As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1751: Divine Monkey Makes a Shining Entrance at Qitian Temple, Temple God Resonance—Three Knocks on the Monkey’s Head
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
A visage concealed beneath a golden-haired Divine Monkey mask drifted through the enigmatic mist, emerging into the sight of all present.
All were taken aback at first, yet following that momentary surprise, expressions of comprehension and inevitability surfaced on their countenances.
Emissaries from the Underworld...
Neither the Bull Demon, nor King Yan, nor the Ghost Emperor.
It is the Divine Monkey!
Indeed... it is the Divine Monkey!
The Divine Monkey who obtained the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod!
But, with the Divine Monkey's power...
Can it truly challenge these Divine Tribulation masters gathered here?!
Under myriad staring eyes.
The Divine Monkey stayed composed and steadfast, stepping forward into the limelight.
...
...
The subdued orange luminescence spread its warmth.
Within the eatery.
Xi Xi perched on a stool, clutching a hot, steamy big meat bun, munching away vigorously, her lips smeared with oil and cheeks bulging.
"Daddy must be joining this Temple God Resonance too, isn't he?"
Xi Xi blinked her eyes, mumbling around a mouthful of baozi.
She wondered what her father appeared like during the Temple God Resonance. She recalled her own participation in the Third Prince Temple's Temple God Resonance at Golden Light Prefecture, when her heart had raced with tension.
Nevertheless, during that time, Xi Xi believed that her father's unwavering support from the rear had greatly eased her anxiety.
That particular Temple God Resonance had etched itself deeply into Xi Xi's memory.
After all... she had nearly succumbed to the Third Prince Temple God's lure to return her bones to her father and her flesh to her mother.
As a result, Xi Xi harbored no fond feelings for the Temple God Resonance, though she couldn't deny the abundance of valuable rewards it offered.
Such as the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, the God-beating Gold Brick she gripped, and the Divine Cultivation Method etched in her thoughts...
All of them were legacies bestowed by the Temple God!
Hence, Xi Xi yearned for her father to secure some benefits from this Temple God Resonance as well.
Xi Xi realized too that leaving her at the proprietor's eatery allowed her father to immerse himself completely in the Temple God Resonance.
Xi Xi proved quite well-behaved, savoring the meals and beverages here, without hindering her father in the slightest!
"Go, Daddy, go!"
Xi Xi lifted her big meat bun high, performing a cheering salute.
Her tiny feet dangled crossed, swaying joyfully, utterly satisfied.
The proprietor occupied a seat, preparing a fresh brew of hot tea, taking delicate sips.
Lord Dog sprawled on the floor, his dark coat shimmering faintly under the low light.
The proprietor savored his tea, Xi Xi devoured her baozi, and Gouzi reclined on the ground, basking in the glow.
In stark contrast to the fierce upheavals shaking Qi Tian City with the Temple God Resonance's commencement.
The eatery exuded a serene detachment from worldly affairs.
...
...
Great Vista, Divine Capital.
Divine Capital Second City.
Octagonal Double-eave Water Tower of Qintian Treasure Tower.
The ninth level of the Treasure Tower.
The whole ninth level expanded into infinite expanse, the Mystic Turtle reclined upon the floor, draped in a Grand Supervising Minister’s robe that billowed on its shell, sitting in quiet meditation, his features distorted by bending space.
Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen, the pair of Assistant Directors, positioned themselves wordlessly at the entrance to the Ninth City of the Treasure Tower.
Abruptly.
A silhouette glided inward.
Donned in a vivid yellow robe, crowned with a golden treasure diadem, adorned with Divine Dragon and Divine Phoenix motifs, he advanced unhurriedly, exuding a crushing aura that caused Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen's faces to shift subtly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen's gazes sharpened, casting astonished looks at the Emperor's arrival on the ninth floor of the Qintian Observatory Treasure Building.
The Emperor exuded a commanding presence, though his countenance remained vague, he seemed utterly transformed from his former self.
The Emperor positioned his hands behind him, descending with his golden boots, sending faint ripples through the space.
"Your Majesty, absent the Chief Supervisor’s approval, unauthorized entry is forbidden."
Fang Shangzhen, despite her astonishment at the Emperor’s altered bearing, moved to intercept him nonetheless.
"Insolence."
The Emperor uttered calmly, his tone resounding like a massive bell.
A formidable Will of Heaven and Earth crashed into Fang Shangzhen’s psyche, draining the color from her face, as though an immense force was on the verge of overwhelming her.
Yet, a soft divine energy enveloped her.
Fang Shangzhen sensed only a vast cushion of yielding cotton bolstering her from behind.
She recognized this as the Chief Supervisor's influence.
"Your Majesty, if you insist on entering, then proceed."
The Chief Supervisor’s voice echoed from within the Ninth City.
The Emperor’s vivid yellow robe fluttered as he marched into the ninth-story chamber.
As though traversing a gateway, the surroundings instantly grew immensely spacious, resembling a perch atop the clouds, the world extending without bounds.
The Chief Supervisor, astride the Mystic Turtle, regarded the Emperor with steady composure.
The Emperor’s features brimmed with divine essence and vital qi-blood, whereas the Chief Supervisor’s were warped by spatial distortion...
"Chief Supervisor... you foresaw that the one who claimed the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod could disrupt my realm and throw my Great Vista... into turmoil?"
"I arrive this day, especially, Your Majesty, to demonstrate... with my present cultivation and the authority I wield now, who... would dare unsettle my Great Vista!"
The Emperor stood with hands clasped behind, declaring icily.
The moment his statement concluded.
The Emperor flung his arms wide, unleashing a dreadful aura from within.
The Chief Supervisor, perched upon the Mystic Turtle, observed with impassive eyes across his contorted visage.
As though beholding an amusing spectacle.
...
...
Li Che, donned in the Divine Monkey Mask, shouldering the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod, strolled casually from the fog-shrouded far end of the thoroughfare in Qi Tian City.
Beneath the gaze of every onlooker, he staged a dazzling debut.
As if the radiance he had craved since youth now burst into tangible existence.
With the mask in place, Li Che’s mindset had shifted profoundly.
Naturally, it felt a bit unusual; previously in Golden Light Prefecture, it was Xi Xi who had engaged in the Temple God Resonance, marking Li Che’s initial brush with it.
