The Emperor loses the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner and wrongly accuses Su Da, who reveals herself to be a white fox and dismisses his suspicions. She suggests the Black Sumeru monks might be responsible and offers to help the Emperor obtain the Gathering Immortal Yellow Flag, mentioning the impending resurrection of the Third Prince Temple God and Li Che's involvement. Meanwhile, Li Che returns to Taibai Peak, reflecting on a recent dangerous encounter. His Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit undergoes a violent transformation, culminating in the Fifth Transformation, which he hopes will allow him to glimpse the trials of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Dong dong dong——

The heartbeat within his chest thundered with remarkable intensity.

His eyes underwent a profound alteration, Yin and Yang merging, black and white swirling, mirroring the upheaval of the heavens and earth, the celestial dance of sun and moon.

Yet, this metamorphosis was exceedingly subtle, with all attention riveted upon Xi Xi’s ascension ceremony.

Li Che maintained a placid expression, but an increasingly profound smile graced his lips, his spirits soaring.

With Xi Xi appointed as the new Divine Master of Qian Yuan Sect, and her own Chess Saint Dao Fruit achieving its transformation, how could Li Che not be overjoyed?

The reason behind the Chess Saint Dao Fruit’s transformation was something Li Che readily grasped.

It had encountered a bottleneck at LV7, and when the Gathering Immortals Flag was brought to bear, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard played a crucial role, naturally channeling this effect into the Dao Fruit’s maturation.

Consequently, the Chess Saint Dao Fruit advanced seamlessly to LV7, as if destiny had willed it.

A glance towards the ongoing ascension ceremony revealed its immense significance for a major sect, particularly concerning the transfer of the sect master’s mantle, signifying a new era for the organization.

Transitioning from the era of Lv Taibai, it moved into the era of Li Nuanxi.

Thus, the ceremonial proceedings were naturally extensive, encompassing numerous rituals and formalities.

Despite being merely eight years old, Xi Xi displayed considerable maturity. Clad in opulent attire, she dutifully followed Ding Zi’s guidance, executing the rites with solemnity and genuine earnestness.

Li Che’s face was adorned with a gentle, indulgent smile, the corners of his mouth turned upward.

Beside him, Zhang Ya held Li Che’s arm, her eyes alight with joy and pride.

As parents, is there a greater aspiration than witnessing their child’s success?

The achievements of a child can often bring parents more happiness than their own accomplishments.

After observing for some time, Li Che realized the ceremony would be lengthy. He therefore left his Painting Immortal Avatar behind and ventured into Mo City Fengdu.

Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo——

Ink-black rain cascaded from the heavens.

Because Mo City remained pristine and unharmed, the descending ink-rain felt akin to gentle spring water, bestowing a refreshing sensation and an artistic allure upon the city.

Within Mo City, every household was engaged in capturing and refining the newly acquired Confining God Energy.

Souls such as Grandmaster Huang Mei and Su Leibao, after absorbing the Confining God Energy, experienced rapid advancements in their cultivation.

In principle, the cultivation of souls knows no upper limit and could even surpass Li Che considerably. However, obtaining such potent Confining God Energy for them to consume and refine is no simple feat.

Thus, while they might achieve a power slightly exceeding Li Che’s, it remains constrained unless an individual like Fang Hanshu receives both an endowment inheritance and the Confining God Energy, potentially propelling them toward the Supreme level.

The wind howled, and Mo Shan’s robes whipped about dramatically.

Li Che’s dark, robust hair streamed behind him like a bolt of black lightning.

The sound of his heartbeat resonated like a drum in an immense, vast space, accompanied by the continuous roar of thunder.

Successive waves of sound surged like tides; Li Che’s eyes opened and closed, the Star Plucking Pupil emitting brilliant rays, its dual pupils intricately interwoven with lines, flickering with monochrome light.

Buzz——

His mind trembled, then was drawn into a vast vortex, entering the Dao Tree Space.

Within the familiar Dao Tree Space, Li Che now hovered in mid-air, his robes billowing, dark hair wildly dancing, gazing upward at the Celestial Dome, his consciousness expanding.

The Martial Immortal Will surged forth, yet even it felt insignificant within this Dao Tree Space, like a fleeting wisp of existence.

Upon the Dao Tree, countless Dao Fruits hung suspended, emanating innumerable beams of sunlight.

Soon, the scene gradually shifted.

A starry expanse unfolded before his vision, countless points of starlight shimmering as if an infinite universe were compressed within his palm.

Within that celestial vista, interwoven lines slowly coalesced into the form of a chessboard.

Upon this grand chessboard, a figure draped in white, whiter than the driven snow, sat in solemn contemplation, engaged in a game. Each chess piece placed seemed to orbit like a star, and a star positioned on the board appeared to shift within the vastness of the starry sky, adorning its expanse.

Space warped and buckled, interwoven with countless cosmic disturbances.

Li Che’s gaze remained fixed upon this supreme entity, utilizing the very stars as its pieces and the universe as its board, quietly executing its moves.

His heart quivered, realizing that this Chess Saint, much like the visions displayed by his other Dao Fruits, was indeed the Master of the Dao Fruit.

However, compared to the impression afforded by the Masters of his other Dao Fruits, had this particular Dao Fruit Master ventured into the Ninth Shedding?

If not, why did it feel so profoundly distinct?

To employ the starry sky as a chessboard and the stars themselves as pieces!

This manifestation was truly on an unparalleled level!

A burning ambition to one day achieve something equally magnificent and assert his dominance, thus elevating his Chess Saint Dao Fruit, surged within Li Che's heart. As these thoughts raced through Li Che's mind, the celestial chess player, whose form stretched across the cosmos, shifted an eyebrow and cast a downward glance. A subtle smile seemed to play upon that inscrutable visage. Following this, the Chess Saint, with the grace of a deity positioning a piece on the board, plucked a star from the heavens. He handled it as if it were a mere chess piece, and in a flash, placed it. This chess piece then exploded with boundless radiance, growing larger and larger within Li Che's field of vision. Abruptly--- Li Che's entire frame shuddered, his eyes widening in sheer disbelief. The reason for his astonishment was that the chess piece. It had erupted with a spectacular azure luminescence!
