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

Chapter 906: Chapter 280: Soul Capturing Princess Consort Bull Demon Riding a Dragon, Are Both Father and Daughter 1000-Year-Old Divine Children? 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】_3

However, the Hunting God Pavilion and the Corpse God Cult…

still pose a tremendous threat.

Li Che’s gaze fell upon Yellow Sword Wine and You Liqing: “During the hunt for the Dragon Maiden last time, did you remember who intervened?”

“The Hunting God Pavilion and the Corpse God Cult dispatched a Demigod Corpse…”

“Find that Demigod Corpse,”

Li Che said in a deep voice.

Indeed, the Corpse God Cult had left contingencies within the Lingnan Circuit, secretly hiding a Demigod Corpse. Li Che intended to unravel their exact plans.

“Understood.”

Yellow Sword Wine and the seemingly liberated You Liqing promptly responded.

“Brother Liqing, I’ll go with you, wait for me!”

The Dragon Maiden quickly called out.

Li Che glanced once, then snapped his fingers.

The Dragon Maiden instantly transformed into a black Confining God Chess Piece, landing within the Heaven and Earth chessboard.

The world… instantly grew much quieter.

Li Qingshan donned his Cat Face mask: “Shall I take a trip to the Hunting God Pavilion?”

“The Hunting God Pavilion only cares about resources. As long as you’re offering resources… they’ll do anything.”

“Has Xi Xi made it onto the Hunting God Pavilion’s bounty list? You can leave that to me.”

Li Che silently looked at Li Qingshan: “Alright.”

In fact, he had already planned to leave the matter to Li Qingshan, especially since Li Qingshan wielded the Flying Thunder Chess Piece, which emboldened him greatly.

Cat Face departed as well, leaving the courtyard increasingly tranquil.

With a flick of his fingers, numerous avatars and confining gods disappeared without a trace.

Li Che sat cross-legged in the courtyard.

“Hoo—”

“Sii—”

Each exhale and inhale stirred waves of air.

Blending into the night breeze, it teased the shadows of trees outside the courtyard, fracturing moonlight and scattering dappled fragments across the ground.

Within Li Che’s chest, the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit gradually settled into serenity, bringing an unmatched peace to his mind and spirit.

His eyes slowly opened, golden smoke drifting through like sinking incense.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV5, 25%)]

As his eyes opened and closed, brilliance danced within them.

A hint of joy flickered in Li Che’s eyes.

The battle against the Dragon Queen Consort was a clean victory, killing her in a one-on-one confrontation. Unexpectedly, the Dao Fruit’s maturity jumped by 10%!

One must know, this was a Level 5 Dao Fruit, and any growth in its maturity carried great weight!

“It should not merely be the result of dueling the Martial Saint. Typically, as a Dao Fruit progresses, maturity growth becomes increasingly challenging.”

“The increase must be linked to my combat style; during the fight, I detonated two Divine Seeds… unleashing unparalleled strength that transcended human limits, resonating with the Dao Fruit’s peak excitation points, hence the rapid rise.”

Li Che reflected deeply, analyzing the reasons behind the swift increase in Dao Fruit maturity.

Furthermore, Li Che noticed that the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit also experienced a 2% maturity boost.

This was likely due to confining the Dragon Queen Consort with the Confining God technique.

“The Chess Saint Dao Fruit still needs some more growth to break through Level 5, while the Fairy in the Painting Dao Fruit and Lei-Ci Dao Body are progressing rather slowly as well…”

“The Immortal Craft Dao Fruit hasn’t shown much improvement recently either. Maybe I should try sculpting a Half-Saint Divine Sculpture; that might accelerate its maturity growth.”

“Additionally, the Mechanical Beast—if I can craft one at the Five Elders Rank—it could be interesting. The Vajra Ape’s current quality only amounts to a Six Divisions Upper Stage, which was artificially enhanced by Qi-Blood Rosy Clouds compensating for its flaws…”

Faced with the immense pressure brought on by Ji Moli,

Li Che couldn’t help but ponder ways to elevate himself.

“If Lei-Ci Dao Body upgrades successfully, I could also research the Immortal Magnetic Cannon… further boosting the maturity of the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit.”

“Lei-Ci Dao Body…”

Li Che closed his eyes, then slowly opened them: “There are so many tasks that need attention. Forget it… I’ll commission someone to create that [Small Divine Sky Five Thunder Shocking Killing Talisman].”

With his current wealth and resources, Li Che certainly could afford it.

What’s more, within the Divine Sect, there was a Divine Talisman Half-Saint who happened to be Xi Xi’s mentor—a resource going unused would be mere waste.

After briefly organizing his cultivation plans,

Li Che produced the Dragon Queen Consort’s Qiankun Jade, and began indulging in one of his favorite activities: inventorying treasures.

However, having previously accessed the Qiankun Jade of Su Wenxi, the former Family Head of the Su Family and a true Martial Saint, Li Che didn’t hold high expectations for that of the Dragon Queen Consort.

After all, prior to this, the Dragon Queen Consort could at best be considered a Great Grandmaster.

Sure enough, after forcibly breaking through the Qiankun Jade’s outer membrane,

Li Che began his audit.

There were plenty of Fifth-Order Lower Stage Divine Crystals; a total of fifteen. Yet beyond that, there were no Fifth-Order Middle Stage Divine Crystals.

Still, it was better than nothing.

Next came the martial arts pills. To Li Che’s surprise, their quantity was indeed substantial.

A wide variety of martial arts pills were present, but the highest quality pill was only Fifth-Order Lower Stage, and there was just one of them.

Rather disappointing.

Was this the Qiankun Jade of a Princess Consort?

Despite an impressive appearance, in reality… it proved astonishingly scarce?

Li Che frowned in displeasure.

Perhaps it was the immense wealth conveyed by the Martial Saint’s Qiankun Jade that had skewed his expectations, resulting in a sharp psychological contrast with the Princess Consort’s stash.

On the matter of martial arts, there were no surprises either.

Li Che let out a regretful sigh.

Clearly, she was a neglected consort…

Her life strung through with poverty.

“This is…”

Suddenly, Li Che sensed something unusual.

His five fingers clenched.

Instantly, a treasure bead appeared in his palm, radiating soft brilliance, pure and luminous.

The blood on his brow split open as Li Che activated the Divine Skill Star Plucking Pupil.

Endless Analysis, Peering into Illusion and Returning to Truth!

Golden light sparkled within his sharp gaze, sweeping across the treasure bead.

Information emerged at once.

[Five Elders Middle Ice Bone Dragon Element Pearl]

This is…

A Dragon Ball!

A genuine Dragon Ball!

Li Che’s eyes lit up with sudden excitement!

Following her ultimate transformation, Dragon Queen Consort Ao Yuxin shattered the Dragon Ball, expelling and igniting the Dragon Essence within it to fuel her ascension.
