Chapter 1315: Hallowed Ancestor (2/2)
“Both positions of Immortal Emperor and sea god are meant for the young to compete, so it should be up to them. Your Hallowed Ancestor wouldn’t do something like eliminating the competitors for his own disciple.”
Ruyan added: “The Roaring Conch isn’t easy to mess with either. I heard they still have a living overseer. If the goddess wants the position, maybe they’ll be the ones to ambush her instead. I’m still surprised about your ancestor being alive, though.”
Li Qiye looked at the elder and said: “The conch is strong, but not to the level where your pavilion should be this wary. The one you are worried about has to be Meng Zhentian.”
Ruyan and Jianshi shuddered after hearing this. If Meng Zhentian was to become the Immortal Emperor early and pick one between the goddess and the prince then help them become a sea god, it would result in an unstoppable combination.
This would be a duo capable of sweeping through Heaven Spirit and the nine worlds. No other overlord would be able to stop them.
The two girls finally understood why the pavilion was willing to spend sea god’s weapons and merit laws to renew their ancestor’s life. They must make sure that the Seven Sea Goddess becomes the winner in this competition.
In order to do so, their strongest ancestor must come out and personally protect the goddess!
The elder took a deep breath and solemnly said: “If Young Noble Li is willing to help us, you can pick two items from our pavilion after the matter is done.”
“It looks like you are adding more to the table.” Li Qiye laughed in response.
The elder had no choice. These three figured out the essence of this issue too quickly. Without a doubt, they required Li Qiye’s assistance this time. It was better for them to decisively name the price in front of him.
The other ancestors of the pavilion had told him that unless the bottom line is crossed, they will be willing to agree to all of Li Qiye’s conditions.
The elder stared at him earnestly: “Young Noble Li, what do you think now? Our pavilion sincerely wants to work with you. If you still think that these conditions are not suitable, you can state your own demands.”
The elder put on a pitiful posture, letting Li Qiye do whatever he wanted. This was to say that Li Qiye could name whatever price he wanted. It was the pavilion displaying their sincerity in this deal for Li Qiye to see.
“Same as before, I’m not interested.” Li Qiye was unmoved and refused with a grin.
This attitude from Li Qiye was quite a headache for the elder. Anyone else would have already agreed to such favorable conditions, but Li Qiye was completely indifferent.
The elder composed himself once more and continued: “Young Noble Li, you can pick any treasure from our pavilion as long as the life renewal is successful. Moreover, the Hallowed Ancestor will be your dao protector and shield as you become the Immortal Emperor!”
The two girls were moved this time. The immortal throne was an incomparable temptation that no one could resist.
Claiming to protect a human for the throne was a bold and seemingly blustering statement. However, it was different for the Hallowed Ancestor. He had protected two sea gods before, so his strength was beyond doubt. Furthermore, he was experienced in this endeavor. With his protection, as long as the genius was strong enough, the possibility of them becoming the Immortal Emperor was quite high.
Li Qiye only chuckled at this new condition.
Jianshi, on the other hand, made a suggestion: “Elder, you might as well have your Seven Sea Goddess follow Young Noble. It would be a formidable alliance.”
Ruyan chimed in with a smile: “That’s not a bad idea, marrying the goddess to Young Noble. The descendant of an Immortal Emperor and a sea goddess will have matchless talents. Plus, you will become family, so it would be a matter of course for Young Noble to renew your ancestor’s life.”
“Err—” The elder didn’t respond right away. He took his time musing this idea. It really wasn’t a bad proposal at all.
A match between an Immortal Emperor and a sea goddess was perfect. More importantly, Li Qiye had an imperial bloodline. If he were to become an Immortal Emperor, this bloodline would become even more precious. Their offspring would bring about a golden age to the pavilion, and the bloodline of their descendants would undergo an unprecedented evolution.
1. Yan Shi means Golden Age, a pretty grand title. She became an unfathomable Immortal Emperor and chose the title “Yan Shi” because under her reign, the Nine Worlds entered the golden age of peace.
