As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1711 - 447: Temple God Resonance of the Qi Tian Mysterious Temple, How to Satisfy the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint Qi Tian Mysterious Temple!
A quiver ran through the flesh and blood between his brows.
Within the Star Plucking Pupil, a brilliant golden radiance shone, as though it was gazing deep into the secrets of the heavens and the earth.
In that shimmering glow, faintly discernible, an image appeared of a form held in suppression, endlessly writhing, bellowing, and wailing.
A torrent of demonic energy rushed outward, boundless divine power welled up, and immense Dao Yun circulated!
Myriad divine secrets burst into being!
Seated in a meditative pose atop the Flying Sword, Li Che's thick locks whipped around like streaks of dark thunder, his garments billowing noisily, and a trace of oddity flickered in his gaze.
He had outgrown the naive youth who first left Fei Lei City behind.
Li Che had beheld the Three Pure Ones Mysterious Temple of The Queen Mother of the West in the Divine Capital, and had even delved inside, claiming a Ten-thousand-year-old Peach that brought him immense gains and reshaped his very being.
Yet this marked his initial encounter with a genuine Three Pure Ones Mysterious Temple.
After all, The Queen Mother’s Mysterious Temple lay concealed by the Imperial Court, its actual position forever elusive, whereas the Qi Tian Mysterious Temple stood apart.
It lay fully exposed, perched upon the boundless plains, with its demonic essence, divine aura, and Dao Yun perpetually spilling forth from this timeless metropolis.
"This is Qi Tian City—"
Surprise gripped not just Li Che aboard the Flying Sword.
Xi Xi, Yun E, Zhou Peng, and the rest of the younger group were likewise beholding this ancient city for the very first time, overwhelmed by a suffocating weight of pressure.
It felt like an unparalleled force slamming into their very souls.
The Prison Lotus Divine Pattern on Xi Xi’s forehead vibrated, causing her eyes to gleam with increasing intensity.
Next to her, Yun E pressed her lips together, while Zhou Peng let out a soft breath as he perched on the Flying Sword.
Even after their shifts into Soul Capturings, Li Che refrained from controlling them, allowing the pair of youngsters to move as they wished, so Yun E and Zhou Peng, now Soul Capturings, experienced greater ease and liberty, feeling far more alive.
In the past, Zhou Peng would have failed to rein in his feelings, with the Temple God’s moods swaying him and even forcing his real shape to emerge without warning.
But at present, though the Temple God’s remnants still rippled through Zhou Peng’s mind, they came without the Temple God’s taint.
"Qitian..."
Zhou Peng whispered under his breath.
Lv Qiankun, Lv Taibai, and Fang Hanshu clearly had visited Qi Tian City before.
Each of them had trained in this famed city in earlier days.
"Qi Tian Temple, known fully as the Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint Qi Tian Mysterious Temple, stands as a Three Pure Ones Mysterious Temple, once towering in splendor, bolstering Equal Heaven Temple, and nearly claiming half the realm..."
"In those days, Equal Heaven Temple housed over one Divine Tribulation expert, with whispers of a Two Calamities Realm Divine Tribulation Venerable hidden in the temple’s Mysterious Que, granting it a brief era of unmatched fame."
Lv Qiankun ran a hand over his beard and let out a sigh, his gaze tinged with intricate emotions from living through that age.
Back then, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect had yet to form, and even if it had, it would have paled beside the might of Equal Heaven Temple.
Li Che found himself glancing at Lv Qiankun, curiosity sparking as he inquired: "Grandmaster, what caused Equal Heaven Temple to wane so sharply?"
"With such a host of powerhouses dwelling there, why did it fade away all at once? By rights, a Two Calamities Divine Tribulation's longevity should span thousands of years..."
Lv Qiankun shook his head: "No one knows for certain, but the prevailing view among the mighty is that Equal Heaven Temple's downfall ties to the Mysterious Que, for against the Mysterious Que... this current era truly seems frail."
Lv Qiankun released a long breath: "Deep in the Mysterious Que, within the Inner Mysterious Que, certain demonic beings warped by divinity, along with Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses, have ascended to the Divine Tribulation Realm, not to speak of the formidable Temple Guardian Curse Corpse Kings..."
"No matter Equal Heaven Temple's prowess, it crumbles before the Mysterious Que... Equal Heaven Temple merely rose beside the Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint Qi Tian Mysterious Temple, so if the Mysterious Que unleashes chaos, even the mightiest Divine Sect might not endure."
Lv Qiankun rested on the Flying Sword, his robes snapping in the breeze.
"Thus, countless powerhouses, upon attaining vast might, venture into the Mysterious Que, clashing head-on with its abyssal terrors, and only then do they grasp... that the power of this world isn't authentic might, but only the power inside the Mysterious Que counts as real."
"Naturally, the Heaven and Earth Will of the current realm is fearsome, so even Two Calamities and Three Calamities Divine Tribulation Supremes hesitate to challenge the Heaven and Earth Will by entering, forming the ultimate safeguard for this era."
Li Che felt a subtle stir in his heart at these words, lifting his gaze: "The ultimate safeguard of this era?"
To many cultivators, the might of Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations appears as a shackle, with countless Divine Tribulation Cultivators despising and dreading Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, shunning them like venomous serpents.
Yet from the Grandmaster's lips, the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations forged by the Heaven and Earth Will served as the ultimate safeguard of this era?
Lv Qiankun gave a nod: "A few perceive the truth, while others remain blind..."
"Lacking Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations... the horde of Mysterious Temples emerging here would face no bounds, allowing Temple Gods to wander the mortal realm unchecked..."
"Though Temple Gods count as fallen divinities, if they truly prowled the land, what devastation would they wreak upon the common folk?"
"Wouldn't even Martial Saints scatter like insects before a striding Temple God?"
Lv Qiankun shook his head.
"The Heaven and Earth Will shields this realm, and such bounds at times... embody a kind of safeguard."
