Chapter 379: Divine Embryo Transformation, Three Souls Merge, Plucking the Kunlun Mirror, the Three Heroes of the Purple Mansion Join Forces to Attack Li Bansheng (Part 1)
The Kunlun Mirror!
A Three Pure Ones Rank Divine Armament!
The highest-ranked Divine Armament that Li Che knew of so far.
Located in the Xi Wangmu's Strange Temple, even the Great Jing Royal Family had been tirelessly searching for it. And now, the trail of this Divine Armament...
Has been discovered by Li Che!
Furthermore, Li Che had just been considering using that strand of aura to refine and assimilate the Kunlun Mirror, a Three Pure Ones Heavenly Origin Kunlun Mirror!
Since this Divine Armament had never been discovered or controlled, it wasn't ranked on the Great Jing Imperial Heavenly Venerate Divine Armament List, which was appraised by the Great Supervisor.
Li Che's pupils couldn't conceal his excitement.
The Three Pure Ones Heavenly Origin Kunlun Mirror!
Such a Divine Armament...
If he could control and refine it, his overall cultivation would likely undergo a tremendous transformation.
In the Pan Tao Yuan, a gentle breeze stirred, carrying a hint of scorching heat.
A stream of radiant heat shot down from the sky, moving at an incredibly fast speed, almost comparable to the velocity of light, directly piercing and melting the fiery aura lingering on the Ji Huanglong's Imprisonment Chess Piece.
This was a pure aura of Dao Essence, incredibly fast, scorching, and sharp...
Even without anyone controlling it, the radiant light shooting down from this unclaimed Divine Armament was powerful enough to slay a top-tier Absolute Apex cultivator!
Li Che closed his eyes again, and in his chest, the Chess Sage Dao Fruit pulsated vigorously.
His entire consciousness once again converged within the chessboard, sensing the aura on the Imprisonment Chess Piece, slowly rising into the air as if detaching from his physical body, following the direction guided by the aura, gradually ascending.
Scorching, dazzling, and brilliant!
The intense radiance seemed to reflect the blazing sun, capturing and refracting its light.
Terrifying auras continued to shower down.
This time, Li Che didn't directly tear through the radiance to reveal the true appearance of the Kunlun Mirror as he had done before.
Instead, he chose to sit beneath the Kunlun Mirror, bathing in the radiance, feeling the power of the Kunlun Mirror washing over him.
The dazzling and scorching radiance was extremely hot, and Li Che felt as if his Heaven-Earth Soul was being forged in a smelting pool, instantly turning red-hot, almost on the verge of melting.
Sizzling sounds echoed, as if flesh were being roasted on a pan, constantly crackling.
Li Che felt like his Heaven-Earth Soul was about to completely dissolve.
He couldn't bear it...
To withstand this roasting radiance and the washing of the Dao Essence power within, his current Heaven-Earth Soul's strength was insufficient, falling far short...
The gap was too wide.
To refine it was simply impossible.
The aura lingering on Ji Huanglong's Imprisonment Chess Piece was incapable of supporting Li Che in completing this refinement.
Li Che couldn't help but feel a headache.
It was as if a treasure mountain was placed before him, yet he didn't know how to reap its rewards.
As he endured the roasting radiance, Li Che vaguely sensed the constantly erupting light from the Kunlun Mirror, the light becoming softer and more distorted, like woolen yarn swaying in the wind.
What Li Che wanted to do was to grasp these strands of light, then pull them into the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, and gradually refine them.
By refining these strands of aura, he could then use the connected aura to pull the Kunlun Mirror into the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
For Li Che, attempting to refine the Kunlun Mirror in one go was akin to a fantasy.
The difficulty was too great and unrealistic.
However, if he could pull the Kunlun Mirror into the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, into his own territory, and then refine it slowly, the possibility would be much higher.
Therefore, Li Che's endeavor was precisely this attempt!
Hum—
Within the Niwan Inner Scene.
The Spirit-Creating True Ape Divine Embryo trembled, as if emitting a deafening roar, and the profound divine energy surged, forming a storm, vast and mighty.
Additionally, the Seven Emotions Divine Embryos, which had transformed from the Golden Pills, also vibrated, and the deities that Li Che had previously captured using the Summoning Deity Technique and integrated into his Divine Foundation, now faintly manifested their divine nature within the Divine Embryo.
The divine nature surged, as if a massive wave was stirred within the soul, and the perception power subsequently shook, continuously merging into Li Che's Heaven-Earth Soul, which was suspended beneath the Kunlun Mirror.
Rip, rip—
The strands of light swayed gently in the air, like woolen yarn.
But each swaying motion was like a sharp blade, slicing Li Che's perception, leaving wounds.
Boom—
As Li Che's Heaven-Earth Soul was shattered, his Niwan Inner Scene stirred up a storm, and the numerous Divine Embryos vibrated, suppressing the storm before once again condensing a Heaven-Earth Soul to attempt to pull the aura.
