Chapter 55 : Heavenly Cauldron (1)

Li Qi Ye’s Dao instruction and his own cultivation were going well in an orderly manner. Another month had quickly passed. This whole time Nan Huai Ren had never appeared, and Protector Mo had not showed up either.

During that time, Nan Huai Ren was an ambassador of another sect, so even with his lack of presence, Li Qi Ye was not surprised. However, as for Protector Mo, it was a bit outside of Li Qi Ye’s expectations.

“Oh, oh, oh, big brother! You stand tall and see far with penetrating insights, and you understand the grand Dao so well! You could teach any mysterious sacred technique!”

Seeing Li Qi Ye, Nan Huai Ren rubbed his palms together, and he smiled cheerfully.

Li Qi Ye glared at him, and he said:

“Since you already stay by my side to handle matters, stop tapping the horse’s butt. If you have gas, just hurry up and fart.”[1]

Nan Huai Ren’s face became red, but his expression was still natural. He was indeed a person that believes long sleeves would help one dance beautifully.[2] He smiled, and he said:

“This younger brother requests for older brother to give my cultivation some pointers.”

Li Qi Ye looked at Nan Huai Ren, then Protector Mo to the side, then calmly said:

“This was Protector Mo’s idea.”

Being figured out by Li Qi Ye, Protector Mo’s face became red. He couldn’t help but to forcefully smile, he said:

“I’m just interested in hearing your wise opinion.”

In reality, during the days of Li Qi Ye’s Dao instruction, Nan Huai Ren was outside of the sect. Protector Mo, on the other hand, was still here and inadvertently heard Li Qi Ye’s Dao instruction. He was startled because an elementary merit law like the Jade Spiral Merit Law, even his master wouldn’t be able to preach with such resonance with the grand Dao. His accidental hearing of Li Qi Ye’s preaching granted him great benefits.

So, this intrigued Protector Mo; right now, from his perspective, Li Qi Ye had a peerless perception regarding Dao instruction. He was afraid that there was no one that could compare to him in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. He wanted to be examined like Li Qi Ye as well, just like he did with the disciples at the Cleansing Jade Peak. However, in the end, he was a protector. Because he personally was a person of few words, he did not know how to deal with people; thus, he didn’t know how to ask Li Qi Ye.

This was why, after Nan Huai Ren’s return, he immediately asked Nan Huai Ren to come here for advice.

Nan Huai Ren quickly smoothed things over for his master, smiled “heh heh”, and he said:

“Master said that big brother’s cultivation is high, so your little brother will thick-facedly ask for your advice.”

Li Qi Ye didn’t look at Nan Huai Ren. He glared at Protector Mo, and he coldly said:

“We’re on the same side; if there is a matter, just be frank about it.”

Here, he didn’t have any other words. The rest was up for them to contemplate.

Protector Mo could see his future from these words. The moment they had joined Li Qi Ye, with one sentence to Yu He, Li Qi Ye had propelled their status. Right now, Li Qi Ye was saying this; even if Protector Mo was foolish, he would still be able to understand the implications behind them.

“What you both are practicing is the minor Emperor merit law ‘Violet Cloud’ right?”

Li Qi Ye looked at the master and disciple, as he said this.

“This is correct.”

Protector Mo repeatedly nodded his head, and he said:

“I presently have climbed to the Heaven’s Primal rank, but reaching the heaven’s will Primal God seems to be a bit too strenuous.”[3]

As a protector of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, Protector Mo’s aptitude, within the protectors, wasn’t the highest; however, he unendingly cultivated without break, so his cultivation had ascended to the Heaven’s Primal rank.

“A minor merit law, in the end, is still minor; in order to cultivate the heaven’s will Primal God, it is completely true that this isn’t such an easy matter.”

Heaven Primal rank was a boundary for cultivators. Once they have reached this rank, to take an extra step, it was harder than grabbing the sky. At this rank, it was not just dependent on one’s aptitude and talents, but it also depended on one’s merit law, Heavenly Magnificent Treasures, and etcetera…

Li Qi Ye spoke:

“Violet Cloud is a minor merit law originating from the main Emperor merit law ‘Violet Yang Ten Sun’ of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Reaching the Heaven’s Primal rank, if one also cultivates the Violet Yang Ten Sun, it would be akin to a dragon coming together with a tiger, water and fire combining strengths, and their cultivation will increase!”

“If the sect still has the Violet Yang Ten Sun Merit Law, would I be like this?”

Protector Mo dejectedly laughed, and he then gently sighed.

“Big brother, there is something you aren’t aware of; I heard from my great master that our Violet Yang Ten Sun Merit Law, in the sect, is flawed with incompletion and it is not completed to formidability. No one simply dared to just cultivate it. My great master switched to a different Virtuous Paragon merit law once he reached the Heaven’s Primal rank that year, just to reach a higher level.”

Nan Huai Ren busily said.
