Chapter 335: Six Years of Cultivation, Nurturing the Divine Embryo, Imperial Prince's Proposal and the Carpenter's Daughter (Part 2)
Saying five might be an exaggeration, but there should be no significant side effects from exploding two or three Celestial Seeds...
It should be manageable.
Therefore, if the opponent could also explode Celestial Seeds, breaking free from the shackles of the human body...
Li Che's advantage would be nullified.
Ultimately, it all came down to having sufficient personal cultivation...
Li Che had just stepped into the Qi Sea Realm and was only at the second level of the Martial Saint Realm, still far from the top-tier powerhouses...
There was still much room for improvement! As for those top-tier powerhouses, unless they broke through to the Divine Tribulation or Martial Deity Realm, there was no...
There was no room for further advancement!
"It's normal for him to be strong. The Heavenly Gate and the Divine Spectrum are ranked by the Chief Astronomer, whose cultivation might have already reached the Divine Tribulation Realm..."
Lu Tai Bai spoke in a low voice.
Li Che's hand holding the teacup paused abruptly, and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
"Divine Tribulation?!"
"But wasn't it said that there are no Divine Tribulation powerhouses in this era?"
Fang Hanshu had once informed Li Che that Divine Tribulation powerhouses... couldn't exist in the present world.
Divine Tribulation powerhouses, upon reaching the Divine Tribulation, must face the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations. Although their lifespan could be significantly extended, facing these tribulations was not something that could be overcome by a long lifespan alone.
Each time they confronted the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, it was a life-or-death struggle, with the danger of falling.
Therefore, Divine Tribulation powerhouses would create Minor Inner Worlds to evade the tribulations.
However, Divine Tribulation powerhouses couldn't hide in their Minor Inner Worlds all the time, as their cultivation would stagnate, leading to a slow death.
Consequently, Divine Tribulation powerhouses would typically seek refuge in the Four Virtues or the mysterious Wicked Pavilion of the Three-Eyed Temple, where they could cultivate divine energy and evade the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
"It's just a guess... Moreover, Divine Tribulation powerhouses aren't entirely unable to act and move in the present world."
Lu Tai Bai smiled as he spoke.
"Techniques like the Three Incarnations of Lingyin Temple and the Heavenly King Incarnation of Ji Maoli are prepared to enable them to act in the present world after evading tribulations."
Lu Tai Bai's expression turned slightly solemn.
Li Che was taken aback upon hearing this, as he genuinely didn't know about it.
"Speaking of which, the rankings set by the Chief Astronomer are generally quite accurate... So, Ji Maoli's strength might indeed surpass mine. Even if I have a trump card, Ji Maoli will likely have one as well."
"Unless we engage in a life-and-death battle, neither of us can know the other's trump card."
When Lu Tai Bai mentioned Ji Maoli, his expression became extremely solemn.
Li Che took a deep breath, and the solemnity in his eyes intensified.
"Sect Master, Ji Maoli wants to kill me."
Li Che spoke in a low voice.
Lu Tai Bai was startled.
"Why?"
Li Che exhaled, "No reason is needed."
"However, it might be related to the incident at the Golden Light Mansion. Ji Haihui... did indeed die by my hands."
"The Divine Monkey killed Xue Dufu and Ji Haihui. During the summoned deity's power, I even suppressed his attempt to descend as the Heavenly King Incarnation..."
Li Che spoke calmly.
Lu Tai Bai's expression turned blank.
What cultivation level did Li Che have when he was at the Golden Light Mansion? He was probably just a Grandmaster.
At the Grandmaster level, he dared to disrupt the plans and calculations of the Pacifier of Turmoil.
This was truly daring!
"In the Divine Capital, you can rest assured about safety concerns. Even if Ji Maoli wants to kill you... he wouldn't dare to do it openly, let alone act recklessly. After all, in the Divine Capital, Ji Maoli wouldn't dare to disregard the rules."
"He hasn't reached the level where he can ignore the rules."
Lu Tai Bai offered a word of comfort.
Li Che softly hummed in agreement, but he couldn't completely relax. After all, although Ji Maoli wouldn't dare to ignore the rules, once he put on the Hunter Temple's assassin mask, sometimes the rules no longer applied...
As for the top experts in the Divine Capital, whether they would act for Ji Maoli's family when he disregards everything and becomes an assassin, that was still unknown.
Li Che didn't dare to place his hopes on these people.
Even...
Lu Tai Bai and Li Che didn't have too much hope.
After all, Lu Tai Bai was Lu Tai Bai...
He wasn't Li Che's Bind Spirit.
...
...
In a luxurious mansion.
Lu Chi stood respectfully beside a graceful and elegant woman, holding a cup of green porcelain tea with a reverent expression.
"Mother, please have some tea."
Lu Chi's face was expressionless, but he spoke with reverence.
"Judging by the time, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's treasure ship should be reaching the Divine Capital soon, right?"
The graceful woman's slender fingers took the teacup and saucer, gently caressing them.
"Hm, probably in about two more days."
"The journey from Lingnan Road to the Divine Capital, traveling along the Grand Canal, takes about fifteen days."
