Chapter 472: The Only Martial Immortal in Five Thousand Years, Qi Tian Enters a Restaurant and Meets
Chapter 472: The Only Martial Immortal in Five Thousand Years, Qi Tian Enters a Restaurant and Meets the Boss, the God Lord 【Seeking Monthly Votes】 (Part 1)
The setting sun hung low in the sky, its fiery glow like a flame burning through the dry mountains, creating a vast inferno that turned the sky and earth crimson.
Qi Tian stood atop the ancient city tower, his gaze sweeping over the bustling city below.
The ancient tower, constructed from weathered bricks and stones, bore the marks of time, its surface eroded yet exuding an aura of ancient wisdom.
A hunched old monkey, clad in simple cloth, sat cross-legged on the tower, resembling a wise elder. His golden eyes, shimmering with divine light, seemed to see right through Li Che's current state.
Indeed, countless gazes were fixed upon the ancient city tower where Qi Tian stood.
The ancient god, resurrected from death, sat atop the tower like an eternal monument, its surface etched with the passage of time.
The cultivators gathered here were all top-tier experts, having reached the pinnacle of cultivation in the mortal realm.
War Saints, Divine Embryos, and even top-tier Absolute Peak and Divine Realm cultivators were among the crowd.
These cultivators had seen much and knew many secrets, understanding the power of a god and the significance of a Temple God's revival.
"The revival of a god signifies the coming of a Divine Wave. Each wave brings a calamity, and after three thousand years, an era of chaotic gods will arrive," an elderly cultivator sighed.
However, what truly astonished everyone was the conversation between the old monkey and the Netherworld Emperor Gui. The most surprising part was the grand gesture of the Temple God, offering the Netherworld Emperor Gui a Three Purities rank divine weapon, the Chaos Golden Hoop Staff, and even helping him absorb the essence of heaven and earth to break through to the Martial Immortal realm!
"Martial Immortal! A pure martial immortal is extremely rare!"
"This Netherworld Emperor Gui has cultivated martial arts to such a high level. I've heard that pure martial immortals are unmatched in battle. If he achieves the Martial Immortal realm, he will be incredibly formidable."
"But, whether in the current era or the past when divine nature was not as prominent, Martial Immortals are extremely rare. The path of pure martial arts requires not only exceptional talent but also vast resources to break through to the Martial Immortal realm."
...
Inside Qi Tian City, the cultivators gathered and discussed animatedly.
"To witness the birth of a Martial Immortal would be a stroke of good fortune."
"Breaking through to the Martial Immortal realm cannot be hidden. It will attract the attention of the entire world. Achieving the Martial Immortal realm is even more dazzling than breaking through divine tribulations or becoming a Martial Deity. It's the pinnacle of the pure martial path, and the cultivator may even face a terrifying heavenly calamity!"
"Perhaps we will have the chance to witness such a rare Martial Immortal breakthrough that hasn't been seen in thousands of years!"
The voices of excitement and anticipation filled the air.
"But breaking through to the Martial Immortal realm is incredibly difficult. In this era, divine nature is surging, and its influence is pervasive. For a pure martial cultivator, the path is even more challenging."
Some cultivators expressed doubts and concerns.
However, the news of the Netherworld Emperor Gui's attempt to break through to the Martial Immortal realm spread like a storm, reaching everyone's ears.
Some cultivators had unique interests.
"The Netherworld Emperor Gui isn't even a Martial Immortal yet? Isn't the Netherworld supported by the Hell Lotus in the mortal realm? Are there other gods in the Netherworld?"
Someone was very curious about the limits of the Netherworld.
On the city tower, the sun set like a blazing fire.
"Then... thank you, senior."
Li Che smiled and clasped his fists, expressing his gratitude. He indeed wanted to break through to the Martial Immortal realm and perfectly integrate the Martial Immortal's Dao essence with his physical body.
Qi Tian's words made Li Che realize what he lacked.
The essence of heaven and earth...
Is this the energy required to break through to the Martial Immortal realm? Unlike Martial Deities, who rely on divine nature, Martial Immortals, after reaching the pinnacle of their physical bodies, also need external stimulation.
Martial Deities rely on divine nature, while Martial Immortals require the essence of heaven and earth.
"I, the Old Monkey, can help you absorb the essence of heaven and earth, but... only within the vicinity of Qi Tian City. If you wish to break through, it must be within this range."
The old monkey spoke softly.
Li Che, upon hearing this, had no objections and didn't mind.
