Chapter 377 - 375: Preparing to Set Off

For an Inheritance Territory, to put it bluntly, even if their ancestral foundation was destroyed, there might be a chance to recover in the future. However, if their Earth Vein was destroyed, they were well and truly finished. A great Earth Vein was a creation of heaven and earth, formed through the accumulation of millions upon millions of years.

Once a great Earth Vein was destroyed, it meant recovery would be impossible for ages to come. The destruction of a great Earth Vein meant it could never be rebuilt!

Today, the Tiger Roar Sect’s ancestral foundation had been annihilated and its great Earth Vein destroyed. Even if some of the old and young had escaped, even if some disciples had survived the disaster, they could never rebuild the Tiger Roar Sect.

When the destruction of the Tiger Roar Sect was brought up, a Sect Leader couldn’t help but say emotionally, "A Great Sect, wiped out just like that. Li Qiye is simply too heaven-defying, too monstrous. Compared to him, whether they’re Great Teaching Inheritors or successors to Ancient Countries, they all pale in comparison. He’s practically not human!"

Destroying a Great Sect single-handedly—never mind the younger generation, even Saint Venerables and Saint Emperors of the older generation lacked that kind of power. Yet, Li Qiye, a member of the younger generation, had destroyed the Tiger Roar Sect all by himself. Even the Tiger Roar Sect’s legendary Four Great Evil Tombs couldn’t suppress him. How could this not leave people utterly horrified?

At this point, whenever Li Qiye was mentioned, the expressions of all the geniuses from Great Sects and inheritors from Jiang Countries would sour, and they could only fall silent.

Thinking back to when Li Qiye first arrived in the East Hundred Cities, so many geniuses from Great Sects and inheritors from Jiang Countries paid him no mind. Yet today, Li Qiye had stirred up a storm and annihilated the Tiger Roar Sect. This left the many genius inheritors who had once looked down on him aghast. Today, when any genius was compared to Li Qiye, they were utterly eclipsed.

"With his current momentum, I’m afraid even Fairy Mei Suyao and Divine Being Ji Kong Wudi have had their fame overshadowed by Li Qiye. With a fierce person like Li Qiye around, does the younger generation even have a chance to shine?" an older, high-ranking figure said with a sigh of resignation.

The Tough Dao Era had passed, and a new great era had arrived. Countless Great Teaching Territories had hoped their disciples could contend for supremacy in this new age. Before this, geniuses like Hu Yue, Ba Xia, Ancestor Emperor Wu, and Celestial Emperor Qingxuan were already enough to leave the younger generation breathless.

As for Fairy Mei Suyao and Divine Being Ji Kong Wudi, they were even more unattainable. The two of them were like two colossal Divine Mountains looming before the entire younger generation, making it impossible for anyone to surpass them.

However, the Li Qiye of today had driven countless members of the younger generation to despair. The fierce Li Qiye—his mere presence in the East Hundred Cities was enough to strike fear into people’s hearts. Today, with Li Qiye around, everyone in the younger generation, no matter who they were, had to give him a wide berth. A fierce person who could annihilate a Great Sect with a single move—who among the younger generation would dare to provoke him?

The Yao Guang Ancient Country was swept away, the Tiger Roar Sect was annihilated. The storm from these events lasted for a long time, with countless people discussing the matter. With such a shocking event, some were happy, some were sad, and some were even celebrating.

However, while the crowds were still abuzz, Li Qiye had already started back to the Celestial Dao Academy. Before returning, though, he summoned the Lion Roar Saint Emperor.

A being like the Lion Roar Saint Emperor was a renowned figure even among the top experts of the older generation in the East Hundred Cities. But today, upon meeting Li Qiye, even a veteran expert like the Lion Roar Saint Emperor dared not put on any airs.

Li Qiye gave the Ancient Box left behind by the Overlord Immortal Lion King to the Lion Roar Saint Emperor. When the Lion Roar Saint Emperor opened the Ancient Box and took a closer look, he was completely stunned.

"Th-th-this... this is my ancestor’s Immortal Body Technique! H-h-how is this possible?" The Lion Roar Saint Emperor stammered, deeply moved. "Th-th-this... even our main family doesn’t have this!"

Even Chi Xiaodie, Chi Xiaodao, and their father, the Lion Roar Emperor, who were standing by, were shocked. An Immortal Body Technique! This was something that even an Emperor Immortal Gate would covet!

The Lion Roar Saint Emperor himself looked at Li Qiye in disbelief. This was the original manual of their ancestor’s Immortal Body Technique, something even their main family didn’t possess. For such a thing to appear in Li Qiye’s hands was simply too incredible.

Legend in the Lion Roar Saint Emperor’s main family said that the original manual for the Immortal Body Technique had been taken away by their ancestor. The main family was left with only a copy. Later on, even the copy was lost. From then on, their main family no longer had the Immortal Body Technique.

"It’s nothing," Li Qiye said nonchalantly. "In the Ancient Sky Corpse Land, I once met your ancestor and formed a karmic bond with him. I promised him I would repay this karma to his descendants. So, I am returning your ancestor’s belongings to you."

"The Ancient Sky Corpse Land!" The Lion Roar Saint Emperor was too shocked to speak. After a long moment, he came to his senses, took a deep breath, and said with great emotion, "Our ancestor really is in the Ancient Sky Corpse Land! I once tried to go, but unfortunately, I couldn’t get in!"

