Chapter 309: The Second Face of Qitian Emerges, the Divine Ape's Carving Skill Unveiled (Part 1)
A startling revelation!
Like a volcano that had been suppressing its fury for far too long, the moment it reached its peak, scorching hot lava erupted, shattering the calm and composure.
This Divine Monkey...
This Divine Monkey!
Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia's bodies trembled as they couldn't help but feel the shock. They were all too familiar with Li Che's Divine Falcon technique.
At this moment, the Divine Monkey's display of Divine Falcon carving skills was astonishing. Through ordinary wood carving, a Demi-God Divine Falcon emerged, and the carving style and technique...
Were far too evident!
For a Demi-God Divine Falcon, the carving style is their unique signature style is actually the signature of a Demi-God. It's not a bad thing; rather, it's a great advantage and the primary means of increasing the value of Divine Falcon carvings.
So...
They truly recognized it!
The Divine Monkey was none other than Elder Li!
Li Che!
Gongshu Jingjun's expression changed rapidly, how could this be?
Tang Xiejia's reaction was even more pronounced. His towering body trembled, and he couldn't help but feel goosebumps. A Martial Saint, at this moment, struggled to control his physical body.
Because Tang Xiejia wasn't very sensitive to Divine Falcon techniques; he paid more attention to the Divine Monkey's cultivation...
A Martial Saint!
The fusion of Heaven and Humanity, the intertwining of Primordial Qi...
These were the characteristics and representations of a Martial Saint, indicating that this Divine Monkey... had indeed reached the cultivation level of a Martial Saint! But...
The Divine Monkey was Elder Li!
Doesn't that mean Elder Li has become a Martial Saint?!
This was the most bone-chilling realization. At this moment, Gongshu Jingjun also came to his senses, his pupils narrowing slightly.
The third elder of the Inner Sect, Elder Ding Zi, was equally stunned. Instinctively, he turned to look at the not-so-distant Li Che, whose face wore a gentle smile.
"Elder Li... isn't he here?"
Elder Ding asked.
Upon hearing this, Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia's minds went blank for a moment, and they turned to look at the distant Li Che.
The three of them felt as if their minds were enveloped by the dense mysterious fog, and the scene became hazy.
They couldn't tell, they couldn't tell...
Was this the illusion set up by the Two-Hearted Great Sage Temple, confusing their consciousness?
"Elder Li... isn't he Ma Mian?"
Elder Ding pursed his lips again and spoke.
The identity of Li Che had been a topic of discussion and speculation among the elders of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
The relationship between Li Che and the Netherworld was too good to be normal. Anyone with clear eyes could see the cat-and-mouse game and make their own speculations.
Combining Li Che's exquisite Demi-God Divine Falcon carving skills, his mastery of the Tang Clan's exquisite organ techniques, and his not-too-high cultivation level...
Li Che's identity in the Netherworld was almost obvious.
However, compared to the sinister, cunning, and ruthless Ox Demon, the existence of Ma Mian in the Netherworld was not very prominent.
Every time the Netherworld took action, Ma Mian would stay far away, using powerful organs to launch long-distance attacks.
Among the Netherworld's many villains, Ma Mian had little presence and rarely provoked anger or murderous intent.
Even the cat-faced villain was more hated than him...
But today, the three of them were stunned. If Li Che was Ma Mian, then who was the Divine Monkey today? So, which villain of the Netherworld was Elder Li? Was the Divine Monkey really Elder Li?
Many things could be faked, but a Demi-God's carving skills and style were not. Unless a Divine Falcon Master intentionally imitated another Demi-God, it would be impossible for them to perfectly replicate the carving style of another Demi-God.
Gongshu Jingjun looked at the distant, well-behaved Li Che, and at this moment, he seemed to notice something different about this "Li Che."
Although it was subtle, there was indeed a distinction.
Was this Li Che fake?!
If it was fake...
Suddenly, Gongshu Jingjun's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand something.
He understood why Wu Gang, Yue Wei Zheng, Xuan Yin, and others had failed to pass the first gate on their journey up the mountain.
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-Hearted Great Sage using divine essence, it was still fake.
In other words, it was all fake, so where was the real Li Che? Therefore, as long as Li Che was chosen as the opponent on the journey up the mountain...
There was no way to break free!
Since they couldn't find the real body, there was no way to pass.
In other words, choosing Li Che as the opponent was the same as choosing a dead end!
Gongshu Jingjun's mind suddenly became clear. He felt like he had finally understood.
