Chapter 562: Dao Fruit Bountiful Harvest, the Netherworld's Meng Po Goes Online, Breaking the Code and Transmitting

In the Great Dao Long River, countless water droplets reflected the appearances of myriad martial cultivators, constantly shifting and changing.

Li Che rose from the Long River, his black hair drifting like waterweed, swaying gently.

He felt a repulsive force; looking back, he saw a remnant corpse sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the Martial Dao Long River.

A remnant corpse?!

Li Che's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

But before he could ponder too much, a tremendous propulsive force shoved him out of the Martial Dao Long River.

Whoosh—

Inside the room, Li Che slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were extremely sharp and deep, as if myriad transformations were born within them, constantly intertwining and shifting.

Within the Martial Dao Long River, having undergone the Seventh Transformation of the Dao Fruit, it seemed as if the martial will of hundreds of millions of cultivators surged into his mind, as if it would burst his brain, his flesh unable to bear such power.

Li Che even nearly thought he was about to perish, body and Dao extinguished.

It exploded, turning into countless Dao essences that merged into the Great Dao Long River.

Just like after a person dies, their body burned to ashes, scattered into the great river, left to drift.

But Li Che ultimately survived.

He even endured the will of hundreds of millions of martial cultivators within the Great Dao Long River.

And by relying on the will of those hundreds of millions of martial cultivators, merging into his flesh, it seemed to condense into a powerful remnant body.

"Heaven-Earth Dao Body."

Inside the room, all was quiet, only Li Che's faint breathing echoed.

That final glance, seeing the remnant corpse at the bottom of the Great Dao Long River—was it the Heaven-Earth Body?

What use is it?

What assistance can the Heaven-Earth Dao Body from the Seventh Transformation of the Dao Fruit bring him?

Li Che's mind gave rise to some doubts.

The Seventh Transformation of the Dao Fruit, seeking the Dao Vessel, condenses the Heaven-Earth Dao Body!

Li Che closed his eyes slightly; in his chest, the Dragon-Elephant Golden Vajra Dao Fruit throbbed, yet no information about the Heaven-Earth Dao Body surfaced.

Unlike the transformations of the Dao Guide, Dao Tribulation, and Dao Vessel.

This time, the Heaven-Earth Dao Body did not appear on the panel.

So…

What exactly is the use of this Heaven-Earth Dao Body?

Li Che felt somewhat lost.

This was the first time he had felt lost after a Dao Fruit transformation.

"Can I communicate with this Heaven-Earth Dao Body?"

Li Che's brows furrowed slightly.

He raised his hand and tapped his brow.

Mysterious Immortal Will arose in the darkness.

Boom—

Vast qi and blood roared, bursting forth, condensing above his head into a Dao Vessel.

It was precisely the Dragon-Elephant Golden Vajra Dao Vessel; the Dao Vessel bore Li Che's drifting Mysterious Immortal Will, causing ripples in the void.

The Dao Vessel surged into the void, directly charging onto the Martial Dao Long River!

Li Che's Mysterious Immortal Will sat cross-legged on the Dao Vessel, wandering above the Martial Dao Long River.

At this moment…

He sensed it.

In the darkness…

It seemed a strong attraction burst forth from the bottom of the Martial Dao Long River.

Li Che's Mysterious Immortal Will manifested a brilliant gold, identical to his true form, yet his entire body radiated a golden halo.

"I sensed it… that is the Heaven-Earth Dao Body!"

Li Che's eyes opened and closed, flashing with strange colors.

【Heaven-Earth Dao Body: All beings' thoughts gather as one, Great Dao Crystal, I am invincible】

Before his eyes, the true words of the Heaven-Earth Dao Body surfaced.

And on the Dao Vessel, the Mysterious Immortal Will rose, looking down upon that illusory shadow at the riverbed.

The next moment, the Mysterious Immortal Will leapt directly from the Dao Vessel.

Hum—

Bottom of the Martial Dao Long River.

It seemed a terrifying existence twitched its finger slightly.

……

……

Sitting cross-legged in the room, the Heaven-Earth Chessboard hovered high above, sealing the entire room, blocking detection.

Li Che's physical body, having completed the Dao Fruit transformation, began to be empowered by the feedback power of the Dao Fruit!

Every inch of skin and flesh began to undergo endless trembling and transformation, as if a peerless divine artisan wielded a great hammer, striking and refining, tempered a thousand times!

