Chapter 326: Dao Fruit Transformation and Divine Technique Advancement (Part 2)
Pure Martial Dragon Elephant, All Laws Merged in the Cauldron? In his mind, information about this Dao Guidance technique flowed like a stream.
Then, Li Che's expression revealed a peculiar look.
"Pure Martial..."
Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron... is a pure martial cultivation technique!
It is a pure martial art without any divine essence, known as Pure Martial.
However, Li Che couldn't help but wonder: Could Pure Martial truly be stronger than martial arts infused with divine essence? In fact, modern martial cultivation is inseparable from divine essence. The divine essence tempers the martial artist's body, allowing them to enhance their physical strength at a rate far exceeding that of the Strange Temple era.
It also makes the birth of Martial Saints much easier! Li Che had perused numerous ancient texts related to martial cultivation within the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's collection.
In those texts, there were records of past Grandmasters, Martial Saints, and more. In reality, the modern Grandmasters and Martial Saints are significantly different from the Pure Martial era.
And now, the transformation of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dharmic Fruit has revealed a pure martial cultivation technique...
This caught Li Che off guard.
Indeed, Li Che had never imagined that in his lifetime, he would have any connection with Pure Martial. His physical tempering was entirely intertwined with divine essence.
"Pure Martial Dragon Elephant... Can Pure Martial be stronger?"
Li Che's heart was filled with this doubt.
Those who fall behind will be eliminated. The reason Pure Martial is replaced by Divine Martial is because Pure Martial is outdated. During the Pure Martial era, there might only be one or two Martial Saints in the world, but in the current Divine Martial era, even Martial Saint Quadruple Opening, an ultimate pinnacle, has emerged. Although still rare and scarce, it is undoubtedly far more numerous than the Pure Martial era.
Even Lu Tai Bai, a top-tier ultimate pinnacle, stands at the Tianmen Pass!
"Pure Martial... I can seek out Grand Scholar Fang Han Shu to learn more about Pure Martial."
As Li Che endured the transformation of his body, enhanced by the Dharmic Fruit, he began to contemplate the next steps.
Whether Pure Martial is strong or not, Li Che didn't really care.
What he cared about was the strength of the "Dao Guidance" obtained from this transformation of the Dharmic Fruit!
As a technique above divine techniques, Li Che didn't think it would be too weak.
Creak!
It was like a thunderclap echoing behind the clouds.
Li Che's thoughts suddenly focused.
He scanned his Human Body Great Vital Energy Core, and as expected, another crack appeared, the fifth one. With this transformation of the Dharmic Fruit and the opening of the sixth Mystic Gate Divine Seed, Li Che's martial cultivation seemed to have further improved!
His mood instantly brightened. Li Che understood that the rapid advancement of cultivation realm was the greatest source of confidence for a person.
In a dream, a dream butterfly flapped its wings, carrying Li Che through time and space, where he saw Li Xi Xi, enduring hardships.
Li Che's mind was filled with the sole thought of becoming stronger!
Within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda Temple Deity's Summoning Spirit power was slowly extracting its strength, infusing it into the myriad Golden Cores within Li Che's inner world. At the same time, it was also merging with Li Che's physical body, refining and enhancing his flesh through the Temple Deity's divine nature.
This was why the Divine Martial Arts of this era could be cultivated faster than pure martial arts.
The appearance of the Strange Temple and the spread and infiltration of divine nature were more like a...life-level evolution. Not only did it enhance the cultivator's lifespan, but it also made the cultivator's physical body stronger.
Buzzing vibrations emanated in ripples from Li Che's body, spreading out into the surroundings.
The air seemed to be a wrinkled carpet!
Li Che clenched his fists and pushed horizontally in the courtyard, attempting to summon the Dao Guidance 【Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron】 for the first time!
As he executed the technique, Li Che's eyes narrowed, feeling as if every muscle in his body was twisted into a knot. The blood and energy in his arms seemed like a wrung-out towel, bursting out in an instant!
Before his eyes, a stream of light slowly emerged.
【Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron: Pure Martial Purity (70%)】
A loud bang echoed!
Like a towering wave, Li Che's muscles seemed to twist and contort, making him feel as if his flesh was stretching and growing more robust. Every inch of his skin felt as if it had been tempered to the extreme, like a fine iron steel!
"So powerful!"
"My flesh...my flesh..."
Li Che felt that at the moment of summoning the Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron, his flesh had reached an unprecedented level of resilience.
It was like the ultimate fine iron, forged by a thousand hammers and a hundred temperings!
