369. Chapter 363 Shattering the Void Grand Supervisor returns, solution to Xixi's Prison Lotus tribulation【Seek Monthly Ticket】

Boom—

The vibrations reverberated, constantly surging between the treasure pavilions, constantly lingering beside Deputy Grand Supervisor Fang Shangzhen's ears.

Even though Fang Shangzhen is a mighty expert listed among the divine rankings, he also felt a wave of dizziness and blurred vision.

Honored guest?

What honored guest?

Li Che? But Li Che isn't visiting the Imperial Observatory's Treasure Pavilion for the first time; last time he came, the Grand Supervisor had no reaction at all!

Why is he so excited this time, even calling him an honored guest… and even planning to personally rush back from the Strange Gate!

What grandeur is this!

Even if the Dàjǐng emperor himself appeared, the Grand Supervisor might not necessarily give this much face and grandeur.

After all, for the Dàjǐng emperor to see the Grand Supervisor, he also has to check the Grand Supervisor's schedule; only after the Grand Supervisor returns from the Strange Gate and the emperor gets the news will he come.

So, Fang Shangzhen was truly bewildered by the Grand Supervisor's sudden excitement.

If Li Che isn't the honored guest…

Then who is the honored guest?

Fang Shangzhen suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at the tilted-head Xixi, and a strange expression immediately appeared on his face.

The honored guest the Grand Supervisor mentioned…could it possibly be this little girl?

Xixi also looked at Fang Shangzhen, the demon lord's sister…what are you staring at?

Li Che straightened Xixi's head, smiling as he said: "Xixi has obtained the inheritance of the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Wrathful Third Prince…perhaps it is this inheritance that has made the Grand Supervisor a bit excited."

Li Che's words did little to dispel Fang Shangzhen's confusion.

What kind of person is Fang Shangzhen?

How could one not know the level of that Four Sovereigns Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Wrathful Third Prince Strange Temple of the Jinguang Prefecture?

Even if one truly obtained the temple god's inheritance, it would not be possible to provoke the Grand Supervisor to such excitement.

This little girl…

The smile on Fang Shangzhen's face grew increasingly rich.

To make the Grand Supervisor value this much—no, merely taking the first steps into the Imperial Observatory's Treasure Pavilion, the Grand Supervisor already had a reaction…

Perhaps the Grand Supervisor deduced something from this little child.

Fang Shangzhen's gaze toward Xixi grew ever gentler; without further words, he hurriedly led Xixi and Li Che toward the ninth level.

Originally, Fang Shangzhen planned to first take Li Che and Xixi to the training chamber, then later contact the Grand Supervisor to arrange for Li Che's arrival to request an audience.

But now…

Since the Grand Supervisor personally spoke, she naturally had to change the arrangements.

Li Che held Xixi's hand; Xixi lifted her head and glanced at her father, seemingly sensing his nervousness.

Her heart also tightened; she pouted, her two eyebrows stood upright, paired with two sky‑high braids, making Xixi feel she had a bit of a killing god's aura!

However, upon reaching the ninth level, Xixi's killing‑god aura collapsed utterly.

"Wow…what a huge turtle!"

Xixi's eyes widened, and she exclaimed aloud.

The ninth level was vast and empty, yet the Mystic Turtle Demon King filled it entirely, its massive body exuding a terrifying pressure.

After all, as a demon king, even a wisp of its aura is enough to intimidate an entire region.

Even a grand master would tremble in its presence.

Hearing the exclamation, the dozing Mystic Turtle's eyes instantly opened a slit.

At a glance, it saw Li Che in a billowing black robe.

Oh, it's this pretentious fellow.

The pretentious fellow who recorded the image of Grandfather Turtle's crooked mouth when electrocuted—if that divine eagle were to spread it to the Strange Demon Cave, Grandfather Turtle's lifelong reputation would be utterly ruined.

In a short time, he lost the priority mating rights in the turtle realm!

The Mystic Turtle intended to close its eyes and continue sleeping, not wanting to bother with Li Che, this pretentious fellow.

However, its eyes suddenly widened!

Wide and round!

Staring at the little girl holding Li Che's hand, with two sky‑high braids and a protruding belly.

This child…

The Mystic Turtle's eyes flickered slightly, like a mirror reflecting, and instantly within its pupils surged rolling torrents of black flames.

