Chapter 1315: Hallowed Ancestor (2/2)
The elder wryly smiled and didn’t comment. As schoolmasters, the girls were able to understand many things with a single glance.
“Both the positions of Immortal Emperor and sea G.o.d are meant for the young to compete, so it should be up to them. Your Hallowed Ancestor wouldn’t do something like eliminating his disciple's compet.i.tors.”
Ruyan added: “The Roaring Conch isn’t easy to mess with either. I heard they still have a living overseer. If the G.o.ddess wants the position, they might be the ones to ambush her instead. I’m still surprised about your ancestor being alive, though.”
Li Qiye looked at the elder and said: “The conch is strong, but not to the level where your pavilion should be this wary. The one you are worried about has to be Meng Zhentian.”
Ruyan and Jians.h.i.+ shuddered after hearing this. If Meng Zhentian was to become the Immortal Emperor early and pick between the G.o.ddess and the prince then help them become a sea G.o.d, it would result in an unstoppable combination.
This would be a duo capable of sweeping through Heaven Spirit and the nine worlds. No other overlord would be able to stop them.
The two girls finally understood why the pavilion was willing to trade sea G.o.d’s weapons and merit laws to renew their ancestor’s life. They must make sure that the Seven Sea G.o.ddess becomes the winner in this compet.i.tion.
In order to do so, their strongest ancestor must come out and personally protect the G.o.ddess!
The elder took a deep breath and solemnly said: “If Young n.o.ble Li is willing to help us, you can pick two items from our pavilion after the matter is done.”
“It looks like you are adding more to the table.” Li Qiye laughed in response.
The elder had no choice. These three figured out the essence of this issue too quickly. Without a doubt, they required Li Qiye’s a.s.sistance this time. It was better for them to decisively name the price in front of him.
The other ancestors of the pavilion had told him that unless the bottom line is crossed, they were willing to agree to all of Li Qiye’s conditions.
The elder stared at him earnestly: “Young n.o.ble Li, what do you think now? Our pavilion sincerely wants to work with you. If you still think that these conditions are not suitable, you can state your own demands.”
The elder put on a pitiful posture, letting Li Qiye do whatever he wanted. This was to say that Li Qiye could name whatever price he wanted. It was the pavilion displaying their sincerity in this deal for Li Qiye to see.
“Same as before, I’m not interested.” Li Qiye was unmoved and refused with a grin.
This att.i.tude from Li Qiye was quite a headache for the elder. Anyone else would have already agreed to such favorable conditions, but Li Qiye was completely indifferent.
The elder composed himself once more and continued: “Young n.o.ble Li, you can pick any treasure from our pavilion as long as the life renewal is successful. Moreover, the Hallowed Ancestor will be your dao protector and s.h.i.+eld as you become the Immortal Emperor!”
The two girls were moved this time. The immortal throne was an incomparable temptation that no one could resist.
Claiming that he would protect a human for the throne was a bold and seemingly bl.u.s.tering statement. However, it was different for the Hallowed Ancestor. He had protected two sea G.o.ds before, so his strength was beyond doubt. Furthermore, he was experienced in this endeavor. With his protection, as long as the genius was strong enough, the possibility of them becoming Immortal Emperor was quite high.
Li Qiye only chuckled at this new condition.
Jians.h.i.+, on the other hand, made a suggestion: “Elder, you might as well have your Seven Sea G.o.ddess follow Young n.o.ble. It would be a formidable alliance.”
Ruyan chimed in with a smile: “That’s not a bad idea, marrying the G.o.ddess to Young n.o.ble. The descendant of an Immortal Emperor and a sea G.o.ddess will have matchless talents. Plus, you will become family, so it would be a matter of course for Young n.o.ble to renew your ancestor’s life.”
“Err—” The elder didn’t respond right away. He took his time musing this idea. It really wasn’t a bad proposal at all.
A match between an Immortal Emperor and a sea G.o.ddess was perfect. More importantly, Li Qiye had an imperial bloodline. If he were to become an Immortal Emperor, this bloodline would become even more precious. Their offspring would bring a golden age to the pavilion, and the bloodline of their descendants would undergo an unprecedented evolution.
