Chapter 420: The Former Flying Thunder City's Martial Saint's Fourth Opening, Today's Summit View of All Mountains (Part 1)
The falling snow was silent, gently drifting down and settling on the trees already covered in a blanket of white.
The world was enveloped in a white haze, as if all signs of life had been erased.
Xixi squatted under a big tree, her eyes brimming with tears.
She had been strong enough on her own, but when Yun E and the others appeared, Xixi's grievances overwhelmed her.
She had tried her best, but in the end, she couldn't save the children in the Ascension Pavilion.
Facing a Martial Saint, and that tricky and hard-to-deal-with odd Temple Deity, Xixi felt her own powerlessness.
"No wonder you... Xixi, don't blame yourself."
"They won't blame you either. If they blame anyone, it will be those who sold them off."
Yun E gently patted Xixi's back, her voice incredibly soft, and seeing Xixi like this, she truly felt heartache.
Jin Taishui and Zhou Peng also hurried over, removing their masks and sighing softly as they looked at Xixi with a hint of anger.
Especially Jin Taishui, who clenched and unclenched his fists, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Let's go... It seems there's some commotion in Guangling Dao City, with many powerful cultivators searching for Xixi's whereabouts. We might have been exposed."
Zhou Peng said.
He took out a hot steamed bun and handed it to Xixi, "Have a bun and cheer up, then we'll continue on our way."
"Don't take things too seriously. That's how the world is. We can only do what we can, and if we can't do something, it's not our fault."
"If we have to blame someone, we can only blame this world, and that's all."
Zhou Peng said with a hearty laugh, seeing things clearly.
Xixi stood up, nodded, and quickly adjusted her mindset. Although she was only seven years old, she was more mature than many children.
Perhaps this was an advantage brought by her innate talent for cultivation.
"The Martial Saint in the Ascension Pavilion had once appeared in Qianyuan Dao City and even participated in the competition for the opportunity of the Two-Hearted Great Sage with my father..."
Xixi wiped away her tears and said.
"Remember him, Xixi Emperor!"
Xixi crossed her arms, puffed out her little belly, and her eyes flashed with anger.
Yun E's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she thought, "You're talking about the Martial Saint Elder of Tiandan Divine Sect, Gu Chuan?"
Because only Gu Chuan fit Xixi's description.
Xixi gritted her teeth, "Yes, it's him. He's a Martial Saint... I'm not strong enough to defeat him yet, but when I grow stronger, he'll be the first one I'll kill."
"Doing such heinous acts, he deserves to be punished!"
"Using children as medicinal ingredients, refining pills with them... Tiandan Divine Sect isn't a good sect either!"
Xixi angrily stomped her foot.
Yun E shook her head and sighed softly.
"Before I embarked on this journey, the Grand Ancestor personally told me that there aren't many good sects in this world."
"For example, Xiaolingyin Temple in Xiling Dao uses young girls' skulls as materials for crafting artifacts, and they also use countless commoners' bones to build a bone pagoda for cultivating the afterlife Buddha..."
"There's also the Haoran Academy in Jiangnan Dao. The so-called 'Haoran' only benefits the privileged in Jiangnan Dao. These scholars talk about righteousness, but they impose endless taxes on the poor and beat them like animals. Even after death, they are still exploited..."
"There's also the Bashu Sword Pavilion, the Purple Mansion Divine Sect of the Heavenly Master Dao... The Grand Ancestor told me that they all have their dark secrets."
"As for Guangling Dao's Tiandan Divine Sect, the Grand Ancestor said that before they were granted the title of Divine Sect, they were known as the Celestial Poison Pill Sect."
Yun E spoke softly.
Her tone was somewhat heavy.
"So, in this world, the most miserable are always the commoners at the bottom."
"Unless you can display divine nature or have innate talent for cultivation, it's hard to say if you'll grow up safely."
Yun E sighed softly, and Zhou Peng, hearing this, couldn't help but feel a sense of resignation, slowing down his eating of the steamed bun.
Jin Taishui, however, didn't feel much about it.
He had grown up in Wushen Mountain, fighting his way out like a wild beast.
If he didn't kill, if he didn't fight, he would die.
Others had to step on the bones of others to climb out of that terrifying place."
Only by surviving to the end could one receive the blessings and gifts of the Great Wushen.
"Xixi, Uncle Li sent us out to experience the world, mainly to let us see the darkness in this world and learn to protect ourselves."
"If we can save someone, we will. If we can't, then let it go. Our abilities are limited, and the world is vast, with darkness everywhere... There are many we can't save."
