Chapter 448: The Resonance of the Temple Gods in Qitian Weird Temple, Feeding the Dao Fruit to the T
Chapter 448: The Resonance of the Temple Gods in Qitian Weird Temple, Feeding the Dao Fruit to the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (Part 1)
The Fighting Lotus Demon Saint Qitian Weird Temple!
His eyebrows trembled, revealing the flesh beneath.
Stellar Gaze shone from within, emitting a dazzling golden light as if peering into the deepest secrets of heaven and earth.
The radiant light seemed to reveal a figure trapped within, struggling, roaring, and howling.
A torrent of demonic energy swept through, an endless surge of divine essence, and a vast flow of Dao essence!
All kinds of strangeness burst forth!
Li Che sat cross-legged on the Flying Sword, his robust hair flying wildly, like black lightning. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and his eyes revealed a peculiar expression.
The Li Che of today was no longer the same as when he first left Flying Thunder City.
The Western Queen Mother's San Qing Weird Temple in the Divine Capital was a place Li Che had seen and even ventured into. He had explored it, obtained the Ten Thousand Year Old Pantao, gained immense benefits, and transformed himself.
However, this was the first time he had witnessed a San Qing-ranked Weird Temple with his own eyes.
After all, the Western Queen Mother's Weird Temple had been concealed by the imperial court, making it impossible to locate its true position. But the Qitian Weird Temple was different.
It was not concealed at all; it stood proudly on the vast land, with demonic energy, divine essence, and Dao essence constantly emanating from this ancient city.
"This is Qitian City!"
On the Flying Sword, it wasn't just Li Che who was astonished.
Xixi, Yun'e, Zhou Peng, and the other little ones were also seeing this ancient city for the first time, and they felt an incredibly oppressive pressure wash over them.
It was as if their very souls were experiencing an unprecedented shock.
Xixi's Damnosa Lotus Divine Pattern between her eyebrows trembled incessantly, and her eyes shone brighter than ever.
Yun'e, sitting beside her, pursed her lips, while Zhou Peng sat on the Flying Sword, sighing softly.
Although they had transformed into Bound Deities, Li Che did not control them. He allowed the two little ones to act freely, so the transformed Yun'e and Zhou Peng were even more relaxed and free, more like humans than before.
If it were in the past, Zhou Peng would have struggled to control his emotions at this moment. The emotions of the Temple God would have influenced him, even causing him to reveal his true form, unable to control himself.
But now, although the Temple God's residual power still affected him, causing ripples and fluctuations in his heart, he was no longer tainted by the Temple God.
"Qitian..."
Zhou Peng murmured softly.
Lu Qiankun, Lu Taibai, and Fang Hanchu were clearly not seeing Qitian City for the first time.
They had all come to this famous city in the world to train long ago.
"The Qitian Temple, fully named as the Fighting Lotus Demon Saint Qitian Weird Temple, is a San Qing Weird Temple. In its heyday, it supported the Qitian Temple, a Divine Sect, and almost occupied half of the world..."
"At that time, the Qitian Temple had more than one Divine Tribulation guarding it. Rumors even spoke of a Two Tribulations Realm Divine Tribulation Supreme being seated within the temple's Diguique, making it truly glorious for a time."
Lu Qiankun stroked his beard and sighed. As someone who had lived through that era, his eyes held a complex expression.
Back then, the Qianyuan God Clan had not yet been established, and even if it had, it would have been insignificant compared to the Qitian Temple.
Li Che couldn't help but turn to Lu Qiankun, asking curiously, "Master, why did the Qitian Temple fall into decline?"
"With so many powerful beings guarding it, why did it suddenly decline? Logically, with the presence of the Two Tribulations Divine Tribulation, even with their lifespan, living for several thousand years should not be a problem..."
Lu Qiankun shook his head. "I'm not sure, but most powerful beings believe that the decline of the Qitian Temple is related to the Diguique. Compared to the Diguique... the present world is truly too weak."
Lu Qiankun exhaled, "Within the Diguique, in the Neiguique, some divine essence-tainted demons, some Temple God's protective temple cursed corpses, have even reached the Divine Tribulation Realm. Not to mention some powerful Temple God's protective temple cursed corpse kings..."
"Even if the Qitian Temple is powerful, facing the Diguique, it is still weak... The Qitian Temple is merely a Divine Sect built alongside the Fighting Lotus Demon Saint Qitian Weird Temple. If the Diguique were to revolt, even the most powerful Divine Sect might not withstand it."
Lu Qiankun sat on the Flying Sword, his robes fluttering in the wind.
