Chapter 338: Understanding the Secret Art of the Divine Embryo, Heaven Mimicking Earth Sacred Ape (Part 1)
"Not enough?"
A deep voice, as if coming from the depths of the netherworld, echoed in his ears, lingering and reverberating.
Hoo—
Li Che exhaled slowly, and within his Niwan Palace, an overwhelming divine energy surged like a raging wave. However, all this divine energy was contained within the Divine Embryo of the Enlightened True Monkey.
"I need more divine energy... or should I say, the divine energy of the temple deity?"
Li Che slowly opened his eyes, and in the depths of his pupils, a subtle golden light flickered.
The moment he opened his eyes, Li Che felt as if his soul had undergone a transformation, easily connecting with the heavens and earth, and his perception of everything became extremely sharp.
Whether it was the gentle breeze brushing past his face, the dust particles rolling on the ground, or the sounds and movements of the melting snow outside the house, he could clearly capture and sense them all.
Moreover, with a slight movement of his mind, he could lock onto an area and perform proportional magnification and reduction, as if a magnifying glass and microscope were attached to his vision.
"This is the Heaven-Earth Soul..."
"When a person's soul merges with the will of heaven and earth, it is very different from the martial perception of a martial deity."
"The martial perception is more of a sensory aspect, becoming sharp and sensitive, while the Heaven-Earth Soul... is a transformation at the soul level."
Li Che's heart trembled slightly.
Compared to a martial deity, the Divine Embryo was a transformation at the soul level, creating a vast gap between them and ordinary mortals.
Capturing divine energy between heaven and earth became easier and more effortless.
Additionally, Li Che could sense a mysterious heavenly will and even perceive and capture it! Li Che realized... this was the Dao Essence!
"Dao Essence is the crucial power for a divine embryo cultivator to break through the divine tribulation... Although I have already sensed the Dao Essence, I still haven't found a way or direction to cultivate it..."
Li Che was deep in thought, aware that his cultivation had progressed too quickly.
In just six years, he had advanced from Nurturing Nature to the Divine Embryo, and even Lu Tai Bai hadn't had time to prepare him for this aspect of cultivation.
However, Li Che wasn't in a hurry because entering the Divine Embryo stage didn't mean he had reached the end of his cultivation journey. The Divine Embryo still had four divine transformations, requiring the complete gestation of the five viscera, six bowels, four limbs, and a hundred bones, as well as the head and five senses...
A heavy responsibility and a long journey lay ahead.
Li Che scratched his head, feeling a slight headache.
"The divine energy of the temple deity... I need to summon a deity from the Odd Temple."
"But to satisfy the appetite of the Divine Embryo of the Enlightened True Monkey, at least a temple deity of the Five Elders rank is needed, and these Odd Temples are heavily guarded by the Temple Guardian Corps..."
Suddenly, Li Che narrowed his eyes, and a sharp glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"That's right, there's also a Four Virtues rank Seven Treasures Pagoda Odd Temple in the Divine Capital. This Golden Heavenly King Pagoda temple deity plotted against the Third Prince and then against Xi Xi... Up until now, Xi Xi has never been out of danger. Once she attempts to break through to the Divine Essence Golden Core or the Divine Embryo, she will face the backlash of the Lotus Hell!"
"The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I'll find an opportunity to feed this Four Virtues rank Odd Temple deity to the monkeys!"
Li Che couldn't help but feel terrible whenever he thought about Xi Xi being endangered by this temple deity.
He had no resistance to swallowing this temple deity.
"However, the gap between a Four Virtues rank Odd Temple and a Five Elders rank Odd Temple is not small..."
"This Golden Heavenly King Pagoda located in the Divine Capital is definitely much more dangerous than the one in the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, and there are also temple guardian corpses and other defenses..."
Li Che restrained his divine energy and stretched his body: "No rush, I'll be staying in the Divine Capital for a while anyway. At least before the Peach Blossom Banquet ends, I'll still have a chance to make a move on this Heavenly King Pagoda..."
