Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Li Che begins the process of tempering his body to enter the Martial Arts Human Immortal Realm. Meanwhile, Lv Taibai arrives at a desolate city on Xiling Road, where the elderly are oppressed by a cult disguised as a temple. When a monk attacks an elder, Lv Taibai intervenes and unleashes his Taibai Sword for a bloody revenge against the city.
In a flash, it transformed into a shimmering silver Jiao Long, streaking across the heavens and descending with ferocious might.
It cleaved the opulent, incense-laden temple in two!
The chilling Buddha light that had enveloped the desolate city vanished instantly.
Sweltering heat rushed in to take its place.
Sifting through a few grains of sand.
Infusing the warmth of the mortal world.
...
...
Three days elapsed in the blink of an eye.
The autumn wind blew bleakly, painting the city's maple trees in shades of red.
Outside the gates of Qian Yuan Dao City.
Elder Ding Zi bade farewell to Xi Xi, who was tasked with remaining to safeguard the Qian Yuan Divine Sect. Though her cultivation wasn't exceptionally potent, she had ascended to the Divine Fetus Realm.
Furthermore, with Ancestor Lv Qiankun of Qian Yuan Dao City in seclusion, and the publicly acknowledged seclusion of the two Divine Tribulation Cultivators, Lv Taibai, the city's defenses were considered sufficient.
Despite the influx of numerous formidable individuals into Qian Yuan Dao City, these figures were merely pawns for various factions.
The primary objective remained the Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Monarch Strange Temple.
However, the true focus was now shifting towards the Golden Light Prefecture, as undeniable signs pointed towards the imminent revival of the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Furious Third Prince Temple God!
Consequently, while some unrest simmered in Qian Yuan Dao City, Ding Zi alone was deemed capable of managing the situation.
At the Golden Light Prefecture, Xi Xi, now holding the esteemed position of Sect Master, found it imperative to make a journey. This was not only due to the Four Seas Dragon Clan relocating Ancestor Dragon Island to the Nine Dragons River, but also because of the profound connection between the Third Prince Temple God and Xi Xi.
Xi Xi was in possession of numerous divine weapons once wielded by the Third Crown Prince. Whether it was the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel or the Purple Flame Serpentine Spear Fire Tip...
These were all artifacts of the Third Crown Prince, mythical weapons in their own right, and potentially crucial to the Third Crown Prince Temple God's revival!
Therefore, even with Ding Zi's constant support, she did not dissuade Xi Xi, the newly appointed Sect Master, from embarking on this crucial trip.
"Elder Ding! We are departing!"
Xi Xi's head poked out from the carriage, her hand waving continuously towards the gentle woman stationed at the city gates.
Yun E and Zhou Peng stood beside Ding Zi, both having joined the Qian Yuan Divine Sect for their cultivation under Elder Ding Zi's tutelage.
This time, however, the pair would not be accompanying her.
They each had separate, significant objectives. Yun E, for instance, intended to travel to the Guang Han Immortal Strange Temple. Although Yun E was currently a Soul Capturer...
Li Che, possibly influenced by Fang Hanshu's predicament, suggested Yun E return to the Strange Temple to seek the complete legacy of the Temple God, which would undoubtedly lead to a substantial increase in her cultivation.
This could even potentially pave the way for the revival of the Guang Han Immortal within the Prison Lotus Camp.
Such a feat would offer Xi Xi an additional layer of support.
Similarly, Zhou Peng was set to journey to the Nine-Toothed Demon Extermination Heavenly Pavilion Strange Temple, with the ambition of obtaining a Temple God legacy himself, aiming to revive the Tianpeng Temple God.
Li Che harbored considerable expectations for Zhou Peng as well.
After all, the Nine-Toothed Demon Extermination Heavenly Pavilion Strange Temple, much like the Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Monarch Strange Temple, was recognized as a Four Imperial Rank Strange Temple!
Both individuals were deeply committed to Li Che’s mission, determined to execute their tasks with utmost care.
Within the carriage.
Li Che’s Fairy in the Painting Immortal Avatar sat quietly, accompanying Xi Xi on her journey to the Golden Light Prefecture.
The departure of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect contingent was a grand affair, and as they exited the city, influential figures from various factions immediately began dispatching messages to the Golden Light Prefecture.
With the arrival of Li Nuanxi, the new Sect Master of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, the prominent figures within Golden Light Prefecture couldn't help but feel a stirring of excitement, sensing an impending storm!
Simultaneously, the pressure exerted by numerous factions upon the Divine Sect Branch in Golden Light Prefecture was primarily directed at Xi Xi.
Their objective was to hasten Xi Xi, the Sect Master of the Divine Sect, to the Golden Light Prefecture.
This Daughter of Prison Lotus, whose ties to the Third Prince Temple God were exceptionally significant, was believed to be capable of influencing the anomalies surrounding the Third Prince Temple God’s revival.
...
...
Although Li Che had dispatched an Immortal Avatar, the Fairy in the Painting, to remain by Xi Xi's side, his attention at this moment was not fixated on Xi Xi's situation.
After all, it was merely a routine journey, requiring no undue concern from Li Che.
Though Li Che was aware of the unrest in Golden Light Prefecture City, the situation wasn't truly dire; it was merely a ploy by various factions to pressure Xi Xi into a premature decision.
With Xi Xi having departed, Li Che harbored a keen curiosity about how the young girl, newly appointed Sect Master, would conduct herself upon her first encounter with the major powers.
In Mo City's Fengdu district.
The Dominator Tower.
Hoooo, hoooo, hoooo—
A tempestuous wind raged, while resplendent light, akin to a fiery sun enthroned in the heavens, cast its brilliant beams, transforming the entire ink-hued cityscape into a vision of daylight!
A colossal dragon soared across the sky, unleashing a torrent of ink rain that dissolved into a dense, misty realm of black vapor!
The Six Desires Void Sword Technique, a martial art derived from the Sixth Immortal Seed, meticulously researched and perfected by Li Che!
It was now being channeled through the colossal dragon that writhed within his being!
Boom—!!!
An wave of immense, terrifying power surged from Li Che's form in an instant.
His dark, flowing robes appeared utterly saturated, as if dyed with golden blood!
Atop the Dominator Tower!
Li Che stood resolute, his physique undergoing constant augmentation. Six resplendent orbs, reminiscent of Vast Suns, ascended, exuding a magnificent and dazzling aura!
The sheer brilliance seemed poised to rend the very fabric of the sky!
Dong, dong, dong—
The sixth Qimen Immortal Seed!
Its channeling was complete!
Within his chest cavity, his heart pulsed with extreme vitality, unleashing boundless might. Each resounding heartbeat echoed like the thunderous beat of ancient celestial drums, striking down with brutal force, causing the surrounding space to fracture and ripple with countless shattered remnants!
