Chapter 478: Xixi's 8th Birthday, New Dao Guo, Shikong Jinlun, and the Unstoppable Wu Xian

Chapter 478: Xixi's 8th Birthday, New Dao Guo, Shikong Jinlun, and the Unstoppable Wu Xian

The crystal snowflakes, translucent and delicate, landed on Li Che's palm, lifted by an invisible force, and hovered without falling.

With the gentle breeze, they tumbled and scattered, emitting a radiant glow.

The heavy snowfall blanketed the black roof, turning it white, and the sound of the falling snow echoed dully, reverberating in the ears, relaxing both body and mind.

"Hoo—"

Li Che exhaled slowly, his eyes glistening slightly, and his weary spirit seemed to find solace.

"My daughter Xixi is eight years old now."

Eight years old!

A winter snowfall signifies that Xixi is about to turn a year older.

The once tiny child has grown up significantly, but as Xixi grows, she seems to resemble the older Xixi more and more.

Li Che sat in the snow, allowing the falling snow to land on him, his face showing a contemplative expression.

If this world didn't have him as her father, Xixi's template, she might have turned out like the older Xixi—the daughter of Yu Lian, destined to slaughter mountains of corpses and seas of blood, exterminating countless gods and Buddhas...

Her personality might have also undergone a significant change.

Even Qi Tian, upon seeing Xixi, couldn't help but want to protect her, and in comparison, Qi Tian felt that the current Xixi was happier and better off.

The fate of Yu Lian...

Li Che's powerful Wu Xian will surged forth, and within his Niwan Palace, it was as if countless divine lights shone, and a Dao Tree projected its brilliance, its endless branches stretching behind him, swaying in the sky.

Fate... Would the bond between him and his daughter also entangle them in this fate?

As a father, he should protect his daughter like a towering tree, for that is the duty of a father. Forget about fate; this is the meaning of being a father.

Therefore, Li Che needed to resolve a series of troubles for Xixi, hoping that under his protection, she could grow up slowly and quietly.

Whether it was the previous Spirit Infant Sect, the later Corpse God Sect, or even Ji Mo Li... Or the upcoming confrontation with the Pantheon...

No matter how powerful the enemies became, Li Che would not show a trace of fear.

His daughter, his responsibility! Li Che's eyes deepened in an instant.

"Hoo—"

"Inhale—"

With a breath, the energy in his body erupted uncontrollably, and his Wu Xian will surged like a flood, boiling and rushing in all directions. The white snow covering his body instantly evaporated into a stream of air.

Countless heat waves raged, and his eyes shone with a deep, abyssal glow.

Here it comes.

Even after obtaining numerous Dao Guo, Li Che's heart couldn't find peace, and he anticipated the new Dao Guo, like a blade of grass that had endured a night of darkness, yearning for the morning sun's radiance.

Indeed, Li Che faced immense pressure from the Pantheon within the Gui Que, filled with countless powerful beings who had undergone long years of cultivation and accumulation.

Not to mention the gods in the Pantheon who had revived like Qi Tian, even the Three Disasters Tribulation cultivators who had reached the Supreme Realm were a significant pressure for Li Che.

Fortunately, the will of heaven and earth spanned across the two realms, preventing the Supreme Beings from descending into the mortal world.

So, Li Che's desire for strength remained, and he wanted to become even more powerful. Only with strength could a father have the confidence to protect his daughter.

Boom—!!!

An ancient and distant sound of a deep bell reverberated.

It was as if the peak of a towering snow-capped mountain, covered in thick snow, had a bell full of age-old marks, rung by a god's roar, shaking the heavens. The sound waves spread in all directions, rippling like waves, even emanating from Li Che's body.

Boom, boom—

Boom, boom, boom—

The sound was like thunder, a god's drumbeat! In his chest, every Dao Guo was pulsating and cheering, as if celebrating the arrival of the new Dao Guo.

Boom, boom, boom—

The Wu Xian will seemed to surge at this moment, rising higher and higher, as if piercing through the clouds, three thousand feet above, overlooking the sea of clouds! His eyebrows began to twist, as if the space was distorting, and an incredibly mysterious vortex appeared, emitting a terrifying suction force, pulling his spirit into an endless space.

Familiar...

The vast and ancient world!

...

...

Boom, boom, boom—

In this ancient and vast world, there was no omnipresent divine nature, yet it was filled with danger.

