Translate: "Ji Moli will surely defend her dignity!"

Therefore, how could Lü Chi dare let his subordinates' strongmen come slap his face!

Mo Lao's pallid hair fluttered as he glanced lightly at the Dragon Queen consort; his eyes held neither joy nor sorrow, with little emotional fluctuation.

The Dragon Queen, a half-step Martial Saint, posed no threat in his eyes……

"Alright."

"Since you provoked the prince and earned a slap, you must have said something you shouldn't have."

Mo Lao said lightly: "Accept your loss."

His words fell.

His five fingers splayed, then lashed out violently.

Pa—!!!

Terrifying qi and blood power surged forth; the slap struck the consort's face, instantly leaving a red mark, and even a trace of blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

The consort's head tilted to one side, her eyes flashing shock, bewilderment, astonishment, and indignation!

And various other emotions!

What improper words did she say?

"Lowly girl?"

I suppose that's all it was?

This prince… has taken a liking to Li Nuanxi, that lowly girl?!

The consort is no fool; she suppressed her anger, knowing that now she is in Heavenly Origin Dao City, she has little leverage to rely on.

Although she is a consort, the Heavenly Origin Dao Chief would not intervene for her, lest he offend this immensely powerful cultivator before him.

So this humiliation, this loss……

Can only be endured!

This is the second time!

The first time was the sect leader's wife, Xuan Qisha, who, before the whole city's cultivators, struck her down to the ground with a divine talisman, nearly gravely injuring her.

This second time… just because of a single sentence, she was fiercely slapped!

The Dragon Queen consort clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms as if to embed into flesh.

Mo Lao glanced lightly at the Dragon Queen consort, his eyes showing a hint of astonishment.

Isn't the Dragon God lineage supposed to have an explosive temper and act rashly, according to rumor?

Isn't this consort clear-headed and steady?

But in fact, the consort has already suffered a loss once, so she has become wiser.

Seeing the consort offer no resistance, Mo Lao also saw no need to act; after all, with his cultivation, striking would be mere bullying, and were it not for Lü Chi's words, he would not lift a hand against a Dragon God clansman who isn't even a Martial Saint.

His figure instantly returned to Lü Chi's side.

Mo Lao suddenly looked up; the divine prison-lotus pattern on Lü Chi's brow also twitched.

He then saw a lovably simple figure, round and plump, striding forth from the torrential spring rain.

The wind and rain parted like curtains to either side, accompanied by a flash of spring thunder, and an invisible pressure spread faintly.

"Heavenly Origin Dao Chief… Yue Huanglong."

Mo Lao's expression grew somewhat solemn, he stepped slightly closer to Lü Chi and introduced in a low voice.

Lü Chi realized, his big head swaying slightly as he clasped his hands in salute.

"Your Highness, your respects, come come come, Zheng'er, hurry and prepare the residence for Your Highness… how could we neglect Your Highness?"

Yue Huanglong spoke with a full-faced simple smile, giving no trace of the oppressive might of a Dao chief.

But Mo Lao dared not relax in the slightest.

Because the Heavenly Origin Dao Chief Yue Huanglong is famed as a smiling tiger.

To be able to hold the city, aiding the Dàjǐng court in standoff for so many years with the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect anchored by Lü Taibai—how could he be an easy opponent?

Lü Chi's expression was indifferent as he greeted Yue Huanglong, who descended lightly, not a speck of rain touching him.

He amiably pulled Lü Chi's arm, his face full of simplemindedness, and led Lü Chi through the corridor toward the manor's depths.

As for the consort's side, however, no one paid her any heed at all.

……

……

Roar—!!!

A terrifying howl exploded, the immense sword light plummeted instantly, countless incantations, as if coming alive, spreading rapidly from the giant sword drawn from the temple-guarding half-divine corpse.

Huang Jiujiu seized the divine binder with five fingers, the sword-immortal sword intent burst forth, gorgeous sword light burst open, sweeping everywhere, transforming into thousands upon thousands of sword blades!

Having done it once, Huang Jiujiu became all the more practiced.

He directly hid the flying thunder pawn within a sword blade, unleashing thousands upon thousands of sword lights; even two temple-guarding half-divine corpses would never imagine that within Huang Jiujiu's sword light… lay filth!

Bang bang—!!!

