As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 2269 - 564: Dao Fruit Molting, Gaining Divine Skills of Life and Death Netherworld; Holy City’s Dou Tian Palace Finally Senses Qi Tian’s Aura

After several consecutive uses of Flying Star Teleportation, they quickly arrived at Mystic Entrance Mountain.

As Li Che’s cultivation reached the Realm of Union, his Mystical Immortal Will became much stronger, and the teleportations consumed hardly any energy.

Mystic Entrance Mountain, within the Ancient City.

Li Che used the Thunder Chess Piece on the Dominator Avatar to achieve teleportation and exchange positions.

"Wow! Is this Mystic Entrance Mountain? Dad... even managed to get a place to reside alone in the palace?"

Xi Xi was incredibly surprised, holding onto Little Su Da’s two tails, curiously looking around the palace.

"Hey? Where did this little one come from? Immortal Hand Cang Che is now a talented Immortal Hand among the young emperor’s Immortal Hand team, highly valued by the young emperor. Even Immortal Zhao Yuan plans to accept Immortal Hand Cang Che as a disciple after this Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference!"

While Xi Xi was amazed,

Cang Yuan walked in from outside the main hall.

When he saw Xi Xi, wearing a cute Little Bull Demon Mask, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, knowing Li Che’s special identity, he was not too astonished, merely assuming that she was a child from Li Che’s village brought to broaden her horizons.

Of course, Cang Yuan didn’t even think of associating Xi Xi with the Daughter of Prison Lotus.

How could the Daughter of Prison Lotus possibly appear under the young emperor’s nose at such a critical moment?

It was unimaginable to him.

Even Young Emperor Ji Shaohao wouldn’t think of it.

When Li Che brought Xi Xi and Cang Yuan to meet Ji Shaohao, Ji Shaohao was slightly taken aback upon seeing Xi Xi.

"A junior from the village, quite talented in divine sculpting. I specially asked Cang Yuan to bring her back, hoping this Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference might greatly inspire and cultivate her."

"It’s of utmost importance to train the juniors from the village."

Ji Shaohao raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on Xi Xi, yet sensing nothing unusual.

Immortal Zhao Yuan, however, laughed heartily: "Well said!"

"For a village to rise, besides relying on us to uphold it, the children must also step forward and become pillars."

"A village’s rank progression has always required the efforts of one generation after another!"

Immortal Zhao Yuan’s gaze fell on Xi Xi, smiling merrily.

"Little girl, want to show grandpa a piece of your sculpting?"

Xi Xi tilted her head, her bright eyes shining under the Little Bull Demon Mask.

"Sure!"

Xi Xi didn’t feel the least bit afraid.

She took out her engraving knife and casually found a piece of wood to start carving on the spot.

Indeed, Xi Xi’s skill was quite adept. Although Li Che hadn’t taught her much, thanks to his proximity and the bond with the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, Xi Xi’s divine sculpting skills really had some proficiency.

Probably at the level of a Divine Sculpture Half-Saint!

"Hahahaha! As expected of the girl favored by Immortal Hand Cang Che, she’s really impressive! To have the skill of a Divine Sculpture Half-Saint at her age, a promising future as an Immortal Hand lies ahead!"

Immortal Zhao Yuan laughed heartily, thinking that if Canglan Village could produce two Divine Sculpture Immortal Hands, succeeding in reaching the Three Pure Ancient Village in the future would be no more than child’s play.

Ji Shaohao also gave Xi Xi another glance. A Divine Sculpture Half-Saint at her age was indeed quite commendable.

He began contemplating how to recruit Cang Che and Xi Xi in the future.

"Alright, we’ve stayed long enough here at Mystic Entrance Mountain; it’s time to head to Taixu Heaven."

"Perfect opportunity to meet those divine sculpting Immortal Hands from the Deceit Demon Cave and the Black Sumeru ahead of time, to gauge their level of skill."

Ji Shaohao said.

This Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference is essentially the stage for the divine sculpting Immortal Hands from the Three Great Gods Camps.

Li Che naturally had no objections to this.

Ji Shaohao then took out his Divine Weapon Ancient Bell, tossing it into the air, letting it float.

"Dong——!"

The sound of the bell echoed, its waves spreading like tides.

The many divine sculpting Immortal Hands, who were still cultivating within the ancient village, opened their eyes, sensed the call, and promptly gathered.

At the center of the palace group, on the teleportation platform of Mystic Entrance Mountain.

Statues of divine officers stood, each over a hundred zhang tall, with varying postures, enshrouded in the swirling white mist, dreamlike and ethereal.

Li Che, holding Xi Xi’s hand, accompanied Ji Shaohao and Immortal Zhao Yuan to the teleportation platform.

The team of ten divine sculpting Immortal Hands recruited by Ji Shaohao, along with another dozen or so who weren’t chosen by him, but still qualified through selection, stood on the teleportation platform.

Hum——

A Nirvana King appeared at once, opening its eyes, tearing through the void amidst the white mist, the Nirvana Life and Death Path descending.

