As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1560: Martial Dao Will Ascends Ten Thousand Zhang, Pure Martial 100% Forges Martial Immortal Golden Body

The skeleton throughout his frame emitted a series of sharp, crackling pops.
In truth, had Li Che executed Zhao Beidou during this encounter, it might have startled the Imperial Court into a retreat or prompted them to dispatch a fresh Divine Tribulation. A crippled Zhao Beidou was a far more manageable variable than an unknown replacement, was he not?
Sinking into his seat, Li Che began to categorize the night's achievements.
While tangible treasures were few, the intangible benefits were massive. For instance, by transforming Xie Yushen into a Soul Capturing figure, the movements of the court's military were now entirely under his observation. The commander of the court's own Soul Capturing unit had unwittingly become his subordinate.
Furthermore, the mangled Zhao Beidou was now a prime candidate for future Soul Capturing.
Naturally...
The most significant harvest remained...Boom boom boom——!!!
Within Li Che’s chest, the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit erupted with a thunderous roar. Each rhythmic pulse sent a violent shockwave rippling outward.
Bam bam bam——!!!
Li Che’s eyes snapped open as the sound of continuous cracking resonated within his Dantian. Suddenly, the phenomenon of the Ten Thousand Feet Qi Sea Golden Pool manifested!
An Extreme Realm Anomaly!
The Ten Thousand Feet Qi Sea Golden Pool!
Emerging from the center of the Golden Pool, a Martial Arts Mountain pierced the heavens, soaring through the clouds. As if the very heavens had shifted, Li Che found himself standing midway up the mountainside.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Tides of Qi-Blood slammed against the shore with explosive force, conjuring a tempest of crimson waves!
The struggle against the Divine Tribulation, Zhao Beidou, in Mo City had refined and elevated Li Che’s Martial Dao Will. That final, magnificent strike served as the ultimate expression of horizontal refinement in the mortal realm, pushing Li Che’s Martial Dao Will toward a state of extreme sublimation.
The journey through the Four Openings of Martial Arts—the ascent of the mountain—was essentially a process of purifying one's Martial Dao Will. When warriors clash on a narrow path, only the courageous prevail!
The heart settles like a crouching tiger, while the intent soars like a hidden dragon. A will as unyielding as fine steel and Xuan iron!
This was the evolution of Li Che’s Martial Dao Will.
With his black robes snapping in the wind and his hair wild, the spectral form of Li Che’s Martial Dao Will gazed toward the summit and began its ascent.
Boom——!
The entire Martial Arts Mountain trembled with every stride he took. Colossal waves surged from the Qi Sea Golden Pool, crashing against the slopes and reaching for the sky. The mountain itself seemed to grow taller with his progress.
A Ten Thousand Feet Qi Sea matched by a Ten Thousand Feet Martial Arts Mountain! This was the path Li Che had forged.
Boom boom boom——
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit seemed to thrum with delight at Li Che’s newfound realization. Even without the Dao Fruit's enhancement, Li Che’s Martial Arts Talent now eclipsed that of any mortal artist. Thus, following this conflict, he achieved a profound clarity regarding his Martial Dao Will even without the Dao Fruit’s Instant Enlightenment Feedback.
Back in the study, Li Che opened his eyes, his pupils shimmering with radiant gold. Above him, the anomalies flickered—the Martial Arts Mountain and his climbing will.
Rumble...
He could feel the surging Qi-Blood within him, carrying a staggering restorative power. It was as if the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit was mending him from the brink of death, addressing the damage caused by the explosion of the Qimen Immortal Seed. Although his Dominator Avatar had absorbed the brunt of the impact, the Dao Fruit had instinctively provided healing energy... a gesture that moved Li Che despite his stoicism.
This energy was a welcome boon.
Li Che’s gaze intensified as he flicked his wrist. A black chess piece warped and expanded, manifesting into the Soul Capturing figure of Gu Changqing.
Observing Li Che’s current state, Gu Changqing bowed with deep reverence, presenting a black jade vessel. "Lord... the Four Imperial Supreme Heavenly Martial Pill has been successfully crafted. There are three pills in total. Please, my Lord, accept them!"
Gu Changqing spoke with a mixture of awe and fervor. Having witnessed the clash with Zhao Beidou as a Soul Capturing participant, he knew the terrifying power of the white Tribulation Fire. A single strike had nearly obliterated him. Yet his Lord had managed to severely wound such a monster. Had he not been restrained, Li Che might have ended him right there. To serve such a powerful master was a supreme honor.
"Well done," Li Che remarked.
Professional experts were indeed indispensable. But then, a thought struck him. Normally, a Divine Pill Saint refining a Four Imperial rank pill would trigger a Heavenly Pill Tribulation. Why had Gu Changqing’s refining process been so quiet?
Li Che questioned him, "Where is the tribulation lightning?"
Gu Changqing paused, scratching his head. Apparently, a calamity had begun to form, but since he was technically deceased in the eyes of the world, the Tribulation Thunder deemed its target already destroyed and simply vanished.
A wry smile touched Gu Changqing’s face; such luck was unheard of. Li Che laughed heartily. Recruiting such talent was a masterstroke—refining Elixirs without the headache of lightning strikes saved immense effort.
Focusing his mind, Li Che spread his fingers and crushed the jade bottle. Three Supreme Heavenly Martial Pills hovered in the air, radiating majestic energy. The thick aroma of the Elixir swirled through the room like a physical mist.
Opening his mouth, he drew the three pills in; they turned into streaks of golden light and vanished down his throat. A heavy gulping sound followed.
Three Golden Cores were consumed! His powerful stomach walls ground them down instantly, releasing a torrent of medicinal power that pushed his Qi-Blood to new heights. Upon the Martial Arts Mountain, Li Che took further steps upward.
Simultaneously, he began converting the restorative energy from the Dragon Elephant Vajra. Under this dual onslaught of power, his physical form grew increasingly formidable.
Time became an afterthought. Whether it was a few seconds or an eternity, the world around him went silent. He watched only as his body, bathed in healing light, underwent a miraculous change.
Pure Martial Purity (97%)... 98%... 99%...
Boom——!!!
Finally, a resonant sound like the tolling of an ancient bell echoed out—as if a master martial artist had struck a temple bell at the peak of a frozen mountain in defiance of ancient gods. The sound boomed in Li Che’s ears.
He threw his eyes open. Every one of his 36,000 pores erupted with brilliant golden radiance, resembling a rising sun. It was the forging of a Divine Buddha’s Golden Body.
