As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1654 - 434: Five Centuries of Watching Time—Immortal Artisan Ascends to Level 7, Myriad Forms Divine Machine Demon Ape Breaks Out From the Mountain [Seeking Monthly Ticket]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The city gates required no siege at all; a traitor from inside had already wrenched them open by force!
The imperial troops surged forward without pause, cutting down foes as they advanced on the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's mountain entrance.
The imperial army seized control of Guangling Dao City in one swift move.
Boom——!!!
From the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's direction, figures dressed in Alchemy Master garments plummeted down at great speed.
"Lord State Preceptor, our Sect Master Gu Changqing battled for the court and fell on the field of war!"
"Why must the State Preceptor show no pity and strike at our Heavenly Pill Divine Sect?"
These were the senior elders of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, standing high above.
Fury twisted their faces, yet under that anger, traces of dread began to surface.
But Xie Yushen merely fluttered his feather fan with ease.
From his seat in the palanquin, he spoke a single command: "Kill."
This was the Lord's conviction.
Xie Yushen simply had to execute the Lord's conviction.
The Lord, of course, understood the hardships the young lord endured while training in this place.
The Lord cherished the young lord deeply, but these Heavenly Pill Divine Sect members had plotted to seize the young lord as a living ingredient for their pills; they merited death!
Grandmaster Huang Mei acted with fierce zeal, his Buddha Light sharp as a blade, slashing down in an instant. Right away, alchemists were run through and slain where they stood by his Buddha Light.
The very moment Grandmaster Huang Mei started his slaughter.
A surge of Qi laced with terror erupted from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's mountain gate, like dark clouds swelling and rippling outward in waves.
A colossal pill furnace rocketed into the sky.
In front of the pill furnace, an elderly plump man clad in Daoist robes narrowed his eyes as he emerged.
The Power of Disaster bellowed and crashed like thunder!
"Great Vista... What are you planning to do?!"
"Do you honestly think our Heavenly Pill Divine Sect lacks defenders?"
This figure was none other than the Grandmaster of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, Gu Yangxuan.
Behind Gu Yangxuan, the massive pill furnace flipped open its lid at once, and tiny pill furnaces the size of palms flew out one by one, growing larger mid-air. Their lids lifted, exposing twisted visages crammed within.
A thick medicinal aroma wafted across the heavens and earth, tugging at the senses.
Xie Yushen remained utterly unmoved, his eyes narrowing a bit, while Gu Qianchi at his side gazed at Gu Yangxuan with revulsion; sword light rang out sharply, shooting upward.
Gu Yangxuan shot a look at Gu Qianchi, his face darkening horribly as vapors poured endlessly from the pill furnace at his back.
Not long before, after misplacing a top-tier human ingredient, Gu Yangxuan had raged without end.
And now, Xie Yushen led the imperial army to assault the mountain and shatter the sect, aiming straight for the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect; it felt like Sect Master Gu Changqing's death meant nothing!
Gu Yangxuan narrowed his eyes: "Xie Yushen, do you truly believe our Heavenly Pill Divine Sect can be pushed around?"
"With only Gu Qianchi, plus a wounded Zhao Beidou, you think you can conquer our Heavenly Pill Divine Sect?"
Gu Yangxuan let out a cold laugh.
"Yin Xuan, rise up, Qi Tian City will soon unlock, no more slumber..."
"Time for the world to remember us, the Yin Yang duo!"
...
...
Golden Light Prefecture.
Divine Carving Ridge.
Li Che sat with legs crossed before the Extended Arm Heavenly Armor, persisting in altering the Mechanism Seal, much like a person swapping out their blood entirely — reshaping the Mechanism Seal meant renewing every drop in the Mechanical Beast.
This undertaking was monumental and demanded caution.
Furthermore, each tweak to the Mechanism Seal drained Li Che's Heaven and Earth Soul.
Luckily, thanks to the direct aid of the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, adjusting the Mechanism Seal proved not overly taxing for Li Che.
As he worked on the seal.
Li Che split his attention to monitor the fight unfolding with Xie Yushen.
After all, should Xie Yushen succeed in toppling the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, it would hand Li Che a vast hoard of pills like a treasure trove.
Buzz buzz buzz——
The view shifted.
Li Che gradually opened his eyes, his brows knitting together slightly: "Gu Yinxuan... the Grandmaster Yin Xuan of the Yin Yang duo, creator of the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill, master of such a deadly Heavenly Poison Pill?"
The Yin Yang duo...
If the Yin Yang duo joined forces for real, Xie Yushen's present troops would struggle to overcome them.
Thus...
Li Che smiled faintly, a eerie gleam flickering in his gaze: "Perfect timing... time for Xiao Jiu to stretch her wings."
With a snap of his fingers.
A chess piece radiating savage intensity dropped onto the board.
Once that was done.
Li Che turned his mind back to the Extended Arm Heavenly Armor in front of him.
Boom——!!!
The Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit shook with great force, and at last, every Mechanism Seal had been swapped out, countless seals evolving into Wanxiang Nine Divine Seals!
Li Che sensed the bond between himself and this divine mechanism of the realm clearly now.
Hmm?
Deep in the core of this divine mechanism, Li Che detected a sleeping awareness.
And as Li Che finished the seal change, that sleeping awareness stirred to life gradually.
The awareness drifted forth, puzzled at first, then astonished, next enraged, and ultimately shifting to a hint of awe and a soft exhale.
"To think someone replaced my Tang Family Mechanism Seals with entirely new ones..."
"These fresh Mechanism Seals, full of endless variations, are truly remarkable... wonderful wonderful wonderful!"
After the exhale, the awareness overflowed with admiration.
Tang Family’s Ancestor?
Li Che's heart stirred a touch, caught off guard.
"My Tang Family Mechanism... lives on through heirs!"
"Hahahahaha——"
In the midst of the hearty laughs, the concealed intent of the Tang Family’s Ancestor inside the mechanism sparked into flames, forming a majestic Dao Yun Power that swiftly coursed through the whole structure.
Tang Sanjia had rushed to the mountain's interior the instant the Tang Family’s Ancestor’s intent began to move.
