Chapter 309: The Counterfeit Revealed, Acquiring the Second Piece of the Heaven-Reaching Face, the Divine Ape's Embryo Breathing Transformation (Part 2)
Instantly, a burst of Buddha light shot out and penetrated Li Che's left arm.
In a flash, it was as if a clanging sound exploded!
The sword light raged and wreaked havoc, as if it would tear the air apart.
The Four Sovereign Supreme Divine Weapon, the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber, hidden within his arm, emitted a dazzling and melodious sound at this moment.
It transformed into a stream of light and emerged from his arm, revealing its true form.
"It seems... not just one divine weapon has chosen you."
The monkey god, draped in a kasaya and bathed in Buddha light, smiled and took a deep look at the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber.
"The divine weapon of the Marvelous Dao Manifested Sage Three-Eyed True Monarch... has also chosen you."
"Having too many divine weapons isn't necessarily a good thing. There may be conflicts between them... and when you strive for the Absolute Apex, you'll still need a natal divine weapon."
The monkey god spoke in a calm tone.
"Divine weapons have spirits, and unless they are a complete set belonging to the temple deity, there will be repulsion between them."
"It will affect your future breakthroughs. Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. Remember this, my benefactor."
The monkey god, bathed in Buddha light, seemed to be reminding Li Che.
Because the monkey god sensed that although the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber was hidden within Li Che's body, it had not fully acknowledged its master, which meant... Li Che still had a chance.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior."
Li Che clasped his fists and spoke sincerely.
Suddenly.
In his mind, the sound of a sword's cry echoed.
A burst of black fire erupted, and sword energy raged and intertwined. Then, a pitch-black sword, enveloped in the vast divine power that had revived,
hovered above Li Che's shoulder.
The sword trembled incessantly, reflecting a black lotus, like a unique mark.
Two-Minded Great Sage: "..."
That rebellious divine weapon...
Hell Lotus Yin Divine Sword.
Fortunately, it was only the Yin Sword.
However, the Two-Minded Great Sage sat cross-legged on the altar, bathed in Buddha light, and his monkey cheeks looked somewhat odd.
The Three-Eyed True Monarch, the Furious Third Prince, had now obtained the Willful Iron Divine Pole... one of the Heaven-reaching Profoundly Omnipotent Staffs...
What are you up to, kid?!
Even his rebellious nature was exposed! Li Che was speechless, and seeing the Hell Lotus Yin Divine Sword appear, he also felt somewhat embarrassed.
He felt embarrassed, as if he had been caught twice and had nowhere to hide.
"Senior... please let me explain."
Li Che opened his mouth, but the Two-Minded Great Sage burst into laughter: "Amitabha... my benefactor, you don't need to explain to me, nor do you need to explain to anyone."
"If you can truly succeed... hahahahaha!"
"That's when it will be impressive!"
The Two-Minded Great Sage, sitting on the altar, seemed unable to contain his laughter and began waving his monkey hands, laughing continuously.
After laughing for a long time,
the Two-Minded Great Sage regained his solemnity.
"Divine weapons have spirits, and they choose their masters based on fate. My benefactor, being able to possess three divine weapons... is your destiny. However, I must remind you that your body may not be able to withstand..."
Upon hearing this, Li Che immediately understood.
This temple deity was subtly reminding him.
As long as the strength of his physical body could keep up and bear the power of the divine weapons, it wasn't impossible to master more than one divine weapon?
The Divine Armament itself releases the power of tempering the physical body. Li Che's physical body, under the tempering power of the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber, has already become much stronger.
The Two-Minded Bodhisattva seemed to perceive the thoughts flashing in Li Che's eyes.
Shaking his head, he said, "Indeed, the fusion of the Divine Armament can temper the body of its master, and the master's body will generally be very powerful. The divine nature within the Divine Armament enhances the master's physique, allowing them to bear the power of the Armament and also modify the body to best suit the Armament..."
"If one possesses too many Divine Armaments, the various tempering powers might repel each other, causing damage to the physical body..."
Li Che's heart trembled slightly upon hearing this.
"The Will of Qitian is contained within the Willful Iron Divine Pole..."
"You have obtained this Divine Armament and also have a fragment of Qitian's face, which indicates that you are the chosen one destined by Qitian."
The Two-Minded Bodhisattva looked at Li Che, and his eyes began to shine brilliantly.
"The Willful Iron Divine Pole is one of the Five Ancients Divine Armaments, and it is a fragment of the Chaos Heaven-Crossing Staff's Divine Soul. If you can find the other fragment of the Divine Soul, you can go to the fallen Qitian City and obtain the true Qitian inheritance."
Li Che's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.
The Qitian inheritance?! Although Li Che's martial arts cultivation had already reached the Martial Saint realm, the allure of the Qitian inheritance was still very strong for him.
After all, the Qitian Temple, as the once most magnificent Divine Sect, occupied a terrifying region of the six paths and twelve states of the world.
