Dominator Emperor

However, Li Qiye’s Dao Foundation was a pursuit of perfection. When it came to experience in Cultivation, no one in the world could compare to him. He had once groomed countless members of the Invincible Generation. As a mentor to Immortal Emperors, his expertise in Cultivation far surpassed anyone else’s; even Immortal Emperors would have to admit their inferiority in this regard.

From the very beginning, Li Qiye had sought to build a solid and flawless Dao Foundation. After being nourished by the Creation of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Liquid, his Great Dao was polished even further. It made his Dao Foundation approach perfection, causing it to tend toward a state of seamless, natural completion.

Without the nourishing Creation of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Liquid, even a Dao Foundation approaching perfection would be like a newly finished masterpiece—still possessing some minor rough edges.

However, after being nourished and transformed by the Heaven and Earth Primordial Liquid, these minor rough edges were polished away. This allowed Li Qiye’s Dao Foundation to approach a state of seamless, natural completion. Perhaps one day, it would truly become a Great Dao born of heaven itself!

As Li Qiye’s Dao Foundation approached this state of seamless completion, chaotic energy began to permeate it. The entire Dao Foundation looked as if it had been built before the very beginning of heaven and earth. It seemed that if Li Qiye’s Dao Foundation were to cleave the chaos, it could construct the six daos and build the Three Thousand Worlds!

Especially when Li Qiye’s Dao Foundation transformed into a Kunpeng to fly around his True Destiny, chaos poured down like a waterfall. This endless chaos formed a vast ocean, great enough to submerge the True Destiny itself.

This was no longer the Kunpeng from the ”Kunpeng Six Transformations.” It had undergone a qualitative change. At this moment, it should be called a Chaos Kunpeng, something far more powerful.

An Immortal Scripture appeared in Li Qiye’s Sea of Consciousness. This was the ”Ten Thousand Forms, One Thought” he had spent countless eons creating! This one Immortal Scripture was the culmination of an unknown amount of his life’s blood.

At this moment, the Immortal Scripture transformed into True Words that coiled around his True Destiny. The True Destiny shone brilliantly, inhaling endless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. The Life Wheel emerged and began to spin, while his Longevity Blood morphed into dragons and serpents that surged forward.

Now, under the Refinement of the True Words from ”Ten Thousand Forms, One Thought,” the dragon-and-serpent Longevity Blood merged with the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi into a single mass. And at this exact moment, the True Destiny communicated with the Four Symbols of the Destiny Palace.

In that instant, the Four Symbols of the Destiny Palace all responded. The Tree of Life swayed, and a green light emerged from its countless leaves. The lights flew up like life sprites and instantly submerged themselves into the essence formed from the Longevity Blood and Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, as if granting it life.

The Spring of Life splashed three thousand miles high, and its torrents of Water of Life poured down onto the merged mass of Longevity Blood and Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, nourishing this yet-to-be-born life.

Meanwhile, Dao Runes appeared on the Pillar of Life. Endless Dao Runes flew forth with the speed and skill of divine craftsmanship, seemingly sculpting the mass. They branded it with the Mystical Meaning of heaven and earth and the traces of Wan Wu, thereby constructing an order of Laws!

Finally, the Life Furnace poured down its Fire of Life. This fire did not incinerate, but nurtured. The merged mass was like a newly molded piece of pottery, and the Fire of Life’s purpose was to solidify and refine its shape!

CLANG—CLANG—CLANG— As the Refinement took place, the physique residing in Li Qiye’s chest suddenly emitted a glow. This glow was formed from the physique’s own Order Laws. The clanging Order Laws instantly locked onto the mass of Longevity Blood and Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, connecting it to the physique.

In the blink of an eye, the Order Laws connected the physique. In that instant, it communicated with the physique, the True Destiny, and the mortal flesh, linking the three as one. A boundless radiance burst from Li Qiye’s body, illuminating him until he was transparent.

At this moment, one could see that within Li Qiye’s body—on every tendon and bone, in every drop of blood and piece of flesh—was a complex and immense Heaven and Earth Dao Pattern, as if this was the true Origin of the physical body.

CLANG! The boundless light suddenly collapsed inward. As the physique, True Destiny, and mortal flesh became one, the merged mass of Longevity Blood and Essence of Heaven and Earth acted like a bottomless pit. It devoured the endless light from his body, and this light, carrying the imprints of his mortal flesh, was absorbed into the essence and branded upon it.

After an unknown amount of time, with another CLANG, this mass of essence left the Life Palace. It was pulled by the Order Laws into Li Qiye’s chest. The Prison Suppressing Divine Body, which had previously occupied his entire chest, no longer did so. It shifted to one side, making room for the newcomer.

At this moment, something incredible happened. The newly forged essence actually took on the embryonic form of a physique. It settled next to the Prison Suppressing Divine Body, one on the left and one on the right, each occupying one side of his chest.

The process was exceedingly long. However, Li Qiye waited patiently, nurturing it with care. Only when this second physique began to take its initial form did Li Qiye secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

One body, two physiques. This was something the world could not even imagine. But Li Qiye’s ambition extended far beyond this!