The Lion Roar Saint Emperor had heard rumors about his ancestor being buried in the Ancient Sky Corpse Land. After his main family lost the Immortal Body Technique, he had thought about going to the Ancient Sky Corpse Land to find his ancestor. Unfortunately, what kind of place was the Ancient Sky Corpse Land? Even a Saint Emperor would find it difficult to venture deep inside, let alone reach the legendary Dragon Vein where his ancestor was said to be buried.

Thus, although the Lion Roar Saint Emperor had made an attempt, he was unsuccessful. In the end, he had no choice but to give up and turn his attention to the Celestial Dao Academy.

After finally regaining his composure, the Lion Roar Saint Emperor bowed deeply to Li Qiye and said, "Young Noble, your great kindness to our Lion Roar Sect is beyond words. In the future, if you ever have a need for our Lion Roar Sect, you need only give the word, and we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

’The Lion Roar Saint Emperor was indescribably excited. An Immortal Body Technique! This was something even Emperor Immortal Gates coveted, yet Li Qiye had given it to him so casually! This Immortal Body Technique was far too important to him. What he lacked was the complete version from his ancestor. For Li Qiye to return it today was a true godsend.’

The Lion Roar Saint Emperor possessed an Innate Saint Body. His aptitude was very high, and his innate conditions were excellent. He had struggled his whole life, only to barely reach the Immortal Body Minor Achievement. This was only thanks to the help of the various deans at the Celestial Dao Academy, who had helped him find a partial Immortal Body Technique of his ancestor’s within the academy.

Today, Li Qiye’s return of their ancestor’s Immortal Body Technique held immense significance for both the Lion Roar Saint Emperor and the Lion Roar Sect.

Regarding the Lion Roar Saint Emperor’s pledge of allegiance, Li Qiye just smiled and didn’t say much before leaving with Li Shuangyan and the others.

Before Li Qiye left, the Lion Roar Saint Emperor gave Chi Xiaodie some special instructions. In his eyes, his granddaughter’s future would be limitless if she followed Li Qiye, so he hoped that Chi Xiaodie would continue to follow him.

Li Qiye and his group returned to the Celestial Dao Academy. Whether they were from the Dingshi Academy or the Saint World Academy, all the genius disciples’ expressions changed upon seeing Li Qiye. Those students who had previously been his enemies would make a wide detour the moment they saw him from a distance.

Li Qiye had annihilated the Tiger Roar Sect with a single move. How could the students from the Great Teaching Territories in the Celestial Dao Academy possibly dare to provoke this fierce person now? Even a power as strong as the Tiger Roar Sect had been destroyed. If they were to make an enemy of Li Qiye again, wouldn’t that be courting death?

As for the students of the Great World Academy, they were overjoyed to hear of Li Qiye’s return. They welcomed him back with an incredibly enthusiastic ceremony. Many of the junior and senior female students were especially passionate, so much so that Li Qiye couldn’t handle it. He tossed these trivial matters to Chi Xiaodie and couldn’t be bothered to show his face again.

Although Li Qiye had returned to the Celestial Dao Academy this time, he didn’t plan on staying for long. He intended to set off for the Ghost Sacred Realm!

After setting a time with the Domain God, Li Qiye prepared to leave. Before his departure, he said to Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao, "You two should return to the Xiyan Ancient Sect first. I’ll come back after I’ve taken care of my business in the Ghost Sacred Realm."

"How about we go with you to the Ghost Sacred Realm?" Chen Baojiao didn’t dare to ask, but Li Shuangyan wanted to go.

Li Qiye smiled and shook his head. "Normally, I would definitely take you. But not now. The realm path connecting the Nine Realms has been destroyed, and the realm walls are difficult to breach. Although the Domain God has the strength to open a path and send us through, it’s still very dangerous. Every extra person is an additional burden on the Domain God. More importantly, my intended destination is a bit tricky. It would only be more difficult if you came along. Next time. I promise I’ll take you to visit the Otherworlds when I get the chance."

Compared to others, it could be said that Li Qiye doted on and highly valued Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao.

Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao did indeed want to go to the Ghost Sacred Realm to broaden their horizons. Hearing Li Qiye’s explanation, they could only give up the idea. After all, to them, nothing was more important than Li Qiye’s safety.

Finally, Li Qiye took out the Profound Earth Turtle Staff and the Emperor Purple Hammer. He gave them to Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao to take back to the Xiyan Ancient Sect, instructing, "Try not to use these things unless you have to. Don’t take them out unless it’s an absolute last resort. For now, just treat them as the sect’s ultimate hidden treasures."

Immortal Emperor’s Treasures were naturally tempting; any sect would want to possess such powerful items. However, his Immortal Emperor’s Treasures had been plundered, and they would surely attract greedy eyes. Therefore, Li Qiye didn’t want the Xiyan Ancient Sect to use them lightly. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they should not bring out these ultimate hidden treasures.

Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao couldn’t help but be moved. Chen Baojiao asked, "What about you?" For anyone, having one or two extra Immortal Emperor’s Treasures for protection was the safest bet.

Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh. "Your Young Noble has more treasures than he knows what to do with. A mere Immortal Emperor’s Treasure is nothing. Next time there’s a chance, I’ll just go and snatch three or five Immortal Emperor True Artifacts."

These words made Chen Baojiao purse her lips into a smile, and even Li Shuangyan couldn’t help but grin. For others, Emperor’s Soldiers were items one could only hope to encounter by chance, but for their Young Noble, they seemed to be things that were easily obtained.
