Chapter 6270: Chapter 6295: Trials

the woman took a calming breath and contemplated everything carefully.

“i suppose nothing is guaranteed.” she said.

“one does not have the qualification to cultivate without a dao heart. the entry level stems from the original pursuit, something essential.” li qiye said: “i’m aware you are feeling a sense of injustice from jiang ba’s death. however, this was his pursuit and comprehension of the dao, he was more than happy to die for this cause, and you are far from his level.”

“ancestor jiang spoke how a firm dao heart can break through, i still don’t understand his failure.” she uttered coldly.

“which is why you are doubting the dao heart.” li qiye smiled: “cultivators become confident eventually, believing they are the best. if others became immortals, then others got lucky. have you seen their arduous process and how they were prepared to die? do you underestimate the dao heart belonging to your progenitor, zhan sansheng, and the three immortals? don’t be a fool with a narrow view. perhaps you should ask your progenitor how she found success.”

“how did she do it in your opinion?” she answered with a question.

“details are elusive but right here on where we stand, she experienced near-death trials countless times, one step away from facing demise.” he said while gazing at the horizon.

“how do you know this?!” she blurted.

“her screams once echoed here, a testament to years of agony.” he said.

she had no response this time and sat in a daze. after a long while, she said softly: “yes, ancestor jiang spoke of our progenitor’s numerous trials and the misery accompanied.”

li qiye paused briefly before asking: “tell me about her past.”

“you don’t know?” she stared strangely at him.

“how many does?” he smiled.

“but you know about her trials.” she said.

“the start of the conflict, but this was not the end of your progenitor’s journey.” li qiye said.

“yes, she still had one strand of soul left. her soul condensed again and through perilous attempts, she rose again to become a true emperor once more.” she said.

“easier said than done, starting over with just one strand of soul.” li qiye nodded.

“she never stopped progressing and became a progenitor next.” she paused here.

“more suffering awaited.” li qiye said.

“yes, troubles and disasters never stopped finding her. a friend with the title of empress wanted to prove her dao. this led to hidden masters desiring her fortune appearing for an ambush. the progenitor served as a dao protector, fighting against three progenitors. her dao shattered again during the shocking battle.” she went on.

“this was why she killed god eye, bronze, and strong-grass later.” li qiye sighed.

“yes.” she nodded.

“still only the beginning, nothing compared to her trials.” li qiye said.

“what were these trials?” she couldn’t help but ask.

“jiang ba didn’t tell you the details?” li qiye asked.

she shook her head.

“tell me more about her.” li qiye waved his hand and said.

she didn’t continue right away and stared at the tablet again. recalling her progenitor’s past made her gain trust in the dao heart. the hardship she had experienced was nothing compared to the progenitor’s.
