173. Chapter 172: The Heavenly Equal Face melds weapons and tempers the body, Li Che's God-Hunting Pavilion assassination price 【Seeking Monthly Votes】

Heavenly King and the Heavenly Equal…

They locked eyes!

Li Che never expected that touching the Golden Heavenly King statue would trigger such an accident!

The mythic weapon Heavenly Equal Face placed within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard seemed to be automatically triggered, like a guardian protecting its master, directly covering his face!

Countless monkey hairs sprouted, a mighty and splendid will surged forth, as if the Heavenly Equal had descended, instantly bursting forth in a tumultuous surge.

Within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.

Li Che watched as the Heavenly Equal Face trembled violently.

Then, it inflated like a balloon, starting from a mask, filling out, and transformed into a true ape-like silhouette.

A powerful aura surged within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.

It caused numerous Innocent Heart chess pieces to chime and clatter.

The Seven Element Corpse Curse Mother-Child Seal suppressed within it trembled with fear, its refinement speed suddenly accelerated, and was completely refined by Li Che.

But Li Che, at this moment, couldn't be bothered to pay attention to such a minor detail.

His eyes fixed on the image reflected before him.

Inside the Golden Hall.

In an instant, countless cloud vaults surged, winds and clouds churned, misty waves vast, the hall instantly became boundless, clouds rolling like a vast sea!

The Golden Heavenly King stood like a towering tree reaching the heavens amidst the sea of clouds, golden and radiant, magnificent and splendid, like a blazing great sun.

The countless golden rays it shed were like myriad sharp sword glints, stretching across the cloud sea, tearing the firmament!

The Heavenly King lowered his body, glared angrily, held aloft the pagoda, as if glaring at a brazen wretch who dared to offend him!

And Li Che, whose face was covered by the Heavenly Equal Face, grew countless golden monkey hairs all over his face, his dark robe fluttering wildly.

His eyes seemed to burst with golden light, he raised his head fearlessly and calmly, locking eyes with that Heavenly King!

"Reckless monkey!"

The Golden Heavenly King grasped the golden pagoda and shouted sternly.

Instantly, the hall trembled with a booming roar, continuously shaking, countless clouds and mist exploded like a colossal wave rising from a vast sea!

Li Che was within the Chess Sage Dao Fruit.

His gaze was piercing.

He saw the Heavenly King angrily shout, while he, wearing the Heavenly Equal Face and seeming to incarnate the Heavenly Equal, bent his legs sharply, shot upward, clenched his five fingers, as if a golden staff had been drawn from the swirling clouds and mist and grasped in his hand!

"Ah… reckless monkey…"

The Heavenly King watched the figure shooting up before him, brandishing the massive staff, and let out a distant sigh.

The next moment, the Seven Treasure Sarira Wishful Golden Pagoda in his hand buzzed and vibrated, then shot sideways in an instant.

Countless streams of light poured down from the pagoda, fiercely shrouding the Heavenly Equal Face that brandished the golden staff.

"Even in death you won't behave, just a corner of a mask, yet you dare to unleash the havoc of heaven."

"A reckless monkey is just a reckless monkey…"

"Wielding the Heavenly Equal Staff, fight to the last, shedding every last drop of blood…"

The Heavenly King gave a light sigh.

"All the gods…"

"Can they still return?"

…

…

Boom—rumble—rumble!

The sea of clouds surged and exploded with a thunderous roar.

Li Che felt the world spin, and the next moment he opened his eyes to find everything seeming like an illusion.

His palm pressed against the shoe of the Golden Heavenly King statue, which was like a wall surface.

The Heavenly King statue did not lower its head, nor did it cast out the Golden Heavenly King pagoda, scattering down thousands upon thousands of golden threads of light.

It seemed as if everything was merely his fantasy.

But Li Che was certain that what he had just seen was not false.

He seemed to truly have seen two temple gods gazing at each other across the void, clashing across the void.

It seemed like the clash between the Heavenly Equal Face and the Golden Heavenly King pagoda.

Li Che released his hand, stepped back two paces, his expression extremely complex.

