Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 290 Awakening of the Gods, Ceremony of Becoming a God

A moment later,

The smell of the herbal medicine in the room had not completely dissipated.

After Zhang Fuhu and Li Boyan had been reflecting for a while,

However, they all accepted Li Xijun's astonishingly rapid progress.

Furthermore, Li Boyan's aura has recovered to a strong level, even surpassing that of the past.

This led the three of them to leave the room, which still reeked of medicine, and return to the lakeside pavilion.

The tea in the purple clay teapot was boiling, and Li Boyan personally poured tea for Li Xijun and Li Xijun. The aroma of tea filled the small pavilion room.

After the three of them sat down and enjoyed tea for a while...

Li Boyan then recounted to Li Xijun the ins and outs of the Seven Gods Church incident a month prior.

"hope Jun, in my opinion, the so-called 'tribute of all nations' and 'ceremonial ceremony' of this joint invasion by the Seven Churches are nothing but a pretext. Their true purpose is probably to send the allied forces into the capital and force the emperor to abdicate."

His gaze was sharp, as if piercing through layers of fog.

"They want to use the combined power of the seven Western churches to force His Majesty to undergo that... doomed to failure, godhood ritual."

Li Xijun nodded slightly in agreement at these words.

After Li Boyan's explanation during the tea ceremony, he understood the many arrangements made between the old emperor and the other party.

This theory of a coup is probably the most likely explanation.

"Moreover, the Seven Gods Church's audacity this time is not without its backing. According to the Angel King of the Church of the Machine God—the Machine God has awakened."

"Although it may not be fully awakened and cannot yet display miracles or divine power, the fact that it can convey divine pronouncements is enough to awe all around."

Li Boyan sighed. "After defeating me, the Angel King also mentioned that the God of Machines will be fully awakened this year, and he hoped that I could reconsider some of the 'cooperation' proposals put forward by the God of Machines back then."

"Now that the God of Machines has awakened, the other six gods are probably not far from awakening as well. If they are lucky, it may take several years, but if they are unlucky... a second god may awaken within six or seven months."

"But once all seven Western gods awaken, we'll probably lose more than we win."

"This is the source of the confidence that the angel kings and angels of the Seven Gods Church dare to unite and force the emperor to abdicate."

He looked at Li Xijun, his eyes filled with deep worry:

Even so, they still fear His Majesty, who is now severely injured and weakened. Even though His Majesty is like a candle in the wind, they dare not easily launch a strong attack on the palace, for fear that they might force His Majesty to drag a few more people down with him before he dies.

"Therefore, they devised this wicked scheme, hoping to use this alliance to induce or force His Majesty to perform the ceremony. If the ceremony fails, the backlash could be devastating for His Majesty..."

Li Boyan didn't say anything more, but the meaning was already clear.

The coup was a ruse; the real intention was to use someone else to do the dirty work and bring about the old emperor's own demise.

"His Majesty has long seen through their intentions."

Li Boyan continued, his tone carrying a hint of determination.

"He has already informed us in advance. We will do our best to delay the ceremony. Furthermore, the ceremony will not be completely completed; halfway through, His Majesty will arrange for people to deliberately 'disrupt' the ceremony."

"Although this action will also have a backlash, and His Majesty will be seriously injured as a result, perhaps even barely clinging to life, it is still better than dying on the spot."

"At that time, with the remaining strength and arrangements, we can still continue to play the game with the Church of the Seven Gods, turning this into a long war of attrition."

"In this way, His Majesty will surely buy enough time for you... for your growth, and for the princess's transformation!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xijun was deeply shaken.

The old emperor did not hesitate to harm himself to buy time, and Li Boyan and others had to withstand the enormous pressure from the Church of the Seven Gods. The core of all this was to continue to buy time for his and Su Youli's development.

This somewhat tragic posture made him feel even heavier.

But precisely because of this,

Li Xijun, however, found this arrangement difficult to accept.

Rather than resorting to self-harm and delaying tactics as the old emperor had devised, he preferred to directly execute the seven angels of the Church of Seven who had joined forces to force him to abdicate.

However, the King of Angels is the most special among all gods, and there can only be one.

Its strength far surpasses that of Sequence One, second only to the gods.

Even Li Boyan, with his level one lightning tribulation, could only deal with one opponent.

