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

Everyone sensed that the day for the Earthly Ghost Emperor to challenge the Martial Immortal was fast approaching.

Lv Taibai and Lv Qiankun felt extremely oppressed.

Fang Hanshu had long ended his Jade Talisman insights assisted by Qi Tian and returned to Lv Taibai’s side, Confucian robes fluttering, graceful beard flowing.

“Something feels off…”

Lv Taibai took a deep breath.

Fang Hanshu held the Holy Sage Book, actually refining the inheritance within the Jade Talisman: “Of course, something is off. The Underworld has offended so many forces, not to mention it’s now tacitly seen as tied to the Prison Lotus Camp…”

“Therefore, there are too many unwilling to see the Underworld grow strong. The breakthrough of the Earthly Ghost Emperor to Martial Immortal must be heaven-certified, and many will surely make secret moves to sabotage.”

Fang Hanshu said lightly.

Lv Taibai stood in a restaurant in the Outer City of Qi Tian City. Today, the Outer City of Qi Tian had returned to its glory, as if the once-proud Qi Tian City had regained its peak.

The population was not much different from its heyday, and even commerce within Qi Tian City had returned, with vendors hawking and major forces settling in.

“The Western Regions Buddha Land, Ten Thousand Rivers, Wushen Mountain… all have Martial Gods coming, standing behind these forces are the All Gods Camp, they certainly don’t harbor good intentions.”

“Perhaps someone will, when the Earthly Ghost Emperor rushes to break through to the Martial Immortal, lead the tribulation with their own body, making the Martial Immortal Tribulation even more terrifying! To destroy the Earthly Ghost Emperor in this way…”

“All it takes is a Divine Tribulation, like a moth to a flame leading the calamity, to exchange for a powerful figure from the Underworld, pit-killing a formidable enemy, what a swift and satisfying thing?”

Fang Hanshu chuckled lightly.

However, after being transformed into Soul Capturing by Li Che, Fang Hanshu already knew that the Earthly Ghost Emperor was actually Li Che.

As the sunset completely sank, the red sun disappeared without a trace in the human world!

A huge moon plate rose into the sky, its cool light showering the human world.

Qi Tian City suddenly became noisy.

“Hurry! At the top of the Inner City tower, the Qitian Temple God has appeared!”

Someone shouted loudly.

Their face was flushed with excitement, for it was a deity manifesting in person!

In an instant, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves.

On the incomparably wide long street of Qi Tian City, it suddenly became crowded, with the Inner City gate under it teeming with figures.

Most were martial artists rushing in from various places, their Qi-Blood surging, extremely fervent.

Their eyes were fervent, staring at the hunched Old Monkey appearing on the Inner City tower.

The Old Monkey, clad in plain clothes, carried a golden rod as thin and long as a bamboo pole, gently tapping it as if it were a cane.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Below, the crowd surged.

The Qi-Blood gathered like fire, like an abyss or a sea, as if it was about to pierce through the sky, disturbing the stars and moon.

The night seemed to brighten substantially.

“So many people…”

The Old Monkey exhaled softly.

Breaking through to become a Martial Immortal is indeed a grand event in the human world. Perhaps in this era, Martial Immortals are truly too rare.

No one could suppress the thrill brought by the improvement from the Divine Martial Dao, a deadly temptation.

Buzz—

It seemed that a purple flame flickered and rose.

Then transformed into a purple flame, burning a twisted silhouette.

A black robe flared, rustling fiercely, a golden head shimmered brilliantly, purple flames rolling, sometimes transforming into a dragon, sometimes morphing into an elephant.

“Are you ready?”

Looking at the burly figure that appeared out of thin air, that fierce Qi-Blood, the majestic vitality, the Old Monkey couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

“Thank you for the trouble, senior.”

Li Che’s eyes were dark, the purple flames seemed to transform into strands of hair fluttering freely and boldly.

“Go ahead, leave Qi Tian City, break through outside the city.”

“Qi Tian City, after all, lies on the border between the Strange Que and the human world, not a suitable place to break through.”

“You need to completely return to the human world.”

The Old Monkey said.

Li Che nodded.

In the next moment, the toes touched down.
