Chapter 547: Identity Exposed, Siege on Yulian's Daughter, No Distance Barrier for the Couple to Finally See Their Daughter (Part 2)
Hum—!!!
Li Che gathered his thoughts, immediately sensing the surging Great Way Long River in the sky above Xuan Mountain.
Then, beams of light descended upon each person.
The nine divine carvings came to life, like nine powerful figures simultaneously extending their palms to support everyone.
Space began to warp, and a powerful force surged through everyone’s hearts.
……
……
Whooosh—
The seven-colored Radiant Light kept changing, like a fleeting glimpse of a galloping horse.
When everything finally cleared, the group, who had been holding their breath, finally exhaled in relief.
The divine spatial array had successfully traversed the void!
Li Che estimated that they had moved about ten thousand miles in just a moment!
This was a grand relocation on the level of array techniques.
Time passed slowly.
Xuan Li and the other two Divine Path officials continuously drew out their divine essence to maintain the energy required for the nine divine carvings to move.
Activating such an array required an immense amount of divine essence. Insufficient cultivation would likely render it impossible to activate.
One Path Severing and two Divine Path officials were just enough.
"We are about to penetrate the Realm Barrier."
Suddenly,
Xuan Li opened his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
"Everyone, suppress your Divine Spirit Thoughts; not a trace must be revealed!"
After his words,
Everyone in the teleportation array suppressed their soul, divine spirit, and thoughts.
Li Che also reined in his Divine Spirit Thought, confining it to the mud pill palace between his eyebrows.
For, in the instant they penetrated the Realm Barrier,
Li Che felt an overwhelmingly terrifying will, as if he saw the chaotic spatial currents sweeping through the void.
A figure sat in meditation, slowly opening its eyes.
A terrifying Divine Spirit Thought, like a vast continent floating in the void, crashed down.
It was powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth!
"Immortality!"
"True Immortal Will!"
Li Che took a deep breath, his expression grave.
The oppressive aura that darkened the heavens and made everything lose its luster was truly terrifying!
It was an Immortality god in existence!
Indeed, there was an Immortality sitting at the Realm Barrier. If he were to forcefully penetrate it, he would likely draw the Immortality’s attention.
However, under the teleportation array, the Immortality did not pay much attention, and the powerful Immortal Will did not sweep over.
After passing through the Realm Barrier without incident,
The spatial array gradually slowed down.
"We have arrived at the Divine Treasure Heaven. The venue for this year’s Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle is located in the Divine Treasure City of the Divine Treasure Heaven."
Xuan Li’s voice echoed.
The Divine Treasure Heaven!
One of the heavens controlled by Hei Xumi in the pantheon of gods.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were mostly divided among the three major pantheons, as they had produced multiple Immortalities. Only with Immortalities presiding could a heaven be stabilized.
Hei Xumi controlled three heavens: the Divine Treasure Heaven, the Formless Heaven, and the Helu Heaven.
The remaining Beidou, Yuanlei, and Divine Artisan heavens were controlled by the Mystic Demon Grotto.
As for the final domain, "Hell Lotus", it belonged to the Hell Lotus faction and had yet to be conquered by the three major pantheons.
Rumble—
The divine essence in the array began to dissipate.
The light on the nine divine carvings dimmed, and the Great Dao Divine Patterns that had formed the array patterns in the air slowly returned to the carvings.
When they were fully returned, the spatial teleportation array disintegrated, returning to a state of calm.
They had arrived!
Li Che’s heart trembled. Even he could not help but feel a surge of excitement at this moment.
His mind calmed, and the heaven and earth chessboard instantly emerged from his brow, rising into the sky and expanding to envelop the heavens and earth.
Li Che began to sense Xi Xi’s situation through the Thunder Chess Piece.
However, Li Che soon felt a sense of disappointment.
Xi Xi’s ancient village had successfully advanced to the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle, but it had not yet been teleported.
Xuan Li led the group away from the teleportation array.
Upon entering the Divine Treasure Heaven, Li Che immediately felt the dense and unceasing aura of Buddhist light. This light was far more brilliant than that of the Western Buddhist Land in the mortal world, even having a heavy, soul-shaking impact.
It seemed as if a single thought could bring one to conversion.
The cultivators from the ancient villages under the Obscure Heavenly Court quickly gathered together. The ancient villages from the Mystic Dawn Heaven, Primal Essence Heaven, and Ethereal Heaven numbered over four hundred in total. And this was just the number of ancient villages under the Obscure Heavenly Court’s jurisdiction.
