As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 1673: Chapter 438: As a Soul Capturer, You’re Teaching Me How to Do Things? Gathering Qi Fortune to Form the 12-Petal Mountain-River Golden Lotus [Monthly Ticket Requested]

The civil and military officials all looked up, seeing a golden lotus silently blossoming in the sky above the Lotus Pavilion. The golden light illuminated the entire pavilion, as if it had been coated with a layer of gold-plated brilliance!

"Luck Golden Lotus!"

"Hahaha!"

"The State Preceptor has succeeded!"

The Emperor waved his sleeve broadly, laughing aloud.

This anomaly signifies that a Divine Sect’s mountain gate has been broken, and a Luck Golden Lotus has been plucked by the State Preceptor, gathered into the Mountain and River Tripod!

This is undoubtedly a great fortune for the Da Jing Dynasty, strengthening the dynasty’s fortune.

Every Divine Sect broken by the State Preceptor, each Luck Golden Lotus gathered, strengthens Da Jing’s fortune!

Leading Da Jing toward even greater glory!

"If all the Eleven Divine Sects were to be wholly subjugated, collecting their fortune for Da Jing, combined with Da Jing’s own Luck Golden Lotus, twelve golden lotuses gathered as one, would form a Twelve-grade Mountain and River Fortune Golden Lotus!"

"Da Jing would be free from worry, extending the national fortune for three thousand years!"

The Emperor laughed heartily.

Mr. Lian’s purple robes fluttered, bowing his head, hearing the Emperor’s hearty laughter echoing within the Cloud Palace.

His gaze couldn’t help but flicker.

In the next moment, he bowed deeply and loudly proclaimed: "Heaven bless Da Jing, congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty live for ten thousand years, Da Jing endure for ten thousand years!"

The civil and military officials also held their white jade tablets, bowing together and loudly proclaiming.

"Heaven bless Da Jing, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

...

...

Five fingers gripped, holding a warm small tripod.

Li Che sat in the study, squinting his eyes, his ink-colored robes fluttered, his vigorous strands of hair drifting silently behind him.

He gripped the small tripod borrowed from Xie Yushen for observation, inside which was hidden a Luck Golden Lotus from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect!

Xie Yushen stood respectfully beside Li Che, his Confucian robe fluttering, lightly swaying a feather fan.

"Lord, the Ten Great Dao of Da Jing, there are Eleven Luck Golden Lotuses, plus Da Jing’s own national Luck Golden Lotus, if gathered for Da Jing, it would be twelve Luck Golden Lotuses."

Li Che’s eyes flickered: "If the fortune unifies, it can transform into the Twelve-grade Mountain and River Fortune Golden Lotus?"

Xie Yushen nodded: "The Twelve-grade Mountain and River Fortune Golden Lotus... is something longed for by all major dynasties in the Central Plains, a thing desired for generations of dynasties, yet only the peerless Emperor who set the precedent in ancient times managed to gather the Twelve-grade Mountain and River Fortune Golden Lotus successfully!"

"Unfortunately, that peerless Emperor had ambitious desires, intending to surpass the Martial Saint during the era unblemished by the Strange Temple, utilizing the Twelve-grade Mountain and River Fortune Golden Lotus... ultimately... fell short by a move, defeated with half a game, and perished under the heavenly tribulation."

Li Che naturally heard the legend of that first Emperor in the human world.

That supreme powerhouse of the era before the Strange Temple emerged, before divinity was born.

A truly innate genius.

Li Che did not siphon the Luck Golden Lotus within the small tripod.

He returned the small tripod to Xie Yushen.

"Old Xie, now that the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect has been subjugated, what’s the next target?"

Li Che inquired.

Xie Yushen’s eyes flickered, his feather fan lightly swaying: "Reporting to the lord..."

"Qi Tian City has opened, according to the Great Supervising Minister’s statement, this Qi Tian City... is involved greatly, concerning the connection between Inner and Earth Que of the Deceit Que Land, involving the Deceit Que Land, the secrets of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths..."

"Surely, all heroes under the heavens will gather..."

"So, the next Divine Sect to subdue cannot be Haoran Academy of Jiangnan Dao, the subordinate believes... the choice should be Qingyun Daoxuan Fu Shen Sect."

Hmm?!

Li Che heard the words, his brows couldn’t help but furrow.

"Xuanfu Divine Sect?"

Li Che’s eyes shone with different colors: "The wife of Qian Yuan Divine Sect Master Lv Taibai is from Xuanfu Divine Sect, are you aware?"

Xie Yushen nodded, but then shook his head: "Lord... Xuanfu Divine Sect has undergone some events..."

"Sect Master’s wife Xuan Qisha, should she desire, might also want to kill her way back to Xuanfu Divine Sect... to subjugate and break the sect."

Xie Yushen’s words, made Li Che’s brows raise involuntarily.

He remembered Xuan Qisha seemed to cultivate the Locking God Talisman...

Sealed within the Divine Talisman Tower, cultivating the Locking God Talisman, transformed her body into that of a child.

There must have been a purpose and hardship involved.

Now it seems, the hardship... appears to reside within the Xuanfu Divine Sect itself!

