As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1899: Xuan Arts Break Through Human Immortal Ambition, Great Dao Haoran Underworld’s First Supreme
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Plum blossoms danced in the wind, a sound of skyward laughter reverberated endlessly.
Lv Taibai descended from Mei Mountain, continuing his journey, his figure slowly fading into the distance.
"Killing one person every ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles..."
"Such magnificent prowess."
Li Che stood in silent contemplation on the mountain's summit, observing the departure. He mused on Lv Taibai’s uninhibited nature, never anticipating such a fateful decision.
It became clear that Lv Taibai’s haste for Xi Xi to assume the Sect Master position was intertwined with his own strategic considerations. His personal objectives were, in essence, dedicated to Xi Xi's future.
Li Che released a gentle breath.
Was heading to Xiling Dao, causing disturbances for Little Lingyin Temple, intended to hold back a faction within the Third Crown Prince’s Mysterious Temple of the Golden Light Prefecture?
The concept appeared sound, and perhaps achievable. After all, Lv Taibai’s cultivation level made him a formidable opponent in the human world, and Sword Cultivators were well-known for their overwhelming combat power.
However, Old Lv had only just breached the First Calamity Divine Tribulation Realm, essentially sitting at the threshold of one disaster and one tribulation. Even with his exceptional combat skills, confronting a First Disaster Second Tribulation opponent would prove exceedingly taxing.
Li Che offered a slight shake of his head; at the very least, the intention behind the action was noble.
Furthermore, Li Che detected a palpable resentment within Lv Taibai, an intense obsession that seemed to target the complete eradication of Xiling Dao’s wicked monks!
This sentiment had been voiced by Lv Taibai when they had previously joined forces to defeat Grandmaster Huang Mei.
Perhaps, at that juncture, he had not foreseen such a rapid breakthrough to the Divine Tribulation Realm?
"Still, it works out well... Proceed, Xiling Dao... It just so happens that Xie Yushen’s next objective is Xiling Dao’s Little Lingyin Temple, making it the perfect opportunity to support Lv Taibai."
Li Che emitted a soft chuckle.
For those who held Xi Xi dear, those who cherished her, Li Che would not remain indifferent; he would ensure their protection.
However, the smile on Li Che’s face swiftly vanished.
"Sect Master’s Wife Xuan Qisha..."
Li Che’s brow furrowed slightly; Xuan Qisha’s predicament was exceptionally dire. Even Li Che suspected the difficulty in saving her; the Locking God Talisman... would inevitably regress, worsening until she became like an infant, ultimately… perishing entirely, as if returning to her origins.
Lv Taibai intended to escort Xuan Qisha for one final discharge.
"While I cannot resolve the issue of the Locking God Talisman, not being the Divine Talisman Saint, I can employ the Soul Capturing technique to resurrect the Sect Master’s Wife. This should, by then, resolve the Locking God Talisman’s problem."
A contemplative glimmer passed through Li Che’s eyes.
The Soul Capturing method generally sufficed to address such dilemmas, thus presenting a form of alternative.
For Li Che, death was not absolute; transformation into the Soul Capturing state represented a form of surrogate resurrection. Vitality persisted, consciousness remained, and it was not truly the end.
True demise entailed succumbing to reincarnation, where, upon completion of the cycle, one’s will dissipated and consciousness was extinguished.
Even if a new physical form were acquired, it would merely be a different individual.
Consequently, Li Che christened his faction the Underworld, symbolizing his dominion over death… the Underworld!
The current night was filled with joy, devoid of significant sorrow.
Lv Taibai ventured towards Xiling Dao with unwavering resolve, yet he remained unaware that his perceived finality was, in Li Che’s eyes, far from absolute.
All contingencies had been meticulously arranged by Li Che.
Regarding Lv Taibai’s pronouncements, concerning the Third Prince Temple God’s revival, his rampage through Xiling Dao, and the containment of Little Lingyin Temple…
Li Che gave these matters little direct concern.
After all, given Lv Taibai’s current cultivation, the most he could contend with were cultivators at the one disaster two tribulations, or perhaps at best, one disaster three tribulations realm, and nothing beyond that.
What genuinely impacted the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Furious Third Prince Temple God were the Venerable and Supreme beings from the Deceitful Gods Camp forces, and even truly resurrected deities!
"Golden Light Prefecture… it’s certainly becoming quite the spectacle."
Li Che’s gaze flickered, followed by a slight shake of his head and a gentle exhalation.
The banquet concluded, and Lv Taibai departed with Xi Xi, arranging for Fourth Elder Ding Zi to accompany them. This would allow Ding Zi to impart crucial knowledge and details regarding sect governance to Xi Xi.
Initially, Great Elder Fang Hanshu was slated for this tutelage, but unfortunately, Fang Hanshu had not yet returned from Qi Tian City.
Nevertheless, Ding Zi possessed considerable expertise in these affairs.
Within three days, Xi Xi became exceptionally occupied, and as her father, Li Che found himself seeing her less and less.
The autumn rain descended gracefully, showering the world from the heavens.
At the entrance of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Clad in a Mo Shan robe adorned with an embroidered golden lotus, Li Che's figure stirred, his dark, strong hair whipping in the wind, resembling a cascade of black lightning.
On Lv Taibai's shoulder perched a small girl, barely older than an infant, clad in a simple bellyband. She was the Sect Master’s Wife, yet she appeared to be shrinking, seemingly no more than a one-year-old.
With a flicker of her large, lustrous eyes, Li Che detected potent fluctuations of divine talismans emanating from her.
It was the power of the Locking God Talisman, its sheer potential startling Li Che; if unleashed, its might would be truly formidable!
Raindrops pattered against the dark tiles of the city tower's palace, creating a rhythmic, dripping melody.
"A Che, it is time for us to depart," Lv Taibai called out.
Still dressed in white, Lv Taibai's silver hair cascaded over his shoulders. His hands, tucked within his sleeves, waved with a gentle grace, reminiscent of an autumn breeze. A smile graced his lips, and above his brow, a sword pattern shimmered like polished jade.
"Take care," Li Che responded.
Lv Taibai offered a smile. This journey to Xiling Dao was a secret he shared with no one, save for the Grandmaster and Li Che. Not even Fang Hanshu, other elders, or Xi Xi were privy to his departure.
