Chapter 387: Father and Daughter, Dual Champions of the Peach Festival, My Peach Orchard is Empty [Seeking Monthly Votes]



Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The cold, sharp spring breeze blew, and the night sky descended, shrouding the sun and moon, leaving only endless darkness.

Lead-colored clouds gathered in the wind, slowly piling up, hiding the moonlight from prying mortal eyes.

In the Second City of the Divine Capital.

On the White Jade Square.

The Heavenly River's jade comb, held by Li Che, tore through the river's waters, creating a dazzling waterfall. Within the water curtain, a scene unfolded, capturing everyone's attention.

The Hero Competition was nearing its climax, and everyone knew that the battle between the Golden Furred Dog and Li Che would determine the ultimate champion.

For only one person could obtain three peaches and advance to the fourth round.

And the fourth round was the Nine Thousand Year Peach Orchard, which meant... the winner of this round would be the true champion, eligible to enter the Nine Thousand Year Peach Orchard and pluck the Nine Thousand Year Peaches!

The Grand Jing cultivators were tense, none of them wanting the champion of this Peach Festival to be an outsider from the Witch Mountain above the Da Li Royal Court.

After all, Witch Mountain was a force to be reckoned with.

So, everyone held their breath as they watched Li Che face the formidable Golden Furred Dog.

However, when the battle truly commenced, everyone was astonished. Contrary to expectations, Li Che wasn't completely overwhelmed by the Golden Furred Dog. Instead, he mounted a counterattack using various means.

"That's... that's Zhang Xuanlei's Thunder Strike Peach Wood Sword, the First Hero of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect!"

"It seems so. I never imagined... that Li Half-Saint would have such prowess in the Thunder Sword Dao."

"How could you not expect it? Do you think the Master of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect is just for show? He is renowned for his sword skills and has earned the name 'Taibai Killing Star' through his swordplay!"

...

Exclamations of surprise filled the air.

On the water curtain of the Heavenly River, a scene unfolded—a battle so intense and terrifying that its shockwaves seemed endless. Everyone trembled, both physically and mentally.

Even the water curtain struggled to contain the scene, with droplets shaking and bursting, creating a mist that continuously revealed the battle.

The howling wind and deafening explosions reverberated like thunder, leaving everyone in awe.

This was the battle for the championship of the Hero Competition! A true battle of the Absolute Apex, a genuine fight between gods!

The cultivators from the Jianghu who had gathered in the Divine Capital were no weaklings in Martial Dao and Divinity, but at this moment, they could only tremble.

Li Che's techniques were awe-inspiring!

And the most thrilling part was his divine secret technique, which allowed him to control the Peach Wood Sword and pierce through the Golden Furred Dog's golden lion king form, severely injuring it!

Many had witnessed this sword technique before, when Li Che fought against Zhang Xuanlei.

But no one expected that even the Fourth Level Martial Saint, the Golden Furred Dog, couldn't defend against this sword strike!

What power did this sword hold?

When Li Che manipulated the divine mechanism beast and unleashed the same mechanism technique that Xi Xi had used to dominate the Dragon Hatchling Competition, the crowd gasped in awe.

The half-step apex divine mechanism beast, the Little Dragon King, opened its mouth and released a terrifying mechanism lotus bomb.

It was as if a world-ending lotus was blooming in the peach orchard, and a brilliant mushroom cloud rose.

Even through the water curtain, the crowd felt a world-ending aura.

"My father is invincible!"

Xi Xi stood at the edge of the White Jade Square, hands on her hips, her little belly protruding with pride and satisfaction.

The fireworks her father set off were far more spectacular than hers!

But Xi Xi also realized that her father had hidden something. He hadn't let her use such powerful fireworks...

As Xi Xi's thoughts wandered, exclamations of surprise filled the air, snapping her back to attention. She rubbed her big eyes and looked towards the water curtain.

Then...

The entire venue fell silent, as if struck by a heavy hammer, leaving everyone speechless.

A complete silence.

For within the water curtain, a scene was revealed.

The Jialuo Monk, who seemed to have brought the Western Buddha Land to life, suddenly surged forward, attempting to control the Golden Furred Dog.

If the Jialuo Monk succeeded in subjugating the Golden Furred Dog, Li Che would face two top-tier powerful heroes.

