chapter 6231: gratitude to the three immortals
coldbladeâs boat traveled with lightning speed across the ocean. the group enjoyed the breeze and appreciated coldbladeâs hospitality.
they witnessed amazing scenes along the way - whales leaping out of the water and flying for a bit, seagulls soaring swiftly and drilling into the ocean. they also saw jellyfish floating in the air and releasing bubbles capable of raising islands.
âthis is the broken world? there is so much life here.â princess chen was perplexed since old ruin was a land of death.
âbecause of the unprecedented eruption of worldly essence. however, they are unstable and can collapse overnight.â coldblade said.
âovernight...â li xian became startled.
âas long as the world source is still available, stability will come.â li qiye smiled.
âyou know about the world source?â she was surprised because even cultivators of her level rarely had access to this information.
âa little.â li qiye shrugged.
âwhatâs a world source?â the princess heard it from him before.
âhow should i put this...â coldblade mused before responding: âimagine it as the source of all powers.â
âso there is one here in old ruin?â orchidcore said: âits mighty power is enough to turn regular living beings into demons, itâs unimaginable indeed.â
âthis is just a tiny part of it.â coldblade said: âbut i have never made contact with one before. according to the legends, it is much more potent and there might be several.â
âthatâs incorrect. each world only has one world source, three immortals included.â li qiye interjected.
âonly one? and it is right here in old ruin?â li xian said.
the group exchanged glances.
âdoesnât that mean the supreme overlords will own all the earth veins?â mu hu said.
âthey keep them a secret once found.â princess chen added.
ânot always the case.â li qiye smiled.
âthere is a legend about how difficult it used to be for supreme overlords to appear. now, itâs a lot more common.â orchidcore said.
âit is due to the earth veins.â li qiye said: âand gratitude must be given to the three immortals.â
âgo on.â coldblade became curious, not finding it strange how a pseudo-emperor was asking a near-mortal questions.
âa world source is the beginning of all life. as long as there is a source, there is a world seal.â li qiye patiently said.
âa world seal?â princess chen repeated.
âa dao mystery capable of sealing the source.â li qiye said.
âfor what reason?â li xian asked.
âwhen sealed, cultivation becomes difficult. not to mention becoming an emperor, just becoming a noble is prohibitive.â li qiye said.
âunable to muster any strength.â orchidcore said.
âyes, unable to feel the mysteries of the world for cultivation.â li qiye said.
