Chapter 303: The Heavenly Origin Assembly Will Be the Next Qitian Temple, Igniting the Ultimate Three Flowers to Shatter the Martial

305. Chapter 300: The Heavenly Origin Assembly will be the next Qitian Temple, igniting the ultimate Three Flowers to shatter the Martial Saint 【Seeking monthly votes】

Snowflakes fluttered and swirled, tumbling down from the high sky.

Landing on the skin, the snow crystals seemed to slowly bloom like transparent flowers, as exquisite as fine works of art.

Lu Taibai lifted his hand and plucked a piece of snow.

"A dog, a three‑pointed double‑edged sword…"

"Grand Elder thinks this Underworld is related to the Mysterious Dao Manifested Sacred Three‑Eyed True Lord's Guiyi Miao?"

Lu Taibai said lightly.

Fang Hanshu's scholar robes fluttered, his fine beard swayed continuously in the wind, and he exuded an intensely strong aura of books.

"Just a speculation, after all… in this world, those who possess such a vicious dog and can wield such surging three‑pointed double‑edged sword qi are indeed not many."

Fang Hanshu shook his head and said with a light laugh.

"In this world, there are reincarnated temple gods, ancient gods beyond the realms, and all kinds of alien races… rumor has it that deep within the Strange Pass, the corpses of temple gods corresponding to the Guiyi Miao are buried…"

"The world is filled with countless bizarre events; although the Mysterious Dao Manifested Sacred Three‑Eyed True Lord's temple god has always been right under our noses, constantly guarded by our Heavenly Origin Divine Sect…"

"But… the canonical texts left by divine‑tribulation strongmen once recorded that the Strange Passes between the Guiyi Temples serve as conduits; the higher the Guiyi Miao's rank, the closer the opened Strange Pass lies to the depths of the Pass…"

Having read countless scriptures, Fang Hanshu opened his mouth and said.

Lu Taibai shook his head: "It might just be a coincidence…"

"The Mysterious Dao Manifested Sacred Three‑Eyed True Lord, the Eight‑Arm Prison Lotus, the Furious Three Princes—our Heavenly Origin Dao City's two Four Sovereigns Guiyi Miao, the Grand Overseer far in Shendu has already deduced…"

"Both of these Guiyi Miao have a chance to ascend to the Three Purities rank, just like the Three Purities Guiyi Miao in Thus line: Qitian Cheng that rose from Four Sovereigns to the Three Purities rank… causing Thus line: Qitian Cheng to rise."

Fang Hanshu said in a deep voice: "We must not underestimate the Mysterious Dao Manifested Sacred Three‑Eyed True Lord; perhaps…"

"If such a possibility truly exists… Dàjǐng would certainly not stand by idly."

"When Qitian Temple was at its zenith, its pressure made the court of the time gasp for breath; the power of one sect could overwhelm half the world… we Divine Sect cultivators sighed at this, and the court could only lose sleep and peace."

Lu Taibai sat on the steps before Taibai Hall, his silver hair cascading like a waterfall, as if a breeze passed through each strand.

He lifted his gaze toward the distant mountain that, even in the bitter winter, blossomed with countless plum flowers.

The wind and snow whined, and the scent of falling plum blossoms drifted.

"Four Sovereigns promotion… Three Purities?"

"Since the Guiyi Miao first appeared, it has occurred only once, giving rise to Qitian Temple…"

"Heavenly Origin, will it be the next Qitian Temple?"

"Blessings."

"Calamities…"

……

……

The Su family mansion, most of its area reduced to ruins.

Cracks in the ground spread from within the mansion like a snarling abyss.

Extremely conspicuous.

This night was destined to be sleepless.

The current head of the Su family, Su Daoling, was forcibly killed by the Underworld inside the mansion, without any means to resist, brutally crushed to death.

This made all factions in Heavenly Origin Dao City shiver.

The powerful observers from various factions stayed silent; even though only a Martial Saint remained in the Su family, that Martial Saint was of Qi Sea level, far from weak.

Moreover, each side needed to gauge the Underworld's stance.