These temple gods…

Are they really dead?

If these temple gods truly died, why did they die?

And why did the Guiyi Miao sprout up like bamboo shoots after rain in this world, bringing strangeness and cultivation to it?

Li Che does not understand; now he is still far too far from grasping the truth of this world.

Before the true temple gods, he is as weak as an ant.

Even a Smelting Furnace Grandmaster, in the eyes of the temple gods, masters and grand masters are merely mortal ants.

"Never mind, these are not things I can control."

"I only need to grow stronger, strengthen my foundation, protect my wife and daughter's safety, watch my daughter grow up, and pursue longevity…"

Li Che murmured softly.

He stepped forward again, his five fingers once more landing on the Golden Heavenly King statue.

A dark-gold Golden Heavenly King chess piece.

It was instantly condensed and absorbed by him.

It crashed down into the Heaven-Earth Chessboard of the 【Chess Saint】's Dao Fruit.

The intersecting lines on the chessboard instantly bent under pressure, as if spacetime had sunk, and the spacetime lines flowed around the dark-gold chess piece.

Li Che raised his head, vigilantly sensing the situation in all directions.

According to his experience, the moment he finished absorbing the Temple God chess piece, the Heavenly King probably had already grown angry and kicked down fiercely.

But this time, there was none!

The Heavenly King's temper has improved?!

Can he be allowed to do as he pleases?

Li Che's eyes lit up.

A meeting between Equal to Heaven and the Heavenly King seemed to… deepen the Heavenly King's fondness for him a bit.

Li Che was in great spirits, pressing his palm against the Heavenly King's divine statue, and again absorbed the Temple God chess piece!

When the second dark-gold Heavenly King chess piece was drawn out by him.

The Heavenly King immediately moved.

A roaring sound shook the entire Divine Hall.

Li Che's eyes narrowed, without hesitation he grasped the Flying Thunder chess piece.

Make a swift escape!

Alright, indeed, the so-called increase in favor… is all an illusion.

However, having obtained two dark-gold Heavenly King chess pieces on this trip is enough!

Inside the Golden Divine Hall.

Once again fell into dead silence.

Devoid of life, devoid of movement, quiet as if it were a sealed ancient tomb.

After a long while.

Only then did a faint laughter linger.

"This sneaky strength…"

"Still quite like it."

……

……

Fallen Flower Alley, inside the Independent Workshop.

Continuous winter rain.

Li Che returned, and the freezing rain that pierced to the marrow lashed at his neck, seeping down into his collar.

But it was instantly vaporized by Li Che's immensely powerful qi and blood!

He sat cross-legged on the now-dry ground of the courtyard.

Li Che slowly opened his eyes, his pupils seeming to shoot forth endless golden rays.

He exhaled, recalling the scene inside the Golden Divine Hall, his heart still trembling.

He shook his head, no longer thinking about it.

"The Heavenly King is indeed a Heavenly King, not the slightest bit of grandeur…"

Li Che stood up, stretched, and his tensed bones instantly crackled with booming sounds.

"My physical body… has grown stronger!"

"【Equal to Heaven's Face】 gains stimulation, the Mythic Weapon tempers my flesh… just as Xixi's Fire Tip Spear was stimulated by the Ji Hai Society's Dragon God Bloodline, aiding in body tempering."

"Once the Mythic Weapon tempering is adapted to, my flesh may be able to wield divine weapons."

He flicked his sleeves, Li Che felt refreshed and invigorated.

This tempering session turned out to be an unexpected gain, making the Smelting Forge Grandmaster's physical body even more formidable.

After adapting to the slightly strengthened body from the tempering, Li Che then donned a bamboo hat, wore dark robes, and went to work at the Treasure Tower of the Imperial Observatory on the cliff.

In the small courtyard, the 【Painting Immortal】's avatars diligently trained, their Divine Foundation cultivated to perfection, and they began Observing the Divine.

As a woodcarver, Li Che could naturally make his own divine statues.

However, for Observing the Divine, Li Che is preparing a Seven-Element Divine Eagle.

Now, Li Che finds it still rather laborious to carve a Seven-Element Divine Eagle.

