Chapter 336: True Ape's Roar, Divine Embryo Forms, and the Engagement Father Disagrees With (Part 1)
The rain and snow fell in abundance, and the strong winds blew.
In the warmth of the cold, in the distance, the vastness!
The nine-layer Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship rapidly sailed on the Grand Canal, its heavy body suspended above the water's surface, moving at an incredible speed. The ship's hull occasionally erupted with water currents, spraying to both sides.
The deafening roars continued to explode, and the wind and waves raged.
Li Che sat cross-legged at the bow of the ship, his entire body seemingly frozen like a sculpture, with only his black robe fluttering in the wind.
He seemed to have entered a mysterious state.
Within the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows, a tremendous transformation was taking place.
Numerous golden cores glowed with dazzling brilliance, surrounding two exceptionally radiant golden cores—the Law of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Bright True Ape Golden Core and the Six Desires Lu Xuan Sword Immortal Golden Core. These two golden cores were evidently of a higher rank than the other Seven Emotions golden cores.
Regarding the accumulation of divine essence, Li Che rapidly enhanced his cultivation by frantically absorbing the divine energy from the summoned deities. However, compared to the two larger golden cores, the absorption of divine energy from the other Seven Emotions golden cores was relatively slower.
Although many golden cores had already reached the Fetal Breath Transformation stage, breaking through to the Divine Embryo was extremely challenging, as the timing was not yet ripe, lacking depth and opportunity.
Inhale—
Exhale—
Li Che sat upright at the bow of the ship, bathed in the howling wind, his mind gradually becoming clear.
Within his chest, the Dao Fruit of the Pure Heart throbbed.
The Dao Fruit related to divine energy was primarily the Pure Heart. Even though Li Che had obtained more and more Dao Fruits as his daughter grew up, it was the Dragon-Elephant Vajra and the Pure Heart that significantly aided his cultivation.
The former allowed Li Che to unlock his innate martial talent, continuously improving and reaching the Martial Saint realm, even opening the Martial Saint's second gate and the Pure Martial Chi Sea.
The Pure Heart also provided Li Che with considerable assistance in cultivating divine energy.
However, compared to his martial prowess, Li Che always felt that his talent for divine energy was inferior. Fortunately, he gradually caught up in his cultivation of the divine path.
This was undoubtedly due to the various divine abilities derived from the Pure Heart Dao Fruit.
After summoning the deities, absorbing their divine energy, and refining the divine crystals, he could extract the divine essence at a rate far surpassing ordinary cultivators.
This was Li Che's most significant advantage in cultivating divine energy.
Indeed, Li Che had endured a long and arduous journey in cultivating divine energy.
Now, it was about time to attempt a breakthrough to the Divine Embryo realm.
What is the Divine Embryo? It is a process where the Divine Essence Golden Core transforms into a divine embryo, akin to the cultivation of martial arts, but with a more ethereal and abstract nature, unlike the tangible blood and chi. It originates within the human body, taking root in the physical form.
Divine energy is the product of the emergence of the Mysterious Temple from the earth, permeating the heavens and earth, bringing a new path of cultivation to the mortal realm.
In the past, martial arts cultivation was limited to Pure Martial, making it arduous, and Martial Saints were rare. However, with the intervention of divine energy, body refinement became more accessible, resulting in a significant increase in their numbers.
Divine energy brought about a revolutionary change in the world.
It also gave Li Che hope for his divine energy cultivation.
Li Che's Divine Essence Golden Core relied primarily on absorbing the divine energy from summoned deities to break through.
With a snap of his fingers, a divine crystal floated before Li Che, radiating a brilliant light. It was a Fourth Imperial Rank Lower divine crystal.
For Li Che at this stage, a Fourth Imperial Rank Lower divine crystal was sufficient.
The Fourth Imperial Rank Upper divine crystal obtained from the Heavenly Origin Dao Lord Yue Huanglong was too advanced for his current level and would be a waste to use at this moment.
Sitting cross-legged at the bow of the ship, Li Che absorbed divine energy. The vast heavens and earth continuously gathered divine energy from all directions, forming a gigantic vortex above Li Che's head.
Initially, the vortex was small, but as time passed, more and more divine energy accumulated, causing the vortex to grow larger and larger!
Huff, huff, huff—
Li Che exhaled a breath.
With each long breath, Li Che's entire body emanated a radiant light, as if enveloped in divine energy. Countless pores on his body burst forth with the brilliance of divine power.
However, this divine light originated from between his eyebrows, spreading to his limbs, bones, and skull, as if replicating and mapping out Li Che's physical form.
Li Che clenched his fist, and a Fourth Imperial Rank Lower divine crystal was firmly grasped in his palm. A powerful suction force seemed to emanate from his hand, rapidly extracting the divine essence from the crystal.
The wind howled around him!
In truth, Li Che's divine energy seemed incompatible with his physical body, as the purified martial body from the Dragon-Elephant Fusion Cauldron barely integrated with divine energy. However, instead of forcing the integration, it was more like a replication and imitation...
