Chapter 486: The Father's Love Melts the Iceberg, Someone Reaches the Flag of Tribulation Before Li
Chapter 486: The Father's Love Melts the Iceberg, Someone Reaches the Flag of Tribulation Before Li Che (Part 1)
"Dad..."
A soft call, as if transcending time and space, echoed faintly. It was filled with fear, grievance, and sorrow, yet also cautious and tentative.
It seemed that with the slightest carelessness, the scene before them would shatter like a reflection on water or a flower in a mirror. Even the voice calling out was suppressing countless emotions, afraid to release them for even a moment.
The voice, laden with grievances, caused Li Che's heart to tremble slightly.
Li Che's palm rested on Xi Xi's head, but she tilted her head, seemingly unaware of what the big sister was saying to her father.
She blinked her eyes, and the unhappiness in her heart had long since dissipated. A smile curved her lips uncontrollably, and she was overjoyed.
Sure enough, whenever Xi Xi was hesitant and in danger, her father would appear. Her father would not let her suffer. As long as her father was there, Xi Xi could be carefree and happy, for all her worries would be blocked by him!
Having such a father was truly wonderful for Xi Xi!
Xi Xi's heart was filled with joy, and at the innocent age of eight, she couldn't hide her thoughts. She even hummed a folk song cheerfully.
However, if Xi Xi had heard the big sister calling out to Li Che, perhaps she wouldn't have been so carefree.
She might have felt like her family had been stolen.
After all, Xi Xi had always believed that her father belonged to her alone.
Li Che's eyes held a complex expression as he heard that call, which seemed to transcend time and space, addressing him as "Dad." His feelings became complicated.
Da Xi Xi...
Her experiences might have exceeded his imagination.
The destiny of the executioner of heaven and earth, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood that Li Che had witnessed, the countless Temple Gods who feared it, the supreme and divine beings of the Wiles Pavilion who did not want the daughter of the Hell Lotus to awaken...
All of these indicated that during the years without Li Che, Da Xi Xi had endured too much suffering and torment.
The egg that fell on the black lotus platform, the one that tried to bewitch Xi Xi, might have once bewitched Da Xi Xi in the same way. But Da Xi Xi did not have Li Che, nor did she have her father's protection. She had no choice...
She chose to accept the egg, accept her so-called destiny, and became an executioner with her hands stained with blood. There was only endless slaughter, which exhausted her spirit and caused her mind to sink into despair, leaving her with nothing but hopelessness in her eyes.
Li Che was curious as to why Da Xi Xi had appeared.
Was it the Xi Xi from her previous life, or the Xi Xi from the future, or perhaps a Xi Xi from another space-time? But... why would a Xi Xi from a different space-time appear in the depths of Xi Xi's soul?
In an instant, Li Che's mind raced with countless thoughts and explorations.
Finally, his gaze became firm, and he looked at the wind blowing towards them, ruffling the long, straight black hair of the girl.
"He's here, Dad is here."
Li Che spoke softly.
Whoosh—
In the dark space, a black lotus bloomed.
The girl with long, straight black hair had dark eyes that were filled with a myriad of emotions, like the ebb and flow of the ocean.
She pressed her lips together, as if searching through her sealed memories for the shadow of her father, whom she had forgotten for so long. The shadow seemed to slowly overlap with the figure before her.
Tears flowed from the girl's eyes, and she stubbornly pressed her lips together, but the tears continued to flow uncontrollably.
Even the strongest person, when receiving a little care, would break down uncontrollably.
Li Che sighed softly, picked up Xi Xi, and walked in front of the girl. He extended his hand and gently patted her head, just as he had done with Xi Xi.
It was as cold as an iceberg.
Li Che's Wu Xian Yi Zhi was even more brilliant and warm than the icy chill, radiating intense warmth.
"Xi Xi wants to come too! Big sister, you can do it!"
Xi Xi also leaned forward and extended her palm, gently placing it on Li Che's hand.
The scene seemed to freeze at this moment, like an eternal painting, engraved in the heart of the girl with long, straight black hair. It became an indelible painting, a piece of pure land in her soul.
The girl's eyes, which had been devoid of emotion, now seemed to hold a hint of feeling, gently rippling.
Looking at Li Che, her expression gradually softened.
"Thank you..."
Buzz—
The dark scene instantly shattered.
...
...
Tai Bai Peak.
Whoosh—
The raging wind surged, and thunder and lightning intertwined in the sky, creating a terrifying divine aura that made the heavens and earth oppressively stifling.
