Chapter 346: The Main Banquet, Nine Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng Peach, a Monk Holds the Golden Pagoda
Chapter 346: The Main Banquet, Nine Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng Peach, a Monk Holds the Golden Pagoda and Battles Xi Xi (Part 2)
The sound of armor clanging echoed as Ji Maoli arrived, clad in Dark Black Armor, a black cloak flowing behind him like a dark cloud from the wilderness, striking the void. He came alone.
"National Master, it seems... your plan has failed."
Ji Maoli spoke in a low voice.
There was a hint of schadenfreude in his words, but his tone did not convey any malicious intent.
National Master Xie Yunshen, sitting in his chair, relaxed his frown, "You activated the bloodline power within Zhou Chi Guo's body?"
Ji Maoli paused, then nodded.
Although his actions were subtle, those with keen observation could still notice them.
"But you were crushed."
National Master Xie Yunshen stroked his beard and smiled.
Ji Maoli's lips twitched, "The bloodline power was activated in a hurry, and before it could be fully unleashed, it was crushed by Li Che's Heaven and Earth Mimicry power..."
"The Divine Embryo Technique of the Three Purity rank is indeed terrifyingly powerful, truly extraordinary."
Ji Maoli praised.
"However, he managed to block all your plans with just a single Divine Technique... Among the heroes of the Six Great Sects, no one seems capable of defeating him."
National Master Xie Yunshen took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes, "In six years, from cultivation to the current height..."
"With one Divine Transformation, invincible and peerless... Unless he achieves the Three Divine Transformations, it's unlikely to suppress him completely, truly astonishing."
"If this person is indeed the Divine Monkey, and he also possesses the ability to wield the Golden Iron Divine Rod at will, what kind of Martial Dao talent would he have?"
"Both his Martial Dao and Divine Energy talents are so extraordinary..."
National Master Xie Yunshen held the teacup in both hands and sighed.
"If this is true... we might have another Lu Tai Bai in the future."
"If the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect produces two figures of Lu Tai Bai's caliber..."
"I'll probably lose a few more hairs."
Ji Maoli also fell silent, thinking about his grudge with Li Che. A hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
A killing intent began to stir within him.
Ji Hai Hui's death at the Golden Light Prefecture, Ji Maoli was certain, was connected to Li Che.
He could disregard the deaths of the princess and You Li Qing, but Ji Hai Hui's death made Ji Maoli furious.
Because it disrupted his plans.
"I still need to find a way to prove that this person is the Divine Monkey..."
Ji Maoli turned to National Master Xie Yunshen.
National Master Xie Yunshen spread his hands, "I'm at my wit's end."
Ji Maoli's brows furrowed, as he couldn't believe that National Master Xie Yunshen, who had single-handedly restrained the eleven Divine Sects of the Great Scenery, would be out of ideas.
"National Master... Proving his identity as the Divine Monkey is of utmost importance."
Ji Maoli bowed.
The clanging of his armor echoed as he spoke.
National Master Xie Yunshen looked at Ji Maoli and sighed, "Sigh, you are so sincere... But I truly have no other way, I'm already half-buried in the ground..."
"To prove that this person is not the Divine Monkey, we can only wait for the main banquet of the Hero Feast. What can we do when the heroes of the Six Great Sects are all so useless?"
"However, you can try to find the Ji family. I heard that Li Che rejected the marriage proposal from Ji Guifei for Lu Chi... That child Lu Chi is pitiful. Ji Guifei's heart is set on the Third Prince, but the Third Prince is indeed exceptional..."
"See if you can get in touch with the Ji family, but you'll have to hurry..."
"In a few days, Li Che will likely become a Distinguished Guest Scholar at the Celestial Observatory."
"Once he becomes a Distinguished Guest Scholar, if we want to make a move on him, we'll need to provide an explanation to the Inspector."
National Master Xie Yunshen stroked his beard and smiled, spreading his hands.
"I'm afraid I can't do anything about it."
Upon hearing this, Ji Maoli's eyes flashed with a peculiar light.
Without saying more, he bid farewell and turned to leave.
After leaving the Lotus Pavilion, Zhou Chi Guo stood quietly outside the building.
"Master."
Zhou Chi Guo felt a sense of unease.
"Li Che took the White Jade Pipa, and we must retrieve it. He ruined one of my plans, and we cannot afford to fail again."
Ji Maoli paid no attention to Zhou Chi Guo and fell into deep thought.
"That old Xie Yunshen is full of ill intentions."
"He deliberately led me to the Ji family..."
Ji Maoli exhaled and slowly straightened up, releasing a terrifying pressure.
"Let's go and meet Ji Guifei."
"Go and see her..."
"An old acquaintance."
A faint smile curved Ji Maoli's lips.
...
...
At the Heavenly Yuan Academy.
The moment Li Che returned, countless cheers erupted.
