Chapter 356: Should XiXi Enter the Mortal World for Training? The Guest Scholar's Examination Erupts
Chapter 356: Should XiXi Enter the Mortal World for Training? The Guest Scholar's Examination Erupts with Prison Lightning Heavenly Net (Part 2)
He walked into the Xiling Dao and witnessed the Buddhist kingdom on earth and the human hell, where he single-handedly beheaded numerous Buddhist statues.
He also ventured into the Mystic Path and fought alongside the disciples of the True Martial Sect, shedding blood and killing the barbarian soldiers of the Great Li Dynasty.
...
The purpose of trials and tribulations is to broaden one's horizons, understand the world, and gain insight into the significance of cultivation.
To comprehend the vastness of heaven and earth!
However, Lu Tai Bai quickly shook his head.
"What trials and tribulations can a six-year-old girl undergo? Which family would send their six-year-old child out for trials and tribulations?"
"Whether or not to undergo trials and tribulations, I'll have to discuss it with Li Che..."
Lu Tai Bai took a quick sip of tea.
Xi Xi's growth rate somewhat exceeded his expectations.
Therefore, he was genuinely concerned about her future cultivation arrangements.
According to the rules of the Dawn Fortune Sect...
When a young lord reaches the Great Master realm, they should be sent into the mortal world for trials and tribulations...
But Xi Xi is a Great Master at the age of six...
Indeed, she is a bit too monstrous.
Lu Tai Bai was unsure how to arrange her training.
He didn't dare make hasty decisions...
The more monstrous one's talent, the more cautious their future arrangements should be.
Lu Tai Bai didn't want another Wei Yuan among his disciples.
"Forget it, let's not rush. We'll discuss it after the Peach Blossom Festival is over..."
"Moreover, this Peach Blossom Dragon Festival is a rare opportunity for Xi Xi to temper herself."
"This little girl has had a smooth journey so far... Perhaps this time, she'll taste some bitterness and experience the feeling of failure."
...
...
Lotus Pavilion.
The rain fell incessantly.
The cloth flapped endlessly, and Xie Yunshen's half-white hair fluttered in the cold wind. He looked at Lu Chi, his eyes carrying a hint of encouragement.
However, Lu Chi shook his head...
"Child, are you unwilling to speak, or is there something else?"
Xie Yunshen asked.
Lu Chi looked at Xie Yunshen and pressed his lips together.
In fact, Lu Chi had already guessed who killed Ji Gui Fei.
Such a style of action was all too familiar to Lu Chi...
The Bull Demon!
Li Che!
But did he want to avenge his mother?
Lu Chi slowly lowered his head, his heart filled with mixed emotions. At this moment, he felt a bit lost. He had once yearned for his mother's love, but she had never looked at him with affection.
Ji Gui Fei had given all her love to the third prince, leaving him feeling like an abandoned son.
After choosing to accept the inheritance of the Wrathful Third Prince Temple Deity in the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Temple through the method of bone scraping and flesh peeling...
He had completely severed the emotional bond with his parents in his heart.
But upon learning of Ji Gui Fei's death, he still felt a slight tremor in his heart.
After all...
He was still a son.
He felt a bit lost and unsure of what to do.
He didn't quite understand what choice he should make.
So, he sought the National Tutor, hoping that he could provide an answer.
Xie Yunshen, seeing Lu Chi's struggle, led him into the Lotus Pavilion. The servants and maids lit the stove, and warm air filled the pavilion.
Lu Chi dispelled the coldness from his body and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion.
The sound of raindrops echoed within the eight-angled, overhanging eaves, and the rain continuously fell into the bronze tripod, but no matter how much it rained, the tripod never filled up.
"Child, you feel lost, and as a prince, you should hold a Heavenly Divination Decree in your hand. Why don't you seek out the Grand Supervisor and confide in him about your confusion, allowing him to provide you with guidance?"
National Tutor Xie Yunshen smiled and asked.
He didn't continue questioning Lu Chi about who killed Ji Gui Fei.
Instead, he asked Lu Chi why he had come to him.
Lu Chi must have his own purpose.
Xie Yunshen directly asked.
If Lu Chi didn't want to reveal who killed Ji Gui Fei... he wouldn't force him.
But if Lu Chi didn't directly tell him his purpose, Xie Yunshen would immediately send him away.
Xie Yunshen's half-white and half-black hair fluttered in the cold spring breeze that blew through the hall.
……
……
Second City of Divine Capital.
Eight-Angle Overhanging Eaves Heaven Divination Treasure Tower.
The nine-story treasure tower had flying eaves and corners, with nine lifelike dragon heads at the top, guarding a shimmering treasure orb.
Inside the tower.
Li Che was somewhat taken aback as he gazed at the enormous green turtle before him.
The turtle lay on the ground, its shell seeming to push against the roof, and any slight movement could cause the roof to shatter.
