172. Chapter 171 Super Wealthy Six Ministries Divine Nature Crystal, Re-explore the Divine Palace Heavenly King Meet the Great Sage 【Seek Monthly Ticket】

Jin Guang Fu City.

This night was destined to be restless.

The snow on the firmament melted, turning into a torrential downpour that kept falling; bean-sized raindrops mixed with hail struck the ground, making a splashing sound.

The ground was illuminated by the splashing water, a hazy blur.

Temple Suppression Office.

The Director-General Office's Xie Jing's expression became extremely solemn.

Their waist knife trembled nonstop, their eyes gleamed, their heart surged, and the qi and blood within their body churned continuously.

They let out a long breath.

They suppressed the inner turmoil of trembling and longing.

"A Grand Master battle!"

"Grand Master..."

Xie Jing's eyes flickered; Xie Jing raised their hand, bathed in the torrential winter rain turned from snow, which was impacted by the Grand Master's qi and blood.

Their whole person was enveloped in a hazy water mist.

They looked at their own hand.

"It's truly a longing..."

As the Director-General of the Temple Suppression Office stationed in Jin Guang Fu.

Xie Jing's strength is certainly not weak; they greatly desire the Grand Master realm, but breaking through to Grand Master is not easy.

They always fall just short.

But in reality, they are already very close to the Grand Master realm.

In daily combat, they only use the cultivation of the Elemental Phase realm, but in truth, their qi-blood martial cultivation is the strongest.

Half-step Grand Master...

That is their true foundation.

In Jin Guang Fu, only two people know their true strength.

Nan Li Huo and the Supervisor, even the City Lord Su Huaili, do not know their qi-blood martial realm.

Closing their eyes, Xie Jing savored tonight's Grand Master battle, the blood within their body surging with fervor.

They seemed to have gained some insight.

The manner in which Xie Du Fu's divine gang is used and activated greatly affects them.

After savoring for a moment.

Xie Jing opened their eyes and returned to the interior of the Temple Suppression Office building.

"Jin Guang Fu City is in complete chaos; as the Temple God Convergence Assembly approaches, Grand Masters and Divine True Persons rush in succession."

"It's far livelier than previous sessions."

"After all, this session is extremely important; it is the most active occasion of the Third Prince Temple God, and also the easiest to obtain inheritance."

Xie Jing exhaled a breath.

They sat before the desk, stacks of documents laid out; they reached past many documents and took up a bronze mirror.

They flipped open the bronze mirror, poured in qi and blood, and undid the pattern seal.

Instantly, information surged forth upon it.

"Lingnan Dao City Temple Suppression Office: a Grand Master Director-General Zhu Chanyang, accompanied by a divine child and an elder of the Primordial Origin Divine Sect responsible for transporting the Four Divine Guardians' weapons, arrives side by side."

They closed the information.

Xie Jing's expression changed.

"Another Grand Master and Divine True Person has arrived..."

"The Divine Sect has two Divine True Persons arrived; no, it should be that Wang Ku Yu was originally hidden, merely exposed early, followed by the Pacification King's side, which also has a Grand Master and a Divine True Person."

"The Temple Suppression Office and the Imperial Observatory have both sent experts of True Person level."

They shook their head, and Xie Jing leaned back in the chair.

"It's chaotic, completely chaotic..."

"Plus the Underworld and the Corpse God Sect."

"The commotion stirred up by this Temple God Convergence is truly enormous..."

Xie Jing closed their eyes.

"Not only that..."

"Moreover, there is the Corpse God Sect's Yuan Jin Gang hidden in the darkness, a Seventh Element Upper Rank Corpse God Envoy, which is a bronze corpse, suspected to have stepped into the Divine True Person realm!"

"Tricky!"

Xie Jing curled their five fingers, tapping the tabletop.

Although the Underworld's Ox-Head and Horse-Face, as well as the suddenly appearing Divine Monkey tonight... have slaughtered many high-ranking members of the Corpse God Sect.

