Chapter 946: Chapter 288: Xi Xi, watch your dad catch Thunder Loach for you; father and daughter together attend the Flat Peach Victory Meeting [Thanks to the leader Wang Shi]_4

Li Che successfully transcended the Semi-Saint Tribulation, and instantly became the center of attention, with many Divine Sculpture Masters flocking over to congratulate him.

The Ridge Master Gongshu Jingjun couldn’t stop smiling.

As rich and mighty as he is, he waved his hand grandly and with unparalleled bravado!

“This is a great celebration for Divine Carving Ridge. For the next three days, Divine Carving Ridge will host a three-day banquet, and all divine sculptures here will be reduced by twenty percent!”

“Congratulations to Elder Li!”

“Congratulations to the newly ascended Divine Sculpture Half-Saint of Qianyuan Dao City!”

“Let’s celebrate together, and share the joy!”

…

…

The enthusiastic Divine Sculpture Masters made Li Che feel somewhat flattered and overwhelmed.

Lv Taibai took Xi Xi and the Sect Master’s Wife away on sword light.

Before leaving, Lv Taibai discussed the “Flat Peach Victory Meeting” with Li Che.

“The Flat Peach Victory Meeting is organized by the Empress herself, and since the founding of the Great Vista Kingdom, it has already held seven sessions. It is named after the Flat Peach Victory Meeting because of the connection with the Three Pure Bizarre Temples in Divine Capital.”

Lv Taibai’s silver hair fluttered as he stood on sword light, talking to Li Che.

“The Flat Peach Victory Meeting gathers youthful prodigies from the Great Vista World in two age categories. From ages five to fifteen, it is the Chulong Victory Conference, and from ages fifty to fifteen, it is the Heroic Victory Conference… The leaderboard champion can receive the [West Queen Mother’s Peach], a reward of these Heaven and Earth strange objects from the Empress taken from the bizarre terraces of the Three Pure Bizarre Temples.”

Lv Taibai looked at Li Che, smiling: “So, if you and your daughter could both participate and showcase your talents in these two conferences, it would be quite unique, and potentially quite the story.”

“Of course, the main goal is pursuing the Flat Peach; even if you fail, it’s no problem. Just participating and experiencing it is worthwhile, and you’ll gain knowledge. Given your ages, you can still enter the next Flat Peach Victory Meeting.”

Lv Taibai’s words caused Li Che’s eyes to light up.

Rewards are not important…

Li Che wasn’t very concerned.

The main thing is, if he could participate in the Flat Peach Victory Meeting with Xi Xi, it would be… a very exciting experience.

Of course, the reason Li Che decided to participate without hesitation was Lv Taibai’s last sentence.

“Perhaps you have no concept of the kind of Heaven and Earth strange object that West Queen Mother’s Peach is…”

“Let me put it another way…”

“One Flat Peach can extend one’s life by sixty years.”

…

…

Inside the lavish carriage, Li Che leaned against the soft cart wall.

Opposite him, Yun Haiyang and Zhou Tianshui, the two Divine Sculpture Masters, were fervently talking with him.

However, while Li Che responded with a smile, he couldn’t help but start contemplating the potency of the Flat Peach.

Extending life by sixty years, even though the effect of the second Peach is halved, and the third Peach’s effect is further halved… the fourth Peach is completely ineffective, but this life-extending Heaven and Earth strange object is already extremely rare and valuable!

“If I could prepare some Flat Peaches for my wife Zhang Ya…”

Li Che’s eyes glinted.

Li Che had great confidence in his and Xi Xi’s talent, believing that they would certainly reach immortality in the future, but for Zhang Ya… it was hard to say.

If given more time for Zhang Ya, Li Che could muster more resources for preparation.

Thus, the Flat Peach is indeed important to Li Che!

However, becoming the champion of the Flat Peach Victory Meeting is no easy task.

Whether it’s Xi Xi in the Chulong Victory Conference or him in the Heroic Victory Conference, the competitors are prodigies from various paths of Great Vista, Great Divine Sect, Vassal Prince Mansion, and Ancient Families!