"Therefore, many powerful beings, after reaching a certain level of strength, directly face the profound and terrifying nature of the Diguique. Only then do they understand... that strength in the present world is not true strength. Only strength within the Diguique is genuine."
"Of course, the Heavenly Will in the present world is terrifying. Even the Two Tribulations and Three Tribulations Divine Tribulation Supremes dare not defy the Heavenly Will and set foot in it. This is the last barrier of the present world."
Upon hearing this, Li Che's heart stirred, and he raised his head. "The last barrier of the present world?"
To many cultivators, the power of Heavenly Will's tribulations was a restriction. Many Divine Tribulation cultivators hated and feared the Three Disasters and Nine Trials, like snakes and scorpions.
But in Master's words, was the Three Disasters and Nine Trials created by the Heavenly Will the last barrier of the present world?
Lu Qiankun nodded. "Some people see clearly, while others do not..."
"If not for the Three Disasters and Nine Trials... the many Weird Temples in the present world would be unrestricted, and the Temple Gods could roam the human realm at will..."
"Although the Temple Gods are fallen gods, if they truly roam the earth at will, how powerful would they be to ordinary people?"
"Even a Martial Saint, facing a walking Temple God, would be like an ant, right?"
Lu Qiankun shook his head.
"The Heavenly Will protects this world. Sometimes, restrictions are also a form of protection."
People like Lu Qiankun, an old-school Divine Tribulation cultivator, were among the few who truly glimpsed the world's secrets. While pursuing strength, they also sensed the world and the heavens.
Whoosh!
The Flying Sword hovered high in the sky.
Li Che's mind stirred slightly, and he could clearly sense an incredibly vast presence approaching the area around Qitian City.
Apparently, some powerful beings had arrived at Qitian City before them.
A small town was located a hundred li from Qitian City.
It was a small town under the jurisdiction of Wenling Prefecture, named Wuzhi Town.
Most of the powerful beings had gathered in Wuzhi Town, but Lu Taibai, who had just broken through the Divine Tribulation, soared into the sky on his Flying Sword, heading towards Qitian City.
In Wuzhi Town, many people also sensed the presence of Lu Taibai and his group.
"Lu Taibai broke through the Divine Tribulation?"
Some were astonished, some were perplexed, and some sighed.
Lu Taibai, the leader of the Qianyuan God Clan, once a top-ranked figure on the Great Jing Divine Ranking and the Tianmen Pass Double Ranking, has now, after all, taken a step ahead of them and stepped into the Divine Tribulation.
"It's quite interesting, the Qianyuan God Clan has two Divine Tribulations within their sect, and both are headed towards this trip to Qitian City. It seems they're determined to spread the word about Qitian."
"That's Lu Qiankun, the founder of Qianyuan, and he's still alive..."
"First, there was Ji Mali breaking through the Divine Tribulation, and now... Lu Taibai has also made it."
"Ji Mali is dead."
Wuzhi Town had gathered countless powerful beings, mostly human experts, because Qitian City is currently occupied by the demon race. If they wanted to enter Qitian City, they would first have to battle the demons and earn the right to enter.
Thus, many human experts gathered in Wuzhi Town outside Qitian City. Of course, there were also those like Ji Mali who chose to set up camp in a remote wilderness.
The news of "Ji Mali is dead" spread like thunder, shocking the entire Wuzhi Town.
"It's true, Jizhou City's Ji Mali's Pacification King's Mansion was slaughtered, Ji Liqing and Ji Lihong died, and Ji Mali's hidden Blood Pool collapsed..."
"Moreover, the blood clouds gathered above Jizhou, and the abnormal phenomenon of the Divine Tribulation's fall... Ji Mali is indeed dead."
Who killed him? For a moment, everyone looked towards Lu Taibai's flying sword, which was sweeping across the sky above Wuzhi Town, heading towards Qitian City.
They fell into silence.
...
...
Lu Taibai's sleeves fluttered, his clothing constantly moving, and his silver hair lashed the air.
He stood atop the enlarged Taibai Sword's tip, surrounded by sword qi like a tide, standing alone at the crest.
With a sweeping motion, he sheathed his sword behind him.
The sword qi soared ten thousand zhang into the sky, slicing through the void for thousands of miles! Lu Taibai didn't enter Wuzhi Town but instead headed straight to Qitian City!
Of course, he also wanted to see how domineering the demons were, who had occupied Qitian City for five hundred years.
Li Che sat cross-legged on his flying sword, and Xixi, Yun'e, and the other companions did the same, imitating Li Che's breathing, inhaling and absorbing the divine essence between heaven and earth.