In that case, Li Half-Saint, who had been securely in the lead, might face a turn of events.

Although Li Half-Saint might not fear a two-on-one fight, after a grueling battle with the Golden Furred Dog that left both sides injured, having someone intervene and take away his hard-earned victory would undoubtedly deal a significant blow to his morale.

And then...

As everyone worried, they witnessed Li Che's overwhelming might as he suppressed and crushed the Jialuo Monk.

With a single flick of his finger, a dazzling thunderbolt sword pill penetrated the Jialuo Monk's forehead, exploding his head.

Blood mist sprayed, red and white, filling the air.

Both the Golden Furred Dog and the cultivators watching from the water curtain were stunned.

Was the Jialuo Monk foolish? Didn't he know to dodge?

He stood there, foolishly waiting for Li Half-Saint's sword pill to pierce his forehead and explode within his skull, shattering his life force.

At this moment, not only were the cultivators surprised, but even the sect masters of the various divine sects, the top-tier apex masters, and the great gods, all showed astonishment and doubt.

"Is this... the Divine Realm of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect?"

"The intertwined chessboard resembles the Divine Realm of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, formed with the aid of the Temple Deity's rank pressure and the projection of the Mysterious Temple... How could Li Che possibly possess such a technique?"

"Jialuo isn't avoiding it; he can't move. A terrifying pressure is oppressing his body, preventing him from controlling his own body, making him appear foolish."

...

The sect masters of the divine sects had experienced much and understood Jialuo's situation.

It was as if they were facing the divine tribulation realm's overwhelming pressure themselves.

Their reactions wouldn't be much better than Jialuo's at this moment.

The power of the divine tribulation realm cultivators was awe-inspiring and terrifying. Their might was so great that even the heavens and earth couldn't contain them, leading to the descent of calamities and disasters to expel them.

Despite Li Che's absolute inability to be a divine tribulation, why would a monk of Jialuo's cultivation level end up in such a situation?

Jialuo's cultivation was not weak either. Although he was crushed by the Golden Furred Dog, it was because Jialuo was plotting against the Golden Furred Dog. If they were to truly fight, Jialuo would have barely touched the Divine Embryo's fourth transformation...

However, at this level, Jialuo was like a Divine Embryo's first transformation in front of Li Che, and he was instantly killed in an instant.

Completely powerless, he was not even a match for a single move.

The sect master of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, Zhang Wuhuang, had his hair and beard flying in the wind, and the dusting brush in his hand was slightly rippling.

It was clear that the mood of the Grand Jing's first divine sect master was not as calm as his expression showed.

"Divine Realm?"

"Doesn't seem like it..."

"How does it seem like...the might of a Dao rank?"

"It's a pity, separated by the Heavenly River Bracelet, unable to sense it clearly."

At this moment.

Many powerful cultivators' eyes flashed, and their hearts couldn't help but be moved.

...

...

Within the Seven Thousand Year Peach Orchard.

The entire peach orchard was filled with billowing smoke and dust, and the ground was thoroughly turned over twice.

The soft soil was splashed, and then fell back down, and the frost-covered grass was already twisted and tangled.

The scorching dust floated in the distorted high-temperature ruins.

The restrictions on the peach trees were still shining.

The entire peach orchard was quiet, leaving only the howling wind, stirring up the smoke and dust, and rustling the leaves.

The Buddhist light on the Golden Furred Dog's body completely exploded, bursting into dust.

His eyes still held a sense of bewilderment and palpitations...

Too terrifying!

It was truly terrifying!

Even the unruly Golden Furred Dog felt like he had walked a circle in front of death.

Jialuo's future body of his third life was revived, plotting against him. From the Buddhist light imprint, it could be sensed that Jialuo's divine cultivation was not weaker than his Absolute Apex realm.

But...

He was instantly killed by Li Che!

The Golden Furred Dog felt a bit unreal.

You, Li Che, have this strength, but why did he, the Golden Furred Dog, fight with all his might, and fight to the point of being covered in wounds?

You, Li Che, have the strength to instantly kill Jialuo's monk, and you probably have the strength to instantly kill him, the Golden Furred Dog, too?

So, Li Half-Saint earlier...

Was he teasing a dog?!

The Golden Furred Dog mumbled for a while, and his golden fur drooped completely.

"I surrender..."

