Chapter 542: Divine Craft's Sixth Transformation, Heaven and Earth's Three Runic Blades Battle Nirvana, Two Sage Divine Weapons for Father

Chapter 542: Divine Craft's Sixth Transformation, Heaven and Earth’s Three Runic Blades Battle Nirvana, Two Sage Divine Weapons for Father

The ninth level!

As the light on the eighth level of the Hao Tian Pagoda dimmed, the ninth level shone brightly. The numerous divine beings surrounding the Hao Tian Pagoda fell silent.

King Lingxiao stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes seemingly swirling with ancient runes. He stared at the bright ninth level of the Hao Tian Pagoda, his heart slightly surprised.

The speed... it was too fast!

Each level of the Hao Tian Pagoda was home to monstrous creatures of unparalleled craftsmanship, each one intricately crafted with terrifying combat power, greatly testing the physical strength of any challenger.

Even a Nirvana divine being would find it incredibly difficult to reach the ninth level purely through physical prowess.

"How did he manage to do it?"

King Lingxiao, the reincarnation of the Divine Emperor, took a deep breath. If he were in the same situation, it would be extremely challenging to reach the ninth level so quickly relying solely on physical strength.

Moreover, don't forget that this powerful figure named Dizang had already refined the Nine Dragons Ten Thousand Calamities Qi and wielded a Two Sage Divine Weapon.

Thus, the opponents the Hao Tian Pagoda matched for him would be of the highest difficulty and combat power!

Fuxiao Xi, Jishao Hao, and Shixiao Jia were all amazed. They had long suspected that Dizang was a powerful Nirvana king, perhaps even a near-immortal existence!

"Do you mean his name is Dizang?"

King Lingxiao's armor clanked as if powerful currents of air were flowing beneath it, his divine aura surging over his face. Despite the strange temple's will suppressing the divine aura, he could still release it.

"Yes, Dizang!"

"Perhaps he is an unmanifested Buddhist king from Black Mount Sumeru!"

Jishao Hao clasped his hands and said.

Shixiao Jia joined his hands in prayer, wanting to explain that Dizang was merely suspected to be a powerful figure from Black Mount Sumeru.

But he decided it wasn't necessary to clarify.

After all, from the Buddhist revelations and the powerful Buddhist nature Dizang had previously displayed, it was likely that an ancient Nirvana king from Black Mount Sumeru had awoken in this era, intending to participate in the crucial chaos of the ninth divine tide, seeking a chance to become immortal.

"Dizang... Black Mount Sumeru... Why do I have no memory of him? It's strange, a powerful Nirvana king like him shouldn't be unknown to me."

King Lingxiao frowned. Although he was the reincarnation of the Divine Emperor of the Dark Heavenly Court, he had an independent will. After achieving Nirvana, he was no longer a mere reincarnation but an independent entity.

King Lingxiao had long separated from his original body, and his goal was to become immortal.

"Regardless, this person might truly have a chance to succeed..."

"The Hao Tian Pagoda and the Nine Dragons Ten Thousand Calamities Qi... Will these two Two Sage Divine Weapons really be taken out?"

King Lingxiao's eyes suddenly sparkled brilliantly.

...

...

At this moment.

Inside the Hao Tian Pagoda.

After breaking through from the eighth to the ninth level, Li Che couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The eighth level of the Hao Tian Pagoda contained thirty-six extremely powerful divine sculptures. These divine sculptures, similar to mechanical beasts, were sculptures that had been infused with unique divine energy, making them incredibly powerful.

Moreover, these divine sculptures, due to their strength, had even greater concealment and masking abilities. The spirit pivot points within the sculptures were hidden more deeply, making the core mortise and tenon joints even harder to find.

Even with the help of the Star Plucking Eye, Li Che had to use all his strength.

His Sacred Body was almost pushed to its limits, combined with the Six Desires Void Sword Technique and the Space Body Technique.

"Swallowtail Yin-Yang Joint, Serpent Curved Joint, Interlocking Joint... I've learned quite a bit of good stuff!"

"This Hao Tian Pagoda hides a divine craft technique called Divine Sculpture Craft!"

No wonder the world has a tradition of divine sculpture techniques, capturing divine energy through the essence of craftsmanship...

On the ninth level, under the compassionate Dizang mask, Li Che's eyes shone brightly, and he felt a sense of excitement.