However, Yuan Jin Gang has not yet been exposed!

"Yuan Jin Gang... where exactly are they hiding?"

"Or rather, who exactly are they?"

Xie Jing clenched their five fingers into a fist.

Ox-Head or rather, the Underworld's multitudes...

They have found so many Corpse God Sect experts, even Xu Jiu Qing hidden within the Divine Sect has been dug out.

This Yuan Jin Gang...

Can you find it?

This guy……

This is truly the most terrifying explosive thunder!

……

……

Outside the house, rainwater splashed loudly.

The heavens and earth were hazy, the night deep and profound.

Li Che returned to the house, the oil lamp flame swaying in the mist raised by rainwater striking the ground.

The interior was extremely quiet.

Seven painted fairy clones were diligently helping the main body cultivate divine nature, as hardworking as if they were helping the main body do summer homework.

Rubbing his hands together, Li Che's eyes sparkled with great anticipation.

Three Heaven and Earth Jades hovered before him.

Two of the Heaven and Earth Jades emitted corpse and deathly qi, while one circulated with blood qi.

Li Che broke open the Heaven and Earth Jades hidden by two Corpse God Sect experts of the Gold Rift Sect.

The corpse and deathly qi were instantly torn apart by Li Che's brutal and tyrannical force.

Li Che, no stranger to this, heard the Heaven and Earth Jade's seal shriek like a breaking scream, his heart unmoved.

First thing after opening the Jade: seek Divine Nature Crystals!

With a thought, the Heaven and Earth Jades poured out in abundance!

"Five Seven Elements Divine Nature Crystals! Fifteen Eight Extremes Divine Nature Crystals! Nine Luminaries and Ten Metropolises Divine Nature Crystals… no longer important! But together they approach five hundred!"

"Hiss——!"

"No wonder it's the Gold Rift Sect; the sect's patriarch probably has the entire sect's resources in hand! This all ends up cheap for me!"

"Great harvest!"

"Just the Divine Nature Crystals alone make Li Che's move worthwhile!"

Li Che's smile blossomed; although he didn't feel a sense of getting rich quick, having experienced it many times, this harvest feeling still made him happy.

It's like peanuts planted in the ground, pulled out, bearing abundant fruit, a beautiful mood.

These Corpse God Sect experts……

Just like peanuts growing in the ground waiting for him to pull out…… what's the difference?

"Or rather, using a more vivid description……"

"The wicked ones of the Corpse God Sect…… are nothing more than power banks."

Li Che curled the corner of his mouth.

"No Divine Nature Crystals left; slaying a Corpse God Sect expert will definitely drop many Divine Nature Crystals."

The Corpse God Sect wishes to set up in Gold Light Prefecture, corrupting many cultivators within the prefecture, and thus also needs operational funds.

Therefore, these Corpse God Sect experts are quite wealthy.

"My Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit needs to breakthrough to LV4, requiring plenty of Seven Elements Divine Nature Crystals; this is essential!"

Li Che's gaze burned intensely.

Moreover, cultivating the Immaculate Heart cannot be done by a clone; he must do it himself.

Thus, the higher the quality of the Divine Nature Crystals, the faster his cultivation!

Li Che paused, planning to open Xue Dufu's Heaven and Earth Jade, then tally his current Divine Nature Crystal holdings!

Continue tallying the harvest.

"Divine Weapon…… Let me see, there actually is a Seven Elements Divine Weapon!"

Li Che's eyes brightened; although only one Seven Elements Divine Weapon, for him it is a tremendous gain!

Previously he obtained a Seven Elements Divine Weapon, the Lü Xuanbing Yang Sword, but this being a sword, Li Che is not accustomed to using it.

So, whenever he gets a Seven Elements Divine Weapon, he pays attention.

Li Che clenched his five fingers, instantly a splendid golden light surged forth, mighty and heavy, its penetrating power terrifyingly fierce, the air emitting a humming rupture!

That was a long spear!

