Chapter 311: Xi Xi's Training of the Dragonettes, Elder Li, You Don't Want Your Daughter to Enter the Buddha's Gate, Right?

In the quiet snow, falling from the leaden clouds high above, the flakes drifted downward.

They landed on the black tiles and the courtyard, turning the eaves into a white, hazy color. As they continued to pile up, they fell in a rustling shower.

At the Heavenly Origin Dao City.

Listening to Thunder Lane.

In the secluded workshop's courtyard.

The silence was absolute, only broken by the sound of falling snow.

Li Che's eyes opened slightly, and golden smoke, like the scent of agarwood, flowed from them, shining with a brilliant light.

With a single strike, Shattering the Southern Sky!

The pure Spirit Transformation True Martial!

Feeling the messages constantly being fed back from his mind, Li Che's eyes brightened.

Spirit Transformation True Martial could be understood as the pinnacle of Divine Seed Martial Arts, and this Divine Seed Martial Art had been cultivated to the level of the Spirit Transformation realm.

Only the Spirit Transformation realm of Divine Seed Martial Arts could be called Spirit Transformation True Martial!

Or, in other words...

The prefix 'Spirit Transformation' could be dropped, leaving simply the 'True Martial'!

While it had a certain level of mastery, once entered, it was comparable to the Spirit Transformation realm of Divine Seed Martial Arts!

Therefore, without a doubt, the difficulty of cultivating True Martial was clearly greater than that of Divine Seed Martial Arts.

"Even more difficult than Divine Seed Martial Arts..."

Li Che took a deep breath.

It was well known that the difficulty of Divine Seed Martial Arts was already formidable. Up until now, Li Che had yet to master any Divine Seed Martial Art to the Spirit Transformation realm, which spoke to the challenge of cultivating True Martial.

"Moreover... it's clear that this True Martial is not the only one. Initially, I thought the remaining two pieces of the Heaven-Crossing Face would be found at the Willful Sect and the Heavenly Pole Tower, but now it seems... not as I had thought."

After receiving the detailed information about Shattering the Southern Sky, Li Che began to ponder.

"Perhaps..."

"That third piece of the Heaven-Crossing Face is located within the Sky Capital?"

Li Che's eyes flashed.

Looking at the serene Divine Rod, its light shone, and golden rays, like the gentle sunlight on a winter day, were smooth and silky.

Raising his hand, a mournful sound rang out, and the Divine Rod transformed into a stream of light, drilling into Li Che's right hand.

It seemed to perfectly fuse with his arm bone.

Before his eyes, the light flickered.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV5, 75%)]



After breaking through to the Saint realm, the maturity of the Dao Fruit increased, but there was no enlightenment feedback.

However, after intercepting and killing Su Leibao on the road outside the city, he gained a 5% increase in Dao Fruit maturity.

This 5% increase had the power of enlightenment.

"Can this 5% enlightenment feedback help me master this... True Martial in one go?"

After a moment of thought, Li Che shook his head.

This True Martial martial art was different from ordinary Divine Seed Martial Arts; there was no entry, small success, great success, or master realm...

Only the Spirit Transformation realm and above...

So, 5% enlightenment feedback was far from enough.

In the end, Li Che gave up on the idea of investing this 5% enlightenment feedback into mastering True Martial.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, streams of light gathered before him.

[Dao Fruit: Divine Artificer (LV5, 40%)]



The maturity of the Divine Artificer Dao Fruit increased significantly, perhaps because during the final test of the Sacred Armament's recognition, he directly carved the Two-Hearted Great Sage Divine Crane out of ordinary wood, which greatly improved his Divine Crane technique in that unique environment.

However, compared to the Dragon Elephant Vajra's progress, which was about to reach LV6, the improvement in the Divine Artificer Dao Fruit was still somewhat lacking.

Shaking his head, he continued to scan the Dao Fruits.

[Dao Fruit: Immaculate Heart (LV5, 30%)], [Dao Fruit: Chess Saint (LV5, 20%)], [Dao Fruit: Painting Immortal (LV4, 60%)]



The maturity of these three Dao Fruits had all increased to varying degrees.

The Immaculate Heart and Chess Saint Dao Fruits were purely due to the feedback and enhancement of his divine nature after the Two-Hearted Great Sage's recognition of the Divine Rod and the return of the Heaven-Crossing Face's remaining piece by the Temple Deity. Although most of the Two-Hearted Great Sage's divine nature had been consumed by the Buddha's Empty Eye, a small portion of it had condensed into the divine nature of the Temple Deity's chess piece.