In his heart, the Dao Fruit of Divine Craft was pulsing at an unprecedented rate!

[Dao Fruit: Divine Craft (Level 7, 98%)]

He had been facing challenges one after another, finding the core mortise and tenon joints of the divine sculptures, and with high efficiency, he had broken through to the ninth level.

The only unfortunate thing was that when the earlier levels were relatively easy, Li Che could still learn some divine sculpture techniques while facing the challenges. As the levels increased in difficulty, Li Che could no longer learn new techniques while fighting the divine sculptures, so he focused solely on breaking through, causing the Dao Fruit's maturity to progress more slowly.

The eighth level, with thirty-six divine sculpture beasts, had pushed Li Che to his limits, leaving him struggling to keep up, with no time to focus on improving the Dao Fruit.

Li Che wasn't even sure he could break through the ninth level.

With a powerful burst of momentum, Li Che was propelled into the ninth level. His gaze swept across the vast space, and he saw the massive central pillar reaching the top. Lifting his head, he could see the ceiling adorned with star patterns, ancient runes etched upon it, exuding a mysterious aura.

But that wasn't the main focus.

Li Che's attention was drawn to the numerous figures in front of him.

A quick glance revealed the number: seventy-two divine sculptures, their divine energy intertwining, resembling statues of divine beings standing in the hall, exuding a sense of grandeur and majesty.

The overwhelming pressure from the seventy-two divine sculptures made Li Che feel suffocated.

Li Che was well aware that in his current state, even with the help of his Mortal Sacred Body and the Dao Fruit of Divine Craft's ability to locate and capture the spirit pivots, it would be extremely difficult to defeat the seventy-two divine sculptures. The probability of failure was high.

Once he fails...

Li Che will lose his qualification to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and reunite with his daughter.

Therefore, Li Che is very cautious. Entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and reuniting with Xixi is incredibly important to him now.

He cannot afford to fail.

Many things Li Che does are carefully considered, as he needs to think about the consequences and ensure a stable outcome.

The miscalculation at the Third Prince’s mysterious temple was the only mistake in his cultivation journey, and Li Che feels great remorse, constantly reflecting on it.

Sitting cross-legged, Li Che directly ascends to the ninth floor of the Hao Tian Pagoda, ready to challenge.

With a slight movement of his mind, the heavenly chessboard instantly expands.

Then, the shocking Nine Heaven Runes Blade appears before Li Che’s eyes.

The Immortal will trembles, and immortal energy swirls. Standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes flicker as he faces the seemingly illusory Nine Heaven Runes Blade on the heavenly chessboard!

Boom—!!!

When he opens his eyes again, Li Che begins to sketch the third ancient rune!

On the Nine Heaven Runes Blade, one ancient rune after another starts to dance, like spirits leaping and bounding.

Soon, the third ancient rune appears, and Li Che sketches it with his Immortal will, quickly completing the third rune on the heavenly chessboard!

Rumble—

A powerful aura of heavenly might bursts from Li Che’s body, as if transforming into Cosmic Will.

After breaking through to the Immortal and Divine Being realms, Li Che’s soul has become even stronger, and his Immortal will and Divine Being thoughts have greater capacity.

Thus, sketching the third ancient rune is much easier than expected.

The successful formation of the third ancient rune greatly enhances the power of Li Che’s Immortal Martial Art, the Nine Heaven Runes Blade.

However, the purpose of sketching the third ancient rune is not solely to improve this martial art, but to push his Divine Craft Dao Fruit to perfection in one go.

Nine Divine Mechanisms Seal… Lin Bing Dou Zhe Jie Zhen Lie Xing!

Li Che chooses to fuse the divine seal that harmonizes with the ancient runes!

After a brief moment, the selection is complete, and the Array Seal fuses with the third ancient rune!

Rumble—!!!

The moment the fusion is complete!

Li Che’s black robe flutters, his eyes seem to emit a dense golden mist, and he appears to leap out of the cloud sea, gazing at the heavens and earth!

His eyes open and close, entering a profound and mysterious state!

His understanding of the art of mechanisms and the inspiration from the Divine Sculpture Craft expand and fill his mind in an instant!

Before him, the golden mist flows and coalesces like incense.

[Dao Fruit: Divine Craft (Level 8, 0%)]

In one go, a sudden clarity!