"I surrender."

"I'm willing to bet and accept defeat. This bet, I've lost."

Whoosh...

The wind blew past, stirring up the smoke and dust.

The Golden Furred Dog no longer suppressed his injuries, and a muffled hum came from his throat. A mouthful of crimson blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth, and the vivid color made his disheveled appearance even more apparent.

The flames in his eyes seemed to have completely subsided, and his gaze, filled with complexity, turned towards the young face with black hair fluttering in the wind, untainted by dust.

He was truly young.

The Golden Furred Dog was already in his forties, but Li Che... was only twenty-five years old, according to rumors. It was truly unbelievable that someone of his age could possess such formidable strength.

A moment of daze, and the Golden Furred Dog seemed to see the shadow of the Great Shaman God on Li Che's young and gentle face.

Just like the Great Shaman God in his youth, shrouded in mystery and immense power.

It was said that the Great Shaman God in his youth was incredibly powerful, even venturing deep into the Mysterious Temple, fighting within the ranks of the gods, and battling the powerful Temple Deity!

Perhaps, this young man before them would also reach such heights.

With this thought, the Golden Furred Dog completely conceded.

Perhaps, following this young man wouldn't be a bad idea?

The Golden Furred Dog had specifically investigated Li Che due to the matter of Jin Taishui. He knew of this youth who had almost created a legend.

Six years ago, he seemed to be an insignificant woodcarving laborer in a small town, struggling to survive in a tiny woodcarving shop that the Golden Furred Dog had barely heard of.

But in just six short years, Li Che's strength had grown from nothing to his current level, even defeating and suppressing the Great Shaman God's proud disciple from the Shaman God Mountain!

The Golden Furred Dog was actually quite satisfied with his cultivation speed. Even Jin Taishui, his brother, was not as fast as him, and many disciples on Shaman God Mountain were in awe of his cultivation speed.

But compared to Li Che, his cultivation speed... was truly shocking!

"I surrender, then it's settled."

Li Che smiled.

Then, Li Che calmly looked at the Golden Furred Dog.

The Golden Furred Dog's scalp went slightly numb, and he finally exhaled, "Master."

With these words, the Golden Furred Dog felt as if all his strength had been drained. The thoughts of humiliation, frustration, despair, and shame that had once filled his mind did not surge forth at this moment.

Perhaps it was because Li Che had instantly suppressed and killed Jialuo's monk with a flick of his finger, bringing a sense of awe.

This was the awe inspired by a powerful cultivator!

Of course, it was also because during the activation of the Heaven Overcoming Domain, Li Che's main target was Jialuo, but he did not avoid the Golden Furred Dog either.

Therefore, the Golden Furred Dog also felt the pressure of the domain. The heavenly might descended, suppressing Jialuo's cultivation to the same level as Li Che's Divine Embryo's first transformation...

This gave the Golden Furred Dog the illusion that his cultivation had plummeted.

Thus, the Golden Furred Dog obediently submitted.

To resist...

Would likely mean death!

He, the Golden Furred Dog, was straightforward and impulsive, but not stupid!

"Hmm, good boy."

Li Che laughed.

His mood instantly brightened.

Then, Li Che clenched his five fingers, and the Thunder Strike Peachwood Seven Star Sword that had pierced the Golden Furred Dog's shoulder was instantly drawn out, bringing with it a burst of flying dust.

"Master, I, the Golden Furred Dog, am willing to bet and accept defeat. Please accept my soul imprint."

The Golden Furred Dog raised his hand and touched his forehead. The next moment, a shining soul imprint floated out.

This was the condensation of the Golden Furred Dog's heavenly soul's origin.

Li Che's eyebrows rose in satisfaction with the Golden Furred Dog's attitude and self-awareness. This Golden Furred Dog... was indeed very straightforward, and together with Jin Taishui, they were indeed two straightforward brothers.

Jin Taishui was also willing to bet and accept defeat.

The Golden Furred Dog wasn't much different.

Li Che casually took the Golden Furred Dog's soul imprint and tossed it into the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.

With the soul imprint in Li Che's hand, it was as if the Golden Furred Dog's life and death were under Li Che's control. With a thought and a movement of his heart, Li Che could crush the soul imprint, destroying the Golden Furred Dog's soul and taking his life.

