Chapter 396: The Supervisor is not the Buddha, Nor am I the Heaven-Defying One, Protecting My Daughter Requires Standing at the Peak of the Three Realms 【Seeking Monthly Votes】 (Part 1)
Crack! Crack!
The vast sky was covered in dark clouds, and rain poured down.
Amidst the oppressive black clouds, spring thunder roared and rolled, like an electric net exploding and intertwining.
Hailstones, the size of beans, fell from the sky, growing larger in people's pupils before smashing onto the ground and shattering into pieces.
The Emperor stood in the Divine Capital's First City, within the Majestic Imperial Palace Temple.
His bright yellow robe fluttered in the wind, and the sleeves whipped the air, causing it to burst.
On his face, divine essence and vital energy rapidly converged and intertwined, making his aura incredibly powerful.
The entire First City seemed to come alive at this moment, with thick mist slowly rising from the white jade tiles, but as soon as it rose, it was absorbed by the intricate array patterns carved on the city walls.
This Divine Seal Array was obviously created by a Divine Array Master, and the technique was extremely profound, as it seemed to absorb the rising mysterious mist.
Divine Talismans, Divine Armaments, Divine Cranes, and Divine Pills were the four main professions recognized by the cultivation world, all related to divine essence cultivation.
Divine Arrays, however, were a bit more niche.
The profession of Divine Array Master was related to all four professions. Divine Talismans could be used as the primary means of array deployment, and Divine Armaments and Divine Cranes could also serve as array plates. Divine Pills could also be used in a similar manner.
Due to this inclusivity, many divine essence experts believed that Divine Array Masters were not on par with the masters of the four main professions.
Yet, within the First City, there was an array created by a Divine Array Master.
The Emperor's eyes shone brightly as he looked up at the sky, where the dark clouds loomed, but they couldn't affect his mood.
He brushed off his bright yellow robe, sat cross-legged, and the enigmatic mist rose, only to be absorbed by the divine array.
The entire Imperial Palace Temple was clear and serene.
Suddenly, the divine array activated, and countless rumbling sounds seemed to reverberate. The falling raindrops from the sky evaporated and twisted into white mist.
The Emperor strode forward, heading towards the magnificent palace.
He stepped on the white jade platform, crossed the jade railing, and entered the magnificent palace.
The palace seemed to be painted with colorful pigments, depicting various patterns. After the divine array was activated, vague and blurry figures of immortal gods appeared on the walls.
Some had angry eyes, some smiled, some stroked their beards, and some squinted...
Each figure had a different posture, as if a powerful force capable of influencing the Heaven-Earth Soul of the great gods was constantly impacting them, making people feel dizzy and disoriented.
The Emperor entered the magnificent palace.
He saw the surrounding scenes changing.
Then, he noticed the dragon throne above the palace, which suddenly transformed and disappeared. In its place, a towering Divine Crane, so tall that its top was not visible, seemed to replace the throne.
It was the Queen Mother of the West Enigmatic Temple's Divine Crane, wearing luxurious robes and sitting majestically behind a table filled with stacked peaches.
Although the Divine Crane sat still, it was incredibly tall, and as it looked up, its top seemed shrouded in divine energy.
If Li Che were here, he would surely be astonished.
The Emperor was currently standing in the location of the Enigmatic Temple.
The Enigmatic Temple's location was unknown, even to the three ancient noble families of the Divine Capital, high-ranking officials, princes and princesses, and the sect masters of various divine sects.
The Emperor slowly stepped into the hall, as if walking on a path of endless light, like a starry river.
He approached the Divine Crane of the Enigmatic Temple.
This Divine Crane was over a hundred feet tall, exquisitely crafted, and lifelike, more like a true Queen Mother of the West sitting majestically than a sculpture.
However, the Emperor's face, intertwined with divine essence and vital energy, looked beyond the Divine Crane to the figure behind it.
In a daze, he seemed to see a more majestic and towering shadow sitting behind the Divine Crane of the Enigmatic Temple, as if seated high in the clouds, receiving the worship of countless gods and immortals.
"Heavenly Emperor..."
The Emperor's eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance!
He clenched his fist, and the divine essence and vital energy on his face seemed to waver, slowly shaking, revealing his inner turmoil.
In the distance...
Soft footsteps echoed.
