As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1606 - 424: Emperor Xi Xi’s Divine Talisman Mushroom Formation—Let the Kids Fight, We Old Folks Shouldn’t Interfere
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Silently, Jin Taixui spun around and dashed right after them, as Zhou Peng let out a startled cry, cramming two steaming buns between his lips to steady his nerves before scrambling to follow in a rush.
...
...
Guangling Dao City.
Up on the city walls, sharp cracks ripped through the air, while fearsome energies clashed and surged wildly—some clad in rattling armor, others radiating vibrant might.
Their eyes fixed on the horizon, where five stunning golden mushroom clouds erupted in full bloom!
"What... is going on?"
"It looks like Half-Saint Gu Chuan is heading that way in pursuit!"
"Is Half-Saint Gu Chuan locked in combat? Do we rush over to aid him?"
No sooner had the question escaped.
From the city tower, the Temple Control Bureau of Guangling Dao City, joined by the elite forces of the Divine Guard Army, shot off at top speed.
Not only that.
Deep inside the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's mountain gates.
Strands of mist curled upward into the Cloud Dome, as a massive pill furnace rocketed skyward into the Cloud Dome, its cavernous base featuring a cap that swung open like the hatch on a washing machine.
A plump, ruddy face thrust out from within that pill furnace, the fleshy bulk nearly overflowing, slick grease dripping along the furnace edge, while those chubby, rosy eyes gleamed with an intensely brilliant spark.
"Is that... the path where the Human Medicine fled?"
"Gu Chuan chased after it, and it appears... he's run into some kind of disaster."
"No surprise the Human Medicine gives off such an overpowering scent... the moment I stepped into the city, I nearly lost all restraint."
"Too bad I have to complete refining this batch of Human Pills first—it's from eight hundred virgins!"
The form within the pill furnace let out a low chuckle.
Next, the cap sealed shut, and the whole pill furnace glowed with a scorching red-gold hue amid the roaring flames, resembling a red-hot branding tool.
Moments later, it streaked off like a shooting star, trailing a lengthy streak of radiance, shattering the void into shards as it blazed through.
...
...
Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Disciple City, Elder Court.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard spun overhead in the courtyard, sealing off the energies within the dwelling.
Li Che clutched a Three Pure Ones Rank Divine Crystal, steadily drawing out its divine essence, which stirred the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit—stuck in growth since he drained that Three Pure Ones Rank Divine Weapon Gathering Immortal Yellow Flag—back into advancing once more.
The boost in maturity remained modest, yet with the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit already so near completion, even absorbing the Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal yielded less progress than expected.
[Dao Fruit: Immaculate Heart (lv6,87%)]
Inside the Inner Scene of the Energy Center, the Heaven and Earth Transformation Spirit True Ape Divine Embryo let out thunderous roars, hungrily absorbing the Pure Heart's divine power, and now at the second stage of god transformation for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bright True Ape, it eagerly devoured the essence.
Cultivating the Divine Embryo demands steady buildup.
"Summoning Gods can swiftly boost Divine Cultivation..."
"My Divine Embryos gain power by consuming the summoned Temple Gods... yet this approach feels like emptying the pond just to snag the fish—it's unsustainable."
A subtle glint flashed in Li Che's gaze.
The Mysterious Temple lingers in the mortal realm, infusing divinity across every inch of Heaven and Earth.
It has propelled the human world into a Divine Cultivation age, accelerating cultivation progress dramatically.
The old Martial Path progressed sluggishly, where Martial Saints stood as the pinnacle experts.
But with divinity's infusion, the Divine Martial Dao has arisen, and Divine Martial Martial Gods have become a reality.
Calling forth a single Temple God poses no issue, but too many could disrupt the human world's Divine Cultivation.
Worse, it risks stirring the fury of those horrifying entities in the Strange Que.
Recall how, when we called on Lord Dog to topple the Golden Heavenly King Temple God, that enraged azure hand emerged—its dread presence forced even Lord Dog to curb his own aura, fearing detection.
Thus, while summoning gods offers a fast track for Divine Embryo Cultivation, Li Che favors a steadier path.
As he refined the Divine Crystal, he kept a vigilant watch over Xi Xi's circumstances.
Witnessing Xi Xi deploy the Divine Talisman Array alongside the Guanyin Lotus Bullet to form an interconnected Emperor Mushroom Formation.
Li Che himself couldn't suppress a flicker of astonishment.
"Emperor Xi Xi's Mushroom Formation? That's impressive..."
"By using a Divine Talisman as the core, combined with the Guanyin Lotus Bullet's array nodes, the blast from those five detonated Guanyin Lotus Bullets surpasses what five separate explosions could achieve!"
"This might... rivals the force of seven Lotus Bullets going off together! It squeezes every bit of power from just five!"
Even as Xi Xi's dad, Li Che found himself in awe of his girl's clever scheme.
Divine Talisman Mechanism Array?
This kid has truly picked up some real skills from her lessons with Great Elder Fang Hanshu!
"This little one... might she actually slay a Martial Saint before turning eight?"
Li Che's features lit up with emotion.
Drawing from his vast battles against Martial Saints, Li Che knew the Emperor Mushroom Formation's blast could gravely wound a First Level Martial Saint—and with fortune... outright end them.
A thread of Li Che's awareness began to gather.
His daughter's landmark achievement.
As her father, he had to see it unfold firsthand.
...
...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Fierce winds roared without end.
Xi Xi, riding the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, drew in heavy breaths, gazing in a daze at the five mushroom clouds below that gradually crumbled and faded away.
At her back, the Eight-Armed Three-Faced Hell Lotus Unbreakable Divine Image took shape, and after a full year of tireless training, the Divine Image had advanced at a remarkable rate.
