Chapter 231: Unwavering Resolve, Joining the Netherworld (Part 2)
"This saves me a lot of trouble..."
Li Che smiled.
The breakthrough of Bound Spirit was silent, as if it had occurred in the depths of the Netherworld.
Li Che wasn't concerned about the commotion.
With the Heavenly Dao Chessboard, he could isolate the senses of others, preventing them from perceiving the situation within the courtyard.
"Old Xue, you've made progress."
Li Che turned to Xue Doudfu, who hadn't yet condensed the Primordial True Energy, and sighed.
Xue Doudfu's sturdy physique and white mask couldn't hide the look of grievance in his eyes.
"Master, are you abandoning me?"
"Scram."
"Okay."
Bang!
Xue Doudfu twisted his thick waist, as large as a water barrel, and disappeared into the shadows as a black chess piece.
The Shadow Guard respectfully clenched his fist and merged back into the shadows, his words few.
Li Che smiled. The advancement of his subordinates was undoubtedly beneficial to him.
Especially the improvement of the Shadow Guard...
The Shadow Guard had now reached thirty-six paths of Divine Energy and broken through to the Golden Body Transformation...
He was powerful!
In battle, White Impermanence Xue Doudfu would attract the enemy's attacks, allowing the Shadow Guard to seize the opportunity to strike from the shadows, delivering a fatal blow.
"Divinity pressure requires the invocation of the Divinity between Heaven and Earth to suppress. But with Profound Magnetism, I can alter my field, effectively becoming immune to rank pressure..."
"However, a Grandmaster's martial arts willpower is different. It's a force that affects the spiritual level..."
Profound Magnetism couldn't deflect a Grandmaster's martial arts willpower; it could only be endured.
"Fortunately, I've now mastered five of the Martial Sage's ultimate techniques, all at the Master level. With 'Myriad Dragons Subduing Gods' reaching the pinnacle, forming a martial arts true intent domain, in terms of martial arts willpower, even a Three Flowers Grandmaster would be a worthy opponent."
Possessing the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, Li Che was confident in his exceptional martial arts willpower.
He wasn't in a hurry to reflect on the enlightenment gained from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit's maturation.
Li Che raised his hand, and a Heavenly Dao Jade appeared in his palm.
It was the Heavenly Dao Jade of Su Heian, the Breath Transformation Master, and the Divine Energy Realm driver.
After killing them, Li Che had taken the Jade as a matter of course.
Killing and looting was a routine he had perfected.
After all, Li Che had a family to support!
Each of his temple gods had consumed a Golden Core, and the Pure Heart Dao Fruit was also a Golden Core.
The Blood Yang Nine God Vajra Ape he was currently cultivating was also a Golden Core!
Li Che had endured many hardships in his life, and he wasn't about to let any resources go to waste.
"A Breath Transformation Divine Essence Great Realman, and an Honorary Outer Elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect... His collection should be impressive, right?"
Li Che's eyes shone with anticipation.
With a thought, he directly broke open the opponent's Heavenly Dao Essence.
Even though he had just recently achieved the Breath Transformation, his collection was bound to be extraordinary.
"It's best to have a complete Divine Seed Martial Art. The Blood Crocodile Heaven-Splitting Palm I obtained from Long Tai is an incomplete version, and cultivating it to perfection is already the limit."
Li Che muttered to himself, filled with hope.
Of course, the first thing to catch his eye was the Divine Essence Crystal!
Just a glance caused Li Che's eyes to narrow, and his breathing quickened!
"Five-tier Divine Essence Crystals... ten of them, and fifty six-tier Divine Essence Crystals! This wealth is befitting of a Breath Transformation Divine Essence Great Realman, surpassing even the Demon Child of the Corpse God Sect!"
Li Che's emotions surged, even more intense than when he had killed Su Heian.
The sudden influx of wealth always stirred one's emotions, making it hard to contain one's feelings.
Xi Xi, as his daughter, needed resources for her cultivation in the Divine Sect...
As a father, Li Che naturally had to prepare them for her.
Xi Xi wasn't like those wealthy disciples from prominent families. She didn't have a strong backing, only a hardworking father who tirelessly earned resources for her.
"A five-tier Martial Pill, and I do have ten six-tier Martial Pills... Also, Su Heian's strength lies in his Divine Essence, while his martial skills are average."
Li Che was indeed a little disappointed with the pills.
"Hmm?"
"This is... a Divine Talisman?"
Suddenly, Li Che spotted a sandalwood box. Upon opening it, he found a Divine Talisman drawn on a six-tier Profound Yellow Wood paper with cinnabar ink, exuding a powerful Divine Essence!
He swept his gaze over the talisman.
...
