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

Chapter 1096: Chapter 320 Qi Gate Fully Open – You Dare to Be a Father, Killing Your Son in a Scheme [Request for Monthly Ticket]_3

Li Che couldn’t help but recall the time when he brought his daughter Xi Xi to Golden Light Prefecture City to participate in the Qian Yuan Divine Sect branch disciple examination.

Xi Xi was accepted as the Sect Master’s true successor by Nan Lihuo, thus obtaining the opportunity to enter the Golden Heavenly King Divine Temple atop the branch’s Golden Light Peak to select her fate.

At that time, the chance was too great for his daughter to handle, and Li Che secretly benefited a little from it.

“The Seven Treasures Relic Ruyi Golden Tower!”

Li Che squinted his eyes, a little puzzled at heart.

Why…

would he see this Seven Treasures Relic Ruyi Golden Tower?

“In my current state… the Dream Heavenly Master Dao Fruit is thumping, as if absorbing some kind of energy.”

“Maybe I’m currently in some kind of dream state?”

“The Third Crown Prince’s trial, I managed to hold off the Hell Lotus from entering Xi Xi’s forehead, turning to charcoal, could it be… merely a big dream?”

Li Che’s eyes flickered; it seemed as if he had vaguely grasped something in his heart.

The Third Crown Prince said that the Dharma Xi Xi had been cultivating, the divine appearance it carved, given Xi Xi’s current physical realm, could not be borne at all; it was a mismatch of the physical body.

Thus, it attracted the power of the Hell Lotus Dao Yun, and if it couldn’t bear the Hell Lotus Dao Yun, Xi Xi’s physical body would explode and shatter, reducing to a state like being flayed alive, even if finally reshaped by the Dao Yun, her soul would be impacted, no longer being his daughter, Li Che.

Li Che’s heart trembled slightly; he couldn’t help but remember that time when he first obtained the [Dream Heavenly Master] Dao Fruit, stepping into the dream of a restaurant owner, where he saw the grown-up Xi Xi…

The same cool indifference, devoid of emotions, akin to a burning fire lotus.

Li Che let out a breath.

His eyes settled on the large doors of the Golden Divine Palace.

“Back then, in this Golden Divine Palace, Xi Xi obtained the [Purple Flame Serpentine Spear], and also acquired a divine method [Extreme Sorrow Wind and Fire Three Princes]…”

“At that time, I still wondered why the [Purple Flame Serpentine Spear], such a Four Royal Divine Weapon, would appear in the [Seven Treasures Relic Ruyi Heavenly King Tower]…”

Li Che felt like he might have understood something.

His expression turned slightly solemn.

He stepped forward and pushed the door of the Golden Celestial Tower open abruptly.

With a roar—

The door suddenly swung open.

Before his eyes, he saw Xi Xi enveloped by a group of golden light.

At this time, Xi Xi was still very tender, small and floating in mid-air, wearing an expression of enjoyment and carefreeness.

At her age, she seemed to have no worries.

So cute that one would want to pinch her chubby little cheeks relentlessly.

Li Che’s eyes softened.

Then, his gaze lifted to the huge golden divine sculpture that almost reached the ceiling of the Golden Palace before him!

The statue was unparalleled, wearing golden armor, each piece like a gold leaf, donned with a cloud fan helmet, showing a wrathful expression, holding a halberd in its left hand and a tower in its right, the tower was golden in color, had seven layers, with numerous Buddha statues carved above, possessing dignified treasures, radiant treasure lights, and Buddha lights illuminating all!

Li Che stared at the divine statue, finally locking his sights on the seven-layered pagoda above.

This pagoda…

is the Temple God!

The Seven Treasures Relic Ruyi Tower!

It was exuding boundless Buddha light, and faintly, it seemed as if the Buddha statues carved above the pagoda came to life, walking out from the pagoda in golden Buddha light, standing still unceasingly.

Buddha light illuminated all.

But from within these Buddha lights…

Li Che didn’t feel any warmth.

He slowly closed his eyes, as if the Heaven and Earth chessboard emerged from within his brow.

The Flying Thunder chess piece left on Xi Xi faintly transmitted the outside scene to Li Che.

Even though he was currently in some kind of dream state, the dialogue between Lv Taibai and the Third Crown Prince was heard clearly by him.

“So that’s how it is…”

Li Che slowly let out a breath.

Turns out…

the real culprit was here.

Why the Hell Lotus Dao Yun was prematurely triggered…

It turns out… it was here!

Li Che suddenly opened his eyes!

This was a plot against the Temple God of [Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Furious Third Prince]!

This was a plot among the Temple Gods!

The Heavenly King Tower atop Golden Light Peak had always existed, waiting for someone destined to bear the [Purple Flame Serpentine Spear], it turns out…

Everything was for this moment!

To extinguish the rare awakened conscious will of the Third Prince Temple God!

Xi Xi having obtained the Purple Flame Serpentine Spear became a part of the plot, or rather, a very crucial part!

Having obtained the Purple Flame Serpentine Spear, the power stimulating the Hell Lotus Dao Yun was hidden within it.

Such a high-level power as Dao Yun, even Li Che would not be able to detect it.

And when Xi Xi was breaking through the divine aspect… this power got triggered, inciting the Hell Lotus Dao Yun, pushing Xi Xi to the brink of life-and-death decisions, and evoking the awakened conscious will of the Third Prince.

Li Che clenched his five fingers, his forehead covered with veins.

If Xi Xi were to accept the Hell Lotus Dao Yun, her physical body would be obliterated, and the awakened will of the Third Prince would resink into slumber, possibly even be usurped by the dead Temple God’s will.

And if Xi Xi chose not to accept, and the Third Prince were to aid Xi Xi…

The awakened Temple God’s will, wielding the power of the Hell Lotus, would guide Xi Xi through the divine aspect…

In the end, this will would exhaust the power of the Hell Lotus and completely obliterate.

“So ruthless…”

“Do you even deserve… to be a father?”

Li Che suddenly understood why the Third Prince’s obsession was so deep.

The Third Prince Temple God already knew during the Temple God Resonance trial that Li Che’s love for Xi Xi, so the trial he set had already had its answer long ago.
