Chapter 139: Daughter's Fourth Birthday and the Painter of Immortals (Part 1)
Chapter 139: Daughter's Fourth Birthday and the Painter of Immortals (Part 1)
The cold air floating in the sky condensed the moisture, forming snowflakes that drifted and fell.
Golden Light City.
Falling Petals Lane, a small workshop courtyard.
Li Che sat cross-legged in the courtyard, his face lifted towards the sky, allowing the snowflakes to land on his cheeks.
The scorching Qi and blood coursed rapidly beneath his skin, emitting heat that instantly melted the snowflakes into water.
"My little Xixi is four years old now."
Four years old...
Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, she was still an infant, a tiny little girl, and now she's four, growing into a lively and energetic young lady.
Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile couldn't help but curl up on his lips.
Watching his daughter grow up safely and gradually mature, as an old father, he felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Because Xixi was born on a day of heavy snowfall, whenever snowflakes fell, it meant that her birthday was approaching.
Today was Xixi's fourth birthday.
On Xixi's fourth birthday, it also meant that the fifth Dao Fruit should have appeared.
He wasn't in a hurry and closed his eyes slightly, waiting quietly.
At the same time, he summarized his cultivation progress so far.
Within the Niwan Inner Vision, eight Divine Foundation discs hovered, each glowing with brilliance, and the powerful divine nature swept and thundered like a storm, constantly emerging.
The Seven Emotions Divine Nature had all been forged into Divine Foundations, seven Divine Foundations...
The difficulty was not small, and the repulsion between them was extremely terrifying. If it weren't for his Pure Heart Divine Nature also being forged into a Divine Foundation, acting as a barrier to isolate them from each other, perhaps the collision and conflict of the divine natures of the seven Divine Foundations would be enough to make Li Che dizzy and unable to control them.
Once the Pure Heart Divine Nature was removed, the Seven Emotions Divine Nature mixed together, just like seven different colored yarns tangled together, making it impossible to untangle.
In other words, his current cultivation in divine nature, according to the highest Divine Foundation level, was at the Middle Divine Foundation stage.
He cultivated the Six Ministries level Divine Foundation of the 'Suspensive Thought Fearless Golden Emperor'.
Based on the 'Suspensive Thought Flowing Sword' Divine Foundation he originally cultivated from the Flying Thunder Xu family, this was an overlapping Divine Foundation of the same nature.
This was also Li Che's main Divine Foundation cultivation, striving to cultivate it to perfection and reach the level of Divine Appearance.
Every six months, he could enter the Golden Temple and observe the Heavenly King statue, which was the best opportunity to cultivate the Golden Heavenly King Divine Appearance.
"
"My talent in the path of divine nature is indeed average. Although I have many divine nature crystals to aid my cultivation, the speed of breaking through in divine nature is still a bit slow."
Li Che shook his head slightly, feeling a bit resigned.
'Lion Elephant Vajra' enhanced his talent in the horizontal cultivation of martial arts, making him a martial arts genius and an unparalleled figure in horizontal cultivation.
Now, martial arts did not disappoint this Dao Fruit, as he had stepped into the Furnace Master realm.
He also mastered three True Intent ultimate skills. The first was the self-created Lion Elephant True Force, which could integrate the True Intents of other ultimate skills.
The second was the superior skill 'Eight Serpents Swirling River' passed down by Li Qingshan, the Golden Light Subsect of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
The third was the inferior skill 'Azure Thunder Body' obtained from the Openg Clan.
Upon reaching the Grandmaster realm, in addition to tempering one's physique, one must also temper the five viscera and six bowels. Infusing True Intent into the five viscera and six bowels makes them incredibly resilient. Cultivating both externally and internally, without any flaws or leaks, one can then challenge the Great Grandmaster realm!
True Intents can only be born from ultimate skills. Therefore, most Grandmasters focus on cultivating one ultimate skill.
The levels are Entry, Minor Success, Major Success, Master, and Transformation. When one ultimate skill reaches the Master level, True Intent can be born. Upon reaching the Transformation level, True Intent can transform into True Form.
Combining martial arts True Intent with Divine Appearance power is extremely formidable! This is the realm of many Divine Appearance old ancestors in Golden Light City.
They have immersed themselves in martial arts for a long time, slowly polishing a True Intent ultimate skill to the Transformation level through time.
But that's all. To break through to the Great Grandmaster realm, reaching the True Form level in one ultimate skill is far from enough.