"Lord, in this court’s campaign against Qian Yuan Divine Sect, Lv Taibai definitely wrote for aid to the Xuanfu Divine Sect... but no response came."

"Because of that Xuanfu Divine Sect’s Grandmaster... there was a major problem."

As for what problem occurred, Xie Yushen was not too clear.

This is already a secret of the Divine Sect.

Although Xie Yushen had gathered some news, understanding such secrets is naturally not an easy task.

Li Che did not inquire further, waving his hand to let Xie Yushen leave, returning to organize the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, preparing for the next campaign to subjugate and break the sect.

After all, Xie Yushen is not fighting against the mountain-severing powerful sect on behalf of the Da Jing Dynasty, but rather working to gather the Qi fortune of the world for Li Che.

The study suddenly fell silent.

Li Che leaned back in his chair and slowly exhaled. The threat posed by the Yin Yang duo was resolved, and it was as if a massive stone had finally fallen from his heart.

His daughter Xi Xi was relieved from the threat of a Divine Tribulation and a Poison Saint, naturally putting Li Che’s mind at ease.

Before him, golden light slowly flowed out.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV7, 10%)]

After the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit reached LV7, the requirement for maturity increased substantially.

Even after slaying a formidable opponent like the Poison Saint Gu Yin Xuan, the increase in maturity remained slight.

"The more the Dao Fruit advances, the more difficult it becomes to elevate..."

"And the limit of the Dao Fruit should be Nine Transformations, Nine Transformations..."

Li Che fell into silence.

Even from the images reflected by the Dao Fruit, it seemed that those powerful individuals who once held the Dao Fruit had never reached the realm of the Nine Transformations.

Could he, Li Che, achieve it?

Moreover, Li Che possessed so many Dao Fruits...

Deciding not to dwell on it further, just as Li Che was about to enter closed-door cultivation in the study,

a booming sound suddenly echoed in his mind.

The clanging of sword light resounded; it was the vibration of Lv Taibai’s sword light.

Hearing this, Li Che immediately ended his cultivation, and with a single step, he disappeared from the study and appeared atop Taibai Peak.

And now, atop Taibai Peak,

figures were bustling.

Li Che saw Supervisor Hong Shifu and also Grandmaster Lv Qiankun, among others.

"A Che has arrived."

Lv Taibai, with his silver hair flowing, smiled upon seeing Li Che.

"The Great Supervising Minister from the Capital Divine Heaven Bureau headquarters sent a message to the world through the Qintian Observatories of the Eleven Cities, declaring the opening of Qi Tian City... We should also start preparing to set off."

Lv Taibai looked at Li Che and said.

"This time, heading to Qi Tian City, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect will set out with Grandmaster, me, the Great Elder, and A Che together."

"Old Zhao, Ding Zi, and the Fourth Elder, the Divine Sect will be under your protection from here on."

Lv Taibai arranged.

Feng Zhiqi, with his massive and robust build, cupped his fists and bowed: "Sect Master, rest assured."

"Then we will set off in three days; although the inheritance at Equal Heaven Temple will officially emerge in a month, we will go to Qi Tian City early, just to interact with the Demon Race occupying Qi Tian City, coming from the Ten Thousand Demon Cave and Ten Thousand Rivers; it is unnecessary, but we can’t be too late either."

Many powerful figures from the Qian Yuan Divine Sect gathered at Taibai Peak, discussing with each other.

After all, this journey to Qi Tian City bears significant importance, and there is even the risk of falling.

If all four of them were to fall, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect would inevitably face great upheaval.

However, when facing such a great opportunity, Lv Qiankun and Lv Taibai found it impossible to simply abandon it, because even if they gave it up, if hostile forces to the Qian Yuan Divine Sect were to obtain it, Qian Yuan would still not be able to escape the crisis...

One can only say that the great momentum compels them to strive and fight.

As for Fang Hanshu, he too is heading there. Both Lv Taibai and Lv Qiankun did not stop him, as they both felt that Fang Hanshu had been stuck in the realm of the Great God for too long, and this was an opportunity to find a breakthrough to the Divine Tribulation.

The discussions concluded.

Li Che returned once again to the Elder Court within the Disciple City.

After spending time with his wife, informing her that he would set off for Qi Tian City in three days, he returned to his study to continue cultivating.

He took out a Lower Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal, a treasure of Gu Yangxuan.

Clutching the Lower Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal, Li Che closed his eyes, the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart gently beating within the Inner Scene of his Brow Niwan.

With each beat, a powerful suction would erupt, extracting the divinity within the Divine Crystal.

However...

Each beat of the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart seemed to carry an additional wave.

Li Che suddenly opened his eyes wide.

With his current perception, he naturally captured this extra wave with ease...

After a moment’s contemplation,

Li Che’s eyes lit up.

Pressing his two fingers together, he tore open the Qiankun Space...

With a grasp of his five fingers, a Dao Yun Divine Crystal instantly fell into his hand.

Glancing at the Dao Yun Divine Crystal, Li Che clutched it in his left hand, while his right hand held the Three Pure Ones Divine Crystal.

With a movement of his mind, he activated the Divine Method.

Boom——!!!
