Chapter 537: Enlightenment Illuminates the Body, the Starfire Ignites the Path of the Profound Immortal, Li Wuxian, You Must Become a Sinful Man of the World (Part 1)
Humming sounds filled the air.
One after another, brilliant Golden Lotus of Fortune floated around Li Che, slowly rotating as if they were intricate masterpieces crafted by the heavens with great care.
The flowing golden light was dreamlike, and the petals bore incredibly fine patterns, meticulously carved and polished.
These were the Golden Lotus of Fortune that Xie Yunshen had accumulated, now summoned by Li Che to float around him.
On Li Che’s Physical Body, Immortal Markings interwove, eight different types almost covering every inch of his flesh, making him look like a deity straight out of a myth.
Li Che opened his eyes, and the golden light in his pupils shimmered brilliantly, his heart pounding as if the sound of evening drums and morning bells were constantly ringing in his ears, deafening him!
His Physical Body had reached perfection, the ultimate transformation of a human immortal!
Now, Li Che had truly reached the pinnacle of the Martial Immortal state!
The eight Great Dao Immortal Markings continued to spread like intricate patterns, like chains of order, wrapping around his skin and slowly penetrating his flesh and bones!
The Golden Lotus of Fortune sprinkled golden light, like lotus lamps illuminating the air with their brilliant glow.
Speaking of lotus lamps...
Li Che’s fingers spread out, and with a slight movement of his mind, the indestructible artifact, the Lotus Lamp, which he had refined using the Golden Wheel of Time and Space, instantly appeared in his hand.
This Lotus Lamp possessed the power of Space, capable of sealing and traversing it.
Holding the Lotus Lamp, Li Che felt his Divine Spirit expand like the roots of a great tree, plunging into the void, spreading and intertwining endlessly.
With a single thought, he could swiftly travel to any location where his roots extended!
It was somewhat similar to his Thunder Shift technique.
The Lotus Lamp was exquisitely crafted, and now that Li Che had refined it, it greatly assisted him, directly elevating one of his Dao Fruits to the fifth transformation.
Putting away the Lotus Lamp, Li Che’s mind stirred. In reality, Divine Weapons were also a part of one’s strength.
For instance, when he entered the mysterious temple and obtained the Divine Weapon Nine Dragon Ten Thousand Calamity Gas, it significantly boosted his cultivation.
Similarly, the rapid progress of Xi Xi was closely related to the Divine Weapon set of the Third Prince Temple Deity, which fused and refined her body.
Zhang Ya's cultivation was also rapidly increasing, thanks to Su Da's guidance and the energy of the Heavenly River Ornamental Hairpin and the Purifying Bowl, which helped refine her physique.
"However, if I were to impact the Profound Immortal realm, I wouldn’t be able to harness the power of Divine Weapons... But if I were to impact the Divine Being realm, I could indeed use the power of Divine Weapons!"
Li Che’s eyes gleamed with a new idea.
The path of the Martial Immortal, where humans surpass heaven, relies on the Physical Body, on martial arts, and on oneself.
The path of the divine, on the other hand, relies on divinity, which is an external force, a remnant left behind by the gods.
Compared to martial arts, which focus on internal cultivation, the divine path focuses on external forces.
"How should I step onto the path of the Profound Immortal?"
"I have inscribed the Great Dao Immortal Markings on my Physical Body... Eight Great Dao Immortal Markings, transforming my Physical Body into an Immortal Platform."
"Divine Beings transform by igniting Divine Flames and attaining enlightenment from the Supreme Realm."
"What about the path of the Martial Immortal?"
Transforming from a human immortal to a Profound Immortal was a path Li Che had not walked, nor had anyone else, so he could only rely on intuition and feel his way forward.
However, Divine Beings ignite Divine Flames, stimulating the Great Dao and leaving imprints on the River of Dao, like fireworks blooming and burning marks.
Perhaps the martial path could achieve something similar!
