As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1562 - 415: Above Martial Saint Lies Martial Immortal, Walking on Thin Ice I Prefer Backstabbing [Monthly Ticket Request]
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
"Am I capable of enduring the blast of the Eighth Qimen Immortal Seed now?"
Li Che contemplated silently.
The achievement of the Martial Immortal Golden Body filled Li Che with an inexplicable sense of thrill and potential.
It seemed likely, though perhaps not to the point of being completely immune to damage.
Ultimately, the impact was negligible. Li Che could simply shift any resulting trauma to the Dominator Avatar, letting it absorb the brunt of the force while he remained in a pristine state.
In all probability, not even a blemish would mark his skin.
Li Che lifted his hand, his five fingers shimmering with a subtle golden radiance, while the Niwan at his brow parted to reveal the Star Plucking Pupil.
As he inspected his hand, it appeared as though golden bones were pulsing with a brilliant light beneath his translucent flesh and blood!
A terrifying strength surged from the bones of his fingers.
Whoosh—!
Li Che thrust his fingers forward like a Divine Spear, seemingly carving a void into the very air.
Crackle...
As Li Che rose from his seat, his muscles and skeletal structure emitted a series of explosive pops.
"Pure Martial Cultivation... is the stage above the Martial Saint truly the Martial Immortal? It stands completely apart from the Martial God."
Li Che reflected on this.
The path of Pure Martial belongs to the Immortal Martial Path.
Conversely, the Martial Path that incorporates Divinity belongs to the Divine Martial Path.
Is there a difference in rank between these two?
The Divine Martial Path is likely more accessible, yet the Immortal Martial Path represents the most untainted way of the warrior!
However, the Immortal Martial way is excessively grueling.
Even with Li Che’s vast hoard of resources and the assistance of the Dao Fruit, he had only just managed to tread 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 difficult to fathom the level of genius required to walk such a road.
Of course, just because Li Che couldn't imagine it didn't mean such people never existed; in the ancient era... surely there were those who carved a new trail above Pure Martial.
One must never look down upon the world's greatest heroes!
The talent of certain individuals defies common understanding.
Li Che stretched his limbs, the sheer force of his movement disrupting the air. His eyes flashed, and the Pure Martial Qi Sea Golden Pool manifested instantly above him.
Within the Ten Thousand Feet Qi Sea Golden Pond, waves rolled as the Martial Arts Immortal Mountain rose high!
The Immortal Mountain glittered with golden light as Li Che’s Martial Dao Will continued to ascend!
His will was as unyielding as tempered steel!
Upon that Martial Arts Immortal Mountain, his will climbed with steady, firm steps. Inside his body, the Martial Arts Heavenly Pill was being processed, its immense medicinal power stimulating his golden Qi-Blood and turning it into the fuel necessary for his will to scale the peak.
Due to the realizations gained while triggering the Eight Mystical Doors, Li Che’s ascent felt as if guided by the heavens, with every step being remarkably stable. Where he had once only covered a third of the path, he was now nearing the summit.
"I am just a bit short... my Qi-Blood is lacking because the effects of the Martial Arts Heavenly Pill have faded!"
"Even the potency of three Four Imperial Rank Martial Arts Heavenly Pills wasn't enough to reach the Absolute Peak!"
Li Che clicked his tongue in surprise.
Still, he felt no urgency regarding the remaining distance. Even without the help of elixirs, he could rely on steady, personal Cultivation to push forward and raise his level!
It would likely take another month or two.
"Seven days have slipped by without me noticing..."
Time moves quickly during Cultivation. Li Che hadn't expected that refining the Martial Immortal Golden Body within his 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 confirmed there were no urgent problems, he withdrew his consciousness.
His wife, Zhang Ya, was in the courtyard practicing her martial arts alongside the Golden-haired Hou, her movements full of focus.
Acting as Li Che’s servant, the Golden-haired Hou was patiently answering Zhang Ya’s questions and providing meticulous instruction.
Li Che smiled and flicked his fingers, manifesting a Painting Immortal Avatar to step out and manage his external affairs.
Li Che intended to go back into seclusion to enter the Martial Dao Four Openings realm and make his final push for the Absolute Peak.
Nevertheless, there were many tasks in Qianyuan Dao City that required his attention.
The Painting Immortal Avatar was the perfect solution.
It could handle duties like teaching the Divine Sculpting Skill to the craftsmen at Divine Carving Ridge.
As he watched the Painting Immortal Avatar depart, Li Che moved his mind, causing the Heaven and Earth chessboard to vibrate and seal the room once more.
"Hu..."
"Ha..."
With a deep breath, a shimmering light flickered in 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 felt the progress of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit was actually a bit sluggish. During the assassination, although he had ended Xie Yushen, the man’s power wasn't great enough to provide significant maturity.
While his clash with Zhao Beidou had been a massive triumph that left the opponent broken...
Because he hadn't actually killed him, the maturity gained was far less than what a killing blow would have yielded.
"Regardless, it is almost finished."
Li Che smiled calmly.
Zhao Beidou...
Currently crippled and sheltered within the court army by Xie Yushen, he hadn't fled yet.
This meant he was like a ripe peach hanging from a branch, waiting for Li Che to harvest him at his leisure.
The growth of the Fairy in the Painting Dao Fruit was also expected.
Since Mo City had been damaged and was now in a state of self-repair, that restoration process was significantly boosting the Dao Fruit’s maturity.
Consequently, the Fairy in the Painting Dao Fruit had seen a major surge!
