Chapter 327: Pure Martial Path Interrupted, Above the Martial Saint, Venerable Dragon King's Dog, Ya
Chapter 327: Pure Martial Path Interrupted, Above the Martial Saint, Venerable Dragon King's Dog, Ya Ji's Sacrifice [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 2)
Both his Martial Path and divine path were just a step away from breakthrough. At first, Li Che was quite anxious.
But the more anxious he became, the more it affected his progress.
In his regular life, Li Che gradually calmed down.
Cultivation, reading, carving, and researching the half-step supreme automaton beast...
Everything was progressing in an orderly manner.
Closing the book in his hands, Li Che, dressed in a black robe, stretched lazily.
Before him, a stream of light flashed by.
...

【Prompt: For each year a bonded person grows safely, the Dao Tree can bear one Dao Fruit】
...
The various levels of maturity of the Dao Fruits flashed before his eyes.
All the Dao Fruits had improved to varying degrees, making Li Che feel quite pleased, like a diligent and honest farmer looking forward to a bountiful harvest.
Although the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit's maturity had slowed after reaching lv5, the study of the blueprints provided by Tang Xie for the supreme automaton beast was slowly increasing its maturity.
As for the half-step supreme automaton beast, the Twin-Winged Little Dragon King, Li Che had even begun to refine the mechanical parts, though compared to the Blood Sun Nine Divine Vajra Ape, the parts were more numerous, more intricate, and required higher quality materials and more advanced mechanical imprints!
The other Dao Fruits had also improved under various enhancements.
For example, after Su Daolin mastered the drawing of the Little Divine Heaven Thunder Talisman, Li Che's progress in the Lightning Magnetic Body had significantly increased, and he was about to reach lv4, achieving the second transformation.
"Are you preparing to set off?"
Fang Hanshu, sitting in a bamboo chair, saw Li Che close his book and stand up. He stroked his beard and smiled.
Li Che nodded gently, the Sect Master has already prepared the ship, and we should set off.
"The distance from the Lingnan Dao to the Divine Capital is quite far, but the founding emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty recruited several Divine Embryo Great Realists from various divine sects to excavate a grand canal connecting the north and south, facilitating trade and strengthening the nation."
"This grand canal has significantly shortened the journey from Lingnan Dao to the Divine Capital and tightened the Divine Capital's control over the southern regions."
Riding the nine-layered Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood grand ship of the Heavenly Origin Dao City, they journeyed north along the Grand Canal. In about half a month or so, they would reach the Divine Capital.
"Otherwise, Lingnan Road is full of mountain paths, relying solely on the dragon-drawn carriage and with the bad weather, it might waste a lot of time."
Li Che bowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Elder Fang, for the tea and books during these days."
Fang Hanshu stroked his beard, smiling, "There's nothing to thank me for. Having someone to read with makes it more enjoyable."
Li Che smiled and bid farewell to Fang Hanshu.
"Strive for the Peach Blossom Festival, the peaches can prolong life... It's quite a good thing."
Fang Hanshu stood up and spoke from under the eaves.
"Oh right, Elder Li, there's one more thing..."
Li Che looked at him, puzzled.
"You, are now a Divine Carving Demi-Saint. Upon reaching the Divine Capital, you can go to the Celestial Surveillance Office's headquarters and get evaluated for an Extraordinary Guest Scholar identity. Being a First-Class Guest Scholar might not mean much, but an Extraordinary Guest Scholar is different."
"If you become an Extraordinary Guest Scholar, even if it's just a title, you'll be considered a member of the Celestial Surveillance Office. With this title, you'll have some safety assurance in the Divine Capital."
Li Che was taken aback.
Extraordinary Guest Scholar...
Indeed, he hadn't thought of this, but Fang Hanshu's words were quite accurate.
Heading to the Divine Capital, if he could secure the title of an Extraordinary Guest Scholar, it would indeed make things much more convenient.
Without further delay, Li Che left the Bamboo Book Tower.
He returned to the Elder's Court in the Disciple City.
The courtyard was bustling with excitement.
Many children gathered at the entrance, chattering incessantly, some crying, reluctant to part with Xixi as they bid her farewell.
People like Gong Yuanliang and Gong Yangyu, due to their inadequate talents, didn't get the opportunity to accompany Xixi on her journey to the Divine Capital.
Their eyes reddened, feeling helpless and unable to follow Xixi on her grand expedition, they could only watch as Xixi hugged each childlike faces flushed with excitement, witnessing Xixi's departure.
