Chapter 6300: Chapter 6325: Wavering?

This was why few disciples knew about Wisdom Ancestor despite her once pivotal role. She spent most of her time in Stoneclearing under Driedtree Emperor’s protection.

She returned to childhood without any problem with such a capable protector.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“You have done a commendable job, evident by the smooth process.” Li Qiye nodded approvingly.

“I did my best to carry out Master’s order. I didn’t dare to allow any complication.” Driedtree said.

“You followed her for a long time but no breakthrough.” Li Qiye commented.

She lowered her head in shame and said: “Master is not at fault, I am simply too foolish.

“Not at all. I see your dao, firm and tough each step of the way. Breakthrough is possible.” Li Qiye said.

“I-is it true?” Excitement was her first reaction but hesitation came next.

Rumor has it she had followed Desolate Ancestor longer than Xianting or North Kun God. Although stronger, they still addressed her as “senior sister”.

Some might find her cultivation impressive - a limit-path emperor despite being a maid. However, in another sense, her stagnation appeared to be a failure after receiving guidance from Desolate Ancestor. Were the years wasted?

“Do you think I am mistaken?” Li Qiye smiled.

“Of course not, Ancestor.” She lowered her head and said: “It’s just that I haven’t dared to break through.”

“And why is that?” She asked.

“I feel that I am unprepared, my dao foundation requires further polishment.” She said softly: “Master utilized countless destructions to prove her dao. I do not dare to attempt the trial but I should still take it slow.”

“And that will happen to me?” She asked.

“You are still stuck on the limit path, not daring to take the next step during your prime. Your vitality will wane eventually and you will be less likely to do it then. Not to mention the act, you will stop the goal of obtaining a primal anima eventually, replaced by just wanting to live longer. The hesitant overlords are no different.” Li Qiye sighed during the explanation: “They guarded their dao heart once, hence their success. The problem was losing their courage at the end. Without fearlessness propelling them forward, their determination collapsed.”

“Protecting the dao heart requires courage too.” She became drenched in cold sweat after listening.

“Yes, or you will stagnate despite having the firmest dao foundation. You must take the next step.” Li Qiye said.

“And here I thought I had the proper plan.” She said bitterly.

“Nothing is absolute, even the high heaven makes mistakes, let alone living beings. Are you comparable to the high heaven?” Li Qiye smiled.

“Of course not.” She bowed.

“The tribulations and destructions left a deep impression on you, traumatic even. You have to muster the courage to walk out of their shadows.” Li Qiye said.

“I will do my best.” She said.

“There is no need to wait, now is the time.” Li Qiye ordered.

“Now?” She became startled.

“No? Are you going to prepare for another ten thousand years?” Li Qiye was not pleased with her response.

“...” She smiled awkwardly, initially wanting to prepare some more. Of course, she didn’t have a timeline in mind.

“It is up to you and you alone now, this next step.” Li Qiye said before leaving.
