Chapter 390: Conclusion! Father and Daughter, Unparalleled in the World, Emperor Grants Xi Xi Control Over the Peach Festival 【Seeking Monthly Votes】 (Part 1)
The Kunlun Death Ray, Li Che had been capturing since the time he was in the Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard.
Even in the Eternal Peach Orchard, he was unable to fully capture a complete moon disk, only forming a half-moon-like Kunlun Death Ray.
Li Che wasn't entirely sure if these Kunlun Death Rays could ripen this Eternal Peach.
However, he decided to ripen it first, and if it wasn't enough...
Li Che would continue capturing, after all, the choice to leave the Peach Orchard was in his hands, which meant he could stay in the orchard as long as he wanted.
Of course, Li Che wouldn't stay too long, even though this was an excellent place for cultivation.
Not only was the divinity here dense, but there was also an immense amount of heaven and earth essence energy, making it a better place for cultivation than the training house in the Heaven Divination Bureau's treasure tower.
The Divine Capital was filled with numerous enigmatic temples, making it a true blessed land, and the divinity here was extremely vast. However, compared to the Eternal Peach Orchard, there was still a significant gap.
"If it can't be ripened... then we'll come back next time..."
Li Che's glabella vibrated, and the Heaven-Earth Chessboard spread out, capturing the radiant light like a mirage, which then poured down onto the green peach.
For Li Che, who possessed the Thunderbolt Chess Piece, if he couldn't ripen the peach this time, he could always try again.
Since he had already been here, returning wouldn't be difficult.
Even though this place was located within the Queen Mother of the West's Enigmatic Temple and was a mysterious tower region of a Three Purities Enigmatic Temple, the Thunderbolt Chess Piece was a derivative ability of the Sage Chess Fruit, even considered a conceptual power. Where the Thunderbolt Chess Piece was, the will of the people followed!
When Li Che first entered the Peach Orchard and stepped into the Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard, he had been quite low-key and hadn't made any big moves.
After all, the Peach Orchard was located within the mysterious tower of a Three Purities Enigmatic Temple, so Li Che had to remain low-key.
However, as the Hero Competition progressed, Li Che, while concealing his martial cultivation, completed his conquest.
After reaching the Nine Thousand Year Peach Orchard and the Eternal Peach Orchard, Li Che gradually became more audacious.
Of course, his greatest confidence came from the Sage Chess Fruit after the Four Transformations.
The Heaven-Earth Chessboard's ability to conceal one's aura became even more powerful, and combined with the Dream Heavenly Master's illusory dream, it was almost unparalleled in hiding one's aura, perfectly concealing the scene that the Heavenly River Bracelet had spied on.
With this confidence, Li Che dared to pick all the Nine Thousand Year Peaches and even coveted the Eternal Peach.
In fact, his harvesting of the Nine Thousand Year Peaches was within the rules. He was preparing for his ascension to the Eternal Peach Orchard, and in the illusory dream constructed by the Dream Heavenly Master, the outside world, including the Crown Prince Consort and the Emperor, could only see Li Che picking three Nine Thousand Year Peaches.
As for where the remaining two Nine Thousand Year Peaches went, how could anyone know now that Li Che had ascended to the Eternal Peach Orchard?
Gurgle, gurgle—
Li Che's eyes opened and closed, and he could clearly sense the radiant light within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard being slowly absorbed by the green peach, which seemed to swell at a visible rate.
Li Che's eyes widened, "It's working!"
Now, Li Che no longer felt sorry for the Kunlun Death Ray, and he began to guide all of it into the peach to ripen it further.
This trip to the Eternal Peach Orchard was indeed worthwhile.
Not to mention the Divine Armament he had just obtained, the Gathering Immortal Banner, although it was just the yellow banner of the "Heavenly Yellow, Universal Chaos" Gathering Immortal Eight Banners.
But it was still a component of the Three Purities Divine Armament.
It gave Li Che the qualification and opportunity to gather the Three Purities Divine Armament, and the main attraction was the Gathering Immortal Banner's pull towards the Pure Heart Fruit.
The Thunderbolt Chess Piece gave Li Che the confidence to ascend to the Eternal Peach Orchard and see what was attracting the Pure Heart Fruit.
If it turned out to be a trap, and he couldn't dispel it, Li Che could use the Thunderbolt Chess Piece to escape.
This was why, from the moment he stepped into the Eternal Peach Orchard, Li Che had been holding the Thunderbolt Chess Piece in his palm.
Time passed by, moment by moment.
The Kunlun Death Ray within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard was slowly being drawn out, like a ball of yarn being knitted, gradually shrinking.
Boom—
Suddenly, Li Che opened his eyes.
