Chapter 1004: Chapter 301: 3 Flowers Like Torches, Looking Back to Reshape the Foundation, Today Opens the Human Core Martial Saint Again [Seeking Monthly Ticket]

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

The north wind howled, bringing with it a surging cold wave crossing the mountains, plunging the entire Lingnan Land into a bitter cold.

Snowflakes the size of hands rolled in the air before falling, striking the ground with a dull sound, as if pebbles were landing on a snow-covered coat.

Many scattered snow particles were blown away like sand, forming cold air currents that hovered over the cold mountains like wisps of smoke and silk.

The whole Qianyuan Taoist City sat amidst this icy world, as if the entire city had transformed into a crystal-clear ice sculpture city.

The black tiles were covered with snow, and icicles hung menacingly.

Thunder Alley.

Inside the small courtyard of the independent workshop.

The entire yard was clean, with not a single snowflake falling, for the snowflakes had been evaporated into steam by the scorching heat before landing, rising into the air and forming a misty fog.

Li Che stood in the courtyard, and with each breath, his physical body seemed to expand and contract.

It was as if arcs of lightning were constantly darting across his skin, like the sound of thunder.

”The place of breakthrough...”

Li Che focused his gaze, his pupils shining brightly, like two brilliant lights, with golden smoke flowing like incense.

He was pondering the location he should choose for his breakthrough to the Martial Saint realm.

In Li Che’s mind, one location after another flashed by.

If he were to break through to the Martial Saint, the likelihood of triggering the Martial Saint Tribulation Thunder was high, because Li Che’s foundation was too solid. With such a solid foundation, how would the heavens easily allow Li Che to transcend?

Cultivators, by nature, go against the way of the heavens.

They are inherently rejected by the heavens.

With such a solid foundation, the increase and improvement upon breakthrough would be tremendous, creating a stark contrast.

It’s like a waterfall pouring down, the greater the gap, the louder the crashing sound.

”If I break through, the five Qimen Divine Seeds cannot be concealed; otherwise, I could simply wear the Bull Demon mask and break through near Dao City...”

Li Che mused.

However, he had just acted in the guise of the Underworld Yama, marked by five Qimen Divine Seeds. If the Bull Demon were to also reveal five divine seeds, it would render all his previous strategies meaningless.

”Moreover, in the vicinity of Qianyuan Taoist City, there are too many powerful individuals... If I break through to Martial Saint, when the Heavenly Person Sensing forms, it will cause a heavenly anomaly, possibly attracting the attention of absolute peak experts. If they interfere, it could be very dangerous.”

”Exhale——”

Li Che exhaled, like a furnace spewing scorching waves of heat, continuously surging.

”Therefore, the best place for my breakthrough... would be a secluded place, with no absolute peaks to oversee or interfere.”

Upon this thought, Li Che laughed.

”There are plenty of experts around Qianyuan Taoist City, Martial Saints, and Divine Fetuses are not scarce... But, looking across the whole Lingnan Circuit, only Qianyuan Taoist City hosts such a concentration of experts.”

”If I don’t break through within the range of Qianyuan Taoist City, then I should be fine.”

A hint of expectation and reflection flashed in Li Che’s eyes.

”It’s been over two years since I came to Dao City...”

”Xi Xi was four years old when we came to Qianyuan Taoist City, and now Xi Xi is six... And I am at the brink of breaking through to Martial Saint.”

Li Che’s breath was like thunder.

He stood in the courtyard, raising his hand, joining two fingers, and pointing them onto his brow.

Ding——

Instantly.

The Heaven and Earth chessboard rose abruptly from above his head, spiraling and spreading wide, covering the sky and universe!

The intertwining black and white lines seemed to compress and summarize countless mountains and rivers within the chessboard.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, hidden within the chess!

Li Che’s black hair wildly flew, his eyes swirling with golden smoke, and his five fingers clenched.

Buzz——!!!

It seemed as if the space itself rippled with waves.

A pure white divinity Flying Thunder Chess Piece gradually appeared in Li Che’s palm.

This was exceptionally rare, for the teleportation and guidance of the Flying Thunder Chess Piece took this long.

Normally, when Li Che used the Flying Thunder Chess Piece for teleportation, it was nearly instantaneous.

But this time.

It took Li Che the better part of three breaths to secure the divinity chess piece anchored to the designated point.

The space was like the water surface of a lake, with ripples expanding from a stone tossed into it.

Accompanied by a flickering, distorted halo.

Within the independent workshop of Thunder Alley.

Li Che’s figure was already gone.

...

...

Qianyuan Taoist City.

Snow heavily falling, the land frozen for miles.

Daoist Master Mansion.

In the leisure pavilion, a hot furnace boiled water, with boiling water rolling inside, a few green tea leaves spinning up and down.

Ji Lishou, wearing a Star Constellation Mask, sat in the leisure pavilion, with Young Taoist Master Yue Weizheng and Dragon Son Ao Lie of the Dragon God Clan by his side.

The three were sipping tea and leisurely chatting.

”In four days, the day when the Two-Minded Great Sage Mysterious Temple opens will arrive...”

”It’s rare that Lv Taibai is willing to open the Two-Minded Great Sage Mysterious Temple.”

”I thought it would take more effort.”

Ao Lie, dressed in splendid garments with prominent dragon horns on his forehead, took a sip of winter tea and spoke softly.

Yue Weizheng laughed: ”That Great Supervising Minister in Divine Capital expressed up, mentioning that the divine weapon in the Two-Minded Great Sage Mysterious Temple has connections with the Equal Heaven Temple... Qian Yuan Divine Sect dares not keep it for themselves alone.”

”After all, back then, the Great Supervising Minister said... The Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Monarch Strange Temple suppressed by Qian Yuan Divine Sect might possibly elevate from the Four Royal Mysterious Temples to the Three Pure Bizarre Temples, potentially becoming the future Equal Heaven Temple.”