Because the wind that blew through the world was the Three Disasters Divine Wind, capable of extinguishing the hearts and minds of all beings!

Li Che's ink-colored robe fluttered, and his jet-black, vigorous hair danced wildly. He hovered in the air, observing the vast world. The familiar Dao Tree rose from the ground, reaching into the heavens, with no end in sight.

The Dao Tree had undergone a significant change the last time, but this time, it seemed ordinary.

However, it wasn't hard to understand. Last year, when Xixi turned seven, it was a stage of growth and transformation, marking the end of her childhood and the beginning of her school-age years.

For Li Che, it was a significant transformation in his daughter's growth.

And now, turning eight, there was no change.

The Dao Tree was too mysterious and profound, and each leaf seemed to have countless intricate and ancient patterns woven upon it, intertwining the Dao and its principles.

On the Dao Tree, the Dao Guos hung like gems, incubating and swaying, as if filled with spirituality, jingling gently.

The next moment, the ninth Dao Guo appeared.

Xixi turned eight, and the ninth Dao Guo emerged!

The Dao Guo descended, emitting countless rays of light, reflecting the scenes Xixi experienced when she was seven years old, like a fleeting glimpse, dreamlike.

This year, Xixi and her friends left the Qian Yuan Shen Zong, the greenhouse that sheltered them, and embarked on a journey of trials and tribulations, facing various battles.

This year, Xixi experienced the pain and sadness of separation, witnessing the death of her friends, and her heart underwent tremendous ups and downs.

This year...

The scenes flashed by, and Li Che watched intently, reviewing his daughter's year. Although Li Che was aware of the dangers Xixi faced, as he had left the Flying Thunder Chess Piece on her, allowing him to monitor her situation at all times.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The Dao Guo emitted a colorful glow and floated into Li Che's hand.

Li Che knew that as his daughter grew, he would gain more and more Dao Guo, but for him, it was a very fulfilling accomplishment.

After a year of protection, the Dao Guo was finally obtained.

My daughter Xi Xi is eight years old!

...

[Your daughter is eight, her mind is gradually awakening, understanding the truth, feeling the separation, and safely obtaining the Dao Fruit 'Shikong Jinlun'.]



...

Multicolored mists intertwined and layered, slowly gathering before his eyes, and then condensed into dreamlike words.

The ninth Dao Fruit! Shikong Jinlun!

This name...

It's quite stimulating! Involving time and space!

Li Che's eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light burst forth, emitting a powerful force of time and space—an undoubtedly formidable power.

Like a powerful being in the Shen Jue, he had already harnessed the power of space, capable of shattering dimensions.

However, the power of time was beyond the grasp of even the Shen Jue.

Time and space, the integration of time and space, meant that just hearing its name, one would know that this Dao Fruit had something special about it! But Li Che was used to it; the Dao Tree bore fruits with no discernible pattern.

The last time it bore the 'Wan Yao Di', and this time it bore the 'Shikong Jinlun'—two completely unrelated fruits. How could Li Che predict the nature of the next Dao Fruit? Yet this time, Li Che's heart was filled with eager anticipation.

Shikong Jinlun...

It sounded extraordinary.

Boom—

Just as Li Che was immersed in his anticipation, a mighty repulsive force surged forth, pushing him out of the vast Dao Tree's space.

He returned to the outer city of Qi Tian Si, to the courtyard with three open sides.

The courtyard was as quiet as ever, with white snow gently falling, and above, the celestial chessboard spanned the sky, intertwining and blocking all perception of the heavens and earth.

Within his chest, the ninth Dao Fruit, Shikong Jinlun, was gently pulsating.

Compared to the mature Dao Fruits, this newborn one was tender and adorable, and as it pulsated, it gave a sense of fleeting existence.

[Shikong Jinlun (Dao Fruit): Time's swiftness, space's emptiness, the golden wheel's rotation, time and space at my command.]



Buzz—

The hazy radiance before his eyes continued to intertwine, and space seemed to tremble. Everything around him seemed to slow down.

The falling snowflakes in the sky appeared to be glued, descending at a much slower pace, as if time had been slowed down for them.

Before his eyes, the Dao Fruit's mantra appeared.

Li Che faintly heard the sound of space shattering, "Ka Ka Ka," and the ticking of time's gears, "Da Da Da," overlapping to create a bizarre sound that seemed to vibrate his soul.

