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

Under the glow of orange light, Li Che lounged lazily on the chair, his breakthrough in cultivation giving him quite a bit of confidence.

In the distance.

Xi Xi was receiving guidance from the Big Black Dog, its understanding of cultivation was profound, and its guidance was exceptionally clear.

Jin Taixui and Golden-haired Hou, two brothers, were benefiting a lot as well.

Yun E and Zhou Peng, two beings who had transformed into soul-capturing entities, were quietly following along in training.

Li Che suddenly turned to look at the boss.

”Boss... are you the Divine Spirit Miao Dao Xiansheng True Monarch of the Prison Lotus Camp?”

A direct question, this was Li Che’s speculation.

Because there were considerable connections between him and Miao Dao Xiansheng True Monarch, such as the Three-point Double-edged knife dormant in his left arm, and the legacy gained from the True Monarch Temple atop Mei Mountain at the Qianyuan Divine Sect Mountain Gate.

A white garment with a black dog...

Li Che found it quite too coincidental.

Hence, he voiced his query.

In fact, pondering deeply, the Three-eyed True Lord was actually... the temple god with the deepest connection to his family.

Back in Fei Lei City, the only mysterious temple was a subdivision of the Three-eyed True Lord’s mysterious temple...

Yet, the boss flicked the ash from his cigarette, his face as calm as ever.

He did not reply to Li Che’s question.

Li Che waited for a long time, not hearing the boss’s answer, nor did he pursue it further.

Perhaps, when it’s time to know the answer, the boss would naturally tell him.

...

...

Time, like sand between fingers, quietly flowed away unnoticed.

Before the gate of the Qitian Inner City, the Earthly Ghost Emperor sat there, like a monument, standing, akin to a divine sculpture, with purple flames endlessly burning and golden flames in its golden skull’s double pupils, as if annihilation was imminent.
