Chapter 378: Father's Glory is Xi Xi's Glory, the Kunlun Mirror of the Three Pure Heavenly Origin Su
Chapter 378: Father's Glory is Xi Xi's Glory, the Kunlun Mirror of the Three Pure Heavenly Origin Sun (Part 1)
"The first hero of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, Li Che, has successfully ascended to the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard!"
"Ascending to the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard!"
"Ascending..."
The voice, like an ancient bell, reverberated loudly, creating a vast wave of sound that surged and crashed like thunder, startling the heroes from various factions within the Thousand-Year Peach Orchard, leaving them stunned, surprised, and bewildered.
The sound echoed throughout the entire Peach Orchard, reaching everyone's ears, making it impossible to ignore.
The first hero to ascend to the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard!
Many faces showed subtle changes.
In the Peach Orchard.
Zhang Xuan Lei raised his head, his eyes flickering with arcs of electricity. His black Daoist robe fluttered in the wind, and his entire body exuded an extremely dense and surging aura of malevolent energy.
Of course, there was also a look of bewilderment on his face.
How long had it been? Li Che had already gathered five thousand-year peaches and advanced to the second round, ascending to the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard?
Why?
How could he be so fast?
Zhang Xuan Lei's fist clenched tightly, as if a bolt of lightning was brewing in his palm, causing the air to distort terrifyingly.
He had originally wanted to encounter Li Che in the first round and defeat him, preventing him from advancing to the second round.
But before he could find Li Che and take his revenge to settle the grudge between the children, Li Che had already advanced to the second round.
It was too fast.
The Peach Orchard Maze was constantly changing, and every peach tree was quietly moving. Each movement would change the layout, making it challenging for the heroes to find each other.
The Thousand-Year Peach Orchard was vast, and even with a hundred heroes, it was not easy for them to encounter each other.
Zhang Xuan Lei was also lucky to have found a hero from the Mystical Talisman Sect, Yang Ziyun. Due to their close proximity, Zhang Xuan Lei was able to lock onto his aura and continuously chase and catch up to him.
It should be known that Zhang Xuan Lei's cultivation was extremely powerful, and even with his Heaven-Earth Soul, it was difficult for him to sense and chase after others.
As for Li Che... How could he be so fast in finding the other four heroes and obtaining peaches from them?
"Damn it!"
Zhang Xuan Lei's anger could not be contained. He felt like a knife stabbing his heart, causing him unbearable pain and great anger.
The main issue was that his face was losing its dignity.
"So, you want to go to the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard..."
Zhang Xuan Lei's feet suddenly erupted with thunder, and his divine power exploded. His entire body was pulled into streaks of afterimages, and he quickly rushed towards a direction in the Peach Orchard.
As Li Che became the first hero to advance to the second round...
Zhang Xuan Lei was anxious.
...
...
A head of golden hair suddenly burst into the air, and a terrifying wave of power surged forth. He threw a punch, and behind him, a gigantic phantom of a ferocious beast seemed to be pushing forward.
The Golden Furred Dog easily defeated a hero from the Seven Treasures Sect, taking the peach he had picked. The hero from the Seven Treasures Sect summoned one divine armament after another, but to no avail. Without a divine armament that could change the situation, summoning more divine armaments was futile.
However, the Golden Furred Dog did not kill the hero from the Seven Treasures Sect. Instead, he let the heavily injured hero from the Seven Treasures Sect escape.
The Golden Furred Dog was not stupid. At this moment, he was within the range of the Great Jing Dynasty.
He was participating in the Great Jing Dynasty's Peach Banquet, and he naturally could not act recklessly and kill indiscriminately. If he did, he feared he would not be able to leave the Great Jing Dynasty's territory.
Of course, the Golden Furred Dog did not need to kill. Defeating the heroes from the Great Jing Dynasty was enough to gain face for Witch Mountain and complete his task.
The Golden Furred Dog was not satisfied with just winning against Li Che. He had a bet with Li Che, and he wanted to win this bet.
The pride of Witch Mountain made him unwilling to easily lose the bet.
The Golden Furred Dog's hair fluttered, and he slightly closed his eyes. Behind him, a giant phantom of a dog seemed to be sniffing and capturing the auras of other heroes within the Peach Orchard Maze.
This was one of his divine embryo secret techniques, a small secret technique, which was excellent for tracking.
The Golden Furred Dog had ambition. He believed that with this tracking secret technique, he would be like a fish in water within the Peach Orchard Maze, and no one could blend in better than him.
