Chapter 573

Boom—

The five fingers spread open like five divine spears, bearing ultimate sharpness, piercing into the body of the headless Nirvana corpse kneeling on the ground.

The 'Hell' Dao Fruit in Li Che's chest suddenly reacted wildly and jumped, its roaring sound like thunder exploding beside his ear.

The Nine Deep Life-Death Path trodden by this Nirvana powerhouse instantly appeared before Li Che's eyes.

Everything around seemed to have changed; faintly, it felt as if a unique field in the void had become linked—this was the 'Netherworld'!

Li Che is now inside Mo City Fengdu, so his connection with the Netherworld isn't close; unlike being in the mortal world linked directly to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which is a direct reflection of the Netherworld.

But Li Che still saw that stretch of the Nine Deep Life-Death Path; though only a short segment, it was like a great tonic, stimulating the 'Hell' Dao Fruit.

Causing this Dao Fruit to tremble incessantly.

Boom—

The entire stretch of the Nine Deep Life-Death Path was completely swallowed by the 'Hell' Dao Fruit.

"It really works... it seems... this Nine Deep Life-Death Path is indeed closely related to the Netherworld."

Li Che's eyes flickered; originally just a test of his, he never expected to actually gain a huge harvest.

However, Li Che felt that what the Hell Dao Fruit absorbed was mainly the life-death aura stored on the Nine Deep Life-Death Path.

【Dao Fruit: Hell (lv2, 0%)】

【Dao Fruit: Hell (lv2, 50%)】

……

【Dao Fruit: Hell (lv3, 50%)】

【Dao Fruit: Hell (lv4, 0%)】

……

Before his eyes, black light intertwined in a hazy glow, constantly surfacing prompts; within the prompts, the maturity of this newly obtained Dao Fruit was rising at an astonishing speed!

Li Che wasn't surprised by this, after all, the Nine Netherworld Life-and-Death Path came from a Nirvana Divine Spirit; a Nirvana Divine Spirit is called a King, and even among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it stands at the pinnacle of combat power.

Among the countless ancient villages of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only those of the Three Pure level can have a Nirvana entity seated as guardian.

Even the Four Sovereigns in their exalted positions lack a Nirvana guardian, which suffices to show how mighty Nirvana is.

Therefore, for such a divine spirit's Nine Netherworld Life-and-Death Path to be devoured by the Hell Dao Fruit, the feedback is naturally obvious.

Thud—

His heart pounded like a great bell being struck hard, a violent boom exploding beside his ears.

Finally, the Dao Fruit's maturity reached a fixed point.

【Dao Fruit: Hell (lv5, 0%)】

From lv1 straight to lv5, achieving a transformation worthy of being called a fourfold leap!

However, Li Che felt this was quite normal.

Slaying a Nirvana expert yielded mainly this Nine Netherworld Life-and-Death Path, exactly as he had guessed, which perfectly matches the "Hell" Dao Fruit; obtaining such a result was therefore within expectations.

【Dao Fruit lv3, after another metamorphosis, obtained the divine ability prototype "Hell·Hell Armor"】

【Dao Fruit lv4, second metamorphosis, divine ability prototype (Hell Armor), obtained metamorphosed divine ability (Yellow Springs of Life and Death), obtained first heavenly tier of divine ability (Hell Flood Burial)】

【Dao Fruit lv5, third metamorphosis, first heavenly tier of divine ability (Hell Flood Burial) promoted, second heavenly tier of divine ability (Hell Flood Life)】

Hum—

Before his eyes, black mist roiled and intertwined, constantly condensing into prompt text.

Li Che's eyes opened and closed, his mood slightly fluctuating as he beheld the divine ability prototype and divine ability gained from the Dao Fruit's metamorphosis; his feelings, however, did not change much.

Perhaps because he had undergone many changes of the Dao Fruit, he had already become tranquil.

However, each Dao Fruit is special; its metamorphosis inevitably gives Li Che a strong sense of impact.

"This Hell Dao Fruit... its divine ability is the 'Yellow Springs of Life and Death'; could its Dao tribulation be the Primordial Water Tribulation?"

Li Che couldn't help but think of this, and his expression shifted slightly.

Now, Li Che lacks only the Primordial Earth Tribulation to gather and complete the Nine Primordial Tribulations.

However, this earth tribulation offers no clue whatsoever.

Moreover, the acquisition of Dao Fruits is inherently random, like opening a blind box; even Li Che has no way of knowing what kind of Dao Fruit he will obtain.

