Chapter 440: Let Seven‑Year‑Old Xixi Ascend to Lead Qianyuan as Sect Master, Tang Clan Divine Mechanism Reaches the Heavens, Qitian C

Large clouds white as cotton candy floated in the azure sky.

Sunshine brilliant, pouring down from high above, shone on the clouds, making them translucent, emitting golden edges, rosy light filling the sky, dreamlike and illusory.

A gentle breeze blew, carrying a cool draft.

Li Che sat under the eaves of the courtyard, unfolding the letter sent by Grand Elder Jiao Shaoxiu.

The wind brushed his dark robe, his coarse hair strands swaying lightly.

He flicked the letter, then slowly read it; the content was brief and uncomplicated, and after finishing Li Che folded it up again.

Tang Sanjia's letter had the same purpose as Li Che had guessed.

When they first left Jinguang Fu, Tang Sanjia gave Li Che the Tang Clan's mechanism archives; the intention was obvious—he hoped Li Che would one day master mechanism arts and the Divine Condor Technique, then return to help repair the mechanism beasts.

Since it was a promised matter, Li Che naturally would not refuse.

The Tang Clan mechanisms Tang Sanjia gave him had indeed helped Li Che greatly; at least, in the way of mechanisms, Li Che had made rapid progress thanks to Tang Sanjia's classics.

Whether it was the Blood Yang Nine Divine Gold Ape or the Twin-Winged Little Yinglong King, these half-step supreme mechanism beasts gave Li Che enormous aid.

Moreover, it also greatly enhanced his Immortal Craft Dao Fruit.

So Li Che put the letter away, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

His wife Zhang Ya glanced at him, eyes bright: "Husband, so you're returning to Jinguang Fu?"

Li Che nodded.

"What? Do you also want to come along?" Li Che smiled at Zhang Ya.

Zhang Ya hesitated, then shook her head: "Let's wait until Xixi comes back, then go together… Jinguang Fu is where our family left beautiful memories."

"I hope we can all go together as a family."

Hearing her, Li Che rubbed his wife's head, his fingers lightly threading through Zhang Ya's smooth black hair, and softly said: "Okay."

Although they said they would return, for Li Che going back to Jinguang Fu was merely a matter of a few flying star shifts.

With his current strength, distances within a single realm were not far for him.

He slowly rose to his feet, stretching his limbs.

A brilliant silver sword flash shot forth and swiftly returned.

It landed outside the courtyard, and he strode in with large steps.

Overwhelming tribulation power surged like boiling water, rolling hot waves spreading throughout every corner of the courtyard, filling it with a suffocating aura.

This was because he had just broken through and could not yet fully control his own tribulation power.

Lü Taibai's hair flew, his eyes no longer held disappointment or confusion, only joy.

"Ah Che, thank you."

Lü Taibai looked at Li Che, clasped his hands in salute.

As sect master, he nonetheless bowed deeply to Li Che, this elder, performing a great salute.

Li Che hastily returned the salute: "Sect master, what are you doing? You'll kill me."

Lü Taibai laughed loudly: "Thank you for contacting the netherworld, helping the Qianyuan Divine Sect overcome the crisis; without the netherworld… the Qianyuan Divine Sect would likely truly be destroyed in my hands."

The imperial army is truly not weak; indeed, it can be said to be extremely strong.

Whether it was the first mountain‑breaking sect assault or the second, being able to withstand and endure it was all thanks to the netherworld's aid.

In the second assault, even the high‑level netherworld appeared.

Lü Taibai, because he attempted to break through and enter tribulation in the Guiyi Miao of the Marvelous Dao Manifest Sagacity Three‑Eyed True Lord, had his perception of the outside world reduced to the lowest, unaware of the external situation.

But after leaving seclusion, Han Shu Fang briefly described it to him, specifically mentioning the existence above Yama—the Netherworld Ghost Emperor—who extended aid, helping the Qianyuan Divine Sect overcome the crisis.

"Sect master need not do this; Xixi is the junior sect of Qianyuan, and I am an elder of Qianyuan; the Qianyuan Divine Sect is like our home—protecting our homeland is our duty."

Li Che wore a gentle smile.

When not wearing the mask, he always appeared this gentle, honest, harmless sort.

Only when wearing the mask would there be emotional changes and leaks.

Lü Taibai nodded: "The withdrawal of the Shen Yun God this time will likely not happen again soon; at least, in the short term there should be no such opportunity, and Qitian Cheng will open shortly."