Since time immemorial, the Four Symbols of the Destiny Palace have been an unsolved mystery for countless Cultivators. Many have explored the true Mystical Meaning of the Four Symbols, and countless people have investigated their true purpose.

In this respect, Li Qiye had gone much, much further. It could be said that he had poured endless effort into this research, which laid the foundation for him to groom an invincible giant like the Black Dragon King, a being with a Dual Immortal Body.

For any Cultivator, one’s physique is unique and singular! But Li Qiye could actually forge one. He had explored the Mystical Meaning of the Four Symbols of the Destiny Palace and spent countless eons creating a Supreme Immortal Scripture. The ”Ten Thousand Forms, One Thought” he created allowed him to use the Four Symbols to forge a second physique—or even a third!

Using Longevity Blood and the essence of one’s True Destiny as the foundation; having the Tree of Life grant it Spirit Communication, the Water of Life nurture it, and the Pillar of Life forge its laws; connecting it to the mortal flesh and True Destiny via the original physique; and branding it with the Origin patterns of the mortal flesh... after countless cycles of nurturing and Refinement, a new physique could finally be forged!

This process was extremely difficult and required an immense amount of Life Force to support it. This meant that forging a new physique had incredibly high requirements for one’s constitution, the Four Symbols of the Destiny Palace, and so on.

Before this, Li Qiye possessed a Mortal Body and Mortal Fate. Although he was confident he could forge a second physique in the future, he was well aware that with his body and aptitude, it would have required a much longer time and a more painful tempering process. Still, Li Qiye had faith in himself; he was absolutely certain he could endure it.

However, after obtaining the nourishing Creation of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Liquid, forging a new physique became much less difficult. Though the Heaven and Earth Primordial Liquid’s Creation made creating a second physique easier, Li Qiye’s ambition did not stop there.

If he still had his Mortal Body and Mortal Fate, forging a third physique would have been incredibly difficult. Back when the Black Dragon King was young, his innate talent was also quite good. Li Qiye later used countless Treasures of Heaven and Earth for his Creation. Unfortunately, even back then, they had still not found the Heaven and Earth Primordial Liquid!

Despite this, the Black Dragon King ultimately succeeded in forging a second physique, eventually achieving a Dual Immortal Body.

Now that Li Qiye had the nourishing Creation from the Heaven and Earth Primordial Liquid, his ambition would not stop at a second physique! He would forge a third. In the future, he would shatter the Black Dragon King’s miracle!

”Ten Thousand Forms, One Thought—” Finally, as he watched the second, now-embryonic physique being nurtured in his chest, Li Qiye couldn’t help but let out an emotional sigh.

To create this Immortal Scripture, he had traveled the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. He had pursued it tirelessly through one era after another and had made countless attempts. In the end, his hard work paid off. He finally succeeded, grooming a miracle like the Black Dragon King with his Dual Immortal Body.

It could be said that this was one of the things he was most proud of over the past millions of years!

Of course, ordinary people wouldn’t even dare to dream of such a thing. Never mind Saint Venerables or Saint Emperors; even those ancient titans would be shocked if they learned of it.

A Great Success Immortal Body was already an incredible achievement. A Great Sage with a Great Success Immortal Body could even contend with an Immortal Emperor! So what would happen if a person possessed two Great Success Immortal Bodies?

The answer was obvious. Look at the Black Dragon King of the past. He was revered across three generations, and even reigning Immortal Emperors would treat him with respectful distance. Though an Immortal Emperor was Wudi, they were unwilling to make an enemy of him!

Then what about three Immortal Bodies? This was a question that would likely never have an answer. If one were to succeed in forging three Immortal Bodies, it would shatter the Black Dragon King’s miracle. As for how powerful such a being would become, the people of the world simply couldn’t imagine it.

Only Li Qiye knew. Three Immortal Bodies! This would be an event that would shake the past and dazzle the present. He eagerly awaited it. If that day truly came, he would have broken his own record, shattered his own miracle, and created yet another.

Finally, Li Qiye silently took out an item. It was an Ancient Box, the one he had obtained from the Celestial Dao Academy. He had repelled the academy’s enemies and wiped out the secret alliance, and in return, the Celestial Dao Academy had agreed to give this item to him.

He opened the Ancient Box and looked at its contents, remaining silent for a long time. At last, he let out a soft sigh. After a long while, he closed the Ancient Box.

Li Qiye looked into the distance, falling silent. His trip to the East Hundred Cities was more or less over. It was time for him to leave. There were some things he needed to do, some matters he had to figure out!

The secrets involved were things outsiders could never know. They were related to far too much—perhaps even the origin of a certain race!

Li Qiye couldn’t help but fall silent again. Millions of years had passed like flowing water. How many invincible War Generals had pledged their loyalty to him? How many peerlessly stunning women had stayed by his side, following him as he swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!

In the end, he still walked the Great Dao alone.

”All of this... will end eventually!” Finally, Li Qiye gazed into the far distance and said slowly, ”Even if one is undying and immortal, eternal and inextinguishable... whether it’s the Azure Heaven or antiquity itself, one day, all of it will end at my hands!”

This was a promise Li Qiye made to himself, and a promise he made for those who had once followed him!
