As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1672: 438: As a Soul Capturing God, You're Teaching Me? Gathering Qi Fortune to Form the Twelve-Petal Mountain and River Golden Lotus [Monthly Ticket]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
“I will certainly not disappoint my lord!”
“Yet, my lord… the higher the poison pill’s rank, the more cultivation it demands… I must boost my own cultivation!”
“As for the Ninth Heaven Poison Pill [Three-legged Golden Toad Pendant] next in line, with my present level at One Calamity and Two Tribulations, I can surely refine it… However, the eighth-ranked [Thousand Bone Centipede Powder] demands I advance to One Disaster and Three Tribulations, or else I’ll perish from the poison…”
Gu Yinxuan explained.
Li Che, upon hearing those words, glanced back at him.
The whole of Mo City rang with the shrill cries of Gu Yangxuan as he was torn apart and consumed…
“Proceed with the refinement, proceed to your death—perhaps that’s the path to success, much like Gu Changqing’s triumph with the initial Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill.”
“Moreover, advancing in Soul Capturing proves simpler than you might think.”
“Stay calm, no need to hasten.”
Gu Yinxuan, taking in these words, clasped his hands and bowed his head, a touch of bewilderment washing over him…
Indeed, at this moment… death held no terror for him.
Was it possible that these poison pills, beyond his current cultivation, could truly be forged by wagering his very life?
Li Che paid no further mind to Gu Yinxuan, instead gathering three Four Imperial Taoist Divine Crystals along with ten Lower Three Pure Ones Divine Crystals.
He set aside the alchemy materials for Gu Changqing.
As the Poison Saint, Gu Yinxuan shone in crafting poison pills, yet he fell short in standard elixir production.
Though Gu Yinxuan had ascended to half-immortal status as a pill master via poison refinements, his skill with ordinary elixirs lagged behind Gu Changqing’s expertise.
In this way, the duo—one embodying righteousness, the other evil—flawlessly met every demand Li Che placed upon them.
With a mere flicker of intent, Li Che departed from the Underworld Fengdu.
…
…
Guangling Dao City.
The toxic mist had fully cleared and disappeared.
Gu Qianchi fixed his gaze intently on Mo City Fengdu, utterly stunned as the Underworld Fengdu’s entrance gradually dissolved from view.
What had become of Gu Yinxuan and Gu Yangxuan?
Had they perished?
Yet, if death had claimed them, signs would have stirred in the heavens and earth, but nothing emerged, proving they lived. Then where could they be?
Had they fled?
Tension gripped Gu Qianchi entirely, the dread inspired by the Poison Saint Gu Yinxuan proving immense…
Fortune favored him, for he had stayed out of the fray; a mere brush with that venom could have inflicted grave wounds.
Xie Yushen’s eyes sparkled with insight, as Li Che’s message reached him in an instant, revealing Gu Yangxuan’s total rout—he had served as sustenance for countless half-step Divine Tribulations, elite peaks, and more…
These would transform into elixirs propelling numerous Soul Capturers toward breakthroughs.
Heavenly Pill Divine Sect…
Had fallen!
Even as a Soul Capturer now, Xie Yushen clung to his convictions. He battled now for his lord, striking down and dismantling sects!
No longer did he strive for Great Vista, but solely for his lord…
Hence, the triumphant assault and demolition of a Great Divine Sect, claiming its full fortune, filled Xie Yushen with delight!
Buzz——
Gu Qianchi descended elegantly beside Xie Yushen, grasping the turn of events right then.
Xie Yushen alighted from the sedan, fanning himself softly with a feather fan, clad in flowing crane robes.
He advanced at an unhurried pace, with Grandmaster Huang Mei trailing silently.
The party gradually ascended toward the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect.
Battered by Gu Yinxuan’s treachery, countless disciples of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect succumbed to poison, while a handful of alchemy masters endured by swallowing antidote pills.
Martial Saints, Divine Fetuses, and fellow cultivators clung to life by the slimmest margins.
All the rest faced total annihilation.
Xie Yushen flicked his feather fan lightly, prompting the imperial troops to swiftly subdue and capture the remaining Heavenly Pill Divine Sect cultivators.
Xie Yushen proceeded directly to the Sect Master Peak of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect.
He positioned himself upon the grand platform of the primary summit.
Dark clouds churned wildly, while flakes of white snow danced through the air.
Xie Yushen approached the cliff’s brink, perched atop the mountain, surveying all of Guangling Dao City below.
“We’ve assaulted and razed a sect—the inaugural divine sect, now obliterated!”
Xie Yushen proclaimed boldly.
His declaration ignited the court army into fervor, as they raised weapons and spears, bellowing in triumphant zeal.
To the court forces, this clash… marked a thrilling conquest!
Victory had at last arrived.
Another defeat would have sown seeds of despair in their hearts.
But now, guided by the State Preceptor, they had toppled a divine sect that dominated an entire dao path!
Xie Yushen retrieved a petite tripod from the Qiankun Jade, then drew forth a gourd brimming with stored Rain Root Water.
Once the small tripod brimmed with Rain Root Water,
Xie Yushen withdrew a step, performing the ritual of three bows and nine prostrations, akin to honoring the heavens and earth, invoking the mountains and rivers!
Rumble——
In the instant that followed, amid the astounded stares of Gu Qianchi and his companions,
the small tripod quivered faintly, as though compelling the whole mountain gate of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect to tremble in response.
Mountains and rivers shuddered, gusts of air swirled in turbulent flows!
Across the realm, raindrops fractured and hazed over.
Within the small tripod, a golden lotus emerged gradually.
The Golden Lotus unfurled amid heaven and earth, undulating softly, for it had amassed the fortune of the entire Heavenly Pill Divine Sect!
At this juncture, the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect’s fortune had coalesced into the Luck Golden Lotus!
Great Vista’s Eleven Paths’ fortune—one path reclaimed!
…
…
Divine Capital.
First City.
Boom boom boom boom——
Palace Temple, Cloud Palace.
The palace towered imposingly, splendid and vast!
The Emperor occupied the throne, the Empress seated elegantly nearby, while officials arrayed below, gripping white jade scepters, heads bowed in deference.
As tolling bells echoed from afar, a spark of elation lit the Emperor’s eyes, veiled by divine aura.
He rose abruptly, his golden robes billowing, gaze alight with intensity, directed toward the Second City within the Divine Capital, site of the Lotus Pavilion.
