Chapter 540: The First Gathering of the Underworld Deities, Wu Xian Legacy Left by the Mountains and Waters (Part 1)
The Immortal Platform ignited with divine flames, marking the completion of the Xian Immortal path!
After extensive preparation, Li Che finally ascended from the Human Immortal realm to the Xian Immortal realm on the Wuxian Path.
Transforming into a Xian Immortal, he etched the Great Dao Xian Pattern into his flesh to form the Immortal Platform, with the Netherflame as the fire, igniting the Immortal Platform flames!
It was no easy feat, and Li Che paid a significant price and put in considerable effort to achieve this.
The difficulty of breaking through to the Xian Immortal realm exceeded Li Che's expectations. He never imagined that it would trigger the descent of the Annihilation Purple Lightning, a terrifying force almost on par with the Immortality Tribulation.
Fortunately, Li Che utilized the power of the Heaven and Earth Will to resist and defend, successfully surviving.
Otherwise, facing the power of a Heavenly Immortal, Li Che would have had no confidence in withstanding it, even if he exhausted all his resources.
He had discussed the Wuxian Path and the Deity Path with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Guo, learning that the Heavenly Immortal realm is equivalent to the Immortality realm.
Currently, Li Che does not yet have the ability to handle the power of the Immortality realm.
Whooosh—
Li Che spread his fingers, the Netherflame burning in the palm of his hand. After over forty days of refinement, he had thoroughly consolidated and mastered his newly attained cultivation.
"The Four Divine Realms are Godfire, Dao Fusion, Dao Severance, and Nirvana. The Xian Immortal realm is comparable to the entire god realm, and it can be divided into these four stages. This stage involves a deep understanding and mastery of the Dao."
Li Che's eyes flickered with insight.
After the Godfire realm, the subsequent stages of Dao Fusion, Dao Severance, and Nirvana follow a similar path. However, compared to the Deity Path, the Wuxian Path places more emphasis on the enhancement of the physical body.
The greatest difference between the Wuxian Path and the Deity Path lies in the refinement of the physical body.
The Wuxian Path believes in human will overcoming destiny.
Boom—!!
The great dragon in his spine roared, and the vast and mighty Xian Qi surged forth from the Eight Mystic Gates Immortal Seed. Li Che held the Netherflame in his palm and forcefully struck it down.
The Divine Platform, woven from the 3,000 Great Dao Chains, instantly rose, lifting Li Che's body as if to soar into the heavens.
With the completion of his breakthrough on the Wuxian Path, Li Che's next goal is the Deity Path.
This is because both his Wuxian Path and Deity Path are closely tied to his physical body.
His blood and qi reversed, igniting like a flame, and his divine nature returned, surging powerfully!
Like a spark igniting a field of dry grass, the flame erupted in an instant, shooting skyward, blazing red, and spreading at an alarming speed!
Having just completed the consolidation of his Xian Immortal cultivation, Li Che chose this moment to advance to the god realm!
Boom—!!
On the Divine Platform, countless divine natures seemed to ignite simultaneously.
Crimson flames burned fiercely on the Divine Platform.
Li Che spread his arms, and the point between his eyebrows turned into a vortex, continuously gathering divine nature and channeling it into the 3,000 Great Dao Chains that formed the Divine Platform, maintaining the continuous burning of the Godfire.
Then, Li Che, lifting the Divine Platform ablaze with Godfire, entered the Mystic Realm.
In the Mystic Realm, the restrictions imposed by the Heaven and Earth Will on gods are not as severe as in the Mortal World.
Breaking through in the Mortal World would inevitably provoke the wrath of the Heaven and Earth Will. Li Che had already been punished once when he broke through to the Xian Immortal realm. If he were to provoke the Heaven and Earth Will again, he feared it might lash out with even greater fury.
So, it was best not to dance on the nose of the Heaven and Earth Will and avoid unnecessary trouble.
