Chapter 313: You Invite the Buddha, I Summon the Great Sage, Carving a Stone to Bring Forth a Divine Monkey (Part 1)
The night had just deepened.
The light seemed to be devoured by an invisible beast, leaving little brightness for the mortal world.
The white snow, deprived of the reflection of light, appeared as clumps of darkness, falling from the sky.
The wind and snow howled, raging without end.
The carriage broke through the cold wind and snow.
Ten zhang away, a distant separation.
Within the extravagantly decorated Buddhist chariot, there seemed to be a gaze of extreme brilliance, bursting forth with dazzling radiance, dispersing the darkness as if sweeping it away.
Huang Tuo was originally languid, reclining in the Buddhist chariot like a noble concubine, with less solemnity befitting a Buddhist and more unrestrained indulgence.
However, when the carriage left its tracks in the snowy ground and came to a stop, Huang Tuo immediately became alert.
His slender figure sat upright, his neck slightly tilted forward, his eyes like two night pearls, and a smile on his face.
With palms pressed together, he smiled amidst the slanting wind and snow.
"Amitabha..."
"Layman Li."
"You finally stopped being a turtle."
"I've been waiting for you, and I'm almost driven mad."
Huang Tuo's voice seemed to contain a hint of suppressed joy.
Indeed...
He couldn't bear the provocation.
Yue Huanglong, the Dao Lord of Qianyuan, arranged for the hooligans to spread rumors and stir up emotions in the city, and it turned out to be useful.
After all, Li Che was not a saint, nor a true Buddha without joy or sorrow. With the seven emotions and six desires within him, it was basically difficult to ignore the various insults and humiliations, and it was hard to maintain a calm mind.
The Buddhist sect was skilled in manipulating people's hearts.
Although most of the commoners and Jianghu cultivators in Qianyuan City supported Li Che and the Divine Sculptor Master, money could make ghosts push mills.
Moreover, with the help of the Dao Lord's Mansion in the shadows, it was naturally easy to manipulate and play with people's emotions!
Huang Tuo looked towards the carriage ten zhang away.
The carriage was quiet, silently parked in the wind and snow.
On the carriage, Nie Yang and Li Chengzhou, master and disciple, held their swords upright, chests out, eyes blazing, and sharp sword intent.
On the carriage of the Buddhist chariot, Wu Gang had his palms pressed together, and his robust body suddenly swelled up like a mountain, completely suppressing Nie Yang and his disciple with his aura.
Although Nie Yang was a Grand Master, Wu Gang was a Martial Saint!
Li Chengzhou's entire body trembled, his face flushed red, and his sword-holding hand shook.
Although most of the Martial Saint's aura was blocked by Nie Yang, even the slightest bit of leaked power was far beyond what Li Chengzhou could contend with at this moment.
The gap between Li Chengzhou and the Martial Saint was like that of an ant compared to a towering mountain.
He was too insignificant.
However, he didn't lose his composure or collapse; he persisted.
I can't disgrace my uncle!
Li Chengzhou's nasal cavity was filled with scorching energy, and he gritted his teeth to endure.
Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and a slender, fair hand extended from within, gently resting on Li Chengzhou's shoulder, as if an invisible force was coursing through Li Chengzhou's body.
Li Chengzhou felt the Martial Saint's pressure, like a mountain collapsing, dissipate in an instant.
But then, Li Che, dressed in black, emerged from the carriage with a gentle smile.
"Little Chengzhou, you did well."
Li Che patted Li Chengzhou, encouraging him.
Li Chengzhou's face was filled with excitement.
"Uncle..."
"Uncle, you must win!"
Hearing this, Li Che's face immediately broke into a smile: "Haha, since you say so, I must win."
After speaking, Li Che stepped out of the chariot.
He stood on the carriage.
His tall figure resembled a long spear.
At this moment, Wu Gang's powerful aura, like a mountain collapsing, seemed to waver slightly, unable to fully suppress Li Che's body.
Wu Gang's body was as sturdy as an ox, his eyes like copper bells, and his heart trembled as he stared at Li Che.
"This person... such a strong will!"
"Is this the Divine Sculptor Demi-Saint?!"
"Even without reaching the Divine Embryo Realm, the achieved Divine Sculptor Demi-Saint possesses a terrifying will far surpassing the Divine Essence Realm!"
Wu Gang restrained his martial will, as Huang Tuo spoke.
"Wu Gang, don't scare our Layman Li."
Huang Tuo smiled kindly.
He had finally forced Li Che out, and it would be a real pity if Wu Gang scared him away.
Li Che and Li Nan Xi, this father and daughter, had been Huang Tuo's desire for a long time. If he could guide them into the Buddhist sect, he would surely gain immense merit from the strange temple of Little Ling Yin Temple!