Behind Li Che, it was as if two golden rings appeared, penetrating and intertwining, constantly rotating, dreamlike.

He felt as if he were controlling time and space.

It was like...

A divine sense of manipulation.

But soon, this feeling of manipulating time and space suddenly vanished.

[Dao Fruit (Shikong Jinlun): Lv1, 0%]



Li Che silently observed the Dao Fruit's prompt.

The newborn Dao Fruit was tender and adorable, but seeing its pitiful maturity level, he felt a momentary sense of bewilderment.

How could he increase the maturity of this Shikong Jinlun Dao Fruit?

It didn't seem as straightforward as the Wan Yao Di Dao Fruit, which could be enhanced by absorbing demonic energy.

Shikong Jinlun...

Could it be that he had to shatter space?

Li Che's eyes narrowed, and as he clenched his fist, countless streams of energy wailed, and his powerful golden bones emitted a dazzling blast. With a fierce punch, he created a deep pit the size of a fist as space couldn't bear the burden and shattered.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Turbulent currents intertwined.

For Li Che, tearing through space was no challenge; a martial arts immortal could easily shatter the void.

But the main issue was...

The Shikong Jinlun Dao Fruit was soft and weak, like a well-behaved girl, without a hint of movement.

It was nothing like the Wan Yao Di Dao Fruit, which was like a crazy boy, opening a deep abyss and frantically absorbing demonic energy. It consumed whatever was given to it, howling without end.

This Shikong Jinlun Dao Fruit was too well-behaved, leaving Li Che unsure of how to nurture it.

He couldn't reverse time, could he? After shattering space and then repairing it, the Shikong Jinlun Dao Fruit didn't show any signs of improvement, causing Li Che to sigh softly.

A slight movement in his heart made him stop thinking about how to increase the Dao Fruit's maturity.

Instead, he began to study its basic abilities.

Every Dao Fruit had fundamental capabilities, like the Long Xiang Jin Gang's ability to transform into a golden elephant and sleep like a dragon, which were essentially the strengthening of the physical body, the expansion of energy, and the control of breath.

After a simple study, Li Che was indeed a little surprised.

The Shikong Jinlun's basic abilities were divided into two, one involving time and the other space.

The time ability could create a field where, within its range, time could be frozen for one second.

Of course, those with powerful cultivation and willpower could break free from the time freeze, causing that second to rapidly decrease to a tenth, a hundredth, or even a thousandth of a second, making it virtually non-existent.

However, those with weaker willpower than Li Che would be restricted.

"Hey, another skill to dominate the weak," Li Che laughed, feeling good. Compared to the plain and simple basic skills of some Dao Fruits, if this Dao Fruit's skill was enhanced, its upper limit would be incredibly high!

Currently, it could freeze time for one second, but in the future, could it freeze time for a minute, a day, or even a year? Although it couldn't be called complete control over time, as it couldn't manipulate time reversal or acceleration, it was still a decent ability.

As for the basic ability related to space, it was more straightforward—space adaptation.

Li Che tried it, and his entire body seemed to merge with space, allowing him to instantly traverse and cross it, not by shattering space but by becoming one with it.

Even in the void after shattering space, he could move freely.

It was as if his body had been transformed to adapt to space.

The effect was decent, although it didn't significantly impact actual combat, and it somewhat overlapped with the Fei Lei Qi Zi's teleportation ability.

However, Li Che didn't mind.

He even felt a bit of anticipation.

Shikong Jinlun...

Adapting to space, controlling space...

In the future, could he cross space?

Li Che couldn't help but think of his previous life's world. Could he return by crossing through time and space? As the Shikong Jinlun Dao Fruit matured, could he truly break through the barriers of time and space and go back to that world that haunted his dreams?

Li Che always felt that the intertwining of two lifetimes must have an invisible connection—a bond, a temporal entanglement!

Deep within Li Che's heart, there was a surge of curiosity to explore this further.

With this thought, Li Che's attention to this well-behaved Shikong Jinlun Dao Fruit intensified.

After further studying the newly acquired Dao Guo, Li Che's mood was extremely cheerful.

His heart moved slightly.

...

【Name: Li Che】

【Bond: Li Nuan Xi (daughter)】

【Progress: School Age (8 years old)】

【Dao Guo: Xian Gong (lv7, 20%), Long Xiang Jin Gang (lv7, 60%), Wu Gou 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%), Shikong Jinlun (lv1, 0%)】

...