Eight zhang long, entirely gilded, engraved with unique patterns, the spear tip carved with tiger and leopard motifs, as if a fierce tiger opened its mouth to spit out the spearhead.

The spearhead is not long, even somewhat short, but extremely sharp.

Making the whole spear look like a golden rod.

Li Che's eyes shone bright, instantly drawn to it, unable to look away.

The Star-Plucking Pupil glanced over.

Divine Weapon information surged into his mind.

……

【Divine Weapon (Seven Elements Upper Grade): Tiger Leopard Thunderclap Crack Gold Spear】

【Craftsmanship: forged entirely from gold essence, mixed with mysterious silver, using the blood of demonic tiger and demonic Leopard, refined from heaven and earth thunder; when the spear moves, it emits tiger-leopard thunder, contains metal-element power, cracks gold and destroys stone】

【Wielded by: Metal Grandmaster of the Five Elements or above, Primordial Appearance or above】

……

Tiger Leopard Thunderclap Crack Gold Spear!

Information flowed, Li Che overjoyed, hefting it in his hand……

As if he had thought of something.

He raised his hand, tapping between his brows.

Tearing open flesh and blood, the Star-Picking Pupil opened its eyes!

In an instant, the qi and blood throughout the body burst forth with a thunderous boom!

The qi and blood rosy radiance surged and steamed!

Li Che's pupils flashed with golden light as he swept toward the Tiger Leopard Thunderclap Golden-Cracking Spear, enveloping it in an instant with intertwining rosy radiance of qi and blood, merging into the divine weapon within.

The Star-Picking Pupil scanned the Tiger Leopard Thunderclap Spear; instantly, under its gaze, the rosy radiance of qi and blood seemed to come alive, locating the flaw in this divine weapon.

It frenziedly converged and drilled into that flaw!

Slowly, it completely surged into the divine weapon.

HUM—

The long spear roared, as if a tiger-leopard thunderclap exploded!

Muffled thunder rolled, tiger roars and leopard howls!

When everything settled, Li Che saw on the divine weapon an additional pattern of crimson, resembling rosy radiance of qi and blood.

Gold and red intertwined, strikingly brilliant!

【Divine Weapon (Six Ministries Lower Grade): Tiger Leopard Thunderclap Golden-Cracking Spear】

The Star-Picking Pupil again fed back the divine weapon's information.

And the information had actually changed!

In Li Che's eyes flickered an expression of disbelief!

This works too?

No……

Does this rosy radiance of qi and blood also have such an effect?

In the previous battle with Xue Dufu, the rosy radiance of qi and blood enveloping the Startling Spear temporarily raised its quality, making its toughness and hardness greater.

Thus, Li Che on a whim gave it a try.

With the two divine abilities complementing each other, this divine weapon actually rose in rank?!

This meaning is not the same!

Li Che took out another Seven-Origin divine weapon, namely the Crimson Flame Flowing Fire Divine Bow seized from the Divine Archer Wen Longshan.

Seven-Origin Upper Grade, Li Che followed the same procedure.

The Star-Picking Pupil and the rosy radiance of qi and blood worked in tandem.

The rosy radiance of qi and blood was suddenly consumed heavily; it seemed to be consuming Li Che's own qi and blood.

After finishing making up for his deficiencies, Li Che glanced over, feeling slightly regretful.

This divine bow did not advance to the Six Ministries level.

It seems not all divine weapons possess the qualification for promotion.

The rosy radiance of qi and blood, this newly acquired divine ability, in Li Che's understanding is more of an auxiliary enhancement.

It can even be understood as a strange divine weapon!

It can carry Li Che to fly, form externally a high-defense armor light clothing, attach to divine weapons to raise their quality……

Moreover, the most important point: as Li Che's qi and blood cultivation rises, the power of this rosy radiance of qi and blood will also increase!

"Yes, the rosy radiance of qi and blood…… can even be fused into the Guanyin Lotus Bullet; then…… one could control the bullet, conduct remote manipulation, terminal guidance, increase the bombing accuracy of the bullet!"

