Chapter 336: True Ape's Roar, Divine Embryo Forms, and the Engagement Father Disagrees With (Part 2)
"
"I wonder how many of the eight dukes will attend this Peach Blossom Banquet... I've heard that many dukes have rebelled."
"It feels like a rumor spread by storytellers. Isn't the Pacifier of Turmoil the most rumored to have rebelled?"
"Storytellers know nothing. If the Pacifier of Turmoil dared to come to the Divine Capital, it means he hasn't rebelled. If he had rebelled, would he dare to come to the Divine Capital?"
...
The commoners whispered to each other.
The gangplank of the ship lowered.
Ji Maoli, clad in dark black armor, without a helmet, his massive and imposing figure exuded a terrifying aura.
Behind him were four even more massive and robust figures, wearing masks with green faces and fangs.
They were Ji Maoli's four talented sons, one carrying a lute, one gripping a longsword, and one shouldering a treasure umbrella...
Each had a unique posture, towering over three meters tall, like small mountains, exuding a formidable presence and a thick, almost overwhelming, crowders wave waves.
Unfortunately, one of his four sons four died his, Ji Maoli Ji of Ji, four, died Ji, sons Loli, Ji L four Ji, four,,Four, of, Ji Loli, Ji Maoli,s four, and the youngest, Ji Lishou, had died. replaced by Ji Maoli's eldest disciple.
All the commoners trembled under the overwhelming pressure, not daring to resist.
Ji Maoli's reputation was too formidable, known to be a ruthless killer who did not hesitate to kill.
Ji Maoli walked with his hands behind his back, showing no concern for these commoners, not even acknowledging their presence.
"Lord Ji, long time."
The Sect Master of the Celestial Pill Sect, Gu Changqing, dressed in a comfortable robe, swayed in the wind, and greeted Ji Maoli with a arch bow.
The Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Divine Sect, Ning Ca Shen, bowed greetings Ji Ji Ji.
And the Sect Master of the Mystic Symbol Divine Sect, Sect, did not give Ji Maoli a good face.
"Has the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's treasure ship not arrived yet?"
Gu Changqing narrowed his eyes, smiling.
However, a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.
One of his Heavenly Pill Vajra disciples had fallen to Lu Tai Bai, and that was three middle-ranked Heavenly Pills!
Ji Maoli glanced him a glance, seemingly aware of something, and chuckled.
Suddenly, his chuckle stopped.
A cold and indifferent voice echoed.
"Isn't that so?"
"Huh?!"
Ji Maoli halted his steps, still clad in black dragon armor, turning around with his hands behind his back.
Behind him, his four towering sons, like small mountains, cleared a path.
Ji Maoli gazed out over the dock, towards the wide expanse of the Grand Canal.
The Sect Master of the Celestial Pill Sect, Gu Changqing, and the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Divine Sect, Ning Caish Shen, and the Sect Master of the Mystic Symbol Sect Xuan,,, turned turned, turned the the Grand Canal Divine Sect, the the the Grand Canal, and the at the Grand ex Canal.
. Their attention to the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect were recently been been...
The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, recently, has been a splendid display...
"The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship,, but... why's the glowing on it?"
"Not glowing,, is breaking to the Divine Essence to Divine Embryo,,. It is overwhelming, loud heavenly essence of divine essence,, aura and, immense,.
Xuan Nine of the Mystic Symbol Divine is, the the ability to cultivate Divine Essence, which is essentially a means to channel the use of the Divine Essence of the divine world.
"Such a great commotion, breaking to Divine Embryo must be a significant breakthrough... What rank of it?"
"Many powerful cultivators stared in surprise and uncertainty.
They, like Ji Mo Li, looked towards the river, where the smoke-filled surface was churning with waves.
Then, a hazy yellow dragon treasure ship emerged from the endless darkness and sailed into their sight.
"That's... the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship of Heavenly Origin City!"
"The Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship? Isn't that the treasure ship of the Heavenly Origin Sect?"
Many were astonished.
Especially on the treasure ships of various sects, exclamations of surprise echoed.
It wasn't unusual for someone to break through the Divine Embryo, and for the sect masters present, a newly advanced Divine Embryo wasn't worth their astonishment.
However, when they saw the young man sitting cross-legged at the bow of the ship, many revealed their surprise.
Ji Mo Li's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Li Che."
The voice wasn't loud, but it echoed in the ears of the sect masters present.
"Li Che? Is this the newly advanced Divine Embryo of the Heavenly Origin Sect? The Divine Embryo who defeated Huang Tu, the Divine Ape Half-Saint of Little Spiritual Sound Temple?"
"It's really him. How old is he... and he's already challenging the Divine Embryo?"
"Twenty-five? It seems so. He's only cultivated for six years, and in just six years, he's challenging the Divine Embryo... How did he cultivate so fast? Even a reincarnated Temple Deity might not be this fast."
Gu Changqing, Ning Caishen, Xuan Jiuzhuan, and other sect masters' eyes widened in shock.
