Chapter 408: Immortal in Painting's Fourth Transformation, Dao Guide, Ten Fiend Ink Pour, Divine Seed Qilin Opens Eight Gates (Part 1)
Whoosh!
The raging wind and waves surged, and Li Che spread his arms, his fingers splayed. As he completed the Bound Deity, behind him, a series of chained figures struggled to stand, their bodies bound by chains.
But in Li Che's eyes, there was a flow of ink.
Within his chest, the Dao Fruit of the Immortal in Painting violently trembled, emitting a thunderous roar like a rumbling sound. With each beat, it seemed as if ink stains were shaking and exploding on his body!
The dense ink mist rose and swirled endlessly!
The sound of his heartbeat gradually faded, like ink falling on paper, gently gliding across and then slowly moving away, leaving only silence.
It was like a wisp of rising cooking smoke.
The sound of the Great Dao dissipated, fading into the air.
Li Che's hair danced wildly, like black water grass, adding a touch of ethereal ink to his entire being.
The Dao Fruit of the Immortal in Painting underwent its fourth transformation!
Li Che's expression remained calm, and he didn't feel particularly surprised. Instead, it was more like a natural progression.
During the fierce battle with Tian Can Di Que, Ink City had been damaged, and as it slowly repaired, the maturity of the Dao Fruit increased.
Moreover, during the fight with Ji Mo Li, Li Che's Sovereign Avatar had endured significant damage, further enhancing the maturity of the Dao Fruit.
Originally, the maturity of the Dao Fruit had already reached 90%. With these two boosts, it naturally broke through its shackles and achieved transformation!
As a diligent Dao Fruit, the Immortal in Painting had provided Li Che with considerable assistance, whether it was its replication, the creation of Ink City Fengdu, or other means, all of which made Li Che's abilities even more mysterious.
Li Che's jet-black hair fluttered in the wind, and his eyes seemed to have turned into ink.
With each transformation of the Dao Fruit, he felt his spirit elevated and strengthened!
Buzz!
Li Che opened his eyes, and his powerful spirit spread out, forming invisible ripples.
The ink-colored raindrops falling from the sky solidified one by one in mid-air.
Li Che slowly turned around, and in his eyes, the ink smoke was like a terrifying force that captivated the heart.
Behind him, Gu Chang Qing, Bai Bu Yi, and Zhao Chun Qiu, the three top-tier Divine Sages, slowly revived, their bodies chained, and the chains slowly snapping.
Having emerged from the Netherworld, they were left only with bewilderment and shock.
Li Che's eyes flowed with ink, and he gazed at them indifferently.
In a moment, a rustling sound echoed.
Then, one by one, figures appeared from all directions in Ink City Fengdu.
Tian Can Di Que, Yue Huanglong, Han Sixin, and others, all Bound Deity figures, stared at the three figures with a hint of greed.
After all, devouring others through Bound Deity could enhance their strength, which was a great temptation for them.
Initially, Li Che had intended to devour Ji Mo Li, and he had even collected the shattered remains of Ji Mo Li's body.
Unfortunately, those fragments were fake. After Ji Mo Li's Divine Embryo was shattered, they turned into pus-filled blood clots that melted into the ground. It wasn't ordinary blood but a mixture of countless different blood essences.
This proved that Fang Hanshu's claim about Ji Mo Li's blood pool clone was likely true.
As Li Che sensed the various essences within those blood clots, he seemed to see a city filled with flowing blood and corpses strewn everywhere.
A city of slaughter seemed to stretch across time and illusion, standing before his eyes.
It was unimaginable that someone would massacre an entire city just to gather a blood pool and create a clone...
What kind of cruel and vicious person could do such a thing?!
No wonder Nan Li Huo held such hatred, even with his strength far inferior to Ji Mo Li's, he never gave up on revenge.
Three Bound Deity figures appeared.
Li Che's gaze swept over them indifferently; these were three top-tier Divine Sages. If they could be transformed into Bound Deities, they would be a significant help to Li Che.
Xie Yun Shen's court army, led by the Supreme Advisor, camped eight hundred li outside Qianyuan Dao City. After learning about the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's foundation, they would undoubtedly continue to recruit powerful individuals for future attacks!
But...
How could you, Xie Yun Shen, ever imagine...
That the fallen warriors from this battle would become the foundation of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect?
You know nothing of true power!
A resounding clamor echoed.
The Supreme Leader of Tiandan Divine Sect, Gu Chang Qing, revealed a horrified expression. After the initial shock, he didn't hesitate and chose life over death!
He submitted.
The second to submit was the Supreme Leader of Dragon Tiger Divine Sect, Zhao Chun Qiu.
His desire for life was no less than Gu Chang Qing's, and he was someone who valued survival.
What surprised Li Che was encountering someone with such backbone.
