As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1616: Becoming the Family’s Pillar in Place of Father, Incinerating the Five Realms’ King Yan Ascends as Ghost Emperor

"I need to discover a method to fortify Xi Xi’s body..."

"That Indestructible Lotus Hell Sky Silk and the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring...they have to be prepared for Xi Xi."

"The Indestructible Lotus Hell Sky Silk resides in the Corpse God Cult’s main base...while the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring sits in the Dragon God Lineage’s sacred grounds, right on Ancestor Dragon Island..."

Li Che narrowed his eyes, a sudden realization striking him.

"Ancestor Dragon Island..."

"Hold on, with the Dragon God Lineage preparing to emerge onto land, doesn't that signal the Dragon God Clan intends to forsake Ancestor Dragon Island?"

"What's unfolding on Ancestor Dragon Island that's forcing the Dragon God Lineage to relinquish it?"

A subtle crease formed on his brow.

Questions swirling in his thoughts, he considered calling forth the Dragon God Crown Prince for answers, yet the prince remained by the Old Dragon God’s side now.

Summoning the Dragon God Crown Prince abruptly could lead to unwanted revelations.

"Never mind...no need to hurry yet."

"Once I convert the Old Dragon God into a Soul Capturing entity, the truth will come to light."

A faint glint passed through Li Che’s eyes.

Before long.

Qi Tian City stands on the verge of unveiling itself, with the Equal Heaven Temple’s legacy poised to emerge, drawing countless mighty figures eager to vie for this monumental chance at the edge of Inner Mysterious Que and Earth Deceit Que!

Masters from numerous Great Divine Sects, alongside experts from the Corpse God Cult, Western Regions Buddha Land, Wushen Mountain, and other factions—Divine Tribulation and Martial God powerhouses—will converge on Qi Tian City.

The imperial court, concealing its own Divine Tribulation and Martial God specialists, will dispatch them as well.

This activation of Qi Tian City might evolve into an epic showdown among the pinnacle experts across the human realm!

Martial Gods and Divine Tribulation Cultivators approaching their boundaries will stake everything in one final bid.

Much like that yielding Old Dragon God who ventured into Great Vista’s domain.

Thus, Li Che anticipated the Old Dragon’s unrest.

He aimed to swiftly handle the issues in Qianyuan Taoist City before heading to Qi Tian City.

"Rushing often leads to errors, exposing weaknesses..."

Li Che’s eyes shimmered briefly.

"Hoo—"

"Sigh—"

Seated properly in the study, Li Che drew in and released breaths, causing the divine essence around him to gradually intensify.

The Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal gripped in his palm steadily extracted divinity, and as the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart took shape, his rate of drawing divinity from the crystal accelerated.

With a mere intention, golden mist materialized, hovering in his view.

[Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (lv6, 40%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv7, 0%), Pure Heart (LV6, 88%), Chess Saint (LV6, 45%), Fairy in the Painting (lv6, 35%), Thunder Magnetic Dao Body (lv5, 80%), Dream Master (lv3, 95%), Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (lv5, 0%)]

Upon the Dao Tree, the progress of diverse Dao Fruits gradually displayed before him.

Gazing at the plentiful, mature fruits mirrored in his eyes, Li Che felt the edges of his lips lift subtly.

The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit’s ascent to Level 7 drew his attention for a moment longer.

Next, his focus moved and settled on the Thunder Magnetic Dao Body Dao Fruit, prompting a light furrow in his brow.

"Such a shame; even at the summit of the Mountain of Martial Arts, no Tribulation Thunder stirred since the Extreme Realm Tribulation Thunder had already been endured once."

"Still, upon parting the Heavenly Gate, it might finally summon the Tribulation Thunder."

No urgency.

Li Che’s sight shifted again, landing on the Dream Master Dao Fruit—this one, true to its title, felt ethereal and elusive, barely noticeable.

Li Che rarely made deliberate efforts to advance this Dao Fruit.

Primarily, he relied on the Dream Master Dao Fruit to weave dreamscapes for Xi Xi’s training, letting her progress in cultivation through slumber and sharpen her Martial Path.

For example, her Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant technique advanced rapidly under dream guidance.

"So near now...this Dao Fruit nears completion too; upon hitting lv4 and evolving, it’ll unleash the Dream Butterfly Divine Ability, potentially bringing back glimpses of Da Xixi..."

Li Che’s eyes gleamed.

He resolved to soon boost this Dao Fruit’s growth.

Regarding the last one, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, its progression surged at an impressive pace, especially since gathering Demon Energy for Li Che had become straightforward.

"As for this Old Dragon God, he’s a Divine Tribulation Realm Dragon God, his Demon Energy far surpasses that of the Dragon God Crown Prince enhanced by the Dragon Emperor Pearl!"

"I’m curious if it’ll propel the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor to lv6..."

A spark of eagerness stirred in his chest.

"It has to be from the Old Dragon!"

Li Che let out a long breath; his next major leap in cultivation hinged tightly on the Old Dragon God.

He stowed the Divine Crystal and ceased his practice.

Moderation in effort and repose marks true cultivation; exiting the study, Li Che spotted the Golden-haired Hou diligently instructing Zhang Ya in her training.

Zhang Ya dripped with sweat, her form rigid, Qi-Blood surging wildly—after ingesting the Nine-thousand-year Peach, its effects proved tremendous.

Though she hadn’t completely assimilated the peach’s essence yet.

Nevertheless, harboring a Nine Thousand-year-old Peach inside amplified her innate gifts indirectly, hastening her cultivation pace immensely.

She refused to lag behind.

Above all, the key motivation...

She yearned to match her husband’s stride, to conceive his heirs!

To present Xi Xi with a sibling!

Delicate snowflakes drifted softly, blanketing the yard in serene hush.

In the days that followed, Li Che avoided confining himself to the study for endless sessions, venturing out at times.

Engaging in drills, sipping tea, admiring the snowfall, following Emperor Xi Xi’s exploits in the jianghu...

Li Che savored a life brimming with contentment and joy.

Yet he knew these joyful moments neared their close.

With Qi Tian City’s awakening approaching, the Old Dragon God surely wouldn’t remain idle, rallying the imperial forces to shatter peaks and topple sects.
