Chapter 409: Opening the Eighth Gate of the Eight Odd Gates, Dancing the Qilin, and Gathering the Wo
Chapter 409: Opening the Eighth Gate of the Eight Odd Gates, Dancing the Qilin, and Gathering the World's Qi in the Primordial Heaven 【Seeking Monthly Votes】 (Part 2)
The Golden Fanged Dog felt...
...a feeling similar to facing the Great Witch God on Witch God Mountain.
How could this be possible?!
Boom!
The Golden Lion King instantly lay down, symbolizing submission.
Whoosh—
The night deepened, and Li Che's eyebrows furrowed as the demonic energy reached its peak.
Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Fruit (Lv. 1, 90%)
It was almost on the verge of transforming to Lv. 2, not because the Golden Fanged Dog's demonic energy was insufficient, but because he was not of pure demon blood, merely possessing demon lineage. The transformed Demon King's demonic energy was limited.
"And there are four more great demons like the Golden Fanged Dog..."
Li Che's eyes gleamed faintly.
Not far away, eight hundred li away, in the imperial army's encampment, the Dragon God Clan's Dragon God Prince, along with three Dragon Sons capable of forming half-Dragon God shadows, were also considered great demons.
"Let's wait until nightfall and go take a look."
Li Che emerged from seclusion, but news of Lu Tai Bai's seclusion also arrived.
Currently, the entire Divine Sect was managed by Fang Han Shu, who was handling various matters to keep things running smoothly.
Upon learning of Li Che's emergence, Fang Han Shu quickly put down his work and hurried over to the courtyard.
"A-Che, are those resources useful to you? Do you need to continue collecting them?"
When Fang Han Shu first saw Li Che, for some reason, his hair stood on end.
A scholar's intuition told him that Li Che was not to be trifled with at this moment.
Because Li Che might become unreasonable.
"They're useful. Continue collecting. As for the amount of Divine Essence Crystals needed for purchase, let me know. I can exchange them with my Saint Hand Divine Falcon."
Li Che said.
"Grandmaster originally wanted to call you to meet him, but since you were in seclusion, he returned to his slumber..."
"There's no news from Xie Yun Shen either, but the imperial army is stationed outside, like a sword hanging over our heads, making it difficult to rest or eat in peace."
Fang Han Shu shook his head.
Scholars hated being threatened with a sword.
"In the large camp, eagles constantly fly by, clearly conveying messages and seeking aid..."
"Fortunately, there's some good news. The Dragon Tiger Sect's Grandmaster Zhao Bei Dou, having torn through the void and returned, my spy saw him when he returned to the camp, and he seemed to have been injured by a calamity..."
"As for Gu Qian Chi of Bashu Sword Pavilion, there's not much movement.
"Fang Han Shu informed Li Che about the situation."
At the mention of Zhao Bei Dou, Li Che's eyes lit up like a million light bulbs.
"Zhao Bei Dou... was he seriously injured?"
Fang Han Shu couldn't help but twitch his lips at the sudden brightness in Li Che's eyes.
"Of course not... it's not that serious, but although he managed to avoid the calamity, he probably still suffered some minor injuries."
Li Che felt a twinge of regret upon hearing this.
He planned to thoroughly investigate using the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
"Xie Yun Shen has temporarily retreated eight hundred li away, but he will definitely return with reinforcements... The Heavenly Origin Grandmaster is facing two Divine Tribulations, which is no easy task. If Xie Yun Shen invites another Divine Tribulation, we might not be able to withstand it."
Fang Han Shu sighed.
This was also the reason why Lu Tai Bai felt immense pressure and went into seclusion, striving to break through to the Half-Martial Deity Realm.
Time was not on their side.
Time waits for no one! Li Che's gaze turned solemn. "Indeed, the ruthlessness of the Grand Master Shen of Dajing, Xie Yun Shen, who holds the power of the Imperial Tutor, is such that he might invite more than one Divine Tribulation. It seems he has gained considerable authority from the Emperor and is determined to crush us!"
"For instance, the Dragon God Clan might send a Divine Tribulation Cultivator."
Fang Han Shu nodded, "The Dragon God Clan indeed has an ancient Dragon God nearing the end of his lifespan, their last pillar of support. If they are invited, it would mean the Dragon God Clan is fully committed."
Fang Han Shu looked at Li Che, his scholarly robe billowing in the wind, eyes glinting with a cold intent.
"So... I have an idea."
"Please, Elder."
"A Che, you are familiar with the Netherworld. Do you think you can convince the Netherworld Fiends to assassinate Xie Yun Shen?"
Li Che looked at Fang Han Shu with a mix of surprise and suspicion.
Fang Han Shu's scholarly robe bulged, his beard flying in the wind, as he smiled, "As for me, I will try to invite a Hunter God Assassin from the Hunter God Pavilion..."
"I will do my best to contact the top-tier Hunter God Assassin in the Hunter God Pavilion. If we can secure their help, combined with the Netherworld's stealthy assassination techniques, there should be a chance of success."
