"Alright, father, come and see what you can do."

Chen Sansi suppressed his cultivation to the True Power Early Stage, then raised his hand to take the incoming punch, responding in kind.

The two iron fists collided with a resounding crash, one side brimming with fiery Fire Element True Power, the other surging with relentless Incense Fire Mystical Energy.

After a brief stalemate, Chen Duhe voluntarily retreated half a step, and in the instant his hands came together, his black hair transformed into Purple Energy soaring into the sky, his pupils bursting out with a majestic purple glow. Between his brows, a green-gray mark appeared, resembling an incense burner formed from wisps of incense.

His spine arched like a drawn crimson bow, his entire being transformed into a man-shaped sword edge, shooting skyward. Amidst the dispersing Incense Fire Mystical Energy, a distinctive crimson Mystical Energy suddenly erupted, delivering a punch as if a deity from the temple was descending to the mortal realm.

Chen Sansi mobilized True Power, the bones in his body emitting a crisp sound like molten lava flowing, delivering a punch skyward, as hot magma surged from the crack in the ground under his left foot.

Under the constraint of realm suppression, the two engaged in what seemed like a back-and-forth exchange.

This is...

Incense Fire Divine Power!

Chen Sansi slowed his pace, felt the unique power within the child's body, and was somewhat surprised.

"Oh?"

As he was lost in thought, two more arms grew behind Chen Duhe, turning two fists into four, the punch coming out invisible and unpredictable.

Chen Sansi accompanied him with interest for a dozen rounds before saying, "Father can do this too."

Mystical Spirit Six Arms!

Behind him, four additional arms suddenly rose, bathed in brilliant golden light, like a divine statue awakening.

As the six arms appeared, Chen Duhe's pupils shrank sharply. He couldn't help but become flustered, and a slight lapse exposed his flaw, causing him to be struck in the chest and fly backward, crashing heavily into the courtyard paved with green stone bricks.

"Father?!"

He clutched his chest, gritting his teeth as he said, "Where did your six arms come from?!"

Having realized Incense Fire Martial Arts, Chen Duhe was initially proud, but when it came to a real fight, even if his father disregarded cultivation, the gap between them in martial arts was like cloud and mud.

"You, under thirty, have already independently founded a sect. Truth be told, in terms of achievements, father is not your equal."

Chen Sansi pulled his opponent up: "What you lack is the pure understanding of martial arts."

Father and son sat on the ground, engaging in a rare conversation.

Through understanding, Chen Sansi realized his perception was not wrong. In a certain sense, Duhe already embodied the Incense Fire Divine Spirit. Even if weak, he indeed counted.

The biggest difference between Incense Fire Divine Dao and conventional martial arts is no longer relying entirely on Spiritual Energy; as long as there is incense, one can cultivate.

There are two ways to obtain incense.

One, plundering the incense from other deities.

Two, establishing temples and accepting the incense offerings from all beings.

"Father Emperor."

Chen Duhe said: "The temple must be willingly built by the people. I plan to go to the Cultivation World soon to do some things for the people there."

"This is your own path; as your father, I will not stop you."

Chen Sansi said calmly: "But I hope you remember, no matter how high you climb in the future, never forget where your power comes from."

"I know."

Chen Duhe said blankly: "Although I am not like Father Emperor, who has the heart for the world and considers all living beings, I also understand the principle of borrowing and repaying favors. Since the incense is lent to me by them, I naturally will not turn it into calamity."

"It's good that you understand."

Chen Sansi didn't continue the idle chat and led Prince Yu back to the palace for a family dinner.

At the dining table, he watched his family enjoy themselves, though he barely touched his chopsticks.

After a cultivator achieves Core Formation, they only occasionally consume Fasting Pills and no longer need to eat mortal grains.

"Your Majesty."

The Empress stood up to pour wine, asking softly: "Since you've returned this time, when do you plan to leave?"

"I should stay for a while."

Chen Sansi replied: "I can personally handle some state affairs and spend time with all of you."

After the evening banquet, he rested in the Empress's chambers. The next day, he was in the Imperial Concubine's palace, spending time with his youngest daughter.

This morning, wearing a long robe, Chen Sansi leaned over a table, meticulously handling Array Flags and Array Plates.

The reason he didn't immediately return to Heavenly Water wasn't for the comfort of family gatherings. Quite the opposite, it was because the Ancestor Vein had begun to revive and the sealing could break at any moment, prompting him to urgently solve the issue fundamentally.

Extreme North, Destructive Spirit Array!

Only by refining the Destructive Spirit Array and annihilating the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein can the problem be truly resolved; everything else is a temporary measure.

To find the location of the Extreme North, he first needs to decipher the compass left by his master.

[Skill: Formation (Second-tier)]

[Progress: 649/1000]

Before reaching third-tier in formations, Chen Sansi does not plan to return to Heavenly Water.

At the same time, he sent people into Sky Water Continent to find and gather the items he needs.

The spiritual objects required for the Glazed Golden Body naturally go without saying.

The Dragon Abyss Sword and Longdan Bright Silver Spear also need new materials to be added and refined into magical treasures.

Besides, the number of cultivators in Sky Wall City has already reached ten thousand, but the official seal is still not complete, lacking a large amount of "Green Crystal."

These tasks can only proceed gradually.

I just don't know how the upcoming war in Heavenly Water will develop.

...

Thousands of miles away, at the core of Sky Water Continent.

Immortal Peaks stretch endlessly, seventy-two in total, collectively guarding the central, primary Immortal Mountain of Heavenly Water.

The mountain towers ten thousand feet high, submerged in a sea of clouds, but its summit is not like ordinary mountain ranges, sharp as sword edges, but flat like a jade plate, as if once cleaved through the waist by a Heaven-opening Giant Axe.

Legend has it that in Ancient Times, Kunlun Mountain could directly connect to the Upper Realm, and Bai Yujing, which once stood in the Cultivation World, was established here.