A faint smile appears on Li Che’s lips, giving him a sense of everything being under control!

Of course, there is also a pleasant surprise.

Primarily, the Hao Tian Pagoda is equipped with numerous Divine Sculpture Crafts, which have significantly promoted and enhanced Li Che’s skills in Divine Sculpture.

If he relied solely on the fusion and understanding of the third ancient rune to improve, it would take some time for the Divine Craft Dao Fruit to achieve the sixth transformation.

But now, it doesn’t seem to be a problem!

“Exhale—”

“Inhale—”

With each breath, everything calms down.

The terrifying pressure emanating from the seventy-two Divine Sculpture Crafts dissipates from Li Che’s body.

His mind trembles, and he is instantly pulled into the vast heavens and earth.

The familiar vast heavens and earth, with boundless and unfathomable aura, and towering Dao Trees rising from the ground, their branches stretching across heaven and earth.

On the branches of the Dao Trees, colorful crystal Dao Fruits hang.

Rushing—Rushing—

The Great Dao River surges and appears, like a continuous flow of heavenly water, with waterfalls cascading down. The Dao Fruits transform into Dao Boats, breaking through the waters and rushing up the Great Dao River.

Level 8, sixth transformation!

This is Li Che’s fourth Dao Fruit to achieve the sixth transformation, and the fourth Dao Boat appears, carrying Li Che up the Great Dao of Divine Craft!

The Dao is boundless, with various divine seals and mechanisms intertwining, and Li Che feels a sense of tranquility and joy.

At the end of the Great Dao River, Li Che sees a figure in simple clothing, holding an axe in one hand and a chisel in the other, carving a star stone, with countless star fragments falling and emitting a shimmering light.

Li Che knows that this must be the Dao Fruit Master of the Divine Craft Dao Fruit.

After all, this is not the first time Li Che has experienced such a scene. For the previous three Dao Fruits that achieved the sixth transformation, he also met the Dao Fruit Master, and this time is no exception.

Li Che is very much looking forward to meeting the Dao Fruit Master, as it feels like a dialogue with the Dao. In this dialogue, his understanding of the Dao of Divine Craft will skyrocket, and his achievements in this Dao will greatly improve.

The river rushes, the lone boat sways, and Li Che sits on it, conversing with the Dao Fruit Master who is carving the star stone.

The Dao Fruit Master’s voice is ethereal, answering all of Li Che’s questions about the Divine Craft.

It’s unclear how much time has passed.

Li Che slowly opens his eyes on the ninth floor’s open ground.

He exhales a turbid breath, and before his eyes, white light glows.

[Dao Fruit Level 8, sixth transformation, Dao Tribulation (Primordial Slash) advanced, Divine Craft Boat]

...

The prompts intertwine and coalesce.

Li Che’s mind trembles.

Then, four Dao Boat shadows appear around him, forming a realm that seems to isolate the Dao.

Within this realm, Li Che’s mastery of the four Dao Powers is greatly enhanced and improved, such as his Dao Tribulation, Dao Guidance, and Divine Child, all gaining boosts.

“Dao Boat… This is a Power higher than Dao Tribulation and Dao Guidance, and my understanding and development of it are still insufficient.”

Li Che’s eyes flickered open, and as more and more Dao boats coalesced, his understanding grew deeper.

"Dao boats... the Great Dao boat, capable of traversing the Great Dao River. Perhaps they can also channel the power of the Great Dao River?"

Li Che had this thought, but he needed to verify it.

He slowly stood up.

In his chest, the Dao Fruit of Divine Craft that he had just obtained from the Sixth Transformation throbbed, as if invisible ripples were spreading out.

It was as if an invisible treasure ship enveloped Li Che, and with each step, the ship surged forward like a vessel breaking through waves.

Li Che’s fleshy brow center split open, and the Star Plucking Eye appeared. With the enhancement from the Dao boat, the power of this divine ability grew even stronger.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The seventy-two Divine Sculpture Crafts, the moment Li Che entered their range, their eyes flickered, and with the sound of gears turning, they all began to move!

Li Che looked at the numerous mechanical changes of the Divine Sculpture Crafts, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes.

"This Hao Tian Pagoda... why is it so devoted to the art of divine sculpture? Every level’s test is centered around divine sculpture..."

Li Che’s brows furrowed slightly.

