Emperor’s Domination

A living fog emanated from the yin-yang current and flowed toward the divine rings, nourishing them. They gradually recovered and pulsed brightly before disappearing back into the flower.

“Freeze!” Li Qiye shouted and sealed the constant flow.

The entire platform and the pipe retaliated with the power of an epoch, intending to destroy his suppressive force.

“Boom!” Li Qiye forbade any mischief and added more power, fully sealing the entire platform. His overwhelming power coursed downward and reached the bottomless abyss. He divided the yin and yang flow along with any life force.

The disruption caused two women to form out of the yin-yang current and life force.

The woman to the left looked around thirty or so and had her hair draping down her shoulders. Her loose robe fluttered to the wind and couldn’t fully hide her exquisite figure and the towering peaks. The elusiveness only added to the charm and made people want to look longer.

Her facial features weren’t perfect and dazzling at first sight. They required time to truly appreciate the harmony. Each time someone took a look at her, they would notice a different beauty.

The woman to the right also wore a daoist robe with her hair tied up in a bundle. She possessed a dignified and transcending aura and was around thirty as well. She looked like a flower in the valley, beautiful yet separated from the world. Others could only gaze at her from a distance.

She possessed a pride-worthy figure but her aura distracted others from her beauty and charm. Her eyes, in particular, had an intimidating shimmer.

Li Qiye shook his head after seeing them and said: “I wonder if you two are considered alive or dead now.”

“Sacred Teacher and Prime Ancestor.” The woman to the right bowed and said.

“Big Sis, you shouldn’t be so distant, he’s our young noble.” The one to the left smiled and winked at her.

The proud daoist hesitated for a bit before correcting herself: “Young Noble.”

“Still the same as before.” Li Qiye said: “But you two are officially sisters in the same sect now.”

They were past acquaintances of Li Qiye - Untethered Daoist of Yang Radiance and Longevity Master of Longevity Valley.

They each had their own style. Longevity Master was humorous while Untethered preferred to be graceful and unreachable. They were rivals but also best friends once.

“We can’t help becoming closer after being trapped here for who knows how many years now? Thank you for coming, Young Noble.” Longevity Master came closer and took a good look at Li Qiye

He still looked the same as before except for being full of life like a mortal during his prime.

“Sigh, you are becoming more handsome and attractive.” She smiled at him before winking at her fellow captive: “Big Sis, don’t you think so?”

Untethered stared at him before nodding: “The young noble is an immortal now.”

“You two didn’t waste your life, your grand dao improved drastically.” LI Qiye complimented.

“What’s the point? We’re still just fireflies compared to you.” Longevity Master said sentimentally: “Plus, we’ve been stuck here and drained of our lifespan.”

“That’s why your sect has been sending alchemy liquid down to prolong your life.” Li Qiye said.

“Young Noble, not everyone is as capable as you, you know? Those three mischievous girls forced me into this position. If Big Sis didn’t come to help, all of us and the entire system would have been reduced to ashes.” Longevity Master smiled wryly.

“And this is your culmination achievement.” Li Qiye said while staring at the flower.

“We can’t be blamed for this.” Longevity Master said: “You casually destroyed this place and left, we came to take a look later and noticed something strange. We dug and found a seed, Little Shaoyao somehow managed to make the dead seed come back to life.”

“No caution at all.” Li Qiye said.

“Don’t be mad at us, we wouldn’t have done it if we knew.” She grabbed his hand and said: “The girls thought they had found an immortal seed and gave it a name.”

“What name?” Li Qiye wasn’t angry since what’s done is done.

“Atavistic Machine Epoch Everlasting Lotus.” She said with a serious tone.

“How do you know about Machine Epoch?” Li Qiye asked.

“Miaozhen heard a voice and told Shaoyao to give it this name.” Untethered joined the conversation: “After the planting of the seed, there were signs of their life forces being depleted so Yalan relied on her medicinal ability to alleviate this. If it wasn’t for this, they might have given up then.”

“It wasn’t Yalan’s fault, she became capable enough to bring people back from the brink of death.” Longevity said.

“So they believed they could also plant the seed back to life.” Li Qiye said.

“Yes, the three worked together for this goal.” Longevity said.

“They were creative.” Li Qiye smiled while looking at the lotus: “Origin flames of the fire race, an epoch seed, and the longevity dao. They mustered what they could out of alchemy, it’s impressive.”

“Right, they derived the profundity of the fire race to the limit and with the help of alchemy, they managed to revive the lotus flower.” Longevity smiled, clearly proud of her disciples.

“They just didn’t know what type of seed this was or the significance behind Machine Epoch.” Li Qiye said.

“We didn’t know back then but after being here for so long, we believe that this is an experiment.” Longevity said.

“Yes, creating or repairing this living entity.” Untethered added.