In the sky, blood-red clouds intertwined, and a terrifying pressure leaked out from within, as if a divine wrath was about to descend, like a surging wave, to bring down a calamity and destroy heaven and earth!
It was as if a divine being was hidden behind the leaden clouds, revealing an angry face, intending to erase the blood-red sphere on Tai Bai Peak!
"The Martial Saint Thunder Tribulation!"
Tai Bai Hall.
Lu Taibai's eyes narrowed, and he spoke in a deep voice.
The people of the Qianyuan Shen Zong held their breath and stood at a distance, watching the scene unfold. Their hearts were filled with endless confusion.
Xi Xi had not yet broken through the divine sphere, so why was the Martial Saint Thunder Tribulation descending?
Could it be that Xi Xi had already succeeded in her breakthrough?
Too many doubts clouded their minds, and even the experienced and knowledgeable ancestor Lu Qiankun could not provide any explanation. He, too, was unable to understand or see through the situation.
All he could say was that perhaps the tribulation of the daughter of the Hell Lotus was somewhat different.
Boom—!!!
Brilliant light flashed from high in the sky, turning the heavens and earth into a dark night. The dazzling lightning captured everyone's attention, and everything outside their line of sight became dim.
The clouds spread like a vortex, and within them, where the terrifying lightning was brewing, a boiling sound erupted. Then, a bolt of lightning, like a spear thrown down by a divine being, transformed into a thunderous serpent. It was ferocious, vicious, and terrifying!
Boom—!!!
The thunderbolt slammed into the divine sphere, and the air on Tai Bai Peak seemed to ripple in circular waves, spreading and expanding into a raging storm that howled incessantly.
The waves of air were like a tsunami, overwhelming and unstoppable.
Countless bolts of lightning exploded, causing the ground on the plateau to crack and become a crisscrossed network of ravines.
The power of this thunderbolt made even the supreme martial saint Feng Zhi Qi tremble with awe.
Even when he had faced his own Martial Saint Thunder Tribulation, he had never encountered such a powerful lightning strike. The difference was too great!
Could this be a human's tribulation?
Crack—
Under the thunderous strike, the divine sphere seemed to be unable to bear the burden, and with the sound of shattering, a crack appeared.
Suddenly, a torrent of powerful essence energy burst out from the sphere, forming an immense ocean of energy.
A purple spear burst out from the divine sphere, tearing through the crack, and Xi Xi's figure soared into the sky, enveloped by the energy. Her qi and blood surged like burning flames.
The Martial Saint's power surged!
The essence of the Human Elixir merged with the Three Primal Energies, transforming into a mighty Primal Energy! Xi Xi opened her eyes, her black hair fluttering in the wind, and her two braids stood tall like spears. Her entire demeanor exuded power as she held a long spear in one hand, rested the other on her waist, and stood mid-air with her little belly protruding, looking utterly arrogant.
An eight-year-old Martial Saint was a rare sight in the mortal world, and Xi Xi indeed had the qualifications to be so arrogant!
On Tai Bai Peak, exclamations of surprise echoed back and forth, filling the air. Many people's eyes shone with brilliance, filled with astonishment.
Zhang Ya also cheered, seeing Xi Xi break through the divine sphere and emerge. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.
A smile curved Li Che's lips. The Martial Immortal's will had returned, and the Thunder Chess Piece left on Xi Xi allowed him to monitor her condition at all times. So, when he sensed something amiss with Xi Xi, he descended with the Martial Immortal's will.
It could be said that the Thunder Chess Piece played a significant role in protecting his daughter's safety.
Otherwise, Li Che would have been unable to ensure her safety at all times.
"Elder Li, congratulations! A tiger's cub is no ordinary creature. The young master of the Qianyuan Sect has exceptional talent and unmatched martial prowess. This is a fortunate event for our Qianyuan Dao City!"
Around them, elders like Feng Zhi Qi and Zhao Fang Zhou gathered, offering their congratulations to Li Che with smiles.
It was like when a child scored exceptionally well on an exam, receiving praise and compliments from other parents. Li Che's mood was excellent, and the smile on his face was sincere and radiant, even more so than when he had broken through to the Martial Saint realm himself.
In fact, even the joy he felt when breaking through to the Martial Immortal realm couldn't compare to the satisfaction he felt now from the compliments.
Surrounded by the crowd, the congratulations continued without end.
Li Che, who usually disliked crowds and noise, didn't feel annoyed or uncomfortable at all.
He lifted his head and looked at Xi Xi, standing in mid-air with her feet on the Hell Lotus Flaming Golden Wheel, darting through the heavens. A smile curved his lips.
Watching his daughter grow stronger quietly was truly wonderful.
