Chapter 79: Unfavorable Spirit Child, Divine Foundation's Old Ascent
Chapter 79: Unfavorable Spirit Child, Divine Foundation's Old Ascent
Mastering the Seven Emotions... Can One Attain Divinity?
In the mysterious temple, the deities fell one by one.
But could he ascend to divinity through this method?
Li Che had no idea and no concept of this; it was too far-fetched for him at the moment.
Moreover, he had just begun to grasp divinity, and without even establishing a single divine foundation, thinking about these things was indeed meaningless.
Li Che's divine nature improved rapidly, mainly due to external assistance.
【Crying Wrath】 contained fragments of the Si Family Patriarch's Divine Foundation, so he easily reached the Cultivating Nature River realm.
【Wrathful Maitreya】 was refined from Zhao Xuanhai's eighteen Divine Essence Chess Pieces, allowing him to cultivate to the Cultivating Nature River realm.
As for the newly cultivated 【Chaos Bliss Confusion】, it was a bit slower. After all, with the recently condensed divine nature, it would probably take some time to cultivate to the Cultivating Nature River realm.
However, at the rate he was refining chess pieces now, it shouldn't take too long.
"There's also Yang Family's 【Heart Shocking Iron Fist】, the fourth divine nature... I should give it another try."
"【Crying Wrath】 and 【Wrathful Maitreya】 are both at the Cultivating Nature River realm. One plus one... I wonder if it can compare to the Divine Foundation?"
Li Che's eyes widened slightly, and in an instant, various divine natures intertwined and raged within the room, shining brilliantly.
There were wailing cries, deafening sounds of wrath, and distant laughter that came and went...
The divine nature manifested in various forms.
Li Che sat cross-legged, and the gentle breeze blew his clothes, causing his black hair to fly horizontally.
His eyes were clear and bright, and his 【Pure Heart】 trembled, but it prevented him from being affected by the divine nature, avoiding side effects like distorted expressions, emotional outbursts, and chaotic will.
For example, when Si Mubai cultivated 【Crying Wrath】, he would often cry uncontrollably.
Zhou Ruoguan, when cultivating 【Chaos Bliss Confusion】, couldn't help but laugh incessantly.
These were all side effects of cultivating divine nature.
Li Che slowly strolled to the window.
The dark east faintly glowed with a faint light, but it was quickly obscured by thick clouds.
"I feel... like I've reached the limit..."
"My physical body has reached its limit."
Li Che frowned, and as he attempted to remove the 【Pure Heart】 that maintained balance, his body trembled slightly, and his three divine natures simultaneously spread out.
The vital energy of his Qi Pulse realm physical body erupted uncontrollably, causing his muscles and bones to resonate. He felt an uncontrollable sense of divine nature.
If not for the suppression of the 【Pure Heart】, he might have already exhibited various signs of losing control.
For instance, he might have teared up, spoken with uncontrollable laughter in his words, or occasionally turned red with anger...
Even without activating Vajra Transformation, his physical body, strengthened by the innate talent of the 【Lion Elephant Vajra】 Immortal Art Fruit, was extremely solid, and it struggled to withstand the impact of three divine natures...
Of course, it was also possible that the pressure of bearing three divine natures far exceeded that of bearing one...
It wasn't as simple as one plus one equals three.
However, if Li Che were to activate Vajra Transformation or Wrathful Eye Vajra, he should be able to easily withstand the impact of the three divine natures.
In short, his physical body's horizontal cultivation was still not strong enough.
"No wonder Elder Qingshan said that to establish a Divine Foundation, one's physical body can't be too weak... If the physical body can't bear the divine nature, it will be manipulated by it, losing one's self, how can one then talk about the Divine Foundation?"
Li Che now deeply understood this.
Martial cultivation was still important and couldn't be neglected.
Currently, he had just entered the Qi Pulse realm, and he still needed to achieve the Mystic Pulse and Divine Pulse, striving to break through to the Master Level.
Although he could actively stimulate the Immortal Art Fruit to obtain a robust physical body, he couldn't neglect his foundation.
The more divine natures he condensed, the stronger his physical body needed to be. If his physical body couldn't keep up with the growth of his divine nature...
Once his emotions spiraled out of control...
Wouldn't he die?
...
...
For an entire day, Li Che didn't leave his home.
He didn't go to the independent workshop or anywhere else.
It wasn't that he was unwilling, but he was waiting.
Li Che wasn't foolish, nor did he think everyone else was.
The more the Ox Demon appeared and took action, the greater the chance of exposure.
Moreover, he had brought Xi Xi to attack the Yang Family, and Zhang Xiangyang had witnessed it.
Even if he couldn't confirm that the Ox Demon was Li Che, based on Xi Xi alone, this day shouldn't have been calm.
There should have been some storms brewing.
Therefore, Li Che chose to stay at home, quietly awaiting a great wave.
Of course, during this waiting period, he didn't neglect his cultivation. In his free time, he studied the two divine nature martial arts manuals he had obtained: 《Python Dragon Cannon》 and 《Cloud Hawk Cloud Soar》.
Divine nature martial skills were still martial skills and needed to be mastered like martial cultivation.
As for the Nine Star Level divine nature secret technique "Blissful Head Smash," Li Che didn't start cultivating it.
Divine nature secret techniques and divine nature martial skills were slightly different.
Divine nature martial skills could be treated as martial skills, and the 【Lion Elephant Vajra】 Immortal Art Fruit could provide enhancement.