The Underworld's King Yan, that terrifying being, after killing Su Daoling, employed the Underworld's Translocation Secret Technique during the siege of the Ultimate Peak and departed easily.

This made the forces of Heavenly Origin Dao City no longer dare to look down on the Underworld, truly treating it as a power comparable to the Divine Sect, Hunter God Pavilion, Corpse God Cult, Qintian Bureau, and other top factions.

Inside the Su family mansion.

Su Leibao clenched his Dragon‑Head Cane, his whole body becoming hunchbacked again, his spine bending as if all strength had vanished, utterly crushed.

Snowflakes fell mournfully from the night sky, drifting and wavering.

Beyond the Su family mansion, countless gazes, Divine Perception, Primordial Spirits, and the like made Su Leibao feel as if pricked by needles.

"Ding—ling—"

Suddenly.

The tinkling of a bell rang out, sounding like a soul‑snuffing tone.

Su Leibao furrowed his brows and turned his head toward the end of the ten‑li long street beyond the Su family mansion.

A similarly hunchbacked figure wearing a cat‑face mask, holding a ledger, swinging a bronze bell with one hand, slowly stepped forward.

"Underworld... cat‑face!"

Murderous intent swirled in Su Leibao's eyes.

He clenched his fist.

A pitifully weak trash!

Dares to show up at this moment?!

If it were ordinary times, Su Leibao… could kill and smash such trash with a single punch.

But now…

Facing this Underworld member, Su Leibao…

does not dare to strike.

He made up his mind.

If killing this Underworld cat‑face requires it, King Yan of the Underworld would wield a horse‑back spear…

The Su family probably has no hope left at all.

「The Su family… in Qianyuan Dao City, already has no hope. 」

Su Leibao closed his eyes.

He, a Qi Sea martial saint whose great limit is approaching and who is about to walk toward death, cannot save the Su family of the dao city now.

Thus, Su Leibao clearly knows that the Su family has only one road left…

That is…

Flee!

Flee Qianyuan Dao City, head for Shendu!

Bringing resources that support the Third Prince, rushing to Shendu, placing the family's hope of revival as a bet on the Third Prince; if the Third Prince rises, even seizing the Dàjǐng crown prince's position…

Together with Su Daoling's daughter, the Third Prince's beloved concubine, perhaps the Su family could revive, continue its three-thousand-year lineage, and even become a five-thousand-year aristocratic clan!

As long as it is not extinguished, there will still be hope in the end.

However, the foundation of Qianyuan Dao City will have to be painfully abandoned.

Su Leibao gazed at the end of the long street, which seemed like a mighty and imposing underworld cat face, suppressing his resentment as he endured this humiliation.

The humiliation of being stepped on the face by an ant and bouncing.

Ding ling ling—

The bell's sound echoed across the long street.

Under the divine sense awareness of the various experts.

Li Qingshan wearing a cat-face mask felt, at this moment, as if a cannonball had exploded in his chest, his spirit soaring, his confidence full.

Who says the underworld has no foundation?!

The true experts of the underworld have appeared, they will scare you to death!

「The King of Hell lets you die at the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch… 」

「Underworld cat face, here to attend the funeral. 」

「Heh heh heh… 」

……

……

Inside the Guiyi Miao of the Erxin Great Sage.

Li Che sat cross-legged on the ground.

In his chest, the Dao Fruit 【Dragon Elephant Golden Strong】 kept beating, like a heart grasped by a palm; with each grasp and release, a stream of light shot out at high speed, merging into his limbs and bones, healing his wounds!

The wounds on Li Che's body were actually caused by the explosion of five Qimen divine seeds; the shattering of five bodily seals equated to his qi and blood receiving five frenzied boosts!

Under such qi and blood eruption, his power became extremely terrifying, like a sky‑soaring rocket, obtaining five consecutive bursts of propulsion speed!

If it were an ordinary person, they could only chase the fleeting pleasure of that qi and blood burst; after gaining terrifying power, they would wither like a night‑blooming cereus.

But Li Che is different; Li Che has a Dao Fruit.

Even, Dragon Elephant Golden Strong at LV1 cannot sustain Li Che's such bursting out, such blossoming.

