Chapter 310: The Emergence of the Treasure Soul, a Proclamation to the Divine Realm

Chapter 310: The Emergence of the Treasure Soul, a Proclamation to the Divine Realm

Crack! Crack!

Thunder rages ferociously in the vast sky, hidden within the endless leaden clouds. The dark, oppressive cloud layer seems to descend upon the mortal realm, bringing an intense sense of oppression.

Countless bolts of lightning burst forth, and the cold, solemn air is filled with a tingling numbness that stimulates the skin.

Pitter-patter...

Perhaps it is the scorching heat brought by the thunder that causes the accumulated snowflakes in the clouds to melt into raindrops. Then, under the scorching temperature, they fall swiftly from the high sky.

Shendiao Ling, a vast expanse of boundless snowy plains.

Someone subconsciously raises their head, their eyelashes tremble, and their pupils reflect the raindrops falling from the sky, magnifying in their irises.

On the raindrops, it's as if a mirror reflects the continuously collapsing Odd Temple, Mystical Tower, and mysterious fog...

And from within the parting fog, a carefree and unrestrained figure in a black robe slowly strides out.

Beneath the flying golden fur mask, a hint of a mouth can be seen, curved into a flamboyant arc.

The heavens fall silent.

Only the scorching raindrops, falling from the lofty sky, make a muffled sound as they hit the snowy plains.

And the Divine Monkey, step by step, emerges from the collapsing Odd Temple, accompanied by the image of the temple's disintegration.

Everyone is stunned.

Even Lu Tai Bai, with his silver eyebrows and black pupils, can't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

The Odd Temple...

Has collapsed?!

Lu Tai Bai has seen this scene before.

As a Dual Apex powerhouse, he has also raided the Odd Temple. When the temple deity's divine nature is extracted, and the deity falls into a deep sleep, the temple collapses.

This collapse is different from the disappearance of the Odd Temple under the control of the Su family, which was irreversible and completely vanished from the mortal realm, even the Mystical Tower dissipating without a trace, as if it had never existed.

The former is due to the exhaustion of the temple deity's divine nature, causing it to fall into a deep slumber...

The Odd Temple collapses but does not completely vanish; according to Lu Tai Bai's speculation, it should have collapsed into the Mystical Tower.

The Mystical Tower still exists in reality but is sealed, as if to nurture the Odd Temple anew. It may reopen after a decade, several centuries, or even a millennium.

The Odd Temple within the tower will then sprout like spring bamboo.

The Divine Monkey's collapsing Odd Temple behind him is currently in this state.

However, this situation is extremely rare.

Lu Tai Bai is somewhat puzzled. Even if the Divine Monkey took away the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff, a Five Elders Upper Rank divine armament... how could it cause the entire Odd Temple to collapse into the Mystical Tower and fall into slumber?!

Taking away a divine armament...

Could it have drained all the divine nature of a Five Elders Upper Rank temple deity?!

Divine Monkey...

No, he's Xi Xi's father.

What exactly have you done? Lu Tai Bai takes a bold sip of milk tea, draining the cup, and his slender fingers lightly tap the table.

He has already guessed that the Divine Monkey is Li Che, and although he is surprised, he can accept it.

Initially, Lu Tai Bai suspected that Li Che was the Ox Demon or Ma Mian, and he was almost certain of it.

But now, it seems they are someone else.

Previously, he thought Ma Mian was Li Che because Ma Mian used those strange mechanisms that could strike from a distance, detonate, and unleash terrifying destructive power...

Although, for an Apex powerhouse, the power seemed somewhat inadequate.

But...

These are just mechanisms.

They don't require an overly strong strength to deploy, and if there are enough of them, the implications behind it are vastly different.

Now, Lu Tai Bai carefully thinks it through. Ma Mian only took out and used the mechanisms, which doesn't necessarily mean he created them.

Lu Tai Bai suddenly smiles.

Whether Li Che is the Divine Monkey, Ma Mian, or the Ox Demon...

It's not a big problem.

In fact...

If Li Che is indeed the Divine Monkey.

He might not care about his identity being exposed.

He already has the confidence to do so.

Moreover, there aren't many people who can guess that Li Che is the Divine Monkey.

Apart from Gongshu Jingjun, Tang Xiejia, and Ding Zi, the three elders of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, no one has witnessed the Divine Monkey carving this Divine Falcon.

Perhaps they thought it was Li Che who carved the Divine Monkey?

Lu Tai Bai's guess is based on his intuition as an Apex powerhouse and the momentary Dao insight, allowing him to make such a deduction.

Whether it's correct or not, Lu Tai Bai still needs to ask Gongshu Jingjun and the other two elders, and by the way... remind them to keep it a secret.

