Chapter 409: Opening the Eighth Mystic Gate, Dancing the Qilin, Gathering Qi Yun in the Qianyuan Rea
Chapter 409: Opening the Eighth Mystic Gate, Dancing the Qilin, Gathering Qi Yun in the Qianyuan Realm [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 1)
Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!
The entire Ink City seemed to shake violently at this moment!
Eight Gates!
The Eighth Mystic Gate!
Open!
Li Che tilted his head back, and his black hair was tinged with gold, as if in an instant, it transformed into dazzling golden light, swirling wildly, as if tearing through space, leaving cracks in its wake!
Standing in place, Li Che felt eight whirlpools appear behind him, one after another, then overlapping and erupting with a terrifying roar that shook the heavens and the earth!
Ink City Fengdu!
The ground, paved with ink-colored bricks, cracked and expanded rapidly, shaking the entire city as if it were about to collapse!
Boom, boom, boom—
Within his chest, his heart seemed to be fully stimulated, powerful and vigorous, and with each beat, it was as if a heavenly god standing atop the sky, looking down upon mortals, had swung an ancient mythical hammer, creating ripples in space and a thunderous roar!
"Huff—"
"Huff—"
"Huff—"
Without a single breath, only the exhaled air, like scorching steam, continuously surged from within his body. Li Che's eyes opened, and his gaze was like lightning, brilliant with golden light.
His entire aura soared, and the eight chains behind him whipped wildly, as if sprouting from his spine, turning his body into a piece of starry meteorite iron, seared to the extreme by thousands of degrees of heat!
It was as if the air itself was scorched and twisted into collapse!
The Eighth Mystic Gate!
The legendary Mystic Gate!
Even in the records of ancient texts, there was no mention of anyone achieving the simultaneous opening of all eight mystic gates!
This inherited martial art of the Martial Sage was shrouded in mystery.
Cultivating this supreme Martial Sage's divine seed technique carried an immense risk, one that could lead to eternal damnation.
Due to this terrifying risk, very few could master this martial art.
Li Che stood in place, and the bricks on the ground beneath him were torn apart by the terrifying surge of vital energy, creating a golden field that constantly boiled and churned.
Boom!!!
Li Che's body was covered in cracks, like a delicate porcelain vase that had been gently tapped.
In his eyes, the feedback from the epiphany of the Lion Elephant Vajra Fruit began to gradually fade, but for Li Che, this epiphany had already borne fruit!
It had helped him successfully open the Eighth Mystic Gate!
Immortal Seed·Qilin Sealing Seal! This immortal seed martial art, unlike the divine seed martial art, was a reward for Xi Xi's growth after she turned seven, transitioning from childhood to school age.
Obviously, it was a higher level than the divine seed martial art.
Li Che had previously consumed a significant amount of epiphany feedback to cultivate this immortal seed martial art, but he couldn't even manage to enter its threshold.
However, this time, through this exhilarating battle, and even with the help of the Dao Fruit gained from defeating Ji Mo Li's avatar, he successfully pushed his understanding of this immortal seed martial art to its initial stage.
Li Che's eighth mystic gate divine seed had already been matched with a divine seed martial art, as he had collected eight divine seed martial arts for the eight mystic gates.
But the appearance of the immortal seed martial art was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Without much hesitation, compared to the divine seed martial art he had prepared, and the bond reward for Xi Xi's safe growth...
Li Che naturally chose the immortal seed martial art!
Qilin Tranquil Seal!
On Li Che's back, the eighth mystic gate divine seed shone like a blazing sun, its vortex swirling, larger than any other divine seed vortex.
Not only because it was the opening of an immortal seed martial art, but also because it was the opening of the eighth mystic gate divine seed!
Eight Mystic Gates!
That was the legendary power!
With the opening of the eight gates, Li Che had become the legend himself!
Li Che even wondered if the martial artist who created these eight mystic gates had ever opened all eight gates and reached such heights.
Li Che had even speculated that the eighth mystic gate might exist within the spine...
"With the immortal seed as the main focus and the seven divine seeds as support, the eight mystic gate divine seed technique I cultivate... can even be called an immortal technique!"
Immortal technique—
That's right, this was Li Che's name for this martial art.
It was like being guided by an immortal, a supreme technique.
As he clenched his five fingers, his vital energy roared, and an incredibly powerful force erupted from Li Che's cracked palms, sending out waves of golden energy that shook and tore at space.
"So powerful!"
Li Che's eyes shone with golden light.
It was a power that transcended realms, and Li Che felt that his current strength was just a step away from the Martial God realm!
The main reason was that his physical strength was not yet sufficient, and the immortal seed... had only just entered the initial stage.
He hadn't even reached the initial stage, so he couldn't display the power of the immortal seed martial art, which was a limitation.
