Chapter 542: Divine Engineer Six Transcendences - Heaven and Earth Three Rune Blades Battle Nirvana, Dual Second Sage Divine Weapons Arrive for Father (Part 1)
The ninth level!
As the light on the eighth level of the Heavenly Tower dimmed, the ninth level glowed brightly, and the numerous gods surrounding the tower fell silent.
Lingxiao King, with his hands behind his back, had ancient runes seemingly revolving in his eyes. He stared at the bright ninth level of the Heavenly Tower, a hint of surprise in his heart.
The speed... it was too fast!
Each level of the Heavenly Tower contained marvelously crafted monsters, each meticulously sculpted with formidable combat strength, severely testing physical prowess.
Even a Nirvana Divine Being would find it difficult to easily reach the ninth level in terms of physical strength.
"How did he manage to do this?"
Lingxiao King, the reincarnation of a Divine Emperor, took a deep breath. If it were him, relying solely on his physical strength, it would be very difficult to reach the ninth level at such a speed.
Moreover, don’t forget that this powerful figure named Dizang had already refined the Nine Dragons Ten Thousand Calamities Qi and wielded a Second Sage Divine Weapon.
Thus, the opponents the Heavenly Tower matched for him would be at the highest difficulty level in terms of strength and challenge!
Fu Shaohui, Ji Shaohao, and Shi Shaokai were utterly amazed. They had long believed that Dizang was an incredibly powerful Nirvana King, possibly even a half-step Immortal!
"You say his name is Dizang?"
Lingxiao King, clad in armor that clanged with the sound of surging energy currents, had divinity continuously surging on his face, even under the suppression of the temple’s will.
"That’s right, Dizang!"
"Perhaps he is an unborn Buddhist King from the Black Xumi Temple!"
Ji Shaohao clasped his hands and said.
Shi Shaokai joined his hands in prayer, intending to explain that Dizang was merely suspected to be a powerful figure from Black Xumi.
But upon reflection, he decided it wasn’t necessary.
After all, from the Buddhist revelations and the powerful Buddhist nature Dizang had previously mentioned, it was likely that an ancient Black Xumi Nirvana King had awoken in this era, ready to participate in the crucial ninth God Tide.
To seize the opportunity for Immortality.
"Dizang... Black Xumi... Why is there no memory of him in my mind? It shouldn’t be. A Nirvana King as powerful as him should not be forgotten, strange."
Lingxiao King frowned. Although he was the reincarnation of a Divine Emperor from the Dark Heavenly Court, he possessed an independent will. After achieving Nirvana, he was no longer a mere reincarnation but an independent entity.
Lingxiao King had long separated from his original self, and his goal was to become an Immortal.
"Regardless, this person might truly have a chance to succeed..."
"The Heavenly Tower and the Nine Dragons Ten Thousand Calamities Qi... Are these two Second Sage Divine Weapons really going to be taken out?"
Lingxiao King's eyes suddenly burst with brilliant light.
...
...
At this moment.
Inside the Heavenly Tower.
After breaking through from the eighth to the ninth level, Li Che couldn’t help but catch his breath.
The eighth level of the Heavenly Tower contained thirty-six extremely powerful Divine Carvings. These Divine Carvings, akin to mechanical beasts, were sculptures imbued with unique divinity, making them incredibly powerful.
Moreover, as these Divine Carvings grew stronger, their ability to conceal and obscure also increased, making their hidden joints and mortise-and-tenon cores even more difficult to find.
Even with the Star-Picking Eye, Li Che had to exert his utmost effort.
His Sacred Body was pushed to its limits, and he combined it with the Six Desires Void Sword Technique, executing spatial movement techniques to the fullest extent.
"Swallowtail Yin-Yang Joint, Snake-Curved Joint, Interlocking Joint... I’ve learned quite a few good things!"
"This Heavenly Tower contains a divine art of Divine Carvings!"
No wonder the art of Divine Carvings has been passed down in the mortal world, capturing divinity through the essence of form and replacing divinity...
