Chapter 519: You Have an Immortal Artifact, I Have a Golden Chef's Knife, Yet Amidst the Mortal Worl
Chapter 519: You Have an Immortal Artifact, I Have a Golden Chef's Knife, Yet Amidst the Mortal World, He Remains a Youth (Part 2)
This was one of the reasons why the Pure Mind Dao Guo could quickly achieve the sixth transformation!
After Li Che broke through the martial immortal stage, his blood and energy were boundless and powerful, and this was while triggering the seven peculiar immortal seeds.
Boom, boom, boom—
It was as if the sound of waves washing away, constantly resounding. He could feel his essence, energy, and spirit rapidly growing stronger. At the level of "god," he was surpassing his past, connecting with heaven and earth, and condensing divine thoughts.
Divine thoughts—this was a power that only those who ignited the divine fire and became divine beings could possess. Li Che, at the moment his Dao Guo completed the sixth transformation, gained control over this power!
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Divinity surged like a tidal wave, transforming into a substantial long river.
Li Che's spirit was tense, and the overwhelming immortal pressure, like a mountain about to collapse, vanished without a trace in this moment.
It was blocked by the power of the Pure Mind, and the power of the Dao Guo during the transformation was mysteriously incomprehensible.
Li Che exhaled a breath.
Li Che felt an extreme urgency because he was well aware of his current situation.
The will of three immortal beings descended, passing through the mysterious Guique and arriving in the mortal world, their purpose directly targeting Xi Xi...
Even Li Che felt powerless in the face of such a situation.
Li Che had already improved very quickly, but he had underestimated the importance of the Prison Lotus's daughter to the gods.
Even immortal divine beings were so concerned about Xi Xi because Xi Xi's destined path had been slightly altered by Li Che, prompting them to descend with great fanfare, intending to correct Xi Xi's deviation.
This feeling...
It was as if the protagonist of a novel had just reincarnated, only to be personally killed off by the behind-the-scenes existence of the book, without giving any time for development.
These immortal divine beings did not follow any predictable patterns!
In the heavens and earth, all sounds disappeared, completely isolating his ears from the wind, pressure, and space-tearing noises. Only the beating of the Pure Mind Dao Guo remained.
In an instant.
His mind was pulled by a powerful force, even in the face of an extremely dangerous battlefield with the will of three immortals descending from the nine heavens and ten earths...
Li Che still resolutely chose to accept it.
He wanted to become stronger, even if it was just a little bit. But if it could help him when facing the immortals, Li Che was willing to give it a try!
His mind spanned across mountains and rivers, stars shifted, and it was as if countless stars were chasing after him.
When he opened his eyes, he had indeed arrived in the Dao Tree's space.
A vast breath surged, a mysterious and vast energy greater than that of the immortals, spanning the starry sky. The Dao Tree, towering into the clouds, seemed to want to tear apart heaven and earth!
With the sixth transformation of the Pure Mind Dao Guo, Li Che's greatest feeling was the transformation, growth, and enhancement of his divine thoughts.
These divine thoughts were far more powerful than before, and with a single thought, it was as if countless changes were occurring.
It was like the most ancient chip had been replaced with the most advanced one!
With a single thought, countless changes were born and perished in the flow.
The Dao Tree swayed, and Li Che immediately saw the Pure Mind Dao Guo, perhaps because it sensed Li Che's urgent mental state at this moment.
The Pure Mind Dao Guo, with its seven-colored flowing light, descended, and in an instant, countless hazy mists rolled in, and the scene suddenly changed.
A calm long river appeared before Li Che's eyes.
The river flowed calmly, like the serene mind of an individual. On the river, a floating leaf swayed, and a figure sat atop it.
The owner of the Daoist fruit!
The thought flashed through Li Che's mind, and he instantly recognized the figure's identity. The person was ethereal, and their gaze alone calmed Li Che, soothing the anxiety within him, and he felt no agitation.
Just like when he witnessed the Dragon Elephant Vajra Daoist Fruit's sixth transformation!
Indeed, he had seen the owner of the Pure Mind Daoist Fruit!
Li Che took a deep breath, his heart pounding.
The sound of rushing water filled the air, the river's gentle flow creating a serene atmosphere, softly echoing in his ears.
"You are very anxious."
The owner of the Pure Mind Daoist Fruit sat cross-legged on the floating leaf, their white robe billowing in the wind, appearing otherworldly like an immortal. Countless Daoist talismans surrounded them as they gazed at Li Che and spoke softly.
Li Che realized that the person had transcended time and space, engaging in a conversation with him across the river.
Perhaps this was an opportunity presented by the sixth transformation of the Daoist Fruit.
A chance to converse with the owner of the Daoist Fruit.
"There are divine beings who wish to harm my daughter. I only want to protect her, to let her grow up safely and quietly, undisturbed by any troubles..."