The location where the Qitian Temple stood was at the junction of the Inner and Outer Strange Gates.
The geographical position was extremely unique, and it was also related to the Outer Strange Gate, making the divine essence here incredibly rich and grand!
Moreover, the divine essence here was extremely pure, as if crushed from a divine essence crystal, making it even smoother to absorb than holding a divine essence crystal.
"Inhale—"
"Exhale—"
With each breath, they seemed to swallow the essence of the world.
Li Che was not at all polite, and now that he had just transformed into the Pure Heart Dao Fruit, the various divine fetuses within his Niwan Inner Scene were in a state of extreme hunger!
With free divine essence available, he wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Rumble—
Without any hesitation, a divine essence vortex formed above Li Che's flying sword, continuously gathering.
Lu Qiankun, Lu Taibai, and Fang Hanchu couldn't help but look over.
"This divine fetus of Elder Li... is quite hungry."
"The sect has resources; we should support him more and not hold back..."
Lu Qiankun said with a smile.
Lu Taibai and Fang Hanchu fell silent. What were they holding back?
Who uses swallowing to cultivate divine fetuses? Even with a Three Purities-ranked divine essence crystal, one still needs to slowly absorb it.
Although the divine essence near Qitian City was somewhat similar to that within the divine essence crystal, it couldn't be swallowed like this...
"Elder Li is about to undergo the Four Divine Transformations... He's a monster on the path of divine essence..." Fang Hanchu exclaimed.
Although he was shocked, he didn't feel it was unbelievable.
He had long been accustomed to Li Che's talent. After all, the first time he saw Li Che... was only two or three years ago. At that time, Li Che was merely a novice Great Master.
Indeed, compared to Fang Hanchu's age, Li Che was just a novice in his eyes.
"Qitian City... the revival and reopening of the Strange Temple, the reason everyone has come is mainly for the Resonance of the Temple God of Qitian..."
Fang Hanchu looked at Li Che's cultivation and spoke.
"Resonance of the Temple God?"
Li Che opened his eyes.
He was naturally familiar with this term.
When Xixi was in the Golden Light Mansion, the test between the Eight-Armed Infernal Lotus and the Furious Third Prince Strange Temple was also the Resonance of the Temple God. At that time, a group of children had come.
"Yes... the Resonance of the Temple God. It's not difficult to understand; the inheritance of the Strange Temple's Temple God is passed down through the Resonance of the Temple God."
"The Great Supervisor said that the holder of the Mindful Golden Iron Staff can ascend to the city tower of Qitian City and obtain the Three Purities Divine Weapon, the Hunyuan Qitian Staff, which is also inseparable from the Resonance of the Temple God. After all, the holder of the Mindful Golden Iron Staff is the most compatible with Qitian..."
Fang Hanchu explained.
"Why did the demons occupy Qitian City? Because they are determined to obtain this inheritance, and the main reason is that the demons have a significant advantage..."
Hearing this, Li Che narrowed his eyes, "Qitian Temple has a demon saint... So, the demons believe they have a great advantage?"
"Yes," Fang Hanchu nodded.
"Not only that, but the Western Buddhist Land and Xiaolingyin Temple also have great confidence in this Resonance of the Temple God. Because in the Fighting Lotus Demon Saint Qitian, the word 'Fighting' is a Buddhist name, so the Western Buddhist Land believes that Qitian is a Buddhist Temple God..."
Fang Hanchu, well-read and knowledgeable, was the Hunter God Pavilion's Hunter God.
Li Che nodded thoughtfully.
"So, the various experts gathered here have three main purposes. First is the Qitian inheritance of the Strange Temple, the second is the resources of the ancient divine sect Qitian Temple, and the third... is the secret of Qitian City's connection to the Inner and Outer Strange Gates..."
Fang Hanchu clarified the main relationships in this Qitian City event for Li Che.
"So, it's the Resonance of the Temple God?" Li Che narrowed his eyes.
No wonder so many people wanted to hold the Mindful Golden Iron Staff; the Resonance of the Temple God provided immense assistance.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Suddenly, the flying sword halted, no longer moving.
Li Che's gaze focused, and as he looked down, he saw a majestic and vast city spread out amidst the mountains and rivers below!
The city was incredibly lofty, spanning the heavens and earth, with a grandeur that seemed like a colossal divine dragon coiled on the ground.
Its aura was majestic and heavy, and most importantly, it was filled with an ancient atmosphere. The city walls stretched left and right, and the limit of its grandeur was beyond imagination.
"Qitian City.