"To make a move on this Heavenly King Pagoda, I might need to find some more Ink City's captured citizens..."
"It's best to bring a few top-tier Absolute Apex captured citizens."
Li Che smiled, and a few wild hopes sprang up in his heart.
However, the difficulty was not small.
After all, even in the Divine Capital, the center of the Great Jing's power, top-tier Absolute Apex cultivators were extremely rare.
Aside from the various sect masters who had just arrived, the other top-tier Absolute Apex cultivators were all high-ranking and influential figures, the foundation of the Great Jing Court. Attempting to move against them would be extremely risky.
Additionally, Li Che couldn't bring himself to attack a top-tier Absolute Apex cultivator without reason...
After all, Li Che wasn't a bloodthirsty person.
"The Ink City Overlord does indeed make me stronger, and it might even make me lose control of my senses, overwhelmed by the power of the overlord. I need to calm down; abilities are meant to be used, not to be controlled by them."
The room was quiet.
Li Che's heart stirred slightly, and with a breath, he calmed his mind and body, as if settling into tranquility.
In his ears, it was as if a gentle breeze was blowing, rustling the branches, shaking the fruits, and the sound of leaves colliding filled the air.
In his eyes, a golden light like flowing smoke slowly emerged.
...
[Name: Li Che]
[Bond: Li Nuoxi (daughter)]
[Dao Fruits: Divine Craftsmanship (lv5, 70%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv6, 10%), Pure Heart (LV5, 93%), Chess Sage (LV5, 50%), Immortal in Painting (lv5, 0%), Thunder Magnetic Dao Body (lv3, 70%), Dream Celestial Master (lv3, 20%)]
[Dao Techniques: Divine Craftsmanship - Thousand Analysis Hands, Dragon Elephant Vajra - Ascending the Tower, Pure Heart - Bind Spirit, Chess Sage - Great Avalanche, Immortal in Painting - Ink Kill, Thunder Magnetic Dao Body - Divine Sky, Dream Celestial Master - Dream Butterfly]
[Dao Skills: Star Glimpse, Rising Clouds, Divine Attraction, Ultimate, Jade Capital]
[Dao Cultivation: Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron]
[Tip: For each year of safe growth of the bonded person, a Dao Fruit can be formed.]
...
The information on the Dao Fruits appeared before his eyes.
The maturity levels of the various Dao Fruits were all displayed, and Li Che's breath slightly condensed as he focused on the Pure Heart Dao Fruit.
He could see that the maturity of the Pure Heart Dao Fruit had reached 93%!
"As expected... the breakthrough to the Great Realm has a significant impact on the Pure Heart Dao Fruit.
The maturation of the Dao Fruit has indeed increased significantly, and it's likely due to the breakthrough to the Divine Embryo, allowing the Divine Embryo True Monkey to completely devour the summoned deity's power.
Li Che's heart couldn't help but stir with excitement.
If the Pure Heart Dao Fruit reached level 6, it should also be able to awaken a 'Dao Induction' technique, just like the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.
Dao Induction, while not necessarily superior to divine abilities, provides considerable assistance to Li Che.
The Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron, a Dao Induction technique, continually enhances Li Che's physical strength by evaporating the divine energy within his body, transforming him into a perfectly pure martial body!
This pure martial body is even more resilient, capable of withstanding the explosion of numerous wondrous divine seeds.
Therefore, Li Che genuinely anticipates the Dao Induction of the Pure Heart Dao Fruit.
Aside from the Pure Heart Dao Fruit, the Dao Fruits of Divine Carving and Chess Sage, both at level 5, have also shown varying degrees of maturation.
Over the past half month, while Li Che has been traveling, he has not only cultivated and nurtured his Golden Core to breakthrough to the Divine Embryo, but has also practiced carving and mechanism creation in preparation for the Special Guest Scholar Examination at the Heaven Forecasting Bureau in Divine Capital.
