Chapter 345: Xi Xi's Martial Dao Will, Infernal Lotus Unconquered, Even Wielding the Tight Bind, Can You Still Call Yourself Wukong? [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 1)
In the vast expanse of the sky, the leaden clouds dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky. The edges of the clouds glowed with a golden rim under the sun's rays.
The sunlight shone brilliantly, normally bringing warmth and comfort.
However, for many in the Little Spiritual Sound Mansion, it only brought a chill to their bones.
Silence, disappointment, despair, helplessness...
A myriad of emotions swirled within the Little Spiritual Sound Mansion.
The Vast Horizon Academy's chancellor, who was also the sect master of the Vast Horizon Academy, Bai Bu Yi, his scholarly robe fluttering, a look of helplessness on his face, stroked his flowing beard and looked at a young scholar dressed in a green robe.
"You go ahead."
"Just go through the motions. We are abandoning this preliminary banquet."
Bai Bu Yi said calmly.
"We in the Vast Horizon Academy are scholars, we don't advocate violence. Although we may not fear it, if we can't win, there's no need to fight."
"Scholars value harmony above all."
Bai Bu Yi did not hide his intentions, openly admitting that their hero could not match Li Che.
The first hero of the Vast Horizon Academy, sitting in the corner, nodded repeatedly. Scholars should have a sense of measure; if they can't win, there's no need to offer their face for a beating.
Cui Haoran, the first hero of the Vast Horizon Academy, closed his eyes and nodded continuously.
"Ah?! Chancellor... You want me to fight Li Che, the Demi-Saint? Me? Me?!"
The scholar who was called out felt as if the sky had fallen.
Even Master Cui had to avoid his sharp edge, and even Ji Maoli's direct disciple, Zhou Chi Guo, who possessed the strength of a Martial Saint and a Divine Embryo, was crushed.
How could he, a Divine Essence Great True Man, a diligent scholar at the Great Master level, possibly stand a chance against such a demon?
Chancellor... How could you be so heartless!
However, the scholar, though reluctantly, ultimately had no choice but to agree.
He wasn't foolish; it was clear that the chancellor had already given up on this battle. Sending him to fight... was essentially the same as letting Li Che have a bye.
It was just to avoid wasting one of Cui Haoran's preliminary banquet opportunities.
Favored ones often act without fear. If he had Master Cui's talent, he might not have been chosen to go to the banquet.
However, the disciple was quite straightforward. He composed a poem on the spot, with a grand and tragic air, and holding the Golden Peach Branch, he was directly teleported into the Divine Palace.
This battle, the six sect masters of the Little Spiritual Sound Mansion didn't even bother to enter the Divine Palace to watch, as there was no suspense.
Their gazes turned to the solemn figure in the courtyard.
Ji Maoli and his direct disciple, Zhou Chi Guo, still stood in the center of the courtyard, their expressions cold, about to enter the Divine Palace to watch Li Che's battle with Zhou Chi Guo.
However, Ji Maoli soon retreated.
He saw Li Che take away Zhou Chi Guo's White Jade Pipa, saying it was a bet for Zhou Chi Guo's participation.
The six sect masters had all made bets. Since Ji Maoli had his disciple participate, he couldn't just get a free shot without putting anything on the line, right?
The other six sect masters showed no reaction to Li Che's behavior.
They could only say...
Li Che, as expected, was known for his honesty and fairness.
He was indeed thoughtful and considerate, aiming for fairness.
Li Che took away Ji Maoli's direct disciple's White Jade Pipa, which was a mythic weapon of the Lower Tier Four Greats, a legacy from the Queen Mother Xi Odd Temple, the Deliverance Bodhimanda King Earth Fire Water Wind Harp.
Its value was comparable to a Three Incarnations of the Archmage Huang Mei.
Z
He had made a grave mistake!
That mythic weapon, the Deliverance Bodhimanda King Earth Fire Water Wind Harp, was extremely important to the Prince!
It was of great significance!
He had actually... lost this divine weapon!
