Chapter 399: Xi Xi's Rebellion, Part 2: Family Conflict, My Precious Daughter is Seven Years Old [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 2)
By handing over the task of suppressing the Strange Temple to the Divine Sects, allowing them to govern themselves, Feng Zhiqi had become dissatisfied with the current court.
Although the court's power had weakened, it was still sufficient to support and protect the people from the erosion of the Strange Temple. Yet, the court had abandoned its responsibility and retracted its power, leaving the people to their fate.
Li Che had come from Feilei City, which had almost been completely destroyed. It was precisely because the court had withdrawn its forces that these cities, like Feilei City, had suffered greatly in recent years.
Many cities were not as fortunate as Feilei City.
The Corpse Deity Sect's subordinate sects, such as the Spirit Baby Sect, Ghost Mother Sect, and Joyful Union Sect, were like nightmares for ordinary people.
Only the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect held onto the principle of combating evil, insisting that the heretics of the Corpse Deity Sect must be eliminated. They saved one city after another.
This was why Feng Zhiqi was willing to give up the court and join the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
As Feng Zhiqi was deep in thought.
The crossing of the tribulation thunder gradually came to an end.
The rolling heavenly thunder did not pose much of a threat to Li Che, who possessed the Thunder Magnet Body. He was practically a natural lightning-resistant body. Even this time, with the Pure Martial Limit Heaven Thunder, which he had drawn due to the opening of the ten-thousand-foot Golden Sea, containing the Divine Sky Thunder, it was still easily endured by Li Che.
Buzzing—
Looking at Li Che, sitting halfway up the mountain, having completed the crossing of the heavenly thunder, he slowly opened his eyes, radiating an incredibly powerful divine aura.
Lu Tai Bai, Fang Hanshu, and Feng Zhiqi floated down to the large platform halfway up the mountain.
"Sect Master, Grand Elder..."
Li Che's ink-black robe fluttered, his breath restrained, his blood and energy hidden within, and the thunder had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the three approaching, he smiled and politely bowed.
"Congratulations, Li Half-Saint, for stepping into the Martial Saint realm!"
Feng Zhiqi congratulated him.
Feng Zhiqi had heard of Li Che's achievements in the Divine Capital.
Li Che had already broken through to the Divine Embryo and, with the help of the Divine Embryo secret technique, had dominated the Hero Assembly in the Divine Capital.
"Governor Feng has chosen to join us at the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, and from now on, he is one of us," Lu Tai Bai introduced.
Li Che's eyebrows rose, and his expression became even more gentle.
He understood Feng Zhiqi's decision.
After all, with the Heavenly Origin and Majestic Imperial Palace turning against each other, it was natural for them to want complete control over the Heavenly Origin City's forces, and the court's power would likely be restricted.
Of course, the Heavenly Mandate Supervision was an exception, as it had always been closely aligned with the Heavenly Origin City.
The three chatted with Li Che for a while, and then Lu Tai Bai and Li Che returned to Tai Bai Peak, while Fang Hanshu and Feng Zhiqi left the Divine Sect to gradually take control and manage the Divine Guard Army and the Temple Guardian Corps.
...
...
Lu Tai Bai and Li Che floated down to Tai Bai Peak.
On the large platform.
Xi Xi pouted, seemingly sulking, as she practiced martial arts with her friends Jin Tai Sui, Lu Qing Xuan, Zhou Peng, and Yun E.
In terms of combat power, Xi Xi, who had reached the Great Grandmaster and Divine Image realm, was undoubtedly the pride of the group. Although Xi Xi's Dragon Horn was obtained through a mechanism, it was undeniable that her combat power was unparalleled.
"Father!"
When Li Che and Lu Tai Bai returned.
Xi Xi was pouting, her face sullen as she practiced horse-riding stance, circulating her energy and blood to strengthen her physical body. Suddenly, she spotted Li Che, whom she hadn't seen for over a month!
Xi Xi's face instantly lit up with a radiant smile and joy.
All her unhappiness seemed to dissipate in an instant! She abandoned her friends, kicked off her shoes, and dashed towards Li Che.
