Chapter 478: Xi Xi, Eight Years Old, New Dao Fruit, and the Temporal Golden Wheel (Part 1)
Chapter 478: Xi Xi, Eight Years Old, New Dao Fruit, and the Temporal Golden Wheel (Part 1)
Translucent snowflakes, translucent and delicate, landed on Li Che's palm, lifted by an invisible force, and hovered without falling.
With the gentle breeze, they constantly tumbled, emitting a radiant glow.
The heavy snow fell, covering the black roof, turning it white, and the sound of the falling snow was muffled, echoing in the ears, making one's whole body and mind relax.
"Huff—"
Li Che exhaled slowly, his eyes slightly sparkling, and his weary mind seemed to find solace.
"My daughter Xi Xi is eight years old."
Eight years old!
A winter snowfall signifies that Xi Xi is about to grow a year older.
The once tiny child has finally grown up a lot, but as Xi Xi grows, she seems to be more and more like the older Xi Xi.
Li Che sat in the snow, letting the snowflakes flutter, his face showing a thoughtful expression.
If this world didn't have him as her father, Xi Xi's template, perhaps she would be similar to the older Xi Xi. The fate of the daughter of the Hell Lotus, killing countless gods and Buddhas, creating a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood...
Her personality would also change greatly.
Even when Qi Tian met Xi Xi, he couldn't help but want to protect her. Perhaps, in comparison, Qi Tian felt that the current Xi Xi was happier and better.
The fate of the Hell Lotus...
Li Che's powerful Wu Xian will suddenly surged, and in the Niwan inner scene, it seemed as if infinite divine light shone, and behind him, a Dao tree projected its brilliance, stretching its endless branches and swaying in the sky.
Fate... Would the bond between him and his daughter also be entangled and drawn into this fate?
As a father, he should be like a towering tree, protecting his daughter. This is the responsibility of a father, and there's no need to mention fate. This is the meaning of a father's existence.
Therefore, Li Che needs to solve a series of troubles for Xi Xi, hoping that Xi Xi can grow up slowly under the protection of this tree, quietly and peacefully.
Whether it's the previous Ling Ying Sect, the later Corpse God Sect, or Ji Mo Li... Or, the upcoming battle against the Divine Camp...
Even if the enemy becomes stronger and stronger, Li Che will not have the slightest fear.
His daughter is his treasure, and he will protect her!
Li Che's gaze suddenly deepened.
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
In a single breath, the force within his body uncontrollably erupted, and his Wu Xian will, like a flood, surged and spread in all directions. The snow covering his body instantly evaporated into a stream of air.
Countless heat waves raged, and his eyes burst forth with a deep, abyss-like luster.
It's here.
Even after obtaining numerous Dao fruits, Li Che's mind couldn't calm down. He anticipated the new Dao fruit, like grass that has endured a night of darkness, yearning for the sun's radiance.
Indeed, Li Che currently faces tremendous pressure. The Divine Camp in the Wiles Pavilion has countless strong cultivators who have undergone long years of cultivation and accumulation.
Not to mention those like Qi Tian, who have awakened from the Divine Camp, just the cultivators who have reached the supreme realm of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, they bring considerable pressure to Li Che.
Fortunately, the will of heaven and earth spans the two realms, isolating the possibility of the supreme cultivators from the Wiles Pavilion descending into the mortal world.
This has relieved Li Che of a lot of pressure.
Therefore, Li Che's desire for strength still exists. He wants to become even stronger, and only with power can a father have the confidence to protect his daughter.
Dong!
A deep and distant sound of an ancient bell reverberated.
It was as if the peak of a snow-capped mountain, covered in thick snow, had an ancient bell with traces of the passage of time. It was struck hard by a divine shout, and the sound waves, like ripples, spread in all directions, even emanating from Li Che's body.
Dong dong—
Dong dong dong—
The sound was like thunder, and the gods were drumming! In his chest, every Dao fruit was throbbing, cheering, as if celebrating the arrival of the new Dao fruit.
Boom!
The Wu Xian will seemed to surge at this moment, reaching into the clouds, three thousand zhang high, overlooking the sea of clouds and the cloud tide! His eyebrows began to twist, as if time and space were distorting, and an extremely mysterious vortex appeared, bursting forth with terrifying suction, completely pulling his mind into an endless space.
Familiar...
The vast and ancient world!
...
...
Boom!
The ancient and vast world, without the omnipresent divine nature, was clean and pure, but filled with danger.
Because the wind blowing in the world was the calamity-destroying divine wind that could extinguish the human heart!