Lu Chi confirmed.
Mo Lao also stood at a distance, showing respect. After all, the woman before them was Lu Chi's biological mother, Ji Yan, the most favored concubine of the Grand Vision Emperor.
She came from the third-ranked ancient family in the Divine Capital, the Ji Family.
Her status and position were extraordinary.
Similarly, Ji Yan was not only Lu Chi's birth mother but also the mother of the third prince. Usually, Ji Yan rarely appeared at Lu Chi's residence, but recently she had been visiting frequently.
Mo Lao's eyes narrowed, feeling perplexed.
But remembering the Grand Diviner's instructions, he didn't dwell on it further.
"That's good... This palace has sent people to wait at the wharf outside the Ninth City of the Divine Capital. As soon as the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's treasure ship arrives, we will set off. Your mother has prepared everything for you."
Noble Consort Ji blew away the steam from the teacup with her red lips.
Lu Chi's eyes flashed with bewilderment, "Mother... what have you prepared for your child?"
However, Noble Consort Ji didn't even glance at Lu Chi. She took a sip of the hot tea, her eyebrows furrowed, and then she spat it back into the teacup, speaking indifferently.
"To propose a marriage."
Even Lu Chi, who had cut off his emotions, couldn't help but feel his eyes narrowing in surprise after hearing this.
Mo Lao, who was standing far away, also raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Propose a marriage? To whom...?"
"Naturally, to the little carpenter from Thunderbolt City..."
"Chi'er, you quite like that carpenter's daughter, even though she's the personal disciple of Lu Tai Bai. But as the prince, you're not inferior... By arranging this marriage, you can also gain the support of Lu Tai Bai, that pillar of support."
Noble Consort Ji spoke calmly.
"As for her being from a carpenter's family... it's not that big of a deal."
"To become a royal relative..."
"One can only say he has a good daughter."
...
...
After bidding farewell to Lu Tai Bai, Li Che arrived at a pavilion where Zhao Fang Zhou and Grand Diviner Hong Shi Fo were playing chess.
When Li Che appeared, Grand Diviner Hong Shi Fo's eyes narrowed slightly, excitedly inviting him to join.
"Li Bansheng, care to play a game?"
Zhao Fang Zhou, hearing that someone was taking over, immediately threw down the chess pieces in frustration and left his seat.
Finally, freedom!
Li Che smiled and sat down in the chair, picking up the chess pieces from the box and playing against Hong Shi Fo.
With the Chess Sage Dao Fruit, Li Che could instantly master any chess skill.
The level 5 Chess Sage Dao Fruit made Li Che's chess skills extremely exquisite.
After playing for a while, Hong Shi Fo's face turned pitch black. Playing against Li Che was even more difficult and hopeless than playing against Xi Xi.
At least Xi Xi could defeat him quickly.
But Li Che was different. He tormented Hong Shi Fo, neither winning nor letting him win or lose.
Li Che seemed even more of a National Champion than a National Champion. Even when playing Five Stones Chess, each of his moves was clearly calculated and anticipated.
This was no fun at all.
Hong Shi Fo was about to flip the chessboard, but Li Che stopped him.
"Grand Diviner, I have a request."
Li Che smiled.
Hong Shi Fo lifted the chessboard but didn't flip it, his face twitching, "Since it's a request, then don't bother asking."
Li Che chuckled, "I hope that when we enter the Divine Capital, you can introduce me and help me obtain the qualification for the Special Guest Scholar Examination as soon as possible."
Li Che said with a smile.
Hearing this, Hong Shi Fo exhaled in relief. It wasn't too difficult a request.
After all, Li Che was also going to participate in the Special Guest Scholar Examination upon entering the Divine Capital.
This favor was like a smooth sailing boat. Why not do it?
He stroked his beard and smiled, "That's easy. Li Bansheng is the Divine Crane Half-Sage, so you can skip the First-Class Guest Scholar Examination and directly take the Special Guest Scholar Examination. That's the benefit of being the Divine Crane Half-Sage."
"If not, I still have some connections in the Divine Capital. I can help you prepare for the Special Guest Scholar Examination early."
Hong Shi Fo came from the Hong Family in the Divine Capital, an ancient family that had witnessed the rise and fall of the world for countless years. Although they weren't as powerful as the Gongshu Family, they were still quite influential.
He had some connections.
Hearing this, Li Che stopped playing chess and bowed in gratitude.
(End of Chapter)
In the vast capital city of the Divine Capital, Li Che had garnered the attention of Hong Shifo, who saw potential in him. However, becoming a Special Guest Scholar was no easy feat; it required a lengthy application and screening process, which could take months to finalize.
For the Heaven Forecasting Bureau, the Special Guest Scholar examination was a significant matter. Each examination was unique, requiring advance preparation.
Li Che had recently encountered Ji Maoli, whose icy and uninhibited killing intent left Li Che eager to take action. Ji Maoli seemed to act without evidence, making Li Che's desire to confront him even more urgent.
Xixi, Lu Tai Bai's direct disciple, held a status that could intimidate others. However, it had little effect on Ji Maoli, given their conflicting relationship. Ji Maoli even seemed to enjoy the idea of killing Xixi to affect Lu Tai Bai's state of mind.
