Chapter 1349: The Pavilions Plan (2/2)
“Well…” The elder awkwardly backed away after being disappointed.
Li Qiye laughed: “Elder, there’s no need to try and hide it from me by bargaining every step of the way. Be honest, what is the bottom line of your ancestor? Four styles or perhaps five? In my opinion, five is his limit. The seven styles are indeed unbeatable, but I’m only interested in the last three. The first four might be incredible, but that’s all they are. This is not the case for the last three. Their profundities are worth pondering, especially the final style. This style, for any cultivator, is truly worth researching; even Immortal Emperors are no exceptions.”
The elder was tongue-tied once more. None of his thoughts could elude Li Qiye’s eyes.
Li Qiye continued after seeing his expression: “If necessary, your ancestor could bear trading the first four moves. The fifth is the limit while the sixth is something he absolutely doesn’t want to put up. Due to his mastery of the styles, he knows more than anyone just how priceless the last two are. The sixth is a sure-kill attack; the moment it comes out, it can determine the outcome of the battle. As for the seventh, it can reverse the tides of the universe. Because of this, he absolutely won’t trade the last two.”
Having said that, Li Qiye waited for the third elder to answer.
In the end, the elder acquiesced: “Young n.o.ble, your insight is beyond my sphere of understanding.”
This was not flattery since it came from the heart. Even as an elder of the pavilion, he knew less about the seven styles compared to an outsider like Li Qiye. At the same time, Li Qiye was undoubtedly correct. The Hallowed Ancestor gave permission for the first four styles. If Li Qiye insisted on the fifth, he must personally talk to the Hallowed Ancestor.
“If you wish for the fifth, our ancestor is willing to talk with you about it.” He honestly revealed the bottom line.
At this point, he nervously stared at the youth. He truly wished for a successful negotiation. After all, this would be considered a great merit for him.
“You should already know that I want all seven.” Li Qiye smiled.
The elder wryly smiled back: “I won’t hide it from you, Young n.o.ble. It is simply impossible for us to give you all seven, absolutely impossible. It might be bad news, but it is the truth. I am being sincere this time, so I won’t lie to you.”
Li Qiye said: “I know. The reason why this conversation is happening is because of your respectful att.i.tude.”
The elder continued: “Without talking about the last two styles, we can sincerely talk about other conditions that you might have.” The elder spoke with honesty and frankness.
Li Qiye didn’t respond right away. He quietly stared at the waves outside. The elder leisurely stood there without bothering him, waiting for him to make a decision.
After a while, Li Qiye looked back and slowly said: “I can replenish the Hallowed Ancestor’s life as well as not want the seven styles! But I do have one condition.”
The elder asked for confirmation: “No more seven styles?” All three in the room were surprised. They didn’t understand why he chose to give up on the seven styles.
Li Qiye seriously responded: “Yes. I can do without the seven styles.”
The elder was ecstatic and quickly asked: “Everything else is negotiable then. What do you want, Young n.o.ble?”
Li Qiye nonchalantly declared: “It’s very simple, I want to see the Prime Sea G.o.d!”
“Prime Sea G.o.d?” The elder thought he misheard and had to ask again: “You said you want to see the Prime Sea G.o.d?”
Li Qiye flatly and earnestly confirmed: “You heard correctly, that’s who I want to see.”