"Let the enemy have nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide!"

Li Che's pupils shone brilliantly!

Divine abilities…… need to be developed.

Cannot simply foolishly rely only on their basic functions; that would be wasteful.

Furthermore, the rosy radiance of qi and blood is merely one layer of the divine ability Rosy Radiance Elevation.

Having put away the Tiger Leopard Thunderclap Spear with satisfaction, he continued to tally.

"Medicinal pills: two upper-grade seventh-rank Tiger Blood Martial Pills, plus one middle-grade seventh-origin Death-Air Condensing Martial Pill…… together with other scattered high-quality medicinal pills, total eighteen, not many but high grade!"

"Regarding techniques, there is the Gold Splitting Gate Ancestor's upper-grade true intent absolute art《Metal Tiger Roar Spear》, which pairs perfectly with the Tiger Leopard Thunderclap Golden-Cracking Spear."

Another master's absolute art, Li Che is delighted.

"Moreover, there is the Gold Splitting Gate's seventh-origin Divine Appearance Method《Profound Startle Golden Splitting Mountain Lord Rebuke God Divine Appearance Method》, which is still usable!"

The main gains actually come from the Gold Splitting Gate Ancestor; another seventh-origin Corpse God Envoy, only has more divine crystals.

Five seventh-origin divine crystals, four of them from this Corpse God Envoy.

The rest, such as divine weapons, medicinal pills, techniques, etc., all come from the Gold Splitting Gate Ancestor, after all being the foundation of a major prefecture city power.

Stowing these gains.

Li Che took out Xue Dufu's this grand master's Cosmos Jade.

Although Xue Dufu, being not dead, the Cosmos Jade cannot be opened; if forced open, it will only cause the Cosmos Jade to self-destruct and shatter.

Therefore, opening this supreme Cosmos Jade cost Li Che some effort.

Li Che directly used the Immaculate Heart Divine Nature to refine and melt this Cosmos Jade……

In silence, the Cosmos Jade completed the transfer of ownership.

Xue Dufu's attached qi and blood and martial will directly dissipated and vanished.

And Li Che also sensed the treasures stored within.

"No divine weapon, a pity indeed; that firewood knife turned crescent blade…… not obtained, ah, a huge loss."

"The grand master's absolute art《Great Desert Solitary Smoke Blade》, furthermore……"

"There is also a martial sage's absolute art!"

"《Thousand Mountains Lone Walk Blade》!"

Suddenly.

Li Che's action of checking his gains stalled.

His eyes flashed with bright light, his breathing becoming a bit hurried.

"Huh? This is..."

"Six Ministries Divine Nature Crystal?!"

The feeling of being smashed by overwhelming wealth...

Li Che experienced it once again.

Who would become numb to wealth?

Numbness is merely because the wealth isn't heavy enough.

City Lord's Mansion.

The atmosphere was heavy with gloom.

Inside the main hall, candles were lit, brightness everywhere.

Xue Dufu sat on a chair, his arms broken, now an armless old man, his complexion extremely grim.

What made his complexion even uglier was...

His Cosmos Jade was torn open!

His connection with the Cosmos Jade was severed!

"Damn it!"

Xue Dufu was furious, filled with heartache.

He wasn't worried that the dead monkey would get what's inside the Cosmos Jade.

After all, if the Cosmos Jade is forcibly opened while he's not dead, it will only trigger self-destruction, destroying the Cosmos Jade and all its treasures.

"Grandfather Dufu, don't worry too much, that Underworld Divine Monkey's strength is fundamentally not your match... he merely borrowed the Temple God's power."

The Young Lord saw Xue Dufu's grim face, on his youthful visage imitating the mature bearing of elders, comforting Grand Master Xue Dufu, winning people's hearts.

"When we return to the Prince's mansion, I will ask Father to obtain a Blood-Flesh Small Return Pill for Grandfather Dufu to help him regain his arms."

