===TITLE===

The horrifying aftermath lingered within the Mysterious Void; even the surging waves of Mysterious Mist rolling in from the boundless depths of the Mysterious Void could not approach in the slightest. Also "Deceptive Mist" is "Mysterious Mist". That's a named phenomenon? Might be considered a named beast/item? It's a mist, but maybe not a named entity. Probably not needed. It was as if the shockwave of the scorching heat had completely isolated it. Li Che stood amidst the ruined divine hall, the Golden Heavenly King's statue melting into water, while the true temple god was actually the Seven Treasures Relic Ruyi Heavenly King Pagoda; this heavenly king pagoda had now been utterly destroyed, shattered beyond repair. Also "temple" generic. It was a situation where, under the Big Black Dog's paw, it was forcibly blown to pieces. Thus we will translate. The Heavenly King Pagoda could draw upon the Golden Heavenly King's power to reach peak Martial Saint strength, and the remaining temple-guarding corpse-level divine generals also possessed Martial Saint-level strength. Li Che originally intended to use multiple God-Binding entities to block the Temple Guarding Corpses and Temple Guarding Corpse Kings, then cooperate with the Big Black Dog to swiftly destroy the Heavenly King Pagoda. However... The Big Black Dog is really fast! It can only be said that it is an overwhelming strength-based crushing, utterly destroying everything. However, Li Che looked at the Big Black Dog, whose aura had completely retracted after it unleashed a palm strike, and a hint of doubt flickered in his eyes. The Big Black Dog became extremely low-key, like an ordinary puppy, showing no trace of its previous paw strike, and lacking the awe-inspiring presence of the terrifying magic hound that seemed to loom over the stars. Rather, it seemed as if it were deliberately concealing its aura. Li Che was not stupid either; he immediately sensed the Big Black Dog's abnormality. "Puppy, your strike... might very well draw the attention of some beings." Li Che stared and asked. The puppy's dark, jujube-black gaze looked toward Li Che. When it comes time for it to act, just call it Dog Grandpa. Now that it has finished acting, you call it Puppy?! Really infuriating! How could Xixi have a father like you?! The puppy was indignant, yet faced with Li Che's inquiring gaze, it merely nodded reluctantly. This left Li Che feeling somewhat regretful. The puppy is undoubtedly strong; it is very likely that what exists now is not its true form, and the terrifying giant magic hound seen looming over a star in the puppy's dream may be its true body. And the boss... should be even stronger! At least, up to now, Li Che cannot determine the boss's strength, after all, only the puppy has taken action. As the puppy's boss, Li Che has a feeling that the boss... is definitely very powerful! However, it is apparently also like the dog, unable to act due to certain reasons or apprehensions. The dog can act, apparently because it is somewhat weaker than the boss. The puppy's hostile gaze fixed on Li Che, as if it sensed Li Che saying it was an imaginary dog! Li Che rubbed the puppy's head in his arms, and his gaze softened considerably. "Thank you." Li Che felt that the puppy and the boss should not act too often, perhaps... related to Xixi. Of course, this is merely his speculation, but even a speculation is enough. The puppy smirked, curled up in Li Che's arms, lifted its paw, and let out a proud little whine. Li Che smiled and completely stuffed the puppy's head into his robe. Afterward, his gaze turned to the shattered Golden God Hall. His five fingers spread open. "Summon God!!!" Li Che's gaze instantly deepened, as if black-and-white threads continually surged forth, like a heart beating between heaven and earth. "Immaculate Heart Summon God!" Boom!!! The shattered fragments of the Temple God Heavenly King Pagoda began to jump incessantly, like boiling water, each piece tumbling and leaping. The surrounding space seemed to twist. The immense divinity of the Temple God rose like mist from the ground. Twisting the air! It then formed the shape of a pagoda, towering up, becoming immensely massive and towering! In the next moment, Li Che's Niwan Palace seemed to erupt with a terrifying vortex-like suction, forcefully twisting and warping the pagoda-like Temple God into a vortex and dragging it into his Niwan Palace. However, this Temple God is far stronger than the Temple God of the Heavenly King Pagoda in Golden Light Prefecture. Within the Niwan Palace. The Heaven and Earth Chessboard lay suspended, its lines