Chapter 489: The Pawnmaster's Fifth Transformation and the Blue Star's Homeland, A Thousand Miles Aw
Chapter 489: The Pawnmaster's Fifth Transformation and the Blue Star's Homeland, A Thousand Miles Away, A Single Step to Kill (Part 2)
This was his code of conduct since arriving in this world, and he had adhered to this moral standard even in the face of adversity.
Standing atop the Dominating Tower, Li Che's fiery aura gradually calmed down, as if he had fallen into deep thought.
"The Qi Sheng Dao Guo has now transformed and advanced to Level 7... Perhaps the scenes I glimpse will become clearer?"
Li Che couldn't help but think of the scenes transmitted by the Fei Lei Qi Zi he had placed on Qitian.
He still remembered Zhou Heng, the Jushen, saying that if the Temple Deity reignited his divine fire, he would be annihilated, and Li Che didn't want to witness such a scene.
As his mind moved, the Fei Lei Qi Zi trembled.
Li Che's consciousness sank into the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, and he looked up.
Instantly, a scene appeared, much clearer than before, even though it was separated by the mortal world and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
In the scene, Li Che saw Qitian, the old monkey, covered in blood, searching for a place to heal his injuries.
Suddenly, the scene shook violently, as if a terrifying divine might was surging, almost penetrating through the Fei Lei screen, making one's body and mind shiver.
In the scene...
A terrifying Buddhist light wove itself into a giant hand, tearing through the void, pressing down with overwhelming force. In an instant, it struck down, and dust and smoke filled the air as Qitian, the old monkey, cried out, unleashing countless stick shadows before transforming into a stream of light and shooting away.
The Fei Lei screen also dissipated at this moment.
Li Che's golden lotus-embroidered ink shirt fluttered in the wind, his eyes flashing as he exhaled deeply.
"Immortal Deities..."
Buzz—
His mind stirred.
Without a single mistake, he shot out a wave of power from within.
Leaving Mo Cheng Feng Du.
He returned to the top of Taibai Peak.
"Dong—"
"Dong—!!!"
The bell rang continuously, as Ding Zi struck the ancient bell of the Qianyuan Shenzong, and Lv Taibai led Xi Xi, dressed solemnly, onto the high platform of the Taibai Palace.
Li Che looked at Xi Xi, standing tall like a little adult.
He raised his head, gazing at the romantic clouds in the sky, the gentle breeze caressing the air, and the echoing bell ringing in his ears, giving him a sense of peaceful times.
But where were these peaceful times?
It was only because someone was shouldering the burden.
Li Che thought of Qitian, the old monkey in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and he sighed softly.
...
...
Qitian Inner City.
Suddenly, a figure flew swiftly across the sky above Qitian Inner City—it was Zhou Heng, looking disheveled.
As soon as Zhou Heng returned, the tranquility of Qitian Inner City was disturbed.
Boom—
Terrifying energy surged, and the Great Dao Runes intertwined, calming the original restlessness of Qitian Inner City.
Zhou Heng's disheveled appearance caught the attention of many.
Zhou Heng was no weakling, and he was a revered Elder who had endured two tribulations and three calamities. Although he hadn't reached the Half-Step Supreme level, he was still considered a top-tier fighter under the command of the Supreme Being.
The powerful figures from various factions within the Qitian Inner City were all present, and their gazes were filled with a peculiar intensity, as if they had all sensed something unusual.
However, Xuanzhen Supreme Being felt embarrassed to inquire further.
Xuanzhen Supreme Being's eyebrows furrowed, and as he clenched his fist, the Great Dao Runes intertwined, instantly enveloping and whisking Zhou Heng away.
"Speak... What's going on?" Xuanzhen Supreme Being asked coldly.
His eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of cold severity, as he could tell from Zhou Heng's appearance that the mission had undoubtedly failed.
He had sent Zhou Heng to the Imperial Mausoleum of Dajing, a strange temple node, to retrieve the Juxian Flag borrowed by the Emperor of Dajing. To break out of the Qitian Inner City, he had to take action against the stubborn and unyielding Ghost Emperor of the Underworld, completely annihilating him.
Now, it seemed that something had gone wrong.
"Where is the Juxian Flag?" Xuanzhen Supreme Being asked.
"Supreme Being, the Juxian Flag... has been stolen!" Zhou Heng said, filled with frustration.
"Stolen? So, the Emperor of Dajing agreed to lend the Juxian Flag, but it was taken by someone else?"
Even Xuanzhen Supreme Being couldn't hide his uncontrollable anger upon hearing this news.
Zhou Heng's expression was bitter as he detailed the situation to Xuanzhen Supreme Being.
"A killer from Lie Shen Tower? Ridiculous!"
"How did Lie Shen Tower know that I wanted to borrow the Juxian Flag? Only the three Supreme Beings of Qitian Inner City know about this!" Xuanzhen Supreme Being sneered.
