Chapter 524: The World in Turmoil, the Li Family Has a Daughter Named Li Shiqing, Xixi at Nine Years Old (Part 1)
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
Li Che’s body trembled violently as if struck by countless powerful forces.
His arms and hands hung limply, the flesh and blood seeming to sag over his bones like a wet cloth.
Between his clasped palms, the Primordial Dragon Elephant Blaze Immortal Engraving reappeared, emerging from the divine path transformation he had undergone. After refining the Primordial Dragon Elephant Blaze to its pinnacle, the disaster force had reached its peak, and an Immortal Engraving had formed, imbued with immortal energy. However, when Li Che switched to the divine path, it had all been erased.
Now, it was sprouting anew, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Li Che planned to reverse the divine path, stripping away the divinity from every drop of his blood to purify his qi and blood, restoring his lineage to its purest form.
The concept was simple: strip away the divine essence from the blood, revert to pure martial cultivation, and then reverse it again to achieve a state of pure immortality.
However, it was far from easy to execute.
The divine essence had fused deeply into the essence of his blood, making it extremely complex to separate. Moreover, his blood was abundant, especially for a top martial artist like Li Che.
The vastness of his blood was like an ocean, each drop incredibly dense and heavy, containing various powerful forces that intertwined, forming a unique and potent bloodline.
A single drop of blood could be as heavy as lead, capable of collapsing the void and shattering mountains.
Thus, this was a monumental task, to extract the divine essence from every drop of blood and reverse the divine path to achieve pure immortality. It seemed like something out of a myth.
Indeed...
If Li Che had cultivated ordinary divine essences, it would have been just that. Fortunately, during his cultivation, he had always transformed the divine essence into Purity Heart Divinity.
And it was this Purity Heart Divinity that gave Li Che the fundamental opportunity to reverse the process!
Tiny golden lights, like stubborn glimmers in the dark fog, tried to tear through the mist and illuminate the world.
This was the radiant light emitted by the golden bones of a Martial Immortal, shining brilliantly, attempting to pierce through the crimson blood mist and reveal its brilliance!
Boom, boom, boom—
Li Che lifted his head and let out a long howl. The Purity Heart Dao Vessel, constructed by his spirit, roared to life.
Instantly, everything around Li Che changed.
Countless Great Dao Engravings intertwined, rippling like waves, spreading out like ripples.
The Great Dao River cascaded down, surging and roaring!
The Mind River!
By cultivating the Purity Heart Dao Fruit to the sixth transformation, Li Che had condensed a Dao Vessel, allowing him to navigate the Great Dao River!
The river’s vibrations were deafening, stimulating the will and reviving the spirit!
In just a moment, Li Che felt himself enter a unique state, akin to sudden enlightenment, surpassing the enlightenment feedback provided by the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit!
It was as if he were submerged in countless cosmic rules!
His entire spirit was immersed in the ocean of the Great Dao!
Li Che felt like a withered plant in a vast desert, nourished by sweet rain, reviving and growing strong!
His body was undergoing a unique transformation, giving him an indescribable feeling.
The surging Great Dao River seemed to enlighten him about the purpose of cultivation, the ultimate goal of which lay at the end of the river, where the soul transcended, life surpassed, and self-awareness ascended!
The Dao Vessel navigated the Mind River, moving upstream, realizing the value of self-evolution!
Cultivation was evolution, a qualitative leap in the hierarchy of life, transcending the constraints of the cosmos, breaking free from the shackles of existence, and coexisting with the universe, shining as brightly as the sun and moon, truly immortal!
This, perhaps, was the essence of immortality!
“I want to live forever, to be immortal, to share the same lifespan as the universe, to shine as brightly as the sun and moon, to become the universe, and even transcend it!”
Li Che suddenly opened his eyes, feeling a stir in his spirit.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Under his emaciated flesh, Li Che’s eyes snapped open, filled with crimson, madness, and a kind of frenzy.
"This will... Is it the temptation of the Great Dao River? The corruption of the Cosmic Will?"
