Dominator Emperor

Li Qiye couldn’t help but smile. ”Whether it is or isn’t is no longer important,” he said. ”What is important is that you now focus on your cultivation. First, you’ll cultivate Body Techniques, then a Cultivation Technique. After you finish the Body Techniques, you will then cultivate the Biluo Heart Method from my Xiyan Ancient Sect.”

”The Biluo Heart Method?” Chen Baojiao stared blankly for a moment before blurting out, ”The Xiyan Ancient Sect’s entry-level heart method?”

”Don’t look down on this Heart Technique,” Li Qiye said. ”If you can truly grasp all of its Profound Mysteries, it will benefit you for your entire life. Your physique is unique; all of your cultivation must be based on the Overlord Fairy Spring Body. The Biluo Heart Method is a majestic and orthodox technique. It will be compatible with any Cultivation Technique you practice in the future. With the Overlord Fairy Spring Body as your foundation, the Biluo Heart Method is the most compatible Heart Technique there is. Understand?”

Seeing how serious Li Qiye was, Chen Baojiao no longer questioned his authority. When he began to impart the Body Techniques to her, she was completely focused, afraid of missing a single word.

As she listened to Li Qiye’s teachings, Chen Baojiao was truly shaken. She finally understood the source of his confidence. She came from the Treasure Pillar Saint Sect and had seen plenty of Body Techniques, but only now, upon hearing what Li Qiye taught, did she understand what a truly peerless Body Technique was!

The *Body Book* could be called the origin of all Body Techniques! It contained more than just the techniques of the Twelve Immortal Bodies; it held the very source of all Body Techniques. Of course, only after Li Qiye had spent countless years comprehending it, millions of years evolving it, did he finally unravel all the mysteries of the *Body Book*!

The techniques of the Twelve Immortal Bodies were, one could say, just a part of the *Body Book*. These techniques were also the ultimate expression of the ”six principles.”

Cultivating Chen Baojiao’s Overlord Fairy Spring Body utilized another mystical principle from within the *Body Book*! Moreover, her Overlord Fairy Spring Body was not part of the Twelve Immortal Bodies series.

If a physique’s attributes were divided into ten parts, then the Twelve Immortal Bodies would be the pinnacle. For example, the Sun Body is the ultimate expression of Yang—Supreme Yang! All ten parts of its attributes are of the Yang quality.

Chen Baojiao’s Overlord Fairy Spring Body was exceptionally rare; out of ten attribute parts, it encompassed all six principles. Yin and Yang each occupied one part, Clear and Turbid each occupied one, Hard occupied four, and Soft occupied two!

This meant that for the Overlord Fairy Spring Body’s technique, the mystical principles of Yin, Yang, Clear, and Turbid each accounted for one part, while the principles of Hard accounted for four parts, and Soft for two!

For a single physique to encompass the mystical principles of all six concepts was exceedingly rare! This was precisely what made the Overlord Fairy Spring Body so exceptionally rare.

As Chen Baojiao began to cultivate the technique Li Qiye had taught her, she was utterly astounded. For the first time, she truly felt like a fish in water, as if the technique was a perfect extension of her own body. An indescribable sense of comfort washed over her. Her Blood Qi surged, and she felt a sense of euphoria, as if she were about to ascend. As a rumbling thunder echoed within her, she was baptized by the Supreme Body Technique!

In that moment, Chen Baojiao knew she had not made the wrong choice. This was the most important choice of her life!

Before this, her Overlord Fairy Spring Body had always been a source of trouble. In truth, Chen Baojiao’s own aptitude wasn’t poor. While she couldn’t compare to Li Shuangyan, she was still outstanding. Yet, hindered by her physique, she had to put in far more effort than others just to achieve the same results. Despite this, the strong-willed Chen Baojiao had always cultivated diligently, more so than anyone else. It was precisely because she had poured in countless measures of blood and sweat that she had attained the strength of a powerful expert.

Now, starting from scratch with the Supreme Body Technique, Chen Baojiao remained just as diligent, and her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

Chen Baojiao’s diligence and effort were truly astonishing. Even Li Shuangyan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, ”Looks like I’ll have to redouble my efforts. Otherwise, I’m starting to feel the pressure!”

As a genius, Li Shuangyan had always been diligent in her cultivation. However, when she saw Chen Baojiao’s desperate, all-out effort, Li Shuangyan felt that she herself came up short and couldn’t help but admire her.

After Chen Baojiao completed her Body Building with the Supreme Body Technique, Li Qiye finally taught her the Biluo Heart Method. As she listened to his lecture, she was once again left in awe. An ordinary entry-level heart method, when taught by Li Qiye, became something extraordinary—he could turn the mundane into the miraculous! At that moment, she finally understood why he had chosen to teach her the Biluo Heart Method.

After the lesson, Chen Baojiao’s heart pounded in her chest, unable to calm down for a long time. Her large eyes stared intently at Li Qiye. Gazing at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy before her, she asked in disbelief, ”Are you really just an ordinary disciple of the Xiyan Ancient Sect?”

”Wrong. I’m the Chief Disciple,” Li Qiye replied with a leisurely smile.

Chen Baojiao shot him an exasperated glance. ”What’s the difference! If this were an Ancient Country, being the Chief Disciple might be worth something. But the Chief Disciple of the Xiyan Ancient Sect has no real advantage over a regular disciple.”

”What does a little girl like you know!” Li Qiye said, tapping her on the head. ”And another thing, don’t you dare belittle your own master. If you do, watch out, or I’ll have to discipline you. Got it?”

Chen Baojiao’s face flushed red, and she couldn’t help but glare at Li Qiye, huffing with indignation. She was clearly older than him, yet he kept calling her ”little girl” over and over. It was infuriating!

