Chapter 338: Divine Embryo Secret Art, Law of Heavens and Earth, A Peach Branch to Witness the Banqu
Chapter 338: Divine Embryo Secret Art, Law of Heavens and Earth, A Peach Branch to Witness the Banquet of Immortals (Part 2)
The court had gathered the sect masters and geniuses of various divine sects in the Divine Capital. If any unexpected incidents occurred, it would only intensify the conflict between the court and the divine sects.
So, Ji Yan didn't want to jinx it. She still had hopes of replacing the Empress Dowager and hosting the Peach Blossom Festival in the future.
Although she was upset about this setback, it didn't matter. Women have long memories, and they can hold grudges for a long time.
Sooner or later, she would get her revenge.
Li Che and Li Nuanxi were not to be feared.
The main concern was still Lu Chi, the sect master of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, a top-tier expert second only to the royal family's Ji Moli.
Thinking of Ji Moli, Ji Yan's voluptuous body couldn't help but shudder.
After a long while, she finally calmed down and slowly exhaled.
"According to the information, this Li Che's family has a strong connection with the Netherworld, the new powerful force in the Heavenly Origin City..."
"The Su family in the Heavenly Origin City... seems to have been completely annihilated by the Netherworld, leaving no survivors, not even sparing infants in their cradles..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Netherworld is ruthless indeed.
"Su Family..."
"Send someone to the Third Prince's residence and ask Su Yunji to come see me."
...
...
Li Che returned from Ink City, slowly opening his eyes and brushing off the ink-colored raindrops that had settled on his body, leaving him enveloped in a rich, lingering scent of ink.
The study of the Law of Heaven and Earth's divine nature secret technique had also captured Li Che's attention.
After all, he was about to represent the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect and compete in the Heroic Gathering Banquet for the thousand-year-old peach branch.
The thousand-year-old peach branch was something Li Che deeply desired, at least until he could research and develop a method for longevity. Any treasure that could extend one's lifespan was invaluable.
Moreover, the peach branch held even greater significance for his wife, Zhang Ya.
Zhang Ya's talent was inherently lacking, and even with the Divine Baptism of the Pure Mind, her progress was still too slow.
The life-extending effects of the thousand-year-old peach branch were indeed enticing, and preparing it for his wife was an absolute must.
As for Xi Xi's Dragonlet Competition, according to Lu Tai Bai, the difficulty would be much greater than expected, as Xi Xi was still quite young.
Although she had reached the Divine Form realm, the various divine sects, the royal family's offspring, the ancient families of the Divine Capital, and the divine children of the Nine Cities, all had access to excellent resources from birth. Therefore, it wouldn't be an easy competition.
Xi Xi's chances of winning the thousand-year-old peach branch were not guaranteed, so Li Che had to give his all in the Heroic Gathering Banquet he was participating in.
"Now that everyone knows I've broken through to the Divine Embryo realm and that I'm a gentle and refined Divine Embryo cultivator, I'll primarily use Divine Embryo techniques to deal with my opponents... If that's not enough, I'll reveal some of my martial arts cultivation."
Li Che contemplated.
Although he planned to make a grand appearance in the Divine Capital, there were still things he needed to keep hidden.
To win the Heroic Gathering Banquet and claim the peach branch, he had to catch his opponents off guard.
Moreover, after six years of cultivating and nurturing his nature, entering the Divine Embryo realm, his achievements were already dazzling and worthy of attention.
Buzz!
The Heavenly Earth Dao Essence Plaque returned to his forehead.
Li Che finished his daily cultivation and stepped out, only to find the courtyard bustling with activity.
It was filled with divine children from various ancient families of the Heavenly Origin Dao City, as well as disciples of the Dragonlet Chart from the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Xi Xi was among them, and Li Che spotted her immediately.
"Daddy!"
Xi Xi, upon seeing Li Che emerge from seclusion, excitedly waved the peach branch she was holding.
It was a peach tree branch.
Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly.
Lu Tai Bai approached, his white robe fluttering as he walked gracefully.
"This peach branch was sent by the Empress, obtained from the Strange Temple of the Queen Mother of the West, who holds the Three Pures rank."
"After obtaining the peach branch, infuse your divine nature into it, and you'll be able to activate the branch, gaining the qualification to participate in the preliminary banquet."
"You'll also have the opportunity to spectate the preliminary banquet."
Lu Tai Bai smiled and handed Li Che a peach branch.
"Try it."
