Chapter 2795: 2795
Though Li Qiye was cultivating inside the ancestral shrine, he wasn’t actually there right now .
His body was inside a boundless ocean . However, it wasn’t filled with surging water but rather the energy of the world - the essences of the dao and dense true energy .
The waves were made of runes containing profound mysteries . Each rune was part of a greater text; all were supreme merit laws .
The sky here had shimmering stars . Their illumination made this place beautiful and full of life .
However, these stars were actually dao laws . When they fell down into the ocean, they would turn into runes .
This was a cyclical world with constant gestation . Time and space didn’t seem to exist here so one would reach the mythical state of immortality .
It was the dao source of Immortal Demon - their foundation and everything .
This place remained a mystery to its descendants . Some said that Eight Trigrams had control of it once, the same for Mountguard…
A more popular one stated that the source has always been under Longevity Hall’s control . That’s the reason why this sect always had Everlastings and maintained its authority over the system .
In reality, the source never belonged to a single person or sect . It was special and independent, continuing to gather the faith and determination of the system members for generations . This eventually gave birth to the avatar in the form of the statue outside the ancestral shrine .
The boundless dao power and worldly essences surrounded Li Qiye . Every inch of his flesh was brimming with power .
Of course, he wasn’t trying to take it for his own or becoming one with this dao source . He simply intended on borrowing its power in order to accelerate the internal refinement process .
Everlasting Forefather was an incredible being so the dao source he created was immensely heaven-defying as well .
Though the system was no longer in its golden age, its dao source didn’t weaken in the slightest . Its actual potential exceeded everyone’s imagination so it was very helpful for Li Qiye .
Such pure power from the dao source couldn’t be obtained for most people . Given the opportunity, most would absorb this force and take it as their own . Some would even think about combining themselves with the dao source in order to use it to gestate their own power .
Li Qiye had no such thoughts . Plus, this was the lifework and legacy of Everlasting Forefather .
Li Qiye had a fateful connection to both Everlasting Xiao and Everlasting Forefather so he wouldn’t take their legacy .
***
Meanwhile, the entire system was in a lull, more peaceful than ever before . In fact, nothing big had happened in Immortal Lineage World recently .
Because people of this, some have forgotten about the prophecy - the heavenly change heralds a monster . [1]
A dark ray crossed through the sky today while everyone was deep asleep . Not to mention ordinary experts, even progenitors couldn’t spot it .
It had a flickering golden glow . The black and gold kept on interchanging and twisting, seemingly competing with each other . None had the upper hand .
Li Qiye inside the dao source opened his eyes and activated his heavenly gaze, instantly locking onto this darkness .
“This is…?” His eyes narrowed and sent out a terrifying radiance . Each strand of light could cut out a new world .
“You should be familiar with this presence . ” The existence on the verge of death inside his dao heart was still very sensitive to this dark ray .
“Boom!” It smashed into a desolate location belonging to the Academy of Light .
A million miles around the crash point instantly melted into lava with a dark shade . The place became evil as if devils could come out at any moment .
In the next second, strands of sacred light drilled out of the ground and began refining the dark land .
At the same time, Li Qiye's body flashed and he crossed through numerous realms and domains, instantly entering the Academy of Light .
“Boom!” A shockwave emanated from the area and alarmed numerous top existences, such as progenitors .
One progenitor stood up and surveyed the world . He didn’t know where it came from just yet but still exercised caution .
“How can this nefarious intent be here?!” Another progenitor calculated the event . His expression soured as a result .
He then activated his heavenly gaze in order to find the exact landing location of this darkness .
All of these great beings were slower than Li Qiye since he had already made it to this remote region .
He saw the black lava instantly incinerating anything that comes in contact with it and the sacred lights from the ground trying to fight back .
The latter seemed to be endless and relentless . They seemed tiny compared to the gushing lava but giving up didn’t seem to be a part of their nature . One wave came after another . If this continued, they would certainly be able to purify this evil land in time .
“A saint or devil?” Li Qiye became sentimental during his observation: “No wonder why the old man said that he used to be a man of light before succumbing to the darkness . His sacred self still eventually faltered to the unending tides of darkness . Or, maybe his light originated from a survival standpoint, a last-ditch effort in trying to save himself from the darkness . ”
No one had an answer because no one knew the state of mind of the progenitor from the Academy of Light during that moment .
“It comes down to a single thought . ” Li Qiye shook his head and entered deeper .
1 . Remember, monster here is the word for ‘fierce’, Li Qiye’s first title . Monster is a close meaning as in a horrifying existence, not an actual monster .
