Chapter 541: Mechanical Ingenious Vast Heaven Tower—A Feast of Immortal Craftsmanship and the Nirvana Deity's Astonishing Tower Climbing Speed [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 1)
Torrential rain poured from the sky.
On the black-tiled eaves, round droplets of water dripped down, splashing into the puddles on the ground, creating ripples that spread out like shattered mirrors.
Thunderbolt City.
This small city had now regained its vitality. Over the past seven or eight years, it had changed greatly. The city, once reduced to ruins and sacrificed to the temple gods, had been completely restored.
The inhumane and brutal events of the past had become mere topics of conversation among the people.
An old house stood in the rain.
Li Che, holding Zhang Ya's waist, appeared in front of this house. The couple strolled through the rain, unnoticed by the people bustling on the streets.
Li Che looked at the house with a complex expression.
This was the thatched cottage where he had lived for so many years after crossing over. In this cottage, he had married Zhang Ya, and Xixi was born in this dilapidated thatched house.
In the blink of an eye, time had passed, and the thatched house had become a faint, almost forgotten memory.
Before leaving the mortal world, Li Che had brought Zhang Ya here.
"Husband... It's been so many years, and this house hasn't changed at all."
Zhang Ya squinted her eyes, leaning against Li Che's chest. The couple looked at the house, smiling with a sense of nostalgia.
Creak.
Suddenly, the door of the thatched house opened, and a woman in tattered clothes, holding a baby in her arms, looked out through the rain.
She gazed at the heavy rain, worry evident in her eyes, as if she was concerned about her husband who was working outside...
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter...
The sound of running echoed, and a figure in a straw hat, wearing a patched short-sleeved shirt, dashed through the rain, heading quickly toward the small dilapidated house.
During the run, he slipped and fell to the ground, landing with a thud.
However, the man just chuckled, got up, and continued toward the house, holding a lively carp in his hand, clearly planning to make a carp soup for dinner.
Li Che's gaze softened as he watched this scene, feeling a bit dazed.
"It's like a cycle. We once lived in this small dilapidated house, and now, new people are living here..."
"Year after year, patching and repairing, one year after another."
Li Che laughed, his voice filled with a sense of ease.
The man running through the rain suddenly trembled, looking around in fear, as if startled by the sudden laughter.
But the next moment, he lowered his head and ran frantically toward his small dilapidated house.
Inside, his wife and child were waiting.
Li Che flicked his finger, and a stream of light shot out, merging into the rain like a drop of water, landing on the baby in the woman's arms.
"Meeting is a bond, and living in the house where we once lived is an even greater bond..."
"Let me bestow a blessing upon the child."
Li Che smiled lightly, and neither he nor Zhang Ya appeared in the rain.
After doing this, he took Zhang Ya and left directly.
As he said, he had returned with a sense of nostalgia, wanting to see Thunderbolt City, the place where his dreams began, and to look at the house where his family had once struggled to survive.
Fortunately, the dilapidated house still existed, and new people had moved in, and they had a child.
Thus, Li Che felt a sense of joy and bestowed a blessing upon the child.
"Let's go, wife. We should also go and reunite with our child."
Li Che said softly.
Zhang Ya gently nodded, her eyes shining brightly. She looked back at the dilapidated house standing strong in the rain and wind.
That was a snapshot of their past.
Now, their family was no longer the same, having become incredibly powerful and living a very good life.
Looking at the woman holding the baby, she saw a reflection of herself from the past.
Back then, she had also been... eagerly awaiting her husband's return from work.
Recalling the past, there was a special kind of beauty.
Buzz—!!!
Li Che left Thunderbolt City with Zhang Ya, continuing on to Golden Light City, then to Qianyuan Dao City, and finally to the Divine Capital.
It was like retracing the path their family had taken in the mortal world.
Cloud Peak Pavilion.
Li Che returned quietly, without disturbing anyone. Now, he had entered a new realm and domain, and even the Grand Supervisor could not detect his presence. The Heaven and Earth Chessboard was laid out, making him invisible.
Li Che held his wife with one hand and raised the other. A pool appeared in his palm, and with a splash, the water flowed, and the Nine-Headed Dragon Shadow emerged!
The Nine Dragon Cataclysmic Pool was activated by Li Che, without the need for the Power of the Kunlun Mirror, directly opening the Jade Emperor Vast Heaven Mysterious Temple.
Now that his wife had embarked on the path of fusion, her limits were essentially the limits of Divine Armaments, so Li Che had secretly resolved to find her the best Divine Armament.
Of course, walking the path of fusion didn't mean that finding a Divine Armament would immediately allow her to fuse it. It required a gradual process, slowly refining the Divine Armament and strengthening her body to the point where it could bear a high-quality Divine Armament.
