Feilei City, Inner City.
Independent Workshop Courtyard.
Li Che sat cross-legged.
The cold air condensed the moisture in the sky, and snowflakes drifted down, landing on his shoulders and silently melting away.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the air in the courtyard swirled violently.
Bones throughout his body collided and roared, his blood and qi surged like a mountain flood, producing a dull rumble beneath his skin!
"Nine Blood Change, true Blood Change Great Perfection..."
Li Che's eyes glowed, and the breath he exhaled was sharp like a knife.
"And, my Internal Energy..."
Li Che raised his hand, and a warm current surged in his palm, causing four black lotuses to bloom on his arm.
"Prison Lotus Suppressing Ghosts Internal Energy... Fourth Heaven!"
The powerful Internal Energy surged like a wave, merging with his blood and qi, greatly enhancing his strength.
Nine Blood Change, combined with Fourth Heaven Internal Energy...
Even without activating [Dragon-Elephant Vajra], Li Che's physical strength alone could now unleash power close to Meridian Unblocking. If he activated Dragon-Elephant Vajra, his strength would reach the peak of Qi Pulse in the Meridian Unblocking realm!
The Meridian Unblocking realm is divided into several sub-realms: Qi Pulse, Mystic Pulse, and Divine Pulse.
A Qi Pulse cultivator can engage in battle with a Cultivation as a Lamp practitioner.
If one reaches the Mystic Pulse realm, their physical strength becomes even more formidable, capable of fighting even a Nurturing Nature Like a Stream divine cultivator.
As for a Divine Pulse martial artist, they are at the pinnacle of the Meridian Unblocking realm, with their physical strength and blood qi as strong as refined steel. Each breath they take is like a raging dragon, and they can nourish their spirit with their blood qi, contending with Nurturing Nature Like a River divine cultivators.
Martial artists above the Divine Pulse realm are called Grandmasters, who are extremely rare!
Even most divine cultivators, though they use divine power to assist in physical cultivation and can accelerate their progress, generally only reach the Qi Pulse level of early Meridian Unblocking. A few can reach Mystic Pulse, but those at the Divine Pulse level are exceedingly rare.
Even divine cultivators, who enjoy the rapid advancement brought by divine power, find it difficult to settle down and refine their bodies to the Divine Pulse level, which requires decades of arduous practice and cultivation.
"Besides blood qi and Internal Energy..."
Li Che's eyes flickered, reflecting his greatest gain over the past half year.
His fingers clenched, and divine power surged from his palm, accompanied by wailing cries that lingered with every movement.
Wrathful Cry Suppressing Ghosts!
Li Che had completely mastered the Si Family's [Nine Luminaries Wrathful Cry Ghost Suppressing Cultivation Record] and successfully reached the Cultivation as a Lamp realm!
Most importantly, Li Che discovered a small function of the [Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit].
It could, like the Dragon-Elephant Vajra, conceal and hide the divine power he had cultivated, making him appear as an ordinary person who had never practiced divine power.
"That Divine Essence Fragment from the old master of the Si Family... If I fully refine it, it could help me advance to the Nurturing Nature Like a River realm."
"However, even with the assistance of the [Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit], it will still take some time."
Li Che pondered, summarizing his current overall strength.
The improvement was undoubtedly enormous!
Now, if he encountered Si Mu Bai again, he wouldn't need to ambush him; he could directly crush him!
He took a long breath, and the wind howled.
After organizing his cultivation, Li Che lifted his head, and snowflakes drifted down from the sky, landing on his face and melting, feeling very cold.
"Today... Xixi is three years old."
He murmured.
Bang, bang, bang!
Suddenly, the world fell silent.
A fierce tremor came from Li Che's chest, and the Dao Fruits [Divine Artisan], [Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit], and [Dragon-Elephant Vajra] began to pulsate.
Familiar scenes slowly emerged before his eyes!
The vast and deep earth, a towering treasure tree rose into the clouds, its leaves shimmering with light!
A seven-colored fruit, radiating a rainbow of light, projected Xixi's growth over the past year.
