Chapter 346: The Main Banquet, Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng Peach, the Monk Holds the Golden Pagod
Chapter 346: The Main Banquet, Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng Peach, the Monk Holds the Golden Pagoda to Battle Xixi 【Seeking Monthly Votes】 (Part 2)
"Good wine," Li Che praised. It was not much different from the dragon blood wine the boss had given him.
Although the taste was slightly inferior, its effect on cultivation assistance was even more remarkable.
Li Che thought that it was probably due to the difference in ingredients.
Stretching lazily, Li Che put down the wine jar, and then his entire person disappeared within the divine temple.
After Li Che's disappearance, the empty divine temple suddenly echoed with a leisurely sigh.
Countless Buddha lights crushed by Li Che inexplicably began to slowly gather together.
Finally, they transformed into the shape of a tight bind.
Suddenly, within the divine temple, a terrifying divine essence began to boil.
Boom! The Buddha light and tight bind instantly shattered into pieces!
...
...
Lotus Pavilion.
The bright sunlight shone in, making the water surface glitter, and three lotus flowers bloomed splendidly.
The old man in his flying clothes descended the bamboo ladder, and his brows furrowed.
National Teacher Xie Yunshen's eyes revealed a hint of strangeness.
"Sir, Pacify Disturbance Prince has come to pay his respects," said a guard with a long sword at his waist, rushing over and bowing.
"Let him come," Xie Yunshen said, sitting at the main desk and starting to brew tea, his brows furrowed, forming a permanent frown.
The clanking sound of armor echoed as Ji Moli arrived, clad in black armor and a black cloak, like a dark cloud from the frontier, whipping the void. He came alone.
"National Teacher, it seems... your plan has failed," Ji Moli said in a low voice.
There was a hint of schadenfreude in his words, but his tone carried no such intention.
Xie Yunshen, sitting in the chair, relaxed his frown, "You activated the bloodline power within Zhou Chi Guo's body?"
Ji Moli paused, then nodded.
His actions were subtle, but those with keen eyes could still notice.
"But you were crushed," Xie Yunshen said, stroking his beard and smiling.
Ji Moli's lips twitched, "The bloodline power was hastily activated, and before it could be fully unleashed, it was crushed by Li Che's law of heaven and earth..."
"The divine embryo secret art of the Three Pures rank is indeed terrifyingly powerful and extraordinary," Ji Moli praised.
"However, he blocked all your plans with just one divine essence secret art... None of the heroes from the six great divine sects seem capable of revealing this monkey's true form."
Xie Yunshen took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes, "Six years, from cultivating temperament to this height..."
"The divine embryo's first transformation is invincible and unparalleled... Unless the divine embryo undergoes three transformations, it's possible to firmly suppress him, which is truly astonishing."
"If this person is truly the divine monkey and also holds the Mind-Altering Golden Iron Rod, what kind of Martial Dao Will would that be?"
Xie Yunshen sighed, holding the teacup with only admiration in his eyes.
"If this is true... there might be another Lu Tai Bai in the future."
"If the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect produces two figures of Lu Tai Bai's caliber..."
"I'll have to grow more white hair."
Ji Moli also fell silent, thinking of his grudge with Li Che. His eyes revealed a hint of sharpness.
A killing intent surged within him.
Ji Haihui's death at the Golden Light Mansion was, Ji Moli believed, undoubtedly related to Li Che.
He could disregard the deaths of the empress and You Liqing, but Ji Haihui's death made Ji Moli furious because it disrupted his plans.
"I still need to find a way to prove that this person is the divine monkey..."
Ji Moli turned to National Teacher Xie Yunshen.
Xie Yunshen spread his hands, "I'm out of ideas."
Ji Moli frowned, not believing that National Teacher Xie Yunshen, who had single-handedly restrained the eleven divine sects of the Dajing Dynasty, would be at a loss.
"National Teacher... Proving the divine monkey's identity is crucial," Ji Moli said, bowing.
The armor on his body clanged as he moved.
Xie Yunshen looked at Ji Moli and sighed, "Alas, you are so sincere... But I truly have no solution, half my body is almost buried in the ground..."
"To prove whether this person is the divine essence, I'm half-buried in the ground..."
"To prove whether this person is the divine monkey, we can only wait for the main banquet of the Heroic Gathering. What can I say? The heroes of the six great divine sects are all useless."
"However, you can try seeking out the Ji Family. I heard that Li Che rejected the marriage proposal from Imperial Concubine Ji... That Lu Chi, he's pitiful. Imperial Concubine Ji has her heart set on the Third Prince, but the Third Prince is indeed exceptional..."
"See if you can contact the Ji Family, but you'll need to hurry..."
"In a few days, Li Che will likely become a Distinguished Guest Scholar of the Heaven-forecasting Bureau."
