Chapter 384: Xi Xi's Future, Like Her Father, Will Fight and Kill for the Fun of It (Part 1)
Four...
How could there only be four left?!
The Queen's heart trembled violently, and she even felt a bit panicked. Yes, she was panicked!
These seven-thousand-year-old peaches were all registered, and the distribution was already planned. They were extremely important to the Royal Family of Da Li.
If not for the special nature of Xi Wangmu's Mysterious Temple, the Queen would not have the authority to manage the distribution of these peaches.
Therefore, each Queen was extremely sensitive to the number of peaches.
When the door to the seven-thousand-year-old peach orchard opened, the Queen, through the Heavenly River Hairpin, sensed the number of peaches within...
She felt like the heavens were about to collapse!
"Who?!"
After the Queen's panic, she clenched her teeth.
The peaches couldn't have disappeared for no reason, and the orchard was in a closed state, so it was impossible for others to take them away.
Hmm?
Closed...
The Queen couldn't help but think of Li Che, who had ascended to the seven-thousand-year-old peach orchard first.
Could it be that Li Che took the peaches? But originally, there were six seven-thousand-year-old peaches, yet now only four remained, which meant two were missing...
It was impossible for one person to pick two peaches in the orchard at the same time!
Because within the orchard, there existed extremely strict rules. If one's cultivation was sufficient, picking one peach was possible.
However, if one wanted to pick two peaches, they would inevitably be struck by a terrifying force.
That force... even a top-tier expert couldn't withstand it and would suffer a terrible blow.
And Li Che...
Even if he entered the orchard first, it was impossible for him to pick two peaches.
The Queen's graceful expression turned deathly pale, and her whole body trembled, feeling as if the heavens had collapsed.
Seven-thousand-year-old peaches...
Only four remained.
Fortunately, it was just enough to meet the conditions for the fourth round.
After the Queen announced the start of the third round of the Peach Blossom Competition, she collapsed into a chair. The Emperor, on the other hand, felt something was amiss.
He looked over with a puzzled expression.
"Queen, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Could it be that you're a bit unhappy because Gongshu Changgong didn't make it to the third round?"
The Emperor asked with a smile.
The Queen, with her graceful and exquisite face, could only force a smile.
The Queen came from the Gongshu Family, with the bloodline of the Royal Family of Da Li. Therefore, her family was quite impressive, and her marriage to the Royal Family of Da Li, a strong alliance.
The Emperor's face, shimmering with divinity and qi and blood, had eyes that flickered with light.
The Queen's posture also caught his attention.
His face turned slightly gloomy.
Peaches...
Something's wrong?!
Because only the peaches in the peach orchard could affect the Queen's mood.
The Queen's sudden mood change could only mean...
A seven-thousand-year-old peach was missing?!
...
...
The Queen's emotional turmoil couldn't affect the many heroes who had stepped into the seven-thousand-year-old peach orchard.
The Golden Furred Dog, the Kalo Monks, and the Jade Guanyin from the Southern Sea Bamboo Grove, three heroes, after the seven-thousand-year-old peach orchard opened, seemed to be pushed by the immortal energy and rushed into the orchard.
When the immortal energy dispersed, the three of them, without realizing it, had already created a considerable distance between them.
Among them, there seemed to be a sense of alertness and solemnity.
"Amitabha... Fellow cultivators, let's go pick the peaches first."
"After picking the peaches, we'll compete for the title of Hero based on our abilities."
The Kalo Monks, wearing a cassock and holding an eight-ring golden staff, placed his palm in front of him and smiled lightly.
The Golden Furred Dog glanced at him, and with his golden fur spread, his entire body shot forward like a cannonball.
The powerful heavenly sense, like a terrifying lion, stood tall and looked around for prey!
"So impatient..."
The Kalo Monks shook his head and smiled lightly.
His eyes shone with brilliance: "This lion... seems to have a special connection with my Buddhist sect."
The golden lion could join my Buddhist sect.
Suddenly, the Kalo Monks looked at the distant figure with disheveled hair, holding a bamboo staff.
The Southern Sea Bamboo Grove, one of the eleven paths of the Da Li Sect, was a divine sect.
The Purple Mansion Divine Sect, as the first sect of Da Li, had both Dragonlet and Hero Competitions, each with their respective heroes.
However, the Southern Sea Bamboo Grove was considered the lowest-ranked sect among the eleven paths.
It was low-key, not flashy or boastful, unlike the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, was so domineering and arrogant.
Whether it was the Hero Competition or the Dragonlet Competition, only one person was sent.
But the Kalo Monks, from the Thousand Chariots Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Region, didn't dare underestimate this Jade Guanyin.