If Li Che's identity as the Netherworld Sacred Monkey is exposed, it will indeed cause some trouble.

After all, the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff holds too much significance, concerning the Divine Sect and the Great Jing Heavenly Armament Spectrum's top ten Three Pure Divine Armaments...

It will undoubtedly attract the attention of Apex powerhouses.

If Li Che, as Xi Xi's father, encounters any trouble, it will affect his precious disciple, the future young master of the Divine Sect.

Lu Tai Bai truly sees Xi Xi as his successor.

Apart from recognizing Xi Xi's talent, Lu Tai Bai also believes that among his personal disciples, only Xi Xi is normal and capable of succeeding him as the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's leader.

Therefore, he must cultivate Xi Xi well.

He can't let Xi Xi go astray, take the wrong path, or face premature setbacks...

So, protecting Xi Xi's family is also his duty as a teacher.

Sigh...

These days, finding a normal disciple isn't easy.

However, today's events will likely reveal Li Che's identity as the Divine Monkey soon.

Behind Huang Tuo is the Yellow Eyebrow Great Master, and behind Ji Mohong is the Heavenly Core Sect's leader. The Three Great Sects' leaders, Heaven Core, Mysterious Talisman, and Seven Treasures, are extraordinary.

As true top-tier Apex powerhouses, they have their judgments.

But how long can it be hidden...

Xi Xi's father has something up his sleeve.

Lu Tai Bai's fingers, which were tapping on the tea table, suddenly paused.

"A Martial Saint..."

Even if it seems superficial due to the rapid advancement, it is a Martial Saint who has obtained an opportunity and coincidentally broken through.

Nevertheless, it is a Martial Saint.

A Martial Saint can become the true pillar of a Divine Sect.

"Interesting..."

"This session of the Peach Blossom Banquet..."

The Mysterious Talisman Sect should be able to stand up now..."

Lu Tai Bai smiled.

Of course, there was an important reason for concealing Li Che's identity as the Divine Monkey.

It was because the Great Jing Empress was about to host the Peach Blossom Banquet in the Divine Capital, and Li Che and Xi Xi, father and daughter, were both going to attend.

At this critical juncture, it was naturally best to keep Li Che's identity hidden.

Moreover...

Li Che being the Divine Monkey could only be good news for the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.

"The Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff..."

"It has finally fallen into the hands of our Heavenly Origin Divine Sect."

Lu Tai Bai was in a great mood.

Looking at the Divine Monkey walking out step by step, his eyes were filled with admiration.

Lu Tai Bai smiled.

He made himself a cup of milk tea.

He took a sip.

"I wonder who the King of Hell in the Netherworld is... wearing a mask, it's not someone I know."

"I'd really like to have a chat."

...

...

Divine Monkey!!!

Netherworld Sacred Monkey!

The entire Shendiao Ling was in an uproar!

Xi Xi climbed out of the carriage, excitedly jumping up and down on the carriage shaft, clapping and cheering.

"It's the Divine Monkey Master!"

Xi Xi had, of course, seen the Divine Monkey before.

Among the Netherworld's many dangers, the Ox Demon, Ma Mian, and the Divine Monkey, Xi Xi had encountered them all. As for the Thunder Dragon, the Black and White Impermanence, she had not seen them, and as for the Supreme King of Hell, she had never seen him either.

The Ox Demon, Ma Mian, and the Divine Monkey had all taught Xi Xi many things.

The Ox Demon taught Xi Xi combat techniques...

It was strange that these three masters had taught Xi Xi so much.

The scientists and researchers were working hard to understand the causes of aging and find ways to slow or reverse it.

Unfortunately, these masters were all in their own fields, and Xi Xi had to learn from them individually.

These masters included stem cell research, gene therapy, nanotechnology, and drug development.

Currently, Xi Xi couldn't see them every day.

Now, the Odd Temple had obtained the Divine Armament, although it wasn't obtained by her father, but Xi Xi was still very happy.

Her father was still a little lacking, and when she returned, she would have to make him work hard on his cultivation.

However, Xi Xi's demands weren't high. After all, her father was just a small Grand Supervisor, and it was difficult for him to compete with so many Martial Saints and Divine Embryos.

Xi Xi jumped up and down, cheering.

She turned her head to look at Jin Tai Sui, whose body was tense, standing stiffly behind Xi Xi like a block of wood.

Jin Tai Sui clenched his thin lips, his face a little embarrassed. He was a young witch from Witch God Mountain, and although he was temporarily down on his luck...

He still had his principles!

Such a shameful thing!

"Little Jinzi, call out!"

Xi Xi put her hands on her waist, puffed out her little belly, and commanded.

Jin Tai Sui clenched his fists, "Divine Monkey, you are truly extraordinary!"