The explosive cheers continued, dispelling the early spring chill and shattering it to pieces! Xi Xi's face was filled with excitement.
"Daddyyyyyy!"
Xi Xi screamed and ran towards Li Che with a few quick steps.
Li Che quickly hugged the little girl, and a smile couldn't help but bloom on his face.
"My daddy is invincible in the world!"
In Li Che's arms, Xi Xi proudly raised her head and looked down at her friends in the courtyard.
It had to be said that Lu Qingxuan, Yang Yi, Zhou Peng, and the others were indeed envious.
Li Che rubbed Xi Xi's nose: "Alright, don't get too excited. You've seen enough, now focus on consolidating your Great Master cultivation..."
"Daddy's business here is done, and whether we can really win those bets depends entirely on you, Xi Xi the Great."
There was a hint of indulgence in Li Che's voice.
Xi Xi's face immediately lost its smile, becoming solemn and serious.
This was the most challenging battle Xi Xi the Great had faced since her debut, and it was of great importance!
If she lost, not only would they lose a significant amount of bets, but more importantly, Xi Xi the Great would lose face in front of her friends!
"Daddy, rest assured. Xi Xi will do her best!"
"Just like you, crushing and dominating without defeat!"
Xi Xi clenched her little fist.
"As the daughter of the number one daddy in the world, Xi Xi must be like daddy! Only victory is allowed, defeat is forbidden!"
Li Che couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This little girl...
She had even learned to boast about herself, adding all sorts of flattering words.
Sure enough, studying with Elder Fang Hanshu, a bookworm, had taught her something.
Xi Xi seemed dissatisfied with her daddy's unrestrained laughter, feeling that he was mocking her.
She pouted like a plump carp, wriggling out of Li Che's embrace and landing on the ground, pouting. She sat cross-legged, took out a pill, and began to refine it to consolidate her cultivation.
But after consolidating her cultivation, Xi Xi opened her eyes.
"Daddy, can Xi Xi directly enter combat to consolidate my cultivation through battle?"
Xi Xi looked at Li Che expectantly.
Li Che smiled and turned to Lu Tai Bai, who was sitting under the eaves, drinking tea leisurely.
"What does the Sect Master think?"
Lu Tai Bai's silver hair fluttered, and his wide sleeves billowed: "Training through combat is not impossible..."
"But when you fight, you just use bombardment. So... what are you practicing?"
Xi Xi: "(⊙o⊙) ...
The master had discovered even his most cunning tactics!
"Then... Xi Xi can't set off fireworks!"
Xi Xi pointed with her plump fingers, a little reluctant and a little unwilling to give up. She pouted and said, "Xi Xi just wants to fight... and she's very good at it!"
Li Che rubbed Xi Xi's head.
"Go, go... and let daddy see how much you've improved after becoming a Great Master."
Xi Xi became happy and didn't immediately grab the peach branch to find a match.
Instead, she ran to her friends, hands on her hips, and excitedly announced the news of Xi Xi the Great's upcoming campaign.
She wanted her friends to witness Xi Xi the Great's conquest of the four directions.
After doing all this, Xi Xi skipped over to Zhang Ya's embrace, clenching her fist and stimulating the peach branch.
After about half an incense stick's worth of time, a match was finally found!
"Daddy, Mommy, Sect Master, Master! Xi Xi the Great is going on a campaign!"
Xi Xi's spirits lifted.
After laughing and saying this, she was teleported into the Divine Temple.
Lu Tai Bai's eyes flashed with light.
Li Che, in his ink-black robe, sat under the eaves and drank a cup of tea.
"Well done."
Lu Tai Bai praised.
He was truly surprised that Li Che's Divine Essence cultivation was so high, and he had indeed achieved seven consecutive victories and suppressed the heroes of the six great sects within a day.
"It's just a minor skill, but the Divine Embryo Technique I comprehended after breaking through the Divine Embryo Realm is powerful enough."
Li Che smiled and said.
"I can only use these three moves: Heavens and Earth mimicry, Thunder Lightning Divine Bird, and Two Minds Great Saint Temple Demon Ape Intent... After using these three moves, I’ll be completely drained, with no tricks left up my sleeve."
Li Che spread his hands, his face showing helplessness.
Lu Tai Bai narrowed his eyes, giving Li Che a doubtful look.
However, these three moves of Li Che were already enough to dominate the Preliminary Banquet.
"The main feast will be much more challenging. Normally, it’s the true monsters of various forces, those who can open mountain paths and undergo three transformations."
"Before the age of fifty, those who can reach this height will generally have the potential to climb to the peak of the absolute pinnacle."
Lu Tai Bai explained.
"Like the Golden Furred Demon of Witch God Mountain, the first dragon son of the Dragon God Clan, and the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva of the Western Buddha land... the difficulty is indeed quite substantial."