When Li Che returned, he saw this scene and felt a twinge of unhappiness.
But upon seeing Li Che, Xixi ran to him, calling out, "Daddy," and flew into his arms, instantly cheering him up.
Li Che hugged Xixi, and Zhang Ya, who had packed her travel bag, emerged from the house.
Li Qingshan and Mu PoPo had also prepared their travel bags, intending to accompany them.
With Li Che's current status, bringing a few people along wasn't an issue.
"I plan to take you, Mu PoPo, to the Divine Capital to see the world... Speaking of which, when we trained back then, we never went to the Divine Capital. It's too far, and the journey is too dangerous."
"The Grand Divine Capital, known as the center of the Grand Divine Realm, boasts the Three Purities rank Deceptive Temple and is filled with powerful cultivators. It's the place all cultivators yearn to visit."
Li Qingshan held Mu PoPo's waist, his eyes glimmering.
Old Chen didn't plan to go to the Divine Capital. Despite Xixi's earnest invitation, he smiled and waved it off, "My strength is weak, so I won't join your adventure... The Divine Capital is great, but I'll stay in the Dao City. I await your good news, hoping that both of you, father and daughter, will shine at the Peach Blossom Festival and return with the peaches!"
Old Chen rubbed Xixi's head as she hugged his thigh, her eyes filled with warmth.
Looking at the little girl who once needed his protection in her infancy, he realized how much she had grown, becoming more lively and intelligent, which made him incredibly happy.
Great Uncle and Great Aunt's family also came to see Li Che and Xixi off, and of course, to bid farewell to Li Che.
Nie Yang waited outside, holding his sword, eyes closed in meditation.
Li Chengzhou was pulled away by her parents, expressing their parting sentiments.
"We're off, little partners!"
On the carriage shaft, Xixi sat with Jin Taishui, who also sat on the shaft.
Gong Yangxu and others waved goodbye.
The carriage set off, heading towards the foot of the mountain, passing by the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's gate and its Heaven and Earth plaque.
Several lavish carriages had already gathered there.
This was the group that the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect was about to send to the Divine Capital to participate in the Peach Blossom Festival.
As soon as Xixi arrived, she saw Yun E, wearing a fox-fur coat and holding a chubby little rabbit, and Zhou Peng, who always stuck by Yun E's side, looking even chubbier, his whole person seemed to have gained another layer of fat.
The young disciples from the Dragon Embryo List were also going together.
Since Xixi topped the list, it had never been empty. The subsequent list included Lu Qingxuan, Yang Yi, Yun E, Zhou Peng, Chi Chengyan, and Zhuo Banxiang, among other young disciples.
They were all going to participate in the Dragon Embryo Contest within the Peach Blossom Festival, competing with young disciples from the other eleven Divine Sects.
Thus, Lu Qingxuan and Yang Yi's eyes shone with fighting spirit.
Lu Tai Bai set up an altar under the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Heaven and Earth plaque, offering a simple tribute to the Ancestor before entering the carriage and drawing the curtain.
Apart from Lu Tai Bai, the leading Inner Sect Elder was Second Elder Zhao Fang Zhou, known for his fiery temper, explosive strength, and competitive spirit, making him the most suitable Elder to lead the team.
This wasn't Zhao Fang Zhou's first time leading a team, either.
The dragon-drawn carriage neighed, kicking up snow as it moved.
The wheels of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's carriage rumbled as it entered the Heavenly Origin Dao City, heading towards the dock on the Heavenly Origin Great River within the city.
At the dock, a nine-layered Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood grand ship was already docked, a colossal sight. The ship had a nine-story building with upturned eaves and intricate carvings, a stunning and awe-inspiring sight!
The Sect Master Yue Huanglong, wearing a crane cloak, smiled as he organized the workers on the dock, sending the young disciples from various noble families onto the Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood grand ship.
As the Great Yuan Divine Sect's convoy approached, Yue Huanglong's eyes flashed with a sharp and wary glint, having mostly holed himself up in the City Lord's Mansion for the past month, afraid to show his face, extremely vigilant, fearing Lu Tai Bai would directly seek him out for trouble.
Li Che lifted the curtain, holding Xi Xi as he helped her down from the carriage, while his other hand held Zhang Ya's.
"Li Half-Saint, on this journey to the Divine Capital, you must be careful... You're the treasure of the Heavenly Origin Dao City, a Divine Carving Demi-Saint. It's so difficult to have another Divine Carving Demi-Saint emerge from the Heavenly Origin Dao City..."