Now that the Church of the Seven Gods is forcing its way out, besides the two Angel Kings from Tianjin and the Libra Angel, there will probably be four more angels, including perhaps an Angel King.

Even though Li Xijun has many tricks up his sleeve and a lot of trump cards, to be on the safe side, he must first break through to the Spirit Refinement Realm to be on the safe side.

"I see."

Li Xijun's voice was low and resolute.

"I must pass through the tribulation of lightning as soon as possible and achieve the first level of tribulation of lightning."

Li Boyan was unaware of Li Xijun's plan, but nodded with satisfaction: "That's exactly right. With the current strength of your mental state and that wisp of yang energy, you should have an 80% or higher chance of surviving the first tribulation."

Li Xijun immediately stood up: "There's no time to lose. I'll take my leave now and find a secluded place to prepare to trigger the tribulation."

"Hmm!" Li Boyan also stood up, a decisive glint in his eyes. "You may go. I will also immediately go into seclusion to adjust my condition and try to find an opportunity to break through to the second level of the Thunder Tribulation. Now that my injuries have been fully healed, I feel like I've been reborn after being destroyed, so perhaps I can give it a shot."

"If I can achieve the second level of the Thunder Tribulation, even if His Majesty passes away in the future... I will have more confidence to deal with and confront the Church of the Seven Gods, buying you more time!"

Upon hearing that Li Boyan was also going to attempt the extremely dangerous second level of the Thunder Tribulation, Li Xijun's heart stirred.

He knew that the tribulation would become increasingly difficult as it progressed, and the risk of perishing was extremely high.

But he understood better the nature of a great Confucian scholar like Li Boyan; once such a person made up his mind, no one could dissuade him.

then,

Li Xijun did not speak to stop him, but instead pointed his fingers out again, like a sword.

Ignoring Li Boyan's subconscious refusal, she forcibly separated a portion of the pure will power of all living beings from the vast ocean of will power in her own sea of ​​consciousness, transforming it into a warm and dazzling golden torrent that flowed into Li Boyan's body.

"Lord Boyan, this journey to break through is extremely dangerous. You must accept these wishes; at crucial moments, they may help you repair your mind multiple times and increase your chances of success!" Li Xijun said resolutely.

Feeling the vast and warm reserve of willpower within him, Li Boyan opened his mouth, but ultimately let out a complex sigh, swallowing all his words of advice and gratitude, and patted Li Xijun's shoulder heavily:

"hope Jun, you will also be undergoing a tribulation of lightning... Be careful!"

Li Xijun said no more, cupped his hands in a salute, and his figure vanished like a wisp of smoke, leaving the Li residence.

next moment,

His figure had already appeared high in the sky above Tianjin.

The clouds flowed beneath his feet, but he did not immediately begin to trigger the lightning tribulation.

At this moment, the capital city in the north is abuzz with activity, and the Seven Gods Church has gathered its most powerful members. To undergo tribulation here would be tantamount to exposing one's trump cards right under the enemy's nose, which is truly unwise.

His mind raced, and he quickly locked onto his target.

"Longhu Mountain, the Celestial Masters Sect."

Although there had been some unpleasantness with the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain before,

But overall,

There, there exists a contemporary Celestial Master with whom he has established a cooperative relationship of "following the dragon."

More importantly, as one of the ancient Taoist ancestral temples, Longhu Mountain has been a place where countless patriarchs have undergone tribulations in the specific area it designated and managed since ancient times.

Over the generations, these places of tribulation have not only perfected their formations and weakened the power of the lightning tribulation by utilizing their special geographical location, but they can also greatly conceal the strange phenomena of heaven and earth that occur during the tribulation, preventing them from being easily detected by the outside world.

The situation is urgent now, and there is a ready-made, fully-equipped, top-tier place for transcending tribulations, so why not use it?

Moreover, Longhu Mountain is located in a relatively remote area, far from the center of this turmoil, which allows for more covert operations.

"Perhaps undergoing tribulation there might have some unexpected and miraculous effects... It would be easier to break through the first level of the lightning tribulation by then, making it easier to kill others."

Li Xijun gazed towards Longhu Mountain, then without further hesitation, the space around him rippled slightly, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the clouds as he sped towards that Taoist holy land.