He drew a gentle breath.

Li Che stood in Mo City Fengdu; beneath his cute bovine mask, his jet-black, vigorous hair resembled a sharp divine sword, swaying as if it sliced the air.

This made Cang Che, standing opposite Li Che, tremble with fear.

And behind Li Che, that terrifying entity, once fully aroused, had the four ancient sigils fused into the dreadful mechanized beast covering the Heaven-Titan Armor, now erupting with a fearsome heavenly pressure.

Li Che tested the divine child prototype and divine ability of the Hell Dao Fruit.

The divine ability prototype Hell Armor can manifest a layer of molten lava-like armor on the flesh's surface, extremely scorching, capable of resisting damage.

However, for Li Che now, it is better than nothing.

After all, Li Che's flesh has been tempered into a Mundane Sacred Body, immensely strong and resilient, so his need for such defensive armor is low.

As for the first heavenly tier divine ability, Hell Flood Slay.

It is a killing method that can shatter the ground, overturn the earth, scour it with blazing magma, and contains tremendous lethal power.

And the second heavenly tier divine ability, Hell Flood Life…

It is somewhat mysterious, possessing a brief resurrection ability: it can bury the corpse flesh of the dead, then produce a complete corpse body, which can erupt with the full strength it had in life; subsequently using Hell Flood Slay can detonate that fully formed corpse, greatly boosting the power of Hell Flood Slay!

However, Li Che's eyes brightened slightly, feeling that if Hell Flood Life were combined with the God-Restraining technique, it might yield unexpected gains.

Overall, the Hell Dao Fruit reaching lv5 still provides him considerable help.

Of course, for him now, the help is quite limited.

Boom—

The entire Mo City Fengdu was in turmoil.

It seemed that the connection with the netherworld was being built ever more tightly.

However, Nirvana powerhouses are truly too strong; seizing a god is extremely difficult, for the stronger one's cultivation, the harder it is to seize a god, and one must worry about the situation of the Nine Nether Life and Death Path.

Li Che slew a Nirvana of the Dark Heavenly Court, and he did not linger long in Mo City Fengdu.

Seizing a god from a Nirvana cultivator, for Li Che, if previously he had not broken through to the Dao Union Realm and was merely a Profound Immortal who had just ignited his immortal flame, he would likely fail at seizing the god.

But now that Li Che has successfully achieved Dao Union, he is able to carry out the god-seizing.

Although difficult, he ultimately succeeded, and of course there is a reason—perhaps it was because the Hell Dao Fruit absorbed and devoured the Nine Nether Life and Death Path.

Buzz—

After successfully seizing the god of a Nirvana, Li Che again employed the Hellwaterfall Life divine ability, restoring the Nirvana's fleshly body to completeness.

A surging vitality burst forth from the corpse condensed by Hellwaterfall Life.

With a flick of his finger, the black chess piece formed by the god-seizing shot out, permeating the corpse, instantly seeming to melt away, merging into the limbs and bones, and beginning to control this skeletal remains.

Li Che could feel the terrifying energy contained within the skeletal remains.

If such energy were to detonate, it would likely destroy heaven and earth, utterly terrifying!

A fleshly bomb of Nirvana Sovereign level!

If fully detonated, even a Quasi Heavenly King would likely suffer heavy damage if caught off guard.

The self-detonation of a Nirvana cultivator, even at the early stage, is bound to be extremely terrifying.

Rumble rumble—

Mo City Fengdu had not completely shattered; it was slowly recovering, and once the repairs were complete, the Dao Fruit of the Immortal in the Painting could again gain improvement.

Li Che's mind stirred slightly.

【Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv9, 10%)】

Achieving the Dao Fruit of Seven Transformations, the maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra appeared before his eyes.

The Dao Fruit maturity gained from slaying a Nirvana was not as much as Li Che had imagined……

Or rather, it was already quite a lot, but the Seven Transformations Dao Fruit requires an enormous amount of maturity for transformation.

Yet Li Che felt quite pleased in his heart.

Because slaying an early-stage Nirvana grants a bonus to the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit's transformation, meaning that killing an early-stage Nirvana is useful……

That Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit had not yet reached the point where the Dao Fruit's lord despairs, transformation impossible, unable to achieve Nine Transformations.

"Nine Transformations of the Dao Fruit…… is it really that hard?"

Li Che's eyes flickered.

For him, up to now he had not yet encountered difficulty in Dao Fruit transformation; at least, there was still hope.

