Chapter 362: Can the Seven-Opening Mystic Gates Fight Against the Half-Step Divine Tribulation? Xixi
Chapter 362: Can the Seven-Opening Mystic Gates Fight Against the Half-Step Divine Tribulation? Xixi Enters the Celestial Observatory and Alarms the Grand Inspector (Part 1)
Clatter, clatter—
The chains intertwined, collided, and rubbed against each other, as if sparks of fire were dancing and shining.
On the ground of Ink City, paved with dark-colored stones, fine cracks began to appear, caused by the impact of aura, which cut through the surface like a knife.
Boom, boom, boom—
His heart pounded like thunder, each beat like an ancient god wielding a heavy hammer from myths, striking and pounding with great force!
The ripples that spread out in circles seemed to make the air ripple like a transparent carpet, undulating with waves.
Li Che stood in the heart of Ink City, his arms outstretched, his eyes flashing like lightning and thunder, radiating brilliance.
An increasingly terrifying aura spread from his body, as if a divine iron heated to extreme redness in a million-degree blaze, releasing heat that distorted and collapsed space.
Every one of Li Che's orifices glowed, and seven blood qi vortices formed by golden blood qi twisted and turned, spanning across his back and along his spine, emitting an intensely bright light.
Each blood qi vortex seemed to contain a terrifying power, like a staircase of accumulating strength.
It was as if the nodes on the body's normal meridians and vessels, after being blocked and accumulated, would naturally reach an extremely terrifying level of blood qi power.
The more it was blocked, the more terrifying the release would be when the shackles were broken!
Boom!!!
As the light from the seven blood qi vortices accumulated together.
Li Che felt as if he had transformed into a million-watt light bulb, becoming intensely bright and dazzling, a brilliance that couldn't be suppressed in a short time.
If he wished, Li Che could return to the Divine Capital without restraint, and his radiance would even illuminate the entire city.
Crack, crack—
Li Che's physical body was covered in cracks, like the traces of a cracked porcelain vase.
This was because his body couldn't bear the impact of the power within, which suddenly surged after the opening of the seventh gate.
Inducing seven divine seeds into the body's spine through the mystic gates was no longer a secret technique.
In Li Che's opinion, it belonged to an extraordinary type of Dao-inducing power.
It was a top-tier pure martial art!
Even with Li Che's current 90% pure martial body, it was still difficult to withstand the impact, indicating just how terrifying it was to induce seven mystic gate divine seeds.
Li Che took a deep breath.
He was struggling to induce the seventh divine seed into the mystic gate, able to utilize its power, but if he wanted to detonate it as smoothly as the others...
The difficulty was still too great.
He couldn't even do it yet.
It was like having a bomb ready, with the fuse set, but not yet ready to ignite...
The main issue was that his physical body couldn't withstand the impact, even with the help of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit to maintain it. It didn't meet the standard for detonating seven mystic gate divine seeds.
"The main problem is still the weakness of my physical body, and another reason is my cultivation level. I've only reached the second gate of the Martial Saint realm, which is not enough, far from it..."
Li Che felt that to detonate the seven divine seeds, he might have to wait until his physical body reached the third gate of the Martial Saint realm or... the fourth gate of the Absolute Pinnacle!
Li Che's eyes flashed with anticipation and eagerness.
Despite his already rapid cultivation speed, advancing beyond the Martial Saint realm was more challenging than he had imagined.
He couldn't enhance his cultivation like the Divine Carvers by directly consuming them.
"But... if I detonate the seven divine seeds, can I fight against the Half-Step Divine Tribulation of the Dao Essence Tribulation?"
Li Che's eyes shone with expectation and a desire to test his limits.
Inhale—
Exhale—
With each breath, the wind howled, and the air surged.
Li Che's eyes suddenly opened wide, and the aura on his body slowly calmed down, his golden blood qi seemed to cool down, returning to tranquility within his body, flowing slowly through his meridians like calm, flat water.
"The seventh gate is open, and the eight mystic gate divine seeds... are within reach!"
Li Che's eyes burned with determination.
Although he couldn't sustain it for long, Li Che felt that he might have a chance against the top-tier Absolute Pinnacle expert guarding the Heavenly Gate Pass, arranged by the Grand Inspector.
As for detonating all eight mystic gates simultaneously...
The instant bloom of power might... be enough to defeat a Martial God!
The realm above Martial God was too ethereal for Li Che to fully comprehend.
Li Che didn't have a reference point, so he could only imagine and compare it in his mind, but he never overestimated himself.
Lowering his expectations of his combat power would allow him to be more stable.