However, the process of fusion was extremely rapid, almost like sacrificing one's limits to achieve a forced growth!
Boom—!!
A light curtain appeared, and a surging divine aura, like a tidal wave, rolled in, with an extremely dense aura of spiritual energy continuously surging.
The Jade Emperor Vast Heaven Mysterious Temple reopened.
Li Che and Zhang Ya entered directly.
When the sky closed, it was as if they had never existed in the world.
In the Divine Capital.
One figure after another soared through the air.
Xie Yunshen, his feather fan gently swaying, his expression serious, as a Bound Deity, immediately sensed Li Che's situation. The weakening of his connection with Li Che meant that Li Che had entered the Mysterious Temple of the Two Saints.
Buzz—
The Grand Supervisor strode forward, his white robes fluttering as he stood in the air alongside Xie Yunshen.
The Grand Supervisor's gaze was complex, having placed all his bets on Li Che.
However, now, Li Che patted his behind and entered the Jade Emperor Vast Heaven Mysterious Temple, signaling that he might be heading straight into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was easy, but returning... that would be difficult.
It was uncertain when Li Che would return.
The Grand Supervisor couldn't be sure if this grand gamble would pay off or if it would all be in vain.
But Li Che had entrusted everything in the mortal world to Xie Yunshen, who had the ability to channel the auspicious energy of mountains and rivers into a golden lotus, making him a suitable choice.
The Grand Supervisor felt a slight sense of relief.
"Lord, the empire you have built..."
"I, Xie Yunshen, will do my utmost to protect it for you."
Xie Yunshen bowed deeply.
Li Che's departure meant that the Bound Deities he left behind in the mortal world were now free, even though Li Che's will still restrained them on a moral level.
But... chaos was inevitable.
Xie Yunshen only hoped he wouldn't let down his lord's trust.
...
...
Jade Emperor Vast Heaven Mysterious Temple.
This Second Saint-rank Mysterious Temple was filled with celestial pavilions, towering mountains, and miles of misty light, radiating a divine aura.
Countless phenomena intertwined, creating a scene that resembled a heavenly paradise.
Zhang Ya, dragged along by Li Che, entered this Mysterious Temple, where the misty fog flowed but could not obscure the breathtaking scenery.
The divine energy between heaven and earth was incredibly dense, and the essence of the world surged.
Zhang Ya was amazed, her eyes wide open in awe.
"Husband, this is a Second Saint-rank Mysterious Temple... truly extraordinary! The divine energy is so rich, just one breath feels like days of arduous cultivation!"
"But my divine energy can't spread, and my true qi and gong qi are tightly confined within my body, unable to move!"
Zhang Ya exclaimed in shock.
Little Su Da transformed into a White Fox, darting onto Zhang Ya's shoulder.
The little fox's eyes also showed a human-like expression of amazement: "Lady, this is a Second Saint-rank Mysterious Temple. Even in the upper realms, it is considered one of the top-tier Mysterious Temples..."
"Controlled by the strong from various divine factions, it is extremely difficult to enter."
"Only this Jade Emperor Vast Heaven Mysterious Temple, which spans the three realms, has special properties that prevent the Immortal from interfering, allowing it to connect with the mortal world... giving us the opportunity to step through the mortal entrance."
Little Su Da curiously surveyed the surroundings.
Even she, in her past life as a Nirvana Deity, had never entered this Mysterious Temple.
This Second Saint Mysterious Temple wasn't just about having sufficient strength; it also required immense talent. Though she was a Nirvana Deity in her past life, she wasn't outstanding among many Nirvanas, which was why she died and chose to enter the mortal world to seek a great transformation.
Li Che's mind flickered, and the Heaven and Earth Chessboard expanded, shielding Zhang Ya and Su Da.
"We still need to obtain a Divine Weapon to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths..."
Li Che's eyes glinted.
"Target... Vast Heaven Tower!"
The Amber Scripture and the Sealing Heaven Seal were both options, but the Sealing Heaven Seal was too difficult to obtain, with an Immortal Emperor's reincarnated body guarding it. For Li Che now, it was still too challenging.
The Amber Scripture was inferior to the Vast Heaven Tower, so Li Che naturally chose the better option.
With a mental command, the Ink City Fengdu appeared.
After the battle with the Immortal Emperor's reincarnated body, the entire city had collapsed and was now slowly recovering, already restored to a significant extent.
It had become even stronger, and once fully restored, the maturity of the "Immortal in the Painting" Dao Fruit would be sufficient to achieve the sixth transformation.
Li Che gathered Zhang Ya and Little Su Da into the Ink City Fengdu.
Dressed in a black robe, Li Che spread his fingers and donned the Underworld Ksitigarbha mask.