Bang—
As she ran, sparks erupted from under Xi Xi's feet, spinning continuously and propelling her body like a cannonball, rapidly shooting forward.
"Daddy, I'm coming!"
Xi Xi's head, like a cannonball, collided straight ahead.
If it were Zhang Ya, she might have been knocked unconscious, so Xi Xi didn't dare play like this with her.
But with her mysterious and powerful father, Xi Xi had no reservations.
Then, Li Che grabbed her head, abruptly stopping her, and lifted her up.
Xi Xi, like a cat being picked up by the scruff of her neck, couldn't help but show a look of bewilderment on her face.
Her limbs began to flail uncontrollably.
"Stinky Daddy, does Xi Xi the Great not care about face?"
Xi Xi's face turned red in an instant.
Li Che burst into laughter, delighted by his lively daughter.
He hugged her, and Xi Xi instinctively wrapped her arms around Li Che's neck.
"Daddy, I miss you!"
Xi Xi rubbed her little face against Li Che's cheek.
Standing nearby, Lu Tai Bai watched the affectionate father and daughter with a hint of envy.
Fortunately, although he didn't have a daughter to cuddle, he still had his wife to snuggle with.
"Speak up, did you upset your mother again?" Li Che ruffled her hair and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xi Xi's face showed discontent, and her pouting lips could almost hold a teapot.
"Daddy, Master said that Xi Xi's cultivation is now sufficient for her to go out and gain experience."
"This is a rule set by our founder. Every young master of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect must go out to gain experience, travel through the vast world, and receive the baptism of the mortal realm..."
Xi Xi pouted, "But Mother won't let me!"
Xi Xi held back her words, tears welling up in her eyes, looking pitiful as if seeking Li Che's intervention.
Upon hearing this, Li Che instantly understood the main source of this second family conflict.
Lu Tai Bai, standing beside them, spoke up, "This is indeed a rule set by our founder. I went through the same process. Every young master must go out to gain experience, travel through the vast world, and comprehend the power of the mortal realm."
Li Che's eyebrows raised slightly, "The power of the mortal realm?"
Lu Tai Bai paused for a moment before explaining, "That's a unique secret technique of our Heavenly Origin Divine Sect. It can condense a Mortal Realm Seal, which can absorb the power of the mortal realm. Once the seal is filled, it will release and provide feedback to the cultivator, leading to a significant breakthrough in cultivation, at least breaking through one major realm."
"Usually, when the young masters of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect reach the Grand Guardian or Divine Yuan realm, they are sent to the Great Jing's eleven paths for their journey..."
"During this journey, as they accumulate the power of the mortal realm, once the young masters fill their Mortal Realm Seals, they return to the sect and receive the feedback, allowing them to break through to the Martial Saint or Divine Embryo realm."
"The journey is a form of cultivation."
Lu Tai Bai continued, "I didn't break through to the Martial Saint realm using the Mortal Realm Seal. I relied on my own abilities, but with its help, I created a three-thousand-zhang Golden Sea of Qi!"
He had overcome the constraints of the second and third stages of Martial Dao, reaching the fourth stage!
His journey through the mortal realm was like a process of ascending the Martial Dao.
"So... Xi Xi must also travel through the mortal realm?"
Li Che asked.
Lu Tai Bai nodded, "But Xi Xi is too young. We can wait until she grows up a bit more."
"Master! Xi Xi is not too young!" Xi Xi, who was hugging Li Che's neck, suddenly became anxious.
How could the master of the sect ruin her plans!
When she learned that she could go out to gain experience, Xi Xi was so excited that she couldn't sleep for three days.
Although Xi Xi would miss her father and mother, she wanted to become stronger.
This trip to the Divine Capital had also been a wake-up call for Xi Xi.
The importance of strength was deeply engraved in Xi Xi's mind. If it weren't for the appearance of the Netherworld King, they might have all been forced to stay in the Divine Capital.
Xi Xi might have even been forced to become a crown prince's consort...
That would have been terrible!
Li Che, understanding Xi Xi's thoughts, ruffled her hair.
He wasn't worried about Xi Xi's journey.
Because, no matter where Xi Xi went, as long as he left the Flying Thunder Chess Piece on her, her safety would be guaranteed.