Martial arts True Form is just a basic requirement for becoming a Great Grandmaster.
"The path of martial arts is long and arduous..." Li Che exhaled.
He was only at the initial stage of the Grandmaster realm, just beginning to temper his five viscera and six bowels. To advance to the Great Grandmaster realm, it would probably take a few more years...
As for ultimate skill cultivation, Li Che wasn't worried. With his exceptional talent, he could slowly cultivate and eventually reach the True Form level.
He wondered what kind of power would emerge from the fusion of Lion Elephant True Force with various True Forms.
Li Che couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and curiosity.
For this self-created ultimate skill derived from the 'Lion Elephant Vajra' Dao Fruit, Li Che had high hopes.
His mind moved.
A radiant light appeared before his eyes.
...
[Name: Li Che]
[Bond: Li Nuoxi (Daughter)]
[Dao Fruits: Divine Craftsmanship (lv3, 88%), Lion Elephant Vajra (lv3, 55%), Pure Heart (LV3, 15%), Sage of Chess (LV3, 10%)]
[Divine Skill Prototype: Divine Craftsmanship - Thousand Analysis Hands, Lion Elephant Vajra - Climbing the Tower, Pure Heart - Restraining the Divine]
[Tip: For every year of safe growth of the bonded person, a Dao Fruit can be formed on the Dao Tree]
...
The long-lost panel appeared before his eyes.
With calm and steady cultivation, his overall progress was not small. The maturity of the 'Divine Craftsmanship' Dao Fruit had already reached 88% of lv3, very close to lv4.
In the past few days, he had crafted five 'Dragon Tooth Bodhi' bullets and engraved them with flow patterns that could accelerate the gathering of divine power.
This made the bullets' penetration and explosive power, carrying divine nature, even more powerful! However, this was all, and it was difficult to improve the maturity of Divine Craftsmanship.
Crafting ordinary divine nature wood carvings was also difficult to improve Divine Craftsmanship proficiency, unless he entered an enigmatic temple, captured the temple deity's divine nature, and infused it into the wood carvings. Only then could the crafted wood carvings accelerate the improvement of Divine Craftsmanship.
Li Che planned to finish his tasks in the coming days and then work on improving the 'Divine Craftsmanship' Dao Fruit to the lv4 level.
In fact, Li Che quite enjoyed this peaceful life.
All he needed to do every day was cultivate, carve, and nurture his divine nature, which was extremely comfortable.
It was tranquil and beautiful.
Unfortunately, the world was never a stable and peaceful place.
Even in Golden Light City, there were constant undercurrents and turmoil.
Factions fought openly, the Five Great Sects secretly competed, and noble families vied for interests, leading to constant friction.
The Temple Administration focused all its attention on the three enigmatic temples outside the city, each brimming with impending terror.
The City Lord's Manor, the Temple Administration, and the Heavenly Divination Bureau were not in complete harmony, seemingly eyeing the Divine Sect with suspicion.
Within the Divine Sect, there were also corrupt individuals from the Corpse Deity Sect.
The Corpse Deity Sect had infiltrated the various powers of Golden Light City, like a venomous snake with its jaws wide open, ready to swallow the entire city.
The world... had never truly known peace.
Only by becoming strong enough to establish stability could one truly achieve a worry-free life, watching the world from above and enjoying life to the fullest.
Li Che opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.
The prolonged silence was the calm before the storm.
As the Enigmatic Temple of the Eight-Armed Wrathful Third Prince trembled and the Deceptive Shrine expanded, the arrival of the Heavenly Origin Orthodoxy's experts to open the temple and conduct the Temple Deity Resonance test seemed imminent...
The storm, it seemed, would no longer be contained.
During the sect entrance assessment, Li Qingshan had mentioned that the Temple Deity Resonance test would likely take place about a year after the assessment. Therefore, after Xi Xi's birthday, the Temple Deity Resonance test would probably commence.
"The Temple Deity Resonance test... Li Qingshan said that this time, it's a big deal, unlike before. In the past, during the Temple Deity Resonance, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's orthodoxy would bring along top-notch spirit children gathered from the four prefectures and the state city of Yunzhou."
"But this time, it seems that not only Yunzhou, but also the ten sub-sects under the jurisdiction of the Lingnan Dao City, and even the Dao City itself, will send powerful cultivators, along with spirit children, for the test..."
