Chapter 290: Twenty-Five Years in This Life, Clarifying One's True Self, and the Cat-Faced Figure's Imminent Appearance (Part 1)
The Lightning Magnetic Body and the Dao Fruit undergo another transformation!
Level 3!
A nascent divine ability takes shape—Lightning Magnetic Body: Divine Xiaoshao!
Boom!
Countless arcs of lightning seemed to surge within the courtyard, like coiling dragons and snakes, roaring ferociously. It was as if a vast pool of lightning had fallen from the heavens to the mortal realm.
The Lightning Magnetic Body, a Dao Fruit, had been acquired some months ago.
It had absorbed the winter and spring thunder, and had even used numerous thunder talismans to temper its physique. Now, with the Half-Saint Tribulation Lightning, its Lightning Magnetic Body had accumulated enough maturity to undergo a transformation!
This wasn't Li Che's first Dao Fruit, and he was experienced in their transformations.
Level 3 was a significant threshold for Dao Fruits.
Once crossed, it could give birth to nascent divine abilities!
The Thousand Analysis Hands, Dragon Elephant Vajra: Climbing the Tower, and the Immaculate Heart: Binding Spirit, were all nascent divine abilities that emerged after the first transformation of the Dao Fruit.
In fact, Li Che didn't underestimate any of these nascent divine abilities. They had provided him with significant assistance and were a primary reason for his current standing.
For instance, the Thousand Analysis Hands had greatly enhanced his woodcarving skills. In Feilei City, he had become a master woodcarver, allowing his family to breathe a sigh of relief.
Climbing the Tower had also boosted his combat power. When he was younger, he could unleash it to borrow the power of the Divine Sculpture during the great disaster in Feilei City, effortlessly killing those with malicious intentions and ensuring the safety of his family.
As for the Binding Spirit, it was even more remarkable...
The foundation of the Netherworld was established through this nascent divine ability.
Li Che's heart stirred slightly as he felt the Dao Fruit within his chest, the Lightning Magnetic Body, trembling wildly. With each beat, it was as if an invisible force was squeezing it, causing thunderbolts to burst forth and transform into a wildly swinging divine whip.
In the heavens and earth, it danced wildly!
Nascent Divine Ability (Lightning Magnetic Body: Divine Xiaoshao)—Divine Xiaoshao True Method, rapid as the law, with righteous thunder on the body, immune to tribulations and calamities.
Before his eyes, the lightning and electric lights flickered, gradually forming characters that seemed to vibrate and introduce themselves.
Li Che's eyes opened and closed, and his heart calmed as he carefully pondered the introduction.
These nascent divine abilities weren't easy to understand at first.
Within the entire courtyard, the lightning gradually dissipated, and Li Che's physical body expanded, as if transforming into a greedy maw that devoured the electric lights.
After a moment, all the lightning in the courtyard vanished.
Li Che exhaled slowly.
"Nine Heavens Godly Thunder, rapid as the law..."
"This is a thunder method."
Li Che's eyes sparkled.
"I wonder if it will help with my research on the Immortal Super Electromagnetic Cannon."
Li Che's heart couldn't help but fill with anticipation.
He raised his palm, and between his fingers, tiny currents of electricity surged rapidly, sticking together like glue, and bursting with electric lights, resembling the intricate patterns of a talisman drawn on paper.
Ink City!
Li Che clenched his fist, and his thoughts stirred.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard appeared, revealing a city bathed in ink, like a shadowy silhouette within the misty rain and ink-splashed landscapes of the Jiangnan region.
The black rain continuously pounded the ground, creating ink-colored circles that spread and stained the area.
Li Che appeared within Ink City, drenched by the pouring rain.
After his previous battle with Su Wenxi, which nearly destroyed the entire city, Ink City had finally recovered.
When he had killed the Dragon Queen Consort, Ink City was still under repair and couldn't be used.
Now, there was no such problem.
Li Che expanded his perception and could sense that the restored and reshaped Ink City was even more resilient than before.
It could withstand even greater destructive forces.
This divine ability, the first layer of Baiyu Jing's Ten Divine Abilities, was beyond Li Che's comprehension.
After being shattered a hundred times and then healing, could it even block the Heaven's Gate Martial Saint and the Divine Embryo Great Deity? Could a single Ink City restrain a Great Deity? Li Che wondered, feeling delighted at Ink City's growth potential.
However, at this moment, Li Che had only come to the Ink Pool to test the nascent divine ability, Divine Xiaoshao.
He clenched his fist.
Countless arcs of lightning surged and exploded.
Nascent divine ability...
Divine Xiaoshao!
In an instant, Li Che seemed to become brighter, with countless dazzling rays of lightning bursting from his body, intertwining like a thunder armor covering him.
Immune to tribulations and calamities!
Li Che felt as if he had transformed into a divine figure from ancient myths, wearing a thunder armor and exuding awe-inspiring might, causing his heart to tremble.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit throbbed in his chest.
The next moment, Li Che's body began to expand at a visible rate, his flesh swelling, muscles bulging, and his entire body growing to over two meters in height.
