Chapter 522: The Quadruple-leaf Dao Essence Crystal Feeds Old Huang to Immortality, Stealing the Ancient Symbol of Heaven and Earth (Part 1)
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His heart pounded like a drum, the deafening sound reverberating in his ears, threatening to burst his eardrums.
Li Che stared at the flowing Golden Light prompt before him.
His breath grew slightly hot.
Retrace the Path of Martial Immortal?!
Could he?
Did he still have this opportunity?
Perhaps... he really did. Li Che's heart trembled as he recalled many things, including the time he sat in conversation with the master of the Pure Mind Dao Fruit in the Long River during its sixth transformation.
What is purity? Purity is an unfathomable force at the spiritual level. When one comprehends purity, perhaps they can reverse their regrets and walk the path they truly desire.
Clarity of the heart, emerging from the mire yet remaining unstained—this is purity!
The power of the spirit...
When the spiritual level stabilizes, perhaps it can reverse the Deity Path and Martial Arts!
Li Che's eyes flickered, his heart slightly trembling. He still harbored some attachment to retracing the Path of Martial Immortal.
The reason for this attachment was simple. If Li Che wanted to become strong enough to break through the Immortal Divine Beings' blockade, perhaps retracing the Path of Martial Immortal was the only hope.
Walking the Deity Path, each Immortal Divine Being was an insurmountable mountain.
Of course, it wasn't impossible to overcome, but Immortal Divine Beings, standing at the peak of the Deity Path, could completely block the path for all subsequent practitioners.
Only the Path of Martial Immortal, which was entirely different from the Deity Path, could offer a way to match the path of Immortality.
Even if...
This path was extremely difficult, as no one had ever walked it, and the difficulty was akin to climbing to the heavens. But at least, compared to the Deity Path, which was blocked by the Immortals and offered no hope...
The Path of Martial Immortal was filled with hope and light!
Therefore, if he could return to the Path of Martial Immortal, Li Che would be willing.
The power of divinity always gave Li Che a sense of unreality. Although he had transformed from the Path of Martial Immortal to the Deity Path, converting his golden pure martial blood to divine blood, which had expanded and strengthened tenfold, even a hundredfold...
His combat strength had greatly increased, but ultimately, this terrifying power came from the divine force, which felt somewhat insubstantial and unsteady. If the divine force were to be extinguished, all his strength would vanish.
Li Che exhaled, his heart becoming incredibly strong and calm at that moment.
Golden Light City was perfectly quiet, with pebbles rolling and rustling in the wind left over from the battle.
The Young Dragon Emperor, Sān Biàn Jīn Chán, Su Da, and other divine experts stood before Li Che, bowing their heads, showing him the utmost respect.
Li Che stood there, pondering the cultivation issues between the Path of Martial Immortal and the Deity Path for a while.
Then, he turned to Su Da and the others, his gaze sweeping over them one by one.
His gaze lingered on Sān Biàn Jīn Chán and Sì Hǎi Shén Lóng Wáng, making Sān Biàn Jīn Chán's soul summoning shudder, breaking out in a cold sweat.
For in Li Che's eyes, there seemed to be a different meaning, causing Sān Biàn Jīn Chán to feel a chill, as if he were about to be thrown into a furnace and remade.
Li Che's body was massive and robust, his divine aura flowing like condensed smoke, his eyes narrowing.
Sān Biàn Jīn Chán was a demon, capable of becoming the fourth fiend in the Ten Fiends Ink Map!
And he was a divine being!
If a divine being were transformed into a supreme fiend, could it lead to a significant increase in power?
Li Che was genuinely looking forward to it.
Then there was Sì Hǎi Shén Lóng Wáng...
They were different from the Young Dragon Emperor. Although they were of the ancient dragon clan, their ancestor dragon blood was very diluted, placing them in the demon category, making them eligible for the Ten Fiends Ink Map.
Entering the Ten Fiends Ink Map was not death but a form of rebirth, transforming into a supreme fiend with a significant boost in combat strength and a higher potential for growth!
