Chapter Summary
It hovered above the firmament like a crown, seemingly the main framework holding everything together. “You said nothing, letting everyone think that Qing Ji had desecrated Phoenix Queen’s corpse. However, it did not travel because there was a long thread drifting out at the bottom, looking like a tail.
Chapter 7126: Life Path By this point, the duo reached Chongming Palace.
It hovered above the firmament like a crown, seemingly the main framework holding everything together.
“Young Noble, we need the order to open it.
” The monarch said.
“You can’t open it?
” Li Qiye asked.
“No, the girl returned in a hurry and sealed it without saying anything.
” He said.
“She didn’t give you the order.
” Li Qiye said.
“It appears she trusts you.
” He said.
“Or that she doesn’t trust you.
” Li Qiye smiled.
“Well, that’s understandable.
” He sighed.
“She finally knows what you knew, it was only a matter of time.
” Li Qiye said.
“Because you woke her up.
” He smiled bitterly.
“No, she sought me out because she already had questions.
She could have gone to seniors or other divine beasts but chose an outsider instead.
” Li Qiye said: “The lord of Divine Firmaments but in the end, no one to trust, does that sound familiar?
” His expression changed.
Li Qiye walked closer and said: “What do you think she left behind?
” “I do not know.
” He shook his head.
“If it is something beneficial to Divine Firmament and the divine beasts, will you return it to Skykiller Palace?
” Li Qiye asked.
“Young Noble, I wouldn’t dare to take it from you.
” He bowed immediately.
“Of course not, but what if I were not here?
” Li Qiye asked.
“Well...
” He hesitated.
“That’s why your junior doesn’t trust you, because you are not firm.
” Li Qiye patted his shoulder.
“In the end, I’m still a member of the divine beasts.
” He sighed.
Li Qiye chuckled and placed the order into the keyhole.
“Buzz.
” The heavy gate lit up with spreading dao runes.
Once they covered the whole palace, the seal dispersed.
“Creak.
” The gate opened for the duo to enter.
Swirling mist and a celestial realm of lush trees, cascading springs, and an azure sky greeted them.
However, Li Qiye only paid attention to a linear maelstrom.
It looked like a spiral formed by countless particles flowing upward, disappearing into the unknown.
One could mistake it as a decorative phenomenon at first glance.
Alas, it was made from the most mysterious runes, serving as a portal to any world.
“This thing...
” The monarch stared at it.
“Seen it before?
” Li Qiye asked.
“His Majesty back then...
” He hesitated.
“Go on.
” Li Qiye smiled.
“Life Path, this was in his possession but he never explained it.
” He said: “This is what Qing Ji stole.
” “And you know what Qing Ji did.
” Li Qiye smiled.
“A little, he had to leave.
” He said.
“You said nothing, letting everyone think that Qing Ji had desecrated Phoenix Queen’s corpse.
” Li Qiye said.
“It wasn’t my idea.
” He sighed.
“Whose idea was it?
” Li Qiye asked.
He remained silent.
Li Qiye didn’t push the issue and said: “Since you helped Qing Ji escape, you clearly had a good relationship with him.
Why didn’t you speak up for him?
” “I had no proof.
” He shook his head.
“Did you meet your king and queen later?
” Li Qiye asked.
“No.
” He answered right away.
“Then who did you see?
Or what form?
” Li Qiye frowned.
He didn’t answer again.
“Cat got your tongue?
No matter, I’m here anyway, time to reveal the truth.
” Li Qiye shrugged and threw Qing Ji’s rune into the maelstrom.
It emanated a faint trembling noise like the vibration of an insect’s wings.
The maelstrom immediately returned to the rune.
Once they fused, it took the form of a spiral shell, ready to fly anywhere.
However, it did not travel because there was a long thread drifting out at the bottom, looking like a tail.
It pointed in a single direction, seemingly guiding it toward a predetermined set of coordinates.
As Li Qiye grabbed it, it shimmered and prepared for activation.
Li Qiye glanced at the thread and knew the destination right away.
“The nine worlds.
” He let out a sigh.
