Chapter 337: Past Affection Severed, No More Uncle Li, Unvanquished Xi Xi at the Peach Blossom Pre-Banquet [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 1)
Crack! Crack! ——!
Above the sky, leaden clouds gathered!
Snowflakes tumbled out from the cloud layers, whipped by the wind, rolling continuously, and then were struck by the intertwining currents of wrathful electricity. Accompanied by an invisible wisp of smoke, they melted into water droplets.
Countless violent thunderbolts rolled between the clouds, terrifying and awe-inspiring, making people's limbs stiffen as if they were frozen.
This was a calamity, not an ordinary winter thunder!
The once tranquil night sky seemed to be altered, the celestial phenomena changing, as if a great calamity was descending!
And the tribulation of a Divine Embryo cultivator was somewhat different from that of a Martial Saint.
While both defy the heavens and show signs of merging with the heavens, a Martial Saint merges with the Heaven-Earth Will, forming a connection between heaven and man, with heightened senses and extraordinary perception.
A Divine Embryo cultivator, however, becomes more ethereal. They merge their Primordial Soul with the Heaven-Earth Will, forming a Heavenly Earth Soul. This soul can leave the body, akin to a Yin Soul or Yang Soul, capable of summoning wind and rain, affecting reality.
Therefore, the tribulation of a Divine Embryo cultivator is more focused on the soul, differing slightly from the tribulation targeting the physique of a Martial Saint.
Of course, the difference isn't significant. In the end, if one fails to transcend, they will be severely injured, and their Dao will be extinguished.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ——
The wind grew stronger, howling through the heavens and earth, as if it could extinguish one's soul!
Compared to the Martial Saint's tribulation thunder, this Divine Embryo tribulation thunder included a wind.
This wind is the Divine Annihilation Wind of the Three Calamities.
Of course, it's not the true Divine Annihilation Wind faced by Divine Tribulation cultivators, but it contains the attributes of the Divine Annihilation Wind. If the true Divine Annihilation Wind were to sweep through...
Li Che could die instantly for this world to see.
That is a tribulation even Divine Tribulation cultivators would avoid.
Rumble! ——!!!
The heavens roared.
But at this moment, Li Che paid no attention to these tribulations.
His physical martial arts had reached the Qi Sea realm, extremely powerful and unbreakable. This Divine Embryo tribulation thunder basically posed no threat to him. Moreover, Li Che had prepared for the tribulation to avoid exposing his martial arts cultivation.
So, he didn't care.
What he cared about now was...
How dare Lu Chi come to propose?!
How dare he?!
"This marriage."
"I disagree!"
His voice was cold and devoid of emotion, sending shivers down everyone's spines, a relentless coldness that swept through.
Li Che's eyes opened and closed, radiating a brilliant light as if tearing apart the sky!
The Niwan at his brow quivered slightly, and divine aura surged forth like a breached river, pouring down.
Accompanied by the transformation of the Law of Heaven and Earth Spiritually Bright True Ape!
The True Ape roared, spanning the heavens and earth, illuminating the night.
A floating golden core, perfectly round and shining, with a radiant glow, faintly transparent, revealing countless divine auras within, coalesced into a heart the size of an infant's fist.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The heart beat, as if invisible ripples were spreading through the void, suppressing the sound of the wind.
The Divine Essence Golden Core contained the Divine Embryo. With one divine transformation, it formed the heart, marking the first of five minor realms.
Li Che had just stepped into the Divine Embryo realm, and his divine transformation had condensed into a heart!
At the dock, all eyes were drawn to the magnificent and divine figure sitting at the bow of the Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Boat.
He was like a true deity.
"What a condensed Divine Embryo!"
"What a vast divine aura! What level of Divine Embryo is this? The rank pressure is so strong!"
The experts from various Divine Sects all narrowed their eyes, not even paying attention to Li Che's refusal, captivated by his Divine Embryo state.
A Divine Embryo cultivator at the one divine transformation stage, they naturally wouldn't be too concerned, but they had to consider the potential and strength of this Divine Embryo.
The strength of the Divine Embryo Li Che displayed was indeed quite frightening.
Just from the divine aura the Divine Embryo had attracted, one could determine its rank and strength.
The higher the rank and strength, the more divine aura it would attract.
A high-strength and high-rank Divine Embryo required an overwhelmingly vast amount of divine aura to maintain!
A Three Pures Rank Divine Embryo!
This thought reverberated in the minds of every cultivator, impossible to shake off.
Most importantly...
In just six years of cultivating divine aura, he had managed to transform into a Three Pures Rank Divine Embryo. This was the most terrifying aspect!
