Chapter 359: Divine Capital, My Home Ground, I'll Play You to Death, Netherworld Gatehead, Are You Looking for Trouble? [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 2)
Originally, with Xixi's Strength, Achieving Consecutive Victories Wouldn't Be Too Difficult.
But Xixi Wasn't Willing.
Because After Seven Consecutive Victories Like Father, She Would Directly Gain the Qualification to Participate in the Main Banquet and Wouldn't Be Able to Stay in the PrelXixi Reluctantly the Pre-Banquet's Delicacies, Such As Clear Tea, PeachBlossoms, and Spirit Fruits.
Though the Matched Opponents Were Too Weak, and Winning Them Was Too Easy, the Provided Pre-Banquet Delicacies Were Relatively Inferior.
But Xixi Didn't Care; She Just Didn't Want to Miss Any of the Pre-Banquet's Meals!
So, Xixi Mid-Way Bent the Rules, Lost to Jin Taishui, Interrupting the Seven Consecutive Victories, and CouldEnjoy Matching Pre-BanquetOpponents, WinningThem, andTasting theDelicacies!
During This Time, Xixi Indeed Met SeveralNot Weak Opponents, Defeating Them, and Gaining the Black Phoenix Spirit Peach and Chi Dragon Blood Peach.
Xixi Was Very Considerate, Not Eating Alone, Packing to Take Away, Returning to the Courtyard, for Zhang Ya to Taste.
Though They WereJust Ten-Year Old Peaches, when Xixi Offered HerVictories' Delicacies to Zhang Ya As If TheyWere Treasures, Zhang Ya Felt Like the Happiest Mother in the World.
After Deliberately Losing One Match, Xixi Finally Completed the Accumulation of Eighteen West Queen Mother Divine Natures, Qualifying for the Main Banquet.
And Due to This Deliberate Loss, Xixi Enjoyed Eleven More Pre-Banquet Meals!
Xixi'sLittle Belly Grew a Bit!
After Qualifying for the Main Banquet, Xixi Didn't Need to Participate in the Pre-Banquet, Temporarily Gaining Relaxation.
She RanDingD ing D ing to Zhang Ya, Squatted Under the Eave, Sitting with Grandma Mu on a Rocking Chair, Watching the Spring Rain Fall.
She Also Occasionally Sneaked to the Rear Courtyard, Poking HerGhostly Head Out, Wanting to See When Father WouldEmerge.
...
...
Rain Slanted, Striking theLeisure Pavillion's Tiles, Splattering.
Forming a Hazy White Veil, Obscuring the Luxurious Garden Within the Third Prince's Manor.
Gurgle Gurgle—
The Boiling Water intheHot Stove Rolled Uncontrollably.
TheThird Prince, Lu Litiang, Clad in Pale Gold Dragon Robe, Sat on an Intricately Carved Stone Chair, with Documents Spread Before Him.
The Documents Were Scribbled and Scribbled, All Containing Information about the Netherworld.
TheGrand Guardian's HeavenlyFate Jade Orb Indicated theTrue Culprit of Who Killed Noble Consort Ji.
TheThird PrinceNeverDoubted theGrandGuardian'sCalculative Ability.
TheGrandGuardian, Known as the First Divine Calculator of the World, PossessingDivine Might Double Pupils, CouldMeasure HeavenlyFate, Seeing What OthersCouldNot.
That Was a Truly Powerful Existence Who HadTouchedtheProvidenceof Dao.
TheThirdPrince WouldNeverDoubttheGrandGuardian.
"Netherworld Bull Demon..."
TheThirdPrince, LuLitiang, ClensedHisTeeth, HisEyesCold.
TheKillingMother'sRevenge, Not to Be SharedUndertheSameSky!
Buzz—
TheRainOutside theLeisurePavilion Twisted.
Then, a Purple-Clothed Figure Appeared, PreciselytheFifteenthPeakAbsolutePeak, HanSisi.
