Chapter 1902: A Gripping Treasure (1/2)

“Fellow Daoist Li is indeed above us.” Jin Ge said slowly while staring at Li Qiye: “Your dao heart is not just as hard as steel; you can freely use it however you want. A single thought to turn into a Buddha or a devil. It has nothing to do with cultivation any longer. With your dao heart, there is no fear of not becoming an Immortal Monarch, surely capable of reaching twelve wills. Unfortunately, I have lost my first chance or I wouldn’t mind meeting you again at the apex, to see which of us is better then!”

He was full of regrets at this point. The discerning fella understood Li Qiye’s worth. At the same time, he was still fierce enough. Despite knowing his inferiority, he still wanted to compete without any fear. This was the reason why he was the top candidate to become a Grand Emperor!

Jin Ge shocked the crowd with that statement. He was considered the greatest genius with few rivals in both cultivation and innate talents.

But now, he dared to claim that Li Qiye was capable of becoming a twelve-will Immortal Monarch. This was an acceptance of Li Qiye’s status.

Remember that in the contemporary, the hundred races only have one emperor with twelve wills, Immortal Monarch Yi Ye.

If Li Qiye were to reach this level, it would completely change the current landscape. The hundred races would have two top emperors then, quite a shocking development.

“Fiercest will be the first human with twelve wills?” The humans here felt their blood boiling.

Immortal Monarch Yi Ye was ultimately a half-human, half-charming spirit. In fact, rumor has it that his human bloodline is very faint. Because of this, on a stricter level, he wasn’t counted as an Immortal Monarch of the human race. It was just that many humans preferred to view him as such to elevate their own race.

Li Qiye only smiled and didn’t reply to Jin Ge’s evaluation.

“Fellow Daoist Li has won this match completely. Brother Jin Ge, do you think we should continue? Personally, I think conceding is the right choice now.” Baili shook his head and said.

Previously, Baili and Jin Ge were quite evenly-matched in their bet with three wins each. The gap between them in regards to dao heart and knowledge was minuscule.

Their cultivation was one thing but their origin, foundation, and knowledge were evenly matched. They were indeed worthy rivals.

But now, they were instantly crushed by Li Qiye. Even if they had an advantage in cultivation, there was no way for them to beat him in this shrine.

Because of this, Baili frankly accepted his defeat. It wasn’t shameful at all in his eyes. The guy had earned his victory.

“Fellow Daoist Li is at the next level for his dao heart. One would only continue the bet with him here out of ignorance and baseless confidence.” Jin Ge replied: “No need to continue, I accept my loss.”

Their straightforward and graceful acceptance of defeat was well-received by the crowd.

Li Qiye smiled and said: “Not bad. Very well, we’ll end this here then.”

In fact, he quite enjoyed both Baili and Jin Ge. Enemies or not, they were enjoyable to deal with.

“What a shame about these treasures, such a waste of heavenly gifts.” Qin Baili looked at the divine crest and imperial gauntlet.

The two returned these treasures back to their original position.

They weren’t the only ones who had this thought. Many people outside the shrine felt the same way, that it would be so nice to bring these treasures to the outside world. If it was possible, then a great character would instantly teleport the shrine back to his own treasury.

Unfortunately, no one had ever been able to do it before.

“That statement is a bit too strong for this kind of treasures.” Li Qiye said with a tinge of playfulness.

“Fellow Daoist Li, you mean there are other things even more precious here?” Baili was shocked.

“Not just more precious. There is another thing here that can easily be considered the shrine’s defining artifact.” Li Qiye said flatly.
