Chapter 540: The First Gathering of the Underworld Gods and the Martial Immortal Legacy Left by the Mountain and the River (Part 1)
Igniting the Immortal Platform Flame, the Mystic Immortal path is complete!
After numerous preparations, Li Che finally made the leap from the Human Immortal Realm to the Mystic Immortal Realm on the path of the Martial Immortal.
Transforming into a Mystic Immortal, he inscribed Great Dao Immortal Patterns onto his physical body, using the Karmic Flame as the fire to ignite the Immortal Platform Flame.
It was no easy feat, and Li Che paid a significant price and put in a great deal of effort to achieve this.
The difficulty of breaking through to the Mystic Immortal Realm also exceeded Li Che’s expectations. He never imagined that it would trigger the descent of the Annihilation Purple Lightning, a force nearly as terrifying as the Eternal Tribulation.
Fortunately, Li Che used the power of destiny to resist and defend, successfully surviving the ordeal.
Otherwise, facing a power on the level of a Heavenly Immortal, Li Che would have had no confidence in withstanding it, even if he exhausted all his resources.
He had once discussed the path of the Martial Immortal with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit and learned that the path of the Martial Immortal was comparable to the Divine Path, with the Heavenly Immortal realm being equivalent to the Eternal realm.
The current Li Che temporarily lacks the ability to deal with powers on the Eternal level.
Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss—
Li Che spread his fingers, the Karmic Flame burning in his palm. After more than forty days of refinement, he had thoroughly consolidated and mastered his newly attained cultivation.
“The Divine Fire, Merging Dao, Severing Dao, and Nirvana are the four realms of the Divine Being. The Mystic Immortal realm is comparable to the entire Divine Being realm, and it can be divided into these four stages. This stage also involves a deep understanding and mastery of the Dao.”
Li Che’s eyes gleamed.
After the Divine Fire realm, the subsequent stages of Merging Dao, Severing Dao, and Nirvana generally follow a similar path, but compared to the Divine Path, they place more emphasis on the physical body.
The path of the Martial Immortal differs from the Divine Path in its focus on the refinement of the physical body.
The path of the Martial Immortal believes in the power of human will over nature.
Boom—!!
The great dragon on his spine roared, and a vast surge of immortal qi erupted from the Eight Marvelous Gates. Li Che, with the Karmic Flame in his palm, fiercely struck downward.
The divine platform, woven from the chains of the Three Thousand Great Dao, instantly rose, lifting Li Che’s body as if to pierce the heavens.
Having completed his breakthrough in the path of the Martial Immortal, Li Che’s next goal was naturally the Divine Path.
This is because both his path of the Martial Immortal and the Divine Path are closely related to his physical body.
His blood and qi reversed, as if ignited by a flame, and his divine nature returned, surging with immense force!
Like a spark igniting a dry prairie, the flame suddenly burst forth, shooting skyward in a crimson hue, spreading and expanding at an alarming speed!
Having just consolidated his cultivation in the Mystic Immortal realm, Li Che, at this moment, chose to impact the Divine Being realm!
Boom—!!
On the divine platform, it seemed as if countless divine natures were ignited in an instant.
Crimson flames burned fiercely on the divine platform.
Li Che spread his arms, his third eye forming a vortex, continuously gathering divine nature and sending it to the divine platform formed by the chains of the Three Thousand Great Dao, maintaining the continuous burning of the divine fire.
Then, Li Che, carrying the divine platform with the burning divine fire, entered the Mysterious Gateway.
In the Mysterious Gateway, the Cosmic Will’s restrictions on the Divine Being are not as severe as in the mortal world.
If he were to break through in the mortal world, he would inevitably provoke the Cosmic Will’s punishment. Li Che had already been punished once when breaking through to the Mystic Immortal realm, and he feared that if he provoked the Cosmic Will again, it might become enraged and cause significant trouble.
Therefore, he decided not to dance on the nose of the Cosmic Will and avoid unnecessary trouble.
Swish, swish—
As the divine fire burned, one by one, the Great Dao Rivers appeared around the divine platform, as if connecting with it. A powerful will seemed to vibrate faintly.
