As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1761 - 458: At Qitian Temple, Beholding the Great Saint’s Corpse, Obtaining the Complete Equaling Heaven’s Face and the Immortal Seed [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
"Kill!"
...
Battle cries erupted abruptly, piercing the heavens as though they aimed to upend the entire Qi Tian City.
Such a spectacle made it clear, even to the dimmest mind, that priceless treasures lay hidden in the Inner City of Qi Tian City, guarded by numerous Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses—indicating an extraordinary inheritance!
In an ordinary Mysterious Temple, or even the Three Pure Bizarre Temples, the count of Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses combined with the Temple Guardian Curse Corpse King wouldn't surpass the nine Venerables. Nine represents a limit; exceeding it hints at... profound oddities inside the temple!
Nobody anticipated that before they could enter the Inner City of Qi Tian City, a savage fight had already broken out!
The clamor of combat rattled the firmament, and the confrontation proved savagely fierce.
Divine Tribulation Experts ceased holding back their cultivation, unleashing strikes in succession, their Power of Tribulation clashing and weaving, imposing immense strain on the Top-level Peak and Divine Fetus Great God.
Still, nobody yielded ground, driven by either the mysterious allure in the fog or the irresistible draw from the Qi Tian Inner City—the conflict intensified relentlessly.
More cultivators perished, the area near the city gate soaking in blood, turning red.
Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, along with other powerhouses from the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, sprang into action, joined by allies like Xuan Jiu Zhuan, carving through the fray with bloodshed, advancing toward the Qi Tian Inner City.
Various factions assembled their forces, engaging in furious clashes, gradually overpowering the onslaught of Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses pouring forth!
Yet, in the midst of this raging battle.
A black-robed figure, shrouded completely, slipped unnoticed through the dead bodies, eagerly absorbing the death energy and corpse Qi.
Once Lv Taibai and his companions passed the archway and disappeared from view.
The black-robed individual lifted his head gradually, revealing beneath the hood a face warped and hideous, eyes darting wildly as if six conflicting wills battered his consciousness.
"Teacher... disciple... has come to see you off..."
"Junior Sister, I will... protect on your behalf!"
"Junior Sister should take the heavenly path!"
...
...
Within the Qi Tian Inner City.
Li Che, donning Equal to Heaven’s Face, stepped through the archway, feeling as if he crossed dimensions and eras.
As he went past the archway, the roar of battle boomed behind him.
But after entering the Inner City beyond the archway, every sound of fighting faded away entirely.
Li Che, gripping the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod, his black robe billowing, surveyed his surroundings, his eyes sharpening abruptly.
The sheer scale of the Qi Tian Inner City surpassed Li Che’s imaginations, vast and unending, filled with endless wilds. Countless palaces flanked a slender river that sliced straight through the city.
White jade railings bordered both banks, seeming to split the city into two distinct parts.
Rather than an Inner City, it resembled...
A sprawling Imperial Palace ensemble!
Innumerable opulent halls towered majestically, featuring ornate beams and vibrant eaves, decked in gold and gems, remaining pristine despite eons passed.
Li Che whirled around, staring back at the city wall, only to be stunned—the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel that had stood there was gone, the radiant golden treasure rod no longer atop the tower?!
Li Che’s eyebrows knit together faintly; he lifted his hand, pressing it to his forehead’s center.
In an instant, the Heaven and Earth chessboard ascended skyward, spinning before unfurling wide!
The immense Inner City laid bare before Li Che’s sight...
At the Qi Tian Inner City’s far end, on a modest hill bordered by the White Jade Staircase, perched an even grander palace, pulsing with ceaseless golden radiance.
And there, the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel protruded from behind that palace.
"So even the Great Supervising Minister can err in his calculations..."
Li Che let out an involuntary chuckle.
This Three Pure Ranks Divine Warrior Treasure Stick wasn’t positioned on the city wall whatsoever; mere line of sight made the rod, rising dozens of zhang, align with the wall—from the Outer City’s view into the Inner City, it looked as though the rod rested on the wall.
Thus, the Great Supervising Minister’s insight probably captured what everyone outside Qi Tian City perceived of the treasure stick.
For an unexplained reason, Li Che sensed a touch of ease.
Maybe because the Great Supervising Minister had faltered, it softened Li Che’s guarded view of him somewhat.
As he touched his brow’s center, Equal to Heaven’s Face appeared wholly fused with Li Che’s features, like seamless flesh and blood, as if no mask existed.
"Is this Qi Tian Inner City... a self-contained Small Cave Heaven?"
"No!"
Li Che abruptly recalled something vital.
The skin at his brow tore open, exposing the Star Plucking Pupil.
It gleamed with golden brilliance, connecting to the Heaven and Earth chessboard, probing the whole Qi Tian Inner City.
Boundless scrutiny, piercing deceptions to unveil reality!
"Indeed..."
Li Che exhaled deeply, his gaze blending enlightenment and astonishment.
This Qi Tian Inner City formed a segment of the Strange Que, precisely at the border of Earth Deceit Que and Inner Mysterious Que.
No wonder...
Li Che sensed the infinite divinity permeating heaven and earth—the divine essence was overwhelmingly potent!
Clatter——
The noise came from chains straining against their bonds.
Li Che’s heart tightened; he pushed aside thoughts on how the Qi Tian Inner City actually belonged to the Strange Que.
Merely a wall separated the mortal realm from the Strange Que!
Though astonishing, now wasn’t the moment to dwell on wonders.
A cold premonition stirred in Li Che’s mind.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard stretched outward, ever-expanding, paired with the Star Plucking Pupil, determined to reveal all.