interwoven horizontally and vertically, the Immaculate Heart divine chess pieces intertwining and stacking, transforming into clanking chains that suppressed and bound the Summon God upon the board! Suppress and seal! Of course, suppressing and sealing a Temple God is not something Li Che has done for the first time. Previously, Li Che, in order to condense the Seven Emotions Divine Aspects, had likewise employed Summon God. Summoning the Temple God from the Mysterious Void, dragging it to the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, then gradually suppressing it, pulling it into the Divine Foundation to complete refinement…… But now, it's merely a different procedure. Seal the Summon God within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, allowing the Spiritually Enlightened True Monkey of Heaven-Earth Embodiment and the other Golden Core Divine Aspects to refine and devour this Temple God's power! Rumble!!! This pagoda of the Five Elders' rank is situated in the Heaven and Earth chessboard. Instantly, the lines of the heaven-and-earth chessboard seemed to collapse completely, as if they were out of place with the board; after sinking down, they all wound around like a pagoda. ⊙￠〇 Summoning a deity calls forth a temple god; the heaven-and-earth chessboard suppresses and seals the temple god, while the immaculate-heart divine-nature chess piece refines the temple god…… Li Che could feel that, under his actions, the maturity of the 【Chess Saint】 Dao Fruit and the 【Immaculate Heart】 Dao Fruit, following the refinement of the temple god, was slowly rising. Strands of the temple god's divinity, as if under the control of the Summon Deity divine ability, were being sucked in by invisible tendrils, continuously flowing into Li Che's upper dantian inner realm. Being devoured one by one by Divine Origin Golden Cores. Not only the Heaven-Earth Embodiment Spirit-Enlightened True Monkey Golden Core, but also the Lü Xuan Sword Immortal Golden Core and the Seven Emotions Six Desires Golden Core were similarly absorbing this temple god's divinity. However, the natural priority is still the Heaven-Earth Embodiment Spirit-Enlightened True Monkey Golden Core! Not only because the True Monkey Golden Core has reached the fetal breath transformation, but also because it is a divine image carved upon the foundation of the Immaculate Heart divine basis. It can be said that it is the foundation of Li Che's divine cultivation. The Lü Xuan Sword Immortal Golden Core and the Seven Emotions Six Desires Golden Core are merely embellishments. The main golden core is still the Heaven-Earth Embodiment Golden Core! Boom boom boom— Within the upper dantian inner realm, it seemed as if a divine tempest had been stirred up; Li Che only felt his soul vibrating, and with each breath, a unique frequency and flavor arose. Vaguely, it seemed as if he could feel the breath of heaven and earth. Boom—!!! Suddenly. Li Che abruptly severed this feeling, and a Flying Thunder chess piece instantly appeared in his hand. Between heaven and earth, rolling ghostly mist surged upward, breaking through the invisible qi left after Gouye's strike, like a single river torrent breaking a dam, fiercely slamming and crashing down! Everything was shattering, everything was exploding! Li Che suddenly drew a deep breath. Here it comes! Each time the Summon Deity divine ability is used to summon away a temple god, it triggers a tremor in the Ghostly Rift. It seemed as if a terrifying existence deep within the Ghostly Rift had been provoked by Li Che's actions. A feeling of suffocation, like huge waves, surged from all directions! In that instant, Li Che even had the illusion that his soul was frozen and being controlled. Great terror! The great terror deep within the Ghostly Rift! This feeling was different from the previous sensations of summoning away other temple gods; it was stronger and more horrifying. Li Che lifted his head and saw that the sky of the Ghostly Rift seemed to have been torn open. A force that froze space and time poured down from outside the crack, as if… a tomb had burst open, and the mighty, surging airflow from outside rushed in. Then, Li Che saw a huge azure hand, completely dark cyan, its surface covered with extremely intricate patterns; compared to before when only a single enormously thick azure finger that covered the sky was seen, this time the palm…… It seemed even more terrifying! It was as if originally a single finger had been extended, but this time, enraged, the whole palm came crashing down. Even the void seemed to shatter inch by inch! Boundless gales howled, the