Chapter 345: Xi Xi's Martial Dao Will, Infernal Lotus Unconquered, Even Wielding the Tight Bind, Can
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 2)
Extremely dark, as if burning the vast land, darkness suppressing light, mountains burning and seas boiling.
Boom!
Xi Xi stood up, hands on her hips, and her small belly protruding.
"Hey!"
A powerful pressure suddenly burst forth from Xi Xi, causing the air to sink and ripple outward.
It was as if a semi-transparent lotus was blooming, representing her martial arts will!
A Grand Master's martial arts will, the culmination of refined essence, energy, and spirit!
The Infernal Lotus, Xi Xi's martial arts will...
Infernal Lotus Unconquered!
"Dad!"
"Xi Xi has succeeded!"
Xi Xi's eyes lit up with the Infernal Lotus, full of excitement, hands on her hips, and her head thrown back in laughter.
"Xi Xi the Great has succeeded!"
In the courtyard, countless exclamations erupted as Xi Xi's laughter echoed.
There were countless exclamations of surprise.
Zhou Peng, Yun E, Jin Taishui, Lu Qingxuan, Yang Yi, and many other young masters from the Heavenly Origin City were all amazed and envious.
Xi Xi... was truly a freak!
A Grand Master at the age of six!
Even in the entire Dajing Court, this was extremely rare!
"Invincible!" Lu Qingxuan exclaimed.
Truly invincible!
Lu Qingxuan, who had previously been ranked first on the Dragon Whelp List before Xi Xi, now had no complaints.
How could he compare? How could he catch up?
Lu Qingxuan was already ten years old, but he was still far from becoming a Grand Master. He felt that if he could achieve that status by the age of fifteen, it would already be considered an excellent talent.
Buzz—
Beneath Xi Xi, the Infernal Lotus Windfire Golden Light Wheel spun at high speed and then flew towards Li Che!
"Dad!"
"Xi Xi is coming!"
However, just as Xi Xi collided with Li Che, he effortlessly lifted her by the back of her neck, like a cat retracting its claws.
"The situation has changed, Xi Xi the Great..."
"If not strong enough, there will be changes!"
Xi Xi muttered.
Li Che burst into laughter, dispelling the gloom brought by the Infernal Lotus Flame. Xi Xi's breakthrough to the Divine Embryo realm was still a long way off, and as her father, he would find a solution.
Moreover, Li Che possessed the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit. If necessary, he could set up the Dream Emperor's Dreamland Arena for Xi Xi daily, helping her temper her physique.
"Xi Xi, consolidate your cultivation. Dad will finish the remaining battles of the bet, and then it's up to you."
"However, now that you've broken through to the Great Master level, the upcoming battles will be a great opportunity for you to adapt."
Li Che rubbed Xi Xi's head.
Then, with a clenched fist, he grasped a peach branch, and his divine essence burst forth as he began to match opponents.
At that moment, Xi Xi realized that while she was breaking through to the Great Master level, her father had already achieved four consecutive victories!
"Oh no, I didn't get to see Father's glorious battles, what a pity!" Xi Xi's face scrunched up, and she began to pound her chest in frustration.
Lu Tai Bai rubbed Xi Xi's head, and without wasting any time, he directly brought Xi Xi into the Divine Temple for spectating.
There, Xi Xi witnessed her father summoning a fifty-zhang tall Heaven-Earth Mimicry, crossing his arms over his chest, and with just a glance, he blasted the Great Master swordsman from Bashu Sword Pavilion into a blood mist, erasing him from existence!
Xi Xi's initial joy from breaking through to the Great Master level instantly vanished.
The plan had changed drastically... Xi Xi still needed a few more years to grow stronger! Li Che felt helpless; these divine sects... they had all gone astray.
Huanran Academy, Bashu Sword Pavilion, and Dragon Tiger Divine Sect, these three great sects... had sent out heroes who weren't even Martial Saints to compete with Li Che.
This was a strategic abandonment.
Li Che crushed Zhou Chi Guo's cruel image, dealing them a significant blow.