"Once he becomes a Distinguished Guest Scholar, if anyone tries to move against him, the Grand Supervisor will have to provide an explanation."
National Teacher Xie Yunshen stroked his beard and smiled, spreading his hands in resignation.
"This old man is helpless."
Ji Moli's eyes flashed with a peculiar color upon hearing this.
Without saying more, he bid farewell and turned to leave.
After leaving the Lotus Pavilion, he stood quietly outside the building.
"Master."
Zhou Chi Guo felt a sense of unease.
"Li Che took away the Jade Pipa. We must retrieve it. He ruined my plan once, and I can't afford to fail again."
Ji Moli paid no heed to Zhou Chi Guo and fell into deep thought.
"However... This old Xie Yunshen, he's full of mischief."
"Intentionally leading me towards the Ji Family..."
Ji Moli exhaled, slowly straightening up, his terrifying pressure gradually released.
"Let's go and pay a visit to Imperial Concubine Ji."
"To see her..."
"An old acquaintance."
Ji Moli's lips curled slightly, a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
...
...
Heavenly Origin Academy.
The moment Li Che returned, countless cheers erupted, shattering the early spring's chill.
Xixi's face was filled with excitement.
"Daddy! Yay!"
Xixi screamed, running towards Li Che with quick steps.
Li Che hurriedly hugged the little girl, his face breaking into a smile.
"My daddy, invincible under heaven!"
Xixi, in Li Che's embrace, proudly lifted her head, looking down at her peers in the courtyard.
It was true that Zhou Chi Guo, Yang Yi, Zhou Peng, and others couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.
Li Che rubbed Xixi's nose, "Alright, don't get too excited. You've seen enough, now focus on consolidating your Grandmaster cultivation..."
"Daddy's done here. Whether we can really collect the bets depends entirely on you, Xixi the Great."
There was a hint of indulgence in Li Che's voice.
Xixi's smile vanished, her expression turning solemn and serious.
This was the most challenging battle Xixi the Great would face since her debut, a matter of great importance!
If she lost, not only would she lose a large number of bets, but more importantly, she would no longer be able to hold her head high in front of her peers.
"Daddy, don't worry. Xixi the Great will only win, not lose!"
Xixi clenched her little fist.
"As the cute, lively, clever, and intelligent daughter of Daddy, Xixi will be like Daddy! Only victory, no defeat!"
Li Che couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This little girl...
She even learned to boast about herself, adding all sorts of flowery words.
Indeed, studying with Elder Fang Hanshu, a bookish man, had taught her a thing or two.
Xixi seemed dissatisfied with Daddy's unrestrained laughter, feeling mocked.
She wiggled like a plump carp, breaking free from Li Che's embrace and sitting cross-legged on the ground, pouting. She took out a pill and swallowed it, beginning to refine her cultivation.
However, after consolidating for a while, Xixi opened her eyes.
"Daddy, can Xixi go straight into battle and consolidate her cultivation through combat?"
Xixi looked at Li Che with pleading eyes.
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, his sleeves puffed, "Practicing through combat is not impossible..."
"But when you fight, you directly use mechanisms for bombardment. So... what are you practicing?"
Xixi: "(⊙o⊙)..."
The Master had discovered even this tricky angle!
"Then... Xixi can't let off fireworks!"
Xixi's two chubby fingers pointed, a bit reluctant and unwilling. She pouted, "Xixi just wants to fight... that would make her happy."
Li Che rubbed Xixi's head.
"Go ahead, let Daddy see how much you've improved after breaking through to the Grandmaster realm."
Xixi immediately brightened up. Instead of immediately grasping the peach branch to match her opponent, she started jumping excitedly.
Only after doing all this did Xixi hop into Zhang Ya's embrace, her fingers clenching the peach branch.
After about half an incense stick's time, she finally matched with an opponent!
"Daddy, Mommy, Sect Master! Xixi the Great is going to battle!"
Xixi's spirit rose.
After a hearty laugh, she was teleported into the Divine Temple.
Lu Tai Bai's eyes flashed.
Li Che, in his ink-colored robe, sat under the eaves, also sipping a cup of tea.
"Not bad."
Lu Tai Bai praised.
He was genuinely surprised by Li Che's divine essence cultivation, which was so high that he had actually achieved seven consecutive victories and suppressed the heroes of the six great sects in a single day.
"It's just a minor skill. The divine embryo secret art I comprehended after breaking through the divine embryo is quite powerful."
Li Che said with a smile.
(End of Chapter)The young Li Che spread his hands helplessly, his expression filled with resignation. "I only have three moves: Mimicking Heaven and Earth, Divine Thunder Falcon, and Two Hearts Great Sage Monkey's Divine Intent... After using these three moves, I'll be completely drained, with no hidden trump cards left."