The feedback power of the Dao Fruit strengthened his flesh.

Before his eyes, flowing light appeared.

【Eight Nine Mystic Technique: Mundane Saint Body (15%)】

And the transformation data of the Mundane Saint Body is rapidly increasing.

15%, 20%, 25%…

The rate of increase is somewhat beyond Li Che's imagination.

Unbeknownst to him, when it reached 30%, the transformation speed finally came to a halt.

Li Che's black hair danced wildly, his arms spread wide.

Upon his flesh, the skin turned golden, every inch of muscle piled up like scales, layer upon layer, his body expanded outward in a circle, as if a mass of blazing fire raged fiercely within his body!

His aura rose step by step, as if it wanted to break through barriers, stirring heaven and earth!

That is immortal fire!

The fire of the Profound Immortal blazes fiercely, its ferocity as if it would burn the heavens and boil the seas!

Li Che's immortal platform is based on his flesh, with eight great Dao immortal markings engraved upon his flesh, forging the Profound Immortal platform, upon which immortal fire burns!

This is his Profound Immortal foundation.

Now, he is still in the first realm of the Profound Immortal, the Immortal Platform Immortal Fire realm.

As for the second realm, the Immortal Platform Uniting the Dao, he originally had no clue.

But now he has an idea!

Perhaps it is because, within the river of martial arts, he sensed and accepted the will of countless martial artists into his body, thereby gaining some insight into the meaning of uniting the Dao!

Li Che's eyes opened and closed, within their depths showing joy.

Sitting cross-legged in the room, Li Che continued to contemplate.

In his chest, the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Dao fruit trembled slightly, sending out slowly expanding ripples of vibration.

His whole person fell into a state of profound mystery, the Profound Immortal body undergoing transformation, growing stronger under the blaze of immortal fire!

With each inhale and exhale, it seemed as if Dao essence burst forth.

And the transformation is not only this.

Li Che's spine quivered, eight mystical immortal seeds emerged, qi and blood vortices swirled, immortal energy coiled out from within, continuously enveloping the transformation.

"The immortal fire burning on my immortal platform lets my immortal-seed martial arts gain insight; the immortal platform fire and my martial proficiency seem linked..."

Li Che's eyes brightened.

His mood involuntarily became fervent, even a strong urge arose to practice his martial arts well.

For a martial artist, the cultivation of martial arts is a process of gradual accumulation, requiring constant practice; only thus can one master the martial way.

"However, within this inn one certainly cannot practice martial arts... I wonder if the repairs to Mo City Fengdu are complete?"

And as this thought arose, within his chest, the 【Picture Immortal】 Dao fruit suddenly began to beat wildly!

As if spewing out an extremely rich, dense ink!

The ink color spread, and then Li Che's mind stirred slightly.

Somewhat unexpected delight!

Because, after the Picture Immortal Dao fruit underwent repeated destruction and repair, Mo City Fengdu was repaired once again.

And it successfully allowed the Picture Immortal Dao fruit's maturity to reach perfection!

【Dao Fruit: Picture Immortal (lv8, 0)】

Dao Fruit six transformations!

Another Dao fruit achieved six transformations, making Li Che's mood instantly become radiant.

The following process, Li Che was quite familiar with.

His mind and spirit were pulled by a mighty force into the Dao Tree space, and then within the Dao Tree space he ascended onto the Great Dao River.

The river represented by the Picture Immortal Dao fruit is the Painting Dao River, splashing ink to form pictures, within the picture lie heaven and earth, the world, and all things!

Moreover, Li Che also saw the master of the Picture Immortal Dao fruit upon the Great Dao River.

After the conversation, Li Che's insight into the Painting Dao rose step by step.

Buzz buzz buzz—

Li Che stepped upon the ink-colored Dao vessel, returning from the Great Dao River, his emotions surging tumultuously.

"Alas, in the Hongmeng Primordial Nine Tribulations, I am still missing one tribulation to achieve perfection; I do not know which Dao fruit will complete the final Dao tribulation."

Li Che stretched lazily, his mind stirred.

A black vortex instantly surged forth.

This is the change after the Picture Immortal Dao fruit achieved six transformations.

With a thought, one can excavate an ink vortex in the void.

Directly pulling a person into Mo City Fengdu.

Hum—

Inside Mo City Fengdu.

The ink rain pattered, each drop carrying a tremendous restorative power, as if to repair the damaged places of Mo City Fengdu completely.

