Chapter 59: Eternal Origin Divine Sect, Xi Xi Turns Three
Chapter 59: Eternal Origin Divine Sect, Xi Xi Turns Three
Lu Chi stood tall, his gaze fixed on the towering figure of the Ox Demon, who resembled a mountain. With an air of confidence, he slowly walked into the house.
The powerful aura of qi and blood intertwined and spread, creating a violent gust of energy that surged in all directions.
An inexplicable pressure caused Lu Chi's hair to stand on end, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Could it be...
Was he serious about the big-headed demon having a good grip earlier in the day?
Now, in the dead of night, he was going to put it to the test?
Lu Chi, seated cross-legged on the bed, felt his face twitch slightly. His cultivated divine nature was already gathering momentum, and sparks seemed to dance within his pupils.
If the Ox Demon truly intended to kill him, Lu Chi would summon the Third Prince!
Li Che glanced at Lu Chi, whose entire body was tense.
Of course, he wasn't here to kill Lu Chi. Although the Ox Demon wasn't a saint, he wasn't the type to kill innocents indiscriminately.
"What's your relationship with that old man?" Li Che asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chi immediately understood who Li Che was referring to. His tense nerves relaxed slightly, realizing that his master must have informed Li Che beforehand.
"He's my master," Lu Chi replied.
"Are you from the Eternal Origin Divine Sect?" Li Che asked, his gaze piercing.
Lu Chi's body stiffened, but he gradually relaxed, knowing that someone would provide an answer.
Li Che's eyes, hidden behind his mask, narrowed as he clenched his fist. A wooden raven slid from his sleeve into his hand, and his other fingers trembled, tightening the thousand spider threads that were already taut and ready.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the room, seemingly out of nowhere.
The half-white-haired old man, with a face full of wrinkles, wore a gentle smile.
Li Che hadn't even noticed how the old man had entered the room!
"Young friend, there's no need to worry. If I wanted to deal with you, your resistance would be futile," the old man said with a smile.
"But I am surprised. How did you manage to kill Si Mu Bai?"
Li Che's body tensed beneath his black stretchable suit. His muscles rippled with power, and his qi and blood surged.
"Although Si Mu Bai was beaten by Lu Chi, his Cultivating Nature Like a Stream had reached the peak level..."
"Logically, with your unformed Lantern Realm, you shouldn't have had any chance of killing Si Mu Bai."
The old man's eyes widened in astonishment as he studied Li Che.
Li Che's fingers gripped the thousand spider threads, his vigilance at its peak. His eyes narrowed beneath the mask, and he said, "It was just a sneak attack. There's nothing to be proud of."
"Sneak attack a divine nature cultivator? Their perception is incredibly sharp. The moment you make a move, they can sense it from ten zhang away. How could you possibly sneak attack them?"
The old man shook his head, but a hint of concern lingered in his heart.
The fact that Li Che could kill Si Mu Bai meant that his martial prowess was worthy of recognition throughout Flying Thunder City.
The old man was about to search for the Spirit Infancy Sect's headquarters, and there might be an opportunity for them to cooperate.
"Young Li, indeed, I and Lu Chi are from the Eternal Origin Divine Sect. We are divine foundation cultivators who came down the mountain this time to select spirit children. However, we arrived early and entered the city ahead of schedule, avoiding the attention of the noble families and the city lord," the old man explained.
So they were indeed from the Eternal Origin Divine Sect!
Li Che's heart skipped a beat, but he remained alert.
The old man smiled, brushed off the rain from his clothes, and glanced at Li Che, who was still on guard. "You don't need to be nervous. We divine foundation cultivators don't care about your martial secrets. Your Breath Concealing Bone Secret Technique is impressive, but in the eyes of a divine foundation cultivator, it's not that tempting."
"Divine foundation techniques, cultivating nature treasures, divine weapons, and the like are what divine foundation cultivators pursue."
"Everything related to divine nature far surpasses martial arts, qi, and inner strength."
"Allow me to introduce myself."
"I am Li Qingshan, a divine foundation cultivator from the Yunzhou Branch Sect of the Eternal Origin Divine Sect. This young man here is my direct disciple, Lu Chi, who has reached the River Realm in cultivating nature and is an inner disciple of the branch sect."
The old man, Li Qingshan, looked at Li Che with a serious expression, introducing himself formally.
The Eternal Origin Divine Sect!
A true behemoth, even though Li Qingshan was from a branch sect, his presence was enough to be considered a formidable force in Flying Thunder City!
"The Great Jing Dynasty has one divine sect for each of its thirty-six states and one hundred and twenty-six prefectures. Each state has a branch sect, and together with the Great Jing Temple Administration, they jointly manage the mysterious temples," Li Qingshan explained to Li Che.
"Flying Thunder City is under the jurisdiction of Golden Light Prefecture, which is located in Yunzhou and belongs to the Lingnan Circuit. Therefore, it is managed by the Yunzhou Branch Sect of the Eternal Origin Divine Sect."