Li Che sat in the chariot thinking, as he didn’t wish to undergo the [Lei-Ci Dao Body] transformation while the two Divine Sculpture Masters were present.

Nie Yang drove the carriage and brought Li Che back to Qianyuan Dao City.

And the news of Li Che becoming a Divine Sculpture Half-Saint spread like a storm, instantly enveloping the entire city!

“Elder Li Che?”

“Isn’t he the one whose daughter was recently accepted as the last true successor by the Taibai Sect Master?!”

“This… their family is on the brink of glory! The daughter is outstanding, while the father is equally monstrous! A twenty-four-year-old Divine Sculpture Half-Saint, truly astonishing!”

…

All the noble families were shocked.

In the Su Family, Su Daoling suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with amazement.

“A twenty-four-year-old Divine Sculpture Half-Saint?”

“A monster, a monster indeed…”

Su Daoling took a deep breath, yet couldn’t help but show a bright and passionate look.

With such a talented daughter, the bloodline must be exceptionally great. If the Su Family could marry Li Nuanxi, just the essence of Li Che’s bloodline alone would be enough to revitalize the Su Family!

“Su Li, go call Su Li over!”

“Also summon Su Chuyang!”

“Moreover, prepare a congratulatory gift, send it to Elder Li, and congratulate him on proving the Dao as a Divine Sculpture Half-Saint!”

…

Not only the Su Family took action.

The Yun Family, Zhou Family, Zhong Family, Sang Family, and other noble families also made moves, having learned of the news early, and began preparing gifts.

But when Li Che returned to the courtyard in Liuxiang Lane, he announced seclusion.

Nie Yang, with a blade in hand, stood guard at the courtyard entrance, releasing sharp sword intent that soared into the skies, imposing the aura of a Supreme Grandmaster with Three Flowers Atop!

Resolute and unyielding sword intent, raging all around!

As if saying, anyone who approaches dies!

Momentarily, it truly deterred many visitors.

Li Qingshan ran over, with a wide smile, gracefully and easily interacting with many visitors from noble families, collecting all the gifts.

Li Qingshan knew Li Che’s temperament; how could he refuse what others give him?

Once Li Che returned to the courtyard in Liuxiang Lane.

He grasped the Thunder Chess Piece, instantly vanished.

…

…

Qianyuan Dao City.

Thunder Alley.

The secluded workshop courtyard.

Li Che returned to the small courtyard, spring rain pattered gently, hitting the dark tiles, producing crisp sounds.

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the courtyard, hot steam surged around him, evaporating all falling raindrops.

“Breathe–”

“Exhale–”

Breath flowed, and the water vapor steamed rapidly!

Li Che’s eyes opened and closed, as if golden light was slowly flooding and flickering in his eyes.

All over his body, blue thunder arcs constantly shot out, crackling through the air, causing the air currents in the courtyard to howl ceaselessly.

The sound of thunder arcs movements across the heavens and earth, causing a chorus of thousands of birds, creating a cacophony.

Yet, Li Che’s heart fell into absolute tranquility.

Within his chest, the Dao Fruit of [Lei-Ci Dao Body] jumped vigorously, the sound of jumping gradually breaking the heart’s tranquility, akin to the ancient sound of a copper bell ringing atop a snow-covered ancient temple on an eternal mountain peak!

Zhong Bo resonated, shaking the heart!

As if endless mountain snow roared downward!

Li Che felt as though his entire being had transformed into thunder energy, with every inch of flesh and skin bursting with electric light.

Most importantly, it seemed the surrounding field was rotating, distorting the direction of numerous falling rain and blowing wind, unable to reach Li Che.

Li Che sat cross-legged, as if countless invisible threads descended from above his head and emerged from beneath his body, forming a complete closed loop!

Li Che slowly raised his hand, clapped both palms vigorously.

The entire being rose freely in the air.

The ancient elder robe’s sleeves fluttered wildly, producing echoing sounds.

Electric currents surged in Li Che’s eyes.

In front, stream light resembled flowing fire.

Quickly flickering.