He glanced at the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, and when he saw that only a dry Kunlun Death Ray remained, a twinge of pain flashed in his eyes.
The last Kunlun Death Ray wasn't transported anymore because it was enough.
The ripened Eternal Peach might have some flaws, but it was still better than being unripe. On the Eternal Peach Tree, the plump and large peach emitted a dense fragrance that condensed into a thick strand, attracting Li Che's mind.
"It's done!"
Li Che was delighted.
After ripening for so long, the peach was finally mature! The Heaven-Earth Soul instantly returned to his glabella, and Li Che sat on the ground. His body, which had been constantly transforming due to the consumption of the Nine Thousand Year Chi Dragon Blood Peach, gradually revived. As he stood up, the soft ground seemed to sink instantly.
Li Che's black hair danced wildly, and his spine, in that instant, seemed to transform into a great dragon that could pierce the heavens, filled with terrifying vitality and power! His arms stretched out, and every inch of his muscles was flawless, twisted like a braid, and each muscle fiber contained an extremely terrifying golden pure martial blood!
With 92% pure martial transformation, Li Che's body was even closer to the innate pure martial body!
The Heaven-Earth Chessboard shrank and hovered above Li Che's head.
Even though there was no sign of the Heaven River Bracelet's prying power within the Ten Thousand Year Peach Orchard, Li Che still used his Martial Dao cultivation to activate the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, shielding himself and blocking his presence and senses.
As his feet touched the ground, the air seemed to suppress a booming sound.
His entire body shot forward like a black-clad hunter, rushing towards the ripe Ten Thousand Year Peach he had nurtured.
The reason Li Che used his Martial Dao to pick this peach was, of course, due to the guardian beast of this Eternal Peach.
The guardian beast of the Nine Thousand Year Peach had already reached the Martial Dao Apex, and the guardian beast of the Eternal Peach...
Should be able to reach the top-tier Martial Dao Apex!
Boom!
As expected, the moment Li Che reached for the peach, a terrifyingly violent aura erupted, like a volcano that had been suppressed to the extreme, or a demon king that had just awakened!
An enormous white-haired giant ape appeared, its eyes filled with a mix of confusion from just waking up and raging fury.
It had just woken up due to the sudden ripening of the peach, and its rage... was because someone dared to pick its peach!
"Die!"
Its demonic energy soared into the sky, and the flowing light raged like a signal fire.
The white ape's body suddenly rose, resembling a giant dragon, as it clenched its enormous fists and smashed them down towards Li Che. The air beneath its fists was instantly crushed by the terrifying and pure force.
Li Che took a glance and his heart sank. Indeed, there was a guardian beast!
And it had indeed reached the top-tier Martial Dao Apex!
Li Che had once stayed at the Divine Sect's mountain gate with the Great Elder Fang Hanshu, reading, chatting, and cultivating.
The Great Elder Fang Hanshu had told Li Che about the situation deep within the Mysterious Tower.
In the present world, top-tier Martial Dao Apex and top-tier divine beings were rare, but in the depths of the Mysterious Tower, they were not uncommon.
The Mysterious Tower, a place that could help Divine Tribulation cultivators shield themselves from the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations, was not only home to the enigmatic temple's deity but also various cursed corpses, guardian beasts, and demons that had been corrupted by the deity's divinity.
And besides these...
There were also natives of the Mysterious Tower!
When Li Che first heard about this, his eyes narrowed and his heart trembled in shock.
The Great Elder Fang Hanshu smiled and told Li Che that the Mysterious Tower was actually a real world, perhaps even more advanced than the present world.
And now, seeing the white ape guarding the peach tree unleash its top-tier Martial Dao Apex power, Li Che became even more convinced of this.
Li Che's face turned golden as pure Martial Blood Qi surged through his body. His spine trembled, and the seven strange seeds within him exploded, shining like dazzling stars in the night sky.
Dragon Elephant Vajra!
He clenched his fist and punched forward.
A massive furnace with intricate dragon and elephant patterns appeared, emitting a terrifying force that clashed with the white ape guarding the peach.
Fist against fist—
The terrifying wind and waves rippled through the entire peach orchard, as if the trees themselves were holding their breath in awe. Countless dazzling lights shone, like the flames of an overturned furnace, illuminating the sky.
The white ape was shocked beyond words. It let out a scream and leaped back, retreating hundreds of meters in an instant. It jumped and landed on the farthest Eternal Peach tree, its body shaking as its fur stood on end.
As a top-tier demon king who had roamed the Mysterious Tower, it was highly sensitive to danger.
The human before it, who dared to pick the peach, gave it an immense sense of threat.
So strong!
Since this human was so powerful, the white ape decided to spare his audacious life.
