As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1648 - 433: Seven-Year-Old Xi Xi Ascends as Qian Yuan Sect Master, Tang’s Divine Machine Extended Arm Heavenly Armor [Seeking Monthly Ticket]...

Lv Taibai shook his head slowly.

His eyes shifted to Li Che: "A Che, I've just advanced to the Divine Tribulation Realm... I'll need to spend most of my days inside the Strange Que, since that's the only spot where I can truly advance further, so the role of Qian Yuan Divine Sect Master... maybe once Xi Xi comes back from her training, we'll go ahead with the handover."

"Xi Xi, serving as the Young Sect Master, and me, as the current Sect Master, stepping aside. Of course, she ought to step up..."

Lv Taibai's statement caught Li Che off guard for a moment.

What?!

"Xi Xi is just seven years old..." Li Che muttered, smacking his lips.

A seven-year-old leading the Divine Sect as Master...

It sure rings with some flair, yet doesn't it feel a bit premature?

Truth be told, the child remains quite young still.

Lv Taibai chuckled: "Seven years old? What's the issue? Xi Xi's fighting strength isn't feeble at all—thanks to those Mechanical Techniques you've passed on to her, she can hold her own against a Martial Saint... Plus, with you and Old Fang supporting the little one in the Divine Sect, stability is well in hand."

"And you, you sneaky fellow... I can't quite gauge your depths anymore all of a sudden."

"With your presence, we can draw on the Underworld's might, which will surely help Xi Xi claim the Sect Master spot firmly."

"On top of that, I'm not gone for good; I'll simply retreat into the Strange Que or a Small Cave Heaven, much like the Grandmaster, to refine my grasp of Disaster and Tribulation power."

"This Sect Master position—the girl is bound to inherit it eventually, whether now or later, it won't matter much."

"Her power may fall short at present, but that's just due to her age. This Xi Xi, her potential stretches endlessly; she's more than fit to lead the Qian Yuan Divine Sect."

"If anyone in the sect objects, I'll set them straight personally."

Lv Taibai swept his wide sleeves, hiding the gusts within, and let out a soft laugh.

Li Che listened and offered a warm smile: "You're right; the Qian Yuan Divine Sect stands at its strongest now, backed by the Grandmaster, the Sect Master, myself, Old Fang, and the rest... honestly, the little one can just serve as a figurehead Sect Master in the meantime."

"Hahaha, a figurehead? That's a spot-on way to put it."

Lv Taibai roared with laughter.

"Once the girl wraps up her training and returns, we'll organize the rite for her to take over as Sect Master, and some key inheritances need to be handed to her then."

Li Che's eyes gleamed as he regarded Lv Taibai; after a brief pause, he inquired: "Sect Master, with the Qian Yuan Divine Sect now guarded by two Divine Tribulation experts—the Grandmaster at the One Calamity and Two Tribulations stage, and yourself—our standing among the Dajing Eleven Divine Sects ought to climb significantly, no?"

Lv Taibai narrowed his eyes at that: "It ought to... we'd likely enter the top five at least, though cracking the top three seems unlikely."

"The Purple Mansion Divine Sect under the Heavenly Master Dao, the Little Lingyin Temple of the Xiling Road, and the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South Sea Dao... in my view, these three stand as the undisputed leaders, each backed by no fewer than two Divine Tribulations or Martial Gods."

"And the Heavenly Master Dao's Purple Mansion Divine Sect? They definitely command more than a pair of Divine Tribulations."

Lv Taibai's tone grew grave.

"The Purple Mansion Divine Sect follows a path of unity with the Temple God... they draw on the Temple God's blessings for their strength, fueling a swift ascent... and as the most ancient Divine Sect, it thrived even in the Equal Heaven Temple's prime, never once faltering as a force."

Lv Taibai's face turned utterly serious as he referenced the Purple Mansion Divine Sect.

At the Chulong Victory Conference, Xi Xi had slain the Purple Mansion Divine Sect's top Chulong, Zhang Yunlong, forging a grudge that now runs deep.

Indeed, the Imperial Court arranged the Flat Peach Victory Meeting partly to stir rivalries and conflicts among the Divine Sects, keeping them from uniting.

"When Qi Tian City unlocks this time, the Purple Mansion Divine Sect... they won't stay idle for sure; they might even seek to revive the Equal Heaven Temple's splendor!" Lv Taibai declared with firm conviction.

"The splendor of the Equal Heaven Temple?"

Li Che narrowed his gaze.

Lv Taibai's silver locks whipped about fiercely: "Yes, the era when half the world's Qi Fortune converged in Equal Heaven!"

"The Strange Fog within the Strange Que is on the verge of erupting; the Imperial Court lets Xie Yushen ravage mountains and shatter sects, all to amass Qi Fortune, and powerhouses like the Purple Mansion, Little Lingyin Temple, and South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest won't sit this out either."

At these words, Li Che's expression shifted subtly.

Amassing Qi Fortune?

Isn't that precisely what he's been directing Xie Yushen to pursue?

This Qi Fortune...

The Imperial Court claims it, the Purple Mansion seizes it, the Little Lingyin Temple grabs it...

So why not let the Underworld collect its share too?

......Lv Taibai didn't linger much in the yard, his aura pulsing wildly and stirring the Heaven and Earth Will ceaselessly.

Lv Taibai had forged the Three Calamities Dao Position, and upon piercing the Divine Tribulation, he entered it bearing the Destruction God Wind Dao Position.

Like fellow Divine Tribulations, they endure the One Disaster One Tribulation as well, yet their Dao Position binds to the ensuing tribulations.

However, Lv Taibai's Dao Position anchors to the disasters, placing the Three Disasters above the Nine Tribulations; in terms of Dao Yun and the might of Disaster and Tribulation, Lv Taibai edges out a typical Divine Tribulation.

Advancing to Divine Tribulation demands three key steps: first, forging the Dao Position; with that set, one faces the tribulation, and success opens the Small Cave Heaven, marking the breakthrough's triumph...

Forming the Dao Position resembles gaining entry to the tribulation, the right to ascend as a Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator—much like inscribing oneself in the Heaven and Earth Will, joining the divine ranks.

Li Che picked up plenty of insights from Lv Taibai.

Just as the Old Dragon God, within a Small Cave Heaven, can fend off seven One Disaster One Tribulation cultivators alone and even dominate, this stems from his Ancestor Dragon Tribulation cultivation and the Ancestor Dragon Dao Position; along the Dragon God path, the Three Ancestor Dragon Tribulations align with the Three Disasters...