Compared to before, it was even more powerful!
Boom!
The Martial Saint's Primordial Energy erupted, colliding and merging with the blood and energy.
Boom!!!
Countless bursts of blood and energy, along with the Martial Saint's Primordial Energy, scorched and boiled, resembling the terrifyingly high temperatures of magma deep within the earth.
This blood and energy, accompanied by the roaring sound of the Dragon Elephant, transformed into an enormous blood-red furnace!
The surface of the furnace seemed to be a Dao Fruit shedding its skin, with the blood and energy acting like knives carving out dragon and elephant shapes.
The three-legged blood-red furnace, scorching hot, enveloped Li Che within it.
The furnace constantly tempered Li Che's flesh, and divine nature began to leak out from the furnace, twisting and spreading, purging his body.
Li Che's inner world, with its blood and flesh torn open, revealed a dazzling pair of golden divine eyes.
Like a storm vortex, it devoured all the divine nature squeezed out of his flesh.
Within the Spirit Bright True Ape Golden Core, a true ape roared, opening its mouth to swallow the divine nature completely.
However, the Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron continued to temper Li Che's physique.
It was as if, from the moment he stepped onto the path of martial arts, his body, infused with divine nature, was completely tempered into a pure martial body.
This was truly an extremely heaven-defying method!
Li Che's mind was filled with shock, as this Dao Guidance seemed a bit mystical.
Martial arts cultivation was a process of accumulating day by day, month by month. The divine nature within heaven and earth constantly merged with Li Che's body, and some of it even penetrated deep into his bone marrow.
It even merged with his blood, making it nearly impossible to restore pure martial arts...
Unless one undid their cultivation and destroyed it.
Otherwise, in this lifetime, pure martial arts would remain unattainable.
Pure martial arts cannot be tainted by even a trace of divine nature. Therefore, it must be cultivated from a young age, and one must choose a child with extremely poor divine talent or even no divine talent at all, but with top-notch martial arts roots.
Now that Li Che had cultivated the Martial Saint, it meant that he had almost reached the peak in the path of Divine Martial Arts.
To switch to pure martial arts was basically impossible, even if one undid their cultivation...it would still be extremely difficult.
It was like pickling a piece of meat. Once the meat is well-pickled, can it be restored to its original fresh state?
But the Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron had achieved it!
However, Li Che actually had a doubt in his mind.
Because the 【Dragon Elephant Vajra】, from the beginning of the Dao Fruit's transformation, had a divine ability called 【Ascension】. But 【Ascension】 relied on the power of the Temple Deity's divine nature chess pieces to enhance the flesh.
Yet, the current Dao Guidance was completely opposite to the effect of 【Ascension】!
By stepping onto the path of pure martial arts, Li Che was heading in the direction of pure martial arts...
【Boiling Divine Nature, Flesh Rising, Perfect Horizontal Refinement, All Gods Witness Me】
In Li Che's mind, the mantra describing the 【Ascension State】 appeared.
"Perhaps...only the combination of the pure martial state and the 【Ascension State】 can perfectly bear the divine power, and that is the true perfect horizontal refinement?"
Li Che pondered.
Boom!!!
Before Li Che's eyes, the flowing light reappeared.
【Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron: Pure Martial Purity (80%)】
In a short time, Li Che had purged 10% of his divine nature. This purged divine nature was immense, and it was all devoured by the Spirit Bright True Ape Golden Core.
"So, the ultimate goal is 100%, a completely pure martial state...the difficulty should be immense, right?"
Li Che sat cross-legged in the enormous Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron, scorching hot like the rising sun.
The blood and energy burned like fuel, maintaining the operation of the Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron, tempering Li Che's flesh, striving to achieve a transformation into a pure martial body.
The entire person sat cross-legged within a blazing furnace of vital energy.
Like a golden core forged a thousand times in a pill furnace, it radiated a dazzling brilliance!
Li Che took out a precious martial arts pill and popped it into his mouth.
A gurgling sound echoed.
The pill fell into his stomach, crushed by the powerful stomach walls, and after breaking apart, the potent medicinal effects transformed into essence, frantically surging into Li Che's limbs and bones, greedily absorbed by his physical body.
Li Che focused all his efforts on the human body pill.
Continue opening the human body pill!
...
...
Snowflakes danced and fluttered.
The scorching heat in the courtyard had long since vanished, and the enormous furnace of vital energy had also subsided.
Without the searing heat, the snowflakes no longer melted, and they began to gently fall and settle.