Zhou Heng hesitated for a moment, then his expression changed, and he clenched his teeth, debating whether to reveal what he knew.
Xuanzhen Supreme Being gave him a cold look, "If you have something to say, speak up."
Zhou Heng clenched his teeth and then recounted how the killer from Lie Shen Tower had displayed both Buddhist and demonic energies during their confrontation.
Upon hearing this, Xuanzhen Supreme Being's body was enveloped in intertwining and surging Great Dao Runes.
"So that's how it is..."
His gaze pierced through space, as if tearing it apart, and he stared into the vast sky! Buddhist and demonic energies...
Jialou and Tianlang Yao Shen Supreme Being?
Humph! Xuanzhen Supreme Being snorted angrily, and in an instant, he clenched his fist, condensing the power of Dao Essence into a giant hand that captured Zhou Heng's figure once again.
Then, he rushed towards the locations where the other two Supreme Beings resided.
Xuanzhen Supreme Being wasn't foolish; he couldn't jump to conclusions about whether the other two Supreme Beings had secretly sent someone.
"Jialou! Tianlang!"
"Come out!!!"
Boom! The sound reverberated throughout the entire Qitian Inner City, and in an instant, every cultivator within the city changed their expressions, sensing the aura of the Supreme Beings, like a surging tide.
There was no doubt that something major had happened.
...
...
Something had occurred in Qitian Inner City, and it seemed that the three Supreme Beings had a disagreement. This news didn't come as a surprise to Li Che.
Taibai Peak.
The Chuangzong Grand Ceremony was gradually coming to an end.
Li Che didn't leave again, and after finishing his tasks, he began to share and savor this moment of joy with his wife.
They felt a sense of pride, as if their child had finally grown into a talented individual.
On the high platform, Lv Tai Bai held Xi Xi's hand and raised it high, causing the powerful Heaven and Earth Dao Soul to tremble, and in an instant, the news spread like a storm throughout the entire Qianyuan Dao City.
"From this day forward, the position of the leader of the Qianyuan Shen Zong shall officially be passed to Li Nuan Xi!"
"May our Qianyuan Shen Zong prosper and flourish for ten thousand years!" Lv Tai Bai proclaimed loudly.
His voice echoed like waves.
The disciples of Qianyuan Shen Zong became even more ecstatic, shouting in response to Lv Tai Bai's voice.
Did they feel reluctant to part with Lv Tai Bai as their leader? Of course, there was a bit of reluctance, but not much, as Lv Tai Bai's ascension to the position of leader wasn't due to his death, but because he had attained the God-Slaying level and needed to retire behind the scenes to avoid the threat of the Three Tribulations and Nine Calamities.
For this reason, there wasn't much sadness among the crowd.
And Xi Xi, an eight-year-old Martial Saint!
Unprecedented in the past and unmatched in the future! Such a heavenly genius becoming the leader of Qianyuan Shen Zong was a blessing for the sect, and her name would be remembered in the annals of history for thousands of years! After all, the fact that she became a Martial Saint at the age of eight was enough to earn her a place in the history books, making her one of the top heavenly geniuses of all time!
"Xi Xi, say something to everyone," Lv Tai Bai smiled and looked at Xi Xi.
Xi Xi's eyes shone brightly, and she didn't show any hesitation or embarrassment.
"Everyone!"
"I, Li Nuan Xi, will not let you down!"
"In the future, we will be the number one sect in the world!"
Xi Xi wore a solemn and elegant dress, with her hands on her hips, her small belly and chest puffed out. Her gaze swept across the crowd, and the Martial Saint's will erupted from her, her blood boiling like a raging fire, as if a wolf smoke was about to set the sky ablaze.
The entire Qianyuan Shen Zong fell silent for a moment.
The next moment, cheers erupted, filling the air with excitement. This Chuangzong Grand Ceremony lasted until late at night, and in the sky, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing a bright and clear moon.
The moon hung high, and the stars filled the sky like a vast sea.
Qianyuan Shen Zong hosted a grand banquet, with over a thousand tables of food and drinks, and the entire Qianyuan Dao City was immersed in celebration. Various fine wines and rare delicacies were served.
There were even delicacies made from the meat of precious demonic beasts.
Xi Xi was overjoyed, eating nonstop, with oil dripping from her mouth, and she didn't look like a leader at all.
"Take your time eating, no one's rushing you. Xixi, you're the leader of the sect now, the head of a sect, and we should pay attention to our image."
Zhang Ya stayed by Xixi's side, her eyes gentle and her voice soft.
Li Che, on the other hand, was toasting and chatting with Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, Feng Zhiqi, and other powerful individuals.
"A Che, let's drink to this. I'm grateful for having such a wonderful daughter like you, and for allowing Xixi to return from Qitian City and succeed me as the leader of Qianyuan Shen Zong."
Lv Taibai poured a cup of wine and drank with Li Che.
