Chapter 335: Six Years of Cultivation to Nourish the Divine Embryo, Prince Proposes Marriage, Laborer Has a Beautiful Daughter [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 2)
"
Lu Tai Bai took a sip of the tea Li Che had brewed and asked.
"Very strong."
Li Che replied solemnly.
He was indeed very strong. Even though Li Che's strength had significantly improved, thanks to the Dragon Elephant Fusion Furnace, his physical body's carrying capacity had greatly increased, allowing him to ignite six Divine Seeds...
Facing Ji Moli... although he could fight, the chances of winning were less than ten percent.
Mainly because... Li Che couldn’t see through Ji Moli’s true strength. Such a powerful figure’s strength was not something that could be easily imagined.
In fact, although Li Che had killed Yue Huanglong, who briefly reached the top tier of the Absolute Apex after his burst.
Even at the top tier of the Absolute Apex, Yue Huanglong, who had only opened a crack in the Heavenly Gate, still had a gap compared to those who had fully opened the Heavenly Gate.
That gap lay in the dual rankings!
The Heavenly Gate and the Great Deity Spectrum, the ten guardians of the Martial Saint Heavenly Gate, represent the peak of martial arts in Great Jing.
Li Che understood that he still had a gap compared to those ten individuals.
After all, Li Che’s ability to touch the power of the Absolute Apex was due to the burst of the Mystic Seed.
But, could he burst...
Could the others not burst as well?
Li Che didn’t believe that these figures standing at the pinnacle of martial arts couldn’t withstand the impact of igniting two or three Mystic Seeds.
Saying five might be an exaggeration, but igniting two or three Mystic Seeds without significant side effects...
Should be possible.
So, if the other party could also burst the Divine Seeds and break the human body’s shackles...
Li Che’s advantage would be nullified.
Ultimately, he needed to be strong enough in his own cultivation...
Li Che had just entered the Qi Sea realm, with the second opening of the Martial Saint realm, still having a significant gap compared to those top-tier experts...
But there was still a lot of room for improvement!
As for those top-tier experts, unless they broke through to the Divine Tribulation or the Martial Deity realm, otherwise...
What room for improvement did they have?!
"Being strong is normal. The Heavenly Gate and the Great Deity Spectrum... were arranged by the Grand Censor, the chief of the Astronomical Bureau, whose depth is unfathomable. I estimate that his cultivation might have already reached the Divine Tribulation realm..."
Lu Tai Bai said solemnly.
Hearing this, Li Che’s hand paused mid-air while pouring tea, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.
"Divine Tribulation?!"
"Didn’t it say that there are no Divine Tribulation experts in the current world?"
Fang Han Shu had once explained to Li Che that Divine Tribulation experts... could not exist in the present world.
Once cultivation reached the Divine Tribulation realm, one had to face the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations. Although the lifespan of a Divine Tribulation cultivator could be extended significantly, facing the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations was not something that a long lifespan could overcome.
Each confrontation with the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations was a matter of life and death, with the risk of perishing.
Therefore, Divine Tribulation cultivators would create small paradises to avoid the tribulations.
However, Divine Tribulation cultivators could not hide in these small paradises all the time, as that would prevent their cultivation from advancing, leading to a slow death.
Thus, Divine Tribulation cultivators would generally hide in the mysterious depths of the Four Sovereigns or the Three Pures' strange temples, where they could cultivate with divine nature and avoid the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
"It’s just a guess... and Divine Tribulation cultivators are not truly unable to act in the present world."
Lu Tai Bai smiled.
"Like the three incarnations of Little Lingyin Temple, Ji Moli’s Heavenly King Incarnation, and other body duplication techniques, they are all prepared to allow action in the present world after avoiding the tribulations."
Lu Tai Bai’s expression turned slightly serious.
Hearing this, Li Che was taken aback; he had not known this.
"To put it another way, the Great Deity Spectrum and the Heavenly Gate rankings set by the Grand Censor are generally accurate... so Ji Moli’s strength might truly be above mine. Even if I have hidden cards, Ji Moli... will also have hidden cards."
"Unless it’s a life-and-death battle, no one can know each other’s hidden cards."
Lu Tai Bai’s expression was exceptionally solemn when he spoke of Ji Moli.
Li Che took a deep breath, the solemnity in his eyes deepening.
"Sect Master, Ji Moli wants to kill me."
Li Che said solemnly.
Lu Tai Bai was taken aback.
"Why?"
Li Che exhaled again, "No reason needed."
"However, it might be related to the incident at the Golden Light Mansion. Ji Haihui... indeed died at my hands."
