Chapter 543: Ascending the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Meeting Xi Xi at the Divine Duel's Peak (Part 2)
Ji Shaohao’s powerful Divine Spirit Thought leaped out, transforming into a golden true dragon, emitting an aura akin to that of an Ancestral Dragon. It swept across the mountains and rivers below, as well as the ancient village.
The Second Calamity Divine Tribulation in the ancient village was frightened to the point of fleeing in terror, kneeling on the ground.
Ji Shaohao glanced at him coldly.
Returning to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, his demeanor was completely different from that in the mysterious temple.
Proud, cold, and noble, he looked down upon the creatures in the ancient village as if they were mere ants that could be crushed at any moment.
His bloodline was that of the Immortality God Emperor, and he naturally possessed supreme nobility.
Li Che stood in the forest, hands behind his back, his black hair fluttering in the wind.
Even as Ji Shaohao’s Divine Spirit Thought repeatedly swept the area, it failed to detect his presence.
After several attempts, Ji Shaohao gave up. His body trembled, and with a loud crash, he shattered the void, like a waterfall crashing down, and vanished into the void, continuing his pursuit of Ksitigarbha.
Several other Path Severing gods followed him.
The area quickly returned to peace, the chaos subsiding.
Only then did Li Che step forward, hands behind his back, gliding gracefully.
The Second Calamity Divine Tribulation in the ancient village looked at him with surprise and suspicion. Upon seeing Li Che and sensing his Divine Embryo cultivation, he relaxed.
Li Che bowed and smiled, engaging in conversation.
This Second Calamity Divine Tribulation, perhaps intimidated by Ji Shaohao’s display, knew that Ji Shaohao’s grand mobilization was to find a supreme being. Therefore, he did not dare to underestimate this suddenly appearing Li Che, whose identity was shrouded in mystery, even though he was only at the Divine Embryo stage.
To survive in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, one must have keen judgment.
After a brief conversation, Li Che was invited into the ancient village.
“Brother Mo Che, your aura is extraordinary; you must be a disciple of a great power. It’s a fortunate day for the children of our Yunxiao Village to have you as their teacher.”
“Our Yunxiao Village is only a Fifth Elder rank village, far inferior to the Four Emperors and Three Purities rank villages… let alone those Second Sage ancient villages that can rival the divine factions.”
“I hope Brother Mo Che doesn’t mind.”
The old village chief, a Second Calamity Divine Tribulation named Yun He, stroked his beard and smiled, leading Li Che into the village.
The village was large, bustling with activity and prosperity, with various buildings lining the streets.
“Village Chief Yun, does Yunxiao Village participate in the Divine Gambling Battle?” Li Che asked.
“Of course, we do!” Yun He laughed.
He sighed, “In this world, if we don’t participate in the Divine Gambling Battle, relying solely on the divine essence from the village’s mysterious temple is far from enough… Moreover, the divine essence crystals produced by a Fifth Elder rank mysterious temple are barely enough to cultivate a Divine Tribulation.”
“We small villages all depend on the Divine Gambling Battle… to bet small and win big, gaining more resources.”
Yun He said.
“Brother Mo Che, have you heard the news that the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle is about to begin?”
Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle?
Li Che was slightly taken aback, his eyes suddenly brightening.
He had heard this familiar name before when watching Xi Xi’s daily life with Zhang Ya.
Xi Xi’s Earth Ancient Village was going to participate in the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle.
“Master, Master! We can participate in the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle to cross domains and meet Little Master at the Divine Gambling Battle venue! This way, we won’t attract the attention of the Immortality gods!”
Little Su Da’s excited voice echoed in Li Che’s mind.
Li Che raised an eyebrow, his eyes flickering.
"Village Chief Yun, to be honest..."
Li Che spoke sincerely, telling Yun He that he was here to find his lost daughter. Of course, he didn't mention that he came from the Mortal World. Instead, he fabricated a background story, claiming he was a disciple of a powerful god.
Yun He's face lit up even more upon hearing this.
"That's wonderful!"
"Just in time, Brother Moche can join the village's team for the Thousand Villages Divine Duel."
"The Thousand Villages Divine Duel is actually a general term. In reality, far more than a thousand villages participate in the Divine Duel."
"We, the ancient villages, are the original inhabitants of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. We have always lived by worshipping mysterious temples. However, when the divine factions swept through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and held talks with the ancient villages of the Two Saints and the Three Purities, establishing the Divine Duel, our resources became increasingly scarce..."
"Almost all the villages in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths participate. It's not just a thousand or even ten thousand villages!"