This also prevented him from fully unleashing the power unleashed by opening the eight mystic gates!
However, at this moment, Li Che had the ability to single-handedly defeat any Half-step Martial God!
His martial cultivation had broken through to the third stage of the Martial Sage realm, opening the Ten Thousand Feet Golden Pool, allowing him to activate the seventh mystic gate divine seed, and face off against Half-step Divine Tribulation Cultivators in the previous battle against the Mountain-Splitting and Sect-Destroying forces.
But that power was achieved by simultaneously detonating the power of seven mystic gate divine seeds.
And now, even without detonating the mystic gate divine seeds...
Li Che could still unleash the power of a Half-step Martial God! If he were to detonate the seven mystic gate divine seeds...
Li Che could even fight against Martial Gods!
And if his physical strength improved to the point where it could withstand the power of detonating the eighth mystic gate divine seed...
Then, with the ultimate detonation, opening all eight gates, a dazzling burst of brilliance!
He could definitely take down a Martial God!
However, Li Che was also aware that there was still a significant gap in cultivation realms between him and Martial Gods.
It was like a brute with innate divine power who didn't understand martial techniques fighting against a martial artist with skills but lacking in strength.
If one's strength was sufficient, they could overcome ten techniques.
However, the prerequisite was having enough strength.
The gap in understanding and control of Dao Essence and the will of Heaven and Earth was akin to a difference in technique.
As his mind gradually calmed, the raging currents of energy between Heaven and Earth continued to swirl, and the entire Ink City was enveloped in steam rising from the scorching heat, like a furnace.
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
With each breath, the raging winds stirred up thick fog.
His spine resembled a great dragon, and the eight Mystic Gates of the Divine Seed began to slowly converge, his spirit completely unified. The golden vital energy turned cold and quiet, and with the blessing of the Sleeping Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit ability, he was like a calm river surface, serene and slow.
"Don't get too arrogant..."
Without a Divine Tribulation cultivator as a reference, Li Che couldn't allow himself to become overly arrogant. He began to silently recite in his heart, calming his swelling emotions.
After all, he was a father, a family man with a wife and children. Stability was his principle in life.
This world was too mysterious; the higher one's cultivation, the more one could sense its unfathomable depths.
Whether it was the present world, the Deceptive Pavilion, or the Strange Temple, they were all shrouded in mystery. Their secrets, to Li Che, were like a thin veil, preventing him from probing their true nature.
Therefore, Li Che dared not become too arrogant and had to tread carefully.
Li Che sat cross-legged, his Divine Seed subdued, and began to release his vital energy.
Instantly, the Ten Thousand Feet Sea of Golden Pool appeared above his head, its golden light dazzling. The surging golden seawater never ceased, and with each surge, it seemed to create a wave like an erupting volcano!
Within the golden sea of vital energy, a mountain rose from the ground.
This was Li Che's Martial Path Mountain!
With the successful induction of the eighth Mystic Gate, this Martial Path Mountain, amidst the Ten Thousand Feet Sea of Golden Pool, stirred up a terrifying wave.
It was as if the mountain was constantly rising, making the climb more challenging.
In this world, there were many Martial Peak experts. To reach the peak, one had to climb the mountain path to its summit, step into the Four Openings, and then, by inducing the Heavenly Chessboard, open the Heavenly Gate, achieving the pinnacle.
And opening the Heavenly Gate was the ultimate peak.
However, there were countless Martial Mountains, each with its own height.
Everyone's Martial Path was unique. Their understanding of the Martial Path, the tempering of their physical bodies, the refinement of their vital energy, their comprehension of combat, and so on, all contributed to the formation of their Martial Mountains, each with its own variations.
Li Che's Martial Path Mountain could be said to be the highest peak between Heaven and Earth.
With the successful induction of the eighth Mystic Gate Divine Seed, his Martial Path Mountain seemed to break through the sky.
Li Che's spirit sank, and he began to take steps on the mountain path.
However, climbing the mountain path was also a process of strengthening his vital energy.
Li Che needed abundant resources, the Quadruple Sovereign Upper Rank Essence Pill! Riding the momentum of the eighth Mystic Gate induction, Li Che climbed over a thousand zhang on the Martial Path Mountain, but then he felt the emptiness in his vital energy, which needed to be replenished promptly.
So, Li Che decided to end his cultivation, which had lasted five to six days.
While he was climbing, the Seven Orifices Clear Heart, floating within the Pineal Inner World Space, radiated pure spiritual essence, swiftly healing Li Che's physical injuries. By now, he had fully recovered.
With the successful induction of the eighth Mystic Gate, the Immortal Seed Qilin Sealing Seal successfully condensed within the eighth Mystic Gate on his spine, lifting Li Che's spirits.
