Chapter 472: The Only Martial Immortal in Five Thousand Years, Qitian Enters a Restaurant and Meets
Chapter 472: The Only Martial Immortal in Five Thousand Years, Qitian Enters a Restaurant and Meets the Boss, the God Lord 【Seeking Moon Votes】 (Part 1)
The setting sun cast a fiery glow, resembling a flame that scorched the dry mountains, as towering fires blazed into the sky, turning the heavens and earth into a sea of crimson.
Atop the inner city wall of Qitian.
The ancient city wall, constructed from bricks and stones, bore the marks of time, its surface weathered and worn, exuding an aura of age.
An old monkey, hunched over, clad in plain clothes, sat cross-legged on the city wall, resembling a wise elder. His eyes, shimmering with golden light, fixed on Li Che, as if seeing through his current state.
In fact, beneath the outer city of Qitian, countless gazes were directed towards the inner city wall.
An ancient deity, resurrected from death, sat majestically atop the city wall, resembling a monument etched with the traces of time.
The cultivators present were all of exceptional caliber, possessing the courage to venture into Qitian City, most of them having reached the pinnacle of cultivation in the mortal realm.
Among them were Martial Saints, Divine Embryos, and even top-tier Absolute Peak and Supreme cultivators.
These individuals had broad horizons and were privy to many secrets. They understood the power of a deity and the significance of a temple deity's revival for the mortal realm.
"The revival of a deity signifies the impending arrival of a divine tide. Each divine tide brings a calamity, and every three thousand years, the era of chaotic divine dances will commence."
An aged cultivator sighed softly.
However, what truly astonished everyone on the city wall was the conversation between the old monkey and the Underworld Emperor, especially the gift the divine monkey offered to the Underworld Emperor.
It felt like a final bequest before death, and he was even willing to entrust the Primordial Will Heaven-Sustaining Staff, a weapon of the Three Purities rank, to the Underworld Emperor.
Some people's hearts trembled slightly, harboring bold thoughts.
Could this deity, Qitian, be running out of time?
Perhaps he was about to make a grand move?
Speculations arose, suggesting that the Great Sage Qitian might be preparing to venture into the Earthly Mystery Palace, as everyone knew that the inner city of Qitian was situated at the junction of the Earthly and Heavenly Mystery Palaces.
Within the Earthly Mystery Palace lay greater opportunities, rumored to aid resurrected beings in advancing further.
Consequently, many believed that after Qitian's revival, he intended to storm the Earthly Mystery Palace, taking a chance to swiftly restore his divine power.
What surprised everyone even more was the temple deity's grand gesture.
He offered the Primordial Will Heaven-Sustaining Staff, a weapon of the Three Purities rank, to the Underworld Emperor and was even willing to assist the Underworld Emperor in absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to break through to the Martial Immortal realm!
"Martial Immortal! A pure martial immortal, a rare phenomenon in the world!"
"This Underworld Emperor has cultivated the martial path to such an extent. It is said that pure martial immortals are unmatched in combat. If one can attain enlightenment through the martial path, it would be extremely formidable."
"However, in both the current era and the past when divine nature was not prominent, martial immortals were extremely rare. To break into the martial immortal realm, one needs not only exceptional talent but also vast resources."
...
Within the outer city of Qitian, cultivators gathered, discussing the matter incessantly.
"But if we can witness the birth of a martial immortal, it would be an incredibly fortunate event."
Someone exclaimed in awe.
"Breaking through the martial immortal realm cannot be concealed; it will attract the attention of the entire world. Surpassing the divine tribulation or becoming a martial god pales in comparison. Those who walk the pure martial path face an incredibly challenging journey, and those who reach the pinnacle may even bring upon themselves a terrifying calamity of heaven and earth!"
"Perhaps we truly have the chance to witness a martial immortal's breakthrough, a spectacle unseen for thousands of years!"
The voices echoed endlessly, filled with excitement and anticipation.
"However, breaking through to become a martial immortal is incredibly difficult. In this era of surging divine nature, divine influence is pervasive, making it even harder to attain enlightenment through the pure martial path."
Others voiced doubts and concerns.
Nevertheless, the news of the Underworld Emperor's attempt to break through to the martial immortal realm spread like a storm, reaching everyone's ears.
Some had peculiar concerns.
