chapter 5486: i want to be an ox
âsir, will i be fighting celestial court with it?â she took a deep breath and asked with a serious expression.
âno, i cannot wait that long. celestial court will not exist when you are ready.â li qiye shook his head.
this caused her to tremble because celestial court was an ancient existence. according to the legends, it had existed before the splitting of heaven and earth.
this was obviously an exaggeration. nonetheless, it shared the same sentiment felt by many cultivators. celestial court had withstood the test of time, surviving one war after another.
now, li qiye had absolute confidence in destroying it in the near future. anyone else would have been branded a fool for making this statement. of course, li qiye was an exception.
âsir, what do you wish for me to do?â she asked, aware of her fortune in both being under li qiyeâs tutelage and obtaining true bones.
âthink grander, donât be stuck with celestial court or this nonsense between the race and the people.â li qiye smiled.
âi was short-sighted.â she lowered her head and apologized.
âcultivation is a personal journey with a strong focus on the dao heart. you donât need merit laws, the only thing i can do is to guide the way.â li qiye said.
âand that is all i need, sir.â she said, not daring to be greedy.
âyou donât need to ask me what you should do, answer this question yourself during the journey.â li qiye said.
âwhat i should do.â she contemplated.
âyou wonât be able to know the answer right now. try again once you can wield true bones.â he nodded.
âi understand.â she said.
he raised his hand and changed the fabrics of reality, opening a boundless world for her.
âwalk the path of the dao while listening to your heart.â he advised.
she stared at the portal and thought that upon her return, this world would change drastically.
âwould we be able to meet again?â she asked.
âif you travel far enough, then yes, weâll meet again.â he said.
âi understand. thank you for giving me this opportunity, i will repay you with my life in the future.â she performed nine kowtows in reverence.
he had given her enough confidence to attempt the twelve-fruit method on top of granting her true bones. moreover, she had a clear direction of what to do right now as well.
after paying her respect, she leaped into the portal without any hesitation.
li qiye closed the portal and wanted to leave. however, he frowned and glanced at someone.
âyoung noble.â the person immediately got on his knees and kowtowed as well.
he was none other than ferocity who had followed li qiye previously.
âwhy are you following me?â li qiye asked.
âi have no family or home, a forever vagabond with no option. may i stay with you and toil like an ox?â ferocity was intelligent enough to know the great fortune of following li qiye.
others would be killed for this insolence but he had the pleasure of following li qiye for a brief time. perhaps he actually had a chance.
âi donât need an ox.â li qiye shook his head.
âand it wouldnât be your turn either, brat.â a massive snail approached the duo: âiâll be the ox!â
the snail tapped on its shell loudly and said: âyoung master, iâll carry you around.â
li qiye smiled, having far more patience for this snail than ferocity.
ferocity couldnât respond because the snail was none other than calamity dao lord. of course, he didnât know the history between these two back in cleansing incense.
âwhat have you learned?â li qiye shook his head disapprovingly.
âyoung master, i might not be the strongest but my techniques are still unique.â niu fen smiled wryly.
âso arrogant after learning the eighteen solutions.â li qiye chuckled.
âhey now, i have my own grand dao now, way better than the solutions.â niu fen protested.
âi suppose that sounds a bit better, you didnât waste all this time.â li qiye smiled.
âyoung master, iâm a dao lord, you know? youâre making it sound as if iâm a nobody.â niu fen said indignantly. after all, he was an apex dao lord with few equals in the upper continents.
li qiye stared at him in silence, causing him to shrink his head down and add: âof course, iâm just an insect compared to you, a firefly who canât compete with the bright moon.â
âyour shamelessness far exceeds your cultivation.â li qiye shook his head.
âof course.â niu fen smiled happily: âget on, young master, itâll be just like the past.â
âwhat do you want?â li qiye was in a good mood as well.
âwhat else but to follow you wherever you go.â niu fen said.
âfine, weâll be going to the immortal continent since iâll be following his path. you should focus on cultivation lest risk embarrassing yourself any further.â li qiye said.n-.ovelb1n
âto the immortal continent then!â niu fen became excited: âweâll crush celestial court and the old turtles in there!â
he reverted back to being niu fen from the nine worlds, no longer an apex cultivator of the six continents.
li qiye jumped on the shell and sat down.
âmay i accompany the two of you, young noble and senior?â ferocity got on his knees.
li qiye smiled and summoned a short-handled trident out of thin air. he gave it to ferocity and said: âletâs see what you can do with this.â
âi humbly accept the gift!â ferocity saw the weapon pulsing with primordial light and became startled. he didnât forget to kowtow and show his gratitude.
âletâs go.â li qiye patted niu fen.
âletâs go!â niu fen roared excitedly and disappeared into the horizon.