Li Che spread his arms, and Immortal Markings interwove, spreading and expanding across his entire body, even to the tips of his nails.
In his eyes, a dense golden smoke swirled.
In an instant...
The Immortal Markings on his Physical Body seemed to come alive, writhing rapidly as if trying to embed themselves into his flesh, as if his body was about to burst, oozing crystal-clear droplets of blood!
Streams of immortal energy surged out, leaping from the great dragon in his spine.
Interweaving around Li Che, the eight streams of immortal energy, influenced by the Golden Lotus of Fortune, transformed like the eight petals of a lotus, rotating and swirling around him.
It made Li Che appear as if he were seated on an eight-colored lotus.
"How do I ignite the fire of the Immortal Platform?"
Li Che’s eyes flickered, lost in deep thought.
Divine Beings ignite Divine Flames, leaving imprints on the Great Dao, but Li Che’s path was different.
He had condensed eight Dao Chaos, meaning he needed to leave imprints on eight different Rivers of Dao simultaneously!
The difficulty of igniting the Dao Fire far surpasses that of igniting a simple flame!
"Igniting the Immortal Platform Dao Fire... how can it be done?"
"Primordial Dragon Elephant Blaze? Sun True Fire of the Golden Crow Carriage? Primordial Star-Shattering Thunder?"
Li Che pondered.
Igniting a flame requires something volatile, and the Dragon Elephant Blaze, Sun True Fire, and Star-Shattering Thunder are all violent energies capable of burning everything in their path.
But can they ignite the Dao Fire?
The Dao itself is an elusive concept. How can it be ignited?
Doubts flooded his mind like a tidal wave, leaving Li Che feeling disoriented and suffocated, unable to grasp the solution.
However, this thought stirred a slight movement in his heart.
"Primordial Star-Shattering Thunder... it is a thunder calamity, inherently volatile. A single bolt of lightning can ignite a mountain fire, burning for thousands of miles..."
"A single spark can start a wildfire. What is needed... is just a spark."
"If I were to impact the Profound Immortal realm, there would surely be a thunder calamity, and it would be a top-tier heavenly thunder calamity. When the thunder calamity strikes, I would be on the brink of life and death. Perhaps, I can use the power of the thunder calamity to ignite a flame on the Immortal Platform, reflecting the Dao and engraving its mark!"
The thought solidified, and Li Che's eyes instantly grew resolute.
He had a clear plan for his transformation from a Human Immortal to a Profound Immortal.
The path ahead, he would forge it himself, tearing through the fog to create his own way!
Humming softly, the Golden Lotus of Fortune quietly revolved, its golden radiance soothing Li Che's spirit and body.
The oppressive feeling in the world diminished significantly under the glow of the Golden Lotus.
"The Golden Lotus of Fortune... it will play a crucial role in breaking through to the Profound Immortal realm!"
"Perhaps, before impacting the Profound Immortal realm, I should first gather all the Golden Lotus of Fortune."
Li Che's eyes opened and closed.
Exhale—Inhale—
Each breath was like the breath of an ancient true dragon, the powerful aura causing ripples in the void.
Li Che's physical body was truly formidable, making him virtually invincible in the human world.
However, Li Che remained humble.
In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, if a Dao-Cutting Divine Being were to appear, Li Che would be at a disadvantage.
To reunite with Xi Xi in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Li Che needed to enhance his cultivation, at least to the point where he could face a Dao-Cutting Divine Being.
Otherwise, seeking out Xi Xi would not be about providing help and protection, but rather becoming a burden.
As a father, Li Che was unwilling to be a hindrance to his daughter.
It would make him feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Moreover, breaking through in cultivation is crucial.
Although he obtained the Nine Dragon Ten Thousand Calamity Gas in the mysterious Yuhuang Temple, he still needed a Divine Weapon to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths...
Among the three Divine Weapons—Seal of Heaven, Heavenly Tower, and Jade Scripture—Li Che was not fixated on the Seal of Heaven.
