As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1751: 456: Divine Monkey Makes a Shining Entrance at Qitian Temple, Temple God Resonance—Three Knocks on the Monkey's Head
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
A visage adorned with a golden-furred Divine Monkey mask drifted through the enigmatic mist, manifesting suddenly in front of everyone's sight.
All onlookers froze in astonishment, yet once the first jolt passed, expressions of understanding and predestined certainty dawned upon their features.
Guests hailing from the Underworld...
Not the Bull Demon King, nor King Yan, and certainly not the Ghost Emperor.
It's the Divine Monkey!
Without a doubt... it's the Divine Monkey!
The very Divine Monkey who seized the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod!
Still, considering the Divine Monkey's power...
Could it truly stand against these assembled Divine Tribulation masters?!
Under the weight of innumerable stares.
The Divine Monkey stayed composed and steadfast, striding into the scene with dazzling prominence.
…
…
Faint orange illumination spilled its warmth.
Within the eatery.
Xi Xi perched on her seat, clutching a piping-hot oversized meat bun, munching away vigorously with oil smeared across her lips and her cheeks bulging like little pouches.
“Daddy must be joining this Temple God Resonance as well, isn't he?”
Xi Xi fluttered her eyelids, murmuring around her mouthful of bun.
She wondered what her father appeared like amid the Temple God Resonance. She recalled her own involvement in the Third Prince Temple's ceremony back in Golden Light Prefecture, where her heart had raced with anxiety.
Nevertheless, during that time, Xi Xi realized that her father's unwavering support from the shadows greatly eased her tension.
That particular Temple God Resonance had etched itself deeply into Xi Xi's memory.
After all... she had nearly succumbed to the Third Prince Temple God's lure to yield her bones to her father and her flesh to her mother.
As a result, Xi Xi harbored mixed feelings toward the Temple God Resonance, though she couldn't deny the abundance of valuable treasures within it.
Such as the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, the God-beating Gold Brick she wielded, and the Divine Cultivation Method embedded in her thoughts...
All of them constituted legacies bestowed by the Temple God!
Hence, Xi Xi yearned for her father to obtain benefits from this Temple God Resonance.
Xi Xi comprehended that placing her in the proprietor's eatery allowed her father to immerse himself completely in the Temple God Resonance.
Xi Xi proved quite compliant, savoring the meals and beverages here without hindering her father in the least!
“Charge ahead, Daddy, charge ahead!”
Xi Xi lifted her hefty meat bun high, performing a cheerful salute.
Her tiny feet dangled crossed together, kicking joyfully, utterly delighted.
The proprietor lounged in his seat, steeping a fresh brew of scalding tea, taking delicate sips.
Lord Dog sprawled across the floor, his sleek black coat catching the subdued rays, radiating a subtle sheen.
The proprietor savored his tea, Xi Xi devoured her bun, and Gouzi reclined on the ground, enveloped in the gentle glow.
In stark contrast to the fervent quakes shaking Qi Tian City from the Temple God Resonance's launch.
The eatery exuded a serene detachment, worlds apart from the turmoil.
…
…
Great Vista, Divine Capital.
Divine Capital Second City.
Octagonal Double-eave Water Tower of Qintian Treasure Tower.
The ninth level of the Treasure Tower.
The whole ninth level expanded into infinite expanse, where the Mystic Turtle reclined upon the floor, a Grand Supervising Minister’s robe billowing atop its shell, the figure perched in silence, his features distorted by bending space.
Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen, the pair of Assistant Directors, waited motionlessly at the entrance to the Ninth City of the Treasure Tower.
Abruptly.
A silhouette glided inward.
Draped in a vivid yellow robe, crowned with a golden treasure diadem, adorned with motifs of Divine Dragon and Divine Phoenix, he advanced unhurriedly, exuding an immense oppressive force that caused Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen's faces to shift subtly.
“Hail, Your Majesty.”
Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen's gazes sharpened, eyeing with mild astonishment the Emperor's arrival on the ninth floor of the Qintian Observatory Treasure Building.
The Emperor projected a commanding presence, though his countenance remained hazy, he emanated a wholly transformed aura.
The Emperor positioned his hands behind his back, descending with his gilded boots, sending faint ripples through the space.
“Your Majesty, absent the Chief Supervisor’s approval, entry is forbidden without leave.”
Fang Shangzhen, despite her surprise at the Emperor’s altered bearing, moved to intercept him nonetheless.
“Impudence.”
The Emperor uttered coolly, his tone resounding like a mighty gong.
A formidable Will of Heaven and Earth crashed into Fang Shangzhen’s consciousness, draining the color from her face, as though an immense onslaught loomed over her.
Yet, a soothing divine energy enveloped her.
Fang Shangzhen sensed only a massive cushion of yielding cotton bracing her form from the rear.
She recognized this as the Chief Supervisor's influence.
“Your Majesty, if you insist on entering, then proceed inside.”
The Chief Supervisor’s voice wafted from within the Ninth City.
The Emperor’s radiant yellow robe surged as he marched into the ninth-story chamber.
As though traversing a gateway, the surroundings stretched into boundless immensity, evoking a stance atop the heavens, the realm unfurling without limit.
The Chief Supervisor, astride the Mystic Turtle, regarded the Emperor with serene composure.
The Emperor’s features brimmed with sacred vitality and robust qi-blood, whereas the Chief Supervisor’s visage warped under spatial distortion…
“Chief Supervisor… you foresaw that the one who claimed the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod could disrupt my realm and hurl my Great Vista… into turmoil?”
“I arrive now, expressly, Your Majesty, to demonstrate… with my present cultivation and the might I command, who… would presume to unsettle my Great Vista!”
The Emperor stood with hands clasped behind, declaring icily.
With those words spoken.
The Emperor flung his arms wide abruptly, unleashing a horrifying aura from his being.
The Chief Supervisor, perched upon the Mystic Turtle, observed with impassive eyes across his contorted features.
As if beholding an amusing spectacle.
…
…
Li Che, masked by the Divine Monkey Mask and shouldering the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod, strolled casually from the fog-veiled extremities of Qi Tian City's thoroughfare.
Beneath the collective gaze of spectators, he staged a brilliant debut.
As though the spotlight he craved since youth had at last illuminated his reality.
Concealed behind the mask, Li Che’s mindset had transformed profoundly.
Naturally, it carried an unusual flair; back in Golden Light Prefecture, it was Xi Xi who had engaged in the Temple God Resonance, marking Li Che’s initial brush with the ritual.
