As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1764 - 459: All Gods Arrive to Guard Equaling Heaven, Heart Monkey Fire Refines Dragon Elephant Immortal Seed to Major Accomplishment
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Beneath the Qitian Mask, Li Che's gaze deepened gradually.
The whole Inner City rested deep within the Inner Mysterious Que. For reasons unknown, a faint but intense unease gripped Li Che. This disquieting sensation proved overwhelmingly potent.
It felt as though a massive dread was swiftly advancing from beyond the Inner City, originating from the profound depths of the Mysterious Que.
This warning stemmed from an acute sense of peril, utterly terrifying, making one's spirit tremble with instinctive near-panic.
Li Che chose not to rush and join Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, and the rest right away.
Unnecessary as it was, he intended to navigate the Inner City solo this time around.
Besides, their objectives aligned completely, all aiming for that opulent palace perched on a modest hill deep inside the Inner City.
Unlike others, Li Che knew that a stone coffin hid within that palace, containing the Heavenly Corpse.
Yet, most powerhouses here differed from Li Che, a novice cultivator with scant knowledge of the Mysterious Temple's secrets and explorations. These veterans had tackled numerous Mysterious Temple digs, boasting personal insights into such haunting domains.
Lv Qiankun, as a grandmaster, stood out exceptionally, while even Fang Hanshu concealed vast mysteries, serving as a God Hunter Killer from the Hunting God Pavilion with Divine Tribulation Realm cultivation.
Hence, Li Che saw no reason to track down Lv Taibai and his companions.
Regarding forming alliances against foes...
Truth be told, Li Che had advanced to a stage where he could composedly decide on alliances, thanks to the strength that emboldened him to stand firm and declare his stance.
Regrettably, he currently lacked the means to slay that Two Calamities Demon God Venerable, the Black Bear.
"This Inner City hosts not just the Qi Tian Mysterious Temple but also the inaugural Divine Sect, the Equal Heaven Temple, which forfeited its legacy and resource stockpiles for 500 years."
A slight ripple crossed Li Che's thoughts, and with a finger snap, a dark chess piece twisted and expanded swiftly in front of him, morphing into the deferential figure of the Night Bat Demon God.
"Lord!"
"We've arrived at the Inner City—your moment to shine has come."
Li Che regarded the Night Bat and stated serenely.
The Night Bat proclaimed his expertise in treasure seeking.
In truth, Li Che excelled at treasure seeking too, thanks to the Heaven and Earth chessboard that allowed swift scans of various locales.
Still, he wasn't a specialist, lacking the Night Bat's sharp instinct for unearthing valuables.
Naturally, should Li Che commit to a thorough hunt, the Heaven and Earth chessboard could probe every palace and uncover hidden gems.
But such effort seemed pointless and overly draining on the mind and time.
Therefore, he'd have the Night Bat Demon God pinpoint treasure spots first, then team up for the haul.
His plan involved dispatching the Night Bat to scout ahead, locating the Equal Heaven Temple's inheritance and resource vaults.
"Fear not, my lord! The bat has it all under control!"
The Night Bat Demon God brimmed with excitement—it was his chance to impress his lord at last!
Li Che gave a subtle nod, and the Night Bat Demon God spread his wings, darting off rapidly as ultrasonic waves emanated, rippling outward in expanding circles, flooding every direction.
The Night Bat Demon God had first assumed a Soul Capturing guise, trailing the Black Bull Demon God Venerable as a covert assailant. But potent teleportation energies had split them apart.
That separation allowed Li Che to summon the Night Bat Demon God so confidently.
With the Night Bat Demon God departed, Li Che's gaze swept the area; spotting a palace with sealed entrances, he tapped the ground lightly with his foot and instantly propelled toward it.
The Inner City contrasted sharply with the Outer City.
Denser Mysterious Fog enshrouded it, laced with vivid divinity and Dao Yun; evidently, this qualified as a genuine Mysterious Land.
Li Che sensed that here, his power flowed freely without any constraints.
He selected a palace, shoved the door open, and entered.
Dust billowed up, a structure sealed away for 500 years now exposed to light again.
This edifice dated from Qi Tian City's zenith, now swept by Li Che's formidable Heaven and Earth Soul.
It had belonged to a Four-Transformation Peak Martial Saint; Li Che noticed a weapon stand bearing a Divine Weapon. Despite centuries passed, the Divine Weapon radiated divine glow, its quality flawless.
Furthermore, numerous jars and vials held elixirs, though most Dan Jade Bottles stood empty, evidently depleted by prior visitors.
Having probed the palace with his mighty Heaven and Earth Soul, Li Che grasped its full layout.
With countless palaces dotting the Inner City, did each signify a Peak Martial Saint or a Four Divine Changes Great God?
The notion grew more convincing the longer he pondered.
Indeed, the Equal Heaven Temple once wielded such assurance and wealth.
Back then, as the premier Divine Sect worldwide, its count and groundwork of Divine Tribulation Cultivators dwarfed those of modern Divine Sects!
Legends spoke of the Equal Heaven Temple's Inner City sealing shut suddenly, entombing most of its elite, sparking its decline, all while rumors persisted of concealed inheritances within.
Presently, that intelligence appeared solidly trustworthy.
Yet, the Absolute Peak Martial Saint of this palace had vanished, perhaps morphed into a Cursed Corpse?
Li Che let out a soft sigh; a musty decay permeated the entire palace.
