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

Chapter 578: Chapter 207: Arriving for the First Time, Bombarding Dao City, The Underworld Has Arrived!

The cold winter gradually fades away, as spring quietly arrives.

The warm spring breeze scatters the deep chill, no more snowstorms, and the sky also begins to clear up from time to time.

On both sides of the official road, the branches of old trees, that have been covered with winter snow for a whole grotto heaven, start to sprout with new buds, tender green and exquisite, greedily absorbing the air between heaven and earth.

On the branches, still hang the extremely fine raindrops washed by Spring Rain yet to drip.

Whirr.

The hub of the carriage wheels roll over, the water and mud accumulated on the ground burst open, splashing around.

...
Following the first carriage, an unending line of horsedrawn vehicles rumble past, leaving neat rut marks on the still soft ground where the snow had not yet fully melted.

Li Che sits cross-legged in the carriage, drawing ever closer to Dao City, the carriage no longer jolts about.

“Approaching the area of Lingnan Taoist City…”

Hu Lü~

The reins are pulled, the Flood Dragon Horses whinny.

The Chief, the leader of the trade caravan, shouts back to notify everyone of the location they’ve reached.

After nearly a month and a half of full-speed travel, everyone had gone from initially feeling fresh to eventually becoming numb.

The official road all the way had been a scene encased in a vast expanse of snow, already unbearably monotonous to look at.

As the Chief finishes speaking.

The children grouped together in the carriage, the curtain suddenly lifts.

And out pop one little radish head after another.

“Wow—!!!”

Gong Yuanliang and Gongyang Xiu exclaimed in surprise.

“What’s there to exclaim about, we’ve only just reached the vicinity of Dao City, still a long distance to go… at least five hundred li away,” scoffed Tie Shancai.

Xi Xi also sticks her head out to look into the distance.

In sight on both sides are endless fields, where the winter snow has melted away, and with spring’s arrival, the land is moistened by the warm breeze. So in the fields, many farmers are leading their oxen, plowing the land, breaking up the frozen earth.

Xi Xi leaps out of the carriage in a single bound, landing on top of the carriage roof.

Now, her Martial Cultivation has reached the Perfection of Blood Exchange Nine Shifts; her movements are extremely agile and flexible.

Standing atop the carriage canopy.

A spring breeze blows by, fluttering the pointed corners of her red bellyband, while the red cord tied to her hair flaps in the wind.

Xi Xi stands with hands on hips, a radiant smile on her face, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, her mood extraordinarily beautiful.

We’re finally going to reach Dao City!

She heard that Grandpa Zhang had asked her to prepare herself for the selection of the last Direct Disciple of the Sect Master.

Xi Xi is thrilled about this, which means there might be a fight to engage in.

She can set off fireworks again!

Though these days, Tie Shancai has been accompanying her to set off fireworks.

But after a few times, Xi Xi found it meaningless without full power.

It bored her.

There was no interest.

Fightings with those who provoke Xi Xi is what’s really interesting.

Xi Xi can then let loose and bombard wildly!

Whizz, whizz, whizz—

Tie Shancai, Yun E, and Little Fatty Zhou Peng also appear one after another on the carriage roof.

A few little rascals stand there, bathing in the gentle breeze as the carriage slowly moves.

“Finally returning to Dao City, in that Golden Light Prefecture… always felt very dangerous, very insecure… scary enough to kill a person, even affecting my appetite while eating,” Zhou Peng says, clenching a white steamed bun, half in one bite, gone in two.

Golden Light Prefecture City brought an indescribable sense of danger to Zhou Peng and Yun E.

Inside the carriage.

Li Che sits in tranquility, his strong Qi-Blood intersecting, focused on the journey these past days.

His heart is entirely immersed in cultivation.

Now, he has reached the count of five Divine Gang.

These five Divine Gang are extraordinary rather than common, refined through the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant to temper the heart, on top of the Divine Gang extracted through the Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Gods to temper the golden lungs.

These Divine Gang are twisted together by Li Che, liked a twined hemp rope.

Massive in size, they mysteriously blend with one another, far surpassing the might of ordinary Divine Gang.

Li Che secretly had White Impermanence Xue Dufu release his Divine Gang for a test of strength.

Xue Dufu, fed and grown to thirty Divine Gang by Li Che, saw his Divine Gang shattered by Li Che’s after merely three clashes.

Li Che didn’t retain too many Soul Capturing spells, feeding all of the Corpse God Envoy’s from the Corpse God Cult to Xue Dufu.

As for the three assassins from the Hunting God Pavilion, they were assigned to Black Impermanence to control.

However, there’s a limit to the number of Soul Capturing spells.

At this point, Li Che could probably control around seven Great Grandmasters or Divine Primordial True Persons at the Primordial Spirit Transformation Level.

Any more would mostly lead to loss of control, which isn’t bad either, just feed them to White Impermanence to consume and grow stronger.

During one and a half months, Li Che’s Cultivation improvement wasn’t considered too fast.

Mainly due to the lack of intense battles, he couldn’t use the maturity enhancement of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to nourish back his Cultivation.

Li Che also found it strange, he had prepared his cannon…

He was ready to go all out dragon slaying.

But…

No dragons came.

Not a single one. Ji Hai’s Dragon Maiden mother seemed to be quite indifferent towards his death, apparently without any thoughts of revenge.

Li Che shakes his head slightly, not too regretful after all.

After all, during the journey, the calmer the better, peace and safety have always been what Li Che pursued.

Nevertheless, Li Che remains vigilant, especially as they are nearing Dao City; relaxing at this critical point, the enemy could easily find an opportunity.

Perhaps, the enemy is searching for this exact opportunity?

During the month and a half in the carriage, Li Che has spent a very fulfilling time.

The carriage is crammed full, aside from the Awe-Inspiring Divinity clone, all other clones have been drawn out by him, diligently Cultivating.

As for Li Che himself, he is also working hard to invite the Temple God of the Equal to Heaven’s Face into the Immaculate Heart Divinity.
