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

Chapter 848: Chapter 268: First Temple God’s Enforcer Third Crown Prince, Snacks Prepared by the Boss for Xi Xi [Request for Monthly Ticket]_3

“Alright, the preparation time is over. Now… all Divine Children who wish to participate in the trial, enter the Qiankun Small Cave Heaven.”

Lv Taibai said.

As his words fell, it was like Sword Qi cutting through iron and gold—sharp and ringing, resounding with authority!

The already battle-driven Xi Xi, upon hearing Lv Taibai’s words, immediately slipped out of Li Che’s arms. Conveniently, she was closest to the vortex entrance of the Small Cave Heaven. Her tiny feet stomped, and then she dashed toward the entrance.

Buzz, buzz, buzz——

The entrance to the Cave Heaven swirled, its divinity surging. Without hesitation, Xi Xi dove headfirst into the vortex.

No hindrance whatsoever—she effortlessly darted inside.

Lv Taibai, sitting on his chair, suddenly shifted his hips, staring blankly at the little girl who had passed through the entrance with no resistance.

This little one…

Gongshu Wentian frowned slightly as he saw Xi Xi rush into the Small Cave Heaven ahead of everyone.

This Li Nuanxi… what a cheat!

She had snuck to the front row, stealing the best entry spot.

With a short, dagger-like engraving knife in hand, Gongshu Wentian spun it in a flashy butterfly knife trick. Then, with a sharp click, he clenched the knife tightly in his palm, tapping his toes against the ground. His body erupted with ferocious Qi-Blood, surging powerfully.

The accumulated Spring Rain on the ground exploded, spattering countless white droplets into the air.

Like an arrow shot from a bow, he bolted through the crowd, soaring upward with consecutive leaps. His feet seemed to tread upon the rain as he triggered a chain of water explosions with every step.

Just as Gongshu Wentian moved, Gu He, the Divine Child of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect—a youth with eight sheep-fat jade vases hanging from his waist—smirked faintly, flicked his finger, and sent a bean-like Elixir soaring high. With a quick swallow, he consumed it.

A fierce wind surrounded him instantly, propelling him forward. He closely pursued Gongshu Wentian, charging straight toward the entrance of Qiankun Small Cave Heaven.

Lv Qingxuan, the top-ranked Chulong of Qian Yuan Divine Sect’s Dragon List, had a sword hanging from his waist. With a single step, Sword Light erupted beneath his soles, shimmering like radiant ripples.

Accompanied by the brilliant song of the blade, he moved as though flying atop his sword.

From the Xuanfu Divine Sect, Xuan Yue—a playful and adorable young girl—stuck out her tongue, slapped a Divine Talisman, and disappeared in a flash of divine energy. When she reappeared, she had somehow gotten ahead of everyone else.

Divine Children such as Ning Caihe from Seven Treasures Divine Sect, Yang Yi ranked second on the Dragon List, Yue Linghu the grandson of Master Qian Yuan, Tie Shancai, and many others prominent on the betting boards all dashed forward together.

Boom, boom, boom, boom——!

The atmosphere instantly surged with heat, wild winds howled, and torrential Qi streams roared!

From the leaden clouds high above, countless streams of Spring Rain poured down, bursting into fine mist on impact.

Gongshu Wentian sneered coldly as he glimpsed Xuan Yue overtaking him. “Divine Talisman users—always cheating.”

His five fingers clenched tightly as his Qi-Blood surged violently, propelling his speed to an even greater height. He plowed through the rushing air, stirring up white turbulence that twisted wildly around him.

In a flash, he overtook Xuan Yue, who had only just teleported forward via her Divine Talisman. He crashed headfirst into the swirling vortex of Qiankun Small Cave Heaven’s entrance.

In the next moment——

Gongshu Wentian’s pupils narrowed sharply, the cold, disdainful smile on his face vanishing in an instant. He felt an overwhelming, mountain-crushing force—a pressure as immense as collapsing peaks and trembling earth—slam down on him!

Then came the sensation of an invisible Air Wall blocking his path.

The Air Wall wasn’t solid, yet it felt as though his body had embedded itself into it.

Crunch, crunch——!

His muscles and bones groaned under unbearable strain, his skin trembling and rippling like waves from the tremendous barrier force.

The worst part was Gongshu Wentian’s otherwise handsome features—his proud, high-bridged nose warped dramatically in an instant, and his lips, squashed by the external pressure, bent unnaturally upwards!

Bam——!

A violent crash resounded—like a speeding carriage slamming into a mountain wall, resulting in catastrophic destruction.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——

Behind Gongshu Wentian, the Divine Children froze, their scalps tingling as they witnessed his disastrous situation. One by one, they halted mid-flight.

But their speeds were too fast; those who relied on Divine Pills, Divine Talismans, or Sword Light barely managed to stop in time.

However, those pushing forward with sheer Qi-Blood and physical strength weren’t as fortunate.

This included Yue Linghu, the grandson of the Dao Master, and Ao Qingqing—the Little Dragon Girl of the Dragon God Lineage.

These two followed closely behind Gongshu Wentian, crashing into the invisible barrier of the entrance.

Feeling the countless gazes fixed upon him, Gongshu Wentian’s proud Dao Heart felt like shattered glass—fractured and riddled with cracks.

The proud-hearted can’t bear even a moment of public humiliation.

Adjusting his breath and standing firmly, Gongshu Wentian’s expression twitched uncontrollably. His immense physical strength enabled him to realign his distorted lips and nose back into place.

“Why?”

“Why did that little girl wiggle her hips and waltz through so effortlessly?”

Gongshu Wentian inhaled deeply. Slowing down, he finally sensed the massive oppressive force emanating from the Qiankun Small Cave Heaven’s entrance.

That little girl…

What’s going on?

Did she bribe the Grandmaster?

Frowning, Gongshu Wentian steadied himself under the pressure, took slow and deliberate steps, and eventually passed through the invisible Air Wall.

Soon after, Gu He, Xuan Yue, Lv Qingxuan, and other Divine Children also followed suit.

Such a seemingly ordinary entrance into Qiankun Small Cave Heaven left many of the powerful cultivators present slightly astir.

They had sensed something unusual.

“That little girl…”

“She seemed to enter quite effortlessly, didn’t she?”
