As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1526 - 407: Fairy in the Painting - Fourth Transformation, Dao Guide - Tenth Ferocious Ink, Immortal Seed Qilin Opens Eight Gates [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
"These secrets were sent back by our Heavenly Pill Divine Sect Grandmaster after his expedition into the Mysterious Que."
Li Che’s pupils contracted as his heart skipped a beat; this was information he had never encountered before.
"The Mysterious Temples, ranging from the Ten Cities Rank up to the Five Elders Rank, are all located within the Outer Mysterious Que..."
"In contrast, the Four Royal Mysterious Temples and the Three Pure Bizarre Temples are situated within the Inner Mysterious Que. Generally, those of us from the Great Divine Sects and the cultivators of this era refer to the Inner Mysterious Que as the true depths of the Mysterious Que..."
"The Dao Yun Divine Crystal can only be produced within the Three Pure Bizarre Temples, which means... it is exclusively found in the depths of the Mysterious Que, specifically within the Inner Mysterious Que."
Gu Changqing spoke with great earnestness, desperate to prove his continued utility.
Li Che gave a nod, signaling for him to proceed: "Then what can you tell me about the Earth Deceit Que and the Heavenly Mysterious Que..."
Gu Changqing moistened his dry lips: "The Grandmaster did not leave many details, but he provided a brief characterization..."
"Before they were transformed into the Mysterious Que, the Earth Deceit Que and the Heavenly Mysterious Que... were known as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
Hmm?!
A jolt of shock ran through Li Che’s heart.
He felt a vague sense of realization, as if he had grasped a crucial thread.
However, the thought was like a slippery eel, sliding through his fingers before he could pin it down.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths...
"Explain this to me in detail."
Li Che commanded, his brow furrowing.
Gu Changqing could only shake his head helplessly: "Lord, the Grandmaster merely mentioned the name of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Mysterious Que. This is because... he has never personally set foot within them."
"That is the absolute core of the Mysterious Que. Rumors suggest... it traces back to the very beginning of heaven and earth..."
Upon hearing this, Li Che stopped pressing Gu Changqing.
If the man didn't know, he didn't know; there was no point in further interrogation.
Li Che nodded and drifted into deep thought.
What did it mean for something to trace back to the origin of heaven and earth?
Furthermore, if his goal was to acquire a [Dao Yun Divine Crystal], was a journey into the Inner Mysterious Que mandatory?
"Do you have a Dao Yun Divine Crystal inside your Qiankun Jade?"
Li Che turned his gaze toward Gu Changqing and inquired.
Gu Changqing’s Qiankun Jade was already in Li Che's possession. He had also collected the Qiankun Jades belonging to Zhao Chunqiu and Bai Buxi, the latter of whom had perished at the hands of Fang Hanshu.
It was fortunate that these rings were of superior quality; otherwise, they would have been destroyed in battle. Li Che hadn't even needed to personally retrieve them; the Soul Capturers had gathered the Qiankun Jades while they were busy harvesting flesh and blood.
The Soul Capturers understood their Lord’s habits perfectly.
Gu Changqing offered a pained smile and shook his head: "Lord, the Dao Yun Divine Crystal... is incredibly rare. It is of vital importance to Divine Tribulation Cultivators. To achieve a Breakthrough Realm, a Divine Tribulation Cultivator must not only perceive and capture Dao Yun personally but also rely on these crystals, as they are the only ones capable of siphoning the Dao Yun stored within."
"Furthermore, even those at the Half-step Divine Tribulation... lack the ability to use them."
Li Che felt a wave of disappointment at these words.
Yet, a new light quickly flickered in his eyes...
If Divine Tribulation Cultivators are the ones who use Dao Yun Divine Crystals...
Does that imply that Gu Qianchi and Zhao Beidou might have them in their possession?
The Qiankun Jades of such powerful Divine Tribulation Cultivators...
One could only imagine the treasures hidden within!
Li Che did not let his mind wander for long, quickly regaining his focus.
"Hoo—"
"Inhale—"
As he regulated his breathing, the environment around him fell into a profound silence.
In this instant, every distraction in Li Che’s mind evaporated. All that remained was the rhythmic sound of the rainfall in Mo City and the splashing of the Mo Yu in his ears.
"It is time."
Boom—!!!
With a single thought, his consciousness plunged into the Dao Tree Space.
Since this was not the first time Li Che had experienced a Transformation of a Level 6 Dao Fruit to the Fourth Stage, he was well-acquainted with the sensations.
Inside the Dao Tree Space, tempests and waves crashed together. The Dao Fruit began to shed its outer layer, slowly reshaping itself into a decorative painting scroll.
As the scroll began to unfurl, a scene of savage, ruthless intensity erupted from within it.
The sheer force caused the surrounding space to ripple and shatter with explosive violence!
Boom—!!!
Li Che’s consciousness was forcibly ejected from the Dao Tree Space. He blinked, his mental state stabilized by the presence of fifteen vibrant Divine Fetuses despite the heavy psychic tremor.
He felt a faint sensation as if the entirety of Mo City was trembling violently.
The Soul Capturers had long since retreated, vanishing into the shadows to give Li Che the necessary space.
A brilliant white light manifested before him, displaying the details of the Dao Fruit’s evolution.
[Dao Fruit Level 6, Fourth Transformation, Divine Skills (Bai Yujing) Ascension, Dao Guide (Ten Fierce Brushwork)]
Boom—!!!
The notifications flooded his vision, the blinding light organizing itself into rows of pulsating text.
Instinctively, Li Che looked up toward the heavens above Mo City.
The dark, ink-like rain abruptly ceased.
In its place, a colossal scroll appeared, stretching across the entire sky of the city.
Rustle—Rustle—
Thick ink surged like a mighty, flowing river.
As the scroll began to open, Li Che felt his Divinity surge uncontrollably. It was being pulled from him, converted into a river of black ink that roared as it collided with the celestial scroll.
With a soft rustling sound...
The scroll opened just enough to reveal a single corner.
Li Che stared upward, his eyes widening as he glimpsed the depiction of a terrifying beast. Though the image was blurry, it radiated an overwhelming aura of ferocity.
[Dao Guide (Ten Fierce Brushwork): The Dao Fruit sheds its skin, utilizing ink to channel the Dao and Divinity to paint; ten fierce beasts that rule the heavens.]
The True Words of the Dao Guide slowly manifested before Li Che’s eyes.
The sight caused Li Che’s heart to pound against his ribs.
The Ten Fierce Beasts Map!
This was the union of ink painting and the Divine...
The ink used was the ink of Divinity, and the Divine being merged... was the Soul Capturer!
Furthermore... it required the Divinity of a demon!
This meant that if he could capture a demon beast that corresponded to the map, he might actually wield the power of the ten fierce beasts!
Li Che’s eyes sparkled with curiosity; he wondered just how much power those ten fierce beasts truly held...
