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

"When humans and dragons interbreed, creating offspring that cross species, the result is either mediocrity or a monstrosity..."

"Ji Haihui can hardly be called a monstrosity."

A tremor passed through Nan Lihuo's heart.

Indeed, the four sons of Ji Moli were the real monsters; Ji Haihui... seemed more like a compromise.

A faint smile surfaced on Jiao Shaoqiu's withered, tree bark-like face: "However, I promise you, once we return to the Authentic Divine Sect, I'll introduce Xi Xi to the Sect Master's wife..."

Upon hearing this, Nan Lihuo's eyes immediately brightened.

The old ginger is indeed spicier.

...

...

Whoosh whoosh—

A great wind rose, clearing the skies.

Today, it was rare to have neither rain nor snow.

Li Che returned to his small courtyard in Falling Flower Alley.

He methodically completed his daily cultivation. In the yard, the six Fairy in the Painting clones were already able to decently execute the Combined Strike Technique.

Of course, this Combined Strike Technique didn't seem to be very useful at the moment.

Wait until Li Che's cultivation improved, and his Fairy in the Painting clones could draw a thousand Grandmaster clones, then it would be time for this technique to show its fangs.

At that time.

One man, in place of an army!

Li Che sat cross-legged, his Primordial Spirit vibrating within his Brow Niwan, bursting forth with brilliance.

Within the cosmic chessboard, aided by the Summoning God Divine Ability, the divinity of the Fire-Eye Mystical Awe Spirit Monkey Temple God was frenziedly merging into the Divine Base.

The majority had already merged.

The speed was actually faster than anticipated; originally, Li Che had thought that completing the summoning and merging would take around four to five days, but now it seemed that three days should suffice.

Once the merging was complete, it would be like a sketch outlined on wood, making the carving process much easier.

Naturally, Li Che would then be able to step into the Divine Phase Realm in due course.

Taking out a Six Ministries Divine Crystal, Li Che held it in his palm and began to refine and devour the divinity.

The boost from the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit did increase the speed at which Li Che absorbed the Six Ministries Divine Crystal quite a bit, and his other several Divine Bases were also continuously growing stronger.

After completing the divine energy absorption, Li Che slowly opened his eyes, his brow slightly furrowed.

"Where should I summon other Temple Gods from?"

This was indeed a problem that troubled Li Che.

Seven Wheels Divine Base, to carry seven Temple Gods, indeed wasn't an easy matter.

"Just outside Golden Light Prefecture's Mansion City, there is an Eight Extremes Guaiyi Temple, which could be worth a try."

"If it's the Qi Yuan Mysterious Temple, it might also be worth an attempt, but using the Summoning God Divine Ability beyond that... may pose significant danger."

Li Che's gaze intensified.

He thought of that Strange Que being ripped open, as if a terrifying cyan finger that could destroy everything seemed to reach out.

Li Che felt inexplicably oppressed.

What on earth was that cyan finger?

He stopped pondering over these matters.

Leaping into the courtyard, Li Che started practicing martial arts.

Gang-winds arose, and chaotic currents surged!

"Whoosh—!"

"Inhale—!"

Inside the small courtyard.

Li Che's body surged with blood, pushing like quicksilver, and with that terrifying force, a tsunami-like sweep of air burst forth from his pores, stirring the courtyard's air into a relentless whirlwind!

Fists clenched, he performed martial arts moves, propelling slowly at first then with increasing rapidity, until at the apex of speed only trailing shadows of fists were visible, followed by countless echoes of a dragon's chant!

Myriad Transformations Dragon God!

Li Che practiced the forms with abandon, his billowing sleeves almost seemed imbued with fluid, becoming sharp, slicing through the air!

Punches unleashed like a dragon; from the knees, abdomen, arms, elbows... all converging to the peak of the fist, generating a terrifying ripple of force, each breath and movement a punch!

Thud—!

Punches with immense might and hidden traces, as if they were conjured from a dream!

The whirling dragon shadows intertwined, enveloping Li Che's body, as the air piled up like waves, surging tumultuously, exploding ten meters away and causing even the atmosphere of the entire small courtyard to ripple!

"Gulp."

After finishing a set of boxing techniques, Li Che did not skimp and popped a Sixth Order Elixir into his mouth, swallowing it down as if it fell into a deep well.

Waves of heat spilled out from under the skin, causing the temperature in the courtyard to soar suddenly.

"Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Gods... indeed, there's nothing quite like being personally guided by a Martial Saint."

"The Master Realm... achieved."

Li Che's eyes gleamed.

In a clash of Great Grandmasters, apart from the gap in their foundational physiques, there's also the difference in the martial arts they practice.

A Great Grandmaster who has mastered the True Intent of Martial Saint Ultimate Study can easily suppress another Great Grandmaster who has only cultivated the Master's Ultimate Study to the same Gang Count.

Li Che felt somewhat surprised; it all came too easily.

This Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Gods had been mastered by him to the Master Realm so effortlessly.

He spread open his palm, and within it, invisible dragon shadows seemed to be revolving, which was the True Intent of the Myriad Transformations Dragon God's Martial Saint Ultimate Study!

The second Martial Saint Ultimate Study True Intent, achieved!

Li Che's eyes gleamed as if countless dragons were swirling continuously.

"With the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant True Intent used to temper the heart..."

"Which of the liver, spleen, lungs, or kidneys should be tempered with the True Intent of the Ten Thousand Dragons Suppressing the Gods?"

Li Che stood still, his palm grasping the circulating True Intent, his gaze electric.

If one were to interpret according to the Five Elements, wood belongs to the liver, fire to the heart, earth to the spleen, metal to the lungs, and water to the kidneys.

However, the True Intents of the Martial Saint Ultimate Studies Li Che practiced did not neatly fit into these Five Elements relationships, as they were not inherently Five Elements martial arts.

If used to temper the five viscera, it would actually end up imparting the Five Elements properties to the martial arts over time.

For example, with the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant, Li Che chose to temper his heart because it's the source of human life and the origin of the blood pump.

The Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant, merging many Dharma, represents the source of Li Che's growth.