Li Che sat on the divine platform, his eyes suddenly opening.
A dense and eerie fog rolled in from all sides of the Mysterious Gateway, instantly enveloping the area where Li Che stood.
As the Great Dao Rivers surged, the fog grew thicker, like a mist rising from the surface of the Great Dao Rivers.
In the fog, vague figures slowly emerged.
From these figures, Li Che sensed the aura of the Eternal will.
“Indeed… breaking through to the Divine Being realm is different from breaking through to the Mystic Immortal realm…”
“Breaking through to the Mystic Immortal realm only drew the attention of the Cosmic Will, but breaking through to the Divine Being realm has attracted the attention of the Eternal Divine Beings at the end of each Great Dao. These Eternal Divine Beings do not wish for me to succeed.”
The fog, like four great walls, continued to approach and compress, as if trying to completely suppress Li Che.
The fog was hazy, and divine nature surged.
Li Che stood on the burning divine platform, his eyes bright, his entire body’s divine nature boiling as he began to comprehend his own Great Dao.
In fact, Li Che possessed eight Great Chaotic Dao, and each of these could serve as a path for him to ignite the divine fire.
Li Che chose the path of the Fire Tribulation, walking the Great Dao River of Fire!
A mighty river of flames surged and roared, ascending to the heavens. Under the burning Karmic Flames, Li Che’s Immortal Platform shone like a lighthouse on a great ship setting sail, piercing through the fog and illuminating the path ahead on the great river.
Boom—!!
Li Che felt his Divine Will separate from his physical body, walking upon the Great Dao River. The mysterious mists were torn apart, and the fog was shattered!
But at the end of the fog, a colossal figure slowly emerged.
Then, a sense of facing the heavens and earth enveloped him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!
Blazing flames rushed towards him, and as the fog dissipated, Li Che saw a towering figure clad in burning flame armor, seated at the end of the Great Dao River. It was immense, its head touching the sky, its body resting on the river, like a mountain dominating the landscape.
Perhaps sensing Li Che’s approaching Divine Will, the supreme being slowly opened its eyes.
In its eyes, ancient runes rotated and shone brightly!
Li Che’s Divine Will floated on the Great Dao River, his heart devoid of any shock or surprise.
"The Eternal of the Fire Dao..."
"Indeed, as the Grand Supervisor said, almost every path in the mortal world has been walked to its end, with Eternals reigning supreme, covering the sky with one hand."
"Reaching the end of the Great Dao River, one sees these Eternals. With these Eternals blocking the way, one can never see the new sky."
"This is the despair of walking the Divine Path."
Li Che suddenly understood why the rise of the divine tides and the existence of the Daughter of the Prison Lotus had attracted so many powerful beings.
The existence of the Daughter of the Prison Lotus represented the infiltration and dimensional reduction of Cosmic Will Power. Even Eternals would feel threatened by this level of Cosmic Will Power.
And the divine tides ended with the Daughter of the Prison Lotus slaying an Eternal.
The fall of an Eternal meant a path was cleared, and a new Eternal slot was available.
Although the Eternals were wary of the threat posed by the Daughter of the Prison Lotus, they also looked forward to her eliminating other Eternals, thus freeing up Eternal slots for their own Nirvana disciples to ascend.
Li Che pondered this.
The Divine Path was complex. The rise and fall of the nine divine tides involved countless layers of interests, with the underlying web of interests as intricate as a spider’s web.
Some Eternals did not wish to become the fallen victims of the Daughter of the Prison Lotus, yet they hoped other Eternals, or those from opposing camps, would become the victims of the heavens' executioner.
Boom—!!
The Eternal seated at the end of the Great Dao River suddenly opened its eyes, the boiling eyes seeming to have lava flowing within.
In the next moment, countless threads of lava spread out, weaving together on the Great Dao River, slowly forming a figure.
A miniature version of the Eternal, wrapped in the aura of Eternity, was the embodiment of the Eternal’s will!
