As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1876: Xi Xi Attains Martial Saint, Sudden Earth-Shattering Upheaval! Heaven and Earth Ordain an Inescapable Fate
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Illuminated by the glow of countless Treasure Beads embedded in the Imperial Mausoleum’s roof, banishing the darkness, the temple interior blazed with light.
Wisps of smoke curled from ancestral tablets placed on the altar, while candle flames flickered, casting dancing shadows.
The Emperor’s frigid declaration resounded, ensnaring the mausoleum’s atmosphere in a chilling abyss that pierced to the very soul.
Bowing deeply, Mr. Lian dared not lift his head, his breath caught in his throat as if assailed by the Emperor’s palpable fury.
Slowly, the eyes of the Black Robed Sage, concealed within his dark robes, opened, revealing a hint of a chilling smile.
It was evident the Emperor had been cornered; under normal circumstances, the Emperor of Dajing, with his usual disposition, would have likely prolonged the deliberation.
The Emperor’s reluctance to relinquish the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner, a Divine Weapon vital to the Dajing Royal Family, stemmed from its irreplaceable significance.
His initial strategy was to await the Ghost Emperor’s inevitable burnout. However, after three long months… the Ghost Emperor showed no signs of extinguishing.
Furthermore, the Emperor’s imperial dignity felt affronted by Lv Taibai’s invitation, conveyed through Sword Intent, to the inheritance ceremony, compelling him to make a decisive move.
“Your Majesty… has finally reached a resolution.”
The Black Robed Venerable slowly ascended from the ground, an imposing aura radiating from his form, distorting the very fabric of the void as if it were on the brink of collapse.
The dragon motifs adorning the Emperor’s imperial yellow robe seemed to awaken, their divine eyes, imbued with the essence of Dao, cast an indifferent glance upon the Black Robed Venerable.
Unperturbed by the venerable’s intimidating pressure, his expression remained imperturbable, his demeanor as tranquil as a still body of water.
“Do not impede the Supreme’s undertaking,” the Emperor stated placidly.
The Black Robed Venerable chuckled, “Rest assured, Your Majesty. The annihilation of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect is hardly a formidable task, and the Supreme will likely concur.”
“Deliberate on this matter,” the Emperor commanded, his hands clasped behind his back.
The Black Robed Venerable’s eyes narrowed. With a swift seal of his hands, divinity surged around him, intricately weaving runes into a unique divine formation.
Moments later, the Black Robed Venerable’s eyes opened. “Supreme Xuanzhen has given his assent.”
For the Supreme, possessing the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner, which could shield against the will of Heaven and Earth for a time, allowed for an overwhelming descent into the human realm, rendering the Supreme’s power nearly insurmountable.
Indeed, with the suppression of Heaven and Earth’s will, even a Second Calamity Venerable would find it challenging to manifest. Who then could possibly oppose a rampaging Supreme?
Consequently, the Black Robed Venerable harbored no surprise at Supreme Xuanzhen’s agreement.
Beyond that...
Within the Qian Yuan Divine Sect’s domain resides the Daughter of Prison Lotus!
This request from the Emperor, to Supreme Xuanzhen, was akin to an offering presented on a silver platter.
The Emperor gestured, “Mr. Lian, make the necessary preparations. I have retrieved the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner. Accompany this venerable in its transfer, and ensure you bear witness to Supreme Xuanzhen’s personal acquisition of the banner!”
Mr. Lian’s expression immediately turned solemn. “This humble servant pledges his life, the banner shall undoubtedly reach Supreme Xuanzhen!”
The Emperor nodded, having entrusted Mr. Lian, a loyal confidant forged through years of service, with this critical task.
He had absolute faith in Mr. Lian’s integrity!
Rumble —!
The Emperor clasped his fingers together, a gesture akin to sword light slicing through the void, abruptly cleaving spacetime.
A Purple Sandalwood Box emerged from the spatial rift, held aloft by the Emperor, safeguarding the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner within.
The Emperor’s gaze settled upon Mr. Lian.
Instantly, Mr. Lian felt an immense, unparalleled pressure bearing down on him.
As he received the Purple Sandalwood Box, an overwhelming weight settled upon him, as if even the formidable Confining God’s Body might fracture under the strain.
Clutching the Purple Sandalwood Box with all his might, Mr. Lian bowed deeply.
...
...
Qingshan, resembling delicate hairpins, could be faintly discerned amidst the swirling clouds and mist.
Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Within the revered Elder Court.
Li Che sat composedly in the courtyard, a kettle gently boiling on a small stove, its contents filled with verdant tea leaves.
As the leaves unfurled in the boiling water, they danced and swirled, releasing a rich, fragrant aroma that rose with the steam.
Zhang Ya, having been absent for some time, was diligently engaged in cleaning and organizing the area.
A stirring within Li Che’s consciousness prompted his mind to delve into the Heaven and Earth chessboard. The board hummed with energy, its chess pieces Inter-weaving and shifting with incredible speed.
Subsequently, a projected image materialized, depicting a clandestine meeting within the Imperial Mausoleum between Mr. Lian, the Emperor, and the enigmatic Black Robed Venerable.
Li Che’s attention focused on the Purple Sandalwood Box that the Emperor had revealed.
Mr. Lian’s struggle to maintain his grip on the Purple Sandalwood Box was evident; it seemed as though even the limitations of his Confining God’s Body were on the verge of shattering.
“Something isn’t right.”
Li Che’s brow furrowed subtly, his perception instantly discerning the anomaly.
With a mere thought, the Martial Immortal Will within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard unfurled. Subsequently, the Gathering Immortal Yellow Flag swiftly floated over, seized within its grasp.
Confronted by the Purple Sandalwood Box, the Gathering Immortal Yellow Flag remained utterly unreactive.
Li Che let out a cold chuckle: "What a sly Emperor, truly a master of concealment."
He even harbored suspicions of his closest confidant, attempting such a deception?
However, this particular scheme by the Emperor was destined to fail. The instant Supreme Xuanzhen obtained the box, they would be able to ascertain whether the Gathering Immortal Flag was inside.
Only by possessing the Gathering Immortal Flag could one protect the Heaven and Earth Will and break free from Qitian Inner City...
Therefore, such trickery proved utterly pointless.
Just as anticipated, the moment the Black Robed Venerable turned to enter the Strange Que path, the Emperor detained Mr. Lian, bestowing upon him a Jade Box.
As the Emperor's trusted associate, Mr. Lian grasped the implication immediately.
