Chapter 322: I'll Avenge Your Daughter, Seeking Immortality (Part 2)
Chapter 322: I'll Avenge Your Daughter, Seeking Immortality (Part 2)
The overwhelming aura filled the entire Divine Shrine.
Then, Nan Li Huo witnessed a scene he would never forget.
The Golden Heavenly King statue, holding up the pagoda...
Was struck by the Sacred Monkey's staff and...
Blown to pieces?!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Nan Li Huo instantly found himself outside the Divine Shrine, as the entrance sealed shut. The Golden Heavenly King statue, once placed on the altar, now lay in ruins, shattered into countless fragments.
The wind howled, and the air currents within the shrine calmed down.
Only Nan Li Huo, visibly shaken by the impact, remained.
He stared blankly.
After a long while, Nan Li Huo felt the bitterness on his lips.
"Something big is about to happen!"
...
...
Prison Lotus Small Cavern World.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard woven in his eyes disappeared.
His eyes cleared, and he exhaled, his body moving as he looked at Xi Xi, whose forehead bore a flickering Prison Lotus divine pattern emitting a radiant glow.
He could sense Xi Xi's energy rapidly increasing, and within her Divine Form power, there was a surge of Prison Lotus energy. This power was refining, transforming, and strengthening Xi Xi's physical body.
Within the Divine Form power, there was a hint of Prison Lotus energy.
Li Che's eyes held a complex expression.
He raised his hand and gently straightened the hair that was stuck to Xi Xi's scalp with sweat during her slumber.
Lu Tai Bai, seeing Li Che fully awake, couldn't help but sigh in relief.
"You're finally awake."
"Xi Xi almost lost her father."
Lu Tai Bai spoke.
Li Che didn't offer much explanation. Regarding the Third Prince's test, if there had been genuine malice or murderous intent, it would have been impossible to hide it from the Pure Heart Dao Fruit.
Therefore, Li Che didn't resort to a desperate struggle.
If he had truly sensed strong malice and murderous intent, Li Che wouldn't have hesitated to unleash the five Mysterious Door Divine Seeds, using all his power in a desperate fight.
However, due to the absence of malice and the Dream Heavenly Master Dao Fruit's desire... Li Che decisively accepted the Third Prince's test.
As expected, the Third Prince only wanted Li Che to help him vent his anger by beating up the Seven Treasures Pagoda and the Golden Heavenly King in his dream.
As for why the Third Prince didn't take action himself, it was most likely due to the Seven Treasures Pagoda of the Benevolent King.
It was a Buddhist artifact, and the Buddha's light held no warmth, as if it was related to the Little Lingyin Temple where Huang Tuo, who was previously suppressed and killed, had resided.
Perhaps the Seven Treasures Pagoda of the Benevolent King was restraining the Third Prince, just like the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda located in the Golden Light Manor, which couldn't be moved by anyone, including Lu Tai Bai, due to the existence of that strange temple, which seemed to be specifically designed to restrain the furious Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Third Prince.
Li Che exhaled, and a sense of solemnity rose in his heart.
These evil Buddhas...
While plotting against the Third Prince, they almost killed Li Che's daughter.
Moreover, the Yellow Eyebrow Grand Mage, who had taken an interest in Xi Xi and himself, claiming a connection with the Little Lingyin Temple, filled Li Che with intense murderous intent.
"Xi Xi should be fine... The Third Prince burned his awakened consciousness, using the power of the Hell Lotus, to control the Hell Lotus Dao Essence. Now, with the Dao Essence merged into Xi Xi's Divine Form, it has been drawn into Xi Xi's inner vision, and Xi Xi has successfully advanced to the Divine Form."
Lu Tai Bai explained briefly.
However, seeing no significant change in Li Che's expression, he realized that Li Che must have overheard his earlier conversation with the Third Prince.
"The Golden Heavenly King, holding the Seven Treasures Pagoda of the Benevolent King... It's indeed related to the Buddhist lineage."
"This setup must have been planned for a long time. Whoever obtains the Purple Flame Spear Flame Tip Spear within the Divine Shrine of the Heavenly King Pagoda will become a means to restrain the Third Prince. But... The Third Prince's awakened consciousness should also have countermeasures..."
Lu Tai Bai couldn't believe that the Buddhists were plotting against the Third Prince's awakened consciousness, while the Third Prince seemed to have no means to counter them.
"The Temple Deity's resonance... might be the Third Prince's countermeasure."
Li Che thought for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"Xi Xi said that during the Temple Deity's resonance, the Third Prince wanted her to scrape her bones and cut her flesh. If Xi Xi had done that and then accepted the inheritance, perhaps... this wouldn't have happened."