The white ape let out a howl and shot forward, transforming into a white light that seemed to merge with the mysterious mist surrounding the peach orchard before disappearing.
Li Che hovered in the air, his golden hair flowing down to his waist like a cape, and his eyes glowing. His muscles bulged, exuding terrifying lines and power.
Seeing the white ape retreat after a single punch, Li Che remained silent for a moment.
He didn't bother chasing after the ape, as his goal was only to pick the peach. He didn't want to compete with a top-tier demon king who possessed top-tier Martial Dao Apex strength.
He walked on air, and the ground beneath his feet kept rising.
Spreading his five fingers, he reached for the Eternal Peach.
A crisp sound echoed.
The ripe peach he had nurtured fell into his hand, emitting an intensely sweet fragrance that almost softened one's bones.
Huff...
Every pore on Li Che's body seemed to open, absorbing the essence of the peach that permeated the Heaven-Earth Essence Energy. His blood boiled, and his Sea of Qi churned, unable to calm down.
"What a treasure!"
"A Ten Thousand Year Peach, a Heaven-Earth Marvel of the Three Purities realm!"
Li Che's breathing quickened.
Having just consumed the Nine Thousand Year Peach, he couldn't continue eating more peaches.
He brought his two fingers together, tearing through the air like a sword, and the Heaven-Earth space opened up. Li Che threw the peach into it.
Huff...
The Eternal Peach was picked and stored away.
The entire world seemed to quiet down, and the peach orchard became silent.
The wind blew, and the only sound was the rustling of the peach tree leaves.
"It's all over."
Li Che's golden blood slowly receded into his body's orifices, refining the energy of the Nine Thousand Year Peach, while the expanding Sea of Qi continued its slow transformation.
Li Che's body suddenly descended, and in an instant, a circle of golden flames seemed to burn around him, creating a clean area.
His aura was completely restrained, the golden light receded, and his blood energy returned to calmness.
Li Che's hands were tucked into his sleeves, his eyes glimmering, and he looked up, gazing through the gaps in the peach tree leaves at the mottled Kunlun Mirror's brilliance.
With the addition of a few cicada calls, this peach orchard would indeed be a unique vacation spot.
"Perhaps there are even older peach orchards, but the peaches from those orchards are probably only accessible to true ancient gods."
Li Che shook his head.
He didn't dwell on whether there were two or three million-year-old peach orchards.
That was already beyond his reach.
Looking up, he sensed the remaining Kunlun light in his Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
Suddenly, Li Che was slightly startled.
On the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, it seemed as if the Kunlun Mirror's light had burned out a crescent-shaped area.
Li Che's thoughts moved, and the Kunlun light from the heavens and earth continuously flowed into the crescent-shaped area, filling it.
"Since I've opened up the crescent-shaped area, this is the limit of the Kunlun Death Ray that I can capture... To expand the limit further, I need to continue capturing the first strand of death light from the Kunlun Mirror."
Li Che seemed to be deep in thought.
The next moment, a smile appeared on his lips.
The Heaven-Earth Soul sat on the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, soared into the sky, and approached the Heaven and Earth Sun Kunlun Mirror.
Unlike the Gathering Immortal Banner, this Heaven and Earth Sun Kunlun Mirror was a genuine Three Pure Divine Armament, and its rank was not even lower tier! Unable to take this Three Pure Divine Armament, Li Che did indeed feel a bit of regret.
However, on this trip to the ten thousand-year-old peach orchard, Li Che's harvest was already significant.
One must learn to be content.
This Kunlun Mirror...
He would come back for it later.
After completely filling the crescent-shaped area in the Heaven-Earth Chessboard with Kunlun light.
Li Che's black hair fluttered as he scanned the ten thousand-year-old peach orchard and left behind a Thunderbolt Chess Piece.
Then, his mind moved, as if grasping the divinity of the Queen Mother of the West's Enigmatic Temple.
His entire body seemed to twist like a spiral, and in an instant, he disappeared.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Li Che's departure did not cause any disturbance in the peach orchard.
The breeze was gentle, and the wind was not dry.
...
...
Dark clouds piled up in the sky, and electricity seemed to weave and roll within them. Thunder brewed, rumbling continuously.
Accompanied by a rolling thunder, the spring thunder, like branches and twigs, spread across the sky.
The second and third cities of the Divine Capital.
The unparalleled liveliness continued,
Even the spring rain, like beans, pouring down, couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the rivers and lakes cultivators.
Li Half-Saint entered the ten thousand-year-old peach orchard! Even the Heavenly River Bracelet, controlled by the Empress, couldn't capture the scenes within the ten thousand-year-old peach orchard. How could the various rivers and lakes cultivators not be curious about what benefits Li Half-Saint obtained in the legendary peach orchard?
