The Emperor, pressured by a rival and a damaged dignity, agrees to hand over the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner to Supreme Xuanzhen. He entrusts the banner, sealed in a mysterious box, to his confidant Mr. Lian for transport. However, Li Che, observing through his Heaven and Earth chessboard, detects the Emperor's deception and realizes the box likely contains a counterfeit.

Though the Emperor doesn't harbor distrust towards the Supreme, he remains wary of the Black Robed Venerable. It must be acknowledged that the Emperor possesses considerable caution and astuteness, yet all these maneuvers unfold directly under Li Che’s watchful gaze.

With a swift whoosh, the Gathering Immortal Yellow Flag, clutched within Li Che’s five fingers, began to tremble. It appeared that the Jade Box, bestowed upon Mr. Lian by the Emperor, indeed concealed the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner. Should the flag be pilfered, the true target would be the divine weapon residing within the Purple Sandalwood Box, granting Mr. Lian ample opportunity to activate the Divine Talisman and make his escape with the Jade Box.

One could only concede that the Emperor's foresight was remarkable, having meticulously prepared a contingency. Li Che offered a nod of admiration, appreciating the Emperor's steadfastness, a trait that earned the approval of this 'Stable King' accustomed to navigating perilous situations.

The Martial Immortal Will commenced its traversal across the Heaven and Earth chessboard, diligently monitoring the developments surrounding Mr. Lian. As the path to the Deceit Que Heaven and Earth unfurled, the Black Robed Venerable identified a Jiao Long Carriage. This carriage, drawn by two Divine Tribulation Venerables and laden with a Purple Sandalwood Box that emanated a potent aura, solidified the Black Robed Venerable's conviction that it housed the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner.

After all, the Black Robed Venerable could fathom no reason for the Emperor to deceive the Supreme. The Emperor relied on the Supreme's presence, and any deception would serve no logical purpose, especially since the Supreme was restricted from leaving Qitian Inner City or dismantling the Qian Yuan Divine Sect. Consequently, the Black Robed Venerable harbored no doubts towards the Emperor.

A formidable convoy breached the swirling mystical fog, making its way towards the vast, immeasurable, and enigmatic expanse of the Deceit Que Heaven and Earth. Mr. Lian, clad in purple robes, maintained a discreet position within the convoy, exhibiting no outward signs of peculiarity.

Buzz buzz buzz— The Heaven and Earth chessboard gradually became obscured, its clarity diminished. Even with the Thunder Chess Piece placed upon Mr. Lian, Li Che's perception through the chessboard grew exceedingly hazy. This might be attributed to the immense distance to the Deceit Que or the thick, shielding mist that enveloped it. Nevertheless, a faint sense could still be discerned.

Li Che refrained from immediate intervention, opting instead to maintain his observation. His strategy was to strike for the flag once the convoy had sufficiently distanced itself. He continued to probe with his Martial Immortal Will.

Meanwhile, having completed the tidying of the courtyard and shared a warm cup of tea with Zhang Ya, they jointly ascended Taibai Peak. Xi Xi’s Three Flowers ignited, accompanied by a startling thunderclap that reverberated through the heavens and earth. On the cusp of impacting the Martial Saint level, Li Che sensed the unfolding events.

"Just as I surmised, little girl Xi Xi still harbors an intense longing for a glorious return, and now, back within the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, this desire finds release, instantaneously loosening the bottleneck to Martial Saint," Li Che remarked with a smile. As a Martial Immortal, his profound comprehension of the Martial Path allowed him to readily interpret Xi Xi’s current state.

Over the preceding year, Xi Xi had been nourished with innumerable body-refining treasures by her boss. Coupled with cultivation dreams inspired by immortal Dao and beneficial feedback from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, the girl's physical foundation had become remarkably robust, rivaling even Li Che's own.

Crack crack— The immense celestial dome was choked with heavy, leaden clouds, within which lightning serpents writhed and coiled. The crisp autumn air, punctuated by sudden thunder, carried a hint of coolness. Taibai Peak found itself seemingly ensnared by the Heaven and Earth Will, a terrifying energy enveloping the entire mountain. Before the expansive Taibai Hall, a scorching heat erupted, akin to blazing flames, washing over the mountain in waves.

Lv Taibai, situated within Taibai Hall, observed with a flicker of astonishment and contemplation in his eyes. "Eight years old... at merely eight years old, she endeavors to break through to become a Martial Saint! This young girl's developmental trajectory is astonishingly rapid? Is she indeed the Daughter of Prison Lotus? Truly worthy of becoming the head of the Prison Lotus Camp and the future commander of all deities!"

It is important to note that Xi Xi is not a reincarnated Temple God; she has achieved this milestone through her innate talent, reaching the threshold of impacting Martial Saint at the tender age of eight, a feat practically unheard of. Not only Lv Taibai but also Grandmaster Lv Qiankun was stirred to alarm, emerging from the Qiankun Small Cave Heaven to witness Xi Xi's impending breakthrough. Numerous Elders of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, including Zhao Fangzhou, Feng Zhiqi, and Ding Zi, were equally astounded. They were aware that Xi Xi's return was prompted by the Sect Master's intention to cede the position of Sect Master to her upon his own breakthrough to Divine Tribulation. However, none could have anticipated that Xi Xi's cultivation was on the verge of reaching Martial Saint!

An eight-year-old Martial Saint—it was utterly astonishing! Li Che, accompanied by Zhang Ya, arrived at Taibai Peak, observing from a distance as Xi Xi sat cross-legged upon the vast expanse of the plain.

Seated upon the ground, Xi Xi found herself beneath a magnificent scarlet maple, its leaves shimmering like a sun-kissed lake. Above her head, upon her shoulders, three resplendent flowers—Essence, Qi, and Spirit—blossomed forth. These Three Flowers spun with a fiery intensity, appearing as if sculpted from pure gold into a radiant Golden Lotus! A wave of intense heat emanated from Xi Xi's small form as she abruptly opened her eyes, releasing a deep, drawn-out breath. Within her petite body, it was as though a blazing Vast Sun Fiery Sunburst ignited, radiating a scorching warmth and brilliant light capable of banishing all malevolent spirits! *Crack, crack—* Xi Xi tilted her head upwards, emitting a drawn-out cry as she stretched her arms wide. A snap echoed through her tendons and bones! *Buzz—Bang!!!* A resounding explosion followed, unleashing a grand surge of Qi-Blood. This surge, tinged with red and interwoven with specks of golden light, erupted outwards, engulfing Xi Xi! Xi Xi's eyes blazed with intensity, like twin golden beams piercing the very heavens! With a sudden leap, the young girl landed on the expansive plain. A formidable Martial Dao Will surged forth, and before all watching eyes, with newfound comprehension, she commenced her martial arts practice. Her five fingers curled into fists, her bones grinding together. A punch was thrown to the side, a leg swept out like a whip. Her movements, neither hurried nor sluggish, gradually infused the essence of the Martial Dao Will into her being.