The two Deputy Supervisors addressed this giant turtle as the Grand Supervisor...
Li Che was stunned.
In his mind, he had high expectations for the mysterious figure, praised by Lu Tai Bai, Hong Shifo, Yue Huanglong, and others, who had authored the Divine Armament Canon, the Heaven Gate Pass, and the Divine Armament Canon—the Grand Supervisor of the Heaven-forecasting Bureau.
But reality left Li Che feeling numb.
Deputy Supervisor Fang Shangzhen seemed to notice Li Che's dazed expression and smiled gently, "Guest Scholar Li, don't misunderstand... This Mystic Tortoise Demon King is the Grand Supervisor's pet."
As Fang Shangzhen spoke, the giant Mystic Tortoise's bell-like eyes shifted to Li Che.
"You're here?" the Mystic Tortoise asked.
Li Che's black robe fluttered slightly, and for a moment, he wasn't sure if he should converse with the Mystic Tortoise.
However, Li Che bowed respectfully, "I'm here."
"There are a total of twelve Distinguished Guest Scholars in the Heaven-forecasting Bureau. If you pass the examination, you will become the thirteenth Distinguished Guest Scholar, enjoying the privilege of unrestricted access throughout the Divine Capital, except for the First City. Additionally, you will be eligible for a cultivation opportunity within this treasure tower."
The Mystic Tortoise spoke, its voice deep and booming, causing the entire floor to vibrate.
"The prerequisite is that you pass the Distinguished Guest Scholar examination."
After speaking briefly, the Mystic Tortoise shifted its gaze to the Third Prince Lu Litiang, who wore a light golden python robe.
The Third Prince felt a sense of oppression and his eyes remained red with sorrow. He bowed and said, "Please assist me, Grand Supervisor."
The Mystic Tortoise's large eyes fixed on the Third Prince.
Then, it opened its mouth, as if countless streams of air were being expelled, and the massive Mystic Tortoise's body slowly shrank...
It became the size of an Eight Immortals Table, and on its back, a vague figure formed from white smoke was seated in meditation.
Everyone's gaze turned towards the Grand Supervisor, but they couldn't make out his appearance.
"Since the Third Prince has made his decision, I will take back this Heaven-forecasting Decree," the Grand Supervisor said calmly.
He raised his hand, and the Heaven-forecasting Decree in the Third Prince's hand detached from his palm and floated into the air, flying towards the Grand Supervisor.
As soon as it reached the air, it exploded.
Countless shimmering lights intertwined, forming a colorful glow that weaved through the air like a rainbow.
The Grand Supervisor, seated on the Mystic Tortoise's back, made hand seals with his fingers.
With a flick of his finger, the colorful glow exploded, resembling a blooming firework.
Slowly, it transformed into a jade pearl.
"The answer you seek is within this Heavenly Providence Pearl... Return and open the Heavenly Providence Pearl again."
The Grand Supervisor spoke, and then there was silence.
The Third Prince pursed his lips and, without hesitation, accepted the Heavenly Providence Pearl, storing it in his Heavenly Jade.
"Thank you, Grand Supervisor, for your assistance."
"Having a heart of filial piety is commendable," the Grand Supervisor, seated on the Mystic Tortoise's back, nodded slightly, offering a faint praise.
The Third Prince's face was filled with sorrow, "My mother has passed away, and I can no longer fulfill my filial duties... I can only do my utmost to find the murderer and personally kill him, allowing my mother to rest in peace."
The Grand Supervisor nodded slightly.
Then he said, "Next, we will conduct the Distinguished Guest Scholar examination with Li Demi-Saint... Your Highness, please leave first."
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince glanced at Li Che.
He had intended to stay and observe Li Che's examination.
However, after some thought, he decided against it. Staying to watch Li Che's examination would conflict with his desire for revenge for Ji Gui Fei.
It might cause the Grand Supervisor to dislike him.
So, the Third Prince bowed respectfully to the Grand Supervisor.
He turned and bid farewell, departing.
The light golden python robe and the purple robe of the Imperial Palace Guardian disappeared between the floors.
On the ninth floor, only Li Che, the Mystic Tortoise, and the Grand Supervisor, whose face was obscured by white smoke, remained.
"Guest Scholar Li… Are you ready?"
The Great Supervisor spoke softly.
Subtly, Li Che seemed to feel a profound gaze land on him, as if it could see through him completely.
Suddenly.
The Mystic Turtle's eyes snapped open, and its copper-bell-like eyes emitted a brilliant light, staring intently at Li Che!
The aura of the Great Supervisor’s figure on the Mystic Turtle’s back also changed dramatically, as if countless terrifying auras had been compressed into a small space and were now pressing down on Li Che, making him feel like he was being crushed by mountains and rivers, suffocating him! Every pore on his body tightened.
Inside the Inner Landscape, the golden pills trembled, and the Divine Embryo of the True Ape roared.
In his chest, the Dao Fruits sounded alarms simultaneously!