The Emperor turned and saw a stunning and enchanting girl walking out from behind the Divine Crane of the Enigmatic Temple.
Her long, slender legs, as white as jade, were revealed beneath her robe, reflecting the light. Her enchanting eyes seemed to ensnare people with just a glance, making their blood boil.
The Emperor's turbulent emotions gradually calmed.
He smiled and said, "My love, you're here."
"The Temple Deity Resonance Ceremony is complete. Next, I should receive the resonance inheritance and gift from the Temple Deity."
"Behind this Enigmatic Temple of the Queen Mother of the West, there's a higher Heavenly Emperor Shrine, which might be an Enigmatic Temple above the Three Purities rank... Is the news you brought me reliable?"
The Emperor asked with a smile.
The enchanting girl swayed her hips as she approached, leaning gently into the Emperor's embrace, her eyes sparkling.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the news I bring is definitely true..." The young girl giggled, her voice as sweet as a yellow oriole's song.
The Emperor exhaled.
A mysterious temple of the Three Purities rank...
What level of enigma would such a temple be? At the very least, the highest-ranked enigmatic temple within the Grand Jing borders is merely a Three Purities temple.
Moreover, there are only a few Three Purities temples, and they can be counted on one's fingers.
"Heavenly Emperor?"
"The ruler of all gods and immortals?!"
The Emperor's eyes lit up with intensity.
Only those who are emperors have the qualifications to inherit the Heavenly Emperor's legacy. In this realm, who could be more suitable to inherit the temple's legacy than the current Emperor?
He had been unaware that the back door of the Queen Mother of the West's enigmatic temple was connected to another temple...
But then this girl, Su Da, arrived, bringing news that revealed this secret to him.
Even the secrets that the Grand Jing's founding ancestor had not discovered were now known to him.
Although the Emperor was aware that Su Da was likely a temple deity's reincarnation, and that there might be a purpose behind her news, what did it matter?
The information she brought was enough.
A deep rumble echoed.
Suddenly, the enigmatic temple began to shake.
The Emperor's spirit soared, and he looked up, sitting cross-legged with his arms spread wide.
The Imperial Consort, Su Da, took a step forward with her alluring long legs, her tongue flicking out as she watched the seated Emperor with a seductive gaze.
The rumbling continued...
The tremors persisted for a long time.
A faint divine essence descended and flowed into the Emperor's body.
It was as if it was just a shudder.
Then, the shaking temple returned to stillness.
The Emperor opened his eyes, surprised: "Is it over already?"
The Imperial Consort, Su Da, standing in the distance, was also stunned.
She seemed perplexed and dazed.
The Emperor had followed the ritual Su Da provided to complete the temple deity resonance, and it was impossible for him to gain so little.
At the very least, he should have obtained a Gathering Immortal Banner. Together with the two Gathering Immortal Banners, the Gathering Azure Banner and the Gathering Earth Banner, obtained by the Grand Jing's founding ancestor in the Queen Mother of the West's enigmatic temple and the Mysterious Tower, they would have had three banners!
Although they were still five banners short of the complete eight Gathering Immortal Banners, they could still activate the Heaven and Earth Sun Kunlun Mirror and obtain clues to the temple deity resonance of the Heavenly Emperor's enigmatic temple!
The Emperor stood up, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
He turned to look at Su Da.
Su Da shrugged and adorably tilted her head.
"Your Majesty... perhaps you need to bring out a Gathering Immortal Banner?"
Su Da offered a suggestion.
The Emperor looked at Su Da intently and then slowly exhaled.
A Heaven and Earth Jade appeared in his hand, and a beam of light shot out, tearing through the void.
With his fingers spread wide, a palm-sized banner flew out.
A deep hum resonated.
Immense divine power surged from the banner.
Su Da stared at the banner and saw the ancient characters on it spelling out the word "Azure."
The Gathering Azure Banner!
The Emperor presented the banner, and as he formed a seal with his hands, the temple began to shake once more.
A deep rumble echoed, more intense than before.
The Emperor even felt the banner trembling, its fluttering fabric creating a loud rustling sound.
A look of joy appeared in the Emperor's eyes! He had sensed it!
Another Gathering Immortal Banner!
However...
Slowly, the vibrations from the Gathering Azure Banner subsided.
