As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1654: Five Centuries of Watching Time—Immortal Artisan Ascends to Level 7, Myriad Forms Divine Machine Demon Ape Breaks Out From the Mountain...
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
The city gates required no siege whatsoever; a betrayer from inside had wrenched them apart by force!
The imperial forces surged inward without pause, cutting down foes as they advanced toward the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect’s mountain entrance.
Moreover, the imperial army swiftly assumed command over Guangling Dao City.
Boom——!!!
From the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's vicinity, robed Alchemy Masters plummeted down at great speed.
"Lord State Preceptor, our Sect Master Gu Changqing battled for the court and fell on the battlefield!"
"Why must the State Preceptor display such ruthlessness and assault our Heavenly Pill Divine Sect?"
These figures served as the senior elders of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect.
Fury blazed on every face, yet underneath the anger, traces of dread began to surface.
However, Xie Yushen gently fanned with his feather fan.Perched within the palanquin, he spoke a single command: "Kill."
This command stemmed from the Lord's conviction.
Xie Yushen merely had to execute the Lord's conviction.
The Lord, of course, understood the hardships the young lord endured during his time here.
The Lord cherished the young lord deeply, but these Heavenly Pill Divine Sect members plotted to seize him as a living ingredient for pill refinement; they merited death!
Grandmaster Huang Mei acted with fierce determination, his Buddha Light sharp as a blade, slashing downward in an instant. Right away, alchemists were run through and felled instantly beneath his Buddha Light.
The very moment Grandmaster Huang Mei initiated the slaughter.
A surge of horrified Qi erupted from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's mountain gate, resembling dark clouds that swelled and rippled outward in waves.
A colossal pill furnace rocketed into the sky.
In front of the pill furnace, a plump elderly man dressed in Daoist robes narrowed his eyes while emerging.
The Power of Disaster boomed and roared!
"Great Vista... What are you planning to do?!"
"Do you honestly think our Heavenly Pill Divine Sect lacks defenders?"
This figure was precisely the Grandmaster of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, Gu Yangxuan.
Behind Gu Yangxuan, the massive pill furnace's lid flipped open at once, and countless small pill furnaces the size of palms flew forth, growing larger mid-air. Their lids lifted, exposing twisted visages crammed within.
A thick medicinal aroma permeated the heavens and earth, tugging at the senses.
Xie Yushen remained utterly impassive, his eyes narrowing a bit, whereas Gu Qianchi at his side gazed upon Gu Yangxuan with revulsion; sword glow rang out sharply, ascending into the heavens.
Gu Yangxuan shot a look at Gu Qianchi, his face twisting in ugliness as vapors poured endlessly from the pill furnace at his back.
Not long prior, after forfeiting a top-tier human ingredient, Gu Yangxuan had raged uncontrollably.
And presently, with Xie Yushen leading the imperial army to storm the mountain and shatter the sect, striking straight at the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, it seemed Sect Master Gu Changqing's sacrifice meant nothing!
Gu Yangxuan narrowed his gaze: "Xie Yushen, do you truly believe our Heavenly Pill Divine Sect can be trampled so easily?"
"Relying solely on Gu Qianchi, plus a wounded Zhao Beidou, you aim to conquer our Heavenly Pill Divine Sect?"
Gu Yangxuan let out a cold laugh.
"Yin Xuan, arise—the time for Qi Tian City to unlock draws near, no more slumber..."
"The world must remember us, the Yin Yang duo, once again!"
...
...
Golden Light Prefecture.
Divine Carving Ridge.
Li Che remained seated in a cross-legged pose before the Extended Arm Heavenly Armor, persisting in altering the Mechanism Seal, much like a person enduring Blood Exchange—overhauling the Mechanism Seal amounted to renewing the full bloodstream of the Mechanical Beast.
Such an undertaking was monumental and demanded caution.
Additionally, each alteration to the Mechanism Seal drained Li Che’s Heaven and Earth Soul.
Luckily, thanks to the direct support of the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, the task of revising the Mechanism Seal proved manageable for Li Che.
As he worked on the seal.
Li Che also split his attention to monitor the conflict unfolding near Xie Yushen.
After all, should Xie Yushen succeed in subduing the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, it would mean seizing a vast trove of pills for Li Che.
Buzz buzz buzz——
The scene in his mind shifted.
Li Che gradually lifted his eyelids, his brows knitting together faintly: "Gu Yinxuan... the Grandmaster Yin Xuan of the Yin Yang duo, creator of the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill, master of such a deadly Heavenly Poison Pill?"
The Yin Yang duo...
Should the Yin Yang duo join forces, Xie Yushen’s present troops would indeed struggle to overcome them.
Thus...
Li Che smirked, a spectral gleam flickering in his eyes: "Perfect timing... time for Xiao Jiu to stretch her wings."
With a casual flick from his finger.
A chess piece radiating savage intensity dropped onto the board.
Having completed these steps.
Li Che directed his concentration back to the Extended Arm Heavenly Armor in front of him.
Boom——!!!
The Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit trembled with great force, and at last, every Mechanism Seal had been swapped out, with billions of them evolving into Wanxiang Nine Divine Seals!
Li Che sensed the bond between himself and this divine mechanism of the realm with perfect clarity.
Hmm?
Deep in the core of this divine mechanism, Li Che detected a slumbering awareness.
And as Li Che finished the seal overhaul, this slumbering awareness gradually stirred to life.
The awareness emerged, initially puzzled, then astonished, next enraged, and ultimately shifting into a hint of awe and a soft exhale.
"To actually replace my Tang Family Mechanism Seals with fresh ones..."
"These novel Mechanism Seals boast endless variations, truly exceptional... wonderful wonderful wonderful!"
Following the exhale, the awareness couldn't restrain its admiration.
Tang Family’s Ancestor?
Li Che’s mind stirred subtly, caught off guard.
"My Tang Family Mechanism... possesses an heir!"
"Hahahahaha——"
In the midst of the hearty guffaws, the concealed intent of the Tang Family’s Ancestor inside the mechanism sparked into flames, morphing into a majestic Dao Yun Power that swiftly enveloped the whole mechanism.
Tang Sanjia had hurried into the mountain's interior the instant the Tang Family’s Ancestor’s intent awakened.
