As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1602 - 423: Dao Fruit, Fivefold Transformation Tribulation, Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame—Emperor Xi Xi at Age 7 Wants to Slay a Martial Saint...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Li Che rose to his feet, his gaze shining with intensity: "The Martial Immortal Golden Body has seen a minor enhancement, and moreover, the Victory Over Heaven Dao Domain now stretches across fifty feet, all thanks to the shift in cultivation..."
"Winning with weakness over strength, where lies the excitement of crushing the weak through superior might..."
Li Che whispered to himself.
Cultivation truly forms the bedrock.
Who would choose to stake their life on defeating the mighty while being feeble, when they could simply dominate the inferior with overwhelming power?
His five fingers tightened into a fist.
Within his palm, the Thunder Chess Piece ignited with radiant glow.
In an instant, Li Che vanished completely.
Zhao Beidou had been turned into a loyal soul servant, and right now, inside the Imperial Court’s forces, Li Che had taken over the positions of three generals!
Xie Yushen, Grandmaster Huang Mei, along with Zhao Beidou—these three generals now served under Li Che’s command.
The chance to shatter the Imperial Court’s grand strategy and twist it fully toward the Li family appeared closer than ever.
Divine Tribulation... one remains, namely Gu Qianchi from the Bashu Sword Pavilion!
Beyond that, there loomed the formidable Old Dragon God.
"After I grasp the essence of the Dao Tribulation, the moment should arrive... at that point, I can confront the Old Dragon God. The level of one disaster and two tribulations demands respect, even with preparations against betrayal from comrades, treachery from kin, and deadly venom—it cannot be taken lightly."
Li Che murmured softly.
This Old Dragon God from the Dragon God Clan, a beast enduring for three millennia, certainly warranted Li Che’s most elaborate scheme.
Yet for now, the deadly toxin [Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill] remained unrefined, so Li Che felt no rush.
The toxin stayed incomplete, and the Dao Tribulation’s power eluded his full control...
Acting without at least 95 percent assurance meant plunging into a perilous wager.
Li Che and the danger of self-poisoning stood utterly at odds!
Buzz—
Li Che reappeared in the study of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard stretched vast across the heavens.
His five fingers unfurled, allowing the Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal—retrieved from Zhao Beidou’s Qiankun small space—to settle into Li Che’s grasp.
However, right as Li Che prepared to refine his divinity.
A faint quiver ran through the Heaven and Earth chessboard.
That connection, attuned to his daughter’s circumstances, relayed an update.
Li Che gripped the Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal tightly, his eyes narrowing then widening, as golden radiance surged fiercely.
He directed his sight toward the scene mirrored on the Heaven and Earth chessboard.
...
...
Dark clouds churned, fierce snow howled!
Hand-sized snowflakes floated softly downward from the overcast sky.
A deep blanket of white covered the earth.
Suddenly, a figure burst forth from the drifts—Xi Xi, donning a small bull calf mask, shoved it up onto her head, exposing cheeks rosy from the biting chill.
Xi Xi narrowed her eyes, a flash of anger and resolve sparking in her bright, spirited gaze.
From the yielding snow behind her, a rupture formed as the other three surfaced.
They were none other than Jin Taixui, Zhou Peng, and Yun E.
"Xi Xi... this isn’t working, our cultivation levels are too low, we’re holding you back, and that Martial Saint Gu Chuan trails us by our tracks, all because of us."
Yun E clutched her rabbit, gazing at Xi Xi with eyes full of remorse.
Zhou Peng and Jin Taixui grew quiet as well.
Unlike Xi Xi, they lacked the skill to mask their aura so a Martial Saint couldn’t sense it.
Xi Xi breathed out warm air, huffing through her nostrils.
"Truth is, it’s on me, I got sloppy—when we arrived in Guangling Dao City, I should’ve set down Flying Thunder Chess Pieces en route, so escaping would’ve been a breeze."
Guilt weighed on Xi Xi, prompting her to examine her own shortcomings.
If it had been Master Niu Niu, wouldn’t he have foreseen this ages ago?
"No point dwelling on it now..."
"A Martial Saint..."
Xi Xi’s eyes slitted, a surge of murderous intent brewing deep within.
The pursuit by this Martial Saint Gu Chuan from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect wasn’t the sole reason—when he uncovered Xi Xi’s true identity, he hounded them with relentless fervor, refusing to back off.
But Xi Xi harbored an even deeper motive for slaying Gu Chuan.
He served as the key protector of the "Ascending Immortal Pavilion!"
Since Gu Chuan had emerged from that den, he must know of its atrocities—draining the vital blood of innocent girls to nourish the Temple God and craft Immortal Ascension Pills.
And yet, he didn’t just shield it; he enabled it!
Was this the act of a person?
If not human, why hesitate to end him?
"He won’t stop chasing, and since fleeing’s off the table, we’ll turn around and strike him down!"
Xi Xi balled her small fist, then planted hands on hips while thrusting out her tiny tummy.
Fire blazed in her eyes—Emperor Xi Xi... never took a hit lying down!
Zhou Peng inhaled sharply, cramming three buns into his mouth to steady himself.
Emperor Xi Xi... truly intended to take down a Martial Saint?
This was a Martial Saint, after all!
Sure, Xi Xi’s cultivation shone brightly, even claiming the Chulong honor at the Flat Peach Victory Meeting!
Still, slaying a Martial Saint felt like a stretch, didn’t it?
But Xi Xi offered no further words, her toe pressing the ground as she launched herself swiftly through the snow.
Her chubby little hands drew out Mystic Yellow Talisman Paper after another from the Qiankun Jade—as the heir to Fairy in the Painting, Xi Xi possessed exceptional talent for Divine Talismans, proven by the Sect Master’s Wife!
Every Divine Talisman crafted by the Sect Master’s Wife lay within Xi Xi’s reach.
She set up Divine Talismans, hid traps...
Even young ones could flare with mighty fury!
Zhou Peng, Yun E, and Jin Taixui stared, mesmerized.
They observed Xi Xi, rear end raised high, as she worked her setups into the snow...
In that instant, an aura of unyielding courage truly radiated from Xi Xi.
