Chapter 319: Empress Xi Xi, Struck by Lightning at Six, Temple Deity Suddenly Appears [Seeking Monthly Votes]



Whooosh—!

At the mountain peak, the fierce wind howled, and countless snowflakes fell, blurring the vision of most people present.

Li Che's black robe fluttered in the wind, his hands clasped behind his back. His wife, Zhang Ya, clutched her fists tightly, her face pale, her whole body tense, her emotions agitated, and her internal energy hard to control.

For Zhang Ya, all she had was worry...

Worry that Xi Xi might not break through to the Divine Countenance Realm?

Worry that Xi Xi might fail to break through?

Lu Tai Bai had told Zhang Ya that breaking through from the Divine Foundation to the Divine Countenance Realm actually carried some risks. If the breakthrough failed, she might be counterattacked by her own divine nature.

And Xi Xi's situation was even more complicated.

Because Xi Xi's body harbored quite a few divine weapons. Although Lu Tai Bai did not explicitly tell Zhang Ya which divine weapons were hidden in Xi Xi's body, Zhang Ya understood just by his words.

If the Dao Lord said it...

It must be very dangerous!

"Che... Can Xi Xi succeed?"

Zhang Ya nervously grabbed Li Che's arm, lifting her head, her face showing a hint of worry.

She looked at Li Che. When Li Che completed the exchange with the Huazhongxian incarnation and personally took Zhang Ya's icy hand, Zhang Ya knew her husband had returned.

The Huazhongxian Li Che had directly told Zhang Ya that he was just an incarnation.

When the real husband returned, Zhang Ya's originally tense emotions eased somewhat.

It seemed that as long as her husband was there, as long as Xi Xi's father was there, all problems would no longer be problems.

After all, her husband was the pillar of their small family!

The true head of the household.

Li Che's eyes flickered, his energy circulating, warming his wife's icy hand: "Don't worry, you know Xi Xi's talent. She will definitely succeed."

"As for those divine weapons in Xi Xi... They are very well-behaved."

Li Che smiled gently, embracing his wife's shoulders and speaking softly.

Hearing this, Zhang Ya let out a breath: "That's good... I can relax now. If my husband says so, Xi Xi will definitely succeed!"

Zhang Ya smiled, a bright and beautiful smile.

Lu Tai Bai's silver hair fluttered as he stood at the entrance of the Tai Bai Hall. The Dao Lord's Consort, Xuan Qisha, who looked like a little girl, enviously glanced at Li Che and Zhang Ya.

Lu Tai Bai glanced at the affectionate couple and understood in his heart that the real Li Che must have returned.

Since he learned that Li Che was the Divine Monkey, Lu Tai Bai knew that Li Che possessed a top-tier incarnation technique.

It was truly top-tier, even Lu Tai Bai could not discern it.

He did not believe in evil, even when he used a divine-level Heaven-Earth Soul, he could not tell the difference between the real and the Huazhongxian incarnation.

Perhaps only by grasping the Dao essence and achieving the Divine Tribulation Realm, opening a small cave heaven, and becoming a cave heaven lord, could one discern the truth and see through the black and white.

However, seeing the affectionate couple, it was likely that the real Li Che had returned.

When did he return?

Lu Tai Bai's interest in the Netherworld's secret techniques grew even more.

However, Lu Tai Bai did not pay too much attention and quickly shifted his gaze to the large courtyard.

Today, Xi Xi was the main character.

Originally, Lu Tai Bai wanted Xi Xi to spend more time in seclusion, but he did not expect that Xi Xi's improvement speed was much faster than anticipated, as if some additional force was stimulating her to become stronger and grow.

Lu Tai Bai was surprised. According to his predicted growth curve for Xi Xi, her current growth rate had already exceeded his expectations.

Unfortunately, Xi Xi ultimately failed to break through to the Great Master Realm, still stuck at the peak of the Master Realm, unable to condense the Great Flesh Pill.

However, this was not surprising. Although Xi Xi's martial talent was not low, her age was too young, which affected her physical development.

As for divine nature, it did not have much impact. If you have the talent, you can achieve the Divine Countenance Realm even at three years old.

Why do the reincarnated bodies of temple deities cultivate so quickly?

It is because they do not focus much on physical cultivation but rather on divine nature. The physical body only needs to be strong enough to support the divine nature.

Therefore, the reincarnated bodies of temple deities can break through very quickly.