After the sword light completed the transmission of the flying thunder pawn.

Huang Jiujiu, having unleashed a full-power strike, saw his divine binder's body shatter outright, turning into black mist that vanished.

On the other side, You Liqing had just broken through to the Martial Saint realm, yet Li Che brought him to face a temple-guarding half-divine corpse far beyond his current rank.

Even if he detonated his divine seed, even if he gave his all, even if his demonic python coiled and roared at the heavens…

He was still instantly slain by a single sword.

You Liqing's divine binder likewise simply turned into black mist and dissipated within the strange gate.

The two temple-guarding half-divine corpses, each ten meters tall, resembled fearsome temple vajras; they stared at each other, their scarlet eyes seeming to show bewilderment.

And the enemy?

Were they just blasted to smithereens?

How can it be so unable to take a hit?

Boom—

In the distance, the strange mist was torn apart by an overbearing force!

A thunderous angry roar accompanied by terrifying qi and blood and the Martial Saint's primordial vigor surged tumultuously within the Strange Void heaven and earth!

Feng Zhiqi was burly and broad-shouldered, his qi and blood like a transformed flood dragon python, and the entire Strange Void seemed at this moment to turn into a blank white.

This white is not that shown by the strange mist and flying snow, but the light and heat from qi and blood heated to the extreme, raging to the utmost!

This is the bearing and demeanor displayed by a Martial Saint exerting his utmost!

Feng Zhiqi was furious beyond measure; he had suppressed the guardians of the Guiyi Miao, yet someone had slipped in unbeknownst to gods and ghosts—how could he not be angry?

The strange mist was shattered by the vibrations of Feng Zhiqi's primordial vigor all over his body, as if cleaved open by an incredibly sharp great blade!

The earth-shaking sharpness, fused within the overbearing martial will, like the bursting tide of the Nine Dragon River, surged forward in rolling waves!

Before the person arrived, the winds and clouds already shifted!

However, Feng Zhiqi had just appeared when his brow furrowed.

The two temple-guarding half-divine corpse spirits' eyes turned scarlet and swollen, instantly locking onto a new target!

Amidst the clanging sounds, the entire Strange Void trembled, the huge sword was drawn, and the ground cracked with countless intertwining fissures.

The two temple-guarding half-divine corpse spirits came crashing forward in attack!

Mountains roared and seas surged; the overbearing airflow relentlessly ravaged, pouring down like a waterfall!

Boom——!!!

The terrifying collision erupted in an instant.

Li Che had just stepped into the Guiyi Miao when he glanced back.

He saw a cluster of qi and blood rising in the Strange Void, a mushroom cloud a hundred zhang high, extremely bright…

The terrifying martial will fused with heaven and earth, bursting forth with an unprecedented qi mechanism and overbearing might!

But no matter how lively the fight outside, it would not affect the interior of the Guiyi Miao in the slightest.

Passing through the white jade steps, Li Che's dark robe fluttered, he wore the ox-demon mask, his burly, sturdy frame exuding a pressure like a pagoda mountain.

Inside the Guiyi Miao, candlelight flickered dimly; rows of white candles were lit, making the interior slightly brighter.

This Guiyi Miao, as a fifth-rank Guiyi Miao, is in no way inferior in size to the other Guiyi Miao of the Two-Heart Great Saint that Li Che has visited, nor to the Golden Heavenly King's divine hall.

The altar was arranged on the central axis of the Guiyi Miao.

Li Che's gaze swept over and he saw a man in a Daoist robe, hands clasped behind his back, bearing a sheathed treasure sword.

The man had a beautiful beard and long whiskers, his eyes bright as if spirited and lively; just a glance unleashed a surging sword intent that intertwined wildly, as if in an instant manifesting six swords.

"Six Desires Slay Evil Lü Xuan Sword Immortal temple deity…"

Li Che's eyes beneath the mask overflowed with golden smoke and electric current.

His gaze fell upon the altar, upon the temple deity statue, which silently regarded him.

A thought stirred.

He clenched his five fingers, and behind his burly frame the six-wheel divine foundation instantly unfurled like a peacock spreading its tail.

The six-wheel Six Desires divine foundation burst forth with brilliant radiance!

The Seven Emotions have already been forged into a divine aspect, while the Six Desires remain a divine foundation!

