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

Chapter 2044: Chapter 518: You Have an Immortal Artifact, I Have a Golden Kitchen Knife—Returning from the Mortal World Still a Youth

Divine thought has grown immensely...

Yet, compared to Immortal Will, it is still far inferior.

Swish, swish, swish––

Divinity swelled within every acupoint of Li Che; originally a bit violent, the divinity has become gentle and docile.

Before his eyes, the flowing lights are like incense smoke, slowly descending.

[Dao Fruit Level 8, Sixth Transformation, Dao Tribulation (Primordial Heart Cleansing Stream) Ascension, Immaculate Heart Tao Boat]

Rumble––

As if there were celestial sounds reverberating, resounding through the soul; at this moment, Li Che seemed to hear the soft chant of the Heavenly Dao Will.

Flowing lights interlaced and coalesced into a message, appearing before Li Che’s eyes.

[Dao Boat: Heaven and Earth Origin, River of the Soul, Great Dao Voyage, Seeking Above and Below]

Indeed!

The wandering place of the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit is the River of the Soul, the most mysterious place of mankind!

Suddenly.

Li Che opened his eyes, and his pupils abruptly became clear.

Countless divinity-like smoke swirled around him; his dark and strong hair floated and fluttered, having been shed of the Martial Immortal Body, stained by divinity; the Golden Martial Immortal Blood had long disappeared, his blood became crystal-clear crimson.

Flowing and rolling within the meridians!

Li Che opened his eyes.

Actually, it hasn’t been long since the completion of the Dao Fruit’s Transformation; at this time, the gaze of the white-clothed boss happened to cast over, clashing with Li Che’s sight.

Li Che’s expression remained calm, not surprised much by the boss’s appearance.

The Big Black Dog leaped horizontally, blocking an Immortal, while on the other side, the Third Crown Prince also exerted all his strength to impede another Immortal; the boss wielded the Golden Kitchen Knife to obstruct the Immortal Device Lotus Lamp enkindled with Divine Fire.

Three Immortals, all obstructed.

Yet, Li Che’s heart did not relax at all.

The boss’s white robes fluttered as he strode over, while the smoke ascended straight up without any distortion.

He appeared beside Li Che.

"Gou and I cannot intervene for too long."

The boss looked at Li Che, who seemed to have undergone significant transformation, and said.

Li Che’s mind seemed much more tranquil.

That’s a good thing; sometimes anxiety, fury, and panic only bring about trouble, leading one to make wrong decisions.

Facing the descent of the will of the three Immortals, anyone would feel flustered; Li Che was not exempt, but now, Li Che calmed down.

The boss did not know what kind of change happened to Li Che.

But at least now, with Li Che being calm, he could think more clearly about strategies to cope.

"Is it because of Heaven and Earth Will?"

Li Che asked.

The boss was taken aback, then nodded: "Heaven and Earth Will... is more complex and domineering than you imagine."

"Boss, are you the Three-eyed Saint?"

Li Che asked again.

He spread his five fingers wide, and the Three-point double-edged knife appeared in his hand...

The boss glanced at Li Che, pinched the cigarette between two fingers, and flicked the ash: "Does it matter?"

"Just a curiosity; want to resolve it, perhaps someday I too will know... But knowing early, knowing late, it’s all the same."

Li Che said with a smile.

"You’ve indeed changed; your mind is very tranquil, very good... transforming from the Path of Martial Immortal to Divine Tao, that’s a significant change; if the mind isn’t calm, one might sink into the overwhelming transformation of power, sinking into it, ultimately the strength halts, unable to advance."

"And a tranquil mind allows you to better cultivate Divine Tao, guiding Heavenly Divinity."

"Good, this puts me at ease."

The boss said blandly.

"You could say that."

The boss said another headless and brainless sentence.

Upon hearing this, Li Che raised his eyebrows... knowing what the boss’s answer was.

Considered the Three-eyed Saint? Or maybe not?

Li Che was somewhat confused, seeming as if a great mist clouded his vision, making it hard to see the truth.

"In the Strange Que of the Human World, Gou and I can’t exert full power, too many limitations; if careless, it will draw gazes..."

"Gou’s act of blocking Immortal Will is already considered overstepping the bounds."

The boss said: "Hence, time is limited."

He looked at Xi Xi.

"Can’t you block Immortal Deities either? They haven’t descended in true form, but as will avatars!" Li Che’s brow slightly furrowed.

The boss shook his head: "Not because of immortals..."

"Moreover, don’t underestimate immortals; after Divine Fire comes Rong Dao, Rong Dao and then Path Cutting, only then can one achieve Nirvana, and after Nirvana, only qualified to step into immortality..."

"Immortals stand as the strongest existence under Heaven and Earth Will..."

The boss deeply looked at Li Che, softly said.

He does not wish for Li Che to underestimate immortals too much because in a battle today, a misjudgment regarding immortal power, after charging into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths...

Blindly attacking immortals, and thus getting slapped to death.

If Xi Xi lost her father because of this... it’d be truly tragic.

"I said not because of immortals, it is because... your appearance has changed the destinies of the Daughter of Prison Lotus; the shock resonates not only with Nine Heavens and Ten Earths immortals."

"But also..."

"Heaven and Earth Will."

The boss took a deep breath, then exhaled a swirl of misty smoke.

"Unless you give up guardianship, allow everything to return to the right course, let Xi Xi embrace the Prison Lotus Curse, follow the predetermined path set by Heaven and Earth Will, let Xi Xi kill countless, her heart numb, Heavenly Slaughter Star, losing everything..."

"Thus Xi Xi can securely grow along the route predetermined by heaven, becoming the Master of Prison Lotus, finally dying amidst the siege of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths immortals... ending this Divine Tide, between the rise of the next Divine Tide, reviving, starting anew the fate of Prison Lotus."

"Like a lotus... confined in a pond, once infinitely pure white, yet gradually tainted with filth and darkness."

"Hence called, Prison Lotus."

The boss extinguished the cigarette in his hand, then took out a pre-rolled cigarette, handing it to Li Che.

His deep eyes like an endless starry sky, resembling the revolving Star River above.

He looked at Li Che.

Gently asked.

The feeling somehow reminiscent of the way Li Che conversed with the Fruit Master on the River.

"Keep protecting your daughter, perhaps perish in this great battle."

"Or let the Prison Lotus return to its destined fate..."

"Li Che."

"As a father..."

"What will you choose?"
