Chapter 311: Xi Xi the Great Emperor's Training with the Young Dragons, Elder Li, You Don't Want You
Chapter 311: Xi Xi the Great Emperor's Training with the Young Dragons, Elder Li, You Don't Want Your Daughter to Enter the Buddhist Path, Right? (Part 1)
The silent snow fell from the leaden clouds high above, drifting downwards.
It landed on the black tiles and the courtyard, covering the eaves in a white haze. As it continued to accumulate, it began to fall in a rustling shower.
Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Thunder Listening Lane.
Inside the Independent Workshop's courtyard.
The atmosphere was serene, only disturbed by the sound of falling snow.
Li Che's eyes opened slightly, emitting a golden smoke like agarwood, and a brilliant light shone from them.
With a staff, Shatter Southern Heaven!
A pure Transformation Divine Martial!
He could feel the information constantly being fed back into his mind.
Li Che's eyes brightened slightly.
Transformation Divine Martial could be understood as a top-tier Divine Seed Martial Art, and this Divine Seed Martial Art had been cultivated to the level of the Transformation realm.
Only a Divine Seed Martial Art cultivated to the Transformation realm could be called Transformation Divine Martial!
And this martial art was obtained from the mask of Heaven-Crossing.
It was the purest Transformation Divine Martial, or perhaps...
The prefix 'Transformation' could be removed, and it would simply be called True Martial!
When cultivating, there is a certain level of proficiency, but once you enter, it is comparable to a Divine Seed Martial Art cultivated to the Transformation realm!
Therefore, there was no doubt that the difficulty of cultivating True Martial was significantly 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 Divine Seed Martial Arts were already challenging, and so far, Li Che had not mastered any Divine Seed Martial Art to the Transformation realm. This fact alone demonstrated the difficulty of Transformation Divine Martial.
"Moreover... it's clear that this Transformation Divine Martial is not the only one. Initially, the Chaos Heaven-Crossing Staff was the foundation for mastering these True Martial techniques."
"And since I have mastered the ultimate Chaos Heaven-Crossing Staff, it also helps me understand these True Martial techniques."
"Shatter Southern Heaven, Flipping Immortal Cauldron, Traverse Celestial Heights!"
Three names appeared in Li Che's mind.
In addition to the recently acquired True Martial technique, Shatter Southern Heaven, two more names of True Martial techniques, Flipping Immortal Cauldron and Traverse Celestial Heights, appeared in his mind.
Unfortunately, the True Martial techniques Flipping Immortal Cauldron and Traverse Celestial Heights only had names, without any specific cultivation methods.
Li Che felt a bit disappointed, mainly because the Heaven-Crossing Face was still incomplete.
"Originally, I thought that the remaining two pieces of the Heaven-Crossing Face would be found in the Willful Sect and the Heavenly Pole Tower, but now it seems... it's not as I thought."
After receiving the detailed information about Shatter Southern Heaven, Li Che began to ponder.
"Perhaps..."
"The third piece of the Heaven-Crossing Face is located within Heaven-Crossing City?"
Li Che's eyes sparkled.
He looked at the Willful Iron Divine Pole firmly planted in the ground.
The Divine Pole shone with flowing light, its golden glow resembling the gentle sunlight of winter, smooth and silky.
As he raised his hand, the Divine Pole transformed into a stream of light and entered Li Che's right hand.
It seemed to perfectly fuse with his arm bones.
Before his eyes, the flowing light flickered.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV5, 75%)]
After breaking through to the Martial Saint realm, the maturity of the obtained Dao Fruit increased, but there was no sudden realization.
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 possessed the power of sudden realization.
"Can this 5% sudden realization help me master this True Martial technique in one go?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Che shook his head.
This True Martial technique was different from ordinary Divine Seed Martial Arts. There were no levels of entry, small success, great success, or master level...
There was only the Transformation realm and above...
Therefore, a 5% sudden realization was far from enough.
In the end, Li Che gave up on the idea of investing this 5% sudden realization into mastering this True Martial technique.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, the flowing light before his eyes gathered.
[Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (LV5, 40%)]
The maturity of the Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit had increased significantly. Perhaps it was because during the final test of the Divine Armament's recognition, he had directly carved the Two-Minded Bodhisattva Divine Carving from ordinary wood, which greatly improved his Divine Carving skills in that special environment.
However, compared to the progress of Dragon Elephant Vajra, which was about to reach LV6, the improvement of the Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit was still less significant.
Shaking his head, he continued to scan with his eyes.
[Dao Fruit: Impureless Heart (LV5, 30%)], [Dao Fruit: Chess Sage (LV5, 20%)], [Dao Fruit: Immortal in Painting (LV4, 60%)]
The maturity of these three Dao Fruits had increased to varying degrees.