Li Che appeared within Fengdu, standing upon the Lord's Tower.

Without any hesitation, accompanied by the feedback from the seven-transformation Dao fruit in his chest, he began to practice martial arts!

Boom——!!!

Dragon and Elephant roar in unison, golden qi and blood gush forth!

Within Mo City Fengdu, in his own territory, Li Che naturally faced no restraint.

Myriad Transformations Dragon-Elephant Cauldron, Qilin Suppress Void Seal, Thousand Mountains Lone Walker Void-Severing Blade...

One after another immortal-seed martial arts were unleashed by Li Che, shaking the void, qi and blood roaring, terrifying aura surging throughout the entirety of the just-repaired Mo City Fengdu.

And under the feedback of the Dragon Elephant Golden Vajra Dao Fruit's maturity, Li Che's proficiency in martial arts also rose rapidly.

【1

When the maturity is depleted.

Li Che basically raised every Immortal Seed martial art to the grandmaster level!

Among them, the self-created Immortal Seed martial art, the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace, even reached the grandmaster level!

Besides that, another martial art also reached the grandmaster level.

That is the Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique learned from the Young Dragon Emperor!

Hum—

The Young Dragon Emperor's conjured god surfaced, his eyes brimming with endless fervor.

He also employed the Ancestral Dragon Slaughter Technique, but his dragon shadow was easily shattered and crushed by Li Che's Golden Scarlet Blood Dragon Shadow!

Even the Young Dragon Emperor had never mastered this slaughter technique to the grandmaster level.

After finishing his martial arts practice, Li Che floated down, his eyes shining brightly, and he glanced at the Young Dragon Emperor.

One could sense that the Young Dragon Emperor's aura had undergone a tremendous breakthrough compared to before.

"Have you reached the Slaying Dao Realm?"

Li Che's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment.

As expected of a deity whose veins flow with the blood of the primordial immortals, even without Li Che specially feeding it a conjured god, the Young Dragon Emperor, relying solely on his own cultivation, could still reach the Slaying Dao level.

On the Young Dragon Emperor's handsome face hung a smile as he cupped his fists and said: "It is mainly because of my lord; my lord's breakthrough insights also fed back to us subordinates a little, thus I could in one go comprehend the immortal aura in my blood, break through the barriers, and step into the Slaying Dao Realm."

As a primordial immortal, the Young Dragon Emperor is of the same tier as Fuxi Shaoyi, Ji Shaohao, and others.

However, after being suppressed by the Third Prince initially, the Young Dragon Emperor fell into a deep slumber, losing too much cultivation time.

After becoming a conjured god, one can train to the point of death, fearing neither death nor the strain that drains the power and aura of the immortal dragon emperor's bloodline.

Therefore, the cultivation progress is extremely fast.

"Having reached the Slaying Dao Realm... it could also become a considerable aid for me."

With a thought, Li Che fed the great divine official of the Dark Heavenly Court, a Slaying Dao realm deity he had slain earlier in the selection of the Divine Gambling Battle in Xuanxiao Heaven's Thousand Villages, to the Young Dragon Emperor as a conjured god.

Accelerating the Young Dragon Emperor's cultivation progress.

Moreover, the Slaying First Realm deity of Black Sumeru that was just slain in the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven was also fed to the Young Dragon Emperor.

"For now, you cannot compare to Fuxi Shaoyi and Release Shajia, but your potential is even greater than theirs!"

Li Che's eyes shone brightly.

Earth Village, he will certainly go there.

After all, the reason Earth Village suffered calamity was because it accepted and rescued Xixi, thereby drawing the attention of the three major divine factions.

Li Che cannot turn a blind eye.

And if the Young Dragon Emperor could advance to the Slaying Third Realm, he might then be able to contend with the primordial immortals Release Shajia and Fuxi Shaoyi, becoming an aid to Li Che.

The Young Dragon Emperor also understood this, so he did not resist Li Che's feeding.

After feeding the Young Dragon Emperor.

Li Che then took out some resources and fed them to Old Yellow's spirit flesh ball.

These resources were scavenged by him from the cosmic space of the Slaying Dao realm deity of Black Sumeru.

Li Che did not hand them over, but shamelessly used them as capital to feed Old Yellow.

The flesh ball's aura grew ever stronger, and the originally active consciousness of Old Yellow sank back into slumber.