Li Che also knew that tonight's exploration might be the key to whether his divine cultivation could achieve a major breakthrough.

However, Li Che furrowed his brow, gazing at the temple deity, pondering how to fuse the six-wheel divine foundation into one wheel, then carve it into this temple deity.

Six Desires Slay Evil Lü Xuan Sword Immortal…

But will it split into six?

Li Che pondered for a moment, actually finding himself without a clue, and couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.

He also could not directly use the divine ability 【Summon God】 on this temple deity.

After all, it is a fifth-rank Guiyi Miao; whether Summon God would work is still uncertain, and moreover, Li Che lacks confidence in using the Heaven-Earth Chessboard to guide and bear the summoned temple deity.

Thus, the path of Summon God is definitely not viable.

"Summon God" not feasible…

"Then let's try the second-level heavenly divine ability 【Bright God】 obtained after the three transformations of the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit?"

Li Che's eyes beneath the ox-demon mask faintly brightened.

He brushed off the mist on his dark robe and sat cross-legged before the altar.

He raised his hand and touched his brow.

Flesh tore open, the Star-Plucking Pupil appeared.

Divine ability… Bright God!

Second-level heavenly divine ability!

Within his chest, the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit throbbed violently.

Dong dong dong, dong dong dong!

Like rolling heavenly thunder, Li Che felt his eardrums vibrate; the next moment, he felt his soul as if violently propelled out of his flesh by a mighty force.

In an instant…

Everything within the Guiyi Miao seemed to have changed.

The originally dim and gloomy Guiyi Miao instantly became bright, bright to the extreme, turning into a blank white.

Only the silhouette of the temple deity on the altar remained.

The temple deity sword immortal seemed to come alive; Li Che noticed that the sword immortal's eyes were lively, gazing at him with a gentle smile.

Then the temple deity rose, moving with lively grace, hands behind its back, descending from the altar with an ethereal fairy air.

After a few steps, they arrived before Li Che, whose face resembled that of a primordial spirit emerging from its apertures.

They raised a hand, and a point touched the brow.

In an instant.

As if an azure crane cried out, the scene before them changed in a flash, and howling winds and waves surged.

Li Che lowered his gaze and saw below a city engulfed in a sea of fire, countless withered bones piled together, blood flowing and converging into a river.

Riding a crane on the wind high above, they looked down and saw a great city buried in corpses.

Before Li Che, a Daoist's robes fluttered, his beard and hair flying in the wind.

He gazed sadly at the scene below.

The sword in the case trembled, as if it wanted to soar to the heavens, striking down one's own six desires and emotions, again and again.

Li Che frowned, the Bright God activated—what scene was this?

Suddenly.

Li Che's eyes flickered with a moment of astonishment.

He saw the city name on the gate of the city sunk in a sea of fire, corpses strewn across the wilderness.

"South Separation City."

Li Che was stunned.

South Separation Fire...

South Separation Fire?

A coincidence?

Or... at this moment, the scene shown by the Sword Immortal is what the South Separation Fire once endured?

Li Che naturally knew the hatred and anger in South Separation Fire's heart—it was a desire to kill Ji Molie, who stood at the peak of Dàjǐng's martial might, with his own feeble strength!

What a deep grudge of blood and sea, to have such an unrealistic thought, even... to go and put it into practice?

South Separation Fire knew all this was Ji Molie's doing, and he could not restrain his hatred.

Suddenly.

Li Che's vision suddenly felt a sharp stab.

He lowered his gaze.

Then they saw atop the city wall a figure clad in black armor, a great red cloak billowing in the fire and wind, a stalwart form like a demon god.

Beside that demon‑god‑like stalwart figure stood four towering warriors, each over three meters tall, clad in armor, their mighty Martial Saint Yuan Gang surging like dragon shadows, tearing apart the raging winds and fire.

Those four figures surrounded the burly figure in black armor; among them, one held a lute, one held a treasure sword, one grasped a pitch-black demonic python, one held a glazed treasure umbrella, their appearance ferocious, with blue faces and fangs!

The Four Heavenly Kings?!

Li Che's heart sank slightly.

Yet he saw them standing upon the city walls of Nanli City, which had been completely submerged in a sea of fire.

Overlooking the city filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, their faces were as usual, utterly calm.

It was as if someone had casually tossed a flame into the furnace where a perfect elixir was being refined.

