Emperor’s Domination

down.

In the present, Buddha Supreme was nowhere to be found.
Righteous Supreme would have a hard time coming out.
As for the dao lord? He hasn’t been around for a long time now.

The stake was just as high this time.
Black Wood needed defenders capable of holding back Black Tides.

He glanced at Li Qiye.
Who else could it be but Li Qiye?

“Young Master, are you intending on going straight in?” He asked.

“Not necessarily, I’m not a savior who cares about the wellbeing of others.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“But you still wish to go there.” He said.

Few in the world knew what awaited in the depths of Black Tides, only that intruders seldomly returned alive.

Nonetheless, he believed that Li Qiye could absolutely do so.
But why did Li Qiye want to go there?

“Just going there to finish a trivial matter.” Li Qiye glanced at the horizon and said.

The old man thought that only Li Qiye would be able to say this in a nonchalant manner.
Even dao lords didn’t dare to do so.

“That place is so bizarre.” He recalled.

“You’ve been there before?” Li Qiye smiled.

“Not quite, making that claim would be an exaggeration.” He became sentimental: “I was arrogant back then despite achieving nothing.
I thought I was invincible and couldn’t help wanting to enter.”

He paused for a moment and memories resurfaced.
He swept through Eight Desolaces with his saber, completely dominating his peers.

Because of this, he felt confident enough to enter Black Tides.
He eventually found that it was endless and perilous.
Fortunately, he knew when to quit and managed to stay alive.

“It’s immensely vast.
I was like a headless fly going everywhere.
I didn’t know how far I got at all.” He said.

“It’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
Just the fact that you left that place alive is incredible enough.” Li Qiye replied.

“You’re too kind.” He forced a smile.

Anyone entering that place would find themselves insignificant, akin to a drop of water in an ocean.
Most would be lost right after.

To reach the deepest area was exceedingly difficult.
Only mighty dao lords could do so.
Of course, there was no guarantee of leaving it alive.

“So what is that thing?” He asked a question that has been on his mind for a long time.

“What did you see?” Li Qiye replied.

“Is it a ghost?” He boldly speculated.

Of course, “ghost” for cultivators was different from “ghost” in the mind of mortals.
The ghosts described by mortals were nothing more than remnant intents with grudges.

“That depends on your definition.” Li Qiye smirked and said: “Most would consider them ghosts.
As for me, I disagree and believe that they are things that shouldn’t exist.”

“I see.” He fell into rumination.

In the past, he got far enough to see unprecedented things that left an indelible impression on him.

“Go get ready.” Li Qiye commanded, then returned to his room.