Li Che also felt curious: after feeding Old Yellow's flesh ball so many Dao-essence divine crystals and resources, once it breaks into the mortal world, what level could it reach?

Regarding the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Li Che still holds reverence and vigilance.

In the mortal world he can roam invincibly, overwhelming everything, but in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that is impossible.

The present Li Che can slay a Slaying First Realm deity when facing one, and can engage in battle with a Slaying Second Realm deity.

Against a Slaying Third Realm deity or a Nirvana sovereign, he basically must suffer defeat.

As for immortals, even less need to speak; even a weak earth immortal could easily erase him.

Therefore, Li Che still needs to be more steady.

Hummm—

With a thought of mind and spirit, countless splendid golden lights burst forth, as if the cry of a golden crow erupted, shattering the Nine Depths!

A splendid palanquin, radiant like the great sun, rose into the air.

Great Sun Golden Crow Palanquin!

This is the Dao Fruit awakened by Li Che when Xixi was nine years old!

Li Che sat upright within the Great Sun Golden Crow Palanquin, routinely enhancing and refining this palanquin.

【Dao Fruit: Great Sun Golden Crow Palanquin (lv5, 80%)】

The maturity growth speed of this Dao Fruit somewhat exceeded Li Che's expectations.

Mainly because Li Che's qi and blood are exuberant, and after achieving the Martial Dao True Immortal, his aura's enhancement makes the Great Sun Golden Crow Palanquin seem to receive a charge, rapidly increasing!

With the aid of the Great Sun Golden Crow Palanquin's divine ability to patrol the heavens, Li Che's pressure can even surge like a vast ocean, as if a supreme heavenly god looms overhead!

Li Che then refined the Great Sun Golden Crow Palanquin for a while, using his own Martial True Immortal aura to impact and enhance it.

Only then did he finish his cultivation and depart from Mo City Fengdu.

He returned to the inn.

The Heaven-Earth Chessboard retracted, returning to the Niwan palace between Li Che's eyebrows.

After many days of maintaining the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, shielding perception, the maturity of the Chess Sage Dao Fruit also increased.

Even though it is a level 8 ranked Dao Fruit, its ability has increased considerably.

However, in the Divine Treasury Heaven Divine Treasury City, where many powerful deities gather, Li Che's shielding of perception for investigation is merely a technical task.

Divine Vault City, as the heavenly lord city governed by the Black Sumeru gods' faction, naturally possesses an existence of Nirvana King level presiding over it.

Therefore, under the immense pressure of the Nirvana King, the Chess Saint's Dao Fruit naturally receives a boost.

Inside the inn, Zhang Ya also finished her cultivation early, sitting upright in the room, holding the little white fox Su Da, gazing out the window, in a daze.

She dared not leave the room, for fear that seeing Xixi would make her unable to stop missing her.

During this time, Xixi even came to the inn's doorway, loitering there; Zhang Ya secretly saw her and felt as if her heart were being clenched.

"Husband, have you finished your cultivation?"

Zhang Ya saw Li Che finish his cultivation, and her eyes lit up slightly.

She knew Li Che was striving so that their family could reunite openly and honorably, without needing to fear the threat of the gods' faction.

Therefore, she did not wish to often display sorrow in front of Li Che.

Li Che smiled, drew his wife into his embrace, and rubbed her head.

With his keen perception, he instantly knew his wife's unhappiness.

"Xia Ya, if you truly miss Xixi, just go see her; it's fine, even if you were really watched… it wouldn't be a big problem."

"When soldiers come, we block them; when water comes, we earth it up."

Li Che said.

Zhang Ya, however, kept shaking her head.

"Husband, that's too dangerous; we are Xixi's parents, the greatest concern in the heart of the Hell Lotus Maiden."

"Once our identities are exposed, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will be thrown into turmoil; the three major gods' factions, as well as the Two Saints Ancient Clan Village, will likely muster all their strength to come and kill us both."

"Like the Third Prince and the God of the Qi Tian Temple, they have close ties to the Hell Lotus Maiden and were hunted by the three major gods' factions; if we were exposed, it would be normal for a Nirvana King to hunt us, and perhaps even an immortal would intervene."

Zhang Ya's expression was very serious.

She knew her husband was very powerful, but…… no matter how strong, he could not surpass an immortal deity in a short time.

If an immortal were to intervene, it would likely be truly dangerous.

Zhang Ya knew that what her husband needed…… was merely time.