However, if the physical body is not strong enough to grow in sync with the divine nature, unless it is a reincarnated body of a temple deity, normal divine nature cultivators will often encounter the problem of their divine nature being too strong for their physical body to support.

Li Che held his wife Zhang Ya, staring at the central part of the snow-covered courtyard where Xi Xi sat.

Unconsciously, Xi Xi had already grown into a little girl's form. Although her small belly still existed, she had grown taller and more slender.

During this time, although Li Che had been focusing on cultivation in the independent workshop courtyard, consolidating his Martial Saint Realm with two Dao Pills, he also provided Xi Xi with specialized cultivation for the "Dream Teacher" Dao Fruit at night.

Xi Xi would also receive feedback from the Dao Fruit during her battles with opponents.

Therefore, Xi Xi's foundation had been continuously washed by the power of the Dao Fruit.

To help Xi Xi better break through to the Divine Countenance Realm, Li Che modified the specialized cultivation for the "Dream Teacher" Dao Fruit.

Originally, the "Dream Teacher" Dao Fruit was bound to the "Dragon Elephant Vajra," providing Xi Xi with specialized cultivation for the "Fist King Arena."

However, when the "Dream Teacher" Dao Fruit was bound to the "Immortal Art" Dao Fruit, it provided Xi Xi with specialized cultivation for the "Divine Sculpture Examination."

Li Che simulated three types of divine sculpture examinations in his dreams, with simple rules and regulations, directly borrowing the examination rules from the Heaven-Qi Supervision.

According to the three types of examinations: Third Rank Guest minister, Second Rank guest minister, and Divine Sculpture Elder examination.

Naturally, Mi Che has personally experienced all three types of these examinations, so arranging them for his daughter to experience in her dreams is also quite beneficial.

After about five days of training in the [Dream Heaven Master · Divine Sculpture Examination], Xi Xi has successfully mastered some divine sculpture techniques, which is the feedback given by the Immortal Art Dao Fruit.

The divine sculpture helps Xi Xi to carve divine countenances.

Of course...

Li Che can also help Xi Xi guide and outline the divine countenance, but if Xi Xi can complete it herself, it is naturally best for her to do so.

Indeed, many cultivators will also spend a price to have divine sculpture masters assist them in breaking through to the divine countenance realm, to help them sculpt.

However, such cultivators will basically cut off their future path, and their future limit will be the divine countenance realm.

Only such cultivators would choose to have a divine sculpture master sculpt on their divine foundation.

Those who still have aspirations for the future, who have not given up and do not want to take shortcuts, will still choose to carve the divine countenance themselves!

In fact, during the process of practicing the divine foundation technique, the divine countenance is also outlined within the divine foundation.

As long as one follows the route and contours to carve, it will be fine.

The [King of Fists Arena] and the [Divine Sculpture Examination] are both extremely beneficial for Xi Xi, and they are also the means by which Li Che shares his Dao Fruit abilities in another way.

Li Che has also tried to give Zhang Ya and Li Qingshan the experience of the [King of Fists Arena], but after experiencing it, they only gain the feedback of the blood and qi of the defeated opponents, without receiving the energy feedback of the Dao Fruit.

This is very different from Xi Xi.

This point made Li Che slightly surprised, but he was only surprised and did not feel too strange.

After all, Li Che gaining Dao Fruit is greatly related to the birth of his daughter, Xi Xi.

It is tied to the father-daughter bond.

Perhaps it is this bond that allows Li Che to amplify the Dao Fruit and transmit it to Xi Xi through the [Dream Heaven Master] Dao Fruit as a bridge.

This is also Li Che's way to assist Xi Xi in impacting the divine countenance and the Great Master realm.



Suddenly.

Everyone's eyes slightly narrowed, feeling a wave of heat in the air.

"It has started."

The Dao Lord's Consort, Xuan Qisha, clenched her small fists, and her face, adorned with exquisite makeup, showed a look of seriousness and anticipation.

Xi Xi is also her half-disciple, and she naturally wants to see her disciple grow stronger!

Lu Tai Bai's silver hair flew, and in his twin pupils, countless sword lights were reflected. He was always ready, and if the situation became truly critical, he would step in to help Xi Xi complete the divine countenance transformation.

However, such a situation would not be good news for Xi Xi.

A sound like a heavy heartbeat echoed in everyone's ears, and the accumulated snow on the vast plaza trembled and danced subtly under a powerful force!

Xi Xi, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the vast plaza, suddenly had pitch-black flames leap out from her body.

