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

Fang Hanshu flicked his fingers, and divinity burst forth, as if dark ink spilled across the heavenly dome, meticulously inscribing the rules into existence.

“Because this is the Four Royal Mysterious Temples, the rank-based suppression they possess is extremely terrifying. Your task is to use your own means to overcome the rank-based pressure emitted by the Mysterious Temple and proceed forward on the path.”

“Along the way, you will encounter Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses, demons, and evil creatures, among other challenges… Your task is to slay these Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses and evil beings.”

“The Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses and evil beings on the three paths have all been subdued and controlled by the Sect Master, leaving them for your trial, simulating the Temple Suppressing Road. Moreover, each Temple Guardian Cursed Corpse and evil creature harbors the Dao Yun of the Grandmaster. In the process of slaying them, you will accumulate Dao Yun…”

“Additionally, the first candidate to reach the Deceit Temple will earn five feet of Dao Yun, the second will earn three feet, and the last will receive no Dao Yun…”

“The time limit is within three incense sticks. Once they’re burned out, the trial ends, and the ultimate scale of Dao Yun earned will determine who becomes the Direct Disciple.”

As they watched Fang Hanshu boldly inscribe the rules with divinity, all present brightened slightly and took a deep breath.

“Rest assured, those Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses and evil creatures have all been carefully selected by the Sect Master. The strongest among them… is no more powerful than a Temple Guardian Cursed Silver Corpse of the Silver Gang level.”

“For you, the pressure may be significant, but… since you’ve dared to choose the Temple Suppressing Road, you must have some aces and hidden strategies.”

“Therefore… on your own path of breaking the temple, show your foundation and fighting spirit.”

Fang Hanshu’s faint voice resounded.

“Any objections?”

Fang Hanshu looked at Xi Xi, Yun E, and Jin Taixui.

Xi Xi cupped her fists in an exaggerated manner: “Nope.”

Jin Taixui and Yun E responded in unison: “No objections.”

“Then choose your respective paths into the Deceit Temple. The Temple Suppressing Road is one that both Martial Artists and Divine Cultivators must traverse eventually; consider this an early training session.”

Fang Hanshu spoke lightly.

Xi Xi nodded repeatedly, thinking it made a lot of sense. The Temple Suppressing Road… wasn’t it just a path of combat?

The Temple Suppressing Road of Emperor Xi Xi would undoubtedly push through invincibly!

“Regardless of the trump cards you showcase on this Temple Suppressing Road, we care only about the ultimate Dao Yun results.”

“Currently, Yun E’s Dao Yun is twelve feet, Li Nuanxi’s is eleven feet, and Jin Taixui’s is five feet… These are your starting Dao Yun amounts. When the three incense sticks burn out, we will see your final Dao Yun tally. The one with the highest will be the victor.”

Fang Hanshu said solemnly.

When his words concluded, he flicked his fingers again.

In an instant, three streams of light shot into the air, spinning rapidly above.

“Make your choices,” Fang Hanshu said.

Almost simultaneously, Xi Xi, Yun E, and Jin Taixui extended their hands to select the light clusters.

Xi Xi crushed her light cluster, and a small slip of paper unfolded to reveal the character “2.”

The small paper slip Yun E unfolded revealed the character “3.”

Jin Taixui’s slip revealed the character “1,” representing the specific paths assigned to their entry into the Mysterious Temple.

Once Jin Taixui confirmed his Temple Suppressing Road, he did not hesitate further. His gaze swept past Yun E, landing on Xi Xi. The corner of his mouth lifted, revealing white teeth.

“Little girl… remember our wager!”

Jin Taixui’s eyes shone with brilliance, and his laughter carried a hint of madness.

He wouldn’t lose!

As long as the Sect Master Lv Taibai of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect didn’t intervene, the backup plan set by the Great Witch God guaranteed that he wouldn’t possibly lose!

Xi Xi placed her hands on her hips, puffed out her little belly. The puppy hidden under her robe was momentarily pushed out by her little belly, its black, beady eyes staring coldly at Jin Taixui. Its dog nose wriggled as it let out a disparaging snort.

Jin Taixui’s gaze fell on the black puppy, his eyebrows furrowing.

“A spiritual Divine Beast? This is your trump card?” Jin Taixui sneered, for he couldn’t sense any terrifying divinity from this little dog.

Jin Taixui shook his head as his voluminous Young Witch Robe fluttered and surged upward.

With his Qi-Blood bursting forth, he took a step and transformed into a straight arrow, shooting toward the dense Mysterious Fog that marked the entrance to Path One of the Deceit Temple.

“Xi Xi, good luck…”

“But today… we are rivals. Hold nothing back and give it your all.”

Yun E’s voice was cold, yet despite her detachment, she still patiently addressed Xi Xi.

Xi Xi nodded earnestly, whereupon Yun E floated gracefully toward her chosen path as well.

Xi Xi cast her eyes upon the path marked as the second Temple Suppressing Road leading toward the Deceit Temple. Her small figure, plump and brimming with enthusiasm, trembled with excitement.

“Gouza, let’s set off!”

Overcome with excitement, Xi Xi clenched her five fingers into a fist. Suddenly… a pink Immortal Blood Fire Bodhi Gatling materialized in her hands. The petite figure hopped and skipped ahead, propelling herself into the Mysterious Fog.

The Mysterious Fog billowed momentarily before swallowing the silhouettes of the three children.

And with that…

The atmosphere in front of the Daping finally became lively.

Li Che, seated upon the Taishi Chair representing the Divine Eagle Ridge Elder, half-closed his eyes. When addressed by other elders, he responded with a warm smile.

For at this moment, the Li Che seated in this chair was merely the [Fairy in the Painting] Li Che.

This [Fairy in the Painting] embodiment of Li Che carried significant divinity, ensuring its stability.

Unless a Primordial Spirit-level Shen Yuan Golden Elixir cultivator unleashed the might of a Fetal Breath Transformation, causing this avatar to be annihilated and scattered into dark ink mist, there would be no issues at all.