His twisted muscles resembled twisted braids, displaying rippling muscle fibers throughout his body. His pores expanded, and hundreds of innate true energies, transformed from the Divine Seed Martial Arts, burst forth.
He stood like a towering mountain, his blood and energy raging ferociously, like an enraged dragon roaring in the sky.
With the thunder armor of Divine Xiaoshao, Li Che unleashed his martial arts within Ink City.
He clenched his fist, and the Xuanjin Eight Treasure Thunder Dragon Staff fell into his hand. With a tap of the staff, the void exploded, and his spine trembled as if a giant dragon were roaring, piercing through the heavens and earth!
The rain within Ink City exploded in all directions.
Li Che's jet-black hair whipped wildly, like divine whips lashing the air. After activating the nascent divine ability, Divine Xiaoshao, even his hair was covered in fine lightning!
Gripping the treasure staff, Li Che began to cultivate the Divine Seed Martial Arts within Ink City.
Upon reaching the Master Realm and completing the Divine Seed's entry into the Qimen, he achieved the Mastery of the Demon Python Spear.
Suddenly, countless True Gang Qi merged and burst forth, forming an enormous golden demon python behind Li Che.
As Li Che shook his long staff, the massive python seemed to stretch lazily!
Boom!
Countless raindrops exploded, and on the python, it was as if the Divine Tower's power enveloped it, with crackling arcs of lightning coursing through it!
The python, a Demonic Lightning Python!
Li Che could feel that the power of this Divine Seed Martial Art was being amplified.
"The Divine Tower's power, like the Divine Ascension Tower... It's more like a state, accumulating the power of the Thunder Magnetic Body within the body, unleashing the stored thunderbolts!"
"Such power... is indeed formidable!"
And...
Li Che's eyes flashed, and now he understood the myriad supernatural abilities, having a deep understanding of their nature.
The Divine Tower's power...
Was not merely an attached power.
In fact, Li Che wasn't overly surprised by this attached power.
If it was only this, then this embryonic supernatural ability... for Li Che, it was dispensable.
After all, Li Che, with his unmatched physical body, when empowered by the Divine Tower's power and covered in the Divine Tower Thunder Armor, the power he unleashed was enhanced, but not by much.
Even when integrated into the Divine Seed Martial Art, it only added a thunderous power with an exorcism attribute to the martial art.
It couldn't be considered a huge surprise.
But...
Li Che knew that the true use of the Divine Tower's power was as an auxiliary function!
Li Che descended gracefully.
Without lingering in Mo City, his mind moved, and he left the city.
Returning to the courtyard of the Listening to Thunder Alley, Li Che entered the inner room and found the Xuanhuang talisman paper, brush, and ink prepared earlier for drawing talismans.
He casually drew a sixth-level Thunder Talisman.
Then, using the Painting Immortal's Immortal Fruit, he made a replica, and after replicating the talisman, this talisman actually had no divine nature and lacked the true effect of a talisman.
But...
Li Che pinched the talisman replicated by the Painting Immortal's Immortal Fruit.
Within his chest cavity, the Immortal Fruit's Thunder Magnetic Body was triggered.
The Divine Tower's power instantly surged into the talisman, and the crackling arcs of lightning danced on the talisman paper, filling the originally divine-less talisman with power.
"Wow..."
"The Painting Immortal's replicated talisman, with the Thunder Magnetic Body's Divine Tower power, fills the Thunder Talisman with power!"
"In other words... as long as my divine nature is sufficient, I can have an inexhaustible Thunder Talisman!"
Li Che's eyes lit up.
Feeling the sixth-level Thunder Talisman, Li Che sensed the Thunder Magnetic Body's Divine Tower power within his current Lv. 3 level.
He could probably replicate a higher-level talisman.
This...
Li Che's eyes gleamed: "I wonder how many fifth-level Divine Tower Thunder Talismans can be replicated with the Divine Tower's power?"
"Doesn't this mean... I'm already a Talisman Sage in the path of Thunder Talismans?"
Who says a cheat-achieved Sage isn't a Sage?
For a moment, Li Che couldn't help but anticipate the Divine Tower Thunder Talisman drawn by the Sect Lady.
After studying the Divine Tower's power for a while, Li Che finally put away the Divine Tower Thunder Armor that covered his body.
Then, after cultivating his martial arts for a while, he took out one Divine Essence Crystal after another from the Five Elders and gave them to his Painting Immortal clones to cultivate diligently.
Li Che's divine nature cultivation broke through to the Divine Essence Golden Core realm, and in one go, he entered the Golden Body Transformation realm, now aiming for the Embryonic Transformation. Besides insight, he also needed an abundance of divine nature to pile up.
The process of accumulating divine nature was one of absorbing the divine nature from the Divine Essence Crystals, which could only be done step by step, requiring resources to smash and stack.
Li Che felt the Three Purities Golden Core's Law of Heaven and Earth Spiritually Clear True Ape Golden Core and the Four Virtues Golden Core's Six Desires Exorcist Sword Immortal Pure Yang Golden Core within his Pineal Gland, and couldn't help but feel a headache.
