A drop of ink forms the Fairy in the Painting's avatar as Xi Xi in the courtyard, completing her transformation unnoticed by most, though Yun E and Zhou Peng sense Uncle Li's brewing major move. Qi Tian City thrives with influxes of cultivators from dynasties, sects, and powerful lands, all seeking elusive legacies in the now-barren streets once scoured by demons. In the City Lord’s Mansion, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable confers with arrogant monks from the Western Regions Buddha Land, who display golden cicada patterns upon the Night Bat Demon God's arrival and warn of a blood disaster before departing. Li Che, upon receiving Night Bat's report, recalls a past monk named Golden Cicada linked to a massacre, suspects the Buddha Land's involvement with the Deceitful Gods Camp, and extends his Heaven and Earth chessboard toward the monks.

Once those monks departed from the City Lord’s Mansion, they headed back to the courtyard, where they all sat in cross-legged meditation, immersing themselves in cultivation and murmuring Buddhist incantations, with each one wrapped in glowing Buddha Light.

Li Che probed the situation briefly but found no clues, so he turned his attention inward once more, envisioning the Heaven and Earth chessboard in his consciousness.

Regardless of the schemes these monks from the Western Regions Buddha Land harbored, Li Che felt deep disdain for them ever since uncovering their role as the puppeteers behind Ji Moli.

With a mere flicker of intent, he called forth Grandmaster Huang Mei, who was marching alongside Xie Yushen’s forces after subduing the Guangling Dao Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, now pushing toward the Qingyun Daoxuan Fu Shen Sect.

Command Grandmaster Huang Mei to journey to Qi Tian City.

The Little Lingyin Temple shares strong ties with the Western Regions Buddha Land.

Instruct Grandmaster Huang Mei to slip among those Western Regions Buddha Land monks, positioning himself like a hidden blade ready to strike at the perfect instant.

Upon checking and noting that the monks were deeply absorbed in their cultivation, Li Che resolved to resume his own practice, gearing up for the forthcoming scheme to gather the Twelve Demon Gods.

A single thought triggered his teleportation.

He materialized inside Mo City Fengdu.

A gentle black rain was falling lightly.

As Li Che appeared, he touched down on a vast black jade square, where droplets splashed up, forming swirling veils of dark mist.

In his mind, a surge of will activated the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit in his torso, causing it to quake and hum fiercely!

The Instant Enlightenment Feedback from the Dao Fruit poured out like a rushing stream.

Li Che’s eyes snapped open wide, his thick black locks whipping ferociously through the atmosphere, every dark raindrop exploding on impact.

Rising to his feet, he balled his hand into a fist, and within his left limb, sinews and skeleton thrummed with power.

A sharp blaze of saber energy burst free.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Innumerable saber beams exploded outward from the sacred glow in his left arm.

It was the Three-pointed Double-edged Knife, dropping neatly into his grasp, gripped sideways in one hand; a sweeping arc unleashed a storm of blade energies, cleaving through the winds with howling precision!

Triggering the Instant Enlightenment Feedback of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, streams of golden mist streamed from Li Che’s gaze.

He set about comprehending Martial Arts!

His aim was to evolve the Divinity Transformation True Martial Thousand Mountains Solo Divine Blade into the Immortal Seed Martial Art known as Thousand Mountains Solo Sky-cutting Saber!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The might of the Dao Tribulation unleashed in a flash, birthing a strand of Tribulation Wind forged from the Primordial Sky Slash that howled wildly, crumpling and fracturing the void in an eyeblink, the severance flawlessly clean, its razor-sharp force utterly horrifying!

Vital Qi erupted in a thunderous boom, his frame expanding massively, the Martial Immortal Golden Body pushed to its limits, the body’s endurance stretched to the maximum.

A ray of golden brilliance shot from between his brows, rocketing upward, as the Heavenly Gate boomed open!

Behind the Immortal Gate loomed an eternal Martial Immortal in the boundless realm, brandishing its own Immortal Saber!

Spanning myriad peaks with one strike to repel a coiling Jiao Dragon!

Li Che’s consciousness plunged fully into an enigmatic trance, blade energies weaving in intricate patterns, the Tribulation Wind’s fury bursting forth without cease!

Tearing, demolishing, extinguishing, savage!

Li Che dismantled his insights on saber methods, then forged them into something fresh.

Buzz—

Li Che sensed himself perched on a lofty summit, gales battering and shrieking all around.

Far off across the peak stretched endless waves of verdant mountains, resembling jade hills from a virtuoso’s scroll!

Midway along the slopes, foggy paths twisted and coiled, drifting ethereally in the breeze!

Atop the summit, Li Che mirrored the myriad emerald mountains at his flank.

But he spared not even a side look; in a blur of motion, the Three-pointed Double-edged Knife whipped around in his grip, then locked firm under his five digits with a crisp click.

Boom—!!!

The very moment he seized the Three-pointed Double-edged Knife.

With a casual side glance, the mirrored countless emerald mountains cleaved clean at their waists, detonating into stark nothingness, as though that sea of peaks had been erased by one devastating cut!

