As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1562 - 415: Above Martial Saint Lies Martial Immortal, Walking on Thin Ice I Prefer Backstabbing [Monthly Ticket Request]
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
"Am I now capable of enduring the blast from the Eighth Qimen Immortal Seed?"
Li Che fell into deep thought.
The emergence of the Martial Immortal Golden Body filled Li Che with an indescribable sense of thrill and longing.
He likely could, though perhaps not to the point of being completely immune to damage.
However, it didn't truly matter. Li Che possessed the ability to shift any incoming harm to his Dominator Avatar, letting it absorb the blow while he remained in a state of perfection.
In all likelihood, his physical form wouldn't suffer so much as a minor graze.
Lifting his hand, Li Che watched as a soft golden radiance emanated from his five fingers. Simultaneously, the Niwan at his brow split open, revealing the Star Plucking Pupil.
As he inspected his hand, it appeared as though golden bones were pulsing with a brilliant light beneath his translucent skin and muscle!
A terrifying force surged from within his finger bones.
Whoosh—!
Li Che thrust his fingers forward like a Divine Spear, seemingly carving a void directly into the atmosphere.
Crackle...
Rising from his seat, Li Che’s entire frame erupted in a series of sharp, explosive pops from his muscles and bones.
"Pure Martial cultivation... is the Martial Immortal truly the realm beyond the Martial Saint? It is fundamentally different from the Martial God."
Li Che reflected on this.
The Pure Martial path belongs to the Immortal Martial Path.
In contrast, the Martial Path that incorporates Divinity is categorized as the Divine Martial Path.
He wondered if one held superiority over the other.
While the Divine Martial Path was likely more accessible, the Immortal Martial Path represented the most untainted form of martial arts!
Nonetheless, the Immortal Martial way was excessively grueling.
Even with his massive hoard of resources and the assistance of his Dao Fruit, Li Che had only just managed to tread the Immortal Martial Path and forge his Martial Immortal Golden Body.
If it were anyone else relying solely on their natural Martial Arts Talent...
Li Che found it difficult to conceive of the level of genius required to walk such a road.
Of course, just because Li Che couldn't imagine it didn't mean such people didn't exist. In ancient eras... there must have been those who blazed a trail beyond Pure Martial.
One must never underestimate the world's hidden masters!
The talent of certain individuals often defies common understanding.
As Li Che stretched, the sheer force of his movements rattled the air. His eyes flashed, and the Pure Martial Qi Sea Golden Pool manifested instantly above him.
A Ten Thousand Feet Qi Sea Golden Pond churned with violent waves as the Martial Arts Immortal Mountain rose from within!
Golden radiance shimmered upon the Immortal Mountain as Li Che’s Martial Dao Will continued its ascent!
His will had become as unyielding as tempered steel!
Upon that Martial Arts Immortal Mountain, his will climbed with steady, resolute steps. Within his dantian, the Martial Arts Heavenly Pill was being processed, its immense medicinal power fueling his golden Qi-Blood and providing the momentum needed for his will to scale the peak.
Thanks to the revelations gained during the detonation of the Eight Mystical Doors, Li Che’s ascent felt as if it were guided by the heavens, each step feeling incredibly solid. Where he had previously only cleared a third of the mountain, he was now nearly at the summit.
"I am just short... my Qi-Blood is lacking because the Martial Arts Heavenly Pill’s energy has run dry!"
"Even the combined strength of three Four Imperial Rank Martial Arts Heavenly Pills wasn't enough to reach the Absolute Peak!"
Li Che clicked his tongue in realization.
Still, he felt no rush regarding the final stretch. Even without the help of pills, he could rely on his personal cultivation to push forward and complete his breakthrough over time!
It would likely take another month or two.
"Seven days have slipped by without me noticing..."
Time moves quickly during cultivation. Li Che hadn't anticipated that refining the Martial Immortal Golden Body within his study would take so long.
With a single thought, he expanded the Heaven and Earth chessboard, instantly covering the entirety of Qianyuan Dao City.
After a quick scan to ensure nothing was amiss, he pulled his consciousness back.
His wife, Zhang Ya, was out in the courtyard practicing her martial forms alongside the Golden-haired Hou, her movements full of focus.
Acting as Li Che’s loyal servant, the Golden-haired Hou provided serious answers to her questions and offered meticulous guidance.
Li Che smiled and flicked his fingers, manifesting a Painting Immortal Avatar to step out and manage external business.
Li Che intended to go into seclusion next, aiming to break through to the Martial Dao Four Openings realm and officially reach the Absolute Peak.
However, there were many tasks in Qianyuan Dao City that required his attention.
The Painting Immortal Avatar was the perfect solution for this.
It could handle duties like teaching the Divine Sculpting Skill to the craftsmen at Divine Carving Ridge.
As he watched his avatar depart, Li Che triggered the Heaven and Earth chessboard once more, sealing the room off from the world.
"Hu..."
"Ha..."
With a steady breath, a shifting light flickered in Li Che’s eyes.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv6, 97%), Fairy in the Painting (lv6, 30%)]
The progress of his two most advanced Dao Fruits appeared before him.
Li Che looked them over, feeling relatively calm.
He felt the growth of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit was actually a bit slow. During the assassination attempt, although he had ended Xie Yushen, the man's power wasn't great enough to provide much maturity.
As for the clash with Zhao Beidou, while it was a massive triumph that left his opponent broken...
Because he hadn't actually killed him, the maturity gained was significantly less than it would have been otherwise.
"Still, it is nearly there."
Li Che smiled, feeling no pressure.
Zhao Beidou...
Currently crippled and tucked away within the court army by Xie Yushen, he hadn't fled yet.
He was like a ripe peach hanging from a branch, simply waiting for Li Che to come and pluck him.
The progress of the Fairy in the Painting Dao Fruit was also expected.
Since Mo City had been destroyed and was now in a state of self-repair, that restoration process was rapidly boosting the Dao Fruit’s maturity.
Consequently, the Fairy in the Painting Dao Fruit had seen a massive spike in growth!
