Chapter 323: Divine Technique Dream Butterfly, Farewell to Xi Xi, Who Will You Beg If I Beg You? [Thanks to the Alliance Leader for Hiding the Secular People]



Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.

Golden Light Peak.

On the vast courtyard, as the heat from Hell Lotus Flame recedes, coldness returns, and a chilling wave covers the area like a tide.

Snowflakes fall from the sky, constantly drifting down to the mortal realm.

Despite the cold surge, the atmosphere on the courtyard is filled with enthusiasm, and even the harsh winter cannot dampen the fervor.

The voice of the Grand Divine Sect Master Lu Tai Bai resonates like a deep bell throughout the entire sect.

The disciples, already drawn by the unusual events on Golden Light Peak, reveal incomparable astonishment in their eyes, followed by surprise and awe.

Six years old... breaking through the Divine Form Realm!

Moreover, the Divine Form she condensed is of the Three Pure Deity rank, and the higher the rank of the Divine Nature Art, the more challenging it becomes. The requirements for accumulating Divine Nature and innate talent reach an extremely terrifying level.

This is why the Divine Nature Arts of the Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors rank are generally taught by elders personally. Some disciples, if lacking in innate talent, may ruin their future cultivation path by forcing themselves to practice these arts, never reaching higher realms.

They are unable to fully develop and utilize their innate talents.

The Divine Nature Arts of the Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors rank are prepared for those with Ten Thousand Foot Purple Qi and Sky-Piercing Purple Qi, the level of Divine Children.

If you don't have the right skills, don't take on tasks beyond your abilities.

If one were to waste their precious foundational years on incomprehensible arts due to the high rank of the Divine Nature Art, squandering their time and sabotaging their future, it would be absolutely unacceptable within the sect.

The sect invests resources in your cultivation, not for you to stubbornly waste your efforts on an unattainable Divine Nature Art.

Countless disciples are filled with mixed emotions, feeling the gap between themselves and others.

Even Chi Kuang, who ranks first in the Lineage Scroll among the Inner Disciples, with his sturdy build and fluttering purple hair, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Even with his innate talent, at six years old, breaking through the Divine Form Realm was still a challenge.

Wei He, who ranked eighth in the Lineage Scroll and had once led and protected the Jin Guang Mansion disciples into the Heavenly Origin Dao City, now had complex emotions in his eyes.

He felt a bit dazed, and the death of Ji He Shan, his master, had left him without a pillar of support.

Recalling that little girl from the past, when she first entered the Heavenly Origin Dao City, he had wanted her to become his junior sister on behalf of Ji He Shan. Now, he realized how foolish he had been.

What was he thinking?

"Congratulations! Congratulations to the Young Sect Master!"

Wei He stood in the snow, clenching his fists and shouting.

The cheers erupted from various corners of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, overwhelming like a mountain.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations to the Young Sect Master!"

The cheers were like thunder, shattering the snowflakes in the sky.

The entire sect was in an uproar.

On the courtyard, Xi Xi blinked, hearing the cheers for her, and she happily crossed her arms, puffing out her little belly.

The excitement in the cheers made Xi Xi's face turn red.

This was Xi Xi's grand entrance.

Xi Xi loved the sect so much; everyone here spoke so sweetly!

Lu Tai Bai ruffled Xi Xi's hair.

"In these few days, I'll be in seclusion on Golden Light Peak, striving to complete the Divine Nature Feedback from Divine Image Guidance for the Physical Body Enhancement and Purification."

"After some time, we'll be heading to the Divine Capital. If you can break through to the Grand Master Realm before the Peach Blossom Banquet, you'll have a chance. After all, your opponents at the Dragonlet Competition may not be six years old, and their cultivation is beyond the Divine Form Realm."

Lu Tai Bai said with a smile.

Xi Xi's heart sank upon hearing this.

"Ah?! Can't Xi Xi take a break?"

Xi Xi felt her energy being drained.

Lu Tai Bai looked at Xi Xi and smiled gently.

"Xi Xi, didn't you want to earn a longevity peach for your mother at the Peach Blossom Banquet? Don't you want to prevent the longevity peach from falling into the hands of other Divine Children?"

Lu Tai Bai continued to deliver his motivational speech.

Xi Xi felt like she had been struck by lightning again!

