Chapter 547: Identity Exposed, Siege on the Daughter of the Prison Lotus, Long-Distance Couple Finally Reunites with Their Daughter [Request for Monthly Votes] (Part 2)
...
Whoosh—Whoosh—Whoosh—Whoosh—Whoosh—Whoosh—
The seven-colored light kept changing, like a whirlwind.
When everything finally cleared, the gathered cultivators, who had been holding their breath, finally exhaled in relief.
The divine sculpture Space array had traversed the void!
Li Che estimated that they had moved about ten thousand miles in just a short while. This was a significant spatial shift at the array level.
Time ticked by.
Xuan Li and the two Fusion Dao divine officials continuously drew out their divine energy to maintain the energy required for the nine divine sculptures’ movement. The amount of divine energy needed to activate such an array was immense, and insufficient cultivation would make it impossible to activate.
One Path-Cutting and two Fusion Dao cultivators were just enough.
"We are about to penetrate the realm barrier."
Suddenly,
Xuan Li opened his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
"Everyone, restrain your divine consciousness and prevent any leakage!"
When he finished speaking,
Everyone in the teleportation array reined in their souls and divine consciousness.
Li Che also suppressed his divine consciousness, keeping it within his Third Eye.
Because, at the moment of penetrating the realm barrier,
Li Che felt an overwhelmingly terrifying will, as if he had seen the void being swept by Space turbulence, with a figure sitting in the midst, slowly opening its eyes.
The terrifying divine consciousness, like a floating continent in the void, crashed down.
Enough to destroy heaven and earth!
"Immortal!"
"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 and color was truly terrifying!
It was a living Immortal Divine Being!
Indeed, the Realm Barrier was guarded by an immortal. If he were to forcefully penetrate it, he would likely attract the attention of an immortal.
However, under the Space Array's teleportation, that Immortal didn't pay much attention, and the powerful Immortal Will didn't scan the area.
After passing through the Realm Barrier without incident, the Space Array began to slow down.
"We've arrived at Divine Treasure Heaven. The venue for this year's Thousand Villages Divine Gambling War is located in Divine Treasure City."
Xuan Li's voice echoed.
Divine Treasure Heaven!
One of the heavens controlled by the Black Mount Sumeru faction in the pantheon.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are mostly divided among the three major pantheon factions, as these factions have multiple immortals who can suppress a heaven.
Black Mount Sumeru controls three heavens: Divine Treasure Heaven, Wuxiang Heaven, and Helu Heaven.
The remaining heavens—Beidou, Yuanlei, and Divine Artisan—are controlled by the Mysterious Demon Den.
As for the last place, "Prison Lotus", it belongs to the Prison Lotus faction and has yet to be conquered by the three major pantheon factions.
Rumbling—
The divine essence in the array began to gradually dissipate.
The light from the Nine Divine Sculptures dimmed, and the great divine engravings that formed the array patterns in the air slowly returned to the bodies of the Nine Divine Sculptures.
Once they were fully returned, the Space Teleportation Array crumbled and returned to calm.
They had arrived!
Li Che's heart trembled. Even he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at this moment.
His mind sank into stillness, and the Heaven and Earth Chessboard instantly emerged from his brow, rising into the sky and expanding to envelop the surroundings.
Li Che began to sense Xixi's situation through the Thunderbolt Chess Piece.
However, Li Che soon felt a bit disappointed.
Xixi's ancient village had successfully advanced to the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling War, but it had not yet arrived.
Xuan Li led the group away from the teleportation platform.
Upon entering Divine Treasure Heaven, Li Che immediately felt an incredibly dense aura of Buddhist light, surging continuously. This light was much more radiant than the Buddhist light in the human world, even having a weighty impact on the soul.
It felt as if one could be converted with a mere thought.
The many ancient village cultivators under the Dark Heavenly Court soon gathered together.
There were over four hundred ancient villages from the Xuanxiao Heaven, Taasu Heaven, and Taixu Heaven, and this was just from the Dark Heavenly Court faction.
Xuan Li kept his distance from Li Che, even though he had become Li Che's Bound Deity, he chose to hide his identity at this moment.
