Chapter 554: A Bountiful Harvest of Dao Fruits—Netherworld Lady Meng’s Debut, Deciphering the Teleportation Platform to Gain Freedom [Monthly Votes Requested] (Part 2)
As the main city of the Divine Treasury, controlled by the Black Sumi divine faction, it was naturally guarded by a Nirvana King.
Thus, under the immense pressure of the Nirvana King, the Chess Saint Dao Fruit had gained significant improvement.
Inside the inn, Zhang Ya had already finished her cultivation and was sitting in the room, holding little Su Da, the white fox, and staring out the window, lost in thought.
She dared not leave the room, fearing that she might see Xixi and be overwhelmed by her longing.
Recently, Xixi had even come to the inn's entrance, wandering around. Zhang Ya had seen her and felt her heart tighten.
"Lord, have you finished your cultivation?"
Zhang Ya's eyes brightened when she saw Li Che finish his practice.
She knew that Li Che was working hard to ensure their family could reunite without fear of the divine factions' threats.
Therefore, she did not often show her sorrow in front of Li Che.
Li Che smiled and embraced his wife, gently rubbing her head.
With his keen perception, he instantly understood her unhappiness.
"Xiaoya, if you truly miss Xixi, go see her. It's okay. Even if we are noticed, it won't be a big problem. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."
Zhang Ya shook her head repeatedly.
"Lord, that's too dangerous. We are Xixi's parents, the greatest concern in the heart of the Lotus Prison Daughter. If our identities are exposed, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will be shaken, and the three major divine factions, along with the two ancient clans, will mobilize all their power to kill us."
"Like the Third Prince and the Qitian Temple God, who have strong ties to the Lotus Prison Daughter, they are being hunted by the three major divine factions. If we are exposed, being pursued by Nirvana Kings would be a normal situation, and there might even be immortals involved!"
Zhang Ya's expression was very serious.
She knew her lord was powerful, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn't surpass an immortal in a short time.
If an immortal were to intervene, it would indeed be very dangerous.
Zhang Ya knew that what her lord needed was time.
A little patience now would ensure their family's long-term reunion. Zhang Ya understood this very well!
Li Che smiled. Zhang Ya was right; exposing their identities would indeed bring such risks.
The parents of the Lotus Prison Daughter...
In this world of divine tides, the Lotus Prison Daughter, who had no parents in her previous life, had parents who somehow survived until now. The emotional bond between them must be incredibly strong.
To make the Lotus Prison Daughter turn dark, it would be easy—just kill her parents, and it would successfully push her into darkness, accepting the curse!
Li Che thought for a moment and came up with a plan.
He would create a new identity for Zhang Ya.
With a flick of his fingers, a piece of divine wood came into his hand, radiating a vast divine aura. A carving knife slipped into his grasp, and as it glided over the wood, shavings flew.
A mask as thin as a cicada's wing, shimmering with infinite starlight, appeared in Li Che's hand. Just one glance at it seemed to make one forget their memories.
"Put on this mask. It's inscribed with a mechanical divine seal that can shield your aura. Unless an immortal divine being descends with their immortal will to probe, no one will see through the disguise", Li Che said.
This mask, crafted by Li Che, was already a high-tier divine weapon of the Four Sovereigns level. Moreover, he had fused an ancient heaven and earth rune into it, endowing it with extraordinary power.
"You can go see Xixi with this mask on. Let Little Suda accompany you."
Zhang Ya still hesitated a bit. "Will I really not be discovered?"
"If you are discovered, there's nothing we can do. It would mean an immortal divine being has descended, and the disguise would be meaningless. So, go with peace of mind."
Li Che smiled.
Zhang Ya was genuinely happy. She put on the mask, and her aura immediately became concealed, distorted by the powerful mechanical divine seal and the ancient heaven and earth rune.
She spun around once, then picked up Little Suda and set off happily to find Xixi.
"Lord, what identity should I use to see Xixi?"
Zhang Ya asked curiously at the door.
"Use the name... Lady Meng of the Netherworld."
Li Che thought for a moment and replied.
Lady Meng of the Netherworld?
Zhang Ya tilted her head, her eyes brightening. She seemed to understand.
The name Lady Meng wasn't important; what mattered was the prefix "Netherworld." With that, Xixi might guess her identity.
Zhang Ya left the inn with Suda, and soon encountered Xixi, who was lingering at the door. Xixi was accompanied by her brother and sister, Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu.
Zhang Ya's appearance immediately caught their attention.
Xixi was instantly drawn to Zhang Ya. Her eyes flickered, and her heart raced.
The figure holding the white fox gave her a strong sense of familiarity, and her heart trembled, as if it was making a guess.
"Is this... Mother?"
Xixi couldn't help but think. It was a feeling of blood connection!