"Your Highness."
Han Si SlightlyBowed, ThenSaid, "Little Highness there...Seems toHaveReceived theImperial Tutor'sSupport and Guidance."
TheThirdPrince, LuLitiang, Glanced at theNetherworldInformation, ShowingNoInterest inHanSi'sReported News About LuChi.
"LuChi theYoungone...With theImperial Tutor'sSupport? How... Does HeThink Having theImperial Tutor'sSupport Makes Him EligibleforthePrincePosition?"
"The Third Prince, Lu Litiang, let out a disdainful laugh.
'It's impossible for the Emperor to choose a prince with mediocre martial arts and divine nature as the Crown Prince.'
In the heart of the Third Prince, Lu Chi posed no threat.
Even with the support of the Imperial Tutor, Xie Yunshen, it was the same. The Imperial Tutor, a mere scholar, was just a knife that the Jing Emperor wielded...
A knife aimed at the eleven divine sects of the Great Jing.
The Imperial Tutor, unlike the Grand Inspector, did not possess heavenly cultivation or hold the position of the First Governor of the Temple Guarding Office, who was also the first person stationed at the Heavenly Gate Pass.
The Imperial Tutor's cultivation was too weak, possessing only intelligence. But sometimes... when it came to vying for the position of Crown Prince, mere intelligence was not enough.
'Xie Si Xi, during these days, I've been looking into information and data about the Netherworld Bull Demon...'
'This Netherworld Bull Demon first appeared in Thunderbolt City, where it displayed strength seemingly below the level of a Grand Master. By the time it reached Golden Light Mansion, its power had increased significantly, and no one knew if it was inherently weak or if its cultivation had gradually improved...'
'If it managed to enhance its cultivation during the journey from Thunderbolt City to Golden Light Mansion...'
The Third Prince's eyes glinted with a mysterious light.
'There is one person who fits the description...'
'Moreover, my mother had a conflict with Lu Chi...'
The Third Prince stood up from the leisure pavilion, walked to its edge, and felt the rain droplets carried by the cold, sharp spring breeze.
He exhaled slowly.
'That Li Che...'
'Is most likely the Bull Demon!'
Silence filled the leisure pavilion.
Xie Si Xi lowered her head, neither happy nor sad, seemingly unconcerned about this speculation.
In fact, many had made this speculation before.
But speculation was just speculation...
Nowadays, Li Che's identity was no longer that of a mere laborer from Thunderbolt City.
He was now an elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect and a Distinguished Guest Scholar at the headquarters of the Celestial Observatory.
'Xie Si Xi... I heard that when you were young, you once infiltrated the Golden Scaled Shadow Guards of the Emperor?'
'That's right.'
'Then, can you infiltrate the Heavenly Origin Academy?'
The Third Prince gazed at the wind and rain in the sky as he spoke.
Xie Si Xi lifted her head, her eyes shining with a mysterious light. 'Your Highness... are you looking down on Lu Tai Bai?'
'Although I was once a Shadow Guard, it's impossible to hide from the perception of a top-tier, dual-ranked Grand Master.'
Xie Si Xi was well aware of her abilities. She even wondered if the Third Prince understood what being a dual-ranked Grand Master meant. That was the status of a Grand Master of a great divine sect!
'Then there's no need to infiltrate. Just get close. The Heavenly Providence Divine Seal that the Grand Inspector deduced can sense another Heavenly Providence within a hundred zhang if it bears the same Heavenly Providence!'
'I want you to hold the Divine Seal deduced by the Grand Inspector, get close to the Heavenly Origin Academy, and see if the Divine Seal reacts...'
'If it does, it means... Li Che is most likely the Bull Demon!'
The pale golden python robe on the Third Prince fluttered in the wind.
'If we confirm that Li Che is the Bull Demon, what do you plan to do, Your Highness?'
'Now, this Li Che has become the thirteenth Distinguished Guest Scholar at the Celestial Observatory...'