A
Ji Maoli slowly opened his eyes, his Dark Black Armor clanging, a storm raging in the courtyard, reflecting his intense anger.
His deep, dark eyes showed no emotion, but everyone felt a heavy pressure.
"Prince, Li Che has sent a message to you. The White Jade Pipa has been taken by Li Che as a bet for the Prince sending his disciple to the banquet..."
Huang Mei spoke calmly, a faint smile on his weathered face.
You're so impressive, aren't you?
You thought your disciple was so strong...
But he still lost?
You still had to give up something?
Ji Maoli glanced at Huang Mei, his brows slightly furrowed, and finally exhaled.
"Indeed, you all made bets. Since I intervened, I should also put something on the line."
"Fair."
Ji Maoli said calmly.
He turned and left the courtyard, his black cloak flaring like a dark cloud, Zhou Chi Guo hurrying to follow, each step trembling.
Outside the courtyard.
Ji Maoli's gaze turned toward the Heavenly Origin Academy.
"Teacher... I..."
Zhou Chi Guo opened his mouth, but Ji Maoli waved a hand.
"It's not your fault. This person has grown too quickly, and his divine energy talent is terrifying."
"In just six years, he has reached such heights. No wonder his daughter could become Lu Tai Bai's direct disciple... talent can be inherited."
"But it's strange, with such talent, how could his purple qi talent have been unknown when he was a child?"
Ji Maoli frowned.
"White Jade Pipa..." Zhou Chi Guo took a deep breath.
Ji Maoli raised his hand and pressed down lightly.
"The Deliverance Bodhimanda King Earth Fire Water Wind Harp... It is crucial to my plans. I cannot lose it; I must retrieve it.
"Li Che..."
Ji Maoli's eyes were as dark as two bottomless pits.
Could Li Che really be the Monkey God?
But... does the Monkey God possess such a formidable Divine Essence talent?!
The Monkey God's specialty is in Martial Dao, and his Martial Dao should have reached the level of a Second-Tier Martial Saint. If the Monkey God is Li Che...
In other words, within a short period, Li Che has reached a terrifying level in both Divine Essence and Martial Dao!
"If that's truly the case..."
"This person..."
"Absolutely cannot be spared!"
Ji Maoli spoke in a low voice, like a deep rumble of thunder, reverberating all around.
"Let's go, back to the Lotus Pavilion."
...
...
The Heaven and Earth Mimicry technique suddenly soared, and the terrifying Divine Essence seemed to pour down like a mountain and a sea of destruction.
It intertwined and converged into an enormous palm, fiercely slamming down!
The white jade platform paved with bricks trembled violently, and then spider web-like cracks spread out. Beneath that palm...
The Divine Essence Great True Man from Vast Horizon Academy was directly struck into annihilation, and the Queen Mother Xi Wangmu's Divine Essence on the peach branch was directly kicked out of her temple.
"He actually sent a Divine Essence Great True Man to deal with me... Vast Horizon Academy has given up."
Within the Heaven and Earth Mimicry, Li Che crossed his arms, and his expression couldn't help but reveal a strange color.
However, even though the opponent's cultivation was only at the Divine Essence Great True Man level, Li Che, who often played the role of the villain, remained vigilant in his heart, worrying that the Vast Horizon Academy's Divine Essence Great True Man might have hidden cultivation.
It wasn't until he thoroughly annihilated the opponent that Li Che confirmed that the opponent was indeed just a Divine Essence Great True Man.
"Did I go too far?" Li Che reflected on his actions for a moment but quickly dismissed the thought.
After all, this kind of battle involved a century-old wager, and Li Che dared not take it lightly.
Scholars are never straightforward; they are full of mischief, and being cautious is the key to success.
Li Che walked to the desk, and as expected, because the opponent's strength was too weak, defeating them wasn't considered a heroic feat, and there wasn't even a peach, only a cup of tea.
Li Che finished the cup of tea in one gulp, and for a moment, his soul was clear, and the taste was excellent.