After Qi Tian Da Sheng's assault on the Di Gui Que came to an end.

Li Che stayed in Qitian City.

He was waiting for Fang Han Shu to complete the inheritance of Fang Xin Yuan Zu Shi Ye, and during this time, Li Che naturally did not slack off in his cultivation, even becoming fully immersed in it.

The maturity of the Dao Guo had improved slightly, but the progress was not significant. Without external stimuli, the advancement of the Dao Guo had always been slow.

This was because Li Che had been diligently cultivating in various areas, including martial arts, divine cultivation, and divine carving, allowing him to benefit from all aspects.

Li Che also understood that as the number of Dao Guo increased, his energy was ultimately limited. At least, before achieving longevity, he could only focus on developing some Dao Guo that would help improve his strength.

Of course, aside from the increased maturity of the Dao Guo.

After a year of effort, Li Che's progress in his Dao Jie was also very encouraging.

【Dao Jie: Yuan Chu Long Xiang Yan (40%), Yuan Chu Zhan Kong Bao (10%), Yuan Chu Di Xin Liu (10%), Yuan Chu Ku Rong Zhi (5%)】

All four original Dao Jie had improved to varying degrees! After integrating them into the Qi Men Xian Zhong Wu Xue, the power of Xian Zhong Wu Xue was further unleashed.

Yuan Chu Xian Zhong, this was the name Li Che gave to his improved martial arts.

It sounded extraordinary.

Smiling, Li Che's heart moved, and his entire person disappeared from the courtyard, reappearing in Mo Cheng Feng Du.

With a clenched fist, the San Jian Liang Ren Dao instantly fell into his hand, clanging loudly, and countless sword lights raged wildly.

Without a single mistake, Li Che began to demonstrate the Dou Zhan Sheng Mi Shu!

Dou character secret!

Li Che had only cultivated the Dou character secret, which was considered the entry-level of the Dou character secret.

This secret technique was not limited to staff techniques but was a killing and combat secret art, greatly enhancing the martial immortal's willpower.

Li Che felt that this secret art was extremely suitable for him, or rather, it was a perfect fit for pure martial arts martial immortals!

After practicing martial arts for a while, Li Che began to cultivate Xian Zhong Wu Xue.

With a snap of his fingers, the Fan Hai Jiu Ying and Guai Li Zhu Huai instantly appeared, and the two ferocious beasts roared madly in Mo Cheng Feng Du.

They had become accustomed to being tormented by their master over the past year.

These two ferocious beasts were extremely powerful, and Li Che had no burden in using them for practice.

After a fierce battle that shook the heavens and the earth, the city of Mo Cheng was left with numerous cracks.

Li Che finally ended his cultivation for the day.

Leaving the Niu Mo Yun Tan, he returned to another large courtyard, which was spacious and airy. His wife, Zhang Ya, was cultivating with great enthusiasm in the courtyard.

Li Qingshan, Mu Po Po, and others had also been brought over from Qian Yuan Dao City.

After eating the Pan Tao, Mu Po Po's condition improved significantly, and her old appearance faded, allowing her to start cultivating again, although the results were not very noticeable.

When Li Che returned to the courtyard, he joined Zhang Ya and, along with Li Qingshan, Mu Po Po, Yun E, Zhou Peng, Jin Tai Sui, and Jin Mao Hou, headed towards the restaurant where the boss was located.

This year, not many people accompanied Xixi for her birthday, as many were still in Qian Yuan Dao City and couldn't make it.

However, it was still a lively occasion.

Although Fang Han Shu was in seclusion, Li Che did not treat him as a Ju Shen. Although he could sense many things if he wanted to, he had almost completely cut off his connection with Fang Han Shu, making Fang Han Shu no different from an ordinary living person, except for his Ju Shen characteristics of immortality.

They arrived at the restaurant, where the boss was busy in the kitchen preparing Xixi's eighth birthday banquet.

Xixi sat cross-legged in the spacious area in front of the restaurant, her two braids reaching up to the sky.

As she sat on the ground, divine energy surged within her.

With a glance, Li Che knew that Xixi was at a critical moment of breaking through her realm.

Li Qingshan and the others naturally noticed the change and became quiet, watching silently.