As the soul imprint was taken, a sense of loss and emptiness welled up in the Golden Furred Dog's heart.

But in front of Li Che, there was an added layer of physiological reverence.

"Master."

The Golden Furred Dog transformed into a human form, clasped his fists, and said.

"I still prefer your appearance as the Golden Lion King, that rebellious attitude, I appreciate it."

Li Che said.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Furred Dog was momentarily stunned. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and his body began to swell and transform. His golden mane flared up, and his entire body took on a golden hue, shimmering brightly.

Li Che’s third eye and his seven-orifice intricate heart throbbed slightly. Immediately, a clump of pure heart divinity flowed into the Golden Furred Dog’s body, instantly healing his wounds. The Celestial Cage Thunder Sword intent that was continuously destroying his internal organs also dissipated.

Golden Furred Dog: (⊙o⊙)！

What was that thing that took a stroll inside him?!

And… it felt so good! The speed at which his injuries healed accelerated tremendously, even surpassing the healing power of a Fourth Imperial Rank Heavenly Pill!

Because the Golden Furred Dog was well aware of how severe his injuries were!

That Celestial Thunder…

Damn, it was a force of the Three Calamities level! Although it was just a trace, it still tormented him to the point of madness. If not for maintaining his golden lion king’s rebellious demeanor and dignity, he would have been rolling on the ground long ago!

Li Che didn't have the intention of withholding the pure heart divinity. Since the Golden Furred Dog was already part of his group, Li Che didn’t mind giving him a taste of the good stuff.

"Master, more!"

The Golden Furred Dog shook his golden lion head, his mane trembled, and his two large copper bell eyes looked at Li Che with a hint of longing.

more.

Li Golden.

"

,,, of pure heart divinity. into the Golden Lion King’s..

of the Golden Lion King. to him more of.

With a light tap of his foot,, Li Che soared into the air, side-sitting on the the Lion King’s back, and and him his,, the rub the’s mane.

.

the soft lion mane.

Casually, some pure heartity to a few more Lion to to into of more his pure heart divinity to the Golden Lion King.

It must be remembered…

This pure heart divDivinity was something even the Black Tortoise King, the Great Supervisor’s extremely desired.

The Golden Lion King, possessing the bloodline of a demon emperor, could naturally feel the allure of the pure heart divinity!

"Roar~~~~"

The Golden Furred Dog let out a roar, which turned into a trembling sound by the end.

.

Comfortable!

This time, the Golden Furred Dog was thoroughly convinced.

No wonder his foolish younger brother didn’t want to return, even to the point of betraying the Great Shaman God. No, it wasn’t betrayal; that was adhering to the teachings teachings of the Great his’s Great to the core of the matter, he didn’t want to deceive others, he wanted to stay true to himself.

He, the Golden Furred Dog, was the same!

"Go ahead and take a look."

Li Che said.

The Golden Furred Dog took a step forward, walking through the ruins. With each step, a terrifying aura of the lion king was released.

Because he could also sense the slowly growing aura in the distance.

Bang—!!

Mud and sand exploded, and rocks flew.

A figure leaped out swiftly, gripping the Eight Ring Golden Staff, his face deathly pale, looking extremely terrible.

His red robe fluttered in the wind, the Jialuo Monk stared at Li Che, full of dread and solemnity!

Too terrifying…

That Divine Realm was like a demonic prison, making him feel utterly desperate!

It was as if he were facing a top-tier Apex being, a top-tier deity, bringingHowHow could this person be so strong?!

"Li Half-Saint!"

The Jialuo Monk let out a long breath and hurriedly shouted.

"I concede!"

The Jialuo Monk shouted loudly.

He only had one current form left, and if he were killed again, he would truly die here.

"Conceding should have the proper attitude, not just saying it."

Li Che said calmly.

With a thought, the Thunder Strike Peachwood Seven Star Sword floated up.

Zzz—!

Countless thunderbolts intertwined on the peachwood sword, and the seven stars on it lit up!

The Celestial Cage Thunder Sword was primed and ready!

Li Che realized that with the Thunder Strike Peach,, Peachwood Sword, Sword, strike this, hiswood, more than just the Law Heaven and div and only the Peachwood Seven Star Sword, the Celestial Thunder Body...

He could fully bring out the power of the Celestial Cage Thunder Sword.