After scanning the temple, Li Che thought for a moment and flicked his finger, leaving a milky white flying thunder chess piece under the statue of the Queen Mother Xi Wangmu.
Then, Li Che chose to activate the Divine Essence on the peach branch and returned to Heavenly Origin Academy.
In the courtyard.
The disciples of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect gathered together, their faces filled with excitement as they chattered nonstop. Their gazes towards Li Che were now filled with nothing but fervor and respect!
Indeed, Li Che had earned the title of Elder.
When the disciples of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect were being bullied, he stepped forward and crushed the encirclement of the six divine sects' heroes with overwhelming strength.
It was as if, in the endless darkness, they had seen a sword of light tearing through the dark clouds! Unfortunately, Elder Li was an elder of the Divine Falcon Ridge, and to become his disciple, one must possess exceptional Divine Falcon talent; otherwise, it would be impossible to follow Li Che's cultivation path.
This time, Li Che did not continue to match opponents.
He felt that the remaining three divine sects' heroes needed some time to cool down.
If they all acted like Vast Horizon Academy and threw the match, Li Che felt a bit cheated, after all... he didn't even get to eat a peach.
Li Che looked at Xi Xi, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the courtyard. Xi Xi's vital energy began to surge.
With Li Che's current Martial Saint level perception, he could easily see Xi Xi's transformation.
True energy and force were merging, rushing into her five viscera and six bowels, tempering her five viscera and refining her six bowels!
Xi Xi, sitting cross-legged on the ground, had force spreading from her spine, like a vast net, encompassing every part of her body and reaching throughout.
Her muscles were trembling at an incredibly high speed, becoming more resilient and powerful, like a thousand-forged fine steel.
Her five viscera and six bowels, as well as her limbs and bones, seemed to awaken and transform at this moment, brewing a powerful Martial Dao energy.
This was the fundamental energy of the Martial Dao, an extremely important energy for breaking through from the Master level to the Great Master level of the physical body.
Li Che's forehead acupoint opened and closed, and golden light flashed through his mind.
He could see Xi Xi's purple flame snake spear and fire-tipped spear in her left hand, the divine gold brick in her right hand, and the Infernal Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel under her feet, all vibrating and releasing the divine nature of the mythical weapon...
Causing Xi Xi's entire body to be tempered, and her five viscera and six bowels to be tempered as well! Xi Xi's little belly was even trembling at an incredibly high frequency, a thousand times in a second! Her undulating little belly even created a blurry shadow.
The rich and dense vital energy erupted and became increasingly intense!
Lu Tai Bai's fingers flicked out one sword pill after another, floating around Xi Xi, seemingly entering a state of alertness.
"It's the final stage!"
Lu Tai Bai said, focusing his mind.
The entire courtyard fell silent, and Li Che didn't rush to continue matching opponents.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
In the courtyard, there was suddenly a powerful and robust heartbeat, reverberating loudly.
Xi Xi's small body suddenly floated up, and her vital energy seemed to evaporate like dense fog, intertwining around her body.
Zhang Ya, Mu Popo, and others were all startled, looking over with concern.
Li Qingshan, Nie Yang, and other strong cultivators who had broken through to the Great Master level had their eyes shining with surprise, as Xi Xi's breakthrough seemed different from theirs!
Yun E, Zhou Peng, Jin Taishui, and the other children were incredibly excited, clenching their fists and their eyes burning with intensity.
Lu Qingxuan, Yang Yi, and the other Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Dragon Whelp disciples were in awe, knowing what Xi Xi was doing at this moment.
Xi Xi was about to become a Great Master!
A six-year-old Great Master!
The courtyard was filled with the sound of howling air currents as they swirled and surged, and the hot vital energy erupted, causing the early spring's cold air and hot air to alternate in a vortex-like phenomenon. The vital energy erupted, the hot air sank, and the cold air rose, swirling like a vortex!
Xi Xi's entire body floated in mid-air, her black hair flying, and her robes fluttering, but even her robes couldn't conceal the brilliance emanating from her body.
It was as if the pores and membranes of her entire body were glowing, and all 360 of her body's orifices were emitting light!