A little temporal forbearance would exchange for a family's future lasting reunion; Zhang Ya still understood this clearly!

Li Che smiled; Zhang Ya was right—exposing their identity would indeed carry such risk.

The parents of the Hell Lotus Maiden……

The Hell Lotus Maiden, who had no parents, somehow had parents survive to this day in this divine tide; how fervent must her feelings toward them be?

To make the Hell Lotus Maiden turn dark, it becomes easy: just kill her parents, and that will successfully provoke her to fall into darkness and accept the curse.

Li Che thought it over and still came up with a method.

That is, to help Zhang Ya assume a new identity.

Clenching his five fingers, a piece of divine wood landed in his hand; majestic divinity surged within the wood, the carving knife slipped into his palm, lightly scoring it, and wood chips flew everywhere.

A mask as thin as a cicada's wing, yet shimmering with endless starlight, merely glancing at it seemed to make one forget their memories, appeared in Li Che's hand.

"Wear this mask; its surface is engraved with a mechanism divine seal that can shield aura perception, unless an immortal deity descends with immortal will to probe, otherwise no one can see through the disguise beneath the mask."

Li Che said.

This mask alone, after being carved and crafted by the present Li Che, already belongs to the Four Sovereigns' upper-tier divine weapon grade.

Moreover, Li Che fused ancient heaven-and-earth sigils into it, endowing it with extremely powerful miraculous properties.

"Just wear the mask to go see Xixi, and let little Su Da accompany you."

Zhang Ya, hearing this, still hesitated: "This way…… won't we be discovered?"

"If we are truly discovered, there's nothing to be done; it would mean an immortal deity's will has descended, making the disguise meaningless either way."

"So, go ahead without worry."

Li Che laughed.

Zhang Ya actually became happy; she put on the mask, and her entire aura instantly retracted, twisted by the mask's powerful mechanism divine seal and the heaven-and-earth ancient sigils.

She turned in place once, then, holding little Su Da, set off happily to find Xixi.

"Husband, what identity should I use to meet Xixi?"

Zhang Ya walked to the doorway and asked curiously.

"Then… under the name of the Underworld's Meng Po."

Li Che thought it over and said.

Meng Po?

Zhang Ya tilted her head, her eyes slightly brightening; she seemed to understand.

"What Meng Po is doesn't matter; what matters is the Underworld…"

"With the prefix 'Underworld,' Xixi might be able to guess her identity."

Zhang Ya, holding Su Da, left the inn; at the doorway, she soon encountered the wandering Xixi.

Beside Xixi were the siblings Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu.

Zhang Ya's appearance also immediately drew their attention.

Xixi was instantly drawn to Zhang Ya; her eyes flickered, her emotions surged.

The figure holding the white fox gave her a strong sense of familiarity; Xixi's heart trembled, as if making a guess.

"Is this…… mother?"

Xixi couldn't help but think that it was a feeling of bloodline connection!

And when Xixi heard the name "Underworld Meng Po," she immediately understood.

It was definitely her mother, without a doubt!

Li Che watched from afar as Zhang Ya blended with Xixi, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Yunhe, the village chief of Yunxiao Village, appeared, and upon hearing that Li Che had left seclusion, he immediately rushed over.

"Mr. Mo Che, the Thousand Villages Divine Gambling War has ended; we should also return to Yunxiao Village."

This return will surely be a triumphant victory.

Yunhe was very excited.

In this Thousand Villages Divine Gambling War, Yunxiao Village was practically the biggest winner.

They obtained a large amount of resources, enough to raise Yunxiao Village to the level of a Four Emperors ancient village.

Besides, the abilities displayed by Yunhuang and Yunlei, the sister‑brother pair, are evident to all.

"Mr. Mo Che, I know you cannot be confined to Yunxiao Village, so… this time I have come to bid you farewell."

"Yunhuang and Yunlei, I hope to follow you in cultivation."

Yunhe said solemnly.

Li Che heard this and shook his head: "Who said I'm leaving Yunxiao Village?"

Ah?

Yunhe froze instantly.

Then, his face instantly showed an expression of wild joy.

Yunhuang and Yunlei, who had been following nearby and were originally low in spirits, also couldn't help but brighten their eyes.

"Teacher! Are you going back to the village with us?!"

Even the mature and composed Yunhuang couldn't help but become excited at this moment.

Li Che rubbed her head and gave a slight nod.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Li Che also needs a foothold; Yunxiao Village is quite suitable.

