Chapter 6281: No Permission “What will you do now, Young Noble? Do you require our service?” Violet Dragon asked. “No, it is time for you two to move forward. There is a longer path in the future.” Li Qiye said with a smile. “Yes, we must try harder. It is embarrassing to be surpassed by the juniors.” Li Xuansu said. “Yes, we must reach a higher realm.” Violet Dragon agreed. Li Xuansu came from an earlier generation, far stronger than Violet Dragon. However, the wounds caused by Primal Yin Immortal Ghost lowered her cultivation. Li Qiye cured her but she still needed to cultivate again. Nevertheless, her original foundation was still intact and could be improved. Violet Dragon was different. She had been on the return path for a long time. Given the difficulty of her path, she would have a harder time reaching the supreme overlord level. Her main advantage was having two of Long Dingtian’s artifacts - the pill and regalia. Their wild affinity gave her access to a higher power. Since she had broken through once before, there were traces of this realm in her mind and body. No one else shared this advantage. “It’s not impossible, the imperial path has its way, your everlasting type of cultivation is the same.” Li Qiye said. “The imperial path changes and improves life force, how should we do it?” Violet Dragon asked. “What is the ultimate goal of cultivation?” Li Qiye asked. “Eternal life and indestructibility.” She said. “Sure, they are slightly different. Eternal life is just a temporal matter. The mortal world describes this as living as long as heaven and earth.” He paused briefly before continuing: “Those who can do this are often called supreme overlords. Of course, there are other titles for them such as epoch lords and some power differences. So when we’re talking about the imperial path, how do supreme overlords obtain this?” “A stage known as indestructibility.” She said. “Yes, a process to reach the other shore for emperors.” Li Qiye said. “What does living as long as heaven and earth entail?” She asked. “To be specific, you will die when your epoch is destroyed without special mending or evading methods. Of course, either requires an astronomical price.” He said. “In other words, as long as their epoch lasts long, they will also live long.” Li Xuansu said. “There are loopholes to the way you put it, and many historically great cultivators tried to take advantage of it.” Li Qiye smiled. “It’s just too hard to prolong the epoch?” Violet Dragon asked. “That’s one way but there is a limit. Let’s talk about Three Immortals, it is unique, fully separated yet connected.” Li Qiye said. “Please elaborate, Sir.” Li Xuansu asked. “Separation means it’s difficult for tribulations to descend as long as cultivators don’t reach a certain level. For example, emperors and primal ancestors don't have to face tribulations. This applies to heaven-slayers as well. Only pioneers starting access to higher fortunes are at risk.” Li Qiye said. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂 “Other worlds aren’t so lucky. There needs to be a strong concealing method or even the imperial or desolate god path will incite a tribulation.” He continued. “So what makes Three Immortals special?” Li Xuansu asked. The youths listened to the conversation attentively even though it was out of their reach currently. They knew it was a rare opportunity to learn more about cultivation. “Three Immortals is connected to a destroyed world, forming a separation. This disconnects it from everywhere else, not to mention blessed barriers.” Li Qiye said. Li Xuansu and Violet Dragon pondered the implications while the youths were just amazed to learn about the outside world. “A destroyed world...” Li Xuansu stared at Li Qiye and said softly: “You’ve gone on one before...” She didn’t finish after saying this and Li Qiye didn’t explain. “Why do tribulations ravage other worlds?” Violet Dragon asked. “Because the high heaven does not give permission, cultivation is essentially rebelling.” Li Qiye smiled. “What makes it rebellious?” Princess Chen boldly joined the conversation. “Which perspective should I use to explain this? When it comes to the natural order, the high heaven does not wish for someone to break the rules and gain strength.” Li Qiye said: “But, an optimistic way to look at this is the high heaven wishes to balance its own rules. The slower it takes for a golden age to come, the longer the epoch will last.” “Longer the epoch will last...” Li Xuansu murmured. “Yes, but the issue is that those who live too long shouldn’t be there.” Li Qiye said. “Such as emperors and desolate gods or above.” Violet Dragon said. “Is it a good thing for the high heaven to enact these restrictions?” Li Xuansu asked. “Your statement isn’t wrong in some ways, but the world is always evolving, as it should. Otherwise, living beings will stagnate and remain primitive. There are many evolutions, cultivation is one of them.” Li Qiye said. “There are other evolutions?” Violet Dragon asked. “You all know of Silver Dragon Mecha, that’s another evolution.” Li Qiye said. The two women understood after hearing this. “Wasn’t Silver Dragon Mecha created?” Orchidcore asked. “Untrue because it was a living being.” Li Qiye said. The juniors exchanged glances because they thought the machine was crafted. Was this not the case? So this living being was able to gain so much strength without needing cultivation?