The Supreme Leader of Vast Sage Academy, Bai Bu Yi, stood tall, his Confucian robe fluttering, and his body exuded a black aura of death, yet he raised his head with pride.
"Bai, I'd rather die standing than submit to a young punk like you!"
His eyes swept over Gu Chang Qing and Zhao Chun Qiu with disdain.
The Supreme Leaders of Divine Sects, bowing to a young man—it was unthinkable!
After recognizing Li Che's identity, Bai Bu Yi's disdain grew stronger.
They were top-tier figures, and Li Che should be seeking their assistance, not offering himself as a servant! How could he expect to hold a higher position in Li Che's eyes?
In the Vast Sage Academy, Bai Bu Yi was well-acquainted with the hierarchical system and was aware of Li Che's identity. He couldn't help but have a thought, even though... Li Che was the one who had resurrected him.
But so what?
He believed that Li Che would definitely not want to lose his assistance as a top-tier deity.
Li Che's ink-colored eyes swept past, and for the first time, a look of astonishment appeared, and even a hint of relief was revealed.
"Don't want to live on your knees?"
"Then go die."
Li Che's words fell.
His five fingers opened like a book, and a terrifying power instantly froze and sealed Bai Bu Yi's Bind Spirit body.
Bai Bu Yi's Bind Spirit was startled, and the next moment, he struggled violently.
Boom!
A fat, spherical body suddenly rushed over and collided with Bai Bu Yi, smashing his Bind Spirit body away. The chubby palm pressed on his arm, and with a ripping sound... the Bind Spirit's arm tore off, emitting a strong Bind Spirit aura.
On the other side, the Heaven Maim Earth Defect Two Elders also chuckled and ran over.
Han Sixin, Yan Jing, Su Leibao, You Liqing, and other Bind Spirits rushed over, their eyes flashing with greedy brilliance. They all started to feast on the top-tier deity, a grand feast for the gluttonous.
Except for the recently revived Gu Chang Qing and Zhao Chun Qiu, two Bind Spirits of top-tier deity level, who were currently sweating profusely, maintaining a bowing gesture, not daring to move at all.
Almost all Bind Spirits participated in this grand feast.
They had longed for a Bind Spirit with such integrity for too long!
Oh, there was one Bind Spirit who didn't join, and that was Huang Jian Jiu.
Li Che thought of Huang Jian Jiu, and with a thought, a black-gold flesh and blood treasure pearl appeared.
This was Huang Jian Jiu's Bind Spirit, which had transformed after obtaining the Heaven Earth Chessboard's strange treasure, the Quadruple Sovereign Upper Rank Shrine Deity Rank Orb, after destroying the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda's strange temple.
It had sacrificed the Bind Spirit's flesh and life force.
However, Huang Jian Jiu didn't die; it seemed to exist in another form.
"Shrine Deity?"
Li Che's ink-fogged eyes narrowed slightly, as if sensing a Shrine Deity's aura within this black-gold flesh and blood treasure pearl...
Buzz—
As if sensing Li Che's will, the flesh and blood treasure pearl began to tremble slightly, as if black-gold sword energy were constantly weaving and raging around it...
And the space...
It seemed to be cut open by the black-gold sword energy of this flesh and blood treasure pearl!
Li Che's gaze slightly condensed.
Break the void!
Although it was only a preliminary break, it still possessed at least Half-Step Sword God level power!
This was still in its pearl form, not yet completely transformed into a Shrine Deity. If it were to fully transform...
Wouldn't it mean that Huang Jian Jiu... could rival the Divine Tribulation?
Li Che's heart trembled.
【Origin: An object formed by the condensation of divine essence, Dao Essence, and origin after the fall of a deity. By sacrificing the flesh and life force, one can obtain the Shrine Deity rank.】
This was the introduction of the Quadruple Sovereign Upper Rank Shrine Deity Rank Orb!
Li Che had originally not taken it seriously.
Obtaining the Shrine Deity rank and becoming a Shrine Deity... So what?
Like the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda's Shrine Deity, a Quadruple Sovereign Upper Rank level is just an ultimate battle power.
For Li Che now, what difference would another ultimate battle power make? Even if it were a Shrine Deity...
It wouldn't make much difference.
However, Li Che realized that he might have been wrong.
"Sacrificed and refined by flesh and blood, inheriting the Dao rank, and becoming a Shrine Deity... So, what is inherited is a true, living Shrine Deity with real flesh and blood?"
"So, the overall strength... will be stronger than those dead Shrine Deities?"
A Quadruple Sovereign Upper Rank Shrine Deity... would possess the power of the Divine Tribulation realm?
Of course, the prerequisite is successful nurturing.
Moreover, this transformed Shrine Deity cannot appear in the mortal world.