Could the temple god, Jade Emperor Hao Tian, be a master of divine sculpture?

This thought had been lingering in Li Che’s mind ever since he entered the Hao Tian Pagoda, and he couldn’t shake it off.

However, now was not the time to ponder these questions; he needed to clear the ninth level!

A sword beam whistled through the air, his physical body trembling as the Mortal Sacred Body roared, and Immortal Engravings flickered and intertwined. In an instant, Li Che appeared behind one of the Divine Sculpture Crafts. He snapped his finger, striking the craft’s spirit pivot point, causing the mechanical joints to spring out from its back.

Under the gaze of the Star Plucking Eye, the joint structure was clearly presented before him.

[Cristal Stacking Joint]

Another new type of joint structure, making the divine sculpture flexible and forming a core power source.

Li Che’s eyes lit up slightly.

Boom, boom, boom—

The other Divine Sculpture Crafts also sprang into action, their powerful energy instantly causing space to crack like a spider web.

Surrounded by the faint shadow of a Dao boat, Li Che’s sword beams crisscrossed, and the Six Desires Void Sword Technique merged with the Dao of Space. Li Che moved through the void as freely as a fish in water.

...

...

"It’s been a long time..."

"Looks like the ninth level is much more difficult, perhaps the most challenging test."

Seeing the light of the ninth level still shining brightly, the gods outside the Hao Tian Pagoda couldn’t help but exhale.

Lingxiao King stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep, but a hint of regret also appeared in them.

"Unfortunately, he’s been stopped. He couldn’t maintain the momentum. It seems... Dizang is likely to fail."

Lingxiao King said calmly.

Indeed, taking two Second Sage Divine Weapons from the Jade Emperor Hao Tian’s strange temple was no easy feat.

Dizang had cleared the first eight levels so quickly, almost like a whirlwind, but the light of the ninth level had been shining for so long, nearly as long as the time he spent on the first eight levels.

Without a doubt, Dizang had encountered a significant obstacle, and perhaps, he wouldn’t be able to overcome it.

Shixiao Jia clasped his hands together, a look of regret appearing on his face.

"Unfortunately..."

As a silent but powerful figure from the Black Mount Sumeru, Shixiao Jia had hoped that Dizang would create a miracle.

But it seemed that the rules of the Second Sage’s strange temple were indeed too powerful.

Suddenly.

Someone let out a cry of surprise.

"It’s gone out!"

"The light of the ninth level... it’s extinguished!"

The cry echoed.

The gods below the Hao Tian Pagoda, who had been looking up, suddenly felt a slight tremor in their bodies.

Lingxiao King’s brows furrowed, and he lifted his head sharply. His divine face, woven with divinity, revealed a hint of surprise.

He saw the ninth level of the Hao Tian Pagoda, the bright light that had been shining, slowly fade into darkness.

Thus, all nine levels of light had shone, indicating that the strong warrior who had entered the tower had successfully cleared all nine levels!

He had completed the Hao Tian Pagoda’s test and was about to successfully control the Second Sage Divine Weapon!

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Under the gaze of the gods, the entire Hao Tian Pagoda erupted with light!

Clouds and mist swirled, and myriad rays of light shone!

The nine levels of light burst forth simultaneously, emitting countless auspicious rays!

It was as if the Great Dao was roaring, and the divinity within the strange temple was boiling and surging.

Then, in everyone’s eyes.

The Hao Tian Pagoda disappeared.

In its place was a tall figure floating in mid-air, wearing a white jade mask that exuded compassion, with jet-black, powerful hair dancing like black lightning in the wind.

And the enormous Hao Tian Pagoda had transformed into a small tower emitting seven-colored light, floating before the figure.

"It’s Dizang!"

"He succeeded!"

"Unbelievable, unimaginable... this predecessor actually managed to master two Divine Weapons!"

"The first in all of eternity!"

...

Cries of surprise echoed.

Fuxiao Xi, Jishao Hao, and other descendants of the First Generation Immortal bloodlines were utterly stunned.

Even though they had thought Dizang was mysterious and powerful, they were still greatly impacted when he truly mastered the second Second Sage Divine Weapon.

Li Che’s eyes snapped open, and he spread his fingers, palm facing up, supporting the Hao Tian Pagoda.

Auspicious light rained down, and myriad rays of light fell from his body.

