Chapter 364: Li Bansheng's Terrifying Connections, How Could a God Possibly Die? (Part 1)
The view from the turtle's back was truly breathtaking.
...
The Immaculate Divine Nature held a deadly allure for the Sacred Turtle, and a single spirit fruit containing this nature was enough to suppress its inner desires.
However, when Li Che took out more than a dozen such fruits, the Sacred Turtle felt that the momentary honor and disgrace were insignificant.
Only a turtle that could bend and stretch was a good turtle!
So, the Sacred Turtle gave up resisting and allowed Li Che's sweet bombs to corrupt it.
It was just a Seven Treasures Sutra Golden Buddha Wondrous Temple's temple god, right?
The Sacred Turtle volunteered to fight!
Li Che patted the Sacred Turtle's head, and with a satisfied smile, he took a bite of the spirit fruit, his face radiating a simple and sincere smile.
With just a few spirit fruits containing the Immaculate Divine Nature, he could persuade a Demon King to fight for him; this was indeed a very profitable deal.
The main reason was that the Sacred Turtle had such a small appetite, which Li Che had never expected.
But with just a few spirit fruits containing the Immaculate Divine Nature, it lowered its noble head, and Li Che hadn't even planned to use a single fruit to conquer the Sacred Turtle. He had even prepared to consume a thousand such fruits.
And then... the Sacred Turtle only needed ten.
Li Che's smile became even more sincere, truly a simple and honest turtle.
With a slight push off the ground, Li Che's body leaped onto the Sacred Turtle's back.
Whoosh!
The howling wind blew past, ruffling Li Che's ink-black robe, and his smile became even brighter.
As the place where the Great Supervisor once sat, the view was indeed excellent, a truly unique sight!
Li Che was very satisfied.
Twitching his buttocks, he waved to Xi Xi, who was gaping in shock below, and her big eyes lit up, her eyelashes trembling.
"Hey!"
Li Che stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and sparks flew as two windfire golden light discs rose with a clanging sound, carrying Xi Xi's body and flying straight up into the sky. Then, with a dive, she rushed towards Li Che's embrace like a cannonball!
However, Xi Xi's little bull demon's charge had little effect on Li Che, who easily defused it.
Holding Xi Xi, father and daughter sat on the turtle's back, laughing heartily.
Below them, Fang Shangzhen's face had already turned strange and astonished.
As the deputy supervisor of the Heaven-forecasting Bureau, she was the one who had spent the most time with the Sacred Turtle Demon King, aside from the Great Supervisor.
She was well aware of the Sacred Turtle Demon King's temperament.
This was a very stubborn Sacred Turtle, not easily yielding, but she hadn't expected Li Che to subdue it with a Five Elders stage spirit fruit...
When did the Sacred Turtle's taste become so low? Or did it like the spirit fruit Li Che offered?
Fang Shangzhen's eyes lit up, and she took note of the various spirit fruits Li Che used to tempt the Sacred Turtle.
As the deputy supervisor of the Celestial Observation Bureau Headquarters, her knowledge was extraordinary, and the spirit fruits Li Che presented were not rare treasures.
So, she identified them at a glance.
Were these spirit fruits useful? So, the Sacred Turtle's peculiar hobby was these things?
Fang Shangzhen's Daoist robe fluttered, and she looked at the father and daughter sitting on the Sacred Turtle's back, laughing brightly, feeling a bit disoriented for a moment.
Li Che, holding Xi Xi, descended from the Sacred Turtle's back, which was content after its meal and didn't mind being ridden by someone other than the Great Supervisor.
Its large eyes, like copper bells, turned to Li Che, revealing a look of anticipation and excitement, as if saying, "Kid, keep the spirit fruits coming!"
Li Che smiled and, holding Xi Xi's hand, asked in surprise, "Deputy Supervisor Fang, is this cultivation chamber... transformed from a strange shrine?"
"Yes, the Great Supervisor brought in these strange shrines one by one, and the temple gods inside... were kindly escorted out by the Great Supervisor."
Fang Shangzhen wasn't surprised that Li Che could recognize it at a glance.
As a Sacred Falcon Demigod, if he couldn't recognize a strange shrine, he would be unworthy of the title.
Li Che didn't ask further.
Xi Xi squeezed into the cultivation chamber and immediately felt the vast and majestic Divine Nature rushing towards her, startling the little girl.
"Daddy! So much Divine Nature, so much! Xi Xi feels like she can absorb it all at once!" Xi Xi exclaimed in delight.
The little girl was no longer a novice in cultivation and understood the importance of Divine Nature.
Although her father was an incredibly powerful Sacred Falcon Demigod, she might not have lacked Divine Nature crystals since childhood, but these crystals were always welcome.
