Xi Xi turned eight years old, manifesting her ninth Dao Fruit, the Space-Time Golden Wheel, after a year venturing beyond the sect amid battles, slaughter, and the sorrow of companions' deaths. Li Che obtained the radiant fruit, its power briefly slowing falling snowflakes and evoking control over time and space. Though thrilled by its potential, shattering space failed to mature the nascent level-one Dao Fruit, leaving him to study its basic abilities.

Upon a quick examination, Li Che truly sensed a touch of astonishment.

The core power of the Space-Time Golden Wheel splits into two main aspects—one for time, the other for space.

Through the 'moment' power, once a domain is established, time freezes for a full second inside that domain.

Naturally, cultivators with robust strength and iron will can resist the freeze effect, shrinking that second down to a tenth, a hundredth, or even a ten-thousandth—making it basically useless.

Yet, anyone whose willpower falls short of Li Che's remains fully bound by it.

“Hah, yet another trick perfect for dominating the weak.” Li Che chuckled, in high spirits, since unlike the straightforward basics of certain Dao Fruits, this one's foundational ability boasts an incredibly high ceiling once enhanced!

Right now, it halts time for one second. Could it eventually pause it for a minute, a day, even a year?

Though it doesn't grant total command over time—lacking reversal or speedup—it's still an impressive skill.

Regarding the space-related core power, it's far simpler: pure space adaptation.

Li Che tested it immediately, his body merging effortlessly into the void like a fish gliding through water—not tearing space apart, but fusing with it to dart across instantly.

He could even roam freely amid the shattered emptiness where space had collapsed.

Evidently, his body had transformed into one perfectly suited for spatial realms.

The result pleased him well, even if it offered little edge in true battles and somewhat mirrored the Thunder Chess Piece's teleportation.

Still, Li Che remained unconcerned.

In fact, he felt a spark of anticipation.

Space-Time Golden Wheel…

Adapting to space, commanding space…

One day, might he cross vast spatial distances?

Li Che's thoughts drifted inevitably to the world of his previous life, pondering if he could pierce space-time barriers and go back.

Should the Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit mature further, could he truly shatter those space-time walls and revisit the dream-haunted realm?

Li Che believed the legends bridging his two existences shared a hidden link—a fateful tie woven through space-time!

At heart, an urge stirred within Li Che to explore this mystery.

With that in mind, he devoted greater focus to the Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit, gentle and obedient like a dutiful daughter.

After delving deeper into the fresh Dao Fruit, Li Che brimmed with satisfaction.

A mere flicker of his mind.

[Name: Li Che]

[Bond: Li Nuanxi (daughter)]

[Progress: School-age (eight years old)]

[Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (lv7, 20%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv7, 60%), Pure Heart (LV7, 20%), Chess Saint (LV6, 95%), Fairy in the Painting (lv7, 10%), Lei-Ci Dao Body (lv6, 90%), Dream Master (lv4, 15%), Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (lv6, 90%), Space-Time Golden Wheel (lv1, 0%)]

Once the Great Sage Equalling Heaven wrapped up matters in the Earth Deceit Que.

Li Che lingered in Qi Tian City.

He awaited Fang Hanshu's completion of Grandmaster Cheng Fangxin's inheritance, and in the meantime, he never slacked on cultivation, diving fully into relentless practice.

Dao Fruit maturity saw minor gains, nothing dramatic, for without outside pushes, their growth crawls at a snail's pace.

This stemmed from Li Che spreading his efforts across martial arts, divine soul refinement, and various cultivation paths.

Li Che knew well that with more Dao Fruits piling up, his time and energy stayed finite—at least until his longevity goal crystallized—so he needed to prioritize those boosting his power.

Beyond Dao Fruit maturation, of course.

Over that year's toil, his Dao Tribulations progressed most gratifyingly.

[Dao Tribulation: Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame (40%), Primordial Sky-cutting Storm (10%), Primordial Heart Cleansing Stream (10%), Primordial Withered and Flourishing Branch (5%)]

All four Primordial Dao Tribulations advanced by different margins!

Fusing them into Qimen Immortal Seed Martial Arts unleashed even greater might from Immortal Seed Martial Arts.

Primordial Immortal Seed—that's what Li Che dubbed his refined martial art.

A name dripping with grandeur.

With a grin, Li Che's intent stirred, vanishing from the yard to rematerialize in Mo City Fengdu.

His five fingers curled tight, summoning the Three-point double-edged knife straight into his grasp amid resounding clangs, blades flaring brilliantly in hordes.

Then Li Che launched into the Combat Divine Technique!

Fighting Secret Technique!

Right now, Li Che has merely grasped the beginner stage of the Fighting Secret Technique.

This secret technique goes beyond mere stick methods; it's a combat-slaughter art that dramatically boosts the Martial Immortal's willpower.

To Li Che, this secret technique feels perfectly suited, or more precisely, it synergizes flawlessly with Pure Martial Immortal!

After training in martial arts for some time, Li Che shifted to practicing Immortal Seed Martial Arts.

A mere flick of his fingers summoned the Sea Flipping Nine Infants and Strange Power Zhu Huai, who erupted into savage roars as the two supreme ferocious beasts rampaged through Mo City Fengdu.

Over the past year, they've grown used to being repeatedly slain by their lord.

With their overwhelming might, these two beasts serve as ideal, no-pressure sparring foes for Li Che.

Once the heaven-shaking, earth-quaking clash ended—riddling Mo City with countless fissures—Li Che finished his training session for the day.

Departing the Bull Demon Courtyard, he made his way to a grand, expansive courtyard where his wife Zhang Ya trained with fierce intensity.

Li Qingshan, Nurse Momo, and the others had also been relocated from Qianyuan Taoist City.

Thanks to the Flat Peach, Nurse Momo's vitality surged dramatically, casting off years of frailty, and she began cultivating as well—though with scant results.
