Chapter 1430: The Gates Secret (2/2)
“Hmph, not necessarily. Treefathers and sea G.o.ds have stood shoulder to shoulder with emperors throughout the generations. Moreover, treefathers return to the earth after death. Even emperors can’t do anything to them, so how can you say that they are inferior?!” Xiaoxiao was very unhappy with Li Qiye’s statement.
She was a treant and her Golden Isle had produced two treefathers, so she naturally found his words irritating.
Li Qiye couldn’t help but chuckle after seeing her dissatisfied look: “Little girl, there’s no need to be angry, I am simply stating the truth. Emperors have the Heaven’s Will — this isn’t something sea G.o.ds and treefathers can compare to. Even with the Trident and ancestral weapons, they can only keep the same pace as an emperor and do not have the ability to defeat them!”
She defiantly claimed: “Hmph, our treefathers aren’t weaker even without ancestral weapons.”
Each treefather had their own ancestral weapon. However, after their death, these ancestral weapons would crumble and return to the earth. Rumor has it that these weapons could borrow the supreme strength of the forefathers, allowing their master to become extremely powerful and capable of suppressing myriad realms.
Li Qiye shook his head: “You can’t argue against the truth. Without the Trident, there aren’t many sea G.o.ds that are at an emperor’s level. The Prime Sea G.o.d can be considered one of them. He was truly unfathomable. During his era, his fame even exceeded Immortal Emperor Mu Zhuo’s.”
Prime was the progenitor of the Seven Martial Pavilion. By the virtue of the seven styles, he fought all over the world without equals. After becoming a sea G.o.d, he deterred all the nine worlds.
For the sea demons, Prime was the strongest sea G.o.d of their race and was praised as a supreme overlord!
As for Immortal Emperor Mu Zhuo, future generations knew very little about him. Despite being an emperor, his tales were too mysterious and difficult to research. Some even said that the emperor had never performed any earth-shattering deeds his whole life!
The reason why he was often mentioned was because of Immortal Emperor Yan s.h.i.+ since the latter was the descendant of Immortal Emperor Mu Zhuo. The empress had Immortal Emperor Mu Zhuo’s bloodline coursing through her veins.
Ye Xiaoxiao found it difficult to refute because Li Qiye had been stating facts. Without a doubt, treefathers and sea G.o.ds wouldn’t be able to contend without their respective weapons.
However, there was no way of pa.s.sing on these artifacts to future generations, hence a common belief that these artifacts didn’t belong to them!
“Okay, we’ll go to the Crane Beak Peak now.” Li Qiye chuckled while looking at the dazed gate master.
The shaken gate master calmed down and quickly said: “This lowly one will lead the way for Young n.o.ble Li and Princess Ye.”
The Crane Beak Peak was a strange peak, but there were too many of them in the Undying Gate, so it didn’t seem out of place.
True to its name, it was long like a crane’s beak and arched into the clouds. There was a pavilion built near a cliff with a bottomless abyss. While inside, one could see the beautiful sceneries of this place.
It had been abandoned long ago by the Undying Gate. Even though the building was still here, there were weeds and gra.s.ses overgrowing everywhere. However, the gate master didn’t dare to be careless when Li Qiye was staying here, so he had ordered for disciples to clean it up.
When the group finally arrived, the peak was changed beyond recognition. The pavilion was cleaned completely and had proper arrangements.
After settling the two guests in, the gate master respectfully told Li Qiye: “Young n.o.ble Li, we have disciples stationed at the base of the peak. If you have any needs, just let them know.”
“No need, let them leave.”Li Qiye gently waved his hand.
The gate master obeyed without daring to say anything. In fact, he was all-too curious about why Li Qiye picked this particular peak. He didn’t believe that Li Qiye was only here to look at the sceneries.