"This peach branch is actually connected to the Strange Temple of the Queen Mother of the West. When you infuse your divine nature into it, it will automatically determine your true age and assign you a preliminary banquet opponent."
"For example, Xi Xi is only six years old, so her assigned opponent in the preliminary banquet will be from the Dragonlet Competition. The Strange Temple has prepared a small banquet for the winners, which is also suitable for these children."
"Not only can they gain experience, but they may also have a chance to obtain..." Lu Tai Bai paused, "...without facing too much danger."
"Of course, the fragrant and delicious peach branch itself is also a significant attraction for powerful cultivators."
Li Che took the peach branch, and a faint aroma wafted from it.
As he focused his gaze on it, it seemed as if the branch had just been plucked from the peach tree.
Within the branch, a highly ranked divine nature, capable of stirring one's soul, lingered.
Li Che could clearly sense that within the peach branch, there were nearly three strands of distinct divine nature.
"Three strands of divine nature?"
Li Che looked at Lu Tai Bai.
Lu Tai Bai's robe fluttered as he smiled, "Yes, each peach branch contains three strands of the Queen Mother of the West's divine nature. Every time one enters the Strange Temple, a strand of divine nature is consumed."
"If you win, you can not only enjoy the small banquet but also deprive your opponent of their divine nature, accumulating it within your peach branch."
"Once the divine nature within the peach branch reaches eighteen strands, you can directly advance to the main banquet of the Peach Blossom Festival..." Lu Tai Bai continued, "...under these rules, unless you're incredibly lucky, it's impossible to win the main banquet with weak strength."
"The delicious delicacies and the rare peach itself are also significant attractions for powerful cultivators."

"The delicious delicacies and the rare peach itself are also significant attractions for powerful cultivators."
The banquet's rules were reasonable, given the limited portions of the exquisite delicacies and the precious peach due to their rarity.
"When you consider the various divine sects, the ancient families of the Nine Cities, the royal family's offspring, and the ancient families of the Divine Capital, the total number of participants could easily exceed a thousand..."
"With so many people, it's impossible for everyone to attend the banquet. There must be some kind of criteria."
Li Che pondered, finding the concept rather intriguing.
He was curious to experience the so-called small banquet was like. According to Lu Tai Bai, the richer the rewards, the more lavish the small banquet would be. Li Che was eager to see just how extravagant it could be.
Of course, he also didn't want to miss out on the main banquet's delicacies.
His mind stirred, and in his Niwan Palace, the Divine Embryo trembled slightly.
A strand of divine nature was drawn out, entwining and merging into the peach branch. Faintly, Li Che felt as if he had formed an inexplicable connection with the peach branch.
Buzz...
In his mind's eye, Li Che seemed to glimpse an exquisitely grand palace, its golden and jade hues shimmering with flowing light.
Surrounded by countless celestial energies, the tables and chairs were arranged in perfect order.
It was as if celestial beings had gathered for a feast in a divine court.
Suddenly, Li Che noticed the divine nature within the peach branch slowly intertwining, forming an ancient line of text.
【Participant of the Preliminary Banquet: Li Che】
【Divinity of Queen Mother Xi Wangmu: Three Strands】
【Qualification Verification Passed, Eligible to Attend the Heroic Gathering Banquet】
【Three Days Later, Preliminary Banquet Begins】
These three lines of text appeared in Li Che's mind, almost making him think it was his Dao Tree feeding back Dao Fruit information!
"It... it seems..."
Li Che took a deep breath.
Why does this method of notification seem so similar to my Dao Tree?
A strong sense of curiosity welled up in Li Che's heart.
What is the origin of this Queen Mother of the West's Strange Temple?
Could it be related to the Dao Tree I and my daughter are bound to?
Or is it just a similar method?
His mind withdrew, and he looked at Lu Tai Bai.
"Has the divinity been introduced? Do you understand what's happening?"
"If you choose to participate, the strand of divinity within the peach branch, which contains the essence of spatial Dao, will trigger and transport you to the Queen Mother of the West's Strange Temple, where you will be randomly matched with an opponent."
"If you win, you can strip your opponent of their Queen Mother of the West divinity... Of course, you can also use this divinity for cultivation. This divinity is of extremely high quality, not inferior to the divinity in the Rank Four Lower Divine Crystal... However, it's unnecessary, as the amount is too small, and the effect might not be as good as the Divine Crystal."
"The key is the embarrassment."
Lu Tai Bai smiled.
Li Che couldn't help but chuckle; it was indeed embarrassing, mainly due to the significance of the divinity represented by the peach branch.