Swoosh—Swoosh—
As the Godfire burned, one Great Way Long River after another appeared around the Divine Platform, seemingly connecting with it, and a powerful will seemed to stir.
Li Che sat on the Divine Platform, his eyes suddenly opening.
Dense, mysterious fog rolled in from the surrounding Mystic Realm, instantly enveloping the area where Li Che was.
As the Great Way Long River surged, the Mysterious Fog grew denser, like a thick mist rising from the river's surface.
Through the haze, vague figures began to emerge, slowly walking out.
From these figures, Li Che sensed the aura of Immortal Will.
"Indeed... breaking through to the god realm is different from breaking through to the Xian Immortal realm..."
"Breaking through to Xian Immortal attracts the attention of the Heaven and Earth Will, while breaking through to the god realm draws the notice of the Immortality Gods who rule at the end of each great path. These Immortality Gods do not wish for my success."
The Mysterious Fog closed in like four massive walls, continuously compressing, as if trying to completely suppress Li Che.
The fog was hazy, and divine power surged.
Li Che stood on the Flame-lit Divine Platform, his eyes clear and bright, his entire body brimming with divine power as he began to comprehend his own great path.
In fact, Li Che mastered eight Dao Reincarnations, each of which could serve as a path for him to ignite his Godfire.
But Li Che chose the Primordial Fire Tribulation, walking the path of the Flame Great Way Long River!
The Flame Long River surged, vast and mighty, rushing into the sky. Li Che's Divine Platform, bathed in divine flames, seemed like a lighthouse on a ship, piercing through the fog and illuminating the path on the Long River.
Boom—!!
Li Che felt his Divine Spirit Thought detach from his physical body, walking on the Great Way Long River, tearing through the Mysterious Fog, shattering the mist!
But at the end of the mist, a massive presence slowly revealed itself.
Then, a sense of facing the heavens and earth.
Whoosh—!!
Blazing flames rushed towards him, and as the mist cleared, Li Che saw a figure clad in flaming armor, seated at the end of the Great Way Long River. The figure was towering, head touching the sky, body on the Long River, like a mountain sitting atop it.
Perhaps with Li Che's Divine Spirit Thought approaching, the supreme existence slowly opened its eyes.
In its eyes, ancient runes rotated, shimmering with a brilliant light!
Li Che's Divine Spirit Thought floated on the Great Way Long River, his heart devoid of shock or surprise.
"The Immortality of the Flame Path..."
"Indeed, as the Grand Superintendent said, almost every path in the mortal world has been walked to its end, with Immortality Gods overseeing and controlling everything."
"Reaching the end of the Great Way Long River, one can see these Immortality Gods. With these Immortality Gods blocking the way, one can never see a new sky."
"This is the despair of walking the Deity Path."
Li Che suddenly understood why the God Tide had risen, and why the existence of Yulian's Daughter had attracted so much attention from powerful beings.
Yulian's Daughter represented the Heaven and Earth Will's power to penetrate and reduce dimensions. Even Immortality Gods felt threatened by this kind of dimensional reduction power from the Heaven and Earth Will.
The God Tide surged, ending with Yulian's Daughter slaying an Immortality God.
The fall of an Immortality God represented the opening of a path, signifying the emergence of a new Immortality God position.
Although the Immortality Gods were concerned about the threat posed by Yulian's Daughter, they also looked forward to her eliminating other Immortality Gods, allowing the newly vacated Immortality positions to be filled by their own Nirvanas.
Li Che pondered this.
The Deity Path was complex. The rise and fall of the nine God Tides involved countless entanglements of interests, with the underlying web of interests as intricate as a spider's web.
Some Immortality Gods did not wish to become the fallen under the executioner's blade of Yulian's Daughter, yet they hoped that other Immortality Gods, or those from opposing factions, would become the fallen under the Heaven and Earth Executioner's blade.
Boom—!!
The Immortality God seated at the end of the Great Way Long River suddenly opened its eyes, its boiling eyes seeming to have lava flowing and burning within.
