Chapter 526: Immortal Craftsmanship Fuses Ancient Symbols to Create an Eternal Mechanism, the Golden Sun Phoenix Dominates the Imperial Capital, the Emperor Kneels (Part 1)
The Huntgod Assassin is the most elite killer the Huntgod Pavilion can deploy in the mortal world.
Each Huntgod Assassin is a cultivator of the Divine Tribulation Realm, making them formidable by any mortal standard.
However, in the Strange Abyss, mere Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators are not enough to stand out, but if one wishes to act in the mortal world, only a cultivator who has survived one divine tribulation can do so.
But for Li Che, such a level of assassin is indeed too weak.
When Li Che deflected the killer's blade with the Water Tribulation technique, he silently launched a Thunder Chess Token, which fused with the killer's body.
Thus, when the killer, upon failing, chose to flee, Li Che only needed to use the Thunder Chess Token to apprehend him.
A powerful Divine Will forcefully drilled into the killer's mind, and with a single turn, Li Che learned the identity of the person who had hired the Huntgod Pavilion assassin.
"So it's..."
"The Emperor of Great Jing..."
Li Che's face remained expressionless.
The fact that the employer was the Emperor of Great Jing did not surprise him much.
However, the Emperor of Great Jing, with the help of Su Da, had used the Mandate Power of Great Jing in the Strange Abyss to attack Li Che, only to have the Mandate of Great Jing shattered by Li Che's might.
The damage to the Mandate of Great Jing would inevitably cause a backlash against the Emperor of Great Jing.
Li Che did not expect that, even without him seeking trouble, the Emperor of Great Jing would dare to make the first move.
"Shi Qing's talent has already caught the attention of the Emperor of Great Jing the moment she was born..."
In Li Che's palm, a purple flame slowly flickered to life. This was the Dao Tribulation Fire, the Primordial Dragon Elephant Blaze, which possessed an incredibly destructive power.
He used it to burn the Divine Tribulation Realm assassin to nothingness.
His gaze then turned to Li Shi Qing, who had opened her bright eyes and was grinning at him.
Li Che's eyes softened.
Perhaps awakened by her daughter, Aunt Liu Chun Ming also stirred, opening her eyes to see Li Che, whose face was shrouded in a divine aura, looking deep and unfathomable.
"Ah? Uncle... you..."
Liu Chun Ming was stunned, her eyes widening.
She saw the last remnants of the Divine Tribulation assassin being slowly reduced to ashes by the purple flames...
The slight pressure emanating from the corpse made Liu Chun Ming feel nearly suffocated.
She was not stupid; in fact, she was quite intelligent. She immediately understood what had happened.
Her face turned pale.
Someone wanted to kill Shi Qing!
Was it because of Li Che's blessing and naming?
Or perhaps it was due to Shi Qing's extraordinary talent, which could lead to another formidable existence in the Li family!
With one Li Che and one Li Nuan Xi, if the Li family were to produce another world-class genius, the mortal world might well belong to the Li family!
"Don't worry, it's nothing. Just some small pests, I've taken care of them."
Li Che said calmly.
He then walked over to the cradle and played with the little girl for a while.
The little girl's giggles, indeed, reminded him of how Xi Xi used to laugh when she was young.
After that, Li Che bid farewell to Liu Chun Ming and left, breaking through the air.
Liu Chun Ming's body relaxed, her back drenched in sweat, feeling a wave of fear.
It was too terrifying. Without Li Che's protection, Shi Qing... might have died without anyone noticing!
Who?
Who wanted to kill Shi Qing?!
A newborn baby, with no grudges or enmities.
However, Liu Chun Ming soon became dejected, gently rocking the cradle. The higher the Li family rose, the more advantages and disadvantages there were. They gained fame and status, but they also faced increasing dangers. Good fortune and misfortune always went hand in hand.
As a mother, her concern for her daughter was instinctive.
Her body trembled slightly as she looked at Li Zheng Ran and others who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
Liu Chun Ming bit her lip, planning to ask if they could move to the Divine Sect Gate, or even to the Disciple City.
The honor and respect they received in the Li Family Manor in Qianyuan Dao City...
In the face of her daughter's safety, it was insignificant.
In the Divine Sect Gate, they would be safer.
