âOh? What kind of true blood?â Li Qiye became interested.
âIâm not so sure.â The old man mused: âFrom several accounts, this true blood is too old to be traced, definitely from the age of the emperors. I believe it consists of the blood from several Blood Ancestors.â
Myriad Blood was the largest sect in the Divine Ghost Division. It was extremely powerful and consisted of ghosts and blood members. Only a few were humans, demons, and other racesâ¦
âNot good enough.â Li Qiye shook his head.
âFinding a better jar than that one in West King might be difficult.â The old servant added: âOnly Myriad Blood, or maybe Righteous Sect. They had some before but have used virtually all of it. As for Wild East, Iâm not sure.â
âWild East? Thereâs a possibility.â Li Qiye smiled.
âWild East Eight Kingdoms are definitely the oldest locations.â The old man added: âThere are no lineages in West King, no, all of Eight Desolaces, that are older than those found in Wild East. However, they donât deal with outsiders so we have limited knowledge about them. The most unfathomable one is Ancient Kingdom of Immortals. Its resources should be wondrous, thatâs where I would look, Young Master.â
âAncient Kingdom of Immortalsâ¦â The old man became startled: âI donât think thatâs a good choice, definitely not.â
A big shot like him still became alarmed after hearing about this kingdom.
Wild East was located to the south of West King. Some said it consisted of eight kingdoms but others disagreed. The latter stated that it was only a general title, there werenât actually eight kingdoms.
The only thing for certain was that this region was extremely old. It has been around since the epoch of the great emperors.
Alas, outsiders had limited knowledge about them, only that they were notoriously powerful.
For example, Worldly Immortal from the Ancient Kingdom of Immortals was a dreadful existence. In history, even dao lords chose to stay away.
He had never seen the legendary Worldly Immortal before but this didnât matter. All-things Dao Lord and Righteous Dao Lord still gave way before this great being. All-things was the most decorated dao lord of True Immortal Sect. As for Righteous, he was obviously the founder of Righteous Sect. Thatâs why he thought that even Li Qiye shouldnât provoke that kingdom.
The old servant only smiled since he had more information at his disposal.
âThere should be a better place.â Li Qiye chuckled.
âMay I ask where youâre thinking of?â The old man couldnât come up with a different place.
âA forbidden zone.â Li Qiye stared towards the horizon.
âLife Forbidden Zone!â Both the old men didnât expect this answer. [1]
âYes, that one.â Li Qiye had a look of rumination.
âI donât think thatâs possible because even dao lords have failed there.â The old man regained his wits and said.
His astonishment was understandable. Anyone else in Eight Desolaces would have reacted the same way.
Some dao lords have died in the forbidden zone before. It was a suicidal endeavor outside of very few masters.
âDao lords are dao lords, I am me.â Li Qiye simply answered.
The old man was shaken. He carefully thought about this phrase and realized his mistake of underestimating Li Qiye.
âMy apology for the needless words.â He bowed deeply towards Li Qiye.
âItâs fine.â Li Qiye waved his hand and said: âI will think about this since thereâs no rush. Iâll use the cauldron when the time is right.â
âI understand.â The old man replied: âI will bring the list of metals in Duality to see if you can use any.â
âThatâs fine.â Li Qiye said.
The old man had something else on his mind and stared at Li Qiye, albeit with hesitation.
âAnything else?â Li Qiye asked.
âYoung Master, do you want to go to Buddha Emperor Division? To Vajra Dynasty.â The old man eventually said.
âWhy? You have a suggestion?â Li Qiye said.
âItâs not something we can interfere or influence. Itâs just that according to the rules, you should still take a trip there. Itâs the will of the people.â The old man added.
âI havenât thought about this, itâs just a game, nothing more.â Li Qiye didnât think much of it.
The old man thought that this was of pivotal importance for any sect in the holy ground, the opposite of Li Qiye.
Alas, the guy was just playing around. This was a little frustrating.
âI will take my leave then.â He didnât dare to speak on this topic and bowed towards Li Qiye.
He also bowed towards the old servant and had to ask: âSenior, you have been missing in these recent yearsâ¦â
âI went to the border.â The old servant responded.
âSenior, did youâ¦â The old man knew the servantâs personality. This answer confirmed a few rumors.
âHe canât mess with the girl to the south.â Li Qiye answered instead.
These words detonated thunderously in the old manâs mind. His mind was shaken.
Girl to the south⦠He immediately thought about the mysteries and connected the dots.
He certainly still had questions about the whole thing. However, Li Qiyeâs comment carried unimaginable weight.
His complexion became pale. He took a deep breath and bowed one last time before being escorted out by the old servant.
âI have embarrassed you.â The old man bowed again, looking quite awkward after losing his cool earlier. The significance of the things behind this was too much for him to take.
His legs were trembling and couldnât move earlier. It was a good thing that the old servant helped him out.
âItâs not embarrassing. The height of the heaven is beyond your imagination. Being able to kneel before the young master is an honor unavailable to most.â The old servant said.
âThank you for your guidance, Senior.â The old man said. Even someone like the old servant still wanted to follow Li Qiye, let alone someone like him.
In fact, this meeting alone might be the luckiest event of his life. Others didnât have this privilege.
âDuality will be fine, at least.â The old servant said: âYouâre smart, unlike some others. They want to plan and scheme, unaware of the giant theyâre facing.â
âWhat do you mean, Senior?â The old man wasnât too sure.
âDonât worry about it, just watch the fun, you have done enough. The fools will be eradicated soon enough.â The old servant waved his hand.
âI see, changes will be coming.â The old man understood the implication right away.
1. I canât tell if this just means forbidden for life to enter, or itâs actually the name of a forbidden zone, meaning that there are more. Need more context for this one. Iâm leaning that there are multiple, otherwise they wouldnât add the life part since itâs redundant. Weâll see
