As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1710: 446: Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit 5 Sheds Primordial Water Tribulation, Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint Qi Tian Mysterious Temple

Yet Ji Liqing had no clue that right after Ji Moli's demise and the strange signs of the Divine Tribulation emerged, Wei Yuan, the demon son from the Corpse God Cult, would abruptly arrive at the Royal Mansion.

“Intrusion?”

“You don’t have the slightest notion of what transpired…”

“Ji Moli is gone, he’s simply perished, but do you grasp the idiotic act he committed?”

“He went and squandered six Corpse God Marks, leading to the entrapment and demise of our cult’s painstakingly nurtured six Corpse Gods!”

Wei Yuan’s tone turned rougher and far more chilling!

In the instant that followed.

Dreadful death Qi along with Corpse Qi erupted from his dark robe!

“Ji Moli… what a utter failure!”

“His bloodline has been squandered in vain like that.”

“The Cult Leader intended to hold off until the Martial Path advanced to Martial God… before consuming Ji Moli entirely! Gulping down his flesh and bones, his Dao Soul, his bloodline, and every bit of his body’s Blood Soul!”

“All to allow the Great Corpse God to fully revive and descend upon us!”

“Yet he perished so pointlessly, and even forfeited the invaluable Corpse God Seal belonging to our cult!”

“He truly merited death, what a complete waste!”

Wei Yuan’s words chilled to an unfathomable degree, as waves of Death Qi crashed down savagely, grotesque and swollen flesh materialized, hideously repulsive, a monstrous corpse god hybrid with four twisting heads emerged within King Ping Luan’s Royal Mansion.

“You two still carry Ji Moli’s bloodline and Blood Soul essence inside you…”

“Hand it over!”

Boom—

Cataclysmic blasts exploded without delay from King Ping Luan’s Royal Mansion!

Ji Liqing and Ji Lihong’s agonized cries pierced the heavens abruptly.

…

…

“Daddy, rest easy, we’ll act properly.”

Xi Xi cocked her head, flashing an adorable and compliant grin.

Yun E and Zhou Peng mirrored that grin, both easing up after shifting into Soul Capturing form.

Soul Capturing granted them a fresh start, a liberated existence free from the Temple God’s bindings.

The pair brimmed with joy; Yun E’s innate icy demeanor returned with the Temple God’s absence, while Zhou Peng could finally stop stuffing his face nonstop.

Naturally, the lingering effects of the Temple God would linger somewhat, though these could be managed.

It resembled a mere routine, and if it bothered them, shaking off that routine was all it took.

Li Che gazed at these young ones with a mix of exasperation.

Following a grueling half-day debate, Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, and Fang Hanshu, together with Li Che, settled on a plan for the four kids’ forthcoming trials.

Instead of rushing straight north to the True Martial Divine Sect on Tongyou Road.

They opted to detour to Qi Tian City first, letting them experience the wider world and face some challenges.

Li Che found it impossible to deny the little girl Xi Xi’s playful pleas.

“Daddy, let Xi Xi explore the world~”

Xi Xi pursed her lips, tugging at Li Che’s arms with both hands, swinging them back and forth, her wide eyes brimming with eagerness, a touch of complaint, and deep yearning…

For the first time since she was little, his daughter was wheedling him like this.

In the end, Li Che relented.

Chiefly because he trusted his ability to safeguard Xi Xi.

Should danger arise, he could simply whisk her to Mo City and vanish via Flying Thunder.

When escaping, Li Che believed no one in this realm could outpace him.

Even against a Second Calamity Divine Tribulation Cultivator, he felt assured of spiriting Xi Xi away unharmed.

In the final analysis, after conferring with Lv Taibai and the rest, Li Che approved the young ones’ plea.

Buzz—

Lv Taibai called forth the Taibai Sword, a silver gleam shot skyward, swiftly swelling into an enormous flying sword.

Slicing through the clouds, Lv Taibai flaunted it grandly for his treasured disciple.

Sword Qi surged wildly as the group departed Luoyun City, resuming their journey, speeding toward Qi Tian City in Jianzhou Wenling Prefecture.