Fang Han Shu's words made Li Che feel a sense of camaraderie.
Wait... Hunter God Assassin?!
"Hunter God Assassin?"
Li Che was perplexed.
"Isn't the strongest assassin in the Hunter God Pavilion the Hunter King? Like our Sect Leader..."
Fang Han Shu smiled lightly, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.
"A Che, the origins of the Hunter God Pavilion are far greater than you might imagine. The Hunter King only hunts mortals, but the Hunter God can even kill gods."
Fang Han Shu took a deep breath.
"However, assassinating Xie Yun Shen won't be easy. Despite not knowing why Tian Can Di Que betrayed us, Xie Yun Shen, as the commander and backbone of the imperial army's mountain-crushing expedition, will undoubtedly be guarded by a Divine Tribulation Cultivator."
"The Grandmasters of the Dragon Tiger Sect, Zhao Bei Dou, and the Bashu Sword Pavilion, Gu Qian Chi, are both Divine Tribulation Cultivators at the One Calamity and One Tribulation Realm. Our Grandmaster is at the One Calamity and Two Tribulations Realm, and while he can handle two opponents in the Deceptive Pavilion, in the mortal realm, the threat of the Heavenly Earth Soul's Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations would prevent the Divine Tribulation Cultivator from going all out."
"Therefore, although our Grandmaster has the strength to take on two opponents, he would still be restrained."
"If our Grandmaster were at the One Calamity and Three Tribulations Realm, he could naturally suppress them."
Li Che's heart stirred upon hearing this.
This was the first time he learned about the realm divisions among Divine Tribulation Cultivators.
"What about Martial Deities? Are they also divided like this?"
Li Che asked.
Fang Han Shu glanced at Li Che and nodded, "Martial Deities are actually a fusion of martial arts and divine nature, a leap in the Divine Martial Path. In fact, once you reach the Divine Tribulation Realm, the distinction isn't significant, and they are also unwelcome in the mortal realm. Thus, they too must cross the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations."
"However, Divine Tribulation Cultivators expand their inner space to create a Minor Inner World."
"Martial Deities, on the other hand, expand and transform their dantian, forming a martial arts phenomenon in the void. This phenomenon can exist in the void, and Martial Deities, carrying this phenomenon, can escape into the void to avoid tribulations. In reality, there isn't much difference between this and the Minor Inner World of Divine Tribulation Cultivators."
Fang Han Shu noticed Li Che's curiosity and offered a few more explanations.
Martial Deities possess heavenly phenomena, and Divine Tribulation Cultivators transform their inner space into a Minor Inner World...
"Regardless of whether it's a Martial Deity or a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, strengthening the heavenly phenomena or the Minor Inner World requires Dao Essence... the essence of the Great Dao. It is the foundation for creating heavenly phenomena and Minor Inner Worlds!"
"Without sufficient Dao Essence, the probability of tribulation failure is high, and Martial Deities and Divine Tribulation Cultivators might even regress."
"Do you know why the opening of Heaven Spanning City caused such a stir? It's not just because of the Heaven Spanning Divine Sect's inheritance, but also because... Heaven Spanning City is located at the junction of the Deceptive Heaven and Earthly Mysterious Quirk. After investigation by a Divine Tribulation Cultivator, it was discovered that the Heaven Spanning Mysterious Temple is situated right at this junction."
"There must be a vast amount of Dao Essence Crystal within the city..."
"That's why numerous Demon Kings from the Demon Race invaded Heaven Spanning City, to seize the opportunity and obtain the Dao Essence Crystal during the city's opening, in order to ascend to the rank of Demon Deities!"
Fang Han Shu was well-read and had a deep understanding of the world's affairs.
Li Che listened intently, his eyes now fully bright and alert.
Heaven Spanning City, located at the junction of the Deceptive Heaven and Earthly Mysterious Quirk!
Hiding a vast amount of Dao Essence Crystal?!
The key to Huang Jianjiu's transformation into a Temple God lies in obtaining this Dao Essence Crystal!
If there are enough Dao Essence Crystals...
Huang Jianjiu, as the Temple God, will undoubtedly be a great help to Li Che.
Moreover, Li Che is now cultivating the eighth Divine Seed of the Eight Odd Gates.
The Dao Essence Crystals are extremely important to him!
Fang Han Shu took a deep breath, his brows furrowing slightly, "If Xie Yun Shen really invites that Ancient Dragon God of the Dragon God Clan, it's actually a bit difficult and dangerous..."
"Why?" Li Che asked in confusion.
"Because that Ancient Dragon God, his time is almost up... Moreover, having lived for so long, having survived the First and Second Tribulations, he's on the same level as our Grandmaster."
"And an Ancient Dragon King nearing his end, compared to our Grandmaster... can be even more insane!"
Li Che instantly understood.
