As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1563: Above Martial Saint Lies Martial Immortal, and I Walk on Thin Ice, Preferring to Backstab

A single thought flickered in his mind.

In that heartbeat, Li Che’s consciousness entered Mo City Fengdu. Without him noticing, the city—which had previously been shattered by the collision of terrifying powers—had been fully restored.

Though a few individual structures were still in the process of being mended,

The overall foundation had returned to its former stability.

It had actually gained more durability than before the explosion. Through this cycle of destruction and reconstruction, the resilience of Mo City continued to grow stronger.

Swish, swish, swish—

A gentle breeze carried ink-colored rain, scattering it across the many rebuilt edifices of the city. It looked much like the misty drizzle over Jiangnan on a somber afternoon.

Feeling quite refreshed, Li Che took a deep breath. With a flick of his finger, several Immortal Avatars of Painting began to manifest one after another.

Deep within his chest, the [Immortal Artisan] Dao Fruit started to throb.

Li Che produced various materials, allowing his avatars—guided by the resonance of the Dao Fruit—to begin the development of the Supreme Mechanism Beast.

Even though the combat strength of this Supreme Mechanism Beast was merely at the peak level,

Li Che didn’t care about its fighting power; he only valued the maturity it granted to his Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit.

To further the progress of the Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit, he had to focus on improving both his Divine Sculpture and Mechanism techniques.

“Above the rank of Divine Sculpture Master, there ought to be a higher path of advancement. However... in this mundane world, I have likely reached the ceiling.”

“Perhaps one must venture into the Strange Que to find the way forward.”

“The statues of the Temple Gods often surpass the quality of a Holy Hand Divine Sculpture...”

Li Che’s eyes gleamed. Having attained the peak of a Divine Sculpture Master, he realized this was not the true limit of the craft.

With another thought,

He manifested a Divine Sculpture Mechanism Tower within Mo City.

Watching dozens of his Immortal Avatars enter the tower to diligently research the Supreme Mechanism Beast, Li Che felt a sense of profound satisfaction. He stepped lightly, shattering the wind and rain as he departed Mo City.

Once back in his study,

He first commanded the Immortal Avatar wandering within the Divine Sect to locate Fang Hanshu. He placed another request for a batch of alchemy resources to refine pills. Fang Hanshu seemed to have expected this, having already prepared the materials for him.

After securing the resources and handing them over to Gu Changqing, the Divine Pill Saint for Soul Capturing, Li Che finally ceased his busy work.

“I’ve been Cultivating for so long without realizing it. I find myself missing my daughter,” Li Che whispered.

He poured a cup of steaming tea, and suddenly, his heart stirred with a subtle intuition.

Through the Heaven and Earth chessboard, images of Xi Xi’s training journey were instantly transmitted back to him.

...

...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The cold wind howled as the snow fell in heavy waves.

Wearing ram-horn pigtails and dressed in vibrant red attire, Xi Xi resembled a flickering flame as she sprinted across the frozen plains.

“Xi Xi, slow down a bit!”

Jin Taixui trailed silently behind her, exerting every effort to maintain her pace.

Meanwhile, Little Fatty Zhou Peng was gasping for air, his body drenched in sweat despite the cold.

Yun E, her face obscured by a white veil, floated gracefully. Though only her eyes and brows were visible, they were as exquisite as a fine painting, possessing a breathtaking beauty.

“You’re the only one complaining about the speed! Move faster, Guangling Dao City is just ahead! We’re going to take a look!”

Xi Xi stood with her hands on her hips, her small belly thrust out and her brows arched as she glared at Little Fatty Zhou Peng.

It was always Zhou Peng complaining of exhaustion; with such an attitude, how could he ever hope to survive the trials of the martial world?

Zhou Peng didn't take offense. Instead, he grinned, pulled a bun from his Qiankun Jade, and began devouring it hungrily.

“Xi Xi, why are we visiting Guangling Dao City? Didn’t Elder Li tell us to deliver the mechanisms to the True Martial Divine Sect?”

“We really should head there directly...” Zhou Peng mumbled around a mouthful of food.

Xi Xi, acting like a little firecracker, snapped back: “We are out here for training! Of course the mechanisms must reach the True Martial Divine Sect... but if we just rush the whole time, how is that training?”

“Besides, do you even know why we were sent out early?!”

Xi Xi took a sharp breath, her red robes snapping in the wind.

Zhou Peng went quiet instantly. How could he not know the reason?

“The Divine Sect was besieged by the imperial army, so Elder Li sent us away... It’s a precaution. If the Sect is ever overrun by the court, we are the ones who will carry on the legacy of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect,” Zhou Peng said mournfully, stuffing three more buns into his mouth to hide his sadness.

The mood turned somber.

After several days of traveling, the four children had crossed multiple cities and finally reached the outskirts of Guangling Dao City.

Xi Xi stomped her foot, causing the snow to explode as scorching Qi-Blood radiated from her small frame.

“Why are you so sad? My father is at the Sect, so nothing will happen. Even the Sect Master is incredibly powerful! How could we lose?”

“On the day of the siege, did you hear about the other Divine Sects that came to support us?”

Xi Xi narrowed her eyes. Her usually bright gaze took on a sharp, cat-like intensity, radiating a dangerous aura.

She raised her hand, counting them off on her fingers: “The Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, Bashu Sword Pavilion, Dragon Tiger Divine Sect, Haoran Academy, and the Seven Treasures Divine Sect...”

Then, Xi Xi pointed toward the distant, snowy silhouette of Guangling Dao City.

“The Heavenly Pill Divine Sect is located right there in Guangling Dao City! Hmph! They dared to try and destroy my Qian Yuan Divine Sect. As the Young Sect Master, how can I just let that slide?”

Xi Xi huffed, her hands on her hips and her cheeks puffed out in indignation.

Yun E remained quiet for a moment, gently petting the white rabbit she held. “Xi Xi, what are you planning to do?”
