As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1562: Above Martial Saint Lies Martial Immortal, Walking on Thin Ice I Prefer Backstabbing

"Can my current strength endure the explosion of the Eighth Qimen Immortal Seed?"

Li Che contemplated.

The achievement of the Martial Immortal Golden Body filled Li Che with an inexplicable sense of thrill and expectation.

He likely could, though perhaps not to the point of being completely immune to damage.

Consequently, the consequences were minimal. Li Che could simply shift the impact to his Dominator Avatar, letting it absorb the brunt of the force while his true self remained in a state of perfection.

In all probability, he wouldn't suffer so much as a graze upon his skin.

Lifting his hand, Li Che watched as a subtle golden radiance emanated from his five fingers. Simultaneously, the Niwan at his brow parted, allowing the Star Plucking Pupil to manifest.

As he examined his hand, he saw that beneath the translucent layer of flesh and blood, his golden bones were pulsing with a magnificent, shimmering light!

A terrifying power surged forth from within his finger bones.

Whoosh—!

Li Che thrust his fingers forward like a Divine Spear, the motion so sharp it seemed to carve a void into the very atmosphere.

Crackle...

When Li Che rose from his seat, every muscle and bone in his frame let out a series of thunderous pops.

"Pure Martial cultivation... is the stage above Martial Saint truly the Martial Immortal? This path is entirely distinct from that of a Martial God."

Li Che mused over the realization.

The trajectory of Pure Martial belongs to the Immortal Martial Path.

In contrast, the Martial Path infused with Divinity follows 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!

The difficulty of Immortal Martial, however, was immense.

Even with his vast wealth of resources and the assistance of his Dao Fruit, Li Che had only just managed to set foot on 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 hard to conceive of the level of genius required to navigate such a journey.

Of course, just because Li Che couldn't imagine it didn't mean it was impossible; in the eras of old... there must have been those who blazed a trail beyond Pure Martial.

One must never underestimate the world's hidden legends!

The talent possessed by some individuals simply defies common understanding.

As Li Che stretched, the sheer force of his movement disrupted the air currents. With a flicker of his gaze, the Pure Martial Qi Sea Golden Pool materialized above him instantly.

A Ten Thousand Feet Qi Sea Golden Pond churned with waves as the Martial Arts Immortal Mountain rose from its depths!

Golden light shimmered upon the Immortal Mountain as Li Che’s Martial Dao Will began its ascent!

His will was as unyielding as tempered steel!

Upon the slopes of the Martial Arts Immortal Mountain, his will climbed with steady, firm steps. Within his dantian, the Martial Arts Heavenly Pill was being processed, its potent medicinal essence stimulating his golden Qi-Blood and transforming it into the momentum needed for the climb.

Thanks to the realizations gained during the detonation of the Eight Mystical Doors, Li Che’s ascent felt as though it were blessed by the heavens, each step being remarkably stable. What was once only a third of the way up had now nearly reached the summit.

"I'm just a bit short... my Qi-Blood is insufficient because the effects of the Martial Arts Heavenly Pill have run dry!"

"Even after consuming three Four Imperial Rank Martial Arts Heavenly Pills, I still couldn't reach the Absolute Peak of the mountain!"

Li Che clicked his tongue in disappointment.

Nevertheless, he felt no rush regarding the remaining distance. Even without the help of elixirs, he could rely on steady, personal Cultivation to push through and raise his level!

It would likely take another month or two.

"I didn't realize seven days had already slipped by..."

Time moves swiftly during Cultivation. Li Che hadn't expected that the process of refining his Martial Immortal Golden Body within the study would take so long.

With a single thought, the Heaven and Earth chessboard expanded, instantly blanketing the entirety of Qianyuan Dao City.

After a quick scan revealed no urgent troubles, he withdrew his consciousness.

His wife, Zhang Ya, was out in the courtyard practicing her martial forms alongside the Golden-haired Hou, her movements full of focus.

In its role as Li Che’s servant, the Golden-haired Hou was diligently answering her questions and providing thorough guidance.

Smiling, Li Che flicked his fingers to manifest a Painting Immortal Avatar, which stepped out of the courtyard to manage his external affairs.

Li Che intended to go into seclusion next to break through to the Martial Dao Four Openings realm and officially strive for the Absolute Peak.

However, there were many responsibilities in Qianyuan Dao City that required his presence.

The Painting Immortal Avatar was the perfect solution for this.

It could handle tasks like teaching the Divine Sculpting Skill to the craftsmen at Divine Carving Ridge.

As he watched the Painting Immortal Avatar depart, Li Che triggered the Heaven and Earth chessboard to vibrate, sealing the house once more.

"Hu..."

"Ha..."

With each breath, a flowing light danced within Li Che’s eyes.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv6, 97%), Fairy in the Painting (lv6, 30%)]

The maturity levels of his two most advanced Dao Fruits appeared before him.

Li Che looked them over, feeling no great shock.

He actually felt the progress of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit was a bit slow. During the previous assassination, although he had ended Xie Yushen, the man’s strength wasn't significant enough to provide much maturity.

As for his clash with Zhao Beidou, while it was a resounding victory that left his opponent crippled...

The fact that he hadn't killed him meant there was a massive gap in the maturity points he could have gained.

"Still, it is nearly complete."

Li Che smiled to himself, feeling no pressure.

Zhao Beidou...

Currently broken and hidden within the court army by Xie Yushen, he hadn't left yet.

To Li Che, he was like a ripe Flat Peach hanging from a branch, just waiting to be plucked at the right moment.

The growth of the Fairy in the Painting Dao Fruit was equally expected.

Since Mo City had been destroyed and was now in a state of self-repair, that restoration process was significantly boosting the Dao Fruit’s maturity.

Because of this, the Fairy in the Painting Dao Fruit had seen a major surge!