The Jialuo Monk immediately understood and quickly took out a water-laden Peach from the Heaven Earth Jade.

He manipulated the peach with his mind and handed it to Li Che.

However…

After Li Che received the peach, the peachwood sword still intertwined with thunder, the dark thunder intertwining and striking, the air bursting with a scorched smell.

The Jialuo Monk was stunned, What else did he need?!

Suddenly.

T

.

Who said this Li Half-Saint was honest and straightforward?!

The Jialuo Monk took off his Heaven Earth Jade, full of heartache and despair.

If he could, he would immediately communicate with the divinity of the Queen Mother of the West and leave the Peach Grove.

But it was impossible.

Li Che’s Divine Realm blocked the path for him to exit through the divinity of the Queen Mother of the West.

In other words…

If Li Che wanted to kill him, he truly could kill him!

To save his life, the Jialuo Monk still handed over the Heaven Earth Jade to Li Che.

"Li Half-Saint, please accept this humble monk’s heartfelt offering." The Jialuo Monk said with a sincere smile.

Li Che didn’t hesitate, directly tearing open the Heaven Earth space and throwing the Heaven Earth Jade inside.

Then, he dispersed the Heaven Overcoming Domain.

TheJialuo Monk held the Eight Ring Golden Staff, raised his palm in a salute.

"Thank you."

Words fell.

The Jialuo Monk seemed like he didn’t want to stay a moment longer in the Peach Orchard, immediately communicating with the divinity of the Queen Mother,, the divinity of the Queen Mother of the West and left the the Peach Orchard.

.

Whoosh—

A gentle breeze blew.

Li Che sat cross-legged on the back of the Golden Lion King, as if sitting on a leather seat, it was indeed very comfortable.

With a thought, peaches began to float up one by one.

The peaches from theJialuo Monk, Jade Guanyin, and theGolden Furred Dog floated in front of Li Che.

Including Li his own peach.

Thus, the four Seven thousand year peaches were all gathered.

"Heh…"

"Even one extra."

"The Empress should not make me hand over this peach, right? She won’t let go of her pride. After all, I picked this peach with my own abilities." Li Che laughed, speaking loudly.

It caused theGolden Furred Dog below him to look puzzled.

The entire Peach Orchard was left with only them, servant and master. Could the extra seven thousand year peach be for him?

TheGolden Furred Dog immediately became excited.

Li Che seemed to understand theGolden Furred Dog’s thoughts.

He patted his head.

"Seven thousand year peach for a dog? Dream on!"

Golden Furred Dog: "……"

Then why shout so loudly and pretend?!

Li Che smiled, not explaining further, put away the extra Chi Long Blood Peach, and gathered theremaining three peaches.

An extra peach appeared, and Li Che had no qualms about putting it away; after all, no one would confiscate it.

However, this meant that there wasn't a single seven-thousand-year peach left in this Seven Thousand Year Peach Orchard.

Li Che felt a deep sense of regret.

He had originally planned to leave a Thunderbolt Chess Piece in this Seven Thousand Year Peach Orchard for future visits.

"Pity, I can't enter the six-thousand-year or eight-thousand-year peach orchards... I can't leave my precious Thunderbolt Chess Piece there."

Li Che sighed softly in his heart.

There seemed to be some rule preventing him from entering other peach orchards, though he didn't know the specifics.

However, Li Che was quite content with his current achievements.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A sound akin to the evening drum and morning bell suddenly rang out, as if an ancient deity deep within the peach orchard had struck a heavy ancient bell, sending out layers of intangible sound waves that spread throughout the dilapidated Seven Thousand Year Peach Orchard.

"Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's First Hero, Li Che, has successfully gathered three seven-thousand-year peaches, advancing to the fourth round of the Hero Competition, making him the champion of this Hero Competition!"

"He has successfully ascended to the Nine Thousand Year Peach Orchard!"

...

...

Sacred Capital Second City.

On the Jade Square.

Divinity intertwined, swirling like a dragon, and then transformed into the disheveled figure of Jialuo Monk.

Jialuo Monk staggered a couple of steps, stepping out of the Heaven Overcoming Domain. The compressed power returned, making him feel somewhat unaccustomed.

The surroundings were silent, and one after another, gazes shot over.

Jialuo Monk felt as if needles were pricking his back.

