As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1817: The Daughter of Prison Lotus and the Heavenly Slaughter Star Has a Father, Qi Tian Protector Devours Heaven and Earth Essence Qi

"Excellent, excellent, excellent. I eagerly await the moment you burst from the flesh ball and appear."

A hearty laugh erupted from Li Che.

In the next instant, he strode forward and materialized right next to Fang Hanshu.

"Great Elder, care to join me in visiting Qi Tian?"

Li Che inquired.

Fang Hanshu's eyes lit up at once with deep admiration and awe.

"Absolutely! We have to show our respects!"

"He's a Deity brought back to life!"

Li Che balled his fist and vanished from Mo City Fengdu, taking Fang Hanshu along.

...

Qitian Inner City.

Ruins had long claimed the area, with colossal fissures sprawling across the earth like a yawning chasm, utterly dark and bottomless, as though infernal fires raged below, mimicking the horrors of purgatory.

Qitian Inner City stood inside the Strange Que, right at the boundary between the Inner Mysterious Que and Outer Mysterious Que.

Without this event where powerhouses from diverse factions unveiled their ultimate might, exposing the aura that pinpointed Qitian Inner City's spot in the Strange Que, it would remain hidden.

Even the gods from various factions struggled to locate Qitian Inner City.

Furthermore, pinpointing Qitian Inner City's direction from the mortal realm proved arduous for Second Calamity Divine Tribulation Venerables, who rarely ventured into the human world, while Three Calamities Supreme beings seldom appeared there at all.

Thus, the mighty ones from every faction resorted to this approach to fix Qi Tian City's location.

Buzzing——

Li Che materialized in Qitian Inner City alongside Fang Hanshu.

An unseen force within the city gradually mended the wreckage and destruction of Qitian Inner City.

This resembled the mechanism in Mo City Fengdu.

"The power of the Great Dao—or the power of rules, if you prefer."

A raspy voice echoed from the top of Qitian Inner City's walls.

Old Monkey had shed his Golden Armor, red cloak, and thunder-woven Cloud Shoes, now clad in simple cloth robes, perched like an aged monkey watching the sunset, evoking the melancholy of one's final years.

Clearly, he had just savagely cut down Supremes and even shattered the presence of a god who appeared in person, the Six-winged Golden Cicada.

Yet now, he exuded an aura of impending doom.

A flicker of concern surfaced in Li Che's gaze—could Qi Tian's revival be merely temporary?

Li Che now realized the Great Sage Equalling Heaven belonged to the Prison Lotus Camp's deities, bolstering Xi Xi's safeguards with his presence.

However, should Qi Tian perish once more, Li Che doubted another resurrection was possible.

Old Monkey perched on Qitian Inner City's battlements, Ruyi Golden Cudgel planted nearby.

At that instant.

From Qitian Outer City to Qitian Inner City, all could behold Old Monkey's seated form.

All could spot that Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

Old Monkey detected Li Che and Fang Hanshu's auras.

His eyes shifted to Li Che, his hairy palm waving gently in invitation.

"Little brother, come over."

At those words, purple flames of Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame erupted above Li Che's head, blazing fiercely, while the Golden Skull shone with dazzling light.

With one step, he soared skyward, alighting on the city tower.

From the edge, he advanced toward the tower's heart.

Qitian Outer City.

Myriad cultivators erupted in commotion, countless stares practically tangible as they fixed on him.

Old Monkey regarded Li Che, his Golden Eyes blinking faintly.

Curiosity stirred.

The father of the Daughter of Prison Lotus?!

What an extraordinary man!

Incredible—the Daughter of Prison Lotus...

The Heavenly Slaughter Star... has a father?

This little brother's destiny is truly harsh.

Old Monkey grinned, lightly tapping the golden hoop rod beside him: "This rod is yours now; it has recognized your presence..."

Li Che stood stunned, hardly anticipating Qi Tian's willingness to bestow the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel upon him.

Old Monkey narrowed his eyes, fixing them on Li Che, and sighed:

"In this age of surging Divine Tide, the heavens and earth have transformed, divinity floods forth, and the Pure Martial path stands obstructed..."

"Yet you tread the Pure Martial way, ascending to Martial Immortal!"

"Remarkable, truly rare..."

"Those Supremes got smashed by yours truly, Old Sun; couldn't hold onto the rod for even a second... my fault, my fault."

"Thus, Old Sun owes you one..."

"I gift you this Ruyi Golden Cudgel. As your guardian, Old Sun will aid you in drawing in three thousand miles of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, propelling you into the genuine Martial Immortal Realm, perfecting the merge of your Martial Immortal Dao Essence."

"Shatter the boundaries, rend the chains of heaven and earth!"