Liu Chun Ming felt an urgent need, unable to wait to ask, and immediately began packing their belongings, calling for her son Li Cheng Zhou, and heading to the Divine Sect.
...
...
After saving Li Shi Qing from the assassination attempt, Li Che returned to his courtyard.
Zhang Ya was still sweating profusely, diligently practicing martial arts, unaware of what had happened.
Li Che sat in his study, picking up a piece of ordinary wood, the most common kind of wood.
He used a regular iron carving knife, and as he thought, he began to carve the wooden figure.
Wood shavings fell onto the table, and slowly, a lifelike shape emerged from the wood.
Li Che's woodcarving skills had now reached the level of a Semi-Immortal.
Above the Divine Carver, one becomes a Semi-Immortal.
Beyond the Semi-Immortal level, the world was unclear, but Li Che had asked Su Da, who, as a former Divine Being who had once roamed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, had extensive knowledge.
Above the Divine Carver Semi-Immortal lies the Immortal Rank.
Whether it's alchemists, divine symbol masters, or any other professions, the realm beyond the Semi-Immortal is the Immortal Rank.
This is an extremely prestigious level. Even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, any Immortal Rank figure is enough to become a distinguished guest of any faction, a highly sought-after individual.
To achieve the Immortal Rank, one not only needs the recognition and certification of the Cosmic Will but also must have a thorough understanding of a Great Dao!
One must deeply comprehend and wander the River of Great Dao!
Li Che is still somewhat short of the Divine Carver Immortal Rank, but not by much.
The rustling sound of the chisel echoed softly. Li Che enjoyed this peaceful feeling, a sense of tranquility that enveloped his mind.
As he carved, Li Che also pondered.
The Path of Divinity—though he was now a Quasi-Divine, with the aid of the Dao Boat, he could traverse the River of Great Dao, capture Great Dao Divine Engravings, and comprehend them.
However, according to the Path of Divinity, he did not count as a true Divine Being until he ignited the Divine Flame.
He had yet to reach the Divine Flame Realm.
Despite Li Che's extraordinary combat prowess, without the Divine Flame, he was ultimately not a Divine Being...
"I need to maintain a balance between the Divine Path and the Martial Path. My Warrior Immortal Path... I have already inscribed three Great Dao Immortal Engravings, and my Physical Body has manifested Profound Intent, capable of transforming into Wind, Fire, and Water Tribulation Power..."
"In other words, if I were willing, I could step into the Profound Immortal Realm. However, in the Divine Path, I still fall short, unable to act at will."
"Therefore, I should use the Great Dao Divine Engravings to forge a Divine Platform, preparing to ignite the Divine Flame."
Li Che's fingers moved nimbly, the chisel dancing at his fingertips.
Wood chips fluttered and scattered.
For Li Che, forging a Divine Platform was not a difficult task. The Divine Platform relies on Great Dao Divine Engravings, but since his divine nature was exceedingly vast, the platform he forged must be exceptionally strong.
Therefore, the number of Great Dao Divine Engravings required was not small.
"I will draw them from the River of Great Dao..."
Li Che had made his decision.
"Whoosh—"
Li Che blew a gust of air at the carved wooden figure.
Instantly, the wood chips floated up, swirling like dust, as if it were incense smoke falling.
Within the wooden figure, a lifelike image of Xi Xi appeared.
It seemed to blink its eyes and leap out of Li Che's palm, landing on the table and performing a set of boxing moves with a hum and a hah.
Li Che looked at the carved figure of Xi Xi with gentle eyes.
"I wonder how Xi Xi is doing in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths..."
Li Che took a deep breath.
His mind stirred.
The Divine Will floated, appearing within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
The intersecting lines suddenly expanded, forming a vast network in front of him.
Li Che strolled through it, as if walking through the starry sky, like a Divine Being surveying the cosmos, supreme and unrivaled.
With a flick of his finger, a chess piece, shimmering with a faint white light like a star, floated up.
This was the Thunder Chess Token Li Che had left with Xi Xi.
Li Che's mind focused, and the Dao Fruit of the Chess Sage in his chest throbbed intensely, driving its power to try to see Xi Xi's current situation through the Thunder Chess Token.
Buzz—buzz—buzz—
A misty white light shot up from the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, forming a very blurry image.
In the image, there were indistinct figures, and a vague silhouette of a little girl, seemingly engaged in a fight, with streams of light intertwining and surging energy...
