Chapter 540: The First Gathering of the Underworld Deities, Wu Xian Legacy Left by the Mountains and Waters (Part 2)
Li Che chatted with everyone for a while.
The Grand Superintendent gazed at the Wu God Mountain, now transformed into a thunder pool, and sighed.
“The Wu God Mountain is gone. In the past Mortal World, the Great Shaman and I were the only two who could connect with the Heaven and Earth Will. Now, only I remain.”
The Grand Superintendent felt a mix of sorrow and immense pressure.
His pressure came from the Jiutian Shidi.
To the gods and Immortals of the Jiutian Shidi, the Mortal World and the Mystic Realm held great mysteries and were more like vast places for achieving Dao.
Because the Mortal World had a complete Heaven and Earth Will!
Li Che couldn’t fully understand the Grand Superintendent’s sorrow and pressure, as he was about to enter the Jiutian Shidi to reunite with his daughter.
He didn’t stay long on the grassland. With the fall of the Wu God Mountain, the Da Li Imperial Court began to disintegrate, plunging into chaos.
As for the ultimate outcome, Li Che didn’t care.
After all, these were matters that Xie Yunshen should handle.
Xie Yunshen was the one Li Che had been searching for, the new ruler of the mortal world who could control the fate of heaven and earth!
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Li Che and Grand Superintendent left together.
They soon traversed space and returned to the Imperial Capital of the Great Jing Dynasty. Although the Great Jing was now in name only, the national title had not been changed.
In reality, after taking control of the Imperial Capital, Xie Yunshen had secretly spread a new national title: "Prison"!
The Great Prison Dynasty was the new national title!
This dynasty encompassed the vast territories of the former Great Jing, the Western Buddhist Land, the Da Li Imperial Court, and more.
Li Che had no objections to this. He allowed Xie Yunshen to do as he pleased.
After all, Xie Yunshen was Li Che’s soul summoning. Whatever he did would not harm Li Che and would even prioritize his interests.
Upon returning to the Imperial Capital, Li Che directly entered the Cloudy Heavens Hall and found his wife, Zhang Ya.
Zhang Ya was cultivating within the Cloudy Heavens Hall, sitting in meditation and refining two Divine Armaments of the Queen Mother of the West.
With the help of these two Divine Armaments, Zhang Ya’s cultivation rapidly improved.
In a short time, she had already reached the Divine Tribulation realm!
Even Li Che was surprised by this.
"Lord, Lady’s cultivation method is a genuine fusion technique, where all her cultivation is staked on the Divine Armaments!"
"Although the upper limit is limited, the speed of improvement is extremely fast. This fusion technique is different from the young lord’s fusion body refinement… it is purer."
Su Da transformed into a graceful young girl and explained to Li Che.
"Fusion technique… so, after this, Zhang Ya’s cultivation will be tied to the Divine Armaments?"
"As long as she fuses with powerful enough Divine Armaments, she can improve her cultivation?"
Li Che mused.
"Yes, the fusion technique is exactly like that. The upper limit is very low, and she won’t be able to break through to Immortality in this life. This is the upper limit and flaw of the fusion technique… Little Su Da has already spoken to Lady about this, and it was her choice to cultivate this way."
Su Da poked her fingers together, somewhat apprehensive, worried that Li Che would blame her.
When Zhang Ya made her decision, Li Che was in the process of advancing to the Xian Immortal realm, so Su Da did not disturb him.
"Beloved, don’t blame Little Su Da; it was my own choice!" Zhang Ya said in a tender voice, hugging Li Che’s arm and hurriedly speaking.
"I know my own talents. Even with your constant enhancement of my innate abilities, my future limits are still limited. It would be even more difficult to catch up with you and Xi Xi…"
"So, I chose the fusion technique. Although it’s hard to reach Immortality, the improvement is fast… Besides, how many cultivators in this world can reach the height of Immortality?"
Zhang Ya pursed her lips, her eyes bright, showing no regret.
She had a clear understanding of her own position.
Li Che sighed softly, "Alright, if it’s the fusion technique, then so be it… In the future, I’ll help you. If the fusion technique can’t break through to Immortality, we can always modify it. Techniques are created by humans; we can change them in the future."
Li Che affectionately scraped Zhang Ya’s nose.
"Zhang Ya."
Li Che suddenly called out.
Zhang Ya’s eyes flickered, her long lashes trembling slightly.
"Prepare yourself…"
"We’re going to find our daughter."
Li Che said softly.
Zhang Ya’s breathing suddenly quickened, and the arm hugging Li Che’s arm burst with strength!
The aura of the Divine Armaments fused within her began to surge uncontrollably, with overwhelming divine energy surging forth.
Li Che smiled and circled his Fivefold Heart Divinity, suppressing Zhang Ya’s turbulent aura.
With her beloved’s approval, Zhang Ya immediately cheered up, her eyes welling with tears.
Although not much time had passed, Zhang Ya’s longing for her daughter was profound.