"However, if you can truly dominate everything in the main feast, you might have the chance to obtain a peach that has ripened for five thousand years or more."
Five thousand years or more?!
Li Che’s hand paused as he took a sip of tea, his eyes revealing a look of surprise.
"Five thousand years peach?"
Lu Tai Bai was very satisfied with Li Che’s shock, and with a smile, he took a sip of tea, "Yes, a five thousand years peach... At the last Peach Banquet Festival, the first hero of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect suppressed all the other heroes, obtaining a nine thousand years Ginseng Peach from the Queen Mother of the West Temple."
"Though it can’t compare to a ten thousand years peach, it is still a heaven-grade treasure belonging to the Upper Tier of the Four Greats..."
"That nine thousand years Ginseng Peach, I heard, was born from a hybrid of the Pure Yang Ginseng tree within the Queen Mother of the West Temple..."
"A nine thousand years Ginseng Peach can help break the life span limit of mortals, extending life to a thousand years."
Li Che's breathing involuntarily became heavier.
Lu Tai Bai glanced at Li Che, seeing that he was already swayed, but for Li Che, to solely rely on divine energy cultivation to dominate the Hero Feast was too difficult.
The monsters that could attend the main feast were even more powerful than Zhou Chi Guo and Monk Wukong.
"Let’s go, and see how the just-broken Young Master Xi Xi will perform in this battle, and what kind of surprise she can bring."
"Six-year-old Xi Xi, to have her bear such pressure, I must admit, I, as the Sect Master, feel somewhat guilty."
"However, pressure is the fundamental driver of growth."
Lu Tai Bai smiled, but there was no trace of guilt on his face.
Li Che could not help but laugh and cry at the same moment.
However, Li Che understood that to Lu Tai Bai, the stakes of this gamble were actually quite light. He did not care much about the outcome, even though the stakes were very attractive.
But more importantly, Lu Tai Bai was creating pressure, making Xi Xi strive and fight.
It was for the cultivation of Xi Xi.
The effect was indeed quite good, as a surge of qi had emerged in Xi Xi’s heart.
And with this surge of qi, Xi Xi successfully broke through to become a Great Master.
Hum—
Lu Tai Bai swept the golden peach branch.
Li Che and the others all entered the Queen Mother of the West Temple.
Everyone from the Heavenly Origin Academy also entered the Queen Mother of the West Temple.
...
...
Within a day, Li Che had defeated all six major divine sects with his thunderous means, and the battle with Jimo Li, who had been personally taught by the Pacify Rebellion Prince, had spread throughout the whole Divine Capital.
However, before the teahouses and taverns could widely publicize this news...
A
Father and daughter were both stepping onto the stage!
The father had just concluded his world-shaking performance, and the daughter immediately took over!
For a time, all the cultivators from the Divine Capital and various forces once again crammed into the Queen Mother of the West Temple.
And upon seeing the opponent of Xi Xi, everyone showed a look of shock.
Because this was Xi Xi’s third battle.
But for the third battle, the opponent Xi Xi faced...
Was not the Seven Treasures Divine Sect, nor the Vast Horizon Academy...
But the Little Heavenly Sound Temple!
How could it be the Little Heavenly Sound Temple?
Suddenly, all the forces understood...
The six major divine sects... Were they planning to make one final bet?
Directly letting the first dragon cub of the Little Heavenly Sound Temple take the stage.
The Vast Horizon Academy, Bashu Sword Pavilion, and Dragon Tiger Divine Sect, probably like the battle against Li Che, had already decided to go for a lousy outcome!
The first dragon cub of the Little Heavenly Sound Temple took the stage.
This match might be the most critical one in this gamble.
If Xi Xi won, then facing the subsequent three lousy divine sects, it would basically be a crushing victory, with no suspense.
But if Xi Xi lost to the first dragon cub of the Little Heavenly Sound Temple,
That would mean the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect lost this gamble.
Once this news broke out,
The forces that originally had no interest in this battle now burst into a frenzy!
The six major divine sects...
Had gone all in!
Placing all their hopes on the first dragon cub of the Little Heavenly Sound Temple!
...
...
Within the temple, on the viewing platform.
Li Che, with a divine spirit, perched on an Immortal List Divine Carving, his gaze fell upon the temple platform, his eyes showing a heavy look.
Because...
On that white jade platform.
There was a constant surge of buddha light, like a tide, the cold buddha light flowing like a current, intertwining continuously.
A fifteen-year-old little monk, tall and slender, stood opposite Xi Xi, a smile on his face.
Looking down from a height, at six-year-old Xi Xi.
One hand held up a palm vertically.
The other hand held a golden pagoda.
Victory was within grasp!
To make up for the lack of recommendations and monthly votes yesterday, I felt rather numb, just like a typing machine. I hope everyone can give some recommendations and monthly votes to help old Li regain some spirit. I’ll thank everyone in advance!