Weighing the pros and cons, Li Che felt the Heavenly Tower was more suitable for him.
The Seal of Heaven was guarded by a reincarnated divine emperor, a top-tier Nirvana existence. For Li Che to obtain it, he would need to defeat this opponent, which was extremely difficult.
However, the Heavenly Tower had no such restrictions...
All he needed was to win in battle. If he emerged victorious, he could potentially obtain this Divine Weapon.
Therefore, Li Che's breakthrough to the Profound Immortal realm was also to prepare for the attempt to obtain the Heavenly Tower in forty-nine days!
As for the Seal of Heaven, Li Che planned to acquire it once his cultivation reached the level of a Nirvana existence.
Standing up, Li Che's body resonated, and the Golden Lotus of Fortune returned to the small cauldron.
Regardless of his mental calculations, Li Che decided to take action, preparing for his breakthrough by first gathering the Golden Lotus of Fortune in the human world to lay a solid foundation.
Holding his hand, the Lotus Lamp spun.
Li Che directly harnessed the power of this immortal artifact.
Shattering the void, he traversed through space.
...
...
Western Buddhist Land.
On a mountain peak bathed in Buddha light.
Xie Yunshen, dressed in simple clothing, gently fanned himself with a feather fan, wearing a smile.
Standing at the edge of the cliff, he gazed into the distance, where the sun's rays, like a river of light, spread from the horizon, extending endlessly.
"Never did I think that one day, I would stand atop the Western Buddhist Land."
Gently fanning himself, a breeze blew, and Xie Yunshen chuckled.
He was profoundly moved. Once discovered by the Great Jing emperor and entrusted with great hopes, Xie Yunshen's goal was merely to gather the fortune of the Great Jing court.
His aim was to recover the fortune of various divine sects within the Great Jing.
He never imagined expanding his goals to encompass the entire world.
As for conquering the Western Buddhist Land, subjugating numerous thousand-vehicle Buddhist countries, gathering the Western Region's fortune, and condensing the Golden Lotus, these were things he never dared to think about.
"Because the Underworld gods are too powerful..."
The Western Buddhist Land, though backed by the Black Mount Meru, is well aware that the reborn Divine Beings within Black Mount Meru are no match for the Underworld now.
Xie Yunshen stood atop the mountain, gazing at the breathtaking scenery, his heart surging with emotion.
Lu Taibai, Gu Qianchi, and other Divine Tribulation experts stood beside him, equally entranced.
The Western Buddhist Land, though in the mortal realm, was no less powerful than the Great Jing...
And now, the Western Buddhist Land had been conquered and brought under their control.
It was almost unimaginable...
Lu Taibai's expression was particularly complex and dazed.
He looked at Xie Yunshen, feeling as though he was about to witness a miracle and a moment of history.
This Grand Preceptor of the Great Jing, no... now he should be called the Grand Preceptor of the Underworld!
He might be about to create a miracle and a legend!
"Grand Preceptor, the Western Buddhist Land's fortune has been consolidated. Is our next target the forces within the Great Jing?"
Gu Qianchi spoke with a mix of complex emotions.
He had long given up on struggling. His original reason for joining Xie Yunshen's army was because the Bashu Sword Pavilion had surrendered to the court.
However, now, for Gu Qianchi, or for the entire Bashu Sword Pavilion, surrendering to Xie Yunshen and becoming a weapon in his hands was the most glorious thing in his thousand-year life.
It even surpassed the glory of becoming a Divine Tribulation cultivator!
After all, he had joined a war to destroy a powerful force like the Western Buddhist Land!
Gu Qianchi knew that if Xie Yunshen truly unified all the world's fortune, it would be a monumental event that would be recorded in history and remembered for ages in the mortal realm!
And Gu Qianchi's name would be immortalized in the annals!
What an honor!
Xie Yunshen's eyes glinted with a deep, mysterious light, and he shook his head slightly. "No, we don't need to rush with the various Daoist sects of the Great Jing."