Divine Treasure City was incredibly vast, built on a high mountain. The mountain had been flattened at the waist by a terrifying force, creating a vast plain.
In the center of the city was an ancient temple, adorned with countless golden pagodas. Each pagoda housed a lifelike Golden Divine Sculpture.
Li Che glanced at these divine sculptures, his heart trembling at the skill and craftsmanship they displayed, which was no less impressive than his own.
Divine Sculpture Immortal!
Black Mount Sumeru, with its Divine Sculpture Immortal, was indeed extraordinary.
Divine Treasure City was vast, and the ancient village group was guided into the city and accommodated in an inn.
The price for staying at the inn was exorbitant, ten Four Emperors Divine Essence Crystals per day, which was quite shocking.
However, not staying was not an option, as once night fell, no vagrants were allowed in Divine Treasure City. Cultivators who did not have a place to stay would be expelled by Black Mount Sumeru's cultivators.
For Li Che, the cost of the divine essence crystals was nothing.
He and Zhang Ya stayed in a high-end room, both eagerly awaiting Xixi's arrival.
Time passed, and the couple settled into the inn.
Li Che practiced in the room, studying the "Heavenly Artisan Nine Mortise Sutra" and researching various divine mortise structures to improve his divine sculpture skills.
He planned to participate in the Divine Artisan Fair and secretly assist Qitian, so he needed to enhance his skills.
Additionally, Li Che had the enlightenment feedback from the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, which he had not yet used. This feedback could be used to enhance his Martial Dao Xian Immortal's strength and improve the proficiency of various Immortal Seed Martial Arts.
He aimed to elevate his Immortal Seed Martial Arts to the realm of mastery.
Li Che believed that to advance from the Xian Immortal Fire Realm to the Xian Immortal Dao Unification Realm, he needed to perfect his Immortal Seed Martial Arts.
To open heaven, both Immortal Martial and Great Dao needed to be perfected.
Seeing a true Immortal at the Realm Barrier, the terrifying aura still lingered in Li Che's memory. That oppressive feeling was something he, as a Xian Immortal, could not resist.
"Only at the Martial Dao Celestial Immortal level can one challenge an Immortal."
Li Che slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Just as he finished his practice and study of the Heavenly Artisan Nine Mortise Sutra, Zhang Ya returned to the room, holding little Su Da, looking angry.
"What happened?"
Li Che asked with a smile.
Zhang Ya's expression was very grim, her anger difficult to subside.
"Husband... In the inn's main hall, there are betting pools for the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling War, where anyone can place bets. There's also information for sale, and I saw information about Xixi."
"Her information is labeled as 'Prison Lotus's daughter,' and it's selling very well, almost everyone has a copy."
"Those people are saying they want to completely ruin the ancient village represented by Prison Lotus's daughter, making them lose all their bets!"
Zhang Ya was furious, as anything involving Xixi, her daughter, made her unable to control her emotions.
Li Che's eyes also grew deep, and a moment later, his mind moved.
Xuan Li arrived, delivering a piece of intelligence.
"Lord, the daughter of the Prison Lotus has a special identity. Although she has disguised herself, her information has already been exposed."
"The consensus among the three major divine factions is to oppress the daughter of the Prison Lotus, forcing her to grow and ultimately causing the Prison Lotus Curse to fully explode, thus controlling her will. Therefore, during the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling War, the goal is to ensure she does not win, making the Earth Village she represents lose all its bets."
"That's not all..."
"The cultivators of the Earth Village... will not survive. They will die because of the daughter of the Prison Lotus, their deaths used to provoke her."
"In fact, the young demon emperor of the Mysterious Demon Den, Fu Shaoxi, has already gone to the Earth Village, preparing to slaughter the entire village himself. He will leave one survivor to inadvertently spread the news, thus achieving the goal of provoking the daughter of the Prison Lotus."
Xuan Li said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ya's face turned deathly pale, her body trembling with rage.
"How can they do this?!"
She could imagine how guilty Xixi would feel if she learned that the villagers of the Earth Village had died because of her, the immense impact it would have on her heart!
