As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1818 - 471: The Only Martial Immortal in 5000 Years Past and Future, Qitian Enters the Restaurant to Meet the Divine Monarch Boss [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The fiery sunset dipped westward, scorching crimson like flames devouring barren peaks, sparking massive blazes that drenched the sky and land in bloody red.
On the pinnacle of Qitian Inner City’s tower.
This weathered edifice of bricks and stones showed clear erosion marks, radiating the essence of endless eras.
Clad in simple cloth robes, the stooped Old Monkey sat cross-legged atop the tower, every inch a sagely elder. Golden gleams danced in his eyes as he fixed them on Li Che, piercing straight through to his present condition.
Truthfully, from Qitian Outer City below, myriad gazes locked onto the Inner City tower.
The primordial god risen from demise perched regally on high, like an eternal obelisk scarred by the passage of time.
Cultivation realms among the powerhouses here were anything but weak; only those at the human domain's apex dared venture into Qitian City.
Martial Saints, Divine Fetuses, and supreme peak experts alongside Great Gods.
These elites held sharp perceptions, privy to hidden truths, fully comprehending a deity's might and the world-altering weight of a Temple God’s resurrection.
"The revival of a deity heralds the divine tide's approach; every divine tide spells disaster. Three thousand years of rising and falling cycles herald the dawn of gods rampaging freely."
A veteran cultivator breathed a quiet sigh.
However, the tower-top exchange between Old Monkey and the Earthly Ghost Emperor stunned most, thanks to Old Monkey's bestowed gift upon him.
It resembled a parting legacy, handing the Three Pure Ones Rank Divine Weapon, the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel, straight to the Earthly Ghost Emperor.
Hearts quaked for some, audacious notions bubbling up inside.
Was this Qitian deity's time truly running short?
Might some colossal event loom near?
Observers guessed the Great Sage Equalling Heaven readied himself for the Earth Deceit Que, as all knew Qitian Inner City's prime spot bridging Inner Mysterious Que and Earth Deceit Que.
Rumors swirled of immense fortunes inside Earth Deceit Que, poised to hoist revived entities higher still.
Thus crowds figured the Great Sage Equalling Heaven aimed to storm Earth Deceit Que post-revival, snatching a shot at rapid divine power recovery.
More jaw-dropping still stood the Qitian Temple God's lavish move.
He outright granted the Three Pure Ones Rank Divine Weapon, Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel, to the Earthly Ghost Emperor, volunteering to draw Heaven and Earth Essence Qi for his Martial Immortal Realm charge!
"Martial Immortal! Pure Martial Immortal, scarce across the world!"
"To think this Earthly Ghost Emperor forged the martial path so far. Legends claim Pure Martial Immortals reign supreme in battle; a Martial Immortal proving Dao would terrify beyond measure."
"Yet whether now or in divinity's hidden age, Martial Immortals prove exceedingly rare. The Pure Martial Path...storming Martial Immortal calls for not just stellar talent but resources in staggering abundance."
...
Powerhouses jammed Qitian Outer City, buzzing with nonstop talk.
"But catching a Martial Immortal's rise is pure luck for us onlookers."
One marveled in shock.
"A Martial Immortal breakthrough hides from no one; it'll grip the globe, eclipsing Divine Tribulation or Martial God ascents. Conquering the brutal Pure Martial Path to its zenith even summons heaven-shaking catastrophes!"
"We might just behold a Martial Immortal breakthrough era absent for thousands of years!"
Sounds echoed without cease, crowds bubbling with thrill and expectation.
"Still, piercing to true Martial Immortal ranks as brutally hard. This age overflows with divine comebacks, godly forces everywhere, turning pure martial Dao proof into a steeper climb."
Some countered with doubts and grim outlooks.
Even so, word of the Earthly Ghost Emperor's Martial Immortal Realm push raged like wildfire, resounding in every listener's mind.
Plus, a few zeroed in on odd angles.
"The Earthly Ghost Emperor, shocking he's no Martial Immortal yet? Does Underworld lean on Prison Lotus support in the mortal realm? Hide other deities in the Underworld?"
Deep curiosity gripped one observer.
How deep runs the Underworld's ceiling?
Atop the tower.
Sunset blazed like flames.
"Well then...thank you, senior."
Li Che grinned, cupping fists in thanks. Truly, he craved the Martial Immortal Realm assault, fusing Martial Immortal Dao Essence perfectly into his flesh.
Yet Qitian's words laid bare Li Che's missing piece.
Heaven and Earth Essence Qi...
The fuel for Martial Immortal breakthrough?
Martial Immortal strays from Martial God: gods draw on divinity, but Martial Immortal—at Qi-blood and body limits—demands outside surge all the same.
Martial God banks on divinity, Martial Immortal hungers for Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
"I, Old Sun, can help siphon Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, but...only around Qitian City. Your breakthrough demands staying in this zone."
Old Monkey murmured gently.
Li Che voiced no qualms, untroubled.
The Martial Immortal tribulation he targeted terrified utterly, its perils topping Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
Regular Divine Tribulation cultivators shied from such horrors, dreading the taint.
Tackling the Martial Immortal Pass beyond Qitian City troubled him not.
"Senior, this Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel...best stays with senior."
Li Che turned down Old Monkey’s gift.
Truly, a Three Pure Ones Rank Divine Weapon wielded immeasurable might.
