Dong dong dong——
The reverberation of his heartbeat within his chest was quite pronounced.
His eyes underwent a transformation, exhibiting the harmonious interplay of Yin and Yang, with black and white swirling, reminiscent of the heavens and earth ascending and cycling like the celestial bodies.
However, this shift was subtle, as all attention was directed towards Xi Xi's ascension ceremony.
Li Che maintained a composed demeanor, his smile deepening, his spirits soaring.
With Xi Xi poised to assume the mantle of Qian Yuan Divine Sect Master and her own Chess Saint's Dao Fruit having successfully completed its metamorphosis, how could Li Che not be overjoyed?
The evolution of the Chess Saint's Dao Fruit was comprehensible to Li Che.
It had been stalled at the LV7 bottleneck, and with the suppression of the Gathering Immortals Flag, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard proved instrumental, naturally translating this influence into the maturation of the Dao Fruit.
Consequently, the Chess Saint's Dao Fruit advanced to the LV7 tier with effortless grace, as if preordained.
Casting a glance at the ongoing succession ritual, such ceremonies are of immense significance for a grand sect, marking the transfer of leadership and symbolizing an era of transition.
From the era of Lv Taibai, it was now transitioning into the era of Li Nuanxi.
Hence, the ceremonial proceedings were understandably extensive, involving numerous rites and protocols.
Despite being merely eight years old, Xi Xi displayed remarkable maturity. Adorned in opulent attire, she followed Ding Zi's guidance, executing the required rituals with solemnity and dedication.
Li Che's countenance was graced with a tender smile, laced with forbearance, the corners of his lips curved upwards.
Beside him, Zhang Ya held Li Che's arm, her gaze radiant, brimming with elation and pride.
As parents, is not the ultimate desire to witness one's offspring flourish?
A child's success can often bring a greater sense of joy to parents than their own accomplishments.
After observing for a period, Li Che surmised that the ceremony would extend for some time, prompting him to leave his Painting Immortal Avatar behind as he ventured into Mo City Fengdu.
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo——
Ink-hued rain descended from the heavens.
Given Mo City's unscathed condition, the falling ink rain resembled refreshing spring water, bestowing a sense of revitalization and an artistic flair upon the city.
Within Mo City's bounds, in every dwelling, souls diligently engaged in capturing and refining the newly acquired Confining God Energy.
Figures like Grandmaster Huang Mei, Su Leibao, and other souls experienced accelerated cultivation advancements after absorbing this energy.
In principle, the cultivation of souls has no inherent ceiling and could potentially far surpass Li Che's own. However, the procurement of such high-grade Confining God Energy for their consumption and refinement is no trivial matter.
Therefore, while they might attain a degree of power slightly exceeding Li Che's, this is limited unless an individual like Fang Hanshu receives a bestowed inheritance and the Confining God Energy, propelling them towards the Supreme level.
The wind and rain raged, Mo Shan's robe billowed dramatically.
Li Che's dark, robust hair whipped about like strands of black lightning.
The cadence of his heartbeat pounded like a drum in an immense expanse, accompanied by the continuous roar of thunder.
Billowing waves of sound surged like tides; Li Che's eyelids flickered open and shut, his Star Plucking Pupil emanating a brilliant glow, its dual pupils intricately patterned, shimmering with alternating black and white light.
Buzz——
His consciousness trembled, then was enveloped by a powerful vacuum, drawing him into the Dao Tree Space.
Within the familiar confines of the Dao Tree Space, Li Che now hovered in mid-air, his robe billowing, dark hair dancing wildly, gazing towards the Celestial Dome, his mind expanding.
The Martial Immortal Will surged forth, yet even this formidable will felt infinitesimal within the Dao Tree Space, akin to a fleeting entity.
Upon the Dao Tree, numerous Dao Fruits hung suspended, radiating countless shafts of sunlight.
Soon, the scenery gradually shifted.
A celestial panorama unfolded before his eyes, countless points of starlight gleaming as if an infinite cosmos had been compressed into the palm of a hand.
Within that starry expanse, intricately woven lines began to form a chessboard.
Upon this chessboard, a figure clad in white, whiter than freshly fallen snow, sat in solemn contemplation, engaged in play. Each chess piece placed seemed to orbit like a star, a celestial body positioned on the board appearing to shift within the cosmic panorama, adorning it.
Space contorted, interwoven with myriad turbulent flows.
Li Che's gaze remained fixed upon that supreme entity, utilizing stars as game pieces and the universe as its board, silently maneuvering.
His heart quaked with realization, comprehending that this Chess Saint, much like the visions presented by other Dao Fruits, was also the Master of the Dao Fruit.
However, contrasting with the sensations evoked by other Dao Fruit Masters, had this particular Dao Fruit Master transcended into the Ninth Shedding?
If not, why did the impression feel so distinctly different?
Imagining the vast expanse of the starry sky serving as a chessboard, with celestial bodies themselves acting as the pieces! Such an art form was truly magnificent, reaching an unparalleled level of grandeur. This profound vision ignited a burning desire within Li Che's heart. He yearned to one day elevate his own Chess Saint Dao Fruit to such heights, to achieve something equally spectacular, brimming with an overwhelming sense of power and dominance. As Li Che's thoughts swirled with ambition, the ethereal figure engaged in this cosmic game shifted its gaze, casting a glance in his direction. A subtle smile seemed to grace its featureless countenance. Then, with the grace of a deity, the Chess Saint reached out and plucked a star from the heavens. Holding it as if it were a mere chess piece, the figure positioned it upon the celestial board. The chosen star exploded with unimaginable brilliance, growing ever larger in Li Che's astonished eyes. Suddenly, Li Che's entire body shuddered, his eyes widening in sheer disbelief. This was because the chess piece... Radiated with an intense, brilliant blue light!