The most important thing was that the Divine Nature in this cultivation chamber was so easy to absorb, almost without any hindrance, much smoother than extracting and refining it from Divine Nature crystals!
In just a short while, Xi Xi felt that her divine form cultivation had improved significantly!
"Xi Xi is about to participate in the Peach Blossom Dragonling Competition, and the main banquet is very different from the preliminary banquet. Many divine children directly join the main banquet, so they haven't come to attend the preliminary banquet."
Among the various divine sects, the Southern Sea Purple Bamboo Grove and the Celestial Master Dao's Purple Mansion Divine Sect... these two major divine sects are no ordinary entities.
Especially the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, almost every Peach Blossom Banquet, the dragonlings and heroes they send can secure one of the top three peaches.
Fang Shangzhen said.
"Moreover, with the addition of the princely and noble offspring from the eternal noble families, the competition and difficulty are much greater than the preliminary banquet. It's not just a small-scale affair... Some people even hide their true strength during the preliminary banquet."
"Ultimately, the preliminary banquet is mainly for securing a spot at the main banquet."
Li Che nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, not at all surprised.
A nine-thousand-year-old peach is of immense value.
Every faction is eyeing it greedily.
After all, a nine-thousand-year-old peach can extend one's lifespan by a thousand years.
As long as one doesn't do anything to shorten their lifespan, such as using secret techniques that consume life force...
A thousand years of lifespan can grind out a peak Martial Saint or a great divine being.
Li Che practiced with Xi Xi in the cultivation chamber for a while.
Perhaps due to the new environment, Xi Xi became unusually serious, sitting cross-legged on the ground and continuously absorbing divine essence.
Even Li Che couldn't help but marvel at how good this cultivation chamber really was.
In the days to come, he planned to stay in the cultivation chamber with Xi Xi.
...
...
As night fell, the spring rain became even more subtle.
The darkness of the night made the raindrops almost invisible, but the sound of the rain tapping on the ground and the tiles was crystal clear.
Deep into the night.
Li Che stood up, stretched, and his bones made a slight popping sound, though not too loud.
After all, Xi Xi was sitting nearby, immersed in cultivation.
Li Che didn't wake Xi Xi; he placed her inside the cultivation chamber and let her continue her practice. Then, he left the cultivation chamber.
Fang Shangzhen was sitting outside the cultivation chamber, leaning against the railing, a lamp lit, and reading a book.
No wonder she was the elder sister of the great elder Fang Hanshu, sharing a love for reading.
"Rest assured, Xi Xi will be safe cultivating inside the Divination Bureau Treasury Tower. Even the Temple Guard Command's Chief Supervisor Ye Pengju won't dare to barge in."
Fang Shangzhen closed her book, her Daoist robe fluttering, and smiled faintly.
"The Great Supervisor's Dao essence is fused with the entire treasury tower. Any slight disturbance will trigger the divine seal array covering the entire tower..."
"The Great Supervisor once said that even if a Calamity Seal Great Cultivator comes, they'll have to shed some skin!"
Divine Seal Array!
Li Che's heart stirred slightly, but he didn't activate the Heaven and Earth Chessboard to investigate.
Xi Xi had the Flying Thunder Chess Piece he left with her, so he could sense any danger and rush to her side immediately.
Therefore, Li Che didn't worry too much, showing a high level of trust in the Divination Bureau's security.
Fang Shangzhen was pleased with Li Che's attitude.
This trust in the Divination Bureau indicated that Li Che was gradually developing a sense of belonging, which was a good thing.
"Guest Scholar Li, rest assured... Since the Great Supervisor has spoken, I will call on Deputy Supervisor Yue Taofu to help you take revenge. These forces from the Western Buddha Land have been infiltrating Great Jing for a long time, and I've been annoyed with them!"
Li Che smiled: "Then I'll go call the Sect Master and the True Martial Sect's Sect Master Shi Jian. With more people, we can thoroughly beat that Seven Treasures Bodhimanda Golden Buddha King Pagoda deity."
Fang Shangzhen couldn't help but laugh at this.
With the Sacred Turtle, Fang Shangzhen, Yue Taofu, Lu Tai Bai, and Shi Jian...
Even the deity of the Four Virtues' Ghoulish Quarters would have a hard time avoiding a beating.
After making this agreement, Li Che left the Divination Bureau.
The rain pattered on the white jade steps, forming a small waterfall as it flowed down.
Nie Yang was practicing swordsmelting with Li Chengzhou at the foot of the white jade steps in front of the Divination Bureau, drenched in the spring rain.
Nie Yang had specially crafted a heavy black iron sword for Li Chengzhou, making it very heavy. Li Chengzhou had to hold the sword with one hand and maintain the position for an hour!