Xuan Li's face also showed a hint of helplessness. "Lady, this is the rule of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths..."
"In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, no secret can be hidden. The goal of the three major divine factions is to force the young mistress into a desperate situation, to fuse with the Prison Lotus Curse, transforming her into the executioner of the Will of the Heavens and Earths, completing the eighth divine tide's harvest... and then reincarnate, initiating the ninth divine tide."
Li Che's face grew increasingly cold.
"Lord, according to intelligence, the Earth Village represented by the young mistress is located in the Beidou Heaven, a domain under the jurisdiction of the Mysterious Demon Den... which is why the young emperor Fu Shaoxi is personally going there."
"The Earth Village is not weak; it is a Sanqing Ancient Village, with a Nirvana Divine Being as its guardian. That's why Fu Shaoxi is taking personal action."
"It's not just Fu Shaoxi. The young emperor of the Dark Heavenly Court, Ji Shaohao, and the young emperor of Black Mount Sumeru, Shi Shaokai, will also be going."
"They need to... be tainted by the karma involving the daughter of the Prison Lotus."
Xuan Li relayed all the information he had gathered to Li Che.
"Regarding this Thousand Villages Divine Gambling War... the young mistress has already been arranged for. The holy sons and holy daughters of the Sanqing Ancient Villages have been dispatched to intercept and deal with her."
Li Che nodded, slowly exhaling.
He seemed to understand the situation Xixi was facing.
Surrounded on all sides, completely targeted!
However, it was understandable...
Xixi, the daughter of the Prison Lotus, was an outsider in this world, like a stranger entering the locals' territory. Trying to earn gambling funds naturally invited the locals' united opposition.
Moreover, many ancient villages had reached a consensus with the three major divine factions.
"Continue gathering intelligence..."
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, want to force Xixi to turn dark, to be consumed by the Prison Lotus Curse, transforming her into the true daughter of the Prison Lotus and carrying out the execution of the Heavens and Earths."
"The Earth Village, the Third Prince, and Qitian... are all targets to provoke Xixi."
"At this critical juncture, if we were to reunite with Xixi, we would certainly be targeted and become a burden to her."
Zhang Ya was silent for a long time. She looked at Li Che and bit her lip before speaking.
Li Che was surprised to see his wife understand so much.
"Little Su Da analyzed it for me..." Zhang Ya said.
Li Che smiled, no wonder his wife suddenly seemed so wise.
"Husband... do you think we should still reunite with Xixi?"
"If we reunite with Xixi, we will be a burden to her... and we will become targets for the divine factions. If we get hurt or something happens to us, Xixi will..."
"So... husband, let's not reunite with Xixi for now."
Zhang Ya said, her heart aching as if even breathing had become difficult.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
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 juncture, reuniting with Xixi would only bring her trouble and complications.
He gently stroked Zhang Ya's hair.
"Dear, actually... we can find a way to let Xixi know we have arrived and are always watching over her."
"Given Xixi's intelligence, she should be able to quickly figure out the situation."
"Then, we can find an opportunity... to avoid the scrutiny of the three major divine factions and secretly reunite with Xixi."
Li Che said.
"One day... I will break all obstacles and let our family reunite 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.
"What?"
"Xixi... is here!"
Holding Zhang Ya's slender waist, Li Che's mind raced.
In the next moment, they vanished from the inn, reappearing on the enormous teleportation platform in Divine Treasure City.
On the platform...
A radiant light enveloped the area.
The seventy-two villages from Beidou Heaven participating in the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling War all appeared.
The platform was surrounded by a dense crowd.
Their purpose was simple: to see the legendary daughter of the Prison Lotus.
Thus, when Li Che and Zhang Ya appeared in the crowd, they did not stand out.
Li Che sensed the pull of the Thunderbolt Chess Piece, guiding Zhang Ya, and his gaze followed.
He saw Xixi on the platform.
With two high pigtails, wearing a bright red robe, a Cosmic Circle around her neck, and a Heavenly Silk Belt around her waist, she walked out with her head held high.
This was completely different from the images seen through the projections of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
Without the distance, Li Che and Zhang Ya's gazes were momentarily fixed.
