Chapter 396: The Supervisor is not the Buddha, Nor am I the Heaven-Defying One, Protecting My Daught
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 2)
"Impressive, this teleportation technique seems to draw upon the power of Dao Essence..."
"Quite intriguing."
The Grand Guardian smiled lightly, his white Dao robe fluttering like clouds, and as he spread his fingers, he gave a light flick, seemingly shattering the space before him and crashing into the void, creating a mesmerizing illusion.
To the onlookers, his arm seemed to have disappeared.
In the ruins of the White Jade Square.
Powerful figures from all sides gathered, their eyes filled with astonishment and curiosity.
Ji Moling, clad in black armor, gazed intently at the Grand Guardian, who shattered space with a casual gesture, as if crushing a soft piece of pastry.
At the very least, Ji Moling himself couldn't achieve such a feat.
Some were awe-struck by the Grand Guardian's strength, while others wondered if the Netherworld King could successfully escape.
Of course, there were also those who planned to sneak away quietly.
Li Qingshan pulled Mu Po along and called out to Li Chengzhou, and they headed out of the Divine Capital.
Nie Yang immediately understood, and with the members of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect captured by the Netherworld, it was likely they would return to the Primordial Vortex City. Staying in the Divine Capital held no meaning for them, so it was best to depart now.
Nie Yang possessed the strength of an Upper Supreme Master, and unless the Martial Saint intervened, he wouldn't encounter any trouble.
For Li Qingshan, returning to the Dao City with Mu Po from the Divine Capital was not a difficult task.
So, without hesitation, the four of them set out.
...
...
Boom!!!
A colossal shadow darkened the sky, and the rain droplets exploded, bringing a terrifying pressure akin to the end of the world.
Wearing the King's mask, Li Che took a step and saw the terrifying black cloud hand that seemed to compress space, rapidly chasing after him.
This black cloud hand didn't possess much lethal force, but it carried a Dao Essence power that clung like an incurable bone disease.
It was this Dao Essence power that constantly locked onto Li Che's figure.
For a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator, understanding the Dao Essence power was far beyond Li Che's comprehension.
And to master the Dao Essence meant a deep resonance with the Heaven-Earth Will, beginning to comprehend the essence of heaven and earth, and the ability to borrow the power of heaven and earth was the mark of a truly transcendent cultivator.
Bang, bang, bang!
With a few strides, Li Che crossed over a thousand zhang distance, creating enormous splashes on the Grand Canal.
He scanned the enormous hand that seemed to stack space, relentlessly pursuing him.
A hint of helplessness and frustration flashed across his face.
"Quite a nuisance."
Li Che shook his head, but then, a defiant look appeared in his eyes.
He raised his hand and touched his brow.
The Niwan Inner Vision roared.
With his body as the star, the Heaven-Earth Chessboard shot into the sky, instantly covering a thousand li.
The Heaven-Earth Chessboard, fully expanded, could reach a thousand li, and everything within this range was under Li Che's perception, though the expanded awareness was somewhat blurry.
But the level 6 Chess Sage Dao Fruit had undergone too much transformation.
And this transformation was the source of Li Che's confidence in escaping from the Divine Capital.
After killing Qing Long, Bai Hu, and Zhu Yang, Li Che had intended to retreat.
But with the intention of bringing Ji Moling along, Li Che made another move, forcing out Ji Moling's Dao Essence Tribulation Flame. And after taking a glance at the Emperor, he provoked an outburst of the Emperor's acting skills.
Then, the Grand Guardian emerged.
Everything happened too quickly.
Li Che exhaled slowly, his mind stirring.
His entire body directly teleported from the leftmost lower corner star position to the diagonal star position at the top right, spanning a distance of a thousand li.
This was a teleportation technique Li Che had developed himself, far superior to any movement skill.
It could be called a unique movement skill created by relying on the inherent characteristics of the Chess Sage Dao Fruit.
Chess Sage, Flying Star!
The Thunderbolt Chess Piece required a fallen chess piece as an anchor, while Flying Star... directly crossed the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, achieving a leap.
In his chest, the Chess Sage Dao Fruit pulsated.
Using Flying Star consecutively, teleporting three times in a row, spanning a distance of three thousand li.
In the sky, white clouds drifted, a serene azure expanse.
The sun hung high, casting its brilliance, making the calm flowing Grand Canal shimmer with ripples.
Suddenly, the tranquility was broken.