Centering on that little girl's body, it spread and surged, distorting time and space…

Then, a black‑flame lotus blossomed forth!

"Oh——!"

"It's her! It's her! It's her!"

The Mystic Turtle stared wide‑eyed, astonished and uncertain.

Boom—

Suddenly, the Mystic Turtle felt an immensely powerful aura crash down upon it, its back as if a mountain were collapsing; its limbs instantly lost strength, and with a crack, its plastron slammed heavily onto the ground.

Its limbs flailed upward, like a dog chewing mud.

Li Che gazed gloomily at this scene, making the Mystic Turtle's heart go numb with fear.

Don't look!

Pretentious fellow, don't look!

I can't keep recording Grandpa Turtle's moment of losing his turtle!

On the black tortoise's back, a black fissure seemed to appear out of nowhere, like collapsing particles, slowly tearing open.

The moment the pitch-black fissure appeared, Li Che and Fang Shangzhen felt an extreme terror, as if throwing them into it would instantly slice them to pieces by that dark power.

Don't stare at the darkness within the fissure—it is utterly tranquil.

But in fact… it is extremely violent, like a seemingly calm surface current that hides boundless destructive fury within.

Even an expert swimmer, once drawn in and pulled by the undercurrents, would surely face dire calamity.

"Shatter the Void!"

Li Che's eyes involuntarily flashed with a hint of solemnity.

To rip open the void, the energy needed to erupt is absolutely not a trifling amount.

To achieve the Grand Supervisor's effortless, carefree cutting and tearing, such exquisite mastery over power is immensely difficult!

Divine Tribulation!

True Divine Tribulation!

At this moment, Li Che finally confirmed the Grand Supervisor's strength—indeed a rare Divine Tribulation powerhouse in the mortal realm!

From within the fissure, a jade-like hand slowly protruded; even though the void-torn rift emitted scorching, searing heat that twisted the air, it could not harm that hand in the slightest.

The fissure widened, and a figure clad in white Daoist robes, face shrouded in swirling mist, stepped out from within.

Beneath the mist, a pair of double pupils stood out strikingly—these were real double pupils, essentially different from the illusory double pupils Li Che had seen before.

With a single glance, they could see through people's hearts and perceive the essence of all things in the world!

Meeting those double pupils seemed to mobilize the heavens' and earth's pressure, casually twisting it into mountains that came crashing down violently!

As if a deity gazing down from the heavens.

Divine might surges!

Divine Might Double Pupils!

Like a mountain thrusting up from the earth, sharp as a blade, piercing straight into the clouds, punching a shattered hole in the firmament!

Within the ruptured firmament, someone stood, eyes opened, above the mountain peak in the void, as if in another realm, like an azure dragon raising its head to observe the shadows of the world.

Terrifying!

Li Che's heart sank heavily; his qi and blood involuntarily stirred slightly, as if an angry dragon roared, his qi and blood like a sea, like vast oceans swelling with huge waves.

Strong, terrifyingly powerful!

This is a true Divine Tribulation, not the power of Lü Taibai and Huang Mei, who merely borrowed dao vestiges' tribulation force, having only half a foot stepped into the Divine Tribulation realm!

Truly achieved the effortless ease of shattering the void as easily as cutting soft cake!

This time… it seems to be the True Person Grand Supervisor!

Boom—!!!

Li Che lifted his head, feeling the will of heaven and earth gathering at great speed above the Treasure Tower of the Bureau of Heavenly Astronomy.

Above Shendu, the originally overcast heavens instantly turned pitch-black, heavy black clouds gathering like a gang of annoyed mobs, shouting as they converged, a black mass rolling in.

Accompanying the piling black clouds, bolt after bolt of intertwined lightning erupted and raged within!

Grand Supervisor…

Has returned!

At this moment, within Shendu, all the mighty felt something in their hearts!

the Office of Temple Suppression.

Within the palaces spread throughout, inside a secret chamber, a burly figure like a towering mountain slowly opened his eyes; his bare upper body was covered in tuber-like muscles piled together, brimming with terrifying explosive power.

Strands of solidified, golden‑like qi and blood flowed about like misty ribbons.

If one looks closely, two or three wisps of crimson qi and blood can be seen mingling within the golden flow.

