Chapter 238: Refining the Pristine Worldly Metal (2) (2/2)
When cultivators reached the Bridge Creation level, they would be able to soar through the span of thousands of miles without the need for any treasure. This was the foundation for cultivators to reach the sky and enter the earth in the future; they would be able to pillar the nine heavens above and explores the nine worlds below!
During his cultivation, Li Qiye used the Revolving Crescent Sun Law to channel his Life Wheel while the Kun Peng’s Six Variants turned into a dao foundation to raise his True Fate. At this moment, this dao foundation resembled a supreme dao chapter. As it opened, magical runes started to move, and it seemed as if this dao chapter was preaching the Immortal Scripture to the True Fate.
As the essence of the heaven and earth was poured in with the tapping of the Fate Merit, sounds of the grand dao resonated within the True Fate, taking the shape of a Kun Peng!
However, Li Qiye did not imagine that his four symbols and his Fate Palaces themselves were all affected by the Pristine Worldly Metal. When the Fate Palace was growing the metal, the metal that was filled with primordial forces also affected the Fate Palaces. Unknowingly, Li Qiye’s Fate Palaces were filled with primordial power! [3. Four symbols = pillar, cauldron, tree, and spring]
This scene left Li Qiye in shock. This was a symbiosis process as his Fate Palaces and the Pristine Worldly Metal were working together, exchanging life essence for primordial power. Otherwise, Li Qiye’s life force would not be able to nurture the immensity of the Pristine Worldly Metal by itself.
In the end, if a Life Treasure was too powerful, then a Fate Palace would not be able to nurture it. If a Life Treasure absorbed way too much life essence, then it would be a lose-lose situation just like a fisherman draining the pond to get to the fish.
At this moment, Li Qiye’s Fate Palace was growing this metal while the metal returned primordial energy back to the Fate Palaces. This was a win-win situation for both sides as they both reaped the benefits!
Li Qiye cultivated non-stop once he was back at the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. He did not care about foreign affairs. In the end, his cultivation was not powerful enough. Even if he had many schemes to destroy his enemies, the true and correct path was to have a powerful self-cultivation.
Of course, Li Qiye was not the only one practicing hard back at the sect. At the moment, the sect’s atmosphere was great. All of its disciples, especially the younger generation, were extremely diligent. Luo Fenghua, Zhang Yu, Qu Daoli, and Xu Pei’s groups were great role models for the other disciples.
“Zhang, zhang, zhang...” Waves of melodious music rang back at the Zither Pavilion, formerly known as the Ghost Pavilion. Li Qiye gently stroked his ancient zither as he played his tune.
During his leisure moments away from cultivation, Li Qiye couldn’t help but come to this place to play a song. Today, his ancient zither was no longer an Emperor’s Possession; the battle at Ancient Sky City had completely expended its emperor’s power and immortal intent.
This ancient zither was given to Immortal Emperor Min Ren by him. There were too many memories attached to this place, so Li Qiye couldn’t help but sigh after he finished his tune.
During his reminiscence, another soft sigh appeared as a shadowy figure who was always there to quietly listen to the music as if she was spell-bound.
“Flowing Water Mortal Home...” [2. The name of the tune, played back in chapter 73 as well.]
Su Yuhe could only lament as she was only a yearning sentiment; she wasn’t even a ghost nor human, she was only a yearning sentiment without any trace of life!
“In the end, I can’t play it as well as Little Brat Min Ren.” Li Qiye finished playing and smilingly spoke.
Su Yuhe was melancholic as she replied: “The Immortal Emperor only felt pity for me. Your Excellency is different; you are supreme for all generations so your song is different from the Immortal Emperor’s song.”
Li Qiye gently shook his head and said: “Why must you do this? It has been too long, there is no need for you to suffer like this.”
Su Yuhe, a yearning sentiment, became silent and didn’t say anything.
“Nevermind…” Li Qiye gently continued on: “How about this, I will go to the Eastern Hundred Cities and take your remains! Just let everything dissipate. A million years of being neither ghost nor human… Even if Little Brat Min Ren was here, he wouldn’t want to see you like this.”
“Thank you for fulfilling my wish.” Su Yuhe prostrated and said: “If I could be buried under the peach tree, I will no longer have any yearning sentiment!”
“That year, I buried you under the Yearning Lunar Peak. Your fateful connection with Min Ren was also because of me.” Li Qiye said with some helplessness: “Now, I will bury you under the peach tree, and this could be considered the end of your fateful connection. This is a lamentable connection, so it should just end in peace.”
“Yuhe will not be able to repay Your Excellency’s benevolence.” Su Yuhe very gratefully replied.
Li Qiye gently waved his sleeve and sighed before speaking: “This started because of me, so it should end by my hands. You should rest after being buried under the peach tree to avoid eternal lamentation. Little Brat Min Ren, ah…” He didn’t say anything else at this point.
He didn’t have much to say about Immortal Emperor Min Ren. He had trained many invincible existences. One could say that Little Brat Min Ren had always supported him no matter what. Immortal Emperor Min Ren had never questioned him and absolutely stuck with him to the end.