"Your words are not quite right, Leader. It was Qianyuan Shen Zong that gave our family shelter and allowed us to survive amidst various dangers without being extinguished..."
"One should not forget their roots. Xixi was already the Young Leader of Qianyuan, so why wouldn't she return?"
Li Che said with a smile.
Lv Taibai couldn't help but laugh at this.
"Shall we take a walk?"
Lv Taibai turned to Li Che, his eyes complex and deep.
Li Che was momentarily startled by his words, and his eyebrows furrowed as if he sensed something amiss about Lv Taibai.
The banquet was halfway through.
Li Che and Lv Taibai left one after the other, and they floated up, landing on Meishan Mountain.
Strolling through Meishan, the ground was covered in fallen plum blossoms, and the light and shadows were mysterious.
"A Che... When Huang Mei Dafashi died, I was lost and confused."
"I once said that if my sword grew weary, could it slaughter all the evil monks in Xiling Dao?"
"After killing one Huang Mei, Xiao Lingyin Temple will produce a second Huang Mei, a third Huang Mei, and countless more."
Lv Taibai's silver hair fluttered as he spread his fingers, plucking a plum blossom and a smile appearing on his lips.
"When I was the Young Leader of Qianyuan... I trained in Xiling Dao, and I killed many evil monks. I was pursued by Xiao Lingyin Temple and eventually expelled from Xiling Dao..."
"That's a memory I'll never forget."
Lv Taibai spoke softly.
Li Che's golden lotus-embroidered ink-colored shirt fluttered in the wind, his expression calm and composed, as if waiting for Lv Taibai to continue.
"Actually... before I met Seven Kills, I had another lover."
Lv Taibai said.
"She died in Xiling Dao, and they made a drum out of her skin."
"So, I despise the monks of Xiling Dao, and because of that incident, I swore that if I could break through the God-Slaying Tribulation... I would slaughter all the monks in Xiling Dao and attack Xiao Lingyin Temple."
Lv Taibai exhaled, and the sleeves of his robe bulged, emitting a continuous clanging sound from the sword energy hidden within.
It seemed as if the sword energy was about to burst out, following his changing intentions.
"However, I've always been the leader of Qianyuan, and I once swore that I wouldn't go until I reached the God-Slaying Tribulation. But now..."
"I've finally broken through to the God-Slaying Tribulation..."
A relaxed smile appeared on Lv Taibai's face.
"Xixi has taken over my position and become the leader of Qianyuan. With your and Lao Fang's assistance, she will undoubtedly do an even better job than I did..."
"So..."
Lv Taibai raised his five fingers and clenched them tightly.
The void suddenly shattered, and the mountain of plum blossoms whirled into the air.
He gripped the Taibai Sword, its light shimmering and clanging incessantly.
"I plan to head west to Xiling..."
"The King of Hell once said that there's no force in this world that can't be defeated. It's just that my determination wasn't strong enough!"
Upon hearing this, Li Che fell into a brief silence.
He had indeed said such words to Lv Taibai, but he never imagined that this determination had always been in Lv Taibai's heart.
"What about the Leader's wife? Are you going to leave her behind? Xiao Lingyin Temple in Xiling Dao is not weak. If you were to fall in battle..."
Li Che asked, his gaze distant, as if seeing the petite and delicate figure of Seven Kills sitting next to Xixi at the banquet.
She was so small, almost like an infant in swaddling clothes.
Lv Taibai glanced at Li Che: "She'll come with me... Seven Kills is actually very happy and excited..."
"Once the Locking God Talisman is activated, it can't be stopped..."
"She will eventually become smaller and smaller."
"She wants to fight alongside me one last time before completely losing her memories."
"Actually, my desire to pursue my sword path, to slaughter the monks of Xiling Dao and Xiao Lingyin Temple, is also because of her."
Lv Taibai gently swung the sword in his hand and smiled, "She'll sit on my shoulder, and we, as husband and wife... will have one last grand battle!"
"Without regrets."
Lv Taibai turned to Li Che, "As for the Jinguang Domain... the revival of the Third Prince Temple Deity will undoubtedly be more significant than the revival of Qitian. And since the Third Prince Temple Deity is related to Xixi... I can't help you much. My cultivation is too weak to be of use in such a battle."
"But if I go to attack Xiling Dao, I might be able to hold back many powerful individuals from Xiao Lingyin Temple. It might be an exaggeration to say that one person can hold back an entire sect, but at the very least, I'll be making an effort to protect Xixi."
Upon hearing this, Li Che opened his mouth to speak.
Lv Taibai waved his hand.
He laughed heartily, his sword intent surging! His white robe fluttered as he descended from Meishan, his silver hair flying in the wind, and he strode gracefully through the mountains, with carefree songs echoing around him.
"I am Lv Taibai, the star of slaughter in this world."
"Ten steps to kill one person, leaving no trace for a thousand miles!"
"Hahahahaha..."