Unknowingly, ten days passed.
During these ten days, Li Che remained nestled in the small courtyard, studying the Dao guidance power he had just acquired.
Dragon Elephant Fusion Cauldron, which consumed Li Che's vital energy and martial saint's heavenly energy, continuously refining his body's divine nature, transforming his physical body into a pure martial body. However, after reaching a purity of 85%, the progress became extremely slow.
Feeling the vital energy and martial saint's heavenly energy replenishing and filling his body once more.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes.
Hummm!
A highly perceptive sense suddenly spread out from his body as the center.
The human body pill stretched out, and surprisingly, eight cracks appeared on its surface!
It should be noted that Li Che had only recently broken through to the Martial Saint realm, and yet he had managed to create eight cracks in his human body pill.
Opening the cracks in the human body pill accelerated the release of essence, indicating that the martial saint's heavenly energy would become even more fierce and powerful.
To create cracks in the human body pill, it required the accumulation of essence, and when it became full to the brim, the pill could no longer withstand it, resulting in the formation of cracks.
Eight cracks on the human body pill.
Li Che had already reached the pinnacle of the Martial Arts realm.
Opening one more crack, nine cracks in total, he could then challenge the second breakthrough of the Martial Saint realm, entering the realm of the Qi Sea!
Or, in other words...
At this moment, Li Che was just one crack away from achieving the second breakthrough in the Martial Saint realm.
In the courtyard, Li Che slowly opened his eyes.
After sitting still for ten days, his entire body seemed to have solidified.
As he opened his eyes, the brilliance in the entire courtyard seemed to burst into splendor in an instant.
It was as if an intensely scorching flame was burning.
Li Che raised his head, and in his eyes, it was as if two flames were burning, like two furnaces.
Under his gaze, the heavenly response was automatically triggered.
Instantly, in the heavens and earth, it was as if a band of mist, like a ruinous belt, wafted through the air.
These bands of mist were dense and numerous, crisscrossing and intertwining, like swimming fish, converging towards the sky.
Li Che spread his five fingers, as if trying to grasp those bands of mist.
However, the mist passed right through his flesh, making it impossible to catch.
"This..."
In his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dharmic Fruit, which had just undergone a transformation to the 6th level, suddenly started pounding violently!
A rumbling sound seemed about to explode.
Li Che exhaled, and in his gaze, golden light flickered, becoming increasingly intense.
He finally understood what these bands of mist were.
"This is..."
"Dao Essence?!"
...
...
Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
On a snowy mountain peak, covered in ice and crystal.
A bamboo building, encased in ice, stood amidst the vast snow.
This bamboo building was the repository for the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's collection of books.
Most of the sect's books were stored here, and the sect's elder, Fang Han Shu, a former top scholar of the Dajing Dynasty, was responsible for guarding this simple book repository.
Gurgle, gurgle.
Hot water boiled in a kettle, and green tea leaves danced gracefully within.
Thick snow piled up on the eaves of the bamboo building.
Under the eaves.
Fang Han Shu sat in a bamboo chair, holding a sage book in one hand, carefully studying its contents.
Xi Xi, who had secluded herself in the Tai Bai Hall for ten days, had completely mastered the eight-armed three-faced Hell Lotus Undefeated Divine Form. She sat in a small bamboo chair, holding a sage book, her facial features scrunched together as she diligently memorized the text.
Jin Taishui quietly knelt behind her, also holding a book and reading.
Fang Han Shu held a sage book in one hand and poured himself a cup of hot tea with the other. He blew away the steam, shook his head, and like an old cadre, took a sip of the thick tea, chewing on a tea leaf.
Suddenly.
Fang Han Shu's hand holding the teacup paused, and his white beard fluttered in the wind as he looked towards the courtyard beyond the bamboo fence.
He saw a figure dressed in a golden lotus ink shirt walking slowly through the wind.
Fang Han Shu felt a bit dazed...
Vaguely.
He seemed to see behind the newcomer a scorching furnace of vital energy!
The pure vital energy seemed to draw the heavenly essence into the furnace.
The tea in the cup rippled with a circle of ripples.
It was as if Fang Han Shu's heart was stirred at that moment.
"Entering the Dao through martial arts?"
First update, sorry for the irregular update schedule. I was too tired earlier, and the words on the screen seemed to be splitting, so I decided to take a nap, but I overslept. Old Li will continue with the second update. Everyone can go to sleep now and wake up to a freshly baked chapter tomorrow. Please support with your monthly tickets and recommendations. Old Li will continue!
