Chapter 6322: Rather Be A Chicken Head Than A Phoenix Tail
The monarch followed Li Qiyeâs gaze and observed the contest.
âA few members of Desolate Frontier are capable.â He smiled: âItâs not easy cultivating the solar affinity to this level. Heâs in over his head though, thinking this darkloop beast is a treasure. This wonât end well.â
âRaa!â A dreadful roar caused all of Star Ocean to shake.
Those hiding in the darkness were fully intimidated.
âMommyâs here.â The monarch laughed.
âOoo-â The suppressed beast answered the cry.
âBoom!â A massive figure appeared, far larger than a whale. It had a pair of hands, one holding a jade-bone sword.
The man heard the roar and realized the danger.
âBoom!â He added more solar pulses to suppress the young one.
âHaha, this brat is dead, thatâs a king of Star Ocean. Itâs gonna eat him when it comes.â The monarch laughed at someone elseâs misery.
Li Qiye shook his head and threw the bone in his hand.
âWhoosh!â It soared like a meteor for the middle-aged man.
âWho?!â The latter looked up and spotted Li Qiye on a different peak.
As he was distracted, the bone destroyed his solar flames.
âScreech!â The baby creature took advantage of this and shot out more dark pulses.
âBoom!â They gathered into a beam, causing the man to enter a defensive stage.
âThe four brats arenât bad, they will accept your art. Moreover, their grand dao isnât complete so it will be easier for them to learn.â Li Qiye patted his shoulder again: âIâm sure you donât want to take the time traveling across Three Immortals to find more suitable disciples.â
âThat would take a long time.â The monarch admitted.
âTaking in a disciple is a matter of fate too, not just talent.â Li Qiye said.
âOkay, okay, Young Noble, Iâll take them.â The monarch relented: âBut if I have to bring those burdens around all day, shouldnât I be rewarded?â
âLook, the way to immortality is over there. Feel free to try the destructions.â Li Qiye smiled and pointed at the thirteenth peak.
âI donât want to try since Jiang Ba couldnât handle it, it would only bring me unnecessary suffering with no guarantee of surpassing who I am now.â The monarch said.
âYes, and you might not need destruction either. Redoing your cultivation can result in improvement.â Li Qiye said.
âOr I can get worse, no guarantee at all.â The monarch complained.
âThat depends on you, the path is already there.â Li Qiye said.
âWell, I wonât choose Desolate Ancestorâs path, I am fine with mine.â The monarch declared.
âPreferring to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix?â Li Qiye asked.
âA chicken head is still a head.â The monarch laughed: âIâm content as a supreme overlord and well, immortal might not be the highest realm.â
âYes.â Li Qiye nodded: âThe girl and the others still have a long way to go. Some may not survive.â
âI suppose there is no need to be number one. Being number three will do.â The monarch consoled himself.
âNumber three?â Li Qiye gave him the side eye.
âNumber five?â The monarch lost his confidence and said: âEight then?â
He arched his chest and said: âNo, ten is as low as I will go. Hmph, who else is stronger than me?â
âOnly you know the answer.â Li Qiye replied.