Xie Si Xi furrowed her brows, puzzled.
The Third Prince slowly turned around, his face contorting slightly.
'Of course, I'll remember him. I'll remember him well!'
'Slowly, slowly, I'll find a chance for revenge!'
'Remembering this person who killed my mother, I've shown the Grand Inspector my filial piety. If I find out who the enemy is but retreat due to their identity, the Grand Inspector might be disappointed, right?'
The Third Prince's mouth curled into a sinister smile.
'I don't want to disappoint the Grand Inspector. I want to show him my attitude!'
'So, once we confirm that Li Che is the Bull Demon, he will have lost the mystery bestowed upon him by the Netherworld...'
'He has a wife, a daughter, and friends...'
'If he's the Bull Demon, then the death of the son of the Pacifying King, Ji Haizhi, must be related to him... I can ally with the Ji Family and the Pacifying King.'
'Being in the Divine Capital, it's my home ground...'
'I can slowly make him suffer!'
...
...
The last axe blade, like a tiger sniffing a rose, gently swept across the Grand Inspector's Divine Sculpture's double pupils, causing the entire room to burst into a dazzling brilliance.
A pair of double pupil shadows seemed to float and expand in the air.
Li Che clenched the pitch-black axe, its golden inscriptions flowing like ink, his eyes revealing the once blurry double pupil shadows, now gradually becoming clear.
"Heavenly Providence Double Pupils!"
Li Che's eyes became increasingly strange, with both pupils overlapping in one eye.
The divine sculpture, carved from tortoise shell and divine wood, seemed to come alive, surrounded by a white mist.
This white mist was the Dao Essence, and Li Che was quite familiar with it.
In his Heaven Earth Chessboard, he suppressed a strand of this Dao Essence.
Heavenly Providence Dao Essence!
After perfecting all the flaws of this Half-Saint Divine Sculpture, the double pupils emerged, as if transforming into a divine nature technique, flowing into Li Che's mind and forming a divine nature secret art.
This was the Grand Inspector's gift to him!
"So, this was the Grand Inspector's true purpose for having me carve him... He wants to teach me this divine nature secret art?"
Li Che's heart trembled slightly.
If he combined his Law of Heaven Earth Body with this divine might double pupil secret art, he might become even more powerful!
The double pupils slowly faded, and a thin, almost transparent layer of divine nature seemed to cling to Li Che.
(End of Chapter)
Huff, huff, huff—
The raging wind inside the house gradually calmed down.
Li Che exhaled a breath.
A hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
"This is my first carved Divine Sculpture Saint, isn't it? Why didn't it trigger the Saintly Hand Tribulation Thunder?"
Li Che's eyebrows furrowed.
But soon, he understood.
This Divine Sculpture Saint was not carved in one go; it was a continuation of his previous work. Moreover, when he continued carving, his state was entirely different from when he carved the first Divine Sculpture.
Therefore, the will of heaven and earth did not consider this Divine Sculpture Saint as Li Che's first creation.
It was a continuation of his work!
"In other words... as long as I perfectly carve a Divine Sculpture Saint, I can trigger the Saintly Hand Tribulation Thunder and become a true Divine Sculpture Saint!"
Li Che suddenly burst into laughter.
His mood instantly improved!
It was as if he had grasped the Ghost Axe and was now certain of his Divine Sculpture Saint status, lacking only a piece of work to prove himself and gain the certification of the will of heaven and earth.
What a relief!
Li Che stretched lazily, and his muscles and bones made popping sounds.
This trip to the Celestial Observatory for the Elite Guest Examination had indeed been a fruitful one for Li Che.
Li Che stood up and stretched his muscles, and the suppressed energy within his body surged like a mighty river, with pure martial energy coursing through his Golden Sea.
Behind him, it was as if a furnace appeared, radiating a bright and warm aura.
Originally, Li Che had planned to return and directly immerse himself in the Ink City, using the insights he gained from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit he obtained after killing Yellow Eyebrow.
