Chapter 1588: Beat Of The Grand Dao (1/2)

Li Qiye and the monarch strolled through the city because Matriarch Yu still needed time so they weren’t in a hurry.

“Young n.o.ble, where shall we go?” She asked while accompanying him everywhere.

“There’s nothing too special at Discover. Hmm, the twelve scales can be considered one. Okay, since we are here, let’s go so you can see it.” Li Qiye smiled and said.

“The twelve scales. I have heard of it but never in person. Rumor has it that the scales can judge someone’s potential. The higher the step, the greater the future.”

“It’s only a point of reference.” Li Qiye answered: “It’s not completely accurate. Of course, it is still very significant because each step is a test for someone’s learning capability, determination, and dao heart.”

“Life is always surprising so it’s not like success is guaranteed after walking up the steps. You can try if you want.” Li Qiye shook his head and smiled before glancing at her: “With your dao heart and talents, reaching the tenth step isn’t a problem. Eleven might be hard, no chance for the twelfth.”

The monarch didn’t find this surprising. She calmly smiled: “I’ll just be an idler in my own domain, no chance of competing against the heroes of the world and especially not the wise sages.”

She spoke as a matter of fact without arrogance or a hint of inferiority.

“You can do whatever, let’s go.” Li Qiye led the way.

Nevertheless, the monarch still became interested: “If you go up the scales, how many can you go? I think all twelve shouldn’t be a problem.”

Though she has never climbed it herself, many people have said that only supreme geniuses in history could reach the twelfth step.

Li Qiye smiled leisurely: “Just twelve? No, if I were to do it, I’ll reach the top.”

“The top?!” Her pretty eyes widened in response: “Well, I heard the twelve scales are under the restriction of the grand dao. Rumor has it that only an emperor with the Heaven’s Will that has broken all dao shackles can easily climb the twelve steps. Otherwise, even the strongest wouldn’t be able to. Even our Ancestor Gu Zun has only reached the twelfth.”

It wasn’t due to her lack of confidence in him. Keep in mind that their Ancestor Gu Zun was an exceedingly rare genius yet he only made it to the twelfth step.

“In a way, it has nothing to do with cultivation, just your perception, determination, and dao heart. If you are keen enough, you will be able to hear the note within the step and lessen the pressure. Of course, it’s fine if your perception is no good. With a stronger determination and an unyielding dao heart, you can still move forward.”

Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: “The note of the step attacks your mind, not your cultivation. This is the key. So for me, no need to understand it. Just my unchanging dao heart can let me climb without any resistance.”

“The dao heart.” She said softly. Ever since she followed him, he has mentioned the dao heart several times. As a top expert, she understood how important it was. However, he seemed to emphasize it more than anyone else.

“This is where I’m different from the others. You think I’m exaggerating and placing too much of an emphasis on the dao heart?” He noticed her demeanor.
