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

The wind whistles and the snow weeps, as the scent of fallen plum blossoms fills the air.

Petals of pale pink scattered on the ground, still shrouded by the lingering mysterious fog, add an air of mystery.

Following the path deep inside, an ancient and mystical temple can be seen perched there, its black roof tiles neatly and orderly laid out, with upturned eaves and corners, painted in bright lacquer colors that dazzle and mesmerize.

Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Monarch Strange Temple!

Four Imperials!

Li Che’s eyes sharpen, his breath fluctuating ever so slightly.

This is a Strange Temple of the same rank as the one at the center of Golden Light Prefecture’s Nine Dragons River, both terrifying and mysterious.

This is also the highest-ranked, most oppressive Strange Temple that Li Che has encountered so far.

Indeed, regarding the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Wrathful Third Prince’s Strange Temple in Golden Light Prefecture, he has in fact not yet set foot inside of it.

However, when he accompanied Xi Xi for the Temple God Resonance, Li Che truly experienced the terror of that Temple God!

“Please, Elder Li.”

Ji Heshan’s gaze rests on Li Che, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Xi Xi’s biological father?

A hint of surprise previously crossed Ji Heshan’s eyes—he knew of Li Che, as he had once sent Wei He to relay a message, wishing to recruit Xi Xi under his tutelage.

He had also asked Wei He to speak with Xi Xi’s parents.

But Li Che, had refused his recruitment and was not willing to let Xi Xi become his disciple.

Unexpectedly, he would meet Li Che in such a way today.

No wonder Li Che was unwilling to let Xi Xi become his disciple; Li Che himself also had some abilities, having been able to become an Elder of Divine Eagle Ridge…

In terms of status, an Elder of Divine Eagle Ridge is not significantly lower than an Inner Sect Elder.

Ji Heshan’s eyes flicker.

He begins to consider whether it would be worthwhile to forge a good relationship with Li Che, a newly appointed Elder of Divine Carving Ridge.

Divine Sculpture, for any Cultivator, is of great concern.

For his disciples, it is similarly so.

Why would the identity of an Elder of Divine Carving Ridge be comparable to that of an Inner Sect Elder if not for the fact that the Elders of Divine Carving Ridge control the destiny of Divine Sculptures?

“Elder Li, rest assured, the Divine Light of Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-eyed True Monarch Temple God is very gentle, as long as you are not tainted by evil spirits, it will not trigger any fluctuations…”

“This Elder examination, in actuality, is more like an opportunity for you. If you are not tainted by evil spirits and are not one of the evil people of Corpse God Cult…”

“You might even receive resonance with the Temple God and undergo the sacred baptism of the Temple God’s Divinity.”

“This will be very helpful to you in consolidating the Divine Appearance and the Divine Primordial Golden Elixir.”

Opposite Ji Heshan, a woman with a dignified appearance spoke gently.

This was the Sixth Elder of Qian Yuan Divine Sect, Huo Xiang.

She is also a powerful being at the Quasi-Divine Embryo Realm.

Amidst the gazes of everyone, Li Che dusted off his Mo Shan, his face wearing a gentle smile.

After giving a slight bow to all the Elders, Li Che did not hesitate much and stepped onto the torn pathway of Strange Que’s Thousand Mei Road.

All the way, the fragrance of plum blossoms was overwhelming.

With a clear and calm heart, Li Che’s mind was very peaceful, without a trace of worry.

Even though the Corpse God Seal was being suppressed within his Heaven and Earth chessboard.

Let’s not mention that the Corpse God Seal has already been refined by him; even if it had not been, Li Che would not have an iota of concern.

Stepping into Strange Que, it felt not like undergoing a trial or test, but rather as if he were gently facing a breeze, strolling down a mountain path, enjoying the plum blossoms’ scent, as if on a spring outing.

…

…

Outside Strange Que.

Gongshu Jing, Zhao Fangzhou, and Tang Xiejia stood calmly.

A Divine Embryo and two Martial Saints, they were different from Ji Heshan and Huo Xiang, as their realms were not on the same level, so there was a hierarchical gap.

“That is Li Che…”

Tang Xiejia’s figure was burly, resembling somewhat his younger brother Tang Sanjia, with bulging muscles under his skin, containing terrifying explosive power as though every gesture was immensely destructive.

“Yes, your younger brother Tang Sanjia’s admired junior, to whom you Tang Family even passed the Nine Seals of Mechanism and Puppet Beast Chronicles…”

Gongshu Jing said with a smile.

Zhao Fangzhou raised an eyebrow: “Is that thing even comprehensible to humans?”

Tang Xiejia rubbed his head, his muscular back looking like a hulking king cobra spreading its hood.

“I… do not understand it.”

Gongshu Jing couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Two crude… Martial Artists.

Mechanical Techniques, these kinds of talents that test intelligence, how could you crude Martial Artists understand?

“Li Che is very talented…”

“Not only is he gifted in the Divine Sculpture aspect, but his talents in Mechanism are also not lacking.”

Gongshu Jing’s eyes sparkled.

“Tang Sanjia wants to repair that damaged Supreme Mechanism Beast [Hundred-Bone Eight-Legged Dominating Dragon]; he certainly cannot do it alone, so… he puts his hopes on Li Che.”

“Although it’s also difficult, at least there’s a glimmer of hope. From Li Che’s Divine Sculpture talent, I see hope.”

Gongshu Jing stated.

Tang Xiejia’s excitement surged.

But soon his mood plummeted again.

“But even if it were repaired, what then? The Tang Family… has completely become a thing of the past, out of the five Supreme Mechanism Beasts, four have been confiscated by the Grand Prospect Dynasty…”

“Leaving only one [Hundred-Bone Eight-Legged Dominating Dragon] with damages exceeding seventy percent… Even if the repair is successful, it doesn’t mean much anymore.”

Gongshu Jing looked at Tang Xiejia, his brows slightly furrowed.

“How could it be meaningless?”

“Do you Tang Family… not wish to rise again?”

Tang Xiejia’s eyes flashed with a spark of fire…

“I do…”

“But, it’s difficult.”

“That person… is too strong.”

His voice low, Tang Xiejia said.

“If it weren’t for the Sect Master’s shelter… My Tang Family… would have been exterminated.”