"No, no! Xi Xi must work hard to earn the longevity peach for Mother!"

Xi Xi's spirits rose.

Xi Xi wanted to rush into her mother's embrace and cling to her, but she also understood the importance of completing the Divine Form's purification of her physical body.

Although Xi Xi was very young, and her physical development and martial arts progress were already rapid, she was still limited by her age. Breaking through to the Grand Master Realm was still a challenge.

Perhaps, with the help of the Divine Form, she might have a chance to break through this time!

Xi Xi also knew that the Peach Blossom Banquet, the grandest event of the Great Jing Dynasty, attracted countless Divine Children. Some families with elders nearing the end of their lifespan would send their offspring to compete for the longevity peach to extend their lives.

The Dragonlet Competition might be the most intense competition.

Xi Xi thought of her mother's longevity peach being taken by other Divine Children, and her anger rose.

She would not allow it! Xi Xi's determination grew.

Lu Tai Bai smiled and took over the situation, just as Fang Zhu had done.

Supervisor Hong Shi Fo shook his wide sleeves and bowed, "Congratulations, Grand Divine Sect Master Lu Tai Bai, for your beloved disciple's achievement of the Divine Form at six years old, an unprecedented feat in Lingnan Dao!"

In the Divine Capital, among the genius Divine Children who received the resources of ancient aristocratic families, there were indeed some who could achieve the Divine Form at six years old.

Xi Xi's background is quite different from the others. She doesn't come from an ancient noble family, not even a prestigious one, but rather, a humble family of commoners.

Even an apex divine being like Hong Shi Fo was amazed and surprised by her. After Hong Shi Fo had just divined a reading for Xi Xi, predicting a major calamity, Lu Tai Bai's heart slightly sank.

The divination skills of the Imperial Astrologer are indeed formidable.

Hong Shi Fo's prediction was indeed accurate.

Although the outside world was unaware of what had transpired within the Prison Lotus Small Heavenly Realm...

Lu Tai Bai was all too clear about the dire situation Xi Xi had faced.

What's more, it wasn't even Lu Tai Bai who saved Xi Xi, but Li Che...

A father willing to risk his life for his daughter successfully rescued her.

Just as Hong Shi Fo was about to say something and ask about what had happened within the Hell Lotus-engulfed space, his expression changed slightly.

Not only Hong Shi Fo, but almost all the top-tier experts present underwent a significant change in their demeanor.

On one of the peaks of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, a majestic Buddhist radiance suddenly soared into the sky, revealing seven precious pearl relics. The relics emitted a cold, endless radiance, I'm gonna kill you!

He stared at the multicolored radiance, like glass reflecting a dreamlike glow under the sun, and slowly stood up.

He knew he couldn't stay immersed in the dream any longer.

Because he understood that he had already...

"I've broken through!"

Li Che gazed at the multicolored glow and slowly stepped out of the courtyard.

He knew he had transformed.

But what level had he reached?

Li Che wasn't sure.

However, he was certain he had transformed.

The transformation meant he had...

"I will kill you!!"

Li Che abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

Xi Xi obtained a true butterfly in the Divine Tower within the Golden Bodhimanda. Previously, when appraising it for Nan Lihuo and the others, it was said to be a spiritual divine beast.

However, upon further inspection, this butterfly might be part of the Heavenly King Pagoda Temple Deity's plan!

But this possibility doesn't seem too high.

Li Che narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

Could this butterfly be related to the Dream Butterfly? But soon, Li Che became clear-headed again. What could this butterfly have to do with the Divine Technique Embryo derived from his Dharmic Fruit? Could it be that he had traveled back from the future and left a butterfly by Xi Xi's side? Li Che shook his head with a smile, feeling a bit superstitious.

A slight movement stirred in his heart.

Within his chest, the Dharmic Fruit of the Dream Heavenly Master throbbed. With each throb, it was as if... a butterfly had flapped its wings once!

Divine Technique Embryo (Dream Heavenly Master - Dream Butterfly): Who Awakens from the Great Dream, Butterfly Flapping Wings, Dharmic Fruit Transformation, Time Dreaming

A flowing golden introduction slowly unfolded before Li Che's eyes.

Basically, every appearance of a Divine Technique Embryo is accompanied by an introduction, and from this introduction, one can glimpse the ability of the Divine Technique Embryo.

