As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1764: All Gods Arrive to Guard Equaling Heaven, Heart Monkey Fire Refines Dragon Elephant Immortal Seed to Major Accomplishment
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Beneath the Qitian Mask, Li Che's gaze slowly deepened with intensity.
The whole Inner City rested deep inside the Inner Mysterious Que. For reasons unknown, a subtle premonition of discomfort plagued Li Che. This discomfort surged with overwhelming force.
It felt like a massive dread was swiftly closing in from beyond the Inner City, originating from the profound depths of the Mysterious Que.
This warning stemmed from an acute crisis instinct, utterly terrifying, making one's spirit tremble instinctively in near-desperate fear.
Li Che chose not to rush off to join Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, and the rest right away.
Since it wasn't required, he intended to navigate the Inner City independently this time.
Besides, their objectives aligned perfectly, all aiming for that opulent palace perched on a modest hill at the heart of the Inner City.
While others might remain unaware, Li Che knew the truth: hidden inside that palace was a stone coffin containing the Heavenly Corpse.
Yet, the majority of formidable experts here differed from Li Che, a novice cultivator with minimal familiarity and ventures into the Mysterious Temple. These were seasoned veterans who had tackled numerous Mysterious Temple explorations, each carrying their own insights into such haunting realms.
As a grandmaster, Lv Qiankun stood out exceptionally, and even Fang Hanshu concealed vast mysteries, serving as a God Hunter Killer from the Hunting God Pavilion with cultivation at the Divine Tribulation Realm.
Hence, Li Che saw no real necessity to track down Lv Taibai and the others.
Regarding forming alliances to confront foes...
In truth, Li Che had advanced to a stage where he could confidently decide on alliances, thanks to the strength he commanded, which bolstered his resolve to stand firm and declare his stance.
Regrettably, though, Li Che currently lacked the means to slay that Two Calamities Demon God Venerable known as the Black Bear.
"This Inner City serves not just as the site of the Qi Tian Mysterious Temple, but also as the home of the inaugural Divine Sect, the Equal Heaven Temple, which has forfeited its legacy and resource reserves for five centuries."
A slight ripple crossed Li Che's thoughts, and with a casual flick of his finger, a dark chess piece before him warped and expanded swiftly, morphing into the deferential figure of the Night Bat Demon God.
"Lord!"
"We've arrived at the Inner City; now it's your turn to shine."
Li Che regarded the Night Bat and spoke with steady composure.
The Night Bat proclaimed his expertise in seeking out treasures.
Truth be told, Li Che himself excelled at treasure hunting too, thanks to the Heaven and Earth chessboard that allowed swift scans of various locales.
Still, he wasn't a specialist, lacking the sharp intuition for detecting treasures that the Night Bat possessed.
Naturally, should Li Che commit to a thorough hunt, he could employ the Heaven and Earth chessboard to probe every palace and uncover potential finds.
However, such efforts proved pointless and excessively draining on the mind, as well as cumbersome.
Therefore, he'd have the Night Bat Demon God pinpoint treasure spots first, then move in together for retrieval.
In this way, he aimed to dispatch the Night Bat ahead to locate the Equal Heaven Temple's inheritance and hidden resource troves.
"Fear not, my lord! The bat will take care of it all!"
The Night Bat Demon God brimmed with excitement—it was at last his moment to prove his worth to his master!
Li Che gave a faint nod, and the Night Bat Demon God spread his wings wide, darting off rapidly as ultrasonic waves emanated from him, pulsing outward in expanding rings and flooding every direction.
Earlier, the Night Bat Demon God had assumed a Soul Capturing guise, trailing the Black Bull Demon God Venerable as a covert saboteur. Yet, potent teleportation energies had torn them apart.
This separation explained why Li Che summoned the Night Bat Demon God so effortlessly.
With the Night Bat Demon God departed, Li Che's sight swept the area; spotting a palace with sealed entrances, he tapped the ground lightly with his foot and instantly propelled himself toward it.
The Inner City differed sharply from the Outer City in atmosphere.
The Mysterious Fog hung thicker, with divinity and Dao Yun blending vividly; it was evidently a genuine Mysterious Land.
Li Che sensed that here, his power could flow freely and manifest without limits.
He selected a palace, thrust the door open, and entered.
Dust billowed up as a structure sealed away for five hundred years finally welcomed daylight again.
This palace dated back to Qi Tian City's zenith, now scrutinized by Li Che's formidable Heaven and Earth Soul.
It had belonged to a Four-Transformation Peak Martial Saint; Li Che noticed a weapon stand holding a Divine Weapon. Despite centuries passed, the Divine Weapon still radiated divine glow, its quality flawless.
Furthermore, numerous jars and vials held elixirs, though most Dan Jade Bottles stood empty, evidently depleted by previous visitors.
Having swept the palace with his potent Heaven and Earth Soul, Li Che grasped its overall state.
Given the vast number of palaces in the Inner City, could each signify a Peak Martial Saint or a Great God at the Four Divine Changes level?
The deeper he pondered, the more plausible it seemed.
For in those days, the Equal Heaven Temple truly wielded such audacious might and wealth.
Back then, as the globe's premier Divine Sect, the Equal Heaven Temple boasted far more Divine Tribulation Cultivators and a sturdier base than any modern Divine Sect!
Legends spoke of how the Equal Heaven Temple's Inner City suddenly sealed itself, entombing the bulk of its leaders and sparking its decline, all while whispers persisted of the Inner City safeguarding the Equal Heaven Temple's inheritance.
At present, it appeared those tales held solid truth.
Yet, the Absolute Peak Martial Saint of this palace had vanished, perhaps transformed into a Cursed Corpse?
Li Che let out a soft sigh; the entire palace carried a musty aura of decay.