Tufts of coarse, vigorous hair swayed wildly as he rose, nearly brushing the ceiling of the secret chamber.

"Grand Supervisor… has returned."

"He, why has he suddenly returned?"

His expression suddenly tightened with nervousness.

Taking a step, he vanished in a blink, and faintly, fine cracks seemed to appear and bloom in the space.

Reappearing, his immensely burly stature was as light as a leaf, standing atop the black‑tiled roof of the Office of Temple Suppression's watchtower, gazing up at the black clouds piling across the sky.

The power of the Great Tribulation surged within, rolling forth.

"What terrifying calamitous tribulation… damn the will of heaven and earth!"

"Too sensitive, much? The Grand Supervisor just returned, and the will of heaven and earth already sensed it—did you plant a dog's nose in the mortal realm?"

The big man clenched his fists, his voice low.

The sound of breaking space reverberated.

Crimson hair flying, Wang Kui with a gold ring on his nose drifted in, stepping through the void.

Seeing the big man appear, his eyes involuntarily showed a strange hue.

"Grand Governor, how… did you leave seclusion?"

Wang Kui asked.

The Office of Temple Suppression's Grand Governor; though the Office has three governors in name, in reality there is only one Grand Governor.

This person before us is Ye Pengju, the chief of the Fifteen Heavenly Gate Pass arranged by the Grand Supervisor.

He can also be regarded as the martial arts champion of Dàjǐng!

"The aura of the calamitous tribulation startled me; I dare not train further."

"But it was caused by the Grand Supervisor—he has returned."

Ye Pengju said lightly.

Besides Wang Kui, another sound of tearing through the air rang out.

He was the third Supervisor of the Suppressing Temple Office, a man dressed in a Confucian robe; the man's features were extremely handsome, his face smooth beyond compare, as if a layer of slick oil covered it, wearing a flowered hat, with a peony flower stuck in his ear.

Holding a paper fan, he gently swayed it, stirring up a breeze.

Quite the romantic.

"Yo, the Grand Supervisor has emerged from seclusion..."

The Suppressing Temple Office's third Supervisor... Hua Manlou.

A man who year-round frequents brothels, comforting fallen women, his body drained.

As a Supervisor of the Suppressing Temple Office, although he is top-tier peak, he cannot even reach the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Gate Pass.

The towering Ye Pengju glanced at him and snorted, "Lacking restraint."

"The martial way requires restraint; each of your wanton indulgences consumes your talent!"

Hua Manlou immediately gave a wry smile: "The Grand Supervisor is right; I'll definitely do better next time."

Ye Pengju stood with his hands behind his back, his body filled with terrifying explosive power.

"I have adhered to pure Yang for 180 years... Look at me now, I've become terrifyingly strong; you've drained your primal Yang, with such a frail frame, I could knock you out with a single punch."

The golden ring on Wang Kui's nose couldn't help but tremble; these two really always end up arguing whenever they meet.

"But why has the Grand Inspector suddenly returned? There's no omen at all..."

Wang Kui wondered.

Ye Pengju's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze sweeping toward Hua Manlou: "Go check who went to the Imperial Astronomy Bureau's treasure tower today, and you'll know."

Upon hearing this, Hua Manlou's paper fan snapped shut; after clasping his fists, his whole body twisted and he vanished without a trace.

Ye Pengju's entire body was wrapped in an almost pure-gold-colored qi and blood, his eyes like bronze bells.

"Who is it..."

"Is it worth the Grand Inspector making a special return?"

"..."

"..."

Shendu Second City.

Prince Pacifying Rebellion's Manor.

Ji Moli wore dark black armor, hands clasped behind his back, his four sons stood tall and sturdy, like four fierce gods brimming with murderous aura.

At this moment, they all performed the same action, raising their heads to gaze at the sky.

"Three Calamities, Nine Tribulations..."

"Grand Inspector Gongshu of Guigu..."

Ji Moli's eyes flashed with intense apprehension.

By his side, Huang Mei pressed his palms together.

Ji Moli looked for a while, then stopped and turned to continue chatting with Huang Mei.

Ji Moli was actually quite pleased that Huang Mei had agreed to join forces with him.

The power of the Small Spirit Sound Temple is still worth borrowing.

