Chapter 1984: Opening The Path (1/2)

After the Heaven Search faction left, the two monarchs from Jilin left as well.

“Our clan is completely on your side, Sacred Teacher. Just summon us whenever you need.” Jilin Immortal Monarch told Li Qiye while cupping his fist before leaving.

Li Qiye nodded quietly. This clan has helped him multiple times in the past, especially Night Monarch. Alas, the scene was still the same, but she was no longer there.

“Qi Gong will be going then, Sacred Teacher. I’ll offer my service again in the future.” Li Qiye said goodbye to the two monarchs from Divine Dragon Mountain as well.

Sunset Glow Fairy looked seriously at Li Qiye and said: “If you have time later, Sacred Teacher, please come to my grotto. I’ll be waiting.”

Li Qiye nodded and said softly: “Thank you for your help, fairy. I’ll definitely visit you in the future to gaze at the moon and discuss the dao.”

The fairy nodded back and cupped her fist before leaving.

“We’ll be going as well, Sacred Teacher. The winding future will still need you to preside over everything.” In the end, Immortal Emperor Can Long from Dragon Citadel left with his juniors.

“I’m sure my presence won’t make a difference as long as the emperors work together.” Li Qiye replied with a smile.

“You are the only one who can unite them, Sacred Teacher.” Can Long said.

“Perhaps.” Li Qiye also added: “I have destroyed Soaring Immortal.”

“I know.” Immortal Emperor Can Long paused for a moment before speaking slowly: “Asura neglected Soaring Immortal and Ren Xian debuting? It was decided from the start. Ren Xian himself knew that this day would come, albeit unwillingly.”

After Immortal Emperor Ren Xian arrived at the tenth world, people at Can Long’s level immediately realized Soaring Immortal’s fate.

“Bu Zhan will be leaving too.” Finally, this emperor also said goodbye.

“Well done in this battle. Your responsibility will be heavy in the future too.” Li Qiye smiled in response.

“You’re being too polite, Sacred Teacher. You have helped me many times back in the nine worlds and I have yet to repay you.” The emperor smiled back: “And as for the responsibility, this is our duty. I’m not the only one who has paid the price on this road. The wise sages before us have paid much more.” Immortal Emperor Bu Zhan also cupped his fist and left in a cool manner. He came alone and left alone, walking all by himself on this lonely world. No one could trace his whereabouts.

Many Immortal Emperors established their own lineages in the tenth world, such as Immortal Emperor Can Zhong. However, Bu Zhan preferred to be alone.

He didn’t even contact other Immortal Emperors and remained mysterious.

In the end, only Immortal Emperor Ming Du was left. He walked along with Li Qiye and eventually asked: “Teacher, is Necropolis doing well?”

“Yes. You know full well that even if the world turns into ashes, that place might come out just fine.” Li Qiye chuckled.

“True.” The emperor nodded and gazed into the distance: “I occasionally dream about Necropolis and ferrying people there.”

He came from Necropolis, a being that shouldn’t have been able to leave. However, Li Qiye asked the master of Ancestral Flow to let him go so that he could become an emperor.

This meant that he was different from everyone else, not belonging to any other race - neither human nor a ghost. However, back in Sacred Nether, the ghosts included him as an emperor of their race.

“Sentient beings will dream.” Li Qiye said: “A few things will always linger in the heart, impossible to be severed completely.”

“Yes.” The emperor sighed: “The dao of the ferry is to do so everywhere, but my heart still drifts away. The tenth world, ultimately, is different from the nine worlds.”