ultimate air waves surged! Li Che only felt his breath seemed to congeal! The puppy in Li Che's arms abruptly raised its head and widened its eyes. What happened? Why… did this existence suddenly appear?! The puppy didn't know what Li Che had done. It knew Li Che spread his five fingers open, pointing at the temple god's fragments, but… what of it? What else could Li Che do to the temple god? Gouye truly hadn't noticed the fluctuation of the Summon God… He only thought this incredibly terrifying azure palm was slapping toward Gouye! Hum— However, Gouye only felt his vision blur for an instant, and the terrifying oppression brought by the azure palm completely vanished. A gentle breeze lightly brushed past. The rumbling and explosions in the Guiyi Miao, the terrifying pressure and the oppression of frozen spacetime, all disappeared. Only the sound of heavy panting remained! 「Hoo hoo hoo—」 Li Che plopped down onto the snow-covered ground, panting heavily. Gouye poked his head out of Li Che's arms, looking toward the nearby restaurant emitting orange-yellow light; the restaurant sat quietly there, as if lodged within the ages. No matter how time flowed or how the seas turned to fields, it could not be affected in the slightest. In Li Che's chest, the 【Immaculate Heart】 Dao Fruit throbbed, bursting forth with Dao Fruit power, helping Li Che completely clear away the great terror he had just experienced. That terrifying, sky-covering azure palm's might was too horrible; Li Che almost felt he would suffocate, as if his soul were shrouded in shadow. Li Che knew that was a soul-level contamination brought by the azure palm. The opponent seemed like a supreme deity who mastered fear; fortunately, Li Che's Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit, pure and flawless, washed away this contamination. Li Che sat in the snow, calming down for a while. This action, I must say, was indeed somewhat risky. However, Li Che had also made full preparations. He knew that the temple god of the Invoking Gods Five Elders' rank would definitely be different from before, and he hadn't expected it to be this different. Not just breaking open the ghostly gate, a green finger that could crush an ant falling down, but an enormous green palm that wanted to slap him to death! Fortunately, Li Che sensed something amiss, and Flying Thunder arrived beside the restaurant. Li Che hastily grasped the Flying Thunder chess piece and teleported back to the independent workshop courtyard, possibly... maybe unable to withstand the contamination of that green palm. So, Li Che chose to use Flying Thunder to go to the restaurant. The boss sat under the eaves, not smoking a rolled cigarette, but instead had a charcoal stove beside him, brewing clear tea, drinking and savoring tea. Seeing Li Che and Dog Grandpa, they instantly appeared out of thin air. He also showed no surprise or concern. It seemed that in this world, the only thing that could catch his attention... ... was what Xixi would eat today, such a big matter. "Don't go provoking unclean things." The boss took a sip of clear tea, smiling as he spoke. Li Che stood up, brushed off the snow on his clothes, smiled, went to the boss's side, asked for a cup of hot tea, and drank it. The boss was not stingy either, pouring Li Che a cup of clear tea. It was just simple clear tea, a few unfolded tea leaves floating at the bottom of the cup, the tea water a jade green, faint ripples forming. Smelling the tea fragrance, Li Che took a sip, feeling only a ball of heat flow down his throat, his whole body as if cleansed of impurities, even the fatigue of his soul disappearing. "Good tea!" Li Che's eyes lit up, the first time he praised a cup of tea. He doesn't really understand tea drinking, just treating it as a means to quench thirst. But this time, Li Che truly sensed the meaning of a good cup of tea. However, Li Che didn't continue drinking; after the cup went down, it dispelled the cold and the gloom on his soul, and Li Che's mood greatly improved. The big black dog crawled out of Li Che's collar, lay on the ground, and began to snore loudly. Unknown whether it was catching up on sleep or replenishing the energy expended in this move. Li Che looked at the boss, voicing the doubt in his heart. "If there's something, you'd better handle it yourself; I and Dog Grandpa can't intervene too much... the more we intervene, the more traces will be found, and then..." "... we might not be able to continue cooking dishes for Xixi." The boss, dressed in white that outshone snow, with a cold, expressionless face, idly played with the tea cup, speaking lightly. Li