When Xixi heard the name "Lady Meng of the Netherworld", she immediately understood.
It had to be her mother!
Li Che watched from a distance as Zhang Ya interacted with Xixi, a smile spreading across his face.
The village chief of Cloud Peak Village, Yun He, appeared. Upon learning that Li Che had emerged from seclusion, he rushed over.
"Mr. Moche, the thousand-village divine gambling battle has concluded. We should return to Cloud Peak Village."
"This return will be a triumph."
Yun He was very excited.
Cloud Peak Village had been the biggest winner in this thousand-village divine gambling battle. They had gained a vast amount of resources, enough to elevate Cloud Peak Village to the level of an ancient village of the Four Sovereigns.
Additionally, the abilities displayed by Yun Feng and Yun Lei were evident to all.
"Mr. Moche, I know you won't be confined to Cloud Peak Village, so... I'm here to bid you farewell."
"I hope Yun Feng and Yun Lei can follow you in cultivation."
Yun He said earnestly.
Li Che, however, shook his head. "Who said I'm leaving Cloud Peak Village?"
Ah?
Yun He was taken aback.
Then, his face lit up with joy.
Yun Feng and Yun Lei, who had been feeling down, also brightened their eyes.
"Teacher! Are you coming back to the village with us?!"
Even the mature and calm Yun Feng couldn't help but get excited.
Li Che ruffled her hair and nodded slightly.
In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Li Che needed a base, and Cloud Peak Village was perfect. As the first village he encountered after ascending to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it left a good impression on him.
Moreover, he needed to participate in the Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly organized by Laojun, and he couldn't just sign up as a rootless wanderer. He could join under the name of Cloud Peak Village's divine craftsman.
Additionally, Li Che was concerned that his identity might attract powerful beings who could endanger Cloud Peak Village. Therefore, he planned to strengthen the village, turning it into an ancient village of divine craftsmen, to face the various threats in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
In the distance, Tuoba Ye stood with his hands behind his back, approaching.
As a Dao-severing divine being, Tuoba Ye's presence was incredibly intimidating.
Yun He felt suppressed before such a being, his face pale, and his attitude more respectful.
"If you don't mind, why don't you join our Cloud Peak Village team and return with us?" Li Che looked at Tuoba Ye and said.
This had been discussed between them beforehand.
Earth Village had already faced a powerful attack from the three major divine factions, and it was likely in danger.
Therefore, Tuoba Ye couldn't take Xixi, Tuoba Li, and Tuoba Xiu back to Earth Village.
So, after discussing with Li Che, he decided to go to Cloud Peak Village.
Of course...
Not together.
Tuoba Ye planned to entrust Xixi, Tuoba Li, Tuoba Xiu, and the Dao-fusion divine being, Tuoba Hu, to Li Che, and have them all go to Cloud Peak Village.
As for himself...
He would return to the village.
Yun He instantly understood, his expression complex.
The daughter of the Nether Lotus...
Mr. Moche, are you planning to bring the daughter of the Nether Lotus to Cloud Peak Village?
A symbol of calamity, the executioner of Cosmic Will in the mortal world, a cursed existence destined to slay immortal divine beings!
Can Cloud Peak Village accommodate such a powerful figure?
But Yun He gritted his teeth and agreed!
As the village chief of Cloud Peak Village, he had the authority to make decisions for the villagers. The hope and opportunities Li Che brought to Cloud Peak Village meant that taking some risks was necessary.
Moreover, Mr. Moche is also in Cloud Peak Village...
For some reason, Yunhe had an unshakable trust in Li Che that came from the depths of his soul.
Even if they were to face true calamity, with Mr. Moche’s protection, Cloud Peak Village should be safe.
Tuoba Ye looked at Yunhe, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
He was decisive, without a moment’s hesitation. Such a person, as the village chief, was a stroke of luck for Cloud Peak Village.
Since he had chosen to stake everything, there would be no room for doubt.
Any hesitation would only diminish Li Che’s perception and bring nothing but harm to Cloud Peak Village.
After this incident, Cloud Peak Village would essentially be tied to Mr. Moche.
If the three major divine factions were to truly settle scores, Cloud Peak Village wouldn’t be able to escape.
It might as well place everything on Li Che’s shoulders.
Moreover, if the daughter of the Lotus of Hell comes to Cloud Peak Village, the village would actually be safer in the short term...
Because the goal of the three major divine factions is to corrupt the daughter of the Lotus of Hell.
The prerequisite for corruption is to cultivate emotions. Once those emotions are formed and then severed, the daughter of the Lotus of Hell would be emotionally disturbed and thus corrupted, just like the Earth Village...
Therefore, Yunhe’s decisiveness was very correct.
