As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1648: Seven-Year-Old Xi Xi Ascends as Qian Yuan Sect Master, Tang’s Divine Machine Extended Arm Heavenly Armor

Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...

Li Che received a letter from Great Elder Jiao Shaoqiu, fulfilling Tang Sanjia's request to return to Golden Light Prefecture and repair the family's mechanical beasts once he mastered the necessary techniques. Sharing the news with his wife Zhang Ya, they decided to wait for their daughter Xi Xi's return before journeying there as a family, cherishing the site's precious memories. Lv Taibai returned from his breakthrough into the Divine Tribulation Realm, overflowing with gratitude to Li Che for contacting the Underworld, whose intervention— including from the Earthly Ghost Emperor—had shielded the Qian Yuan Divine Sect from devastating court army assaults. With Xie Yunshen withdrawn and Qi Tian City on the verge of reopening to unleash ancient inheritances from the Equal Heaven Temple, Lv Taibai prepared to escort the ailing Grandmaster into the perilous domain, where the world's unyielding Will of Heaven loomed like an eternal blade.

Lv Taibai shook his head slowly.

His eyes shifted to Li Che: "A Che, I've just advanced to the Divine Tribulation Realm... For most days ahead, I'll have to retreat into the Strange Que, since that's the only place where I can further my cultivation, thus the role of Qian Yuan Divine Sect Master... maybe once Xi Xi comes back from her training, we'll need to finalize the handover."

"Xi Xi, serving as the Young Sect Master, and I, holding the Sect Master title, both must relinquish our posts. Of course, she ought to inherit it..."

Li Che froze for a second at Lv Taibai's declaration.

What?!

"Xi Xi's merely seven years old..." Li Che muttered, pursing his lips.

A seven-year-old leading the Divine Sect...

It certainly carries a thrilling ring, yet doesn't it come a bit prematurely?

In the end, the child remains quite immature.

Lv Taibai chuckled: "Does her age of seven matter? Xi Xi's fighting strength isn't feeble at all; thanks to the Mechanical Techniques you've passed on to her, she holds her own against a Martial Saint... Furthermore, with you and Old Fang supporting the young one in the Divine Sect, stability is well assured."

"In particular, you, my sly fellow... I can't quite fathom your depths anymore."

"Your presence ensures the Underworld's might can be called upon, smoothly securing Xi Xi's claim to the Sect Master seat."

"On top of that, I'm far from gone; I simply must seclude myself in the Strange Que or a Small Cave Heaven, much like the Grandmaster, to refine the essence of Disaster and Tribulation."

"This Sect Master position will fall to the little one eventually, be it now or later—it's all the same."

"Her power may fall short currently, but that's due to her youth. This Xi Xi, her potential stretches boundlessly, more than ready to helm the Qian Yuan Divine Sect."

"Should anyone in the sect object, I'll set them straight."

Lv Taibai swept back his wide sleeves that hid the gusts within and let out a soft laugh.

Li Che smiled faintly upon hearing this: "You're right; the Qian Yuan Divine Sect stands at its zenith now, backed by the Grandmaster, the Sect Master, myself, Old Fang, and the rest... honestly, the girl can just serve as a symbolic Sect Master in the meantime."

"Hahaha, a mascot? That's a spot-on way to put it."

Lv Taibai roared with laughter.

"Once the girl finishes her training and returns, we'll conduct the ceremony for her to assume the Sect Master role, and some key inheritances must be handed over to her."

Li Che's eyes gleamed as he regarded Lv Taibai; after a brief pause, he inquired: "Sect Master, with the Qian Yuan Divine Sect now guarded by two Divine Tribulation experts—the Grandmaster at the One Calamity and Two Tribulations Realm, plus yourself—our standing among the Dajing Eleven Divine Sects ought to climb significantly, no?"

Lv Taibai narrowed his eyes at those words: "It will... we'd likely enter the top five at least, though reaching the top three seems unlikely."

"The Purple Mansion Divine Sect under the Heavenly Master Dao, the Little Lingyin Temple of the Xiling Road, and the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South Sea Dao... in my view, these three Divine Sects hold the true top spots, each overseen by at least two Divine Tribulations or Martial Gods."

"And the Purple Mansion Divine Sect of the Heavenly Master Dao undoubtedly boasts more than a pair of Divine Tribulations."

Lv Taibai's tone grew grave.

"The Purple Mansion Divine Sect's path intertwines with the Temple God in harmony and unity... they draw upon the Temple God's blessings for their power, fueling a swift ascent... moreover, as the most ancient Divine Sect, the Purple Mansion endured through the Equal Heaven Temple's prime, never faltering as a force."

Lv Taibai's face turned utterly serious as he referenced the Purple Mansion Divine Sect.

At the Chulong Victory Conference, Xi Xi had slain the Purple Mansion Divine Sect's initial Chulong, Zhang Yunlong, forging an enmity that now runs deep.

Indeed, the Imperial Court orchestrated the Flat Peach Victory Meeting partly to sow divisions and grudges among the Divine Sects, thwarting any united front.

"With Qi Tian City opening this time, the Purple Mansion Divine Sect... won't remain idle; they might even seek to revive the Equal Heaven Temple's splendor!" Lv Taibai stated with firm conviction.

"The splendor of the Equal Heaven Temple?"

Li Che narrowed his gaze.

Lv Taibai's silver locks whipped fiercely: "Yes, the splendor where half the world's Qi Fortune converged in Equal Heaven!"

"The Strange Fog within the Strange Que stirs restlessly, the Imperial Court permits Xie Yushen to raze mountains and shatter sects in pursuit of Qi Fortune, and Divine Sects such as the Purple Mansion, Little Lingyin Temple, and South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest will surely act as well."

Li Che's expression shifted subtly at this revelation.

Gathering Qi Fortune?

Isn't that precisely the task he's assigned to Xie Yushen?

This Qi Fortune...

The Imperial Court claims it, the Purple Mansion seizes it, the Little Lingyin Temple pursues it...

So why not let the Underworld claim its share too?

...

Lv Taibai lingered only briefly in the courtyard, his aura pulsing and stirring the Heaven and Earth Will ceaselessly.

Lv Taibai had forged the Three Calamities Dao Position, and upon ascending to Divine Tribulation, he had embraced the tribulation via the Destruction God Wind Dao Position.

Like fellow Divine Tribulations, they endure the One Disaster One Tribulation, yet their Dao Position aligns with the ensuing tribulations.

However, Lv Taibai's Dao Position binds to the disasters; the Three Disasters surpass the Nine Tribulations, granting him an edge in Dao Yun and the Power of Disaster and Tribulation over a typical Divine Tribulation.

Ascending to Divine Tribulation demands three key steps: first, forging the Dao Position; once set, the tribulation follows, and success opens the Small Cave Heaven, marking the breakthrough's triumph...

Forming the Dao Position resembles seeking entry to the tribulation, the right to join the Divine Tribulation ranks, akin to inscribing oneself in the Heaven and Earth Will, ascending among the divine.

From Lv Taibai, Li Che gleaned much insight.

Just as the Old Dragon God, within the Small Cave Heaven, pits one against seven in the One Disaster One Tribulation Realm—and prevails—this stems from cultivating the Ancestor Dragon Tribulation, embodying the Ancestor Dragon Dao Position; in the Dragon God path, the Three Ancestor Dragon Tribulations mirror the Three Disasters...