She was strong... and unfathomable.
The Kalo Monks looked at the Jade Guanyin, his eyes shimmering.
"Jade Guanyin, shall we join forces?"
"That Li Che is so profound and mysterious, quickly advancing in the first and second rounds. This shows his formidable strength and difficulty in dealing with."
The Kalo Monks shook the eight-ring golden staff in his hand, making a clinking sound.
The Jade Guanyin took the bamboo staff from her waist and carried it on her shoulder, her face wearing a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Isn't it because Li Che has a connection with the Underworld?"
I heard that the monks from the Little Lingyin Temple who came to the Divine Capital were all slaughtered by the Underworld..."
"The Little Lingyin Temple is your Western Region Buddhist Kingdom's representative in Da Li... Are you seeking revenge for the monks of Little Lingyin Temple?"
The Jade Guanyin shook the bamboo staff on her shoulder and smiled.
The Kalo Monks looked at her with a calm gaze and nodded: "That's right."
"The Little Lingyin Temple has a close relationship with our Thousand Chariots Buddhist Kingdom, often exchanging Buddhist teachings..."
"If Li Che truly has a deep connection with the Underworld, I, as a monk, must seek a Buddhist principle for the deceased monks of Little Lingyin Temple."
Jialuo spoke calmly.
"Golden Furred Dog, on your quest to find Li Half-Saint, if we two join forces... we'll wait until they fight to the point of mutual destruction before making our move."
"After dealing with the two of them, you and I can compete for the title of Hero Leader."
Jade Guanyin chuckled, "You're a crafty one, monk..."
"By proposing a collaboration with the Golden Furred Dog, you're probably trying to provoke him. Knowing that only four people can advance in this round, the Golden Furred Dog definitely won't want to cooperate again, so you're intentionally goading him to seek out Li Che."
"There's a bet between him and Li Che. The outcome of the battle between the Golden Furred Dog and Li Che will determine the situation of the bet, so... you're counting on the Golden Furred Dog losing his temper."
Jade Guanyin narrowed her eyes, carrying a purple bamboo staff, its leaves rustling softly.
"So, you're waiting to reap the benefits like a fisherman, already prepared to wait until they're both severely injured before making your move?"
"But you're not entirely confident, after all, the Golden Furred Dog is from Witch Mountain, and that Li Che... is connected to the Underworld, his methods are mysterious and unpredictable."
Jade Guanyin laughed.
Jialuo was very calm and nodded, "It's not because of the Golden Furred Dog, he's quite straightforward... not much to fear, it's Li Che, the Underworld's Li Half-Saint... is unfathomably deep."
"Whether it's the first or second round, being able to fly up and advance so quickly, I can't imagine how he managed it..."
"Especially in the second round, Li Che faced the three heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, and he was able to fight three against one and win..."
"I don't have full confidence against Li Half-Saint."
Jialuo spread his hands.
Jade Guanyin laughed, a hearty laugh that made her lean back and forth.
Finally, she waved her purple bamboo staff.
She also spread her hands and said, "What a coincidence..."
"I'm not fully confident against Li Half-Saint either..."
"Then let's reluctantly collaborate for now."
As her words fell, Jade Guanyin's feet landed, and in an instant, an invisible wave of energy spread out, bending the sharp frost grass on the ground.
Then, carrying the purple bamboo staff, she shot forward like an arrow.
The Jialuo monk smiled lightly and shook his staff.
He followed closely behind, as if shrinking the ground beneath his feet.
...
...
Dong, dong, dong—
His heart felt like a muffled drum beating, the invisible sound waves spreading and impacting his eardrums, causing Li Che's eardrums to swell slightly.
His head felt dizzy, his divinity boiling, like a turbulent current, constantly surging.
As Li Che continuously captured the Kunlun Death Ray projected by the Heaven and Earth Kunlun Mirror, the Heavenly Soul kept exploding.
After the explosion, within the inner landscape of the Niwan Palace, the Seven Orifices Linglong Heart constantly vibrated, radiating a pure heart, quickly re-condensing the exploded Heavenly Soul.
The re-condensed Heavenly Soul became a part of Li Che's cultivation, the Triple Integration Heavenly Soul becoming increasingly resilient, and the strength of the Heavenly Soul fed back into his divine cultivation.
This allowed the absorption of divinity within the divine crystal to become faster and faster.
Therefore, the process of tempering the Heavenly Soul was also a process of enhancing divine cultivation.
During this process, Li Che's divine cultivation only became stronger.
Li Che never expected that this Peach Orchard would become such a suitable and fitting place for his cultivation.