"The Divine Monkey killed Xue Dufu and Ji Haihui. When the Temple Deity resonated, I also suppressed his attempt to manifest the Heavenly King Incarnation..."
Li Che said calmly.
Lu Tai Bai's face instantly showed a speechless expression.
What was Li Che's cultivation back when he was in the Golden Light Manor? Perhaps he was just a Grandmaster?
To dare to disrupt the plans and calculations of a powerful figure like the Duke of Pinglun at the Grandmaster level, this is really something!
"This is truly bold and daring!"
"In the Divine Capital, you can still feel safe and secure. Even if Ji Moli wants to kill you... he wouldn't dare to act openly, and wouldn't lightly move, after all, in the Divine Capital, Ji Moli still wouldn't dare to ignore the rules."
"He hasn't reached the level where he can disregard the rules," Lu Tai Bai consoled.
Li Che softly hummed, but he didn't completely relax. After all, even if Ji Moli wouldn't dare to ignore the rules, once he put on the Hunter Monastery's assassin mask, sometimes the rules wouldn't be rules anymore...
As for those top-tier experts in the Divine Capital, whether they would intervene when Ji Moli disregarded everything and transformed into an assassin, was still uncertain.
Li Che didn't dare to place his hopes on these people either.
Even...
Li Che didn’t place much hope in Lu Tai Bai either.
After all, Lu Tai Bai is Lu Tai Bai...
He isn't yet Li Che's divine puppet.
...
...
In the luxurious manor.
Lu Chi, dressed in luxurious attire, stood respectfully beside a graceful and noble woman, holding a cup of hot green tea, with his head lowered and his expression respectful.
"Mother Consort, please have some tea."
Lu Chi's face was expressionless, yet he showed respect.
"Calculating the time, the treasure ship of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect should be approaching the Divine Capital soon, right?"
The graceful woman's slender fingers took the teacup and lid, gently caressing them.
"Hmm, about two or three more days."
"From Lingnan Dao to the Divine Capital via the Grand Canal, it would take about fifteen days," Lu Chi said.
Mo Lao also stood respectfully at a distance. After all, this woman was Lu Chi's biological mother, the most favored Consort by the Great Jing Emperor, Ji Yan.
From the third of the Ten Thousand Ancient Clanns in the Divine Capital, the Ji Family.
Her status and position were extraordinary.
Similarly, Ji Yan wasn't just Lu Chi's birth mother, but also the birth mother of the Third Prince. In recent times, she had been visiting Lu Chi's residence frequently.
Mo Lao's eyelids were lowered, his heart feeling strange.
But thinking of the National Teacher's instructions, he didn't delve too deeply.
"That's good... This palace has already sent people to the dock outside the Ninth City of the Divine Capital. As soon as the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's treasure ship arrives, we will take the sedan chair, and Mother has prepared everything for you."
Consort Ji's red lips blew away the steam from the teacup.
"Mother... what have you prepared for me?"
However, Consort Ji didn't even look at Lu Chi, taking a light sip of the hot tea, her eyebrows furrowed, then disdainfully spat it back into the teacup, uttering two words lightly.
"Proposing marriage."
Even Lu Chi, who had severed his emotions, couldn't help but have his eyes widen in surprise.
Mo Lao in the distance also couldn't help but look up.
"Proposing... proposing marriage? To whom... proposing marriage?"
"Of course, to the little mover from Thunderbolt City..."
"Chi-er, you quite like that little girl from the mover's family, don't you? Although she is Lu Tai Bai's disciple, you, Lu Chi, as a prince, are not inferior... Arranging this marriage can also help you gain Lu Tai Bai as a support."
Consort Ji said lightly.
"As for her being a little mover... it's not so bad."
"Being able to become imperial kin..."
"Can only say she was born to a good family."
...
...
After bidding farewell to Lu Tai Bai, Li Che came to the pavilion where Zhao Fangzhou and the Chief Supervisor Hong Shi Fo were playing chess.
When Li Che arrived, Chief Supervisor Hong Shi Fo's eyes narrowed slightly, his excitement evident as he beckoned Li Che over.
"Li Half-Saint, how about a game of chess?"
Zhao Fangzhou, upon hearing the challenge, immediately threw down his chess piece, jumping up from his seat.
Finally, freedom!
Li Che smiled, sitting down in the chair, calmly picking up a chess piece from the box, starting to play against Hong Shi Fo.
With the "Chess Saint" Dao Fruit, Li Che could instantly master any chess skill.
Moreover, a level 5 Dao Fruit of the "Chess Saint" made Li Che's chess skills extremely refined.
