As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1710: Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit 5 Sheds Primordial Water Tribulation, Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint Qi Tian Mysterious Temple

Yet Ji Liqing could never have imagined that right after Ji Moli's demise and the strange signs from the Divine Tribulation, the demon offspring Wei Yuan from the Corpse God Cult would abruptly appear in the Royal Mansion.

"Intrusion?"

"You haven't the slightest clue about the events..."

"Ji Moli is gone, simply gone, yet do you realize the idiotic act he committed?"

"He went and squandered six Corpse God Marks, leading to the demise of our cult's painstakingly nurtured six Corpse Gods by entrapment!"

Wei Yuan's tone turned rougher and far more chilling!

In the instant that followed.

Dreadful death Qi along with Corpse Qi erupted from his dark robe!

"Ji Moli... what an utter failure!"

"His lineage has been squandered in vain like this."

"The Cult Leader intended to hold off until the Martial Path reached Martial God... before consuming Ji Moli entirely! Gulping down his flesh and bones, his Dao Soul, his bloodline, and every bit of his Blood Soul from his entire form!"

"All to enable the Great Corpse God to fully revive and descend upon us!"

"Yet he perished so pointlessly, and even forfeited the invaluable Corpse God Seal belonging to our cult!"

"He truly merited death, what a complete waste!"

Wei Yuan's words chilled to an unfathomable degree, as waves of Death Qi crashed down savagely, grotesque and swollen flesh emerged, hideously repulsive, a monstrous corpse god hybrid with four twisting heads materialized inside King Ping Luan's Royal Mansion.

"Both of you still carry remnants of Ji Moli's bloodline and Blood Soul essence..."

"Hand it over now!"

Boom—

Horrific blasts exploded right away from King Ping Luan's Royal Mansion!

Ji Liqing and Ji Lihong's agonized cries ripped through the heavens in that moment.

...

...

"Daddy, rest easy, we'll act properly."

Xi Xi cocked her head, flashing an adorable and compliant grin.

Yun E and Zhou Peng mirrored her expression with matching smiles, fully at ease now that they'd shifted into Soul Capturing form.

This Soul Capturing granted them renewed existence, a liberated one free from the Temple God's bindings.

The pair brimmed with joy; Yun E's usual icy demeanor returned with the Temple God's exit, while Zhou Peng could finally stop stuffing his face endlessly.

Sure, the lingering effects of the Temple God might linger a bit, yet those were manageable.

It resembled a mere routine, and if it bothered them, shaking off that routine was straightforward.

Li Che gazed at these young ones with a touch of exasperation.

Following a half-day of heated talks, Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, and Fang Hanshu, together with Li Che, settled on a plan for the four kids' forthcoming training.

Instead of rushing straight north to the True Martial Divine Sect on Tongyou Road.

They opted to detour to Qi Tian City first, allowing the children to broaden their horizons and face some trials.

Li Che found it impossible to fend off the charms of little Xi Xi's wheedling.

"Daddy, let Xi Xi explore the world~"

Xi Xi pursed her lips, tugging at Li Che's arms with both hands, swinging them back and forth, her wide eyes brimming with eagerness, a hint of complaint, and deep yearning...

This marked the very first occasion his daughter had ever played up to him like this since she was small.

In the end, Li Che relented.

Mostly since he trusted his ability to safeguard Xi Xi's well-being.

Should the situation sour, he could simply deposit her in Mo City and whisk them away via Flying Thunder.

As for fleeing, Li Che believed no one in this realm could outpace him.

Even facing a Second Calamity Divine Tribulation Cultivator, Li Che was sure he could ensure Xi Xi's quick getaway.

In the final analysis, after conferring with Lv Taibai and the rest, Li Che consented to the young ones' plea.

Buzz—

Lv Taibai called forth the Taibai Sword, a silver gleam shooting skyward, swiftly swelling into an enormous flying sword.

Slicing through the clouds, Lv Taibai showcased his prized skill to his treasured disciple with pride.

Sword Qi raged wildly as the group departed Luoyun City, resuming their journey, speeding swiftly toward Qi Tian City in Jianzhou's Wenling Prefecture.