Breaking through the Divine Embryo wasn't a rare occurrence.
What was rare was Li Che's young age and short cultivation time.
When something abnormal happens, there must be a demon! The numerous powerful cultivators from the Ninth City, who had planned to leave, stopped in their tracks, standing in the night wind, silently gazing at the distant Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, which seemed to glow, drawing in the divine essence of heaven and earth.
...
...
"We've arrived at Divine Capital."
Lu Tai Bai stood atop the pavilion, with Zhao Fang Zhou and Hong Shi Fo by his side. His white sleeves fluttered, and his silver hair danced in the wind.
"Most of the sect masters have arrived..."
Lu Tai Bai immediately spotted the familiar figures standing on the wharf.
As sect masters, they had naturally met on numerous occasions, and the sects had exchanges with each other.
"As expected, the commotion caused by Li Che's breakthrough has attracted their attention... It's understandable. Cultivating for six years and challenging the Divine Embryo, even they, as sect masters, couldn't keep up. It's natural for them to be curious."
Lu Tai Bai spoke indifferently.
Hong Shi Fo stroked his beard and smiled, squinting his eyes. After the initial shock, he now remained calm.
"I wonder how many of the eight great vassal kings will attend this Peach Blossom Banquet. Even Ji Mo Li has come... The other vassal kings should also be here, right?"
As the treasure ship slowly sailed, they watched Li Che, whose divine essence grew increasingly dense, just one step away from the final breakthrough. Hong Shi Fo changed the topic.
"It's hard to say... I've heard that many vassal kings are secretly plotting a rebellion. They're different from us sect masters. Without a leader, their armies would naturally fall apart."
"As for us sect masters... Which sect doesn't have an ancient ancestor? These ancient ancestors can hide in the Mysterious Que, even evading the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations. The Great Supervisor's divination techniques can't determine whether the ancient ancestors of the sects are dead or alive..."
Lu Tai Bai smiled faintly, unconcerned about stepping into the Divine Capital.
The court could be considered the largest sect in the world.
The Great Supervisor, the National Master, and the Great Governor of the Temple Administration were all extremely powerful...
But as Lu Tai Bai said, which sect didn't have an ancient ancestor? To truly deal with the sect masters, the entire Grand Jing would be in turmoil.
For the court, maintaining the status quo was sufficient.
While the court was wary of the sects and wanted to curb their development, in reality, they were only concerned about another Heaven-Defying Temple rising and occupying the land of the sects, eroding the court's foundation.
Of course, the current Grand Jing, although not as prosperous as its heyday, was not in decline like the late dynasty...
For the court, the greater threat was the vassal kings secretly plotting rebellion, disrupting the balance of Grand Jing.
"We sect masters are here for the ten-thousand-year-old peach from the Queen Mother's Mysterious Temple. There's only one ten-thousand-year-old peach tree in the temple, which bears fruit once every hundred years, with two peaches each time. One is left for the Grand Jing Emperor, and the remaining one is for us sect masters to compete for..."
"The court holds a gathering, and all the sect masters come. This is quite a face-saving move. The court only wants to save face, and moreover, they're offering the ten-thousand-year-old peach... It's not unreasonable to give them face."
Lu Tai Bai and Hong Shi Fo chatted casually.
Hong Shi Fo was naturally well-informed about this, while Zhao Fang Zhou, a pure martial artist, stood by, scratching his head, unable to understand these intricate matters.
Boom!
The Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship slowly docked at the wharf.
The captain didn't dare shout "Dock!" as Li Che, sitting high on the bow, seemed to radiate light from every pore, absorbing the divine essence of heaven and earth at a critical moment.
So, the captain quietly docked the ship.
Thud!
When the entire Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship docked at the wharf, numerous gazes turned towards it.
Ji Mo Li, his four sons with blue faces and fangs like mountains behind him, and the sect masters like Gu Changqing, Xuan Jiuzhuan, and Ning Caishen, all looked at the figure sitting high on the bow, his skin translucent like jade.
No one on the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship disembarked.
They all waited quietly.
Suddenly, from the other side of the wharf, a commotion arose.
The sound of clanking armor echoed, and golden-armored divine guards rushed from the Ninth City, forming rows on both sides.
An extremely luxurious palanquin was carried by eight sturdy men with powerful auras, moving swiftly as if walking on flat ground.
Following the palanquin was an assortment of heavenly treasures, including divine armaments, talismans, divine carvings, and pills, all carefully packed in red boxes.
The palanquin was adorned with bright red flowers, creating a festive atmosphere.
"Her Highness Ji Guifei has arrived!"
An elderly eunuch with a fair complexion and no beard, dressed in a black robe, shouted with a sharp voice that pierced the sky.
The harbor was filled with powerful cultivators from various sects, all stunned by the announcement.
Ji Guifei? Ji Yan?
The most favored woman of the Grand Jing Emperor? Even the Empress seemed to pale in comparison to the level of favor this woman enjoyed.
Shouldn't this woman be comfortably lounging in the Divine Palace within the Grand Jing Imperial City?