Li Che's heart calmed as he sat cross-legged on the river, which remained still. The river's surface, like a mirror, rippled with waves.
Li Che felt like his bottom was sitting in a patch of soft mud, as if it had sunk slightly into the water.
"Why... why is it so difficult?"
Li Che sighed.
He only wanted to watch his daughter grow up peacefully, cultivate his Daoist Fruit, strengthen and grow, becoming the greatest protector for his daughter.
But why was it so hard?
Divine beings coveted her, and immortals descended...
All because he, Li Che, had sheltered his daughter, allowing Xi Xi to live in this era of divine tides without having to stain herself with blood, kill enemies, or trample over mountains of corpses and seas of blood like in the past.
To protect his daughter, he had used every means at his disposal, even giving up his martial arts cultivation, falling from the path of martial immortality and becoming a divine cultivator.
The river remained calm, and the floating leaf drifted quietly.
The owner of the Daoist Fruit sat atop it, listening attentively to Li Che's confession.
After a long while, Li Che finished speaking.
The owner of the Daoist Fruit smiled gently, "As long as you have a clear conscience, that's all that matters."
Li Che's heart stirred slightly.
"People need to have faith, a firm belief that can grant you boundless power. This power is enough to withstand all calamities."
"What is purity? Is it staying virtuous and avoiding worldly dust? No, it's about entering the mortal world, facing all kinds of karma, and enduring countless disasters while maintaining one's true self. That is purity."
"Dive into the mortal world, then rise above it, returning as a youth, that is purity."
"A clear conscience, a heart without regrets, is purity."
"Our conversation across the river of time is fate. Purity is an immeasurable power. When you understand what purity truly is, perhaps you can reverse some of the regrets lingering in your heart and embark on the path you wish to continue."
"Purity is the purity of the heart, emerging from the mud without being stained, that is purity..."
A thunderous roar filled the air.
The calm river began to stir, and as the owner of the Daoist Fruit conversed with Li Che, the Great Way River seemed to explode with power, and an incredibly strong aura burst forth from the owner of the Daoist Fruit!
Their dazzling eyes were like pure white light, cleansing the soul, calming the storm within.
Li Che sat on the river's surface, his body rising and falling with the waves, feeling as if he were drifting with the flow.
He listened intently, his anxiety fading as he immersed himself in this conversation that transcended time.
Listening to the teachings and experiences passed down by the previous owner of the Daoist Fruit.
Li Che had once listened to the teachings of the owner of the Martial Daoist Fruit on the river of martial arts.
And now, Li Che sat on the river's surface once again...
In this moment, Li Che suddenly understood the river's name.
The river of the Pure Mind Daoist Fruit...
Was the river of the soul.
...
...
Li Che slowly opened his eyes, returning to reality.
The immense pressure of the immortal divine being felt like an abyss pressing down on Li Che, causing his bones to creak incessantly.
However, at this moment, Li Che's soul was incredibly strong and calm.
Even such a powerful storm couldn't shatter his spirit.
The owners of the Pure Mind Daoist Fruit and the Dragon Elephant Vajra Daoist Fruit followed different paths, one focused on the soul, and the other on the martial arts and the physical body...
Both owners' teachings were unprecedented experiences for Li Che.
The guidance from these predecessors cleared away his confusion about the path ahead.
The teachings of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Daoist Fruit owner dispelled Li Che's doubts after his recent breakthrough to martial immortality.
And the teachings of the Pure Mind Daoist Fruit owner helped Li Che understand the path ahead after his transformation into a divine cultivator. Perhaps he now knew which way to go.
His divine sense expanded significantly.
But compared to the power of immortality, it was still far inferior.
The divine sense within Li Che's apertures expanded, and the originally restless divine sense became much gentler.
Before Li Che, the flowing light condensed like incense smoke, slowly drifting down.
[Daoist Fruit LV8, Sixth Transformation, Daoist Tribulation (Original Pure Heart Stream) Promotion, Pure Mind Daoist Vessel]
A thunderous sound reverberated, as if the heavens were resonating with his soul. In that instant, Li Che felt as if he were listening to a heavenly voice.
The flowing light intertwined and condensed, forming a prompt that appeared before Li Che's eyes.
【Dao Vessel: The Source of Heaven and Earth, Mind Long River, Traveling the Great Way, Seeking Answers Above and Below】
As expected!
The Dao Guo drifted in the Mind Long River, a place of profound mystery and the most mystical realm in the mortal world!
Suddenly, Li Che opened his eyes, and his vision became clear.
Countless divine essences, like floating smoke, surrounded him. His jet-black, robust hair danced in the wind, for his Martial Immortal body had vanished, replaced by divine essence. The golden Martial Immortal blood was long gone, and his blood had transformed into a translucent, blood-red color.
