âcrack.â li qiye raised his finger, causing the tower to disassemble again.
they came together to form a passage leading upward, just high enough to reach the heaven above - around the height of a second floor.
while she stood there in a daze, he had already walked up and disappeared. she thought anyone would think about dominating three immortals with this artifact.
this gave its owner the means to fight against supreme overlords. alas, it was being used as steps to be stepped on.
nevertheless, she climbed up, never expecting to have this privilege one day. it was simple, no different from mortal steps.
after making it to the next floor, she found they were standing on a peak. stars were around them like embedded gems.
there was no end to this space but it also felt so close. when she looked toward the distance, she saw many mountain ranges.
one had a peak piercing space itself. another looked like a volcano with rising lava. one more was a glacier block, releasing terrifying gales.... they seemed inhabited by beasts, hence the occasional roars capable of shattering stars.
sure enough, this was a separate peak from anything else. she gazed at the stars and spotted the differences between this dimension and the one above star ocean.
this peak looked proud and unique as if it was the greatest in history. this feeling was unforgettable, akin to standing at the highest point possible.
âiâm on the thirteenth peak.â she murmured. the hiding spot was in immortal hall, hence the impossibility of reaching it.
it required being able to enter the palace on top of controlling desolate tower. their progenitor certainly wanted to hide it.
the two walked up more and only saw a small pond fit for children to play in. was the great peak solely created for this purpose?
of course, it was wonderful to be able to swim and touch the stars at the same time. this experience was reserved for immortals such as desolate ancestor.
âonly this?â she expected a treasury or immortal laws.
âoh? looking down on it?â li qiye smiled.