Even though the image was very blurry, Li Che immediately recognized the little girl fighting—it had to be the nine-year-old Xi Xi.
"This little girl... even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, she won't be at peace."
Li Che shook his head with a wry smile.
The image was too blurry.
The Cosmic Will of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was extremely powerful, isolating everything.
Li Che's Chess Sage Dao Fruit was only at the fifth transformation stage, and its rank was insufficient to project an image of Xi Xi across the dimensional barrier.
Primarily, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the mortal world were separated by an extremely vast distance, with an incredibly terrifying power isolating them.
Moreover, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the three Immortals who had their will fragments severed during the battle at the Third Prince's Mysterious Temple might have some lingering influence.
This made it extremely difficult for the Chess Sage Dao Fruit to see through the Thunder Chess Token.
In fact, Li Che had once considered whether he could use the Thunder Chess Token's teleportation ability to jump to Xi Xi's side.
However, the moment this thought arose, Li Che abandoned it.
A great terror welled up in his heart. It was possible...
But if he chose to teleport, his Physical Body, his form, might be torn apart and completely annihilated by the spatial powers of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Strange Abyss, and the mortal world during the transition.
"Ultimately, the Dao Fruit’s maturity isn’t high enough yet..."
Li Che let out a sigh.
The Chess Saint Dao Fruit was still at level 7. Li Che needed to find a way to advance it to level 8.
With a thought, he exited the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
In his study, Li Che watched silently as the wooden sculpture of Xi Xi practiced her boxing with great enthusiasm.
After a long while, he stood up, stretched lazily, and his entire body crackled.
He walked out of the room and gave the wooden sculpture to Zhang Ya.
Sweat drenched Zhang Ya’s face as she saw the Xi Xi wooden sculpture Li Che had carved. Tears welled up in her eyes, the longing for her daughter overwhelming her.
"Don’t worry, my dear. You’ll see Xi Xi soon."
Li Che, feeling her pain, gently patted Zhang Ya’s head.
After bidding Zhang Ya farewell, Li Che appeared in the Ink City Purgatory.
His divine aura suddenly retracted, and a surge of vital energy burst forth from his body.
His jet-black, robust hair danced, transforming into a golden hue, and his eyes emitted brilliant lightning, flickering and intertwining.
His fingers, like divine spears, pierced through the void as Li Che began to practice martial arts in Ink City.
A great dragon roared from his spine, and his bones and tendons crackled like thunder!
Then, one by one, golden blood qi vortices began to swirl!
He started practicing the Immortal Seed martial arts, pushing them to their limits!
A punch pushed forward, a furnace stretched across, and as it tipped, flames burned the heavens.
His palm spread wide, and he slapped down, as if a brilliant golden kirin leaped up, trampling the void.
In a bow stance, his back burst with blood qi, like an immortal phoenix spreading its wings, its feathers reaching the heavens, and arrows shot forth, marking the cycle of life and death!
The Ten-Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace, the Kirin Void Suppressing Seal, the Blood-Weeping Immortal Phoenix Life and Death Arrow...
One by one, these profound and powerful Immortal Seed martial arts were displayed by Li Che.
A powerful life force continuously erupted, surging and overwhelming. This was the many Immortal Seed martial arts Li Che used to guide the original Eight Odd Gates Immortal Seeds.
These were the martial arts he intended to use to create his unique cultivation technique, the Eight-Nine Profound Art!
The Eight-Nine Profound Art was a method Li Che created based on his own Warrior Immortal Path, combining the Eight Odd Gates Immortal Seeds with the original nine tribulations to form a top-tier martial arts technique!
Boom—!!
A loud dragon roar echoed, and Li Che’s blood qi surged, boiling and intertwining. Countless thunderbolts erupted, dark golden lightning like divine blades slicing through the void!
The seventh Odd Gate Immortal Seed martial art!
The Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique!
This was the Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique he had learned from the Young Dragon Emperor, a top-tier slaughtering technique passed down from the Young Dragon Emperor’s immortal first-generation bloodline!
Now, it had become Li Che’s seventh Immortal Seed martial art!
In addition to this...
Li Che had an eighth Odd Gate Immortal Seed!
One he had just learned!
Buzz—!!