Each time he carves a Seven-Element Divine Eagle, his divine sense falls into weakness, but it's no big issue; after recovering, he carves again.

Moreover, he integrates the mythic impressions from his past life into his mind.

The carved divine statues are lifelike, brimming with divinity.

After Observing the Divine, efficiency is extremely high!

Have the avatars practice Observing the Divine.

While he himself goes about completing his daily tasks.

Go to the Imperial Observatory to clock in for work.

Upon reaching the Treasure Tower of the Imperial Observatory, the indoor charcoal fire burns, warm as spring, extremely comfortable, making people relax slightly.

Shangguan Qinghong took off her shoes, sat on the chair, reading a romance novel while eating melon seeds with relish.

After Li Che greeted Shangguan Qinghong,

he then headed upstairs to the Treasure Tower of the Imperial Observatory.

He is now a Second-Class Guest Official, his status different from before, with a dedicated private office.

The area is extremely large, suitable for cultivation, carving, secluded meditation, and so on.

Just arrived at the second floor, I saw Lu Yao, the Deputy Supervisor of the Dao City Imperial Observatory, walking down from upstairs, with Tang Ren following beside him.

Tang Ren saw Li Che's eyes suddenly light up: "Uncle Che, we're going to visit Old Master Tang Sanjia; do you want to come along?"

Upon hearing this, Li Che shook his head.

His Guanyin Sitting Lotus main battle tank had not yet been fully cast, so he did not go to visit Tang Sanjia.

Tang Sanjia instructed him, saying that once he had finished crafting such a mechanism as the Guanyin Sitting Lotus main battle tank, he should come and speak with him.

Now that the mechanism is incomplete, there is naturally no rush.

During these days, Li Che also practiced that school of mechanism secret art, the Nine Seals of Mechanisms.

This Mechanism Nine Seals is not a grandmaster's secret art, nor is it the secret art of a grandmaster and a martial sage.

However, its power is by no means inferior.

Up to now, with the help of the 【Immortal Artisan】 LV4 Dao Fruit, Li Che has barely managed to grasp two mechanism seals.

When these two mechanism seals are implanted into a mechanism beast, they can make the beast more agile.

Although Tang Sanjia has a matter asking Li Che for help.

But it is not now; Li Che has no need for spirit wood, so he temporarily does not go to Spirit Eagle Ridge.

"Alright." Tang Ren felt a bit regretful.

He simply wanted to get on good terms with Xixi's father, to gain favor.

He is not like Gong Yuanliang, Hai Chaosheng, and Gongyang Xiu, who constantly circle around Xixi all day!

He wants to blaze a new trail!

First, conquer Xixi's father!

Li Che merely glanced lightly at Tang Ren, this little yellow-haired fellow, whose thoughts are impure.

Lu Yao smiled as he looked at Li Che; he was very pleased with Li Che.

His woodcarving talent is excellent, and he is neither arrogant nor impatient; he can come to work at the Imperial Observatory every day, carving woodcarvings there and honing his skills.

The only pity is that his cultivation is somewhat weak.

Profound Pulse Martial Artist, Divine Foundation initial stage……

Such cultivation, as the father of a divine prodigy like Xixi, is indeed a rather large disparity.

"By the way, Ache, I've received news that over in Dao City… a Deputy Director of the Temple Office at the grandmaster level, bearing a divine child treasured by the Temple Office, is escorting the Four Divine Guardians' 【Hell Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel】 together with a Divine True Person of the Qianyuan Divine Sect……"

"When the Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel reaches Guangming Prefecture, it will be the time to open the Third Prince's Guiyi Miao and conduct the deity resonance."

Lu Yao reminded Li Che.

Li Che's brows tightened upon hearing this; have they finally arrived?

"Your Xixi's talent is not bad; she should be influenced by the deity's divinity, possibly even producing a bloodline mutation, obtaining an exceptionally favorable bloodline talent!"

"So, this deity resonance presents a great opportunity……"

Lu Yao greatly appreciated Li Che, so he reminded: "These days, let her often imitate the image of the Third Prince's deity."

