Chapter 342: The Young Bull Demon and Xi Xi, the Six-Year-Old Grandmaster, Li Bansheng Enters the Scene with His Divine Embryo (Part 1)
Whoosh!
The wind blew through the hall, stirring the hanging cloth strips and the bells on the door, creating a tinkling sound as they swayed in the gentle breeze.
The atmosphere seemed to fall into a deathly silence at this moment.
Ji Moli, dressed in dark black armor, had deep and dark eyes that revealed a hint of bewilderment, which slowly dissipated, returning to their profound darkness.
"The National Teacher is right. I, the King of Dajing, am only capable of restoring order and rectifying chaos. How could I possibly shake the foundation of Dajing's land and people?" Ji Moli said in a low, hoarse voice, with a sense of self-assurance.
The Layman National Teacher glanced at Ji Moli and smiled faintly, his gaze returning to the documents on the table regarding the Netherworld.
These documents were gathered from Heavenly Origin Dao City, and he valued the information about the Netherworld.
To him, a sudden emergence of a force capable of influencing a Dao territory was worth his attention, as it represented an unpredictable variable.
"This is a variable that is slowly growing and gradually expanding its influence."
"Initially, it was only in Thunderbolt City, then in Golden Light Mansion, and later in Heavenly Origin Dao City..."
"The influence is gradually expanding, but coincidentally, it is also related to this family. The signs of the Netherworld first appeared in Thunderbolt City, where Li Che's family resided. Six years ago, Li Che was just a laborer in a woodcarving shop in Thunderbolt City..."
"The Netherworld left its traces at that time, and the first member was the Bull Demon..."
The National Teacher, Xie Yunshen, had white hair at his temples, and his deep gaze organized the information transmitted by the intelligence agents in Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Ji Moli sat across from him, silent and unmoving.
He looked at the old man before him with a complex expression. This old man had cultivated three lotus flowers, but his strength was not exceptional. His cultivation was barely at the Grandmaster level, and his divine essence was lacking due to his inability to comprehend the divine essence. Despite his long years of cultivation, he had only managed to nurture his temperament.
Yet, this seemingly unaccomplished cultivator stood at the pinnacle of Dajing's power structure, earning the trust of the highly cultivated emperor. He was appointed as the National Teacher, and with his singular power, he manipulated and restrained the various divine sects within, while also plotting against the Dalai Royal Court.
Ji Moli secretly admired Xie Yunshen, believing that cultivation surpassed all else.
However, Xie Yunshen seemed to disagree.
The National Teacher, Xie Yunshen, seemed to sense Ji Moli's gaze: "Your Highness, don't look at me like that..."
"The emergence of the Mind-Altering Golden Iron Rod was beyond my expectations. The Grand Supervisor's personal deduction, using ten years of his lifespan, is unlikely to be wrong. I cannot take it lightly."
"At the very least, we must make the monkey who obtained the Mind-Altering Golden Iron Rod reveal himself."
The National Teacher stopped reviewing the documents and took a sip of hot tea.
Ji Moli nodded and slowly stood up. His tall and imposing figure exuded an oppressive aura. The clanking of his armor seemed to reveal the terrifying flesh beneath.
"National Teacher... Was the alliance between Little Lingyin Temple and the six sects, including Heavenly Pill Vajra, your doing?"
"Did you know from the beginning that Lu Tai Bai would flip the table?" Ji Moli asked.
"If Lu Tai Bai didn't flip the table, wouldn't all your plans be in vain? You would have only wasted your breath..."
The old man gently shook his teacup and gave Ji Moli a strange look: "How could it be a waste of breath?"
"If Lu Tai Bai didn't flip the table and suppressed his anger, it would be like planting a seed in his heart. The seed will eventually sprout, just like how sword cultivators will eventually kill..."
"When the time comes, the constant conflicts among the divine sect masters will give me some relief, and I will be able to relax and enjoy the parameters to be sent to the tool, or {} if there are none
"I have none
}
}
"And if Lu Tai Bai flips the table... that would be best."
"Just like how he is now displaying his cataclysmic sword, a single sword suppressing the six sects... He may feel satisfied, but what happens after that?"
"Are we to watch him challenge the Heaven's Tribulation Realm?"
"He will be the target of everyone's arrows."
Xie Yunshen smiled and lightly tapped the table.
"I will never lose."
"It would be better if Lu Tai Bai didn't flip the table... There will always be others who will."
"The Netherworld is not one to endure silently."
Xie Yunshen narrowed his eyes.
Ji Moli's deep and dark pupils constricted slightly.
After a respectful bow, he turned and left.
The clanking of his armor shattered the thin layer of wind and snow as he disappeared into the snowstorm of the Second City.
The old man's robe fluttered in the wind as he strolled to the balcony, watching Ji Moli mount his horse and ride away in the strictly regulated Second City. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Then, he lifted his head and gazed into the distance.
A towering eight-cornered, multi-eaved, water-dripping, majestic treasure tower stood in the Second City, shrouded in mystery, depth, and transcendence.