On the ninth level, Li Che’s eyes, hidden behind the compassionate Dizang mask, shone brightly. His heart was filled with excitement.
Within his heart, the [Divine Engineer] Dao Guo was bouncing at an unprecedented speed!
[Dao Guo: Divine Engineer (Lv7, 98%)]
He had been dealing with each challenge, finding the mortise-and-tenon cores of the Divine Carvings, and breaking through to the ninth level with high efficiency.
The only regret was that when the earlier levels were relatively easy, Li Che could still learn some techniques while dealing with the challenges. As the levels increased in difficulty, he could no longer learn techniques while fighting the Divine Carvings, so his focus shifted entirely to breaking through, causing the growth of Dao Guo to slow down significantly.
On the eighth level, the thirty-six Divine Carving beasts were already pushing Li Che to his limits, leaving him flustered and unable to focus on improving Dao Guo.
For the ninth level, Li Che couldn’t guarantee he could break through.
A powerful surge of force pushed Li Che into the ninth level. His gaze swept over the vast expanse, and he saw the Heaven-Bearing Pillar already reaching the top.
Lifting his head, he could even see the ceiling adorned with star patterns, ancient runes engraved upon it, exuding a profound aura.
But that wasn’t the main concern.
Li Che’s eyes focused on the numerous figures before him.
A quick glance allowed him to count the number: a total of seventy-two Divine Carvings of Divine Craft, their divine essence intertwining, like statues of gods, standing in the hall, radiating majesty and grandeur.
The overwhelming aura of power emanating from the seventy-two Divine Carvings made Li Che feel almost suffocated.
Li Che was well aware that in his current state, even with the assistance of his Mortal Sacred Body and the Divine Engineer Dao Guo’s efforts to locate and capture the Divine Carvings, the chances of defeating them were slim, and the probability of failure was high.
If he failed…
Li Che would lose the opportunity to enter the Jiutian Shidi and reunite with his daughter.
Therefore, Li Che was extremely cautious. Entering the Jiutian Shidi and reuniting with Xixi was crucial for him now.
He couldn’t afford to fail.
Li Che always thought carefully before acting, as he needed to consider the consequences and strive for a stable outcome.
The one time he miscalculated, in the Third Prince’s Mysterious Temple, was the only mistake in his cultivation journey. Li Che felt deeply remorseful and constantly reflected on it.
Sitting cross-legged, Li Che settled down directly on the ninth level of the Heavenly Tower, not immediately challenging.
With a slight movement of his mind, the heaven and earth chessboard expanded instantly.
Then, the shocking Nine Heavenly Will Runes Blade appeared before Li Che’s eyes.
The Mystic Immortal Will stirred, the Immortal Qi swirling as he stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze flickering, facing the seemingly illusory Nine Heavenly Will Runes Blade on the heaven and earth chessboard!
Boom—!!
When he opened his eyes again, Li Che began to sketch the third Heavenly Earth Ancient Rune!
On the Nine Heavenly Will Runes Blade, one ancient rune after another began to dance, tinkling like spirits.
Soon, the third ancient rune leaped out, and Li Che used the Mystic Immortal Will to sketch it, quickly completing the third ancient rune on the heaven and earth chessboard!
Rumble—
A powerful celestial aura erupted from Li Che’s body, as if he had become the Will of Heaven and Earth.
After breaking through to the Immortal and God realms, Li Che’s soul had become even stronger, and the carrying capacity of his Mystic Immortal Will and Divine Spirit Thought had also increased significantly.
Thus, sketching the third Heavenly Earth Ancient Rune was much easier than he had imagined.
The successful formation of the third ancient rune greatly enhanced the power of Li Che’s Immortal Martial Art, the Nine Heavenly Earth Runes Blade.
However, the purpose of sketching the third ancient rune was not solely for this martial art; it was to push the Divine Engineer Dao Guo to perfection in one go.
