Emperor’s Domination

bility and wish to open a window.” 

“A sky window?” Li Qiye didn’t expect this.

“Yes, I must attempt to do so.” She said.

“Are you doing it for yourself or just reminding me?” He said with a smile.

“My cultivation is low yet my ambition is higher than the sky, I view you as a role model, Young Noble.” She said: “I have my own stance but do not wish to oppose you.”

“It’s hard to hate clever people like you.
Since you came to deliver this message to me, I won’t steal your limelight.
I’ll just watch from the sidelines then.” Li Qiye said.

“I truly appreciate it, Young Noble.” She bowed again.

“You’re rather bold, daring to come and speak to me despite being from Divine Alliance.” Li Qiye said.

“I am but an insect before you, this is only an attempt at self-preservation.” She said.

“That’s not an unreasonable ask.
I value talent so you may have a spot next to me.” Li Qiye smiled.

She was surprised to hear this and took a second to calm down.
She shook her head and respectfully said: “I am grateful for your generous consideration.
It’s not that I am a fool but I grew up in Divine Alliance.
The seniors showed me nothing but kindness and I do not dare to forget.
If I were to not pay them back, I will be no different from a beast.”

“Well said.
I will not make you leave Divine Alliance against your wish.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Thank you for empathizing with me, Young Noble.” She said.

“You are smart and know what should be done.” He said.

“I know my own limitation and just wish to protect my region, not daring to compete with the heaven.
I’m sure you will take it easy on me, Young Noble.” She responded.

“No need to flatter me first.” He said.

“I am speaking from the heart.
Otherwise, Brother Li would not be following you despite his prestigious background and talent.” She responded.

“I’ll take it easy on you as long you do not court death.” He smiled.

“I will keep our conversation today to heart.” She said respectfully.

“I hope that you will be successful with obtaining twelve dao fruits.” He added.

“I will try my best to not let you down, Young Noble.” She lowered her head and said softly: “Afterward, please teach me how to open the window.” 

“You already know what to do.” He smiled.

“I just hope that my results won’t be laugh-worthy.” She said humbly.

“It’s not overly difficult since you already know the process.
The problem is being able to endure it.
Just keep it simple, maintain your dao heart.
As long as it is still around, you can rebuild anything including total destruction.
That’s essentially the fundamental of cultivation.” He said.

“I appreciate your guidance, Young Noble.” She bowed again before leaving.

The others returned after her departure.

“Fellow Daoist Fantian is always so composed, I don’t think I can compete with her in the future.” Li Zhantian said sentimentally.

“No need to be unduly humble.” Li Qiye said: “You might have been too hasty at the start but slowly down in the future, everything is still possible as long as you are determined.”

“Thank you, Young Noble.” Zhitian was glad to hear this, thinking that he still had a shot of being competitive.