The entire temple fell silent once more.
This time, there wasn't even a reward of divine essence.
Confusion filled Su Da's beautiful, fox-like eyes, and she blinked, guessing something.
The Emperor turned to look at her, his eyes cold and ruthless.
He had followed the ritual Su Da provided to complete the temple deity resonance, and it was as if he had completely lost face as the Emperor.
He had not obtained a Gathering Immortal Banner.
Nor had he obtained the Heaven and Earth Sun Kunlun Mirror.
As for clues about the Heavenly Emperor's enigmatic temple, there was not even a hint!
He felt like a fool, having performed a ridiculous solo act.
"Beloved Consort..."
"You said... where is my Gathering Immortal Banner?"
Su Da extended her slender tongue, her fox-like eyes narrowing seductively.
"Your Majesty..."
"The Gathering Immortal Banner... is there a possibility that someone else has already obtained it?"
...
...
A torrential downpour fell from the sky, crashing onto the Grand Canal's surface.
A thunderous roar erupted from the turbulent waters of the Grand Canal, and as the waves crashed, they shattered into countless sprays of mist.
At the Ninth District's wharf in the Divine Capital.
A figure appeared, twisting like a black line, slowly untangling into a neat and tidy human form.
The black robe fluttered in the wind, and the black hair strands whipped through the air like lightning, smashing and shattering the raindrops into mist.
Li Che wore the Netherworld King's mask, half black and half white, and his body seemed to float as he descended, as if carried by the water droplets infused with his aura.
The river surged with waves.
Li Che clenched his fist around the Thunderbolt Chess Piece, and in an instant, he teleported from the Second District of the Divine Capital to the wharf outside the Ninth District.
It was just a blink of an eye.
Looking out, the storm raged.
A dense, heavy black abyss descended, like a raging, chaotic beast with its mouth wide open.
But Li Che's attention was not on this.
The giant hand woven from countless black clouds, like a mountain range, approached with terrifying force, causing the raindrops to explode in mid-air, shrouding the mountain in a white mist!
The five-fingered mountain range seemed to emit an intense roar, piercing everyone's eardrums!
It was the Grand Guardian's move, and at this moment, it was pursuing Li Che with incredible speed, as if it had locked onto his position.
Underneath the King's mask, Li Che's expression revealed a hint of surprise.
This power, akin to locking onto his very breath, was somewhat intriguing.
"Five-Finger Mountain?" Li Che smiled.
The Grand Guardian stood upright, and to unravel the entanglement with the Grand Jing Imperial family, he played his role thoroughly.
However...
The Grand Guardian, you are not the Buddha himself.
And Li Che, he is not the Monkey King.
Li Che's toes touched down on the wharf, but instead of unleashing a terrifying force to crush the entire wharf, he simply landed without causing any destruction.
There was no need for such a display at his current level; his control over power had long been at his whim.
In an instant, he propelled himself forward, using the recoil from his landing, and crashed into the Grand Canal, which was being lashed by spring rain.
The boats docked on the Grand Canal bobbed up and down.
The waves battered them, making it impossible to control their movement.
Li Che's figure landed on the surface of the Grand Canal, moving as if walking on solid ground. His body, agile as a kite, soared swiftly.
The martial arts he had cultivated in the past, when unleashed now, exuded a power far beyond the ordinary.
The true martial arts of the Martial Saint, in an instant, transformed into a swift stream of light, racing towards the distant Grand Canal.
It was as if a submarine had torn through the Grand Canal, unleashing a thunderous surge of water.
Behind the waves, an enormous black cloud loomed, forming a five-fingered mountain, chasing across the sky. The scene was dazzling, but few could truly witness it.
Li Che strode across the Grand Canal, riding the waves, as if soaring through the heavens, unfettered, like a fish leaping in the vast ocean.
His vital energy roared, golden-like pure martial energy surging, and with a single release, he moved as fast as a golden lightning bolt!
In the Divine Capital Second City.
The Grand Guardian stood suspended in the air, and the space around him seemed to solidify, as if a mist of divine white fog veiled his face, revealing a curious expression.
His five fingers spread wide, aiming at the vast sky, and he slowly pressed forward.
Two auras intertwined in his eyes, as if he held a white chess piece, and with a shift, he had teleported to the Netherworld King over a hundred li away.