Tang Xiejia's towering figure stood beside Gongshu Jingjun, his eyes flashing with excitement, and his heart couldn't help but stir.
"If this is true... then the Divine Monkey is Elder Li..."
Tang Xiejia exhaled and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Gongshu Jingjun and Elder Ding's eyes shone with a faint light.
Tang Xiejia looked at the figure holding a golden divine needle in his palm, and his eyes flashed with anticipation.
"Tang Sanjia, Tang Sanjia... You're betting on a monster!"
"Perhaps Tang's mechanisms... still have a chance to astonish the world?"
Tang Xiejia's gaze was slightly dazed.
His innate talent for mechanisms was mediocre, unlike Tang Sanjia's. To rebuild the glory of the Tang family, he had to rely on formidable martial power, so he chose to cultivate the martial path and broke through to become a Martial Saint.
However, as a member of the Tang family, how could he not have thoughts about mechanisms?
How could he not have the ambition to revive the Tang family's mechanisms? But now, the Tang family was in disarray, and all the legendary mechanisms were occupied by the Great Jing Court...
The Tang family's mechanisms had completely declined.
Tang Sanjia's innate talent for mechanisms was high, but what good would it do?
After wasting 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 in the Divine Monkey. Although Li Che wasn't a member of the Tang family, what did it matter?
Tang Xiejia took a deep breath, his two large hands behind his robust body clenching tightly into fists.
The decision that had been wavering in his mind for so long...
The blueprints of that legendary mechanism beast in his hands were useless to him...
He didn't have the ability or the skills to recreate the Tang family's splendor.
Even if he could create it, with his cultivation and strength, he didn't have the capability to protect it...
But.
Li Che, or...
The Divine Monkey, could!
...
...
Buzz—
The slender golden needle in his hand trembled, emitting a subtle vibration.
The golden needle in his hand trembled, emitting a subtle vibration.
The needle's vibration was not overly intense, but it hinted at something profound. The air seemed to resonate with its subtle movements, like a ripple in a stream.
Li Che, wearing the Divine Monkey mask, focused on the needle, his black robe fluttering in the wind.
Plop—
A drop of water fell from the needle, landing on his body, feeling extremely cold.
As he grasped the true Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff, the entire world seemed to quiet down completely, devoid of noise and chaos.
It was as if he had become completely out of place in this Fruit Mountain.
Li Che looked down.
He saw the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff emitting a faint glow, then it howled and spun, creating ripples on the surface like a stone skipping across water, before finally disappearing into Li Che's right palm.
Beneath the Divine Monkey mask, Li Che's eyebrows twitched.
This feeling...
was different from the one he got from the Three Prongs Double Edged Blade hidden in his left arm.
This Five Elders Upper Rank Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff, after merging with Li Che's right arm, seemed to become one with his bones.
With a thought, the staff seemed to roam freely through Li Che's entire skeletal system.
Finally, Li Che tilted his head slightly.
Buzz—
A clear buzzing sound echoed, and the golden staff, which had emerged from his ear, swelled in the air, like a storm gathering...
It transformed into an eight-foot-long golden treasure staff, radiating dazzling light and vibrant colors, as if forged from pure gold.
On the treasure staff, ancient characters spelled out 【Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff】.
It flashed with brilliance!
Li Che clenched his five fingers around the staff, and his body's blood and qi began to boil, as if heated instantly!
Within his chest, the 【Dragon Elephant Vajra】 Dao Fruit throbbed, spreading its pulsations into the staff. The initially unruly staff immediately calmed down, establishing a complete connection with Li Che's mind.
As long as Li Che wished, he could even make the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff grow and grow...
Until it became a towering pillar!
Was this a Five Elders Upper Rank Sacred Weapon?
Li Che's heart trembled slightly. This Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff seemed no weaker than any of the Four Great Sacred Weapons in terms of rank!
After all, Li Che had never mastered any of the Four Great Sacred Weapons.
For example, the Nether Lotus Yin Divine Sword he currently had in the Heaven Earth Chessboard was of the Four Great rank.
If combined with the Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword, it could even reach the Middle Rank of the Four Great.
However, Li Che felt that the rank of the treasure staff and the Nether Lotus Yin Divine Sword were not that different.
Moreover, the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff had the additional effect of being able to do as one wished, and Li Che felt that it was even more extraordinary than the Nether Lotus Yin Divine Sword.
Li Che's heart moved slightly.
His eyebrows seemed to split open, and the Star-Plucking Eye shone, casting down a stream of light.