However, this time, Li Che was extremely confused and couldn't seem to understand it at all.

The Divine Technique Embryo is derived from the Dharmic Fruit and is inherently related to the Dharmic Fruit itself.

The basic ability of the Dream Heavenly Master is to construct dreams, connect with other Dharmic Fruits, and even use the power of the Dharmic Fruit as a bridge to send it out.

But this time, the prompt for the Divine Technique Embryo left Li Che completely baffled.

Dharmic Fruit transformation, time dreaming?

Could it be... that triggering this Divine Technique Embryo requires the Dharmic Fruit to undergo another transformation? Li Che felt something was amiss...

If the Dharmic Fruit transforms again, wouldn't it awaken a divine technique?

This seems a bit contradictory.

Li Che furrowed his brows.

However.

The next moment, Li Che's body hair stood on end, unable to suppress the sensation of piercing coldness!

With his current Martial Saint physique, tempered to the extreme by the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dharmic Fruit, he felt an uncontrollable chill at this moment.

It was as if an invisible deity had transcended time and space, casting a pair of boundlessly cold eyes upon him.

It was a...

Extremely cold gaze, devoid of emotion, icy to the extreme, freezing his heart!

Li Che felt as if his soul had completely stagnated at this moment.

Suddenly.

Li Che saw multicolored light, flickering and shimmering. Under the perception of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, he saw...

Himself sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, with a multicolored butterfly slowly landing on his head, fluttering its wings gently.

With each flap, multicolored dust seemed to fall like rain.

Li Che felt everything before his eyes becoming hazy.

He seemed to...

Fall asleep.

His breathing was calm and steady.

The butterfly flapped its wings, and at the other end of time and space, ripples seemed to appear, reflecting an unseen life.

The ripples spread, covering Li Che, who was in a state of deep slumber.

...

...

The cloud canopy tore open, and the winding smoke slowly dissipated.

The butterfly flapped its wings, flying with all its might. The airflow it created surged beneath its wings, lifting its small body up and down.

However, despite the butterfly's continuous flapping, its body moved up and down, but the scene became clear without any shaking or swaying.

Li Che was astonished to discover that he had transformed into a gracefully fluttering butterfly.

His body felt light, but he couldn't control it; he could only observe through his vision.

The butterfly flew over the vast ocean, crossed the Milky Way, and scattered multicolored dust, as if melting time and space.

As the butterfly continued to fly,

Li Che finally saw the distant scene clearly.

He saw a towering golden temple rising from the ground, spanning the heavens and earth. It was so enormous that it seemed to pierce through the sky and earth, with countless Buddha lights shining forth, like one blazing sun after another! And within that endless, dazzling golden Buddha light,

There was a pitch-black darkness, too conspicuous in the brilliant golden light.

Li Che, in the butterfly's perspective, flapped his wings and approached.

As he got closer, he finally saw the darkness clearly.

It was a graceful figure with jet-black hair that was extremely long, flowing like a waterfall, cascading down to her thighs, like a cape, gently fluttering.

She wore a black silk dress, which fluttered in the wind. She was like a black lotus blooming in the netherworld, with a hint of burning flame, scorching and distorting the surrounding void, creating cracks in the void that devoured the Buddha light, forming an extreme darkness around her!

The woman raised her hand, her skin pale and cold, as if bloodless, with a faint glow. She held a jet-black sword in her hand.

"Witch!!!"

It was as if a spring thunder had burst forth, like the voices of countless ancient Buddhas chanting in unison, resembling the sound of an explosion in the ten-thousand-foot-high sky.

On the golden temple, it seemed to be carved with countless Buddha statues, each with a different posture.

They all glared down, focusing on that streak of darkness amidst the endless Buddha light.

However, Li Che, seeing through the butterfly's perspective, felt that these Buddha statues had a hint of fear in their eyes, as if a bit of ink-like fear was spreading.

The woman slowly raised her head, her eyes as dark and deep as black dates, devoid of any emotion.

Scanning the myriad Buddhas, her cold expression remained unchanged as she slowly raised the sword in her hand.

With graceful strides, she moved towards a black void, as if her steps caused it to shift amidst the boundless Buddha light.

The Buddha light couldn't suppress her in the slightest.

