As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 2179 - 546: Identity Exposed—Encirclement of the Daughter of Prison Lotus, Reunion with Their Daughter Without Distance or Barriers [Monthly Ticket Requested]

At the foot of the mountain, the atmosphere was mixed.

Some ancient village cultivators wept bitterly, overwhelmed by grief and despair because they lost all the resources their village had accumulated over the years in the gambling stakes.

However, there were also some ancient village cultivators who managed to make a small profit.

After a frenzy, there was always loneliness and joy; different attitudes collided like water and fire, two distinct energies clashing against each other.

Through this divine gambling battle selection process, a total of seventy-two villages made it to the main venue of the Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle.

These included ancient villages of various ranks.

In fact, the selection process for the divine gambling battle not only examined the victory rate in the battle but also the total amount of resources won.

If the resources won were too little, the nominee would be canceled.

The purpose was to prevent shrewd people like Yun He from deliberately exploiting loopholes.

As for Yunxiao Village, due to Yunhuang and Yun Lei’s continuous rank-elevating gambling battles, the stakes earned by Yunxiao Village were actually quite rich, so there was no risk of having its nomination canceled.

Dang—!!!

Sitting atop the mountain peak.

Xuanli appeared with the aura of a Path Cutting Great Priest, his powerful path-cutting aura weaving together, changing wind and clouds, causing the world to tremble!

Among these seventy-two ancient villages, some stationed strong cultivators from the Three Pure Ancient Village also possessed Path Cutting Cultivation, so they were not weaker than Xuanli in terms of aura.

But Xuanli, after all, was a Great Priest of the Dark Heavenly Court, unique in identity, naturally having a different air, something the ancient village path-cutters couldn’t compare with.

"Xuanxiao Heaven, the Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle selection has ended; seventy-two ancient villages have advanced to the Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle, gather at the mountain peak."

Xuanli’s eyes opened and closed, emitting divine light.

The foot of the mountain roared, and many villages, led by the strong cultivators within, began ascending towards the peak.

Yun He was very excited; he didn’t expect fortunes to change, and the situation suddenly transformed.

Initially thinking the Great Priest intended to capture his children Yunhuang and Yun Lei, he was surprised when the priest only offered a word of encouragement.

Yet it scared Yun He enough; after all, he inquired around several ancient villages and heard about divine children with awakened ancient clan bloodlines being taken by the Dark Heavenly Court and never heard from again.

Luckily, the ending was a happy one.

Atop the mountain peak, the cleared large plateau assembled the cultivators of seventy-two ancient villages.

Divinity emitted from these cultivators, permeating the peak, making the mountain mist extraordinarily foggy.

Li Che, dressed in a Mo Shan robe, quietly stood among the Yunxiao Village’s team.

Zhang Ya held his arm, showing some excitement on her face.

"Husband... In this journey to the main venue of the Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle, will we be able to see Xi Xi?"

Zhang Ya couldn’t help but ask softly.

Li Che nodded and smiled: "We should be able to..."

"If Xi Xi also advances to the Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle, we will definitely meet, and our family can reunite."

Li Che’s words made Zhang Ya clutch Li Che’s arm tightly.

"Finally, the day has come..."

Zhang Ya bit her lip, her voice trembling, filled with anticipation and choked emotion.

Li Che couldn’t help but feel touched; though he could see updates about Xi Xi daily, only seeing Xi Xi with his own eyes would ease his heart.

Although Xuanli, this Path-Cutting Divine Spirit, became Li Che’s soul capturer, he still maintained the norms of a Dark Heavenly Court Divine Officer.

He gave a speech, voicing some rules.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of many ancient village cultivators, he began activating the teleportation array.

Nine Divine Sculptures were dyed with divinity, rising with a roar, the numerous Tao Divine Patterns engraved on the God Sculpture slowly detached, seemingly invoking the Space Path itself.

Li Che’s gaze was scorching, witnessing this formation’s activation, discovering it differed somewhat from his concept and approach.

But, regardless, witnessing the space teleportation array’s activation firsthand improved his understanding of the Space-Time Golden Wheel Dao Fruit tremendously, reaching 95% success, getting closer to the Sixth Transformation!

Hum—!!!

Li Che focused his mind, suddenly feeling the Tao River flowing across the sky over Mystic Entrance Mountain.

Then, beams of light descended on each figure.

The nine Divine Statues seemed revived, resembling nine strong figures extending their palms to lift everyone.

Space began to twist, a powerful force surged in everyone’s hearts.

...

...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Multicolored lights constantly changed, like a kaleidoscope.

When everything became clear, the breaths that everyone held finally calmed down at this moment.

The Divine Sculpture Space Array traversed the void!

Li Che estimated, in that short time, they probably teleported a distance of thousands of miles!

This could be considered a large-scale teleportation in terms of formations.

Time passed bit by bit.

Xuanli and the other two Merging God Officers continually drew out divinity, maintaining the energy needed for the nine Divine Sculptures’ teleportation.

To activate such an array, a vast amount of divinity was essential; without sufficient cultivation, activation might not be possible.

One Path Cutter, two Merging Cultivators, just enough.

"We are about to penetrate the Domain Barrier."

Suddenly.

Xuanli opened his eyes, speaking in a deep voice.

"Everyone, restrain your divine spirit thought, do not leak even a fraction!"

Once the words fell.

Everyone within the teleportation array restrained their Heaven and Earth Soul, divine spirit thought.

Li Che, too, pressed his divine spirit thought into his brow Niwan.

Because, at the moment they penetrated the Domain Barrier.

Li Che seemed to feel an extreme and terrifying will, as if witnessing the chaotic spatial turbulence swirling in the void.
