Emperor’s Domination

, that… that depends on the circumstances.” Du Wenrui smiled awkwardly.

“What are you talking about?” Li Qiye shook his head: “Okay, they are attracted to the power of the light so taming them is very simple. First, your light power has to be tempting enough. Next, break the shackles between the beast and the light power here. In other words, you just need to be strong enough to wake it up from its stupor here, no need to defeat it.”

The direct response from Li Qiye made it difficult for Du Wenrui to respond.

“So theres no other way?” One student asked.

”Not necessarily.” Du Wenrui elaborated: “Did you see the Sacred Directors lion? It originated from here too, very powerful but still left with him.”

The students exchanged glances. They have seen that beast and its power.

Eventually, they realized that they werent strong enough and released the boar. It was pointless to forcefully take it away from the garden since it would always want to run back here. Plus, it was too weak and had limited usefulness.

“Just keep trying since this is good training for actual combat even if you cant tame one.” Du Wenrui said.

The group agreed. Just beating one improved their confidence, no need to tame one. They happily rushed forward in order to find another beast. Li Qiye and Du Wenrui followed in the back.

“Ahem. Student Li, do you have a plan in coming here?” Du Wenrui asked.

“I thought you wanted me to come here, Dean. Im just following all your orders here so how can I have a plan of my own?” Li Qiye feigned innocence.

“Youre a supreme master, how can a villager such as myself order you?” Wenrui shook his head, looking helpless.

He knew full well that Li Qiye had a reason for coming to Sacred Mountain. Otherwise, he wouldnt have been able to force Li Qiye here.

It definitely wasnt because of the fruits nor the beasts since he gave the supreme fruits away without any hesitation.

“What kind of man is your progenitor in your opinion?” Li Qiye suddenly asked.

“Hmm…” Wenrui didnt expect this question. He let out an unnatural smile and said: “The progenitor is a historically great figure, his light illuminates and saves many beings…”

“But not your city.” Li Qiye interrupted.

Du Wenruis flow was gone. He paused for a moment before concluding: “Nobody is perfect, defects exist in all things.”

“I see.” Li Qiye gazed towards the end of Sacred Mountain and said flatly: “I am here to take a look over there, the source of your light power. Just a look, thats all.”

Du Wenrui became frightened for some reason even though Li Qiye said that he only wanted to take a look.

“Its not easy to get there. Those who enter will not want to leave. Those who actually manage to leave all die soon after, not wanting to talk about it.” Wenrui said softly.

“Im aware of the light power. To put it delicately, it is salvation and enlightenment. To be frank, it is brainwashing. The power of the light serves as shackles. It bewitches the dao heart. When the latter isnt firm enough to stop Desolate Saint, only death awaits the intruders.”

Wenrui remained silent. The illuminating light was certainly beneficial to the living beings but the thing behind it might not be as positive.

“Thats why I want to go take a look. Im certainly not a good person, but neither is your progenitor. Remember, this system has been accumulating power and resources for millions of years. It is extremely nutritious!”