Black hair fluttered in the wind.
Li Che's eyes gleamed.
Unconsciously...
Another year had passed.
A year of protection and anticipation, finally bearing fruit today.
Xixi is three years old, and the fourth Dao Fruit...
Here it comes!
...
[Your daughter is three years old, lively and intelligent, safe and sound, and you have obtained the Dao Fruit "Chess Sage"]
...
The prompt slowly appeared before his eyes, interwoven with light.
The fourth Dao Fruit!
The fourth Dao Fruit, following [Divine Artisan], [Dragon-Elephant Vajra], and [Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit], Li Che was incredibly excited.
Even though he already had three Dao Fruits, he never had enough of them.
Each Dao Fruit could bring him great help, whether in life, martial arts, or divine power.
As for what the fourth Dao Fruit would do, he had no idea.
Thus, it gave Li Che a thrilling sense of opening a blind box.
However, when the name of the fourth Dao Fruit appeared, Li Che was somewhat stunned.
"Chess... Chess Sage?"
Li Che's brows furrowed, and the joy on his face seemed to freeze.
He, Li Che...
Wasn't very good at chess.
He knew how to play Go, but for other types of chess, he only knew the rules and was largely clueless.
[Chess Sage (Dao Fruit): Heaven and earth are like a chessboard, divine power condenses into pieces, the central point begins, and the pieces fall as you wish]
His mind wavered, and the introduction of the [Chess Sage] Dao Fruit quietly appeared before his eyes.
"Heaven and earth are like a chessboard, divine power condenses into... pieces?"
"The central point begins, and the pieces fall as you wish?"
Li Che felt a bit lost, as if even the introduction didn't quite explain the specific principles.
Indeed, anything related to chess is somewhat mystical.
However, Li Che wasn't entirely clueless: "Divine power condenses into pieces..."
Li Che's mind stirred, and the [Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit] pulsed, instantly releasing pure white divine power that swirled around his palm.
The divine power from the [Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit] had no special characteristics, only pure and flawless divine power.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
The divine power swirled and slowly... formed a white chess piece in front of Li Che.
It glowed with a pure white light, floating in Li Che's palm.
Li Che's eyes filled with curiosity, and he raised his hand to pinch the piece.
Instantly!
Like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, ripples spread out.
Li Che felt his spiritual perception suddenly heightened, and in an instant, half of Feilei City was perfectly replicated in his spiritual perception, like a high-definition map.
The vertical and horizontal lines intersected, forming a chessboard that enveloped half of Feilei City!
Li Che's eyes narrowed...
This scene was like having a satellite view, overlooking half the city!
Although the people within the city were blurry, if he was willing to spend divine power, he could get clearer feedback.
"You call this... Chess Sage?"
"Is it a high-tech Chess Sage?"
Li Che was truly surprised by the effect of this fourth Dao Fruit...
He looked at the piece in his hand.
Suddenly, he flicked his finger, and the pure divine power piece, condensed by the [Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit], shot out of the courtyard for dozens of meters, landing at the courtyard gate.
The [Chess Sage] Dao Fruit trembled.
The next moment...
Li Che felt his vision blur, and when it cleared, he found himself... moved from the center of the courtyard to the position where the piece was floating at the gate.
"The pieces fall as you wish..."
Li Che stood quietly at the courtyard gate, snowflakes falling from the sky, torn apart by an invisible divine power around him.
He played with the divine power piece on his finger.
A smile crept onto his lips.
"Chess Sage, what is a Chess Sage... controlling everything in the game, that is the sage of chess, within the chessboard, everything is within my sight."
"Heaven and earth are the chessboard, divine power condenses into pieces..."
If Xixi carried this piece...
"My heart wanders, the pieces fall as I wish."
Wouldn't that mean, if Xixi was within his chessboard perception range, any safety threat...
As long as he wanted, he could instantly teleport to Xixi's side at the fastest speed?
From now on...
Danger, eliminate danger; if there are bullies... deal with them!
He no longer had to worry about Xixi's safety!
