Li Che enters the Mysterious Temple and cultivates, while remotely observing a complex situation within the Heaven and Earth chessboard. He plans to seize the Gathering Immortals Xuan Flag, despite the dangers posed by powerful figures and potential Supremes within the Strange Que. Li Che is motivated by a desire to protect his daughter's sect and is also orchestrating events within the Da Jing Dynasty through Xie Yushen.

The emperor’s ambition is evident… and it mirrors Li Che’s aspirations as well. The Prison Lotus curse afflicting Xi Xi remains potent and enigmatic.

This particular instance saw Li Che witness the curse's encroachment upon Xi Xi’s will, attempting to submerge her in the anguish of her parents' tragic demise, her companions' downfall, and her Sect's annihilation, thereby transforming her into the Daughter of the Prison Lotus.

Consequently, Li Che feels compelled to intervene and subdu e these curses.

He sought counsel from Qi Tian and engaged in profound discussions with the God of Qitian Temple concerning this matter.

Through these dialogues, he ascertained the precise methods to quell the Prison Lotus Curse within Xi Xi.

At the time, the Qitian Temple God's demeanor was fraught with complexity. From the perspective of the Prison Lotus Camp, they harbored no desire for their potential Daughter of the Prison Lotus to resist the curse's influence.

It is only by embracing the curse's power and accepting her destiny as the Daughter of the Prison Lotus that she could truly ascend to leadership within the Prison Lotus Camp.

However, succumbing to the Prison Lotus Curse is an undertaking of immense brutality and cruelty.

Despite this, Qi Tian still divulged the necessary method."Utilize the might of the Twelve-grade Mountain and River Fortune Golden Lotus to achieve equilibrium with the curse's power..."

Li Che's eyes slowly fluttered open, emerging from the profound depths of the Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Monarch Strange Temple.

The creation of the Twelve-grade Mountain and River Fortune Golden Lotus is no small feat, yet for Xi Xi's sake, Li Che is resolved to exert all necessary effort.

Therefore, Li Che resolved to remain undetected by the enemy, at least until the Qi Fortune Golden Lotus could be fully amassed, and the Great Vista remained secure.

The Dajing's Fate holds significant sway in the formation of the Twelve-grade Mountain and River Fortune Golden Lotus and must be the final element incorporated, serving as the linchpin for uniting the eleven Dao Gold Lotuses into a singular entity.

"The Emperor of Dajing..."

Li Che’s gaze sharpened as his eyes fully opened.

Indeed, the All Gods Camp’s Dark Heavenly Court operates behind the Dajing Royal Family, placing Li Che inherently at odds with the Imperial Court – an unavoidable confrontation.

He rose to his feet, his Mo Shan robes billowing in the wind, and Li Che clenched his fist, producing the Cute Bull Mask before concealing his face with it.

Then, with another clench of his hand, a Thunder Chess Piece materialized in his palm, which he grasped firmly.

In an instant, he vanished from his original position.

He reappeared within the mountain gates of the Xuanfu Divine Sect, situated along Qingyun Road.

Xie Yushen was observed atop the peak of the Divine Sect Mountain Gate, engrossed in contemplation and strategizing his next target for action.

Currently, Xie Yushen's focus was not on diligently assembling the Eleven Dao Qi Fortune Golden Lotus for Dajing, but rather for the Lord and the Young Lord.

Upon Li Che's sudden appearance, clad in the Bull Demon Mask, Xie Yushen immediately sensed his presence and swiftly rose, offering a respectful salute with clasped fists.

Beside him, the Sect Master of Little Lingyin Temple, Grandmaster Huang Mei, also performed the customary salutation.

Following the Xuanfu Divine Sect's destruction, Xie Yushen assumed control and, after the Qi Fortune Golden Lotus was successfully gathered, he made arrangements for personnel to oversee Qingyun Dao City.

The lingering scent of blood remained potent.

The Xuanfu Ancestor’s sacrifice of the entire mountain gate, in exchange for Cultivation that reached One Disaster Three Tribulations, was deemed preposterous by many.

However, for cultivators who found themselves at an impasse, it represented a desperate gamble.

While it defied conventional morality, it was an act born of inescapable circumstances.

Nevertheless, the Xuanfu Ancestor deserved no sympathy, meriting only death and destruction.

Li Che, concealed by the Bull Demon Mask, stood imposingly atop the mountain's summit, unfazed by the buffeting winds and turbulent atmosphere.

Xie Yushen remained close behind him.

"Have you determined our next destination?"

Li Che inquired casually.

The procurement of the Twelve-grade Mountain and River Fortune Golden Lotus was a task Li Che could not accomplish alone, necessitating his reliance on Xie Yushen.

Therefore, Li Che held Xie Yushen in high regard, even permitting him to obtain a substantial portion during the Confining God’s feast.

Presently, Xie Yushen, whose original Cultivation was not particularly robust, had undergone forced advancement and was still in the process of refining the Confining God Energy. Once this process was complete, his Cultivation might well breach the Divine Tribulation realm.

This was an outcome Xie Yushen had never dared to envision within his lifetime, given his notably lacking innate talent.

However, Li Che had bestowed upon him hope and made such an achievement a tangible possibility.

Dressed in a Confucian robe, his head adorned with a guan jin, and gracefully wielding his feather fan, Xie Yushen's eyes blazed with fervent determination: "Lord, our next objective for conquest is Xiling Road... Little Lingyin Temple!"

Li Che expressed slight surprise, a flicker of confusion crossing his features: "Why Little Lingyin Temple?"

To strike so swiftly against one of the top three Divine Sects?!

The Purple Mansion Divine Sect, the Purple Bamboo Forest, and the Little Lingyin Temple are three supreme divine sects, all of whom are extraordinary. When Qi Tian City opened, all three dispatched powerful forces.

Among them, the Purple Mansion Divine Sect was shrouded in an unfathomable depth.

Their sect master, Zhang Wuji, even commanded the combat prowess of a Second Disaster Venerable.

Backed by the Western Regions Buddha Land, the Little Lingyin Temple, with the support of Black Sumeru, also falls under the dominion of the All Gods forces, making them a power not to be taken lightly.

Li Che had not anticipated that Xie Yushen would set his sights on the Little Lingyin Temple so early.

With a gentle wave of his feather fan, Xie Yushen elaborated, "After our successful subjugation of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect and the Xuanfu Divine Sect, the court's army, dedicated to dismantling and conquering sects, has instilled a degree of apprehension in many Divine Sects."

"The Little Lingyin Temple is situated along Xiling Road, bordering the Western Regions Buddha Land, and further fortified by the latter's backing... To date, we have conquered two Divine Sects, generating some fear, but not enough to compel the Little Lingyin Temple to relinquish Xiling Road and integrate into the Western Regions Buddha Land, thereby abandoning this strategic foothold within Dajing's territory."

"However, if we continue our campaign and breach more Divine Sects, the Little Lingyin Temple will inevitably sense a shift in the tides. This would be akin to stirring the grass and startling the snake, potentially prompting the Little Lingyin Temple to seek assistance from the Western Regions Buddha Land, which would complicate matters immensely."

Xie Yushen meticulously laid out the advantages and disadvantages for Li Che.

Li Che offered a thoughtful nod.

"Very well, we shall proceed according to your strategy..." Li Che commended with a smile, choosing not to interfere with Xie Yushen's strategic plan for conquest.