Xuan Li kept his distance from Li Che, even though he had become Li Che’s soul summon. At the moment, he chose to hide his identity.
The Divine Treasure City was incredibly vast, built atop a mountain that had been leveled at the waist by a terrifying force. At the center of the city stood an ancient temple, adorned with countless golden pagodas, each containing a lifelike golden divine sculpture.
Li Che glanced at these divine sculptures, his heart trembling. The skill and craftsmanship displayed by these sculptures were on par with, if not superior to, his own.
Divine Sculptors!
The Black Sumeru faction, with its Divine Sculptor, was indeed extraordinary.
The Divine Treasure City was immense. After the cultivators from the ancient villages were guided in, they were housed in inns within the city. However, the inn’s prices were exorbitant, at ten Four Deity Divine Crystals per day, which was astonishing.
But they had no choice but to stay, as the city did not allow vagrants after nightfall. Cultivators who did not have a place to stay would be expelled by the Black Sumeru cultivators.
For Li Che, this amount of Divine Crystals was nothing.
He and Zhang Ya stayed in a luxurious room, both eagerly awaiting Xi Xi’s arrival, looking forward to seeing their daughter.
Time passed slowly, and the couple settled into the inn.
Li Che practiced in the room, studying the Nine Joints of Heavenly Artisan and various divine tenon structures to enhance his divine sculpture skills. He planned to participate in the Divine Artisan Assembly and secretly assist Heavenly Forge, so he needed to improve his own abilities.
Additionally, Li Che had the insights from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Guo, which he had yet to use. These insights could enhance his Martial Arts Xian Immortal realm and improve his proficiency in various Mystic Seed Martial Arts.
He aimed to elevate his Mystic Seed Martial Arts to the realm of perfection.
Li Che believed that to advance from the Xian Immortal Flame Realm to the Xian Immortal Dao Integration Realm, he needed to perfect all his Mystic Seed Martial Arts.
Both Xian Martial and the Great Dao needed to be perfected, perhaps only then could he attempt to open the heavens!
The Aura of Power of a true Immortal he had encountered in the Realm Barrier was still vivid in his memory. The overwhelming pressure was something his current Xian Immortal self could not withstand.
“Only at the Martial Arts Heavenly Immortal level can one stand against an Immortal.”
Li Che slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Just as he finished his study and practice of the Nine Joints of Heavenly Artisan,
Zhang Ya returned to the room, holding Little Su Da, her face flushed with anger.
“What’s wrong?”
Li Che asked with a smile.
Zhang Ya’s expression was terrible, her anger not subsiding.
“Husband… there’s a Divine Gambling Battle in the inn’s hall, where anyone can place bets. They also sell information, and I found information about Xi Xi.”
“They directly labeled it as ‘Daughter of Hell Lotus,’ and it’s selling like hotcakes, almost everyone has a copy.”
“They even say they want to ruin the ancient village Xi Xi represents, making it lose all its bets!”
Zhang Ya was furious. Anything involving Xi Xi, her daughter, set her off.
Li Che’s eyes also darkened. After a moment, he sensed something and Xuan Li arrived, bringing a piece of intelligence.
“Lord, the Daughter of Hell Lotus has a special identity. Although she disguised herself, her information has already been exposed.”
“The consensus among the three major divine factions is to oppress the Daughter of Hell Lotus, pushing her to grow and forcing her to fully activate the Prison Lotus Curse, thus controlling her will. Therefore, in the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle, they will ensure she doesn’t win, making the village she represents lose all its bets.”
“It’s not just that…”
“The cultivators from the Earth Village will not be allowed to live. They will die for the Daughter of Hell Lotus, their deaths used to stimulate her.”
“Moreover, the young demon emperor Fu Shaoxi from the Mystic Cavern has already headed to the Earth Village, planning to personally slaughter the village and leave one survivor to spread the news, to further provoke the Daughter of Hell Lotus.”
Xuan Li explained.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ya’s face turned pale, and her body trembled with rage.
“How can they do this?!”
She could imagine how Xi Xi would feel if she learned that the villagers of Earth Village had died because of her, the immense guilt and emotional trauma she would suffer!
Xuan Li’s expression was also helpless. “My lady, this is the rule of the Nine Heavens…”
“In the Nine Heavens, there are no secrets. The goal of the three major divine factions is to force the young mistress into an absolute predicament, merging the Prison Lotus Curse and transforming her into the executioner of the Will of Heaven and Earth, completing the eighth Divine Tide’s harvest… and then reincarnating to trigger the ninth Divine Tide.”