Gou Ye was protecting Xixi, but breaking through within the restaurant's range wouldn't pose any danger to disrupting her progress.

Boom—

After a long time, inside the restaurant, divine energy fluctuated, as if there was a sign of a major eruption.

Xixi's divine energy gradually calmed down.

The Yu Lian divine pattern on her forehead seemed to come to life.

Boom—

A black Yu Lian flame intertwined, forming a black flame lotus that hovered above Xixi's head.

It was the power of the Yu Lian curse.

As Xixi's cultivation broke through again, this Yu Lian curse became even more terrifying! When Xixi breaks through to the Shen Tai realm, this curse will inevitably erupt and devour her will.

This was Xixi's calamity, an unavoidable fate.

Li Che had asked the Qi Tian Temple deity, who said that it depended on Xixi's own growth and improvement. Otherwise, once devoured by the Yu Lian curse, Xixi would change towards the direction of the Yu Lian maiden.

As for whether this change was good or bad, even Qi Tian couldn't say for sure.

He only said that once the Yu Lian maiden awakens, she will undoubtedly become the target of all gods' suppression. At that time, the Yu Lian maiden must slaughter her way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood to break through all obstacles.

Li Che had no better solution for this curse, as it was a curse that entangled the soul.

Therefore, every time Xixi's cultivation improved, it was like a countdown to a curse eruption...

"Hei Xu Mi... Damn it."

Li Che cursed Hei Xu Mi daily, filled with murderous intent.

One day, he would slaughter Hei Xu Mi, and their Buddha heads would roll!

If not for the scheming of the Hei Xu Mi temple deity, how could Xixi have been cursed?!

As the energy calmed down, Xixi slowly opened her eyes, and a vast surge of primordial spirit energy erupted.

A sense of coldness surged in her eyes, and the next moment, she saw Li Che and Zhang Ya, and the coldness in her eyes dissipated.

"Dad, Mom!"

Xixi proudly jumped up from the ground.

Thump, thump, thump, she excitedly rushed to Li Che.

This year, Xixi had been living off the boss, but her cultivation had not fallen behind at all.

"Xixi has broken through to the Shen Yuan realm!"

Xixi put her hands on her hips, extremely proud.

In the realm of the gods, the eight-year-old Shen Yuan Zhenren was awe-inspiring, and her father, Li Che, was no less formidable. But Xi Xi, the little princess, was quickly catching up to her father's prowess.

Xi Xi, the future Empress, was destined to reign supreme over the ages, standing above all others. "Xi Xi, do you want some fried oysters?" Li Che asked, pinching a freshly fried oyster bun from the chef.

"Yes!" Xi Xi eagerly rushed over, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

The birthday banquet was intimate, with a small gathering, but Xi Xi was delighted nonetheless.

In a narrow alley, the orange glow of the street lamps pierced the darkness, illuminating the swirling snowflakes, creating a mesmerizing sight.

The night was filled with dancing shadows and the warm glow of lamps.

Xi Xi, wearing a tiny birthday crown crafted by Li Che, stood with her hands clasped, making a wish before a table laden with steaming delicacies prepared by the chef.

Time seemed to stand still in this peaceful moment.

---

The mountains were blanketed in snow, and the snowflakes continued to fall, freezing the world in a silent embrace.

The night sky was heavy, shrouding the distant mountains in misty clouds, obscuring their shapes.

Snowflakes danced and drifted, as if freezing the entire world.

In the inner city of Qitian, an ominous aura reverberated through the air.

In three directions around the strange temple, three majestic palaces loomed, each housing a figure exuding an aura so terrifying that it could easily shatter space into dust.

These figures were the supreme rulers of the three divine camps of the Strange Que, the Black Xu Mi's Jia Lou An Tian Ting's Xuan Zhen, and the Gui Yao Ku's Tian Lang.

The three Three-Disaster Supremes dominated the inner city, their formidable auras permeating every corner.

"The Earthly Demon Bull has been inactive, only focusing on cultivation. Even the Earthly Horse Face, the elder Li Che of Qian Yuan Shen Zong, has brought his wife and many others to cultivate in the courtyard. The divine nature of Qitian City is indeed more suitable for cultivation."

"The Earthly Realm has been quiet, and the outer city has been in chaos for almost a year. I thought the Earthly Ghost Emperor would intervene, but it seems he doesn't care about the ownership of Qitian City..."

