Chapter 2076: Chapter 525: Immortal Artisan Fuses Ancient Talismans to Forge Immortal Mecha; Great Golden Crow Sweeps Divine Capital, Emperor Kneels [Monthly Ticket Request]_2

Above the Tao River, he roamed and comprehended deeply!

Li Che was still a little short of the Divine Sculpture Immortal Position, but the gap was not large.

The soft rustling sound echoed faintly; Li Che liked this quiet feeling, as if even his Heart had returned to calm.

While carving, Li Che was also thinking.

As for the Divine Dao, he was now only a Quasi-god; although with the help of the Dao Boat he could roam the Tao River, capture Tao Divine Patterns, and comprehend the Godly Patterns.

However, according to the Divine Tao, since he had yet to ignite Divine Fire, he could not be considered a god, not counted as a Deity.

He had not yet stepped into the Divine Fire realm.

Even though Li Che’s Combat Power was extraordinary, since he was not Divine Fire, he ultimately was not a Deity...

”I need to maintain the balance between the Divine Tao and the Martial Path. My Path of Martial Immortal... has now inscribed three types of Tao Immortal Patterns; my Physical Body has given birth to Mystical Intent and can transform into the power of Wind Fire and Water Tribulation...”

”Which is to say, if I were willing, I could step into the Profound Immortal Realm... whereas on the Divine Tao side, I still fall a bit short and cannot act as I please.”

”Therefore, I should use Tao Divine Patterns to forge a Divine Platform, preparing for the ignition of Divine Fire.”

Li Che’s fingers moved nimbly, the engraving knife leaping and dancing at his fingertips.

Rustling wood shavings were sliced off and flew about.

Forging a Divine Platform was not difficult for Li Che; the Divine Platform was forged by relying on Tao Divine Patterns, but Li Che’s Divinity was too vast and majestic, so the Divine Platform he forged had to be extremely tenacious.

Thus, the number of Tao Divine Patterns required was by no means small.

”Just draw them from the Tao River...”

A plan had already formed in Li Che’s Heart.

”Hoo—”

Li Che blew hard at the finished Wood Carving.

In an instant, the wood shavings on the Wood Carving fluttered up, stirring dust, falling like drifting incense smoke.

Within the Wood Carving, Xi Xi’s lifelike appearance emerged.

It was as if she were blinking her eyes, then jumped out of Li Che’s palm, leaping onto the desk and humming and hah-ing through a set of Fist Techniques.

Li Che gazed softly at the carved Xi Xi.

”I wonder how Xi Xi is doing now in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths...”

Li Che took a deep breath.

His mind stirred.

A Divine Spirit Thought rose and fell, appearing within the Heaven and Earth chessboard.

Crisscrossing lines suddenly spread out—that was the Heaven and Earth chessboard’s net, unfolding everywhere before his eyes.

Li Che strolled within, as if walking atop the starry sky, like a Deity inspecting the cosmos, supremely exalted.

With a flick of his finger, a Chess Piece emitting hazy white light, like a star, drifted up.

That was the Thunder Chess Piece Li Che had left on Xi Xi’s body.

Li Che’s mind revolved; in his chest, the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit throbbed intensely and violently, urging the Dao Fruit Power, wanting to see Xi Xi’s current situation through the Thunder Chess Piece.

Buzz buzz buzz—

Misty white radiance shot skyward from the Heaven and Earth chessboard, the hazy glow weaving a very blurry image.

In the image, there were vague figures; there seemed to be the blurred silhouette of a little girl, as if she were fighting someone, with streams of light intertwining and surging auras...

Even though the image was very blurry, Li Che recognized at a glance that this little lass who was brawling could only be nine-year-old Xi Xi.

”This little girl... even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths she won’t stay out of trouble.”

Li Che shook his head with a wry smile.

The image was too blurry.

The isolating power of the Heaven and Earth Will in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was extremely strong.

Li Che’s Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit was only at Five Sheddings; its Rank was insufficient, making it impossible to span the boundary wall and clearly reflect Xi Xi’s situation.

The main reason was that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Human World were separated by too great a distance, with an extremely terrifying power blocking between.

Moreover, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, because of the battle at the Third Prince’s Mysterious Temple, the Three Immortals whose will-avatars had been severed likely had their thoughts surging as well.

This caused the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit to find it exceedingly difficult to obtain a vision through the Thunder Chess Piece on Xi Xi’s body.

In fact, Li Che had even once considered whether, through the teleportation of the Thunder Chess Piece, he could perform a leap and appear at Xi Xi’s side.

However, as soon as this thought arose, Li Che abandoned it.

Because a great terror surged in his Heart: it might be possible...

But once he chose to make the leap, his Physical Body, his flesh, would likely be cut apart and blown to pieces by the Space-Time Power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the human world’s Strange Que, and the Human World during the Teleportation process, utterly annihilated.

”In the end, the maturity of the Dao Fruit just isn’t high enough...”

Li Che exhaled a breath.

The Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit was still only Level 7; Li Che had to find a way to raise it to the Level 8 Rank.

His mind moved, and he withdrew from the Heaven and Earth chessboard.

In the study, Li Che quietly watched the wooden Xi Xi throwing punches with unrestrained vigor.

After a long while, he stood up, stretched lazily, his entire body’s bones and tendons chiming together.

He walked out of the house and gave this Wood Carving to Zhang Ya.

Zhang Ya was drenched in sweat; seeing the Xi Xi Wood Carving that Li Che had carved, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. A mother’s longing for her daughter could no longer be suppressed.

”Don’t worry, my wife, soon I’ll let you see Xi Xi.”

Li Che tenderly rubbed Zhang Ya’s head.

After that, bidding Zhang Ya farewell, Li Che’s whole person appeared within Mo City Fengdu.

His Divinity suddenly withdrew; from his entire body, Qi-Blood surged forth.

His black, vigorous hair danced and turned into a Gold-plated hue; in his eyes, dazzling lightning burst forth, swaying and intertwining.

His Five Fingers, like Divine Spears, pierced through the void as Li Che directly began to rehearse his Martial Arts in Mo City.

A great dragon roared along his spine, his bones and tendons snapping and vibrating in unison, thundering like exploding lightning!

Then, vortex after vortex of Golden Blood Qi began to whirl into existence!
