As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1587 - 420: Who Stands Above King Yan Among the Underworld’s New Members? Grandmaster Zhao Will Recover Upon Joining My Underworld [Monthly Ticket Requested]...

Regret... because no matter how spectacular Li Che’s breakthrough appeared, in the end... he remained only a Martial Saint.

When positioned against the imperial army and a formidable lineup of three Divine Tribulations, his personal influence on the battlefield was restricted.

However, if Li Che were granted more time, a foundation of this caliber would make shattering the Martial Saint Realm bottleneck through sheer human effort a simple matter in the future!

Ultimately, it was a pity...

He was merely a Martial Saint.

...

...

Li Che’s laughter rang out incessantly; at this particular moment, his mind had become transparently clear, as though he had attained a sudden enlightenment.

A sense of profound relaxation washed over his entire body, while his Essence, Qi, and Spirit reached a peak of intense concentration!

Once a simple man of humble origins, he had reached the absolute summit today!

This transformation was like the distance between heaven and earth, and it had been achieved in a mere seven years!

In only seven years, since departing from the small, obscure town of Fei Lei City, he had smashed through every bottleneck of the Martial Path. Starting from the lowly Skin Refinement, he was now a Four-Open Martial Saint who had thoroughly mastered the Martial Path and reached the zenith!

To Li Che, it felt like a legend brought to life, or a dream from which he had just stirred!

It was the sensation of a thousand autumns shifting within a dreamlike pagoda!

He felt an unmatched sense of exhilaration!

At this very second, Li Che even deactivated the Heaven and Earth chessboard. He no longer masked his aura or suppressed his cultivation!

He showcased it boldly, exposing his power without hesitation.

He was announcing to the world, declaring to all under heaven...

That he, Li Che, had climbed to the absolute peak of the Martial Path!

Naturally, Li Che still kept certain secrets hidden, such as the fact that his Eight Extraordinary Meridians were fully opened.

Yet, this moment represented Li Che’s crowning achievement in the Martial Path!

He had no desire to conceal it!

Boom—!!!

As he released a long breath, his body’s Qi-Blood surged and coiled like a furious dragon, with golden Qi-Blood spiraling around his arms.

Taking a single step forward, he moved like a falling meteor, descending with incredible speed.

Dong—!!!

The very earth shuddered under the impact.

"Husband!"

Within the courtyard, Zhang Ya pressed her hand to her mouth, her face a mask of shock and disbelief!

Zhang Ya was no longer a stranger to the world of Cultivation; her husband... had actually ascended to the rank of a Martial Saint at the absolute peak!

Good heavens!

What kind of transcendent being was Zhang Ya’s husband?

However, once the initial excitement faded, a shadow of tension and worry began to creep across Zhang Ya’s features.

Her husband was becoming increasingly extraordinary. If she failed to keep pace, she might lose even the qualification to bear his children in the future.

Zhang Ya understood that as Xi Xi grew older, she and her husband would likely want more children.

A single child might not be enough.

And now, they could certainly afford it!

But looking at the current situation, if Zhang Ya did not push herself to become stronger, her physical constitution would not be able to keep up with her husband’s strengthening.

Alas, having such a brilliant husband brought its own set of problems.

Even though Zhang Ya had consumed the Flat Peach, she was still struggling to refine its vast energy...

At this rate, who knew when she would finally finish refining it.

Lv Qiankun, Lv Taibai, Fang Hanshu, and the others came gliding toward him.

They arrived with words of praise and celebration, followed shortly by the other Elders.

Zhao Fangzhou, Ding Zi, Feng Zhiqi, and various other Elders of the Divine Sect all gathered to offer their congratulations to Li Che.

"I thank you all. However, simply reaching the level of a Four-Open Martial Saint does not provide a massive advantage given the sect's current peril..."

"We must continue to push ourselves to improve."

Li Che clasped his hands and gave a shallow bow, his voice calm.

The crowd fell silent at his words, but then a burning, fierce fighting spirit began to rise within them.

If even a genius like Elder Li Che felt the weight of the pressure and sought to grow stronger, how could they—who were less gifted—simply give up and wait for death just because the imperial army was powerful?

That old Dragon God intended to seize their very home!

"I only managed this breakthrough by consuming certain elixirs. I requested resources from the Great Elder to refine martial arts pills within the Underworld, and only by taking those pills did my cultivation advance," Li Che explained.

Many people found this explanation reasonable. Hearing this, Feng Zhiqi’s racing heart finally began to settle.

So, Li Che had used pills to reach such a terrifying speed!

Still, being able to use pills to achieve such inhuman progress was undeniably impressive.

"Great Elder, I require more resources. I can offer the Holy Hand Divine Sculpture in trade. Furthermore, I can facilitate the exchange of Four Imperial Rank Divine Pills; anyone in the sect seeking to refine Four Imperial Upper Heavenly Pills may come to me," Li Che declared.

Lv Taibai’s eyes flashed with sudden intensity upon hearing this.

"A Che, you are capable of refining Four Imperial Upper Heavenly Pills? No... it isn't you, is it? Can you actually request the Alchemy Saint of the Underworld to refine pills for our Qian Yuan Divine Sect?"

Lv Taibai’s breathing grew heavy.

Li Che smiled and gave a nod. "I can."

Li Che felt a genuine sense of loyalty toward the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, as the sect had provided his family with a safe environment to pursue their Cultivation.

Therefore, performing these tasks within his capability was no trouble at all.

Lv Taibai’s breath hitched. Without any delay, he pulled several incredibly rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from his Qiankun Jade.

Along with them was a formula for a Four Imperial Upper Heavenly Pill.

"This is the recipe for the Four Imperial Upper ’Evading Tribulation Wind Pill’... please ask that Divine Pill Saint to refine this for us..."

"If the pill is successfully made, I will provide a massive reward!"

Lv Taibai spoke with immense gravity.

"Evading Tribulation Wind Pill... Sect Master, do you intend to use this pill to counter the pressure of the Destructive God Wind and face the Divine Tribulation?!"

Fang Hanshu’s eyes narrowed as he spoke out in surprise.

"If I can utilize the elixir’s power... I have some confidence that I can endure the Destructive God Wind!"