Li Che’s eyes opened and closed, and a slight movement in his heart caused an ancient scripture to surge into his mind, transmitted from the Hao Tian Pagoda.

The Nine Joints of Divine Craft Scripture

It detailed various core joint structures, which would help Li Che perfect the development of mechanical beasts!

To elevate the mechanical beasts beyond the Divine Realm and grant them a significant boost, comparable to that of a Divine Being, was no easy task!

In fact, Li Che had once attempted to engrave the Nine Divine Mechanisms Seal, infused with the Heaven and Earth Ancient Rune, onto the mechanical beasts. However, the material of the mechanical beasts could not withstand the strain, leading to a loss of balance, control, and eventual explosion.

Now, with the Nine Joints of Divine Craft Scripture in hand, Li Che saw a glimmer of hope.

However, he was somewhat surprised that this divine craft secret technique had been passed down from the Hao Tian Pagoda within the bizarre Qitian Temple.

Nonetheless, it was a good thing. Ever since he had mastered the Tang family's mechanical techniques to the utmost, Li Che had found himself lacking in reference texts for divine mechanical craftsmanship.

Now, with the new divine craft technique, he was more than willing to embrace it.

Advancing in the path of divine craftsmanship was inherently difficult.

To elevate this Dao Fruit to the ninth transformation seemed incredibly challenging, with very little hope of success.

Now, he could still improve through the inheritance, but what about the future?

Even the master of divine craftsmanship's Dao Fruit had not reached the ninth transformation. Could Li Che... achieve it?

With a light sigh, Li Che dismissed these thoughts.

At the very least, now that he had the Hao Tian Pagoda and two Second Sage Divine Weapons in his possession, he had gained the qualification to pass through the bizarre temple silently and head to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

With a flick of his wrist, he absorbed the Hao Tian Pagoda into his body.

The pagoda directly entered the inner landscape of his Dantian, merging with his body. The Nine Dragons Ten Thousand Calamities Qi had already fused with his spine, and the Eight Marvelous Doors Immortal Seeds had absorbed the Nine Dragons Ten Thousand Calamities Qi.

Now, the Hao Tian Pagoda had entered his forehead Dantian, also merging with his body, and the aura of the Divine Weapon subtly enhanced his physical form.

Li Che now possessed quite a number of Divine Weapons.

The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, Kunlun Mirror, Gathering Immortals Banner (fragment), Nine Dragons Ten Thousand Calamities Qi, and Hao Tian Pagoda...

All these Divine Weapons were of extremely high quality.

The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade was the lowest among them, but in Li Che's heart, it held a significant place.

Strictly speaking, there was one more to consider: the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff he had gifted to the Qitian Temple God, which he had used to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

That Divine Weapon had also been refined by Li Che and was considered his own.

Li Che's body floated in the air, his black hair dancing wildly.

Several gazes were cast upon him.

Lingxiao King, with his hands behind his back, his armor clinking, his eyes radiating a highly oppressive gaze, spoke loudly.

"You... truly have remarkable skills, to be able to refine two Second Sage Divine Weapons and set a precedent for all eternity! I am truly amazed!"

"However, I am a well-known figure in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, yet I have never heard of your name. I wonder who you truly are?"

"Who lies beneath that mask?"

As the reincarnation of the Divine Emperor, Lingxiao King, though considered an independent entity, still had a clear perception of the Cosmic Will.

Li Che floated in the air, motionless, with the radiance of a Divine Weapon continuously bursting forth from behind him.

The Nine Dragons Ten Thousand Calamities Pool and the Hao Tian Pagoda hovered behind him, their divine light blinding, like two blazing suns rising in the sky.

"Sir... you’ve gone a bit too far."

Li Che spoke calmly, his voice distant and cold.

"Ha ha ha, I must admit, I’m truly curious."

"I apologize sincerely for offending King Dizang."

"I never imagined that King Dizang had already begun to grasp the power of the Cosmic Will... Truly remarkable."

Lingxiao King smiled and clasped his hands together.

As his words fell, the surrounding deities all drew in sharp breaths.

Shixiao Jia, who had tensed up when Lingxiao King made his move, now let out a deep breath.

Indeed, the strength of Senior Dizang was undoubtedly among the best of the Rebirth Kings, capable of standing up to Lingxiao King and even earning his respect.