Combined with the Small Spirit Sound Temple, the netherworld will surely be unable to escape even if it grew wings.

Ji Moli believes the netherworld will surely strike again; he is now waiting and seeking to find out when and where the netherworld will act.

The divine golden iron staff wielded by the netherworld's divine monkey...

Ji Moli must get his hands on it.

Over in Qitian Cheng.

The Strange Gate once again began to swell...

There isn't much time left.

"..."

Lotus Pavilion.

National Preceptor Xie Yunshen narrowed his eyes, walked under the eaves, gazed at the black clouds continually piling up in the sky, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of unusual color.

"Grand Inspector... returned from the Strange Gate?"

"Divine Tribulation, truly a terrifying realm..."

"Even the slightest movement causes heaven and earth to change color! Truly a realm to be envied."

National Preceptor Xie Yunshen was too envious.

By his side followed Lu Chi, his five fingers clenched into fists, his gaze also deep and gloomy.

The National Preceptor turned his head to glance at him, shook his head: "Did you see that? This is the Grand Inspector... If you could gain the Grand Inspector's support, the crown prince's position would surely be secure."

"This is the power of the Divine Tribulation realm..."

"Moreover, this Grand Inspector who is a Divine Tribulation is different from other Divine Tribulations."

Afterwards, the National Preceptor also ignored Lu Chi, gazing at the two powerhouses ranked above the Heavenly Gate Pass, Tian Can and Di Que.

"The Grand Inspector certainly wouldn't return for no reason; surely someone provoked the National Preceptor to return. Go investigate who exactly went to see the Grand Inspector today."

Tian Can and Di Que, upon hearing this, clasped their fists and then departed one after another.

"..."

"..."

The anomalies of Shendu attracted the attention of experts from all sides.

Of course, nobody is stupid either; after all, they are all powerful cultivators who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation—even the sect masters of the various great divine sects, the weakest among them are great divine beings of the Four Transformations of the Divine Fetus.

It must be the Grand Supervisor returning, causing heavenly and earthly anomalies.

This anomaly persisted for a long time, but the heavenly disaster calamity did not descend; the terrifying God-Emperor Thunder, one of the Three Calamities imagined, seemed to be shielded by an invisible force.

It is precisely the treasure pearl atop the Treasure Pavilion of the Directorate of Astronomy, guarded by eight dragon carvings.

The ninth level of the Directorate of Astronomy.

The Grand Supervisor stood dazed amidst the white mist, his double pupils flickering with a hint of excitement.

He stared straight at Xixi.

He examined her carefully.

Xixi held Li Che's hand, and she also grew a little nervous.

After all, the other party's casual ability to tear open the void still left Xixi somewhat shocked; she didn't know how strong she would need to be to tear open the void herself!

The sect master's teacher had said that such a method could only be accomplished by a mighty one of the Divine Tribulation Realm!

"Ah..."

The Grand Supervisor's double pupils flickered with light; after gazing for a long time, he finally let out a long sigh.

That sigh was filled with regret and pity.

"You are not her."

In the Grand Supervisor's double pupils, even a deep sense of loss welled up.

Li Che raised his eyebrows, wondering why he felt he had heard the Grand Supervisor's words somewhere before.

However, the Grand Supervisor, not knowing what else he had thought of, suddenly let out a light laugh.

"That's fine..."

Li Che watched the Grand Supervisor mutter to himself.

He felt a slight strangeness in his heart.

"Li Te and company, you came to find me... is it to seek a solution for the power of the Prison Lotus within your daughter?"

Before Li Che could even open his mouth to ask, the Grand Supervisor's double pupils flashed with light, as if he already knew Li Che's purpose.

Li Che nodded, his heart not at all surprised.

Having heard that the Grand Supervisor excelled at deduction, it was no surprise that he had guessed his purpose.

"Difficult, the Prison Lotus fire is a power emanating from the Prison Lotus faction of the Strange Gate; it is the power of the Dao's essence, having long since infiltrated the soul. In fact, if your daughter's physical strength is sufficient, this Prison Lotus fire will temper her body and primordial spirit, serving as aid to elevate her further."

"But if her body is not strong enough, it becomes a life‑ending fire."

The Grand Supervisor said lightly.

