Emperor’s Domination

Chapter 7028: Prepared To Die

To learn the dao in the morning and die in the evening - many immortals once revered this phrase as their guiding maxim.

They truly practiced it since none of them were cowards, at least at the very start. They treated life with triviality and continued to seek the arts, clapping and rejoicing upon each milestone.

As they grew stronger, they took charge not only of their own fate but also that of many others. Alas, the exchange was their courage and open-mindedness towards death. The only thing on their mind was to live longer.

In the rare moments of self-reflection, they became disappointed and mourned what they had become. Nonetheless, this couldn’t change their way of life.

Today, they sympathized and envied Xiaolou Tingxue for doing what they couldn’t.

Li Qiye smiled and let his saber melt away.

“Not killing me?” Xiaolou Tingxue didn’t mind either outcome.

“If you are not afraid of death, killing you or otherwise makes no difference.” Li Qiye said: “You can cross the sea of misery now.”

“The sea of misery?” Listeners gasped and exchanged glances since they understood the significance of this sentence.

Crossing the sea of misery was the official way to describe the path of the primordial immortals to reach the celestial realm. Only then would they reach the shore.

In history, many primordial immortals have tried to no avail, eventually dying from old age. Apex Immortal and Heaven’s Equal from Ancient World were perfect examples.

They have tried many times to no avail, unable to reach the shore. Xiaolou Tingxue was far younger than either of them. Of course, he certainly earned it due to his perseverance.

“Thank you, Sir. I wouldn’t have broken through without you.” The proud Tingxue suddenly changed his tone.

Pride was one thing, but he knew to give credit where it was due. Others became sentimental because this was a moment of rebirth after being so close to death.

“It is due to your perseverance and willpower, not me. I still want to see your Parting Hook.” Li Qiye said.

Others immediately stared at Xiaolou Tingxue who had not used his titular weapon, Parting Hook. Could this be his legacy artifact?

“It is not stronger than the slash earlier, just a minor trick not worth your time, Sir.” Xiaolou Tingxue shook his head.

Others felt a sense of regret but this made sense. After all, the slash earlier took him to the next stage.

“So be it.” Li Qiye smiled before scanning the crowd: “Looks like some got scared and fled already.”

Everyone noticed that Immortal Bronze and the others had fled long ago, taking advantage of the duel.

“Sir, I’ll be leaving as well.” Tingxue bowed.

“Just like that?” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head.

“What instructions do you have, Sir?” He was surprised.

“You’ve all messed up this place, now it is time to clean up.” Li Qiye told him and Heaven’s Equal: “The celestial source will stay here, it belongs to Dusk.”

Having said that, he patted Timeflow Lord’s head three times before vanishing into the distance.

Once Xiaolou Tingxue returned to his senses, he laughed heartily and said: “Very well, let us clean up this place.”

He and the others began to clean up the broken ancestral ground of Fantian Dynasty. The neutral parties sighed and departed Dusk.

Although the celestial source was right beneath their feet, no one dared to disobey Li Qiye. He might be gone but Xiaolou Tingxue and Heaven’s Equal were still here.