Each time his Heaven-Earth Soul shattered, Li Che's Heaven-Earth Soul seemed to capture a bit of the aura.
Gradually, through repeated shattering, the accumulated aura became substantial.
"Hu—"
"Suck—"
Throughout the Five Thousand Year Peach Orchard, an unparalleled tranquility prevailed, as until now, only Li Che had ascended.
Accompanying Li Che's breathing, it was like rolling thunder, with howling gusts stirring among the numerous peach trees.
Li Che sat in meditation, his consciousness soaring into the Nine Heavens.
Desiring to pluck the Kunlun Mirror!
...
...
The Thousand-Year Peach Orchard.
Accompanied by rustling sounds, the peach trees kept shifting, and whenever a hero dashed through the orchard, it would startle the trees, causing them to secretly change positions.
The sound of the Peach Orchard trees constantly moving reverberated without end.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a terrifying collision erupted, powerful auras raged and intertwined. Amidst the dancing arcs of lightning, a figure bled profusely, their eyes revealing a crimson hue.
"Zhang Xuan Lei, do you really intend to exterminate everyone?"
A low growl emanated from the mouth of a Hero from the Seven Treasures Sect, his eyes already bloodshot.
"Your son is dead. Why don't you go bother Li Che? Why are you causing trouble for us?"
"In life, it's good to leave some room for future encounters. Don't you know that? Do you really think that just because your Purple Mansion Sect is the top sect in the Great Realm, you can act recklessly without any regard?"
Ning Yun, the second Hero from the Seven Treasures Sect, continued to bleed, his injuries severe.
As the second Hero, Ning Yun's strength was not weak. Combined with his array of divine armaments, although he was only at the peak of the first opening of the Martial Sage realm, not yet having opened his Qi Sea, he could unleash the combat power of a Martial Sage at the second opening of the Qi Sea realm.
However, he encountered Zhang Xuan Lei...
This madman from the Purple Mansion Sect!
Driven by the death of his son, he had become cruelly ruthless, ready to unleash a massacre.
Behind Zhang Xuan Lei, a shrine slowly rose, the one he cultivated in the Temple of the Gods. His shrine was completely different from his son Zhang Yuanlong's; it was more refined and exuded a stronger divine essence, as if it were a wooden sculpture meticulously carved by a master craftsman.
"Die."
Zhang Xuan Lei swept a cold gaze over Ning Yun.
His five fingers suddenly spread wide, and within his palm, thunderous sounds intensified. In an instant, a bolt of lightning resembling a spear burst forth with a sizzling sound.
It instantly shattered the divine armament Ning Yun held before him, piercing his heart, pulverizing his five viscera, and shattering his martial essence pill!
Pfft---
Ning Yun coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, wanting to crush the peach to destroy it. However, he was controlled by the arcs of lightning manipulated by Zhang Xuan Lei's fingers, causing him to lose the power to destroy the peach.
"When you choose to cling to life, it means you lack the courage to burn everything to ashes."
Zhang Xuan Lei spoke with indifference.
Ning Yun glared with fury, his aura completely extinguished.
This was the fourth Hero to die at Zhang Xuan Lei's hands.
In this Hero Competition, Zhang Xuan Lei had unleashed a massacre, holding nothing back.
Against any opponent, he chose to give it his all!
"Five of them..."
The fifth peach hovered and rose.
Zhang Xuan Lei abruptly spread his arms wide, slowly exhaling a mouthful of turbid air.
Buzzing sounds reverberated.
In the next moment, a misty aura burst forth.
"The first Hero of the Purple Mansion Sect, Zhang Xuan Lei, has gathered five Thousand-Year Peaches and becomes the second to ascend to the Five Thousand-Year Peach Orchard."
...
"The first Hero of the Witch Mountain, Golden Furred Dog, has gathered five Thousand-Year Peaches and becomes the third to ascend to the Five Thousand-Year Peach Orchard."
...
"The first Hero of the Western Buddha Land's Thousand Rides Buddha Kingdom, Kalo, has gathered five Thousand-Year Peaches and becomes the fourth to ascend to the Five Thousand-Year Peach Orchard."
...
"The first Hero of the True Martial Sect, Shi Xuan, has gathered five Thousand-Year Peaches and becomes the fifth to ascend to the Five Thousand-Year Peach Orchard..."
"..."
The sounds of the announcement continued to reverberate like the tolling of a bell.
The branches and leaves of the Peach trees swayed incessantly, rustling in the wind.
After Li Che's ascension, about half a day passed before other Heroes began to ascend as well.
This wave of ascensions seemed to occur almost simultaneously.
The announcement continued to echo.
However, only the first five ascensions were announced.
After Zhang Xuan Lei, Golden Furred Dog, Kalo, and Shi Xuan ascended to the Five Thousand-Year Peach Orchard, the announcements ceased.