Li Che's heart felt a little heavy.

"Xixi has already suffered one calamity before, but the awakened divine will of the dying Third Prince helped suppress the Prison Lotus fire's power; this Prison Lotus fire... is a scheme devised by the deity of the Seven Treasures Reliquary Like‑Intent Golden Heavenly King Temple!"

Li Che said.

The Grand Supervisor nodded.

"There are two methods: find the other two divine weapons of the temple god, form a divine weapon set, draw the temple god's power from within the set to temper Xixi's body; when breaking through the Divine Embryo stage, the power of the divine weapon set should be able to suppress the Prison Lotus, though it is not guaranteed."

"The second method: sever one's own flesh, cut bone and slice meat, enter the Strange Gate to seek the Prison Lotus divine rhizome, forge an indestructible Prison Lotus body; then one need not fear the Prison Lotus fire, and can even rise higher, easily overcoming the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations in the future."

Beneath the mist, the Grand Supervisor's double pupils flickered with light; his resonant, echoing voice gave Li Che two suggestions.

There are actually two methods?

Li Che's heart first leapt with joy, but quickly the delight faded.

Because, of the two methods, only the first is feasible; the second... cutting bone and slicing flesh, Li Che naturally would not be willing, nor could he bear to.

"The first method..."

Li Che drew a deep breath.

"Xixi now possesses the Purple Flame Serpent Spear Fire Tip Lance, the Prison Lotus Wind‑Fire Golden Light Wheel, the God‑Striking Golden Brick, and the Prison Lotus Yin‑Yang Sword... she is only missing the Indestructible Prison Lotus Heaven‑Wrapping Silk and the Mystic Thunder Diamond Vajra Cosmos Ring."

The Grand Supervisor said in a deep voice.

Afterward, the Grand Supervisor raised his jade‑like fingers, formed a seal and initiated deduction; suddenly, divine power surged between heaven and earth.

A divine power resembling a white python coiled up from the back of a black tortoise, actually forming an intertwined tortoise‑and‑snake shape.

In the Grand Supervisor's pupils, it seemed as if countless glints flickered.

Finally, it returned to silence.

"The Indestructible Prison Lotus Heaven‑Wrapping Silk is located on the Ancestral Dragon Island of the Dragon God lineage, and obtaining it will not be easy; while the Mystic Fire Diamond Vajra Cosmos Ring originally resided in the Three Purities‑rank strange temple of the Dragon Abyss Dao, but it is no longer there—it has fallen into the hands of the Corpse God Sect, located at their headquarters."

"The Corpse God Sect sent demon children to Golden Light Prefecture to obtain the temple god's Prison Lotus divine essence lotus seeds, precisely to activate and refine this divine weapon."

The Grand Supervisor said lightly.

A simple deduction nevertheless revealed to Li Che the whereabouts of two mythic divine weapons!

Li Che's heart involuntarily trembled; he instantly gained a direction, and delight spontaneously appeared in his eyes.

For his daughter Xixi, even if it meant braving mountains of knives and seas of fire, these divine weapons must be found!

"Thank you, Grand Supervisor!"

Li Che clasped his fists in salute.

Xixi glanced at her father, realizing that this mysterious old gentleman before her was likely helping her, so she imitated Li Che's manner and bowed.

Seeing this, the Grand Supervisor actually burst out laughing, ha ha ha.

Watching this demeanor, Fang Shangzhen was left speechless; she hadn't seen the Grand Supervisor so open‑hearted in many years.

This little girl actually managed to make the Grand Supervisor's heart bloom with joy.

"Li Te and company, if you wish to thank me, then bring Xixi more often to the Directorate of Astronomy's Treasure Pavilion..."

"Protect her well."

Upon hearing those words, Li Che immediately became solemn.

"My daughter's safety is forever first in my heart; I will spare no effort, using my life to protect her."

Li Che clasped his fists and spoke in a deep voice.

His daughter, of course, must be well protected.

If he doesn't protect her, who will?

The Grand Supervisor's double pupils seemed to deeply glance at Li Che: "You harbor resentment, don't you? Then let the Black Tortoise accompany you on a trip to the Seven Treasures Relic Like-Intent Golden Heavenly King Pagoda..."

Upon hearing this, Li Che was momentarily stunned, then a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Grand Supervisor."