In the next moment, countless threads of lava spread out, intertwining on the Great Way Long River, slowly coalescing into a figure.
A miniature figure, enveloped in the aura of Immortality, was the embodiment of the Immortal Will!
Li Che's eyes remained expressionless, as he had long suspected that his attempt to ascend to the god realm would be interfered with by Immortality.
The moment it was confirmed that he, Li Che, was challenging the god realm, Immortality would intervene to block his path, severing his path to godhood!
However...
Come on!
Li Che had long prepared himself for the moment he would face the power of a god.
Boom!
The Immortal Will, as if forged entirely of Flame, looked at Li Che with a cold, cruel gaze.
"If you wish to continue on the Path of the Fire Deity, defeat the embodiment of the Flame Deity."
The voice thundered, representing the Immortality who governed Flame. Cold and mocking, it carried a tinge of amusement.
Li Che remained unfazed, his divine aura surging and boiling. He clenched his fingers, and behind him, a Flame Demon Ape emerged.
It was the Earth-Shaking and Heaven-Moving Monkey, roaring with Flame, its muscles twitching, and its veins flowing with magma-like Flame!
Li Che integrated the power of the Primordial Fire Tribulation into the Deity Path.
Boom!
The will of the Flame Deity trembled, as if casting a spell. Instantly, seventy-two pillars of flame erupted from the Great Way Long River beneath Li Che. On the Flame, there were faint ancient runes of the Heaven and Earth Will, forming the ancient character for "fire", which transformed into twisting dragons that locked onto Li Che.
The space around him, extending three hundred feet, was sealed, with the molten lava flowing along the ancient runes, causing the void to vibrate continuously!
Li Che's divine spirit, transformed into a wise and enlightened true ape, let out a long howl to the sky.
Using the pure strength of his divine flesh, he stomped his right foot, causing the Flame Long River to tremble. The divine spirit energy surged, forming a massive Flame Demon Ape that roared and charged, colliding with the magma dragons, shattering the prison!
He faced the embodiment of the Immortal Will.
Initially, Li Che had thought that Immortality, seated at the Great Way Long River, would use some novel means to block his ascension to godhood.
But he never expected that the Immortal Will would descend in the form of an embodiment, using the power of the Godfire Realm to obstruct him, aiming to defeat him.
This made Li Che sneer inwardly, feeling no fear at all.
After all, his body had transformed into a Sacred Body, and even after converting to the Deity Path, his physical strength had not weakened but remained immensely powerful, carrying even more formidable divine energy!
After all, the divine energy Li Che possessed after converting from an Immortal to the Deity Path far surpassed that of any Godfire!
Li Che clenched his fingers, and countless divine energies poured out, accompanied by a loud dragon roar. A massive golden dragon surged forth from his punch, charging and slashing through the air!
This was the Zulong Zhaifa Technique!
Learned from the Young Dragon Emperor, this technique was both a martial art and a divine secret skill. Li Che, now in the Deity Path, found it perfectly suited to his current state!
The battle had little suspense. Although Li Che displayed the power of the Deity Path, his breakthrough to the Martial Arts Immortal had given him an immense boost.
The Immortal Will, though powerful, was confined to the peak of the Godfire Realm, posing no threat to the current Li Che.
After three clashes, Li Che obliterated it.
Thus, Li Che truly stepped into the realm of godhood, his divine energy expanding, and the Great Way Long River danced behind him. The divine patterns slowly wove into the Order Chain, resonating continuously.
Li Che's eyes sparkled, his aura overwhelmingly powerful.
He felt the transformation of becoming a god.
Boom—!!!
The rule forces woven from the Great Dao Divine Patterns were added to his body, but there was a subtle restriction, one imposed by Immortality.
At the end of the Great Dao, a supreme being sat, absorbing the essence of the entire Great Dao, blocking the path for all, giving no one else a chance.