As if.

Using the entire city as the alchemical furnace, and the myriad common folk as the medicinal ingredients…

Refining the great elixir.

Li Che clenched his fists tightly, and in an instant he felt the burly black-armored figure standing on the city tower, holding an umbrella-spear, suddenly lift its head.

As if sensing something, a gaze fell upon him, as if it could darken heaven and earth.

Li Che felt only a stabbing pain in his eyes.

That figure…

Li Che was all too familiar with it; back when he had killed Ji Haihui within the strange gate of the Third Prince's Guiyi Miao…

The martial sage's will contained within Ji Haihui's bloodline spanned the vast distance, giving rise.

"Ji Molie…"

"Such… also deserves to be called the Pacification King?!"

Li Che murmured, his whole body trembling, countless qi and blood bursting forth uncontrollably, anger rising in his heart.

Only after a long while did he exhale a breath.

He knew that all of this was merely a scene from past events that had already occurred, like bygone times being re-presented before his eyes.

But Li Che suddenly felt a doubt arise in his heart: why…

Why, upon activating the divine ability Ming Shen, would he see such a scene?

Was it the deity of the Sword Immortal Temple… intentionally letting him see this?

Or perhaps this is what the Sword Immortal has certified, the evil that needs to be eradicated and the wickedness that must be exterminated?

However, while he still harbored some doubt, all the images shattered with a boom.

Only the image of a Daoist riding a crane, with Li Che following, seemed to rush straight up into the ninth heaven.

A Daoist's loud laughter rang out, containing surging sword intent that pierced heaven and earth.

"Level the injustices of the mortal world, and together we shall ascend to the ninth heaven."

……

"In the morning I roam the northern Yue, at dusk I rest in the southern Cangwu; in my sleeve holds the gall of a azure serpent, bold and fierce."

……

"With sword raised, stars race ten thousand miles to slay; wind and thunder at times follow the sound of rain, bold and rough."

……

The three‑foot sword on my back, for heaven and to show the unjust.

Line after line, like an immortal's long cry, between heaven and earth there rang countless clangs of metal and halberd, and countless sword lights danced like dragons.

In a vague moment, the mud pill at the brow jumped, as if some insight had been gained.

Finally……

By Li Che's ear, only a faint sigh remained, like a grand vow, as resonant as a great bell and grand lute.

«Only after saving all beings can one become an immortal…»

Boom——!!!

Countless streams of light shattered.

Li Che opened his eyes again, finding himself still seated on the ground, everything inside the Guiyi Miao as usual as before.

In the chest cavity.

The immaculate mind dao fruit continued to beat.

Obviously……

The Bright God's divine ability has not yet ended.

Bright God—is it the nature of the Bright Temple God?

The Six Desire Slay Evil Lü Xuan Sword Immortal Temple God—making clear its divinity, is that not the grand vow… 'Only after saving all beings can one become an immortal'?

In an instant.

Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly.

He then saw countless sword qi suddenly howling up within the Guiyi Miao, wind and waves raging, howls intertwining.

All the lit white candles in the Guiyi Miao were at this moment blown out by the rampaging sword qi!

Then Li Che discovered that the temple god's overwhelming divinity burst forth from the temple god's statue, condensing before him into the form of a sword immortal temple god radiating white light.

As if hearing the sword immortal's laugh, like greeting the vast sea with a sound.

Then, stepping forward, he actually set foot inside Li Che's inner vision of the mud pill.

Instantly he comprehended a divine ability method.

《Four Governors Six Desire Slay Evil Pure Yang Divine Tribulation Method》

Besides this, there is also a top-tier divine seed martial art.

《Six Desire Slay Evil Pure Yang Sword Manual》

And within the inner vision of the mud pill!

Lü Xuan Sword Immortal Temple God sat cross-legged, while the six wheels of six desire divine foundations drifted over, and were swept by the sword immortal temple god's sword qi; the falling fragments of the divine foundations turned into a surging divine feedback.

◆￠O

The six-wheel divine foundations actually transformed into six divine swords!

Moreover, they were filled to overflowing with the temple god's abundant divinity!

The six divine swords became six divine visages!

Moreover, under the fullness of the temple god's divinity, the rank of the six divine visage swords reached the peak of divine visage, the primordial visage level!