The semi-immortal mechanism beast, the Winged Little Dragon King, is too complex, and Li Che is still studying it slowly, but as his progress improves, it naturally contributes to the maturation of the Divine Carving Dao Fruit.
Additionally, the Thunder Dao Body Dao Fruit has also shown progress. Su Daoling has completed the creation of the Small God Xiao Five Thunder Divine Talisman, allowing Li Che to use the talisman to temper and refine his physique daily.
Overall, the maturation of the Dao Fruits is steadily increasing.
Li Che slowly stood up, and a golden blood mist rose from his skin, enveloping him like a golden robe.
It was somewhat similar to the divine energy martial art, 'Maitreya Golden Robe', which Li Che practiced in his youth, but now, it was purely formed from his concentrated blood mist.
This indicated that Li Che's blood essence was incredibly powerful, with every drop becoming extremely heavy and condensed.
Before him, golden light shone.
Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron: Pure Martial Purity (88%)
Li Che's eyebrows rose slightly, surprised that his pure martial purity had increased by 1%. Why was this? Could the breakthrough to the Divine Embryo actually provide feedback to his pure martial body?
Initially, Li Che had been concerned that the surge of divine energy during the breakthrough would reduce his pure martial purity.
Now it seemed that his worries were unnecessary.
With a thought, a black vortex appeared behind him.
Then, Li Che vanished from the house and reappeared within Ink City!
The rain in Ink City was black, and as it fell on the ground, it seemed to blend with the ink-like stones, creating transparent colors and spreading in circles and dots.
Li Che flicked his finger.
Instantly, a plump figure appeared and landed on the roof of a building with flying eaves.
"Old Yue, greetings to the Lord!" Yue Huanglong called out as soon as he appeared.
However, Li Che didn't say much. His blood essence erupted, and the golden blood mist expanded around him, forming a giant garment of blood essence. His divine energy also surged, creating a powerful shockwave.
After breaking through to the Divine Embryo, Li Che gained feedback and comprehended a secret technique of the Divine Embryo.
It was the legendary Law of Heaven and Earth.
Boom!
Immense divine energy surged out from Li Che's forehead, between his eyebrows.
Then, countless strands of divine energy expanded around him, forming a gigantic law body, a figure identical to Li Che but slightly blurred, entirely composed of condensed divine energy.
With a thought, Li Che expanded the law body...
Until it reached a hundred zhang, the maximum height he could control.
This Law of Heaven and Earth technique could also be shrunk to an extremely small size.
The law body's five fingers clenched, and with a punch, it was as if a giant was striking, with power to match its size.
Such a massive law body's punch was incredibly terrifying.
The inertia generated by its size and the impact of the divine energy explosion...
A newly opened Martial Saint would surely suffer severe injuries or even be crushed to death by this punch.
Perhaps only a Qi Sea Martial Saint could withstand it with difficulty.
"So powerful... This is the secret technique of the Three Purity Rank, the Law of Heaven and Earth!" Li Che's eyes lit up.
However, this move wasn't very effective against Yue Huanglong, who, even without burning fat, possessed first-rate Absolute Apex strength. Blocking the power of the newly born Law of Heaven and Earth was no issue for him.
In terms of combat power derived from divine energy cultivation, the Law of Heaven and Earth secret technique that Li Che had just comprehended, while extremely powerful and comparable to the burst of a second-opened Martial Saint, was nothing more.
Unlike the wondrous divine seeds of martial arts, it couldn't continuously explode, breaking through human limits and unleashing terrifying combat power.
But Li Che didn't expect too much, as he felt his divine energy talent was average.
Moreover, the Law of Heaven and Earth was a technique that combined both power and divine energy for a dual strike.
There was still much room for operation and development.
Li Che was gradually adapting to and studying it.
...
...