"The Underworld Emperor isn't even a martial immortal? Isn't the Underworld a force supported by the Infernal Lotus in the mortal realm? Are there other deities within the Underworld?"
Someone asked curiously.
Just how powerful was the Underworld?
On the city wall.
The setting sun blazed like fire.
"Then... thank you, Senior."
Li Che smiled and clasped his fists, genuinely intending to challenge the martial immortal realm and seamlessly integrate the martial immortal's power with his physical body.
Qitian's words made Li Che realize what he lacked.
The essence of heaven and earth...
Was this the energy required for a martial immortal's breakthrough? Unlike martial gods, who possess divine nature, martial immortals, after reaching the pinnacle of their physical bodies, also require external stimulation.
Martial gods rely on divine nature, while martial immortals need the essence of heaven and earth.
"This old monkey can help you absorb the essence of heaven and earth, but... only within the vicinity of Qitian City. If you wish to break through, it can only be done 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 faced was incredibly terrifying, even more dangerous than the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations.
Ordinary cultivators who faced divine tribulations would dare not approach such a calamity, fearing contamination.
Therefore, attempting the martial immortal tribulation outside Qitian City was not an issue.
"Senior, I'd rather you keep the Primordial Will Heaven-Sustaining Staff."
Li Che declined the old monkey's gift.
A weapon of the Three Purities rank indeed possessed immeasurable power and mysterious abilities.
However, since Qitian had revived, this staff held a different significance for him, just as many cultivators had guessed. Li Che also felt that something was amiss with Qitian, suspecting that he might be planning to storm the Earthly Mystery Palace.
The old monkey was taken aback, never expecting Li Che to refuse a weapon of the Three Purities rank.
"You have already acknowledged it as your master, and it was because of you that the Primordial Qitian Staff acknowledged you, allowing this old monkey to revive..."
The old monkey said with a smile.
However, Li Che's head blazed with purple fire, and his golden pupils also revealed a hint of a smile.
"But without the Magic Buffing Staff, can the Great Sage still be called a Great Sage?"
Li Che's words left the old monkey speechless.
Then, sitting atop the city wall of Qitian, he leaned forward and burst into laughter.
"Good, then this old monkey will borrow it for now."
"The martial immortal realm is difficult to attain in this era. The mysterious temple has emerged from the Earthly Mystery Palace, covering the earth, and the air is filled with dense divine nature..."
"These divine powers significantly affect the pure martial path. Even a trace of divine nature absorption can sever the pure martial path.
"Therefore, in this era, there should be hardly anyone cultivating pure martial arts. Most can only manage to contain a small amount of divine nature within their physical bodies, but they cannot completely eradicate their divine nature."
The old monkey spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Li Che nodded slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the martial artists of the Zhenwu Shenzong. They cultivated Zhenwu and followed the path of pure martial arts, but in reality, it wasn't purely pure martial arts, so it could only be called Zhenwu.
The path was difficult, but the battle power gained was incredibly powerful and terrifying.
"So, are you truly prepared? Once you choose to pursue the path of martial immortality, if you fail, you will completely lose the chance to breakthrough 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.
"I do."
Li Che's ink-black shirt fluttered in the wind, and he rolled up his sleeves, letting them hang behind him as he gave a light laugh.
In his chest, the Dragon-Elephant Diamond Dao Fruit was going crazy, as if there were dragons roaring and elephants trumpeting.
If even he couldn't do it, then this era was destined to never give birth to a martial immortal.
This was the confidence of Li Che, the master of the Dao Fruit.
"Good, good, good... Truly worthy of being the father of the Lotus Daughter, you are indeed extraordinary."
The old monkey's eyes shone brightly.
"Go ahead, pull out the Magic Buffing Staff. I, Old Monkey, have no use for it now. When the time comes to charge into the Mysterious City, I'll ask for the staff again."
"Pull it out now and hold it. The Primordial Will Heaven-Sustaining Staff contains my insights into the Douzhan Conquering Secret Art."
"I can't directly pass on this secret art to you, but if you can comprehend it yourself, it will be a great opportunity for you."
The old monkey said.
Li Che nodded slightly, and his gaze fell on the ordinary-looking Magic Buffing Staff that Qitian had impaled on 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, its sheer resilience was enough to unleash a formidable killing force.
Douzhan Conquering Secret Art!