"All for the inheritance of the Eight-Armed Wrathful Third Prince!"
Li Che's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
The Enigmatic Temple of the Eight-Armed Wrathful Third Prince, located outside Golden Light City, was of an exceptionally high rank, even among the Four Sacred Anomaly Temples.
Therefore, when the Deceptive Shrine trembled and the Third Prince's inheritance emerged, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of all parties.
Since the original form of the Third Prince's Temple Deity was a child, the Temple Deity Resonance would naturally be of great importance to all.
This Temple Deity Resonance had captured the attention of the entire Lingnan Dao.
The Corpse Deity Sect had laid its groundwork in Golden Light City early on, all because of the reputation of the Enigmatic Temple of the Eight-Armed Wrathful Third Prince.
As Li Che pondered and organized his thoughts, refining his cultivation...
Buzz—
Li Che felt as if the world had suddenly become incredibly quiet.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within his chest, a violent tremor emanated, indicating an anomaly within his four Dao Fruits!
The Dao Fruits—Immortal Craftsmanship, Dragon Elephant Vajra, Pure Heart, and Sage of Chess—all throbbed intensely.
It was as if they were eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new companion.
Before his eyes, familiar scenes flashed by, like reflections on the surface of a pond, slowly coming into focus.
Roar—
The earth was vast and deep, as if an ancient deity were roaring in anger. Amidst the boundless heavens and earth, a towering treasure tree soared into the clouds!
Countless leaves quivered, emitting countless rays of light. A seven-colored fruit, accompanied by a seven-colored glow, hung from the tree's branches.
Xi Xi's growth over the past year was projected, like a fleeting glimpse, onto the vast heavens and earth.
Li Che's hair was jet-black, and his gaze was far-reaching.
His eyes sparkled with a crystalline brilliance, filled with curiosity and anticipation.
Xi Xi's birthday was also the day Li Che would open his blind box of Dao Fruits...
He eagerly anticipated this moment.
After a year of safeguarding, he had finally reaped the rewards today.
Xi Xi, at four years old, had obtained her fifth Dao Fruit!
Finally!
...
"Your daughter, at four years old, has faced some setbacks, but with resilience and perseverance, she has safely obtained the Dao Fruit 'Painter of Immortals'."
...
The prompt converged into a dazzling golden light, brighter than anything he had ever seen.
The fifth Dao Fruit!
Li Che knew that as long as his daughter remained safe, his future... would bring him even more Dao Fruits.
However, he couldn't be certain about the specific attributes of these Dao Fruits, leaving him in a state of uncertainty.
It was like opening a blind box, full of excitement.
Just as he had been perplexed when he first saw the 'Sage of Chess' Dao Fruit, he now felt the same way upon seeing the name of the fifth Dao Fruit.
Painter of Immortals?
Was he supposed to become a brush-wielding poet?
His eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He seemed to have discerned some unique implications of this Dao Fruit.
"Occupation?"
"Are these Dao Fruits guiding me towards a path of occupational deification?"
Li Che smiled with interest.
Of course, it wasn't necessarily the case, as the Pure Heart Dao Fruit didn't fall into the category of occupational Dao Fruits. Therefore, one shouldn't generalize, and there was still an element of probability involved.
The panel had presented him with an opportunity, allowing him to form a bond with his daughter. For every year she lived safely, he would obtain a Dao Fruit.
This Dao Fruit was still in its infancy and lacked maturity, requiring him to gradually accumulate its maturity.
The origins of this opportunity were profound.
As his cultivation grew, so did his understanding of the world.
He had witnessed the Temple Deity, and the overlapping myths of two lifetimes, causing his heart to tremble. He couldn't help but wonder...
Were the Dao Fruits he obtained connected to his daughter's unique identity?
Could Xi Xi be the reincarnation of some powerful being?
Li Che closed his eyes, his heart trembling. This thought, once born, was impossible to suppress, as if a cold sensation had instantly enveloped his entire body.
He dared not delve deeper into these thoughts.
Slowly, he opened his eyes.
"Even if she's the reincarnation of a powerful being... so what?"
"The Dao Fruits are within me, and I, Li Che, am Xi Xi's father!"
"No matter what schemes or conspiracies lurk in the shadows, I only wish for my daughter's safety."
Li Che's gaze gradually calmed, and the coldness within him dissipated. In his chest, it was as if a furnace was ablaze, radiating heat.