This actually saved Li Che considerable hard work, even saving several divinity crystals.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The six desire divine visage swords flashed forth, displaying sword light raging in all directions; finally they hovered behind the Lü Xuan Sword Immortal Temple God's divine visage, like blossoms in full bloom, sword tips outward, arranged like flowers.

The Law Heaven Earth Spirit Bright True Monkey Divine Visage is an independent emergence of the Seven Emotions Divine Visage.

Now, this Six Desire Slay Evil Lü Xuan Sword Immortal Divine Visage also appears to have emerged independently, giving rise to the Six Desire Divine Visage!

Countless sword lights clanged and roared, brilliant and blazing, peerlessly magnificent!

Now the Six Desire Divine Visage is completely opposite to Li Che's original conception of the Six Desire Corpse God Divine Visage……

What prevents Li Che from gathering his spirit is that the Bright God's divine ability has not yet ceased.

The intent of the divine ability still lingers.

The Sword Immortal Temple God's overwhelming divinity swept forth, besides sword intent, sword qi, and sword insight, within Li Che's inner vision of the mud pill, condensing into a blade of light formed entirely from the temple god's divinity.

Li Che's Star‑Plucking Pupil trembled, myriad analyses endless, and he instantly knew the information of this light sword.

【Sword Immortal Sword Intent Seed】!

Mind and spirit sank onto the light sword.

One could even feel a grand vow intent vibrating.

«Only after saving all beings does one become an immortal…»

The overwhelming grand vow intent seemed to turn into countless shackles, entwining the Sword Immortal Sword Intent Seed……

This left Li Che temporarily unable to drive or grasp it!

As if Li Che must fulfill and complete this grand vow will to break the shackles.

Li Che's eyes flickered.

«So, is this the true way to unlock the Bright God's divine ability? To simply and crudely comprehend what the temple god needs, thereby obtaining its divinity inheritance? »

«Huang Jianjiu merely obtained a thread of Sword Immortal sword intent, used that intent to break through, and stepped into the Sword Sage realm…»

«This seed containing all of Lü Xuan Sword Immortal Temple God's sword intent, if taken as a divine seed and empowered upon one of my Eight Odd Gates…… how terrifying would that be? »

«Unfortunately, this sword intent seed is sealed by the grand vow shackles, and to break that seal is obviously no easy task. »

«So‑called Bright God is more like receiving a commission from the temple god…? »

Li Che couldn't help but recall the scene he saw while in the Bright God state.

The whole city as a furnace, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, burning all beings……

Sin overflows the heavens!

Perhaps the grand aspiration of the Sword Immortal Temple Deity is related to the cause of this city's downfall?

Li Che's heart twitched slightly……

Or perhaps this is the scene revealed based on the greatest evil that has occurred around him?

"Therefore, if I want to master the full Sword Immortal sword intent seed, must I eradicate the evil of the mortal world?"

"Is it similar to a test for me?"

Li Che fell into contemplation.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz——

Just as Li Che sank into contemplation.

The entire Six Desires Exterminate Evil Lü Xuan Sword Immortal Guiyi Miao suddenly rumbled and shook.

Instantly, a ripple-like terrifying wave spread outward!

An extremely brilliant sword hum burst forth from the Guiyi Miao.

The sword light shone ever‑bright, shooting straight into the clouds!

It seemed to transform into a perfectly straight pillar of light, tearing open the intangible barrier and charging into the Strange Pagoda's sky!

Even the thick strange mist became blurry and hazy at this moment!

Boom——!!!

In the sky above the Strange Pagoda, the endless black thick clouds seemed to be pierced open a huge pit!

Wrinkle‑like ripple clouds spread out!

Inside the Strange Pagoda.

Two great swords being wielded, reaching ten meters in height, the bloated temple guardian demigod corpse that was battling Feng Zhiqi suddenly halted the sword in its hand.

Feng Zhiqi also halted, instantly bursting backward, scattering countless strange mists as if overturning mountains and seas.

Feng Zhiqi's burly form surged with torrential primordial vigor, wildly dancing across his flesh.

He gazed at the pillar‑like sword qi shooting out from the Guiyi Miao and charging into the clouds, his pupils constricting slightly, utterly shocked!

"This is……"

"Someone is resonating with the Sword Immortal Temple Deity……"