This charming, captivating beauty, with her indignant air, was enough to make any man’s heart race. But Li Qiye merely smiled and walked away.

After Li Qiye left, Chen Baojiao subconsciously touched the spot on her head where he had tapped her, lost in a daze. She was of noble birth, a ”golden branch and jade leaf,” beautiful and charming beyond compare. Everywhere she went, she was the center of attention, surrounded by countless young prodigies. She, who had always been placed on a pedestal, was now serving Li Qiye as a Maid.

Yet, unconsciously, she found she didn’t dislike the feeling, nor did she reject this new identity. ’It seems... staying by Li Qiye’s side as a Maid gives me a sense of freedom, a feeling of being carefree.’ At that moment, she finally understood why a Heavenly Pride Girl like Li Shuangyan was willing to serve as a mere Sword Attendant.

While Li Qiye was busy teaching and cultivating at the Xiyan Ancient Sect, more than a year had passed since the grand feast at Demon’s Back Ridge. Then, one day, something momentous happened in the Great Middle Realm.

Suddenly, from within the Great Middle Realm, a pillar of Evil Qi shot toward the heavens. It was followed by a brilliant radiance that lit up the entire sky. Within that undulating light, Ancient Coffins appeared one by one, suspended above the horizon. A silent funeral dirge echoed forth—soundless, yet it filled all who perceived it with immense sorrow. In the distant sky, the Ancient Coffins lay in state. The phantoms of Ancestors appeared to pay their respects, and Sages were rendered speechless with grief. The scene was magnificent beyond words, as if an Immortal King had perished and a Divine Emperor was being laid to rest...

Those seeing this for the first time were utterly stunned, while those who had witnessed it before couldn’t help but become incredibly excited.

This sudden phenomenon caused beings slumbering deep within the earth to sit up bolt upright. This strange event awakened many old monsters who had sealed their Blood Qi to halt the decay of their Lifespan!

At this moment, one ancient existence after another opened their eyes. In the Qingxuan Ancient Country, an old monster’s eyes snapped open, his gaze seemingly piercing through space to look directly at the phenomenon.

In the War God Hall, an elder who had been sealed in dust for ages finally stirred. He opened his eyes, unable to contain his excitement, and rose to his feet. This act startled countless disciples, and many a Prince and Saint Emperor was deeply moved.

Even in the distant Western Wilderness, at the Sword God Holy Land, a figure whose killing intent soared to the heavens climbed out of the Ancient Coffin they had slumbered in. Their eyes, like a pair of Divine Swords, pierced through the Celestial Vault as they muttered excitedly, ’In this era, can someone truly achieve rebirth?’

At this very moment, from the Celestial Dao Academy in the East Hundred Cities to Qi Bamboo Mountain in the Southern Red Land, Old Undyings who had been slumbering—or even lying within their coffins—began to rise. Some sighed with emotion, some trembled with excitement, some remained indifferent, and others were simply thrilled. These were all figures who were long dead in legend, Old Undyings lying in coffins or buried deep within the earth. They were beings who would not appear unless their sects were on the verge of annihilation. Yet today, this sudden phenomenon had alarmed them all.

’In this era, can a miracle be created? Can someone achieve rebirth?’ one Old Undying murmured, gazing at the anomaly in the sky.

One Old Undying even had a covetous gleam in their eyes as they whispered, ’Or maybe... this is a chance to live for another generation!’

”The Netherworld Ship is about to emerge!” The next day, this news spread like a tempest, first through the Great Middle Realm and then across the entire Human Emperor Realm. Over a long period of time, the news eventually reached the Northern Ocean, the Southern Red Land, the Western Wilderness, and the East Hundred Cities!

After a great deal of time, the news had spread to every corner of the world.

The powerful Great Teaching Territories and Emperor Immortal Gates of the Great Middle Realm were the first to receive the news. Upon hearing it, the Sect Leaders and Emperors of every Great Teaching Territory and Holy Sect Secret Sect were all deeply shaken.

This was especially true for certain old fossils on the verge of death. They immediately shot up from their seats, unable to remain still, and exclaimed with great emotion, ”The Netherworld Ship... it’s setting sail again!”

The news of the Netherworld Ship’s appearance sent the entire Great Middle Realm into an uproar. The news went viral among all the sects. Within a single month, it had spread with unbelievable speed to every corner of the realm. Every Cultivator, whether from a sect or a Loose Cultivator, was discussing the matter of the Netherworld Ship.

An ancient proverb circulated in the Human Emperor Realm: ”Netherworld emerges, rebirth arises. Celestial Road appears, Divine Stone opens!”

The Netherworld Ship was a supremely mysterious existence. In the Human Emperor Realm, any discussion of the Netherworld Ship was inevitably linked to the Ancient Sky Corpse Land.

A Cultivator in the Human Emperor Realm might go their entire life without seeing the Netherworld Ship, but they would almost certainly have a chance to enter the Ancient Sky Corpse Land.

The Ancient Sky Corpse Land was a legend from the most ancient of times, one of the world’s Twelve Burial Lands. However, for the Human Emperor Realm, the Ancient Sky Corpse Land held a unique significance.

The Twelve Burial Lands. A Burial Ground was, as the name implied, a place for burials. Countless people, countless Cultivators in this world, hoped to be interred in one of the Burial Grounds on the day of their death.

In the Human Emperor Realm, at least, many Cultivators whose Lifespan was nearly exhausted and who faced their final moments hoped to be buried in the Ancient Sky Corpse Land. In the minds of countless Cultivators, it was the ideal final resting place!