The Grand Master still cannot achieve flesh rebirth.

But upon reaching the Martial Saint realm, it becomes possible.

However, Xue Dufu's desire to reach the Martial Saint realm may be hopeless in this lifetime...

So he can only rely on external objects.

The Blood-Flesh Small Return Pill is a high-grade divine pill of the Six Ministries, not only a pill that surges qi and blood, but also one that can aid flesh regeneration!

Xue Dufu shook his head.

"Young Lord, I'm fine, this is a suffocating feeling in my heart, made disgusting by that Underworld monkey."

"If there is a next time, I will surely kill him!"

Xue Dufu's killing intent surged.

For the Grand Master, condensing divine gang into arms can also be used temporarily.

"That Underworld monkey, appearing suddenly, likely only recently arrived at Jinguan Prefecture..."

"Probably also coming for the Third Prince's Guiyi Miao."

"Underworld Divine Monkey..."

The Young Lord suddenly laughed.

"The Underworld also does assassinations, somewhat like the Hall of Hunting Gods..."

"The assassins of the Hall of Hunting Gods likely also followed us into Jinguan Prefecture City... Grandfather Dufu, go contact that assassin of the Hall of Hunting Gods, and say... we also want to issue an assassination mission, will they take it?"

Xue Dufu startled.

"Who to assassinate?"

The Young Lord grinned.

"Assassinate the divine monkey."

"Isn't the Hall of Hunting Gods rumored to be delegating business to prefecture-level cities?"

"Perfect, this Underworld is essentially competing with the Hall of Hunting Gods for business; the Hall of Hunting Gods likely won't let it go easily."

"Just right..."

"Then let them engage in dog-eat-dog beforehand!"

Xue Dufu hearing this, couldn't help but tremble, took a deep breath.

Su Huaili sitting below, his tea-drinking motion paused.

His expression also showed astonishment.

The Young Lord...

Starting to resemble the Old Lord!

Time like sand, flows unnoticed at the fingertips.

In the continuous winter rain, amidst falling snow, five days quietly passed.

Since the last Grand Master battle, five days have passed.

The entire Jinguan Prefecture City, from turmoil, gradually returned to calm.

However, the undercurrents were surging, yet every faction could sense them.

Originally, within the prefectural city, some second- and third-rate small forces had restrained their movements, not daring to be too ostentatious.

One day, the winter rain fell like cow's hair.

Fallen Flower Alley, an independent workshop courtyard.

Heat waves rolled, breath surged.

Tiger roars, leopard growls, and thunderous sounds surged!

A powerful airflow shot forth, and the sky-full of winter rain could not fall.

The temperature in the entire courtyard rose by many degrees, scorching beyond compare, as if a furnace were desperately radiating intense heat.

Li Che stood in the center of the courtyard, five fingers gripping a spear of gold and red junction, like a twelve-foot staff, mighty and heavy.

The Tiger Leopard Thunderclap Cracking Gold Spear, perhaps because it was forged with the fusion of qi and blood rosy radiance.

It was almost in sync with Li Che's mind and spirit, becoming extremely easy to wield.

Li Che stood still, eyes closed; the next moment, his eyes snapped open, and his whole body exuded a vast, desolate aura.

With a single step, it seemed as if countless mountains were spanned beneath him, striding alone across the vast heavens and earth, treading lonely amidst a thousand mountains!

Vast and lonely thoughts surged like rolling waves!

The Tiger Leopard Thunderclap Spear in Li Che's hand trembled; instantly, the tiger leopard thunderclap erupted, transforming into an extremely sharp blade of light that slashed down fiercely!

Spanning thousands of mountains and myriad waters, it descended!

The air burst open with a circle of invisible trembling ripples!

"Martial Saint's absolute art, the Thousand Mountains Lone Walk Blade… minor achievement!"

Li Che's muscles and bones trembled; after his Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit reached LV4, the boost to his fleshly strength was immense.