The Grand Supervisor gave a light smile.

The next moment, his whole person drifted like a wisp of cloud and mist, landing before Xixi.

On the ninth level, wind and waves surged suddenly, and the Grand Supervisor seemed to transform into intertwining gusts and waves.

In his deep double pupils lay a hint of sighing resignation.

He slowly extended his hand, as if to touch Xixi and ruffle the little girl's head.

But the instant his fingertip touched Xixi, it turned into mist and dissipated, and the Grand Supervisor vanished once more from the ninth level.

He came in haste, just as he left in haste.

It carried away the black clouds that filled the skies above Shendu.

On the ninth level, the atmosphere instantly returned to calm.

That extreme terrifying pressure, the dreadful sense of annihilation from tearing the void, vanished without a trace.

The Black Tortoise Demon King lay on the ground, eyes wide, staring at Xixi, seeming somewhat fearful.

Suddenly, the Black Tortoise's eyeballs rolled, landing on Li Che.

It just seemed to hear that the Grand Supervisor had lent it to this pressing person.

Fang Shangzhen also heard it, and at this moment his heart felt slightly strange.

The Grand Supervisor actually lent the Black Tortoise Demon King to Li Che?

What is he trying to do?!

Moreover, they are to go to the Seven Treasures Relic Like-Intent Golden Heavenly King Pagoda Guiyi Miao, which is one of the Four Sovereigns Guiyi Miao in Shendu.

What are they going there to do?

Go to kill the temple deity?

However, Fang Shangzhen is not stupid either; although her listening to Li Che and the Grand Supervisor's conversation was vague, she also managed to gather some detailed information.

"Xixi has Hell Lotus Fire inside her; this thing will devour her life, Li Che is very worried..."

"And the cause of this Hell Lotus Fire appearing in Xixi's body is likely the deity of that Golden Heavenly King Pagoda Guiyi Miao? So, the Grand Supervisor having the Black Tortoise accompany Li Che on a trip is to go suppress the deity and vent some anger?"

Fang Shangzhen had a plan in mind.

She looked at Li Che, smiling and saying: "Li Te et al., I don't know if you need help, but this Seven Treasures Relic Like-Intent Golden Heavenly King Pagoda Guiyi Miao is actually infiltrated by Buddhist influence, it has schemed against Xixi, unforgivable."

"I am willing to lend aid to Li Te et al.; after all, the Four Sovereigns Guiyi Miao is no ordinary Guiyi Miao, a single Black Tortoise senior may not be enough, I am willing to join in."

Fang Shangzhen's move is to curry favor with Li Che, or rather with Xixi; after all, the Grand Supervisor could make an exception for Xixi and return, and he is said to be a distinguished guest.

Although, in the end the Grand Supervisor seemed to have mistaken.

Yet Xixi has already left an impression with the Grand Supervisor.

One cannot even be sure whether the Grand Supervisor will later accept Xixi as a disciple, or pass on his position to her; nothing is certain.

After all, from this instance the Grand Supervisor's willingness to send the Black Tortoise to let Xixi vent her rage upon the rampaging deity shows a glimpse.

Li Che laughed, clasped his fists, and thanked: "Deputy Grand Supervisor Fang's willingness to help is naturally the best."

Li Che gritted his teeth and briefly described the scheming he encountered when Xixi broke through to the Divine Appearance.

Upon hearing this, Fang Shangzhen became instantly furious.

"This damned Buddhist temple deity, scheming against the deity itself, even implicating a child, wanting to gamble a child's future and prospects!"

"He deserves a beating!"

Fang Shangzhen also showed his anger.

The mighty world-soul surged with waves, causing space to twist.

"Better to pick a day than to wait for an auspicious one."

Fang Shangzhen's daoist robe billowed, he frowned, calculated with his fingers: "Today is a good day, suitable for travel, relocation, and beating the deity!"

Upon hearing this, Li Che chuckled; Deputy Grand Supervisor Fang truly has a hasty temperament, unlike Grand Elder Fang Hanshu's slow nature—they are two different people.

Moreover, Fang Shangzhen's strength is unquestionable; he ranks fourth on the Divine God Register, even higher than Sect Master Lü Taibai in the rankings!