So, they directly gave up.
Li Che was naturally helpless, but he didn't indulge them. With a single palm strike, he blasted them away, but unfortunately, due to their weakness, he didn't even give them the prepared preliminary banquet peach.
Li Che felt that these three sects were even worse; at the very least, they had disgusted Li Che, causing him no small amount of spiritual harm!
"One more match to go."
Li Che stretched lazily.
Within the Heavenly Yuan Academy, a gentle breeze blew, yet the temperature seemed to rise under the scorching gaze.
Even Lu Tai Bai couldn't help but feel his emotions stir.
"Six consecutive victories, and the last match... is it against Little Heavenly Sound Temple?"
Lu Tai Bai asked.
Li Che nodded, hoping that Little Heavenly Sound Temple would have some backbone. As the initiator, they couldn't possibly not send even a Martial Saint, right?
[Attending the Preliminary Banquet: Li Che]
[Queen Mother Xi Wangmu's Divine Essence: Nine Strands]
[Qualification Verification Passed, Eligible for the Hero Banquet]
[Preliminary Banquet Prepared, Will You Attend?]
The peach branch with nine strands of Queen Mother Xi Wangmu's divine essence trembled slightly, and Li Che's eyes lit up. With a stir of his heart, he chose to attend the banquet.
Then, Lu Tai Bai also took out a golden peach branch, and with a swift flick, he led the crowd from the Heavenly Yuan Academy to witness Li Che's seventh consecutive victory!
...
...
Little Heavenly Sound Temple.
Huang Mei sat cross-legged in a luxurious Bodhimanda Chariot, his palms pressed together, and his entire body was bathed in Buddha's light.
His eyes shone with dazzling brilliance.
Around him, the sect masters and disciples of the other five great sects all looked on with complex expressions.
Bai Bu Yi, Gu Cheng, and Zhao Chun Qiu, the sect masters of other sects, shook their heads slightly. It was clear that Huang Mei, the Great Mage, hadn't given up yet and still wanted to give it a try.
However, even Zhou Chi Guo, the powerful hero with the strength of a two-opened Sea of Qi Martial Saint and a Divine Embryo with one transformation, who had received the bloodline baptism from the disciple of Ji Maoli, was crushed by Li Che.
The disciples of the other sects felt a sense of helplessness as if they were facing a great demon king.
This caused the sect masters to choose to give up, no longer holding on to hope.
"Amitabha, this monk is willing to give it a try."
The young monk called "Wukong" pressed his palms together, looking very thin, but his gaze was firm.
"If I lose this battle, my master will have to cut off a three-life incarnation. I am willing to do my best to protect my master's three-life incarnation."
The monk said.
Huang Mei's gaze flickered, and with a hand seal, he smiled faintly, "Wukong, go and do your best."
"This Li Che cultivates Heaven-Earth Mimicry, and he also has another unknown Three Purity rank Divine Essence secret technique... Do your best."
The monk pressed his palms together and bowed respectfully. His gaze was determined as he grasped the peach branch and teleported into the Divine Temple.
...
...
Li Che's embroidered golden lotus robe fluttered in the wind as he crossed his arms, looking calmly at the thin monk in gray robes who appeared before him.
"Amitabha."
The monk faced Li Che, pressing his palms together.
Li Che looked calmly at the monk surrounded by Buddha's light. Although he appeared thin, beneath his flesh, his hidden strength was formidable.
"Li Che, my master says that you have a connection with Buddhism. I wonder if you are willing to put down your butcher's knife and convert to Buddhism?"
The monk asked sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Li Che couldn't help but laugh, "Little monk, are you willing to give up Buddhism, return to secular life, and start a family?"
The monk was taken aback and shook his head, "Since I can remember, all I've seen is Buddha. In my heart, there is only Buddha, and I will spend all my time in this life pursuing the principles of Buddhism."
Li Che smiled faintly, "Then that's that..."
"Your unwillingness to return to secular life is like my unwillingness to convert to Buddhism."
"In your heart, there is Buddha, and in my heart, there are my wife and daughter."
Li Che said.