"Mechanisms, spatial teleportation, the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus, and the Third Prince's Fury..."
"Grand Supervisor... The Netherworld..."
"Is this your doing?"
...
...
A fiery Qilin horse, majestic and powerful, was covered in fine dragon scales. Its hooves seemed to be on fire, melting the thin layer of snow on the ground.
Ji Moli's clanking armor returned to the Pacification King's Mansion. After dismounting, his soldiers immediately led the horse away.
Ji Moli strode forward, his aura becoming increasingly terrifying. The air seemed to tremble, forming intense ripples that piled up.
He entered the courtyard, where four figures stood like mountains, clad in armor. Each of them seemed to be enveloped in swirling clouds of blood and energy.
His gaze fell upon the last figure, Ji Lishou, who had died in Heavenly Origin Dao City, leaving him with one son less.
The Four Great Heavenly Kings were now one short, but fortunately, he had a personal disciple who could fill the vacancy.
Ji Lishou's essence blood was merging with his, slowly... This disciple would soon transform back into Ji Lishou, their bloodlines intertwining.
However, Ji Lishou could not be dispatched for the time being.
Among his four sons, Ji Lishou had the weakest cultivation and was the youngest. He could still attend the Heroic Preliminary Banquet for now.
In the Divine Capital, three sons, Ji Li Qing, Ji Li Hong, and Ji Li Hai, all surpassed the standards to participate in the Heroic Preliminary Banquet.
"To reveal the true form of that mischievous monkey... the National Teacher believes the Netherworld Monkey is hiding within the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect."
"The National Teacher still believes the Heavenly Origin Sect is staging a grand drama, just to seize the Mind-Altering Golden Rod and occupy a position within the sect..."
"The Heavenly Origin..."
"I want that Heaven-Defying Temple right now!"
Ji Mo Li stood in the courtyard, his black hair flying in the wind, deep in thought.
His gaze swept across the area, finally landing on Ji Li Shou, who was disguised as his son.
The clatter of armor rang out as a mountain-like figure bowed.
"Father King."
Amidst the clatter of armor, the figure revealed a pair of sharp eyes beneath its towering stature.
Countless pieces of armor flew up, accompanied by scattered divine essence, gradually shrinking the massive, three-meter-tall figure back to a normal size—a robust youth with eyes like crimson jade.
"Zhou Chiguo."
Ji Mo Li looked at the youth before him, his eyes flashing, a faint smile on his lips.
"Help me reveal the true face of that monkey and force him to pay a price!"
...
...
In a single day, Lu Tai Bai's sword pressed down on six Divine Sects, and the news spread like a storm throughout the Divine Capital.
In the nine cities of the Divine Capital, the story of Lu Tai Bai's majestic sword was on everyone's lips.
With the six Divine Sects joining forces, their top three Divine Children among the many sect disciples were allowed to enter the Preliminary Banquet, aiming to wash out the Heavenly Origin Sect's Dragonlets and prevent them from participating in the main banquet of the Peach Blossom Festival.
Lu Tai Bai, enraged, directly charged towards the Little Lingyin Academy, brandishing the Tribulation Sword that touched upon the Dao Essence. He intimidated the six Divine Sect Masters, forcing them to concede and even offer precious items as compensation.
Lu Tai Bai's majestic sword and the subsequent grand wager captivated the entire Divine Capital.
After a day of rest, the Divine Children from the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Dao City Worldly Families, who had suffered a setback, emerged from the shadows, their spirits renewed.
Because the Sect Master Lu Tai Bai had regained their honor and forced the six Divine Sect Masters to concede, these Masters would have to pay a heavy price if they lost the wager.
In the courtyard, the children's hearts were filled with fiery determination.
Xi Xi stood tall, her hands crossed over her chest, legs apart, exuding a domineering aura.
Jin Taishui and the others moved away from her, but their eyes still held a hint of admiration.
"You only need seven consecutive victories to win, Xi Xi. You've already won one, and if you win six more in a row, it's a sure thing!"
Yun E held a plump rabbit, gazing at Xi Xi with a gentle smile.
Xi Xi had lost her first match, but she didn't mind. After all, she wasn't very skilled in combat.
Moreover, learning that they had been calculated by the six Divine Sects, her heart calmed even more.
"Xi Xi the Great, let's teach them a lesson! If they dare to scheme against us, they must pay the price!"
Little Fat Zhou Peng clenched his plump fists and shouted.
His eyes were filled with rage!
Missing out on the peach was an unforgivable offense for a foodie, more painful than having his flesh torn from his body.
Especially after hearing Xi Xi describe how delicious the peach was, Little Fat Zhou Peng felt like he was being tortured in hell.
The anger in his eyes was uncontrollable.
Under the eaves.
The wind blew through the corridor, stirring the robes of those sitting there.
Lu Tai Bai and Zhao Fangzhou sat together.
Li Che and Zhang Ya were nearby, but a third person had joined them, carrying the Heaven and Earth Chessboard—the Deputy Supervisor of the Heavenly Origin Dao City's Imperial Observatory, Hong Shifosi, with a smile on his face.
