Chapter 898: Heavenhoof Ravine’s Plan
After giving orders to the group, Li Qiye and Ming Yexue went back to the master mansion in the city. They stood before the painting at the end of the hall. Ming Yexue had a transcendent and ancient aura. Her whole body was radiant as if she had become a true goddess.
“How did it feel?” Li Qiye looked at the painting and asked.
With unrivaled grace, Ming Yexue gently nodded in her immortal nature: “I was the heavenly dao in accordance with nature. Before I knew it, I became the ruler of a grand world, but unfortunately, it didn’t stay that way.”
Ming Yexue managed to break through and could directly reach the origin. However, Ye Qingcheng’s sudden mobilization of the city’s power stopped her enlightenment.
Li Qiye smiled and said: “Very good, even Immortal Emperor Bi Shi couldn’t do so back then. You will definitely become the supreme ruler of the beastworld.”
Ming Yexue slightly tilted her head and asked: “You cultivated me for millions of years, was it for you or for me?”
Li Qiye smiled in response to this inquiry: “What do you think? I won’t deny it if you think that I was being selfish and it was all for me. However, would you rather be a stone for all of eternity, or would you rather become a supreme ruler?”
Ming Yexue contemplated this issue. She became privy to more information after going inside.
“This is fate, I only expedited the process.” Li Qiye smiled: “In the end, whichever path you take is still up to you. Nothing is more important than being true to your heart — this is as true for you as for any other cultivator! For example, why did your Immortal Emperor Bi Shi fail? It is because this was not his true goal! But you can be successful because this is your aspiration!”
“To tread with caution for eternal moons, to calculate across the ages, don’t you think you are burdened with responsibilities?” Ming Yexue sighed and recalled the past when he brought her around the nine worlds to strengthen her. The world would never be able to imagine the experiences.
“This is my true desire and my fate as well as my final destination.” Li Qiye chuckled: “Those below the high heavens… how many have actually been able to jump out of this restraint? How many would be able to surpass it?” He gently stroked her hair and said: “You were born here, so you should stay at this place. It has been a very long time and the beastworld needs a master. This is not a desolate land, it is a great world with many mysterious locations. In the future, you will lead the beastworld to a brighter era.”
“Immortal Emperor is not the only way. In the future, you will come to learn that this world is much bigger than you can imagine. At the apex, there will be a scene unavailable to the rest of the world. At that point, you will naturally understand that invincibility is not the end but merely the beginning.” Li Qiye spoke with a rare tender voice.
“I understand.” Ming Yexue nodded. She was resolute at this moment as she spoke: “I will keep treading on until the very end.”
“Go, leave the troubles outside to me, there’s no need for you to worry about them. Remember this, follow your heart. The grand dao’s vastness is the same as your heart’s expanse.”
It was rare to see the overbearing Li Qiye in such a gentle state!
Ming Yexue nodded one more time while looking at the painting. She stepped towards it and turned around to softly speak: “Young Noble, thank you for always being my friend all this time. Without you, I wouldn’t be here today.”
“No, I should be thanking you for keeping me company for so long. Go.” Li Qiye smiled and nodded in response.
Ming Yexue eventually stepped into the painting and disappeared in an instant into the endless world within.
After a long time, Li Qiye finally looked away with a tinge of emotion in his heart. This was the feeling of seeing a daughter growing up and leaving.
Li Qiye noticed the many golems in the hall and insipidly said: “After millions of years, I will give your beastworld a future. It is up to all of you to assist her and see how far you can go together. Do not let me down.”
In a corner of the hall, the Guard Commander came and prostrated before Li Qiye: “Your Excellency, please don’t worry. Miss Ming is our hope. If she succeeds, she will be our master. We will definitely do our best to support her in the future.”
Li Qiye slowly exclaimed: “Good, the road ahead is still very long. All of you need to have the determination to fight till the end!”
“Yes, our beastworld will enter a new era. We will definitely not waste your millions of years of effort.” The Guard Commander solemnly promised.