Nine Divine Mechanisms Seal… Lin Bing Dou Zhe Jie Zhen Lie Xiang Qian!
Li Che chose to fuse the divine seal that resonated with the Heavenly Earth Ancient Rune!
After a moment, the selection was completed, and the Array Character Seal fused with the third Heavenly Earth Ancient Rune!
Rumble—!!
The moment the fusion was complete, Li Che’s black robe fluttered, and his eyes seemed to emit a dense golden mist, as if he had leaped out of the cloud sea, gazing at the heavens!
His eyes opened and closed, entering a profound and mysterious state!
His understanding of the principles of mechanisms and the inspiration from the Divine Carvings suddenly expanded, flooding his mind!
Before him, the golden mist flowed and coalesced like incense.
[Dao Guo: Divine Engineer (Level 8, 0%)]
With a surge of determination, everything became clear!
A faint smile appeared on Li Che’s lips, a sense of everything being under control!
Of course, there was also a pleasant surprise.
The main reason was that the Heavenly Tower had so many Divine Carvings of Divine Craft, which significantly promoted and enhanced Li Che’s understanding of Divine Carvings.
If he relied solely on the fusion and comprehension of the third ancient rune to improve, it would take some time for the Divine Engineer Dao Guo to achieve the Six Transcendences.
But now, it didn’t seem to be a problem!
"Exhale—"
"Inhale—"
With each breath, everything calmed down.
The terrifying aura of power emanating from the seventy-two Divine Carvings dissipated around Li Che.
His mind stirred, and he was instantly drawn into the vast heavens.
The familiar vast heavens, with boundless and unfathomable energy, the towering Dao Tree rising from the ground, its branches stretching out, covering the entire sky and earth.
Branches of the Dao Tree hung with colorful jade Dao Fruits.
Rushing water sounds filled the air—
The Great Dao River surged and appeared, like an endless stream of celestial water cascading down. The Dao Fruit transformed into a Dao Vessel, crashing through the water and surging onto the Great Dao River.
Dao Tree Level 8, Six Transcendences!
This was Li Che's fourth Six Transcendences Dao Fruit, and the fourth Dao Vessel emerged, carrying Li Che up the Divine Craft Dao Path!
The Dao Path was boundless, interwoven with various divine seals and mechanisms, and Li Che felt a sense of awe and joy.
At the end of the Great Dao River, Li Che saw a figure in simple clothing. The figure was very plain, holding an axe in one hand and a chisel in the other, carving a starstone. Countless star fragments fell, emitting a faint, star-like light.
Li Che knew that this must be the owner of the Divine Engineer Dao Fruit.
After all, this wasn't Li Che's first time experiencing such a scene. With the previous three Six Transcendences Dao Fruits, Li Che had also met the Dao Fruit Owner, and this time was no exception.
Li Che was looking forward to meeting the Dao Fruit Owner, as if it were a chance to converse with the Dao itself. Through this conversation, Li Che's insights into this Dao Path would soar, and his understanding and achievements in this Dao would skyrocket.
The river surged, and the solitary boat swayed. Li Che sat there, conversing with the Divine Engineer Dao Fruit Owner, who was carving the starstone.
The Dao Fruit Owner's voice was ethereal, and he answered all of Li Che's questions about the Dao of Divine Engineering.
He didn't know how long it had been.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes on the open ground of the ninth level.
He exhaled a breath of turbid air, and a white light shimmered before his eyes.
[Dao Tree Level 8, Six Transcendences, Dao Reincarnation (Primordial Void Slash) Ascended, Divine Engineer Dao Vessel]
...
The notifications converged and solidified.
Li Che's heart was stirred.
Then, four Dao Vessel shadows appeared around him, forming a domain that seemed to isolate the Dao.
Within this domain, Li Che's mastery of the four Dao powers would be greatly enhanced and improved. For example, the power of Dao Reincarnation, Dao Guidance, and Divine Child would all be amplified.
"Dao Vessel... This is a power that surpasses Dao Reincarnation and Dao Guidance. My understanding and development of it are still too limited."