After a while, Hong Shi Fo's face turned pitch-black, as playing against Li Che was even more distressing and hopeless than playing against Xi Xi.
Xi Xi could at least kill him faster.
But Li Che was different, he just tortured him, neither winning nor losing.
Li Che seemed to be more of a master than a master, even in a simple game of Gomoku, every move he made was clear and calculated.
This was still a simple game.
Hong Shi Fo subconsciously planned to flip the chessboard, but Li Che held him back.
"Chief Supervisor, I have a small favor to ask."
Li Che said with a smile.
Hong Shi fo tried to flip the chessboard but couldn't, his face twitched: "Since it's a small favor, then don't ask."
Li Che chuckled: "Once I enter the Divine Capital, I hope Chief supervisor can recommend me, so I can get the qualification for the Special Guest Scholar Examination earlier."
Li Che said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Hong Shi Fo actually let out a breath, as it wasn't too difficult and acceptable.
After all, Li Che himself would also be participating in the Special Guest Scholar Examination upon entering the Divine Capital.
This favor was almost like pushing a boat downstream, why not do it?
He stroked his beard and smiled: "That's easy, Li Half-Saint is a Divine Falcon Half-Saint, naturally can skip the First-Class Guest Scholar Examination and directly participate in the Special Guest Scholar Examination. That's the benefit of being a Divine Falcon Half-Saint."
"If that doesn't work, this old man still has some influence in the Divine Capital, helping you prepare for the Special Guest Scholar examination earlier is not impossible."
He, Hong Shi fo, came from the Hong Family of the Divine Capital, a ten thousand ancient clan with deep and profound heritage, although not as powerful as the Gongshu Clan, but not too weak either.
He still had some influence.
Upon hearing this, Li che no longer played chess, stood up, and bowed in gratitude.
Li Che, eager to become a Distinguished Guest Scholar, was determined to make a bold move. He wanted to attract the attention of powerful individuals in the Divine Capital and make Ji Moli hesitate to act recklessly. Li Che's status as a Divine Falcon Half-Saint was well-known, and many children and cultivators on the treasure ship were in awe of him.
As Li Che sat cross-legged at the ship's bow, a gentle breeze blew, and snowflakes fell like dancing hands in the sky. When the snow touched Li Che's body, it instantly evaporated due to an invisible force.
Inside the cabin, Xi Xi curiously poked her head out, holding Zhang Ya's hand. She had been delighted during this time as she could see her mother and father every day.
"Mom, Dad, what are you doing?" Xi Xi asked curiously.
Zhang Ya scratched her head, unsure of the answer.
No one dared to disturb Li Che, as his status as a Divine Falcon Half-Saint commanded respect.
"He's probably comprehending the Dao of Heaven and Earth," some speculated.
At that moment, Lu Tai Bai emerged from the top floor of the tower, his silver hair flowing in the wind, and his wide sleeves fluttering. He looked at Li Che with a puzzled expression, sensing the gathering of divine energy in the heavens and earth.
Hong Shifo, carrying the chessboard, appeared beside Lu Tai Bai, "Elder Li requested my help to expedite the Special Guest Scholar Examination. It seems that Ji Moli is putting a lot of pressure on Elder Li."
"Pressure is inevitable, especially with Ji Moli's murderous intent," Lu Tai Bai said calmly.
"What is Li Che trying to do?" Hong Shifo narrowed his eyes, calculating Li Che's intentions.
In the next moment, his face twitched, "He's actually..."
Lu Tai Bai's eyebrows rose slightly, sensing the divine energy in the heavens and earth. "He's attempting 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-level strength. "Perhaps... he really might succeed in breaking through to the Divine Embryo Realm?" But Lu Tai Bai couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
According to Li Che's records...
How long has Li Che been cultivating?
From Thunderbolt City until now...
Six years. From nurturing his nature to transforming into the Divine Embryo!
Even Lu Tai Bai was astonished. "Isn't this too fast?"
Is Li Che rushing things?
Is he feeling pressured by Ji Moli?
This isn't good news. Forcing a breakthrough to the Divine Embryo Realm could have severe consequences if it fails.
Nevertheless, Li Che had already entered a state of preparation.
"He's probably planning to make a grand entrance into the Divine Capital, using his reputation to make Ji Moli hesitate," Lu Tai Bai said, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his eyes gleaming.
"Our down-to-earth Elder Li is finally going to make a splash."
"It begins!"
"Six years of cultivation, nurturing the nature to transform into the Divine Embryo!"
"A decade of hard work, and in an instant, the world knows of the Divine Embryo!"