A powerful being!
An extremely terrifying one!
Compared to the Great Supervisor, Lu Tai Bai, Yellow Eyebrow, and others were far, far inferior!
The immense pressure made Li Che's jet-black, rugged hair fly and swirl.
A repelling force erupted, as if trying to expel Li Che from the ninth level.
Li Che's eyes narrowed. He knew this was the Great Supervisor testing his strength.
A Distinguished Guest Scholar not only needed skills but also had to have sufficient cultivation.
Li Che raised his hand and touched his brow.
Instantly—
A roar erupted, and the Divine Embryo of the True Ape manifested, roaring loudly.
The Heaven and Earth Mimicry emerged, and with a heavy step, the entire ninth level trembled.
At the edge of the ninth level, Grand Supervisor Yue Taofu smiled faintly. "This is the Great Supervisor testing Guest Scholar Li's cultivation…"
"This is the first test of the Distinguished Guest Scholar examination…"
"Even the top twelve Distinguished Guest Scholars have never had the privilege of being personally tested by the Great Supervisor…"
"I am very curious… What does this Guest Scholar Li have that qualifies him?"
Yue Taofu, with his white hair and youthful face, stroked his beard and smiled.
Fang Shangzhen glanced at him, then looked at the scene, somewhat helplessly.
"Fan Hanshu, Fan Hanshu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but… the Great Supervisor is personally testing him, and there's nothing I can do."
Fang Shangzhen sighed.
Her younger brother, Fang Hanshu, had personally written a letter, requesting her to help Li Che with some allowable assistance during his Distinguished Guest Scholar examination.
But now…
With the Great Supervisor personally testing him, she couldn't help.
It was up to Li Che.
Li Che summoned the Heaven and Earth Mimicry, and a powerful divine aura surged with the Heaven-Eart Soul, causing a fierce wind to rage through the ninth level.
The Great Supervisor on the Mystic turtle seemed to smile at Li Che.
"Guest Scholar Li, listen carefully to your Distinguished Guest Scholar examination requirements…"
Inside the Heaven and Earth Mimicry, Li Che's rugged hair lashed like black lightning.
He raised his head, his eyes glowing, and he bowed.
"Li Che, I am ready."
The Great supervisor stroked his beard and smiled, the misty figure indistinctly visible.
Then, a gentle voice echoed through the ninth level of the treasure tower.
"I am sitting on the Mystic Turtle."
"Consider me as a temple deity…"
"Carve me."
Hearing this, Li Che's heart shook violently.
At the edge of the ninth level, the three onlookers' expressions changed.
"It's over…"
"The difficulty of this test… is far too high!"
"I thought the Great Supervisor personally testing would be lenient, but now… it's not leniency, it's the highest difficulty!"
In the center of the ninth level.
Li CheCheLiLiThen, the Mystic Turtle the the Mystic a Mystic.
Li Che, he raised the Mystic his the the great instructions.
, the's's to and,,,, the, and Mystic Turtle spat out a block of spirit wood, spat out, flying toward Li Che.
Li Che caught it.
He snapped his fingers, and the Divine Tool Chisel set floated around him, clanging and crisscrossing.
His gaze focused, the Great Supervisor sitting on the Mystic turtle…
only to find…
the Mystic turtle buredacar a step, the Great Supervisor disappeared a slow step, and then disappeared again!
the Mystic Turtle and Great Supervisor vanished!
Li Che's pupils contracted.
He turned his head sharply, finding the Mystic Turtle and the Great Supervisor.
Soon, the Mystic Turtle took another slow step, then burst into the world's fastest speed, disappearing again…
The Great Supervisor, enveloped in mist, was completely indistinct to Li che.
It would be even harder toto""Really fast…"
Li Che exhaled.
He extended two fingers, tearing open the Heavenly Jade Space, and pulled out a pre-carved Two-Hearted Great Sage Temple Deity.
On the Two-Hearted Great Sage Temple Deity, countless lightning arcs crackled, emitting the sound of a thousand birds singing.
It was the same Divine Carving he used to absorb the Divine Lightning during his Divine embryo tribulation.
Despite some damage…
it wasn't a problem.
Li che just used it to disguise his techniques, at least giving his lightning techniques a legitimate origin!
When asked, he could provide an explanation!
Crack!
The Divine Carving hit the ground, causing a slight tremor.
Watching the Mystic Turtle elegantly burst into the world's fastest speed, carrying the Great Supervisor.
In Li Che's chest, the Dao fruit [Lightning Magnetic Dao Body] wildly surged.
Turtle!
I'll see where you run!
Divine Ability: Prison Lightning Heavenly Net!
In the Heaven and Earth Mimicry, Li Che's eyes glared with dark golden lightning!
The Two-Hearted Great Sage Temple Deity erupted with a brilliant light!
Countless dark golden lightning arcs spread out like a large netnet!
Throughout the air!
the void!