It was well-known that the higher the rank of a Divine Foundation or Divine Form, the more divine aura a cultivator needed to accumulate to build a solid base and advance to higher realms.
The same principle applied to the Divine Essence Golden Core and the Divine Embryo. The higher the rank of the golden core or Divine Embryo, the more divine aura was required, an extremely terrifying amount!
Even Ji Moli was slightly moved at this moment, looking at Li Che with a hint of shock.
"He must have... received some Temple Deity heritage."
"His Divine Embryo seems to reflect a Divine Form shadow, that of a divine ape? Perhaps... the strange temple of the Twinheart Great Sage in the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect is related to him?"
"Li Che was able to break through to the half-saint level of the Divine Falcon by carving the Divine Form of the Twinheart Great Sage Temple Deity. Perhaps... he has received the heritage of the Twinheart Great Sage Temple Deity?"
"But, everyone, don't forget that the heritage of the Twinheart Great Sage... might not necessarily reach the Three Pures Rank!"
...
Many people noticed the trace of the Divine Enlightenment True Ape in Li Che's Divine Embryo and made guesses.
Without heritage, it would be impossible to reach such heights in just six years. Everyone was a standout in divine aura cultivation, a great deity of the Divine Embryo, and naturally had the acumeness to make guesses.
"Queenside Temple?"
Someone murmured a name.
It was like a boulder thrown into a lake, causing a great upheaval!
"
"So, the divine monkey took the divine rod, and Li Che obtained the divine embryo technique?" The master of the Divine Sect instantly understood with a turn of his mind.
Furthermore, Li Che might have also obtained the divine heritage of the temple deity from the strange temple of the Twinheart Great Sage, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to break through to the divine embryo stage in such a short time.
A genius of the divine path!
An unparalleled talent, if not for his advanced age, he would be a purple-clad heavenly talent!
However, Li Che himself is already a Divine Falcon Half-Saint, and to become a Divine Falcon Half-Saint, his innate talent in the divine aspect wouldn't be too lacking.
"What a Li Che, a divine talent, a divine falcon genius, a promising young talent... The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect has indeed gained a great bargain!" Xuan Jiu Zhuan from the Mystic Symbol Divine Sect spoke with a hint of sourness.
Although he is Lu Tai Bai's uncle, he has no affection for Lu Tai Bai, who deceived his younger sister by relying on his handsome looks and swordplay.
After all, Xuan Qi Sha has not returned to the Mystic Symbol Divine Sect for a long time since being deceived into joining the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
It is said that he has cultivated the Soul-Locking Talisman, and the more he locks his lifespan, the shorter it becomes, and the more he locks his body, the smaller it shrinks...
The old father was so angry that he retreated deep into the strange gate, not showing his face for many years.
A good family was scattered because of Lu Tai Bai.
Damn that Lu Tai Bai!
The expressions of those present varied, and from this day forward, most of them would start paying close attention to the achievements of Li Che, the talented Divine Falcon Half-Saint.
Perhaps, given time, this Li Che will climb to the absolute apex of the Great Deity Chart.
"Fortunately, this Li Che is only stronger in the divine aspect, but quite ordinary in martial arts, seemingly just a Divine Gale or Primordial Grandmaster..."
"This Li Che is so young, and he should be participating in the 'Heroic Gathering Banquet'. His divine embryo cultivation... is also quite competitive at the Heroic Gathering Banquet."
Soon, many people's faces became filled with a playful look.
Li Che refused Ji Guifei so decisively...
That was a marriage proposal from the Great Jing Imperial Clan, and Li Che refused without a moment's hesitation.
Ji Guifei, accompanied by the young prince, came for the marriage proposal. Considering Ji Yan's status and Lu Chi's identity as a prince, this marriage proposal should have been good news for the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, which is currently riding a wave of success.
Marriage between a divine sect and the imperial clan is not uncommon.
For example, the previous master of the Mystic Symbol Divine Sect married the eldest princess of the Great Jing Imperial Clan, and that princess is the elder sister of the current Great Jing Emperor!
Xuan Qi Sha, Lu Tai Bai's wife, is the daughter of that princess, so Lu Tai Bai even has a marital connection with the Great Jing Imperial Clan.
Similarly, the daughter of the master of the Seven Treasures Divine Sect is the current crown princess, and so on...
Although the court restricts divine sects due to concerns about their unrestrained development, they are still interconnected.
Ji Guifei emerged from the palanquin, dressed in elegant attire and a veil covering her face. Her beautiful eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight as she shifted her gaze from Lu Tai Bai to Li Che, who had just broken through to the divine embryo stage.
Occasionally, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
She knew Li Che.
Li Che, a lowly porter, refused her?