A tremendous surge of divine energy poured madly into the teleportation platform.

The teleportation array was instantly activated!

Buzz buzz buzz——

Ji Shaohao took a deep breath, and even he couldn’t help showing a touch of excitement on his face.

Heaven-reaching Divine Pill!

He longed for this Divine Pill so much!

If he could obtain the Heaven-reaching Divine Pill, he would likely transform to the Immortal level before the eighth Divine Tide ends!

Not just him, but Fu Shaosi and Shi Shaokya were probably after this Divine Pill as well.

In addition, the Young Emperors from the Three Great and Two Holy Ancient Villages of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths should also fully compete for this Divine Pill.

Boom—

The teleportation platform is activated, and the power of the Space Path bursts forth.

The forces of teleportation surge forth.

Before teleporting, Li Che threw down a Thunder Chess Piece on the teleportation platform, leaving hidden moves everywhere. This is almost Li Che’s Chess Saint instinct.

The teleportation did not last long.

Because from Xuanxiao Heaven to Taisu Heaven, there aren’t many domain barriers to cross.

Boom—!!!

The space channel is resplendent in seven colors, with streams of light constantly passing by, flashing swiftly like a fleeting horse.

Soon, they reached the domain barrier between Xuanxiao Heaven and Taisu Heaven!

A fortress seemed to sit in the void, with countless space turbulence washing over the ancient fortress!

Above the fortress, it seemed a pair of vast eyes opened, with myriad cosmic stars rotating and changing within.

Li Che’s heart twitched slightly, and the Heaven and Earth chessboard expanded, fully concealing Xi Xi’s presence.

The will of an Immortal God swept through!

Between each domain barrier, there resides an Immortal God guarding it.

"Is this... the Lord Immortal?"

Li Che asked.

Ji Shaohao turned his head and smiled: "Of course not, the Lord Immortal is indeed our Dark Heavenly Court’s true supreme Heavenly Immortal. This one is the Dark Heavenly Court’s Central Heavenly Purple Star Immortal, an Earth Immortal."

Upon hearing this, Li Che suddenly paid his respects respectfully, but felt quite heavy-hearted about the overall strength of the Dark Heavenly Court.

Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, their numbers are indeed quite numerous.

Both in the Dark Heavenly Court, and the Deceit Demon Cave and Black Sumeru.

In terms of combat power at the Immortal level, they indeed crush the Prison Lotus side.

No wonder, the Three Great Gods Camps basically have control over the Prison Lotus, wanting to break the deadlock is indeed too difficult.

Within the fortress, the immortal gaze projecting down was extremely sharp and terrifying.

Whether it’s Young Emperor Ji Shaohao or Immortal Zhao Yuan, neither dared to slacken, facing Immortality, paid their respects with courtesy.

Buzz—

As they passed through the fortress unhindered.

The void twisted.

Everyone directly ended their spatial travel, appearing on the teleportation platform on a Mystic Entrance Mountain of Taisu Heaven.

"Wow—!!!"

Just as the spatial travel ended, that intense dizziness had just disappeared.

Xi Xi couldn’t help but exclaim "Wow" out loud.

The teleportation platform, with silhouettes shimmering, continuously interweaving spatial fluctuations from the Space Path, as figures transmitted from various places dot the platform.

This teleportation platform, even Li Che couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle.

There are a total of eighty-one colossal statues standing around, and the diameter of the platform reaches more than a hundred miles.

However, Xi Xi’s gasp of surprise wasn’t for the teleportation platform.

Because the teleportation platform is atop the peak of the Mystic Entrance Mountain.

Xi Xi opened her eyes and looked, seeing across the Mystic Entrance Mountain, the towering and immense city that resembles a gigantic three-legged cauldron!

"This city is named Dou Tian Palace, it is the venue for the Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference hosted by the Lord Immortal, and one of the top three Holy Cities in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Even the Divine Sculpture Immortal Zhao Yuan, facing the colossal Dou Tian Palace City, couldn’t help but reveal a shocked emotion.

At this moment.

Li Che looked at that Dou Tian Palace City, and within his chest, the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit exploded with an intense reaction.

Within the Inner Scene of the Energy Center, the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart was beating intensely.

Thump thump thump—

Invisible ripples spread, making Li Che’s emotions unable to remain calm.

Within this Dou Tian Palace City, it seems there is something attracting the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit!

Besides...

Li Che’s heart slightly shone.

Subsequently, the Heaven and Earth chessboard expanded.

Clang clang—

It seemed as if the sound of chains colliding was heard by the ear.

Beneath an enormous Heaven-Reaching Pillar, countless chains were entwined, binding a figure upon it.

Countless Heavenly Thunder roared, Divine Fire surged, burning and chopping at that figure.

Thunder Chess Piece bounced, in the image reflected by the Heaven and Earth chessboard.

Li Che’s gaze focused, slowly exhaling a deep breath heavy like sandalwood.

He finally sensed...

The aura of Equalling Heaven!
