As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1897: Chess Saint’s Fifth Transformation—Returning to Blue Star, Kill One with 10 Steps, Leave None Behind Across 1,000 Miles

A hint of chilling severity involuntarily surfaced in his eyes, as Zhou Heng’s state clearly indicated the mission’s failure.

He had dispatched Zhou Heng to the Mysterious Temple node within the Dajing Imperial Mausoleum. The objective was to secure the Gathering Immortals Flag from the Emperor of Dajing, to facilitate an escape from Qitian Inner City, and to confront the Earthly Ghost Emperor, who existed in a state between life and death, ultimately eradicating him completely.

However, it appeared that something had gone awry.

"Where is the Gathering Immortals Flag?" Supreme Xuanzhen inquired.

"Supreme One, the Gathering Immortals Flag... it has been taken!" Zhou Heng responded with profound regret.

"Taken? So, you mean the Emperor of Dajing agreed to lend it, but it was then snatched away?!"

Even for Supreme Xuanzhen, the news brought forth an uncontrollable, stern expression that contorted his features.

Zhou Heng’s face was etched with bitterness as he meticulously explained the unfolding events to Supreme Xuanzhen.

"How could the Godhunting Pavilion possibly know about my intention to borrow the Gathering Immortals Flag? Only the three Supremes of Qitian Inner City were privy to this plan!"

Supreme Xuanzhen let out a cold laugh.

Zhou Heng paused, his expression shifting through several emotions as he debated whether to reveal what he knew.

Supreme Xuanzhen fixed him with a cold gaze: "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Heng recounted the encounter with the Godhunting Pavilion assassin, detailing how the assassin displayed Buddha Nature and Demon Energy during their confrontation.

Upon hearing this, Supreme Xuanzhen’s Tao Divine Pattern flared intensely.

"So, that is how it is..."

His gaze pierced through space itself, as if capable of rending the very fabric of the cosmos!

Buddha Nature and Demon Energy...

Jia Lou and the Sky Wolf Demon God Supreme?!

Hmph!

Supreme Xuanzhen scoffed, abruptly clenching his fist. Tao Power coalesced into a colossal hand, ensnaring Zhou Heng’s form once more.

He then rapidly ascended towards the residences of the other two Supremes.

Supreme Xuanzhen was no fool; he could not immediately conclude whether or not those two Supremes had secretly dispatched individuals.

"Jia Lou! Sky Wolf!"

"Emerge!!!"

Boom—!!!

The reverberation shook the entirety of Qitian Inner City. Instantly, all cultivators within its bounds registered the change, feeling the surging, tide-like aura of the Supremes!

Undoubtedly.

A major event was unfolding!

...

...

Within Qitian Inner City, a significant event had transpired, indicating a potential dispute among the three Supremes. This news elicited no surprise from Li Che.

Taibai Peak.

The grand inheritance ceremony was drawing to a close.

Li Che remained, and once the proceedings concluded, he began to share the joyous moment with his wife, relishing their shared happiness.

There was a palpable sense of pride in having nurtured their child into such a prodigious talent.

Upon the elevated platform, Lv Taibai held Xi Xi’s hand, raising it high. A powerful resonance of Heaven and Earth Soul vibrated outwards, spreading like a tempest across the entirety of Qianyuan Taoist City.

"From this day forward, the position of Qianyuan Divine Sect Master officially transfers to Li Nuanxi!"

"May our Qianyuan Divine Sect flourish and prosper for countless millennia!"

Lv Taibai’s proclamation echoed with immense power.

His voice surged like crashing waves!

The disciples of the Qianyuan Divine Sect responded with even greater fervor, their voices joining Lv Taibai’s in a resounding chorus.

Were there those who resented Lv Taibai’s relinquishing of the Sect Master position?

Certainly, a few might have felt so, but not many. After all, Lv Taibai had not died to attain this position; he had attained the Dao and become a Divine Tribulation Cultivator. Consequently, he needed to step back from the spotlight to avoid the potential threats posed by the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations...

For this reason, a profound sadness did not pervade the assembly.

However, Xi Xi, an eight-year-old Martial Saint!

Her achievement was unprecedented and unparalleled!

A prodigy of such caliber assuming the role of Sect Master for the Qianyuan Divine Sect was indeed a great fortune for the sect, destined to etch its name into history!

Indeed, simply being an eight-year-old Martial Saint was a feat worthy of historical record, marking her as an unmatched heavenly prodigy for all ages!

"Xi Xi, say a few words to everyone," Lv Taibai said with a smile, looking at Xi Xi.

Xi Xi’s eyes sparkled, yet she showed no trace of shyness or apprehension.

"Everyone!"

"I, Li Nuanxi, shall undoubtedly fulfill your expectations!"

"In the future, we will certainly become the premier divine sect under heaven!"

Dressed in formal and magnificent attire, Xi Xi placed her hands on her hips, puffing out her small chest and belly. She surveyed the crowd, her Martial Saint’s Will radiating outwards. Her Qi-Blood burned like a blazing beacon, a smoke signal aimed at the very dome of the heavens.

A momentary silence fell over the entire Qianyuan Divine Sect.

The next instant, thunderous cheers erupted, filled with overwhelming excitement!

The grand ceremony for the inheritance stretched late into the night. Above the Celestial Dome, dark clouds parted, unveiling a breathtaking display of celestial brilliance.

The moon shone brightly overhead, accompanied by a starry expanse resembling a vast ocean.

The Qianyuan Divine Sect hosted an opulent feast, with more than a thousand tables meticulously arranged. The entirety of Qianyuan Taoist City was engulfed in celebration, featuring a wide array of exquisite wines and myriad culinary delights, all proudly presented.

Among the offerings were numerous rare delicacies prepared from the meat of formidable Demon Beasts.

Xi Xi, overcome with joy, couldn't cease her feasting. Her mouth was slick with oil, and not a trace of a Sect Master's dignified demeanor remained.

"Eat slower, little one. No one will dare to take your food, Xi Xi. You are now the Sect Master, the leader of this sect; we must maintain a certain image."

Zhang Ya stayed by Xi Xi's side, her gaze soft and her voice gentle.

Meanwhile, Li Che was engaged in a drinking exchange with other prominent figures, including Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, and Feng Zhiqi.

"A Che, let us share a cup. I must thank you for having such a wonderful daughter. Thank you for allowing Xi Xi to return from Qi Tian City and assume the esteemed position of Sect Master for our Qianyuan Divine Sect."

Lv Taibai poured a cup of wine and shared it with Li Che.

"However, Sect Master, your words are not entirely accurate. It was the Qianyuan Divine Sect that provided a sanctuary for our family, enabling us to endure amidst various perils and persist..."