He would elevate all the divine seeds' martial arts to the Transformation Realm, transforming them into the True Martial Transformation Realm.
After all, the insights gained from a Level 6 Dao Fruit were far more effective than before.
Although the chances of triggering the seventh divine seed were slim, Li Che could still transform the martial arts of the divine seeds he had already triggered into the Transformation Realm.
Hmm!
Inside the house, energy surged wildly, and the air currents fluctuated.
Li Che's eyebrows rose slightly.
Suddenly, his eyes displayed a chessboard with intricate lines.
It was the Heaven Earth Chessboard.
Within the Heaven Earth Chessboard, the Heaven Earth Soul, which was suppressed to the extreme and almost scattered, trembled continuously.
"As expected, it's coming."
Li Che exhaled.
Carefully, he removed the golden lotus black robe embroidered by his wife.
He put on a black elastic shirt.
The next moment, he clenched his fist, and the space between heaven and earth tore open.
A cute smiling bull mask...
He slowly pressed it onto his face.
...
Dark clouds loomed high in the sky, and the rain fell in a fine drizzle, as if finally melting away the ice and frost accumulated throughout the winter.
Han Sixi stood with his hands behind his back, his purple robe fluttering in the wind.
His entire being seemed to merge with the darkness, moving within it like a phantom.
This was the Shadow Fusion Technique!
Having reached the Transformation Realm, it was the top-tier divine technique he cultivated among the Golden Scaled Shadow Guards.
It was also the secret technique that the Imperial Tutor's assistants, like Han Sixi, had to master.
On the blue-stone ground of the fourth city, the surface was extremely wet, with a layer of accumulated water. He walked on it, causing ripples to form.
As a powerful figure ranked fifteenth at the Heavenly Gate Pass, Han Sixi was extremely confident in his strength.
Even if he faced Li Taibai and was defeated, he could still retreat unscathed.
It wouldn't be easy for Li Taibai to kill him.
"If His Highness wants to slowly toy with him, Li Che's influence has already grown significantly, and it might affect His Highness's plans for the crown prince position."
"His Highness, please don't let this affect your bid for the crown prince position."
As one of the three princes' bound warriors, Han Sixi also wanted to strive for the Dragon's Merit and become a top assistant in the future, standing above everyone except one.
"If Li Che has any possibility of affecting His Highness's bid for the crown prince position, it's best to eliminate him early."
"Unfortunately... there's Li Taibai."
Han Sixi's purple robe fluttered in the wind, and his aura seemed to merge with heaven and earth, blending into every drop of spring rain.
He stood still, gazing into the distance at the Heavenly Origin Academy, obscured by the mist and rain.
About a hundred meters away, this was the limit of what the Heavenly Fate Divine Imprint could sense.
The purple sleeves of his robe fluttered, and he slowly raised his hand.
Four divine imprints appeared, floating and flashing in his palm.
These were the four imprints of the Heaven Earth Chessboard, woven from the Heavenly Fate Divine Imprint, labeled "Netherworld Bull."
However...
After waiting for a breath, and then another.
The entire world fell silent.
Only the sound of raindrops falling into the accumulated water, creating ripples, could be heard.
The divine imprints showed no reaction.
"Hmm?!"
"No reaction?"
"Isn't Li Che... the Netherworld Bull?"
Han Sixi was taken aback.
Suddenly, the light between heaven and earth vanished, leaving only the darkness that engulfed it.
He raised his head and discovered that above him...
At some point, a pitch-black city gate and city wall had appeared, like dark clouds pressing down on the human realm.
On the city gate,
Two gilded characters read "Netherworld Capital."
On the city wall, a majestic figure stood, with five fingers raised, and a white dragon-like Heaven Earth Chessboard weaving in his palm.
Beneath the cute bull mask,
His eyes seemed to have overlapping pupils.
"You're...
"Looking for the bull?"