Li Che’s gaze was devoid of emotion. He had long guessed that impacting the Divine Being realm would inevitably draw the intervention of an Eternal.
When it was confirmed that he, Li Che, was about to impact the Divine Being realm, the Eternal would try to stop him, cutting off his path to Divinity!
However...
Come on!
Li Che was well-prepared to face the power of the Divine Being.
Boom!
The Eternal’s will, seemingly forged entirely of flames, looked at Li Che coldly.
"Want to continue on the Divine Path of Fire? Defeat this incarnation of the Eternal."
The voice was thunderous, representing the cold and mocking tone of the Eternal who governed fire, with a hint of amusement in the challenge.
Li Che was unfazed, his divine energy boiling and surging. He clenched his fists, and behind him, a flaming magical ape appeared.
It was the Spirit Ape of the Earthly Transformation, roaring with flames covering its body, its muscles and bones trembling, and lava-like flames flowing through its veins!
Li Che integrated the power of the initial Fire Tribulation into the Divine Path power.
Boom!
The will of the fire deity shook as if casting a seal. Immediately, seventy-two pillars of fire erupted from the Great Dao River beneath Li Che’s feet. On top of the flames, ancient runes representing the Cosmic Will formed the character for “fire,” transforming into coiling dragons that locked onto Li Che.
His surroundings within a thousand feet were sealed, the flames and lava flowing along the ancient runes, causing the void to tremble continuously!
Li Che’s Divine Will, embodied as the Spirit Ape, let out a long, sky-piercing roar.
Using the pure power of his divine physical body, he stomped his right foot, causing the river of flames to tremble. The divine energy surging from his Divine Will formed a massive flaming magical ape, roaring and charging at the lava dragons, shattering the cage!
Facing the incarnation of the Eternal’s will.
Originally, Li Che thought the Eternal would have some novel means to block him from breaking through to the Divine Being realm while sitting at the end of the Great Dao River.
But he never expected the Eternal to manifest its will as an incarnation, using the power of the Divine Fire Realm to block him and defeat him.
This made Li Che’s heart emit a cold laugh, completely unafraid.
After all, his physical body had transformed into a Sacred Body, and even after transitioning to the Divine Path, his physical body had not weakened. It remained extremely powerful, capable of bearing even more formidable divine energy!
After all, the surge of divinity Li Che experienced as he transformed from a Mystic Immortal to a Divine Path practitioner far exceeded that of any Divine Flame.
Li Che clenched his fingers, and an overwhelming surge of divinity erupted. Accompanied by a resounding dragon roar, a massive golden dragon burst forth from his punch, charging forward with a fierce momentum!
This was the Ancestral Dragon Slaying Technique!
Learned from the Young Dragon Emperor, this technique was both a martial art and a divine secret skill. With his newfound status as a Divine Path practitioner, Li Che could now wield it perfectly!
The battle held little suspense. Although Li Che displayed the power of the Divine Path, his breakthrough to the Mystic Immortal realm had significantly enhanced his strength.
The Eternal Will, though powerful, was limited to the peak of the Divine Flame realm. To the current Li Che, it posed no threat.
After three intense clashes, Li Che obliterated the Eternal Will.
From this point on, Li Che had truly ascended to the Divine Being realm. His divinity swelled, and the Great Dao River danced behind him. The Divine Engravings slowly intertwined into order chains, resonating with a resounding clatter.
Li Che's eyes sparkled, his aura overwhelmingly powerful.
He felt the transformation of becoming a Divine Being.
Boom—!!!
The power of the laws woven by the Divine Engravings surged through his body, but there was an inherent restriction, one brought by the Eternal Will.
At the end of the Great Dao, a supreme being sat, consuming the essence of the entire Great Dao and blocking the path for all others, denying them any chance.
Li Che sat cross-legged atop the Great Dao River, feeling his physical body transform as the Divine Engravings integrated into his flesh and blood, imbuing it with a formidable divine presence.