"Because, sooner or later, we will return to suppress them."
"Our goal... we should look further ahead."
"The many Ancient Clans in the mortal realm can be disregarded. They do not hold the fortune of the mortal realm, so our next target..."
"Is the Dali Imperial Court, and behind it... the Shamanic Mountain!"
Xie Yunshen gently pointed his feather fan forward.
Gu Qianchi's entire body trembled, his pupils contracting as if hit by an earthquake.
He did not doubt Xie Yunshen's resolve but was stunned by his decisiveness!
He believed the Dali Imperial Court and the Shamanic Mountain would not surrender or be easily conquered like the Western Buddhist Land...
Moreover, the Shamanic Mountain...
Had a Great Shamanic Deity!
That was an existence on par with the Great Supervisor, both claiming to be the embodiment of the Cosmic Will!
Lu Taibai also looked over. "Grand Preceptor... truly?"
Xie Yunshen chuckled. "Would I lie to you?"
Suddenly, Xie Yunshen's expression changed, and his eyes gleamed with an unparalleled fervor.
"Lord... Li Wuxian!"
Xie Yunshen bowed respectfully and passionately in one direction.
Gu Qianchi, Lu Taibai, and the Sect Master's wife all turned to look.
They saw space tear open, and a tall figure casually stepped through the rift.
The space around him was like a mirror, bending to his will, a level of control over the void that surpassed any Divine Tribulation Supreme or even a Divine Being!
His black hair was scattered over his shoulders, his face obscured and distorted by divine energy, his eyes as dark as the night sky, dotted with countless stars, vast and boundless!
His black robe, embroidered with golden lotuses, billowed as Li Che walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Gu Qianchi's entire body shook, and he hurriedly bowed. "Li Wuxian!"
Li Che's reputation was now terrifying. He was a top-tier Wuxian in the mortal realm, a powerful existence capable of battling Divine Beings.
He was also the man behind Xie Yunshen, one of the top experts of the mysterious Underworld!
The events in the Third Prince's mysterious temple had already spread throughout the world.
Li Che, to save his daughter, had battled numerous Divine Beings and even reversed the path of Wuxian, transforming into a Divine Being. The news had shaken the mortal realm.
So, when Li Che appeared, even the once proud Gu Qianchi could not help but tremble.
Lu Taibai and the Sect Master's wife, Xuan Qisha, looked at him with complex expressions.
Li Che nodded at everyone.
His gaze swept over them and settled on the Sect Master's wife.
He raised his hand and touched her forehead, and immediately, divine seals on her body began to glow.
However, the energy within the seals was dissipating.
"I have helped to break the divine seals... the energy will slowly convert into the Sect Master's wife's own energy. Once she fully refines this energy, her physical body will recover, and her cultivation will also improve, perhaps reaching the Supreme level."
Li Che chuckled lightly.
The Sect Master’s wife could be considered Xixi’s half-mentor, having fiercely protected Xixi in the past. Naturally, Li Che felt obliged to repay the favor.
The Sect Master’s wife, Xuan Qisha, whose face resembled that of an infant, instantly showed a look of shock.
The Divine Seal had plagued her for nearly her entire life, and now... it was solved?!
Solved so easily?!
Did this mean that she, Xuan Qisha, didn’t have to die?!
Lu Taibai’s heart quivered, his entire being trembling with excitement as he looked at Xuan Qisha, then at Li Che, feeling on the verge of tears from joy.
However, Li Che’s words also made him feel a bit frustrated and amused.
You call advancing from a divine embryo to a supreme being “a little bit of improvement”?!
Now, Lu Taibai truly couldn’t fathom Li Che.
However, this was the first time Lu Taibai had seen Li Che since coming to the Western Region, and Li Che had changed a lot.
His martial immortal cultivation had dissipated, and he had been forced by the gods to convert to the divine path...
Lu Taibai’s expression was complex, filled with sorrow and helplessness.