The Dao Fruit maturity gained from the Seven Transformations Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit gave Li Che an epiphany feedback, which he did not use, intending to employ it when achieving Dao Union.

Now, he used the Spirit River as a lubricant to complete the union of two Great Daos.

And there remain five Great Daos that need to be united.

The burden is heavy and the road long.

Li Che ended his thoughts, glanced at the respectful Cang Che, pondered, assigned him some assessment content, and then left Fengdu.

He planned to go celebrate Xixi's birthday.

Xixi's tenth birthday, as her father, he naturally could not be absent.

Li Che had already missed Xixi's ninth birthday, and this time, being in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he naturally could not miss it again.

Every absence is a regret!

……

……

Buzz buzz buzz—

The void trembled incessantly.

Terrifying Nirvana will rolled forth in waves; the Quasi Heavenly King of the Dark Heavenly Court, like a body of radiant light spanning myriad zhang, lay across the sky, his gaze sweeping, his face grim as water.

The other two Nirvanas also lay across and gathered together.

The void outside Yunxiao Village seemed to turn into a mire, solidifying together, making even the slightest movement extremely difficult.

At the entrance of Yunxiao Village.

Tuoba Lian leaned on a cane, hunched over, his whole body facing this oppression, like he might topple at any moment, as if about to be crushed.

However, even so, Tuoba Lian did not retreat an inch; he remained standing here, blocking and withstanding the terrifying pressure brought by the three Nirvana powerhouses for Yunxiao Village!

Suddenly.

Under the tense atmosphere.

In the void, abruptly, black smoke surged forth in rolling waves.

The spatial Dao undulated; a figure staggered back out of the void, coughing up fresh blood, the blood suffused with the power of rules and order.

This Nirvana Sovereign's face was extremely grim, a ferocious wound on his chest, the cracks around the wound spreading outward across his body.

He panted heavily, his essence, energy, and spirit fluctuating violently.

However, the moment this Nirvana appeared, the tense atmosphere was shattered.

Seeing this Nirvana return, the other two and the Quasi Heavenly King all let out a sigh of relief at once.

Not dead!

Not dying is good; it also means that the mysterious entity's strike gave them a chance to survive.

"Profound Feather King, who exactly struck you?!"

The Quasi Heavenly King spoke in a deep voice, and at the same time, the powerful Nirvana will swept outward, probing this Nirvana's body.

I wanted to check whether this Nirvana cultivator was actually someone else in disguise, but after confirming that this Nirvana cultivator's flesh and blood were real, it was only that the Nirvana will was somewhat weak.

My heart instead relaxed even more.

But he still couldn't help but ask:

"Is he the Ksitigarbha King mentioned by the Young Emperor?"

Prince Xuanling, that is, the early-stage Nirvana cultivator slain by Li Che, still had lingering fear on his face.

"No, it's a masked expert whose face I can't see clearly, possessing formidable strength, with Nirvana-level combat power… He dragged me into a minor cave heaven, intending to strike me off guard, but I reacted in time and fought my way out despite sustaining injuries."

Prince Xuanling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression cold and ruthless.

Upon hearing that, the quasi-Heavenly King frowned.

The masked expert…

He shook his head, unable to determine which faction's Nirvana cultivator the opponent was.

The quasi-Heavenly King had no choice but to have the others stay alert; the three Nirvana cultivators each drew close, ready to relay any news immediately.

At the entrance of Yunxiao Village.

Tuoba Lian narrowed his eyes, watching the Dark Heavenly Court Nirvana experts who had relaxed their guard, and couldn't help but think of something.

Suddenly, Tuoba Lian seemed to sense something.

He looked toward a direction in the village.

There, at some point, a figure in dark robes appeared, black hair flying, a gentle smile on his face.

Mo Che?

Tuoba Lian's wrinkled face instantly broke into a smile.

What a coincidence?

That Nirvana expert was fished out, and then Mo Che returned…

It seems whatever happened to that Nirvana expert was likely done by Mo Che.

Li Che greeted Tuoba Lian, then headed straight back into the village, hands behind his back, walking forward.

Yunhuang was trying out the Immortal Craft Barrett in the clearing, and upon sensing Li Che's returning aura, she excitedly hoisted the Barrett and strode forward with her long, straight, fair legs.

"Teacher!"

Yunhuang's eyes were bright.

Yunlei belatedly jumped up.

They were fast, but someone was faster!

Xixi burst from the village, almost turning into a black streak of light, stepping on the Infernal Lotus Wind-Fire Golden Light Wheel, rushing like a meteor.

