Chapter 361: Chapter 157: Emperor Xi Xi’s New Concubine, A Young Girl Harboring a Temple God Inside_3
But they discovered that the Strange Que had split in two, revealing a wide pathway.
They saw figures walking out from that pathway one by one.
They were the Guest Elders from the Qintian Observatory.
Qi Yanghao was stunned, yet he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief inside.
Then he saw Li Che holding the Incense Burner for Invoking Gods, at the very end of the line.
As soon as Li Che emerged, the Strange Que closed once more, as if the wails and howls of Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses within kept echoing back and forth.
Gong Yunli and Gongyang Liancheng both also couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.
Seeing Li Che walking out safely, holding the Incense Burner for Invoking Gods, their expressions eased up considerably.
Qi Yanghao’s eyes flickered, watching Li Che holding the incense burner.
Such incense, not everyone could move it.
This Guest Elder from the Qintian Observatory was extraordinary.
Due to the sudden accident, many Guest Elders were still in shock and dared not enter the Mysterious Temple again.
The matter of observing the Temple God thus came to an end, and although most Guest Elders didn’t gain much, there were those who had attained insights after observing the Temple God.
But compared to what Li Che had gained, theirs were negligible.
The group bid farewell to the Divine Envoys such as Qi Yanghao, who were stationed in the freeze of the Mysterious Temple, and returned to the Heart Monkey Temple. Ра₦O͍BĘṠ
Still unable to enter the temple, they were stopped outside.
The crowd didn’t mind; after a brief rest, they headed towards Mansion City.
Li Che and Gong Yunli once again shared a carriage.
Gong Yunli brewed some hot tea and passed it to Li Che to calm his shock.
"A Che, did you gain something? Observing the Temple God helps improve your wood carving skills,”
"After you return to Mansion City, in a few days, you’ll start the examination for Second-Class Guest Official, which will be personally supervised by the personnel from the Qintian Observatory in the State City.”
Gong Yunli said, “You should practice Wood Carving Technique well during this time and master the Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Technique.”
Li Che, propping his chin with one hand, looked out of the window at the swirling snow, listening to Gong Yunli’s chatter, yet he felt remarkably content.
This trip to the Mysterious Temple had been too rewarding.
It was not only the discovery of the Corpse God Cult’s stronghold but also the acquisition of a mythical weapon like “Equal to Heaven’s Face,” albeit incomplete.
The complete mythical weapon was still waiting for him to gather.
And it was connected to the mysterious inheritance of the Equal Heaven Temple, but that wasn’t a problem.
There will certainly be opportunities to collect it and achieve Perfection in the future.
Li Che was even looking forward to seeing if the complete “Equal to Heaven’s Face could restore that one’s former glory.
The carriage jolted and rattled, tearing through the curtain of snow, galloping on the road covered with thick snow.
"This year’s snow is a bit heavy, trending towards a snow disaster. I wonder how many will freeze to death, how many will become refugees in this harsh winter.”
Gong Yunli sighed softly, voicing his thoughts.
"In the face of nature’s forces, human strength is pitifully small.”
Li Che was silent as well and sighed softly.
"This year’s harsh winter and heavy snow seem a bit unusual.”
"Is it related to the Third Prince’s Mysterious Temple?”
Gong Yunli leaned his broad chest against the table to lighten some pressure, crossed his arms in front of his body as if starting to think.
Li Che’s heart stirred slightly.
"Minor Supervisor, why do you say that?”
Gong Yunli said, “The calculations by the Capital Supervision Minister indicated that this year, the inheritance from the Third Prince’s Mysterious Temple at Golden Light Prefecture would emerge, which is why there has been such significant activity. Many Divine Children have come from Dao City, even the Prince of Pacifying Chaos has sent his youngest son
"All of it for the chance to gain the Third Crown Prince’s inheritance during this Temple God Resonance event.”
"This is an inheritance from the Four Royal Mysterious Temples, which is definitely extraordinary,” Gong Yunli stated earnestly.
Li Che nodded upon hearing this; so it was related to the Great Supervising Minister.
He thought to himself, Golden Light Prefecture had housed the Four Royal Mysterious Temple for so many years, and the Temple God Resonance had opened so many times, but why was this occasion so grand.
"After all, the Third Prince’s Mysterious Temple is of Four Imperials Level, and many powerhouses have been keeping an eye on it. Don’t be deceived by the fact that not a single Divine Fetus Great God is stationed there—it’s because the Four Royal Third Prince’s Mysterious Temple is still peaceable as of now,”
"Any of the Four Royal Mysterious Temples are monitored by the Great Supervising Minister of the Divine Capital’s Qintian Observatory, who ensures that at the first sign of any irregularity, powerhouses can be dispatched to guard the temple, and in critical moments, even Divine Embryo Realm’s great gods can be sent.”
Gong Yunli revealed a secret.
Indeed, this was a secret.
Li Che was startled. So the Capital Supervision Minister could monitor the Mysterious Temple from such a vast distance?
To know that Golden Light Prefecture was more than ten thousand miles away from the Divine Capital.
And yet could monitor from such a distance, Li Che was somewhat curious about how it was achieved.
After some more jolting, the carriage finally caught sight of the gates of Golden Light Prefecture City.
But the carriage was stopped.
The Divine Guard Army, clad in golden armor, deployed neatly, blocking off all the caravans.
Not just Li Che and company, but many other courier caravans were also stopped outside, temporarily unable to enter the city.
In the distance, through the snow, came majestic Demon Blood Treasure Horses, on whose backs sat guards in black armor.
The black-armored guards were escorting an unremarkable carriage, with a one-armed charioteer sitting quietly on the coachman’s seat, managing the reins.
"That’s the convoy of Prince of Pacifying Chaos’s youngest son.”
Gong Yunli leaned against the window, observing the scene at the city gate.
"Truly domineering, just like the Prince of Pacifying Chaos himself.”
