As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1532 - 408: Unleashing Eight Qi Gates and the Qilin’s Kick, Gathering Qi Fortune Under Heaven and Assembling Qian Yuan [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Fang Hanshu shook his head, his brow furrowing deeply.
As a man of letters, he found the threat of cold steel to be utterly repulsive.
“From that massive encampment, messengers continue to depart via eagle-back, clearly carrying urgent pleas for reinforcements...”
“On a more positive note, Zhao Beidou, the ancestor master of the Dragon Tiger Divine Sect, has reappeared after shattering the void. My informants spotted him returning to the camp; it appears he was wounded by the calamity...”
“Meanwhile, Gu Qianchi of the Bashu Sword Pavilion remains quiet, showing no significant activity.”
Fang Hanshu shared these intelligence reports with Li Che.
Upon hearing the news, a faint shimmer ignited in Li Che’s eyes...
“Zhao Beidou... he is gravely wounded?”
Observing the sudden, intense radiance in Li Che’s gaze—shining as brightly as a million-watt bulb—Fang Hanshu’s lips couldn't help but twitch...
“Not quite... calling it a serious injury would be an overstatement. Although he survived the calamity, he likely only sustained minor wounds.”
Li Che felt a pang of disappointment at those words.
He considered utilizing the Heaven and Earth chessboard to conduct a more thorough investigation.
“Xie Yushen has currently pulled back eight hundred miles, but his return is inevitable... Confronting an ancestor master who has survived two Divine Tribulations is a daunting task. If Xie Yushen manages to recruit another Divine Tribulation cultivator... our defenses might crumble.”
A heavy sigh escaped Fang Hanshu.
This looming threat was precisely why Lv Taibai had entered seclusion under such crushing pressure, striving to reach the Half-step Martial God Realm.
They were racing against the clock.
Time was a luxury they did not possess!
Li Che’s expression turned solemn: “Indeed, given the ruthlessness of the Cloth Robe National Master, it is likely Xie Yushen will summon more than one Divine Tribulation expert. Having secured significant authority from the Emperor, he clearly intends to annihilate us entirely!”
“It is also probable that the Dragon God Clan will dispatch a Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator.”
Fang Hanshu nodded in agreement: “The Dragon God Clan still relies on their final pillar, an ancient Old Dragon God. If he is called into action, it signifies that the Dragon God Clan... is staking everything on this fight.”
Fang Hanshu turned to Li Che, his Confucian robes billowing in the wind as a cold light flickered in his eyes.
“Because of this... I have a proposal.”
“Please, Great Elder, share your thoughts.”
“A Che, you have connections within the Underworld. I am wondering if you could convince Earthly Hell’s Evil to strike... and assassinate Xie Yushen!”
Li Che regarded Fang Hanshu with a mixture of shock and skepticism.
With his Confucian robes swelling and his elegant beard dancing in the breeze, Fang Hanshu offered a smile: “For my part, I will endeavor to hire a God Hunter Killer from the Hunting God Pavilion to join the fray...”
“I will try to reach out to the elite God Hunter Killers... If we can secure such a professional, paired with the legendary assassination arts of the Underworld, we might actually succeed.”
Hearing this, Li Che felt as though he had found a kindred spirit.
But wait... a God Hunter Killer?!
“A God Hunter Killer?”
Li Che was momentarily confused.
“I thought the ultimate assassin of the Hunting God Pavilion was the Hunting King? Or perhaps the Sect Master...”
Fang Hanshu smiled gently, a mysterious light dancing in his eyes.
“A Che, the heritage of the Hunting God Pavilion is far more profound than you realize. While the Hunting King targets the powerful of the mortal realm, a God Hunter... possesses the power to slay gods.”
Fang Hanshu let out a breath.
“Still, trying to kill Xie Yushen is a monumental undertaking. The motives behind the betrayal of the Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect remain a mystery, but... as the commander and heart of the Imperial Court’s mountain-breaking army, Xie Yushen will certainly be shielded by a Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator at all times.”
“The ancestor masters, Zhao Beidou of the Dragon Tiger Divine Sect and Gu Qianchi of the Bashu Sword Pavilion, are Divine Tribulation practitioners of the One Disaster One Tribulation Realm. Our own Qian Yuan ancestor master is at the One Disaster Two Tribulation Realm. Within the Strange Que, our ancestor could handle both of them simultaneously. However, in the mortal world, the Divine Tribulations are restricted by the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations of the Heaven and Earth Will, preventing them from using their full power.”
“So, even though our ancestor has the strength to fight two opponents, he remains hampered.”
“If he were at the One Disaster Three Tribulation Realm, he could easily overwhelm them.”
Li Che felt a stir of excitement in his heart.
This was the first time he had heard the specific ranking system for the Divine Tribulation levels.
“And what about the Martial God? Is the classification the same?”
Li Che asked.
Fang Hanshu looked at him and nodded: “The Martial God... represents the convergence of the Martial Path and Divinity. It is a profound evolution within the Divine Martial Dao. In truth, once you reach the Divine Tribulation Realm, the distinctions blur. Both paths are rejected by Heaven and Earth, forcing them to endure the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.”
“However, the Divine Tribulation practitioner focuses on expanding and strengthening their Inner Space to create a Small Cave Heaven.”
“Conversely, a Martial God expands and reshapes their Dantian to manifest a Martial Path Heaven anomaly. This anomaly can exist within the void, allowing the Martial God to take refuge there to escape the tribulations. In practice, it serves a similar function to the Divine Tribulation’s Small Cave Heaven.”
Noticing Li Che’s fascination, Fang Hanshu continued his explanation.
The Martial God carries the Heaven anomaly, while the Divine Tribulation evolves the Inner Scenery into a Cave Heaven...
“Regardless of the path, Dao Yun is essential to grow the Heaven anomaly or the Small Cave Heaven. The very essence of the Great Dao is the foundation required to build these realms!”
“Without enough Dao Yun, the risk of failing a tribulation is immense; in fact, Martial Gods and Divine Tribulations can even suffer a regression in their cultivation realm.”
“Do you see why the unveiling of Qi Tian City caused such a frenzy? It wasn't just about the Qitian Inheritance. It's because the Divine Tribulation Great Cultivators discovered that the Qi Tian Mysterious Temple is located where the Inner Mysterious Que and Earth Deceit Que meet.”
“That city is bound to contain a massive hoard of Dao Yun Divine Crystals...”
“Why are so many Demon Emperors invading Qi Tian City? They want to seize the opportunity offered by the city’s reopening to claim those Dao Yun Divine Crystals and become the first to ascend to Demon Gods!”
Fang Hanshu, with his vast knowledge and scholarly background, possessed a remarkably profound grasp of the world’s shifting powers and grand designs.
