The Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit, shaking violently, responded with unprecedented intensity, as if it had come across something extremely delicious and desirable.
It was like that time when Li Che first encountered the bald-pated Spirit Infant Temple God in the mysterious temple outside Fei Lei City.
Back then, the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit was excited, but not nearly as fervent as it was now.
This caused Li Che’s emotions to stir uncontrollably.
Xi Xi was about to encounter a great opportunity.
The Chess Piece gathered by the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit, with Xi Xi as the link, sensed the flavor of opportunity, hence passing feedback to Li Che.
It was Xi Xi’s chance, and as a father, Li Che naturally could not take it for himself.
After all, Li Che was not lacking in opportunities; Xi Xi’s birth was the greatest opportunity of all.
For every year, one Dao Fruit; Xi Xi growing safely for a year would allow him to gather one Dao Fruit.
Under such a grand opportunity, how could he abandon his dignity and snatch the chance that belonged to his daughter?
However, if his daughter couldn’t handle this opportunity…
To prevent the opportunity from being wasted and ending up benefiting someone else…
Then Li Che would naturally have to reluctantly consume the opportunity himself.
The fat shall not fill the fields of outsiders.
Nevertheless, Li Che also noticed something else…
“Temple God?”
Under the Bull Demon mask, Li Che’s eyes narrowed.
Xi Xi was on Golden Light Peak, the main peak of the Divine Sect Branch, how could there be a Temple God?
Temple Gods were only present in mysterious temples. Could it be that there’s a Mysterious Temple on Golden Light Peak?
Doesn’t that mean Xi Xi is currently in the Mysterious Temple and in great danger?
Li Che took a deep breath, but the Thunder Chess Piece did not indicate any danger to Xi Xi.
Li Che still had great faith in the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit’s accuracy in assessing danger.
With the loot divided, the three had nothing more to discuss and prepared to go their separate ways.
“Bull Demon, call up Horse Face next time,” Lin Xiu said with a smile, looking at the towering Bull Demon.
Upon hearing this, Li Che pondered for a moment, his voice hoarse from beneath the mask, “Okay.”
Lin Xiu pushed up the peacock mask on his nose and stretched lazily.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he leaped onto the roof tiled in black, scanning the distance.
Towards the direction of the Divine Sect Mountain Gate, Golden Light Peak.
A beam of straight golden light pierced into the clouds, strikingly visible against the night.
Li Qingshan and the Bull Demon also leaped onto the rooftop, looking out.
“This is… This is the Divine Flame of the Temple God from the Heavenly King Tower being activated,” Li Qingshan couldn’t help exclaiming, a hint of amazement flickering in his eyes. He glanced at Li Che.
“There is a mysterious temple on the main peak of Golden Light Peak, which is a relic left by an ancestor of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect on Golden Light Peak, after being plundered, leaving only the dormant Temple God in situe.”
“That Temple God is peculiar, not of human form, but is a Divine Weapon with its own spirit.”
“The Divine Weapon is called the Seven Treasures Relic Ruyi Golden Pagoda, usually referred to as the Heavenly King Tower,” Li Qingshan explained.
In fact, he was informing Li Che, so that Li Che wouldn’t worry too much about Xi Xi’s safety.
“Inside the Heavenly King Tower are many treasures, including Divine Weapons, Divine Foundation Techniques, Methods of the Godly Statue, and even Divine Foundation secret techniques, Divine Aspect secret techniques, and so on…”
“Every Sect Master True Successor has the chance to receive the teachings of the Temple God, which is an opportunity to face the test of the Heavenly King Tower.”
“The Heavenly King Tower will provide various levels of support based on one’s Divinity Talent.”
“There’s a wealth of rewards—like the Sect Master’s youngest disciple, oh, not the youngest anymore—that’s Sang Guanyin…”
“The Method of the Godly Statue she practices was granted by the Heavenly King Tower: the ‘Compassionate Six-Armed Guanyin Divine Aspect,’ a low-grade Method of the Godly Statue within the Six Bureaus! Extremely precious… According to the Sect Master, she almost managed to awaken the Godly Que!” Lin Xiu commented, looking up at the rippling waves of air from the Golden Light Peak.”
At that moment, the entire Golden Light Prefecture City was shaken.
The Temple Control Bureau, Qintian Observatory, City Lord’s Mansion, and the Noble Families and Five Major Sects all had Divine Facade Experts releasing their powerful Divine Sense to observe the golden light descending from the sky.
“Tsk tsk, it is said that the ‘Heavenly King Tower’ is a fragmented Temple God, split into three, with one-third remaining on Golden Light Peak, although it also reaches the Six Bureaus level,” Lin Xiu commented with a click of his tongue.
“The other two Heavenly King Towers, one is within the Ganyuan Orthodox Sect in Dao City of Lingnan Circuit, and another, it seems, is in the Divine Capital…”
Lin Xiu knew more naturally, as he often stayed in the Qintian Observatory, with access to its vast collection of texts and his knowledge of astronomy and geography; he also studied the mysterious temples extensively.
“It is rumored that when the Imperial Court was first established, a Divine Fetus Realm Great General personally came to Golden Light Prefecture intending to reclaim this Heavenly King Tower, but failed to do so…”
“The Sect Master of the Authentic Divine Sect also tried to reclaim it, but also failed.”
“Because this Heavenly King Tower resides here, it seems… to be related to the Third Prince Temple at the heart of Nine Dragons River in the Divine Capital.”
“Capital Supervision Minister once said, if the three Heavenly King Towers were to be united, the complete state of the Golden Heavenly King Tower might even step into the ranks of Three Clears Level Divine Weapons.”
Li Che was inwardly shaken upon hearing this.
No wonder the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit was so stirred; even with just one-third of the Heavenly King Tower, it was indeed an extraordinary opportunity for the current Li Che.
“That’s settled; I bid you farewell,” Li Che said with a fist salute.