Li Che's eyes opened and closed, and as more Dao Vessels condensed, his enlightenment grew deeper.
"Dao Vessel... the boat of the Dao, capable of traversing the Great Dao River. Perhaps it can also channel the power of the Great Dao River?"
Li Che had this thought, but it needed to be verified.
He slowly stood up.
In his chest, the newly obtained Six Transcendences Divine Engineer Dao Fruit throbbed, as if invisible ripples were spreading out.
As if an invisible treasure boat enveloped Li Che, he took a step, and the boat began to surge forward like it was riding the waves.
Li Che's brow split, and the Star-Picking Eye appeared. With the enhancement from the Dao Vessel, his divine abilities became even more powerful.
Buzzing sounds filled the air—
Seventy-two Divine Carvings of Divine Craft, upon Li Che entering their range, all had their eyes flicker. In the next moment, with the sound of mechanical clicks, they all came to life!
Li Che looked at the countless mechanisms of the Divine Carvings of Divine Craft, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"This Heavenly Tower... why does it so revere the Dao of Divine Carvings? Each level's trial is centered around divine carvings..."
Li Che's brows furrowed slightly.
Could the temple god Yuhuang Hao Tian be someone with great achievements in the Dao of Divine Carvings?
This was a thought that had formed in Li Che's mind since he entered the Heavenly Tower, and it had never left him.
However, now was not the time to think about these things, but to clear the ninth level!
Sword light whistled, and his physical body trembled. The Mortal Saint Body roared, and the Interwoven Immortal Patterns flickered. In an instant, Li Che appeared behind one of the Divine Carvings of Divine Craft, and with a flick of his finger, he struck the spirit pivot point on the carving, causing the mechanical joints to pop out.
Under Li Che's Star-Picking Eye, the description of the joint structure was presented before him.
[Cystal Overlay Joint]
Another new type of joint structure, allowing the divine carving to become more active and form a core driving force.
Li Che's eyes lit up.
Rumbling sounds echoed—
The other Divine Carvings of Divine Craft also sprang into action, their powerful forces instantly shattering the space like a spider web.
Surrounded by the floating shadows of Dao Vessels, Li Che's sword light crisscrossed, and the Six Desires Void Sword Technique integrated the Dao of Space. Li Che moved through the void as freely as a fish in water.
...
...
“It’s been a while…”
“It seems the ninth level is significantly more challenging, perhaps the most difficult of all.”
Seeing the light from the ninth level remain bright, the gods outside the Heavenly Tower couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
Lingxiao King stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep, but a hint of regret also appeared in his eyes.
“Too bad, he’s been obstructed and couldn’t push through in one go. It seems… Dizang is likely to fail.”
Lingxiao King said calmly.
Indeed, to retrieve two Second Sage Divine Weapons from the Jade Emperor Heavenly Mystic Temple is no easy feat.
Dizang’s quick passage through the first eight levels, like a sweeping force, was impressive, but the light from the ninth level has been shining for so long, almost matching the time Dizang spent on the first eight.
There’s no doubt that Dizang has encountered a significant obstacle, one that he might not be able to overcome.
Shi Shaokai clasped his hands together, a look of regret appearing on his face.
“Too bad…”
As a powerful figure yet to emerge from the Dark Xumi, Shi Shaokai had hoped that Senior Dizang could create a miracle.
But it seems the rules of the Second Sage Mystic Temple are indeed too formidable.
Suddenly.
Someone cried out in surprise.
“It’s gone out!”
“The light from the ninth level… it’s extinguished!”
The cry echoed through the air.
The gods below, who had been looking up at the tower, suddenly felt a slight tremor in their bodies.
Lingxiao King frowned, his divine features showing a hint of surprise as he lifted his head.
He saw the bright light from the ninth level of the Heavenly Tower flicker and then slowly fade into darkness.
With this, all nine levels of the tower had been illuminated, signaling that the powerful challenger had successfully passed all nine levels!