The flames were scorching and pitch-black as ink. As they burned, the snow on the ground melted rapidly, clearing out an empty space.

The Flames of Hell Lotus!

The divine technique Xi Xi is cultivating is the [Eight-Armed Three-Faced Hell Lotus Invincible] Divine Embryo Technique. This technique only goes up to the Divine Embryo stage, but it is enough for the current Xi Xi.

This technique is a Trisect technique, cultivating the "Flames of Hell lotus."

In fact, whether it’s Li Che, the Eleven Dao Divine Sect, or the many cultivators of the Da Jing Dynasty, they have all obtained the significance of "hell lotus" from various strange temples.

Many techniques are crowned with "hell lotus," and even many temple deities are inseparable from the hell lotus.

Like the Golden Light manor, the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Angry Third Prince strange temple, which is a Fourth Rank strange temple, is also inseparable from "hell lotus."

Like the Six-Eared Hell lotus Sacred Monkey Two-Hearted Sage strange temple that Li Che just absorbed, it is also crowned with "hell lotus."

Therefore, what is "hell lotus" and what is its relationship with these fallen deities?

It has already become an important clue that many great divine powerhouses are chasing the truth.

"Hell lotus..." Li Che narrowed his eyes.

He then stopped thinking more and focused his gaze on the vast plaza.

Xi Xi suddenly stood up, letting out a long cry. Countless black flames burned around her, swirling and gradually gathering into a black flame lotus!

The hell lotus, blooms!

Xi Xi, wearing the fur-lined tiger-head embroidered shoes sewn by Zhang Ya, stomped down, and an invisible wave of qi spread out in concentric ripples from her body.

The snow within a ten-meter radius instantly melted and then turned into boiling steam!

The clanging sound echoed, and countless sparks danced rapidly.

Then, two hell lotus wind and fire golden light wheels, enveloped in black flames, spun at high speed, rising into the sky from the hell lotus flames.

Xi Xi's two feet stomped on two golden light wheels, her fists clenched, and her black hair flew wildly, rising behind her.

Her hands opened, and her small belly quivered at a high frequency. In the next moment, as if showing her muscles, she clenched her fists and bent her arms.

The qi and blood in her body instantly transformed into a dragon and elephant rising to the sky!

This is the Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant technique taught by Li Che!

This transverse martial art, even after Lu Tai Bai learned about it, he was also very appreciative and did not let Xi Xi stop practicing, because Lu Tai Bai saw inclusiveness in this martial art...

It has a growth potential that seems to have no upper limit!

This greatly surprised Lu Tai Bai, so he did not change Xi Xi's transverse martial art but only taught her sword techniques and guided her divine cultivation.

In the realm of Divine Form, it is already challenging to attract tribulation thunder.

However, the Three Pure Realms stage Divine Form...

Is an exception, as an additional bolt of tribulation thunder will descend, a sign of respect for the Three Pure Realms stage Divine Form.

...

...

Listening to the thunder in the alley.

Deep within the alley, the dim orange light faintly illuminates like a dilapidated street lamp in the quiet corner of a park, struggling to dispel the darkness and shining a faint light.

Restaurant.

A large black dog lying at the entrance, its fat trembled, suddenly stood up, and its paws slapped the ground as it looked up towards the direction of Tai Bai Peak.

It was anxious, jumping around, looking at the owner sitting leisurely in a chair, holding a cigarette paper and rolling tobacco into a cigarette.

"Alright, I know you're anxious, but don't rush."

The owner spoke slowly.

He took a cigarette, lit it with a match, and the flame ignited the cigarette.

His lips trembled, and he exhaled two puffs of thick gray smoke.

"Huff—"

"What's the rush?"

"Xi Xi has just broken through the Divine Form, and there won't be any big trouble... Don't worry, don't rush."

The owner held the cigarette between two fingers, flicked off the ash, and said calmly.

The anxious black dog blinked its dark eyes and looked towards the direction of Tai Bai Peak, but it couldn't calm down. It kept spinning in place, circling around.

"Besides, why are you, a dog, so anxious? Even Xi Xi's father hasn't started to worry... Why are you, a dog, so anxious?"

"She now has a father who will surely do his best to protect his daughter, even if... it means death."

The owner spoke softly, holding the cigarette.

The dog suddenly calmed down, its dark eyes shimmering with a hint of melancholy.

"Don't interfere too much... We should remain spectators, unless..."

"Unless it becomes unbearable to watch."

