Chapter 692: No Strangest, Only Stranger (2/2)
Remember that the Alchemy Kingdom, the reclusive Jianlong Clan, and the Beastmaster Citadel did not care for the secular world and hid from everyone’s eyes. Because of this, the Heavenhoof Ravine was now arguably the most overbearing and powerful sect in present times. As long as the three previously named monsters didn’t come out, no one would be able to contend with the Heavenhoof Ravine.
Nevertheless, Li Qiye didn’t care for the Vinepill King. He told the madam: “Zi Yan, watch, I will get you the item left behind by Immortal Emperor Wan s.h.i.+.”
The madam was taken aback this time. Earlier, she thought that her Young Master was just joking because everyone knew that this mystery had been left behind for countless years and was studied by numerous geniuses. The only person that was rumored to have found success was the Allpine Treefather.
But now, this entire mystery seemed so trivial when it came out of Li Qiye’s mouth. It was as if he had it within his grasp. While the madam was still startled, Li Qiye had already walked to the cliff and looked at the palm print, smiling.
The most upset with Li Qiye was the Lion Young King, so he coldly uttered: “What an arrogant junior. For millions of years, many geniuses yearned to comprehend it, yet all have failed. A worthless junior like him actually dares to try to solve the mystery of Immortal Emperor Wan s.h.i.+?”
However, Li Qiye paid no attention to the crowd. At this moment, he p.r.i.c.ked his finger and let a drop of blood drip onto the palm print on the cliff.
“Haha, this young n.o.ble actually thought this n.o.body would have some incredible method, but this joke is actually using blood to try to gain the treasure’s acceptance. Truly a frog under a well, a real country b.u.mpkin. You think this treasure has its own consciousness? Or do you think you are the descendant of Immortal Emperor Wan s.h.i.+? To actually drip your blood onto the treasure, this type of joke can only trick little children.” After seeing Li Qiye dripping his blood onto the palm print, the Vinepill King exploded in laughter.
Ridiculing Li Qiye before everyone allowed him to recover a bit of face.
A genius cultivator snorted and shook his head to say: “Ah, earlier, he was spouting some really outrageous stuff, so I thought he actually had some earth-shattering method. Who would expect for him to play this game of blood acceptance? Which village did this brat come from? To actually try this trick… Has he never seen the real world before?”
“Just an ignorant brat, nothing more.” At this time, the Lion Young King sneered and continued to beat the drowning dog: “Immortal Emperor Wan s.h.i.+ left behind a supreme mystery, an invincible secret art, a treasure…”
However, after Li Qiye completed the blood rite and placed his palm onto the print, a buzzing sound could be heard. At this second, overflowing strands of light came out from the print and rushed into Li Qiye’s palm like tidal waves.
“Buzzz—” A series of metallic sounds resounded as these lights encompa.s.sed both of Li Qiye’s hands and turned into an old pair of gloves that emitted an ancient l.u.s.ter.
“What…” Before the Lion Young King could finish his mocking, this scene had already occurred, causing his mouth to open wide. He became unable to speak.
In fact, all the spectators were currently dumbfounded and stared at Li Qiye in a daze. They all felt that this moment was too unbelievable. Their mouths were big enough to cram a goose egg inside, and they couldn’t close them for a very long time due to their astonishment.
Even the madam stood there looking silly. She couldn’t believe it; this was too irrational. How could such a thing happen?
However, what was considered impossible by all had become reality. Everyone on Dao-sense Peak at this moment witnessed it with their own eyes and felt that it was too devilish.
“This… is unreal… it, was it really that simple?” A person simply couldn’t believe what they saw and thought that it was only his own vague and unclear sight.
However, one person could make this mistake, but it was impossible for everyone to have the same illusion all at once. This matter actually happened.
Everyone struggled to regain their sanity. Those who laughed at Li Qiye earlier felt their faces burning up. Li Qiye’s actions was simply a violent slap to their faces.
“This is so… irrational… Didn’t the emperor leave behind a supreme secret art? Why, why did it turn out to be a treasure? Moreover, moreover, it is uncovered by the old trick of blood acceptance?” Even after calming down, an older cultivator still found this whole thing to be inconceivable.
[spoiler t.i.tle='692 Teaser']Li Qiye’s statement immediately soured the expressions of many cultivators here. Both young and old were here to learn the mysteries left behind by Immortal Emperor Wan s.h.i.+, so Li Qiye’s statement offended them all.
The madam couldn’t help but wryly smile at this as well. To immediately offend everyone with the first sentence — this truly required some skill. However, she had already grown accustomed to this since this was not her first time seeing her Young Master act so arrogantly.
“You don’t know the immensity of the heaven and earth.” The Lion Young King’s expression turned cold as he thunderously denounced: “How could a little alchemist like you understand the mysteries left behind by Immortal Emperor Wan s.h.i.+? Don’t stand here and embarra.s.s yourself. It is one thing if Miss Zi Yan could understand a bit, but a little alchemist like you spouting nonsense? Get to the side and don’t bother people trying to meditate here…”
The Lion Young King was already annoyed at Li Qiye, so now after hearing his bl.u.s.tering, it was just in time for him to yell so that this little alchemist would know his place.
Li Qiye was too lazy to look at the young king. He swung his sleeve as if he was chasing away a fly and said: “Zi Yan, where did this stupid creature come from? Chase this eyesore away from my presence.”
