Chapter 484: The Xixi Emperor Returns to His Hometown, the Succession Rite and the Eight-Year-Old Sa
Chapter 484: The Xixi Emperor Returns to His Hometown, the Succession Rite and the Eight-Year-Old Saint (Part 2)
Xixi's physical body had become exceptionally robust.
Li Che, on the other hand, did not receive the same treatment. When he tried to scavenge for food, the Boss would coldly turn him away.
However, the Boss wasn't entirely heartless. He still allowed Li Che to cook if he could find good ingredients.
So, for the past year, Li Che had been eating well.
Aside from eating and drinking, Li Che also spent his free time refining Xixi's physical body with the Martial Immortal Will, using his golden essence to nurture her physique, guiding it towards the True Martial Body.
Additionally, he used the Dream Celestial Master's Dao Fruit to enter Xixi's dreams, allowing her to cultivate in her sleep and receive amplified feedback from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.
However, as the daughter of the Prison Lotus, Xixi couldn't completely suppress her divine nature, unlike Li Che. Therefore, she couldn't cultivate the Martial Immortal Golden Body and could only follow the path of the True Martial Double.
Although the True Martial Way was the secret of the True Martial God Sect, for Li Che, who had already stepped into the Martial Immortal Way, it presented no difficulty.
Nevertheless, Li Che was still amazed by Xixi's rapid progress in cultivation.
At eight years old, she had reached the Grand Master realm with three flowers blooming on her head...
In addition to the influence of the Martial Immortal bloodline, the innate talent of being the daughter of the Prison Lotus was gradually unfolding.
The rain poured down like pillars, and without lingering in the courtyard, father and daughter returned to the house.
Jin Taishui, Jinmao Kui, Yun E, and Zhou Peng were already waiting, having prepared cold watermelon for Xixi to quench her thirst after her cultivation.
Li Che took a piece of watermelon from his daughter and then shared the news of Lv Taibai inviting her to inherit the position of the sect leader.
Xixi's eyes lit up at the news.
She jumped around the room in excitement.
She was already looking forward to the day when she would succeed the sect leader, Master Lv Taibai, and occupy the Tai Bai Peak. She had even thought of a majestic name to replace the plaque on the Tai Bai Hall.
With Xixi as the new sect leader, the main peak would be renamed Xixi Peak, and the hall would become the Xixi Emperor Hall. It was an unbeatable prospect!
Xixi's eyes sparkled, her face flushed with excitement, and her little body trembled with emotion.
As Li Che watched Xixi daydreaming about succeeding the sect leader, he shook his head.
Ah Che gently rubbed Xi Xi's head.
"Little girl, the position of the sect leader represents not only status but also responsibility... Are you prepared to take on the duties of a sect leader?" Ah Che asked softly.
However, he didn't wait for Xi Xi's response.
In the future, Xi Xi would eventually understand the responsibilities of being a sect leader.
Cicadas chirped throughout the summer, and the autumn waters stirred, creating ripples.
A fall rain brought a chill.
Ever since Ah Che learned that the Emperor was willing to lend the Juxian Huangqi to the Supreme of the Dark Celestial Court, he had asked Lian Gonggong to pay close attention.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor did not immediately lend out the Juxian Xuanqi, making the Xuanzhen Supreme wait with the dispatched Zunzhes.
One mistake, one strikethrough, one aspect...!
Ah Che wasn't in a hurry. With a calm mind and peaceful aura, if the Emperor didn't lend the Juxian Huangqi, then so be it. If he did lend it to the Xuanzhen Supreme, intending to assist the Supreme in breaking through the Qitian Inner City, then Ah Che wouldn't hold back.
The autumn rain pattered, and the maple tree in the courtyard had already begun to brew a fiery red aura.
Ah Che held Zhang Ya's hand and left the courtyard, strolling leisurely through the riverside city of Qitian.
Raindrops fell on the tranquil river surface, creating ripples of dyed circles.
Zhang Ya's eyes were filled with warmth, and she felt extremely content.
"Husband... These days are truly wonderful."
Zhang Ya leaned on Ah Che's arm, gazing at the rippling river surface, and spoke softly.
Ah Che smiled, "In peaceful times, who wouldn't be envious? Your husband is working hard to strive for these peaceful days."
"Husband, you've worked hard..." Zhang Ya's cheek rested on Ah Che's arm, her eyes a bit dazed, as if in a dream.
Unbeknownst to them, their daughter had turned eight, and their family had unknowingly reached a height beyond her wildest dreams.
"Taibai Zongzhu has sent another letter urging us. In a couple of days, we'll set off to return to Qianyuan."
Ah Che rubbed Zhang Ya's head.
"Mhm."
"Unknowingly, our Xi Xi is about to become a sect leader."
...
...
Three days later.
The autumn wind blew briskly, completely turning the maple tree in the courtyard red.
The fiery red maple leaves rustled, resembling a burning fire.
In the courtyard.