Upon hearing this, Li Che smiled and nodded in response.

"Moreover… recently, traces of the God-Hunting Pavilion have been discovered within Guangming Prefecture."

Lu Yao said.

Upon hearing this, Li Che's steps halted, his expression becoming solemn.

"That infamous assassin organization, the God-Hunting Pavilion, which is renowned in both Shendu and Dao City?"

Lu Yao nodded: "You need to be careful; the God-Hunting Pavilion is an assassin organization… they will kill for money, and it seems they are looking to expand their operations into the prefecture city."

"The young prince might possibly contact the God-Hunting Pavilion to move against Xixi; Xixi defeating the young prince Ji Hai would be one matter, while the young prince wanting to eliminate a rival is another."

"During this time, have Xixi pay attention to her safety."

If it weren't for valuing Li Che, Lu Yao would never have given him such a reminder.

Li Che, solemnly, clasped his fists in salute and thanked Lu Yao.

Lu Yao waved his hand, took little Tang Ren, left the Imperial Observatory's treasure hall, entered a carriage, and headed toward Spirit Eagle Ridge.

Li Che stood rooted in place, his eyes flickering.

"God-Hunting Pavilion……"

The God-Hunting Pavilion has never interfered with affairs outside of Shendu and Dao City.

But now, there is a trend of extending down to the prefecture city……

The assassins of the God-Hunting Pavilion still excel at the art of assassination.

However, when it comes to the art of assassination,

Li Che, inwardly, does not yield to anyone.

……

……

Li Che finished work and returned home, his face solemn and heavy.

He first went into the alleys of Luohua Lane, packed up some food, and then directly returned to Zhenglei Peak.

In the small courtyard.

Zhang Ya was practicing her fist techniques in the light drizzle; although she had only recently finished tempering her bones, after Li Che's purification of her innocent heart, her martial arts talent had improved somewhat.

But ultimately her foundation was too weak; in a short time, breaking through bone tempering was unlikely.

Zhang Ya also didn't mind; she trained very earnestly, each punch and form orderly, and even if it was extremely tedious, she would not complain at all.

Because she knew that only through diligent and hard training could she have even a faint hope of catching up to her daughter and husband!

Zhang Ya even felt somewhat despondent, thinking that she was dragging down Xixi's talent.

She, as a mother, has no talent.

My husband is an ox demon; he definitely has talent, and Xixi definitely inherited her husband's cultivation talent.

"My husband!"

Zhang Ya's eyes sparkled; she had been thinking of her husband, and just then her husband returned.

Li Che entered the courtyard, saw Zhang Ya practicing her fists, and instantly softened into a smile.

After giving Zhang Ya some pointers, Li Che, seeing that the time was about right, took Zhang Ya's hand, and the couple went together to Gold Light Peak to pick up Xixi after school.

"Father, Mother!"

Xixi was on the open field, practicing her fists together with many other children.

Li Che had just arrived at Gold Light Peak when he nearly blacked out.

Because the children's outfits were really……

Every child had their hair tied into sky‑reaching ox‑horn braids, wore a red dudou, and had red silk wrapped around their bodies.

They were imitating the Third Prince's attire!

Even that little fatty Zhou Peng dressed like that, becoming a meatball version of the Third Prince.

That red dudou couldn't even cover his drooping belly, exposing his navel—truly an eyesore!

As for the stunning Yun'e, this outfit could not hide her natural, breathtaking beauty.

Xixi was dressed the same way—barefoot, in a red dudou and small underpants—when she saw Li Che and Zhang Ya.

She sprang up excitedly, her little feet moving at a high frequency.

She rushed toward Li Che, the red silk behind her fluttering wildly in the wind!

"Father——!"

Xixi let out a loud cheer, shooting toward Li Che like a bullet and crashing into his arms.

Li Che helplessly embraced his overly lively daughter.

The other children also ran over, following behind the eldest sister.

Li Che looked at the crowd of "Third Princes" and felt dazed, half laughing, half crying.

They had already begun preparing for the temple god's resonance.

But how could this scene be so ridiculous?