Only the LV5‑grade Dragon Elephant Golden Strong Dao Fruit is Li Che's greatest confidence.

「Huu—」

「Haa—」

Li Che sat cross‑legged on the ground of the Guiyi Miao; the cracks in the floor had already fully healed, white candles dotted the surroundings, the candlelight swayed gently, releasing a faint glow.

? Co

Everything appeared very tranquil.

Inside the Guiyi Miao, it is the most quiet, no one disturbs.

With each inhale and exhale, Li Che's blood vessels throbbed, as if crystal‑clear blood were being pushed, emitting a roar like a tide.

After one night, Li Che's condition had recovered considerably.

The wounds on his skin, tendons, bones, and muscles had completely healed.

Only the five viscera and six bowels, which are slightly more fragile than the flesh, tendons, and bones, still retain minute cracks.

「This wound‑healing speed…… is a bit faster than imagined. 」

「Indeed worthy of Unparalleled Horizontal Training, thick‑skinned and flesh‑thick. 」

Li Che smiled.

The Dragon Elephant Golden Strong Dao Fruit's strengthening of flesh and blood is truly terrifying.

Li Che felt that if the rank of the Dragon Elephant Golden Strong Dao Fruit continued to rise, perhaps it could achieve rebirth from a drop of blood!

Even if only a drop of blood remained, it would recover, near immortal and indestructible!

Dao Fruit……

It is Li Che's greatest foundation and confidence.

Tonight he dares to pull this off, also because the 【Chess Saint】 Dao Fruit has transformed to LV5, making the Flying Thunder translocation ability even stronger.

As long as he leaves a Flying Thunder chess‑piece anchor somewhere, he can certainly translocate there.

It is almost equivalent to a conceptual‑level power.

This power……

Even an existence at the peak level cannot retain him.

Speaking of the skill of escaping death.

The underworld is forever number one!

Buzz buzz buzz—

A powerful airflow burst from within his body, 540 strands of innate true gang surged out, swirling wildly in the air, dancing frenziedly, emitting booming thunderous sounds.

Li Che's body bulged and grew muscular, tuber‑like muscles stacked together, his skin turning semi‑transparent like a delicate artwork, revealing blood surging like liquid mercury, conveying power and roaring wildly.

His vigorous black hair swung wildly, his eyes opening and closing, golden smoke surging.

"It's time to make a breakthrough..."

"To me, a Three‑Flower Grandmaster at the pinnacle poses little difficulty."

Li Che felt his power continually growing.

His mind stirred slightly.

In his eyes, a flow of light appeared.

【Dao Fruit: Dragon-Elephant Vajra (LV5, 40%)】

Tonight, this wave brought a standoff and clash.

Facing Lü Taibai, enduring the pressure of the three supreme figures Yue Huanglong, Hong Shifo, he tempered his body, actually causing his Dao Fruit to mature by a large amount.

Of course, there was also the fact that he withstood Lü Taibai's sword qi at the end.

Although he relied on the mythic weapon, the three‑pointed double‑edged blade…

but the sword qi pressure and martial will from facing it directly…

That is experience!

After the Dao Fruit reached LV5, further improvement becomes extremely difficult.

This wave of improvement made Li Che feel that tonight's performance was completely worthwhile.

Just the 10% maturity increase of the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, the feedback of martial enlightenment power, would let Li Che reap abundant rewards.

Moreover, tonight's gains were enormous.

Su Daoling died, Ji Heshan was also killed by him, the only regret being that Su Leibao was not killed…

Su Leibao is after all no fool.

In the unfavorable situation, he was not blinded by hatred and charged straight in.

This prevented Li Che from killing him outright.

Facing the protection of Yue Huanglong and Feng Zhiqi…

At that time, Li Che wanting to kill Su Leibao was not easy.

After all…

The current Yama…

is not yet a truly mature entity.

So there's no need to insist on killing Su Leibao outright.

However, it's not a big problem; we can look for another opportunity later.

The Su family, such a powerful clan, is indeed a colossus; in Gan Yuan Dao City, its forces are deeply intertwined, its interests woven with those of all major powers, forming a vast interest network, making its strength tremendously fearsome.

