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

Li Che exhaled, his bones crackling all over his body.

“Even though I possess the martial talent blessed by the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit and have achieved unparalleled Horizontal Refinement, the cultivation of numerous Divine Seed Martial Arts makes it quite difficult to progress rapidly.”

“I truly anticipate, if I were to merge the Divine Seed into the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and combine it with the Dragon Elephant Heavenly Gang, could I possibly contend with a Martial Saint?”

Li Che’s heart trembled with anticipation.

“Among the Martial Saint Ultimate Studies, the movement technique Lingxu Baqi Step has not yet been perfected into the Transformation Realm… I must find time to complete it.”

There are many Martial Arts to consider, and Li Che also struggles to balance them, as some would naturally progress faster than others.

This is only possible because the feedback and Instant Enlightenment from the Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit allow him to cultivate so many Martial Arts simultaneously.

“No wonder opening up the Eight Strange Sect Divine Seeds at the same time is something almost no one can achieve…”

Li Che shook his head, even he couldn’t help feeling the difficulty involved.

He returned under the eaves of the roof.

The raindrops, which had been held at bay by the firmament without falling, now cascaded down as if venting all the fury that had been kept at bay.

The raindrops bounced on the dark tiles.

Li Che poured himself a cup of hot tea from the stove, drained it in one gulp, and then sat cross-legged under the eaves, enjoying the early spring rain.

His eyes followed the bouncing of the raindrops as they fell.

“The Dragon Queen Consort has been severely injured by Jushen Youliqing’s spear… her Great Bodily Elixir has been damaged.”

“That’s quite a serious injury indeed.”

“It truly… stirs up one’s ambitions.”

Li Che sipped his tea, placing the celadon cup down, his lips curling slightly into a faint smile.

“However…”

“I mustn’t rule out the possibility that this woman is trying to scheme against me…”

Li Che took out a Lower Five Elders Divine Crystal, clutching it to siphon the Divinity and begin Divine Refinement.

“This possibility is quite significant… back when Jushen Youliqing, with a concealed identity, struck with a spear, given the physique of the Dragon God Clan’s Princess Consort, she should not have been severely injured. She reduced her own aura bit by bit, taking in the strike from Youliqing hard and deliberately to suffer a serious injury.”

“I can’t exclude the possibility of a performance element in this.”

Li Che pondered.

Playing it safe, he resisted the temptation of the Princess Consort’s serious injury.

Fittingly, this period marked the Sect Master’s emergence from seclusion. Without complete certainty, Li Che was in no hurry to act.

“In a month, it will be Qingming on the twenty-sixth of February…”

“It’s the day of the Sect Master’s exam for his direct disciples. I wonder how Xi Xi is preparing; although she has taken the shortcut of being the Sect Master’s Wife, the exam for the Sect Master’s direct disciples still presents a great challenge to her.”

Li Che couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. Xi Xi’s talent was decent, but she was still too young compared to other competitors.

In recent days, too many Divine Children had arrived in Qianyuan Dao City.

Some came from the Divine Capital, some from other Dao Cities…

All were the most outstanding Divine Children from their respective regions, all possessing the Divine Power of the thousand-foot purple energy!

It’s simply…

Hellish difficulty!

Li Che exhaled.

What Li Che could do was to give Xi Xi special training, stimulating the Mythical Soldiers within her body to release Divine Power and refine her body through Fusion Soldier Body Refining.

Speaking of which, Li Che had almost completely absorbed the Divinity refinement from the Three-pointed Two-bladed Knife.

He could prepare for the second stimulation of the Three-pointed Two-bladed Knife.

Hum——!

Suddenly.

A white Thunder Chess Piece appeared in front of Li Che, someone clutching the Chess Piece, and then a figure condensed from it.

It was Jushen Youliqing, clad in Golden Armor, his body towering and erect.

“My Lord.”

“That evildoer from the Corpse God Cult hiding within the Qian Yuan Divine Sect…”

“Has been found.”

Under the eaves.

Li Che, who was clutching the Lower Five Elders Divine Crystal, slowly relaxed his grip, his eyes opening and shutting, his gaze falling upon the Jushen form of You Liqing.

“Who is it?”