News of Ji Guifei's attempt to propose a marriage between the Little Prince and the Young Master of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, only to be harshly rejected, spread quickly from the Ninth City of Divine Capital all the way to the Grand Vision Imperial Temple.
It was said that Ji Guifei was rejected by the Young Master's biological father, who didn't give her any chance at all, even though she was proposing with the Little Prince.
For a moment, the wives of many officials couldn't help but laugh.
They laughed at Ji Guifei's embarrassment, as she eagerly proposed a marriage only to be rejected.
However, some said that Ji Guifei lacked sincerity, using a nearly abandoned Little Prince to propose, which was akin to insulting and looking down upon the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect was not weak, and their Grand Master, Lu Taibai, was a top-tier Absolute Apex listed in both the Divine Spectrum and the Heavenly Gate.

Chapter 2: The Proposal
"If Ji Guifei brings the Third Prince to propose marriage, who knows, he might even have a chance to challenge the Crown Prince. But what qualifications does the Youngest Prince have?"
"It's clear to anyone with eyes that Ji Guifei only cares about the Third Prince. As for the Youngest Prince, he's been abandoned, whether it's by His Majesty or Ji Guifei herself."
"How absurd! Do you think the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect is some small, insignificant family in the third city of the Divine Capital? Do you think everything has to be done according to your Ji Family's wishes?"
Various voices echoed without end.
In just half a day, the news spread throughout the nine cities of the Divine Capital.
Divine Capital, Second City.
Ji Guifei didn't go to stay at Lu Chi's mansion; instead, she returned to the Ji Family with a dark expression.
Although she was a married daughter, she still held a position within the Ji Family. After all, she was highly favored by the Grand Vision Emperor.
The ancient family had a profound heritage, but since it was located in the Divine Capital, it naturally established close ties with the imperial clan. It was essential for the family to maintain good relations with each dynasty's royalty to ensure its continuation.
Of course, if a dynasty reached its end, these ancient families would quickly abandon their previous loyalties and seek new patrons, supporting the rise of a new dynasty and royalty.
There were three ancient families in the Divine Capital: the Ji Family, the Yue Family, and the Gongshu Family.
This didn't mean that the Grand Vision Empire only had these three ancient families. The Huang Family in Xiling Dao and the Fang Family in Jiangnan Dao were also ancient families, having passed down their legacies for ten thousand years, spanning across heaven and earth.
However, as these two families were far from the Divine Capital, their presence wasn't as strongly felt.
The Ji Family's mansion occupied a vast area in the second city of the Divine Capital, where land was as precious as gold. It was second only to the first city's imperial palace and temple, symbolizing wealth, power, and status.
Clang!
Countless precious porcelain shattered into fragments that flew in all directions.
Ji Yan's beautiful face was filled with anger. She removed her veil, and her ample chest heaved with rage.
She was furious not only at Li Che, a commoner from Thunder City, for daring to refuse her marriage proposal but also at Lu Chi, her unfilial son!
She had kindly arranged the marriage proposal for Lu Chi, rarely taking the initiative to plan something for her younger son. Yet, Lu Chi had dared to rebuke her in front of so many people.
Even the Emperor had never rebuked her, but this unfilial son had dared to do so!
"Good... Good..."
Ji Yan took a deep breath, venting her anger. She called for her maids to clean up the mess.
In her eyes, there was only one possible reason for Lu Chi's defiance: he had gained the support of the National Master, and now he had the confidence to stand up to her.
"Could it be that Lu Chi is also eyeing the position of the Crown Prince?"
Ji Yan's face turned cold.
Both the Third Prince and Lu Chi were her sons, but she favored the Third Prince more.
This was mainly because Lu Chi's talent was too low and weak, and he had been sent away at a very young age. As a result, Ji Yan didn't have much affection for him.
On the other hand, the Third Prince had perfectly inherited the strengths of both the Grand Vision Emperor and herself. His martial arts and divine energy talents were exceptionally high, and she had raised him since he was young, naturally making her fond of him.