There were a total of ten of them, falling into the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, bathed in the Buddha's light.

As for the Painting Immortal Dao Fruit, its increase was purely due to the test of the real and fake Li Che, which greatly improved it.

Hiding the Dao Fruit information, Li Che couldn't help but smile.

He felt great, not only because he had obtained a Sacred Armament but also because numerous Dao Fruits had improved across the board.

And now, he had gained a rare Spirit Transformation True Martial! Li Che's mood was naturally elated.

Standing up from his cross-legged position, he stretched his arms, and his muscles and bones crackled loudly.

Hummm—

Powerful air currents raged like a wild dance, whipping the air with a deafening boom.

The Heaven-Earth Chessboard enveloped everything.

Humm—

With a muffled boom, Li Che's body instantly swelled, layer upon layer, with bulging muscles and transparent skin. His blood roared in his veins, causing the temperature in the courtyard to soar! His dark, robust hair fluttered wildly, his eyes opened and closed, and the golden smoke dissipated.

When Xi Xi grows up, she'll protect you! Xi Xi will become strong and protect Daddy!\"\n\nXi Xi put her hands on her hips, revealing a brilliant and cute smile.\n\nBehind her, Jin Tai Sui remained silent.\n\nHowever, Xi Xi turned and glared at him.\n\nJin Tai Sui was so ashamed his face seemed to scrunch up.\n\nHe imitated Xi Xi's pose, putting his hands on his hips and showing off his six-pack abs.\n\n\"Old grandpa! Don't be discouraged! When Xi Xi becomes a great emperor, she'll protect you!\"\n\nXi Xi nodded in satisfaction at his words.\n\n\"Daddy, look, we all support you!\" Xi Xi patted her little belly and comforted with a raised head.\n\nLi Che couldn't help but laugh.

\n\n\"Not bad.\"

She knew that today Li Che was going to Shendiao Ling to participate in the owner recognition trial of the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff, an event that had stirred up the entire Heavenly Origin Dao City.

Snowflakes fell softly, piling up thickly in the courtyard, bringing a biting chill.

Under the eaves, a series of icicles hung down.

Grandma Mu was holding a cane, continuously breaking these upside-down icicles.

Seeing Li Che return, Grandma Mu immediately showed a warm and kind smile.

"Back already?"

Li Che smiled in response.

Li Qingshan wasn't in the courtyard, clearly off doing something important.

"Darling!" Zhang Ya's eyes lit up when she saw Li Che return. Ignoring her sweat, she ran over.

"Darling, don't lose heart. It's just one failure, and you're already a Divine Sculpture Master. Even without a Divine Armament, it doesn't matter, right?"

Zhang Ya had heard that Li Che didn't obtain the Divine Armament and knew that it had been claimed by the Netherworld Sacred Monkey. Worried that Li Che might be disheartened, she hurried to comfort him.

Looking at his charming wife, Li Che raised his hand and gently rubbed Zhang Ya's head.

Then, he leaned close to Zhang Ya's ear, his warm breath touching her delicate earlobe as he whispered softly.

"Wife, let me tell you a little secret..."

Li Che's warm breath made Zhang Ya's white, sweat-drenched neck bristle with goosebumps.

"Da... Darling..."

Zhang Ya's face turned red, as if a blush was spreading from deep within her body, reaching up to her neck.

"What... little secret?"

Li Che's lips curved into a teasing smile.

"The Divine Armament from the Two-Minded Great Saint Odd Temple... was claimed by the Sacred Monkey."

"Sacred Monkey..."

"Is also your husband."

Zhang Ya's face flushed red, her legs tightening as she felt a wave of heat spreading through her body, making her feel restless.

Having already reached the Sixth Blood Transformation, she was in the prime of her vitality and couldn't withstand Li Che's teasing.

"Mm, ah..."

Zhang Ya's voice hummed like a bee.

But soon, Zhang Ya seemed to come to her senses and heard the meaning in Li Che's words.

Her big eyes widened in disbelief.

"What?!"

What did her husband just say?!

Zhang Ya felt her mind buzzing.

The Netherworld Ox Demon, who could grow large or small, was her husband...

And the Netherworld Sacred Monkey, who obtained the Divine Rod that could extend or retract, was also her husband?!

"Wow?!"

Zhang Ya's eyes widened, her red lips pouting.

So, her husband... didn't need her comfort at all?!

"Ha ha ha!"