It's like a barefoot man not fearing one with shoes, to fight for the future of the Dragon God Clan? Li Che took a deep breath, feeling a sense of pressure welling up in his heart.
"So, if we can assassinate Xie Yun Shen, the commander, it should buy some time for the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect."
Fang Han Shu said.
"I'll contact the Netherworld to try."
Li Che thought for a moment and took out a Netherworld Spirit Communication Mirror, handing it to Fang Han Shu.
"Use this to contact them, and if the Netherworld takes action, they'll inform us through this."
Fang Han Shu didn't hesitate and took the Spirit Communication Mirror, his eyes revealing a strange light.
A variant of the Corpse God Sect's Thousand-Mile Spirit Communication Mirror?
The Netherworld and the Corpse God Sect... What's their connection? The more Fang Han Shu interacted with the Netherworld, the more he felt that the Netherworld was more like the power controlling death than the Corpse God Sect.
After chatting with Li Che for a while, Fang Han Shu was about to leave.
He was too busy.
Lu Tai Bai had shut himself in seclusion, so Fang Han Shu had to take care of these matters.
"Right..."
Fang Han Shu suddenly thought of something, his gaze sweeping over to Xi Xi, who was being instructed in physical cultivation by the Golden Fanged Dog in the distant courtyard.
"About Xi Xi's training..."
"Originally, I was against it. I think Xi Xi should read more books and gain some wisdom before going out to train..."
Xi Xi, who was practicing martial arts, suddenly felt a chill throughout her body, as if she had fallen into a demonic abyss.
What the heck—!!!
Xi Xi's ears twitched, and she looked over in fear.
Demon Lord, please be a human!
However, Fang Han Shu's tone suddenly changed.
"But now... I've changed my mind."
Fang Han Shu's tone suddenly turned heavy.
"We should prepare for the worst..."
"We need to leave a seed for the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect..."
Fang Han Shu said.
Li Che was taken aback, then fell silent.
Leave a seed...
In case the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect is destroyed? Indeed, facing the court's unwavering determination to destroy the sect, even Li Che, with his many skills, felt this immense pressure.
Not to mention the other members of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
That's why Fang Han Shu agreed to let Xi Xi go out to train, disguised and under a false identity.
"Alright."
Li Che thought for a moment, exhaled, and nodded.
His gaze flickered for a moment.
"When assassinating Xie Yun Shen... I'll arrange for Xi Xi to leave the sect for training. At that time, I'll send Xi Xi and the others off, which should avoid attracting the attention of the two Divine Tribulations in the court's army."
Li Che said.
Fang Han Shu looked at Li Che deeply, then glanced at Xi Xi in the distance.
"The court should have sensed something, so... they've started to gather the world's power, wanting to gather the world's fortune. The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect... won't be the first, and those Divine Sects cooperating with the court are just like tigers in sheep's clothing. In the end, they won't escape the fate of being destroyed."
"Do they think they can avoid the calamity of being destroyed by surrendering and submitting? It's unavoidable..."
"Even the Heaven Spanning Divine Sect couldn't escape, so what makes them think they can?"
Fang Han Shu chuckled, his gaze sweeping across the Grand Canal, his body floating away.
But the words he left behind caused Li Che's heart to tremble slightly.
Fang Han Shu seemed pessimistic about the fate of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Although the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect had achieved a great victory...
It wasn't enough!
"The fate of the Heaven Spanning Divine Sect?"
Li Che slowly exhaled...
His toes tapped.
Li Che's body shot up, hovering in the sky, bathed in the radiant sunlight, his body shimmering with golden light.
Standing in the void, he surveyed the surroundings.
The mountains were covered in snow, a picturesque scene.
In the courtyard, Xi Xi, Jin Taisui, Zhou Peng, Yun Eo, and other young companions were practicing martial arts and playing, laughing heartily. Zhang Ya was also diligently training with them, and her martial arts had improved significantly.
This sect had brought so much joy, protection, and growth to their family...
Could it really be destroyed?!
Fang Han Shu was pessimistic, Lu Tai Bai was indignant, and the Grandmaster seemed... helpless as well.
Li Che slowly extended his hand, his five fingers covering the vast sky and sun, the sunlight filtering through his fingers, casting a glow on his face.
The head of the family sought only stability, comfort, and peace.
The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect was doing well...
The trend of the times was like a tide, and for the court to gather the world's fortune, it had to destroy the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Since it was so...
Then let the world's fortune gather in the Heavenly Origin.
That's not impossible!
In front of his raised five fingers, a horse-faced mask appeared, which Li Che slowly placed over his face.
His fingers slid over the mask, his gaze rising.
Like the gaze of a falcon, piercing through the 800-li Grand Canal.
"So..."
"Grand Master, it's time to ascend."
The first chapter, it took a while to write this chapter, no rest, continue to write, there will be another chapter later, write early, seek monthly tickets, recommend tickets, seek followers, Old Li continues, thank you!