"It's a pity; I wanted to test the true strength of the Martial Immortal."

The voices of the three Supremes echoed and rumbled.

"The Earthly Ghost Emperor has a good relationship with Qitian, but it seems limited... Even with our occupation of Qitian City, he doesn't seem to have the intention to help Qitian reclaim it..."

"I thought the Earthly Ghost Emperor would rush into the inner city to confront us..."

"It's just a Martial Immortal, rare as they are. Even a newly ascended Martial Immortal can only withstand the Second Disaster Divine Tribulation. How can they possibly challenge the Supremes?"

Their conversation was like divine music, carrying a terrifying divine nature that seemed to create a vortex of colliding sounds.

"Qitian's revival is unexpected, but the other gods from the Prison Lotus camp will undoubtedly pay close attention. Whenever the Prison Lotus is involved, the gods will be extremely vigilant..."

"I heard that the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus, the Furious Third Prince, might be the next god to revive. After we deal with Qitian City, we should head there to participate in the grand event of suppressing a god."

"The Qitian Temple God has entered the Earthly Strange Que to fight the immortal gods. It's easy for him to enter, but returning will be difficult. This city is already ruined; we shouldn't waste too much time here."

The voices of the three Supremes clashed and thundered in the void.

Suddenly, the Tian Lang Supreme of Gui Yao Ku slowly opened his wolf-like eyes.

"The chaos in Qitian's outer city should also come to an end."

"Qitian City will be completely under our control. All non-divine forces will be eradicated."

---

The night grew heavy, and countless snowflakes fell, casting a gloomy atmosphere over the entire Qitian City.

After Xi Xi's birthday banquet, everyone returned to their respective courtyards.

Zhang Ya whispered with Xi Xi, while the big black dog eavesdropped with its ears perked up.

Li Che and the chef shared a cigarette.

A powerful aura surged through the air, threatening to tear the night sky apart.

In the inner city of Qitian, the shadows of the Supremes appeared, their voices echoing throughout the city, and their supreme pressure swept through the inner city.

Li Che, with a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at the direction of the inner city, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Supreme..."

Li Che's eyes narrowed, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his gaze.

The inner city of Qitian held the key to Qitian City, and he was determined to reclaim it sooner or later.

However, his chances of victory against the Supremes were slim, especially with three of them present.

In reality, this was the case because the divine camps weren't paying much attention, as the Qitian Temple God had entered the Earthly Strange Que, making Qitian City less of a concern.

Even though Qitian City was located at the border of the Earthly Strange Que and the Inner Strange Que, it didn't hold much allure for the divine camps.

Li Che speculated that the divine camps might already have the path to the Earthly Strange Que.

"The three Supremes probably want to lure out the Earthly Ghost Emperor to test the strength of the human Martial Immortal."

The chef tapped off the ash from his cigarette.

Li Che smiled lightly and did the same, brushing off the cigarette ash.

"They've waited for a year, enduring the chaos for so long, but the Earthly Ghost Emperor hasn't shown himself. They can't wait any longer."

The ancient gates of Qitian's outer city slammed shut.

This sudden development startled the countless cultivators sleeping in the city, filling them with a sense of impending doom.

---

Meanwhile, in the outer city of Qitian.

In a courtyard with three entrances.

Fang Hanshu sat in the courtyard, bathed in moonlight, flipping through the pages of a sacred book. Suddenly, his body trembled slightly.

Between his eyebrows, a jade talisman floated out, glowing with a cold moonlight. With a crisp sound, it shattered into countless starlights, scattering across the heavens and earth.

After a year, he had finally completed the inheritance given to him by his ancestor, Fang Xin Yuan.

Fang Hanshu had fully accepted the inheritance of the Qitian Temple, and with it, the responsibility that came with it.

Fang Hanshu slowly closed the book.

His eyes shone like a starry river in the night.

"My path is complete."

---

In the restaurant, under the orange glow of the lamps.

Li Che extinguished his cigarette, and the smoke dissipated.

He stood up, gazing at Qitian City, where the killing intent was palpable. With his ink-black robe billowing, he stretched lazily.

Behind him, a giant black python coiled, its mouth open, howling at the sky.

The killing intent was about to erupt!

"Since you can't wait, I'll send you all on your way..."

"Let's show you what it means to be a Martial Immortal in the human realm..."

"The Martial Immortal is invincible."