It was as if a miniature version of Li Che was being sculpted within the Niwan Palace.
"The Divine Embryo is the process of transforming the Divine Essence Golden Core into a divine embryo. Through four transformations, it gives birth to the five viscera, four limbs, countless bones, and the skull..."
"It's like a ten-month pregnancy, but instead of amniotic fluid, the essence of heaven and earth nurtures the divine embryo."
Li Che's mind was suddenly enlightened, as if a grand bell had rung within his consciousness.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
Divine energy spread throughout Li Che's body, like a dense and powerful force, permeating his entire being.
His jet-black hair whipped wildly, lashing at the empty air with a thunderous sound.
The Law of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Bright True Ape divine energy technique allowed Li Che to reach the Divine Essence realm.
Although he didn't possess the subsequent Divine Embryo techniques, it was no longer important to him.
His mind stirred slightly.
Within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, the two matching faces of the Supreme Being emerged, radiating a brilliant light that seemed to leap out and envelop Li Che as he sat cross-legged.

Hum—
In an instant, Li Che's mind became clear as if a divine ape had opened its eyes in the darkness, gazing across the heavens at the Spirit Bright True Ape within the Divine Essence Golden Core, where every breath and inhalation was like thunder.
An invisible force guided the Divine Essence Golden Core to ravenously devour the Divine Energy, and countless Divine Energies surged in, one after the other.
...
...
Huff, huff, huff—
In that moment, the entire Nine-Layer Yellow Dragon Divine Wood Treasure Ship seemed to be enveloped and swallowed by the Divine Energy.
The Divine Children on the ship couldn't help but look up in astonishment and surprise at the swirling vortex of Divine Energy above them.
"This... is a vortex of Divine Energy?!"
"Such a vast and dense Divine Energy... it's as if it's all for Elder Li!"
"Are these Divine Energies attracted by Elder Li? It seems like he's about to break through!"
...
The Divine Children were dumbfounded.
Tie Shanchai and Jin Taishui, with their extraordinary experiences, couldn't remain calm. These two children were in awe!
"Such a vast Divine Energy... the Divine Essence Golden Core level can't possibly reach this, it completely surpasses the power of the Divine Essence Golden Core!"
"This... this is going to impact the Divine Embryo!"
Tie Shanchai exclaimed in surprise.
Xi Xi's father is going to impact the Divine Embryo?!
What the heck? Tie Shanchai had been frequently visiting Xi Xi during this time and was well-informed about her situation.
Li Nuoxi, six years old, born in the Yunzhou region of Lingnan Dao, in the Golden Light Mansion's Thunderbolt City.
Her father, Li Che, was just a simple carpenter in a woodcarving shop before Xi Xi's birth, belonging to the lowest class of commoners with no value.
It was only after Xi Xi's birth that Li Che began receiving guidance in the Martial Dao and later obtained the Divine Energy Technique, starting his cultivation.
Although the Golden Light Mansion's Divine Sect branch has records...
Xi Xi's father has pure Divine Energy and is suspected to be a Divine Child...
But to start cultivating at such an old age, and in just six years, he's about to impact the Divine Embryo?!
Even Xi Xi's talent pales in comparison to her father's!
Tie Shanchai's face turned red with astonishment.
Jin Taishui was also bewildered. That honest, kind, and benevolent Li, a Half-Saint, has such high talent in Divine Energy? No wonder Xi Xi has such incredible talent!
At this moment, the other Divine Children could calmly accept Xi Xi's talent.
"Elder Li... is breaking through to the Divine Embryo?"
Nie Yang stood on the ship's deck, holding his sword, his eyes filled with disbelief and amazement.
He remembered the first time he met Elder Li; it seemed like Li was just a Divine Foundation cultivator back then.
How much time has passed since then? Yet, it feels like an eternity.
Lu Tai Bai emerged from the upper deck, clenched his fist, and unleashed his sword Qi, which formed a net, shielding the Divine Children from most of the Divine Energy impact.
Only a small amount of Divine Energy leaked through, like a gentle spring rain.
Xi Xi widened her eyes, and after understanding the situation, she burst into a joyful smile.
She knew her father was incredibly powerful!
Xi Xi had grown so strong, yet she still couldn't defeat her father!
However, Xi Xi needed to continue getting stronger.
Xi Xi's face lit up with two adorable dimples, and she sat cross-legged, ready to absorb the Divine Energy that Lu Tai Bai had allowed to pass through, like a gentle spring breeze.
Hum, hum, hum—
An eight-treasure unyielding lotus hell divine sword with three faces and an unyielding divine appearance appeared behind her.
Xi Xi began absorbing the Divine Energy that Lu Tai Bai had allowed to flow through, like a gentle spring breeze.
The other Divine Children also came back to their senses and sat cross-legged, excitedly capturing the Divine Energy from the heavens.
