As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1902 - 489: 89 Xuan Techniques Shatter Human Immortal Ambitions, First Supreme of the Great Dao Haoran Underworld [Monthly Ticket]...

This is precisely Li Che’s ultimate ambition and guiding principle!

It serves as the bedrock upon which Li Che intends to shatter the limitations of Human Immortal!

Having successfully concluded the refinement of the Divine Medicine Martial Pill, Li Che released a deep, resonant exhale, the expelled turbid air erupting like a fiery orb into the expansive heavens, its misty haze twisting and ascending!

Li Che then departed from the city of Mo City Fengdu.

He made his return to the Elder Court.

Emerging from his study, the sounds of Xi Xi's hearty dining reached his ears.

"Wow, Mom's cooking is absolutely divine! Xi Xi hasn't savored Mom's braised pork in ages, it's truly comparable to a master chef's culinary expertise!"

"However, Xi Xi won't be able to enjoy the chef's exquisite dishes for quite some time!"

Xi Xi mumbled to herself as she ate with gusto.

Zhang Ya sat beside her, her chin propped in her hand, gazing at her daughter with tender affection, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

"Dad! Quickly come, Xi Xi is so devoted, I've actually saved a piece of meat just for you!"

Despite her mouth being slick with the delicious sauce, Xi Xi's filial piety shone through brightly.

Li Che playfully rolled his eyes, retorting, "Your mother prepared eighteen succulent pieces of braised pork, and you, my dear, consumed seventeen, leaving a mere half piece for your father. And yet, you still have the audacity to proclaim your filial devotion, hmm?"

Xi Xi’s face immediately broke into a wide grin, revealing a dazzling set of pearly white teeth.

"Have you been swamped with pressing matters and feeling utterly exhausted lately?"

"Have you been too occupied to return home for meals?"

Li Che pulled out a chair and settled in, inquiring gently.

After finishing a bowl of steaming hot soup, Xi Xi let out a contented sigh, explaining, "Indeed, quite a few complex issues have arisen at Golden Light Manor. It's due to the overwhelming congregation of exceptionally powerful individuals there, which has consequently led to a breakdown in order."

"Master Nan Lihuo dispatched a communiqué to Xi Xi, formally requesting the assistance of our sect..."

Xi Xi pursed her cute little nose as she spoke, her expression earnest.

"A string of grim murder cases has plagued Golden Light Manor, plunging the city into utter chaos. An excessive influx of formidable cultivators has descended, including Martial Saints, Divine Fetal stage powerhouses, and even a considerable number of Divine Tribulation and Martial God realm experts. In comparison, Golden Light Manor possesses disturbingly limited defensive capabilities..."

"Father, Xi Xi was initially slated to journey to Ancestor Dragon Island!"

"However, this excursion is no longer a necessity..."

Xi Xi lifted her head with an air of proud confidence, her large, expressive eyes blinking as she declared.

"Hm?"

Li Che appeared slightly taken aback, a flicker of confusion crossing his features as he couldn't help but ask, "Pray tell, why is that?"

Li Che had, in fact, already commenced preparations to escort Xi Xi to Ancestor Dragon Island, with the primary objective of retrieving the Qiankun Ring.

"Because... Ancestor Dragon Island has been strategically relocated to the Nine Dragons River region by the formidable Four Sea Dragon Gods!"

"It appears the Four Sea Dragon Gods intend to employ this maneuver to instigate the revival of the Third Crown Prince, and subsequently, enlist the support of various factions from the Strange Que camps to subdue him!"

Xi Xi planted her hands on her hips, a confident hum accompanying her explanation.

"Did you meticulously analyze these developments?"

Li Che raised a questioning eyebrow, his gaze sharp.

Xi Xi lightly scratched the back of her head, admitting, "Xi Xi conducted a preliminary analysis of the situation. The remaining insights were meticulously derived by my senior brother."

"Your senior brother? The esteemed top disciple of the Taibai Sect Master?"

Xi Xi nodded affirmatively, her eyes bright. "Indeed! Senior Brother Zhuang You received an urgent missive from Master Taibai and precisely for this reason, he specially returned. He then thoroughly analyzed the situation for Xi Xi, and I must say, his conclusions are remarkably astute."

Li Che was, of course, well-acquainted with Lv Taibai’s foremost disciple, a figure revered as the reincarnated Temple God, renowned for his otherworldly presence and profound detachment from worldly affairs...

He hadn't anticipated his return at this juncture.

When Lv Taibai had embarked on the Xiling Road expedition, he had only briefly alluded to the possibility, offering no firm guarantees regarding Zhuang You's potential return.

"Father, Xi Xi might have to urgently proceed to Golden Light Manor..."

Xi Xi casually wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Golden Light Manor, after all, falls under the jurisdiction of our Qian Yuan Divine Sect's sphere of influence. We cannot allow other forces to simply usurp the spotlight. Furthermore, our Divine Sect must assert its presence and demonstrate its resolve. Otherwise, Master Nan Lihuo and the other elders would undoubtedly be disillusioned. Presently, numerous factions are exhibiting exceedingly audacious behavior, some even harboring intentions of annexing Golden Light Peak! Master Nan Lihuo and his allies are facing immense pressure in their attempts to resist these encroachments..."

Xi Xi elaborated, her voice tinged with concern.

Li Che observed his daughter, who had visibly matured, and a flicker of profound gratification involuntarily surfaced in his eyes.

"Very well, in that case, your father shall accompany you."

However, Xi Xi promptly shook her head with the vehemence of a rattling drum.

"Father, the current situation at Golden Light Manor is fraught with considerable peril..."

"And with you by my side, it's no longer perilous?" Li Che chuckled, his voice warm.