On the verdant surface of the Grand Canal, ripples spread in circles, and a figure wearing a black and white divided mask appeared, hands hidden in his sleeves.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
A gentle breeze blew over the river.
The ripples collided, shattering the wrinkles on the water's surface.
Li Che looked up, gazing at the sky, having teleported three thousand li away...
With such a great distance between them, could the Grand Guardian's palm strike still catch up? The strength of the Dao Essence was indeed extraordinary, almost like the force of heaven and earth, descending upon them.
But, with such a distance, the power of the Dao Essence should not be able to reach him, right?
Li Che exhaled slowly.
He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
Even with the reliance on the Chess Sage Dao Fruit and the power of Flying Star, consecutively teleporting three times across the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, spanning three thousand li, it was still an enormous consumption for Li Che.
It was a consumption on the soul level of heaven and earth.
If not for the Dao Guidance Seven Orifices Crystal Heart constantly trembling, restoring the consumed soul of heaven and earth, it would be truly difficult for Li Che to teleport three times in a row.
Twice was probably the limit.
He sat cross-legged on the river's surface.
On the calm river, ripples appeared.
Li Che wore the black and white divided Judge's Mask, as still as a virgin, not moving at all.
He was like a floating leaf on the river.
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
With one breath in and one breath out, his mind calmed.
Li Che closed his eyes slightly, waiting quietly.
...
...
Hum—
Li Che's black hair fluttered, and his ink-colored shirt billowed.
He slowly opened his eyes, and not far away, the space suddenly tore open.
A figure emerged from the dark, deep, and terrifying void filled with cutting power, walking out slowly.
It was none other than the Grand Guardian, a genuine Divine Tribulation Cultivator.
Li Che had been waiting for him.
As the Grand Guardian stepped out of the void, the Heaven-Earth Will once again keenly sensed, and with a rumble, black clouds piled up, as if a terrifying disaster was about to descend.
However, this time, the black clouds did not transform into the enormous Five-Finger Mountain, pressing down fiercely.
Li Che realized that the Grand Guardian's move had ended, and he had given up on suppressing him.
He acknowledged Li Che's exceptional ability to escape.
"Judge, such a movement skill, truly profound... Even within the Mysterious Tower, facing numerous Divine Tribulation Cultivators, you still have the ability to face them."
The Grand Guardian emerged, bathed in the spring breeze.
Looking at the Earth King sitting cross-legged on the river, he couldn't help but smile.
The Earth King... was indeed waiting for him.
The Grand Guardian felt that the Earth King before him might be an acquaintance.
"This old man's skills are lacking."
The Grand Guardian spoke gently, "I should thank the Earth King for giving this old man a chance to end the bond with the Majestic Imperial Court."
"Is the bond between the Grand Guardian and the Majestic Imperial Court very deep?"
Li Che, wearing the Judge's Mask, spoke with a hoarse voice.
"The bond with the Majestic Court's Founding Ancestor, as tested by the Heaven-Earth Will, if broken, will influence my Divine Tribulation's intensity."
The Grand Guardian did not hide anything, speaking truthfully.
(End of Chapter)
"Currently, the Heavenly Prognostic Token of the Second Prince and the Third Prince have already been used, while the tokens of the Crown Prince and the Youngest Prince remain in their possession."
Li Che nodded thoughtfully.
The Grand Guardian's figure landed on the surface of the Grand Canal, creating ripples on the water.
"The Heartfelt Golden Iron Rod is in your hands? If it truly is, you should visit the Heaven-Defying City in a year's time, or else you will lose the qualification to compete for the heritage of the Heaven-Defying Temple."
"At that time, the heritage of the Heaven-Defying Temple will be fought over by the Western Buddha Land and the Enigma Quagmire Demons. Once it falls into the hands of the Western Buddha Land, with their nature, the Central Lands will inevitably become a Ghostly Netherworld Buddhist Country, bringing suffering to all living beings."
The Grand Guardian sighed softly and spoke.
"Can the Western Buddha Land fight for the heritage of the Heaven-Defying Temple without the Heartfelt Golden Iron Rod...?"
Beneath the Judge's Mask, Li Che's voice was slightly hoarse.
The Grand Guardian's eyes gleamed faintly, "The Heaven-Defying Temple... is not the same. Within the Enigma Quagmire, the three factions of the divine camps all want to draw it in because the Heaven-Defying Temple is currently dormant. After its awakening, it may turn to any of the three factions..."
