As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1672: 438: As a Soul Capturing God, You're Teaching Me? Gathering Qi Fortune to Form the Twelve-Petal Mountain and River Golden Lotus [Monthly Ticket]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
“I will definitely not let my lord down!”
“However, my lord… the higher the rank of the poison pill, the greater the cultivation required… I need to enhance my cultivation!”
“The next ranked Ninth Heaven Poison Pill [Three-legged Golden Toad Pendant], with my current cultivation at the realm of One Calamity and Two Tribulations, I can indeed refine it… But the next one, ranked eighth [Thousand Bone Centipede Powder], requires me to reach the realm of One Disaster and Three Tribulations, otherwise, I will be poisoned to death…”
Gu Yinxuan explained.
Upon hearing those words, Li Che shifted his gaze toward him.
Throughout Mo City, the shrill cries of Gu Yangxuan rang out as he was torn apart and consumed...
“Proceed with the refining, proceed with the dying—perhaps death itself will bring success, much like how Gu Changqing managed to refine the first Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill.”
“Moreover, advancing in Soul Capturing proves simpler than you might think.”
“Stay calm, avoid haste.”
At these words, Gu Yinxuan clasped his hands and inclined his head, a touch of bewilderment washing over him...
Indeed, at this moment... death held no terror for him.
Was it possible that these poison pills, beyond his current cultivation level, could truly be forged by wagering his very life?
Li Che paid no further mind to Gu Yinxuan, instead gathering three Four Imperial Taoist Divine Crystals along with ten Lower Three Pure Ones Divine Crystals.
The alchemy materials were set aside for Gu Changqing.
As the Poison Saint, Gu Yinxuan shone in crafting poison pills, yet he fell short in the art of standard elixir creation.
Although Gu Yinxuan had ascended to half-immortal status as a pill master via poison pill mastery, when it came to ordinary elixirs, he couldn't match Gu Changqing's expertise.
In this way, the duo—one embodying righteousness, the other evil—fulfilled every demand Li Che had for alchemists.
With a mere flicker of intent, Li Che departed from the Underworld Fengdu.
…
…
Guangling Dao City.
The toxic mist had entirely cleared and disappeared.
Gu Qianchi fixed his stare on Mo City Fengdu, utterly stunned as the gateway to the Underworld Fengdu gradually dissolved from view.
What had become of Gu Yinxuan and Gu Yangxuan?
Had they perished?
Yet if death had claimed them, signs would have stirred in the heavens and earth, but nothing emerged, proving they lived. Then where were they?
Had they fled?
Tension gripped Gu Qianchi's entire form, the dread inspired by Gu Yinxuan, the Poison Saint, proving immense...
Fortune smiled on him for staying out of the fray; even a brush with that venom could have inflicted grave wounds.
Xie Yushen's eyes sparkled with insight, as Li Che's message reached him in an instant, revealing Gu Yangxuan's total rout—reduced to sustenance for countless half-step Divine Tribulations, supreme peaks, and more...
These would transform into vital elixirs, propelling numerous Soul Capturers toward breakthroughs.
Heavenly Pill Divine Sect...
Had fallen!
Though now a Soul Capturer, Xie Yushen's convictions endured. He battled now for his lord, toppling sects in conquest!
No longer did he strive for Great Vista, but solely for his master...
Hence, the triumphant assault and demolition of a Great Divine Sect, claiming its full fortune, filled Xie Yushen with delight!
Buzz——
Gu Qianchi descended elegantly beside Xie Yushen, grasping the turn of events right then.
Xie Yushen alighted from the sedan, fanning himself softly with a feather fan, clad in flowing crane robes.
He advanced at an unhurried pace, trailed silently by Grandmaster Huang Mei.
The party progressed steadily toward the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect.
Battered by Gu Yinxuan's treachery, countless disciples of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect succumbed to poison, with merely a handful of alchemy masters enduring through antidote consumption.
Martial Saints, Divine Fetuses, and fellow cultivators clung to life by the thinnest thread.
All the rest met utter annihilation.
With a gentle flick of his feather fan, Xie Yushen signaled the imperial troops to seize and restrain the remnants of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's cultivators.
Xie Yushen pressed onward until he reached the Sect Master Peak of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect.
He positioned himself upon the grand platform of the primary summit.
Dark clouds churned wildly, while flakes of white snow danced through the air.
Xie Yushen approached the cliff's brink, ascending the mountaintop to survey all of Guangling Dao City below.
“We've assaulted and razed a sect—the inaugural divine sect, now in ruins!”
Xie Yushen proclaimed in a resounding voice.
His declaration ignited the court army into a frenzy, as they raised weapons and spears high, bellowing in fervent triumph.
For these soldiers of the court, this clash... marked a surge of exhilaration!
Victory had at last arrived.
Another defeat would have sown seeds of despair, questioning their very purpose.
But now, guided by the State Preceptor, they had crushed a divine sect that dominated an entire dao path!
From the Qiankun Jade, Xie Yushen produced a modest tripod, accompanied by a gourd brimming with stored Rain Root Water.
Once the Rain Root Water filled the small tripod,
Xie Yushen withdrew a step, then performed the ritual of three bows and nine prostrations, honoring the heavens and earth, invoking the mountains and rivers!
Rumble——
In the instant that followed, amid the astonished stares of Gu Qianchi and his companions,
the small tripod trembled faintly, as though compelling the whole mountain gate of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect to quake in response.
Mountains and rivers shuddered, currents of air swirling in turbulent surges!
Across the realm, raindrops scattered and hazed into oblivion.
Within the small tripod, a golden lotus emerged gradually.
This Golden Lotus unfurled amid heaven and earth, swaying with elegant poise, for it had absorbed the fortune of the entire Heavenly Pill Divine Sect!
At this juncture, the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's fortune had coalesced into the Luck Golden Lotus!
From Great Vista's Eleven Paths, one path's fortune returned!
…
…
Divine Capital.
First City.
Boom boom boom boom——
Palace Temple, Cloud Palace.
The palace towered imposingly, radiating splendor and majesty!
The Emperor occupied the central throne, the Empress seated elegantly nearby, while officials arrayed below, clutching white jade scepters and bowing in reverence.
As tolling bells echoed from afar, a spark of delight flickered in the Emperor's eyes, veiled by divine aura.
He rose abruptly, his golden robes billowing, gaze alight with fervor as he turned toward the Second City within the Divine Capital, where the Lotus Pavilion resided.