She climbed the first set of stairs of the ancient temple, causing it to bleed. The blood of the Buddhas flowed down, staining the ground red.

Li Che, transformed into a butterfly, flapped its wings and followed the woman.

The woman was incredibly domineering, ascending to the top of the ancient temple as if it were a leisurely stroll.

Countless Buddhas came one after another, with golden dragons soaring, Buddha palms swirling, and Buddha chants echoing...

Yet, in the woman's presence, they were all just a sword's length away.

Blood-red water dyed the temple's golden stairs, and every Buddha in the niches was caught in the sword's light, their lives cut short.

Through the butterfly's eyes, Li Che witnessed the fall of a sacred Buddhist land.

As the battle reached its climax, the Buddhas began to flee in terror, no longer daring to fight. They abandoned resistance, allowing the witch to ravage their holy land.

Her long, black hair, like a black cape, billowed slightly in the wind.

The woman reached the top of the ancient temple.

There, she saw a lotus pond with countless golden flames dancing within, as if they had transformed into shackles, entangling a black lotus.

The woman reached out and plucked the black lotus from the pond.

She also picked up several dark black lotus roots.

Patting the roots, she held the sword in one hand and the black lotus and burning flames in the other.

Finally, at the peak of the crumbling temple, the woman turned around.

The Buddha chants reverberated, and in the golden sky, a colossal Buddha slowly emerged.

Below the temple, countless creatures knelt densely, including commoners in luxurious clothing, beggars in tattered rags, pregnant women, and elderly women with trembling hands...

The multitude of people resembled black ants, devoutly kneeling on the ground, bowing and kowtowing, pleading with the woman to spare the black lotus and roots.

The giant golden Buddha seemed to gaze down from beyond the heavens, slowly opening its slender eyes.

Standing atop the fallen temple, the woman's expressionless face finally revealed a hint of emotion.

Scanning the countless kneeling people, a mocking smile curled her lips.

The butterfly landed on the woman's shoulder, its wings fluttering against her fluttering black skirt.

Then, Li Che saw the woman with the mocking smile slowly extend her sword.

Everything shattered.

The golden Buddha in the sky was torn apart by the sword, its fragments scattering.

Like a golden firework, the sword's light swept through the kneeling crowds, extending to the unseen horizon, exploding them into blood-red flowers in the golden world.

The entire world became a wasteland of death, with mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, the stench of death rising.

The woman stood atop the temple, amidst the scene of bloody wind and rain, her black skirt billowing like a lotus from hell blooming in the golden realm.

Holding the black lotus and roots, she whispered softly.

The butterfly on her shoulder seemed to hear her words.

"Do you seek the Buddha, or me?"

"You seek me..."

"Then who do I seek?"

Without a glance at the sea of corpses and blood, she tucked away the lotus and roots, rubbing her stomach.

"I'm hungry."

...

...

A deep hum resonated.

"Huff!"

Li Che's eyes snapped open, and within his pupils, a sense of chaos stirred.

Thick snow piled on his body, shaking off in clumps.

He had been buried in deep snow, like a snowman.

As consciousness returned, he moved, causing the snow to explode. Li Che stood, his black robe fluttering, and his jet-black hair crackling like black lightning.

"That was..."

Confusion clouded Li Che's eyes.

Recalling the scene, he exhaled.

"Xi Xi?"

The woman with the sleek black hair, reaching her thighs, was none other than the woman from the owner's dream, the one who came for a bowl of noodles and two salted eggs.

Could it be... grown-up Xi Xi?

Li Che's heart grew heavy.

Expressionless, cold and distant, she exuded an aura of 'no entry,' as if she had wrapped herself in a cocoon of coldness for protection.

Only in moments of unintentional softness did her inner warmth reveal itself.

A stark contrast to the happy Xi Xi..."

"Is it really another world's Xi Xi?"

"Or perhaps... the future Xi Xi?"

Li Che furrowed his brows, the blood connection confirming the woman's identity.

But if it were the future...

Where was he, Li Che?

Xi Xi had encountered something that caused her to withdraw from the world, wrapping herself tightly and resisting everything around her.

Li Che's eyes flickered with anxiety and longing.

He wanted to dream-walk through time and space again, flapping his wings to see his daughter in the future.

But Li Che gradually calmed down.