Xi Xi rubbed her little hands together, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous gleam. "Therefore, Father, might I perhaps borrow that colossal ape-smashing artifact for Xi Xi's use?"

Li Che chuckled softly, realizing with amusement that his daughter's keen interest lay in the magnificent Divine Realm Mechanism Beast, Heavenly Armor!

In her current state, having recently ascended to the Martial Saint realm, Xi Xi could just barely manage to operate the Heavenly Armor...

"It remains excessively perilous."

"Your father must accompany you..."

Xi Xi's face lit up with a joyous smile, deeply touched by her father's evident concern and protective affection.

Unable to further insist, she gracefully relented.

"Additionally, now that you have attained the Martial Saint realm, your father must consider upgrading your mechanical components..."

Li Che remarked with a fond smile.

Xi Xi's eyes suddenly blazed with anticipation. She wondered what upgrades her father would bestow upon her mechanisms! Could Xi Xi unleash fireworks once more? Even as a Martial Saint, would fireworks still be within her reach? The thought of igniting dazzling displays sent a jolt of pure joy through Xi Xi, her pretense of maturity vanishing completely.

Li Che observed his daughter, bouncing with excitement beneath the dining table, his gaze softening. He recognized that Xi Xi's firepower indeed required an upgrade. Facing the looming crisis, enhanced firepower meant a much deadlier force! It was time to equip the Immortal Artisan Gatling and Immortal Work Barrett, loaded with Extreme Pressure Prison Thunder Pills! One shouldn't underestimate Xi Xi, even though she had just achieved Martial Saint realm- a small figure could still possess immense lethality!

Now that his daughter had ascended to become the Qian Yuan Divine Sect Master, it was only natural that she should possess the foundation befitting such a role. And that foundation, Li Che firmly believed, was him, her father! He mused for a moment before clenching his fist. Instantly, a pitch-black chess piece materialized in his palm. This was the second lethal piece from the Ten Fierce Brushwork, transforming from the Black Bull Demon God Venerable to the Strange Power Zhu Huai!

Upon receiving the chess piece, Xi Xi immediately perceived the terrifying, vicious aura emanating from it, even sensing a fierce beast coiled within! Empowering his daughter, Xi Xi, with the means to summon a fierce beast was paramount. Li Che's role was to continuously bolster his daughter's capital as the Sect Master! He wanted Xi Xi to make her grand debut before the major forces, utilizing her status as Sect Master, in a manner that would be utterly astonishing!

Li Che understood his limitations; he could not directly aid in cultivation advancement, but he could offer substantial assistance in accumulating powerful trump cards. "Wow—!!!" Xi Xi exclaimed, her delight overflowing! She leaped into Li Che's arms, enfolding him in a tight hug around his neck, planting earnest kisses upon him.

"Alright, alright..." Li Che feigned a dismissive air, using his palm to gently push away his daughter's neck. "These are Underworld techniques; I've secretly imbued them within you... Should anyone dare to bully you, simply summon the fierce beast... In the human realm, few can contend with this Zhu Huai," he stated, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "However, within the Strange Que, it is not invincible," Li Che added with a chuckle.

"Mm-hmm, thank you, Daddy! Daddy, kisses!" Xi Xi giggled, her joy infectious. Li Che finally leaned in, his heart content, allowing Xi Xi to bestow another peck upon him. Afterward, Xi Xi withdrew the Qiankun Jade that housed her Mechanical Triple Cannon and presented it to Li Che. "Daddy, hurry and improve it! Xi Xi is so excited!" The little girl's feet tapped rapidly on the ground, her eagerness palpable.

Li Che let out a soft chuckle. Following this affectionate exchange, Xi Xi bid farewell. Her physical form vibrated as she stepped onto the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, accelerating towards Taibai Peak to resume her duties as the Little Sect Master. Meanwhile, Li Che, holding Xi Xi's Triple Mechanical Gun Platform, found the smile on his face gradually fading. "Golden Light Prefecture..."

Suddenly, a violent tremor shook Li Che's heart. A flicker of joy, unmistakable, flashed in his eyes. Without lingering for further words, he clenched his fist before Zhang Ya, vanishing from sight instantly. He reappeared within Qi Tian City. Qi Tian City was being deluged by an autumn rain, cloaking the entire metropolis in a misty veil. Within the inner city of Qi Tian, supreme pressure surged and roared. The three supreme experts from the Deceitful Gods Camp appeared to be engaged in internal conflict, their energies clashing relentlessly. Yet, Li Che remained unconcerned by the Supremes' internecine strife. Whether their conflict was genuine or a facade, Li Che paid it no mind. The return of Zhou Heng had been a simple, almost casual, maneuver on his part. He had not anticipated the three Supremes would end up seriously injuring each other as a result of their dispute.

Li Che materialized within the City Lord's Mansion of Qi Tian Outer City. Fang Hanshu was seated in a rocking chair, engrossed in the Holy Sage Book. Upon noticing Li Che's instantaneous arrival, his eyes, clear and bright, met Li Che's. "A Che, you've arrived," Fang Hanshu said with a serene smile. His magnificent beard fluttered, and the Confucian robe he wore rustled gently. Despite the downpour of autumn rain, starlight pierced through the curtain of mist, illuminating him, as if he had transformed into a shower of starlight.

Li Che's eyes flashed with a sharp glint. He cast a quick glance at Fang Hanshu before raising his hand to his brow. A metallic clang echoed as the Star Plucking Pupil erupted forth. In the ensuing moment, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard ascended into the sky, completely obscuring the aura of their location! The Tao Divine Pattern began to condense, and the Haoran Divine Pattern interwove, resembling divine dragons in their rolling motion! Fang Hanshu was on the verge of a breakthrough, poised to become the first Supreme in the Underworld!