For the other Heroes, the sense of urgency became increasingly intense.
With five ascensions, it meant that in the first round, only fifteen spots remained!
Following the ascension of the top five, the second Hero of the Purple Mansion Sect, Zhang Xuanhe, and the third Hero, Zhang Xuanyu, along with others, also successfully advanced to the second round after fierce battles.
Heroes from the Eternal Families of the Divine Capital, the Ji, Yue, and Gongshu families, also advanced, securing spots.
As the spots diminished, the competition intensified.
The Peach trees moved faster and faster, and the aftermath of battles continued to impact them, constantly triggering their restrictions to prevent damage.
The disciples of Princess Hime Magari, Zhou Chenguo, the Dragon God lineage's Ao Yuan, and the first Heroes of various divine sects, almost secured twenty spots.
The last Hero to advance to the second round, from the Heavenly Essence Sect, was Liu Qing, who defeated his opponent with severe injuries and claimed their peach.
With that, all twenty Heroes advancing to the second round of the Five Thousand-Year Peach Competition were decided!
Liu Qing's eyes welled up with tears. He kept stuffing pills into his mouth, never imagining he would have another chance to gather five peaches...
His journey had been incredibly challenging.
However, this experience also fueled Liu Qing's determination. No matter how high the mountain, he would climb it step by step, showing those who had once defeated him his resilience!
Crack, crack...
Liu Qing, treating the restorative pills like candy, felt that his journey had been too difficult. Wiping away his tears, he continued to consume the pills.
...
...
Buzzing sounds reverberated.
The Five Thousand-Year Peach Orchard.
Outside the Peach Orchard, one figure after another appeared.
A large bamboo fence separated these figures, preventing them from entering the Peach Orchard, while the bamboo gate remained tightly shut.
Zhang Xuan Lei, clad in a black Daoist robe, had lightning patterns swirling at his brow, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Zhang Xuan Lei!"
Two figures approached swiftly.
They joined Zhang Xuan Lei, the other two Heroes from the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, Zhang Xuanhe and Zhang Xuanyu. All three were disciples of the "Xuan" generation.
Upon seeing them, Zhang Xuan Lei's eyes softened, and he nodded slightly.
Both Zhang Xuanhe and Zhang Xuanyu had advanced to the second round, which lifted Zhang Xuan Lei's spirits a little.
However, the thought of Li Che, the first one to advance, and the father of Li Nuan Xi, who had killed his son, made Zhang Xuan Lei's anger surge.
"We've also temporarily figured out the rules of the Hero Competition. Once we enter the Peach Orchard, the Peach trees will transform into a maze, isolating us from each other. So, let's exchange breaths as proof and gather quickly."
Zhang Xuan Lei spoke.
Zhang Xuanhe and Zhang Xuanyu naturally had no objections.
"After advancing to the second round, we'll meet up. With our combined strength, we can dominate this Peach Orchard..."
"Let's find Li Che first. I want to kill him, and I need your help."
Zhang Xuan Lei's voice was grave.
"No problem."
Zhang Xuanhe and Zhang Xuanyu didn't refuse. They had watched Zhang Yuanlong grow up, only to die at the hands of Li Nuan Xi. Their hearts ached with pain.
Zhang Xuan Lei sought revenge, and they naturally supported him.
With the three of them together, no one could stop them.
Zhang Xuan Lei's gaze swept past, and he suddenly paused.
"The three Heroes of the True Martial Divine Sect... have all advanced as well?"
"Shi Xuan, Shi Miao, and Shi Jingang, the three Heroes of the True Martial Divine Sect!"
Zhang Xuan Lei furrowed his brows.
The True Martial Divine Sect had a good relationship with Li Che. If they forcefully protected him, it would be a significant problem.
"Ji Chen from the Ji family, Yue Wanglou from the Yue family, and Gongshu Changgong from the Gongshu family..."
"These three, although from ancient aristocratic clans, are not to be feared."
Zhang Xuan Lei's gaze turned cold.
"The only ones worth noting are the Jialuo Monks from the Western Buddha Land, the Golden Furred Dog from Witch Mountain, and Jade Guanyin from the South Sea. I fear they might join forces..."
"The others are insignificant, mere trash."
"To advance to the third round, entering the Seven Thousand Year Peach Orchard, we'll also need to gather five Peaches..."
"Those who advanced to the second round are no weaklings. Their strength is formidable... So, when we enter the Peach Orchard, we must gather quickly."
"Then, we'll join forces to defeat our enemies swiftly, one by one, and collect the Peaches!"
Zhang Xuan Lei's eyes flashed with lightning.
"Once we three advance to the third round, to advance from the third round to the Seven Thousand Year Peach Orchard, we'll need three Peaches. If necessary, you two give me your Peaches, and I can ensure our advancement directly.