With a bang, she crashed into Li Che's embrace.

If Li Che's physical body weren't strong enough, he'd likely be sent spinning like someone hit by a truck.

"Isn't today Xixi's birthday? I've come back to celebrate her birthday first."

Li Che held Xixi, smiling gently as he said.

In Yunxiao Village, many barefoot children ran out, each following the child king Xixi, jumping and cheering.

The village instantly became a lively scene.

Xixi was extremely happy, never expecting her father to remember that today was her birthday.

Her father even came back specially from outside to celebrate her birthday with her—how blissful!

Besides Xixi, Zhang Ya was also quite surprised; she wore the Meng Po mask, holding the little fox Su Da, leaning against the doorframe.

Watching the father and daughter surrounded by the village children, she couldn't help but break into a gentle smile, her eyes soft.

……

……

After spending Xixi's birthday with her, Li Che originally wanted to stay in the village a bit longer.

But news came from the Ruins Mountain Ancient City that they were about to set out for Taisu Heaven to participate in the Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly.

So Li Che had to bid farewell to the villagers once again.

"Father! Take Xixi with you!"

When no one was around, Xixi tugged Li Che's hand, shaking it repeatedly as she coquettishly said.

She also wanted to go see the Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly!

Besides that, Xixi also wanted to see how the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was doing; when she was in the mortal realm, she had been stunned by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!

"It's too dangerous out there." Zhang Ya said.

"Mother, isn't Father here? He'll definitely protect me!"

Xixi continued to act coquettishly, turning her head to look at Li Che, both eyes shining like little stars.

Faced with such coquettishness from his daughter, which old father could withstand it?

At least, Li Che couldn't withstand it, and of course also because he now had confidence in being able to protect Xixi's safety.

If necessary, he could simply place Xixi into Mo City Fengdu.

If that truly wasn't possible, he could still use the Flying Thunder Chess Pieces to teleport her away, and there was also the Sovereign Clone able to safeguard Xixi's safety.

Moreover, Li Che could also transfer the right to operate the Qi Tian Armor to Xixi, even though Xixi had not cultivated the Grand Dao Heavenly River.

However, Li Che possessed many Dao vessels; by diverting one to carry Xixi, he could enable her to command the Armored Qi Tian Nirvana with Extended Arms!

This too is a means of preserving life.

"Good."

When Li Che agreed, Xixi sprang up, threw her arms around his cheeks, and gave him a big smacking kiss.

In Yunxiao Village, Xixi was almost like a succubus, but before Li Che she became somewhat wanton and unrestrained.

Your posture—if those little followers of yours see it, the image of Xixi Great Emperor in their minds will probably completely collapse!

Li Che said teasingly.

Xixi stuck out tongue, shook head, looking completely unbothered.

This time, when Li Che left the village, he didn't alarm too many people.

The little ox-demon mask was put on Xixi, and several chess pieces were left on her body, completely shielding the hell-lotus curse aura on Xixi.

Zhang Ya handed the little fox Su Da to Xixi; at critical moments, let little Su Da protect Xixi.

As for Zhang Ya herself, she was refining the divine armament big package Li Che gave her in Yunxiao Village; when refining the divine armament, she didn't need little Su Da's help.

Xixi treated little Su Da like a scarf, wrapping it around Xixi's neck, and followed Li Che to the village entrance, where Xixi saw Tuoba Lian.

"Grandpa Lian, I want to go play with Mr. Mo Che!"

Xixi, wearing little Su Da as a scarf, greeted Tuoba Lian.

Tuoba Lian immediately responded with a smiling grin.

"Be careful!"

"No problem!"

The conversation between the old and the young was very open and cheerful.

Li Che held Xixi's hand and nodded at Tuoba Lian.

Then, taking a step, he performed Star Shift.

This time's Star Shift, because it involved one's own people, even failed to attract the notice of that quasi-heavenly king.

Li Che directly used the Xuanling King's direction as a breakthrough, charging out of the village.

After several consecutive Star Shifts, he quickly reached Enter Xuan Mountain.

As his cultivation reached the Harmony Dao realm, Li Che's profound immortal will grew stronger; several shifts basically incurred no major cost.

Enter Xuan Mountain, inside the ancient city.

Li Che, via the lightning chess pieces left on his sovereign clone, achieved position swapping.

"Wow! Is this Enter Xuan Mountain? Dad… Mr. still managed to get a single residence in the palace?"

Xixi was extremely surprised, grabbing the two tails of little Su Da, curiously scrutinizing the palace.