Ji Magui stood with her hands behind her back, slowly turning around in surprise to survey the scene. The sect leaders of the various sects were also slightly taken aback.
Of course, they all recognized Ji Guifei.
As a daughter of the Eternal Clan Ji, with its deep-rooted influence in the court and its power rivaling that of the divine sects, the Eternal Clan Ji was not easily swayed, even by the court itself. The relationship between the Grand Jing court and the three Eternal Clans was already complex and entangled, making it difficult to untangle.
Seeing the grandeur of the procession, many onlookers had peculiar expressions on their faces.
The palanquin procession came to a stop beside the harbor, and the Divine Guard soldiers made way, creating a spacious path.
As the palanquin touched the ground, dust rose into the air.
For a moment, the area became deathly silent. The commoners were terrified and dared not speak, instead kneeling on the ground, not daring to lift their heads.
A gentle breeze blew across the harbor, and the bustling crowd became eerily quiet.
A pair of pale, crystal-clear hands emerged from the palanquin, lifting the curtain. It seemed as if a pair of bright eyes were slowly gazing out from within the luxurious palanquin.
Those eyes fell upon the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, and upon the young man sitting high at the ship's bow, absorbing the divine essence of heaven and earth, as if undergoing a transformative change.
Within her water-like eyes, a faint glimmer of surprise flashed.
However, the surprise quickly vanished, and from within the palanquin, a graceful and elegant woman slowly rose, assisted by her maidservants.
The woman wore a veil, concealing her true appearance, except for her eyes, which shone like bright moons.
Following behind the woman was Lu Chi, dressed in a red robe, his head lowered and expressionless, like a lifeless puppet.
On the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, the divine children of the Qian Yuan Sect and the Dao City were excitedly running on the deck, gathering at the ship's edge to look down at the harbor.
Xixi was among the crowd, jumping up and using both hands to grab the thick ship's railing, leaning over to look down.
"What are they doing?"
Xixi curiously tilted her head, asking the children around her, all of whom were in the same pose, hanging onto the ship's railing.
Tie Shanchai frowned, the chubby Zhou Peng had a strange expression, and Yun E's eyes flashed with worry...
"It seems like they're here for a marriage proposal."
The chubby Zhou Peng spoke up.
Xixi was puzzled, wondering what marriage proposal they were talking about.
Then, she noticed Lu Chi, who had followed the graceful woman out of the palanquin.
Xixi's eyes widened in surprise, and her face turned as red as a pressure cooker about to explode!
Lu Taibai gracefully landed beside Xixi, ruffling her hair.
Then, he looked at the situation on the harbor with a detached expression, his silver eyebrows slightly furrowed.
This Ji Guifei...
What was she up to? Ji Guifei smiled lightly, and her clear voice echoed between heaven and earth.
"Greetings, Master Lu Taibai. I've heard that you've taken on a talented disciple. My son, Lu Chi, has become acquainted with your disciple in Feilei City and Jinguang Mansion. I believe he has developed a favorable impression, so I thought it would be appropriate for us to become even closer through a marriage alliance. Therefore, I've brought the Three Books and Six Rites, along with a token of our sincerity, to propose a marriage between our children and establish a betrothal."
"My son is a Grand Jing Imperial Prince, and as your direct disciple, he holds a noble status. This proposal is indeed suitable."
"Let's settle this matter first. In two days, I will go to the Emperor to formally propose the marriage. I wonder what Master Lu Taibai thinks of this arrangement."
Ji Guifei's elegant robe slightly relaxed, and she smiled.
Lu Taibai stood there, his silver eyebrows slightly furrowed, as the wind blew around him. He spoke indifferently, "Although I am Xixi's teacher, I am neither her birth father nor mother. I cannot make this decision on her behalf. Marriage is a lifelong matter, and it is best left to her parents."
Then, Lu Taibai raised his hand and pointed to Li Che, who was seated at the front of the ship.
Li Che's ink-black robe fluttered in the wind, his dark and robust hair swirling like thunder. His divine essence was like a surging tide, drawn into his Niwan Palace, where a dazzling golden core seemed to float, surrounded by a faint, awe-inspiring shadow of the Heaven-Earth Mimic Luminescent True Monkey Divine Embryo!
The golden core's radiance was dazzling, and its outer wall appeared translucent, revealing a vivid, beating heart within!
Thump-thump-thump—
The heartbeat echoed, and its vibrations shook the air!
Divine Essence Transformation, Divine Embryo Birth, Divine Transformation of a Viscera!
Boom-Boom-Boom!!!
In the sky above, amidst the leaden clouds, thunder rumbled, and divine might surged. The Divine Embryo Tribulation was brewing!
Li Che slowly opened his eyes, and within them, countless golden rays of light burst forth.
His gaze fell upon the veiled woman, and then moved past her, landing on Lu Chi, who was dressed in a red robe.
His eyes grew colder, and he looked at Lu Chi with the indifference of a stranger.
"This marriage proposal..."
"As a father..."
"I do not agree."
