As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 269: Chapter 135: Divine Vein Nine Transformations Reach Perfection, Entering Grandmaster, Emperor Xi Xi Can’t Possibly Cry 3

Elder Zhu Hongdou fiercely swung her flame spear, casting a glare at the Shangguan Family mansion.

“Those old fools of the Shangguan family, even after getting injured by me, did not reveal any Corpse God Cult techniques… It’s a pity, I couldn’t trick it out of them, this old fool, I don’t know whether he was intentionally hiding it or if he really never joined the Corpse God Cult.”

Elder Zhu Hongdou contemplated.

Surprised expressions soon emerged on the enchantingly handsome face of Liu Yangyuan.

It seems Elder Zhu Hongdou was not merely thoughtless… This deadly conflict was also a strategic probe.

“You think I am that woman from Heavenly Oversight whose surname is Gong?”

Elder Zhu Hongdou, as if seeing through Liu Yangyuan’s astonished thoughts under his façade, sneered coldly.

Afterwards, her heroic figure trod upon red clouds, leaving with her head held high.

She was off to Zheng Lei Peak, to show Dawn Treasure just how much she had suffered for her!

…

…

Ten-plus days passed in a blink.

The incident involving Xi Xi didn’t settle down; Elder Xu Jiuqing from the Enforcement Hall, with his team, thoroughly investigated the entire Divine Sect. Almost every mountain peak was turned over, and not a single one from among the Inner Sect’s peaks was overlooked.

At this moment, all the disciples finally understood fully the importance of Xi Xi, the Jiazi Child Prodigy, to the Golden Light Sub-sect!

Zheng Lei Peak.

Gong Yuanliang and Gongyang Xiu, holding candied haws they bought down the mountain, took advantage of Li Che’s absence to visit Xi Xi.

Recently, Xi Xi had been relaxing her schedule, cultivating on Golden Light Peak during the day, and in the evening, Zhang Ya would pick her up from there, with Sang Guanyin escorting them together to Zheng Lei Peak.

This had delighted Xi Xi tremendously, being able to see her parents every day made her happy!

As for Li Che, he indeed did not spend the entire day at Zheng Lei Peak; he still had to attend to his duties at the Qintian Observatory during the day.

Li Che, of course, would not give up his identity as a Heavenly Oversight Guest Official.

Li Qingshan said he would take him to the sect’s Divine Carving Ridge, but they had not yet gone, and Li Che was in no hurry.

The Qintian Observatory also provided plenty of Spiritual Wood for him to practice his wood carving, thus advancing his Immortal Artisan skills.

However, some higher-ranked Spiritual Woods were rare and hard to find.

During this period, Li Che also did not let his guard down, always monitoring Xi Xi’s situation with the Thunder Chess Pieces.

Meanwhile, Old Chen had gone to the Yunfang Boat to work as a guard, and Li Che was watching him too.

Threads of Corpse Curse power permeated Old Chen’s body, but Li Che was not in a hurry to remove them.

Instead, he quietly noted the Beggars’ Sect in his mental notebook.

“Beggars’ Sect… not weaker than the once Fishing Gang; its leader, Hong Jiuliu, is indeed a Divine Symbol Cultivator, and within the sect, there are two Void Aspect Vice-Leaders as well as a Nine-Bags Elder who is in the Illusory Phase Realm…”

During this time, Li Che had found Shangguan Qinghong and inquired about the various powers of Golden Light Prefecture City, among which the Beggars’ Sect was covertly mentioned.

Shangguan Qinghong was a disciple of Lin Xiu. His knowledge base was extremely rich; although perhaps slightly less than Lin Xiu, it was still vast enough for Li Che to explore.

The Cultivator from the Corpse God Cult among the Beggars’ Sect seemed uninterested in giving Old Chen the Corpse Curse Mark, possibly fearing that Old Chen might encounter an accident, attracting the fiery and active inquiries of the Divine Sect’s Enforcement Hall, which could eliminate this line of inquiry.

Thus, their actions were very cautious, merely using the death Qi and Corpse Qi from the Corpse Curse Mark to permeate.

Golden Light Prefecture City, Falling Flower Alley.

Isolated workshop courtyard.

Li Che enveloped the area with the Heaven and Earth Chessboard to guard against external prying.

In the yard.

Whoo––

The sound of wind stirred, and the air currents roared and surged!

Li Che stood firm, his spine like a dragon, his body roughly bending forward, and instantly, it seemed as if the sound of river waters lapping against the shore resounded explosively!

His boiling blood felt like great waves stirred up by a tumultuous river!

The entire courtyard’s air current was churned, moving slowly around his bursting blood-filled body like fluid sandalwood!

It was like the stirred river waters!

His entire body’s muscles and bones trembled violently. Under his resilient skin, muscles roared and growled like flood dragons, snapping and quivering as if waves were overturning.

“Roar––”

Suddenly, Li Che opened his eyes wide, his fingers clawed tightly, pulling the surrounding air into a vacuum at once, as if it was being grasped together.

His arm lashed out like a striking serpent, tensed and then releasing a fearsome sonic boom, smashing ahead to blow a gaping hole in the air!

Subsequently, as if a flood dragon made of blood erupted from his fist and roared forth!

“Golden Light Sub-sect’s ultimate skill… Eight Flood Dragons River Overturning Skill…”

“Blood condenses into a flood dragon, furious dragon leaves the river, achieved Minor Accomplishment!”

This was the True Intent Ultimate Study of Eight Flood Dragons River Overturning that Li Qingshan had passed on to him.

True Intent Ultimate Studies were no easy task; each required much more effort to master than Superior Martial Arts.

Even with Li Che’s talent, it took him half a year just to reach Minor Accomplishment in Eight Flood Dragons River Overturning Skill.

Of course, during this half-year, he didn’t only practice Eight Flood Dragons River Overturning; another technique, acquired from the Shangguan family, Pale Thunder Body, had also reached Minor Accomplishment, but advancing it to Major Accomplishment was challenging, needing visualizations of lightning and drawing it into the body.

It required celestial timing, thus Li Che had not yet started practicing it.

Both True Intent Ultimate Studies, Eight Flood Dragons River Overturning and Pale Thunder Body, had been cultivated to Minor Accomplishment.

Li Che’s Dragon Elephant True Force had also greatly advanced, integrating the power from the two ultimate studies, resulting in a terrifying burst of power.

Dragon Elephant True Force, a Jue Xue created by Li Che with the help of Dao Fruit, frighteningly accommodating, did not show the slightest unease despite the fusion of two ultimate studies.

Li Che’s eyes shone brightly, yet his heart was filled with anticipation for just how much his Dragon Elephant True Force could evolve in the future.

In half a year, Li Che immersed himself in cultivation, wishing to rapidly enhance his own strength.

The hidden experts of the Corpse God Cult within the Divine Sect indeed brought him significant threat and pressure.

It made Li Che wish he could soar rapidly to new heights of power.