"Hey? Where did this little brat come from? Cangche Immortal Hand is now a genius immortal hand in the Young Emperor's Immortal Hand corps, highly hoped for by the Young Emperor, and even Zhao Yuan Great Immortal plans to, after this Thus: Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly ends, take Cangche Immortal Hand as a disciple!"

Just as Xixi was surprised,

Cangyuan walked from outside the hall.

Upon seeing Xixi wearing the cute ox-demon mask, surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he knew Li Che's identity was special, so he wasn't too surprised, merely thinking Li Che had brought a village child to see the world.

Of course, Cangyuan also didn't think of Xixi in the direction of the Hell Lotus Maiden.

"Hell Lotus Maiden… how could she possibly appear under the Young Emperor's nose at this critical juncture?"

He simply couldn't imagine it.

Even the Young Emperor Ji Shaohao couldn't imagine it.

When Li Che brought Xixi and Cangyuan out of the hall to see Ji Shaohao, Ji Shaohao seeing Xixi also slightly startled.

"The junior from the village also has talent in the divine condor aspect; I specially had Cangyuan bring her back, perhaps this Thus: Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly could give her great inspiration and cultivation."

"Cultivating the village's juniors is of utmost importance."

Ji Shaohao raised his eyebrows, his gaze falling on Xixi, yet he sensed nothing abnormal.

Zhao Yuan Great Immortal, however, came laughing: 'Well said!'

"For a village to rise, besides relying on us who bear the village's limit, the village's children must also go out to become pillars."

"For a village to achieve a leap in rank, it has always required the efforts of generation after generation!"

Zhao Yuan Great Immortal's gaze fell on Xixi, smiling narrowly.

"Little girl, carve something for Grandpa to see?"

Xixi tilted her head, under the ox-demon mask, her eyes bright and glowing.

"Sure!"

Xixi was not afraid either.

Xixi took out a carving knife, casually found a piece of wood, and began carving on the spot.

Let alone, Xixi's skill is still quite exquisite; although Li Che didn't teach much, through constant exposure and the bond of the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, Xixi's divine condor skill truly shows some semblance.

Roughly at the level of a half-sage divine condor!

"Hahaha! Indeed not bad for a girl valued by Cangche; truly not bad! At this age to have half-sage divine condor level, future immortal hand is promising!"

Zhao Yuan Great Immortal laughed loudly; if Canglan Village could produce two divine condor immortal hands, future assault on the Three Pure Ancient Village would hardly be difficult.

Ji Shaohao also gave Xixi another look; this age's half-sage divine condor is indeed quite good.

He had already begun to consider how to recruit Cangche and Xixi in the future.

"Alright, we've stayed in Enter Xuan Mountain for quite a while; it's time to go to Tai Su Heaven."

"This also conveniently allows us to meet in advance the divine condor immortal hands of the Guiyao Cave and Black Sumeru, to gauge their skill levels."

Ji Shaohao said.

This Thus: Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly is basically the stage for the divine condor immortal hands of the three major divine factions.

Li Che naturally had no objection.

Ji Shaohao then took out his kind of divine armament ancient bell, threw it out, and it hovered in midair.

"Dong——!"

A bell rang, the bell waves like surging tides.

Those many Divine Eagle Immortal Hands still cultivating in the ancient village opened their eyes, sensed the situation, and quickly gathered.

At the center of the palace complex lies the transmission platform of Enter Profound Mountain.

Statues of divine officials each tower a hundred zhang tall, with varied postures, standing amidst the drifting white mist and dust, like a dream, like an illusion.

Li Che led Xixi, following Ji Shao Hao and Zhao Yuan, the Great Immortal, as they arrived at the transmission platform.

The ten teams of Divine Eagle Immortal Hands recruited by Ji Shao Hao, together with the dozen or so others not selected by him but who likewise passed the selection and obtained quotas, all stood on the transmission platform.

Hum—

A Nirvana Sovereign instantly appeared, eyes opening, tearing open the void within the white mist, the Nirvana path of life and death hanging down.

Massive divine energy surged frenziedly into the transmission platform.

The transmission formation was instantly activated!

Hummm—

Ji Shao Hao took a deep breath; even he could not help but show a few traces of excitement on his face.

The Qi Tian Divine Pill!

He longed for this divine pill too much!

As long as he obtains the Qi Tian Divine Pill, he can likely transform into the Undying level before this eighth divine tide ends.

Not only him, but Fu Shao Xi and Shi Shao Jia likely also headed for this divine pill.

