Chapter 1714: Seeing The World Tree Again (1/2)
“The nine treasures and nine scriptures are much older than any epoch. Moreover, they have never been destroyed before.” Magu quietly added this time.
Li Qiye chuckled and said: “You’re right, but not completely. The former statement is true but we don’t know whether they have been destroyed or not. It’s too hard to tell because even if they were destroyed, they would appear with another form.”
He paused for a moment and went on: “Say, this Void Gate right here, it had created a world. Maybe this world will be destroyed later due to many reasons but the gate will still exist, maybe in a different form several epochs later. At that point, maybe people will call it the Immortal Gate or something else instead.”
“The absolute beginning creates the nine words which give birth to the nine treasures which lead to the nine scriptures.” South Emperor stated: “As long as the nine words exist, so will the treasures and scriptures. Time and the world might change but the overarching existence won’t.”
“Indeed.” Li Qiye nodded: “This is the reason why the nine treasures and nine scriptures are so tempting. It is not about their innate power and profundity, granting its master certain achievements but because it is an eternal part of the heaven and earth.”
The group gained a deeper understanding regarding these treasures after listening to Li Qiye and became more eager to see them.
“The nine scriptures aren’t necessarily the strongest merit laws in the world. One can even say that in terms of destructive potential, they are weaker than many other arts but they have a unique charm.” Li Qiye finished.
Along the way, the group was in awe of the beauty of this place. If one could create a sect in this location, their descendants would surely flourish.
“Can we establish lineages here?” South Emperor wondered.
“Of course.” Li Qiye smiled: “This is an unexplored world that needs the myriad races from the nine world to excavate. The riches here are for everyone but they must follow the rules. As long as it is permitted, anything is possible.”
“Looks like our Mysterious Bamboo Mountain will need a branch here.” South Emperor became tempted.
The G.o.dfiend and Old Xian shared this sentiment as well. If their sect could start a branch here, it would bring about unlimited potential.
Of course, Li Qiye allowed for this since the world required the sects to populate it. With the place flouris.h.i.+ng, the nine worlds will have more hope in the future and enough power to fight the Ancient Ming.
In the end, they made it to the source of this world’s power. It was boundless like s.p.a.ce. The entire location was being hidden under a great tree.
Li Qiye couldn’t be more familiar with it. It was the World Tree. While looking up at it, everyone felt so tiny. It was blotting out the entire area with its unfathomable height. Not to mention a person, even a star paled in comparison. Just one leaf alone could uphold a star.
The stars around it decorated the tree like beautiful diamonds. The existence of the tree s.h.i.+elded the area, not allowing anyone to step inside the source of power.
Li Qiye smiled and decided to experiment by activating his four physiques. His power erupted as he took a step forward, wis.h.i.+ng to infiltrate the area.
“Boom!” But even under the state of his four physiques in action, he still couldn’t get in. An endless power blew him flying for more than one thousand miles before he could stabilize.
The group was astounded by this scene. South Emperor blurted: “The power here is actually this strong?”
He wasn’t completely convinced. Thus, he roared and channeled his energy. An explosive forced aimed straight for the World Tree.