Li Che's expression gradually turned solemn, Qitian Cheng…

"Qitian Cheng, the inheritance left by the Qitian Temple, a top‑tier sect that once ruled half the world, belongs to the Three Pure Ones rank Guiyi Miao; within the Guique, it lies between the inner Guique and the earth Guique…"

"Moreover, Qitian Cheng once fell into decline, after which it was divided by various forces and sealed for five hundred years; now the Guiyi Miao has reopened, perhaps bringing unimaginable resources, and those forces that once divided Qitian Cheng's resources… will naturally yearn even more, desiring the complete inheritance."

Lü Taibai's aura rose and fell; he still could not fully control his post‑breakthrough power.

He exhaled and said: "As for us who have never obtained the Qitian inheritance, we naturally also want to give it a try."

"On this trip to Qitian Cheng, the Grandmaster Ancestor and I will accompany you; for the Grandmaster Ancestor, this journey to Qitian Cheng is also of utmost importance, he… is nearing his end."

Li Che heard and nodded.

"Only upon reaching the Divine Tribulation Realm does one realize… the present world's heavenly will is too fierce; the Three Calamities Nine Tribulations are like sharp swords constantly hanging over people's heads."

Lü Taibai shook his head.

His gaze fell on Li Che: "Ah Che, I have now broken through to the Divine Tribulation Realm; most of the time I must enter the Guique, for only there can I improve myself; therefore, the sect master position of the Qianyuan Divine Sect… will perhaps be handed over after Xixi finishes her training and returns."

"As junior sect master, I, the sect master, will step down, and naturally she will take over…"

Lü Taibai's words left Li Che stunned.

Ah?!

"Xixi is only seven…" Li Che smacked his lips.

A seven‑year‑old sect master…

Sounds pretty cool, but is it too fast?

After all, the girl is indeed still young.

Lü Taibai laughed: "What does seven matter? Xixi's combat ability is not weak either; after all, adding the mechanism arts I taught her, she can contend with a Martial Saint… besides, in the sect there is you and Old Fang to assist the girl, steady as can be."

Especially you, you brat…… I suddenly can't see through you.

With you here, the netherworld's power can lend aid; Xixi this girl will naturally be able to sit firmly as sect master.

Besides, I'm not dead; I just need to hide into the ghostly palace or a minor cave heaven like the Patriarch, to consolidate the calamity tribulation power.

That sect master position, the little girl will eventually sit upon; early or late makes no difference.

She may still lack some strength now, but that's because she's young; Xixi this girl has limitless future, becoming sect master of the Qianyuan Divine Sect is more than enough.

Within the sect, who dares to disobey? I'll go reason with them.

Lü Taibai's wide sleeves bulged with wind, he swept them back behind him, and chuckled lightly.

Li Che hearing that gave a warm smile: 'Indeed, the Qianyuan Divine Sect is still at its peak, with the Patriarch, the sect master, and me and Old Fang and others… indeed, the little girl now only needs to be a mascot sect master.'

Hahaha, a mascot? That's quite an apt description.

Lü Taibai burst into loud laughter.

When the girl returns from her training, we'll hold the sect master succession ceremony; some things should also be handed over to her.

Li Che's eyes flickered as he looked at Lü Taibai, thought a moment, and asked: 'Sect Master, the Qianyuan Divine Sect now has two Divine Tribulations enthroned, the Patriarch is even a Divine Tribulation grandmaster of One Calamity Two Tribulations, plus the sect master… in the Eleven Divine Sects of Dàjǐng, can our ranking rise considerably?'

Lü Taibai narrowed his eyes at the words: 'Should be possible… at least we can squeeze into the top five; as for the top three, hope is slim.'

The Purple Mansion Divine Sect of the Heavenly Master Dao, the Xiao Lingyin Temple of the West Ridge Dao, and the Purple Bamboo Grove of the South Sea Dao—these three great sects are, in my mind, universally recognized as the top three; within each sect there must be at least two Divine Tribulations or Martial Gods enthroned.

Besides, the Heavenly Master Dao's Purple Mansion Divine Sect certainly has more than two Divine Tribulations.

Lü Taibai said in a deep voice.

The Purple Mansion Divine Sect follows a cultivation path of coexistence and fusion with temple gods… they receive the temple gods' gifts, boosting their rise extremely fast… and as the oldest divine sect, it existed during the glorious era of Qitian Temple, and back then it was far from weak.

When speaking of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, Lü Taibai's expression grew very solemn.

