Emperor’s Domination

now their merit laws so perfectly?

Alas, he didnt know that Li Qiye was the most knowledgeable in the world when it came to his forefathers grand dao. He didnt need to look at the merit laws of Mountguard. Just by looking at the foundation of the sect, he could derive every single merit law thanks to his own knowledge of the myriad dao.

“Thank you for teaching me, Ancestor, I will not let you down.” He kowtowed after calming down to the sleeping man.

He then respectfully performed a departure courtesy, not daring to make a sound lest he disturbs Li Qiye.

The sky and the earth turned upside down for Mountguard after Li Qiyes arrival. The elders and disciples didnt become experts in just one night or anything, just the dense energy found from top to bottom here.

Everyone suddenly fell in love with training. Normally, they put in 80% effort but now, they didnt hold anything back.

Declination left them demoralized in the past, resulting in training in a lackadaisical manner. It has been a long time since they had a real expert or a genius capable of boosting their morale.

Normally, the strongest member of the sect stopped at the True God realm. Few could actually go on to become Ascenders.

Just think about it, how could an actual good teacher come out from a sect like this? How could anyone motivate the student body?

Thats why many disciples here became satisfied with just becoming a True God. This was the same for the elders too.

They thought that even if they tried for a lifetime, they wouldnt be able to go beyond this point. Becoming Ascenders and Eternals remained a pipe dream.

This permeating pessimism made the atmosphere of Mountguard stagnate compared to a real power. This all changed with Li Qiyes arrival.

Since they had such a powerful ancestor as their backing now, the elders, protectors, and hall leaders found hope for revitalization.

The stimulated foundation allowed easier cultivation. The emergence of old relics and runes from the old sages gave everyone a good opportunity. Thus, everyone in the sect tried harder, aware that nothing like this would ever happen again. There was a sense of urgency and a need to rise up to the occasion.

Moreover, they knew that if they didnt put in the effort, they wouldnt be able to potentially earn Li Qiyes guidance either.

The upper echelon, due to their age, trained far harder compared to the normal cultivators. They didnt want to stagnate at their current level forever without Li Qiyes guidance.

On the other hand, the young generation wasnt doing a bad job. Jiahui and Zhiting had a positive impact on their motivation.

In the past, numerous disciples were above them in terms of cultivation. Jiahui was especially worse.

Alas, Jiahuis cultivation soared recently and surpassed her peers. However, she didnt become complacent at all and maintained the same work ethic.

Her peers werent willing to eat her dust forever so they started trying harder as well.
