Chapter 6321: Become Evil
âLooks like becoming an immortal is out of the picture for someone with my crappy personality. Hehe, at least the bull and Xian Chengtian canât get it either. Weâre down to Lord of Life and Death, Li Xingchen, and that Lord of Calamities.â Black Witch Monarch laughed.
âPerhaps not.â Li Qiye said.
âWhy is that?â The monarch asked.
âLord of Calamitiesâ root isnât himself since the tribulations come elsewhere. He can endure them but his tribulation comes later. If he canât finish the current ones, how will he surpass his own in the future? There is a long way to go.â Li Qiye said.
âIt sounds like Li Xingchenâs unchanging path wonât work either.â The monarch said.
âThe stillness of time allows for numerous opportunities in this world and sure, he did well. However, it is a dual-edged blade with many limitations. He must let it go to surpass it.â Li Qiye said.
âHah, so his problem is the same as mine. Our roots are what make us today.â The monarch said.
âYes, and you must abandon it to reach a greater height.â Li Qiye said.
âIs that why you relinquish your everlasting life and indestructibility too?â The monarch asked.
âWho told you this?â Li Qiye smiled.
âI guessed.â The monarch shrugged: âZhan Sansheng thought about burning the tree and used numerous methods. However, he found that the primordial tree couldnât be burned, the same for your root.â
âThe nine worlds.â Li Qiye smiled.
âYes, he attempted to reverse time and destroy your world and in turn, destroy you.â The monarch said.
âItâs an easy idea for the villainous heaven to do.â Li Qiye smiled.
âIt wasnât doable, so I thought about something else. You could have transferred it to this world, so you yourself arenât indestructible anymore.â The monarch stroked his chin.
âDesire is an uncontrollable flame, the reason for Fiendish Ground and Evil Transformationâs existence.â Li Qiye said.
âGeniuses are always arrogant.â The monarch laughed.
âYouâre arrogant despite not being a genius, always spewing crap about Lankavatara Temple.â Li Qiye said.
âYoung Noble, I donât have any ill wills toward them. Itâs just that those bald donkeys considered my root to be evil and tried to suppress me.â The monarch said.
âTheyâre not completely wrong.â Li Qiye said with a smile.
âHaha, it wasnât any of their business if I became a devil.â The monarch said: âIf I were truly evil, I would have visited their temple long ago.â
âItâs all in the past. At the very least, you are doing a great job with your dao heart.â Li Qiye patted his shoulder.
âHaha, I know better because if I do anything, Desolate Ancestor will kill me before you. This applies to the bull too.â The monarch said.
âIn a way, theyâre protecting you.â Li Qiye said.
âTrue.â The monarch stroked his chin.
Li Qiye noticed something and focused his gaze on a distant peak. Solar flames pulsed within a cave.
The source was a middle-aged man with golden hair. He looked like the lord of gods; his solar flame could burn everything.
He utilized it to trap a tiny creature resembling a whale. Its body glowed faintly with a dark light, seemingly having merged with its gray skin. Veins could be seen due to the light.
Despite looking cute, its glow could stop the waves of solar flames. Alas, it was too young to last long against the powerful cultivators.
The man could see the inevitable outcome and roared, intensifying his flames.