Divine Tribulation Cultivators in the mortal world would face the threat of Three Disasters Nine Tribulations and cannot last long, while Shrine Deities... are clearly more strict! But Li Che's eyes lit up slightly.
In the Ink City Fengdu, a Shrine Deity can last forever!
In other words, there might be a Divine Tribulation Shrine Deity in his Fengdu at any time, ready to pull enemies in and kill them!
Li Che's heart raced.
Looking at the black-gold flesh ball that Huang Jian Jiu had transformed into, he couldn't help but feel anticipation.
He was increasingly looking forward to Huang Jian Jiu breaking through the flesh ball and becoming a true Shrine Deity!
"What do you need?"
Li Che asked.
Fortunately, even after Huang Jian Jiu refined the rank orb, the connection between him and Huang Jian Jiu's Bind Spirit still existed, not severed.
In other words, the Shrine Deity that Huang Jian Jiu had transformed into, still held the utmost respect and submission to him! Bind Spirit...
Evolved into a Shrine Deity!
The only uncertainty was whether the transformed Shrine Deity could also possess the immortality characteristic of Bind Spirits.
So, Li Che began to inquire about Huang Jian Jiu's needs.
Buzz—
The flesh ball trembled, and information was fed back.
Li Che's eyes lit up.
"Dao Essence Spirit Crystal?"
Li Che's eyebrows raised slightly.
"I understand."
After calming down for a while, Li Che then looked at Gu Chang Qing's Bind Spirit.
Gu Chang Qing's Bind Spirit respectfully flew over.
"My lord."
"Do you know about the Dao Essence Spirit Crystal?"
Li Che asked.
"Of course, it's the Heaven Earth Chessboard's strange treasure in the depths of the Deceptive Pavilion, just like the Divine Essence Crystal, but it contains Dao Essence within."
Gu Chang Qing knew everything.
"The Strange Temple in the depths of the Deceptive Pavilion?"
Li Che's eyebrows rose slightly.
Gu Chang Qing's eyes lit up with eagerness as he spoke with urgency, "The Deceptive Pavilion is vast and is known as the Wicked Quake World. It's divided into four regions: the Outer Deceptive Quarter, Inner Deceptive Quarter, Earthly Deceptive Quarter, and Heavenly Deceptive Quarter..."
"These are the secrets passed down by our Tiandan Divine Sect's founding ancestor after his exploration of the Deceptive Pavilion."
Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart stirred. Indeed, he had never heard of this before.
"From the tenth city to the fifth-rank Strange Temple, they are all located in the Outer Deceptive Quarter..."
"The Quadruple Sovereign and San Qing Strange Temples are situated in the Inner Deceptive Quarter. Usually, we from the various divine sects and current-world cultivators refer to the Inner Deceptive Quarter as the depths of the Deceptive Pavilion..."
"The Dao Essence Spirit Crystal can only be born in the San Qing Strange Temple, so... it only exists in the depths of the Deceptive Pavilion, which is within the Inner Deceptive Quarter."
Gu Chang Qing explained earnestly, trying to showcase his value.
Li Che nodded slightly, indicating for him to continue, "Then, what about the Earthly and Heavenly Deceptive Quarters?"
Gu Chang Qing licked his lips, "The founding ancestor didn't say much, but he did give a brief description..."
"Before they became the Deceptive Pavilion, the Earthly and Heavenly Deceptive Quarters were known as the Nine Heavens Ten Earths."
Hmm?!
Li Che's heart stirred slightly.
Vaguely, he felt like he had grasped something.
But it was as if a slippery catfish had slipped through his fingers and escaped.
Nine Heavens Ten Earths...
"Tell me more."
Li Che frowned as he spoke.
However, Gu Chang Qing shook his head, "My lord, the founding ancestor only mentioned the name Nine Heavens Ten Earths Deceptive Pavilion, because... he himself had never set foot in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Deceptive Pavilion."
"That's the true core area of the Deceptive Pavilion. It is said... that it can be traced back to the very origin of the world..."
Hearing this, Li Che didn't press Gu Chang Qing to say more.
If he didn't know, there was no point in asking further.
Li Che nodded and fell into deep thought.
Tracing back to the origin of the world, what did that mean? So, if he wanted to obtain the Dao Essence Spirit Crystal, would he have to enter the Inner Deceptive Quarter?
"In your Heaven Earth Jade, is there a Dao Essence Spirit Crystal?"
Li Che glanced at Gu Chang Qing and asked.
Gu Chang Qing's Heaven Earth Jade was naturally in Li Che's possession. Even Bai Bu Yi, who had fallen at Fang Hanshu's hands, and Zhao Chun Qiu, their Heaven Earth Jade, had been collected by Li Che.
Fortunately, their Heaven Earth Jade was of extremely high quality; otherwise, it would have shattered long ago, and Li Che wouldn't even need to arrange for the Bound Deities to collect it along with their blood and flesh.