"Amitabha."

Jialuo Monk dusted off his robes. Losing two Dharma bodies was a great sorrow for him. More importantly, he didn't get a single peach and even lost his Heaven Earth Jade.

There was no way around it; having it taken as a trophy was only right. If Li Che had killed him, he would have taken the Heaven Earth Jade anyway.

"Poor monk's Heaven Earth Jade... isn't so easy to take."

Jialuo Monk took a deep breath.

His gaze then shifted to Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage in the Little Lingyin Temple Master Banquet Area.

He nodded slightly at the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage, who was momentarily stunned before reacting, smiling and nodding in return.

As soon as Jialuo Monk left the Jade Square and returned to the main banquet area, the entire square erupted in a brilliant cheer!

"Success, success!"

"The champion of the Hero Competition... is one of our Grand Jing cultivators!"

"Li Half-Saint is amazing, Li Half-Saint is truly invincible!"

"Li Half-Saint is the hero champion, and his daughter Li Nuanyi is the young dragon champion! In one peach competition, father and daughter take both championships! Heavenly Origin Divine Sect alone secures both championships! My goodness!"

...

The cheers echoed loudly, reverberating through the Second and Third Cities of the Sacred Capital.

The ones cheering in the Second City were undoubtedly the disciples of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, their faces flushed with excitement.

Xi Xi, with her hands on her hips and a protruding little belly, laughed heartily to the sky.

Her friends were also overwhelmed with excitement, rushing over in a frenzy. Even a serene girl like Yun E couldn't hide her excitement, joining Xi Xi and the other children of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect in celebrating on the Jade Square, under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The Heavenly River Curtain cascaded with water, splashing continuously, but it couldn't drown out the children's joyful laughter.

On the Jade Square, the heroes and young dragons from various divine sects watched this scene with complex and envious expressions.

One divine sect alone securing both the hero and young dragon championships, and both winners being a father and daughter!

Such a grand spectacle...

Was truly rare!

No, it had never happened before in the history of the peach competitions!

Ji Moling sat at the main banquet table, clad in black armor, his gaze deeply fixed on Xi Xi, lost in thought.

In the Lotus Pavilion, Layman National Master Xie Yunsen stroked his beard and smiled.

"Truly a remarkable Heavenly Origin Divine Sect... to gain such a father and daughter, they've hit the jackpot."

Lu Chi, on the other hand, watched the children, who were celebrating with Xi Xi, with a mix of loneliness and envy.

Unfortunately, he no longer had the right to join them.

In the main banquet area, the emperor and empress sat at their table. The empress, hearing Li Che's loud and clear voice from the Heavenly River Curtain, showed a faint look of bewilderment on her dignified face...

Her red lips trembled slightly as she murmured softly.

"Gone... all gone..."

"My Seven Thousand Year Peach Orchard has been emptied!"

The empress's face was dazed, her emotions fluctuating intensely.

The emperor, sensing something was amiss, also fell silent.

How could there be no peaches left in the Seven Thousand Year Peach Orchard?

The empress, who managed the peach orchard, would never do such a thing. Even for the peach competition, she would have estimated the number of peaches in advance...

"My empress, was there someone who stole the peaches?!"

The emperor asked sternly.

The empress snapped back to her senses, forcing a smile.

"Your Majesty..."

"Empress, don't be anxious. Use the Heavenly River Bracelet to review the events."

"If that doesn't work... during the temple deity resonance ceremony, try communicating with the deity of the Queen Mother of the West Temple to find out who had the audacity to steal the peaches from the Great Jing Imperial Family!"

The emperor said solemnly.

The empress's expression changed slightly.

Communicate with the deity of the Queen Mother of the West Temple?!

Indeed, they didn't know who stole the peaches...

But could the Queen Mother of the West not know?!

Just as the emperor and empress were pondering, another thunderous cheer erupted from inside and outside the Second and Third Cities of the Sacred Capital.

They couldn't help but cast their gaze toward the Heavenly River Curtain.

In the Heavenly River Curtain...

Li Che stepped on auspicious clouds.

He floated into the Nine Thousand Year Peach Orchard!

Seeing this ethereal scene, the empress's eyes narrowed, and a bold thought sprang to mind!

This person, with such an attitude...

Would the long-sealed Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard...

Open for him?!