...
【Divine Armament (Five Elders Upper Rank): Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff】
【Craftsmanship: Mindful Golden Ringed Staff of the Sky, One of the Three Pure Mystical Tower's Sacred Weapon Spirits】
【Introduction: A mythical weapon, only its weapon spirit remains. It absorbs the scattered golden essence of heaven and earth to forge its body, able to adapt to the vast sea and strike true dragons.】
...
Li Che received the appraisal from the Star-Plucking Eye:
He glanced at it, and his eyes narrowed as he understood why this weapon was only of the Five Elders Upper Rank.
This weapon...
was one of the weapon spirits of the Mindful Golden Ringed Staff of the Sky, a Three Pure Mystical Tower weapon. It absorbed the scattered golden essence of heaven and earth, such as gold and metal, to forge its body.
It could be said to be a weapon created by heaven and earth themselves!
Li Che didn't know much about weapon forging, but he understood that it was incredibly impressive for a weapon spirit to condense a Five Elders Upper Rank weapon on its own.
Li Che held the treasure staff in one hand and lightly swept it, and countless staff shadows overlapped, as if smashing the void into pieces!
The dazzling staff flowers bloomed one after another!
"Roar, roar, roar!"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
"King, King, King, Sky-Striding!"
"Sky-Striding!!!
Boom—
Around Fruit Mountain, monkeys with various colored fur began to chirp and chatter excitedly, jumping and swinging from tree to tree.
Li Che held the staff in one hand, and the staff seemed to have a unique feeling.
It was as if something was reluctant to part...
Suddenly, Li Che felt the golden sacred pole, and it fiercely pointed and smashed down.
A violent explosion erupted, as if something was shattering, with a loud clanging sound!
The space seemed to be overwhelmed and shattered, splitting into four pieces like a mirror.
Countless shattered mirrors transformed into flowing light, spinning at high speed.
Li Che's gaze focused, scanning his surroundings.
To his surprise, he found himself inside the familiar enigmatic temple.
The Fruit Mountain had disappeared, along with the chattering monkeys and monkey grandchildren shouting 'Qitian'.
The three figures of Gongshu Jingjun, Tang Xiejia, and Ding Zi at the foot of the mountain had also vanished.
Li Che turned around and looked outside the temple. The perpetually dark tower seemed to have vanished without a trace, and the mysterious fog had also dissipated.
What met his eyes was an endless expanse of white.
The silent sky was filled with gently falling snow, lightly floating and settling on the tiles, eaves, and ground.
The entire place was enveloped in an unparalleled tranquility.
Li Che's gaze flickered, his black hair flying in the wind, his five fingers gripping the divine rod. His senses expanded, and the entire enigmatic temple stood alone on the vast snowy plain.
A stream of light, elegant and serene, flowed down from Li Che's pupils, like two strands of deep and tranquil incense.
At this moment, Li Che's spirit seemed to become excited and exhilarated.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the temple, now bathed in bright light. His eyes fell upon the altar.
There, sitting quietly, radiating Buddha light, was the... Temple Deity, peaceful and serene.
The Temple Deity had come back to life!
Li Che did not use any divine abilities like Summoning the Gods or Manifesting the Gods.
He did not rely on other means to see the Temple Deity; instead, he saw it vividly with his own eyes, lifelike.
It was not the divine falcon Temple Deity.
The divine monkey, draped in a kasaya, had kind eyes and a benevolent gaze, bathed in Buddha light. He looked at Li Che gently.
"Amitabha..."
The divine monkey's voice was hoarse as he spoke to Li Che.
However, this was not the first sentient Temple Deity Li Che had encountered. During the Three Princes' Temple Deity Resonance Test, he had also witnessed the will of the Three Princes' Temple Deity.
He had a brief conversation with it.
Although it was thanks to his daughter's help, for Li Che, being able to benefit from her was an incredibly fortunate matter.
If you have the ability, go and bask in the glory of the daughter!
Li Che nodded and bowed respectfully.
However, before he could speak, the Six-Eared Hell Lotus Monkey's eyes flashed, and with a flick of its finger, a burst of Buddha light shot out and entered Li Che's left arm.
Instantly, it was as if a clanging sound rang out!
The sword light raged and wreaked havoc, as if it would tear the air apart.
The Four Great Sacred Weapons, the Right Thunder Evil Slayer Three-Pronged Double-Edged Blade, hidden within his arm, emitted a dazzling buzzing sound at that moment.