“Don’t worry, Chief Yunhe. You won’t regret today’s decision,” Li Che said with a smile, making a promise.
In the distance, Zhang Ya and Xixi were chatting happily. Although the mother and daughter were so close, Xixi felt a sense of reliance after learning that Zhang Ya was actually Lady Meng of the Netherworld.
Xixi enjoyed this feeling.
She was also well aware that once Li Che and Zhang Ya’s identities were exposed, and the three major divine factions learned of the appearance of the daughter of the Lotus of Hell’s parents, it could even provoke the action of an Immortal Divine Being!
Tuoba Ye informed everyone about their journey to Cloud Peak Village. Though everyone was emotionally stirred upon learning the reason, none of them refused.
“After you follow Mr. Moche to Cloud Peak Village, listen to Mr. Moche... do not act on your own.”
Tuoba Ye kept reminding them.
His aged face was filled with the sorrow of parting.
“Xixi, your identity as the daughter of the Lotus of Hell is not a burden. Be yourself... this might also be the old village chief’s wish.”
“Don’t fall for their tricks. They want you to feel guilty, to accept the curse of the Lotus of Hell... but the fault lies with the world, not with you.”
“You are just a child; what could you possibly be blamed for?”
Tuoba Ye gently rubbed Xixi’s head, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Tears welled up in Xixi’s eyes, and she nodded, her heart heavy with parting.
Tuoba Ye turned and left, taking the Divine Being Tuoba Long, who represented Earth Village in the Spirit Mountain Cavern Heaven, with him.
The two stepped onto the teleportation array in Divine Storage City, left the Divine Storage Heaven, and returned to the Northern Dipper Heaven, heading toward Earth Village.
Xixi was very reluctant, while Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu had resolute expressions.
Their eyes were filled with sorrow, knowing what had happened in Earth Village.
The blood feud would be etched in their hearts, and they would silently grow stronger, eventually avenging Earth Village!
Tuoba Ye and Tuoba Long were gone, disappearing from the teleportation platform.
Li Che stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering.
“Let’s return.”
Li Che said.
Upon hearing this, Yunhe immediately began to pack and rally the group.
This time, Cloud Peak Village had reaped a bountiful harvest, but it also brought enormous danger.
However, for Cloud Peak Village, this might also be a tremendous opportunity. The village might have a chance to transcend its current status, becoming a middle or even upper-tier ancient village among the Three Pure Ones!
To become one of the top ancient villages in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
Humming sounds filled the air as the teleportation platform glowed with brilliant light.
Then, it warped and began to traverse the void, teleporting from the Divine Storage Heaven back to the Mystic Peak Heaven.
Li Che sat cross-legged on the teleportation platform, his eyes opening and closing, his powerful Divine Will sweeping like a storm, sensing the numerous Divine Engravings emitted by the platform.
Li Che would not simply abandon Earth Village.
Although he did not accompany Tuoba Ye and the others, he had his own plans.
A Dao Fruit pulsed in his chest.
Behind Li Che, a golden wheel began to rotate, the overlapping rotations producing a metallic scraping sound.
This was the Dao Fruit of the Temporal Golden Wheel, resonating powerfully!
Li Che had been studying the teleportation platform for a long time. From the first time he used the platform, he had instructed his Sovereign Incarnation to activate the Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit to analyze every divine engraving on the platform.
Additionally, the Temporal Golden Wheel Dao Fruit had been analyzing the spatial forces of the platform.
Now, he finally had a breakthrough, or rather, a decryption!
The teleportation platform was a core technology mastered by the three major divine factions!
It was also the capital that allowed the three major divine factions to rule the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
This platform contained divine engraving techniques of the Great Immortal level, and even powers of the Heaven and Earth Ancient Rune level...
Decrypting it was extremely difficult for Li Che.
However, the rewards after successful decryption were immense!
[Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (Level 8, 20%)]
Studying the divine engravings allowed the Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit, which had reached Level 8, to make significant progress.
However, what Li Che valued was not the increased maturity of the Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit, but rather the transformation of the Temporal Golden Wheel Dao Fruit!
The Temporal Golden Wheel Dao Fruit, which had already reached Level 7, finally resonated and transformed after Li Che deciphered the secrets of the teleportation platform.
[Dao Fruit: Temporal Golden Wheel (Level 8, 0%)]
Sitting cross-legged on the teleportation array, Li Che, who was crossing the dimensional barriers, suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze was dazzling.
The Temporal Golden Wheel behind him resonated powerfully.
The Dao Fruit had transformed, the array platform had been decrypted, and the cage had been shattered!
This meant that he could cross the dimensional barriers through privately set teleportation arrays, shielding himself from the probing of the Immortal Will that presided over the dimensional barriers.
This meant that in the vast Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Li Che could...
Travel freely!
Move at will!
