As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1606 - 424: Emperor Xi Xi’s Divine Talisman Mushroom Formation—Let the Kids Fight, We Old Folks Shouldn’t Interfere
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Jin Taixui spun around without a word, dashing right after them at once, as Zhou Peng let out a startled cry, cramming a couple of steaming buns past his lips to settle his nerves, before bolting in pursuit.
...
...
Guangling Dao City.
Up on the walls, echoes of space ripping apart boomed out, while fearsome energies clashed and surged wildly, some clad in rattling armor, others bursting with vibrant power.
Their eyes fixed on the horizon, where five massive golden mushroom clouds bloomed spectacularly!
"What... is happening?"
"Looks like Half-Saint Gu Chuan is heading that way in pursuit!"
"Is Half-Saint Gu Chuan fighting someone? Do we rush over to help?"
As soon as the question hung in the air.
From the city walls, members of Guangling Dao City's Temple Control Bureau, joined by powerhouses from the Divine Guard Army, shot off in a flash.
Beyond that.
At the mountain entrance of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect.
Strands of vapor twisted upward into the Cloud Dome, as a colossal pill furnace rocketed toward the Cloud Dome, its belly featuring a cover that flipped open like a washing machine's drum door.
A plump, ruddy face thrust out from within that pill furnace, the flesh nearly overflowing, slick grease dripping along the furnace's edge, while those chubby rosy eyes gleamed with blinding intensity.
"Is that... the path the Human Medicine fled toward?"
"Gu Chuan chased after it, and it looks like... he ran into trouble."
"No surprise the Human Medicine gave off that overpowering scent... the moment I stepped into the city, I lost all restraint."
"Too bad I have to wrap up this batch of Human Pills first—eight hundred virgins in there!"
The form in the pill furnace let out a low chuckle.
Next, the cover sealed shut, and the whole pill furnace glowed a scorching red-gold amid the blaze, resembling a red-hot branding tool.
After that, it streaked off like a shooting star, trailing a lengthy streak of radiance, apparently shattering space into bits as it flew by.
...
...
Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Disciple City, Elder Court.
Above the yard, the Heaven and Earth chessboard spun slowly, blocking off the energy from within the room.
Li Che clutched a Three Pure Ones Rank Divine Crystal, steadily drawing out its divine essence, which made the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit—stuck without further ripening since he drained that Three Pure Ones Rank Divine Weapon Gathering Immortal Yellow Flag—quiver as it advanced once more.
The boost in ripeness wasn't huge, but with the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit already so close to full, even absorbing the Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal yielded less progress than expected.
[Dao Fruit: Immaculate Heart (lv6,87%)]
Inside the Inner Scene of the Energy Center, the Heaven and Earth Transformation Spirit True Ape Divine Embryo let out mighty roars, hungrily pulling in the Pure Heart's divine essence, and now at the second god shift of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bright True Ape, it eagerly consumed the power.
Building up the Divine Embryo involves steady gathering over time.
"Calling on Gods can swiftly boost Divine Cultivation..."
"My Divine Embryos get tougher by swallowing summoned Temple Gods... yet this way feels like emptying the pond just for a few fish—it's not sustainable."
Li Che's gaze shifted faintly.
The Mysterious Temple lingers in the mortal realm, spreading divinity across all nooks of Heaven and Earth.
It dragged the human world into a Divine Cultivation age, accelerating human progress in cultivation at a breakneck pace.
The old Martial Path took ages to master, letting Martial Saints claim the world's peak spots.
But with divinity added in, the Divine Martial Dao rose up, and Divine Martial Martial Gods aren't some rare tale anymore.
Bringing forth one Temple God works fine, but too many could harm the human world's Divine Cultivation overall.
Worse, it might stir up fury from those horrifying entities in the Strange Que.
Remember when we called on Lord Dog to smash the Golden Heavenly King Temple God—that raging blue hand that showed up, its awful presence forced even Lord Dog to hold back, fearing he'd be spotted.
So, while calling gods helps ramp up Divine Embryo Cultivation fast, Li Che favors a steadier path instead.
As he worked on the Divine Crystal, he kept a close watch on Xi Xi's doings.
Spotting Xi Xi deploy the Divine Talisman Array alongside the Guanyin Lotus Bullet to form an Emperor Mushroom Formation like a chain.
Li Che himself couldn't hide his astonishment.
"Emperor Xi Xi’s Mushroom Formation? That's impressive... "
"Linking it with a Divine Talisman as the core, and using the Guanyin Lotus Bullets as array anchors, the blast from those five detonating Guanyin Lotus Bullets surpasses what five separate blasts could do!"
"This force... it might match the simultaneous burst of seven Lotus Bullets! It squeezes every bit of strength from just five!"
Even as Xi Xi's dad, Li Che had to admire his girl's clever trick.
Divine Talisman Mechanism Array?
This kid sure picked up real skills from training under Great Elder Fang Hanshu!
"This kid... could she actually take down a Martial Saint at age seven?"
Li Che's face lit up with emotion.
Drawing from Li Che's vast know-how in clashing with Martial Saints, the Emperor Mushroom Formation's blast could badly wound a First Level Martial Saint, and with some fortune... slay one outright.
A thread of Li Che's awareness gathered subtly.
His daughter's big breakthrough moment.
As her father, he had to see it unfold with his own eyes.
...
...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Fierce winds roared without end.
Xi Xi rode the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, drawing in heavy breaths, gazing in a daze at the five mushroom clouds down below as they gradually crumbled and faded.
Trailing her, the Eight-Armed Three-Faced Hell Lotus Unbreakable Divine Image took shape, and after a full year of nonstop training, the Divine Image had grown at a solid clip.
