Li Che witnesses a vision of a blue star, his homeland, before the scene explodes. He contemplates a connection between his past and present lives. Preparing for his next tribulation, he enters the 'Primordial Qiankun Battle' space, which severely damages his Martial Immortal Golden Body but also strengthens it. He notes the increase in his Dao Tribulation powers and plans to integrate them with his Immortal Seeds.

"I have finally elevated the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant, this martial art I created myself, to the Immortal Seed level and integrated the power of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Yan Dao Tribulation... its power has greatly increased."

A flicker of thought crossed Li Che’s mind.

The Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant was his self-created ultimate technique, a synthesis of various martial arts interwoven with his comprehension of the Martial Dao. However, after elevating it to the Immortal Seed Martial Arts tier, Li Che went on to refine it further. It was now known as the [Immortal Seed All-Transforming Dragon Elephant Furnace], a martial art born from the fusion of the Dragon Elephant Furnace with the Dao Guide of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit. Its efficacy had surged dramatically. While previous bursts of power were formidable, they lacked focus; now, with the formation of the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant Furnace, these attacks were far more concentrated and potent.

"The power of this Qiankun Battle Dao Tribulation... it involves space. Perhaps I can integrate it with the Six Desires Pure Yang Sword Technique. These six Divine Seed Martial Arts could form a spatial sword array..."

"I need to research how to accomplish this properly."

"However, incorporating spatial attacks is no trivial matter; it might just become my ultimate killing move."

Li Che couldn’t help but dedicate himself to the task, intending to delve into its intricacies.

When it came to Sword Dao, Li Che possessed some knowledge, though not extensive. The Six Desires Pure Yang Sword Technique held considerable might, but currently, it remained merely a Divine Seed Martial Art. Elevating it to the Immortal Seed Martial Arts level was a significant challenge. Nevertheless, it wasn't an insurmountable obstacle; he possessed a cheat. By leveraging the Instant Enlightenment Feedback of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, he could potentially overcome this hurdle with dedicated effort. Furthermore, Li Che had access to complete Immortal Martial Arts, obtained from the inheritance of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven [Combat Victory Divine Technique], which greatly assisted in the advancement and study of Immortal Seed Martial Arts. Thus, Li Che’s future objective was crystal clear: to complete the accumulation of the Nine Tribulations and ascend to the pinnacle of Human Immortal!

Hoo—

Li Che rose from the Dominator City, stretching his arms wide. A resonant symphony of terrifying muscles and bones erupted, and a vast surge of Qi-Blood ascended towards the heavens, permeating the very fabric of existence!

Although he wasn't treading the conventional path of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, the potency of each Dao Tribulation he encountered surpassed that of the Three Calamities, ensuring Li Che’s overall combat prowess would be superior!

"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

Li Che’s focus intensified.

A sense of unease lingered regarding the vision he had glimpsed earlier. He felt an urgent need to bolster his cultivation and break into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to support Qi-tian, particularly as Qi-tian ventured into that realm to buy crucial time for the Prison Lotus Camp and Xi Xi...

Repaying kindness and avenging grievances were Li Che’s guiding principles. This moral compass had been his steadfast companion since his arrival in this world, navigating treacherous paths.

Standing atop the Dominator Tower, the fiery aura surrounding Li Che gradually subsided, leaving him enveloped in deep contemplation.

"The Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit has now evolved to level LV7... perhaps the visions I've perceived will be clearer now?"

Li Che couldn’t help but ponder the images reflected by the Thunder Chess Piece placed upon Qi-tian. He distinctly recalled the words of Zhou Heng, the Soul Capturer, stating that if the Temple God were to reignite the Divine Fire, both form and spirit would be annihilated – a fate he desperately wished to avert.

With a mental command, the Thunder Chess Piece pulsed. Li Che’s consciousness descended into the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, gazing upwards.

Soon, the scene materialized, significantly sharper than before, extending its reach beyond the mortal realm and into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Within the vision, Li Che observed the Heavenly Old Monkey, grievously wounded and bleeding, seeking a secluded spot to tend to his injuries. Abruptly, the scene began to convulse violently, as if cataclysmic Divine Power was surging, almost breaching the veil of the vision through the Thunder Chess Piece, sending a bone-chilling dread through him. In the unfolding scene… radiant Buddha Light coalesced, forming a colossal hand that shattered the void with each passing inch. It pressed downwards, striking with immense force amidst billowing smoke and dust. The Heavenly Old Monkey let out a fierce cry, unleashing countless staff shadows before transforming into a beam of light and fleeing. Simultaneously, the vision within the Thunder Chess Piece dissolved.

Li Che’s embroidered golden lotus robes billowed in the wind, his gaze sharp, and he exhaled a prolonged breath.

"Immortal Gods..."

Buzz—

With a focused intention.

Leaving Mo City Fengdu behind.

He returned once more to Taibai Peak.

"Dang—"

"Dang—!!"

An endless tolling of the bell echoed as Ding Zi struck the ancient bell of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect. Meanwhile, Lv Taibai escorted a somberly attired Xi Xi onto the grand platform of Taibai Hall.

Li Che observed Xi Xi, who was dressed with solemnity, appearing like a miniature adult.

He lifted his gaze toward the heavens, witnessing the romantic convergence and formation of the cloud canopy. A gentle breeze accompanied the resonating bell chimes, cultivating a profound sense of peace.

But where does true tranquility reside in the passage of time...

It is merely that some individuals bear their burdens with immense weight as they press onward.

Recalling the Heavenly Old Monkey residing in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Li Che let out a soft breath.

...

...

Within the inner city of Qitian.

Suddenly, a lone figure, tattered and disheveled, streaked across the skies above Qitian Inner City. It was the ragged Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng's immediate return sent ripples through the normally placid Qitian Inner City.

Bang—

A wave of palpable terror surged, and the Dao Divine Patterns interwoven, instantly imposing stillness upon the city’s previous unrest.

The ragged appearance of Zhou Heng was witnessed by numerous individuals.

Zhou Heng was no pushover; he was a Venerable of the Second Calamity and Third Tribulation. While he had not yet attained the Half-step Supreme level, he represented the apex of combat prowess beneath the Supreme realm.

All the formidable factions within Qitian Inner City were present, their gazes fixed, as if sensing something extraordinary.

However, out of deference to Supreme Xuanzhen, they refrained from probing any further.

Supreme Xuanzhen’s brow furrowed. Clenching his fist, he instantly manifested entwining Tao Divine Patterns, enveloping Zhou Heng and drawing him near.

"Speak... what is the situation?"

Supreme Xuanzhen inquired with a frigid tone.