Nan Lihuo and Wang Kuyu arrived floating, the rain parting to either side of them, giving them an air of transcendence.

"For the temple god's resonance… it's like this."

"Every time it's like this; most people dress according to the Third Prince's appearance to increase resonance with the temple god."

Nan Lihuo said with a smile.

"Little Sang, Yangyuan… we all went through this as children; even I did."

"Red dudou, ox‑horn braids, red silk wrapped around the body… most of the spirit children of Gold Light Prefecture have worn such attire."

Li Che couldn't help but laugh: "Elder Qing Shan, do you have such a dark history too?"

"Dark history?" Nan Lihuo exclaimed, taken aback.

That description… is actually quite fitting.

"Li Qing Shan doesn't have that; he revealed his talent later on and was taken in as a disciple."

Nan Lihuo explained in a sentence.

"Ah Che, why not leave Xixi at Gold Light Peak for these days?"

"I've heard that assassins from the God‑Hunter Pavilion have appeared in the prefectural city; I fear that the little prince Ji Hai will hire them to attack Xixi."

Nan Lihuo said.

Since the last time Xu Jiuqing plotted against Xixi, Nan Lihuo has realized that Li Che no longer trusts their methods of protecting Xixi.

As expected, Li Che shook his head.

Nan Lihuo gave a helpless smile.

It wasn't worth dwelling on too much.

"With Elder Qing Shan on Zhenglei Peak, plus the life‑saving item I prepared for Xixi, we should be able to hold out until Elder Qingshan makes a move."

Li Che nodded.

"By the way, for the coming days we'll keep this outfit; don't change Xixi's appearance—let the image sink into her bones and flesh, which will help the temple god's resonance."

"That's advice from experience."

Before leaving Gold Light Peak, Nan Lihuo gave a reminder.

Afterward, Li Che and Zhang Ya held Xixi and left Gold Light Peak.

"Sect Master, farewell!"

"Daoist Grandfather, farewell!"

Xixi enthusiastically bade farewell to Nan Lihuo and Wang Kuyu.

With acquaintances, Xixi always shows sufficient enthusiasm.

……

……

Gold Light Prefecture, winter rain drizzles continuously.

It falls softly upon the world.

It brings a washed‑clear azure to the prefectural city that has been blanketed in snow all winter.

Xue Dufu wore a bamboo hat, his sleeves lifted by the arms condensed with gangqi.

He sat in an unremarkable tavern, holding a cup, and drank slowly.

The liquor went down his throat, without any particularly fine wine taste.

After all, it was merely the home-brewed wine made by the tavern keeper.

But its virtue lay in its simple, earthy charm, which made Xue Dufu quite fond of it.

Shortly thereafter, a figure wearing a veil-covered bamboo hat, wrapped head to toe in a black robe, and wearing an iron black mask, sat opposite Xue Dufu.

"The Nine Declines of Heaven and Man."

"God-hunting is calamity."

The two engaged in question and answer.

Thus their identities were confirmed.

Xue Dufu did not pour wine for the newcomer, continuing to pour and drink by himself.

"Young Lord, you invited a Grand Master to make contact; I wonder what assassination mission you wish to post?"

"Our Hunter God Pavilion works this way; even if you are the assassination target, you still have the right to post an assassination mission, as long as you pay enough."

The black-robed figure laughed and said.

"The Hunter God Pavilion has stationed itself in the prefecture city; it seems the Young Lord will become its first patron."

Xue Dufu glanced at the black-robed figure.

The black-robed figure leaned back in the chair and said, "Young Lord... who do you wish to kill?"

Xue Dufu took a sip of the yellow wine, then set down his cup.

He said calmly, "The Underworld... the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and also the Divine Monkey."

The black-robed figure opposite paused, then shook his head.

"I won't take it."

"Huh?"

Xue Dufu frowned.

"The Ox-Head and Horse-Face of the Underworld and the Divine Monkey are unpredictable in their whereabouts, making assassination extremely difficult, with a very high failure rate... and that Divine Monkey even possesses combat power at the Grand Master level."

"The Hunter God Pavilion's first mission in the prefecture city cannot be one with an extremely high failure rate."

