The expert from the Corpse God Cult hidden within the Divine Sect wouldn’t have exposed themselves had they not made a move against Xi Xi, thus revealing a weakness Li Che could exploit.
Li Che wished he could immediately complete the suppression and refinement of the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal, but ultimately, his own cultivation was insufficient to do so.
Although anxious at heart, Li Che was also clear that such matters could not be rushed.
Gathering his spiritual consciousness, Li Che opened his eyes.
Sitting quietly in the room, his fingers gently tapped on the sandalwood table and chair before he seemed to think of something and took out Shangguan Qinglei’s Qiankun Jade.
His formidable Divine Sense tore through the barriers of the Qiankun Jade.
He then became aware of what was stored inside.
There wasn’t much within, nor anything of great value, after all, it was just the Qiankun Jade of a seven-year-old child.
He quickly scanned through, looking for anything left behind by those pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
After sorting things out, Li Che stood up, his bones crackling thunderously.
His spirit was actually better than he had anticipated.
"Huh... has my Divine Sense actually grown stronger?"
"In the Heaven and Earth chessboard, by manipulating the Pure Heart white piece to clash with the white bone hand formed from Death Qi and Corpse Qi, could it actually strengthen my Divine Sense?"
Li Che was surprised and doubtful.
To know that the strength of the Divine Sense was related to the robustness of the Divine Foundation; the stronger the Divine Foundation, the more powerful the Divine Sense would naturally become.
Cultivation in the Divine Base Realm was always accompanied by the tempering of Divine Sense.
The stronger the tempering of the Divine Sense, the easier it would be to make a breakthrough into the Divine Phase later on.
But now, Li Che had discovered a method to refine the Divine Sense separately.
"While suppressing the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal, my Divine Sense will also grow stronger..."
Li Che smiled, considering it an unexpected gain from this operation.
Although the mastermind had not been found, by resolving the issue with Shangguan Qinglei and the threat posed by the white bone hand, Li Che’s mood lightened slightly.
Deciding not to continue his closed-door cultivation in the room, Li Che directly opened the door and left.
Li Qingshan was sitting in the distance, observing the Divine Phase, with the intimidating aura of the Divine Phase Rank surrounding him. He was truly only one step away from the Divine Phase Realm.
Sensing that Li Che was leaving the room, his eyes opened and closed, and countless sparks of electricity interweaved, while the immense power of Slay Evil spread out invisibly like ripples in the air.
Li Che glanced over from afar as Li Qingshan slowly retracted his aura and the thunderous Divine Likeness gradually dissipated.
He breathed in and out, with the sound of thunder roaring inside him.
The display was staggering.
Li Qingshan walked over to Li Che with a smile, "Is it resolved?"
Li Che nodded, knowing that Li Qingshan was referring to the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal, and he did not conceal it.
It was on the basis of the cooperation between the two that he could suppress the Corpse Curse Seal and detect the Corpse Curse Mark; there was no need for secrecy.
"However, complete suppression will take some time; the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal is indeed extraordinary," Li Che said.
Li Qingshan nodded as a matter of course, "That you could suppress the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal has already far exceeded my expectations... Take it slow, remember to be steady, definitely don’t get contaminated, the consequences are very serious if you do."
Hearing this, Li Che also understood Li Qingshan’s meaning.
"Don’t worry, I have a sense of it," Li Che responded lightly.
Li Qingshan looked toward the distant Seven Yuan Divine Image, his gaze concentrated and voice deep: "Old fellow, it’s almost time."
"Soon, I’m afraid I’ll be able to break through to the Divine Phase..."
"And in Golden Light Prefecture City, and even within the entire Divine Sect, there are sure to be many who do not wish for me to break through to the Divine Phase."
Li Qingshan, with his hands clasped behind his back, let the mountain wind flutter his clothes, outlining his figure.
"Could it be... they will deliberately attempt to sabotage at the time of your breakthrough?" Li Che speculated upon hearing Li Qingshan suddenly say this.
"One should say they will certainly take action to disrupt it..."
"Whether it’s within the sect or outside, it’s the same. Inside Golden Light Prefecture City, I have hammered the Five Major Sects one round each, as well as the Five Great Clans."
"Naturally, they are the ones who least want me to break through to the Divine Phase Realm..."
"Once I become a Divine Minister, they will no longer have many good days left."
Li Qingshan stretched lazily, appearing rather carefree.
Then, he cast a lazy glance over at Li Che and started to laugh, "How about it? Interested in... lending me a hand?"
"Call Horse Face over... I need his sniping ability."
"As long as I achieve the Divine Phase, I can offer an Eight Extremes Divine Crystal as a reward."
Li Qingshan was generous.
Li Che was speechless; the unspoken implication was that if the breakthrough wasn’t successful and he died on the way, then the promise of the Divine Crystal would be null and void.
Although Li Qingshan seemed to be asking for a white wolf empty-handed, Li Che’s eyes still flickered slightly, an Eight Extremes Divine Crystal... It was enough to spare Horse Face one shot.
Of course, as coveted as the Eight Extremities Divinity Realm was, it wasn’t so easy to get and carried with it much risk.
When Li Qingshan made his assault on the Divine Phase, he would certainly not go elsewhere but would choose Zheng Lei Peak, which meant within the boundaries of the Divine Sect Mountain Gate.
Those who dared to attack the Divine Sect Mountain Gate...
Were hardly any weaklings; at the very least, they would all be of the Void Aspect, and there might even be battles at the Divine Phase Rank.
Li Che began to consider whether to get involved in this matter.
"Just ask Horse Face to take a single shot, regardless of the outcome, the reward will be given. After one shot, he can stop and needn’t handle anything else," Li Qingshan said solemnly.
The power of Horse Face’s sniping that had pierced through Shangguan Zhengheng’s Cursed Copper Corpse Body was terrifying, and even Li Qingshan would have a headache if he were to face it.
After all, his body wasn’t as tough as a Cursed Copper Corpse.