This was what Xi Xi had taught him to say.

It was shameful.

But Jin Tai Sui chose to obey.

Xi Xi didn't know where she had learned these shameful words.

Xi Xi smiled, this was the little song her father had taught her!

She had originally planned to celebrate with her father, but unfortunately, he wasn't up to it, so she would celebrate with the Divine Monkey Master instead!

Li Che, who had just walked out of the Odd Temple, wore the Divine Monkey mask, his golden monkey hair flying wildly on the mask.

With the mask on, his senses became extremely sharp, and even his Heaven-Human Resonance was greatly amplified.

Naturally, he heard Xi Xi's command to Jin Tai Sui.

This little girl...

At such a young age, she was quite domineering.

Pitter-patter—

The rain fell, but before it could land on Li Che, it was evaporated into mist by his powerful strength.

"The Netherworld has obtained the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff?!"

"It seems it's true..."

"Damn it, this is going to be difficult... This Netherworld, they are so unpredictable!"

...

Many forces' expressions changed slightly.

No one had expected that the Divine Monkey would suppress so many Martial Saints and Divine Embryos to obtain the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff.

Although the Two-Minded Great Saint Temple Deity was also just a monkey, but...

This wasn't a test of the Temple Deity's resonance.

It wasn't that anyone who wore a Divine Monkey mask could gain the staff's recognition.

If someone else had obtained the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff, given the staff's unique nature... After all, it was related to the Heaven-Striding Temple, and if the holder didn't have some background, it would be difficult to say if they could even leave Heavenly Origin Dao City alive.

And if someone from the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect obtained it...

That would definitely cause a huge uproar.

After all, the Great Jing Court wouldn't sit idly by and let the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect obtain the Heaven-Striding Temple's inheritance and rise to dominate the Six Realms and Twelve States...

So, if someone from the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect obtained this sacred pole, the impact would be enormous.

In fact, all parties had already made preparations and arrangements.

And now...

The Netherworld Sacred Monkey had obtained the Divine Armament.

The Netherworld, a force outside of Heavenly Origin Dao City, was a name that sounded extremely unfamiliar.

On the Buddha's Chariot.

Huang Tuo, the Divine Falcon Demi-Saint, stared intently at the relaxed, carefree Divine Monkey, carrying the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff, walking out so arrogantly.

On the middle-aged monk's face, a trace of fanaticism appeared.

"This benefactor..."

"You have a connection with the Buddha!"

"The Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff is originally a treasure of the Buddha's Gate. You have gained the staff's recognition, so you must have a great connection with the Buddha!"

"If you take refuge in the Buddha, you will surely be able to attain the position of a true Buddha, just like the Two-Minded Great Saint!"

Huang Tuo's robes fluttered in the wind, his palms pressed together.

His face seemed peaceful and transcendent.

Under the Divine Monkey mask, Li Che's eyes fell on Huang Tuo.

He tilted his head.

"How many people in this city have a connection with your Buddha's Gate?"

The Divine Monkey's voice was a bit playful, a bit soaring and carefree.

Hearing the Divine Monkey's question,

Huang Tuo's eyes lit up, and he looked at the Divine Monkey with surprise.

Could it be that the Divine Monkey was moved?

Was he influenced by the Two-Minded Great Saint's divine nature and had a tendency towards Buddhism? If he could convert the Divine Monkey and also obtain the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff...

Then Huang Tuo's mission on this trip would be perfectly and exceptionally completed.

"Amitabha..."

"This question from the Divine Monkey benefactor, I indeed have a few people with a connection..."

"For example, Li Che, this Divine Falcon Demi-Saint, and Li Che's daughter, Li Nuan Xi, the benefactor..."

Huang Tuo smiled with kind and benevolent eyes.

The Divine Monkey slowly raised his chin, and in his eyes, golden light blazed like a burning flame.

Underneath the broken mask, the corner of the mouth that was raised in a curve, the more it stretched, the wider the curve became.

Dare to...

Set their sights on my daughter, Li Che's daughter?! Li Che never imagined...

Xi Xi has become a disciple of Lu Tai Bai, and this bald donkey dares to set his eyes on his daughter!

However, thinking about the power behind Huang Tuo, it's not surprising.

Xiaolingyin Temple is located in Xiling Dao, in the land of the self-proclaimed Buddhist country.

Among the eleven major sects in Dajing, it is ranked in the top three, even higher than the ranking of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.

Its overall strength is indeed far superior to the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.

Although the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect has Lu Tai Bai, Xiaolingyin Temple also has top-tier supreme-level grandmasters, and not just one!

Xiaolingyin Temple occupies Xiling Dao, neighboring the Western Regions.

Xiaolingyin Temple occupies Xiling Dao, neighboring the Western Regions.

