Chapter 1042: The Mortal Monarch

Li Qiye continued this embroidery process for two days and three nights before finally doing a good job of sewing the laws together. Looking at the flashing totems in his hand, Li Qiye couldn’t help but chuckle. After struggling for so many years, an unknown era had disappeared without anyone knowing.

Even though Sikong Toutian was a carefree fella, he didn’t dare to do a sloppy job when it was a task given by Li Qiye. On the third day, he finally returned. However, he was obediently standing behind someone at this time.

The person entered Li Qiye’s abode and instantly stared at him from top to bottom carefully. It was more accurate to call this person an iron statue. Other than his head, the rest of his body was made out of an unknown material.

His body emitted a faint silver luster and a cold air found in metal. Even though there were all type of races in this world such as golems and demons, this iron man might be one of a kind.

He was not cast from a particular piece of metal. To be precise, his body was formed from the combination of many exquisite parts.

For example, Li Qiye’s Brave Tiger Legion was formed by pouring metal into the same mold. However, this iron man was not created by that process but rather assembled in a sophisticated process beyond imagination.

However, his head was clearly that of a normal person. Judging from his gray hair and beard, he was a man whose age was too old to be determined. Even though his eyes were muddled, there were flashing starry glimmers in their depths with wavy nebulas. Anyone who stared in his eyes would definitely be shocked for they would come to realize his terrifying power.

“Your Excellency…” After taking a good look, the iron man prostrated on the ground with great emotions: “Your Excellency, it really is you!” Excitement was all over his face.

Even though his iron body had turned cold, at this very second, he couldn’t control his emotions.

His actions frightened the soul out of Sikong Toutian. He was an obedient child before the iron man and didn’t even know where to put his hands.

However, this untouchable Mortal Ancestor in his mind was actually calling Li Qiye “Your Excellency”, so how could he not be scared out of his mind?

The iron man was the oldest ancestor in the Mortal King Palace of their Heaven’s Secret Valley. He was a supreme existence; many disciples never even had the chance to see him. But now, their valley’s ancestor actually prostrated before Li Qiye, leaving Sikong Toutian in complete astonishment.

Li Qiye propped the Mortal Monarch up and smiled: “I’m very happy to be able to see you.”

The Mortal Monarch stood up. His decrepit face revealed a touching smile. At this time, he gently waved his sleeve. Sikong Toutian didn’t say anything and quietly left.

“I didn’t think I would be able to meet Your Excellency again. I thought I would die of old age at the Mortal King Palace.” He smiled.

Li Qiye laughed in response: “With your advantages, as long as the valley has sufficient Blood Era Stones, you will be able to live for a long time. I didn’t want to disturb you in this generation. After all, it isn’t easy to seal you once more…”

“What are you saying, Your Excellency?” He quickly interjected: “My life was given to me by you. Without you, I would only be a pile of scrap iron in the darkness, trying to hold onto my last breath. If you didn’t defy the heavens to prolong my life, there would be no me of today or the Heaven’s Secret Valley.”

Very few people in the present times knew about an existence like the Mortal Monarch, and even fewer knew about a lineage like the valley.

A very long time ago, the monarch was a man made out of iron. During that period, he was broken into little tiny pieces. As he put it, a pile of scrap metal with feeble vitality. Later on, he met Li Qiye. Li Qiye spent countless efforts and finally saved his life and prolonged it.

He was not a human or a demon, not even any of the other races in this world. His origin traces back to a very archaic era. However, the monarch himself knew very little about his own era because he was exiled into the shadows during his youth and had always been sealed. It wasn’t until later when he met Li Qiye that he able to see the light of day!

As for that distant era, it had been annihilated long ago and no longer existed.

“No matter what, you have managed to pass down your craft.” Li Qiye patted his shoulder and smiled: “Your valley’s mechanical prowess can be considered the best in the nine worlds.”

The monarch shook his head and said: “Your Excellency is teasing me, it is only a minor trick, it’s not enough to get into your eyes.”

“No, I actually do need this skill of yours this time.” Li Qiye smiled: “I have an item. If I do it myself, I will need a very long time to finish, but time does not wait for me which is why I specifically called for you.”

With that, Li Qiye took out the old box and handed it to him. Inside were the scattered parts that were extremely delicate.

The monarch was instantly attracted like a master-level artist immersing himself in an unparalleled work of art.