Li Che, seeing Zhang Ya's surprised expression, felt very satisfied. He raised his hand and ruffled her hair.

He then picked up his charming wife, who was blushing and protesting, and carried her into the room.

Accompanied by Zhang Ya's protests and Li Che's laughter, Grandma Mu, who was cracking an icicle under the eaves, smiled warmly.

Young people, they love to play.

...

...

After instructing his wife Zhang Ya on the essence of blood transformation with his Martial Saint's body, Li Che quietly closed the door, allowing his wife, who was like a puddle of mud, to have a good rest. With the essence of a Martial Saint and the nourishment of a Pure Heart Primordial Spirit, her physique was gradually becoming stronger.

After saying a word to Grandma Mu, who was sitting in a rocking chair with a wool blanket on her lap, Li Che left the Elder's Courtyard.

Nie Yang and Li Chengzhou, who were sitting under the eaves and chatting with Grandma Mu while holding swords, stood up simultaneously.

"To Mount Taibai."

Li Che smiled.

Nie Yang nodded, and Li Che got into the carriage. The wheels crushed the snow, leaving two tracks as it headed toward Mount Taibai.

Mount Taibai.

Sword light shimmered, tearing through the many snowflakes that were falling.

Xia Xi, who had just returned to Mount Taibai, immediately began practicing her sword. The fiery Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword was held in her hand, its light flowing and raging around her.

It was as if a bright white lotus was blooming around her, and her baby fat cheeks trembled slightly with the dance of the sword.

The carriage stopped, and Nie Yang, who was sitting on the carriage, looked at Xia Xi in amazement, not expecting her swordsmanship to have reached such a level.

Li Chengzhou, who was watching in a daze, took a deep breath and exhaled, feeling a bit dejected.

Indeed, a genius is a genius, and their cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary people.

Xia Xi had not practiced the sword before, but after following the Grandmaster of Mount Taibai for a while, her swordsmanship had already surpassed Li Chengzhou's.

"There's no need to compare. Competing with such a genius in cultivation speed will only intensify your inner struggle. What you need to do... is to focus on your own cultivation."

Nie Yang advised, "I've applied to the Grandmaster, and you can also go to the Divine Capital for the [Peach Blossom Banquet] to broaden your horizons."

"At the Young Dragon Gathering... you can also participate, which will be good practical experience for you."

Hearing this, Li Chengzhou's body immediately tensed.

"I will work hard, Master!"

"Practice well, and don't waste your youth."

Nie Yang looked at Li Chengzhou, and his usually stern face suddenly broke into a bright smile, giving a thumbs up.

In the carriage, Li Che watched the passionate interaction between master and apprentice, feeling quite moved.

Li Chengzhou indeed didn't have the best cultivation talent, but he had some talent in swordsmanship, somewhat similar to Nie Yang.

Nie Yang saw a lot of himself in Li Chengzhou and wanted to cultivate a second self.

"Daddy!"

Xia Xi saw Li Che and was pleasantly surprised.

After a brief chat with Li Che,

Xia Xi continued her practice, working hard to achieve her great goal of "becoming strong to protect Daddy."

Li Che arrived at the Tai Bai Palace.

Inside the palace, incense burned on the censer, emitting a unique fragrance as the smoke curled upwards.

Lu Tai Bai, dressed in a white robe, with silver hair and eyebrows, sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, with a towering statue of the founding ancestor behind him.

Just then, Gongshu Jingjun, Tang Xiejia, and Ding Zi, the three elders, emerged from the palace. Upon seeing Li Che, their faces lit up with even brighter smiles.

They had all guessed Li Che's identity, so now they treated him not just as a Divine Falcon Demi-Saint, but with equal respect, for the Divine Monkey was a Martial Saint!

Li Che didn't mind their knowledge; whether he was exposed or not, he now had the confidence to face it.

Not only was he a Divine Falcon Demi-Saint of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, but even if his identity as one of the Netherworld's many evils was revealed, it wasn't something ordinary people would dare to covet or act against.

Li Che entered the spacious Tai Bai Peak.

The moment he stepped inside, the world seemed to fall silent.

As Lu Tai Bai opened his eyes, the palace seemed to be completely cut off from the outside world.

Li Che's heart skipped a beat, sensing a subtle difference.

Was it...

Dao Essence? A small pocket realm?

It felt a bit lacking...

It seemed that Lu Tai Bai had already begun to touch upon the Dao Essence.

"Elder Li, please come in and take a seat." Lu Tai Bai smiled faintly.

