Chapter 6789: An Immortal Can’t Understand The Mortal World “Since you’re here after so long, not going to come in for a bit?
” The voice spoke again.
Li Qiye smiled and entered the valley.
The deepest area was its own world.
As he stood on a cliff, he saw an ancient pine growing like a coiled dragon, having weathered untold storms and time.
Beneath was a stone table and stools.
One could see a lush sea of green in the distance with birds and beasts, painting a scene brimming with life.
An old man sat there with only a few stubborn strands of gray hair left.
They simply didn’t give up against time.
His face was covered in wrinkles; each told a different story.
His eyes hid beneath the layers of wrinkles, looking turbid and dull like a man at death’s door.
One more breath was all he had, it appeared.
Alas, a glimmer of light occasionally flashed within the clouded eyes, capable of remaking heaven and earth.
The rise and fall of three thousand worlds occurred in a fleeting instant.
His hands trembled as he boiled the tea.
Pouring it into cups took everything he had.
“Long time no see, you’re still the same as before.
” Li Qiye smiled and sat in the opposite stone chair.
The old man looked up for a closer look at Li Qiye; his vision possibly being blurry.
“Long indeed, you were sharp and reeked of blood before.
Now, you returned to the origin with no aggression in your bones.
” “Yes, the aggression is gone.
” Li Qiye said: “It can kill people but returning to the origin can destroy three thousand worlds.
” “You sent chills down my spine.
Now, you can destroy all of Heavenrealm with one wave, myself included.
” The old man became emotional.

It is time for you to harvest.
” Li Qiye smiled.
“I admit this is true.
I’ve completed numerous deals with a wide range of customers.
This is the most profitable transaction.
” He nodded.
“Yes.
” Li Qiye smiled.
“I have to live first for the harvest.
” He added.
“You waited long enough for me to get here.
” Li Qiye said.
“Yes, can’t die just yet.
” He said: “People say it’s better to live shamelessly than die well, but haven’t I lived shamelessly long enough?
” “If you call this living shamelessly, then no one else in this world has a good life.
” Li Qiye said.
“You’re still the same, just more terrifying.
” He sipped his tea.
“Is that right?
I was scarier back then, merciless and murderous.
The current me is as warm as jade.
” Li Qiye said.
“You were that way out of necessity.
Now, everything is a speck of dust.
” He said.
“Because I became stronger?
” Li Qiye asked.
“Everyone knew you were mighty then but you still loved the world.
This motivated you to move forward regardless of obstacles and enemies.
Is this love still there?
” He asked.
“Right, I have let go.
Now, I am no longer related to the mortal world.
” Li Qiye smiled.
“Severed the karma and let go of the self.
It’s a difficult path, you’ve surpassed me in such a short time.
My evaluation was correct.
” He said.
“When you’re born as an immortal, you can’t know the mortal world.
” Li Qiye shook his head.
“Well said.
” He laughed: “But is that true for me?
” “How many times have you died within the mortal coil, fighting for it to the very last drop of blood?
And enough suffering and love?
” Li Qiye asked.
“Long, long ago.
I can’t remember anymore.
” He sighed.
“That is why when Golden Mortal World fell, you only watched the darkness engulf it.
” Li Qiye said.
His hand holding the teacup trembled.
“Born as an immortal, from the past.
” He sighed.
“Becoming an immortal from the past, such incredible talent coveted by all.
” Li Qiye said.
“It’s also a curse.
” He said: “An early ascension but stuck above the clouds.
” “Not a curse, you simply couldn’t break through, still stuck as your past self.
” Li Qiye shook his head.
“Yes, and the past is long ago, severing this karma is difficult.
” He said.
“I agree.
” Li Qiye sipped his tea.
“Well, let’s not have our spirits dampened when a meeting is so rare.
You met the brat yet?
” He asked.
“Yes.
” Li Qiye said.
“I like him.
” He smiled: “If I have to pick between you two, I like him more because he’s different.
” “Very.
” Li Qiye smiled.
“Everyone would pick him over you, your existence infuriates others.
” He said.
“Am I really that bad?
” Li Qiye wasn’t offended.
“You tell me.
Those who know you understand that you have no friends.
You will always surpass and take others’ path, robbing them of it.
” He elaborated.
“I am only walking my own path.
” Li Qiye shook his head.
“Your path is paved above the crushed roads of others.
” He disagreed.
“That’s an exaggeration, I’m not so unreasonable.
” Li Qiye shook his head.
“Yes, you are, you kill everyone standing in your way, ending their path.
He said earnestly: “The whole world is yours.
” “You’re making me feel bad as if I’m a tyrant.
” Li Qiye said but showed no sign of feeling bad.
“But it’s fine because your path is unprecedented, not even the villainous heaven had walked it before.
” He said.
Li Qiye sighed and said: “I’ve never thought about ending others’ paths before.
”