"Brother Moche, you definitely have a chance to find your daughter in the Divine Duel."
Yun He smiled.
Li Che smiled and bowed in response.
In the days that followed, Li Che joined Yunxiao Village and became a teacher for the village's prodigy children, guiding them in their cultivation.
"The Divine Duel has two categories: the prodigy duel and the divine realm duel... Our Yunxiao Village, being an ancient village of the Five Elders, worships the Five Elders' mysterious temple. In the divine realm duel, we have little hope of winning."
"The only way to win large amounts of resources through a multiplier is the prodigy duel!"
Yun He strolled through the village with Li Che, which was nestled among mountains and water. The village's spiritual energy was very rich, as if it had its own array to gather spiritual energy. At the center of the village stood a mysterious temple, shrouded in Mysterious Fog, emanating divine aura for cultivation.
"Yun Feng, Yun Lei, this is the teacher I've found for you. Master Moche is a disciple of a powerful god and has an extraordinary background... You must learn from Master Moche diligently."
Yun He led Li Che to the gathering place of the prodigies and called out a boy and a girl from the group.
Both were about nine years old. The boy was delicate, with lightning arcs dancing in his eyes. The girl was beautiful, her fiery red hair moving even in the absence of wind.
Li Che glanced at the two prodigies and couldn't help but exhale softly. The prodigies of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were far more rigorous than those in the Mortal World.
These two prodigies not only had remarkable constitutions but also possessed extremely high divine talents.
Yun He knew Li Che's background was extraordinary, so he directly introduced Li Che to the two children.
Yun Feng and Yun Lei weren't fools; no prodigy was. They were determined to win more resources for Yunxiao Village in the Divine Duel, to earn cultivation resources for their younger siblings.
Thus, they bowed sincerely, even kneeling before Li Che, seeking his guidance.
The Thousand Villages Divine Duel required a selection process, and if they failed to pass the initial screening, they would be ineligible to participate in the Divine Duel alongside other villages.
If Li Che couldn't pass the initial selection, he wouldn't have the chance to see Xi Xi in the Divine Duel.
Therefore, Li Che took the cultivation of these two prodigies seriously.
"Selection for the Thousand Villages Divine Duel is in a month. During this month, I will train you intensively. Don't complain or cry. The prodigies in the Divine Duel won't stop their attacks just because you complain or cry."
Li Che said calmly.
Yun Feng and Yun Lei replied earnestly, "Master Mo, we are not afraid of hardship! Yunxiao Village has lost the Divine Duel for several consecutive years, with no gains. Our resources are almost depleted. This year... we are the hope. We must win!"
The girl, Yun Feng, perhaps because she was a girl, seemed more mature.
Li Che nodded and then asked Yun He to arrange a secluded place for him to use and teach without disturbance.
Yun He didn't hesitate. He guessed that Li Che might be a powerful god disciple sought by the terrifying existence, Ji Shaohao, so he was very serious about it. He specially arranged an excellent location near the mysterious temple, nestled among mountains and water.
"Yun Feng's talent is slightly better than Yun Lei's... These two children are rare prodigies born in Yunxiao Village in recent years. They might help reduce the burden on the village's resources."
"But Yunxiao Village is too poor, with few resources. Even if we produce prodigies, it's hard to cultivate them..."
"I ask Master Mo to put in more effort."
"A small token of my appreciation."
By the lakeside, ripples spread across the water as Yun He sighed and spoke to Li Che.
After finishing, Yun He took out a gray cloth-wrapped object from his spatial jade and, like peeling an onion, revealed a divine crystal of the Three Purities rank, placing it in Li Che's hands.
Li Che was taken aback, his face twisted, and he pushed the divine crystal back to the old village chief, Yun He.
"I hope they can win and take me to the Thousand Villages Divine Duel to reunite with my daughter."
Li Che smiled, refusing Yun He's treasured divine crystal.
This thing...
Li Che's spatial realm was filled with mountains of divine crystals.
However, Li Che didn't directly take out these divine crystals to support Yunxiao Village.
The lack of resources was the motivation for Yun Feng and Yun Lei, and Li Che didn't want to break that motivation.
...
...
Time ticked by, one moment after another.
A month passed.
Li Che, in the luxurious courtyard arranged by Yun He, instructed and taught Yun Feng and Yun Lei in their cultivation.
Although Li Che didn’t actively give them divine crystals, he prepared divine carvings. Made from ordinary wood, these carvings, with Li Che’s current skill, were extraordinary and even surpassed the effects of divine crystals.
Li Che infused his cultivation insights into the carvings.