The maturity of the Impureless Heart and Chess Sage Dao Fruits had increased purely because of the recognition of the Willful Iron Divine Pole and the gift of the Heaven-Crossing Face fragment by the Two-Minded Temple God.
There were a total of ten pieces, which fell into the Heavenly Earth Chessboard, bathed in the light of Buddha...
As for the Immortal in Painting Dao Fruit, its maturity had increased significantly due to the recent test of the real and fake Li Che.
Hiding the Dao Fruit information, Li Che couldn't help but smile.
He felt great.
Not only had he obtained a Divine Armament, but he had also achieved all-around improvement in various Dao Fruits.
He had also acquired a rare Transformation Divine Martial technique, which made Li Che feel extremely delighted.
Standing up from the cross-legged position, he stretched his arms, and his whole body's tendons and bones crackled loudly.
A powerful stream of air seemed to rage and fly wildly, like a whip striking the air and producing deep, muffled explosions.
The Heavenly Earth Chessboard opened up, covering everything.
A deep rumble sounded, and Li Che's body instantly swelled, growing larger and larger, with muscles like tubers and transparent skin. His veins bulged with blood, and the temperature in the courtyard rapidly rose.
His thick, black hair flew wildly, his eyes opened and closed, and golden smoke drifted from them.
Li Che unleashed the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, his five fingers clenched, and the Willful Iron Divine Pole seemed to be enveloped in a golden haze, swirling around Li Che's hand, gradually taking shape!
With a single hand gripping the treasure staff, he forcefully tapped it, creating a deafening blast of energy waves that shook the entire courtyard!
Li Che's body grew to an imposing height of two and a half meters, and his entire being was shrouded in blood-red smoke, his flesh like translucent jade, and his muscles like pure gold.
Layer upon layer of rippling energy waves caused the air to wrinkle.
The Martial Saint's Primordial Energy manifested like a dragon elephant, merging with the vast staff shadow, as Li Che gripped the treasure staff and began cultivating Shatter Southern Heaven.
This Transformation Divine Martial technique was extremely challenging, but Li Che had previously cultivated the Chaos Heaven-Crossing Staff, making it easier to advance to Shatter Southern Heaven.
Boom!!!
Within the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, Li Che harnessed the immense power, causing it to burst forth from the Dao Fruit, stimulating the Willful Iron Divine Pole.
In an instant...
It was as if countless staff shadows began to vibrate and hum simultaneously, like rolling heavenly thunder! The purest divine weapon essence surged from the Willful Iron Divine Pole, rushing into his limbs and bones, tempering Li Che's already formidable physique!
Weapon Fusion Body Tempering!
Li Che's mastery of the Willful Iron Divine Pole was even greater than his control over the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Sword.
Therefore, the effect of Weapon Fusion Body Tempering was even slightly better than that of the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Sword.
However, the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Sword was, after all, a Four Sovereigns upper-tier divine weapon, and compared to the Willful Iron Divine Pole, which was just one of the treasure souls, it had much more potential!
Li Che's eyes gleamed as he felt the divine weapon essence spreading to every inch of his flesh and blood, and in his chest, the Dao Fruit throbbed and rumbled! Li Che's five fingers suddenly spread open, and the blood within his body, like a molten treasure pearl, surged and circulated, scorching the drifting snow within a radius of several dozen zhang around the small courtyard!
At the Martial Saint Realm, the physical body becomes even more robust, making progress more challenging than before.
It could be said that every step was a struggle, as every aspect, from the skin to the muscles and meridians, had already been tempered to a level beyond the ordinary.
Li Che had truly transcended the mortal realm, and now, a single drop of his blood was even more powerful and extraordinary than some spiritual medicines.
However, with the divine weapon essence's cleansing transformation, his strength slowly increased.
His fingers clenched, and the treasure staff trembled.
With a fierce sweep, the sky shook, and the snow evaporated completely.
Li Che gripped the Willful Iron Divine Pole, his eyes glimmering, and with a thought, his blood-red aura rose.
Divine Ability, Blood Qi Aura.
This was one of the divine abilities gained after transcending the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.
By connecting one's blood Qi with a divine weapon, it was possible to enhance the weapon's quality and even compensate for its shortcomings.
Li Che was curious to see if he could improve the Willful Iron Divine Pole, already a Five Ancients upper-tier divine weapon, to the Four Sovereigns tier through Blood Qi Aura.
Boom!!!
The sky trembled, and the airflow exploded!
As the treasure staff vibrated, it was as if countless dense staff shadows crisscrossed and exploded! On the Iron Divine Pole, a fine pattern of blood-red aura appeared, as if the Blood Qi Aura had reflected upon it.
