As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1672: As a Soul Capturing God, You’re Teaching Me? Gathering Qi Fortune to Form the Twelve-Petal Mountain and River Golden Lotus [Monthly Ticket]...
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
"I absolutely won't disappoint my lord!"
"That said, my lord... the more advanced the poison pill's rank, the higher the cultivation level it demands... I must boost my own cultivation!"
"The Ninth Heaven Poison Pill ranked next [Three-legged Golden Toad Pendant] can be refined by me right now, since my cultivation stands at the One Calamity and Two Tribulations realm... Yet the one after that, the eighth-ranked [Thousand Bone Centipede Powder], demands I advance to One Disaster and Three Tribulations, or else the poison will claim my life..."
Gu Yinxuan explained.
Upon hearing those words, Li Che shifted his gaze toward him.
All across Mo City, the agonized shrieks of Gu Yangxuan rang out as he was torn apart and consumed...
"Refine it then, court death if you must—perhaps perishing will lead to your breakthrough, much like Gu Changqing's success with the initial Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill."
"Moreover, advancing in Soul Capturing proves far simpler than you'd think."
"Stay calm, no need to hurry."
At these words, Gu Yinxuan bowed with clasped hands and inclined his head, a brief haze clouding his mind...
Indeed, at this point... death held no terror for him anymore.
Was it possible that these poison pills, beyond his current cultivation grasp, could truly be mastered by wagering one's very existence?
Li Che paid no further mind to Gu Yinxuan, instead gathering three Four Imperial Taoist Divine Crystals along with ten Lower Three Pure Ones Divine Crystals.
He set aside the alchemy materials for Gu Changqing's use.
As the Poison Saint, Gu Yinxuan shone in crafting poison pills, though he lagged somewhat in standard elixir production.
Despite ascending to half-immortal status as a pill master via poison refinements, when it came to ordinary elixirs, he fell short of Gu Changqing's prowess.
In this way, the duo—one of righteous path, the other of wicked—fulfilled every demand Li Che had for alchemy.
With a mere flicker of intent, Li Che departed from Underworld Fengdu.
...
...
Guangling Dao City.
The toxic mist had fully cleared, leaving no trace behind.
Gu Qianchi fixed his stare on Mo City Fengdu, utterly baffled as the Underworld Fengdu's entrance gradually dissolved from view.
What had become of Gu Yinxuan and Gu Yangxuan?
Had death taken them?
Yet no upheavals stirred in heaven and earth as would signal their demise, so they lived on. But where to?
Had they fled the scene?
Tension gripped Gu Qianchi's frame, the dread inspired by the Poison Saint Gu Yinxuan proving immense...
Fortune smiled on him for staying out of the fray; even a brush with that venom could have inflicted grave wounds.
Xie Yushen's gaze sparkled meanwhile, as Li Che's message reached him in an instant, revealing Gu Yangxuan's total rout—reduced to sustenance for hordes of half-step Divine Tribulations, elite peaks, and more...
These would serve as vital elixirs, propelling countless Soul Capturers toward their breakthroughs.
Heavenly Pill Divine Sect...
Lay in ruins!
Though now a Soul Capturer himself, Xie Yushen's convictions endured. He battled now for his lord, toppling sects in conquest!
No longer did he serve Great Vista alone, but his lord above all...
Hence, the triumphant assault and demolition of a Great Divine Sect, seizing its full fortune, filled Xie Yushen with elation!
Buzz——
Gu Qianchi descended elegantly to Xie Yushen's side, grasping the turn of events right then.
Xie Yushen alighted from his sedan, fanning himself softly with a feather fan while clad in flowing crane robes.
He advanced at an unhurried pace, trailed silently by Grandmaster Huang Mei.
Together, they ascended toward the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect.
Battered by Gu Yinxuan's treachery, countless disciples of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect perished from poisoning, with just a handful of alchemy masters enduring thanks to their antidote pills.
Martial Saints, Divine Fetuses, and fellow cultivators clung to life by a thread.
The rest faced total annihilation.
With a gentle flick of his feather fan, Xie Yushen signaled the imperial troops to seize and restrain the remnant cultivators of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect.
Xie Yushen proceeded straight to the Sect Master Peak of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect.
He positioned himself atop the main peak's broad platform.
Dark clouds churned wildly, while flakes of white snow danced through the air.
Xie Yushen approached the cliff's brink, mounting the summit to survey all of Guangling Dao City below.
"We've struck down a sect—the premier divine sect, now obliterated!"
Xie Yushen proclaimed in a resounding voice.
His declaration ignited the court army into fervor, as they thrust high their weapons and spears, bellowing in triumphant zeal.
To the court forces, this clash... marked a thrill beyond measure!
Victory had at last arrived.
Another defeat would have plunged them into existential despair.
But under the State Preceptor's command, a divine sect dominating an entire dao path had fallen!
Xie Yushen drew forth a petite tripod from his Qiankun Jade, then produced a gourd brimming with stored Rain Root Water.
Once the small tripod brimmed with Rain Root Water,
Xie Yushen withdrew a pace, launching into the ritual of three bows and nine prostrations, as though revering the heavens and earth, interrogating the peaks and streams!
Rumble——
In the instant that followed, amid the stunned stares of Gu Qianchi and his companions,
The small tripod quivered faintly, seeming to rouse the whole mountain gateway of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect into tremor.
Peaks shuddered, rivers trembled, gusts of air swirled in turbulent surges!
Across the realm, myriad raindrops fractured and hazed over.
Within the small tripod, a golden lotus then unfurled gradually.
This Golden Lotus blossomed amid heaven and earth, undulating with poise, for it embodied the fortune amassed by the entire Heavenly Pill Divine Sect!
Thus, the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's fortune had coalesced into the Luck Golden Lotus!
Great Vista's Eleven Paths fortune—one path reclaimed!
...
...
Divine Capital.
First City.
Boom boom boom boom——
Palace Temple, Cloud Palace.
The grand edifice towered imposingly, radiating splendor and majesty!
The Emperor occupied the throne, the Empress seated elegantly nearby, while officials arrayed below, gripping white jade scepters and bowing low in deference.
As tolling bells echoed from afar, delight flickered in the Emperor's eyes, veiled by his divine aura.
He rose abruptly, his golden robes billowing, gaze alight with intensity as he turned toward the Second City in the Divine Capital, site of the Lotus Pavilion.