"Now, I can truly say I have reached the Divine Being level. My divinity has undergone a significant transformation and grown immensely! The cultivation at the Divine Being realm... involves a higher level of refining the Great Dao Engravings, forming order chains that lay upon the Great Dao River, allowing one to walk upon it. This is the key to advancing on the Great Dao River."
"Like the Young Dragon Emperor, who reignited his divine fire to restore his cultivation, his mastery of the Great Dao order chains is in the thousands, already at the peak of the Divine Flame realm!"
"And I... have seen the three thousand Great Dao chains... so I must master all three thousand, reaching the ultimate divine fire."
"The more Great Dao chains one masters, the greater the workload for the Merging Dao realm, but it also signifies a deep and powerful foundation!"
Li Che's eyes burned with determination, gradually understanding the cultivation at the Divine Being level.
Rumble—
A powerful divinity enveloped Li Che like a mist, his physical body exuding a divine pressure that could cause mortals to collapse and kneel.
"Now, I finally have the qualifications to ascend to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and reunite with Xi Xi."
Li Che's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
After all this preparation, he had reached the peak of his current capabilities.
If Li Che wanted to continue improving, the mortal world and the Mysterious Gateway could hardly satisfy him.
The main reason was that there was no one powerful enough to challenge him and provide the necessary pressure.
Whether it was the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit or the Purity Heart Dao Fruit, both required a formidable opponent to exert sufficient pressure.
Li Che had always been clear that pressure was the ladder to his progress and the foundation of his improvement.
Of course, there were also many people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths 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 Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to buy time for Xi Xi, even facing the pursuit of powerful Divine Beings in the process.
Li Che was always a man who settled his debts and repaid his favors.
Rumble—
The Mysterious Gateway trembled incessantly.
Li Che, now a Divine Path practitioner, had divine fire burning behind him, with every pore of his body reflecting the Great Dao Engravings, radiating a brilliant light.
The light shot up, refracting through the strange mist, as if illuminating a massive, hundred-zhang entity.
Li Che smiled lightly, and golden destiny lotuses appeared, floating around him, transforming into a golden destiny robe that he draped over his body.
His divine power was suppressed, and he returned to his normal state.
With a step, Li Che directly traversed out of the Mysterious Gateway, appearing in the mortal world.
Shielded by the golden destiny robe formed from the eighteen-petaled golden destiny lotus, Li Che's aura was completely hidden from the Cosmic Will of the mortal world.
Li Che raised his head, stretched his body, and yawned, as if the heavens and earth were shaking.
It was as if a golden divine dragon was stretching out between heaven and earth.
"Comfortable."
Li Che exhaled.
In the next moment, the sound of something breaking through the air echoed.
Upon receiving the news, Grand Supervisor and the others, including Lu Taibai and Xuan Qisha, hurried over.
"Congratulations, Martial Immortal Li, on your great breakthrough."
Grand Supervisor's eyes shone with surprise and depth.
"It's just about igniting divine fire and breaking through to the Divine Being realm. It's not a big deal."
Li Che smiled lightly.
Grand Supervisor laughed softly, but he didn't believe it for a moment.
A breakthrough to the Divine Fire Divine Being realm would cause such a commotion?
Even the Annihilation Purple Lightning appeared, a tribulation lightning that even an Eternal being would find hair-raising...
If not for the Golden Destiny Lotus, Li Che would have been reduced to ashes under that Annihilation Purple Lightning.
However, Li Che said it that way, and Grand Supervisor wouldn't correct him.
Li Che chatted with everyone for a while.
Grand Supervisor gazed at the transformed Thunder Pool of Shaman Mountain and sighed.
"Shaman Mountain is gone, and the former mortal world... The Great Shaman and this old man were two individuals who could connect with the Cosmic Will. Now, only this old man remains."
Grand Supervisor felt a bit melancholic but also under immense pressure.
His pressure came from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
For the Divine Beings and Eternals in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the mortal world and the Mysterious Gateway possess great mysteries and are more like a vast place for enlightenment.
Because the mortal world has a complete Cosmic Will!
Li Che couldn't understand Grand Supervisor's melancholy and pressure, as he was about to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to reunite with his daughter.