After shedding his mortal form and remaking his bones, he in one fell swoop broke through from the early stage of Grandmaster to the later stage of Grandmaster, and moreover gained a physical strength explosion at the level of innate divine power!

Even an ordinary Grandmaster at perfection, Li Che could easily crush without relying on the temple god's pieces.

"The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit reaching LV4 brings an even greater improvement…… in martial arts comprehension! My comprehension…… is somewhat heaven-defying!"

"Even if it is a Martial Saint's absolute art, in just five days one can grasp it to the minor achievement level……"

Li Che's eyes sparkled, and he laughed.

"From Grandmaster to Great Grandmaster…… the most important is the refinement of the five viscera and six bowels; actually, what matters is the human body's five viscera, refined with true intent, finally condensing into the body's great elixir, merging with martial will, forging divine gang, thus achieving divine gang Great Grandmaster……"

"If my five viscera and six bowels were all refined with Martial Saint's true intent…… how would that be?"

"Others refine their five viscera and six bowels with Martial Saint's true intent, each being a Martial Saint's absolute art; I, however, can master multiple arts, each Martial Saint's absolute art tempering one organ!"

"However, Martial Saint's absolute arts are hard to come by……"

Li Che shook his head slightly.

He had this idea, but the conditions seemed not to allow it.

Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant, Harmonious Origin Heaven-Seizing Staff, plus the Thousand Mountains Lone Walk Blade—these are three Martial Saint's absolute arts.

"Mm, that little prince still possesses a Martial Saint's absolute art, Myriad Dragons Subduing Gods!"

"Thus calculated, we are still missing one……"

As for where to obtain this one, Li Che really has no clue.

"The Great Grandmaster's absolute art, 'Great Desert Lone Smoke Blade,' can barely…… serve as a substitute." Li Che shook his head, feeling dissatisfied inside.

He put away the Tiger Leopard Thunderclap Cracking Gold Spear.

Li Che directly sat cross-legged in the courtyard.

These five days passed very peacefully.

After that little prince was beaten by Xixi, he seemed to quiet down, or perhaps, unwilling to fulfill the slave wager, he began to play dead.

Waiting for the temple god resonance conference to begin.

Xixi was extremely dissatisfied, muttering every day about that little prince Ji Haihui, this useless and love-to-play cheat.

Martial arts training ended.

Li Che then took out that precious beyond compare Six Sovereign Divinity Crystal obtained from Xue Du Fu's Cosmos Jade!

About the size of a duck egg, its surface flickered with many milky white streams of light.

With a thought of mind and spirit.

【Dao Fruit: Immaculate Heart (LV3, 70%)】

Over these five days, Li Che would each day pick up this Six Sovereign Divinity Crystal and absorb a wave.

About one-third of the divinity within this Six Sovereign Divinity Crystal had been consumed; it should be Xue Du Fu's reserve specially prepared for assaulting the Divine Origin realm.

Now it has become a bargain for Li Che.

However, the absorption of this Six Sovereign Divinity Crystal is not as smooth as when he first obtained the Seven Elements Divinity Crystal.

It should be said that the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit's uptake is somewhat cautious.

Fearing that pure and powerful divinity would surge in and harm Li Che.

Thus, he absorbs a little each day, slowly refining it.

But the speed of improvement is not slow; in five days, the maturity can increase by 40%!

At this rate, after a few more days, it will reach LV4 level!

Li Che is still quite looking forward to it.

One must admit, resources are crucial for cultivation.

As time flowed, Li Che's main body and his painting immortal avatars together toiled over divinity.

The Painting Immortal Dao Fruit also reached LV2 level; the avatars' speed of absorbing divinity has indeed increased greatly.

After reaching LV2, the Painting Immortal Dao Fruit's painted avatars consume less divinity and blood, last longer, and are stronger!

Moreover, there was an additional function: Li Che's consciousness could fully descend upon a clone, allowing him to control this painting immortal clone as if manipulating his true body!