Li Che took a deep breath.
The Third Prince had known about this, but he still made this choice.
In other words, the Third Prince had planned to burn his awakened consciousness today in exchange for Xi Xi's future.
Li Che remained silent. In reality, if he hadn't intervened during the Temple Deity's resonance, Xi Xi wouldn't have been able to withstand it, and she would have eventually followed the Third Prince's plan of scraping her bones and cutting her flesh.
But because of his intervention, Xi Xi accepted the inheritance without scraping her bones and cutting her flesh...
Therefore, the awakened consciousness of the Third Prince, which was killed, was actually somewhat related to Li Che.
"The Third Prince said that the Temple Deity has two wills: one born from death and one from his awakened consciousness. Even the Temple Deity itself couldn't discern which will truly belonged to it."
Li Che's eyes flickered.
"Now, with the Third Prince's awakened consciousness destroyed, what remains is the will born from death."
Li Che pondered something.
He pursed his lips.
"Perhaps, from today onwards..."
"The Hell Lotus Third Prince... has become an emotionless enforcer."
Lu Tai Bai's body trembled slightly upon hearing Li Che's words.
"Emotionless... enforcer?"
Lu Tai Bai felt a chill envelop his body.
After learning of the Third Prince's awakening, the Great Jing Court, various Divine Sects, the Hunter King Assassin, the Corpse God Cult, the Western Buddhist Lands, and other top-tier forces might organize an attack on the Four Imperial Strange Temple.
For some reason, upon hearing Li Che's words, Lu Tai Bai had a realization.
Perhaps in the future...
When attacking the Four Imperial Strange Temple in the Golden Light Manor...
There might be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
...
"Dad... Daddy..."
Xi Xi's voice carried a hint of fear.
She gradually woke from her slumber, her floating body slowly descending, just about to land on the ground.
Li Che held her in his arms.
"Daddy... Wow... Daddy, don't die!"
Xi Xi burst into tears.
"Xi Xi doesn't want Daddy to turn into a blackened charcoal!"
Li Che's eyes softened.
"Daddy is here," Li Che said gently.
Perhaps hearing Li Che's words, Xi Xi slowly opened her eyes and saw Li Che without his Divine Monkey mask.
Xi Xi rubbed her eyes with her chubby palms, her long eyelashes trembling, and she smiled happily upon seeing Li Che unharmed, with unshed tears still in the corners of his eyes.
"Daddy... hug."
Xi Xi wrapped her arms around Li Che's neck.
Like a koala, she clung to Li Che's body, and he gently patted her back.
"Xi Xi had a dream. In the dream, Daddy saved Xi Xi but was burned to ashes, leaving Xi Xi forever."
"Xi Xi is so sad, Xi Xi doesn't want Daddy to leave!"
Xi Xi's words were filled with tears.
She truly couldn't bear to part with Daddy.
"Don't worry, Daddy is always here, and Daddy will never die."
Li Che's voice was gentle yet firm.
He had to stay alive, to live on.
In this world, longevity was rare.
Even the Martial Saint who opened the Heavenly Gate only lived for a few hundred years. Unless one achieved a great breakthrough in their Divine Nature, their lifespan was extremely short.
Longevity was difficult and rare...
Li Che would definitely seek a way to attain longevity in this world.
...
Rumble—
Suddenly.
The entire Prison Lotus Small Cavern World began to shake.
The surging black Prison Lotus Flame gradually diminished and retreated, like the receding tide of the sea.
Like a funnel, it rapidly converged into the Prison Lotus divine pattern on Xi Xi's brow.
"Ah!"
Xi Xi let out a startled cry, releasing Li Che's neck and instinctively touching the Prison Lotus divine pattern on her brow with both hands.
"So hot!"
Xi Xi was somewhat surprised.
What was going on?
However, she could feel that the Purple Flame Spear Flame Tip Spear and the Deity Smashing Golden Brick in her arms, as well as the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel in her feet, had become more adept and responsive.
It was as if Xi Xi could sense the emotions of these divine weapons.
"Prison Lotus Dao Essence?"
Lu Tai Bai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
Xi Xi actually received the power of Dao Essence at such a young age. Although this Dao Essence was hidden within her body and couldn't be used, it would be extremely important for her future when she reached the Great Deity Realm.
Many Divine Embryo Great Deities spent their entire lives pursuing and sensing Dao Essence.
For cultivators, Dao Essence is not only a form of energy but also a testament to their own divine path.
