Chapter 6782: Blade In The Heart

“Farewell, may the divine beasts be blessed for eternity.” Qing Ji bowed toward Xiaoyue, slowly disappearing.

“Farewell.” Xiaoyue bowed in return, becoming emotional.

A primordial immortal such as herself has traveled through the river of time and seen through the mortal coil. Alas, she was still a living being, unable to attain a state of true emotional detachment.

Moreover, they lived and fought together for epochs until his betrayal. Today, his crime was finally cleared. Unfortunately, Qing Ji wouldn’t be around for the public declaration back in Divine Firmament.

Xiaoyue needed a moment to calm down before looking at the girl again. Where did she come from?

Her bloodline wasn’t pure and original either, a mix of gluttonous beast and cosmic ancestral dragon bloodline.

“What, you want to take her away?” Li Qiye smiled.

“Where to? I can’t take her to Divine Firmament.” Xiaoyue smiled wryly. The origin of her birth would cause a stir across Divine Firmament and have unimaginable consequences.

Of course, the easiest way was to erase the girl from this world. Qing Ji was now dead; no one would ever find out.

“You are in charge of her, Young Noble.” She sighed and shook her head.

In the absence of Li Qiye and her displaying mercy, the other beasts might still kill the girl once they found out. Her very existence reminded them of the shame.

“She’s living well here, so let her continue here in peace.” Li Qiye looked at the girl and said softly: “Never reveal yourself, let life follow its course.”

The words became a mantra to carry out his will. They imprinted within her and became shackles. No one else could ever see her true bloodlines.

“Young Noble, I’m afraid I can’t follow you anymore. I wanted to offer my service but now, I must return to Divine Firmament.” Xiaoyue said.

“Go, I hope I do not have to pay you a visit in the future.” Li Qiye waved his hand.

“I wouldn’t dare to bother you, Young Noble.” She said, albeit without confidence.

This matter pertained to all the divine beasts, not only her. Although this secret should be left unearthed, she still wanted to find the truth.

Why was there a lifeform gestating within Phoenix Queen long after her death? Moreover, the bloodlines were different.

She recalled how Qing Ji wanted her to go to the ocean of wisdom. The matter of Skykiller’s death was another issue.

“If you can’t figure it out, I will do it.” Li Qiye said while looking at the ancient rune in his hand.

“The divine beasts will welcome you.” She bowed.

“Don’t be so sure, you all might be welcoming me with weapons then.” Li Qiye said.

“Don’t worry, Young Noble, I will not let that happen.” She swore.

“But if you’re not around?” He asked.

“I will be careful.” She understood and bowed her head.

“Go, I still have unfinished business.” He said.

“Where are you going now?” She asked.

“Since everyone likes Duality Enterprise so much, I’ll take a trip there.” He smiled.

“Duality Enterprise.” She murmured before bidding goodbye: “Young Noble, see you later.”

“See you later.” He nodded.

She took one step and disappeared. Leaving this tiny world was no trouble for an immortal like her.

“One after another, all tried to create life despite the price. And to try to create a perfect lifeform? That’s mere fantasy. A perfect lifeform can’t be artificially created.” He turned his attention back to the girl and sighed.

The girl stared at him blankly.

“I will take you back now. Living an ordinary life in the mortal world is a blessing in its own right. Otherwise, you would always be hunted.” He patted her shoulder.

The two returned to Venerable Dragon Kingdom. The lord was overjoyed with tears upon seeing her, rushing over and embracing her.

“Immortal, are you leaving now?” Phoenix Emperor and Dragon Ancestor were present.

“The mortal world shouldn’t have immortals.” Li Qiye smiled.

The two agreed because he was right. Immortals could become calamities in any world.

“As the blade is in your heart, it will be your wings.” He imprinted a mantra on Phoenix Emperor’s sword dao, causing it to resonate brightly.

“Three treasures return to truth, paving a new journey.” He also gave one to Dragon Ancestor's beast. It roared and erupted in radiance.