The ink-black robe fluttered, and Li Che's black and robust hair danced wildly. He hovered in the air, observing the vast world, and the familiar Dao tree rose from the ground, towering into the sky, with no end in sight.
The Dao tree had undergone significant changes the last time, but this time, it seemed quite ordinary.
However, it wasn't difficult to understand. Last year, Xi Xi's growth from six to seven years old was a stage of transformative growth and change. Xi Xi safely ended her infancy and entered her school-age years.
For Li Che, this was also a significant transformation in his daughter's growth.
And now, from seven to eight years old, there was naturally no change.
The Dao tree was too mysterious and profound. Every leaf seemed to have countless ancient and intricate patterns intertwining and spreading on it, weaving the Dao and its principles.
On the Dao tree, each Dao fruit was like a gem, incubating and hanging above, as if filled with spirituality, swaying and jingling.
The next moment, the ninth Dao fruit appeared.
Xi Xi, eight years old, and the ninth Dao fruit!
The Dao fruit gently fell, and countless rays of light burst forth from it, illuminating the scenes Xi Xi experienced during her seventh year, like a passing parade, dreamlike.
This year, Xi Xi and her friends left the Qianyuan Sect, leaving the protection of their greenhouse, and began their journey, experiencing various killings.
This year, Xi Xi experienced the pain and sadness of separation, witnessing the death of her friends, and her heart underwent tremendous fluctuations.
This year...
The scenes changed, and Li Che watched carefully, reviewing his daughter's year, even though Li Che knew that he had left flying thunder chess pieces on Xi Xi, constantly paying attention to her situation and the dangers she faced.
Buzzing—
The Dao fruit emitted a colorful glow and flew into Li Che's hand.
Li Che knew that as his daughter grew up, he would gain more and more control over the Dao fruits. However, for Li Che, this was a very fulfilling achievement.
After a year of protection, the Dao fruit was finally obtained.
My daughter Xi Xi is eight years old!
...
【Your daughter is eight, her mind is developing, she understands the truth, feels separation, and safely obtains the Dao Fruit "Time-Space Golden Wheel."】
...
A kaleidoscope of misty colors intertwined, slowly piling up before his eyes, then condensing into dreamlike words.
The ninth Dao Fruit! Time-Space Golden Wheel!
This name...
It's quite stimulating!
Involving time and space!
Li Che's eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light burst forth, emanating the power of time and space—an undeniably formidable force of a higher level.
Like a Divine Tribulation powerhouse, he had already harnessed the power of space, capable of shattering dimensions.
However, even a Divine Tribulation cultivator couldn't grasp the power of time.
Time-space, the integration of time and space, meant that just hearing its name would make one aware that this Dao Fruit was something special.
But Li Che was used to this; the Dao Tree bore Dao Fruits with no discernible pattern.
The last time it bore the 'Ten Thousand Demon Emperor' Dao Fruit, and now the 'Time-Space Golden Wheel'—two completely unrelated fruits. How could Li Che predict the nature of the next Dao Fruit?
Nonetheless, this time, Li Che was genuinely excited.
Time-Space Golden Wheel...
It sounded extraordinary.
Boom—
Just as Li Che was immersed in anticipation, a mighty repulsive force surged forth, pushing him out of the vast Dao Tree's space.
He returned to the outer courtyard of the Heaven-Striking Temple.
The courtyard was as quiet as ever, with snow gently falling, and above, the Heavenly Chessboard spanned the sky, isolating the world from prying eyes.
Within his chest, the ninth Dao Fruit, Time-Space Golden Wheel, pulsated faintly.
Compared to the mature Dao Fruits, this newborn one was adorable, its pulsations giving a fleeting sense of a mayfly's glimpse of the sky.
【Time-Space Golden Wheel (Dao Fruit): Time's Swift Steed, Space's Illusory Realm, Golden Wheel's Rotation, Time and Space at My Command】
Buzz—
Misty radiance wove before his eyes, and space seemed to tremble. Everything around him appeared to slow down.
The falling snowflakes seemed to float leisurely, as if time had been slowed down for them.
In front of him, the Dao Fruit's mantra appeared.
Vaguely, Li Che seemed to hear the sound of shattering space, "Kacha kacha kacha," and the ticking of a clock, "Tick tick tick," overlapping to create a strange, soul-shaking sound.
Behind Li Che, two golden rings seemed to appear, penetrating and intertwining, constantly rotating, like a dream.
Vaguely, he felt as if he were controlling time and space.
It was a feeling of...
Divine manipulation.
But soon, this sense of manipulating time and space vanished.