Li Che's expression gradually turned cold.
"Lord, according to our intelligence, the Earth Village, which Little Miss represents, is located in the Beidou Heaven and falls under the jurisdiction of the Mystic Demon Grotto... That's why the young emperor, Fu Shaohui, went there in person."
"Earth Village isn't weak; it's an ancient village of the Three Purities, and it has a Nirvana King guarding it, which is why Fu Shaohui decided to go himself."
"Not only Fu Shaohui, but also the young emperor of the Dark Celestial Palace, Ji Shaohao, and Shi Shaokai of the Black Sumeru will be going there as well."
"They need to... become entangled in the karmic ties with the Daughter of Hell Lotus."
Xuan Li relayed all the information he had gathered to Li Che.
"Regarding this Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle... everything has been arranged for Little Miss. The holy sons and daughters from the ancient villages of the Three Purities have been dispatched to obstruct and deal with her."
Li Che nodded, slowly exhaling.
He seemed to understand the situation Xi Xi was facing.
Surrounded on all sides, targeted comprehensively!
However, it was understandable...
Xi Xi, the Daughter of Hell Lotus, came from the mortal world, like an outsider entering the locals' territory. Naturally, she would face the united opposition of the locals as she tried to earn gambling funds.
Moreover, many ancient villages had reached an agreement with the three major divine factions.
"Continue gathering information..."
Li Che instructed Xuan Li.
Xuan Li bowed and left the room.
The atmosphere in the room fell silent once again.
"The current situation is... the three major divine factions, along with the top ancient villages, are trying to force Xi Xi to turn dark, be consumed by the Hell Lotus Curse, and transform into the true Daughter of Hell Lotus to carry out the Will of Heaven and Earth."
"Earth Village, the Third Prince, and Heavenly Forge... they are all targets to provoke Xi Xi."
"At this critical juncture, if we were to reunite with Xi Xi, we would certainly be targeted and become a burden to her."
Zhang Ya remained silent for a long time before looking at Li Che, her lips trembling as she spoke.
Li Che was surprised to see his wife understand the situation so clearly.
"Little Su Da analyzed it with me..." Zhang Ya explained.
Li Che smiled, now understanding why his wife had suddenly become so perceptive.
"Hubby... do you think we should still reunite with Xi Xi?"
"If we reunite with Xi Xi, we will become a burden to her... and we will also become targets for the divine factions. If we get hurt or something happens to us, Xi Xi will..."
"So... hubby, let's not reunite with Xi Xi for now."
Zhang Ya said, her heart aching as if it were being torn apart. Her eyes welled up with tears.
Li Che sighed softly, understanding how painful it must be for his wife, who had hoped for so long, to make such a decision and say such words.
However, at this critical moment, reuniting with Xi Xi would only bring her trouble and complications.
He gently stroked Zhang Ya's hair.
"Dear, actually... we can find a way to let Xi Xi know we are here, watching over her."
"Given Xi Xi's intelligence, she should be able to figure out the situation quickly."
"Then, we can find an opportunity... to avoid the surveillance of the three major divine factions and secretly reunite with Xi Xi."
Li Che said.
"One day... I will break all obstacles and reunite our family openly!"
Li Che's words were firm and filled with determination.
However, just as Li Che finished speaking, his breathing suddenly quickened.
"She's here!"
Zhang Ya was taken aback.
"Huh?"
"Xi Xi... is here!"
Holding Zhang Ya's slender waist, Li Che's mind raced.
In the next moment, he and Zhang Ya disappeared from the inn, reappearing on the enormous teleportation platform in Divine Treasure City.
On the platform...
Radiant light flowed.
The seventy-two villages from Beidou Heaven participating in the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling Battle all appeared.
The platform was already surrounded by a dense crowd.
The purpose of these people gathering here was simple: to see the legendary Daughter of Hell Lotus.
Therefore, Li Che and Zhang Ya's appearance in the crowd went unnoticed.
Li Che felt the pull of the Thunder Chess Piece, guiding Zhang Ya, and his gaze followed.
He saw Xi Xi walking confidently out on the platform.
She had two pigtails, wore a bright red robe, had a Cosmic Ring around her neck, and a Heavenly Silk sash tied around her waist.
This was entirely different from the projections seen through the heaven and earth chessboard.
Without the distance, Li Che and Zhang Ya's gazes were momentarily fixed.