Ah Che slowly opened his eyes, and the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows trembled slightly. The Tiandi Qipan suddenly appeared and expanded rapidly, shooting into the sky.
Before his eyes, golden light flowed and intertwined like mist.
[Dao Guo: Qisheng (LV6, 98%)]
After more than a year, the maturity of the Qisheng Dao Guo had increased very slowly. Without special encounters, the natural growth of the Dao Guo's maturity was indeed extremely slow.
Even those Dao Guo at the LV7 level had barely grown.
Ah Che couldn't help but sigh, no wonder those Dao Guo masters were stuck at the eighth transformation of the Dao Guo, unable to break through the ninth transformation...
Ah Che felt that he might also get stuck at this bottleneck in the future.
Xi Xi still couldn't break through the realm of the Martial Saint, as if she lacked that crucial opportunity.
Xi Xi felt very regretful and was in low spirits.
She clearly felt that her accumulation was sufficient, but she was just missing that one thread.
However, Ah Che knew the reason, so he informed Xi Xi that she would soon return to the Qianyuan Shenzong to inherit the position of the sect leader.
Upon hearing this, Xi Xi couldn't help but smile, putting all her worries behind her.
Even when Fang Hanshu called her to study, she was still delighted.
"Elder, bye-bye! Xi Xi is going back to Qianyuan Shenzong!"
At the city gate of Qitian Outer City.
Xi Xi happily waved at Fang Hanshu.
Fang Hanshu's face carried a doting smile, seeing the joy on the little girl's face, she didn't even call him the Lord of the Demon Cave.
This time, Ah Che's family wasn't the only one returning to Qianyuan Shenzong; Li Qingshan, Mu Po Po, and others were also going back.
Ah Che didn't plan to leisurely travel through the mountains and rivers before returning. With a thought, the city of Mocheng Fengdu opened, and Xi Xi and the others were gathered inside.
Then, Ah Che raised his hand and touched his Niwan Palace. The Tiandi Qipan instantly expanded to its limit.
Star-stepping Teleportation!
Ah Che took a step forward, and his entire body seemed to have traveled through time and space...
Boom!
It was as if colorful light was rapidly flowing around, like a starry river in motion! Ah Che's blood surged, his body glowed, and his Martial Immortal Golden Body rang out, as if every pore was spewing out the most brilliant light! Between heaven and earth, essence energy circulated, and Ah Che's pores opened, absorbing the essence energy of heaven and earth. However, this process wasn't pure, as it required the isolation and shielding of divine nature.
Otherwise, if divine nature was devoured into the body, it would contaminate the purity of the Martial Immortal Golden Body.
Buzz!
After just two or three star-stepping teleportations, Ah Che had already left Qitian City and returned to the Lingnan Dao region.
With one more step, he arrived outside the Qianyuan Dao City.
The howling wind raged. Ah Che stood on the official road outside Qianyuan Dao City, where the trees on both sides were lush. Due to geographical differences, even in autumn, these towering trees remained lush and verdant.
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
With each inhalation and exhalation, the air flowed.
Ah Che's muscles and bones trembled, and his breath was restrained. Golden light flowed before his eyes, and he took a quick glance.
With this display of star-stepping teleportation, the maturity of the Qisheng Dao Guo still didn't show much progress.
Hmm? Ah Che's eyes lit up slightly.
[Dao Guo: Spacetime Golden Wheel (LV1, 10%)]
Surprisingly, the Spacetime Golden Wheel, a Dao Guo he had obtained just this year, had increased slightly in maturity.
Fei Xing Nuoyi, a powerful technique, has the potential to enhance the maturity of the Time-Space Wheel Dao Guo.
Li Che was delighted by this revelation.
However, the increase in maturity was minimal, and it was unclear how long it would take to reach the desired level of transformation.
The Tian Di Qi Pan, a grand chessboard, hovered above Qian Yuan Dao Cheng, and Li Che's eyebrows rose slightly as he sensed the presence of numerous powerful forces within the city.
These forces were all in a sealed state, hidden from the perception of Tian Di Yi Zhi.
It was evident that they were all drawn to the mysterious Miao Dao Xian Sheng San Yan Zhen Jun's temple...
The early revival of the Qitian Temple's deity had indeed caused a significant impact.
The real challenge, however, lay in Jin Guang Fu, where various powerful factions had gathered, collectively elevating the concentration of Shen Xing in the city to a level that surpassed even that of Qian Yuan Dao Cheng.
There were simply too many formidable experts assembled.
Shaking his head, Li Che snapped his fingers, and the crowd in Mo Cheng Feng Du, including Xi Xi, was suddenly released by Li Che.
"Wow—we're here already?" Xi Xi blinked in surprise.
Looking at the familiar city, Xi Xi's eyes sparkled, and she bit her lip, a smile spreading across her face.
At seven years old, she had left Qian Yuan for her training.
Now, over eight years later, she had returned to Qian Yuan.