Li Che felt a sense of vastness and wildness wash over him as Li Qingshan shared this geographical knowledge.
"Lan Xi's talent is exceptional and extremely suitable for cultivating our sect's Wrath Divine Nature lineage. Therefore, I've come to ask if you would allow Lan Xi to join the Yunzhou Branch Sect of the Eternal Origin Divine Sect..."
"With Lan Xi's talent, if she can forge her Divine Foundation before the age of eighteen, there's still hope for her to enter the main sect of the Eternal Origin Divine Sect."
Li Qingshan stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Eighteen years old to forge the Divine Foundation?" Li Che's heart skipped a beat.
"Eighteen years old to forge the Divine Foundation is the most basic requirement for entering the main sect from the branch sects... Lan Xi has hope. I've examined her Divinity, and she's an exceptional Spirit Child!"
"An exceptional Spirit Child? I thought the Xu Family said she was a Superior one?"
"Those born with innate Divinity, accompanied by their nascent Divinity, are not something acquired through cultivation. That's why they can be called Spirit Children..."
Li Qingshan burst into laughter. "Our Eternal Origin Sect's Perception Art can see through the origin of things. It's not something that can be compared to the experience and insight of Divine Cultivators in a small city."
"Young friend, are you willing to send Lan Xi to our Divine Sect?"
Li Qingshan asked again, and Lu Chi, sitting on the bed, blinked her big eyes curiously.
Li Che thought for a moment and asked, "Letting Lan Xi join the Divine Sect... It's not impossible, but I have a question."
"Ask away."
"I don't know if the Divine Sect allows the concept of accompanying cultivation. I want to accompany Lan Xi and enter the Divine Sect together. Is that possible?"
Li Che was reluctant to let Lan Xi go to the Divine Sect alone; he wouldn't let her go unless he could accompany her.
Lan Xi was too far away from him, and he felt no sense of security.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan was momentarily stunned, then he smiled and shook his head. "Of course it's possible, and not just possible... This time, I came down to Thunder City a bit late, allowing the Spirit Infancy Sect to wreak havoc, but I managed to protect a few exceptional Spirit Children."
"Lan Xi is one of them, and several were chosen by the major aristocratic families. There's also one more..."
As Li Qingshan spoke, the smile in his eyes grew more intense and fervent. His gaze fell upon Li Che, who was wearing a Cuteness Bull Mask and had activated the Lion Elephant Vajra, towering like a mountain.
"It's you."
"A Spirit Child at the age of twenty-one..."
...
...
Time passed like sand slipping through fingers, fleeting swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.
Since the last time Li Qingshan and Li Che had their confrontation, Li Che's mind had been buzzing.
He hadn't expected... Li Qingshan not only had his eyes on his daughter but also on him.
A Spirit Child at the age of twenty-one?
This sounded a bit odd, like a twenty-one-year-old virgin, not very threatening but highly insulting.
When Li Qingshan mentioned the pure Divinity within him, Li Che understood that it was the Divinity accumulated from the Pure Heart Dao Fruit, which had caught Li Qingshan's attention through his Perception Art.
Strictly speaking, the Divinity accumulated from the birth of the Pure Heart Dao Fruit was indeed very fresh and could be considered a "Spirit Child."
In other words, Li Qingshan wanted both Li Che and Lan Xi to join the sect for cultivation.
Li Che imagined himself cultivating in the same courtyard as a group of children who weren't even as tall as his knees, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of humor in the situation.
Unknowingly, another half a year passed.
Since the last Divine Foundation War, the Si Family had completely fallen, becoming an object of plunder for the major aristocratic families. Although the Si Family had not yet been extinguished, it was barely surviving, having lost its status as an aristocratic family.
All the good things within the clan had been plundered, and the loss of the Divine Technique directly led to the Si Family's complete loss of its foundation.
After the downfall of the Si Family, Thunder City entered a period of peace.
However, the calmer the wind and waves, the greater the storm brewing.
Lu Chi had permanently moved into Li Che's home, arranged by Li Qingshan to protect Lan Xi. Li Qingshan, on the other hand, was investigating the mysterious temple outside the city and the affairs of the Spirit Infancy Sect.
He told Li Che that the Spirit Infancy Sect was causing the mysterious temple outside the city to expand and transform.
Therefore, he was secretly searching for the headquarters of the Spirit Infancy Sect and trying to suppress the temple deity within the mysterious temple, who was about to revive.
Regarding Li Che and Lan Xi's journey to the Divine Sect for cultivation, Li Qingshan said that they would have to wait until the Divine Sect officially recruited disciples before they could join, as it was against the rules to enter prematurely.
Li Che didn't mind this at all.
The days passed by peacefully.
Time marched on, and the seasons changed like flowing water.
The cold wind blew, bringing a chill that lingered.
Unknowingly, another year of cold winter arrived, with heavy snowfall.
Lan Xi turned three years old.