After all, the Martial Immortal tribulation he was about to face was extremely terrifying, even more dangerous than the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
This kind of tribulation was so formidable that even ordinary divine tribulation cultivators dared not approach, fearing they might be affected.
Therefore, attempting to break through to the Martial Immortal realm outside Qi Tian City was not an issue.
"Senior, I think it's better if you keep the Chaos Golden Hoop Staff."
Li Che declined the old monkey's offer.
A Three Purities rank divine weapon was indeed extraordinary, possessing immeasurable power.
However, since Qi Tian had revived, this staff held a different significance for Li Che. Just as many divine tribulation cultivators had guessed, Li Che also felt that Qi Tian was not quite right, perhaps planning to venture into the Earth Wiles Pavilion.
The old monkey was taken aback, not expecting Li Che to refuse such a valuable gift.
"You have already recognized the staff, and it was because of you that the Chaos Golden Hoop Staff recognized its master, allowing me to revive..."
The old monkey smiled and explained.
However, Li Che's head was ablaze with purple fire, and his golden eyes also flickered with a smile.
"But without the Chaos Golden Hoop Staff, can the Great Sage still be called the Great Sage?"
Li Che's words made the old monkey pause.
Then, sitting atop the Qi Tian City tower, he leaned back and burst into hearty laughter.
"Good, then I'll borrow it for now."
"The Martial Immortal realm is difficult. In this era, the Wicked Temple has emerged from the Wiles Pavilion, covering the earth, and divine nature fills the heavens and earth..."
"These divine forces greatly affect the pure martial path. Even a trace of divine nature absorption will sever the pure martial path."
"So, in this era, there should be no one cultivating pure martial arts. Most can only manage to contain a small amount of divine essence within their physical bodies, but they can't completely eradicate it."
The old monkey spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Li Che nodded slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the warriors of the True Martial God Sect. They cultivated the True Martial arts and pursued the path of pure martial arts, but in reality, it wasn't purely pure martial arts, so it could only be called True Martial.
The path was difficult, but the power gained in exchange was incredibly strong and formidable.
"So, are you truly prepared? Once you choose to embark on the path of Martial Immortal, if you fail, you will completely lose the chance to break through the Divine Tribulation..."
"Do you have confidence in yourself?"
The old monkey's golden eyes flashed as he looked at Li Che, his gaze intense.
"Yes," Li Che replied.
Li Che's ink-colored robe fluttered in the wind, and with a flick of his sleeve, he tucked it behind him, letting out a soft laugh.
Within his chest, the Long Xiang Jin Gang Dao Guo was wildly leaping, as if there were dragon roars and elephant cries.
If even he couldn't achieve it, then this era would never see the birth of a Martial Immortal.
This was the confidence of Li Che, the master of the Dao Guo, who held the Dao Guo in his hands.
"Good, good, good... Truly worthy of being the father of Hell Lotus's daughter, you are indeed extraordinary."
The old monkey's eyes shone brightly.
"Go ahead, pull out the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick. I, the old monkey, have no use for it now. When the time comes to storm the Earth Wiles Pavilion, I'll ask for it back."
"You can pull it out now and hold it. The Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick contains the insights of my old monkey's Battle-Winning Secret Art."
"This secret art is something I, the old monkey, cannot directly pass on to you. However, if you can comprehend this secret art on your own, it will naturally be a great opportunity for you."
The old monkey said.
Li Che nodded slightly upon hearing this, and his gaze fell on the ordinary-looking golden hoop stick that Qi Tian had pierced into the city tower.
Golden light flashed, and divine patterns were engraved on its surface, seemingly containing a terrifying divine aura. Even without unsealing the divine weapon, Li Che could feel its formidable killing power just by holding it.
Battle-Winning Secret Art!
Li Che's eyes lit up slightly.
He couldn't help but recall the scene he had witnessed through the Heavenly Chessboard—a scene of Qi Tian Dashi fighting against the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, which was filled with deathly aura.
At that time, Qi Tian Dashi had displayed the Battle-Winning Secret Art, and it was incredibly powerful! Even compared to the immortal martial arts that Li Che had mastered, this secret art seemed far superior.
In fact, the Battle-Winning Secret Art couldn't even be called immortal martial arts; it was the true Shen Wu Zhi Dao!
So, Li Che was genuinely determined to give it a try.
The gentle breeze blew, causing the entire Heaven City to seem like it was shaking.