It can be said that it occupied half of the world.
Its inheritance was undoubtedly extraordinary, and it must have included the inheritance of the Martial Saint realm and the Divine Tribulation level! Li Che was not resistant to inheritance. The higher the martial arts realm, the more difficult it was to progress. How arduous it was to forge one's own cultivation path, and how much easier it would be to stand on the shoulders of giants, to see further and reach greater heights.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
Li Che bowed respectfully.
The Two-Minded Bodhisattva's eyes looked at Li Che with a mysterious gaze.
"The truth and the false, the real and the illusion..."
"The monkeys of Huaguo Mountain..."
"Your king..."
"Won't be returning."
After speaking these words, the Two-Minded Bodhisattva, who was emitting endless divine light, slowly transformed into a Divine Eagle, no longer lifelike, and no longer radiating brilliance.
Huaguo Mountain, a place of no return.
Li Che sighed.
He looked at the Two-Minded Bodhisattva, and vaguely, he seemed to guess and understand something.
"Farewell, Great Sage."
Li Che bowed deeply.
What exactly happened at the Qitian Temple? And what was the Temple God...? Perhaps, only when Li Che reached the walls of the Qitian Temple, found that Three Pure Ones Divine Armament, and grasped it...
Would he be able to understand.
Buzzing—
As Li Che finished his bow and straightened up.
Suddenly—
Li Che's eyes narrowed abruptly.
He saw that on the body of the Two-Minded Bodhisattva, who had transformed into a Divine Eagle, there was an immense Temple God's divine nature, beginning to dissipate and float into the air, gradually condensing and gathering...
Brilliant golden light burst forth.
Each fluttering golden divine nature seemed to transform into a monkey hair swaying in the wind.
And then...
The monkey hair piled up, forming a shattered one-third of a mask.
Li Che stared in astonishment.
The next moment, his eyes flickered slightly.
Qitian's Face
The second piece!
The second piece of Qitian's Face!
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
Li Che exhaled and inhaled deeply, revealing a look of great surprise.
This was a genuine surprise!
A pure surprise! After all, Li Che's first piece of Qitian's Face was obtained near the Strange Shrine of the Heart Monkey Temple in the Golden Light Mansion.
Since it was related to the Heart Monkey Temple, Li Che subconsciously assumed that the other two pieces of Qitian's Face would be located near the other two Daoist sects that split from the Qitian Temple, the Ruyi Sect, and the Heaven-Crossing Tower.
But he never imagined...
Today, in this Strange Shrine of the Five Ancients rank where the Two-Minded Bodhisattva resided.
He had unexpectedly found the second piece of Qitian's Face!
Buzzing—
The Qitian's Face that covered Li Che's face suddenly detached, and countless golden threads began to weave together.
They reached out towards the second Qitian's Face.
Slowly...
The two pieces of Qitian's Face seemed to stick together.
They gently fell into Li Che's palm.
Golden light flowed, and the monkey hair was incredibly smooth.
However, on this mask, the closed crack was extremely clear...
And Li Che could feel that the two pieces of Qitian's Face were slowly merging, and the cracks on them were slowly closing together.
Roar—!!!
Li Che felt a sudden tremor in his Niwan Inner Realm.
Then, he sensed within his Niwan Inner Realm.
The Law-Nature Bright Divine Ape, wrapped around the Divine Essence Golden Core, suddenly opened its eyes!
Endless brilliant golden light burst forth.
An extremely vast divine nature, comparable to the total divine nature of the Four Sovereigns Divine Crystal that Li Che had just obtained, gushed out from the mask and was devoured by the Law-Nature Bright Divine Ape.
Moreover, it didn't require refinement; it was directly devoured by the Law-Nature Bright Divine Ape's divine image!
And in addition to that...
Li Che also sensed the Temple God's divine nature contained within Qitian's Face, condensed into a chess piece.
Li Che's perception swept over, and his eyebrows rose slightly!
A total of ten pieces!
Enough for Li Che to transform into the "King Yama Ascension Form" twice!
Boom—!!!
When the dissipating divine nature madly infused and supplemented the Law-Nature Bright Divine Ape's divine image.
The Divine Essence Golden Core instantly burst forth with an extremely brilliant light!
The entire Niwan Inner Realm...
Once again fell into silence, without a trace of sound.
I'm not sure how long it had been.
Perhaps it was just a moment, or maybe it was several breaths.
Finally...
Boom, boom, boom—
It was as if the sound of a heartbeat was reverberating.
In the dead silence of the Niwan Inner Landscape space, it began to resonate.
Accompanying the vibrations.
It was as if someone was breathing, inhaling and exhaling.
Within the Deceptive Shrine.
Li Che, seated in a cross-legged position, suddenly opened his eyes, and his black hair lashed the air, emitting a brilliant booming sound!
