As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1616: 426: Becoming the Family’s Pillar in Place of Father, Incinerating the Five Realms’ King Yan Ascends as Ghost Emperor
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
“I have to figure out how to bolster Xi Xi’s physique…”
“That Indestructible Lotus Hell Sky Silk and the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring… they absolutely need to go to Xi Xi.”
“The Indestructible Lotus Hell Sky Silk sits at the Corpse God Cult’s main base… while the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring rests in the Dragon God Lineage’s ancestral grounds, right on Ancestor Dragon Island…”
Li Che narrowed his eyes, a sudden realization striking him.
“Ancestor Dragon Island…”
“Hold on, with the Dragon God Lineage preparing to emerge from the seas, doesn’t that signal the Dragon God Clan’s intent to forsake Ancestor Dragon Island?”
“What catastrophe struck Ancestor Dragon Island to force the Dragon God Lineage into abandoning it entirely?”
A subtle crease formed on his brow.
Questions swirling in his thoughts, he considered calling forth the Dragon God Crown Prince for answers, yet the prince remained by the Old Dragon God’s side at present.
Such a hasty summons could invite unwanted scrutiny and risk unveiling his secrets.
“Never mind… there’s no urgency right now.”
“Once I transform the Old Dragon God into a Soul Capturing entity, the truth will come to light.”
A glint flashed in Li Che’s eyes.
Before long.
Qi Tian City stands on the verge of unveiling its gates, and the Equal Heaven Temple’s legacy is poised to emerge, drawing countless mighty figures eager to seize this monumental fortune at the edge of Inner Mysterious Que and Earth Deceit Que!
Masters from the Great Divine Sects, alongside powerhouses from the Corpse God Cult, Western Regions Buddha Land, Wushen Mountain, and other factions—Divine Tribulation and Martial God levels—will converge on Qi Tian City in droves.
The imperial court, concealing its own Divine Tribulation and Martial God powerhouses, will dispatch them as well.
This awakening of Qi Tian City might erupt into an epic showdown among the pinnacle experts of the human realm!
Veteran Martial Gods and Divine Tribulation Cultivators, teetering on the brink of their limits, will stake everything in one final bid.
Much like that yielding Old Dragon God who ventured into Great Vista’s domain.
Thus, Li Che anticipated the Old Dragon’s unrest.
He aimed to swiftly wrap up the chaos in Qianyuan Taoist City before heading to Qi Tian City himself.
“Rushing invites errors, exposing weaknesses…”
Li Che’s gaze shimmered.
“Hoo—”
“Sigh—”
Seated steadily in the study, Li Che drew in and released breaths, his body’s divinity surging with growing intensity.
The Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal clutched in his grasp poured forth divinity without cease, and as the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart took shape, his absorption rate from the crystal accelerated remarkably.
With a mere flicker of intent, golden mist materialized, hovering in his vision.
[Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (lv6, 40%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv7, 0%), Pure Heart (LV6, 88%), Chess Saint (LV6, 45%), Fairy in the Painting (lv6, 35%), Thunder Magnetic Dao Body (lv5, 80%), Dream Master (lv3, 95%), Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (lv5, 0%)]
Across the Dao Tree, the ripeness of each Dao Fruit gradually unveiled itself to him.
His pupils mirrored the lush, abundant fruits, and Li Che felt the edges of his lips lift in a subtle smile.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit’s ascent to Level 7 drew his lingering stare.
Shifting his focus, it settled at last on the Thunder Magnetic Dao Body Dao Fruit, prompting a faint furrow in his brow.
“Regrettably, even at the martial arts mountain’s summit, no Tribulation Thunder stirred, thanks to having endured the Extreme Realm Tribulation Thunder before.”
“Still, when the Heavenly Gate parts, it might finally summon the Tribulation Thunder.”
No need to hurry.
Li Che’s eyes drifted next to the Dream Master Dao Fruit, elusive as its dreamlike essence, barely registering in his awareness.
He rarely pushed this Dao Fruit deliberately.
Typically, via the Dream Master Dao Fruit, he wove dreamscapes for Xi Xi’s training, letting her hone her skills in slumber to propel her along the Martial Path.
For example, her Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant technique surged forward under dream guidance.
“So near now… this Dao Fruit nears completion too; at lv4, upon evolution, it’ll unleash the Dream Butterfly Divine Ability, potentially reuniting me with Da Xixi’s form…”
A spark ignited in Li Che’s eyes.
He resolved to carve out time to ripen this Dao Fruit further.
Regarding the last, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, its progression blazed at an incredible pace, especially since gathering Demon Energy for Li Che had become effortless.
“As for this Old Dragon God, a true Divine Tribulation Realm Dragon God, his Demon Energy dwarfs that of the Dragon God Crown Prince who took in the Dragon Emperor Pearl!”
“I wonder if it’ll propel the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor to lv6…”
Anticipation stirred within his chest.
“It has to be from that Old Dragon!”
Li Che let out a heavy breath; his next major cultivation leap hinged tightly on the Old Dragon God.
He stowed the Divine Crystal and ceased his session.
True cultivation demands equilibrium between effort and ease; exiting the study, Li Che spotted the Golden-haired Hou dutifully overseeing Zhang Ya’s practice.
Zhang Ya drenched in sweat, her form rigid, Qi-Blood swirling fiercely, the Nine-thousand-year Peach’s infusion yielding tremendous gains.
Though she hadn’t completely assimilated the peach’s essence yet.
Even so, harboring a Nine Thousand-year-old Peach inside equated to a direct uplift in her aptitude, hastening her cultivation strides.
She refused to lag behind.
Naturally, the heart of it all…
She yearned to match her husband’s stride, to bring forth their children!
To gift Xi Xi with siblings!
Delicate snowflakes drifted lazily, blanketing the courtyard in serene hush.
In the days that followed, Li Che avoided burying himself entirely in the study for training, venturing out from time to time.
Drilling forms, sipping tea, admiring the snowfall, tracking Emperor Xi Xi’s exploits across the martial realm…
Life brimmed with contentment for Li Che.
Yet he knew well that these serene, rewarding moments neared their close.
With Qi Tian City’s opening looming, the Old Dragon God, restless beyond doubt, would unleash the court’s forces to shatter peaks and topple sects.