In this chaotic world, Li Che had to protect his wife and daughter, so he needed to tread carefully like walking on thin ice.
Caution was never wrong; as long as he stayed alive, he would eventually become invincible!
For a month, Li Che cultivated in Ink City, slowly consuming his epiphany feedback and continuously transforming it into martial arts improvement.
All his divine seed martial arts reached the Transformation Realm.
The Six Desires Extermination Evil Lu Xuan Pure Yang Sword Art, a divine seed martial art, was induced into the seventh mystic gate acupoint.
The harvest was immense!
Li Che's eyes widened, and above his head, the Pure Martial Qi Sea Golden Pool appeared. The originally hundred-zhang-tall Qi Sea Golden Pool expanded again, reaching a thousand zhang!
Boom!
The blood qi burst forth, enormous, almost covering the entire sky, a Qi Sea anomaly that appeared above his head!
A thousand-zhang Golden Pool!
This was the improvement Li Che gained through a month of hard cultivation, aided by his epiphany feedback.
"It's time to prepare and settle accounts with the Seven Treasures Relic Golden Bodhimanda Strange Temple in the Divine Capital..."
Li Che changed into a clean and tidy black lotus robe sewn by his wife, Zhang Ya. She seemed to notice Li Che's fondness for it, so she made a few more, each with a different pattern.
The black-robed youth's aura closely followed Li Che's, and his bright eyes seemed to possess the might of the Double Pupil, giving him an aura of unyielding dominance.
With a stir of his heart, the sky was engulfed in black rain.
In the next moment, Li Che disappeared.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself back in a house within the fourth city of the Divine Capital, the Heavenly Origin Academy.
Boom!!!
As soon as Li Che returned, he felt something amiss.
The air suddenly stirred, and the heavens and earth seemed to become infinitely heavy in an instant. Whether it was space or the atmosphere, everything became oppressively heavy, as if the will of the heavens and earth had sensed the seventh Mystic Seed within Li Che's spine, creating an unprecedented evil!
It was as if the heavens and earth were about to personally eradicate Li Che from the mortal world!
Boom!!!
His blood and qi exploded from his meridians, as if in furious rebellion!
The seven Mystic Seeds burst forth with brilliance, like seven blazing suns, dazzling and an extraordinary phenomenon emerged!
His spine seemed to creak and groan, as if about to twist and shatter, and the newly transplanted seventh Mystic Seed seemed to be forcibly dispersed by the will of the heavens and earth.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Che's eyes.
"I completed the transplantation of the seventh Mystic Seed in Ink City, but Ink City is not part of this world. It's like a small isolated paradise, completely cut off from the heavens and earth. So as soon as I returned, I triggered the attention and suppression of the will of the heavens and earth!"
Li Che pondered for a moment, and suddenly understood the reason.
Boom!
An extraordinary phenomenon appeared in the sky!
But Li Che immediately used the isolating power of the Heaven Earth Chessboard to completely block it, concealing his aura.
However, the sudden phenomenon had already attracted the attention of many within the Heavenly Origin Academy.
In an instant, Li Che sensed powerful auras rapidly approaching.
"If I transplant eight Mystic Seeds... even with the isolation of the Heaven Earth Chessboard, it might not be possible to completely sever the connection brought about by the will of the heavens and earth..."
"Perhaps... that's the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations?"
Li Che thought for a moment, his heart stirring slightly, and he finally understood the unprecedented evil emanating from the will of the heavens and earth.
Divine Tribulation... Martial God...
Li Che's eyes flashed.
Could transplanting eight Mystic Seeds allow him to touch the realm above Martial Saint?
"No... that's wrong... transplanting eight Mystic Seeds can only be done with a pure martial body, so... it might be different from a normal Martial God?"
Li Che pondered, but as he had never experienced the Martial God realm, he couldn't make a judgment.
But his intuition told him that being able to pass through the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations with the Eight Mystic Techniques was absolutely extraordinary.
Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit of the Chess Saint trembled, as if isolating the flow of spiritual energy.
Li Che brushed off the ink-stained robe and slowly opened the door that had been closed for a month.
The creaking sound echoed.
Then, after a long absence, sunlight poured in from outside the door, causing Li Che to squint.
Outside the courtyard.
One figure after another had gathered and were waiting.
Li Che immediately spotted his wife, Zhang Ya, who was on her tiptoes, eagerly looking up at him. Zhang Ya held Xixi's hand, and Xixi, also on her tiptoes, eagerly looked up as well.
The mother and daughter's expressions were remarkably synchronized.