"So, you really don't need to blame yourself."
Yun E rubbed Xixi's head gently and said softly.
Hearing this, Xixi felt much better.
She knew Yun E was telling the truth. Having just left Qianyuan Dao City and witnessed a corner of darkness in Guangling Dao, she already had some understanding.
Not to mention the existence of the Corpse God Sect, a heretical cult, in this world.
Even the former Qianyuan Dao City faced the encroachment of the Corpse God Sect, and there were also major factions like towering mountains oppressing the commoners.
Xixi took a deep breath.
She naturally understood the truth, and Xixi wasn't a fool. It was just that she couldn't contain her anger.
She took a deep look in the direction of Guangling Dao City, "Hmph! I'll be back. When I return, I'll make that Gu Chuan pay!"
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from within Guangling Dao City.
The falling snow in the sky kept exploding!
"Go!"
"They're catching up!"
Xixi's eyes narrowed, and her mind stirred.
The Hell Lotus Firewheel Golden Light Wheel under her feet began to spin at high speed, clanging and cracking without pause. The air surged and intertwined, and sparks flew as if the air itself was being torn and wrinkled.
An invisible wave of air enveloped the group, lifting them into the sky, and they sped across the snowy ground.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Inside Guangling Dao City, the sound of breaking through the air kept ringing out.
Powerful heavenly senses and heavenly souls spread and expanded.
It was clear that a Martial Saint and a Divine Embryo had been dispatched to search and capture Xixi.
Boom!
Gu Chuan, dressed in a pill refining master's robe, stood with his hands behind his back, his entire body exuding a terrifying Martial Saint aura that seemed to melt the snow.
Beside Gu Chuan was a slender figure in a fluttering robe, also narrowing his eyes.
Under the leaden clouds,
Their eyes were sharp like eagles, carefully scanning the snow-covered plains below.
However, the falling snow was too thick, and the light was dim in the dense forest, hiding many things.
However, the Heaven-Earth Dao Soul of a Martial Saint and a Divine Embryo was so powerful that it was like a carpet search, leaving no stone unturned.
"Qianyuan's Young Master Li Nuanxi... A true monster, I never expected her to appear in Guangling Dao City..."
"Her signature is too obvious, the Hell Lotus Firewheel Golden Light Wheel. There's no one else in this world who could have obtained it."
"Back then, our sect's Gu He went to compete for the position of Lu Taibai's personal disciple, but was defeated and suppressed by her. It's clear that this little girl's talent is terrifyingly high."
"If we could capture such a girl, extract her essence blood for refining pills, and offer it to the Grand Patriarch, perhaps... He would surely appreciate such a genius elixir!"
Gu Changqing's face couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
The news of the death of the Sect Master Gu Changqing in the battle against Qianyuan Dao City had already reached Tiandan Divine Sect...
If Gu Changqing could please the Grand Patriarch, perhaps he would have a chance to compete for the position of Sect Master.
Of course, the chances are slim...
But one must have dreams; without dreams, one might as well be a salted fish!
"She's really good at hiding... She must have received the true teachings of the Netherworld. The Netherworld is incredibly mysterious, with its strange teleportation techniques and powerful concealment methods..."
"Search carefully, don't let her escape."
"Such a fat piece of meat that comes to us, we must savor it well."
Gu Changqing let out a cold laugh.
Separating from the Divine Embryo, he began his search.
Boom! Gu Changqing's figure landed on the snowy ground, and his powerful Heaven-Earth Dao Soul continued to expand and search.
"Found her!"
Gu Changqing could still feel the lingering heat in the air.
"Hell Lotus Firewheel Golden Light Wheel..."
"What a fine divine weapon."
Gu Changqing took a deep breath.
With a single step, he descended.
Boom!!!
In an instant, the entire snowy ground collapsed, and countless layers of snow tumbled down.
Gu Changqing's body was engulfed in raging Martial Saint Yuan Gang, resembling an enraged dragon roaring in fury.
The next moment, he burst forth with explosive force.
From the sky above, it seemed as if the earth was torn apart, creating a massive chasm.
Ferocious and fierce, like a raging beast.
...
...
Gurgle, gurgle...
On the stove, boiling water bubbled, and emerald green tea leaves danced within.
Li Che sat in his chair, his eyes slightly narrowed.
In the image, he saw Xixi hugging her legs, crying pitifully and heartbroken. When had this little girl ever cried so sorrowfully? As a father, how could he bear to see such a scene?
Xixi had a kind heart, but the world was often filled with helplessness, and no one could save everything.