But once the high-ranking members are all assassinated, under the decapitation plan…

Without leadership from the upper echelons, the Su family becomes a fat piece of meat in the eyes of all forces.

Originally, the Martial Saint and Divine Embryo were the Su family's foundation; but if the Martial Saint and Divine Embryo were all dead…

then the Su family would naturally weaken.

Some Three-Flower Grandmasters and Divine Origin True Persons could not guard the Su family's vast estate.

The Zhou, Yun, Zhong, Sang, Zhu families and other clans of Gan Yuan Dao City are no meek sheep; when faced with interests, they all turn into wolves and tigers.

In the end, Li Che need not lift a finger; the entire Su family will be torn apart by the forces' tug-of-war and fragment.

Without the suppression and deterrence of the strong, they may not be able to hold onto wealth and resources.

Just like the once‑prosperous Tang clan of mechanists.

It too fell because the strong perished, causing the whole clan to fragment.

Moreover, the Su family has acted tyrannically these years, so someone will always settle accounts with their decline.

As for Ji Heshan, the inner‑door elder of the Gan Yuan Divine Sect, although he is a sect elder…

Li Che killed him without the slightest hesitation.

Why not kill him?

Regarding Ji Heshan, Li Che had long harbored killing intent, and Ji Heshan had already been noted in his little notebook.

Killing him incurs no burden.

Even if he is an inner‑door elder of the Divine Sect, what of it?

As long as he threatens Xixi, Li Che will show no mercy when he kills!

From Ji Heshan aiding the Su family, allowing Su Chuyang and Su Li… when they sought to approach Xixi, Li Che had already sentenced him to death in his heart.

Although Li Che is also an elder of the Gan Yuan Divine Sect, his relationship with Ji Heshan is not good enough for him to forgive his death.

Sitting cross‑legged inside the Guiyi Miao, his bodily injuries had mostly healed.

Li Che's mind also returned to calm.

Over the next few days, he may need to immerse himself; once his bodily injuries are fully healed, Li Che intends to use the feedback from this LV5 Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit's 10% maturity…

…to attempt a breakthrough to Martial Saint!

Li Che originally planned to cultivate the Eight‑Gate Divine Seed martial arts, then complete the transfer of eight divine seeds into the Qimen to achieve the Eight Qimen postures, and then assault the Martial Saint…

But Li Che somewhat underestimated the difficulty of the Eight Qimen.

Even with the aid of the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, Li Che wanting to gather the Eight Gates is still quite difficult.

Because even if the Divine Seed martial arts are mastered to the grandmaster level, moving the remaining six, seven, and eight seeds into them would be unimaginably difficult.

"Five‑Gate Divine Seeds… this should already be the limit of the Grandmaster realm."

Li Che let out a soft sigh.

His mortal body has reached its limit; his current flesh can ignite the three blossoms of essence, qi, and spirit with a single thought, which is not very difficult, and the enhancement to the body is also quite limited.

"My innate Zhen Gang reservoir is now abundant enough, already sufficient for the accumulation of the three‑flower Gang Qi."

Li Che shook his head. The Three‑Flower realm is only to make a Grandmaster's martial‑will more compact, so that when confronting the Saint's heavenly‑sentient resonance, one can advance further.

The improvement and amplification of the flesh are actually a bit lower than imagined.

"The Saint… is truly the difficulty."

"And my attempt to strike the Saint… is the real great hurdle and obstacle!"

"The first strike is crucial; with one burst of energy, harnessing the impact of martial‑will, the chance of success is greatest!"

Inside Guiyi Miao, a raging wind roared and air currents surged.

Li Che's eyes glowed faintly, exceedingly solemn.

Because his flesh is so strong, his bodily Great Core far surpasses that of ordinary Grandmasters!

A solid foundation makes the bodily Great Core tough, like an eggshell becoming very hard, making the chick inside hard to break through the shell!

But once broken…

the chick will possess strength and vigor far beyond ordinary chicks!

Within his chest, the Dao Fruit "Long Xiang Jin Gang" throbbed wildly, emitting a booming, thunder‑like roar.