The owner took a drag on the cigarette, narrowing his eyes as he slowly exhaled, the smoke curling like a snake, making the owner's face and the dog's figure appear hazy and surreal.

The dog wasn't happy and barked, "Woof!"

But the owner didn't bother to pay attention, slowly smoking his cigarette.

She had just broken through the Divine Form...

Just barely...

...

...

An anomaly appeared on Tai Bai Peak.

After all, there was no Heavenly Chessboard to conceal it.

Therefore, most of the powerful beings in the Heavenly Origin Dao City sensed it.

Although it wasn't a grand tribulation thunder, it still attracted many gazes.

In the eight-cornered, multi-eaved treasure tower of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

The Supervisor Hong Shiffo, who was playing Go, narrowed his eyes.

"Sss—"

"This little girl... is only six years old, and she's about to break through the Divine Form?"

"What was I doing at six years old? Oh... I was playing with mud. I'm a late bloomer, not in the same league as this girl."

Supervisor Hong Shiffo smiled.

Then his eyes flashed.

"This little girl... it's a pity she can't join my Imperial Astronomical Bureau. It seems that Lu Tai Bai has high expectations for her, cultivating her so quickly. She's broken through the Divine Form at six years old..."

"And her Divine Form stage is not low. But why is Lu Tai Bai allowing a six-year-old girl to be struck by tribulation thunder? It's truly..."

"A little girl struck by thunder, let me calculate the fortune of this tribulation for you."

Supervisor Hong Shiffo stretched lazily.

Then, his five fingers swept across the chessboard, and the black and white pieces that were originally on it disappeared.

Then, several pieces clattered onto the board.

After a few turns, they fell together.

Supervisor Hong Shiffo's originally languid expression suddenly changed, and he pinched his fingers.

"How is this possible? With Lu Tai Bai's protection... how can the divination still show... disaster?"

"A sign of great disaster?!"

...

...

Ding ding ding—

Xi Xi held the Prison Lotus Yang Divine Sword and continuously slashed at the Divine Embryo.

Accompanying the sound of the Divine Embryo fragments shattering and falling off.

Many couldn't help but exclaim softly.

Six years old...

From the Divine Embryo to the Divine Form, she could actually do this?

Even the carving of the Divine Embryo was so lifelike!

Xi Xi's carving skills shocked everyone present, except for Li Che.

Even Lu Tai Bai and the Dao Lord's Consort, Xuan Qisha, showed surprise.

Lu Tai Bai was well aware of Xi Xi, although she was the daughter of Li Che, the Half-Saint of the Divine Eagle. However, in terms of the Divine Eagle... it seemed she didn't have much talent.

Instead, she had excellent talent in divine talismans.

However, Lu Tai Bai felt that his previous assessment might have been hasty.

Was Xi Xi's carving talent so high?

If he hadn't sensed other primordial spirit fluctuations, Lu Tai Bai would have thought that Li Che had helped Xi Xi carve the Divine Embryo.

But when Lu Tai Bai looked at Li Che, Li Che consciously spread his hands, indicating that it wasn't him, he hadn't done it.

Boom—!!!

When the embryo shape was completely carved, a powerful divine nature surged forth.

After the Divine Embryo fragments fell off, the embryonic shape emerged.

Eight arms, three faces, and standing on the Prison Lotus!

The three faces were ferocious, angry, and roaring...

On those eight arms, the rough shape of divine weapons was outlined.

Boom—!!!

As soon as the rough shape appeared, the thunder in the sky roared! Li Che didn't use the Heavenly Chessboard to conceal it, blocking the sky.

Boom—!!!

The terrifying blast of thunder resounded, and the rough shape completely emerged, standing on the Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, supported by the Prison Lotus, with three faces in different postures, vaguely resembling Xi Xi.

...

...

The oppressive aura of a higher-tier plane gradually permeated the area, like a terrifying taboo of the heavens awakening from its slumber.

Thick lead clouds loomed heavily, and a thunderous roar shattered the snow, streaking across the sky towards Xi Xi and Xi Xi's back, the towering statue of the Eight-Armed Three-Faced Prison Lotus Invincible Divine Countenance, carved from the divine foundation, stood tall.

Xi Xi raised her head, and a golden brick appeared in her hand.

"Come on! Empress Xi Xi isn't afraid of you!"

Xi Xi held the Prison Lotus Yang Divine Sword in one hand and swung the golden brick in the other, standing on the Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, and soared straight up into the sky.

With unparalleled ferocity, she charged towards the massive thunderous serpent, thick as a barrel, and struck it with all her might!