Che's body trembled slightly, his heart sank. "You'd better strive to become strong on your own; relying on yourself is the most effective. If you want to protect Xixi, you also need your own strength." "Forge iron still requires one's own hardness; in any matter, any person... only one's own strength is ultimately the greatest confidence." The boss said lightly. Upon hearing this, Li Che suddenly understood. He bowed with clasped fists, thanked the boss. Li Che then left the restaurant, turned and plunged into the pitch-black alley of Listening Thunder Lane. The boss took a sip of tea. Gazing at Li Che's figure disappearing into the dark alley. In his eyes, a solemn color gradually surfaced, along with a murmur. "Xixi, how..." "... have you lost?" "..." "..." Boom—! Mount Tai Bai. The snow on the great plateau suddenly trembled, and in the next instant, countless snow exploded! Not only Mount Tai Bai, but almost all the peaks within the Divine Sect felt an immensely powerful shockwave; after it passed, all vegetation and snow covering the buildings shattered into powder, scattering across the ground. Whoosh—! The sound of breaking through the air rang out, as figures one after another madly shot up from peak to peak, hovering in the icy snowy world. Lü Tai Bai in the Tai Bai Hall was guiding Xixi's cultivation. He too felt his heart shake, his pupils contracting. His whole body turned into sword light, already appearing in the void, hands behind his back, silver hair flying. Fang Hanshu, Zhao Fangzhou, and Ding Zi, three inner-door elders at the Martial Saint Divine Embryo level, rushed to his side. "Sect Master!" Zhao Fangzhou's face was unprecedentedly solemn. As the Second Elder, his main duty was actually to monitor the Guiyi Miao within the Divine Sect's mountain gate, constantly paying attention to its condition. This time, the Golden Heavenly King Tower, upon the first appearance of abnormality, he sensed it. However, the impact of this abnormality was too great; before Zhao Fangzhou could report... Lü Tai Bai and the others had already appeared. The crowd looked toward a golden pagoda rising from the peak's plateau, which began to crack, then exploded with a boom, splitting into fragments, as if countless splendid Buddhist lights shot up into the sky. It seemed as if they heard the anguished wails of seven Buddhas, the sound of shattering relics. Boom— Like a thunderclap from the Cloud Empress, everyone lifted their eyes and could see the mountain peak where the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda stood shaking left and right, as if countless snow and ice were sliding down at high speed and exploding. The originally restricted Divine Palace emerged, continuously enlarging. Finally, in everyone's eyes, it was no longer a Divine Palace but a Sinister Palace. The Sinister Palace's apparition emerged. Finally... As if slowly merging and retreating into another space-time. Finally... The Sinister Palace completely vanished. Along with it, the Guiyi Miao of the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda, which had been suppressed by the Qianyuan Divine Sect for over a thousand years, also disappeared. "It's gone…" Fang Hanshu stroked his beautiful beard, speaking in a deep voice. "This situation… is very similar to the many Guiyi Miaos of the Su family that vanished out of thin air back then!" "This matter… is a bit complicated." Second Elder Zhao Fangzhou's qi and blood roared, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but speak. "Back then, the Su family said that the disappearance of these Guiyi Miaos… was related to the mysterious netherworld, but now it seems not!" "This Guiyi Miao of the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda was suppressed due to a riot by the Forefather's Dao resonance… Could it be that the disappearance of the Guiyi Miao was done by the Forefather?" Zhao Fangzhou couldn't help but click his tongue: "Truly worthy of the Forefather… really awesome!" "Is it because one knows this heavenly king pagoda is related to the Buddhist sect, not knowing whether it is the Buddhist sect's layout and calculation, so they wiped out and sent away this Guiyi Miao?" After all, in recent times, the only one who has come into contact with the deity of the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda's temple… seems to be the Forefather's power within the activated Heaven and Earth Dao resonance plaque! Zhao Fangzhou directly shoved a big pot onto the Forefather's name. Of course, Zhao Fangzhou wasn't simply making the Forefather take the pot; he truly felt that way. Lu Taibai and Fang Hanshu