Lingxiao King, the reincarnation of the Divine Emperor, was notorious for his arrogance and domineering nature.

Behind Li Che’s sorrowful white jade mask, his eyes were deep and somber.

The Chessboard of Heaven and Earth floated, concealing his aura, making it impossible for Lingxiao King to see through his disguise.

However, the pressure from a Rebirth King was indeed immense.

It was only due to Li Che’s numerous Dao Fruits reaching the sixth transformation and his enhanced mental state that he could remain calm.

Summoning the two refined Divine Weapons, Li Che immediately felt the strange temple become clear in his perception.

It was as if a suction force was emerging, capable of teleporting him away.

Li Che felt a faint joy in his heart.

But he did not show it.

"King Dizang... are you leaving?"

Lingxiao King’s gaze was deep, like two bolts of lightning, distorting the air currents within the temple as he stared at Li Che, full of pressure.

However, the power of the Cosmic Will that Li Che wielded still made Lingxiao King wary.

Anyone who could command the Cosmic Will was undoubtedly a Rebirth King, perhaps even a half-step Immortal. Once a battle began, they would be formidable enemies.

"Indeed... with two Second Sage Divine Weapons, you can no longer hide your presence."

"However, since you emerged in this divine tide, you probably don’t wish to remain low-key. With your cultivation and two Second Sage Divine Weapons, I look forward to meeting you in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Lingxiao King said.

Li Che gave him a faint glance.

"Is it the Divine Emperor of the Dark Heavenly Court I will meet?"

Li Che’s calm voice echoed, instantly silencing the entire scene.

Lingxiao King’s smile faded.

The surroundings were deathly silent.

"Hm... an Immortal Divine Emperor, I look forward to it."

His distant voice reverberated, and in the next moment, the space around him rippled like water.

The rule power of the strange temple descended, like a pillar of light pouring down, completely enveloping Li Che’s body.

In the eyes of the deities, Li Che’s form slowly disappeared, as if merging into the fabric of time, dissolving into the flow of the ages.

King Dizang vanished.

But his words left the deities breathless.

Lingxiao King stood where he was, his face cold and stern.

"Looking forward to meeting the Divine Emperor... does that mean you see me as just a reincarnation?"

Lightning seemed to flash in Lingxiao King’s eyes.

"Indeed, King Dizang."

He knew that King Dizang was retaliating against his domineering nature, which had driven him to act without hesitation.

The sarcasm and innuendo in his words did indeed make Lingxiao King somewhat irritated.

As a reincarnation, he had vowed to be an independent entity and could not tolerate such sarcasm.

Lingxiao King took a heavy step, and his entire body shot forward like a cannonball, shattering the air currents and leaving a white void in the strange temple.

He returned to the Sealing Heaven Seal, the Divine Weapon, and continued to comprehend it, as if trying to refine the Sealing Heaven Seal through the emotions of being mocked by King Dizang.

He was a reincarnation.

But he... had always been struggling, fighting for his freedom!

Cutting off his bonds, he would carve out his own future!

As long as he could attain immortality, he would no longer be a reincarnation of the Divine Emperor...

He would be the true Lingxiao King!

He would truly... be himself!

...

...

The feeling of making a bold move and then running away was exhilarating.

The void trembled.

Li Che felt a strong pulling sensation.

Unlike the thunderous vibrations when the Qitian Temple God had fought his way into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths from the inner city of Qitian, there was no earth-shattering noise, only a ripple like water.

It spread slightly, like a small pebble thrown into the vast sea, creating ripples in a corner, unnoticed.

When the light before his eyes dissipated, Li Che’s form materialized, with the Hao Tian Pagoda and the Nine Dragons Ten Thousand Calamities Pool hovering behind him, one on each side.

A powerful divine aura radiated out.

Li Che’s mind moved slightly, and the two Divine Weapons were absorbed into his body.

Floating in the air, he looked down at the endless mountains below.

But Li Che only glanced once, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curve upward.

He closed his eyes, and his heart began to beat fiercely.

In the next moment, his eyes snapped open.

Raising his hand, he touched his forehead.

The Chessboard of Heaven and Earth shot up into the sky, expanding and swirling.

Li Che’s mind trembled, establishing a connection with the thunder chess piece left on Xixi, and began to lock onto and determine Xixi’s location.

"Xixi..."

"Father is coming!"