The news of the Netherworld Emperor Gui's attempt to break through to the Martial Immortal realm had already shaken the entire city, but at this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on the city tower.
They watched the exchange between the Netherworld Emperor Gui and the Temple God.
Suddenly, many people's hearts trembled, their breathing quickened, and their eyes shone with an intense brilliance.
Because they saw the Netherworld Emperor Gui move, step by step, towards the towering treasure stick that was stuck in the city tower, illuminated by the setting sun on the city wall.
The treasure stick reflected the golden glow of the setting sun, as if countless rays of light were steaming and shimmering, creating an incredibly brilliant and beautiful sight.
In the outer city of Heaven City.
Many cultivators' eyes were fixed.
Lu Taibai, Lu Qiankun, and other cultivators like Xuan Jiuzhen focused their gazes, all looking towards the scene on the city tower.
On the other side, the cultivators from the imperial court, Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and other Martial Deities, had complex expressions.
In that moment, everyone's hearts couldn't help but think of a name.
That name was "Da Jianzheng."
And along with the name Da Jianzheng, there was also his prediction.
The one who obtained the Willful Golden Iron Staff would pull out the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick from the city tower of Heaven City, becoming the culprit that would shake the entire Da Jing realm.
At this moment, Da Jianzheng's prediction seemed to be coming true!
It was about to be proven! The Netherworld Emperor Gui!
No, it should be said that the entire Netherworld might become the source of unrest in the Da Jing realm!
Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and the other powerful cultivators from the imperial court's Temple Suppressing Division couldn't help but feel restless. Their eyes were fixed, staring intently at the scene on the city tower.
Purple flames burned, and the golden skull exuded a strange aura.
Li Che slowly approached the Ruyi Stick, reached out, and grasped the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick.
Since he had already pulled it out once before, this time, he needed to comprehend the secrets and combat techniques contained within this weapon that had followed Qi Tian Dashi in countless battles.
Battle-Winning Secret Art! The true ultimate martial art!
Crack...
There was no hesitation or resistance, and it was as if he effortlessly pulled out his own treasure stick.
Buzzing—
A terrifying vibration emanated from the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, as if in an instant, it had vibrated a million times, causing invisible ripples in space, as if the very fabric of space was about to shatter.
Boom—
A terrifying roar echoed, like a vast ocean being stirred up by a giant wave, as if the space around the treasure stick was cracking and collapsing, with countless clouds swirling, and the sky filled with shimmering clouds and mist!
The entire divine weapon seemed to come alive in that moment, emitting a dazzling brilliance, glowing with a million rays of light!
Many people inexplicably felt a sense of pressure, as if their breathing had become stifled.
Within those rays of light was an immense power, as if just being illuminated by them would crush them.
This was a divine weapon intertwined with the grand dao and ultimate truth, extremely terrifying. Even Li Che, who held it, felt the horror within it.
Thump, thump, thump—
Li Che's gaze focused, as if flames were soaring into the sky.
The void trembled, and Li Che gripped the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, causing the Long Xiang Jin Gang Dao Guo in his chest to vibrate intensely. Then, the power of the Dao Guo slowly flowed out, transforming into a dragon and elephant shadow that enveloped the treasure stick!
The old monkey sat cross-legged on the city tower, his cloth robe fluttering in the wind.
His eyes also revealed a look of astonishment.
He hadn't expected that Li Che's grip on the treasure stick would trigger such a phenomenon.
Then, he saw Li Che begin to wield the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, performing martial arts on the city tower!
Indeed, it was a martial arts display. With a shake of the treasure stick, countless stick shadows soared into the sky. It was just the beginning move, but the old monkey recognized it.
"This is... Shattering the Southern Heavens!"
The old monkey laughed, stroking his cheek, his face actually covered by a mask.
It turned out that this young man before him had long since obtained the Dou Zhan Sheng inheritance.
No wonder Li Che could gain the recognition of the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick and successfully become its master. It was because Li Che had already mastered the secret art of Dou Zhan Sheng.
Although it was incomplete, the three strikes of the stick were the core of the Dou Zhan Sheng secret art!
The first strike shattered the Southern Heavens, representing 'Dou' (fight).
The second strike overturned the Heavenly Furnace, symbolizing 'Zhan' (war).
The third strike trampled upon the Azure Clouds, signifying 'Sheng' (victory)!
Boom—!!!
On the city wall, the Netherworld Emperor Gui's body towered majestically, and on his golden-like radiant skin, the bulging blue veins quivered like giant dragons.