“If I can’t resist the temptation, I might drown in the Mind River, becoming a part of the cosmic Dao, ultimately losing myself, with my soul and body separating, losing the meaning of life.”
Li Che exhaled, his heart trembling.
He quickly calmed himself down.
Under the illumination of the Mind River, Li Che’s divine consciousness became incredibly powerful, his perception expanding a thousandfold.
His spirit, like a dense spider web, extended countless tendrils, piercing into every drop of floating blood, extracting the Purity Heart Divinity from the qi and blood!
An excruciating pain, as if originating from the depths of his soul, surged like a tidal wave!
Li Che gritted his teeth, unable to suppress a groan.
The path of Martial Immortality was something Li Che did not intend to abandon. Compared to the divine path, the path of Martial Immortality might be the only chance to break through the barrier of immortality.
The path of the Martial Immortal is born in the mortal world, and only in the mortal world can one have the means to walk this path.
In the mortal world, with the aid of overwhelming martial fortune, reaching the realm of Human Immortal is already the peak.
Can the path ahead truly be navigated?
Does the Way of Martial Arts have a future?
The master of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit described the realms beyond Human Immortal to Li Che—Mystic Immortal, Eternal Celestial Immortal, and more.
So, Li Che decided to continue on this path.
Boom—!!!
Countless Great Dao Engravings intertwined and merged into the river, like a curtain hanging from the sky, descending from the heavens of Ink City Purgatory, creating a stunning impact.
Although Ink City Purgatory is a special place, every time Li Che practiced, he could feel the aura of the Great Dao. Thus, Li Che was well aware that Ink City Purgatory...
had not yet transcended the Three Realms. Although it is a small paradise, it still falls under the domain of the Cosmic Will, similar to a special abyss.
In terms of strength, it might be comparable to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths' special abysses.
One chain after another of Order Divine Chains, the Heavenly Dao Engravings, shone like brilliant waterfalls, plummeting nine thousand feet, intertwining with the radiant Mind River, impacting Li Che's back.
Countless blood mists, like blood agates, chimed softly. Li Che navigated the Mind River on his Great Dao Vessel, expanding his spirit and making his Divine Being thoughts even more formidable.
The speed at which he extracted the Purity Heart Divinity from his blood essence was getting faster.
But there was too much, too much blood essence. The pure martial blood essence of a Martial Immortal was like a vast ocean, boundless and surging!
It seemed that his past actions had led to this present outcome. The vast ocean of martial blood essence that Li Che had cultivated with such joy in the past now brought him pain and torment as he extracted the Purity Heart Divinity.
Li Che sighed. What else could he do?
The blood essence he had built up could only be stripped away by himself.
However, during this process, Li Che's Divine Being thoughts grew even stronger. His powerful Divine Being thoughts were almost ready to penetrate the Great Dao River, and even without a Great Dao Vessel, he could persist in the river for half a breath without being extinguished!
Li Che suddenly thought, could it be that...
the cultivation of the Divine Being realm, when traveling on the Great Dao River, relies on Divine Being thoughts?
And with his Great Dao Vessel, Li Che had a significant advantage over many other Divine Beings.
Li Che's heart was stirred, his emotions soaring. His Divine Being thoughts seemed to glow, resonating with the Great Dao Engravings on the river. Then, ancient scriptures and symbols began to emerge from the river, one after another, shining brightly and resonating with the Divine Being thoughts of heaven and earth!
Li Che immersed himself in this state, losing track of time.
His entire being fell into a state of cultivation, his Divine Being thoughts rapidly revolving, stripping away the Purity Heart Divinity every moment.
Suddenly, white and golden light began to slowly emerge.
The white light was the Purity Heart Divinity, misty and ethereal, while the golden light was the color of pure martial blood essence, emitting a shimmering glow.
Time seemed to become chaotic, losing all sense of passage, numbingly flowing by, until a long period had passed...
Ink City Purgatory.
