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

Chapter 480 - 185: Emperor Xi Xi Picks Up a Gold Brick, Completely Out of Sync with the Temple God [Seeking Monthly Ticket]

Nine Dragons River Bank.

Listening Fury Cliff Stone.

It was quiet, so quiet that one could almost say it was silence you could hear, broken only by the wailing and howling of storm winds isolated outside.

Nan Li Huo stood with his hands behind his back, his white clothes fluttering, his white hair vividly scattering in the ceaseless winds.

His eyes were deep as he looked toward the river shrouded in mysterious fog.

The river’s surface had become thoroughly obscured, as if a dense, thick fog had risen, even suppressing the churning waves, preventing even a single rolling wave from forming.

Next to him, King Taoist bent his palm, resting his whisk on it, his eyes equally solemn.

”Junior brother, what are you worried about?”

King Taoist turned his head to look over.

”Are you worried about whether Xi Xi can obtain the Temple God inheritance?”

Upon hearing this, Nan Li Huo shook his head slightly, ”What is there to worry about? If Xi Xi doesn’t obtain the Temple God inheritance this time, her talent and future potential are definitely not just limited to Divine Primordial.”

”Her talent is indeed excellent, she has the potential to step into the realm of Divine Fetus Great God.”

King Taoist was left speechless, ”Are you so confident in your little disciple?”

He turned around, looking at the foggy river, his deep gaze piercing, ”The Divine Fetus Realm... so many yearn to reach it, yet how many can succeed?”

”Divine Element True Person undergoes three transformations: Primordial Spirit Metamorphosis, Golden Body Transformation, and Embryonic Breathing Metamorphosis. Each step is a matter of life and death, a single misstep can plunge one into an endless abyss.”

”In this world, there are many who have reached Divine Primordial, yet how many can truly become a Divine Fetus?”

King Taoist felt somewhat melancholic.

”Back in our day, we were also hailed as Divine Children, yet now... you are not even a Divine Primordial, and I... it’s still unknown whether I can condense a Golden Body.”

King Taoist never imagined matters taking a favorable turn.

He prepared in advance, always setting his expectations low so that... when disappointment came, it wouldn’t overwhelm him.

Nan Li Huo fell silent.

”No... Xi Xi is different.”

Nan Li Huo still spoke these words.

King Taoist tossed his whisk, laughing, ”Junior brother, then let’s make a bet. I also like this girl Xi Xi...”

”If she can obtain even a single nurturing nature method, a Divine Foundation Technique, or any ordinary secret technique from the Temple God Resonance Meeting this time, I will agree.”

Upon hearing this, Nan Li Huo suddenly cast a strange look at King Taoist, ”Bet on what?”

King Taoist looked towards the mysterious fog enshrouding the Strange Que, unable to see the situation of the children who had entered it.

He said softly, ”Bet that... before the Sect Master Great God recruits the last direct disciple, I will present Xi Xi before the Sect Master Great God, giving him a chance to see her.”

Crash!

Nan Li Huo suddenly turned around, his gaze fiery and intense.

”Elder brother! You agreed?!”

Nan Li Huo had been beseeching King Taoist for days.

Because he knew King Taoist could do it, but King Taoist had never agreed, so why would he agree now by making a bet?

In Nan Li Huo’s view, King Taoist had agreed...

After all, with Xi Xi’s talent, obtaining the Temple God inheritance was not a problem at all, the only consideration was the quality of the inheritance obtained. 

Thus, King Taoist’s bet was essentially an indirect agreement.

King Taoist chuckled bitterly, ”I haven’t agreed; aren’t we just making a bet?”

”Actually, junior brother, if you just go back to the Divine Sect and beg our master, Xi Xi’s future would be even more secure.”

However, upon hearing this, Nan Li Huo’s eyes dimmed slightly.

”I won’t go back.”

”I can’t go back.”

Nan Li Huo sighed softly.

”Yuanlong is cultivating within the Divine Sect... help me take good care of him, that child is not sharp… I fear he might be bullied.”

King Taoist began to smile, ”I know, Yuanlong, that boy... simple and honest, though a bit dull-witted, he is earnest.”

”Don’t worry, the boy’s simple nature has touched an Inner Sect Elder, now he doesn’t worry about resources... speaking of cultivation, he has already surpassed you, his master.”

”Yuanlong is now among the top ten of the Inner Sect, and the sect values him quite a bit. At the next Flat Peach Victory Meeting held at the Three Pure Bizarre Temple in the Great Scenic Divine Capital... this boy will be a capable cadre of our Qian Yuan Divine Sect.”

King Taoist said while laughing.

Yuanlong is Nan Li Huo’s second disciple.

Who had been sent to Qian Yuan Divine Sect for further cultivation.

”Indeed... the fool has his own fortune.”

”After this Temple God Resonance Meeting, I plan to send Guanyin and Xi Xi to the Authentic Divine Sect as well.”

Nan Li Huo’s eyes flickered, looking towards King Taoist.

”Sang Guanyin and Li Nuanxi?”

”What about Liu Yangyuan? Your third disciple... you’re just going to ignore him?”

King Taoist said gravely.

Nan Li Huo paused, then slowly exhaled, ”Yangyuan... could be the Young Sect Master of the Golden Light Sub-sect.”

King Taoist shook his head and scoffed.

”Doing this will hurt your third disciple...”

”Great Elder Brother, Second Elder Brother, Fourth Junior Sister... now even the junior sister who just joined a year ago, all sent to the main sect, only he... left to manage the sub-sect alone.”

”Needing to deal with the mess you left...”

”You...”

King Taoist sighed, not saying anything further.

Nan Li Huo stood with his hands behind his back, saying no more, his gaze fixed on the Strange Que.

...

...

City Lord’s Mansion area.

Luxurious carriages were parked.

Six Black Armored Blood Guards neatly stood leading the Flood Dragon Horses.

Su Huaili sat inside the carriage, with the Shadow Guard True Person also sitting cross-legged, quietly drinking tea.

The Shadow Guard True Person’s form was completely indiscernible, shrouded in rolling black fog, he glanced at Su Huaili, ”Old Prince ordered you to wait until the affair is over, then return to Jizhou together.”