It was somewhat similar to soul summoning, but with the added benefit of the unique fiendish aura from the Ten Fiends Ink Map.
Li Che's gaze swept over the many divine beings, his heart stirring, ready to get down to business.
Putting aside the integration of the Ten Fiends Ink Map for now.
"Open your cosmic spaces."
Li Che spoke calmly.
However, after a moment's thought, Li Che waved his hand.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself. It's a good opportunity to hone the Time-Space Golden Wheel."
The progress of the Dao Fruit, Time-Space Golden Wheel, had been somewhat slow.
Temporal and spatial powers were inherently difficult to enhance and cultivate.
Buzzing sounds filled the air as Li Che's Divine Spirit Thought stimulated the Time-Space Golden Wheel in his chest. Instantly, a rustling sound resonated, and a golden wheel appeared behind him.
The aura of time and space vibrations spread, and one circle after another, each engraved with ancient Great Dao patterns, intertwined and rotated, producing a series of clicking sounds.
In the next moment, Li Che's gaze swept over a soul summoner and began to probe.
Using the Time-Space Golden Wheel, he located and locked onto the cosmic spaces of these gods.
Cracks appeared, torn open by the Time-Space Golden Wheel, and Li Che's mind delved in, beginning to sense and count.
Buzzing sounds continued as Li Che's eyes suddenly widened, and the overlapping, rotating wheels behind him emitted a brilliant light. Streams of light intertwined around him.
These were the treasures taken from the cosmic spaces of the various soul summoners.
All of them were Dao Essence Crystals!
For gods, the need for divine crystals was not as significant; they required Dao Essence Crystals to refine and accumulate Great Dao patterns, enhancing the intensity of their Godfire and the strength of their cultivated Great Dao.
Luminous divine crystals floated, with leaves spreading out, dreamlike and ethereal. If illuminated, they would emit an unimaginably intricate brilliance.
Apart from the Young Dragon Emperor, whose treasures had already been harvested once, there were a total of 36 gods' treasures!
Among them was the collection of Sān Biàn Jīn Chán, an Immortality descendant only slightly weaker than the Young Dragon Emperor!
It was important to note that Sān Biàn Jīn Chán and the Young Dragon Emperor were different. Sān Biàn Jīn Chán had long since awakened and escaped, sitting in the Guǐ Yāo Kū, amassing a vast amount of treasures from the human world's Guǐquē!
"Whoa—!"
Even Li Che couldn't help but take a deep breath.
So many?!
These were Dao Essence Crystals, not divine crystals!
The lowest rank was the One-Leaf Dao Essence Crystal, and there were only a hundred of them.
On the contrary, the Two-Leaf Dao Essence Crystals numbered eight hundred, leaving Li Che in awe. This was the first time he had seen so many Dao Essence Crystals...
He thought he might be seeing things, mistaking Dao Essence Crystals for divine crystals.
In addition, there were Three-Leaf Dao Essence Crystals, and there were as many as thirty-six!
It was simply astonishing!
Li Che drew a sharp breath, his poverty having limited his imagination. Weren't Three-Leaf Divine Crystals quite rare and extremely valuable?
Suddenly, even Li Che's body couldn't help but tremble, his breathing quickening, his eyes brightening. He clenched his fingers and scooped up something.
In the next moment, countless divine essences seemed to condense into a small sapling in his palm, with the sapling spreading out to reveal four divine leaves!
"Is this... a Four-Leaf Dao Essence Crystal?!"
Li Che's eyes narrowed, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Damn!
Truly... broadening his horizons!
Not only that, but there were not just one but three Four-Leaf Dao Essence Crystals!
They came from Sān Biàn Jīn Chán, Su Da, and Tuō Tǎ Luó Hán!
On the contrary, the heavenly guardians and the Sì Hǎi Shén Lóng Wáng did not have any Four-Leaf Dao Essence Crystals in their cosmic spaces.
Li Che's gaze instantly fell on the Heng and Ha gods and the Sì Hǎi Shén Lóng Wáng.
The gods immediately felt immense shame.
