As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1819 - 471: The Only Martial Immortal in 5,000 Years, Equaling Heaven Enters the Restaurant and Meets the Divine Monarch Owner

Now that Qi Tian has come back to life, the staff carries a new significance for him. Just as countless Divine Tribulation cultivators had predicted, Li Che senses something unusual about Qi Tian; he might genuinely plan to ascend to Earth Deceit Que.

Old Monkey stood stunned, surprised that Li Che would reject the gift of a Three Pure Ones Rank Divine Weapon.

"You have already recognized its master, and precisely because you let the Primordial Equal to Heaven Staff recognize its master was Old Sun able to revive..."

Old Monkey spoke with a grin.

Yet above Li Che’s head, purple flames blazed, while a faint smile flickered in his golden gaze.

"But without the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, could the Great Saint remain the Great Saint?"

Old Monkey paused briefly at Li Che’s remark.

Then, perched straight on the Heavenly City Tower, he burst into booming laughter, rocking back and forth.

"Fine then, Old Sun will borrow it for now."

"The Martial Immortal Realm proves incredibly tough. In this time, Strange Temples have risen from Strange Que, blanketing the world and saturating it with dense divinity..."

"Such divine forces severely hinder Pure Martial. Even the slightest divinity infusion shatters the Pure Martial path."

"Thus, no one in this age pursues Pure Martial. They might at best conceal tiny divinity traces in their bodies, unable to purge it entirely."

Old Monkey murmured gently.

Li Che nodded at these words, inevitably recalling the True Martial Divine Sect’s martial artists, who follow True Martial along the Pure Martial route. Yet truly, it lacks pure essence, hence named True Martial.

The road demands immense hardship, yet yields horrifyingly potent combat strength.

"So, are you fully prepared? Choosing the Martial Immortal path means failure seals off any Divine Tribulation breakthrough forever..."

"Do you trust in your own abilities?"

Old Monkey’s golden eyes gleamed sharply, fixing intensely on Li Che.

"Yes."

Li Che’s Mo Shan robe billowed as he tucked up his sleeves behind him, offering a soft smile.

Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit thrummed wildly, echoing with dragon roars and elephant trumpets.

Should he fail, this era simply won’t produce a Martial Immortal.

Such assurance stems from Li Che, wielder of the Dao Fruit, its absolute controller.

"Excellent... Worthy of the father to the Daughter of Prison Lotus, truly exceptional."

Old Monkey’s gaze blazed with light.

"Go on, yank out the Ruyi Golden Cudgel; Old Sun doesn’t need it yet. When it’s time to strike Earth Deceit Que, I’ll come borrow the staff from you."

"Extract it right away, claim it; deep within the Primordial Ruyi Golden Cudgel rests Old Sun’s insights into [Combat Divine Technique]."

"I, Old Sun, can’t teach you this secret art directly, but grasping it yourself will grant you tremendous fortune."

Old Monkey declared.

Li Che gave a slight nod, his eyes shifting to the plain, unassuming Golden Hoop Stick that Qi Tian had lodged in the tower.

Golden radiance shimmered, etched with divine runes, harboring a fearsome divine presence inside. Even under Li Che’s command, unleashing it unbound would tap its divine weapon toughness for devastating destructive might.

Combat Divine Technique!

Li Che’s gaze lit up faintly.

He couldn’t resist remembering the visions from the Heaven and Earth chessboard, depicting the Great Sage Equalling Heaven clashing against the death-qi infested six-winged Golden Cicada.

Back then, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven unleashed the Combat Divine Technique, displaying immense might!

Li Che’s own Immortal Seed Martial Arts seemed far inferior beside this art.

Truthfully, Combat Divine Technique transcends mere Immortal Seed Martial Arts—it embodies genuine [Immortal Martial]!

Thus, Li Che resolves to give it a real shot.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh -

A gust swept through, as if rattling the whole Heavenly City.

Word of the Underworld’s Ghost Emperor poised to challenge the Martial Immortal realm had already rocked the city, yet now all eyes locked onto the tower.

Observing the exchange between the Underworld Ghost Emperor and the Qitian Temple God.

Suddenly.

Hearts pounded across the crowd, breaths quickened, every stare exploding with dazzling fervor.

For the Underworld Ghost Emperor advanced, stride by stride, toward the massive Treasure Stick fixed in the tower beneath the dying sun.

The Treasure Stick mirrored the sunset glow, radiating endless splendor amid steaming clouds turning rosy, utterly dazzling and magnificent.

In Qitian Outer City.

Numerous cultivators narrowed their eyes in focus.

Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, Xuan Jiu Zhuan, and others directed their intense stares at the tower’s spectacle.

Meanwhile, Imperial Court cultivators like Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and fellow Martial Gods wore ever more intricate expressions.

At this instant, every heart churned with one inescapable name.

That name: "Great Supervising Minister."

Beyond the Great Supervising Minister’s name loomed his prophecy too.

The bearer of the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod shall extract the Ruyi Golden Cudgel from Qitian City’s tower, igniting chaos across Dajing’s mountains and rivers.

The Great Supervising Minister’s prophecy and foresight now teeter on fulfillment!

Set to prove true!

The Underworld Ghost Emperor!

No—rather, the entire Underworld could spark turmoil throughout the Dajing World!

Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and other Imperial Temple Control Bureau powerhouses felt mounting dread, their gazes gravely pinned on the tower scene.

Purple flames roared, the golden skull exuding stark menace.

Li Che approached the Ruyi Stick step by step, extended his hand, and seized the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