"Aim to break through to the Saint before heading to Shendu to attend the 'Pan Tao Victory Gathering'!"

Li Che's eyes opened and closed, setting a small goal.

With his two fingers together, Li Che tore open the Qian Kun Space, and instantly the Qian Kun Jade of Ji He Shan and Su Daoling fell into his hand.

Even if he transforms into the King of Hell, the habit of inspecting corpses before slaying foes remains necessary.

He grasped two Qian Kun Jades.

Li Che snapped his finger, and instantly two fragments of broken flesh fell inside Guiyi Miao.

A strong scent of blood immediately spread.

His eyes, cold and indifferent, scanned the two pieces of flesh.

Li Che spread his five fingers like a ladle, aiming far away.

"Soul, return."

"Bound Spirit, behold me!"

The words finished.

Inside Guiyi Miao, a fierce wind instantly rose, whistling nonstop.

Two clusters of black shadows twisted and emerged simultaneously…

A massive and powerful Heaven‑and‑Earth Soul made the air inside Guiyi Miao seem to solidify!

Gradually, Su Daoling's Bound Spirit materialized, its body outlined with a thick black rim.

Su Daoling's Bound Spirit's eyes opened slightly, revealing a bewildered look.

Behind it.

Ji He Shan's Bound Spirit also appeared bewildered, trembling continuously under Su Daoling's Heaven‑and‑Earth Soul.

Buzz—

It was almost the instant the two Bound Spirits manifested.

Around Li Che, black Bound Spirit chess pieces floated up, then turned into streams of loyal Bound Spirits.

Huang Jianjiu, You Liqing, Long Nu, Xue Dufu, Long Tai, Qing Niao…

Their eyes all seemed to emit a faint hue, staring at the two Bound Spirits.

The group divided the Bound Spirits of the original Two‑Flower Half‑God corpse, and their cultivation all received a notable boost, bringing them closer to the Second Opening realm.

This method of strengthening by devouring Bound Spirits caused Huang Jianjiu, You Liqing and others to become somewhat decadent and fanatical!

Su Daoling's Bound Spirit's surface quivered, and in an instant its gaze fell on Li Che.

Its pupils trembled, then snapped shut…

Ji He Shan opened his mouth and let out a terrified scream!

"Ah— Ah—"

Li Che!

Li Che!!!

The Underworld King… is actually Li Che?!

Ji He Shan's conviction seemed to collapse at that moment.

This Li Che, from Golden Light City, a mud‑legged origin?!

Ji He Shan shivered all over, his gaze swept over Huang Jianjiu, then quivered again, then over You Liqing, Long Nu, Long Tai, Qing Niao…

Those familiar faces.

Made Ji He Shan collapse outright onto the ground.

Long Tai bared his huge white teeth and gave a faint smile: "Elder Ji… you haven't tried hard enough."

"If you don't work hard in cultivation, you become brothers on the Bound Spirit board."

Ji He Shan's mindset was a bit shattered.

"I submit! I submit!"

"Elder Li, I submit!"

Ji He Shan shouted loudly.

However…

Li Che glanced indifferently at Ji Heshan.

"You called me...... Elder Li?"

"I've rewarded you."

Just as the words fell.

Long Tai, Qing Niao, and Xue Dufu, three who have now reached the Bound God level of the Upper Three Flowers Grand Master realm, almost appeared via instant movement behind Ji Heshan's Bound God.

"Elder Ji, you're clueless, dare you address the lord like that?"

"I gave you a chance, but it's useless…… Brother, there's nothing left to do."

"Then let me, Long Tai, properly raise you……"

"I'll raise you in my stomach."

The words fell.

Ji Heshan's terrified scream then completely erupted.

Creak—creak……

The hair-raising sound made even Su Daoling, even if he had become a Bound God, feel as if every hair stood on end.

"Su Daoling, greetings to the lord."

Su Daoling submitted without any burden.

He wanted to live, even if…… in the form of a monster.

Li Che glanced at Su Daoling, a Half-Saint of Divine Talismans.

Compared to Ji Heshan, this insignificant worm, he is far more important.