At the Young Dragon Grand Assembly, Xixi killed the Purple Mansion Divine Sect's first Young Dragon, Zhang Yunlong; it can be said that this grudge may already have been forged.

In fact, the court's hosting of the Peach Blossom Assembly also aims to sow rifts and grudges among the divine sects, to the greatest extent possible preventing them from joining forces.

This time Qitian Cheng opens, the Purple Mansion Divine Sect… certainly won't stand by as a mere observer; they probably also wish to recreate Qitian Temple's former glory! Lü Taibai said rather firmly.

The glory of Qitian Temple?

Li Che narrowed his eyes.

Lü Taibai's silver hair flew wildly: 'Exactly, half the world's fortune gathers in Qitian's glory!'

The great surge of ghostly mist in the ghostly palace will rise; the court ordering the God of Fortune to smash mountains and break sects is also aimed at gathering fortune, and ancient sects like the Purple Mansion, Xiao Lingyin Temple, and South Sea Purple Bamboo Grove will naturally not remain idle.

Li Che hearing that, his eyes involuntarily shifted.

Gathering fortune?

What he has the God of Fortune do isn't just gathering fortune?

This fortune…

The court gathers it, the Purple Mansion gathers it, the Xiao Lingyin Temple gathers it…

If the netherworld gathers some, there's nothing wrong with that.

……

……

Lü Taibai did not linger long in the courtyard; his aura rose and fell unpredictably, constantly influencing the will of heaven and earth.

Lü Taibai had condensed the Three Calamities Dao Position; now breaking through the Divine Tribulation, he entered the tribulation via the Wind of God-Slaying Dao Position.

Like other Divine Tribulations, they similarly survive One Calamity One Tribulation, but their Dao Position is locked onto the later tribulation.

But Lü Taibai's Dao Position is locked onto the calamity; the Three Calamities naturally surpass the Nine Tribulations, and in terms of Dao essence and calamity-tribulation power, Lü Taibai will be somewhat stronger than an ordinary Divine Tribulation.

Breaking through the Divine Tribulation has three requirements: first condense the Dao Position; after the Dao Position is set, undergo the tribulation; upon passing the tribulation, open a minor cave heaven; completion of the cave heaven means the Divine Tribulation breakthrough succeeds…

Condensing the Dao Position is like applying for the qualification to enter the tribulation, to become a Divine Tribulation grandmaster; it's akin to registering in the current world's heavenly will, ranking among the divine class.

Li Che learned quite a bit from Lü Taibai.

Just as the Old Dragon God can, within a minor cave heaven, single-handedly face seven One Calamity One Tribulation cultivators and even gain the upper hand, because he cultivates the Ancestral Dragon Tribulation, condensing the Ancestral Dragon Dao Position; in the Dragon God path, the three Ancestral Dragon Tribulations correspond to the Three Calamities…

Thus his combat power must be a notch higher.

And now, Lü Taibai as a sword cultivator plus having condensed the Three Calamities Dao Position, his combat power is even more extraordinary.

Three Calamities Nine Tribulations, Three Ancestral Dragon Tribulations…

In the study, Li Che sat quietly upright, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and sipped it gently.

He raised his hand; a thread-thin purple Dao Tribulation fire, like a spider's silk, leapt forth.

Then my tribulation… must be higher than the Three Calamities and Three Ancestral Dragon Tribulations?

Li Che's eyes flickered, as if in thought.

According to the earlier reaction of heaven and earth's will, Li Che felt that the Dao Tribulation power he wielded was absolutely unlike the ordinary.

After all…

It is the product after the Dao Fruit's metamorphosis!

The firelight curled softly around his fingers; Li Che flicked it with a finger, the flames dispersed, his mind stirred, and he sank into the Dao Tribulation space.

Roar——!!!

The terrifying Primordial Dragon-Elephant Flame instantly turned into a fearsome sky‑high purple sea of fire, a colossal flame‑magic elephant spanning heaven and earth.

Oppressive, terrifying, annihilating…

The elephant's hooves stomped down heavily, as if overturning mountains and rivers, heaven collapsing and earth sinking.

Li Che endured for less than half a breath.

Then he was kicked out of the Dao Tribulation space…

His eyes opened, purple flames flickering; Li Che's fighting spirit rose, and he continued to endure the burning of the Dao Tribulation fire within the Dao Tribulation space.

After undergoing such torment.

Li Che wearily opened his eyes; cultivation was very difficult, the Dao Tribulation fire was too overpowering, and its pressure was immensely strong.