The black-robed person of the Hunter God Pavilion said calmly.

"Moreover, the beings of the Underworld... have mysterious origins, suspected to be linked to the destroyed ancient legacy Equal Heaven Temple; therefore, the price for assassinating the Underworld's denizens will be double the normal rate."

Xue Dufu snorted: "The Hunter God Pavilion, which claims it can hunt even temple gods... is nothing more than that."

"It actually dares not accept any mission."

"The Underworld, is it really that frightening?"

The black-robed person shook his head with a light laugh: "Grand Master Xue need not use provocation on me; you were just struck by the monkey... you understand better than I."

"Damn!"

Xue Dufu felt a surge of anger in his chest!

He had not only been struck by the monkey, but also robbed by it!

This scar, laid bare so openly, infuriates him!

However, Xue Dufu endured it; this matter will sooner or later become his laughingstock.

"Then let's first switch to a simple assassination mission, and afterwards take on the mission to assassinate the Underworld's denizens?"

Xue Dufu said calmly.

"Sure." The black-robed person, upon hearing this, nodded.

"Then Young Lord... who else do you wish to assassinate?"

"Is it Li Nuanxi you wish to assassinate?"

The black-robed person laughed, as if he had anticipated it.

However.

Xue Dufu's eyes flickered; he gave the black-robed person an odd look and shook his head.

"No..."

"Li Nuanxi... the Young Lord wishes to kill her himself."

"What the Young Lord wants you to assassinate..."

"... is Li Nuanxi's parents."

"Li Che and his wife."

"Young Lord... wishes to make Li Nuanxi an orphan, gradually destroying everything precious to her."

"First her parents, then her teachers, then her senior fellow disciples..."

Xue Dufu said softly.

Beneath the black-robed person's mask, his eyes were sharp.

What a ruthless Young Lord.

He indeed inherited the cruelty and vengefulness of the Dragon Empress Consort.

"This mission... shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"No one would likely expect that the Young Lord's assassination target..."

Xue Dufu gave a faint smile.

"Li Che and his wife..."

The black-robed person narrowed his eyes.

"Li Che, father of the Divine Prodigy Li Nuanxi of the Golden Light Branch Sect, at the Divine Foundation Initial Stage and Qi Blood Mystic Pulse Realm; the assassination price is two Seven-Element Divine Crystals."

"Zhang Ya, mother of Li Nuanxi and wife of Li Che, with Bone-Tempering cultivation; the assassination price is ten Nine Luminaries Divine Crystals."

The black-robed person indifferently quoted a price.

Xue Dufu narrowed his eyes: 'Killing this Li Che…… the price is so high?'

The black-robed person glanced at him: 'Li Che also has another identity, a second-rank guest official of the Imperial Observatory; assassinating a second-rank guest official of the Imperial Observatory requires enduring the wrath of Divine Origin True Person Lu Yao……'

'The price is naturally not low.'

'This is still considering that Li Che's cultivation is not high.'

Xue Dufu was startled.

'This Li Che actually still has such an identity.'

Of course, he was even more surprised that the Hunter God Pavilion's intelligence had already been investigated thoroughly.

'What about the price for hunting the Ox Demon, Horse Face, and Divine Monkey?'

Xue Dufu asked.

The black-robed person curled his fingers and lightly tapped the tabletop: 'Ox Demon, Horse Face, each ten Seven Element Divine Crystals; Divine Monkey…… three Six Offices Divine Crystals.'

Xue Dufu took a deep breath.

Even though he is a Grand Master with substantial wealth, he…… was still shocked by this assassination price.

How could it be so expensive?

You should know that, in the Hunter God Pavilion's assassination prices, Xue Dufu apparently only had one Six Offices Divine Crystal!

The Divine Monkey's price is actually two Six Offices Divine Crystals higher than his!

'First take Li Che and his wife's lives!'

'The denizens of the Underworld…… we'll talk about them later.'

Xue Dufu indifferently said, in his view, Li Che and his wife's lives…… were easily plucked by the Hunter God Pavilion.