His entire demeanor changed dramatically, becoming compassionate and mysterious, with ancient symbols seemingly swirling in his eyes.
The rules within the Mysterious Temple suppressed divine energy, preventing any leakage, and even martial true qi and gong qi were unusable.
This was Li Che's best disguise.
Taking a step, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard expanded, and after confirming the direction of the Vast Heaven Tower, Li Che's body vibrated, and his powerful physical body shattered the mist, launching him forward.
Despite being unable to use divine energy, true qi, or gong qi, Li Che used his powerful physical body to break through the barrier.
Vast Heaven Tower.
Located in a different direction from the Lingxiao Palace.
In fact, the layout of the Jade Emperor Vast Heaven Mysterious Temple was quite simple, with the Lingxiao Palace serving as the main temple area, where the statue of the Jade Emperor Vast Heaven Temple deity was situated.
In the four cardinal directions, four Divine Weapons were placed, though their distances varied.
Some were close, others far.
For example, the Nine Dragon Cataclysmic Pool was located very close to the Lingxiao Palace.
This time, the Vast Heaven Tower was a hundred miles away from the Lingxiao Palace.
As for the Amber Scripture and the Sealing Heaven Seal, they were even farther.
Rumble—
Li Che's physical body traversed the distance, with nine Immortal Engravings intertwining, seeming to fuse completely with his body, filled with profound and divine mysteries that distorted the viewer's gaze, making it impossible to see clearly.
Li Che landed before the Vast Heaven Tower.
Three figures were already waiting there, the same ones he had encountered at the Nine Dragon Cataclysmic Pool: Fu Shaoxi, Ji Shaohao, and Shi Shaokai.
The three figures turned their gazes toward Li Che, their eyes lighting up.
"Indeed, he's come!"
"Predecessor Dizang... still unwilling to give up easily, I see."
"Trying to obtain a second Divine Armament and take it out."
The three were filled with speculation about Dizang's identity, ultimately concluding that this powerful figure must be an immensely strong Nirvana Deity, possibly even a half-step Immortal who had begun to grasp the Cosmic Will.
"Predecessor!"
The three immediately clasped their fists in greeting upon seeing Li Che.
In fact, before the Vast Heaven Tower, there were more figures present besides these three. Several others had their divine essence suppressed, their auras confined within their bodies, slightly weaker than the trio.
However, there were numerous Dao-severing patterns on their physical bodies, indicating they were also Dao-severing Divine Beings.
Perhaps due to the respectful posture of Fu Shaoxi, Ji Shaohao, and the other two, the others' eyes narrowed. After all, these three represented extraordinary identities.
They were the first-generation bloodline of the Immortal, extremely powerful, yet now they were showing such respect to a stranger.
Li Che glanced indifferently at the numerous Divine Beings present, noting that the number of Dao-severing Divine Beings was much greater than he had expected.
However, there was no possibility of a conflict breaking out now, so Li Che was not concerned. Everyone's goal was to seek the Vast Heaven Tower.
"This is Predecessor Dizang, a Nirvana Deity who has been in seclusion for a long time. He has prepared for the ninth divine wave resurgence..."
Shi Shaokai clasped his hands together, a radiant light emanating from his body as he spoke softly.
He was increasingly convinced that Li Che might be a Nirvana Deity from the Black Mount Sumeru, so he stepped forward at this moment.
The surrounding Dao-severing Divine Beings drew in sharp breaths...
These Dao-severing Divine Beings, who had entered this mysterious temple for cultivation, clearly had extraordinary backgrounds and knew many secrets. Therefore, they were deeply shaken, their gazes filled with both awe and reverence as they looked at Li Che.
"Predecessor Dizang has already refined the Nine Dragon Cataclysmic Pool... He has come to try and refine a second Divine Armament, attempting something no Divine Being has ever succeeded in throughout the ages."
Fu Shaoxi laughed heartily.
The previously wary gazes of the crowd instantly relaxed.
So, Li Che had already refined one of the Divine Armaments?
Then there was nothing to worry about. Li Che could not pose a threat to them.
"Predecessor... please."
Ji Shaohao's eyes were filled with anticipation.
They had witnessed the scene when Li Che refined the Nine Dragon Cataclysmic Pool, and they believed this Nirvana Deity was well-prepared.
Li Che said nothing more, his gaze fixed on the Vast Heaven Tower.
Buzzing—
The moment his gaze met the Vast Heaven Tower, the Dao Fruit in his chest, which had been dormant for a long time after fusing two ancient heaven tokens, suddenly throbbed!
Hmm?!
Li Che's eyes couldn't help but flicker. In his eyes, the entire Vast Heaven Tower seemed to emit an extremely brilliant light!
