formed the golden body of the divine staff.
It was almost like a naturally formed divine armament!
Li Che didn't have extensive knowledge of casting techniques, but he understood that it was an exaggeration for a divine soul to condense a Five Ancients' Armament solely through its own attraction.
Li Che held the staff with one hand and lightly swept it, and instantly, countless overlapping staff shadows crisscrossed, as if tearing the void apart!
The staff's flowers blossomed splendidly!
"Hooo! Hooo!"
"Ooo! Ooo!"
"King, King, King, Heaven-reaching!"
"Heaven-reaching—!!!"
Boom—
Around Flower-Fruit Mountain, monkeys with various colored fur started chattering, each one excited, leaping and swinging from tree to tree!
Li Che held the staff with one hand, and the staff seemed to have a unique feeling.
It seemed like he was reluctant to part...
Suddenly, Li Che felt the Golden Treasure Staff, and with a fierce tap, it smashed down.
A violent explosion erupted, as if something was shattering, with a clanging and clattering sound!
The space seemed to be unable to bear the weight and exploded, shattering like a mirror into countless pieces.
Countless shattered mirrors transformed into flowing light and began to spin rapidly.
Li Che's gaze focused, scanning his surroundings.
But he discovered that he had already appeared in the familiar strange temple.
Flower-Fruit Mountain was gone, and the chattering monkeys and monkey children shouting "Qitian" had also disappeared.
The three figures of Gongshu Jingjun, Tang Xiejia, and Ding Zi, who were standing on the large flat ground at the foot of the mountain, had also vanished.
Li Che turned and looked outside the strange temple. The perpetually dark Deceptive Tower seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and the mysterious mist that was swirling around had also dispersed.
What met his eyes was an endless expanse of white.
The sky was quiet, with falling snow gently floating and settling on the tiles, eaves, and ground.
The entire world fell into an unparalleled silence.
Li Che's eyes opened and closed, his black hair flying wildly, and his five fingers gripping the Divine Rod, sensing the entire strange temple, still standing alone on the vast snowy plain.
A stream of light, like a gentle and peaceful flow, trickled down from Li Che's pupils, resembling two strands of deep and concentrated dark incense.
At this moment, Li Che's spirit became excited and exhilarated.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the bright and illuminated strange temple, his eyes falling on the altar.
The quietly seated temple deity, radiating Buddha light, was incredibly serene...
The temple deity had come back to life!
Li Che did not display any divine abilities like summoning gods or manifesting gods.
It wasn't that he saw the temple deity through other means, but that he truly saw the lifelike temple deity with his own eyes.
It was not the divine carving of the temple deity.
The monkey god, draped in a kasaya, with a kind and benevolent gaze, was bathed in Buddha light, looking gently at Li Che.
"Amitabha..."
"The spirit treasure has chosen its master, and the treasure has a soul. Please use this divine weapon wisely."
The monkey god's voice was hoarse as he spoke to Li Che.
However, this wasn't the first time Li Che had encountered a temple deity with will. During the resonance test in the Third Prince's Temple, Li Che had also witnessed the will of the Third Prince's temple deity.
He had a brief conversation with it.
Although it was due to his daughter's connection, for Li Che, being able to benefit from his daughter's fortune was an incredibly fortunate matter.
If you're capable, you should also take advantage of his daughter's fortune!
Li Che nodded and clasped his fists.
However, before he could speak, the Six-Eared Hell Lotus Divine Monkey's eyes flashed, and he snapped his fingers.
