Emperor’s Domination

“Do you understand the significance of becoming an overlord’s disciple?” He continued.

“Elaborate.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Well, you will obtain everything you desire.” He stroked his chin.

“I don’t have any in mind right now.” Li Qiye also stroked his chin.

“Become an emperor?” He tempted: “You can go to more places then, heh, I’ll even personally teach you, then you will become an ancient ancestor and live for five million years without any issue. The longer you live, the more things you can see.”

“It’s better to be a mortal, living too long makes one a bastard. Just one bad deed renders a whole life of good meaningless.” Li Qiye said.

“...” He paused for a bit before responding: “That makes sense but then again, brat, who told you that powerful cultivators will turn bad?”

“You yourself said you are the master of countless lives. Lives sound worthless in this case, so anyone in your position wouldn’t mind killing a million or so. That’s insignificant, right?” Li Qiye said.

“It is indeed insignificant.” He admitted.

“Someone who does that without thinking twice, what are they if not bastards?” Li Qiye said.

“True.” He said: “Brat, you know you are calling me a bastard.”

“Only a weak mortal will have a better chance at not becoming one, that’s a type of ability.” Li Qiye said.

“Hahaha, conversely, being able to become a bastard is a type of ability deserving of praise too.” He laughed.

“Correct.” Li Qiye chuckled.

“It’s fine that you don’t become an emperor, just learn different things from me.” He continued.

“What is the point?” Li Qiye asked.

“Brat, being my disciple in Qingyang is a special and wonderful thing.” He patted Li Qiye’s shoulder: “You can go anywhere while enjoying all the luxuries and riches in life. You can become a king if you wish, in charge of the land and having a different beauty as your companion each day during your journey...”

Any mortal would be tempted by the thought of becoming a wealthy baron, let alone a king. He could do as he pleased then, having all the money and beauties.

Of course, the same thing didn’t apply to cultivators who sought power and longevity, untempted by mortal desires.

“Not interested.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“Why is that?” He found the answer puzzling.

“I don’t need more responsibilities while traveling.” Li Qiye said.

“You really don’t want anything?” He stared at Li Qiye.

“Of course.” Li Qiye said.

“Fine, acknowledge me as your master and I will give you a Heaven-piercing Shuttle, it can take you anywhere.” He simply didn’t want to give up and summoned a boat with dao laws circling it.

“Even a mortal can control it, it is refined by my dao and fueled with primordial energy. It will last you a lifetime.” He continued.

“My feet will do.” Li Qiye said.

“Not this too?” He became frustrated at the strange mortal: “Brat, do you know what fortune you are giving up?”

“I have no ambition with cultivation, so I’m not giving up anything.” Li Qiye shook his head.

He thought about it and sure enough, the mortal never claimed any desire to join the cultivation world.

“Amusing, how amusing, everything that comes out of your mouth is a gem. I’m taking you in for sure.” He clapped and said.

“Still not interested.” Li Qiye said before heading for the fog.

“Are you tired of living?” He pulled Li Qiye back again: “This isn’t Heavenfall Path anymore, this is Omen Path, far more dangerous.”

“Omen Path, is it hard to cross?” Li Qiye played along.

“Of course, it is a combination of Heavenfall’s blood and malice, your puny body will be refined instantly, the end of your sightseeing journey.” He warned.

“You can get through just fine?” Li Qiye asked.

“Uhh...” He turned red at the question but didn’t want to lose face: “This is Omen Path we’re talking about.”

“Go on.” Li Qiye played innocent.