[Divine Talisman (Six Administration Top-Grade): Heavenly Fire Burn Spirit Shatter Heart Talisman]
[Introduction: A Divine Talisman Master's creation, of considerable value. Using dragon blood mixed with cinnabar Divine Essence ink, it is drawn on a six-tier Profound Yellow Wood paper, and upon activation, it releases a Heavenly Fire Burn Spirit Shatter Heart Talisman Divine Essence technique.]
[Requirements: Soul Spirit Golden Body Transformation and above]
...
Li Che's eyes brightened slightly.
A Divine Talisman!
This was his first time obtaining one...
In the Royal Observatory, there were indeed Divine Talisman Masters, but the price of talismans had always remained high, extremely expensive.
In fact, Divine Talismans were a medium for storing Divine Essence techniques, allowing Divine Essence cultivators to release and store their techniques in a different way.
Li Che had previously found them unnecessary due to their high prices...
Cultivating a Divine Talisman Master required a tremendous amount of resources, making the talismans extremely costly.
Divine Talisman Masters were even rarer than Woodcarving Masters.
Li Che happily collected the Six Administration Top-Grade Divine Talisman and continued his inspection.
Suddenly, he came across a book titled "Great Scenic Qingyun Dao Profound Talisman Sect's Divine Talisman Manual."
Hmm?!
Li Che flipped through a few pages, and his eyes lit up!
Profound Talisman Sect!
The Great Scenic Qingyun Dao's Sect!
Li Che began reading, his heart pounding...
The Immortal in the Painting's Dao Fruit started beating wildly with excitement!
Thump, thump, thump, thump—
Just like the Immortal Artisan's Dao Fruit when he obtained the Tang Family's Organ Record, he felt that excitement!
His anticipation and joy were almost palpable.
"I have the Immortal in the Painting's Dao Fruit. This Divine Talisman technique... for me, the threshold and difficulty have been significantly lowered!"
Li Che exhaled, his heart also stirred.
He could even have the Immortal in the Painting's clone, Li Che, research the "Profound Talisman Sect's Divine Talisman Manual" and directly share the experience.
With the Immortal Artisan's Dao Fruit, Li Che's hands-on ability was exceptional. Creating talisman ink and paper wouldn't be a problem!
"If I can become an excellent Divine Talisman Master, resources will flow in abundance!"
Li Che had discovered a new way to make money.
Of course, being a Woodcarving Master was also lucrative, but Li Che didn't mind having another money-making skill.
As a father, making money was a necessity.
"It's a pity there's no Divine Seed Martial Art... To open the Eight Strange Gates, I need eight Divine Seed Martial Arts to achieve the strongest Primordial True Energy..."
"A heavy responsibility, yet a long way to go."
Li Che shook his head, finished inspecting the remaining items, and put away the Heavenly Dao Essence.
As for the cart driver's Heavenly Dao Essence, it was pitifully meager.
Martial artists... were ultimately lacking in wealth.
The inspection of the Breath Transformation Soul Spirit Golden Body Transformation Great Realman's wealth was complete.
Li Che took out a five-tier Martial Pill, swallowed it, and his stomach rumbled like a boulder dropped into a lake!
His stomach walls contracted, crushing the pill's coating, and a torrent of potent medicinal energy surged out!
Li Che leaped from the eaves, his toes barely touching the ground.
The Heavenly Chessboard expanded.
Powerful Qi and blood surged from within!
The feedback from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit erupted!
Li Che clenched his fist, and in an instant, the Profound Gold Eight Treasures Thunder Dragon Staff appeared in his hand...
The staff struck the void, causing an explosion of raging air currents.
Li Che began to comprehend other Martial Saints' ultimate techniques, intending to push them all to the state of transformation!
...
...
Su Clan Elder, an Honorary Outer Elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, and a Breath Transformation Soul Spirit Golden Body Transformation Great Realman, was brutally murdered on the main street of Dao City!
What a shocking and horrifying event!
Who would dare commit such a heinous act?
In Dao City, someone burst out onto the street, where snow and wind raged. They laughed maniacally, tears streaming down their face, and knelt on the ground.
This was a small family head whose talented daughter had been taken by the Su Clan.
After his daughter entered the Su Clan, he never had another chance to see her. He desperately pleaded for a meeting, only to find her aged and disheartened, leaning against the railing, having lost all hope.
For the parents, this was like a bolt from the blue!
But the Su family was powerful, being the first aristocratic family in Primordial Dao City, with a history spanning three millennia. They were deeply rooted in the city, an unyielding force.
Moreover, the family had a Divine Embryo Great Deity residing within, who dared to provoke them? Who dared to rebel? They could only be reduced to a state of suppressed anger.
