Emperor’s Domination Chapter 5983: What Ancestral Teachings?

Chapter 5983: What Ancestral Teachings?

In the main hall, Radiant Master enthusiastically played the role of a good host.

“Young n.o.ble, we are poor and have no delicacies to offer you, I apologize again.” She said.

Li Qiye smiled and looked around at the portraits of the sect’s ancestors, the majority of which were yellow and brittle.

He saw a few familiar faces, prompting memories to resurface.

“Who is this?” Li Qiye asked regarding one of them.

“Our ancestor, Radiant Longevity Monarch.” Radiant Master said.

“I see.” Li Qiye smiled. The portrait depicted a middle-aged man.

One could still imagine him when he was younger and vigorous, but he possessed a dignified appearance like a king sitting among the clouds.

“The ancestor was the one who combined the old lineages, I believe he was a member of both.” Radiant Master said.

“Not Hundred-pill Gate?” Li Qiye smiled.

“You’re aware of this, Young n.o.ble?” This was a secret of their sect but she didn’t mind him knowing the truth since he was their savior.

“Secrets can’t be kept forever.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“Yes, Young n.o.ble.” She didn’t pursue how he knew and said: “Our monarch was from Hundred-pill Gate of Longevity System. The world addressed him as Pill King and he was indeed worthy of the t.i.tle, being the best in alchemy and pill refinement.”

Li Qiye chuckled since the girl was exaggerating some parts or didn’t know all the details. It was Young Pill King, not Pill King, and what was this about being the best at alchemy?

“And how did he join Yang Radiance later?” Li Qiye asked.

“That I don’t know.” She shook her head: “He supposedly joined and helped them with pill refinement, eventually reaching the rank of an ancestor.”

“He was certainly capable in the art of alchemy, hence his long lifespan.” Li Qiye nodded.

“You know more about our ancestor?” She became curious.

“Just a little bit.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Later on, both Longevity and Yang Radiance declined so the ancestor combined the two, a resounding success.” She let out a sigh because ultimately, they were presently in a terrible state.

“What did you do? There are fluctuations in your earth veins.” Li Qiye asked.

This made her stagger backward, startled.

“Forget it, I’m not here to learn your secrets, I just want to look at the ruins.” Li Qiye waved his hand.

“The ruins.” She was surprised to hear this.

“I’m not allowed?” He stared at her.

She hesitated momentarily before taking a deep breath: “I will take you, Young n.o.ble.”

Given Li Qiye’s contributions to the sect, she thought there was no issue in letting him know their secrets.

They arrived at the ruins - a broken area with shattered mountains. Edge Mountain Crone was asked to guard the outer area.

Upon entering, he focused on scanning the area that he had previously destroyed.

“This was a branch of our Radiant Longevity School.” Radiant Master said.

“Nothing to do with Yang Radiance, just Longevity System, a kingdom known as Everlasting.” Li Qiye said.

“Is there anything you don’t know, Young n.o.ble?” She blurted since this was new information to her.

“Something’s off.” After a while, Li Qiye’s smile turned into a frown.

“Why are you here, Young n.o.ble?” She mustered the courage to ask.

“There’s something you’re not telling me.” Li Qiye stared at her.

She took one step backward, clearly frightened.

“It’s not your fault.” Li Qiye said: “You have a heavy burden as the sect master.”

“I still don’t know why you are here, Young n.o.ble.” She said softly.

“Your monarch excavated a living mecha from here, right? That’s why I’m here to take a good look.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Silver Dragon Mecha, you’re here because of it?” She took a deep breath.

“Not quite, but my question is answered.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“Young n.o.ble, the mecha was slain by Desolate Ancestor, we don’t have anything left.” She calmed down and said.

“No, there is something else hidden here unbeknown to outsiders.” Li Qiye smiled.

“!” She became cautious after hearing this.

“If I want it, I would have taken it already and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.” Li Qiye said.

“How presumptuous of me.” She bowed: “You are extraordinary, Young n.o.ble, you surely don’t covet our sc.r.a.p metals.”

“I just want to take a look, will you open it or do I have to force it open?” He said.

Her expression changed repeatedly. Eventually, she gritted her teeth and said: “If you wish to see, then I will have to violate the ancestral teachings.”

She led them to a small dao platform on top of a broken peak. It looked to be on the verge of crumbling.

Li Qiye inhaled after seeing it and said: “So many alchemy materials gathered here for what reason? This liquid is meant for vitality replenishment.”

“Your knowledge is incredible.” She was moved since he recognized the purpose of the contraption after one whiff.

“What’s gestating below?” Li Qiye asked.

“The truth is, I do not know either, Young n.o.ble. I am only carrying out the ancestral teachings.” She smiled wryly.

“What are they?” He said.

“We pour recovery liquid down the platform every thousand years, the more precious, the better. I’ve done it five times already, that was my limit.” She said.