Nie Yang didn't let Li Chengzhou practice alone; he also held a heavy sword, practicing alongside his disciple.
When Li Che emerged from the Divination Bureau, he saw the master and disciple training fervently in the rain, drenched in sweat!
When Nie Yang saw Li Che, he immediately shouted: "Chengzhou! Sheath the sword!"
The master and disciple almost simultaneously completed their sheathing motions.
Li Chengzhou was breathing heavily, his sword hand trembling.
"Elder Li!"
Nie Yang exhaled, then smiled at Li Che, his eyes showing a hint of curiosity: "Where's Xi Xi?"
"She's cultivating in the Divination Bureau. We'll head back to the Heavenly Origin Academy first."
Li Che replied with a smile.
Nie Yang didn't ask further. The dragon horse neighed, its hooves stomping, splashing water.
...
...
The vast sky and the drizzling spring rain.
The night was as dark as ink, impenetrable, allowing no light to pass through.
Dark clouds piled up in the sky, countless fine raindrops cascading down like willow catkins fluttering in a gentle breeze.
The Grand Canal's surface rippled with circles, and several flower boats swayed on the water, their lanterns reflecting a colorful, fragmented light on the ripples.
The Grand Canal was dug all the way to the Divine Capital's second City, but the docks were only set up in the Ninth Layer of the Divine Capital, with few boats entering the Second City.
In the Second City, the Grand Canal's surface narrowed significantly.
Even in the rain, the lively atmosphere on the flower boats couldn't be extinguished, and the nobles' revelries were hard to suppress.
After investigating why the Great Supervisor returned specially today, Chief Supervisor Hua cameFlower boatsw
Heaven Soaring
Divination Bureau Treasury Tower
In the Grand Canal, there stands a strange shrine of the Four Virtues, a formidable force not to be underestimated. Should it revolt, the consequences could be immense.
However, in the Divine Capital, the threat of the strange shrine is not as grave as one might imagine. After all, the capital is teeming with powerful individuals, and even if the shrine were to revolt, there would be strong cultivators ready to suppress it.
Hua Manlou, with his oily and slippery face, wore a radiant smile as he was served by the flower queen. He drank the fine wine and, with a playful touch, began to caress the white and smooth back of the flower queen, his intentions clear as he explored the mountains.
Suddenly, Hua Manlou's eyebrows furrowed, and his movements paused.
"Governor Hua...why...why did you stop?"
"Have I not served you well enough?" the flower queen asked, her eyes filled with allure.
Hua Manlou raised a finger, pressing it against her red lips.
"Don't speak."
Hua Manlou's expression turned solemn.
The flower queen's beauty paled as she saw Hua Manlou, the unparalleled Martial Saint, display such a grave demeanor.
What had happened? Hua Manlou approached the window of the flower boat and looked out.
Suddenly, on the surface of the Grand Canal, a thick mist began to roll, and five figures appeared, walking on the water as if it were solid ground. The ripples they created crashed against the flower boat, causing it to shake violently.
Hua Manlou's oily face twitched slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"This lineup..."
"What are you doing?!"
Fang Shangzhen and Yue Taofu, the two deputy supervisors of the Heaven-forecasting Bureau, were among them. Lu Tai Bai and Shi Jian, the two sect leaders, were also present, one of them a double-ranked cultivator with the power of the Soul Transition Essence Tribulation Sword.
The other was the fourth-ranked martial arts master of the Heaven Gate Pass.
Such a formidable group...what were they up to?
As for Li Che, he was merely a Divine Embryo aura, and Hua Manlou completely ignored him.
However, Hua Manlou wasn't a fool, and in the third breath after ignoring Li Che, he swiftly turned his gaze towards him.
Among a group of vicious wolves, a cute puppy stood out, and that was a problem.
"Li Che..."
Hua Manlou recognized Li Che, the newly appointed Distinguished Guest Scholar of the Heaven-forecasting Bureau. Moreover, today's investigation revealed that only Li Che and his daughter had visited the Heaven-forecasting Bureau's Treasury Tower.
In other words, today's return of the Great Supervisor, triggering a calamity tribulation, was likely due to the person before them?
A peculiar smile appeared on Hua Manlou's oily face. He patted the flower queen's soft chest, and before she could even cry out, he transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, his Governor's robe fluttering in the wind.
On the rippling surface of the Grand Canal, he strode forward, his flower fan snapping open with a loud 'whoosh'.
"Ladies and gentlemen, with such a grand formation, where are you headed?"
"Is it to destroy the shrine?"
Hua Manlou's handsome face broke into a bright smile.
Eyes fell upon him, and Fang Shangzhen and Yue Taofu, the two deputy supervisors, fixed their gazes on him.
