Chapter 6004: Lift It
âLift it.â Li Qiye patted the strange statue and smiled.
Sky Step was surprised to hear the comment and despite having questions, he still obeyed.
He lifted it tightly with both hands but it didnât move at all.
âActivate!â He took a deep breath and channeled all of his power. This didnât work either.
âImpossible!â He could have lifted a mountain with that much power, let alone this statue.
âUp you go!â He released his vitality, causing muscles and veins to bulge visibly on his face.
âI... I canât.â He gave up after a long struggle.
He took another look and didnât find anything special about this stone statue.
âIâll try.â Minisun became curious and held onto the statue: âUp!â
Sky Step was confident in Minisunâs success only to be proven wrong.
âThereâs no way!â Minisun became competitive and her eyes gleamed with light, releasing her vitality, fate palaces, and dao fruits.
âRumble!â Her imperial aura swept Sky Step off his feet so he had to crawl on the ground.
âNow!â She roared and the ground shook violently.
Her full power failed to move the statue. It seemed to be one with the earth so to lift it, she had to lift the entire world.
âWhat...â Sky Step couldnât believe his eyes. It was one thing for him to fail given his weak cultivation but a seven-fruit Grand Emperor?
âAre we talking about Immortals Slaughtered War?â Sky Step became curious since he had limited information on these legends.
âHeavenslay.â Minisun corrected.
âI see.â Sky Step had heard of it before from his master: âI was told the immortal had a disciple, right?â
âXian Chengtian.â Minisun uttered a name.
âXian Chengtian, disciple of an immortal.â Sky Step murmured.
This was a renowned cultivator during Dingtianâs era who was known to be an immortalâs disciple. His real name only came out later, potentially chosen by himself. [1]
âI heard he betrayed the immortal.â Sky Step whispered.
âWithout this betrayal, the immortalâs secrets wouldnât have been exposed, leaving them no choice but to leave Three Immortals permanently.â Minisun said.
âDo you know the reason behind the betrayal?â Sky Step asked.
âI donât know.â Minisun said, only aware of rumors.
Future generations held both curiosity and disdain for the betrayer. After being taught by the immortal, he was on the same level as the legendary Dingtian. [2]
Everyone during that era believed the disciple could compete against Dingtian. None expected the sudden betrayal resulting in the downfall of the immortal.
âHow regrettable. Dingtian would have lost for sure without Xian Chengtianâs treachery.â Minisun became emotional.
1. Xian = immortal, Chengtian = becomes the heaven â
2. Plurality isnât explicitly stated here when I say immortal, so Iâm using singular. But from the context, we know there are three immortals. There just isnât enough information yet for me to use three, because we donât know how many went down in this particular war, so Iâm sticking to singular in the narrative â