However, Li Che's recent breakthrough did give her a bit of a shock.
After all, the Martial Saint and the divine embryo stage represent a leap and transformation in the level of life, and divine embryo cultivators are powerful figures even in the divine capital.
Li Che stood up at the bow of the ship, brushing off the snow that had settled on his ink-colored clothes.
"If anyone has intentions for my daughter, I will marry her to them... and my daughter will have no worries about finding a husband."
Li Che spoke calmly.
"Therefore, as a father, I do not agree to this marriage."
His tone was cold, and it seemed to carry a bone-chilling killing intent.
He hadn't expected that upon arriving in the divine capital, the one causing trouble would be...
Lu Chi!
Initially, Li Che had felt a sense of admiration and regret for Lu Chi, but now... all regret and admiration were gone. Daring to have designs on his daughter, he was nothing but a young upstart, and all previous connections were useless!
"Mother..."
Lu Chi opened his mouth, his face filled with pain.
After today, he and Xi Xi might not even be able to remain friends...
However, it seemed that he had already severed his friendship with Xi Xi.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Ji Guifei gave him a cold look: "Be quiet."
Ji Guifei no longer looked at Li Che but turned her gaze to Lu Tai Bai.
Lu Tai Bai's silver hair flew in the wind as he ruffled Xi Xi's head, who was pouting, and said with a smile: "Ji Guifei, Xi Xi's father has already expressed his opinion, so there's no need to discuss this matter further."
”
Xi Xi is now solely focused on cultivation, and since Elder Li does not approve, the matter of marriage proposal is best left unmentioned."
Lu Tai Bai's tone carried a hint of unquestionable firmness.
If Li Che truly valued the royal family's status and sought a marriage alliance with the Great Jing Imperial Clan... he would naturally not object. Xi Xi is Li Che's daughter, and arranging her future is a matter Li Che himself would decide.
However, since Li Che does not have this intention, Lu Tai Bai naturally offers his full support.
Ji Guifei's eyes narrowed, and her slender, fair hand clenched.
She never expected that her initiative to arrange a marriage proposal and alliance for Lu Chi would be rejected so decisively.
It was as if she had become a laughingstock.
Perhaps after tomorrow, the noble ladies in the Upper Three Cities, and the concubines in the Imperial Palace Temple, would turn her into a topic of amusement during their leisure time.
This made her face grow increasingly unpleasant.
"Mother, let's go."
Lu Chi spoke up, his tone carrying a hint of pleading.
Ji Guifei's expression became slightly unpleasant. She had been favored by the Great Jing Emperor, and with her status as a Ji family member, she had rarely faced any setbacks in the Divine Capital.
But today...
"Shut up!" Ji Guifei scolded in a low voice.
"Mother...!!!"
However.
Lu Chi did not retreat in the face of her scolding; instead, he raised his head, clenched his fists, and his eyes seemed to be filled with bloodshot, staring at Ji Guifei with madness.
Ji Guifei was taken aback.
"Do you want to harm your child?!"
Lu Chi breathed heavily, and in the Temple Deity's resonance, he felt as if his bones were being scraped and his flesh cut. At this moment, he became inexplicably angry, despite his cold and ruthless demeanor.
"Child... you have no friends left."
Although he had personally severed the friendship between Xi Xi and himself, but...
It was difficult.
When Ji Guifei first mentioned helping him with the marriage proposal, Lu Chi's heart trembled, and he actually had a glimmer of hope.
But as things progressed, seeing Ji Guifei's attitude, even when arranging the proposal, was still so high and mighty, this was not a marriage proposal...
This was destroying everything Lu Chi had!
It would even cost him his life!
Ji Guifei saw Lu Chi's angry expression for the first time. This promising son, with his exceptional talent and divine nature, was supposed to be sent to the Golden Light Mansion, relying on the resonance of the Eight-Armed Wrathful Third Prince's Temple Deity to turn his fortunes around.
However, that attempt had also failed.
How could such an unaccomplished child dare to show anger?
Ji Guifei's eyebrows furrowed, and she stared at Lu Chi with coldness.
It was as if she was saying, "Is this how you speak to your mother?"
However, Lu Chi did not retreat; instead, he bowed and apologized to Li Che: "Elder Li, I'm sorry. This is all my mother's doing..."
Lu Chi was one of the few who knew Li Che's true identity.
Perhaps because he understood, Lu Chi's heart was filled with fear...
He was well aware of Li Che's true identity.
The Netherworld Demon... was him!
Cunning and treacherous, killing without blinking, the extreme evil Netherworld Demon... was Li Che!
Most importantly, Lu Chi knew that Li Che had left something on his body.