Besides, the young emperors of the three great and two holy ancient villages of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths should also vie fiercely for this divine pill.

Boom—

The transmission platform activated, and spatial Great Dao power burst forth.

The power of translocation surged upward.

And before the transmission, Li Che tossed a Flying Thunder chess piece onto the platform, leaving hidden hands everywhere—this was practically Li Che's Chess Saint instinct.

The transmission did not last long.

Because the number of realm barriers one needs to cross from Profound Heavens to Grand Primordial Heavens is not many.

Boom—!!!

The spatial passage was resplendent with seven colors, constantly flowing with light, like a white colt passing a gap, flashing swiftly.

Soon, they reached the realm barrier between Profound Heavens and Grand Primordial Heavens!

It was as if a fortress stood in the void, with countless spatial torrents constantly scouring the ancient fortress above!

And above the fortress, it seemed a pair of vast eyes opened, within which countless cosmic stars turned and shifted,

Li Che's mind stirred slightly; the heaven-and-earth chessboard expanded, completely restraining Xixi's aura.

The will of an Undying Divine Spirit swept across!

Between each realm barrier sits an Undying Divine Spirit to guard and oversee.

"Is this... the Undying Old Lord?"

Li Che asked.

Ji Shao Hao turned his head, looked over, and laughed: "Of course not; the Undying Old Lord... but we, the Dark Heavenly Court's true supreme Heaven Undying, this one is the Dark Heavenly Court's Central Heaven Purple Micro Undying, namely an Earth Undying."

Upon hearing this, Li Che immediately performed a respectful salute, yet his heart felt rather heavy regarding the Dark Heavenly Court's overall strength.

Earth Undying and Heaven Undying—there are indeed quite a number of them.

Whether it be the Dark Heavenly Court, the Ghost Demon Lair, or the Black Sumeru.

When it comes to Undying-level battle strength, they indeed crush the Hell Lotus side.

No wonder, the three major divine factions basically maintain a state of control over the Hell Lotus; wanting to break the situation is indeed extremely difficult.

Within the fortress, the projected Undying gaze is extremely sharp and terrifying.

Whether it be the young emperor Ji Shao Hao or the Great Immortal Zhao Yuan, none dare to be negligent; facing the Undying, they perform a respectful salute and pay homage.

Hum—

When they passed through the fortress unimpeded.

The void twisted.

Everyone directly ended their spatial journey, appearing on a transmission platform of Enter Profound Mountain in the Grand Primordial Heavens.

"Wah—!!!"

Just as the spatial journey ended, the intense dizziness just vanished.

Xixi couldn't help but open her mouth and let out a "wah" exclamation.

On the transmission platform, silhouettes appeared intermittently; spatial Great Dao fluctuations wove together, and figures transmitted from various places landed, adorning the platform.

Even looking at this transmission platform, Li Che couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb.

There are a total of eighty-one colossal statues standing all around; the diameter of the transmission platform reaches a hundred li.

But what Xixi exclaimed about was not the transmission platform.

Because the transmission platform sits atop the summit of Enter Profound Mountain.

Xixi opened her eyes and saw, opposite Enter Profound Mountain, a towering, immensely huge city, resembling a giant tripod cauldron!

"This city is called the Heaven-Enveloping Palace, where the Undying Old Lord holds the Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly, and it is also one of the three premier holy cities of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Even Zhao Yuan, the Great Immortal Divine Eagle, facing that immense Heaven-Enveloping Palace city, could not help but reveal a shocked expression.

And at this very moment.

Li Che gazed at the Heaven-Enveloping Palace city, and within his chest, the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit burst forth with an intense reaction.

Within the inner vision of the mud pellet palace, the seven-aperture exquisite heart throbbed violently.

Thump thump thump—

Invisible ripples spread, leaving Li Che's emotions unable to calm.

Within this Heaven-Containing Palace City, it seems something is attracting the Pure Heart Dao Fruit!

Besides that……

Li Che's brow glowed faintly.

Then, the Heaven-Earth Chessboard expanded.

Clatter—

The sound of chains clashing seemed to come from beside his ear.

Beneath a towering Sky-Piercing Pillar, countless chains coiled, binding a figure to it.

Countless heavenly thunder rolled, divine fire surged, burning and slashing that figure.

Flying Thunder Chess Pieces jumped, projecting images within the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.

Li Che's gaze narrowed as he slowly exhaled a solemn aura like agarwood.

He finally felt……

The aura of Qi Tian!