He originally felt quite wealthy.
But with the appearance of these two Divine Essence Beasts, Li Che's collection of Divine Essence Crystals seemed inadequate.
Maintaining the cultivation of the Six Desires Golden Core clones wasn't a problem.
But maintaining the Three Purities Golden Core and Four Virtues Golden Core required the Divine Essence Crystals of the middle-ranked Five Elders...
"Poverty makes me want to improve."
Li Che muttered.
Fortunately, he had become the only Divine Sculpture Demi-Saint of the Divine Origin Sect and even the entire Primordial Dao City.
His value skyrocketed, and accumulating cultivation resources would become easier.
"I still need to strive to become stronger... At least, during the Peach Blossom Banquet, I want to win a peach for my wife to taste, and longevity is the most important, regardless of its taste."
Li Che's eyes softened.
His wife, Zhang Ya, was indeed an ordinary person with limited talent. Even with Li Che's continuous use of the Immaculate Heart Immortal Fruit's divine nature to cleanse and enhance her talent, her cultivation speed was still quite slow.
This was because Zhang Ya's foundation was inherently weak.
Although there was still a long time before the longevity that would face the separation of life and death, Li Che felt that some longevity-prolonging treasures, if obtained, should be acquired.
Li Che was confident about touching upon longevity.
As his daughter grew, his future Immortal Fruits would only increase...
What if a Longevity Immortal Fruit appeared?
Then longevity would no longer be an issue.
Of course, he also needed to be able to bear the Longevity Immortal Fruit before saying these things in detail.
After tidying up, the Fragrant Alley was bustling, while the Listening to Thunder Alley was deserted.
No one knew that Li Che had come to Listening to Thunder Alley.
The night deepened, and the spring rain fell softly.
Li Che dusted off his Elder's robe, a hint of a smile on his face, as he held up an oil-paper umbrella and glanced at his Painting Immortal clones, who were earnestly cultivating with the Divine Essence Crystals. He then stepped out of the independent workshop courtyard.
The rain slanted down, illuminated by the yellow lamplight, resembling beads of glass.
The restaurant was nestled deep within an alley, and aside from Li Che, it seemed no other customers ever ventured there.
A large black dog lay at the entrance, glancing at Li Che with a snarl, its teeth bared in anger.
The last time, that damn guy must have patted the dog's head without taking responsibility!
The owner sat in a chair, one leg crossed over the other, smoking a cigarette while flipping through a menu.
"Boss, there's good news today. I'll have three dishes and a soup. I'll go back and have a few drinks with my wife." Li Che said with a smile.
The owner glanced at Li Che and replied with a nonchalant expression, "Sure."
He didn't bother to just make a bowl of noodles for Li Che.
A moment later, the owner prepared three dishes and a soup, and although it was a simple meal, the rich aroma made Li Che's stomach rumble with hunger.
It was well known that with Li Che's current cultivation, controlling his appetite was effortless, and it wasn't easy for him to be tempted by food.
Li Che put away the dishes and took out a jar of Yellow Sword Wine, a fine brew made by the owner of the Drunken Goose Tower. He poured a cup for the restaurant owner.
The owner furrowed his brows but sat down opposite Li Che.
After taking a sip, the owner shook his head slightly, "This wine is average. The storage method and environment weren't chosen well. The brewing technique is decent, but the execution is lacking."
Li Che smiled, "It's just something to enjoy casually."
After the owner's evaluation, he didn't mention the wine again and chatted with Li Che as they drank.
"Boss, have you heard of the Peach Blossom Banquet?" Li Che asked.
"I heard that one peach can extend one's lifespan by sixty years. Is it true? Are there any side effects?"
Li Che eagerly poured the owner another cup of wine.
Peach Blossom Banquet was a feast, and it was natural to ask the owner about it.
The owner replied with a calm tone, "It can indeed prolong life."
"As for the taste, ask the dog. It's eaten quite a few."
Li Che's gaze shifted to the large black dog.
The dog stuck out its tongue and licked its mouth.
Li Che immediately understood—the Peach Blossom Banquet must be delicious!
"I'll have to find an opportunity to try it. Xixi and my wife should also have a taste." Li Che smiled.
After asking his question, Li Che put away the wine cup and left a gold ingot, bowing to the owner.
His wide sleeves fluttered as he walked into the rain with an umbrella.
...
...
Instead of going to Liuxiang Alley, Li Che went directly to the Disciple City of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
The Elder's Court in the Disciple City was bustling with activity.
News of Li Che becoming a Demi-God Divine Carving Master had spread, attracting many outer sect elders of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect to offer their congratulations.
However, since everyone assumed Li Che was at his courtyard in Liuxiang Alley, the Disciple City's courtyard was relatively peaceful.
Li Che arrived at Jiao Shao Qiu's courtyard, where he found Zhang Ya, her hair damp with sweat, practicing diligently in the spring rain under Jiao Shao Qiu's guidance.
