Chapter 6996: Brat, No Time For You

“This source is Dusk’s true blood and heavenly essences combined, as pure as can be.” He said: “Of course, it won’t be easy for you to seize it fully.”

“I’m more than satisfied if it can be used to help with cultivation.” She said.

“It has created a world with countless living beings. The treasures and resources here belong to them.” He said.

“I understand. Since I am benefiting from this world, I will toil for it.” She said.

He nodded before asking: “Where is Desolate?”

“She mentioned visiting a primordial tree, that is all I know.” She answered.

“Did she tell you why?” He glanced at the horizon.

Back in Three Immortals, she was able to cultivate on the primordial tree. Why did she choose the one in Ruin?

“I don’t know since I didn’t wish to ask.” She shook her head. After all, she wasn’t at the level to inquire further.

“I don’t think she has gotten down from the tree in Ruin.” She added.

“That’s where the tribulations are.” He said.

Suddenly, shouts and sounds of fighting came from the outside.

“Little ones, I won’t pick on you all, tell someone who can talk to come out.” The invader laughed heartily.

“An overlord.” Ye Fantian’s expression soured while Li Qiye chuckled.

“Boom!” The gate shattered as the invader entered the ancestral ground.

“I knew there was a grotto here.” The person said with a lackadaisical smile.

“Why are you here?” Fantian asked.

“A native overlord? Impressive.” He was surprised to see her: “Looks like I’m in the right place. Don’t be afraid, Miss, I’m just here to ask you some questions...”

“Wait a minute.” He then noticed a familiar figure near her: “Brat, why are you here?! Did she catch you?”

“Does it look like I’m captured?” Li Qiye sipped his tea.

“Then how did you get here?” Mo Xiangsheng asked.

“I walked.” Li Qiye said.

“Obviously, you can’t fly anyway.” He grumbled.

“Why are you here?” Li Qiye asked.

“Right, here to get some information.” He remembered his goal: “I ran around and only saw immortals at the visual phenomena, which would be suicidal to enter for me. All the good spots were taken, so I wanted to talk to the natives for a bit.”

With that, he bowed slightly at Ye Fantian and asked: “Fellow Daoist, you must be the number one cultivator in Dusk Realm. Do you know of any worthwhile spots to visit here?”

Despite his ambition, he understood he couldn’t compete for the dao court or celestial source. Therefore, he shifted his focus toward other things - perhaps a drop of blood or a piece of bone.

After visiting enough places, he thought going around aimlessly was foolish. Asking the native could yield greater results. He had heard about the Fantian Dynasty, which led to his visit.

“I don’t know of any.” She shook her head.

“Fellow Daoist, I heard that the dao in Dusk started from here. You must have been here for eras now and know everything about.” He didn’t buy the answer.

“I’ve been in isolated cultivation all this time and never traveled.” She said.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t be so quick to dismiss me.” He shamelessly walked over and poured a cup of tea, drinking it in one gulp.

“Good tea, a testament to how nice Dusk Realm is.” He praised.

“Then drink more, you might not be able to later.” Li Qiye said.

“Bah, watch your unlucky mouth.” He glared at Li Qiye: “I can live for trillions and trillions more years. I can drink more whenever I want.”

Li Qiye only smiled and drank more tea.

“Brat, I don’t have time for you today, I’m here for treasures.” He said before turning to Ye Fantian: “Fellow Daoist, as you can see, immortals have arrived in your world. If you don’t give out information, they won’t be as nice as I am.”

She knew he was telling the truth and couldn’t help glancing at Li Qiye. The latter smiled and said: “You don’t have to go look around anymore, the celestial source is right beneath your feet.”

“...” He froze for a moment before laughing and spitting out his tea.
