As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1882: As a Father’s Love Melts the Ice, Someone Snatches the Flag Before Li Che

The scene felt akin to preparations for a grand festival. Ordinarily, the departure of Sect Master Lv Taibai from the Qian Yuan Divine Sect would evoke sadness and reluctance, yet the prevailing atmosphere suggested his tenure had been less than satisfactory.

However, the palpable excitement wasn't due to Lv Taibai's stepping down, but rather the ascent of the young successor, Xi Xi. At merely eight years of age, Xi Xi had already attained the Martial Saint realm, a prodigy unparalleled, heralding a future filled with promise for the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

Mei Mountain.

Li Che's black robe billowed, his raven-black, robust hair lashing through the air like a divine whip, cracking with explosive force.

A gentle smile gracing his features, Li Che set foot on Mei Mountain. Along his path, plum trees unfurled their autumn blooms; or rather, plum blossoms thrived year-round on Mei Mountain, releasing an intensely refined fragrance.

With Li Che's current cultivation, piercing the mystic fog to pinpoint the Mysterious Temple presented no significant hurdle.

The wind whispered, and plum blossoms, fragrant and delicate, descended.

Pale pink petals fluttered down, settling upon the ground shrouded in a mysterious mist, enhancing the enigmatic aura.

Within the temple walls, profound quietude reigned. The divine sculpture of the True Lord stood sentinel on the altar, accompanied by a sleek black dog, positioned as if ready to hunt, by the True Lord's side.

All around, candle flames danced erratically, their light feeble and flickering.

The divine sculpture was enthroned high upon the altar, its visage concealed by a thick, divine miasma, save for a sliver between the brows where a single divine eye emitted a piercing gaze.

Li Che had once inquired of the proprietor if he was indeed the Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Lord, but received no direct confirmation.

Could silence imply assent?

Li Che refrained from making assumptions. He raised his left hand, a low hum and tremor emanating from it. In the ensuing moment, the three-pointed, double-edged saber materialized, seized firmly within his grasp.

It was within this very Mysterious Temple, on a prior occasion, that he had achieved resonance with the Temple God, acquiring three spheres of light.

From these, he had selected the three-pointed, double-edged saber, a divine weapon that proved invaluable, particularly during the conflict at Qi Tian City, where its unsealing unleashed a divine aura, aiding his triumph over his adversaries.

Consequently, Li Che harbored considerable gratitude towards the Saint Manifestation True Monarch.

He assumed a cross-legged posture as a gentle breeze swept by, rendering the entire world eerily still.

His gaze remained fixed upon the divine sculpture for an extended period, utterly motionless.

Li Che remained undisturbed.

“Exhale—”

“Inhale—”

With each breath, his mind grew progressively clearer.

Laying the three-pointed, double-edged saber horizontally across his lap, Li Che slowly closed his eyes, immersing himself in cultivation. With a subtle shift of his spirit, he entered the Dao Tribulation Space, commencing his daily trial.

The primordial power of the Dao Tribulation began to weave and coil around his form.

Within the confines of the Mysterious Temple, the inherent divinity seemed to stir, rippling subtly.

Upon the altar.

The divine sculpture of the Miao Dao Xiansheng True Lord appeared to tremble, the mystical fog enshrouding it parting like torn fabric.

The gaze emanating from the vertical pupil shifted, moving with deliberate slowness.

It settled upon the figure seated in cultivation.

Gradually… peculiar.

…

…

Within the chessboard of Heaven and Earth, visions intertwined.

Mysterious fog surged, obscuring clarity, yet Li Che's placement of a Thunder Chess Piece upon Mr. Lian enabled remote surveillance; he could perceive the unfolding scenes with perfect clarity, even from afar.

Li Che’s Martial Immortal will continuously processed this imagery, his heart as tranquil as a placid pool.

His intention to seize the flag was firm, but he awaited the opportune moment, necessitating meticulous preparation.

This endeavor to seize the flag involved a deep incursion into the Strange Que.

Despite his current Martial Immortal battle prowess, the inherent dangers within the Strange Que were potent enough to engulf even a Martial Immortal.

After all, the Strange Que imposed minimal constraints on power displays; Supremes could unleash their full might, and even deities could manifest their presence…

Li Che himself occupied the Martial Arts Human Immortal Realm.

Should he encounter a Supreme being, a strategic retreat would likely be his only recourse.

Therefore, Li Che prioritized discerning the identities of the formidable individuals present on this expedition.

He needed to ascertain if any powerful figures remained concealed, or if a Supreme was observing from the shadows.

Li Che intensely coveted the Gathering Immortals Xuan Flag, intending to pair it with the Gathering Immortals Yellow Flag already under his dominion.

The acquisition of the complete Gathering Immortals Flag array was a monumental undertaking; even the Emperor possessed but two components—the Gathering Immortals Xuan Flag and the Gathering Immortals Earth Banner.

Notwithstanding the difficulty, Li Che’s resolve remained unshaken. Since the Emperor deemed it appropriate to present the Gathering Immortals Flag, Li Che felt emboldened to attempt its capture!Furthermore, Li Che gleaned from Mr. Lian that the Emperor harbored murderous intent toward the Qian Yuan Divine Sect. The lending of the Gathering Immortals Flag was thus a strategic move to ensure that Supreme being's departure. This dual action would not only resolve the issue of the Earthly Ghost Emperor but also serve to level the Qian Yuan Divine Sect. "Xi Xi has only just assumed the role of Sect Master for the Qian Yuan Divine Sect; such a catastrophe simply cannot be permitted to transpire," Li Che mused. Having pledged to guarantee his daughter's freedom from concern, Li Che's commitment was naturally more than mere rhetoric. Meanwhile, arrangements were also being made concerning the Da Jing Dynasty. Xie Yushen, now under Li Che's control as his Soul Capturer, was diligently working to gather the Fortune from all eleven paths of Dajing, consolidating it into a Luck Golden Lotus. Up to this point, the Luck Golden Lotus from two divine sects—the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect and the Xuanfu Divine Sect—had been successfully condensed. State Preceptor Xie Yushen was a trusted confidant of the Dajing Emperor, a gem discovered amidst the ordinary, whose loyalty had never been doubted. The Emperor had even entrusted Xie Yushen with the fate of Dajing, hoping that he could achieve the conquest of the Dajing Eleven Divine Sects. This grand ambition was intended to allow the world's fate to converge and coalesce into the Twelve-grade Mountain and River Qi Fortune Golden Lotus!