When facing the Dao Tribulation fire, he could not use the Eight Odd Gates, relying solely on his pure flesh to endure it.

"Huh——"

"Ah——"

Li Che's whole body was filled with distorted undulations.

His eyes opened and closed, then he took out a Three Purities-rank divinity crystal and began to absorb and cultivate with it.

Looking at the divinity crystal in his palm that was almost exhausted from absorption, Li Che rubbed his brow; he possessed an enormous number of divine fetuses, including a Three Purities-rank Heaven-Earth Enlightened True Monkey divine fetus, which demanded a huge amount of divinity.

A single Three Purities-rank divinity crystal was far from enough.

"Last time I killed the Old Dragon God…… I didn't use the God‑Binding technique, but directly fused the Old Dragon God into the Ten Ferocities Ink‑splatter Diagram; now that the Old Dragon God is gone, only one of the Ten Ferocities remains—the Overturning Sea Nine Infants……"

"The Old Dragon God's treasures are also gone."

Li Che let out a faint sigh.

However, he wasn't overly disappointed; beings like the Old Dragon God, at the end of their lifespan, usually had their hoards dedicated to their race.

I imagine there wasn't much treasure left……

After cultivating for a while, Li Che entered Ink City again, cultivating various forms of Incarnation Divine Martial.

Because he had mastered the Immortal Seed Martial Art Qilin Suppress Void Seal, Li Che realized that above Incarnation Divine Martial there was a new martial realm; he intended to fully develop and elevate the martial arts drawn from the Odd Gate Divine Seeds within to the level of Immortal Seed Martial Arts.

Moreover, he could not neglect cultivating the Immortal Seed Martial Art Qilin Suppress Void Seal.

He also needed to raise this martial realm; having only achieved minor success, its power still had great room for improvement.

"War God……War Immortal……"

"What is a War Immortal? Transforming all the divine seeds of the Eight Odd Gates into immortal seeds—though not an immortal, it is still an immortal!"

Li Che secretly set a goal for his upcoming martial cultivation in his heart.

Of course, he knew this goal's difficulty surpassed that of originally transferring the eight Odd Gate Divine Seeds, being even harder.

The demand for physical strength was also greater, and the power of Immortal Seed Martial Arts far exceeded that of Divine Seed Martial Arts.

But Li Che had never feared challenges.

This world is cruel.

Take this time, for example: if the Dry Origin Divine Sect had not received the aid and protection of the Netherworld, the final result would have been fragmentation.

This work was organized and uploaded~~

If Dry Origin Dao City were breached, the disciples and elders of the Dry Origin Divine Sect would all be slaughtered.

Without strength, one cannot protect what one wishes to protect.

Therefore, Li Che's idea is simple: become strong enough, and you can protect what you wish to protect!

For example, one's daughter, wife, or home.

But the court now stands before him like a towering mountain.

"Does the court have a Divine Tribulation? Certainly…… The court's foundation differs from that of a divine sect; after a dynasty is founded, it gathers fortune and rules the world for many years, so it will surely give rise to Divine Tribulation experts."

"It is even possible that the founding emperor of Dàjǐng still lives."

Li Che exhaled slowly; the breath inside the room kept boiling.

Therefore, underestimating the court is impossible.

Thus, this time Li Che did not openly launch a direct slaughter against the court's punitive army.

Li Che, who possessed the war implement Avalokiteshvara Sitting Lotus Main Battle Tank, would find it truly not difficult to cut through the court's army.

Perhaps against top-tier experts the Avalokiteshvara Sitting Lotus Main Battle Tank might be somewhat stretched thin, but for clearing low-end forces, the main battle tank is professional.

After pondering, summarizing, and deducing for a while inside the room.

Li Che concluded today's cultivation.

He rose to his feet, the ink robe embroidered with golden lotus patterns on his body fluttering; he lifted his hand, and among his five fingers, the Flying Thunder chess pieces shone brightly.

In the instant his five fingers clenched, he vanished from the study.

Moments later, he arrived outside Dry Origin Dao City.

The Heaven-Earth Chessboard roared skyward, expanding to the extreme; between the symmetrical diagonal star positions, Li Che stepped forth, as if a flying star streaking across……

Step after step, it seemed as if he compressed the myriad miles of mountains and rivers beneath his feet.

……

……

Boom——!!!

The terrifying roar, a suppressive impact, caused the water of the Grand Canal to instantly erupt into restless, surging waves.

Countless cold winds blew softly.