...
...
Qianyuan's young master, Li Nuan Xi, had reached the Martial Saint realm at the age of eight! This news swept through Qianyuan Dao City like a storm and quickly spread to the entire Dajing Eleven Realms with even greater intensity.
Eight years old... a Martial Saint at eight years old! It was almost unbelievable.
What were they doing at eight years old? Probably still playing with mud!
And here was an eight-year-old Martial Saint! How did such a monster cultivate?
Martial cultivation relied not only on talent but also on unwavering perseverance. Even with sufficient talent, each move and technique required time to refine.
Moreover, tempering the physical body was an incredibly tedious process.
Lu Taibai watched Xi Xi break through to the Martial Saint realm, feeling elated. As her teacher, he was naturally overjoyed! He was like a man who had drunk sweet nectar, unable to contain his laughter.
Hum—
A sword light soared into the sky.
Lu Taibai ascended, soaring upwards, his divine essence spreading and stirring the heavenly path soul. Even the sky above Qianyuan Dao City changed color.
Lu Taibai was now undergoing the Divine Tribulation, and his might was even more formidable. He was well aware that Qianyuan Dao City harbored many powerful beings from the various divine factions.
But today, he was in high spirits, and people said that Lu Taibai's disciples were not normal, that none of them were ordinary. Now, wasn't there an eight-year-old Martial Saint disciple? Was that not normal?!
Lu Taibai threw back his head and laughed, his voice rumbling and echoing throughout Qianyuan Dao City.
"Three days from now, the Qianyuan Shen Zong succession ceremony will commence. All are welcome to attend."
"Hahahahaha—"
As his words fell, the entire Qianyuan Dao City trembled in response.
The various noble families within Qianyuan Dao City began to think about and prepare gifts. This was a significant event; after all, an eight-year-old Martial Saint as the young master of Qianyuan Shen Zong was an extraordinary existence, a peerless genius. If the gifts were too ordinary, they might bring shame.
Furthermore, to establish a good relationship with Qianyuan Shen Zong, they had to prepare suitable gifts.
Qianyuan Shen Zong, with its two divine tribulations, was likely to rank among the top sects in the Dajing realms.
Three days was neither long nor short.
The entire Qianyuan Dao City was enveloped in a festive atmosphere, filled with excitement.
It was like the eve of a grand celebration, and according to tradition, the mood should have been one of sadness and reluctance as the Qianyuan Shen Zong's leader, Lu Taibai, was about to step down. But the current atmosphere made it seem as if Lu Taibai had not been doing his job as the sect leader.
However, the crowd was cheering and rejoicing for the young master of Qianyuan Shen Zong, Xi Xi, who had broken through to the Martial Saint realm at the age of eight, an unparalleled genius. They celebrated the bright future of Qianyuan Shen Zong, which was about to reach new heights.
Qianyuan Shen Zong.
Meishan.
Li Che's black robe billowed, and his thick, black hair seemed to crackle like a divine whip, shattering the air currents and causing a booming sound.
With a gentle smile on his face, Li Che strode up Meishan. Along the way, plum trees bloomed with autumn plums, or perhaps it was that on Meishan, plum blossoms bloomed all year round, filling the air with a fragrance as if it had been forged through countless trials.
With Li Che's current cultivation, it was not difficult for him to see through the mysterious fog and locate the Wicked Temple.
The wind howled, and plum blossoms fell, scattering their fragrance.
Pink plum petals fell, dotting the ground shrouded in mysterious fog, adding a touch of mystique.
Li Che stepped forward and entered the Wicked Temple of the Three-Eyed True Lord.
Inside the temple, it was quiet. The true lord's statue stood silently on the altar, and a slender black dog stood beside it in a hunting posture.
Candles flickered and burned dimly all around.
The true lord's statue sat high on the altar, its face still obscured by dense divine fog. Only the slit in its forehead revealed a divine eye that emitted a piercing gaze.
Li Che had once asked the boss if he was the Three-Eyed True Lord, but the boss had not given him a direct answer.
Was this considered an implicit confirmation? Li Che couldn't assume so. He raised his left hand, and the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber hummed and vibrated, then flew into his grasp.
In this Wicked Temple, he had resonated with the temple god and obtained three orbs of light.
He had chosen the Three-Pronged Double-Bladed Saber, and this divine weapon had indeed provided him with significant assistance. During the battle in Qitian City, he had unsealed the weapon, releasing its divine aura, which helped him defeat his opponents.
So, Li Che was grateful to the True Lord.
He sat cross-legged, and the gentle breeze stirred, enveloping the entire world in silence.