Li Che didn't stand on ceremony; he found a meditation cushion, sat cross-legged, and faced Lu Tai Bai in the grand hall.

"I've already instructed Jingjun, Xiejia, and A Zi to keep your identity a secret. They've sworn a divine oath not to expose you." Lu Tai Bai got straight to the point.

This was like openly telling Li Che that he knew about his Divine Monkey identity.

Li Che wasn't surprised.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

"You don't need to thank me. It's the right thing to do..."

"In this day and age, who doesn't have a few secrets? Just like me, I'm also a Hunter King assassin of the Hunting God Pavilion." Lu Tai Bai smiled lightly, unconcerned.

"However, the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff is of great importance. You've obtained this divine staff, and you should have felt it too... This staff is the treasure soul of the seventh-ranked Three Pure Divine Armament in the Great Jing Heavenly Armament Spectrum, the Mindful Golden Ringed Staff of the Sky."

Li Che nodded, not hiding the fact that top-tier experts should know some secrets.

"In fact, this staff... I can't obtain it, Ji Mohong can't obtain it, and even Huangmei from Xiaolingyin Temple can't obtain it... That's why they didn't come in person."

"Huangmei sent a Saintly Hand Divine Sculpture, and Buddha has the Three Lives Body. This Saintly Hand Divine Sculpture possesses the divine nature of one of Huangmei's lives, so there's no difference from Huangmei coming in person."

"That's also the main reason why I didn't directly kill Huang Tuo at Shendiao Ling, who wanted to guide you and Xi Xi into the Buddhist path."

Lu Tai Bai explained.

"Buddha's Three Lives Body?!" Li Che was surprised.

"That's one of Xiaolingyin Temple's three top-secret techniques..." Lu Tai Bai briefly introduced it.

"Using three Four Great Middle Rank spirit woods to carve a divine sculpture as a carrier for the Three Lives Body, creating three incarnations. Each incarnation has combat power no weaker than the main body. Moreover, if the Three Lives Body isn't destroyed simultaneously, as long as a spirit wood is used to carve a divine sculpture, a destroyed life can be restored, making it virtually immortal and invincible..."

Lu Tai Bai spoke in a deep voice, "Xiaolingyin Temple is ranked second among the eleven Dao Sects in the Great Jing."

Li Che was shocked to hear that Xiaolingyin Temple was ranked so high among the many divine sects.

"The eleven Dao Sects of the Great Jing..."

"Lingnan Dao's Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, Longyuan Dao's Seven Treasures Sect, Qingyun Dao's Mysterious Talisman Sect, Guangling Dao's Heavenly Core Sect, Xiling Dao's Xiaolingyin Temple, Jiangnan Dao's Haoran Academy, Jiandao's Bashu Sword Pavilion, Shendao's Dragon-Tiger Divine Sect, Tongyou Dao's True Martial Divine Sect..."

Lu Tai Bai's silver hair fluttered as he sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, his voice somewhat ethereal, introducing the various divine sects to Li Che.

"But aren't there only nine sects here?" Li Che asked curiously.

"There are two more, but they're special. The Southern Sea Dao and the Celestial Master Dao. The Southern Sea's Purple Bamboo Grove and the Celestial Master's Purple Mansion are both uninvolved in worldly affairs, basically at the bottom of the divine sects. But no one knows their true depth."

"The Celestial Master's Purple Mansion is similar to the Southern Sea's Purple Bamboo Grove, but... the Celestial Master's Purple Mansion is ranked first among the eleven Dao Sects!"

"Because every time at the Great Jing Peach Blossom Banquet, the disciples sent by the Purple Mansion sweep the top ranks."

"They don't engage in worldly affairs because there's no need to compete for the unshakable first place."

Li Che took a deep breath, his heart slightly moved.

One was at the end of the divine sects, and one was at the top.

But according to Lu Tai Bai, neither could be underestimated.

"You'll encounter these divine sects when you go to the Divine Capital and participate in the Peach Blossom Banquet."

"Now, let's talk about serious matters."

Lu Tai Bai's silver eyes sparkled with countless faint lights.

"Please speak, Sect Master..." Li Che's heart was filled with curiosity.

Lu Tai Bai took out a silver mask from his bosom and covered his face, transforming his entire body into a flowing silver color.

"Outside Shendiao Ling, Huang Tuo from Xiaolingyin Temple said he wanted to guide you and Xi Xi into the Buddhist path."

Lu Tai Bai stared at Li Che, his silver eyes shimmering.

"Elder Li..."
