As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1898: The Chess Saint’s Fifth Transformation—Beholding Blue Star’s Homeland, Ten Steps to Kill One, A Thousand Miles Without Stopping...

"One must never forget their origins; Xi Xi was originally the Qianyuan Young Master, so why should I not return?" Li Che stated with a smile.

Lv Taibai couldn't help but chuckle at his words.

"Shall we take a stroll?" Lv Taibai asked, his gaze towards Li Che filled with a complex depth.

Upon hearing this, Li Che was momentarily taken aback, his brow furrowing as he sensed an unusual aura emanating from Lv Taibai.

The grand feast was in full swing when Li Che and Lv Taibai departed, one after the other. They ascended gracefully into the air, eventually landing upon Mei Mountain.

As they ambled along the mountain path, a carpet of fallen plum blossoms lay scattered on the ground, the light casting a dim, ethereal glow.

"I pondered if my sword, once weary, could truly vanquish all those wicked monks dwelling on Xiling Road."

"Yet, after slaying one Huang Mei, I realized that Little Lingyin Temple would inevitably produce a second, then a third, and countless more such figures."

Lv Taibai's silver hair billowed in the breeze as he delicately plucked a plum blossom with two fingers, a faint smile gracing his lips.

"During my time as the Qianyuan Young Master... I trained rigorously on Xiling Road. I eliminated numerous malevolent monks, only to be relentlessly pursued by Little Lingyin Temple and ultimately expelled from Xiling Road..."

"That indelible memory remains etched in my heart forever."

Lv Taibai spoke in a hushed tone.

The embroidered golden lotuses adorning Li Che's Mo Shan robes fluttered gently. His expression remained impassive, as if patiently awaiting Lv Taibai's further revelations.

"In truth... before my bond with Seven Kills, I had another beloved."

Lv Taibai confessed.

"She perished on Xiling Road, tragically transformed into a Buddha drum."

"They utilized her very skin."

"Therefore, my hatred for the monks of Xiling Road stems from that very incident. I once swore an oath that if I could break through the Divine Tribulation... I would annihilate every monk on Xiling Road and launch an assault on Little Lingyin Temple."

Lv Taibai exhaled deeply, his sleeves billowing outward. A resonant clanging echoed endlessly, the sound of potent sword Qi meticulously stored within his robes, seemingly poised to erupt at any moment.

As if mirroring the turmoil in his soul, the sword Qi appeared eager to ascend into the heavens.

"However, I was previously bound by my identity as the Qianyuan Sect Master and my vow not to act until I reached the Divine Tribulation. But now..."

"I have finally attained the Divine Tribulation..."

A serene smile graced Lv Taibai's visage.

"Xi Xi has now assumed my mantle as the Qianyuan Sect Master. With your unwavering support and Old Fang's aid, the Sect's future will undoubtedly flourish far beyond my tenure..."

"So..."

Lv Taibai's five fingers clenched into a tight fist.

The very fabric of the void fractured, scattering plum blossoms that swirled and danced amidst the mountain air.

He drew forth the Taibai Sword, its resplendent gleam accompanied by an unending, melodious hum.

"I intend to march upon Xiling..."

"Just as the Underworld Yama wisely proclaimed, in this world, no power is truly insurmountable; it is merely a matter of insufficient resolve!"

Li Che fell into a profound silence upon hearing Lv Taibai's declaration.

While he had engaged in similar conversations with Lv Taibai before, he had never anticipated the depth of this lingering obsession.

"And what of the Sect Master's Wife? Will you simply abandon her? Little Lingyin Temple on Xiling Road is no minor force. If you were to fall in battle... what fate would await the Sect Master's Wife?"

Li Che inquired, his gaze distant, as if recalling the image at the feast: Xuan Qisha, the Sect Master's Wife, seated beside Xi Xi, appearing increasingly petite and delicate.

She seemed so small, almost as if she were regressing into an infant.

Lv Taibai cast a look towards Li Che. "She will accompany me... Seven Kills is actually quite pleased and even eager about this."

"Once the Locking God Talisman is activated, its effects are irreversible..."

"She will continue to shrink, becoming progressively smaller."

"She wishes to fight alongside me one final time before her memories completely fade."

"Indeed, my resolve to pursue my Sword Dao, to attack Xiling Road and Little Lingyin Temple, is partly fueled by her."

Lv Taibai lightly spun the sword in his hand, a smile playing on his lips. "She will ride upon my shoulder. Together, as husband and wife... we shall experience one last magnificent day!"

"Leaving no regrets behind."

Lv Taibai turned his gaze back to Li Che. "Over at Golden Light Prefecture... the resurrection of the Third Prince Temple God will undoubtedly be treated with far greater solemnity than the Qi Tian Resurrection. Moreover, the Third Prince Temple God is intrinsically linked to Xi Xi... I cannot offer much assistance to you all; my cultivation in such a grand battle is, frankly, pitifully inadequate."

"However, by launching an attack on Xiling Road, I might succeed in drawing away a significant number of Little Lingyin Temple's formidable experts. While the notion of one person challenging an entire sect might be an exaggeration, it would at least serve as an effort to protect Xi Xi."

Li Che opened his mouth to respond.

But Lv Taibai merely raised his hand, halting him.

He let out a hearty laugh, his powerful Sword Intent erupting forth!

Flowing white robes graced the descent upon Mei Mountain, strands of silver hair adrift as a figure ambled with leisure along the ridges, a carefree melody trailing in the air.

"I am Lv Taibai, this world's destined harbinger of slaughter."

"Ten steps, one life taken; a thousand miles traversed without pause!"

"Hahahahaha..."