Of course, now that Lü Taibai has drawn the Dao Yun Tribulation Sword, his strength can no longer be measured by the usual rankings of the Divine God Register.

Li Che also felt no embarrassment.

Fang Shangzhen's usually gentle temperament exploded instantly; Li Che naturally had no reason to disagree.

Beat the deity?

What Li Che wants is not merely to beat the deity...

But giving that Seven Treasures Relic Like-Intent Golden Heavenly King Pagoda deity a thrashing would also be quite good.

"Li Te et al., rest assured; entering the Four Sovereigns Guiyi Miao requires passing through the Temple Suppression Office, but even if Ye Pengju came, they could not hope to stop us!"

Fang Shangzhen's sleeves flared wildly, he clasped his hands behind his back, and spoke coldly and arrogantly.

Such strong confidence.

Li Che smiled, while Fang Shangzhen's gaze fell upon the Black Tortoise Demon King lying motionless on the ground.

Even if...

The Grand Supervisor said Li Che could take the Black Tortoise to the Seven Treasures Relic Like-Intent Golden Heavenly King Pagoda Guiyi Miao.

But the Mystic Turtle now adopts a stance as if a dead turtle isn't afraid of boiling water, showing no intention of moving.

? tTkΛn? ￠〇

It made Li Che's eyebrows involuntarily raise.

The Mystic Turtle lazily glanced at Li Che, as if saying, the Grand Supervisor is asking him to move, but not saying to move right now…

Fang Shangzhen felt a bit helpless; with her years of dealings with the Mystic Turtle Demon King, she instantly understood the old turtle's thinking.

"Li Te and the others… this turtle isn't so easy to invite."

"Never mind, I'll go contact Deputy Grand Supervisor Yue Taofu and, while I'm at it, invite a few more friends…"

"The Four Sovereign Seven Treasure Relic Ruyi Golden Heavenly King Tower Temple God is indeed formidable, but when the top‑tier Fourth and Fifth peak masters join forces with the Great Deity… it cannot be stopped."

"After all, the temple gods in Guiyi Miao have already become fallen temple gods, their former majestic divine might long gone."

Fang Shangzhen said.

The meaning is simple: if this turtle can't be persuaded, just ignore it.

Li Che squinted.

He waved toward Deputy Grand Supervisor Fang Shangzhen.

"Deputy Grand Supervisor Fang, no rush, no rush…"

"Let me give it a try."

"Maybe it'll move after all?"

"Perhaps the turtle is easy to talk to?"

Li Che smiled.

With a fist, a Fifth Elder rank spirit fruit appeared in his hand, a fruit he had rummaged out from the vastly abundant collection of the greedy eunuch Han Sixi.

Han Sixi had amassed a huge pile of such spirit fruits, apparently to satisfy his appetite.

Li Che patted Xixi's head, telling her to stay by Fang Shangzhen's side.

Then, Li Che's black robe rustled.

Step by step, he walked toward the colossal Mystic Turtle.

The Mystic Turtle lay on the ground, lifting its head, sneering at this bastard who had recorded enough to cut off its priority mating rights in the turtle realm.

Using a fifth-level spirit fruit to tempt the turtle?

Just to make the turtle become a henchman?!

How much does this bastard despise the turtle?!

He won't even offer a Fourth Sovereign rank spirit fruit!

After all, the Mystic Turtle is a demon king!

The turtle expelled two jets of hot flow from its nasal cavity.

Watching the Mystic Turtle's posture, Li Che smiled, his spirit slightly stirred.

In an instant, pure‑hearted spirit condensed into a chess piece and pierced the very center of the spirit fruit.

Li Che grasped the spirit fruit and presented it before the arrogantly proud Mystic Turtle.

The Mystic Turtle's body trembled instantly!

Its pupils quivered!

Drool instantly streamed uncontrollably!

Fragrant—

So fragrant!

This bastard uses this thing to test the turtle?!

Which turtle could endure such a test?!

Nevertheless, the Mystic Turtle still has pride!

Just a mere fruit…

I'd rather die—jump off the ninth floor of the treasure tower and smash to death—than eat even a bite of this fruit!

The Mystic Turtle resolutely turned its head away, as if saying.

Turtles also have dignity!

"One isn't enough?"

"Senior, please take a look."