Li Che felt that the connection between himself and the Willful Iron Divine Pole had become even tighter.
"Unfortunately... it didn't reach the Four Sovereigns tier."
Li Che sighed.
However, upon reflection, he understood that the Willful Iron Divine Pole was one of the treasure souls of the Golden Hoop Staff, and it was not a complete treasure soul, nor was the treasure body it had condensed merely a wandering essence of heaven and earth.
The biggest flaw lay in its material.
While Blood Qi Aura could compensate for the divine weapon's inherent flaws, the material's shortcomings were precisely what Blood Qi Aura struggled to rectify.
So, although the quality of the divine rod improved, it wasn't a significant enhancement.
Li Che continued to cultivate the Chaos Heaven-Crossing Staff in the courtyard for a while.
Based on the Chaos Heaven-Crossing Staff, he slowly progressed towards the True Martial Shatter Southern Heaven.
...
The Willful Iron Divine Pole was taken by the Netherworld Monkey! This news spread like a storm, quickly reverberating throughout the entire Heavenly Origin Dao City.
All factions were shaken by this development.
No one had expected that the Netherworld, hidden in the shadows, would make a move and successfully obtain the Willful Iron Divine Pole.
At the Heaven-Qi Supervision, in the Eight-Cornered Overhanging Spout Treasure Tower, the Supervisor Hong Shiffo rarely took a break from playing chess. He stood between the tower's pavilions, gazing at the snow-filled sky, his brows furrowed.
"I never imagined... that the Netherworld would acquire this divine weapon."
"The Supervisor's words shook the world, and whoever obtains this divine rod can enter the Heaven-Crossing City and have a chance to acquire the Three Pure Ones Divine Armament..."
"Therefore, too many are eyeing this Willful Iron Divine Pole."
"Even Little Ling Yin Temple and Ji Mali have sent people..."
Hong Shiffo's brows furrowed.
Whoever obtained it would cause a huge stir, but the result... was the Netherworld's success.
The Netherworld's various evil beings were too mysterious, and their whereabouts were impossible to trace! Therefore, the Netherworld wasn't afraid of being targeted by major factions.
And these major factions couldn't keep an eye on the Netherworld either!
"The Netherworld... what a Netherworld..."
"They intercepted the Su Family on the road, ruining the Dao Lord Yue Huanglong's plans, and now they've obtained a divine weapon in the Erxin Great Sage's Strange Shrine..."
"They are truly an incomprehensible force."
Hong Shiffo recalled the Netherworld King Yama he had confronted that day.
The terrifying Blood Qi, with just a casual move, shattered the physical constraints of the Five Divine Seeds, a feat achievable only by a pinnacle warrior.
Hong Shi Buddha rubbed his temples.
"Huang Tuo has revealed his trump card, but what about Ji Mali?"
"Ji Mali... must be extremely eager for that Divine Rod. His plans are deeply connected to it."
"Neither of them will back down."
Ji Mali's dispatch of Ji Lifu was no longer a secret.
Lu Tai Bai knew, Feng Zhi Qi knew... essentially, all top-tier powerful individuals in Heavenly Origin Dao City were aware.
However, no one knew what hidden card Ji Mali had up his sleeve regarding Ji Lifu.
Lu Tai Bai was likely wary of this as well.
...
Dao Master's Residence
Yue Huanglong sat in the Leisure Pavilion, surrounded by thick snow on the dark-tiled roof.
Yue Wei Zheng approached, his face somewhat unsightly.
"Father."
Upon reaching Yue Huanglong, Yue Wei Zheng bowed deeply.
"Son... I've disappointed you."
Yue Wei Zheng looked uncomfortable.
Yue Huanglong sipped hot tea, his expression unchanged.
"No matter, I didn't have high hopes to begin with."
Yue Wei Zheng's face stiffened, feeling a bit helpless but understanding the truth. Yet, he sensed a hint of anger in Yue Huanglong's demeanor.
After hearing Yue Wei Zheng's report on the situation at the Two Hearts Great Sage's mysterious temple:
Yue Huanglong narrowed his eyes.
"Netherworld..."
"Again, Netherworld!"
Yue Huanglong's face, once full of naivety, turned cold.
"How vexing."
Failing to obtain the Su family's Buddhist soil secret technique left Yue Huanglong displeased. After plotting for so long, even humbling himself, their plans were foiled by Netherworld.
That Netherworld's cat-faced individual dared to threaten him, saying they would sever his life and death ties!
He, Yue Huanglong, was a Four Opens Martial Saint, a pinnacle warrior who had witnessed the Heavenly Gate!
Could Netherworld, despite having the Hell King, possibly sever his life and death ties?