Li Che sat cross-legged on the Great Way Long River, feeling his body transform as the divine patterns integrated into his flesh, imbuing it with a powerful divine dignity.
"Now, I have truly reached the god realm. My divine energy has undergone a great transformation and grown immensely! The cultivation at the god realm... involves the higher-level refinement of the Great Dao Divine Patterns, the Order Chain of the Great Dao. The Order Chain laid on the Great Way Long River allows one to walk on the Long River, which is key to advancing on the Great Way Long River."
"Like the Young Dragon Emperor, who reignited his Godfire to restore his cultivation, the Order Chain he mastered is a thousand strong, which is already the peak of the Godfire Realm!"
“And I… have once seen the three thousand Great Dao divine chains… naturally, I must master the three thousand and ignite the ultimate Godfire.”
“The more Great Dao divine chains one masters, the greater the workload in the Dao Integration Realm… but it also means a profound and powerful foundation!”
Li Che’s eyes burned with determination as he gradually grasped the essence of god-level cultivation.
Rumble—
A powerful divine aura enveloped Li Che, shrouding him in a mist-like haze. His physical body now possessed the Aura of Power, a force capable of making mortals collapse to their knees.
“Now, I finally have the qualifications to ascend to the Jiutian Shidi and reunite with Xi Xi.”
Li Che’s eyes flickered with anticipation.
After all this preparation, he had reached the pinnacle of his current capabilities.
If Li Che wanted to continue improving, the Mortal World and the Mystic Realm could no longer satisfy him.
The primary reason was the lack of sufficiently powerful opponents to challenge him.
Whether it was the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Guo or the Pure Mind Dao Guo, they required formidable adversaries to provide the necessary pressure.
Li Che had always been clear that pressure was the ladder to his advancement, the foundation of his growth.
Of course, there were also many people in the Jiutian Shidi waiting for him to find.
Not just Xi Xi, but also the temple god Qitian…
Back then, the temple god Qitian had directly entered the Jiutian Shidi to buy time for Xi Xi, even facing the relentless pursuit of powerful gods in the Jiutian Shidi.
Li Che was always a man of clear distinctions in matters of gratitude and vengeance.
Rumble—
The Mystic Realm trembled continuously.
Li Che transformed into the Deity Path, with Godfire burning behind him. Every pore of his body seemed to reflect Great Dao divine patterns, radiating a brilliant light.
The light rose, refracted by the mysterious fog, forming a colossal figure hundreds of feet tall.
Li Che smiled lightly, and Golden Lotus of Fortune blossomed around him, floating to form a Golden Aura Robe that draped over his body.
The divine power was suppressed, and he returned to his normal state.
With one step, Li Che directly traversed out of the Mystic Realm, appearing in the mortal world.
The Golden Aura Robe, formed from the eighteen-petaled Golden Lotus of Fortune, concealed Li Che’s aura, preventing it from being detected by the Mortal World’s Heaven and Earth Will.
Li Che raised his head, stretched his body, and yawned, causing the heavens and earth to seem to tremble.
It was as if a golden divine dragon was stretching out in the universe.
“Comfortable.”
Li Che exhaled.
In the next moment, the sound of breaking air echoed.
The Grand Superintendent, along with Lv Tai Bai and Xuan Qisha, who had been waiting far away, rushed over upon receiving the news.
“Congratulations, Li Wuxian, on this great breakthrough.”
The Grand Superintendent’s eyes were filled with surprise and depth.
“Just igniting the Godfire and breaking through to the god realm, it’s not a big deal.”
Li Che smiled lightly.
The Grand Superintendent looked up and laughed, but in his heart, he didn’t believe a word of it.
A breakthrough to Godfire with this much commotion?
Even the annihilating purple lightning appeared, a tribulation even Immortals would find hair-raising…
If not for the Golden Lotus of Fortune, Li Che would have been reduced to ashes under the annihilating purple lightning.
However, since Li Che said it this way, the Grand Superintendent wouldn’t correct him.