However, divine nature secret techniques required the manipulation of divine nature through a unique route...
They belonged to the "Law" category and required the understanding of the law category.
【Bodhimanda Golden Robe】 was also a Nine Star Level divine nature secret technique, and Li Che had only barely entered its threshold.
……
……
Thunder City, City Governor's Mansion.
A white streak of light, swift as lightning, returned from the outskirts and landed on the ground, its aura fluctuating.
Behind it, another figure followed, barely hanging on to life.
Cao Qingyuan sensed this and immediately rushed over. Seeing the state of the two, he was greatly shocked.
"Father..."
Cao Qingyuan was startled. Weren't they supposed to stop the mysterious powerful individual outside the city, suspected to be from the Divine Sect?
How did they end up like this?
Including the two patriarchs from the Yang and Xu families, that made four Divine Foundation Cultivators, and among them was his father, a Middle Stage Divine Foundation Cultivator. Yet, someone was injured?
"Great-grandfather..."
Cao Qingyuan looked at the injured cultivator, a Wrathful Maitreya who had stepped into the Divine Foundation Realm. His mask was shattered, revealing an extremely aged face.
At this moment, the old man's face was pale, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, indicating a severe injury.
"It's nothing... After swallowing the Divine Nature, I'll recover after a while."
The old man waved his hand lightly.
"The Divine Sect cultivators are indeed not something we rural cultivators can compare to... Even with the main body of their Divine Foundation not present, most of their Divine Nature not revealed, they still managed to suppress the four of us..."
"This person is definitely not an ordinary cultivator from the Divine Sect. Which branch of the Eternal Origin Divine Sect is he from?"
"This person's Vital Energy Martial Arts... I fear he has already reached the Master Level. He suppressed us solely with his Vital Energy Martial Arts..."
"The Divine Nature is not revealed, neither Divine Nature Secret Techniques nor Divine Martial Skills have been used, purely relying on Vital Energy Martial Arts..."
City Lord Cao Guang removed his mask, his face dark and uncertain.
"I know about the Yang Family's matter... The attempt to capture the Spirit Child failed, and only the Spirit Child from the An Family was delivered. The two Divine Abilities of the Xu Family, especially that High-Grade Spirit Child, escaped capture once again."
"Is it that Ox Demon causing trouble again?"
City Lord Cao Guang sat in his armchair, his Divine Nature fluctuating, his face calm.
Upon hearing this, Cao Qingyuan's eyes flashed.
"The Ox Demon... intervened again, saving Li Che's daughter, Li Nuanxi. It's not a coincidence, and... that Ox Demon has an extremely close relationship with Li Nuanxi. I suspect..."
Cao Qingyuan shared his speculation.
Cao Guang took a sip of hot tea.
"You suspect... that Li Che is the Ox Demon?"
"But Li Che is just a Bone Tempering cultivator, and three years ago, he was merely a Mud-Legged One who hadn't even started cultivating. How could he be the Ox Demon?"
"Do you think he's hiding his cultivation? Could he conceal his cultivation from so many Divine Foundation Cultivators?"
Cao Qingyuan's neck stiffened, but he still nodded.
"Interesting... If he's really the Ox Demon, it would be quite unbelievable."
Cao Guang laughed.
"The old man from the Yang Family has also returned. Seeing his family annihilated... he must be furious."
"That old fellow was meticulous in managing the family, but in the end... he suffered a tragic fate with all the family experts perishing. Although there are still many family members outside the city, how can they support a whole family?"
"This old fellow will probably go insane."
"Perfect... Qingyuan, go and share your speculation with the old man from the Yang Family."
"Regardless of whether Li Che is the Ox Demon or not..."
"For many people, no evidence is needed, a mere speculation is enough."
"In fact, even if Li Che isn't the Ox Demon, he must have an extremely important connection with him... That High-Grade Spirit Child, Li Nuanxi, is also quite a nuisance. She has caused the deaths of many of my subordinates, hasn't she?"
"An ominous Spirit Child, it's better to eliminate her..."
Cao Guang, seated in his high-backed armchair made of sandalwood, drank a mouthful of green tea, his expressionless face.
As if a few words were enough to decide the fate of that innocent girl.
...
...
The sky gradually darkened.
In an instant, the morning turned into evening.
In the study, Li Che finished refining the Divine Essence Chess Piece, and looked up at the sky.
In the courtyard.
Xi Xi played with the Wobbly Cart, laughing non-stop.
Zhang Ya practiced martial arts earnestly by her side, sweating profusely.
Everything was peaceful and harmonious.
As if...
The calm before the storm!
The tranquility lasted for an unknown duration, until the sky turned completely dark.
Li Che suddenly opened his eyes, and within his chest, the Chess Sage Fruit trembled slightly.
The Heaven Earth Chessboard surrounding the house vibrated with intertwining lines...
On the chessboard, an extremely powerful Divine Nature aura was revealed, like a vast sun, standing out prominently on the chessboard map.
As if there were screams everywhere, crying, laughing, and howling, densely packed, overwhelming, sometimes distant, sometimes near...
That was...
The fierce Divine Nature of a Divine Foundation Cultivator!
Unrestrained and unconcealed!
Like a river tide rising tens of meters high, enveloped in mighty momentum, it rolled in!
Li Che abruptly raised his head.
"Have they arrived...?"
"Yang Jia Laodeng!"
