Chapter 252: Dao Fruit Level 4 - The Immortal in the Painting, White Jade Capital (Part 1)
Chapter 252: Dao Fruit Level 4 - The Immortal in the Painting, White Jade Capital (Part 1)
Swish, swish!
Snowflakes drifted down, landing on the rooftop, creating a soft rustling sound as the wind blew, all in quietude.
Inside the study.
Li Cheng's eyes opened and closed, filled with a deep ink color, swirling like a vortex in his pupils!
His thoughts stirred slightly, accompanied by the sound of his heart beating in his chest like a war drum, resounding endlessly!
"Celestial Artist Fruit... Second Evolution!"
A faint smile curved Li Cheng's lips.
Second Evolution Dao Fruit.
Divine Ability, Painter in the Picture · White Jade Capital!
White Jade Capital?
The White Jade Capital in the heavens, with twelve towers and five cities?!
Is this it?
But what is the use of this divine ability?
With just a name, Li Cheng felt completely clueless. Now, he understood that the effects of divine abilities might be more diverse than those of divine ability prototypes, but they might not be as practical as the prototypes.
It also required his own development and research.
Inhale, exhale.
The breath was long, like a dragon's.
Li Cheng's gaze focused, and the prompt in front of him instantly transformed into ink.
【White Jade Capital (Divine Ability): There are immortals in the painting, the White Jade Capital in ink, where the ranks of immortals are listed, and legends fly to immortality.】
【First Heaven: Ink City】
【Ink Wash City, separated from the heavens and earth, cut off from mortals】
【Second Heaven: ???】
...
A new divine ability!
Li Cheng's eyes flickered, and the number of divine abilities he had obtained was not small; this wasn't the first time he had obtained a divine ability from a Dao Fruit transformation.
Star Snatcher, Dawn Ascent, Divine Pull, Infinite, and now White Jade Capital.
Moreover, the Star Snatcher and Dawn Ascent divine abilities had even reached the Second Heaven! Overall, there had been an extraordinary improvement.
However, Li Cheng had a feeling that this newly acquired divine ability seemed somewhat different from the others.
"First Heaven divine ability... Ink City."
"Ink Wash City, separated from the heavens and earth, cut off from mortals?"
Li Cheng murmured the description of the divine ability, his heart stirring slightly.
Closing his eyes, the Dao Fruit trembled, and his divine perception flowed, as if slowly conveying the information he wanted to know, bit by bit.
After a long time, Li Cheng slowly opened his eyes.
"So that's how it is."
"A divine ability similar to a domain, capable of isolating senses and investigation, and even more powerful than the Heavenly Chessboard effect of the Chess Sage Dao Fruit."
"Ink City can pull people into it, like entering a unique immortal realm."
"Most importantly..."
"Within Ink City, divine energy is isolated!"
Li Cheng's black hair fluttered, and his eyes suddenly lit up like two dazzling lights.
Divine energy cultivators pulled into Ink City could only use their inherent divine energy. Once their divine energy was exhausted, they couldn't replenish it by absorbing divine energy from the heavens and earth.
They might be able to rely on divine energy crystals, but the efficiency of absorbing divine energy from crystals was not high, suitable for cultivation. In battle, using divine energy crystals...
That would be seeking death.
"If a Divine Embryo Realm cultivator is covered by my Ink City..."
"As long as I can exhaust their divine energy, I can use martial arts... to have a fair and just battle with them!"
Li Cheng's eyes sparkled.
Of course, the most important thing was...
Being able to cover the enemy and bring them into the unique Ink City, combined with the Painter in the Picture Dao Fruit, would make killing less noticeable, and the disturbance caused would not be as great as before.
Previously, in order to kill You Liqing, various means had to be used. First, a thick fog was created to block vision and divine perception. Only then could the Heavenly Chessboard be used to cover and isolate.
And the disturbance caused by killing You Liqing was also enormous.
But now, if Li Cheng were to make a move, the disturbance would not be significant.
He raised his hand and clenched his five fingers.
"Divine Ability, Ink City."
A loud sound!
The surroundings seemed to be filled with thick ink, like a long dragon swirling and rising, as if thick ink had been poured into a water tank, spreading and forming a dragon shape, constantly winding and surging.
Gradually, the ink-like dragon shape dissipated in front of him.
Li Cheng found himself surrounded by an extremely thick ink wall, billowing like black mist.
Looking down, he saw a green stone under his feet.
It was a very ordinary green stone in the ancient city. Li Cheng's ink-colored robe fluttered as he slowly squatted down, spreading his five fingers and pressing them onto the green brick beneath his feet.