Bang—!!!

Xi Xi's eyes shone brightly, like two black plums.

Her eyes were filled with eagerness and high spirits.

Facing the tribulation, she fiercely struck out with the golden brick in her hand!

"Ahhhhhh—!"

The thunderous bombardment hit Xi Xi so hard that she felt like she had just undergone an MRI, and even her bones were visible.

However, when the thunder dissipated, Xi Xi's head emitted a puff of blue smoke, and she exhaled a cloud of smoke, tossing the golden brick in her hand.

"So this is the tribulation," Xi Xi chuckled.

But Xi Xi also understood that her physical body was now much stronger than before.

In her dream, the King of Fists' arena, every time she defeated an opponent, she felt an extremely comfortable surge of power, giving her a warm feeling like being back in her mother's womb.

After soaking in this sensation multiple times, Xi Xi felt even stronger!

After withstanding the tribulation, Xi Xi continued her carving, beginning the final stage of intricate sculpting.

Of course, her sculpting was still somewhat rough, as she was not a Divine Crane Half-Saint like Li Che.

She was only six years old and had barely learned how to sculpt the divine foundation.

Very few children her age could sculpt divine foundations.

After several attempts, the divine countenance took shape.

Although the lines were rough and the appearance was not refined, the overall form of the Eight-Armed Three-Faced Prison Lotus Invincible Divine Countenance could be discerned.

The divine countenance was now visible.

Huff, huff, huff—

Xi Xi panted heavily, her vital energy surging, as she stood on the Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, suspended in mid-air, looking up at the divine countenance she had successfully carved, and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face, revealing dimples on her baby-fat cheeks.

Boom, boom, boom—

Winter thunder rumbled, lightning flashed, and thunder roared, but no tribulation fell.

The fierce wind howled between heaven and earth.

The colossal Eight-Armed Three-Faced Prison Lotus Invincible Divine Countenance, with its furious, ferocious, and roaring appearance, was suspended above Xi Xi's head, surrounded by countless black Prison Lotus flames.

"Success!"

In front of the Tai Bai Hall.

Lu Tai Bai exhaled softly.

Li Che also relaxed, revealing a smile.

The divine countenance carving was successful.

Next, they needed to pull this divine countenance back into the inner landscape of the Niwan Palace.

Once the pulling was successful, Xi Xi would officially break through to the Divine Countenance Realm at the age of six!

Xi Xi understood this as well.

She put away the various divine weapons, and with a thought, her vital energy surged like a dragon.

She began to pull the Eight-Armed Three-Faced Divine Countenance towards the Niwan Palace between her eyebrows.

However...

Just as Xi Xi started to pull, she suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Because...

The Prison Lotus flames beneath the divine countenance suddenly grew immensely.

Boom, boom, boom—!

The terrifying and scorching heat rolled in waves, instantly engulfing the entire courtyard and melting all the accumulated snow.

It was as if a giant Prison Lotus flame hand with five fingers spread out had formed, supporting Xi Xi and the Three Pure Ones Divine Countenance she had outlined.

The next moment...

The giant hand clenched tightly!

Like a blooming Prison Lotus, it contracted, enveloping Xi Xi and the divine countenance.

As the black fire lotus formed by the Prison Lotus flames rotated, it resembled a black hole, completely enveloping Xi Xi in an instant...

On top of Tai Bai Peak.

Everyone reacted, their expressions changing, exclaiming in surprise, shock, and alarm.

Lu Tai Bai, Fang Han Shu, and Li Che were the first to react.

Because...

In the moment the Prison Lotus flames converged, they saw a mysterious temple appear behind Xi Xi and the divine countenance.

The temple door opened, and a figure darted out, appearing behind Xi Xi in the blink of an eye.

As if sensing Li Che's gaze...

The figure looked up at Li Che and smiled mischievously.

Li Che's eyes narrowed, his hair stood on end, and his scalp tingled!

Because he was all too familiar with this figure...

It was the same one he had seen during the temple deity's resonance...

With a sky-high braid and a black bellyband.

The one who had tempted Xi Xi...

The Third Prince of the Prison Lotus, who had plucked out his father's bones and cut off his mother's flesh!

The second update is here, and I'm exhausted. I had nine recommendation tickets for Old Li, but now there are only four left... I'll keep competing for recommendations! I can't believe we're still not getting recommendations after such an intense update. I'm feeling discouraged, so please give us some recommendations and monthly tickets, and I'll continue tomorrow!