Ji Heshan, being neither here nor there, wanting to become Li Che's Bound God, Li Che even feels somewhat disdainful.

But Su Daoling, being a Half-Saint of Divine Talismans, is very suitable.

Li Che could even avoid bothering the sect leader's wife, simply imprison Su Daoling to make talismans.

Specifically to draw the Five Thunder Talisman!

Huang Jiujiu, You Liqing, and Longnu, the three great Bound Gods, looking at Su Daoling's Bound God, instantly felt a bit regretful.

However, they also know that Su Daoling's Bound God, being a Half-Saint of Divine Talismans, has an enormous effect.

Can't eat him……

Then we can only be brothers on the chessboard.

Su Daoling's hairs stood on end; after choosing to submit, he suddenly felt the heavens and earth were vast.

He was safe.

Li Che glanced at Su Daoling: "Can you draw thunder talismans?"

"My lord, I can!"

"The Minor Divine Thunder Five Thunder Shock-Kill Talisman…… can you?"

"That is a divine talisman of the Xuanfu Divine Sect, I cannot." Su Daoling trembled with fear, said.

"But I can learn it!" Su Daoling's attitude was proper.

Li Che, upon hearing that, didn't mind too much.

After all, it's not Su Daoling's fault.

Li Che took out the talisman book he had replicated in the Talisman Tower through the Painting Immortal Dao Fruit, and threw it directly to Su Daoling.

Let him study and learn, striving to draw the thunder talisman as soon as possible.

Such technical talent……

Using him for fighting and killing would be a bit wasteful.

For fighting and killing, Huang Jiujiu, You Liqing, and Longnu are enough.

Li Che broke open the Universe Jade with his mind and spirit, began to take inventory; this inventory actually made Li Che slightly surprised.

"How…… there are so many good things?"

"This is what I plan to take to support the Third Prince of Shendu in his bid for the throne."

"This is the last batch; actually it's considered little."

Su Daoling said respectfully.

Li Che took a deep breath.

Not looking at anything else, just the five divine crystals of the Five Elders' Upper Rank—there are actually five—made Li Che feel satisfied.

As for martial elixirs, two bottles of the Five Elders' Upper Rank martial elixir produced by the Tiandan Divine Sect made Li Che's eyes light up.

He was worried about lacking resources to break through to Martial Saint, and here they are?

Even if Li Che possesses the Dragon-Elephant Golden Body Dao Fruit, martial elixirs of this kind would never feel excessive.

Suddenly.

Li Che's brows furrowed slightly.

He clenched his five fingers.

A sheet of gold foil, thin as a cicada's wing yet filled with Buddhist light, fell into Li Che's hand.

"My lord, this is a secret technique accidentally obtained by the Su clan's ancestor from foreign Buddhist lands."

Li Che's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust.

"The Joyful Zen Buddhist Maiden Spirit Absorption Technique……"

"Truly disgusting."

Clenching his five fingers, the gold foil of this secret technique was directly crushed by Li Che.

"Ah——!!!"

A sharp cry.

Suddenly, a burst of gold light erupted from the gold foil paper.

It turned into an infant glowing with Buddha light, leaping up; the infant's face was savage, blue‑fanged, and it opened its mouth to emit a low growl.

Though it radiated Buddha light, it was filled with a sinister, terrifying feeling.

"This is, a Buddha infant!"

Su Daoling said respectfully.

Li Che snorted in disgust.

Clenching his fist, he united dragon and elephant forms—dragon's roar, elephant's cry!

In an instant he blasted the blue‑sprout‑fanged Buddha infant to pieces amid its shrill screams.

The Buddha infant was worn away and dissipated by Li Che's terrifying qi and blood power.

……

……

Over the next few days, Qianyuan Dao City was immersed in the fear dominated by the Netherworld King Yama.

Naturally, the Netherworld funeral attendant Cat Face also sparked a wave of discussion.

This bastard is truly bold and arrogant, daring to bury Su Daoling right in front of the Su family elder patriarch, Su Leibao...

Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?

However, the Netherworld's mysterious and profound translocation art indeed gives people a headache.

To all factions, the Netherworld… is an existence extremely hard to kill.

