Emperor’s Domination

part, but the fact that youre giving me some face right now is also a type of fate.” The youth leisurely said.

“I suppose.” Li Qiye nodded and stared at the youth: “Its a waste that youre using your peerless talents on food all day long. The world will think less of you.”

“Because they dont know that Im actually saving them by doing so.” The youth freely said.

If a third person were to hear this, they would not buy the youths argument.

“You certainly have a special way of saving the world.” Li Qiye said.

“There are many methods and paths. My cultivation is too weak so I have to use a roundabout route. Theres nothing wrong with that.” The youth said.

“So humble. If youre weak, there are no experts in Three Immortals then.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“I cant compare myself strictly to the contemporary.” The youth admitted: “A monkey reigns supreme on a mountain without a tiger. Even the greatest progenitors eventually falter. My cultivation probably cant last that long.”

He sighed after saying this.

Li Qiye put down his cup and said: “The heart and mind have so much potential. A single thought can determine their fate along with their worlds.”

He paused for a bit and continued: “Being too brilliant might not be a good thing. The highest trees will face the strongest gales. The ones chosen were picked for a reason.”

“Youre right, Teacher. I hope that everything will be fine in Three Immortals since I cant do much for its inhabitants.” The youth smiled wryly.

“You put on a carefree act yet your mind is still worrying about others. Whether it be fishing in the ocean or cutting wood in a perilous land, your ears are still listening to the motions back in Three Immortals.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“I dont want to. People are selfish so if I had a choice, I would rather be by myself. Alas, I was born with too many restraints. As you have mentioned earlier, great power comes with heavier responsibility.”

Li Qiye nodded and didnt say anything else. A brief silence ensued.

“War is coming, are you ready?” He asked a while later.

The youth stopped working and pondered quietly before answering: “Teacher, what kind of enemies are coming?”

“Progenitors. The vanguards will have some weaklings but the real fighting forces will be at the progenitorial level.” Li Qiye looked at him.

“Well, then all I can do is fight.” The youth shook his head: “I cant run anyway even if I have the desire to do so. Behind me is my home, you would do the same, Teacher.”

“There will be time as long as the sky moat is there. It has its uses.” Li Qiye said.

“Im afraid the inevitable will come.” The youth looked worried.

“Hard to say at this level.” Li Qiye replied: “It might come or not then everything will be good. In that case, burn an incense stick and celebrate.”

“I understand. But if Three Immortals wont be the battlefield…” The youth had a serious expression.

“I will take action regardless.” Li Qiye said: “But just know that I will only participate in one sky-rending battle. I guarantee nothing else.”

“Three Immortals is lucky to have you here.” The youth nodded, albeit still nervous.

A “sky-rending battle” from Li Qiye must be a terrifying event. Maybe Three Immortals would be blown to pieces.

Unfortunately, no one could change the current momentum. He didnt have the strength to stop it.

“Im more excited about Uncrossable Expanse. Thats a better battlefield, far more interesting and stimulating.” Li Qiyes eyes became profound; his lips curled into a smirk.

The youth smiled wryly, knowing that “stimulating” probably meant destruction. Everyone would probably be scared out of their mind at that stage.

“I hope not, Three Immortals might not be able to withstand the impact.” The youth helplessly said.

“Dont worry, when it escalates to that point, the old geezers will make sure that the battlefield is restricted to the expanse. They have been protecting your world for so many years and dont wish to see it become the next battlefield, broken.” Li Qiye calmly said.

“I hope youre right.” The youth could only pray.