The Law-Nature Bright Divine Ape, nurtured within the Divine Essence Golden Core, was...
Undergoing Embryonic Breath Transformation!
...
...
The Six-Eared Hell Lotus Divine Monkey, Erxin Great Sage, was in the Deceptive Shrine.
Outside the Deceptive Shrine.
The wind and snow abruptly ceased, but the world was enveloped in an icy silence, and all was quiet as if everything had fallen into a deep slumber.
After the Divine Guard Army's Wu Gang was expelled from Little Ling Yin Temple...
One after another, figures were expelled.
They stumbled out of the mysterious mist, looking disheveled and bewildered, and fell into the thick, soft snow.
Yue Weizheng, the Constellation Assassin, Xuan Yin from Profound Symbol Sect, Gu Chuan from Heaven Essence Sect, Ning He from Seven Treasures Sect, and more...
These Martial Saint Divine Embryo powerhouses.
Caused the surrounding crowd to fall into silence.
Those who were stopped at a distance, gazing at the situation within the Deceptive Shrine, trembled with anticipation.
So... brutal?!
Undoubtedly.
These expelled cultivators indicated their elimination, not chosen by the Willful Iron Divine Pole, a divine weapon.
As the howling wind and snow wailed, the mysterious mist seemed to go wild.
One after another, figures tumbled out, looking disheveled.
They were Grand Masters and Divine Essence Realman-level experts who had entered the Deceptive Tower.
When everyone was thrown out, the entire mysterious mist calmed down.
Amidst everyone's bewildered glances.
Someone shouted.
"The people from Heavenly Origin Divine Sect haven't come out yet..."
"And the Netherworld Monkey!"
...
As the words fell, it was like a thunderbolt in the sky, shattering the tranquility of Divine Eagle Ridge.
In the carriage.
Lu Tai Bai was making milk tea for Xi Xi, and a faint smile curved his lips.
"Huh? Master, it seems like Daddy hasn't come out yet?"
Xi Xi's eyes sparkled.
Though young, she wasn't foolish and guessed something.
Xi Xi's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.
She turned to look at Jin Tai Sui, sitting quietly in the corner of the carriage.
"Little Jinzi, open your eyes wide and see if Daddy has come out!"
Xi Xi narrowed her eyes and giggled.
Jin Tai Sui obediently stood up, peered out of the carriage, and shook his head.
Xi Xi pouted, her little belly protruding, and waved her chubby little hands.
"You speak! Say it like I taught you!"
Jin Tai Sui pursed his lips.
"Xi Xi, Daddy is still inside!"
Xi Xi heard this and immediately crossed her arms, laughing.
"Daddy is still inside!"
Boom, boom, boom—
Suddenly.
The quiet mysterious mist churned.
The crowd exclaimed as they saw the churning mist, and a thousand-foot Buddha light soared into the sky, dispersing the leaden clouds laden with snow.
The Buddha light showered down.
It seemed to reveal a mirage of Flower-Fruit Mountain.
A gasp erupted in an instant.
Because the Buddha light revealed the scene of Flower-Fruit Mountain.
On the summit of Flower-Fruit Mountain.
A tall figure stood, holding a Two-Hearted Great Sage Divine Carving in one hand and gripping a golden staff in the other!
In the Buddhist chariot, as Huang Tuo, the Great Mage, calmed the agitated Wu Gang, his body suddenly expanded, and his aura fluctuated.
Huang Tuo, who had been sitting calmly in the chariot, abruptly stood up, causing the ancient bell hanging around the chariot to chime.
"The Netherworld Monkey?"
"And that divine eagle..."
Huang Tuo's eyes instantly blazed with intense heat!
Only the Divine Eagle Demi-Saint from Heavenly Origin Divine Sect could carve such a divine eagle...
Li Che!
In the carriage.
Xi Xi suddenly lifted the curtain and jumped out.
Lu Tai Bai sat calmly, holding a cup of milk tea, staring at the scene revealed by the Buddha light.
He saw the monkey holding the golden staff.
And the Two-Hearted Great Sage Divine Carving in the monkey's other hand.
That familiar divine eagle...
Even the usually calm Lu Tai Bai's expression changed at this moment.
With his insight, he instantly understood.
This divine eagle...
Was it carved by Li Che?
Or... did the monkey carve it himself?!
Suddenly.
The peaceful Deceptive Shrine began to shake.
Then, the churning mist split like a wave.
Like a theater curtain, it parted on both sides.
Within the parted curtain.
The tall figure wearing the monkey mask pierced the Willful Iron Divine Pole through his shoulder, resting it on the back of his neck, and his hands casually draped over the divine pole.
Like this, he stepped out.
And as he did, the Deceptive Shrine...
Crumbling bit by bit!
First Chapter, today I took my daughter, who got burned, to the mall, but it was too crowded, and my laptop ran out of battery before I could finish writing. I'll try to finish the remaining part later, and there will be another chapter tonight.