The last time she received the Nine Dragon Ten Thousand Calamities Gas from the Jade Emperor Huatian Mystic Temple, according to the rules, Li Che still needed to obtain a second Divine Armament to enter the Jiutian Shidi.
The forty-nine days were drawing near, and Li Che was about to begin his preparations.
Of course, before that, Li Che needed to resolve some matters in the mortal world.
In the Cloudy Heavens Hall.
Li Che sat in a high seat, enveloped in a mysterious mist, with golden radiant light intertwining, making him appear both hazy and powerful.
With a flick of his finger, chess pieces shot out, twisting and expanding in mid-air, gradually forming various figures.
Xie Yunshen, dressed in a simple robe, holding a feather fan and wearing a headband, bowed with enthusiasm, "Lord!"
In addition, there were numerous other soul summonings, including the Great Shaman.
Li Che planned to leave most of his soul summonings in the mortal world.
Of course, there were exceptions, such as the Young Dragon Emperor, who possessed the first-generation bloodline of Immortality, and Su Da, who specially served Zhang Ya through soul summoning. There were also several special soul summonings, like Gu Yin, the Master of Poisons, and Gu Changqing, the Alchemy Saint, who served functional roles. Additionally, there was the yellow sword wine ball, which was absorbing Dao Essence Crystals and transforming into a god. Li Che planned to take all of them with him.
Entering the Jiutian Shidi would sever Li Che's connection with the Mortal World. These soul summonings would not be of much help in the Jiutian Shidi, so it was best to leave them in the Mortal World to stabilize the base.
The eighteen-petaled Golden Lotus of Fortune, formed from the mortal world's fortune, was a fallback for Li Che. Moreover, he had promised the Grand Superintendent that he would not let the mortal world fall into chaos after gathering its fortune.
The world's division and unification were part of a grand trend. However, the numerous soul summonings revered Li Che as their supreme ruler. When he instructed them to stabilize the mortal world, they naturally followed his command. After Li Che announced his decision, none of the soul summonings objected. They did not dare to.
"Xie Yunshen."
"Your servant is here!"
Xie Yunshen clasped his fists, his expression solemn.
"The mortal world's fortune is now set, but establishing a kingdom is easier than maintaining it."
"Guard the mortal world's kingdom and stabilize its fortune."
Li Che slowly rose from the high platform, his formidable aura sweeping through the palace, exerting a unique pressure on the soul summonings, like a mountainous presence. It was as if a supreme divine king was overseeing his gods.
Perhaps this could be considered the first true gathering of the Underworld's gods.
Xie Yunshen's eyes burned with fervor. "My lord, even if Xie Yunshen is torn apart, I will not let the mortal world's mountains and rivers fall apart!"
The other soul summonings, including the leaders of the three divine factions, heavenly guardians, and Pagoda-Bearing Arhats, all earnestly upheld Li Che's will.
"After this, each of you will return to your respective divine factions and stabilize them, maintaining normal operations."
Li Che began to arrange matters in the mortal world. The gods listened attentively, and once everything was settled, Li Che dispersed his Aura of Power and sat down again.
"My lord... the old Da Li Empire is a thing of the past. Now, can we establish a new dynasty and prison?"
Xie Yunshen clasped his fists and asked.
Li Che's divine eyes, deep like a starry sky, swept over Xie Yunshen, and he smiled lightly. "As you wish."
"Dismissed."
In the Yunxiao Hall, the numerous soul summonings all clasped their fists and performed solemn salutes. They willingly showed respect to Li Che, not only because they were his soul summonings but also because Li Che had given them a second life. Although most of them had been killed by Li Che himself, they would have died eventually. Now, as soul summonings, they possessed the traits of immortality and could even achieve eternal life, pursuing higher realms of transcendence.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
After the soul summonings respectfully saluted, they transformed into radiant light and shot out of the palace, heading to various parts of the mortal world. The leaders of the three divine factions and other godly beings entered the mortal world's mystic realm, their forms obscured by mysterious fog.
Li Che stood in the palace, hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering like a black lotus in the wind. Watching the soul summonings disperse, he exhaled slowly.
He wondered how much they would grow the next time they met. Without his restrictions, these soul summonings might grow like wild grass, flourishing wildly.
"But... I wonder if they will devour each other to grow stronger?"
Li Che's gaze narrowed slightly. However, he did not dwell on this issue for long.
Li Che took Zhang Ya and left the capital. In an instant, they arrived at Qianyuan Dao City.
A heavy rain was falling in Qianyuan Dao City. The rain soaked the blue stone slabs of the Qianyuan Divine Sect, and the white jade archway at the foot of the mountain still stood tall. Lu Qiankun, the patriarch of the Qianyuan Sect, was in seclusion within.
Li Che glanced at him and snapped his fingers, sending a flash of insight that merged into the small cave heaven. As for how far Lu Qiankun would advance in the future, it would depend on his destiny.
