Chapter 1093: Northbound

Li Qiye and the girls left the Machine World and came back to the Imperial Border.

Returning to the Imperial Border and actually stepping on ground made the girls let out sighs of relief; they felt as if they could see the sunlight once more.

Even though the imperial soldiers here were existences without life and flesh, this place at least had beautiful sceneries, unlike the Machine World. That place was like a solitary painting devoid of life. Anyone who stayed there would feel an atmosphere of death and a terrifying loneliness.

The group also heard about the chief amba.s.sador after coming back.

“I’m afraid the Soaring Immortal Sect will not let this go!” Mei Suyao stated.

Li Qiye smiled and didn’t care about it, he only leisurely said: “Let him bark if he wants. A dog that truly knows how to bite won’t bark.”

“The soaring sect will definitely come down this generation.” Li Shuangyan felt a bit worried because Cleansing Incense and the Heavenly G.o.d Sect were mortal enemies, but the Heavenly G.o.d Sect might have the Soaring Immortal Sect as their backing. If the soaring sect was really going to descend, the situation would be quite unfavorable for Cleansing Incense.

“It is only the Soaring Immortal Sect.” Li Qiye noticed her concern and smiled freely: “If the geezers in the sect can grow some eyes, then it will be a good thing. However, if they are blind, then they are simply seeking death.”

Mei Suyao smiled wryly after hearing this. In all of the nine worlds, Li Qiye might be the only one who dared to look down on the soaring sect like this. Other people, even imperial lineages, wouldn’t easily declare war on the soaring sect.

He completely disregarded the five days grace period from the amba.s.sador and led the girls towards the northern region of the Imperial Border.

Along the way, they met many imperial soldiers and a few kingdoms as well. These imperial soldiers ignored cultivators from the outside like Li Qiye’s group.

Of course, if someone dared to provoke them, they would have to suffer the wrath of an entire kingdom. Because of this, ordinary people would never mess with these imperial soldiers. Plus, Regal Gold was not useful for them.

Naturally, within the vast land of the border, there were other minerals and metals besides Regal Gold. This made it so that cultivators and imperial soldiers didn’t have too much conflict. Imperial soldiers could go on excavating their Regal Gold while cultivators dug their own ores.

In the border, powerful sects had fruitful harvests because they had the power for large-scale excavations. Nevertheless, it was not hopeless for vagrant cultivators and smaller sects.

The smart ones specialized in finding abandoned mines that the imperial soldiers had gone through or just picked up the rubbish left behind.

Calling these things rubbish was slightly exaggerated. Many of them received decent treasure metals and divine ores. This was because the imperial soldiers only went after Regal Gold and wouldn’t take another glance at other items. Thus, this was quite a fortune for the cultivators picking up the “trash.”

“A little vagabond obtained a Blood Transformation Stone.” At the border, there was news of people getting treasures by the day.

No one found it strange when the bigger sects found things through excavation. After all, they had this power. In turn, it was much more exciting when the little sects or vagabonds found some treasures.

“This guy is quite clever. After finding the stone, he immediately fled the lesser world and the plateau.” Someone felt like praising him.

“Picking up the Blood Transformation Stone is nothing. The White-cloud Shrine found a Soul Splitting Diamond. Unfortunately, they were too stupid and greedy and wanted to find more treasures. A great power took notice and immediately killed their disciples and the diamond changed owners.”

The greedy ones were often punished for not choosing to run away after finding some treasures. They would often be destroyed by stronger cultivators or sects.

While many cultivators were searching for treasures, Li Qiye’s group continued north and entered a frozen world.

Snow and ice were all over the place. Snowflakes floated down from the vast expanse.

Even imperial soldiers were a rare sight this far up north. This location was not only extremely cold, it had been piled up with glaciers for millions of years. Excavating this place for treasures and Regal Gold was extremely difficult.

There was another reason why imperial soldiers didn’t come here, a reason unknown to outsiders.

“Where are we going now?” Chen Baojiao asked along the way.

“Kingdom of the Emperors!” Li Qiye walked on the snow and glanced at the snowy flakes drifting down while smilingly.