"The Heaven-Defying Temple can enter the Black Mount Meru, can enter the Dark Heavenly Court, and can even become the Temple Deity of the Enigma Shrine!"
The Grand Guardian explained.
Hearing this, Li Che's face, half-covered by the Judge's Mask, flickered with a faint glow.
"The Western Buddha Land possesses the Bodhimanda Vajra Tightening, while the Enigma Quagmire Demons, due to the origin of the Heaven-Defying Temple, and the Heartfelt Golden Iron Rod represents the Central Lands..."
"So, since you have obtained the Heartfelt Golden Iron Rod, I'd like to trouble you."
The Grand Guardian spoke, his face shrouded in white mist.
Li Che was puzzled, "Grand Guardian, as a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, can't you take action yourself?"
Hearing this, the Grand Guardian smiled lightly, "I... need to block some old and decayed things in the Enigma Quagmire."
The Grand Guardian did not explain further.
"The Enigma Quagmire is boundless and eternal. When you enter it to avoid tribulations, you will understand that the human realm is the only remaining pure land."
"Additionally, if you want to protect your daughter, besides making her stronger, you yourself must strive to become even more powerful, standing at the true pinnacle, becoming a giant among the factions, to be worthy of safeguarding your daughter's safety."
"The pinnacle of the human realm is not enough."
"Nor is the pinnacle of the Enigma Quagmire..."
"The pinnacle of the Netherworld..."
"Or, the pinnacle of the Three Realms..."
The Grand Guardian looked at Li Che, wearing the black and white mask, and spoke.
These words completely revealed Li Che's identity.
After that, nothing more was said.
Because above the sky, a terrifying pressure descended.
Li Che looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly.
There was the rolling Heaven's Apex Thunder, the howling God Annihilation Wind, and the Netherworld Fire transforming into a fire dragon soaring across the sky! The Triple Calamities!
What's going on here?!
Li Che took a deep breath, wondering what kind of Divine Tribulation Cultivator the Grand Guardian was to make him feel such overwhelming pressure, even his internal vital energy seemed to quiet down.
Meanwhile, the Grand Guardian's body began to slowly transform into mist.
"The Great Calamity... the Disaster Star appears, and the fates will be exhausted."
"The Great Calamity can be extinguished, but... the common people are innocent..."
In front of Li Che, the Grand Guardian completely dissipated into dust and vanished.
On the Grand Canal.
The emerald green water rippled gently.
Only the Grand Guardian's voice lingered in the air...
Li Che stood on the water's surface, unperturbed.
His eyes became profoundly deep.
No one knew how long he had been lost in thought.
Suddenly, Li Che's spirit stirred slightly. He raised his hand to touch his forehead and felt the Heaven-Earth Chessboard tremble.
He saw the Pure Heart Fruit, obtained from the Ten Thousand Year Peach Garden, which had absorbed the enigmatic energy and fallen into silence, now trembling slightly, its flag fluttering.
Li Che was startled.
Within the Niwan Inner Vision.
The Seven Orifices Crystal Heart beat faintly, and Li Che felt a mysterious connection form between his spirit and the Immortal Gathering Yellow Flag.
Then, on the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, a scene appeared.
It was the scene of the Emperor, before the enigmatic Temple Deity Divine Sculpture, offering the Immortal Gathering Azure Flag.
Li Che was amazed.
Because he had not left a Thunderbolt Chess Piece on the Emperor.
But now, he could see the scene through the Heaven-Earth Chessboard...
So...
Was this the resonance of the Immortal Gathering Banner?
Li Che's expression became slightly odd.
So, the Emperor had staged this Temple Deity Resonance with the Immortal Gathering Banner to gather the Immortal Gathering Banner?
Or, was it to gather the Immortal Gathering Eight Banners? However, if the Emperor possessed multiple Immortal Gathering Banners, truly gathering the Eight Banners, it would be truly extraordinary.
"The Emperor has the Immortal Gathering Banner..."
Li Che narrowed his eyes.
"That's quite a coincidence, as your name has been added to the Book of Life and Death. So, your Immortal Gathering Banner... is my Immortal Gathering Banner?"
Suddenly.
Li Che's spirit withdrew from the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
Rustle, rustle...
The sound of flowing water breaking the silence.
Looking up, they saw the peaceful surface of the Grand Canal, with the river flowing eastward.
There was a bamboo raft slowly drifting.
On the raft.
A white-clad figure sat quietly, holding a rolled-up cigarette.
By his side.
A large black dog lay.