The dark black iron-wood spirit warships pressed across the Grand Canal; their heavy hulls tore through the water as they rode the wind and broke the waves.

The dense smoke rising from the river surface was entirely torn apart by the impact!

One after another, the iron-wood spirit warships stretched across, filling the scene with a terrifying sense of oppression as they slowly sailed from the broad surface of the Grand Canal.

On both sides of the hull, the ferocious patterns carved from the iron-wood spirit wood, at this moment resembling demons crawling from the netherworld, were filled with the taste of iron-blooded slaughter.

Splish-splash, splish-splash——

The banners snapped loudly in the wind.

Ahead, Guangling Dao City had already come into view.

Xie Yunshen wore a crane-feather cloak, dressed in plain cloth underneath, weakly seated in a chair, lightly waving a feather fan in his hand.

Beside him, Gu Qianchi stood, his gaze somewhat strange.

Ning Caishen, Gu Cheng, Huang Mei, and other top-tier apex figures also had slightly strange expressions.

The city gate of Wide Mausoleum Dao City was tightly shut.

It was completely blockaded.

On the city walls, the Divine Guard Army of Wide Mausoleum Dao City swiftly deployed, their state somewhat similar to when Primordial Dao City faced the imperial court's expeditionary army.

"Conquer Mountains, Destroy Sects!"

Xie Yunshen narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curling upward.

He pointed the feather fan in his hand sharply at the ancient city wall of Wide Mausoleum Dao City ahead.

Boom—boom—boom——!!!

Huangmei Dafa Shi took the lead, soaring into the heavens, the aura of Supreme Peak erupting explosively!

Next, Ning Caishen, Gu Cheng, and other Supreme Peak cultivators likewise successively revealed their aura and cultivation.

Boom—boom—boom—boom——

The terrifying aura surged uncontrollably above the firmament, restless without cease.

Flying snow melted in an instant, turning into a torrential downpour above Wide Mausoleum Dao City, wildly pouring forth!

Three streams of Supreme Peak aura surged forth in this moment.

Vast and ancient Wide Mausoleum Dao City.

At this moment, it shook violently.

In terror, in despair!

The thousand-year clans and top-tier powerhouses within Wide Mausoleum Dao City were bewildered and astonished.

Hasn't the Heavenly Elixir Divine Sect already submitted to the Dàjǐng imperial court?

Why……

Why has the imperial court's expeditionary army against Primordial appeared outside Wide Mausoleum Dao City?!

If they can't break Primordial, they come to break Wide Mausoleum?

Are they just picking on the soft persimmons?

……

……

Xie Yunshen commanded the imperial court's expeditionary army; upon reaching Wide Mausoleum Dao City, he launched a total attack without hesitation.

The army desperately craved victory; the two defeats of Primordial Dao City had weakened its morale by seventy percent, and now only a great victory could rekindle its fighting spirit and courage!

When Wide Mausoleum Dao was under attack,

Li Che shifted with flying stars, a few steps, and returned to the Golden Light Prefecture of Yúnzhōu under Lingnan Circuit.

Whooo—

The north wind howled incessantly, carrying a turbulent cold surge that crossed mountains and ridges, bringing extreme chill to heaven and earth!

Snowflakes the size of hands tumbled in midair, piling up on the mountain path, layer upon thick layer, cloaking the entire Divine Eagle Ridge in pure, spotless whiteness.

Many drifting snowflakes fell to the ground, lifted by the wind like a sandstorm, forming slender streams of cold current that wound around the cold mountain, resembling a fairyland.

Divine Eagle Ridge lies outside the Golden Light Prefecture.

Li Che arrived via flying stars, stepping on soft ground, his black robe fluttering, the embroidered golden lotus attire neat and capable.

Li Che did not conceal his aura, walking forward.

To the whole Golden Light Prefecture, he now merely needed to leak a bit of aura to be as terrifying as a Divine Mountain collapsing.

The entire Divine Eagle Ridge seemed to have frozen solid,

Then, an overwhelmingly powerful aura burst forth, rushing swiftly from above the firmament to plummet down.

"Elder Li!"

Tang Sanjia's stature remained stalwart, sturdy as an ox, hardly resembling a Divine Eagle Master.

His eyes gleamed, fixed on Li Che, his heart shocked beyond measure.

His letter had just been sent out, marked urgent, yet according to the schedule, Li Che shouldn't have arrived this quickly, right?

It truly caught him off guard.

"Mountain Master Sanjia, it's truly been a while since we last met."