It surged and tumbled within his meridians!
Li Che opened his eyes.
The transformation of achieving Dao Guo didn't take long. At this moment, the white-robed boss's gaze landed on Li Che, their eyes meeting.
Li Che's expression remained unchanged, showing no surprise at the boss's appearance.
The big black dog soared into the air, blocking an Immortal, while on the other side, the Third Prince was doing his best to hold back another Immortal. The boss, with his golden chef's knife, blocked the Immortal Artifact Lotus Light that had ignited divine fire.
All three Immortals were held back.
However, Li Che's mind remained tense, without a hint of relaxation.
The boss, in his white robe, walked forward, the smoke rising straight up without any distortion.
He appeared beside Li Che.
"Dog Smash and I can't take action for too long," the boss said, looking at Li Che as if he had undergone a significant transformation.
Li Che's mind seemed much calmer.
This was a good thing; sometimes, anxiety, anger, and panic only led to mistakes and poor decisions.
When faced with the will of three Immortal Lords, anyone would feel overwhelmed, and Li Che was no exception. But now, he had calmed down.
The boss didn't know what changes had occurred within Li Che.
However, with Li Che's newfound calm, he could think more clearly and devise a plan.
"Is it because of the will of Heaven and Earth?" Li Che asked.
The boss paused and then nodded. "The will of Heaven and Earth... is more complex and domineering than you can imagine."
"Boss, are you the Second Brother Illuminate True Lord?" Li Che asked again.
He spread his five fingers, and the Sanjiao Erlengdao appeared in his hand...
The boss glanced at Li Che, then pinched the cigarette with two fingers, tapping off the ash. "Does it matter?"
"I just have doubts in my heart, seeking answers. Perhaps I'll understand in the future... But knowing early or late doesn't change anything."
Li Che smiled as he spoke.
"You've truly changed; your mind is so calm, and that's good... Your transformation from the Martial Immortal path to the Deity Path is significant. If your mind isn't calm enough, you'll be overwhelmed by the power of the transformation, and your strength will stagnate, unable to progress."
"Only a calm mind can help you cultivate the Deity Path and draw upon the divine essence of Heaven and Earth."
"That's good; now I can rest easy."
The boss spoke calmly.
"I guess so."
The boss added another vague statement.
Li Che's eyebrows rose slightly, understanding the boss's answer.
Was he the Three-Eyed Illuminate True Lord?
Or perhaps not?
Li Che felt a bit lost, as if a thick fog obscured the truth before him.
"In the mortal world, within the Guique, Dog Smash and I can't use our full strength. The restrictions are too great. If we don't consider the consequences, we'll attract the attention of those who watch."
"Dog Smash blocking the Immortal's will is already a transgression of the rules."
The boss said, "So, time is running out."
He looked at Xi Xi.
"Can't you stop the Immortal spirits either? They aren't here in their true forms but as will avatars!" Li Che's frown deepened.
The boss shook his head. "It's not just about the Immortals..."
"Also, don't underestimate the Immortals. After the Divine Fire, there is the merging with the Dao, and only by cutting through the Dao can one attain Nirvana. After Nirvana, one is qualified to step into Immortality..."
"Immortals are the strongest existence under the will of Heaven and Earth..."
The boss looked deeply into Li Che's eyes and spoke softly.
He didn't want Li Che to underestimate the Immortals. Today's battle had shown the power of the Immortals, and if they continued to underestimate them, they might be slapped to death.
If Xi Xi lost her father because of this, it would be too tragic.
"I said it's not just about the Immortals, but because... your appearance has altered the fate of Yulian's Daughter, shaking not only the Immortals of Jiutian Shidi but also the will of Heaven and Earth."
"And also..."
"The will of Heaven and Earth."
The boss took a deep breath and exhaled a swirling cloud of smoke.
"Unless you give up your protection, let everything return to its rightful path, allow Xi Xi to embrace the Prisoner Lotus Curse, follow the predetermined trajectory set by the will of Heaven and Earth, let Xi Xi slaughter countless lives, become numb within, and lose everything..."
"That way, Xi Xi can grow up according to the predetermined path of Heaven's will, become the master of the Prisoner Lotus, and eventually die under the siege of the Immortals of Jiutian Shidi, ending this God Tide and reviving in the next God Tide, repeating the fate of the Prisoner Lotus."
"Like a lotus trapped in a pond, once pure and white, now stained with filth and darkness."
"Hence the name, Prisoner Lotus."
The boss extinguished the cigarette in his hand and took out a pre-rolled one, offering it to Li Che.
His deep eyes were like a boundless starry sky, as if the Milky Way was in his gaze.
He looked at Li Che.
"Continue protecting your daughter, even if it means you might die in this great war."
"Let Xi Xi's fate follow its predetermined path..."
"Li Che."
"As a father..."
"What would you choose?"