Li Che couldn't help but feel like laughing out loud.
In addition to his eagerly awaiting wife and daughter, there were also the True Martial Sect's leader, Lu Tai Bai, and the second elder, Zhao Fangzhou.
Seeing Li Che emerge from the house, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Lu Tai Bai had been worried that Li Che, immersed in his cultivation, might miss the Peach Blossom Banquet.
Although with Li Che's current strength, he didn't need the Peach Blossom Banquet to prove anything, but to miss out on the nine-thousand-year-old peach... it always felt like a loss to the entire world.
Of course, even if Li Che participated in the Hero's Banquet, he couldn't guarantee a 100% chance of winning and obtaining that nine-thousand-year-old peach, but at least there was hope, right?
Even Lu Tai Bai, in his generation, had never won the Peach Blossom Banquet.
Or perhaps, the entire Heavenly Origin Divine Sect had rarely produced heroes who could win at the Peach Blossom Banquet.
But there was one Divine Sect, the Purple Mansion Sect, the first Divine Sect of Great Jing, who had only sent three participants to the Hero's Banquet, and one of them would almost always make it into the top three, and even win!
There had even been occasions where the Purple Mansion Sect's Three Maidens and Three Heroes took the top three spots in both the Maiden's Banquet and the Hero's Banquet.
However, Lu Tai Bai felt that this year's Li Che was terrifyingly strong...
If Li Che revealed his martial prowess, winning the Hero's Banquet might be a real possibility.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The wind blew, and Li Che's ink-stained robe fluttered as he walked out of the house with a gentle smile on his face.
Xixi's eyes lit up, and she broke free from Zhang Ya's hand, running towards Li Che and burying her head in his embrace.
"Daddy!"
Xixi's eyes were bright.
After a month without seeing Li Che, not even once, it was the longest time Xixi had ever been apart from her father since her birth.
Li Che gently rubbed Xixi's head, his eyes warm.
Protecting his wife and daughter was the most steadfast will in his heart, and it was even the foundation of his martial will.
"Has Xixi been slacking off? You made a promise with your father to win the top spot at the Peach Blossom Banquet and bring back a Nine Thousand Year Peach for your mother." Li Che said with a smile.
Xixi's eyes immediately lit up with determination.
"Father, rest assured. Xixi hasn't been slacking off. I've been diligently cultivating every day! I've now completely stabilized my Great Ancestor cultivation!"
"With the help of Gun Gun and Zhuan Zhuan, Xixi's divine aura has become much stronger and more abundant. Xixi is now incredibly powerful!" Xixi said earnestly.
To prove it to Li Che, she clenched her chubby fingers, and divine aura bullets intertwined and emerged, howling and raging.
Hearing this, Li Che couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lu Tai Bai's silver hair fluttered as he asked, "A Che, have you made a breakthrough in your divine sculpture skills?"
Li Che thought for a moment and nodded, not hiding the truth, "After passing the Distinguished Guest assessment, I received guidance from the Grand Inspector. Upon my return, I secluded myself... It's safe to say that the path to becoming a Divine Sculpture Saintess is now completely smooth."
"In the future, there's a 90% chance of becoming a Sainted Sculptor." Li Che smiled.
Lu Tai Bai and Zhao Fangzhou's eyes lit up almost simultaneously.
90% chance!
That's not just a chance, it's a certainty!
A future Sainted Sculptor for sure! If the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect can produce a Divine Sculpture Saintess, perhaps they can regain their former glory.
Once upon a time, the Divine Pill Sect excelled in divine pills, the Seven Treasures Sect in divine armaments, and the Mystic Symbol Sect in divine symbols, while the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect specialized in divine sculptures...
But later, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sculpture path declined and was abolished by the Little Heavenly Sound Temple.
This dealt a severe blow to the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Lu Tai Bai's sleeves billowed in the spring breeze, his eyes filled with excitement.
He believed that Li Che wasn't making empty claims. If Li Che said there was a 90% chance, it meant he was extremely confident!
Lu Tai Bai was overjoyed, thinking that the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect would flourish under his leadership.
"By the way, the True Martial Sect's leader, Shi Jian, has been waiting for you to come out of seclusion. He's been waiting for over a month and is still waiting outside." Lu Tai Bai said.
Li Che's eyebrows twitched slightly upon hearing this, knowing full well why the leader of the True Martial Sect was looking for him.
"He wants the cannon and fire mechanism in Xixi's hands, doesn't he?"
Lu Tai Bai nodded, "This thing... I'll leave it to you. The True Martial Sect is like a martial army, even though they are a divine sect.