By aligning with their divine path, they can harness the power of Dao Essence to create a small cavern world and embark on the true path to immortality.
"This Prison Lotus Dao Essence hidden within Xi Xi's body... is actually not safe. When Xi Xi breaks through to the Divine Embryo Realm, perhaps this Prison Lotus Dao Essence will emerge again..."
Li Che frowned, looking at the Eight-Armed Three-Faced Prison Lotus Invincible Divine Form's Dao Essence that had all hidden within Xi Xi's mud pill palace, and spoke solemnly.
Lu Tai Bai also nodded.
"The Third Prince's burning clear divine will only temporarily suppressed the Prison Lotus Dao Essence. When Xi Xi reaches the Divine Embryo Realm, if her physical body is not strong enough... there will still be considerable danger."
"So, obtaining the true Prison Lotus."
"Letting Xi Xi refine this top-tier Prison Lotus will ensure her safety."
Lu Tai Bai said.
Li Che remained silent.
Golden Light Manor...
The Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Furious Third Prince's Strange Temple?
Even if it means crossing through a mountain of blades and a sea of fire.
As a father, Li Che would definitely get the true Prison Lotus for his daughter!
Whoever stands in his way, he will eliminate them!
Rumble—
Everything around them began to collapse.
Li Che put down Xi Xi and handed her to Lu Tai Bai.
Xi Xi was very obedient and didn't ask why, because she knew her father was her hidden superhero!
When the Prison Lotus Small Cavern World completely collapsed and the flames were completely extinguished, Li Che clenched his fingers and vanished.
...
...
Lead clouds piled up, with thunder flashing and intertwining within them.
The snowflakes drifting down from the clouds melted into snow water, turning into a torrential downpour.
Pattering on the ground.
On the large square of Golden Light Peak.
The atmosphere had been tense for a long time, with everyone's eyes fixed on the Prison Lotus Flame that had been clenched into a ball of fire, their hearts full of anxiety and myriad thoughts.
No one knew what had happened inside the Prison Lotus Flame.
Suddenly.
Fang Hanshu, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, distorting the rain and water of the heavens, suddenly raised his head.
He saw the black Prison Lotus Flame slowly dissipating, as if extinguished by a torrential rain.
It completely disappeared.
After the Prison Lotus Flame disappeared, everyone saw two figures, one large and one small.
Lu Tai Bai's white robe had several scorched spots, his silver hair flying, his expression as usual, leading the delicate and adorable Xi Xi, who had a Prison Lotus divine pattern on her brow, back to the square.
Huff, huff, huff—
The moment everyone saw the two figures.
Everyone couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Even Fang Hanshu, whose back had been straight, slightly relaxed, slightly bending.
It's over.
As expected of the Sect Leader, even the Third Prince Temple Deity's trick could be successfully countered.
On the large square, the others couldn't help but show signs of joy.
Lu Tai Bai led Xi Xi, whose vital energy was boiling and hot, and the divine form power that had been drawn into her mud pill palace was altering her physical body.
Lu Tai Bai's eyes swept over the surroundings.
His sharp gaze landed on the distant figure of Yue Huanglong, who was turning and fleeing in the cloud flow.
However, he didn't pay attention to Yue Huanglong.
Instead, he held Xi Xi's hand.
With a single breath, like a sword light cutting through the cloud flow.
"Li Nuanyi, the Young Master of Heavenly Origin Divine Sect!"
"At six years old, she entered the Divine Form Realm and condensed the Three Pure Ones Divine Form!"
"An unprecedented achievement, a great fortune for Heavenly Origin!"
"Congratulations!"
His voice was resounding, like an ancient bell ringing, echoing throughout the entire Heavenly Origin Divine Sect and all its mountains and peaks.
Echoing throughout the entire Heavenly Origin Dao City!
...
...
Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Thunder Listening Lane.
Independent Workshop Courtyard.
Li Che clenched his fingers and returned, instantly appearing in the center of the courtyard.
His black robe fluttered, his black hair rugged, and an invisible aura wave surged and rippled around him.
He sat cross-legged on the ground.
As the Prison Lotus Flame dissipated, the overwhelming heat in the world vanished, and the cold air sharply returned. Snow began to fall from the clouds again, and the intensity seemed to increase.
In no time, a thick layer of snow covered Li Che's body.
Li Che sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Exhale—"
"Inhale—"
Each breath was like the roar of a dragon and the trumpeting of an elephant!
He sat quietly in the wind and snow.
His eyes opened and closed.
The next instant.
The snow and wind on his body suddenly melted away.
His eyes flickered with a gentle light.