Among them, the Heng and Ha gods, feeling extremely embarrassed, clasped their fists and said, "Even though we are gods, Four-Leaf Dao Essence Crystals are extremely precious. We can only obtain one every five hundred years, and they have all been refined to strengthen our Godfire."
"It will be another hundred years before the next one is issued."
Three-Leaf Dao Essence Crystals were of great help to the Supreme Beings, while Four-Leaf Dao Essence Crystals could already assist gods in their cultivation.
As for the higher-quality Dao Essence Crystals with five leaves or more, they are exceedingly precious and can only be cultivated by gods in the Fusion Dao and Sever Dao realms. Furthermore, in the human world of Guǐquē, it’s impossible to condense and bear Dao Essence Crystals with more than five leaves.
That thing is still inseparably linked to the Great Way Long River.
According to legends, the nine-leaf Dao Essence Crystal, which is so precious that even Immortal Divine Beings are moved by it, is located at the source of the Great Way Long River. It grows one every ten thousand years and is a rare treasure of the world!
Li Che, upon hearing this, didn’t pay much attention and waved his hand.
“No problem.”
Li Che’s enthusiasm gradually cooled down.
Two four-leaf Dao Essence Crystals…
It was truly a great harvest. Li Che looked at the Dao Essence Crystal in his palm, his eyes flickering with a deep light. Suddenly, he snapped his fingers.
Countless divine energies intertwined, and the Dà Dào Shén Wén resonated with a resounding sound, like ribbons cascading down.
Then, a fleshy ball bounced around in the distance, with a vast sword aura seemingly merging with the Dà Dào Shén Wén, surging around the ball.
This fleshy ball was the result of Huang Jianjiu cultivating a Dao Position Pearl. Li Che had been feeding him Dao Essence Crystals, waiting for the day when Huang Jianjiu would break out of the ball.
“Four-leaf Dao Essence Crystal…”
“Old Huang, catch.”
Li Che suddenly threw the four-leaf Dao Essence Crystal, which flew up like a streak of light.
It rapidly shot toward the fleshy ball where Huang Jianjiu was.
The fleshy ball jumped violently, bouncing left and right, like an angry child jumping on the spot, as if expressing his frustration…
No, Lord…
Do you really not want Old Huang to come out?!
Are you planning to feed Old Huang until he becomes an Immortal Divine Being?!
Li Che, of course, had no such intention. It was just that with the soul-summoning of nine gods… even if Huang Jianjiu were to emerge and possess god-like power, it wouldn’t be much help to Li Che.
It was better to let him continue growing.
A newly ignited god, to Li Che, was indeed not very significant.
The fleshy ball swallowed the four-leaf Dao Essence Crystal, as if swallowing it with tears, and continued to grow larger.
Old Huang believed that he would eventually see the light of day!
His sword!
Would surely break through the fleshy ball!
If three years weren’t enough, then it would be another three!
After all, Old Huang believed that Lord Li Che wasn’t some devil!
The treasures of the gods indeed brought Li Che a great windfall, helping to suppress the sadness he felt due to Xī Xī entering Jiutian Shidi and the forced separation from his daughter.
After checking and inventorying for a while, there were indeed many good things.
Treasure herbs, divine materials, and spirit woods of all kinds, exuding a rich divine energy, made Li Che’s eyes dazzle.
Li Che directly summoned Gu Changqing to help divide the items, giving him the treasure herbs and divine materials to continue attempting to refine Martial Arts pills and purify divine energy!
Additionally, the purified divine energy was to be refined into pills that could aid in the cultivation of divine energy.
Li Che was also walking the path of divine energy, so these pills would be useful. However, he hadn’t completely abandoned Martial Arts cultivation, so Martial Arts pills were also essential.
Gu Changqing had plenty of opportunities to refine pills under Li Che, and his alchemy skills had greatly improved, now just a step away from the semi-immortal alchemist level.
In the future, he would likely have the chance to enter the city of Immortal Alchemists!