Li Che stepped down from the chariot, and Nie Yang, holding his sword, followed closely behind him, his body covered in goosebumps and sharp sword intent.
Too dangerous!
One Martial Saint, one Divine Embryo with two divine transformations, Nie Yang had no confidence, but he believed Li Che wouldn't appear here without a reason.
"I heard... you want to compete in Divine Sculpture with me?"
Li Che's eyes glanced gently at Huang Tuo.
Huang Tuo stepped out of the Buddhist chariot, palms pressed together, and nodded slightly.
"As a Divine Sculptor Demi-Saint, how much can you suppress? With your standards and foundation as a Divine Sculptor Demi-Saint, do you still have the face to suppress and compete with the Divine Sculptor Masters of Qianyuan City..."
"You're really shameless."
Li Che spoke calmly.
Huang Tuo didn't seem to mind, as being cursed at wouldn't make him lose a piece of flesh. He smiled: "It's a necessary measure. I just want to invite Layman Li out. After all, Layman Li has rejected my challenges too many times, so I have to use some means."
Li Che stretched lazily and walked straight towards the high platform.
"Come on, it's a good opportunity. I've made some progress in Divine Eagle, so let's see the unique Divine Eagle Technique of Lingyin Temple."
Upon hearing this, Huang Tuo's eyes lit up with joy.
As long as Li Che agreed to the challenge, that was enough.
After completing the Divine Will clash in Divine Eagle, he was confident that he could invade Li Che's will with Buddhist intentions and make Li Che devote himself to Buddhism!
Huang Tuo also climbed onto the high platform.
The atmosphere around them suddenly became lively!
The Jianghu guests and commoners from Qianyuan Dao City, who had originally planned to leave feeling stifled, suddenly became excited.
Li Bansheng... made his move!
The Divine Eagle masters from various prominent families, who had sensed the situation early on, all rushed over at full speed.
The news spread like a storm throughout Qianyuan Dao City.
Two Divine Eagle Demi-Saints were about to clash and compete in their Divine Eagle techniques!
What a rare and grand occasion! Zhou Tian Shui from the Zhou family, Yun Hai Yang from the Yun family, Gongtu Jingjun from Divine Eagle Ridge, Tang Xiejia, and others all heard the news and rushed over at full speed.
Since the high platform was located in the bustling central area of Qianyuan Dao City, everyone rushed over as soon as they heard the news.
Gongtu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia sat in the carriage, their brows furrowed. "A Che... How could he not stay calm and accept this bald donkey's provocation?"
"The Dao Lord's residence is backing them, and with Su family gone... Yue Huanglong is planning to ally with Lingyin Temple and use their power to suppress our Qianyuan Divine Sect?"
Gongtu Jingjun's face turned cold.
He had naturally heard all the insulting words spreading among the commoners.
Anyone with eyes could see that it was a tactic to provoke him, but these lowly methods did have some effect, at least in stirring up people's emotions and ruining Li Che's reputation in Qianyuan Dao City.
Unless Li Che appeared and competed with Huang Tuo...
If he lost, his already poor reputation would worsen, which would be equivalent to... If Li Che lost, it would be like his entire person being ruined!
"This Huang Tuo is a disciple of the Great Mage Huangmei, who is famous in Jing for his Divine Eagle skills. Huang Tuo himself is also a senior Demi-Saint in Divine Eagle... Competing with Li Che is like bullying a junior!"
"These bald donkeys are truly despicable and treacherous!"
Tang Xiejia, with his fiery temper, couldn't help but curse out loud.
...
...
The high platform was covered in snow.
The two sat facing each other on the platform.
Huang Tuo sat cross-legged, calmly looking at Li Che. When it came to his specialty, Divine Eagle, he became incredibly confident.
"Li, how do you want to compete? It's up to you."
"The old rules. Sculpt a Divine Eagle and clash Divine Wills."
Li Che said calmly.
These were the most basic rules for a competition between Divine Eagle masters.
Li Che's gaze fixed on Huang Tuo, as if he were looking at a dead man, pondering which angle to cut from to ensure the completeness of the body after it was put back together.
But then again, it wasn't necessary; he felt that punching the opponent would be the most satisfying.
Li Che wasn't provoked by the insults spread by the so-called street thugs and hoodlums.
Although there was some connection, these rumors and gossip didn't mean much to Li Che.
He had never been the type to hold grudges.
Honest and easygoing, that was Li Che.
Li Che stared at Huang Tuo.
After secretly discussing with Lu Tai Bai for a while, they naturally planned the murder.
It must be said that Lu Tai Bai, as the Hunter King Killer of Hunter Sect, was indeed skilled in designing murder plans. Li Che felt that he had learned a lot.