Lu Tai Bai sits in the carriage, his silver hair blowing wildly, as the curtain is ravaged by sword energy.

"Is my disciple, Xi Xi, related to your Buddhist sect?"

"You dare to speak such words..."

"Even if your master, Huang Mei, were here, he wouldn't dare say such things, yet you dare to?"

"You are... truly brave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tai Bai raised his hand.

Instantly, a silver light shot out from his sleeve.

Before Huang Tuo could react, a cloud of blood exploded behind him, and his entire body flew out of the luxurious Buddhist chariot, landing in the snow, creating a massive pit.

But in the pit...

Huang Tuo was on the brink of death.

In his hand, he trembled as he held up a divine crane statue, carved from a Four Great Sacred Weapons-ranked spirit wood, depicting a smiling monk with long, narrow eyebrows.

Divine light radiated from the statue, forming a giant bell-shaped aura around Huang Tuo.

"Huang Mei," Lu Tai Bai said indifferently.

Huang Tuo coughed up mouthfuls of blood, his eyes filled with horror.

Too strong...

Is this the power of a dual supreme-level powerhouse ranked in both the Great Deity Spectrum and the Heavenly Gate Pass?

Although those who have stepped into the fourth opening of the Saint realm and the fourth divine transformation of the Divine Embryo can be called supreme powerhouses, the gap between ordinary supreme powerhouses and top-tier dual supreme-level powerhouses like Lu Tai Bai is truly terrifying.

"Great White Sect Master, my disciple has made a mistake. I, a poor monk, apologize to you," the divine crane statue seemed to come to life, its long eyebrows fluttering, palms pressed together in a bow.

"Xi Xi, get into the carriage," Lu Tai Bai chuckled.

"Coming, Master!" Xi Xi hurriedly climbed into the carriage, followed by Jin Tai Sui.

"Th-thank you, Great White Sect Master, for sparing my life..." Huang Tuo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his heart still pounding.

He hadn't planned to take out the Saint Hand Divine Crane statue of the Grand Mage Huang Mei so soon, but he had no choice...

Lu Tai Bai, the Great White Killing Star, was too ruthless! He was really going to kill him because of a single sentence.

If it weren't for the Grand Mage's divine crane statue blocking that sword, he would be dead by now.

"Hehe..." Lu Tai Bai merely smiled faintly.

His smile made Huang Tuo's hair stand on end.

In the distance, the monkey with the Divine Rod on his shoulder continued Lu Tai Bai's laughter.

"Do you know... that besides being a direct disciple of the Great White Sect Master, your mentioned Li Nuan Xi has another identity?"

"Many in the Heavenly Origin Dao City call Li Nuan Xi the daughter of the Netherworld."

"You fear the Great White Sect Master, but you don't fear me... the King of Hell?"

The monkey lifted the Sacred Pole again, his golden eyes glinting beneath the mask, gazing at Huang Tuo.

"Brave one, you are injured."

As soon as he finished speaking, the monkey burst into laughter.

The laughter echoed through the slowly collapsing Odd Temple.

"Not good! He's going to escape!" The various powerhouses watching the commotion narrowed their eyes.

Xuan Yin of the Mysterious Talisman Sect held a handful of divine talismans, but before he could scatter them...

They saw the monkey lightly touch his toes to the snow.

Instantly, the snow exploded, and a cloud of crimson mist rose beneath his feet.

Like...

A somersault!

With a flip, he vanished into the air, right before everyone's eyes, along with the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff!

At that moment, Huang Tuo, coughing up blood in the pit, held the Saint Hand Divine Crane statue, its long eyebrows fluttering, staring in the direction where the monkey had disappeared with a somersault.

"Qitian..."

"Qitian?!"

...

...

Heavenly Origin Dao City.

Thunder Alley.

Independent Workshop Courtyard.

In the sky, the thunder hadn't dissipated yet, and electric snakes slithered through the lead clouds. The wind and thunder raged, bringing down torrential rain.

This was a heavenly phenomenon that enveloped the entire Divine Crane Ridge, even including the Heavenly Origin Dao City.

It seemed to be caused by the collapse of the Enigmatic Tower of the Two-Hearted Great Sage.

In the silent courtyard, the rain instantly evaporated.

Then, a red cloud appeared, scorching hot, with waves of heat rising.

Li Che, wearing the Divine Monkey mask, his ink-black robe fluttering, returned to the courtyard.

He sat cross-legged, and as he touched his brow...

Instantly, the Heaven Earth Chessboard spun into the courtyard's sky, covering it, concealing the aura and isolating the heavenly secrets.

"Huff—"

"Suck—"

With a single breath and inhalation, violent air currents ravaged the courtyard.
