As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1879 - 484: Xi Xi Ascends as Martial Saint, a Sudden World-Shaking Turn! Heaven and Earth Ordain an Inescapable Fate [Requesting Monthly Ticket]...

Xi Xi's eyes fluttered open. In the vast expanse of darkness stretching into the distance, a black lotus platform materialized, casting an eerie black glow. It was indeed within the boundless, dark void that this dark light emanated...

An unseen force pulled her forward, and despite any resistance, Xi Xi found herself stepping onto the colossal lotus platform.

Resting upon this dark, floral stage was a crimson egg, lying in silent repose.

It was quiet and undisturbed.

"Xi Xi, do you sense the deep-seated resentment? The utter despair? Confronted with the massacre of your parents, the brutal slaying of your cherished friends, the complete annihilation of your sect, are you not bewildered and plunged into desperation?"

"A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood surge before your very eyes; have you never known pain?"

A soft voice emanated from the crimson egg.

"Huh?"

Xi Xi tilted her head, her gaze filled with confusion.

What nonsensical ramblings were these, coming from an egg? Why should Xi Xi feel sorrow?

Her father and mother were thriving, Sister Yun E and Little Fatty Zhou Peng were as lively as ever, and the sect... it wasn't shattered; it had actually grown stronger. The Sect Master himself was boldly challenging and provoking the Emperor – the sect was doing exceptionally well!

"You egg, you speak such falsehoods! Are you casting a curse upon Xi Xi? What a dreadful egg!"

Xi Xi's displeasure flared instantly as she scolded it.

"Xi Xi, cease this pretense of strength; face reality, accept the truth... We must become stronger, more resilient; only then can we truly resist."

The voice from the egg persisted, imbued with a sense of earnestness.

"Come, open your heart and accept my power..."

"The world's malice directed towards you, its torment, we shall return it all tenfold!"

The egg's voice was resolute!

Suddenly, Xi Xi's eyes began to blur, as if ensnared by a powerful enchantment.

Countless visions flashed before her eyes. Within these scenes...

Her parents met tragic ends, her companions lay dead, the sect was in ruins, and rivers of blood flowed...

Xi Xi raised a hand, clutching her chest, feeling an immeasurable agony, as if pierced by a myriad of swords.

"No... Father is so formidable; how could he possibly perish!"

"You egg, you are deceiving Xi Xi!"

Xi Xi cried out in anger.

"You still crave power, don't you..."

The will residing within the egg seemed to perceive something amiss, its voice echoing with a haunting resonance.

A visible struggle erupted in Xi Xi's eyes.

Yet, her steps became involuntary, drawing her closer and closer to the egg on the black lotus platform.

Her fingers unfurled, reaching out as if to touch the egg.

As Xi Xi stepped onto the lotus platform and her hand made contact with the eggshell, ripples suddenly emanated outwards.

"You desire power; I can grant you immense strength... to become unparalleled..."

"The heavens, the earth, all deities, shall not impede you... you can annihilate all that harms you, all that inflicts pain!"

The voice was deeply unsettling.

Xi Xi's face contorted with internal conflict as her hand slowly began to penetrate the eggshell.

Upon the black lotus platform, the surface of the eggshell gradually revealed a pair of eyes.

These eyes gazed intently at Xi Xi.

Within Xi Xi's mind, images surged: being pursued by Martial Saint Gu Chuan of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, and then Yun E and Zhou Peng leaning against a tree, their vitality utterly depleted.

Tears streamed down her face involuntarily, appearing like droplets of blood.

She yearned to become powerful!

This was her burning obsession!

Xi Xi's mind began to yield, her entire arm seemingly being absorbed by the eggshell.

Suddenly.

An exceptionally warm hand, radiant as the sun, pressed against her head. The bone-chilling cold from all directions instantly vanished.

The struggle in Xi Xi's eyes dissipated, and she blankly raised her head.

There, she saw Li Che, a gentle smile gracing his features.

"Father..."

"Little girl, neither of your parents have fallen. Yun E, Zhou Peng, Jin Taixui – they are all well and alive, anticipating your breakthrough to Martial Saint. The Divine Sect flourishes, awaiting your succession as Sect Master..."

"This is all deception; you need not feel such sorrow, anger, or pain. You only need to be happy. Everything else... Father is here."

"Until you witness Father's true demise, you shall not grieve, nor be blinded by any suffering."

"Because..."

"With Daddy here, I will not let you suffer."

Li Che's voice was tender, much like the brilliant sun piercing through darkness, dispelling the shadows within Xi Xi's eyes.

"Ah... yes, yes, yes! Daddy is right! This villain is trying to deceive Xi Xi!"

Xi Xi's eyes suddenly brightened, a flicker of anger appearing.

Li Che's fingers pressed upon Xi Xi's head. The Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit resonated, and within her Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, the Pure Heart Divinity surged like an incoming tide, purifying Xi Xi's entire being.

It felt as though it was struggling against the force contained within the eggshell.

Slowly, he began to pull Xi Xi's arm, which was being consumed by the eggshell, free, inch by inch.

"Ah—!!!"

From within the eggshell.

A piercingly sharp voice suddenly erupted!

An unending torrent of black gas surged from all directions. Li Che’s Martial Immortal Will radiated its brilliance, standing as a solitary lamp on a lone boat amid a roiling, vast sea within this endless darkness.

Strong and distant.

As Xi Xi’s final fingertip gradually withdrew from the eggshell, which rippled like water...

The scream originating from within the eggshell underwent a complete transformation, turning sharp and frantic.

The voice from inside the eggshell launched forth like countless arrows.

However, Li Che’s Martial Immortal Will, coupled with the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, vibrated intensely, repelling all assaults and enticements.

Boom—!!!

The infinite darkness vanished in an instant.

The egg resting upon the Lotus Platform returned to a state of tranquility, showing no signs of movement whatsoever.

Xi Xi drew in sharp breaths.

Li Che’s Martial Immortal Will also became exceedingly faint, appearing as though it might flicker out and disappear at any moment.

His brows knit together, a grave expression dawning in his eyes.

This egg...

What in the world is it?!

Could it truly be...

The Prison Lotus Curse?!

Suddenly, Li Che’s gaze shifted beyond the egg.

Long black hair fluttered as a girl, clad in a black, flowing skirt, emerged from behind. Her eyes were filled with a complex mixture of emotions.

Xi Xi exclaimed in surprise.

Li Che regarded the girl with a gaze that held its own complexities.

Li Che inquired.

The long-haired girl with dark eyes, her countenance cold and detached, shook her head.

Not her?

Li Che inhaled deeply; he understood that an awakened will of Da Xixi resided within Xi Xi's body.

So, what was this confounding egg that had so ensnared Xi Xi?!

Had he not intervened, Xi Xi might have succumbed to the egg's bewitchment just moments ago, drawn into its shell for an unforeseen transformation.

Just as Li Che was lost in thought.

Abruptly, his heart stirred slightly.

His wavering Martial Immortal Will, akin to a candle flame, felt a ripple of a gaze upon him.

He placed his hand on Xi Xi’s small head, his gaze level as he observed the graceful figure emerging from behind the Lotus Platform egg.

The long-haired girl, frigid and impassive, like a glacier that had remained unmelted for eons.

Yet, as she looked at Li Che, her dark eyes no longer seemed calm, revealing a shattered iciness, an emotion of upheaval surging within her.
