Chapter 55: Heavenly Cauldron (1) (1/2)
Li Qiye’s Dao instruction and his own cultivation were going well in an orderly manner. Another month had quickly pa.s.sed. This whole time Nan Huairen had never appeared, and Protector Mo had not showed up either.
During that time, Nan Huairen was an amba.s.sador of another sect, so even with his lack of presence, Li Qiye was not surprised. However, as for Protector Mo, it was a bit outside of Li Qiye’s expectations.
“Oh, oh, oh, big brother! You stand tall and see far with penetrating insights, and you understand the grand Dao so well! You could teach any mysterious sacred technique!” Seeing Li Qiye, Nan Huairen rubbed his palms together and cheerfully smiled.
Li Qiye glared at him: “Since you already stay by my side to handle matters, stop tapping the horse’s b.u.t.t. If you have gas, just hurry up and fart.” [1]
Nan Huairen’s face became red, but his expression was still natural. He was indeed a person that believes long sleeves would help one dance beautifully. [2]
He smiled said: “This younger brother requests for older brother to give my cultivation some pointers.”
Li Qiye looked at Nan Huairen, then Protector Mo to the side, then calmly said: “This was Protector Mo’s idea.”
Being figured out by Li Qiye, Protector Mo’s face became red. He couldn’t help but to forcefully smile, he said: “I’m just interested in hearing your wise opinion.”
In reality, during the days of Li Qiye’s Dao instruction, Nan Huairen was outside of the sect. Protector Mo, on the other hand, was still here and inadvertently heard Li Qiye’s Dao instruction. He was startled because an elementary merit law like the Jade Spiral Merit Law, even his master wouldn’t be able to preach with such resonance with the grand Dao. His accidental hearing of Li Qiye’s preaching granted him great benefits.
So, this intrigued Protector Mo; right now, from his perspective, Li Qiye had a peerless perception regarding Dao instruction. He was afraid that there was no one that could compare to him in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. He wanted to be examined like Li Qiye as well, just like he did with the disciples at the Cleansing Jade Peak. However, in the end, he was a protector. Because he personally was a person of few words, he did not know how to deal with people; thus, he didn’t know how to ask Li Qiye.
This was why, after Nan Huairen’s return, he immediately asked Nan Huairen to come here for advice.
Nan Huairen quickly smoothed things over for his master. He smiled “heh heh” and said: “Master said that big brother’s cultivation is high, so your little brother will thick-facedly ask for your advice.”
Li Qiye didn’t look at Nan Huairen. He glared at Protector Mo, and he coldly said: “We’re on the same side; if there is a matter, just be frank about it.”
Here, he didn’t have any other words. The rest was up for them to contemplate.
Protector Mo could see his future from these words. The moment they had joined Li Qiye, with one sentence to Yu He, Li Qiye had propelled their status. Right now, Li Qiye was saying this; even if Protector Mo was foolish, he would still be able to understand the implications behind them.
“What you both are practicing is the minor Emperor merit law ‘Violet Cloud’ right?” Li Qiye looked at the master and disciple as he said this.
“This is correct.” Protector Mo repeatedly nodded his head: “I presently have climbed to the Heaven’s Primal rank, but reaching the heaven’s will Primal G.o.d seems to be a bit too strenuous.” [3]
As a protector of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, Protector Mo’s apt.i.tude, within the protectors, wasn’t the highest; however, he unendingly cultivated without break, so his cultivation had ascended to the Heaven’s Primal rank.
“A minor merit law, in the end, is still minor; in order to cultivate the heaven’s will Primal G.o.d, it is completely true that this isn’t such an easy matter.”
Heaven Primal rank was a boundary for cultivators. Once they have reached this rank, to take an extra step, it was harder than grabbing the sky. At this rank, it was not just dependent on one’s apt.i.tude and talents, but it also depended on one’s merit law, Heavenly Magnificent Treasures, and other various aspects…
Li Qiye spoke: “Violet Cloud is a minor merit law originating from the main Emperor merit law ‘Violet Yang Ten Sun’ of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Reaching the Heaven’s Primal rank, if one also cultivates the Violet Yang Ten Sun, it would be akin to a dragon coming together with a tiger, water and fire combining strengths, and their cultivation will increase!”
“If the sect still has the Violet Yang Ten Sun Merit Law, would I be like this?” Protector Mo dejectedly laughed before gently sighing.
Nan Huairen busily said: “Big Brother, there is something you aren’t aware of; I heard from my great master that our Violet Yang Ten Sun Merit Law, in the sect, is flawed with incompletion and it is not completed to formidability. No one simply dared to just cultivate it. My great master switched to a different Virtuous Paragon merit law once he reached the Heaven’s Primal rank that year, just to reach a higher level.”
Having heard this, Li Qiye was in contemplation. The Violet Yang Ten Sun Merit Law was created by Immortal Min Ren, and it was extremely powerful. Right now, this Emperor merit law was even lost by the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.
In reality, Li Qiye could, once again, find the memory of the Violet Yang Ten Sun Merit Law – this was not a difficult matter. He didn’t even need to see the Violet Yang Ten Sun incompleted manual as just the minor Emperor merit law Violet Cloud was enough in order to regain his memory.
