Chapter 789: Hundred-Life Alchemy Emperor

After knowing Li Qiye’s real ident.i.ty, the two old ancestors were distressed. They secretly prayed and hoped that Li Qiye would forgive the Alchemy Kingdom out of consideration for their forefather. Otherwise, the kingdom would have to face an existential crisis…

The old man and Li Qiye continued to appreciate the ancestral ground in tranquility. Only the two of them were slowly strolling across this land.

In the Alchemy Kingdom, this old man was the strongest existence, and only Ancestor Wushuang was older than him.

No one knew his real name, but the t.i.tle Hundred-Life Alchemy Emperor absolutely reverberated across the entire Stone Medicine World and even all nine worlds.

In that era, the Hundred Life Alchemy Emperor was considered an existence that could become the second Immortal Emperor Yao Zu, a person who was both an Immortal Emperor and an Alchemy Emperor!

Alas, he was born in the same generation as Empress Hong Tian. The tragedy was predestined, so he ultimately couldn’t become the Immortal Emperor.

Back in that era, many viewed him with high chances of becoming the emperor. However, in the battle for the Heaven’s Will, he was utterly defeated by Empress Hong Tian and lost his chance from then on.

Of course, the world did not know that at an even earlier time when he was a very young teen, he had met Li Qiye in his Dark Crow form!

The Dark Crow at that time truly valued the alchemy emperor. He had the highest apt.i.tude regarding the dao of alchemy, as if he was born for this path. Li Qiye gifted him a cauldron and taught him some alchemy as well. Later on, for a plethora of reasons, Li Qiye left the Stone Medicine World.

By chance, the Hundred-Life Alchemy Emperor joined the Alchemy Kingdom and became its disciple. His cultivation soared after this, and he eventually became its main descendant. During this period, he enjoyed ill.u.s.trious fame as a genius.

Later on, he became an Emperor Candidate and fought against Hong Tian. The rest of the story was already told.

This defeat perhaps was not a bad thing for the alchemy emperor. After leaving the battle for the Heaven’s Will, he focused on the dao of alchemy to eventually become an extraordinary alchemy emperor. Some even said that in the dao of alchemy, he was definitely comparable to the Alchemy Kingdom’s progenitor, Immortal Emperor Yao Zu.

He created many miracles for the dao of alchemy as an emperor and was praised by the nine worlds as its supreme alchemist. A very long time later, he disappeared from the world.

Future generations all thought that he had died, but a very few knew that he was still alive and was buried in the deepest parts of the kingdom, never to show himself again. Even the kingdom’s disciples didn’t know that they still had a living alchemy emperor.

Only ancestor-level characters knew that they still had an Alchemy Emperor who was also an Emperor Candidate!

An Emperor Candidate was an existence recognized by the Heaven’s Will. The path of the grand era had G.o.dkings while the equivalent of this on the path of the heavens were Emperor Candidates!

Eventually, the Hundred-Life Alchemy Emperor and Li Qiye climbed to the highest peak of the ancestral ground to gaze at a distant location. However, that area was engulfed in worldly essence and endless laws, so no one could see through it.

After a looking at it for a while, Li Qiye emotionally uttered: “The three vein sources... Numerous invincible existences had wanted to understand their origins and mysteries throughout the years, but how many were successful?”

“My lord knows more about the three sources than anyone else in this world.” The Hundred-Life Alchemy Emperor replied. This was not mere flattery but the simple truth.

Li Qiye only smiled and didn’t deny this claim: “I will definitely take a trip there in this generation!” His eyes narrowed after saying this.

“My lord has regained your body in this generation, so you will be able to create an eternal legend.” The alchemy emperor sighed disappointedly: “Alas, I am old and won’t be able to go, or else I would follow you by your side.”

Someone as capable as the emperor had used all kinds of means to increase his lifespan, including immortal medicines. To increase the longevity of someone of his level was harder than reaching for the heavens.

Li Qiye continued to gaze at the farthest area and was lost in silence as if immersed in old memories.

After a while, the alchemy emperor softly said: “My lord, you will definitely go to that place in the future.”
