Chapter 2837: 2837
The students gave Li Qiye the side-eye, deeming his previous statement as being outrageous .
Zhou Quishi and the others also started signaling at Li Qiye to not be too harsh . Offending an eight-palace emperor might be bad for their academy .
Tiger King didn’t know what to say . Everyone knew his master - Goldtypha True Emperor of Strong Grass System . Li Qiye’s purposeful ignorance could only be construed as an insult . [1]
“My master is from Strong Grass System, a disciple of Orchid Sage, my grandmaster…” He coughed and elaborated .
Everyone quieted down right away after the sage was brought up in order to show respect .
In Immortal Lineage, everyone has heard of two titles - Orchid Sage and Luminous Master .
They were two progenitors that have reached this realm at such a young age, indicative of their peerless talents .
Orchid Sage hailed from Strong Grass System and became a progenitor later . He has yet to create his own system and still referred to himself as a member of Strong Grass .
Tiger King as an eighth-level Ascender wasn’t much in Academy of Light because the various academies had True Emperors .
As for his master, Goldtypha True Emperor, this person had extraordinary talents since birth . However, there was still a big gap between him and supreme geniuses such as Holyfrost True Emperor, Violet Dragon Empress, Brightking Buddha, and Metalkin War God .
His greatest advantage unavailable to others including Holyfrost True Emperor was his master - Orchid Sage .
With a grandmaster like that, Tiger King could proudly do whatever he wanted .
That’s why all the students here held their breath after hearing this title . The most brilliant and prestigious ones in the crowd still viewed the sage with nothing but reverence .
“Never heard of him either . ” Li Qiye nonchalantly responded .
This answer struck everyone like thunder so they stared at him in astonishment .
Not hearing about Goldtypha True Emperor was understandable, more or less . There were around eight or ten emperors right now in the current generation on top of some from the previous . Plus, the academy had several too .
On the other hand, feigning ignorance about Orchid Sage was outrageous . Even a three-year-old child knew about him .
Anyone who had just joined a cultivation sect would know of his title . That’s why Li Qiye’s response seemed careless and arrogant - treating everyone else with contempt .
Zhou Qiushi and the others turned pale and helplessly stomped their feet . Their attempts at stopping Li Qiye were futile .
Offending a True Emperor was more than their academy can chew . Now, he offended a progenitor too .
This was dragging their academy down the abyss . The rage of a progenitor might erase everything .
Contrary to the anxious youths, Du Wenrui wasn’t worried at all and still had a smile on his face . It was as if none of this had anything to do with him and his academy .
Tiger King tried to threaten Li Qiye with his background - rubbing and punching the guy at the same time in order to get him to obediently hand over the treasure .
He didn’t expect Li Qiye’s refusal to play along with his plan . Moreover, the guy even insulted his master and grandmaster .
“Brat, you’re too conceited!” Tiger King shouted, unable to restrain himself . The other students felt the same way .
“What makes you say that?” Li Qiye feigned innocence .
“My grandmaster’s grand dao reaches the heaven and surpasses history itself . No one in this world doesn’t know of him until today where you run your blasphemous and ignorant mouth…”
“Enough . ” Li Qiye waved his hand and interrupted the guy: “I simply have never heard of him . To do otherwise is to pretend to be smart . An honest person like me doesn’t do that . ”
Many saw his innocent expression and exchanged glances . Most still didn’t buy it .
“You…” Tiger King turned red and needed to take a deep breath for composure .
“Then who in this world can enter your sight? Who have you heard of?” He sneered and said .
Who else right now was more famous than his grandmaster and Luminous Master?
“Well…” Li Qiye scratched his head, seemingly contemplating . After a while, he finally answered: “I’ve heard of some people, umm, Emperor Sui, Emperor Xi, and Emperor Nong . Yeah, they’re quite famous . ”
“Do these three count? They don’t actually exist . ” The crowd was stunned again .
Everyone knew that these beings were only legends . There existed no concrete records of them . Rumor has it that they have turned into immortals long ago . Many considered their stories to be fabrications too .
Some students smiled and didn’t refute Li Qiye’s statement . However, Orchid Sage and Luminous Master existed in reality and had a greater impact than the other three .
Meanwhile, Du Wenrui who has been enjoying the show suddenly put on a serious expression after hearing this .
“Hmph, they’re only tales and legends, not trustworthy at all . Anyone else?” Tiger King snorted .
“Hmm…” Li Qiye scratched his head again: “I’m having a hard time recalling, oh, right, one more . ”
“Who?” One student asked right away .
“Arrogance . I’ve heard of this person before, a very interesting fella . ” Li Qiye clapped and said .
“Arrogance? Who is that?” This title wasn’t as popular .
“I know, that’s the founder of Arrogance Enterprise, a very famous merchant . I heard many big shots in history have been tricked by him . He wasn’t well-loved during his generation, to say the least . ” A student said .
“Now I remember too, someone from Purification Creek told me an anecdote about his progenitor being tricked by this person and got sold to a devil . His progenitor eventually escaped the devil’s lair and chased this evil merchant for a lifetime, to the edge of the world and back . ” A student also recalled .
“Really?” Many became curious .
“Yes . ” Another knowledgeable student chimed in: “Furthermore, this is after that progenitor’s dao enlightenment, not during his youth . ”
“No way, Purification Creek’s Xian Baihui is one of the most brilliant progenitors . He should be invincible after reaching this level so how can someone else sell him to a devil? It doesn’t make any sense . ” The skeptics said .
Purification Creek was once the strongest system in Immortal Lineage . This was no longer the case but it was still famous and powerful .
Xian Baihui was an incredible being, one of the top progenitors in history . In Three Immortals, only two people used their name as their title - Gao Yang and Xian Baihui .
Thus, how could this invincible progenitor be sold to a devil by a merchant? No one would believe this story .
1 . Typha looks okay as a translation if he’s from a system named Strong Grass . The name of this system means - tough upright grass; fig . a staunch character able to withstand tough test