"Li Bansheng, after I returned to the Imperial Observatory, I reported to you about preparing a special guest official's assessment..."
"It's just that the special guest official's assessment may require two Deputy Supervisors to personally supervise and examine..."
Li Che smiled, "That's no problem. It doesn't matter who examines it; it's all about skill."
Hong Shifosi stroked his beard and smiled, "It doesn't make much difference who examines it."
"But Li Bansheng... The special guest official's assessment at the Imperial Observatory is more difficult than carving a Half-Saint Divine Bird. You should prepare accordingly."
Hong Shifosi looked at the confident Li Che and thought for a moment before reminding him.
Not all Half-Saint Divine Bird carvers can become special guest officials at the Imperial Observatory because the assessment is indeed more challenging.
Li Che's expression became more solemn upon hearing this.
"Deputy Supervisor Hong, regarding the wager between our Sect Master and the six Divine Sect Masters, as a member of the sect, I am duty-bound to participate. So... after I complete the wager, can I accompany you to the Imperial Observatory for the special guest official's assessment?"
Li Che asked Hong Shifosi.
Hong Shifosi waved his hand, "Of course, the special guest official's assessment also requires several days of preparation. I just came to inform you in advance, Li Bansheng, so you can have more time to prepare."
"After all, more preparation means a greater chance of passing the assessment."
"I also want to witness this grand wager's outcome..."
Hong Shifo stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
"Sir, it seems Xi Xi is about to start!"
Zhang Ya's soft voice suddenly echoed in Li Che's ear.
Her hand couldn't help but grip Li Che's arm, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
She couldn't help but be nervous; among the many dragonlets of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, only Xi Xi still had a chance to win...
And Xi Xi still needed to win six consecutive matches to fulfill the bet.
"Don't worry, Xi Xi is very strong."
Li Che gently patted Zhang Ya's hand, comforting his wife.
In fact, both Li Che and Zhang Ya had a strong belief in Xi Xi, but as the moment approached, they still felt nervous.
Perhaps this was a common flaw of parents, their emotions always fluctuating with their children.
In the courtyard.
Xi Xi took out the Peach Branch, on which four strands of the Divinity of Queen Mother Xi Wangmu now entwined.
【Attendee: Nian Xi Li】
【Divinity of Queen Mother Xi Wangmu: Four Strands】
【Qualification Verification Passed, Eligible for Dragonlet Banquet】
【Preliminary Banquet Prepared, Will You Attend?】
Xi Xi activated the divine essence, which fused with the Peach Branch, and a prompt immediately appeared before her.
A serious expression appeared on Xi Xi's chubby face as she took a deep breath, her small belly swelling.
She sat cross-legged and, with a flick of her mind, chose to attend!
"It's starting..."
The moment Xi Xi chose to attend the banquet.
Lu Tai Bai's eyes, beneath his silver eyebrows, narrowed slightly. This bet was also a significant test for Xi Xi.
However, if Xi Xi could win six consecutive matches, the significance would be extremely great and extraordinary.
"I wonder which of the six great divine sects' dragonlets will come to block her this time?"
Lu Tai Bai leaned back in his chair, the charcoal stove beside him bubbling with hot steam, boiling water.
At the same time.
The moment Xi Xi's divine essence merged with the Peach Branch and she chose to attend the banquet.
In the Little Spirit Sound Hall.
Another divine child also sat cross-legged, took out a Peach Branch, and gripped it, summoning divine essence.
The Little Spirit Sound Hall was very lively today.
The bet made by the six divine sect masters and Lu Tai Bai had already attracted the attention of the entire Divine Capital, and it was said that even people in the Divine Palace of the First City were paying attention.
With the matter out in the open, losing would be extremely embarrassing, and it had even escalated to a battle concerning the honor of the sects.
The Great Mage Huangmei, Tiandan Guchangqing, Ning Cai Shen, Gu Cheng, Bai Bu Yi, and Zhao Chun Qiu, the six divine sect masters, all sat under the eaves.
While the dragonlet disciples of the Little Spirit Sound Temple, Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, Seven Treasures Divine Sect, and other divine sects gathered in the courtyard, each finding a place to sit cross-legged.
"Lu Tai Bai's personal disciple, Nian Xi Li, has received the enhancement of the Netherworld's mechanism art. Relying solely on the mechanism art, she has combat strength not inferior to that of a Grandmaster..."
"So, the dragonlets we send out must be the top dragonlets of each sect, only then will there be a chance to surpass Nian Xi Li."
"As long as we win one match, the bet is nullified."
Huangmei sat on a Buddha palanquin laid out under the eaves, his long eyebrows swaying in the wind, speaking without joy or sorrow.
"It shouldn't be too difficult. This little girl, I heard, is only a half-step Grandmaster in Martial Dao, has yet to condense the Martial Dao Will, and her divine essence cultivation is at the Divine Form Realm, but compared to a Grandmaster, the Divine Form Realm is just a superficial addition.