Using the divinity for cultivation would mean giving up the opportunity to participate in the small banquet and gain fortune.
"Three days later, the small banquet will begin. Xi Xi will participate in the first round, and you probably won't be able to attend... However, as the head of the Divine Sect, I still have the qualification to attend, and I can watch almost every banquet."
Lu Tai Bai smiled.
Upon hearing this, Li Che asked Lu Tai Bai to pay extra attention to Xi Xi.
Lu Tai Bai rolled his eyes: "Xi Xi is my most valued disciple. Do I need your request to pay attention? I have to pay attention..."
With that, Lu Tai Bai walked towards Xi Xi, preparing to give her special training for the preliminary banquet.
"Unfortunately, Xi Xi hasn't broken through to Grandmaster. If she could, she would have a good chance of making the top three in the main banquet."
Lu Tai Bai said.
Li Che's eyes flickered: "No rush, Xi Xi is still young. Let her develop naturally; overexerting her is not good."
Lu Tai Bai nodded; he naturally understood this.
However, the special training must be thorough.
If his disciple, Lu Tai Bai's disciple, couldn't even make it to the main banquet, it wouldn't just be his face that would be lost, but the face of the entire Heavenly Origin Divine Sect and even the founding ancestor.
"Father, don't worry! Xi Xi will work hard and won't disgrace you!"
"Xi Xi will work hard to win the peach for Mother!"
Xi Xi, standing on the Hell Lotus Fire and Wind Golden light wheel, floated in the air, hands on her hips, and her little belly sticking out, full of fighting spirit.
Li Che's face lit up with a satisfied smile.
What a thoughtful child Xi Xi is.
Lu Tai Bai rolled his eyes; if Xi Xi lost, wouldn't it be his face that would be lost? No one cares about Li Che's face.
Zhang Ya's eyes were filled with emotion, hugging Li che's arm: "Husbando, our Xi xi is really thoughtful."
" When she makes you angry, she's really angry, and maternal love evaporates instantly, doesn't it?" Li Che turned and added.
Zhang ya immediately flushed with anger, giving Li che a light punch.
Li che laughed heartily, pulling zhang ya out to stroll around the divine capital.
Xi xi was left in the courtyard, staring in disbelief at her parents showing affection, while receiving special training from lu Tai bai.
...
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Fourth City of the Divine capital, at the Heavenly origin academy.
In a room with carved beams and painted rafters, Li Che sat cross-legged, the heaven and earth chessboard rising into the air, covering the surroundings.
In his palm, he held a Rank Four Lower Divine Crystal.
In the inner landscape of his mud pill palace, perhaps due to the transformation of the Heavensky Earthly Sage Luminescent True Ape Golden Core into a divine embryo, a special stimulation seemed to have occurred.
The Seven Em otions and Six Desires Golden Core and the Lu xuan sword immortal golden core became incredibly active, absorbing the divinity from the divine crystal at an unprecedented speed.
A Rank Four lower divine crystal was completely absorbed in about a day.
For three consecutive days, Li che absorbed three Rank Four Lower Divine Crystals with extremely high efficiency.
This speed... was truly unprecedented.
Previously, even though Li Che could absorb divine crystals quickly, as the number of divine crystals increased, the absorption speed would slow down.
In the past, it would take Li Che at least a month and a half to refine three Rank Four Divine Crystals.
This current situation was indeed unexpected for Li Che.
It was like lazy employees suddenly becoming diligent and competitive...
【Dao Fruit: Pure Mind (Lv5, 96%)】
After three consecutive Rank Four Lower Divine Crystals were drained!
The improvement was extremely noticeable.
Li Che's breathing quickened slightly.
His fingers joined, tearing open the heaven and earth space.
He took out the Rank Four Upper Divine Crystal obtained from Yue Huanglong's collection.
A vast amount of divinity instantly filled the room.
However, just as Li Che clutched this Rank Four Upper Divine Crystal, intending to push for a Dao fruit transformation in one go, his mind suddenly stirred.
"Xi xi's first preliminary banquet opponent... has been matched!"
...
...
At the Heavenly Origin Academy.
Snow and wind rustled, the wind wailed a mournful howl.
Xi xi, lu qingxuan, yang yi, zhou peng, yun e, and other divine children from the Heavenly Origin divine sect's divine child chart, all sat cross-legged in the courtyard center.
Each held a peach branch.
On the peach branches, strands of Queen Mother of the West divinity flickered like substantial azure breezes.
Suddenly.
xi xi opened her eyes, her gaze sharp and determined!