Li Che smiled, clasped his hands, his expression gentle.

The terrifying aura that had made the whole Divine Eagle Ridge change color instantly retracted from his body, vanishing without trace.

Tang Sanjia marveled endlessly; he could now see through none of Li Che's cultivation.

Even if he were a Divine Origin True Person, he still could not see through.

"After years apart, Elder Li…… you have truly been reborn."

Tang Sanjia sighed deeply.

Li Che smiled, and he and Tang Sanjia strolled amidst Divine Eagle Ridge.

Tang Sanjia also knew Li Che's purpose in returning, so he wasn't in a hurry, not lacking this bit of time.

"The Mountain Master should have heard the news; this period, the imperial court's army wishes to attack Primordial Dao City, and as an Elder of the Primordial Divine Sect, I naturally must share fate with the sect."

"So I've been very busy this period, intending to settle the grudge between the imperial court and the Primordial Divine Sect before returning to fulfill my promise."

"But I never expected that Tang Mountain Master would actually send an urgent letter, prompting me to rush over without delay."

Li Che smiled and said.

Tang Sanjia and Li Che, in the Triangular Pavilion, casually drank and ate meat.

"How is the sect?"

Tang Sanjia's eyes grew deep; the Tang clan of former glory, too, was wiped out by Xie Yunshen leading the imperial court's army.

A five-thousand-year-old great clan skilled in mechanism arts thus fell apart, becoming a laughingstock of the past.

The imperial court's great army has already been repelled; now they have retreated completely, and the sect has turned danger into safety.

Li Che gave a light smile, finished the wine in his cup.

"Tang Ridge Master, the letter is urgent, explaining that the matter is very pressing; then let's go fulfill our previous promise first."

Li Che said solemnly.

Back then, it was precisely the Tang Clan Mechanism Technique that gave him the power of self-defense, enabling him, in that impoverished environment of Fēiléichéng, to protect his daughter and let her grow healthy and happy.

Speaking of this topic, Tang Sanjia's originally fairly vigorous face instantly grew gaunt, as if he had lost his vigor and spirit.

"A Che, I know… I know your status and position are now different from before; I also don't know if you still remember our promise, but I can't hold on any longer, I can't persist…"

Tang Sanjia sighed.

"So I wrote to ask for your help; I didn't expect you to come this quickly…"

Li Che stood up and smiled: "Don't worry, Ridge Master, I've come to fulfill my promise."

Tang Sanjia's dim eyes brightened slightly.

Then he stood up, bringing Li Che as they walked toward the depths of Divine Eagle Ridge.

Going straight into the peaks of Divine Eagle Ridge, they found a small cave; Tang Xiejia slipped inside, and Li Che followed.

Accompanied by the grating sound of mechanisms turning, they descended rapidly, as if in an elevator.

The jagged cliffs shifted continually before their eyes.

With a roar, Li Che and Tang Xiejia arrived at the world beneath Divine Eagle Ridge.

It was a huge hollow carved out of the mountain, countless warm-glowing crystals inlaid in the walls, lighting the entire space like daylight.

"A Che, my ability is limited; I have some talent for mechanisms, but… I've tried for so many years, I ultimately… can't do it."

"I can only hope for someone with greater talent for mechanisms."

"Then I met you, A Che… It's a pity that back then you weren't strong enough in mechanisms, but now I've heard you've created a half-step peerless mechanism beast, so I know… only you in this world can do it."

Tang Sanjia's burly frame leaned forward as he stood with Li Che on the platform, his eyes gradually blazing.

Li Che lifted his gaze in the direction Tang Sanjia pointed far away.

He saw a huge humanoid mechanism beast standing silently in the great pit.

Under countless lights, its surface was densely covered with hundreds of millions of mechanism seals, simultaneously bursting forth with extreme brilliance!

Beside him, Tang Sanjia's frantic voice rang out.

"A Che…"

"This is the Tang Clan Mechanism's most outstanding divine work, researched and developed after my clan's founding master once beheld that supreme temple deity in Equal Heaven Temple, with inspiration bursting forth!"

Li Che's eyes likewise burst forth with unprecedented brilliance.

Because, the Immortal Craft Dao fruit, long dormant in his chest, began to beat again at this moment.

Thump—thump—

Thump—thump—thump—!!!

The sound rose like waves, exploding like thunder!

At the same time, Tang Sanjia's frantic voice exploded in his ears.

"Upon the peerless mechanism beast!"

"Divine mechanism… Heaven-reaching uniform armor!"