Within mere hours, they'd reached the edges of Wenling Prefecture.

The moment they crossed into Wenling Prefecture, a fearsome demonic aura permeated the skies and lands, twisting everywhere!

Perched cross-legged atop the flying sword, Li Che clutched a Divinity Crystal from the Lower Three Pure Ones, his eyes snapping open with swirling odd hues.

"This demonic energy is staggeringly thick..."

Lv Taibai muttered in astonishment.

"Far thicker than it was five centuries back..."

Fang Hanshu gravely agreed with a nod: "Qi Tian City's unveiling draws in not just Great Vista, but the whole realm."

"The demon race began scheming five hundred years prior. Those odd demon caves in the All Gods Camp linked up with the demons ages ago..."

"Word has it that among those dwelling in Qi Tian City today... there could lurk a horrifying Two Disasters Demon God!"

Fang Hanshu's ominous remark prompted Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, and the others to betray subtle shifts in their faces.

"A Two Disasters Demon God?!"

Li Che, upon catching that, voiced his own shock.

Xi Xi and the other youths had craned their necks, hanging on every word.

"How could a being at the Two Disasters Realm even manifest in the mortal realm? Wouldn't it face the immediate clamp of the Heaven and Earth Will's Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations the second it shows?"

Li Che inquired.

Fang Hanshu shot Li Che a look, catching a flicker in his gaze. Had his true nature been exposed?

But before Fang Hanshu could respond.

It was the reticent Grandmaster Lv Qiankun, quiet for most of the trip, who broke in: "Qi Tian City... stands apart from everywhere else..."

"The Yi Tian Temple's Strange Que lies where the Inner and Earth Deceit Que converge, and the thick Mysterious Fog it releases envelops all of Qi Tian City, turning it into something like a Strange Que."

"Naturally, it differs a tad from an actual Strange Que, since Qi Tian City connects straight to both the Inner and Earth Deceit Que..."

"Still, it's no genuine Strange Que; merely the mirage from the excessively heavy Mysterious Fog."

"That said, the Mysterious Fog itself is authentic. While it can't fully bypass the Heaven and Earth Calamity like a real Strange Que, it does substantially dilute the grip of the Heaven and Earth Will's Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations."

Lv Qiankun's expression grew profoundly stern and weighty.

Li Che grasped the underlying cause. Small wonder so many powerhouses converged on Qi Tian City.

The Yi Tian Temple was itself a Divine Sect erected over a Three Pure Bizarre Temple, now fallen into ruin with the Mysterious Temple in turmoil, nearly swallowing up the whole of Qi Tian City...

"The demons assert that the Qi Tian Temple God sprang from their kind, seizing Qi Tian City under some excuse long ago. Of course, Great Vista refuses to abandon it... Rumors say a Great Vista Royal Family elder holds position in Qi Tian City, though the demons hold a slight edge in strength there."

"Over the past five centuries, Qi Tian City has effectively turned into a demonic stronghold..."

"Thus, stepping into Qi Tian City this time carries real peril."

Fang Hanshu supplemented.

As the discussion paused.

The Taibai Sword cleaved through the heavens, revealing amid the hills and marshes a splendid and imposing city, veiled in swirling gray fog, standing vast and lavish in the distance!

Li Che's eyes flickered open and shut, igniting with the most intense glow.

His sight locked onto Qi Tian City.

Inside his right arm.

The Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod quivered without cease, on the verge of unleashing a dazzling radiance, as though fusing as one with that very city.

And in the Inner Scene of the Energy Center, the Heaven and Earth chessboard unfurled wide.

The [Equal to Heaven’s Face] hovering over the chessboard appeared nearly animated!

As if itching to shatter free from the Heaven and Earth chessboard, morphing into a True Ape to unleash a thunderous, fearsome bellow at Qi Tian City!

Across the heavens and earth.

The immense demonic energy, the sea-vast divinity, the formidable Dao Yun...

Entwined together, hazy and surreal.

Li Che remained seated cross-legged on the flying sword.

He lifted his hand to tap his forehead.

His skin parted asunder.

Star Plucking Pupil!

Direct stare!

Boundless scrutiny, Piercing through Deception to Reveal Reality!
