As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1602 - 423: Dao Fruit, Fivefold Transformation Tribulation, Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame—Emperor Xi Xi at Age 7 Wants to Slay a Martial Saint...

Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Li Che's Dao Fruit achieved its fifth transformation at level 7, awakening the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame as a Dao Tribulation that demanded conquest for mastery. Drawn into a desolate, shattered realm under heaven's crushing might, he unleashed his Martial Immortal Golden Body against a plummeting demon elephant of purple flames, only to be obliterated in an instant clash. Returning to Mo City's rainy streets, Li Che reflected on the tribulation's overwhelming ferocity, his resolve burning to harness its disaster-born power despite the setback.

...

Li Che rose to his feet, his gaze shining with sharp intensity: "The Martial Immortal Golden Body received a minor enhancement, moreover, the Victory Over Heaven Dao Domain's reach now extends to fifty feet, thanks to the shift in cultivation..."

"Winning with weakness against strength, where is the thrill of overwhelming the weak with strength..."

Li Che whispered to himself.

Cultivation truly forms the core foundation.

When someone possesses mighty cultivation to crush the feeble... why choose the peril of triumphing over the mighty through mere weakness?

His five fingers tightened into a fist.

Within his palm, the Thunder Chess Piece flared with brilliant light.

In the next instant, Li Che vanished completely.

Zhao Beidou had turned into a compliant soul prisoner, and at this point, inside the Imperial Court’s forces, Li Che had taken over three generals!

Xie Yushen, Grandmaster Huang Mei, along with Zhao Beidou—these three generals now belonged fully to Li Che.

The strength required to shatter the Imperial Court’s mountain and temple offensive appeared close to fully shifting it under Li’s banner.

Divine Tribulation... one remains, namely Gu Qianchi from the Bashu Sword Pavilion!

On top of that, the formidable Old Dragon God looms large.

"After I grasp the might of the Dao Tribulation, the moment will nearly arrive... at that point, I can confront the Old Dragon God. The level of one disaster and two tribulations demands respect, even with preparations against ally betrayals, descendant schemes, and deadly toxins, it cannot be taken lightly."

Li Che whispered to himself.

The Old Dragon God from the Dragon God Clan, this three-thousand-year-old beast, certainly warrants Li Che’s most elaborate scheme.

Yet for now, the deadly toxin [Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill] remains unrefined, so Li Che feels no rush.

Neither the toxin nor the Dao Tribulation power has been perfected...

Acting without 95 percent assurance turns it into a high-stakes wager.

Li Che rejects any chance of self-poisoning entirely!

Buzz—

Li Che reappeared in the study of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

The Heaven and Earth chessboard stretched wide across the heavens.

His five fingers unfurled, allowing the Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal, seized from Zhao Beidou’s Qiankun small space, to settle into Li Che’s grasp.

However, right as Li Che prepared to refine his divinity.

A faint quiver ran through the Heaven and Earth chessboard.

The link in his heart, attuned to his daughter’s circumstances there, sent back a signal.

Li Che gripped the Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal tightly, his eyes narrowing and widening slowly, while golden radiance exploded fiercely.

His sight fixed on the scene projected upon the Heaven and Earth chessboard.

...

...

Dark clouds churn wildly, blizzard winds howl fiercely!

Hand-sized snowflakes float softly downward from the overcast sky.

A heavy blanket of snow covers the earth.

Suddenly, a form burst forth from the drifts, Xi Xi donning a small bull calf mask, who shoved it upward onto her head, exposing cheeks rosy from the chill.

Xi Xi narrowed her eyes, a blend of anger and resolve flashing in her bright, spirited gaze.

From behind, the powdery snow split apart, as the remaining trio surfaced as well.

They were none other than Jin Taixui, Zhou Peng, and Yun E.

"Xi Xi... this isn’t working, our trio’s cultivation is far too low, it’s holding you back, that Martial Saint Gu Chuan tracks us relentlessly, all because of us."

Yun E clutched her rabbit close, gazing at Xi Xi with eyes full of remorse.

Zhou Peng and Jin Taixui grew quiet too.

Unlike Xi Xi, they lacked the ability to hide their aura so well that even a Martial Saint couldn’t sense it.

Xi Xi breathed out warm air, huffing softly from her nostrils.

"Truth is, it’s on me, I got careless, back when we entered Guangling Dao City, we ought to have set down Flying Thunder Chess Pieces on the route, so escaping would’ve been simple."

Guilt weighed on Xi Xi, prompting her to examine her own actions.

Had it been Master Niu Niu, wouldn’t he have foreseen this ages ago?

"No point dwelling on it anymore..."

"A Martial Saint..."

Xi Xi narrowed her gaze, a spark of murderous intent rising deep within.

The pursuit by this Martial Saint Gu Chuan from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect wasn’t the sole issue, especially since upon recognizing Xi Xi’s identity, he hunted them with frenzied persistence, refusing to stop.

But Xi Xi’s desire to eliminate Gu Chuan stemmed from a deeper cause.

Namely, Gu Chuan served as the key protector of the "Ascending Immortal Pavilion!"

Given that Gu Chuan emerged from the Ascending Immortal Pavilion, he must know of the atrocities committed inside—draining young girls’ essence blood to nourish the Temple God and craft Immortal Ascension Pills.

Still, he not only shielded it but allowed it to continue!

How could such a being be called human?

If not human, why hesitate to slay?

"He won’t stop chasing us, and since fleeing isn’t an option, we’ll turn around and take him down!"

Xi Xi balled her small fist, placed hands on hips, and thrust out her tiny tummy.

Fire blazed in her eyes, for Emperor Xi Xi... never tolerated being wronged!

Zhou Peng drew in a sharp breath, quickly cramming three buns into his mouth to steady himself.

Emperor Xi Xi... truly intends to slay a Martial Saint?

This was a Martial Saint, after all!

Though Xi Xi’s cultivation shone brightly, having claimed the Chulong honor at the Flat Peach Victory Meeting!

Attempting to fell a Martial Saint still felt like a stretch, didn’t it?

But Xi Xi offered no words, her foot striking the ground, propelling her entire body swiftly onward through the snow.

Her chubby little hands drew forth Mystic Yellow Talisman Paper after Mystic Yellow Talisman Paper from the Qiankun Jade; as the heir to Fairy in the Painting, Xi Xi’s gift for Divine Talismans proved exceptional, confirmed by the Sect Master’s Wife!

Every Divine Talisman crafted by the Sect Master’s Wife could be wielded by Xi Xi.

Setting up Divine Talismans, hiding traps...

Even young children harbor fierce tempers!

Zhou Peng, Yun E, and Jin Taixui stared in stunned silence.

They observed Xi Xi, her rear end protruding as she worked in the snow...

In that instant, an aura of bold courage truly radiated from Xi Xi.