After more than a year, Xi Xi had experienced so much, and she yearned for the days she had spent in Qian Yuan.
Vibrations filled the sky, and sword lights crisscrossed, clashing with a resounding clang.
A magnificent sword aura tore through the sky.
Lu Taibai's silver hair danced in the wind as he strode forward on a path of sword light, his sleeves fluttering. His eyes shone with joy and surprise.
"Hahahaha! My precious disciple, you've finally returned!"
"I've missed you so much, Master!"
Lu Taibai burst into laughter, his voice echoing throughout the city.
In Qian Yuan Dao Cheng, many powerful cultivators instinctively stirred their Tian Di Dao Hun, sensing the arrival of Xi Xi.
Yu Lian Nu!
Among them were hidden experts from various Shen Camp factions, their eyes narrowing and Dao Hun trembling.
She had returned to Qian Yuan Dao Cheng?!
Lu Taibai let out a cold snort, and his sword intent surged like a storm, overwhelming the entire city. The probing Dao Hun from various factions quickly retreated.
Lu Taibai welcomed Li Che, Xi Xi, and the others back to Qian Yuan Shen Zong, his resplendent sword intent radiating arrogance.
"There's no other choice," he explained. "Qian Yuan Dao Cheng has attracted too many powerful experts from various factions. We can't afford to weaken the city's momentum. Otherwise, these factions will take advantage of any perceived weakness."
Lu Taibai's words carried a hint of coldness.
Li Che nodded in agreement. When the situation called for it, one must stand firm; otherwise, they would become an easy target for manipulation.
Xi Xi's return to Qian Yuan Shen Zong caused a massive stir.
"The young master has returned!"
"Hahahaha! The companions of Qian Yuan Shen Zong, your Xi Xi Emperor has returned!"
Qian Yuan Shen Zong was abuzz with excitement as many cultivators who had been in secluded cultivation emerged from their seclusion.
Lu Qingxuan, Yang Yi, Chi Chengyan, Zhuo Banxiang, and other former Dragon Cubs from the Dragon Cub List appeared, having all broken through to the Grand Master level. Each of them exuded confidence and determination.
However, compared to Xi Xi, who had already stepped into the pinnacle of the Grand Master level, ignited the Three Flowers, and was challenging the realm of Wu Sheng, they seemed somewhat overshadowed.
With Xi Xi's return, Lu Taibai began making preparations for the grand ceremony to pass on the position of the sect leader to Xi Xi.
Lu Taibai gathered his sword intent and swiftly sent signals to the spies he had planted in various godly sects and the divine capital, instructing them to deliver the carefully prepared sword intent invitations he had prepared in advance. These invitations were sent to the leaders of various godly sects, inviting them to witness the ceremony.
Upon her return to Qian Yuan Shen Zong, Xi Xi seemed to have undergone a transformation in her mindset.
The Three Flowers pulsated, and her essence burned.
The entire Qian Yuan Shen Zong was enveloped in a surge of essence, and even Tian Di Yi Zhi resonated with a mighty rumble!
The bottleneck that had hindered Xi Xi's progress towards Wu Sheng for so long was finally broken through, and she returned home in grand style.
Xi Xi seized this golden opportunity without hesitation.
With unwavering determination and a resounding thunderclap...
She unleashed her power and attempted to break through to the Wu Sheng realm!
The eight-year-old girl formally challenged the realm of Wu Sheng!
...
...
Dajing Shen Du.
The Imperial Palace Temple.
Yun Xiao Dian.
The Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his bright yellow robe billowing, his face a blend of Shen Xing and Dao Yun. His eyes were filled with coldness.
A deafening roar reverberated.
Zhen Miao Si Du Governor Ye Pengju clenched his fist, blocking a sword light with his palm. His aura was as deep as an abyss.
He stepped into the hall, unfolding the sword light to reveal the invitation to the ceremony that Lu Taibai had prepared in advance.
It was customary for the Imperial Family to be invited to the Shen Zong's succession ceremony.
However, despite the strained relationship between Qian Yuan Shen Zong and the Imperial Court, they still invited the Emperor to attend the ceremony, which the Emperor perceived as a provocative gesture.
The Emperor abruptly swept his sleeves, unleashing a terrifying force that instantly crushed Lu Taibai's sword intent into shards! As the sword intent shattered, the lingering sword aura formed the character "He," filled with ridicule.
The Emperor couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. He swept his sleeves again and called for Lian Gonggong, leaving Yun Xiao Dian.
He arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum.
With a tight grip, a fluttering Juxian Xuan Qi fell into his hand.
A black-robed Zun Zhe sat cross-legged within, slowly opening his eyes.
The Emperor's bright yellow robe fluttered in the wind.
"I promised that after Xian Zhen Zui Zun eliminates the Ghost Emperor, he would help me with a small matter."
"Kill! Kill Lu Taibai and bring me his head!"
"Help me destroy Qian Yuan Shen Zong!"
