As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1616: 426: Becoming the Family’s Pillar in Place of Father, Incinerating the Five Realms’ King Yan Ascends as Ghost Emperor
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
“I must discover a method to bolster Xi Xi’s physique…”
“Those treasures, the Indestructible Lotus Hell Sky Silk and the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring… they absolutely need to go to Xi Xi.”
“The Indestructible Lotus Hell Sky Silk resides in the Corpse God Cult’s main base… while the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring lies within the Dragon God Lineage’s sacred grounds, right on Ancestor Dragon Island…”
Li Che narrowed his eyes, a sudden realization striking him.
“Ancestor Dragon Island…”
“Hold on, with the Dragon God Lineage preparing to emerge onto land, does that imply the Dragon God Clan plans to forsake Ancestor Dragon Island?”
“What catastrophe struck Ancestor Dragon Island, forcing the Dragon God Lineage to abandon it entirely?”
A subtle crease formed on his brow.
Questions swirled in his thoughts, and he considered calling upon the Dragon God Crown Prince for answers, yet the prince remained by the Old Dragon God’s side at present.
Such a sudden summons could risk unveiling his secrets.
“Never mind… there’s no urgency right now.”
“Once I transform the Old Dragon God into a Soul Capturing entity, the truth will come to light.”
A glint flashed in Li Che’s eyes.
Before long.
The gates of Qi Tian City stand on the verge of unlocking, and the Equal Heaven Temple’s legacy is poised to emerge, drawing countless mighty figures eager to vie for this supreme fortune at the edge of Inner Mysterious Que and Earth Deceit Que!
Masters from the Great Divine Sects, alongside powerhouses from the Corpse God Cult, the Western Regions Buddha Land, Wushen Mountain, and other factions—Divine Tribulation and Martial God level experts—will converge on Qi Tian City.
The imperial court, concealing its own Divine Tribulation and Martial God powerhouses, will dispatch them as well.
This unveiling of Qi Tian City might evolve into an epic showdown among the pinnacle experts of the human realm!
Veteran Martial Gods and Divine Tribulation Cultivators approaching their end will stake everything in one final bid.
Much like that yielding Old Dragon God who ventured into Great Vista’s domain.
Thus, Li Che anticipated the Old Dragon’s unrest.
He aimed to swiftly handle the affairs in Qianyuan Taoist City before heading to Qi Tian City.
“Rushing invites errors, exposing weaknesses…”
Li Che’s gaze shimmered.
“Hoo—”
“Sigh—”
Seated properly in the study, Li Che drew in and released breaths, causing the divine essence around him to intensify steadily.
The Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal clutched in his palm steadily extracted divinity, and as the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart took shape, his absorption rate from the crystal accelerated.
With a mere intention, wisps of golden mist materialized before him.
[Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (lv6, 40%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv7, 0%), Pure Heart (LV6, 88%), Chess Saint (LV6, 45%), Fairy in the Painting (lv6, 35%), Thunder Magnetic Dao Body (lv5, 80%), Dream Master (lv3, 95%), Ten Thousand Demon Emperor (lv5, 0%)]
Upon the Dao Tree, the ripeness levels of the diverse Dao Fruits gradually manifested in his view.
Gazing at the abundant, mature fruits mirrored in his eyes, Li Che felt the edges of his lips lift gradually.
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit’s advancement to Level 7 drew his attention for a moment longer.
Shifting his focus, his eyes settled on the Thunder Magnetic Dao Body Dao Fruit, prompting a faint furrow in his brow.
“Regrettably, even at the summit of the Mountain of Martial Arts, no Tribulation Thunder stirred since the Extreme Realm Tribulation Thunder had already been endured once.”
“Still, upon breaching the Heavenly Gate, it might finally summon the Tribulation Thunder.”
No need to hurry.
Li Che’s attention moved to the Dream Master Dao Fruit, which, true to its essence, felt ethereal and elusive like a fleeting dream.
He rarely made deliberate efforts to advance this particular Dao Fruit.
Primarily, he utilized the Dream Master Dao Fruit to weave dreamscapes for Xi Xi’s training, enabling her to progress in cultivation through slumber and sharpen her Martial Path.
For example, her Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant technique surged forward under dream guidance.
“So near now… this Dao Fruit edges closer too; upon hitting lv4 and evolving, it will unleash the Dream Butterfly Divine Ability, potentially reuniting me with Da Xixi’s form…”
A spark lit in Li Che’s eyes.
He resolved to carve out time to nurture this Dao Fruit’s growth.
Regarding the last one, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, its progression was already blisteringly swift, as gathering Demon Energy for Li Che had become a simple endeavor.
“That Old Dragon God, after all, holds the might of a Divine Tribulation Realm Dragon God—his Demon Energy far surpasses the Dragon God Crown Prince’s, even with the Dragon Emperor Pearl’s infusion!”
“I wonder if it’ll propel the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor to lv6…”
Anticipation stirred within him.
“It has to be from that Old Dragon!”
Li Che let out a profound breath; his next major leap in cultivation hinged tightly on the Old Dragon God.
He stowed the Divine Crystal away and ceased his practice.
Moderation between effort and repose forms the true path of cultivation; exiting the study, Li Che spotted the Golden-haired Hou diligently instructing Zhang Ya in her training.
Zhang Ya dripped with sweat, her form rigid, Qi-Blood surging wildly, the Nine-thousand-year Peach she had ingested delivering an enormous surge.
Though she hadn’t completely assimilated the peach’s potency yet.
Having a Nine Thousand-year-old Peach housed in her body effectively amplified her innate talent, hastening her cultivation pace dramatically.
She refused to lag behind.
Naturally, the key motivation lay elsewhere…
She yearned to match her husband’s stride, to conceive his heirs!
To present Xi Xi with a sibling or two!
Soft snowflakes danced downward, enveloping the courtyard in serene hush.
In the days that followed, Li Che avoided confining himself to the study for endless cultivation, venturing outside at times.
Engaging in drills, sipping tea, admiring the snowfall, following Emperor Xi Xi’s exploits in the jianghu…
Li Che savored a life brimming with contentment and joy.
Yet he knew deep down that these blissful moments neared their close.
As Qi Tian City’s opening loomed closer, the Old Dragon God, restless beyond doubt, would rally the imperial forces to shatter sects and conquer peaks.
