Chapter 5930: The Original Pursuit
âHmm, indeed.â Li Qiye smiled.
She still didnât get any clue from the relaxing man this time.
âI heard Poye is dead now, have you received the same information?â She asked.
âAnd?â Li Qiye shrugged.
She became disappointed because she failed to read his expression. Although she had suspicions, pushing her luck was rather unwise.
âAre you just visiting places, Young Noble?â She changed the conversation.
âI should be asking you this, why are you walking in the mortal world?â Li Qiye smirked while staring at her.
âI wish to revisit the path Iâve taken and the road Iâve traveled since I might not be able to do so in the future.â She replied sincerely.
âSeeking a breakthrough?â He inquired.
âTo be honest with you, Young Noble, I havenât made up my mind yet. I might go to visit Old World or enter my final secluded session soon, so Iâm taking advantage of the opportunity.â She shook her head, flipping her ponytail freely again.
âAfter reaching a certain level, people always look back. It is not clinging to the past but rather saying goodbye to it, goodbye to the old self as well to begin a metamorphosis.â He said.
His words struck a chord in her heart as she said: âRight, itâs been so long.â
âAnd how does it feel to see them again?â He asked.
âYes, defeating everyone and seizing it.â He said.
She agreed because such an item was valuable enough to warrant the risk.
âSo when you stand at the apex and seek everlasting life, what are you willing to do?â He asked.
She had no response for this scenario.
âWould you refine the whole world if it can grant your wish?â He smiled.
She shuddered before blurting out: âI donât know.â
âLetâs say there is an ant nest right there and the item youâre looking for is underneath, will you dig up the ant nest to take it?â He pointed outside.
âYes.â She nodded.
âYouâre not strong enough right now to truly grasp the previous question. You are saying goodbye to the past and once youâre at the apex, you will say goodbye to the world again, it no longer has anything to do with you and is no different from an ant nest. Therefore, would you refine it to obtain everlasting life?â He elaborated.
She took a deep breath and calmed her dao heart, staring at him and asking: âWhat about you, Young Noble? Do you view the world as an ant nest at that point too?â
âI am just a mortal, I do not forget my original pursuit.â He smiled.
âJust a mortal... do not forget my origination pursuit.â She repeated softly before remarking: âCannot forget the path traveled then.â
âRemember or forget, itâs not that simple.â Li Qiye said: âPower makes everything else seem like dust in comparison. When you start forgetting the path traveled, you become a passerby to the world and that is the time to leave while keeping in mind the original pursuit.â
âThe right time to leave.â She mumbled.