Li Che even began to anticipate what kind of embryonic divine ability would awaken when the painting immortal's Dao fruit reached LV3!

When the maturity piled up to 78%, the Six Ministries' divinity crystals dimmed, making it impossible to draw divinity from them anymore.

Li Che thus gave up today's divinity cultivation.

He stretched his body, stood up, and his eyes flickered.

"Five days have passed……"

"My condition has also recovered to peak perfection; I can try to enter that golden divine hall within the Heavenly King Tower's divine gate."

"Let's see if the Heavenly King's anger has subsided……"

"Are you willing to let me touch you?"

Li Che rubbed his chin, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled into a smile.

The next moment.

Li Che spread his five fingers, his palm empty as nothing, in the instant he clenched it.

It felt as if he had grasped the Flying Thunder chess piece lingering within the Heavenly King Tower's divine gate, inside that golden divine hall.

And Li Che's figure also shifted into that divine hall.

Inside the divine hall.

Li Che quietly stood still, perked up his ears, and listened for any movement.

If the Heavenly King's little temper hasn't yet dissipated.

Then Li Che would try another day……

"Huh? No movement…… It seems the Heavenly King's little temper has faded."

Li Che laughed, his mood greatly improved.

Standing within the divine hall, his dark robe stirred without wind, his gaze swept over and fell upon the enormous golden Heavenly King statue.

Among the Seven Gates Divine Aspect Method that Li Che cultivates, one is obtained from the golden divine hall: the "Six Ministries Contemplation Fearless Golden Heavenly King Divine Aspect Method."

Now Li Che's thought-divine foundation has already reached perfection, achieving the level of observing divine aspects.

At this moment, Li Che gazing at this Heavenly King divine aspect, as he revolved the divine aspect method in his mind, he felt that within his thought-divine foundation, like a millstone, the shape of the Heavenly King slowly began to be outlined.

Like woodcarving craftsmanship, first outline the shape, then carve……

After observing for a while, Li Che felt his divine consciousness swell, a dizzy sensation coming, due to the massive consumption of divine consciousness.

The mightier the divine statue observed, the greater the divine consciousness consumed.

"As for divinity…… my talent is truly ordinary; whether it's divine secret arts or divine law, I'm not a genius."

Li Che shook his head and let out a faint sigh.

Unlike the martial way, his comprehension is terrifyingly strong.

Martial sage's absolute learning can achieve minor accomplishment in five days!

In a year, he could likely achieve major accomplishment!

If such speed were to spread, it would probably scare to death even a grand master like Xue Dufu.

Concluding the act of observing divine aspects.

Li Che exhaled, stood up, and within the divine hall, he freely jumped and moved about.

To loosen up his body.

In the gaps of his activity, he slowly approached the imposing golden Heavenly King statue that supports the Heavenly King Tower, pretending to step closer unintentionally.

As if probing the bottom line of the golden Heavenly King.

Once the bottom line is breached, he can then act as he pleases.

When he drew within roughly a chi of it.

Li Che's brows relaxed and his eyes smiled.

He slowly raised the Hand of Sin.

He pressed it against the vast, wall-like shoe surface of the Heavenly King statue.

However……

At the very moment Li Che's palm pressed against the Heavenly King statue.

Li Che's expression suddenly changed drastically.

His divine consciousness surged.

He immediately sensed that the mythic divine weapon【Equal Heaven's Face】, hovering on the chessboard of the Heaven-Earth within the【Chess Sage】Dao fruit,

suddenly began to tremble violently!

Countless monkey hairs spread from that mask, writhing around, intertwining on the chessboard……

And inside the divine hall.

Li Che likewise instantly came to his senses, feeling something, and jerked his head up.

He saw that the enormous Heavenly King statue supporting the pagoda, at some unknown time, had leaned its body forward, head thrust forward, eyes wide and glaring, looking down at him.

And on Li Che's face.

Countless gilded monkey hairs sprouted.

The Equal Heaven's Face……

had unknowingly already covered his face.