His bet with Li Che was to see who could obtain the Nine Thousand Year Peach.
As long as he obtained the Nine Thousand Year Peach, he, the Golden Furred Dog, would win the bet and bring back the incompetent Golden Tai Sui to Witch Mountain for punishment.
The Golden Furred Dog thought of Golden Tai Sui with great disgust and disappointment.
Suddenly, the Golden Furred Dog trembled, and his pupils constricted.
Because he, too, had heard the sound that reverberated throughout the entire Peach Orchard.
Li Che...
Had ascended.
The first hero to ascend to the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard!
Damn it!
How could he do it?
Did he have a dog's nose?
The Golden Furred Dog was surprised that Li Che could gather five peaches in such a short time...
Even he, who possessed the divine embryo tracking secret technique, had only barely obtained the first peach.
Angry that Li Che's speed was so fast, if he were to be one step ahead and ascend to the Nine Thousand Year Peach Orchard, obtaining the Nine Thousand Year Peach...
What then?
Boom!
"Absolutely not, never!"
The Golden Furred Dog let out a long howl, its golden fur bristling, and with a snort, it sprinted out.
"Fine, what's the point of competing for the first spot in the Thousand-Year Peach Orchard? I can still strive for the first ascension to the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard!"
The Golden Furred Dog consoled itself, its fighting spirit rekindling.
...
...
A voice reverberated throughout the entire Peach Orchard, clear as a proclamation, causing everyone's hearts to stir with a sense of tension.
Li Che was the first to enter the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard...
Would taking the first step lead to taking the lead in every step?
What would Li Che, who had entered the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard so early, do next? Who would be the second hero to ascend to the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard?
A sense of urgency instantly spread, gripping the hearts of every hero.
Almost visibly, the heroes who had been strolling cautiously through the Peach Orchard suddenly broke into a run, frantically searching for other heroes!
Because, as each hero gathered five peaches and ascended, the number of peaches left in the Thousand-Year Peach Orchard would gradually decrease, and eventually...
They would never be able to gather five peaches again, destined to lose themselves in the Peach Orchard, endlessly wasting away!
Second City of the Divine Capital.
Above the Jade Square.
The Heavenly River Curtain flowed with a gushing sound, each droplet bursting like an explosion, radiating a misty glow.
As if the Heavenly River had breached its banks, the falling droplets collided, creating subtle ripples, and surprisingly, a voice emerged from the water curtain.
Then, like a storm, the voice echoed throughout the entire Jade Square!
"The First Hero of the Heavenly Origin Sect, Li Che, ascends to the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard!"
The voice was like a resounding bell, as if countless droplets had burst forth, forming a mighty sound.
The wind howled, blowing furiously like a raging tide.
In the Second City of the Divine Capital, within the large tents erected to shield against the spring rain, the powerful cultivators from various Divine Sects and Aristocratic Clans all revealed expressions of astonishment and surprise.
"Li Che?"
"The Half-Sage Li from the Heavenly Origin Sect?!"
"Goodness... So, the one who got beaten up and had both the Kunlun Jade and the peach taken away, and then couldn't be caught up with by the Heavenly River Hairpin's water curtain... It was Li, the Half-Sage!"
...
After a moment or two of silence, the next instant was filled with a cacophony of excited voices.
Heavenly Origin Sect, Main Banquet Area.
Lu Tai Bai couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was indeed him...
As expected, judging by his style, Lu Tai Bai had guessed it was Li Che's doing.
The incredibly skilled breath-concealing technique, the exceptionally powerful sensing ability, and on top of that... his unparalleled skill in stealing the Kunlun Jade and peaches!
When the hero Liu Qing from the Celestial Essence Sect suffered at Li Che's hands, Lu Tai Bai had his suspicions, and now they were confirmed.
Xi Xi had a chicken leg in her mouth, her eyes wide with surprise and astonishment. The next moment, boundless joy blossomed on her small face!
"No wonder he's Xi Xi's father, quietly accomplishing such a grand feat!"
Xi Xi spoke with her mouth full of chicken, her words slightly muffled, but she was dancing with excitement.
She jumped out of Zhang Ya's arms, hands on her hips, and waved proudly to her friends.
Her father's glory was her glory!
Pride and joy also shone in Zhang Ya's eyes.
Indeed, a hero remains a hero!'
However, as the bell-like voice spread, some faces turned extremely ugly, with even anger surfacing.