Within mere hours, they crossed into Wenling Prefecture’s domain.

The moment they stepped into Wenling Prefecture, a fearsome demon energy enveloped the skies and lands, twisting everywhere!

Perched cross-legged upon the flying sword, Li Che clutched a Lower Three Pure Ones Divinity Crystal, his eyes snapping open, strange hues dancing inside.

“This demon energy is astonishingly thick…”

Lv Taibai couldn’t help marveling aloud.

“Far thicker than it was five centuries back…”

Fang Hanshu nodded gravely in agreement: “Qi Tian City’s awakening lures not just Great Vista, but the whole realm.”

“The demon race began scheming five hundred years prior. The bizarre demon caves in the All Gods Camp forged ties with the demon race ages ago…”

“Word is, those dwelling in Qi Tian City today… could include a horrifying Two Disasters Demon God!”

Fang Hanshu’s ominous remark made Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, and the others’ faces shift subtly.

“Two Disasters Demon God?!”

Li Che reacted with evident astonishment upon hearing it.

Xi Xi and the other youths craned their necks, hanging on every word.

“How can a being at the Two Disasters Realm manifest in the mortal realm? Wouldn’t it face the Heaven and Earth Will’s Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations lock the instant it shows?”

Li Che inquired.

Fang Hanshu eyed Li Che, catching a hint in his gaze. Had his true nature been uncovered?

But before Fang Hanshu could respond.

It was the usually reticent Grandmaster Lv Qiankun who broke his silence: “Qi Tian City… stands apart from everywhere else…”

“The Yi Tian Temple Strange Que perches where the Inner and Earth Deceit Que meet, and the thick Mysterious Fog it unleashes turns all of Qi Tian City into a pseudo-Strange Que.”

“Admittedly, it differs from an authentic Strange Que, yet Qi Tian City boasts direct passages to both the Inner and Earth Deceit Que…”

“Still, it’s no genuine Strange Que; merely the mirage born from the excessive Mysterious Fog.”

“That said, the Mysterious Fog is authentic. While it can’t fully bypass the Heaven and Earth Calamity like a real Strange Que, it substantially dilutes the Heaven and Earth Will’s Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations lock.”

Lv Qiankun’s expression grew profoundly stern and focused.

Li Che grasped the underlying cause. Small wonder so many powerhouses converged on Qi Tian City.

The Yi Tian Temple, erected over a Three Pure Bizarre Temple, now crumbled, with the Mysterious Temple in turmoil, nearly swallowing the whole of Qi Tian City…

“The demon race insists the Qi Tian Temple God sprang from their kind, seizing Qi Tian City under some excuse long ago. Unsurprisingly, Great Vista refuses to abandon it… Rumors suggest a Great Vista Royal Family elder guards Qi Tian City, though the demon race holds the upper hand in strength there.”

“Over the past five centuries, Qi Tian City has morphed into a demon race stronghold…”

“Thus, stepping into Qi Tian City carries real peril.”

Fang Hanshu supplemented.

As the group’s talk paused briefly.

The Taibai Sword cleaved through the heavens, revealing amid the hills and marshes a splendid and imposing city, veiled in swirling gray haze, standing vast and lavish in the distance!

Li Che’s eyes flickered open and shut, radiating the sharpest glow.

His sight locked onto Qi Tian City.

Inside his right arm.

The Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod quivered without cease, on the verge of unleashing a dazzling radiance, as though fusing with that very city.

And in the Energy Center’s Inner Scene, the Heaven and Earth chessboard unfurled wide.

The [Equal to Heaven’s Face] hovering over the chessboard appeared nearly animated!

As if poised to shatter the Heaven and Earth chessboard, morphing into a True Ape, and unleashing a thunderous, horrifying bellow at Qi Tian City!

Across the heavens and earth.

The immense demon energy, the sea-vast divinity, the overpowering Dao Yun…

Entwined in a hazy, surreal vision.

Li Che remained seated cross-legged on the flying sword.

He lifted his hand, tapping his forehead.

His skin parted asunder.

Star Plucking Pupil!

Direct scrutiny!

Boundless dissection, Piercing through Deception and Unveiling Reality!