Not to mention, were the Bound Deities he raised vegetarians?
Aside from the fact that Li Che now had more powerful Bound Deities, three more top-tier ones, even before, when Li Che secretly sent Yue Huang Long to protect Xi Xi, she was essentially safe.
"Gaining experience... that's not impossible. Xi Xi has received the Third Prince's inheritance, and she still needs two of the Third Prince's mythical weapons, the Immortal Lotus Heaven-Tying Silk and the Mystic Thunder Golden Body Heaven Earth Ring..."
"The Immortal Lotus Heaven-Tying Silk is located on the Ancestral Dragon Island of the Dragon Deity Clan, and the Mystic Thunder Golden Body Heaven Earth Ring was originally in the Dragon Spring Road, but it has now fallen into the hands of the Corpse Deity Sect..."
Li Che spoke softly.
Lu Tai Bai's eyes flickered slightly.
Apparently, Li Che seemed to favor letting Xi Xi go out to gain experience.
However, Li Che changed the topic, "But your mother is worried about you and wants you to wait until you're older. So, you should listen to her."
Li Che's words made Xi Xi feel extremely aggrieved, and she even started to throw a little tantrum.
Xi Xi had always been well-behaved and sensible.
But perhaps her stubbornness got the better of her, and she unhappily wriggled out of Li Che's embrace, crossed her arms, and turned away, leaving Li Che with only a view of her back.
"Daddy is also bad! Daddy only cares about Mother's feelings and doesn't care about Xi Xi's feelings!"
Xi Xi was unhappy.
The master had said that Xi Xi's current strength qualified her to go out and gain experience.
Xi Xi had even become the leader of the Peach Blossom Banquet's young dragon group, which was impressive!
"Is the little girl still sulking?"
Li Che couldn't help but laugh.
He held Xi Xi's head, turning the pouting girl around.
"Your mother doesn't want to let you go out to train because she's worried you'll suffer, get hurt, feel cold, or be wronged. She cares about you."
Li Che slowly squatted down and patted Xi Xi's head, speaking gently.
"Xi Xi wants to train and become stronger so she can protect her father and mother. We can't let them be wronged again like we were in the Divine Capital..."
"If Xi Xi is strong enough, we won't be wronged in the Divine Capital. Xi Xi can kill that emperor and put an end to the injustice..."
Li Che suddenly fell silent, as if he could see the rebellious spirit shining on Xi Xi's forehead.
"In that case, let's go together to convince your mother. After Xi Xi turns seven, we'll let her go out to train, okay?"
Li Che rubbed Xi Xi's rebellious spirit, speaking gently.
Upon hearing this, Xi Xi's tearful eyes suddenly brightened.
"Really?"
Li Che chuckled, "Do you think your father would lie to you?"
Xi Xi clenched her little fist, then crossed her arms and puffed out her happy little belly, "Xi Xi wants to grow up quickly. Xi Xi is almost seven years old!"
Then, as if remembering something, she hooked her little finger and slyly made a pinky promise with Li Che.
Xi Xi laughed and shook her head, which had two pigtails tied up.
Seven years old...
It seems to be coming soon.
...
...
The last rain of late spring arrived as promised, like a greeting between old friends.
The raindrops dripping from the black roof tiles fell to the ground, shattering into pieces, as if the passing years had been crushed.
Ever since Feng Zhiqi became the Fourth Elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, the Temple Guardian Corps and the Divine Guard Army of the Primordial Vortex City completely abandoned their resistance. Under Fang Hanshu's unyielding control, they were caught in his grasp, completely under his command.
Fang Hanshu personally trained the Divine Messengers and the Divine Guard Army of the Temple Guardian Corps.
Moreover, he tightened the rules of the Primordial Vortex City, requiring a general to personally inspect the Divine Guard Army every day.
All wandering cultivators entering and leaving the Primordial Vortex City had to register in detail before being allowed in, as the city was always prepared for war.
Not long after Li Che broke through to the third level of the Martial Saint realm, Li Qingshan, Nie Yang, and the Golden Fanged Kulu, among others, finally returned from the Divine Capital.
The Golden Fanged Kulu, having lost the bet, became Li Che's servant. Even without Li Che's command, he came from the Divine Capital.