Instantly, invisible ink waves slowly expanded in all four directions, like a giant wave rising and spreading, followed by an explosion of thick ink.
It transformed into city walls, a city, tall buildings with flying eaves, and a city avenue with crisscrossing paths!
The entire city was covered in a faint ink color!
It was quiet and peaceful, completely isolated from the outside world and separated from the heavens and earth.
Li Cheng stood up, his black hair flying, and scanned the entire Ink City. The city was dead silent, like a dead city, devoid of any life force, and a faint ink scent lingered in the air.
Walking slowly in Ink City, he traversed the entire city, memorizing every location in his heart.
Once an opponent entered Ink City, they would be unable to escape his perception, as the entire city was under his control. He was like a god, able to see everything within the city.
Moreover, the investigation was even clearer and more convenient than that of the Heavenly Chessboard.
However, it was limited to opponents within Ink City.
There were still limitations, but if used well, it would indeed be more convenient for the Netherworld's actions.
"However, if the opponent's strength is too strong, they might be able to forcibly break through the city and leave."
Li Cheng frowned.
But soon, his brows relaxed.
"Ink City... it seems the Netherworld has its base."
Snapping his fingers, the thick ink exploded like mist.
Li Cheng's figure returned to reality, sitting in the chair in the study, and everything around him was quiet.
Another Dao Fruit was obtained, and its maturity level increased to level 4, awakening a divine ability.
Li Cheng couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
His eyes shone, and a light screen appeared.
...
【Name: Li Cheng】
【Bonds: Li Nuanxi (Daughter)】
【Dao Fruit: Immortal Craft (lv5, 2%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv5, 8%), Impureless Heart (LV4, 86%), Chess Sage (LV4, 76%), Painter in the Picture (lv4, 0%), Thunder Magnetic Body (lv2, 1%)】
【Divine Ability Prototype: Immortal Craft · Thousand Analyzing Hands, Dragon Elephant Vajra · Ascending the Tower, Impureless Heart · Capture Spirit, Chess Sage · Great Avalanche, Painter in the Picture · Ink Kill】
【Divine Ability: Star Snatcher, Dawn Ascent, Divine Pull, Infinite, White Jade Capital】
【Prompt: For each year of safe growth of the bonded person, a Dao Fruit can be formed on the Dao Tree】
...
Looking at the maturity level of the Dao Fruits, their growth varied.
The Impureless Heart and Chess Sage Dao Fruits were close to level 5, but now their growth had become increasingly slow.
As for the Thunder Magnetic Body, it was currently only at Level 2. Li Che had also found a path to increase the maturity of his Dao Fruit.
By drawing all eight of the Six Courts Thunder Talismans recorded in the Divine Talisman Sect’s divine talisman book, the thunder baptism required for the Thunder Magnetic Body would no longer be a concern.
"Of course, in addition to that, I still need to gather the spring thunder, summer thunder, and autumn thunder baptisms."
"And there’s also that Five Elders Rank divine talisman…"
Li Che pondered.
Thinking about it this way, the path to enhancing the Thunder Magnetic Body was quite diverse.
As Li Che was deep in thought.
In the study.
A powerful aura suddenly burst forth.
A vast and pure surge of Death Qi and Corpse Qi erupted, as if refined and purified.
His mind stirred, and the Heavenly Chessboard spread out, enveloping the entire study.
As the Death Qi and Corpse Qi struck it, dust immediately exploded.
You Liqing’s Binding God Chess Piece seemed to emit a low growl.
Gradually, a powerful aura erupted from his body.
Then, countless Death Qi and Corpse Qi converged, gathering into You Liqing’s Binding God Chess Piece.
Li Che knew that You Liqing’s Binding God Chess Piece had completed the refinement of the Corpse God Seal.
The efficiency was quite high, also owing to You Liqing’s endurance of the pain.
With a glance, in the corner of the study, a tall figure clad in golden armor, emitting a strong Death Qi and Corpse Qi, slowly stood up.
"Lord, I have completed the refinement."
You Liqing saluted.
Li Che stood up and focused his gaze on You Liqing’s Binding God Chess Piece. He could sense that within the mud pill of the Binding God Chess Piece, the Corpse God Seal was swirling.
"Very good."
Li Che praised.
Spreading his fingers, You Liqing’s Binding God Chess Piece instantly transformed into a pitch-black chess piece, held in his palm.
"Perceive carefully. If you detect the aura of a Corpse Curse Seal, inform me immediately," Li Che said.
In the next moment, the Binding God Chess Piece fell back onto the Heavenly Chessboard.
Li Che was well aware that finding the hidden member of the Corpse Deity Sect within the Divine Sect through such means would not be easy.