Li Che's eyes lit up slightly.
He couldn't help but think of the scene he had witnessed through the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, where Qitian Dashi fought fiercely with the lifeless Six-winged Golden Cicada.
At that time, Qitian Dashi had displayed the Douzhan Conquering Secret Art, which was extremely powerful! Even compared to the immortal martial arts that Li Che had mastered, this secret art seemed far superior.
In fact, the Douzhan Conquering Secret Art couldn't even be called immortal martial arts; it was a true Immortal Martial Art!
So, Li Che was truly determined to give it a try.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The gentle breeze seemed to make the entire Qitian City shake.
The news of the Underworld Emperor's attempt to pursue martial immortality had already shocked the entire city, but at this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on the city tower.
They watched as the Underworld Emperor and the Temple Deity communicated.
Suddenly.
Many people's hearts trembled, their breathing quickened, and their eyes shone with an intense brilliance.
Because they saw the Underworld Emperor move, step by step, towards the towering treasure staff embedded in the city tower, illuminated by the setting sun on the city wall.
The treasure staff reflected the golden light of the setting sun, as if countless rays of light were steaming and shimmering, reaching a pinnacle of splendor and beauty.
In the outer city of Qitian.
Many cultivators' eyes fixed intently.
Lu tai bai, Lv Qiankun, and other cultivators like Xuan Jiuzhen, their gazes concentrated, all looking towards the scene on the city tower.
On the other side, the court's cultivators, Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and other martial gods also had complex expressions.
In everyone's hearts, at this moment, they couldn't help but think of a name.
That was "Chief Commissioner."
And along with the name of the Chief Commissioner, there was also his prediction.
The person who obtains the Sui Xin Golden Iron Divine Rod will pull out the Magic Buffing Staff from the city tower of Qitian City, becoming the culprit that shakes the entire world.
Now, the Chief Commissioner's prediction seemed to be coming true at this very moment!
About to be proven! The Underworld Emperor!
No, it should be said that the entire underworld would be the root cause of shaking the entire world! Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and other powerful cultivators from the Court's Temple Affairs Department 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 demonic aura.
Li Che walked step by step towards the Magic Buffing Staff, reaching out his hand to grasp it.
Because he had already pulled it out once, and this time, he needed to comprehend the secrets and combat techniques contained within this staff that had followed Qitian Dashi through countless battles.
Douzhan Conquering Combat Secret Art!
A true immortal martial art!
Without any hesitation, he easily pulled out the staff as if it were his own treasure.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Terrifying vibrations emanated from the Magic Buffing Staff, as if, in an instant, it had vibrated millions of times, causing invisible ripples in space, as if the very fabric of reality was shaking to the point of shattering.
Boom, boom, boom—
A terrifying roar reverberated, like a vast ocean being stirred up by gigantic waves, as if the staff was tearing apart the heavens and the earth. The space around the staff shattered and collapsed, with countless clouds swirling, and the sky filled with shimmering clouds and mist!
The entire divine weapon seemed to come to life at this moment, bursting with dazzling light, shining brilliantly!
Many people inexplicably felt the pressure, and their breathing became heavy.
Within those rays of light was an overwhelming power, as if the mere act of shining on them would crush them.
This was a divine weapon that intertwined with the Dao of Heaven and Earth and the ultimate truth, incredibly terrifying. Even Li Che, who had mastered it, felt the horror within.
Thump, thump, thump—
Li Che's gaze intensified, as if flames were soaring into the sky.
The void trembled, and Li Che gripped the Magic Buffing Staff, the Dragon-Elephant Diamond Dao Fruit in his chest violently shaking, and then the power of the Dao Fruit slowly flowed out, transforming into a dragon-elephant shadow that enveloped the treasure staff!
The old monkey sat cross-legged on the city tower, his cloth robe fluttering in the wind.
His eyes also revealed a look of surprise.
He hadn't expected Li Che to be able to unleash such a phenomenon by gripping the treasure staff.
Then, he saw Li Che begin to wield the Primordial Will Heaven-Sustaining Staff, performing martial arts on the city tower!
Indeed, it was martial arts. With a flick of the staff, countless staff shadows soared into the sky, and it was just the opening move that the old monkey recognized.
"This is... the Shattered Southern Heavens!"
The old monkey laughed, rubbing his cheeks, his face actually covered by a mask.