Li Che’s toes touched down, and he seemed to rise into the air, emitting an unprecedented and overwhelming aura, rolling out like the Cosmic Will!
His fingers clenched, and an ancient rune appeared in his palm. As the rune flickered, the void itself cracked!
Countless blood qi erupted, and golden blood qi flowed like a waterfall, then condensed into the shape of a golden guillotine in mid-air...
On the guillotine, an ancient rune flickered!
This was a supreme martial art that Li Che had created by emulating the Heavenly Will Guillotine, refining the ancient rune on the guillotine!
It was on par with the Battle Victory Secret Technique passed down by Qi Tian!
Buzz—!!
This was Li Che’s eighth Odd Gate Immortal Seed martial art!
With a long howl, his golden hair hanging down, Li Che’s great dragon roared from his spine, echoing through the nine heavens. The eighth blood qi vortex swirled, vast and profound!
Then, the golden guillotine floating in the sky, emitting countless mysterious currents, slowly merged with the eighth blood qi vortex!
Rumble—
Li Che’s blood qi grew even more turbulent, surging like a breached river, constantly erupting!
The Nine Heaven Symbols Blade!
The final Immortal Seed martial art!
The power continued to surge, and the three Great Dao Immortal Engravings on Li Che’s body intertwined with a resounding clatter, like the most exquisite patterns, covering his entire body.
Like divine chains of order locking himself down, they clattered and resonated, forming one brilliant line after another, as if the tangible manifestation of the Great Dao!
Li Che felt an unprecedented power!
Now, with the explosion of his Warrior Immortal body, triggering eight Odd Gate Immortal Seeds and unleashing the martial arts, the power was enough to easily kill a Divine Being at the initial Divine Flame Realm!
Even a late-stage Divine Flame Realm Divine Being like the Three-Transforming Golden Toad, Li Che was confident he could defeat with his overwhelming power!
Floating in the air, his body shimmering with golden light, the Great Dao Immortal Engravings intertwining, it was like a dream.
After a long while, his aura gradually calmed down.
This Nine Heaven Symbols Blade, Li Che had been refining for some time.
Practicing martial arts, cultivating his spirit, and refining the Dao Tribulation—this had been Li Che’s daily routine during this period of peace, spending a large part of each day in cultivation.
Li Che understood that to protect his daughter, to safeguard his wife and child, and to support his family, he needed to become strong enough.
In his previous life, in a world where money was supreme, he would have worked tirelessly to earn it!
But in this world, where power ruled, he needed to strengthen himself.
"Unfortunately, with the Nine Heaven Symbols Blade, I've only managed to depict one ancient rune. If I could depict the others, this divine martial technique, stolen from the heavens, would be even more powerful."
"The [Ancient Heaven Rune] is profoundly mysterious, and the difficulty is evident."
Li Che closed his eyes, and in the next moment, he opened them.
The Golden Wheel of Time spun behind him, its resonant sound echoing continuously, as if the power of time and space were manifesting.
Suddenly, in the sky above Ink City's Purgatory, the flow of time was reversed.
The scene where the Heavenly Will Guillotine lit up with nine ancient runes and effortlessly shattered the boss's bronze pot was replayed.
The nine ancient runes flickered and intertwined, radiating an eternal brilliance, dazzling as if they were suppressing an entire universe of star rivers!
Though only nine runes, they contained intricate and complex meanings and transformations...
Countless transformations, from simple to complex, and then back to simplicity, compressing all the profound truths of the Dao into these nine runes.
Li Che's heart suddenly resonated, and his eyes sparkled with light.
His fingers trembled, and endless sword qi erupted from his palms, slicing through the air.
The air currents were cut, leaving behind nine ancient divine seals!
The divine seals rotated, exactly the Nine Divine Mechanism Seals that Li Che had once cultivated!
Based on the mechanical seals learned from the Tang family of Great Jing's mechanical experts, these seals were derived from the Immortal Art Dao Fruit!
Li Che wondered if they shared the same origin!
His heart trembled, his eyes shining brightly, as he began to try to extract the ancient rune condensed on the Nine Heaven Symbols Blade.
He attempted to merge it with the divine seals of the Nine Divine Mechanism Seals...
One failure after another!
Suddenly—
A loud boom!
The entire world seemed to shake!
"Hmm? There's a reaction!"