After all, this was a Fetal Breath Transformation Perfection Divine Embryo Supreme Deity impacting the Divine Embryo realm, and the Divine Energy he attracted during this time was extremely active, providing an excellent cultivation opportunity.
At this moment, the entire Yellow Dragon Divine Wood Treasure Ship seemed to have transformed into a blessed land.
Although Zhang Ya's Divine Energy cultivation wasn't high, she also sat cross-legged, just like her daughter, seriously capturing the blessings bestowed by her husband.
The entire Yellow Dragon Divine Wood Treasure Ship fell into a deathly silence.
"Huff—!!!"
"Suck—!!!"
Only the sound of the ship sailing and the presence of a powerful entity remained.
A thunderous sound with every breath and inhalation.
...
...
Time flies during cultivation, and before they knew it, three days had passed in the blink of an eye.
The third day.
Lead-colored clouds filled the night sky, hiding the twinkling stars.
The Black Dragon Divine Wood Treasure Ship, which had set off from Heavenly Origin City and sailed north along the Grand Canal, finally arrived at the dock of the Ninth City of the Divine Capital.
The Grand Vision Divine Capital, established in the central region of the Divine Capital Domain, covered an extensive area.
The entire Divine Capital was built upon a sacred mountain, and at the summit stood the Grand Vision Imperial Temple.
In the distance, a temple could be seen, sharp as a spear, standing atop the mountain, as if piercing the sky. A vast Divine Energy rank pressure rolled in waves.
According to rumors, this temple was a modified Mysterious Temple, the first city of the Grand Vision Dynasty's founding emperor, who had led a group of powerful cultivators to conquer the Mysterious Temple. The temple's deity was sealed by the combined efforts of these powerful cultivators.
The temple was the first city, and below it were eight more, each in descending order.
The nine cities were arranged like a staircase, clearly dividing the social classes.
While the nine cities were interconnected, they were not truly connected. For the privileged, they were interconnected, but for ordinary people, a single city might be their entire world for their entire lives.
The Ninth City, though considered the poorest of the nine, had equally impressive architecture compared to Heavenly Origin City. Real estate in the Divine Capital was generally expensive, making it challenging even for an outsider Grandmaster to own property there.
Rumble—
Night had fallen deep.
The river wind raged, rippling the water and creating waves.
As they approached the dock, the water became even wider, and the dock, built extremely high and large, was filled with densely packed small boats. However, these small boats had all been moved to a distance, leaving a vast open space.
The dock of the Ninth City was bustling, even in the dead of night, with people clamoring and shouting. Many of the commoners in the Divine Capital, struggling to survive, would not miss this excellent opportunity to earn money.
Luxurious treasure ships, rarely seen even on ordinary days, were moored at the dock. Those who disembarked from these ships were cultivators from the various Dao Cities and Divine Sects.
The commoners of the Ninth City knew that these Divine Sect members were coming to attend the Peach Blossom Banquet hosted by the Empress of Great Jing. For the commoners of the Nine Cities, the Peach Blossom Banquet was a rare opportunity to release the pressure of their hard lives.
There were spectacles to see, and sometimes, there were even opportunities to gain some benefits.
If the lords of the upper three cities were in a good mood, they might even bestow some gold leaves, allowing the commoners to live comfortably for a month or two.
"That's the treasure ship of the Guangling Dao Celestial Pill Sect! The Celestial Pill Sect is said to be the second wealthiest Divine Sect in the world! The oil that slips through the fingers of the Divine Sect disciples is enough for us to feast and be content!"
"Second wealthiest? Then who is the first?"
"Of course, it's the Seven Treasures Divine Sect of Longyuan Dao. It's said that the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Divine Sect has a divine weapon that can spit out gold leaves, making him richer than the nation!"
"Awesome, that must be the Mystic Symbol Divine Sect of Qingyun Dao. I've heard that the female disciples of the Mystic Symbol Divine Sect are all stunningly beautiful, like celestial maidens."
"Here they come, the Vastly Righteous Academy of Jiangnan Dao! They are all scholars, and the top scholars of the Great Jing Imperial Examination all come from Jiangnan Dao!"
...
At the dock, voices were clamorous, and the crowd was dense. Even the cold night wind could not dampen the enthusiasm of the Ninth City's commoners.
They surged towards the Divine Sect disciples disembarking from the treasure ships.
Some offered to guide the way, some offered to find inns, some offered to serve as servants, and some even begged for patronage...
One could only say that the commoners of the Divine Capital were truly desperate to survive.
Suddenly.
A colossal Black Dragon Warship slowly approached, cutting through the thick fog of the night, and moored at the shore.
Then, everyone felt an overwhelmingly oppressive aura sweeping over them.
The commoners of the Ninth City suddenly fell silent.
This Black Dragon Warship, they knew all too well. It belonged to Ji Maoli, one of the eight major dukes of Great Jing!
"Is it the Pacifier of Turmoil, Ji Maoli?
