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

After reaching LV2, the incarnations drawn by the Fruit of the Heavenly Dao from Within the Painting consumed less Divinity blood, had longer existence times, and were stronger!

Moreover, they had gained a new function, which was that Li Cheʼs consciousness could fully descend upon an incarnation, controlling this Fairy in the Painting incarnation as if it were his own body!

Li Che even began to look forward to what the Prototype of Divine Powers that would awaken when the Fruit of the Heavenly Dao from Within the Painting reached LV3!

When the maturity reached 78%, the Six Ministries Divine Crystal dimmed, unable to extract Divinity from it any longer.

Li Che then gave up on todayʼs Divine Cultivation.

He stretched his body and stood up, his eyes flickering.

”Five days have passed...”

```

”I have also recovered to top condition,” Li Che said. ”Itʼs time to take a walk in the Divine Palace of the Godly Que within the Heavenly King Tower.”

”Letʼs see if the Heavenly King has calmed down yet...”

”And whether heʼll let me touch him.”

Li Che stroked his chin, a smile unconsciously curling up at the corner of his mouth.

The next moment.

Li Cheʼs fingers spread open, his palm empty. But the instant he clenched his fist,

it was as if he had grasped the Thunder Chess Piece that remained within the Divine Palace inside the Godly Que of the Heavenly King Tower.

And with that, Li Cheʼs figure had also shifted to inside this Divine Palace.

Inside the Divine Palace.

Li Che stealthily stood still, pricked up his ears, and listened for any noise.

If the Heavenly King was still in a bad mood,

then Li Che would just come back another day...

”Huh? Itʼs quiet... It seems the Heavenly Kingʼs temper has subsided,” he murmured.

Li Che began to laugh, in an excellent mood.

Standing in the Divine Palace, his black robe rustling without wind, his gaze swept across and settled on the massive Golden Heavenly King Statue.

Among the seven Divine Methods that Li Che cultivated, one was acquired from the Golden Temple, known as the ”Fearless Golden Heavenly King Divine Aspect Method of the Six Bureaus.”

Now, Li Cheʼs Divine Foundation has already reached Perfection and had attained the level of Divine Observation.

As Li Che now looked at the Divine Likeness of the Heavenly King, his mind ran the Method of the Godly Statue, and he felt as if the shape of the Heavenly King was slowly being sketched out in his grinding mill-like Divine Foundation.

Like the craft of woodcarving, first outlining the shape, then cutting into the wood...

After observing for a while, Li Che began to feel his Divine Sense swell, a sensation of dizziness washing over him, indicating a vast consumption of Divine Sense.

The stronger the Statue of the Deity one observes, the greater the Divine Sense consumed.

”In terms of divinity... my talent really is average. Whether itʼs Divine Secret Techniques or Divine Methods, Iʼm no genius,” Li Che shook his head and sighed softly.

It was not like the Martial Path, where his perception was frighteningly strong.

A Martial Saintʼs Ultimate Study could reach Minor Accomplishment in just five days!

In a year, he would likely achieve Major Accomplishment!

If this speed were known, it would scare the Great Grandmaster Xue Dufu to death.

With the act of Observing Divine Likeness concluded,

Li Che exhaled and stood up, leaping and moving freely within the Divine Palace.

Limbering up his body.

During the intervals, he casually inched closer to the exceedingly majestic Golden Heavenly King Statue bearing the Heavenly King Tower, pretending to be nonchalant.

It was as if he was testing the limits of the Golden Heavenly King.

Once those limits were breached, he could act as he pleased.

As he approached within a one-foot range,

Li Cheʼs eyes lit up with joy.

Slowly, he raised his guilty hand.

And pressed it against the massive, wall-like shoe surface of the Heavenly King Statue.

However...

The instant Li Cheʼs palm touched the Heavenly King Statue,

his expression drastically changed.

His Divine Sense swept out.

He immediately sensed that the Mythological Weapon [Face of the Firmament] situated within the Heaven and Earth chessboard of the Dao Fruit of the [Chess Saint]

suddenly began to tremble violently!

Countless strands of golden fur began to spread from that mask, wriggling all around, intertwining on the chessboard...

And inside the Divine Palace,

Li Che quickly came to his senses, feeling something amiss, and abruptly looked up.
