chapter 6289: not easy
âwhat is the origin of this legend?â monk zhu asked.
âunity nine lakes.â mu hu told the truth: âbut we donât know where the first one is.â
ânow this is something i know.â princess chen said: âdesolate frontier is built upon these main lakes, they are separated into thousands of rivers, the sources of life, not to mention being connected to the end of the earth vein in each domain.â
âthatâs what people say but the details elude us. there are nine lakes spread apart but a few ancestors say they are one, weâre just too ordinary to see the real picture.â mu hu answered honestly.
âbut what does this have to do with the thirteenth mountain?â the princess asked.
âbecause we only have eight lakes, the ninth is missing, or maybe the first.â mu hu shook his head.
âyour immortal hall has a source, maybe thatâs the last lake.â the princess said.
âperhaps, perhaps not. my master told me of the source as well while my grandmaster talked about how all eight lakes might have started from one, and then desolate frontier came from them. of course, this is just speculation again.â mu hu said.
âi thought desolate domain was created by desolate ancestor. donât these two stories conflict?â the princess said.
âno.â li qiye said: âthis place wasnât called desolate frontier before, it was rebuilt out of necessity for a larger momentum. the previous one didnât allow this level of prosperity and fortune.â
âwhat fortune are you referring to? the nine lakes?â mu hu asked for more details.
li qiye answered with a smile again.
âno one had seen this last lake before?â the princess asked.
âyoung noble, please let us know if you need anything, weâll be staying at the ridge.â mu hu bowed deeply and said.
li qiye waved and the youths left.
***
âthe young noble is still an ancestor, you will be in trouble for this.â princess chen told mu hu.
âwhat can i do? whoâs going to help me? the young noble doesnât want fanfare so should i sneak him into immortal peak? thatâs beyond my ability anyway.â mu hu had a bitter expression.
âwait for your master to come out?â orchidcore asked.
meanwhile, li qiye stood inside his elegant courtyard and gazed at desolate domain. he saw the whole thing including unity nine lakes.
âthe explosion sent this fortune down.â li qiye smiled: âthis girlâs dao heart was strong enough to withstand the purification and even refined it, truly extraordinary.â
âsince iâm here, i might as well go.â he became sentimental since this place was so familiar yet different.
it used to be an ancient dao system but gained something later on. however, no one had a clue and even if they did, they wouldnât have been able to do anything.
desolate ancestor was the exception, enduring this fortune and breaking through. this helped her in becoming the pioneer of three immortals.
the process was unimaginably painful and would have driven others crazy. there were other experts in her sect then but she alone endured.
with its help, she rebuilt the whole dao system and changed it to desolate frontier.
li qiye smiled and took one step forward, crossing through the numerous seals to reach imperial domain.