Li Che decided to become a Special Guest Scholar as soon as possible, even if it meant drawing attention to himself. He wanted to make a bold move to deter Ji Maoli.
Only by making a grand gesture could he attract the attention of powerful individuals in the Divine Capital and make Ji Maoli hesitate.
Standing at the balcony, Li Che gazed at the misty river below, his hands resting on the railing. Within his Niwan Palace, it felt like ancient bells were resonating, their vibrations spreading.
Li Che's physical body had become incredibly powerful, giving him a chance to reach the Divine Embryo Supreme Deity realm. However, having just broken through to the Martial Saint realm, he needed to consolidate his cultivation and wasn't in a rush to advance to the Divine Embryo Supreme Deity realm.
Additionally, he still needed to absorb the Summoned Deity Power he had sealed within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
Li Che's Divine Essence Golden Core had already reached the perfection of the Fetal Breathing Transformation, but he hadn't yet touched upon the transformation of the Divine Embryo.
After an intense confrontation, Li Che felt that the Law of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Bright True Ape Divine Essence Golden Core within his Niwan Palace had reached its peak.
It was time...
To step into the Divine Embryo realm!
"To become a Special Guest Scholar of the Heaven Forecasting Bureau, one's Divine Energy cultivation is a crucial measure. I've already demonstrated my Divine Essence Golden Core cultivation, and now, I'm about to break through to the Divine Embryo... it's not that big of a deal."
"A year from Divine Essence to Divine Embryo... is that reasonable?" Li Che smiled.
With this thought, Li Che strolled on the Nine-Layer Yellow Dragon Divine Wood Treasure Ship, eventually reaching the bow.
The ship's bow was slightly raised, with a pointed protrusion.
Sitting at the bow, Li Che's ink-colored robe fluttered in the wind.
In the vastness of heaven and earth, large snowflakes fell like hands.
They gently blanketed Li Che, but an invisible force evaporated them as they touched him.
Inside the ship's cabin, Xixi held Zhang Ya's hand, curiously poking her head out.
During this time, Xixi was delighted because she could see her mother and father every day.
"Mommy, Daddy, what are you doing?" Xixi asked curiously.
Zhang Ya scratched her head, unsure.
However, no one disturbed Li Che.
After all, Li Che's identity as a Divine Crane Half-Saint was not ordinary, and he might be in a state of enlightenment with heaven and earth. Many child prodigies held a sense of reverence for Li Che's Divine Crane Half-Saint status.
It wasn't just the children who were puzzled.
The numerous cultivators on the treasure ship were also perplexed.
Nie Yang, Li Qing Shan, and Zhao Fang Zhou were confused, but they didn't disturb Li Che.
In fact, Nie Yang even took up his sword to protect Li Che.
On the top floor of the ship, Lu Tai Bai strolled out, his silver hair flowing and his wide sleeves fluttering. He looked at Li Che, who was sitting cross-legged at the bow, with a glint in his eyes.
Hong Shifo appeared beside Lu Tai Bai, carrying a chessboard on his back. "Elder Li asked me for help, wanting me to quickly complete the Special Guest Scholar examination for the Heaven Forecasting Bureau... It seems that Ji Maoli has put a lot of pressure on Elder Li."
"Pressure is necessary, especially with Ji Maoli, and he has murderous intent..." Lu Tai Bai spoke calmly.
"What is Li Che trying to do?" Hong Shifo narrowed his eyes, calculating Li Che's intentions.
The next moment, his face twitched: "He's actually..."
Lu Tai Bai's eyebrows rose slightly as he sensed the Divine Energy converging from heaven and earth, clearly understanding Li Che's intentions.
"He's actually trying to... break through to the Divine Embryo realm?!" Lu Tai Bai's eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"Has he gone mad?!"
However, Lu Tai Bai recalled Li Che's martial talent as the Netherworld Monkey, possessing Martial Saint battle prowess.
Perhaps... he really could successfully break through to the Divine Embryo realm? But Lu Tai Bai couldn't help but feel dazed.
According to Li Che's information...
How long had it been since Li Che started cultivating?
From Thunderbolt City to the present...
Six years, from nurturing to the Divine Embryo realm! Even Lu Tai Bai was shocked at this speed.
Wasn't this too fast? Lu Tai Bai fell silent.
Could it be that Li Che was... impatient?
Was he rushing due to the pressure from Ji Maoli? This wasn't good news.
Forcibly breaking through to the Divine Embryo realm, if unsuccessful, could have significant consequences.
However, Li Che had already entered a state of preparation.
Lu Tai Bai couldn't stop him.
Suddenly, Lu Tai Bai smiled: "This is his plan, to make a grand entrance into the Divine Capital, stunning the city with his reputation and making Ji Maoli hesitate."
"Our honest and modest Elder Li is finally going to make a bold move." Lu Tai Bai's wide sleeves fluttered, his eyes gleaming.
"It begins!"
"Cultivating for six years, nurturing the Divine Embryo..."
"A decade of silent cultivation, and in one move, the Divine Embryo is known throughout the world!"