On the other hand, the Underworld's denizens are troublesome and hard to deal with, and moreover, this time the bidder is the Young Lord, so he dare not act rashly.

He can only handle them one by one, first fulfilling the Young Lord's request.

As the Temple God Resonance Assembly is about to begin, let Li Nuanxi become an orphan!

Disturb her heart, disrupt her will!

……

……

Proper Thunder Peak.

Inside the small courtyard.

Li Che's family returned, holding up oil-paper umbrellas.

Back in the courtyard, Xixi still had her horns tied in an upward cattle-horn braid, wore a red dudou, and had a Primordial Vajra Ring around her neck.

She actually bore somewhat the air of the Third Prince.

Chen Lao puffed on his dry tobacco, smacking his lips, scrutinizing Xixi's unique appearance, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xixi bared her teeth and claws, not letting Chen Lao laugh.

One old and one young started roughhousing in the courtyard.

Li Qing Shan and Granny Mu brought Lu Chi as well.

As soon as Lu Chi appeared, he wore the same outfit as Xixi, though Lu Chi had always dressed this way, so…… there wasn't much of a contrast.

'Lu Chi has participated in a Temple God Resonance before; he's come to give Xixi some guidance.'

Li Qing Shan and Granny Mu sat down.

Zhang Ya poured them clear tea.

'This session, does Lu Chi also want to participate?'

Li Che asked.

Li Qing Shan nodded: 'Give it a try; maybe we'll obtain the inheritance.'

'Actually, it's not just Lu Chi; as long as the age hasn't exceeded the limit, spirit children and divine children, even if they've previously participated in the Temple God Resonance, will still continue to participate.'

'After all, this session is somewhat different.'

Li Che nodded.

This also made Li Che feel a sense of nervousness, along with anxiety over gains and losses.

Although Xixi hid a Purple Flame Serpent Fire-tip Spear in her arm……

But it's not certain she can secure the top spot in the Temple God Resonance!

The Town Temple Office, the Imperial Observatory, the Young Lord, and even the Corpse God Sect hidden in darkness…… are likely preparing divine children……

These forces' foundations are also not to be underestimated.

If one looks down on the world, one is arrogant and overconfident.

But one will suffer a great loss!

As parents, we always worry about our children's exam situations, feeling anxious about gains and losses.

Even if the child is already excellent, we still worry about losing their original intention, performing abnormally, and so on.

So, we still need to increase Xixi's foundation.

Since parents can give their children better capital and foundation, they will naturally spare no effort to give the best!

At least……

Properly stimulate that Purple Flame Serpent Fire-tip Spear.

Just as last time, Xixi unleashed the power of the Purple Flame Serpent Fire-tip Spear, overwhelming the Young Lord Ji Hai Hui, beating him so he couldn't find north.

This is merely a process of the Fire-tip Spear fusing with Xixi.

Nowadays, Xixi's fusion degree with the Fire-tip Spear is too low, to the point she cannot even summon its physical form.

If within the resonance of the temple deity, one could summon the fire-tip spear...

That would truly be Xixi Great Emperor sweeping all invincible, looking down upon the world.

Unfortunately, if we wait for Xixi to herself resonate with the divine weapon, using the divine weapon to temper the body, who knows how long it will take to master...

Li Che, as a father, naturally has the responsibility and duty to help his daughter strengthen her foundation!

"The Purple Flame Serpent Spear Fire-tip Spear is what Xixi obtained from the Golden Divine Hall."

"If I stimulate with the dark-gold heavenly king chess piece, I don't know..." Li Che's eyes flickered, and suddenly a thought surged.

If the dark-gold heavenly king chess piece has no effect.

Then...

Li Che could even try using the mythic weapon 【Face of the Equal Heaven】 to test it out.

The Face of the Equal Heaven can stimulate the Golden Heavenly King within the temple...

It should also be able to stimulate the fire-tip spear, right?

Moreover, the little prince's false dragon god can also stimulate the fire-tip spear.

It makes no sense that the genuine mythic weapon 【Face of the Equal Heaven】...

It can't compare to the dragon god's mixed blood, right?