【Dao Fruit (Time-Space Golden Wheel): lv1, 0%】
Li Che silently observed the Dao Fruit's prompt.
The newborn Dao Fruit was adorable, but its pitiful maturity level left him momentarily perplexed.
How could he increase the maturity of this Time-Space Golden Wheel Dao Fruit?
It didn't seem as straightforward as the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, which could be enhanced by absorbing demonic energy.
Time-Space Golden Wheel...
Could it be that he had to shatter space?
Li Che's eyes narrowed, and as he clenched his fist, countless air currents wailed, and his powerful golden bones emitted a dazzling boom. With a fierce punch, a fist-sized deep pit appeared as space couldn't bear the strain.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Turbulent currents intertwined.
For Li Che, tearing space was no challenge, and for a martial immortal, shattering the void was even easier.
But the main issue was...
The Time-Space Golden Wheel Dao Fruit was soft and gentle, like a well-behaved girl, without a hint of movement.
It was nothing like the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, which frantically devoured demonic energy as soon as it opened a deep abyss... It ate whatever was given to it, howling incessantly.
This Time-Space Golden Wheel Dao Fruit was too well-behaved, leaving Li Che unsure of how to nurture it.
He couldn't possibly reverse time, could he? After shattering space and then restoring it, the Time-Space Golden Wheel Dao Fruit showed no signs of improvement, prompting Li Che to sigh softly.
A slight stir in his heart made him stop pondering how to increase the Dao Fruit's maturity.
Instead, he decided to study its basic abilities.
Each Dao Fruit had its fundamental capabilities, like the Long Xiang Jin Gang's 'Diamond Transformation' and 'Sleeping Dragon Elephant,' which were essentially physical enhancement, blood expansion, and aura concealment.
After a brief study, Li Che was pleasantly surprised.
The Time-Space Golden Wheel's basic abilities were divided into two, one related to time and the other to space.
The time ability could create a field where time could be frozen for a second within its range.
Of course, those with powerful cultivation and willpower could break free from this time freeze, causing the second to rapidly decrease to a tenth, a hundredth, or even a ten-thousandth of a second, rendering it almost nonexistent.
However, those with weaker willpower than Li Che would be restricted.
"Heh, another skill to dominate the weak," Li Che laughed, feeling good. Compared to the plain and simple basic skills of some Dao Fruits, this one had an incredibly high upper limit if cultivated.
Currently, it could freeze time for a second, but could it eventually freeze it for a minute, a day, or a year? While it didn't grant complete control over time, as it couldn't rewind or accelerate time, it was still a remarkable ability.
The space-related basic ability was more straightforward—space adaptation.
Li Che tested it, and his entire body seemed to merge with space, allowing him to traverse it instantly, like a fish swimming through water.
Even in the void after shattering space, he could move freely.
It was as if his physique had been altered to adapt to space.
The effect was decent, though it didn't significantly impact actual combat and somewhat overlapped with the Thunder Chess Piece's teleportation ability.
However, Li Che didn't mind.
In fact, he was somewhat excited.
Time-Space Golden Wheel...
Adapting to space, controlling space...
Could he cross space in the future?
Li Che couldn't help but think of his previous life. Could he return by traversing time and space? As the Time-Space Golden Wheel Dao Fruit matured, could he truly break through the barriers of time and space and return to that world that haunted his dreams?
Li Che felt that the intertwining of two lifetimes must have an invisible connection, a bond, a time-space entanglement!
Deep within, Li Che harbored a strong desire to explore this.
With this thought, Li Che's attention to the well-behaved Time-Space Golden Wheel Dao Fruit intensified.
After further studying the newly acquired Dao Guo, Li Che felt incredibly cheerful.
His mind stirred slightly...
...
【Name: Li Che】
【Bond: Li Nuanxi (Daughter)】
【Progress: School Age (8 years old)】
【Dao Guo: Xian Gong (lv7, 20%), Long Xiang Jin Gang (lv7, 60%), Wu Gu Xin (LV7, 20%), Qi Sheng (LV6, 95%), Hua Zhong Xian (lv7, 10%), Lei Ci Dao Ti (lv6, 90%), Meng Tian Shi (lv4, 15%), Wan Yao Di (lv6, 90%), Shi Kong Jin Lun (lv1, 0%)】
...
After the incident of Qi Tian Da Sheng's assault on the Earth Wiles Pavilion, Li Che stayed in Heaven City.
He was waiting for Fang Hanshu to complete the inheritance of Fang Xin Yuan Zu Shi Ye's teachings, and during this time, Li Che naturally didn't slack off in his cultivation, even immersing himself entirely in it.