The purpose of this trial was for Xixi to gain experience and maturity.
Perhaps this setback would help Xixi grow.
Li Che thought it was a good thing.
"Martial Saint Gu Changqing..."
Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly.
This was a First Opening Martial Saint, a Human Elixir Realm Martial Saint.
During the opportunity of the Two Hearts Great Sage, he had indeed competed with Li Che, but Li Che, with his average talent, had never noticed him and never considered him a rival.
"The pursuit of a Martial Saint..."
"Xixi, how will you respond?"
Li Che sat in his chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and split his attention, quietly observing through the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
Even Li Che had never experienced being pursued by a First Opening Martial Saint.
Because Li Che had always been the one to take the initiative.
With a mask on, he would kill without hesitation, even a First Opening Martial Saint.
Li Che divided his attention, focusing on Xixi's escape from the pursuit of a First Opening Martial Saint.
Meanwhile, Li Che himself began to challenge the Fourth Opening Martial Saint Realm!
With the help of fourth-grade Heavenly Martial Pills, the blood qi grew rapidly under the assistance of the pills. Now, on the Martial Dao Summit, Li Che had already climbed to the peak.
During this period, Li Che had remained patient.
Gradually accumulating the increase in blood qi.
He was also cultivating a formidable aura, understanding that achieving the Fourth Opening would not be easy.
His path was much more challenging than others. He wanted to stand at the summit not only because of his lofty ambitions but also because of the obstacles he faced.
Reaching the summit required more effort than others.
The Pure Martial path was inherently difficult.
And Li Che was walking an extreme path of martial arts.
Ten Thousand Feet Golden Pool of Blood Qi, Ten Thousand Feet Martial Dao Summit! To achieve the pinnacle, one must pay a price, but the rewards would be bountiful.
"Heaven-Aspiring City... is about to open."
"This time, Heaven-Aspiring City will attract more powerful cultivators than expected."
Li Che's eyes sparkled.
Upon learning that Heaven-Aspiring City was located at the junction of the Inner Deception Quarters and Earth Abyss, Li Che realized that its opening would become the focus of the entire world.
It wouldn't just be the highlight of the Great Jing Kingdom! Divine Tribulation cultivators would surely flock there, and after five hundred years of closure, no one knew what treasures had been born within the mysterious temple.
Divine Crystals were a given, and there would also be Dao Essence Divine Crystals...
And the Heaven-Aspiring City inheritance would not be lacking!
Li Che spread his five fingers, and a broken mask fell into his hand.
It was the same mask that had collected two sides but remained incomplete.
"The final side of Heaven-Aspiring City's mask is likely located within the city itself. Therefore, I must go there."
Boom!
Outside Qianyuan Dao City.
The Heaven Earth Tablet floated high in the air, and space tore open, revealing black, crack-like blocks piling up.
A terrifying dragon roar shook the heavens and earth, causing souls to stiffen and blood to freeze.
The Old Dragon God, who had invaded Lu Qiankun's Small Mystic Realm, emerged from it with his robe fluttering and a powerful aura.
The Calamity Wheel on his back slowly disappeared.
"Well done, Lu Qiankun. You've got skills."
The Old Dragon God praised.
After leaving Lu Qiankun's Small Mystic Realm, he showed no signs of weakness, even after invading a Divine Tribulation Cultivator's Small Mystic Realm.
The atmosphere in Qianyuan Dao City instantly froze.
On the city tower, Han Qizhong and other generals guarding the city felt heavy-hearted.
This Old Dragon God was incredibly powerful! Could Qianyuan Divine Sect withstand him?
With the support of this Old Dragon God, the imperial army now had three Divine Tribulation Cultivators!
How is this battle to be fought? Even with the help of the Netherworld, how many Divine Tribulation Cultivators can the Netherworld hold back?
"Hahahahahaha—"
"Lu Qianyuan! The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect... Old Dragon, I've seen it, and I'm very satisfied. It's very suitable to be the clan land of my Dragon Deity lineage!"
"Enjoy the next little while at the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, because soon, the Heavenly Origin Dao City... will belong to my Dragon Deity lineage!"
The golden Dragon Armor on the Elder Dragon God's body clanged, and he laughed towards the sky, striding away on the waves.
He came and left with composure, leaving behind an incredibly heavy oppression!
Lu Qianyuan stood in the small mystic realm behind the Heaven Earth Tablet, his eyes cold and merciless.
"If you have the guts, come!"
"Not a single disciple of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect will be afraid or retreat!"
Lu Qianyuan's voice was vast, without a hint of timidity.