The threat level surged straight up!

Even though many clearly know who the Netherworld Cat Face is, without confidence to deal with the Netherworld King Yama, they dare not act against Cat Face.

A hidden supreme expert in the darkness…

Who isn't afraid?!

As strong as the first clan of Qianyuan Dao City, which has endured three thousand years with each generation guarded by a Martial Saint divine fetus, its fate is…

Yet Su Leibao endured the humiliation and began selling off the Su family's assets in Qianyuan Dao City over the following days.

In this, the major clans had long anticipated it.

They also guessed that the Su clan… would likely abandon Qianyuan Dao City.

The news of the Su clan's layout in Shendu was never a secret.

The Su clan had two daughters: one became a consort of the Dàjǐng Emperor, the other a beloved concubine of the Third Prince; these two women upheld the Su clan's foundation in Shendu.

Su Leibao was decisive, knowing that the Su clan in Qianyuan Dao City would only be slowly corroded to ruin, so he chose to abandon Qianyuan Dao City, this three‑thousand‑year inheritance, leaving only the ancestral land for some idle Su clan members to watch over.

Other important members of the Su clan all migrated to Shendu.

Quite decisive; facing the Netherworld's threat, this might be the Su clan's sole chance to catch a breath.

However, Su Leibao also understood…

Whether he can leave the Qianyuan Dao City region alive with the Su clan's liquidated assets is the key!

"Why is the Su clan being targeted by the Netherworld?"

Su Leibao had once pondered this question in the dead of night.

He hunched up and looked toward the Qianyuan Divine Sect's towering mountain range deep in the Dao City, seeing that Taibai Peak.

The Su clan's only connection with the Netherworld…

Seems… only Li Nuanxi, perhaps?

Initially the Su clan wanted to treat little Li Nuanxi like their usual harmful women, siphoning her talent to make her a puppet for cultivating talented descendants.

Even when Li Nuanxi became the sect master's personal heir and her father Li Che even became a Divine Eagle Half‑Sage, the Su clan still did not let go of this idea.

Perhaps…

This may be what provoked the Netherworld's wrath?

This Li Nuanxi…

Is she the Netherworld's daughter?!

Su Leibao sighed.

Now saying anything is too late; who would have thought the Su clan, after three thousand years of inheritance and having seen the rise and fall of the Qiankun Great River, would ultimately founder on a little girl?

"That Dual Heart Great Sage Guiyi Miao… the Su clan also lacks the ability to contend for it."

Su Leibao's eyes flickered.

Originally, if Su Daoling were alive, following Lü Taibai's rules, he could still enter the Mysterious Gate to vie for the Follow‑Heart Golden Iron Divine Staff.

But now Su Daoling is dead, leaving the Su clan with only him, a Qi Sea Martial Saint who does not meet Lü Taibai's standards.

Naturally, there is no chance to contend.

"But…"

Su Leibao's breath rose and fell slightly.

"When the mist of the Dual Heart Great Sage Guiyi Miao settles into calm and the Guiyi Miao's Mysterious Gate opens… everyone's focus will be on this Guiyi Miao, making it the best time for my Su clan to relocate."

"Dao Master Yue Huanglong will cover my retreat; the Netherworld King Yama may not necessarily be able to kill me…"

"Furthermore, I sent word to the Dao Master of Guangling Dao; this Dao Master of Guangling Dao City, a supporter of the Third Prince, will meet me at the junction of the two Dao."

They said it was the Su clan's relocation.

In fact, it was actually Su Leibao's escape.

All the liquidated resources are on Su Leibao's person; these resources…

Are enough to make people envy.

Those part-time assassins of the Hunter God Pavilion who hide their identities……

They will certainly be eager to move.

……

……

Three days, then another three days—in a flash six days had passed.

Li Che spent these six days staying within the Two Heart Great Saint Guiyi Miao, nursing his injuries, cultivating his essence, qi, and spirit, and accumulating a mighty vigor!

Preparing to assault the pinnacle realm of the Three Flowers.

Li Che did not intend to use the 【Dragon Elephant Vajra】 Dao fruit, nor the accumulated 10% epiphany feedback.

