to put it simply, the world knew desolate ancestor for her unbeatable ascendancy and creation of a new cultivation system.
they also mentioned her numerous battle feats such as killing three progenitors in strongrass, god eye, and bronze.
they sang tales of her dominance when defeating silver dragon mecha.
they spoke of how she opposed zhan sansheng for eras and swept through supreme heaven...
however, only a selected few knew of her agony behind the scenes and how she overcame it due to her love for the world. if she didnât love it dearly, she wouldnât have created a cultivation system or desolate frontier.
she persevered with optimism and never wavered, culminating in an immortal ascension.
âmy progenitor is an immortal.â jiang qingmei said with pride, not only because of her cultivation realm but also her tenacious dao heart. the latter was more worthy of pride.
before this, juniors such as herself respected the progenitor because she was an immortal. now, she understood just how much more special it was.
after a long while, she regained her wits and stared at li qiye who was relaxing in the pond. the liquid did not affect him; he looked like a fish that had just been released back to its natural habitat.
âgot a good look?â he asked while still closing his eyes, causing her to blush.
she looked away and said softly: âso what is this thing?â
âdo you see that indiscernible sliver of light?â he pointed.
âi do not.â she shook her head.
âiâm hungry.â li qiye said.
her mind returned and she said: âancestor, i will take care of it.â
she disappeared into the sect. after a while, she returned with a steaming grilled chicken. it pulsed with a wondrous light, clearly a special creature when alive.
li qiye tore out a drumstick and began eating.
âsince fate brought us together, i should grant you a fortune.â li qiye walked toward the tablet while eating.
âwell, what kind of fortune do you want?â he asked while staring at her.
she had no idea who he was when they first met. now, she knew and realized the weight of this question. this was a historical opportunity.
âbecoming an immortal is a personal journey.â she said softly.
ânot just the immortal stage, the return path toward longevity is also a personal journey.â li qiye said.
âright.â she smiled wryly.
âif a mortal wishes for riches and the gods send down a mountain of gold and silver, the mortal will still have to move it.â li qiye said: âthe gods wonât place them in prepared pouches.â
âyouâre right, ancestor.â she smiled beautifully.
âspeak, what is your wish?â li qiye said.
âi wish to train my dao heart.â she stared straight at his eyes.noÌv(el)b\\jnn