"Amitabha, in the secular world, everything is a source of affliction. Let go of everything, and you will find freedom and peace." The monk spoke sincerely, wanting to argue with Li Che. However, Li Che waved his hand dismissively, showing some impatience.
"Amitabha, then I, the poor monk, will first seek instruction from Li Half-Saint's strength."
The monk said earnestly.
Hearing this, Li Che's gaze lifted slightly, and his eyes fell on the monk.
Boom!
The monk took a step forward, and suddenly, his entire body swelled with surging strength. A vast Buddha's light shone upon him, filling his surroundings and constantly expanding...
Finally, he transformed into a ten-zhang tall Vajra Bodhimanda with a furious expression, his entire body shimmering with golden Buddha's light, and within it, Buddhist scriptures glowed brightly!
"Vajra Bodhimanda!"
The monk roared, and within the Vajra Bodhimanda, his skin turned crimson as his surging strength erupted, impacting his pores and acupoints.
It was as if every pore on the monk's body was releasing steam from a pressure cooker.
The originally thin monk suddenly swelled up, his body turning crimson like red-hot iron. On his bald head, each trembling red muscle seemed to writhe like a coiling snake!
The monk's neck was adorned with Buddhist beads, radiating intense Buddha's light!
As the monk tilted his head back, his mouth opened, revealing sharp fangs, and the ten-zhang Buddha's light seemed like countless golden rays, devoid of warmth, only carrying a bone-chilling coldness!
"This poor monk, Wukong from Little Heavenly Sound Temple..."
"Please, Li Half-Saint, bestow your teachings."
The monk, whose physical body seemed to have been pushed to its limits, opened his Divine Aura and glared intensely.
His voice thundered like a startling clap of thunder throughout the entire Divine Palace.
The spectators, who had been observing the divine feast, felt their eardrums vibrate and their bodies tingle. A sense of oppression filled their hearts.
"A Sea of Qi Martial Saint!"
"Moreover, a Two-Transformation Divine Embryo!"
Lu Tai Bai's eyes narrowed, and his eyebrows furrowed.
"That cunning old bald donkey, Huang Mei, indeed had an ace up his sleeve!"
"This level of strength... is not much weaker than that of Zhou Chi Guo, the personal disciple of Ji Li Shou, who underwent the bloodline baptism."
The atmosphere suddenly turned solemn. All the divine cultivators present, who had initially thought this would be a straightforward battle without suspense, similar to the previous encounters with the Vast Horizon Academy, Ba Shu Sword Pavilion, and other divine sects, were taken aback.
Unexpectedly, Little Heavenly Sound Temple seemed to have more tricks up its sleeve, even aiming to turn the tables! They had been hiding such a powerful move!
"Wukong?!"
"This monk, called Wukong, is likely the hidden trump card of Little Heavenly Sound Temple, aiming to make a name for himself at the Peach Banquet Festival's Hero Feast."
"But who would have thought that in the preliminary banquet, his true strength would be forced out!"
The sect leaders of the various divine sects focused their gazes, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The competition at the Hero Feast of the Peach Banquet Festival was undoubtedly much more intense than the preliminary banquet.
For this Hero Feast, the Grand Court had invited not only the various divine sects but also numerous vassal kings, the Great Li Royal Court, the Witch God Mountain, the Dragon God Clan, the Western Buddha Land, and many other external powers to participate!
This was not the first time; in the previous Peach Banquet Festival, the genius young witch god, Golden Furred Demon, from Witch God Mountain, had shone brilliantly and almost claimed the top spot at the Hero Feast, but in the end, he was defeated by the first hero of the Heaven Master Dao Purple Mansion Divine Sect.
However, it seemed that this Golden Furred Demon would also be participating in this session!
"We're in for an exciting show."
The spectators in attendance became more alert and focused.
...
...
"Wukong?"
Li Che crossed his arms, slightly startled, as he looked at the monk with a flushed face and bared teeth, his features contorted in ferocity.
He exhaled slowly.
His eyebrows parted, and his divine essence surged forth!
Within his inner realm.