Buzz—

A flood of profound will cascaded through his thoughts.

Li Che’s mouth curved faintly, his golden tresses tumbling to his hips, fluttering like a regal mantle.

Success!

The Thousand Mountains Solo Divine Blade, now empowered by Dao Tribulation and Primordial Sky Slash, had fully evolved into the Thousand Mountains Solo Sky Slash.

An Immortal Seed Martial Art!

Trailing the initial Immortal Seed Martial Art, the Qilin Suppression Seal, Li Che had now conquered his second Immortal Seed Martial Art!

Rumble—

Amid Mo City, the nearby black jade surfaces lay ravaged by endless blade scars.

Li Che’s form loomed grand and imposing, golden sinews like iron cables weaving beneath his flesh.

His backbone arched like a colossal serpent bellowing toward the firmament!

Swirling vortices of golden radiance coiled upward from his vertebrae.

The divine seed martial art once housing the Thousand Mountains Solo Divine Blade was brutally ousted from the spine’s Qi Gate right then, commencing the infusion of Immortal Seed Martial Art’s mystic essence into the Qi Gate.

The Immortal Seed links to the Qi Gate!

At the heart of Martial Arts Profound Meaning lies the core of Immortal Seed Martial Arts!

Blending Dao Tribulation’s force with personal insight births a one-of-a-kind Martial Arts Profound Meaning!

Boom——!!!

The Qimen Divine Seed morphs into the Qimen Immortal Seed...

Agonizing torment flooded his frame in a heartbeat, but without doubt, a colossal strength burgeoned swiftly, and the channels inside his body appeared to gleam with gold!

Buzzing——

The Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword in his hold quivered and sang, as if delighting in the change!

Li Che’s eyes flickered shut and open, the agony ebbing away like retreating waves.

He perceived his body had toughened further, and the Martial Immortal Golden Body had advanced considerably.

[Dragon Elephant Furnace: Martial Immortal Golden Body (15%)]

Surprise lit Li Che’s features; the boost was truly remarkable!

Thus, reshaping every Qimen Divine Seed into a Qimen Immortal Seed yielded such profound results.

Buzz——

The thrilled vibration from the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword caught Li Che’s notice.

Taken aback for a moment, he pondered what thrilled this Divine Weapon so.

Yet as he examined his aureate physique, his gaze wavered slightly.

“Martial Immortal Golden Body...”

“Qimen Eight Immortal Seeds... Body Sanctification?”

Was this why the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword rejoiced?

Yearning for his Body Sanctification?

However, evolving the Eight Qimen Divine Seeds to Eight Qimen Immortal Seeds... would it really sanctify the body?

Even Li Che harbored doubts.

Exhaling a stream of foul Qi, turbulent flows mingled within, carrying razor-edged Sword Energy that rent the void like a tempest, detonating the atmosphere.

The potency of Martial Arts Profound Meaning proved awe-inspiring.

Though freshly attained, this Immortal Seed Martial Art had already hit Minor Accomplishment!

After all, unlike the Qilin Suppression Seal demanding steady refinement, the Thousand Mountains Solo Sky-cutting Blade built upon the existing Divine Seed.

Li Che’s whole form thrummed with bone and muscle harmony.

He stowed the Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword away, then willed forth a torrent of demonic forces that surged and wove.

Next, a scorpion-tailed blade divided in ebony and ivory dropped into his palm, one half shadowed, the other pale, riddled with tiny vents.

It pulsed as if alive, inhaling and exhaling.

Li Che eyed the remains of the Night Bat Demon God and merged the drawn essence blood into the Daoist Yin-Yang Demon Blade.

The Demon Blade twisted, gulping down a chunk of vital blood in a flash, sealing one vent!

A subtle smile played on Li Che’s lips.

He had devised a solution to the shortfall in demonic energy.

The Twelve Demon Gods’ demonic forces fueled Qi Tian City’s demonic sea; recruiting one into Qi Tian City created a void in demonic reserves.

To counter that, simply draw in a fresh Demon God to replenish it!

Regarding sourcing Demon God-tier demonic energy...

With a mental command, demonic power blazed from Li Che’s eyes.

To date, every outburst of Demon Race demonic forces stemmed from the [Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons] Dao Fruit.

Heavenly Crane Demon God, Night Bat Demon God...

Li Che’s figure blended into the warped expanse, becoming a whirling maelstrom of demonic might.

It spun twice!

This marked the Second Transformation of Demon Immortal!

Boom——

Li Che’s essence shifted into that of a savage Great Demon.

Thick demonic haze cloaked his front, while dreadful demonic power rocketed heavenward.

The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit shuddered, weaving countless demonic streams behind him into a colossal Demon Elephant coiled by a Sacred Dragon!

He raised the Yin-Yang Demon Blade, which exhaled demonic wisps from its vents nonstop.

Li Che offered a soft grin.

In demonic form, he splayed his fingers, dropping a slab of Star Spirit Wood; the Demon Blade whirled, etching it complete in a breath.

An adorable elephant visage clamped onto his features via his spread digits.

A fresh soul enters the Underworld...

The Underworld shelters a demon now.

Concerning Diting.