Although Li Che was also a professional, Lu Tai Bai had lived many more years and had more extensive experience.
Lu Tai Bai's target was naturally not Huang Tuo, but the Three Lives Body of Huangmei in Huang Tuo's hands.
Although it was said that the Three Lives Body of Buddhism was immortal, and as long as one of the three bodies was not destroyed, it could be resurrected, but once one of the three bodies was destroyed, it would require enormous resources and time to re-condense.
Moreover, Lu Tai Bai's target...
Was not limited to that.
This competition was just one part of the plan.
Of course, Li Che had raised doubts.
He felt it was unnecessary to compete with Huang Tuo. He could simply assassinate him after returning to Wang Chun Tower.
Covering the celestial chessboard and killing him silently would be the perfect crime.
However, from the perspective of the sect leader, Lu Tai Bai still let Li Che accept this competition, after all, reputation was related to the Divine Eagle industry of Qianyuan Divine Sect. If they really carried the bad reputation, it would be a waste of Li Che's reputation as a Divine Eagle Demi-Saint.
Upon hearing this, Li Che didn't resist.
"If you want me to compete with Huang Tuo... What conditions can you offer?" Lu Tai Bai asked gently, his silver hair flying.
Li Che smiled, "I'm an honest and easygoing person..."
"So, I think those street thugs spreading rumors should be quiet."
Li Che wasn't the type to hold grudges; he just found them noisy.
Lu Tai Bai was stunned. Li Che had indeed redefined the terms "honest and easygoing."
"No problem. Those people are backed by Yue Huanglong, so they are fearless. Yue Huanglong, the Dao Lord, is ruthless and domineering. Although the city's powers seem to be divided among the prominent families, they are all controlled by him. This rumor is just a small tactic of his."
"No problem, if it's necessary to kill, then kill."
Lu Tai Bai spoke indifferently, not giving Yue Huanglong the slightest bit of respect.
"However, be careful when you compete with Huang Tuo... Be wary of the methods of the Buddhist sect."
Lu Tai Bai seemed to have thought of something and cautioned Li Che.
...
...
On the high platform.
Two Divine Eagle Demi-Saints began their divine carving competition.
Huang Tuo took this competition very seriously, as he came with the purpose of guiding and teaching Li Che. Of course, he also wanted to win.
As a disciple of the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage and a direct disciple of a Divine Carving Master, how could Huang Tuo possibly lose to a wild Divine Eagle Demi-Saint without any lineage?
Huang Tuo took out one piece after another of Fifth Rank Upper Spirit Wood from the Universe Jade, filling the platform with an extremely dense divine aura.
His expression was solemn and serious like never before.
Unlike his previous competitions with Zhou Tian Shui and Yun Hai Yang, where he didn't need to take them seriously, those were just trash. As Li Che had said, even if he suppressed his cultivation and limited his skills, he could still easily crush them.
Suddenly.
Just as Huang Tuo took out a piece of Five Ancients Upper Spirit Wood, he felt it was a bit hot, as if there were scorching gazes shooting from afar, staring fixedly at his spirit wood and... the Universe Jade.
Hmm?
Huang Tuo followed the gaze and met Li Che's honest and straightforward eyes.
Li Che smiled and nodded, then averted his gaze.
Originally, Li Che was reluctant to take out the extremely precious Five Ancients Upper Spirit Wood, the Phoenix Blood Phoenix Nest Nirvana Wood.
This was one of the only two pieces of Five Ancients Upper Spirit Wood he had.
The other piece of Five Ancients Upper Spirit Wood was the Thunderstorm Dragon Blood Roaring Wood, a Thunder-attributed spirit wood!
When Li Che saw Huang Tuo continuously taking out spirit wood from the Universe Jade, his gaze towards Huang Tuo was no longer that of a Buddhist disciple, but that of a wealthy sponsor!
A wealthy sponsor indeed!
Accompanied by a phoenix-like cry, scorching heat spread across the platform, instantly melting the accumulated snow.
Huang Tuo narrowed his eyes and smiled, also taking out a piece of spirit wood that seemed to be stained with golden blood, emitting an incredibly majestic Buddha light!
"Fifth Rank Upper Spirit Wood, Suffering Sea Buddha Blood Rebirth Wood!"
Huang Tuo's bright red kasaya suddenly billowed wildly, and beneath it was a complete set of Dragon Scale Divine Armament carving suit!
A Dragon Scale Divine Armament carving knife that shimmered with Buddha light was taken out and spun on his fingertip.
The knife fell onto the Buddha Blood Wood, and Huang Tuo's bright red kasaya kept fluttering, like rising smoke and flowers!