With this, the Primordial Vortex City gained another powerful fighter.
A month later, as summer arrived, Hong Shi Fo returned from the Divine Capital with news that caused a huge uproar.
The Peach Blossom Banquet incident infuriated the Jing Emperor, who summoned the Plainclothes National Monk Xie Yunsen nine times to the first city of the Divine Capital for private discussions.
Finally, during a court session a month ago, the Jing Emperor bestowed a decree upon the National Monk, appointing him as an Imperial Envoy. He was tasked with gathering the strength of the Divine Sects and capturing the Netherworld Fugitive, Li Che, who had entered the Divine Capital, as well as punishing the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect for harboring the fugitive!
Additionally, the Jing Emperor sent an urgent decree to Jizhou, ordering the Chaos Suppressing Princess Mo Li to lead troops to Lingnan Road and assist the National Monk in questioning the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect!
The news brought by Hong Shi Fo instantly caused a huge uproar.
However, with the entire Primordial Vortex City under Fang Hanshu's control, no abnormalities occurred. All the major clans were summoned, and together with the disciples of the Divine Sects, they formed a large army.
Although the news of the expedition arrived, the court's actions were naturally not as swift.
Li Che's days returned to tranquility.
Xi Xi, on the other hand, was diligently cultivating, as if believing that the more she cultivated, the faster she would grow up.
Time passed, stained by the summer rain and autumn wind, as the sand grains slid through the hourglass, quietly slipping away.
Li Che's days during this period were relatively calm.
There were no changes due to his breakthrough in cultivation.
As the Fifth Elder of the Divine Eagle Ridge in the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, his days were fulfilling and disciplined. Every day, he practiced martial arts, absorbed the divine nature from the Temple of the Gods, taught his disciples the Divine Carving Skill, and carved the Demi-Saint Divine Carving.
During this time, Li Che also worked hard to refine the eighth Mysterious Gate Divine Seed, and the purity of his Pure Martial Body reached 96%, giving him the confidence to refine the final Mysterious Gate Divine Seed!
Practicing martial arts, refining the divine, and working with mechanisms, the days were fulfilling and beautiful.
As the summer cicadas hid in the trees, emitting their final shrill cries.
The autumn wind blew, withering ten thousand trees and rustling the red maple leaves, like dancing flames. After the leaves fell to the ground, the cold wind from the north arrived.
A snowflake, glittering as it tumbled, seemed like a crystal flower formed by the heavens and earth.
It fell upon the human world, piling up thick layers of snow.
Primordial Vortex City.
Disciple City, Elder Residence.
Li Che sat in the courtyard.
An invisible Martial Saint field seemed to form around him, blocking out the snowflakes and the cold air.
This terrifying field was unique to Martial Saints, constantly sensing the connection between heaven and humanity.
The Heaven-Earth Chessboard hung in the sky above.
Li Che's spine trembled as if seven small vortices were gathering and swirling, distorting the qi of heaven and earth.
Beneath these seven small vortices, Li Che's mental power pulled, and the terrifying golden qi continuously surged and clashed.
It seemed to be striving to condense into a vortex shape, forming the eighth vortex!
Refining the eighth Mysterious Gate Divine Seed!
Boom—
It was as if an invisible force in the heavens and earth was pounding downward.
The almost-formed qi vortex suddenly exploded.
Li Che, once again, failed to refine the divine seed.
He slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, the entire courtyard became deathly silent, with the wind stopping and the snow falling.
The Martial Saint field around Li Che slowly dissipated.
"Hoo—"
"It's still difficult."
"The eighth Mysterious Gate Divine Seed... it's truly challenging. Breaking free from the shackles and reaching the human body's limits is not tolerated by heaven and earth."
He sighed.
Li Che looked up.
The white snowflakes, after the Martial Saint field was removed, fell silently and beautifully.
A snowflake spun and landed in Li Che's palm.
Slowly, it melted into a drop of icy water.
A slight smile curved Li Che's lips.
In the midst of the snow, he seemed to see his initial anxiety and anticipation as a new father in the Flying Thunder City.
"My Xi Xi."
"She's seven years old."
