As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1755 - 457: A Lawless Monkey Dwells in the Heart, Gathering the Final Qitian Mask Piece
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
At that moment, a message surfaced in his mind, flowing like a refreshing stream.
Suddenly, Li Che sensed the stars and rivers shifting across the heavens, with constellations realigning.
The world grew remarkably sharper, from the whisper of leaves and the sway of blades of grass to the tumble of pebbles over the earth, all now vividly clear to him.
The knowledge flooding his thoughts gradually formed into a complete martial arts technique.
Li Che's emotions settled; his eyes fluttered open, scanning the details of the 'Heavenly Gang Immortal Martial 72 Changes.'
An inheritance of martial arts!
A faint spark lit in Li Che's eyes; had he gained a Qitian inheritance?
Surprise washed over him mildly, as he hadn't anticipated that satisfying the young monkey's wish to transform would grant him such a legacy.
The [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit within his chest stirred, plunging Li Che into a hazy genius-like state for martial arts, allowing him a basic evaluation of this technique.
'Immortal Seed Martial Arts!'
Li Che let out a breath.
From his assessment, he had discerned the level of the martial art he received, matching the Immortal Seed Martial Arts [Qilin Suppression Seal] given to Xi Xi upon progressing from infancy to school age!
Truly an excellent beginning!
Yet, before he could probe deeper into this technique, Li Che noticed the view around him shifting once more.
Mystical mists swirled and enveloped everything, as the young monkey, seated in the Daoist temple absorbing teachings and formally taking up discipleship, at last completed his training and made his way back.
In a single bound, he flipped through the air like rolling clouds, covering vast distances instantly.
Cascades of water erupted, creating illusory veils.
Monkeys across the mountain range cheered in delight, their demon energy surging and mingling wildly!
Li Che affixed the Divine Monkey Mask to his face and lifted his gaze to confront a fearsome Great Demon looming ahead, its ominous demon energy twisting and dominating the space.
Certain demons towered like mountains, others raged like mighty oxen, while some resembled enormous birds whose wings blanketed the sky...
The demon energy appeared to scour the entire world, blanketing the immense firmament!
The abrupt transformation of the scene even startled Li Che, bringing a slight flush to his cheeks.
These Great Demons left Li Che mildly baffled, though the confusion quickly faded.
For his thoughts turned to the Qitian Temple, to the Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint Qi Tian...
A title befitting a Demon Saint!
Having mastered his apprenticeship and arts, he returned to the mountains to rise as a Demon Saint?
That seemed likely.
The young monkey's bearing had transformed entirely, shedding the prior look of donning baggy Daoist robes with an innocent plea for discipleship.
Now, he wielded true mastery, channeling the formidable Divine Skills of a Demon Saint!
Demon energy roiled, twisting and surging unchecked.
As the Demon Saint Monkey King, his expression turned somewhat fierce, openly displaying pride and savagery, with demon energy churning and billowing.
He lounged casually on the Demon Saint throne, slouched without formality, one foot swinging idly, the other hanging loose, exuding wild extravagance.
And the formidable Great Demon, emanating terrifying demon energy, positioned itself behind the Monkey King, its eyes tracking his to settle on Li Che, who wore the Divine Monkey Mask.
Li Che abruptly realized why the Demon Race felt so assured in provoking Temple God Resonance to claim the Qitian inheritance.
It all converged to this point!
Demon Saint Qi Tian!
'Kid, if you wish to join my Huaguo Mountain, what demon clan do you hail from? Are you truly one of us?'
'Show us some demon energy!'
Li Che listened and offered a soft smile.
'Very well.'
The [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit in his chest rumbled and quivered.
Instantly, demon energy exploded outward with thunderous force, Li Che's whole presence flipped dramatically, morphing into the Night Bat Demon God in a flash, then the Heavenly Crane Demon God, followed by countless other Demon Race forms siphoned via the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit.
'Demon... I can become one as well.'
...
...
Qi Tian City.
The initial three hundred zhang of the Inner City.
Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, Fang Hanshu, and their companions halted, shrouded in enigmatic mist, their attention fixed on Li Che donning the Divine Monkey Mask.
Alongside them, numerous participants in the Temple God Resonance who hadn't succeeded were also ousted, arriving at the three hundred zhang mark beyond the Inner City.
Gazing at the revealed Inner Sect gateway, all bore faces etched with resignation.
Most Divine Sect cultivators pulled back reluctantly, yet to their surprise, several refused to yield, pressing on through the mystical fog toward the Inner City portal, inching nearer.
Lv Taibai and the rest felt a touch of despair; though missing out on Temple God Resonance wasn't catastrophic.
Still, securing Temple God Resonance would undoubtedly be a boon.
With his silver locks whipping in the wind, Lv Taibai displayed lingering reluctance; even a brief moment of Temple God Resonance eluded him, leaving him truly downcast.
He glanced toward the Grand Prospect Dynasty group, where Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and others appeared to have attuned to Temple God Resonance, advancing steadily.
Moreover, the Western Regions Buddha Land, Da Li Royal Court, and Ten Thousand Rivers' Demon Race had all synced with Temple God Resonance, progressing slowly from the three hundred zhang line.
'Why is that...?'
Frustration gnawed at Lv Taibai.
Fang Hanshu turned a page in the Holy Sage Book, casting a casual look his way: 'It's simple to figure out.'
'Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint Qi Tian embodies all four elements, as I mentioned... Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and Da Li Royal Court officials align with the governance element, which ties to the Qitian essence.'
'Western Regions Buddha Land connects to the Fighting aspect, while Ten Thousand Rivers Demon Race obviously links to the Demon Saint...'
'Resonance begets resonance.'
'Everyone holds a certain level of affinity, and at the last hundred zhang, the true contest will unfold.'