Divine Armament energy poured into her body, transforming her five viscera and six bowels, as well as her bones and meridians!
Vaguely, the thick, viscous blood within Xi Xi's body slowly moved, and slowly, it seemed as if a lightning-like blood-colored light was weaving together!
That was...
Divine Aura!
Sharp and domineering, its strength far surpassed the true energy of the Master level! Li Che's forehead acupoint opened and closed, and he discovered that Xi Xi's Great Master level was extremely powerful, continuing the tempering of her physical body like a furnace!
Li Che relied on cultivating the Master level ultimate skill to the extreme, refining an incredibly resilient Divine Aura, while Xi Xi's transformation was entirely due to the tempering of the Divine Armament.
The forging of the divine weapon, coupled with the tempering of the Infernal Lotus Flame, made Xi Xi's physique incredibly powerful and terrifying!
Boom!
A black Infernal Lotus divine pattern blossomed on Xi Xi's forehead, emitting a dazzling brilliance. A scorching black flame erupted, the Infernal Lotus Flame!
The flame swept through the surroundings, but it was suppressed by Lu Tai Bai's finger-flicked sword pellet, preventing it from spreading too far.
However, the air seemed to be scorched and distorted.
A black lotus burst forth from beneath Xi Xi, releasing an incredibly powerful divine essence force. It spread from beneath Xi Xi, enveloping her entirely.
For a moment, the entire courtyard fell silent, and an overwhelming divine pressure spread out.
Sizzle—
Heat waves rolled off Xi Xi's body, and finally, like a vortex, they all surged into Xi Xi's heart, as if being poured into a funnel, slowly infusing her.
The Infernal Lotus Flame that entered Xi Xi's heart was like a puddle being trampled and burst, instantly exploding and shooting out like water arrows, surging through her limbs and bones!
A divine aura pulsated around Xi Xi, vibrating intensely and emitting a buzzing sound!
"Success," Lu Tai Bai exhaled, his silver hair flying and his wide sleeves fluttering.
The golden light on Li Che's forehead faded and healed, but there wasn't much joy on his face.
"That Infernal Lotus..." Li Che spoke solemnly.
The joy on Lu Tai Bai's face gradually faded as well. "The Infernal Lotus Flame hasn't disappeared. The Third Prince deceived us. When Xi Xi breaks through to the Divine Embryo realm, this Infernal Lotus Flame will definitely reappear. If Xi Xi's physical body isn't tempered to a powerful enough degree by then, she'll likely be burned to ashes by the Infernal Lotus Flame."
"Xi Xi's physique is already very strong, having just broken through to the Grand Master realm. With the help of the Purple Flame Snake Spear, the Golden Brick, and the Infernal Lotus Windfire Golden Light Wheel, her body is like a furnace, truly formidable... but it's still not enough."
Lu Tai Bai sighed.
"Xi Xi's divine essence is growing too fast... At this rate, her martial arts might not be able to keep up with her divine essence breakthrough."
"The normal methods of martial arts cultivation to temper the body may not be enough to enhance Xi Xi's physique to withstand the refinement of the Infernal Lotus Flame..."
Suddenly, Lu Tai Bai raised his head and looked at Li Che, his eyes flashing. "Ah Che, aren't you about to go to the Celestial Observatory to participate in the Distinguished Guest Scholar assessment?"
"If you can achieve the rank of Distinguished Guest Scholar, you'll have the opportunity to ascend to the top of the Eight Treasure Roofed Tower of Heaven Divination in the Second City of the Divine Capital and meet the Great Inspector, a master of divine calculations."
"You can ask the Great Inspector if there's a way."
"The Great Inspector... should have a solution."
Lu Tai Bai suggested a method to Li Che.
Li Che was taken aback, his heart stirred by this idea. It was indeed a very good suggestion!
Whoosh—
Xi Xi's figure landed on the ground, and she suddenly opened her eyes. Her two big eyes, as clear as water, seemed to have black flames burning within, and these black flames took the shape of the Infernal Lotus!