As the first village he encountered after ascending to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Li Che holds a good impression of it.

Moreover, he will later have to participate in the Thus: Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly hosted by the Immortal Laozi; Li Che cannot simply sign up like rootless duckweed, so he will participate under the name of Yunxiao Village's Divine Eagle Immortal Hand.

Additionally, Li Che also worries that the powerful beings drawn by his identity will covet Yunxiao Village, bringing danger to it.

If so, then we will strengthen Yunxiao Village, forge it into an Immortal Craft ancient village as a base, to directly face the various threats of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

In the distance, Tuoba Ye stood with hands behind his back, walking over.

As a Dao‑Slaying Divine Spirit, Tuoba Ye's mere presence exudes an extremely terrifying aura.

Before such an existence, Yunhe's breath became suppressed, his face turned deathly pale, and his attitude grew much more reverent.

"Senior Tuoba Ye, if you don't mind, please return with our Yunxiao Village troupe." Li Che looked at Tuoba Ye and said.

This had already been discussed between Tuoba Ye and Li Che.

The Earth Village has already suffered a punitive attack by the mighty forces of the Three Great Divine Factions; it is likely… dangerous.

Therefore, Tuoba Ye cannot continue to bring Xixi, Tuoba Li, and Tuoba Xiu and the other children back to the Earth Village.

So, after consulting with Li Che, they plan to go together to Yunxiao Village.

Of course…

Not together.

Tuoba Ye intends to hand over Xixi, Tuoba Li, Tuoba Xiu, plus Tuoba Hu, a Dao‑Merging Divine Spirit, to Li Che, and go together to Yunxiao Village.

As for himself…

He wants to return to the village.

Yunhe also instantly understood; his expression became somewhat complex.

The Hell Lotus Maiden…

"Mr. Mo Che, are you planning to bring the Hell Lotus Maiden to Yunxiao Village?"

The symbol of calamity, the executioner of heaven's will in the mortal realm, a cursed existence destined to slay immortal divine spirits in the future!

Yunxiao Village… can it accommodate this great Buddha?

But Yunhe gritted his teeth and agreed!

As the village chief of Yunxiao Village, he has the authority to make decisions for the villagers; bearing some risk for the hope and opportunity Li Che brings to Yunxiao Village is also appropriate.

Moreover, Mr. Mo Che is also in Yunxiao Village…

I don't know why, but Yunhe feels a deep, soul‑level trust in Li Che.

Even if they truly face calamity, Yunxiao Village… with Mr. Mo Che's protection should also be free of worry.

Tuoba Ye looked at Yunhe, a flash of appreciation crossing his eyes.

He is very decisive, without hesitation; such a person as village chief is a fortune for Yunxiao Village.

Having chosen to stake everything, there will be no hesitation.

If there is even a hint of hesitation, it will diminish Li Che's perception and bring only harm, no benefit, to Yunxiao Village.

Yunxiao Village… after this incident, is essentially bound together with Mr. Mo Che.

If the Three Great Divine Factions truly seek reckoning, Yunxiao Village cannot escape.

It would be better to put everything on Mr. Mo Che.

Moreover, if the Hell Lotus Maiden goes to Yunxiao Village, the village will actually not be in danger in the short term…

Because the Three Great Divine Factions' goal is to make the Hell Lotus Maiden turn dark.

The precondition for darkening is the cultivation of feelings; only after developing feelings and then killing does the Hell Lotus Maiden's heart fluctuate, leading to darkening, just as is happening now in the Earth Village…

Therefore, Yunhe's decisiveness is quite correct.

"Don't worry, Village Chief Yunhe; you won't regret today's decision."

Li Che said with a smile, giving his assurance.

In the distance, Zhang Ya and Xixi chatted happily; although not as intimately close as mother and daughter, Xixi realized that Zhang Ya was disguising her identity as Meng Po, so she inevitably felt a sense of reliance.

Xixi really liked this state.

She also knew that once Li Che and Zhang Ya's identities were exposed, the Three Great Gods' Faction would learn of the appearance of the Hell Lotus Girl's parents, and might even provoke the Immortal Divine Spirit to act!

Tuoba Ye informed everyone of the news that they would all go to Cloud Heaven Village together; the crowd's emotions fluctuated, they understood the reason, yet none refused.

"You must listen to Mr. Mo Che's words after going to Cloud Heaven Village with him…… Absolutely do not act on your own."

