Chapter 364: Chapter 158: The Foundation of Strengthening the Underworld, Visiting Ghost Temple at Night to Meet Zhong Kui_2

Li Che nodded affirmatively, confirming Li Qingshan’s speculation.

A murderous intent surged in Li Qingshan’s eyes, “Let’s do it.”

With a simple clinking of their cups, they had formed a plan.

After the meal,

Li Qingshan and Nurse Momo went for a walk to aid digestion.

The children played in the courtyard while Zhang Ya resumed her martial training rigorously, and life began to slow down and harmonize.

Li Che sat under the eaves for a while before smiling and entering the study.

The Heaven and Earth chessboard unfolded, isolating any prying eyes.

Li Che sat cross-legged inside the study, beginning his research on the Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank and the technique “Nine Seals of Mechanism.”

He was quite interested in this secret technique.

He felt the potential of this technique far surpassed that of ordinary ones, so he decided to invest more energy into studying it.

"My Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit has already reached level 3 with a maturity of 90%. With a few more battles, I should be able to break into level 4

Li Che couldn’t help but feel expectant.

Compared to the Pure Heart, Chess Saint, and Fairy in the Painting, the progress of the Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit was just behind that of the Immortal Artisan.

The enhancement he gained from his battle at Longshan allowed the Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit to reach full saturation at once.

"So… this journey to the Heart Monkey Temple might just elevate my Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to level 4 and advance the Prototype of Divine Powers into Divine Skills!”

Li Che’s eyes flickered with anticipation.

Primarily, the appearance of that Great Grandmaster by the Young Prince had put great pressure on Li Che.

Thus, enhancing the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit and adding more foundational strength would be beneficial.

The more foundation you have, the more confidence you gain.

If he ever had to face this Great Grandmaster, he would have the means to act.

After some contemplation,

Li Che’s mind subtly stirred.

His fingers pinched together and tore open the air.

A gleaming mirror fell out of the Qiankun Space.

It was the Thousand Li Divine Communication Mirror with a round bronze back!

Li Che’s expression turned peculiar.

He picked up the round mirror, glanced at it, and instantly, radiant light reflected out, converging into text in front of the mirror.

"Xuanjiu, Fire Eye Mysterious Awe Spirit Ape Temple, the sect’s hunting plan will commence. Do not act on your own.”

Li Che almost laughed out loud.

Such an earnest message had come through.

Upon reflection, Li Che was sure that it must have been when he settled in the Heart Monkey Temple that the other side sensed the Divine Communication Mirror. 𝘙åΝÔBĚȘ

He was surprised that both had a mutual sensing capability when storing the mirror in the Qiankun Space, though it seemed to require a very close proximity.

"The Evil People of Corpse God Cult… do they want to make a move on the Fire Eye Mysterious Awe Spirit Monkey Strange Temple? A hunting plan? What are they hunting… the Temple God?”

Li Che was stunned.

They did not know that Xuanjiu had already been covertly killed by him, so the message was likely authentic.

"Hunting the Temple God?”

"The Corpse God Cult has such means?”

Li Che’s expression grew solemn.

He studied the Divine Communication Mirror and slowly channeled his Divine Sense into it, but there was no response.

This item seemed to be imprinted with the Corpse Curse Mark, needing Death Qi to be activated.

Others could hardly operate it.

But Li Che was different…

With a thought, he lifted his finger, and Death Qi coiled out from the Corpse God Death Smoke Finger.

He used the Death Qi to inscribe on the mirror.

"I’ve been severely injured. When will we act? Do you need my help?”

Within the Heaven and Earth chessboard,

The Corpse Curse Mark vibrated, sending out pulses.

It transmitted the inscribed message!

Li Che didn’t mind revealing his identity but didn’t mind playing it as a casual move either.

…

…

Heart Monkey Temple.

Seated in the side chamber, Master Xuan Li, who was inhaling and exhaling Death Qi and Corpse Qi, suddenly opened his eyes.

He took out the Divine Communication Mirror from his chest, which was reflecting light.

The faint light intertwined into text.

A smile appeared on Xuan Li’s face, “If he hadn’t replied for a long time, that would mean the Divine Communication Mirror had been obtained by someone else and couldn’t be activated with Death Qi and the Corpse Curse Mark, hence no reply.”

"Now that there’s a reply… it indicates that Xuanjiu must still be alive, just as I figured, severely injured.”

"Although I’m not sure why he’s hiding within the Qintian Observatory’s troops

"But Xuanjiu must have his own plan.”

"After all, the Corpse Curse Mark is something that can’t be forged. Once the mark is given… that person belongs to our sect!”

"The Divine Communication Mirror isn’t something anyone can activate.”

Xuan Li let out a breath.

Then, with a snort of scorn, “Xuanjiu… really is inadequately skilled. No wonder he’s spent half his life only as a Seven Elements Lower-rank Corpse God Envoy, his Silver Gang unstable, easily broken by the Chief Supervisor, resulting in severe injuries

"Embarrassing.”

His eyes twinkled, and he shook his head, “But for the subsequent plans, having Xuanjiu, a Seven Elements Lower-rank Corpse God Envoy, assist us would really facilitate the hunting of the Temple God.”

Death Qi emerged from his finger and he wrote on the Divine Communication Mirror again.

"Xuanjiu, are your injuries severe? Do you need the Seven Elements Death Qi Condensing Pill? I have one. Take it and recover quickly so you can assist us in our god-hunting operation.”

There was a silence on the other side of the Divine Communication Mirror for about a dozen breaths.

Xuan Li chuckled, as though he could see through the Divine Communication Mirror the eager yet face-saving troubled expression of Xuanjiu.

Moments later,

A message came back from the Divine Communication Mirror.

Reluctantly,

"Alright.”

Xuan Li smiled.

He replied,

"Don’t be shy, recovering your injuries is what’s most important for completing our mission.”

"Get ready to receive.”

He then took out a Black Jade Bottle from the Qiankun Jade.