Although the pressure from Xie Yun Shen's imperial army still lingered, Li Che maintained his confidence to overturn everything.
If he were truly pushed to the extreme.
Li Che didn't mind unleashing a true bloom of splendor!
Unleash the Qilin's Kick!
Let there be a final dance!
Hum—
Li Che's spirit stirred, and his entire being withdrew from Ink City Fengdu.
Only Bind Spirit Ancient Chang Qing remained within Fengdu, diligently refining the Essence Pill. Li Che had brought him resources, and he was always more tolerant of technical types.
Boom—!!!
Li Che had just returned to the Elder's Court.
Instantly, his hair stood on end, even though he had used the Sleeping Dragon Elephant to suppress his aura to the extreme.
But at this moment, he still felt an impending disaster. He looked up and seemed to see a gigantic face manifesting in the sky, observing him, Li Che.
An infinite pressure oppressed, suffocated, and stifled him...
Li Che felt an unprecedented evil presence, as if a calamity was brewing, intending to eradicate him from the world!
To annihilate him completely!
It was as if the world couldn't tolerate his existence.
Li Che's spine trembled, and the eight Mystic Gates of the Divine Seed seemed to vibrate slightly, frantically shaking at an incredibly fast frequency.
Even with Li Che operating the Sleeping Dragon Elephant to its limit, he still couldn't shield himself from this calamity's lock!
Li Che's heart sank slightly. Had he been recognized as a Divine Tribulation Master, a Martial God?
The terrifying pressure descended, and Li Che's spine seemed to bend under the weight.
However, Li Che's spirit stirred, and he induced the Heavenly Chessboard, blocking his aura.
Then, with the Seven Orifices Clear Heart, he released his divine essence, filling and blocking the position of the eighth Mystic Gate Divine Seed on his spine.
As the Heavenly Might dissipated, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were engaged in a game of chess, with the players deceiving each other.
...
...
The roof was covered in white snow.
Dark clouds came and went, disappearing in an instant.
Warm sunlight poured through the doorway, casting a golden glow on the ground.
Li Che stretched lazily, his muscles and bones cracking in response.
After the intense seclusion and battle with the imperial army, Li Che had not stopped his cultivation.
Unknowingly, several days had passed.
Stepping out of the house, Zhang Ya, Xi Xi, and Jin Taishui were all cultivating in the courtyard.
They lit up at the sight of Li Che.
"Husband!"
"Father!"
The mother and daughter called out almost simultaneously.
Then, they both ran towards Li Che.
Li Che opened his arms with a warm smile, embracing his wife and daughter like a mother bird returning to her nest.
What more could a man ask for in life? Li Che gently rubbed their heads, and the two, big and small, clung to him in dependence.
The sharpness in Li Che's eyes softened, replaced by a hint of gentleness.
"Master."
The Golden Furry Dog, upon seeing Li Che emerge from seclusion, respectfully clenched his fist in greeting.
Li Che glanced at the Golden Furry Dog, and his gaze revealed a slight glimmer of strangeness.
"Transform into the Golden Lion King and let me take a look."
Li Che instructed.
The Golden Furry Dog was momentarily stunned.
"Okay!"
Without hesitation, the Golden Furry Dog's blood and energy surged, and his body began to expand. His flesh grew, as if constantly regenerating, and thick, enormous veins swelled up.
In just a few breaths, a golden lion king's shadow appeared behind him, and the Golden Furry Dog completely transformed into the Golden Lion King.
A dense and mighty demonic aura instantly spread from the transformed Golden Lion King.
The Golden Lion King's massive figure stood in the courtyard, resembling a small mountain.
Roar!!!
With a roar, the snow on the roof of the courtyard shook and slid down.
Li Che's eyes lit up.
In his chest, the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Fruit, a Dao Fruit, pulsated vigorously.
Li Che clenched his fist, as if grasping the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Fruit.
In an instant, Li Che appeared before the Golden Lion King with a light tap of his toes.
The Golden Furry Dog tilted his head.
Li Che extended his hand and placed it on the lion king's forehead.
In that moment, the terrifying demonic energy seemed to have found its source, frantically surging towards the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Fruit in Li Che's chest.
Then, Li Che witnessed the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Fruit rapidly maturing at an incredible speed!
The Golden Furry Dog, transformed into the Golden Lion King, possessed the combat power of a Martial Saint at the fourth stage, and among the demon race, he was akin to a Demon King.
The Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Fruit was merely a newly born Dao Fruit, similar to Li Che's previous Dao Fruits like the Immortal Art and Lion Elephant Vajra, which he had cultivated and transformed from a lowly realm.
This Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Fruit... from its debut, faced the highest level, greedily absorbing the high-level demonic energy, making it seem insatiably greedy.
The Golden Furry Dog felt his demonic energy rapidly depleting.
