Chapter 6074: Price For Everything
“Sir, thank you for letting me feel divinity again. I don’t know what I can do to repay you.” The old woman kneeled.
“Repayment is unnecessary.” Li Qiye said: “Go now.”
She walked away but didn’t get far before turning back to ask: “Sir, can I still be saved?”
“Define saved.” Li Qiye smiled.
“Back to divinity.” She responded quickly.
“Both people and ghosts are alike, only appreciate when it’s gone.” Li Qiye said.
“That’s exactly right, Sir. Divinity made my life so beautiful. How meaningless my life is now.” She lamented, feeling like a withered flower.
His light made her feel the beauty of divinity again and ignited a fierce desire. Lifespan could be thrown away now in exchange.
“One misstep can lead to an eternity of regret. Although you’ve failed to uphold your original pursuit, a terrible mistake, it is not over with enough determination and sacrifice.” He said.
“I will remember this, Sir.” Her eyes lit up as hope returned. She bowed respectfully before leaving.
Six-style stood in a daze, seemingly contemplating something.
“Don’t want to leave?” Li Qiye chuckled.
She regained her senses and said: “So even everlasting life has its downsides.”
She was aware that a four-fruit emperor was only the beginning. The path ahead was long and arduous.
Emperors and desolate gods, ancestors and heaven-slayers, even the mythical overlords chased after everlasting life and immortality.
Seeing the old woman made Six-style wonder if everlasting life was worth abandoning all else. She was twisted into an abomination - the opposite of her divine and noble self in the past.
“There’s more to it than just staying alive.” Li Qiye said: “Everlasting life requires passing a noble test of the dao heart. Otherwise, one would succumb to shortcuts leading to damnation. There’s no getting around it.”
“A short, brilliant spark is better than a borrowed life.” She murmured. The old woman earlier was a prime example - a supreme being turning into a beggar.
“Let’s go.” Li Qiye smiled.
“Boom!” An imperial aura blocked their path, exerting immense pressure on the entire forest.
A grand figure accompanied by dragon roars from a primal world descended.
Six-style was surprised to see him.
Dragonform’s gaze swept through the scene like a divine blade, changing the pattern of the wind. He focused on Li Qiye first, Enigma Loops, and then Six-style.
Both emperors were pillars of Enigma Dynasty.
“Brother Dragonform, you’re here as well?” Six-style was surprised to see him.
“This is not the place to be, hurry and leave.” He didn’t have time for civility.
“I appreciate your concern but I’m with the young noble.” Six-style smiled.
Dragonform scowled, having no love for Li Qiye. He would have done something if it wasn’t for Enigma Loops in Li Qiye’s possession.
“Immortal Suppression is coming, Yangrune.” He told Six-style.
Six-style’s expression darkened. Yangrune Emperor was the reason why she attempted to self-implode. The power disparity was insurmountable.
“Take care of yourself, don’t throw your life away for nothing here.” Dragonform said and left without addressing Li Qiye. He didn’t consider the guy as one of them.
“My apologies, Young Noble. Brother Dragonform has a fiery temper.” Six-style told Li Qiye.
All the emperors from Enigma understood the significance of the bracelets. Dragonform just didn’t want to admit it.
Li Qiye smiled and continued walking. Six-style sighed because Dragonform never cared about the matters of Enigma. He only focused on his cultivation and obtaining powerful treasures; others did not influence him.
As they delved deeper into the forest, they heard loud rumblings and explosions. A massive ghost temple appeared, resembling a grand manor.
“Clank!” The sounds of coins being tossed high into the air could be heard.
The temple exuded golden rays, looking like an opened treasure box.
“Money Temple!” This attracted many cultivators’ attention.