With the Dao fruit's transformation, he could dream-walk through time and space...

In other words, to see his grown-up daughter again, he might need the Dream Heavenly Master's Dao fruit to undergo another transformation!

Li Che slowly regained his composure and walked through the courtyard, sitting under the eaves.

The north wind howled, and snowflakes danced in the air.

Li Che sat under the eaves, his eyes gradually becoming focused.

"A bunch of bald donkeys, daring to bully my daughter... Even in my dreams, it's unacceptable!"

Although Xi Xi had slaughtered that ancient temple and killed countless Buddhas,

And even annihilated an entire realm,

Li Che felt that it was definitely the fault of those Buddhas!

"You beg me, but who do I beg?"

Muttering the words he had heard, Li Che felt his heart wrench, and he exhaled slowly.

"My daughter... doesn't need to beg anyone."

"No need."

Li Che clenched his fists.

"I must become stronger... much stronger."

"My current strength is far from enough."

Boom!!!

Suddenly, Li Che lifted his head and looked towards the direction of the True Martial Divine Sect's mountain gate.

He saw a spinning golden pagoda.

The Seven Treasures Dharmaraja Pagoda! It was one of the five ancient temples located within the True Martial Divine Sect's mountain gate.

One of the three remaining Heavenly King Pagodas!

Another temple, located in the Divine Capital, was of the Fourth Tier Rank...

"What are you angry about?"

"Are you angry that the Heavenly King Pagoda, which divided the Jin Guang Sect, was struck by me and suppressed by my Summoning Spirit Power?"

Li Che gazed at the golden, flashing pagoda, now suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Inscription. He muttered,

"Don't be angry, it'll soon be your turn."

Li Che sat under the eaves, speaking calmly.

His mind stirred slightly.

He sank into the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

Within the utterly tranquil chessboard, he saw a treasure pagoda being suppressed, its Pure Heart Spirit locked in place like a shackle.

"A Sixth Rank Temple Deity..."

Li Che's primordial spirit hovered, and his five fingers spread wide.

The next moment...

Within the Brain Vessel's inner landscape.

Like a beating heart, a Seven Emotions and Six Desires Golden Core suddenly appeared in the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

Inside the Golden Core, the Spirit Bright True Ape opened its eyes and pressed itself against the core's wall, reflecting its true ape-like face!

With a roar, the Summoning Spirit Power assisted in slowly pulling and penetrating the Sixth Rank treasure pagoda through the Golden Core's wall.

Once pulled into the Golden Core, the pagoda was slowly devoured by the Spirit Bright True Ape.

Creak, creak...

A chilling sound echoed within the tranquil Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

...

...

Rolling Lead Clouds, Flying Snow Stretching!

Howling endlessly, Wild Gale!

Deep within Thunder Listening Lane.

The orange-yellow dim light illuminated a small area, emitting a mesmerizing glow.

The falling snowflakes were as large as hands but disappeared without a trace upon reaching the ground.

In front of the restaurant, a large, fat black dog lay lazily.

The owner, dressed in white, was as pure as the snow.

He sat in a chair, exuding laziness, carefully rolling tobacco leaves into a slender cigarette.

His every move was solemn and meticulous, as if he were learning to roll cigarettes for the first time.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

He tapped the cigarette on the back of his hand and then placed it between his lips, lighting it.

He held the cigarette between two fingers but didn't take a puff, just staring at it.

The cigarette smoke curled, blending with the dim orange-yellow light.

The man and his dog seemed out of place in this world.

Suddenly, the black dog's nose twitched, and its eyes widened in surprise. It sprang up from the ground, shaking the entire earth.

The dog turned its head towards the owner, its nose quivering, and its dark eyes filled with disbelief.

That scent...

That scent!

The dog was certain it had smelled it correctly!

Excited, the dog wagged its tail vigorously, its barks threatening to shatter the air.

The owner's expressionless face twitched slightly, and his eyes brightened as he turned towards the dark depths of Thunder Listening Lane.

A figure, stepping on the snow, approached with a creaking sound.

In a daze, the owner thought he saw a black lotus.

But when he looked again, he realized it was Li Che, dressed in ink-black robes, emerging from the darkness.

The owner's hand holding the cigarette trembled, and the ash fell, scattering in the wind.