These days Li Che spent staying in the Guiyi Miao.

Li Che's 【Painting Immortal】 avatar, meanwhile, was active outside, exposed to the eyes of the world.

Even Lu Taibai could not discern the true or false nature of the Painting Immortal avatar.

Inside the Two Heart Great Saint Guiyi Miao.

The candle flames flickered faintly.

Li Che sat cross-legged on the ground, his body's airflow surging wildly, the misty blood vapor transformed from his qi and blood intertwining between heaven and earth.

After sitting in meditation for six days, Li Che organized his martial arts.

Five divine seeds floated out from the five extraordinary meridian nodes within his spine.

Gush—gush……

Qi and blood surged like endless waves, constantly condensing together, as if forming a vivid divine serpent, coiling and crouching, with dragon horns, whiskers, and scales all lifelike, vividly alive!

Besides this qi-and-blood divine dragon, behind Li Che a huge elephant loomed up, so large it filled the Guiyi Miao, the divine dragon coiling around its massive, mountain-like body.

Its fan-like ears flapped violently, raising a gale that howled, the lifted trunk like a divine whip lashing the void!

It burst forth with the sound of thunder!

Suddenly, Li Che slowly opened his eyes.

He rose to his feet, clenched his fingers tightly, and thrust out a horizontal punch!

He suddenly spread his arms, his black hair whipping wildly!

Li Che lifted his head, his visage aimed high at the beams of the Guiyi Miao.

His eyes blazed bright, as if flames were dancing within.

Then, like a spark, it ignited the entire qi-and-blood dragon!

The qi-and-blood dragon-elephant ignited a heaven‑blazing fire!

And that heaven‑blazing fire slowly compressed, compressed, finally turning into a lotus‑like flame.

Hovering above Li Che's celestial crown!

The firelight twisted the void, sending ripples of waves!

"Flower of Qi and Blood!"

Li Che's eyes glittered brilliantly.

A mighty martial will instantly unfurled, surging to cover every corner of the Guiyi Miao!

The candle flames on countless white candles leapt without cease!

Martial will, dragon‑elephant united form!

Within his chest, the 【Dragon Elephant Vajra】 Dao fruit throbbed without cease!

The compressed martial will seemed to turn the air itself into a twisting black hole, the ultimate light and heat compressed to the extreme, forming a lotus that hovered above Li Che's left shoulder!

As for the topmost Three Flowers, the third flower……

Li Che rose to his feet, his whole body seeming to become crystalline and translucent, the dantian of his furnace‑like physique blazing like a raging fire!

Refining a precious elixir!

That was Li Che's Grand Master Physical Grand Elixir!

Boom!

The physical grand elixir leapt up, and after repeated leaps, a frenzied surge of grand elixir essence burst forth!

In the furnace's firelight, it ignited instantly!

In the end, it too turned into a lotus‑flame!

Li Che faintly sensed the three floating flames……

Essence, qi and blood, martial will……

Five hundred forty strands of Innate True Gang surged wildly, within the rolling flames of the Three Flowers, transforming into Three Flowers Gang Qi!

It seemed like a tide‑like gang qi surging without cease!

Just a single instant.

The Three Flowers blossomed in unison!

Within the tide‑like Three Flowers Gang Qi.

Li Che slowly rose to his feet, head and shoulders, the ultimate Three Flowers of the human body blazing dazzlingly bright!

……

……

Boom—rumble——

Six‑Eared Prison Lotus Divine Monkey Two Heart Great Saint Guiyi Miao.

Beyond the Strange Gate.

The originally surging and rising strange mist began to slowly descend and subside.

The wind and snow were torn apart.

Two figures drifted in and landed outside the Strange Gate.

Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia, two experts from Divine Eagle Ridge, stood outside.

They stared at the strange mist that had completely subsided.

He slowly exhaled a breath.

However…

The next moment.

Their gazes involuntarily tightened.

But they saw…

Inside the Guiyi Miao, the Two Hearts Great Sage.

There were three extremely gorgeous flame lotuses, as if breaking free from the bonds of heaven and earth.

They leapt up!

Astonishing the heavens and earth!