exchanged a glance, yet they held different views. But they also couldn't say anything. "The matter has become a big deal…" Lu Taibai and Fang Hanshu closed their eyes simultaneously. Feeling the sudden decline of the temple god's divinity of the Qianyuan Divine Sect by a large margin, both could not help but reveal a hint of solemnity in their eyes. "The total divinity of the Qianyuan Divine Sect's mountain gate is receding, like a tide pool having its stone removed, the water begins to fall…" Fang Hanshu said. "The disappearance of a Fifth Elder upper-rank Guiyi Miao has directly weakened our Qianyuan Divine Sect's mountain gate divinity by roughly twenty percent!" This matter is truly not small! Even the Fifth Elder Guiyi Miao can disappear; if in the future the Four Sovereigns and Three Pure Ones rank Guiyi Miaos also begin to mysteriously disappear… Then perhaps the divine cultivation of the world today will suffer an extremely severe blow. That would affect the longevity of divine cultivators! Lu Taibai stood with his hands behind his back, his silver hair flying. Afterward, he looked at Fang Hanshu, Zhao Fangzhou, and Ding Zi; this pot… can only be borne by the Forefather. "Spread the word, saying… the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda's interior has been infiltrated by Buddhist power, scheming against the young sect master, and now it has been absorbed and suppressed by the Forefather's Dao resonance within the Heaven and Earth minor cave heaven!" Lu Taibai said. A Fifth Elder rank Guiyi Miao vanished into thin air; if this news were to spread, it would likely cause a tremendous uproar. This news, for now, do not spread it! Lu Taibai vaguely… guessed who did it. But Lu Taibai doesn't understand, how could one do this? Guiyi Miao disappeared… And where could it have run off to?! …… …… Li Che did not know that the Forefather had borne a pitch-black big pot for him. If this pot were really spread, the Forefather's background would likely be dug up by divine cultivators all over the world. After all, it was the Forefather who first began to dig the foundations of divine cultivators. Li Che returned to the independent workshop courtyard in Listening Thunder Alley. Upon returning to the courtyard, He sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard, allowing the falling snow from the sky to land on his shoulders and hair tips. And Li Che's whole person, golden light flowed in his pupils. In his pupils, light was reflected, slowly manifesting a line of text prompt. 【Dao Fruit: Immaculate Heart (lv5, 50%)】 【Dao Fruit: Chess Sage (lv5, 30%)】 …… The maturity of the Dao Fruit emerged before his eyes. Li Che did not focus on refining; the deity he had summoned to the heavenly earth chessboard, the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda's temple god. But rather, he paid attention to the incessantly vibrating Dao Fruit feedback! Because, the Dao Fruit's increase this time was not small, it began to throb violently, causing Li Che's emotions to undulate slightly. The Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit and the Chess Saint Dao Fruit, indeed as Li Che imagined, gained a considerable increase. Compared, the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit's increase was indeed not small, rising from the original 35% to 50%, a 15% growth in maturity, mainly due to the stimulation from suppressing this temple deity's summoning. Next, the Chess Saint Dao Fruit's maturity rose from 25% to 30%, which was due to the gain from suppressing the temple deity. What surprised Li Che was that the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit and the Chess Saint Dao Fruit's maturity were still slowly increasing. Because, as the time spent suppressing this temple deity's summoning lengthens, both Dao Fruits will continue to increase, although the subsequent increase will inevitably slow down. Li Che's heart throbbed. Once the Dao Fruit reaches level 5, further increasing it becomes very slow and difficult. Li Che never expected that this time's summoning, suppressing, and sealing the temple deity would yield such a great harvest. Previous summoning, suppressing, and sealing did not noticeably increase the Dao Fruit. Could it be because this temple deity is of the Five Elders' rank? Li Che fell into thought. From the terrifying retaliation encountered after that summoning, it is indeed related to this. "Hoo—" "Ahh—" Li Che's eyes opened and closed, and the qi and blood on his body began to seep out from beneath the skin. Heaven and earth seemed to fall utterly silent in an instant. In the depths of Li Che's