Here, he ate two Chi Long Blood Peaches, greatly enhancing his qi and blood. One Chi Long Blood Peach could expand the Pure Martial Qi Sea Golden Pool by eight hundred zhang, and two would be sixteen hundred zhang...
According to the Qi Blood Martial Dao, a Martial Saint at the Second Opening realm, having a Qi Sea capable of expanding to a thousand zhang already qualified to challenge the Third Opening Martial Saint. From the boundless Qi Sea, finding the mountain path, opening the Martial Dao ascent.
Allowing oneself to walk the Martial Dao like a rootless duckweed, stepping onto solid ground, ascending higher with each step, transforming oneself, surpassing oneself.
Then, reaching the mountain peak, overlooking the mundane Martial Dao, achieving the Absolute Apex!
Now, after consuming two seven-thousand-year-old Chi Long Blood Peaches, it was already enough to push his Qi Sea Golden Pool to a thousand zhang range.
However, Li Che wanted the range of his Qi Sea Golden Pool to expand even further.
Allowing the Martial Dao mountain path to rise even higher.
This way, after reaching the Martial Dao Apex, he could see even further.
Even at the mountain peak, there are still higher and lower peaks.
Just like the endless mountains and rivers in the mortal world, countless mountains rising from the ground, some high, some low, some rising, some falling.
The Martial Dao is similar to observing the mortal world, following the same principle.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, strands of breath and light intertwined.
Fortunately, the Sage of Chess's Dao Fruit transformation enhanced her capturing and suppressing abilities, otherwise, as Li Che captured more and more Kunlun Death Rays, even the Heaven-Earth Chessboard began to distort.
Looking at the intertwined Kunlun Death Rays, Li Che, through the repeated shattering and reshaping of the Heavenly Soul, had captured about forty to fifty rays.
Vaguely, it seemed to form a curved crescent-shaped glow, like the remaining moonlight after the heavenly dog's eclipse.
Within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, Li Che's Heavenly Soul intertwined and took shape, his eyes flashing.
His heart stirred, as if filled with excitement.
"It seems... there's a chance?"
"Maybe, I can really capture the Kunlun Mirror? As I capture more and more Kunlun Death Rays, will they eventually gather into a complete Kunlun Mirror?"
"No, it should be said that the Kunlun Mirror reflects a complete radiance?"
"At that time, can I follow this connection and draw down the Kunlun Mirror, truly... pluck the Sun's Radiance?"
Li Che's heart surged with excitement.
A Three Pure Ones rank divine armament, an ultimate temptation for anyone.
The Great Jing Imperial Family, isn't it all for this Three Pure Ones Divine Armament, so they hosted the Peach Competition?
However, Li Che couldn't be sure if he could truly pick the peach and really collect the Kunlun Mirror into his own pocket.
The difficulty is indeed not small.
Not only is there pressure from the Great Jing Imperial Family, but also the pressure brought by the Kunlun Mirror, a Three Pure Ones Divine Armament in itself.
Boom!
Even though Li Che's Heaven Emulating Earth Mimicry has transformed, the Heaven-Earth Chessboard has grown significantly. However, Li Che's divine cultivation hasn't had a major breakthrough.
With a sound like the sun's radiance, everything seems to melt away. Even with the integration of the Three Divine Embryos' Heavenly Soul, you serve as a diligent weaver, using the Kunlun Death Ray as your thread, weaving a sweater-like garment.
Boom!
The Seven Orifices' delicate heartbeat moves, and in an instant, a hazy divinity surges forth, nourishing the damaged and collapsed Heavenly Soul, reshaping it anew.
A fierce wind rises, rustling the leaves of the many Seven Thousand-Year Peach trees in the orchard.
Li Che suddenly opens his eyes, slowly stands up, his black robe fluttering, and his jet-black hair strands whistle through the air, emitting a booming sound.
"The Hero Competition's third round has begun... The winners should have also arrived in the Peach Orchard."
Li Che's mind moves slightly, and the next moment, the Heaven-Earth Chessboard captures everything within the orchard.
In an instant, the situation within the orchard is completely captured.
And from the fierce second round, three people emerge, also revealing themselves in Li Che's perception.
This doesn't come as a surprise to Li Che.
"As expected, it's them. It's not strange, considering their overall strength. These three are indeed stronger..."
"However, for the True Martial Divine Sect's three heroes to lose, that's a bit unexpected."
Li Che ponders.
In his perception, the Golden Furred Dog, Jialuo Monk, and Jade Guanyin's figures appear, unable to hide.
With the Sage of Chess' Dao Fruit transformation completed, the Heaven-Earth Chessboard undergoes a transformation and grows.
Now, Li Che's perception becomes even sharper, covering the entire Peach Orchard, making the paths of these three extremely clear in his perception.