The Heavenly Origin Sect was not so easily infiltrated by the Corpse Deity Sect, and the only infiltrator would be deeply hidden.
Additionally…
Li Che could not recklessly stimulate the Corpse God Seal, as that would likely draw the attention of the Sect Leader Great Deity of the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Heavenly Earth plaque at the mountain gate, which contained Dao Yun.
Actively searching was difficult, but if he encountered the hidden member of the Corpse Deity Sect, the Corpse God Seal would certainly react, allowing him to find them.
Stretching, Li Che ended today’s carving.
He left the study, and the snow fell softly, bringing a chill.
Snowflakes piled up on the black-tiled eaves and pattered down.
Li Che walked through the corridor, returned to his room, and the boiling water flowed through the metal pipes, maintaining the room at a comfortable temperature.
Zhang Ya and Xi Xi were sound asleep.
Li Che glanced at his deeply sleeping wife and daughter, a gentle smile curving his lips.
He had grown stronger, and his ability to protect his family had increased.
Gently lying down, he listened to the snowflakes rustling outside.
The family embraced each other in sleep.
……
……
In the Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Inner city.
Fragrant Lane, a small courtyard.
This was the courtyard where the Li family had previously lived. After moving into the Heavenly Origin Sect’s mountain gate, the courtyard was temporarily left vacant.
However, Li Qingshan did not move into the mountain gate with the Li family, so he temporarily stayed in this courtyard.
His green robe fluttered in the misty snow, and Li Qingshan, in the vast, empty courtyard, gripped the ram’s horn hammer, releasing Thunder Divine Energy, and practicing martial arts!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
As the ram’s horn hammer danced, the air currents in the courtyard gradually intensified. A divine aura flickered and leaped, like a blood-colored lightning, coursing through his arms.
Fiery blood and qi rose, melting the snow, turning it into rain, which splashed and filled the courtyard.
In the misty fog, electric currents intertwined.
Li Qingshan’s hunched back straightened, his eyes like lightning, black hair flying, and his aura powerful.
Behind him, a Thunder Devouring Evil divine incarnation roared, its wings spread wide, and electric currents boomed!
His fingers flickered continuously, and after the divine energy was stimulated, his blood and qi surged, as if a dragon shadow struck the wind and snow.
"One Celestial Dragon!"
After a long while, Li Qingshan retracted his stance, his blood and qi surging and shaking.
"The Eight Dragon Heaven Hammer, a Divine Warrior’s ultimate technique, is indeed much more difficult than the Eight Serpents Rolling River, a Grandmaster’s ultimate technique."
"However, my talent seems to be a bit better than before…"
Li Qingshan stroked his beard and squinted his eyes.
Successfully condensing one Celestial Dragon meant that he had finally entered the gate of this Divine Warrior’s ultimate technique.
Looking at the sky, Li Qingshan’s eyes flickered.
"Having immersed myself for so long, the time since the Netherworld last attacked and killed You Liqing has truly passed."
Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, his green robe fluttering in the wind.
He couldn’t help but recall the day in the courtyard when the Netherworld’s Thunder Dragon had shown appreciation for him.
He raised his hand, and three black chess pieces floated.
These three chess pieces represented the strength of three Divine Aura Grandmasters…
Now, they were all under the command of his cat-faced leader.
"Now, behind me… stands the Netherworld."
"Suppress evil, slay evil!"
"The evil in this world, to my eyes, is like dust…"
"I should sweep away the dust for this world, restoring a clear sky."
Li Qingshan exhaled a turbid breath.
In the next moment, he changed into a black robe, took out a delicate cat-faced mask from his pocket, and carefully placed it on his face.
Whoosh—
He shot out, shattering the snow, merging into the darkness.
……
……
The darkness was deep, and the white snow fell softly.
The cat-faced black robe billowed, and the entire person moved silently, his blood and qi, as well as his divine energy, completely suppressed.
This was because the cat-faced palm held a Thunder Flying Chess Piece.
This Thunder Flying Chess Piece was given to him by the Netherworld’s senior Thunder Dragon, not only as a means of survival and teleportation but also to help him conceal his blood and qi and suppress his aura.
It was a top-tier concealment technique in the world.
Li Qingshan finally understood that the top-tier concealment technique of the Bull Demon was due to this chess piece.
Passing through the inner city, stepping onto the outer city streets, he concealed his presence and moved through the darkness.
Li Qingshan was overjoyed.
Originally, concealment was Li Qingshan’s greatest weakness, even mocked by Nan Li Huo. Now, this weakness was compensated for.
"The Tiger Whale Gang, one of the three major gangs in the Outer City, is a subordinate gang under the Mystic Whale Gang.