The couple entered the divine sect, which remained as it had always been. On the hillside, the outer sect was bustling. Grand Elder Jiao Shaoqiu was teaching a group of newly recruited prodigies, guiding them in the principles of cultivation within the divine sect.
Li Chengzhou, holding a sword, maintained a stern face despite the playful tugging of a few adorable young prodigies.
Now, his status within the Qianyuan Divine Sect was far from ordinary. With Li Che’s guidance, his position had soared.
Li Che held Zhang Ya, raindrops falling from the sky and scattering around the couple.
"Chengzhou... He’s starting to look more and more like the eldest disciple."
Pillar Ya leaned against Li Che, smiling warmly.
She had watched Li Chengzhou grow up, her eyes filled with affection.
"Darling, shall we go see Shiqing?"
Zhang Ya was somewhat reluctant to part with Li Shiqing.
Li Che, of course, did not refuse. He took Zhang Ya to the Li family residence, which had been moved to the outer sect.
Several months old, Li Shiqing was crawling around in the spacious area under the eaves.
Her uncle and aunt watched over the little girl, fearing she might bump into something.
Suddenly, Li Shiqing raised her adorable, delicate face, her big eyes twinkling as she looked in the direction where Li Che and Zhang Ya stood, waving her little hands and feet.
Her uncle and aunt saw nothing and thought the little girl was just being whimsical.
However, Li Che soon revealed his presence, much to the old couple’s surprise and delight.
Li Zhengran and Liu Chunming, upon hearing the news, hurried over as well.
Li Che did not let them spread the news, only gathering with his family for a small reunion.
Holding little Li Shiqing, Li Che felt a bit dazed, as if he were holding Xi Xi nine years ago. Time had flown by so quickly; Xi Xi was already nine years old, a big girl who had left her parents to enter the unfamiliar Jiutian Shidi.
Li Shiqing squinted, snuggling against Li Che’s shoulder, clinging tightly, enjoying the moment.
Li Che gently stroked the little girl, using the Fivefold Heart Divinity to cleanse her body.
"Little one, I hope you grow up as safely and happily as your sister Xi Xi."
Li Che smiled softly, uttering a heartfelt wish.
Then, he clenched his fingers, weaving a world of supreme ferocity in his palm, not letting a single bit of it escape. Slowly, it condensed into a black bead, which he strung on a red thread and hung around Li Shiqing’s neck.
Li Shiqing immediately picked up the bead, her big eyes reflecting the image of the supreme ferocious beast, Mighty Force Zhu Huai, as if she could see it hidden within the bead.
The great black bull also opened its eyes wide, staring into the little girl’s eyes.
Li Shiqing let out a delighted squeal.
Li Che had no intention of taking the supreme ferocious beast Mighty Force Zhu Huai away, leaving it as a safeguard for Li Shiqing.
Although Li Che had instructed Xie Yunshen to ensure Li Shiqing’s absolute safety in the mortal world, nothing was ever certain.
As Li Shiqing grew older, her soul would gradually connect with Mighty Force Zhu Huai, eventually forming a complete bond.
In addition, Li Che left some legacies within Li Shiqing’s soul.
The Eight-ninth Mystic Technique, a martial art, was etched into Li Shiqing’s soul, along with the self-created martial art, Dragon Elephant Furnace, and the second Heaven and Earth Ancient Rune he had condensed...
This was to ensure that the little girl would inherit his Wu Xian legacy.
As for how far she would progress, Li Che did not know.
Perhaps one day in the future, this little girl might even come to Jiutian Shidi?
Liu Chunming, his sister-in-law, seemed to sense Li Che and Zhang Ya’s impending departure.
"A Che, Xiao Ya... Are you leaving?"
Liu Chunming couldn’t help but ask.
Zhang Ya nodded, her lips pressed together, taking Li Shiqing from Li Che’s arms.
"You will definitely find Xi Xi!"
"Your family will surely reunite!"
Liu Chunming said earnestly.
Li Che and Zhang Ya exchanged a smile, their eyes soft.
"Thank you for your kind words, sister-in-law."
The meal was cooked by his aunt and sister-in-law, Liu Chunming, who had not cooked for a long time as the Li family grew.
After the meal, Li Che took Zhang Ya and left.
The couple’s figures vanished into the rain and wind.
Later, the Qianyuan Divine Sect’s high-ranking members, including Lv Tai Bai and Xuan Qisha, learned of their departure and rushed over.
Li Che had shielded everyone’s perception, not bidding farewell to the sect members, thus avoiding the sorrow of parting.
The heavy rain washed over the world.
Lv Tai Bai bowed toward the misty rain.
"May the mountains be high and the waters long."
"Until we meet again in the rivers and lakes!"
Lv Tai Bai, holding the sect mistress who had grown after the curse was broken, his eyes shimmering with anticipation.
"There is nothing in this world he cannot accomplish."
"He will surely find Xi Xi."
Lv Tai Bai’s lips curved into a smile.
Perhaps the most proud and glorious thing in his life...
Was taking Xi Xi as his disciple, and...
Once protecting Li Che.