The entire city was enveloped in an extremely terrifying pressure, causing the city to tremble slightly, sending dust swirling!
On the Ruler's Tower.
A brilliant light shone intensely.
The white light was misty, the golden light was dazzling!
Like the sun and the moon.
In the midst of the white and golden light, a blurry figure sat in a meditative position, emaciated and gaunt.
Suddenly, Li Che's eyes snapped open.
Boom—!
A violent tremor echoed.
On the Ruler's Tower, the white and golden light spheres separated perfectly in a deafening sound.
They were now distinctly divided, like the sun and moon hanging high!
"Success!"
In Li Che's eyes, the left was white, the right was golden, like the flowing waters of a river, emitting a continuous rushing sound.
"After a month, constantly navigating the Mind River with my Great Dao Vessel, achieving a thousandfold reflection, and stripping the Purity Heart Divinity from my blood essence..."
"Now, it is finally a success!"
A look of relief appeared on Li Che's face, and he let out a sigh.
But this was not the end.
Because, now he had only completed the step of separating the divinity from the blood essence.
In the unseen, there seemed to be an intangible power causing turmoil, trying to recombine the two.
If that happened, the blood essence and divinity that Li Che had painstakingly separated over the past month could be ruined.
Li Che needed to sever that unseen connection.
Li Che slowly parted his clasped hands, and countless Purity Heart Divinity light spheres began to rapidly coalesce, with Great Dao Engravings and Order Chains intertwining around them.
Rush—Rush—
Li Che suddenly raised his head and let out a long howl. His body trembled, his emaciated skin and radiant golden bones resonated, and the sound of the Great Dao River thundered forth.
It was the River of Martial Dao!
Li Che had once navigated the River of Martial Dao with his Great Dao Vessel!
After the sixth evolution of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, Li Che had sensed the power of the Great Dao River.
It was a river of power on the same level as the Mind River!
Rumbling—
The Great Dao River surged forward like a waterfall, its impact magnificent and dazzling, splashing over Li Che’s physical body. His divine consciousness glowed brilliantly, his eyes shining brightly as he spread his fingers wide and slapped down suddenly.
Instantly, the pure martial qi and blood, stripped of divinity, burst into a radiant golden light, surging into the Great Dao River.
Washed away by the overwhelming and unstoppable power of the Martial Dao River.
Then, it crashed into his physical body.
“Ah—!!!”
Li Che raised his head and let out a long howl. His jet-black, rugged hair danced wildly!
His originally withered and dull muscles gradually filled out as the Martial Dao River flushed the golden martial qi and blood back into his body. Li Che’s physical body seemed to ignite, glowing with an intense brilliance!
Like a torch driving away the darkness, enveloped by countless Great Dao engravings and order rules, it burned fiercely!
Sizzling—
As the flames from the Great Dao engravings burned, all the divinity hidden within Li Che’s physical body was evaporated and transformed into white mist, expelled and cleared out.
The divinity that had penetrated deep into his internal organs, after resisting, was finally completely extracted.
Boom!
In Li Che’s consciousness, everything seemed to become stagnant.
Time stopped, and his consciousness seemed to span millennia, looking back through countless ages. In this moment, he seemed to have undergone a unique and unparalleled transformation!
His divine consciousness trembled, and then a powerful will erupted.
It was a will he knew all too well!
The Will of the Martial Immortal!
This intense Will of the Martial Immortal was like the radiance of the sun, extremely brilliant!
Different from the previous Martial Immortal will, it seemed to have gained more fluidity and variability, becoming even stronger...
The Will of the Mystic Martial Immortal!
Li Che’s eyes shone brightly!
“Exhale—”
“Inhale—”
Each breath seemed to stir the air currents, and Li Che’s eyes shone brightly.
Recovered!
Returned!
The familiar sensation remerged into his physical body. With a long howl, his jet-black, rugged hair danced wildly.
Golden blood instantly flowed into his body, gradually making Li Che’s withered physical body swell and become more robust and solid!