eyes, a richer, brilliant golden light streamed forth! This time entering the Heavenly King Tower. The greatest gain, however, was not the increase in maturity of those two Dao Fruits... but rather Li Che, relying on the dog's might, lay back and won the harvest! Li Che went all out, although he did not engage in a fierce clash with the peak-level Golden Heavenly King Tower. Mainly to settle the battle quickly, Dog Grandeur's strike was a bit fierce, giving Li Che few chances to clash with the temple deity; one swipe settled the temple deity and many temple-guarding corpse soldiers. Therefore, this battle did not give Li Che much increase in the maturity of his Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit. But... After Li Che performed the summoning... That mysterious gate burst open, a terrifying, fearsome, extraordinary green hand slapped down from outside the gate, stimulating Li Che's Martial Saint qi to continually resist the opponent. It also allowed Li Che to gain some increase in Dao Fruit maturity. Originally, Li Che, in the Golden Light Prefecture's Golden Divine Palace, clashed with the Heavenly King Tower and smashed it to pieces, because that Heavenly King Tower's rank was only the Six Offices, Li Che only gained 5% Dao Fruit maturity. He raised his Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit from the 90% maturity reached after breaking through Martial Saint to 95%... And this time, after contending with that terrifying green hand... The Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit trembled violently! Sizzle—! Li Che, sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, saw the drifting snow fall silently, instantly vaporized. An incredibly scorching qi-and-blood heat wave surged like a swimming serpent! Li Che's black hair danced wildly, melting countless flying snowflakes, then evaporating them, causing a misty heat to envelop the entire small courtyard! Behind him, five qi-and-blood vortices appeared, like scorching little suns. Rolling, scorching hot, the vortices churned wildly, howling and exploding! Those were the five Mystic Gate Divine Seeds successfully guided by Li Che! And at this moment. Upon Li Che's spine, which roared like an angry dragon, another divine seed formed a vortex, and the stirred qi-and-blood vortex grew ever more vast and mighty! Faintly, it seemed as if a gate of lingering immortal energy appeared, only to be shattered by a staff! Indeed, that was the Gate-Transformed Divine Martial, Shatter Southern Heaven! And at this moment... The divine seed formed by this Gate-Transformed Divine Martial, accompanied by the ever-faster beating Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit in the chest, burst forth with its undulation. As if pulled by an invisible force, it sped at great speed toward the spine. Boom——!!! Li Che's eyes suddenly flew open! His whole person stood amidst wind and rain, his dark robe billowing, his eyes bursting forth with flickering, dancing lightning! Every inch of his skin and every orifice radiated scorching heat, as if emitting light, blazing brilliant myriad-zhang radiance, erupting without cease! Were it not for the Heaven-Earth Chessboard's suppressive shroud, perhaps the entire Qianyuan Dao City would be illuminated like broad daylight! Li Che only felt that at this moment he himself seemed to be undergoing a tremendous transformation! Arms spread wide, five fingers clenched, even the air rippled invisibly. The melted snow and falling droplets all exploded, swept up by the breath, turning into an immense smoke-qi dragon-elephant. The divine dragon swayed its tail, the giant elephant trumpeted! Thud——! A profoundly dull thud! Like a stone dropped into a ten-thousand-zhang deep well, it produced a blast! Li Che's spine emitted crackling pops, his whole body seeming to exude ultrafine traces of blood! As if his fleshly body were enduring an incredibly terrifying pressure! Because... In the spine. The sixth hollow qimen was lit up; the human body is extremely intricate, like the meridian traces of heaven and earth intertwined, another node was lit up! The sixth qimen divine seed! The guidance and opening succeeded! Opened mouth. He spat out a mouthful of scorching hot qi wave! In his chest, the restless Dragon-Elephant Golden Body dao fruit, like the summit of a snow mountain, as if the ancient bronze bell atop a ten-thousand-year-old temple had been struck. The intertwining bell waves, accompanied by a golden light flow like a heartbeat, slowly wove into prompt text appearing before Li Che's eyes. 【Dao Fruit: Dragon-Elephant Golden Body (lv6, 0%)】 Dao Fruit...
