Chapter 2109: An Even Greater Height (2/2)
As they delved deeper inside, there were more branches coming out of the mud all the way to the sky. They twisted and turned, resembling a ma.s.sive briar blocking the way. The two beasts felt quite down because the branches have lost their divinity or they would still be very precious.
Finally, they reached a precipice made out of branches. There seemed to be a nest down below.
“The thing you’re looking for is down there. Good luck.” Li Qiye pointed over yonder.
They looked forward and only saw the fog. Perhaps there was an endless world looming below with numerous branches.
“I can feel its breath.” The dragon focused his gaze and became serious.
“Right, just as I’ve remembered.” The tiger arched its chest, seemingly becoming several thousand years younger.
“I have carried out my promise taking you two here.” Li Qiye told the two.
The two bowed towards him and said: “Your Excellency, you are a great benefactor to our races, we’ll form a shrine wors.h.i.+pping you in the future.”
“Go now.” Li Qiye chuckled and left.
The two glanced at each other afterward. The tiger asked: “Old Dragon, are you ready?”
“Million years of searching just for today, let’s go.” The normally elegant dragon was rather fierce this time around and turned into a dragon to jump into the abyss.
“I’m coming!” The tiger didn’t want to fall behind and roared, revealing its true form and jumped into the world below with the dragon.

Meanwhile, Li Qiye was heading for a different place, even farther inside. He climbed up the sky and reached a gigantic planet above. There was nothing here since no creature could survive in this place.
“Activate!” After a brief survey, Li Qiye shouted and created the dao and laws.
The planet creaked heavily and split apart, allowing him to enter inside. It had been blessed before by an apex existence of his epoch so it was impregnable.
A jade pond was inside with surging liquid. This liquid serum was unique, pure with a tinge of gold.
“Using the momentum to bring back the soul for a body creation...” Li Qiye said.
He then took out the yellow cloth and the figure appeared again: “Looks like your father predicted your fate so he left behind this for you.”
The girl was silent for a bit before speaking: “Just put me in the pond.”
He smiled and placed the cloth inside. Mists started coming out as it sank to the bottom; perhaps these strands of vapor were her soul being taken out of the cloth.
The figure became increasingly smaller as more mist came out.
