Emperor’s Domination

ools are thinking of though, no artifacts or treasures.” Li Qiye replied.

“Mmm…” Suoweng smiled wryly since he shared the same thought as “those fools”.

Li Qiye stared out the window.
He didn’t need to think about what the emperor left behind since he would find out soon enough.

However, since so much time had passed, he nearly forgot about some people and things in the past.
They were resurfacing right now.

“Oh, Young Master, which peak do you wish to enter?” Suoweng regained his wits and smiled.

He naturally wanted Li Qiye to join South Conch but asking directly would be awkward.

Other disciples would love to join South Conch.
They would be too excited to sleep after finding out the good news since an entry meant a bright future.

Alas, Suoweng thought that it would be his greatest honor to have Li Qiye join his peak.

“I’ll be staying here.” Li Qiye waved his hand: “All the same to me, no need to move again, too troublesome.”

“Very well.” Suoweng was slightly disappointed but didn’t dare to press the issue.

“Divine Black is tiny, it’s really all the same wherever I stay.” Li Qiye looked at the sect master and said: “Plus, if I were to go to your peak, I’m afraid you won’t be able to eat and sleep well.”

“Please don’t say that, Young Master.
I would be ecstatic to have you there.” Suoweng immediately replied. 

“Is that so? Will you be ecstatic when I bring that divine sword away?” Li Qiye had a smile that wasn’t a smile on his face.

“…” Suoweng became speechless, not knowing how to respond for a while.

“Excuse my stupor, if you really wish to take that sword, go for it.
It doesn’t belong to me anyway, it belongs to the sect and you’re a disciple here.” He regained his wits and said.

Of course, he would be lying if he were to say that it didn’t hurt him.
After all, it was the sect’s strongest weapon.

Alas, there was nothing he could do because Li Qiye had the sword seal after climbing up the steps.

He had fused with it, meaning that he had total control over the sword.
The seal allowed him to bypass any cultivation limitation.
Thus, he could still use it despite being an Iron Skin cultivator.

“See, you won’t be able to sleep well for a long time.” Li Qiye laughed and didn’t express his intent on taking the sword.

“Young Master, the truth is that I truly want to control that sword.
However, South Conch Forefather left it behind and didn’t state who is allowed to use it.
Thus, we should leave it up to fate.” Suoweng admitted with an awkward expression.

“How far have you gotten?” Li Qiye asked.

“I’ve been trying after reaching the sacred level but it is far stronger than an ordinary dao lord weapon.
With my current abilities, I can only release one slash.
I won’t have the strength to even hold it afterward.” Suoweng smiled wryly.

It was considered a patrimony weapon, far stronger than an ordinary dao lord weapon.

The latter was under the classification of high-level heaven.
Those at the myriad-form real could use them.

1.
Li Qiye addressed the emperor using she/her a bit later.
Changing to she/her instead of the emperor.

2.
The duck’s egg buyer thing, I don’t know.
I need more context to understand this title unless it is just a name, Mai Yadan.
But no one would have a name like this

3.
The author uses a he/him pronoun in the narrative while Li Qiye is using she/her.
The he/him here can be gender neutral, although mostly male.
I saw the he in the narrative first and had to change the first part.
Then Li Qiye used she/her and I had to change it to female.
Now, the narrative is using he/him and I don’t know which is right.
Keeping it as female for now