This was none other than Xuan Jiu Zhuan, the Sect Leader of the Mystical Talisman Sect! He clenched his fists, and deep within his eyes, a profound pain emerged.
"Yang Ziyun!"
He was a hero from the Mystical Talisman Sect, at the first divine transformation of the Divine Embryo realm, who had hoped to obtain some peaches in this Peach Banquet.
But, as everyone was astonished by the voice emanating from the shaking water curtain, a scene appeared within the nine-grid image on the water curtain—the first hero of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, Zhang Xuan Lei, brutally killing Yang Ziyun from the Mystical Talisman Sect.
This scene wasn't witnessed by Xuan Jiu Zhuan alone; many disciples of the Mystical Talisman Sect also saw it, their hearts trembling with sorrow.
A Mystical Talisman Sect disciple, a young girl in a white dress, covered her mouth and let out a painful scream, tears streaming down her face.
Yang Ziyun was her father.
"Purple Mansion Divine Sect!"
Xuan Jiu Zhuan, his face filled with malevolent energy, turned towards the main banquet area of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, his gaze falling on Zhang Wujie, the Sect Leader.
Zhang Wujie had been watching Zhang Xuan Lei closely.
Seeing Zhang Xuan Lei's merciless and ruthless actions, leaving no room for retreat or chance, he couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Xuan Lei's actions were a manifestation of his anger over Zhang Yunlei's death, redirected towards this hero from the Mystical Talisman Sect.
Zhang Wujie's purple robe billowed, and he folded his sleeves, his hands clasped in front of him, his face filled with apology.
"Zhang Wujie, there's no need for false sincerity!"
Xuan Jiu Zhuan's face turned cold, and he abruptly waved his sleeve, "From this day forth, the Mystical Talisman Sect will target the Celestial Master Path. Every talisman from our sect will no longer be sold to anyone from the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, with a thirty percent increase in prices!"
The Mystical Talisman Sect, as the top sect in the Divine Capital for talismans, controlled most of the talisman market.
The Mystical Talisman Sect possesses a Divine Talisman Master! The standoff between the Mystical Talisman Sect and the Purple Mansion Sect was merely a minor interlude.
After all, the Peach Banquet was a gathering of combat, and it was normal for life-threatening situations to occur.
At this moment, all eyes were focused on the Heavenly River Curtain.
Because, on the curtain, a new scene was projected.
The nine-grid image disappeared.
It was a single silhouette that appeared.
It was Li Che, with his black hair like dark lightning striking the air, and his ink-colored robe fluttering.
A faint golden light emanated from Li Che's forehead, and five peaches hovered above his shoulders, circling him gently.
Then, from within the five peaches, a brilliant light burst forth, transforming into five dense and profound streams of divinity and vitality, enveloping Li Che like a celestial aura.
He seemed like a celestial being ascending to immortality, standing amidst clouds of divine energy.
Rustling, rustling—
The branches swayed, and suddenly, numerous peach trees appeared in front of Li Che, neatly arranged as if forming a path to immortality.
As the peach trees swayed, celestial energy and vitality flowed down, creating a misty river of divine essence that lifted Li Che as if he were stepping on auspicious clouds, ascending directly into the Five Thousand-Year Peach Orchard.
The scene ended.
It disappeared, returning to silence.
The nine-grid image of the Thousand-Year Peach Orchard reappeared, now showing those anxious faces frantically searching for their opponents.
For a moment...
The entire Second and Third Districts of the Divine Capital fell into complete silence.
At the main banquet seat of the Peach Banquet.
The Empress's fair fingers held the Heavenly River Hairpin, and a smile appeared on her face.
"So... it's this Li Bansheng."
"Even the Heavenly River Curtain couldn't track Li Bansheng's defeat of the other heroes."
"This Li Bansheng's abilities are truly unfathomable."
The Empress smiled lightly, her eyes sparkling.
Indeed, this hidden individual had finally been exposed, but the identity revealed was quite unexpected.
The Emperor's face was enveloped in profound energy and vitality, his eyes deep and mysterious.
"It's either luck or... Li Bansheng truly has the ability to clearly detect others' locations and movements in the Peach Orchard?"
"Otherwise, how could he find the other heroes so quickly and accurately, especially since each hero's cultivation is not high, and many are much weaker than him, allowing him to easily take their peaches?"
The Emperor's words caused the Empress's eyes to shine faintly.
The Empress turned her head, her exquisite face revealing a look of surprise.
"Your Majesty means..."
"This Li Bansheng might have connected with that divine armament?