Tuoba Ye kept reminding them.

On the aged face, there was reluctance to part.

"Xixi, the identity of the Hell Lotus Girl is not your shackle; you must be yourself…… This might also be the old village chief's hope."

"Don't fall for their ways; they want you to blame yourself, feel guilty, accept the Hell Lotus curse…… But the fault lies in this world, not you."

"You're just a child; what could you possibly have done wrong?"

Tuoba Ye gently rubbed Xixi's head with some reluctance in his eyes.

Xixi's eyes flickered, tears spilling from her eye sockets as she reluctantly nodded.

Tuoba Ye turned and left, carrying the divine spirit Tuoba Long, who represented Earth Village in the slaughter within Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven.

The two stepped onto the transmission array in Godstorage City, leaving Godstorage Heaven, returning to Northern Dipper Heaven, and heading toward Earth Village.

Xixi was very reluctant, while Tuoba Li and Tuoba Xiu's faces were full of determination.

Their eyes were full of sorrow, knowing what had happened on Earth Village's side.

The grudge of the Sea of Blood; they could only keep it in their hearts, silently grow stronger, and finally avenge Earth Village!

Tuoba Ye and Tuoba Long departed, disappearing from the teleportation platform.

Li Che had his hands behind his back, his dark robe fluttering.

"Let's head back as well."

Li Che spoke.

Yunhe, upon hearing this, immediately began packing and shouting.

This time, Cloud Heaven Village's harvest was extremely abundant, yet it likewise brought a huge crisis back.

However, for Cloud Heaven Village, this could also be a tremendous opportunity; perhaps the village has a chance to thus transcend its rank, becoming an ancient village of middle Three Pure, even upper rank!

Become one of the top ancient villages among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

Buzz—

Above the teleportation platform, light flowed and countless radiance burst forth.

Then, the transmission distorted, beginning to cross the void, transmitting from Godstorage Heaven back to Mysterious Sky Heaven.

Li Che sat cross-legged on the teleportation platform, his eyes opening and closing; a powerful divine spirit thought swept like a storm, perceiving the many divine patterns erupting on the platform.

As for Earth Village, Li Che would naturally not just give up like that.

He did not go together with Tuoba Ye and the others, for he naturally had his own plan.

Within his chest, a Dao Fruit throbbed.

Behind Li Che, a golden wheel suddenly began to turn, interlocking wheels turning, as if metal were grating with a crackling sound.

That was the Dao Fruit 【Spacetime Golden Wheel】, constantly chiming!

The teleportation platform—Li Che had long contemplated it; from the first time he rode the platform, he had his sovereign clone mobilize the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, analyzing each God Eagle on the platform to perfection.

Besides that, there was also the Spacetime Golden Wheel Dao Fruit, analyzing the spatial great dao power of the teleportation platform.

Now, at last, during the transmission process, he gained clear insight—or rather, he had deciphered it!

The teleportation platform is the core technology mastered by the Three Great Gods' Faction!

It is also the capital whereby the Three Great Gods' Faction can rule the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

Within this teleportation platform lie the God Eagle Great Immortal–level God Eagle techniques; moreover, there is the power of Heaven-Earth Ancient Symbols of that level……

Li Che's deciphering was also extremely arduous.

But the reward after successful deciphering is immense!

【Dao Fruit: Immortal Craft (lv8, 20%)】

Studying the God Eagle enabled the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit reaching lv8 to have a considerable increase.

But what Li Che valued was not the maturity increase of the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit; this was merely an added bonus.

Li Che's goal.

It is the metamorphosis of the Spacetime Golden Wheel Dao Fruit!

Originally having reached lv7, the Spacetime Golden Wheel Dao Fruit, after Li Che deciphered the teleportation platform's secret, finally roared and shook, undergoing metamorphosis.

【Dao Fruit: Spacetime Golden Wheel (lv8, 0%)】

Sitting cross-legged in the transmission array, Li Che, who spanned the domain realm barriers, suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes shone brilliantly.

Behind him, the Spacetime Golden Wheel chimed as it turned.

The Dao Fruit having metamorphosed, the deciphered platform shattered the cage!

This means that via a private transmission platform one can achieve crossing the domain realm barriers, and shield against the probing of the immortal will stationed within those barriers.

This means that, though the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are vast, Li Che can……

Freely shuttle!

Wantonly cross!