Zhou Liqing, with a twinkle in his eyes, looked at Li Che, but he wasn't entirely convinced.
However, Li Che's three signature moves had proven to be more than enough during the preliminary banquet.
"The main banquet will be much more challenging. Usually, it's the cultivators who have reached the Open Mountain Realm and the Third Transformation that are the real prodigies of the various major powers," he whispered.
"By the age of fifty, those who reach this height will have a chance to ascend to the peak of the absolute pinnacle."
Zhou Liqing spoke with a smile.
"The Golden Furred Goblin from Witch God Mountain, the first dragon son of the Dragon God Clan, the Golden Cicada Buddha from the Western Land of Buddha... These are all quite formidable opponents."
"But if you can truly dominate everyone in the main banquet, you might have a chance to obtain a 5,000-year-old or older Divine Peach."
A 5,000-year-old or older Divine Peach?!
Li Che's tea-drinking hand paused, and his eyes widened in astonishment.
"A 5,000-year-old Divine Peach?"
Zhou Liqing was pleased by Li Che's surprise and took a sip of tea. "Yes, a 5,000-year-old Divine Peach... During the previous Divine Peach Festival, the top hero from the Purple Mansion Sect obtained a 9,000-year-old Divine Peach from the Queen Mother's Temple."
"Although it's not as good as a 10,000-year-old Divine Peach, it's still considered a top-tier Heaven and Earth treasure..."
"That 9,000-year-old Divine Peach was born from the Pure Yang Divine Peach Tree in the Queen Mother's Temple. If you can..."
Li Che's breathing became heavy as he heard these words.
Zhou Liqing looked at Li Che and knew that he was intrigued, but for Li Che, relying solely on his divine nature cultivation to dominate the Hero Gathering would be extremely challenging.
The prodigies who could participate in the main banquet were even more powerful than Zhou Chi Guo and Wukong Monk.
"Let's go and see what surprises the newly advanced Grandmaster Xi Xi can bring to this battle."
"At the age of six, Xi Xi has to bear this pressure. I must say that I, as the sect master, feel a bit guilty."
"But pressure is what drives us and is the fundamental force for growth."
Zhou Liqing smiled, but there was no trace of guilt on his face.
Li Che couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.
However, Li Che also understood that Zhou Liqing didn't take this gamble too seriously and wasn't overly concerned about winning or losing.
The stakes were indeed enticing.
But more than that, Zhou Liqing was creating pressure to motivate Xi Xi to strive and fight.
This was all for Xi Xi's cultivation.
And the results were quite impressive. Xi Xi's heart was filled with determination, and she successfully advanced to the Grandmaster realm.
Buzz!
Zhou Liqing waved the golden Divine Peach branch.
Li Che and the others entered the Queen Mother's Temple.
Everyone from the Heavenly Origin Academy entered the Queen Mother's Temple.
...
...
Li Che, with his thunderous methods, defeated six major sects in a single day and added a record of pacifying the chaos, which was spread throughout the Divine Capital.
However, before the news could be widely publicized in teahouses and taverns, another message arrived.
Zhou Liqing's personal disciple, Li Nuanyi, had entered the temple and was matched against the first dragonlet of the six major sects.
Father and daughter were going to fight together!
The father had just finished his battle, and now the daughter was taking the stage!
For a moment, the entire Divine Capital and the various powers were in an uproar.
The six major sects were going all-in! They were sending the first dragonlet of the Little Harmony Temple!
The Vast Integrity Academy, Bashu Sword Pavilion, and Dragon Tiger Sect, fearing a repeat of their defeat against Li Che, seemed to be throwing in the towel!
The first dragonlet of the Little Harmony Temple took the stage.
This battle might be the most crucial one in the entire gambling agreement.
If Xi Xi won, she would dominate the remaining three sects that were throwing in the towel, leaving no room for suspense.
But if Xi Xi lost to the first dragonlet of the Little Harmony Temple, it would mean that the Heavenly Origin Sect had lost the bet.
When this news broke, the various powers that had initially shown little interest in this battle became clamorous and excited.
The six major sects were going all-in!
They were placing all their hopes on the first dragonlet of the Little Harmony Temple!
...
...
In the temple, on the spectator platform.
Li Che's divine soul was attached to a celestial immortal divine bird, and his gaze fell upon the divine pavilion arena. His eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of solemnity.
Because...
On the white jade arena.
Buddha light was surging, like a rising tide, and the cold light of the Buddha flowed like electric currents, intertwining endlessly.
A fifteen-year-old monk with a slender build stood opposite Xi Xi, his face filled with a smile.
He looked down at the six-year-old Xi Xi.
One hand raised in a palm strike.
The other hand held a golden pagoda.
Victory was assured!