After inventorying the Dao Essence Crystals, treasure herbs, and divine materials, Li Che’s gaze fell on the divine weapons.
The highest quality among them was the lotus lamp controlled by Su Da, which was at the Immortality rank!
It was a divine weapon controlled by an Immortal Divine Being, containing a dense Immortality aura and pressure. When necessary, if it were activated, it could provide significant assistance.
The other divine weapons were just ordinary Godfire divine weapons, crafted by many Godfire Realm gods using their divine energy and Dà Dào Shén Wén inscriptions.
“The rank of Godfire divine weapons… is roughly equivalent to the Four Regents rank of divine weapons produced in the human world of Guǐquē.”
Li Che’s eyes flickered.
As for that lotus lamp, in terms of quality, it should be at the Three Pure Ones rank. However, because it was inscribed with Immortality divine patterns and contained Immortality aura, it was much stronger than ordinary Three Pure Ones rank divine weapons.
“So, in Jiutian Shidi, the divine weapons controlled by Immortals, compared to the divine weapons in the human world of Guǐquē, are roughly at the Three Pure Ones rank?”
Li Che seemed lost in thought.
Most of the divine weapons of the Three Purities rank that had fallen into the mortal world were temple deity divine weapons, indicating that the Immortal Divine Beings who wielded them had already fallen!
It was quite normal for Immortal Divine Beings to fall.
From the conversation with the Will of Immortality during the battle, Li Che knew that every God Tide was connected to Yulian's Daughter, and the God Tide was the calamity of Immortality.
In every God Tide, Immortal Divine Beings fell, and the number was not just one; at least three Immortal Divine Beings had to fall to bring the tide to an end, according to the rules of Heaven and Earth.
Was the Will of Heaven and Earth trying to maintain the balance of the Ghost Deficiency Realm?
The God Tide was a blade wielded by the Will of Heaven and Earth, and there were nine God Tides in total, each a battle for Immortality across nine lifetimes!
Exhaling slowly, Li Che felt an inexplicable pressure.
The lotus lamp floated in Li Che's palm. It had been struck by the scythe transformed from the Will of Heaven and Earth, causing the Immortal will within to fall into a deep slumber, and the Immortal aura had become much weaker.
However, the power of this lotus lamp mainly lay in its ability to seal!
It could seal time and space, creating a terrifying field of sealing.
Li Che's eyes suddenly lit up: "This lotus lamp contains the Great Dao Script of time and space, engraved with the rules of time and space. It might be of great help to my Time-Space Golden Wheel Dao Fruit."
Thump, thump, thump—
In his chest, the [Time-Space Golden Wheel] Dao Fruit trembled slightly, as if emitting a sense of longing.
"Lord..."
Su Da stepped forward from among the gods, bowing respectfully.
"This lotus lamp is an Immortal divine weapon wielded by the Immortal Ancestor of the Jiutian Shidi Ghost Flute. Lord, do not attempt to refine it; it is very easy to suffer a backlash from the Immortal power within."
"Unless the Immortal Ancestor personally refines it, no one in the mortal world can refine this Immortal Artifact."
"Every Immortal Artifact contains the Great Dao imprint of an Immortal. Mortals cannot refine it, and attempting to do so could result in being refined instead, becoming an Immortal servant."
Su Da hurriedly said, worried that Li Che might be injured or fall victim to the lotus lamp.
Hearing this, Li Che did not say much.
He tossed the Immortal lotus lamp, and the Time-Space Golden Wheel Dao Fruit immediately manifested, as if countless golden wheels were turning, their clanging sounds enveloping the Immortal lotus lamp completely.
As the Time-Space Golden Wheel rotated, the Immortal lotus lamp was enveloped within it. Slowly, the Great Dao Script on the lotus lamp began to dissolve, and gradually, the lotus lamp was being refined bit by bit.
Huh?
Su Da was stunned, her beautiful face filled with shock.
The next moment, she immediately bowed, respectful and tactful.
Li Che sat cross-legged in the ruins of Jin Guang City, atop the city gate, beginning to perfect the transformation he had undergone during the battle.