Yue Huanglong smiled at Li Che and greeted him. Li Che, with his gentle and refined demeanor, seemed harmless.
However, Li Che harbored intense murderous intent towards Yue Huanglong in his heart, as the man's actions were far from humane.
The Su family was slaughtered, and Yue Huanglong showed no mercy, even smearing the Netherworld with filth...
This man's name was still recorded in the Book of Life and Death.
Nevertheless, Yue Huanglong was extremely powerful. According to Li Che's assessment, he was a top-tier Absolute Apex cultivator, not quite on par with Lu Tai Bai, who was ranked at the Heavenly Gate's Absolute Apex, but still incredibly formidable.
Furthermore, as the Dao City Lord, residing within the city, he had the support of the city's Divine Essence Grand Formation, possessing numerous means. Li Che wasn't in a hurry to make his move; he was waiting for his cultivation to reach a breakthrough.
The group boarded the Yellow Dragon Ship, their first time on this vessel. Xi Xi, excited, led a group of children from the bow to the stern, then back again, full of energy and curiosity.
Li Che and Zhang Ya began making the bed in the cabin, knowing that with the Yellow Dragon Ship, they would reach the Divine Capital in half a month, sailing along the Grand Canal.
But half a month was still a significant amount of time.
"Set sail—!"
On the deck, the captain, a Great Master cultivator, let out a long, resounding whistle.
The sails unfurled, and the north wind howled, causing the ship to slowly depart from the dock, breaking through the surging waters of the Heaven and Earth Grand River, as the ship set towards the Divine Capital, sailing along the Grand Canal.
On the nine-layered Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Ship, the group gathered at the railing, gazing into the distance.
Li Qingshan accompanied Mu Baba, sitting in a chair, admiring the picturesque scenery.
Zhang Ya held Li Che's arm, her head leaning on his shoulder, a satisfied smile on her lips.
She wanted to accompany her husband and daughter...
To travel across mountains and rivers, continuing on their journey.
...
...
Yue Huanglong stood on the damp dock, his hands clasped behind his back, wearing a crane cloak. By his side was Yan Jing, the Grand Marshal of the Divine Guard Army, a Peak of Qi Sea cultivator.
"Finally, we're off... It's a pity that Lu Tai Bai is leading the team personally. Otherwise, if the Great Yuan Divine Sect's convoy were to be buried at the bottom of the Grand Canal, with the Venerable Dragon King... on the water, even Lu Tai Bai would face a headache."
Yue Huanglong rubbed his plump palm.
"Prepare, let's go see the excitement..."
"If we can pick up a loose end, that would be best. The Great Yuan Divine Sect has Lu Tai Bai, and now there's also Li Nuan Xi..."
"Let others live or not..."
"This official position is truly difficult."
Yue Huanglong spoke to Yan Jing.
As his words ended, the crane cloak fluttered, and he strode towards the Dao City Lord's Mansion.
...
...
The nine-layered Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Ship.
Li Che stood with Zhang Ya on the deck, his eyes filled with countless crisscrossing lines.
After a while, his gaze gradually solidified, and he retracted the silent Heavenly Earth Chessboard that enveloped the dock.
He looked out, the grand river surging, the river wind blowing, her black hair fluttering in the void.
Li Che's eyes turning cold.
"Yue Huanglong and..."
"Dragon God Clan..."
"Venerable Dragon King?"
...
...
Thunder Listening Lane.
In the restaurant, a dim orange light illuminated the scene.
The boss sat in a chair, one leg crossed over the other, two fingers holding a cigarette, the smoke curling upwards.
The cigarette burned out.
The boss, in white, slowly stood up, brushing off the ash on his clothes.
He stretched lazily, then stepped out of the restaurant.
The big black dog quickly followed.
Man and dog, one in black, one in white, merged into the snowstorm. The restaurant, lit by the dim orange light, slowly became transparent, gradually disappearing...
As if it had never existed.
Deep in the alley, a lazy voice drifted through the snowstorm.
"Don't panic."
"Just a Venerable Dragon King."
"Dog, let's go get some food."
...
Just woke up, the sky fell, Old Li wrote this chapter until almost 5 AM, and it didn't send... Numb, quickly sending it out, two chapters as usual... Old Li will eat breakfast and lunch, then write, end of the month, everyone's accumulated monthly tickets can be cast, Old Li thanks you!
