"So, our Earth Village and Prison Lotus... have a connection."

"This is also the origin of Earth Village, the name Earth is derived from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, specifically from the Earth of the unique Prison Lotus Land."

Tuoba Long revealed a monumental secret.

Upon hearing this, Li Che suddenly understood.

So it turns out, Earth Village is related to Prison Lotus Land, which explains why Earth Village is protecting Xi Xi.

As the two casually chatted, they walked unknowingly and arrived at the Teleportation Platform.

They displayed enough Divine Treasure Orders, and the Teleportation Platform was instantly activated, transforming them into streaming light to cross the Bitter Sea, arriving at the Eighth Island.

Since there were only the two of them on the Eighth Island, they faced no disputes and continued relying on the Teleportation Platform to transport.

The Ninth Island is the core area of the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven.

It’s also the place where in this Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle, Divine Treasure Orders can be exchanged for resources!

Nobody expected that in this Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle, only two people would reach Spirit Mountain.

Buddha Light illuminated, and Spirit Mountain towered a million feet.

When Li Che and Tuoba Long appeared at the foot of the mountain, Li Che’s brows slightly furrowed.

He gazed intently and saw a monk, shrouded in a hazy Buddha Light.

He sat at the foot of the mountain on a White Jade Staircase, his Big Red Kasaya flowing, his bald head gleaming with scars.

Tuoba Long’s complexion slightly changed.

"Why is there someone here?!"

"And this aura... Is this a Deity from Black Sumeru personally blocking us? They’re completely disregarding the rules?!"

Tuoba Long instantly realized something.

Li Che’s expression remained unchanged, his gaze indifferent.

He was long accustomed to the actions of the Three Great Gods Camps; to them, strength was the rule.

"Amitabha Buddha..."

"Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven, Blood Qi surges, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood... As the overseer of the Cave Heaven, this humble monk sensed such sinful changes; upon sensing, I understood it was due to you two benefactors’ mass killing..."

"Especially the godly power shown by the Yunxiao Village representative, surpassing the Merging Realm... this humble monk suspects you are hiding your Cultivation Realm."

"Therefore, the Buddha arranged for this humble monk to guard this place; if you two wish to ascend Spirit Mountain and exchange Divine Treasure Orders..."

"You must first pass this humble monk’s test."

"Above Spirit Mountain, the will of Black Sumeru Buddha will watch, representing the true unchanging rule."

The monk spoke smoothly.

"Bah! You call it unchanging, but you change as you please, lacking any credibility!"

Tuoba Long, with a temper, immediately lashed out without holding back against these bald monks.

Li Che also laughed: "You want to witness killing, yet don’t want to see this sort of slaughter..."

"You only wish to see the Daughter of Prison Lotus driven mad by you, descending, accepting the curse, becoming the executioner of Heaven and Earth’s will, committing slaughter, creating a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, rivers of blood flowing. That’s the killing you want to see, right?"

As Li Che spoke, his aura gradually grew cold and still, and his eyes burst forth with immense killing intent.

"That is the fate of the Daughter of Prison Lotus; we gods merely pressure out her potential... She fulfills her destiny, she can transcend, reincarnate, restart the Divine Tide, and end the Divine Tide..."

"Fate is immutable. To alter it is to defy the heavens; you will be executed."

The monk slowly stood up.

He instantly emitted an endless Golden Light.

Overwhelming Buddha Nature and Divinity radiated from him like the splendor of a Vast Sun, scattering in all directions, each ray transforming into an especially sharp Divine Spear, containing immensely domineering power.

On his physical body, a Path Cutting Pattern emerged!

"Path-Cutting Divine Spirit, One Slash Vajra!"

Tuoba Long, with insight, instantly looked extremely grim!

These bald ones from Black Sumeru have shamelessly exposed themselves!

In the Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle, Path-Cutting Realm gods are not allowed to interfere.

Yet now, Black Sumeru has placed a Slaying Dao Vajra at the foot of Spirit Mountain!

The double standards are too blatant!

It’s simply denying them the opportunity to exchange a large amount of Divine Treasure Orders!

Even because with so many Divine Treasure Orders exchanged, even Black Sumeru would suffer greatly!

But, it comes down to this sentence.

If you can’t host the Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle, don’t host it!

Wanting to gain benefits without wanting to share genuine profits!

Tuoba Long looked extremely displeased; facing Path Cutting, even against One Slash Realm gods, he couldn’t contend.

This is simply not giving them a chance!

"Brother Long, you should retreat to the edge of the Ninth Island, I’ll test the Path-Cutting combat power of this Black Sumeru monk."

Li Che said solemnly.

Tuoba Long was instantly dumbfounded.

Engaging Path Cutting?

Even against One Slash Divine, the power far surpasses Merging Realm!

However, Tuoba Long didn’t hesitate, immediately retreating to the edge, knowing he couldn’t fight Path Cutting.

However, Li Che, having faced six merging realms single-handedly, easily crushed and killed them, perhaps...

There’s a chance?

And this obstacle to ascending Spirit Mountain...

Is actually specially set for Li Che.

The sensing of Immortal Will indicated that transcending the Merging Realm referred to none other than Li Che!

Whoosh——

Buddha Nature and Divinity surged like tides, clanging sounds echoed, as the monk stood, countless Buddha Lights gathered upon his form.

His physical body suddenly erupted with incomparably radiant Golden Light!

He clenched his Five Fingers, tearing the void, a massive Dragon Spear fell, crafted from True Dragon Spine and Dragon Bone into a Divine Weapon!
