As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1876 - 484: Xi Xi Attains Martial Saint, Sudden Earth-Shattering Upheaval! Heaven and Earth Ordain an Inescapable Fate
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
In the Imperial Mausoleum, brilliant lights illuminated the scene.
Bright Treasure Beads adorned the temple's roof, casting an intense radiance that banished the darkness.
Upon the altar, ancestral tablets stood, shrouded in wisps of smoke with flickering candle flames.
The Emperor's frigid words reverberated, plunging the mausoleum's atmosphere into a chilling abyss, a cold that pierced to the very soul.
Mr. Lian bowed low, his head bowed, scarcely daring to breathe, clearly feeling the weight of the Emperor's fury.
The eyes of the Black Robed Sage, hidden within his dark robes, slowly opened, revealing a sliver of a cold smile.
It seemed the Emperor was truly cornered; otherwise, given their disposition, the Emperor of Dajing might have prolonged the deliberation.
The Emperor was hesitant to relinquish the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner, a Divine Weapon vital to the Dajing Royal Family, and thus unwilling to lose it.
Initially, the Emperor delayed to ascertain if the fading Ghost Emperor would indeed exhaust its power. However, after three months... it certainly did not burn out.
Furthermore, with Lv Taibai's invitation via Sword Intent to the inheritance ceremony, the Emperor felt his imperial honor was slighted, compelling him to reach a decision.
"Your Majesty... has finally resolved your course of action."
The Black Robed Venerable rose slowly from the ground, an imposing aura emanating from his form, distorting the void as if on the brink of fragmentation.
The dragon motifs on the Emperor's resplendent yellow robe appeared to awaken, their divine eyes, imbued with Dao Yun, casting an impassive glance upon the Black Robed Venerable.
Confronted by the venerable's oppressive aura, his expression shifted little, his demeanor as placid as still water, utterly serene.
"Do not interfere with the Supreme's objective," the Emperor stated calmly.
The Black Robed Venerable chuckled: "Rest assured, Your Majesty, the annihilation of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect... is hardly a daunting task, and the Supreme will likely concur."
"Consult regarding this matter," the Emperor remarked, his hands clasped behind his back.
The Black Robed Venerable narrowed his eyes, then formed a seal with his hands, his surrounding divinity surging, subtly weaving runes formed by this divine power into a distinct mystical formation.
A short while later, the Black Robed Venerable opened his eyes: "Supreme Xuanzhen has assented."
For the Supreme, possessing the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner to shield against the scrutiny of Heaven and Earth's will for a duration, descending into the mortal realm would grant the Supreme immensely amplified power, rendering them virtually unstoppable.
After all, with the suppression of Heaven and Earth's will, even a Second Calamity Venerable finds it arduous to manifest. Who could possibly oppose a rampaging Supreme?
Consequently, the Black Robed Venerable was not taken aback by Supreme Xuanzhen's agreement to this proposal.
Moreover...
Within the domain of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect resides the Daughter of Prison Lotus!
This decree from the Emperor is, in Supreme Xuanzhen's estimation, akin to an offering delivered on a gilded platter.
The Emperor gestured: "Mr. Lian, make the necessary preparations. I have secured the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner; accompany this venerable in its transport and ensure we witness Supreme Xuanzhen claim the banner firsthand!"
Mr. Lian's expression instantly became grave: "This humble servant pledges his life and soul; the banner shall be delivered to Supreme Xuanzhen!"
The Emperor nodded, for Mr. Lian had served as a loyal confidant over many years.
He placed his trust in Mr. Lian's integrity!
Rumble —!
The Emperor intertwined his fingers, resembling sword light piercing through space, abruptly cleaving open the void.
A Purple Sandalwood Box emerged from the void, held aloft by the Emperor, containing the precious Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner.
The Emperor's gaze settled upon Mr. Lian.
Mr. Lian immediately felt an overwhelming, unparalleled pressure descend upon him.
Upon receiving the Purple Sandalwood Box, he sensed an immense weight, as if even his Confining God's Body might fracture under the strain.
Mr. Lian tightly grasped the Purple Sandalwood Box, bowing deeply.
......Qingshan, like delicate hairpins, faintly appeared amidst the swirling clouds and mist.
Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Within the Elder Court.
Li Che sat serenely in the courtyard, a stove nearby emitting a gentle heat, the water in the kettle beginning to bubble, with fragrant verdant tea leaves dispersed within.
As they unfurled in the boiling water, they danced and swirled, releasing a rich tea aroma from the rising steam.
Due to a prolonged absence, Zhang Ya was diligently engaged in cleaning and tidying the area.
Li Che's spirit stirred, his consciousness diving into the Heaven and Earth chessboard, which hummed as its intricate pieces shifted and intertwined.
Subsequently, a vision materialized, depicting a clandestine meeting within the Imperial Mausoleum involving Mr. Lian, the Emperor, and the mysterious Black Robed Venerable.
Li Che's attention fixated on the Purple Sandalwood Box that the Emperor had revealed.
Mr. Lian was depicted holding the Purple Sandalwood Box, appearing to struggle to maintain his grip, as if the very confines of his Confining God's Body were threatening to shatter.
"Something is amiss."
Li Che's eyebrows knitted subtly, immediately noticing the distinction. With a mere thought, the Martial Immortal Will within the Heaven and Earth chessboard unfurled. Following this, the Gathering Immortal Yellow Flag quickly moved towards him, now held firmly in his grasp. Confronted by the Purple Sandalwood Box, the Gathering Immortal Yellow Flag remained utterly unresponsive. Li Che let out a cold laugh, murmuring, "What a sly Emperor, truly with hidden depths." He even harbored distrust for his own most trusted subordinate, attempting such a deception? However, this particular ploy by the Emperor was bound to fail. The moment Supreme Xuanzhen obtained the box, they would be able to ascertain if the Gathering Immortal Flag was indeed inside. Only by possessing mastery over the Gathering Immortal Flag could one gain dominion over the Heaven and Earth Will, thereby breaking free from Qitian Inner City's confines... Therefore, such a deceptive maneuver held no real significance. Just as anticipated, as the Black Robed Venerable turned to enter the Strange Que pathway, the Emperor detained Mr. Lian. He then presented Mr. Lian with a Jade Box. As the Emperor's trusted associate, Mr. Lian grasped the implication instantly.