The True Monkey Divine Embryo, mimicking heaven and earth, was also trembling intensely, as if roaring in anger.
There was a sense of indignation at being desecrated—an extreme indignation!
Boom—
Li Che held nothing back, and his gaze upon the novice monk gradually turned cold.
In the next moment, facing the storm, his divine essence surged.
Li Che's heaven and earth mimicry began to soar...
Boom, boom, boom!!!
It was as if a mountain had risen from the earth!
When his heaven and earth mimicry reached fifty zhang, the monk named Wukong, feeling immense pressure, roared. His Divine Aura began to run wildly on the jade platform of the divine palace. The giant footprints of his massive feet indented the jade platform!
With a leap, the platform shook violently, and countless spider web-like cracks appeared!
The Divine Aura took off, leaping high. Wukong, within the Divine Aura, suddenly took out a golden hoop.
The moment the golden hoop appeared, an incredibly powerful divine essence wave surged and spread!
Within the heavenly palace chessboard, the suspended Heaven-Straddling Face seemed to shake violently at this moment, as if an enraged roar echoed throughout every corner of the heavenly palace chessboard!
The True Monkey Divine Embryo in Li Che's inner realm was more intense than ever before. He sensed this anger and the trembling of the Heaven-Straddling Face.
Li Che's eyes turned cold, and he began to unleash his divine essence without reservation, after all, this was the final battle of the wagered duel, and he didn't need to hold back!
Moreover, at this moment, Li Che understood the intentions of the little monk from Little Heavenly Sound Temple!
"You want to bind me with the golden hoop and make me surrender?"
In Li Che's chest, the Impure Heart Dao Fruit trembled wildly!
The Dao Fruit's divine essence burst forth.
With Dao induction, the Seven-Cavity Exquisite Heart suddenly expanded.
Countless divine essences, like rivers, gushed out!
Then, the True Monkey Divine Embryo emerged from between his eyebrows, merging with the heaven and earth mimicry!
The heaven and earth mimicry transformed into a demon monkey form, and under Li Che's full release, it continued to soar!
Finally, it reached a height of one hundred zhang!
It almost touched the top of the divine palace, reaching the height of the Queen Mother of the West Temple's divine statue!
His five fingers clenched, and the air exploded!
The entire divine palace seemed to tremble!
A fierce punch was thrown!
The golden hoop that the novice monk had summoned shot out serpent-like divine lights, wrapping around the hundred-zhang-tall demon monkey's arm, intending to bind the heaven and earth mimicry!
However, the Seven-Cavity Exquisite Heart trembled!
The divine lights shattered inch by inch!
The golden hoop instantly dimmed, as if all the divine lights had been dispersed...
Then, it was torn off by the other hand of the demon monkey and forcefully clamped onto the Divine Aura's head. Grabbing the Divine Aura, it was swung left and right, smashing it!
The Divine Aura had no power to resist against the hundred-zhang-tall demon monkey's heaven and earth mimicry!
It was smashed to pieces...
Boom, boom, boom!!!
"You dare call yourself Wukong while holding that golden hoop?!"
The Divine Aura was thrown high into the air.
The demon monkey, with heaven and earth mimicry, clenched its five fingers, summoning five streams of darkness that obscured the heavens!
Twisting his waist!
Sidestepping!
Throwing a punch!
The punch was like a whip, rolling like thunder!
The monk hidden within the Divine Aura couldn't help but reveal a look of shock and bewilderment in his eyes.
Boom!!!
The Divine Aura, along with the monk's flesh and blood, turned into air and vanished!
With this punch.
Seven consecutive victories!
The entire Queen Mother of the West Temple...
Fell into absolute silence!
Invincible and unmatched!
The first chapter is complete. I wrote it smoothly yesterday, so I'll continue with the next one. I might not be able to finish it by three o'clock, so I'll continue tomorrow. I've adjusted my sleep schedule, and it feels much better. It's been two months since I last asked for votes, and with little exposure, I'd appreciate it if you could cast your monthly votes to help us climb the rankings. Thank you!