Yun Feng and Yun Lei were pleasantly surprised, never expecting that Mr. Mo was actually a master divine carver!
Moreover, the level of the divine carvings suggested that he was a saint-level divine carver!
In the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, the status of divine carvers was extremely prestigious.
Far more respected than they were in the mortal world, their status had soared!
After all, the divine carvings crafted by divine carvers were comparable to divine crystals...
The most basic cultivation resources!
When Yun He found out, he was overjoyed and immediately came to visit, expressing his gratitude profusely.
Afterward, Yun He no longer disturbed them, but personally delivered meals and delicacies every day.
Li Che sent Zhang Ya from Mo City to live with them in the courtyard.
"This is your shifu’s wife", Li Che said.
Yun Feng and Yun Lei, without any curiosity, respectfully greeted her.
Zhang Ya’s eyes were gentle as she looked at the two adorable kids, seeing a reflection of Xi Xi in them, and her heart was filled with joy.
With the title "shifu’s wife", Zhang Ya felt at ease and gave each of the two children a Three Pure Realms divine crystal.
This time, Li Che didn’t stop her.
Spring breezes blew, and the willows swayed gently.
The lake’s surface was like a mirror, rippling with circles.
Little Su Da lazily lay on a large willow tree, licking her white fur, yawned, then leaped up, landing on Zhang Ya’s shoulder like a spritely fairy while she was sitting by the lake, meditating.
In the distance,
Li Che sat in a rocking chair, legs crossed, instructing Yun Feng and Yun Lei, who had divine carvings on their heads.
The divine carvings contained special properties, heavy as small mountains, making every inch of Yun Feng and Yun Lei’s bodies tremble, their little faces flushed red.
Sssss—
Li Che held a piece of spirit wood in his hand, carving with a knife, and shavings fell softly, gradually forming the shape of a longbow.
Li Che truly treated Yun Feng and Yun Lei, these two self-motivated children, as his disciples.
During this month, Li Che mainly taught Yun Feng the Mystic Seed Martial Art [Blood-Weeping Divine Phoenix Withering Arrow], embedding this arrow technique within the divine carving. Yun Feng would learn the technique while visualizing the divine carving, and also receive the baptism of the Dao Reincarnation power of the Primordial Withering and Flourishing Branch.
Yun Lei was taught an improved version of the Mystic Seed Martial Art [Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique], receiving the baptism of the Primordial Star Shattering Thunder power of Dao Reincarnation.
In addition, Li Che taught them a simplified version of the [Eight-Ninth Mystic Technique], allowing the two children to cultivate the Eight Marvelous Gates divine seeds.
Through the explosion of the seeds, they would gain even more powerful divine energy.
However, this technique would mostly influence their future.
Cultivation improvement, under insufficient resources, was difficult to achieve rapidly in just a month.
Therefore, Li Che focused on martial arts, enhancing the two children’s martial prowess.
These two children definitely couldn’t follow the pure martial path or the Immortality Path, but they could still achieve significant accomplishments in the path of divine martial arts.
Divine martial arts were also martial arts, and Li Che was equally proficient in them.
With Li Che’s Immortal-level insight and guidance, and the help of his divine carvings, which had reached the level of a divine carver, their skills improved rapidly.
The month passed in the blink of an eye.
The preliminary round of the Thousand Villages Divine Duel began!
At the entrance of Lingxiao Village,
A thousand-year-old banyan tree, with dense and sprawling branches, stood tall.
The green river reflected the shadows of those participating in the Thousand Villages Divine Duel.
Village Chief Yun He led the group personally.
The villagers crowded at the entrance, waving goodbye.
Li Che and Zhang Ya rode on the back of a massive snake, its back wide and thick, even equipped with a canopy and a viewing platform. The village chief had hired this Earth Dragon Traveling Beast with precious resources, capable of traveling quickly.
They bid farewell to the villagers.
Village Chief Yun He soared into the air, his two-disaster divine tribulation aura revealed, leading the way forward.
Full of hope for the Thousand Villages Divine Duel!
"Let’s go!"
...
...
At the same time,
Li Che, through the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, watched the daily life of Xi Xi with Zhang Ya.
In the distant Earth Ancient Village,
Xi Xi also bid farewell to the villagers.
She set off on the journey for the Thousand Villages Divine Duel!
"Let’s go!"
Xi Xi rode on the head of the Earth Dragon Traveling Beast, facing the howling wind, her gaze intense, a pink mechanical cannon slung at her waist, her black hair flying in the wind, her crystal-clear face looking into the distance.
Her heart beat rapidly.
She had a feeling.
A premonition...
Father had come to find her!