And now, the Su family had met their retribution!
The name of the Underworld was on everyone's lips, causing a stir.
At the Su family mansion.
The estate was vast, almost like a city within a city.
With a three-thousand-year legacy, the family's prosperity was beyond imagination. Their influence in Primordial Dao City was deeply entrenched, making them a true behemoth.
Rumors circulated that the Su family held significant power within the city lord's mansion, and the Divine Embryo Great Deity city lord, sent by the Divine Capital to the Great Scenic Qingyun Dao, had even married a Su family daughter!
In the grand hall.
The atmosphere was somber.
Su Heian's headless body lay in a coffin made of spirit wood.
The hall was draped in white silk, and several Su family descendants, who were supposed to distribute wedding invitations, now wore mourning attire.
Su Chuyang had also been summoned back from the Divine Sect, and at this moment, he was completely dazed.
After all, Su Heian had just given him a scolding, only to die shortly after.
Su Chuyang even felt a sense of relief, wondering if he would have been crushed like an ant if he had accompanied Su Heian in his carriage yesterday...
Su He Lin, the Su family's elder, had an extremely gloomy expression.
The head of the Su family sat in the main seat, his face equally somber, feeling immense pain.
After all, even with the Su family's resources, cultivating a Breath Transformation Great True Person was extremely challenging, despite their talent in absorbing genius women and the Divine Clarity True Monkey's Divine Image technique.
"The Underworld..."
"Daring to hunt down our Su family elder, a Breath Transformation Great True Person..."
"Even if it means becoming enemies with our Su family, the Underworld has entered the Dao City, becoming enemies with the Corpse God Sect, You Li Qing, and now daring to oppose our Su family..."
"Are they trying to make the entire city their enemy?!"
Su Wenxi, the head of the Su family, spoke with a cold tone.
"Heian died from the Ten Thousand Dragon Subduing God, could this be the doing of Ji Mali behind the scenes?"
Su He Lin clenched his teeth.
Su Wenxi, the head of the Su family, shook his head, "Unlikely, the Ten Thousand Dragon Subduing God is Ji Mali's ultimate martial arts, but it's not his strongest. Moreover, with Ji Mali's grand ambitions, why would he disguise himself as the lowly Underworld?"
"Head of the family, I wish to seek the help of our ancestor! To personally capture the Underworld's culprits and offer a sacrifice to my brother's restless soul!"
Su He Lin clenched his fists, tears welling up in his eyes, despite being a few hundred years old.
The sudden death of his brother after two hundred years together was a devastating blow, how could he not feel enraged?
"Our ancestor is in seclusion at a critical moment... Preparing for the upcoming attack on Qitian City, aiming for a breakthrough before the assault. It's not appropriate to disturb him for such a minor matter."
However, Su Wenxi, the head of the Su family, refused.
"Go and ask the Five Elders Divine Seal Master in our clan to draw the Five Elders Divine Seal 'Calm the Storms'. Then, contact the God Hunter Pavilion and request a Three Flowers Rakshasa and five Primordial True Pole White-Faced Assassins."
"This lineup will be sufficient."
"As long as the Underworld's culprits dare to show themselves..."
"They will have nowhere to hide!"
"Slaughter the ox, butcher the horse, behead the monkey... Slay the dragon!"
...
...
At the Thunder Lane.
In a secluded workshop courtyard.
Snowflakes fell silently.
The world was silent, devoid of sound!
Suddenly, the snowflakes melted into water, and the air around Li Che seemed to explode with heat, forming a vortex of energy and rain.
Li Che stood with closed eyes, his black hair dancing wildly, as if he were the center of a raging storm.
His body radiated heat, and every inch of his skin seemed to glow like red-hot iron.
The snowflakes, now turned to water, swirled around him, and the Five Primordial True Pole energies intertwined, creating a deafening roar.
After consuming a Fifth-Rank Spirit Wood and five days of intense cultivation, Li Che had finally digested the insights gained from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit.
His five fingers clenched, and his blood, muscles, skin, and bones seemed to roar.
His internal organs felt like they were howling.
It was as if his body was being refined by a blazing furnace.
Every pore seemed to conceal a blazing sun, emitting countless rays of light.
Suddenly, the swirling energies and rain exploded, forming a semi-transparent dragon-elephant figure above the courtyard, with the dragon's tail lashing and the elephant trumpeting.
The entire courtyard seemed to shake as if an earthquake had struck.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit had reached its ultimate form.
Li Che's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
Instantly, the water erupted, and the wind and rain howled like pillars.
Li Che stood amidst it all, his eyes shooting out electric sparks.
Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit resonated like an ancient temple bell.
The bell's vibrations merged with the divine light emanating from his eyes.