Vibrant life force surged back into his body, and countless Great Dao engravings intertwined with his physical form.
The powerful qi and blood vibrations caused the surrounding air to tremble on different levels, as if it were about to shatter the space around him.
“The Realm of the Martial Immortal... I’m back!”
“And...”
Li Che clenched his fingers, which were like five divine spears, powerful and strong. Instantly, they embedded themselves into the air, digging out five deep pits!
“And... my will is developing mystic nuances, and I’ve found the path to the Mystic Martial Immortal realm!”
Li Che’s heart raced!
Because the information about advancing from the Martial Immortal to the Mystic Martial Immortal realm was something he had learned from his conversation with the Master of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.
However, he was still unclear about the specific methods to break through to the Mystic Martial Immortal realm.
The Mystic Martial Immortal realm was on par with the Divine Path Divine Being.
And the Divine Being realm itself was divided into several stages: Divine Fire, Fusion with the Dao, Cutting the Dao, and Nirvana. These were the four stages of the Divine Being realm, each with a significant gap and a hierarchical difference!
Above the Nirvana Divine Being, there was even the Eternal Divine Being!
Indestructible and eternal!
The Mystic Martial Immortal realm naturally had its own hierarchy, but Li Che knew too little about it. He hadn’t thoroughly discussed it with the Master of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.
Even before, when Li Che had reached the pinnacle of the Martial Immortal realm, able to fight Divine Beings with his Martial Immortal body alone, he still had no clear idea or confidence about how to step into the Mystic Martial Immortal realm!
The Mystic Martial Immortal realm was a forbidden territory, even for Li Che.
But now, after breaking and then rebuilding, Li Che seemed to have touched the edge of that forbidden territory, gaining the qualifications to step into it and become a Mystic Martial Immortal!
Countless golden, flame-like qi and blood scattered, like a brilliant flame in the universe, burning brightly.
Above Li Che’s head, all the Purity Heart Divinity extracted from the divine qi and blood floated like white mist, ethereal and dreamlike.
Li Che raised his hand and touched his brow.
The inner landscape of his Niwan Palace was instantly torn open.
The Seven Apertures Heart leapt and pulsated, and with each beat, it emitted a powerful suction force, drawing the Purity Heart Divinity into the Seven Apertures Heart.
In this moment, the Seven Apertures Heart seemed to contain terrifying power, radiating a formidable Divine Being pressure.
The vast Divine Being divinity gathered within, and once unleashed, it would destroy heaven and earth.
Rushing water sounds echoed continuously.
Surrounded by the Great Dao engravings and order chains, a vague Mind River flowed around the Seven Apertures Heart.
Li Che exhaled a breath.
After absorbing all the Purity Heart Divinity, the Seven Apertures Lustrous Heart slowly descended into the Inner Mud Pellet Space, eventually settling in completely.
This achieved a complete separation of divinity and blood qi.
Li Che felt neither joy nor sorrow. He slowly closed his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly, revealing a hint of solemnity and regret.
"Is this all I can do?"
He silently reflected on his recent actions, reversing the divinity with the Great Dao Vessel to communicate with the Mind River, using the powerful will of a Divine Being to strip the Purity Heart Divinity from his blood qi.
It seemed smooth, but it was actually fraught with danger. The slightest misstep could lead to failure, and then...
Those expanded Divine Being thoughts might completely disintegrate, dissipating and merging into the Mind River.
But now, he had succeeded...
Yet Li Che could not feel any joy.
Because this success only separated the divinity from the blood qi, restoring the previous state. When engaging in combat as a Martial Dao Human Immortal, he could not use his divinity, and when transforming into a Divine Being, he could not use his Martial Dao blood qi...
This created a unique balance and constraint between the two.
"Yes... it's a balance. Once this balance is broken, the conflict between Martial Dao Human Immortal and Divine Being will force a choice, a choice made automatically by the Physical Body, whether it is the Martial Dao suppressing the Divine Path or the Divine Path suppressing the Martial Dao..."
