Emperor’s Domination

niques…” She quickly became casual again.

“Im a bit tired, another day.” He closed his eyes and waved his sleeve.

He had given the command so she bowed again: “Please rest well, First Brother, Ill be back to see you later.”

She left saying this. Despite her playful nature, she was smart enough to know when to back off on top of being very attentive and considerate.

Li Qiye seemed to be sleeping, lost in meditation. He absorbed energy in this seemingly vast expanse not located in Longevity Valley or Hundred-flowers. Everything seemed to have disappeared.

His primordial tree was growing quite well, not to a sky-piercing level just yet but it was full of leaves now. The rustling of leaves would be everywhere with a breeze.

Of course, it could eventually reach the sky. A particular flower was growing on it now, a nameless type of a fair size. It didnt look special in any way at first, but upon closer inspection, one would see its stamen absorbing faint dao light. It was made out of the tiniest laws of the grand dao.

Nevertheless, there were so many of these laws. They were profound, just one alone encompassed many different types of dao. Just one could make someone spend an entire lifetime and still wouldnt be able to understand it completely.

The blooming process was only the beginning, part of him creating a new dao. This wont be the only grand dao so Li Qiye still had a long way to go before creating a new system.

The blooming flower contained a massive amount of primordial energy. All laws and dao seemed to be born in this place. Once it bloomed fully, this grand dao would ripe.

Li Qiye continued his breathing and became one with heaven and earth. No, it looked as if he was the one creating everything; he was the source of space and time and even the myriad realms.

Longevity Valley always enjoyed quiet and peace. The majority of its disciple loved alchemy so it didnt have a violent nature.

This was doubly true for Hundred-flowers. The girls here either went outside to learn more about the dao, or spent their time reading medicinal and alchemy texts…

Li Qiyes stay was a peaceful one. Though Fan Miaozhen often came to see him, she kept the perfect amount of propriety and didnt interrupt his meditation. She even ordered disciples to not come close.

Today, he finally returned from his mental pilgrimage and came out for a walk.

The female disciples here have accepted his presence, but some still smiled and blushed upon seeing him. The bold ones still gossiped among themselves.

There was no lack of curiosity about him. However, they couldnt find out anything before the valley lord returned.

Li Qiye didnt act like a stranger during his stroll, treating the place like his own courtyard.

Hundred-flowers, like the rest of the sect, had plenty of rare herbs and grasses. Some extremely precious ones were left growing among the crevices and gaps.

He was now in a deeper location with a lake, a very unique one. It was almost a hectare of space – one half was ice with a chilling energy while the other half was surging lava and smoke.

This was indeed a rare sight – a combination of yin and yang, ice and fire.

In the very center where the two affinities joined together was a spring.
