Chapter 5790: I Am Just A Mortal

“I do feel like you can withstand its highest activation.” Jiao Heng added.

“That depends on what state you will use, going to call the heaven?” Li Qiye smiled.

“That’s a distant matter, I am but a mortal.” Jiao Heng laughed.

“Not necessarily, I can get it to come.” Li Qiye clenched his fists before adding: “It feels wrong for me to thrash you in your current state but I won’t need to hold back if it descends.”

“Sounds like you’ve been suffering a bit and want to seek inspiration from me.” Jiao Heng couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Sounds about right.” Li Qiye said: “Although you are far from your prime, I’m sure I can figure out a few things after beating you to the limit.”

“As you said, I am not in my prime, you will find no inspiration after beating me.” Jiao Heng shook his head: “Your goal lies elsewhere and as for me, I will be me, a mortal, nothing more.”

“A mortal second to none, it’s a comfortable destiny.” Li Qiye nodded with a smile.

“You can do the same thing, you are aware of the problem and can stop now to enjoy the many beauties in this world.” Jiao Heng said.

“Beautiful, yes, but will be reduced to ashes.” Li Qiye shook his head.

Jiao Heng agreed and said: “Indeed, that’s why we’ve tried so hard in the beginning to solve the unwanted calamities.”

“The inevitable will come, we can deal with the waves but there comes a time when we need to face the real problem.” Li Qiye said.

“That is where I am inferior, I believe I have done enough already and will stop now. As for you, rest is not an option.” Jiao Heng said: “Don’t you feel tired?”

“Yes, but I cannot stop for it is my pursuit. Moving forward is the only option.” Li Qiye said earnestly.

“Your dao heart has no limit, but my strength does.” Jiao Heng said.

“You don’t need to be a mortal.” Li Qiye smirked.

Jiao Heng stared at him for a second before responding: “Being a mortal is great, it is my pursuit as well. There is no need to transcend.”

Jiao Heng thought about it and let out a sigh before replying: “Perhaps you are right, but I will not let it happen.”

“Let’s wait and see.” Li Qiye smirked.

“Seems like you are confident in your speculation.” Jiao Heng chuckled.

“I dare not claim to be right, but I do have some insight into this matter. Being a mortal is not easy, being born as a mortal is fate, descending into the mortal world is not.”

“So this isn’t my fate?” Jiao Heng said: “You are trying to disturb my dao heart. If this isn’t my fate, what is it then?”

“Eternity and endless battles.” Li Qiye said meaningfully.

“That’s all in the past, far from the current me.” Jiao Heng responded.

“Being a mortal is difficult, especially for you.” Li Qiye said.

“I agree with the first part, but as a mortal, I shall do what a mortal does.” Jiao Heng said.

“There is an end to what mortals can do.” Li Qiye said.

“And I need not worry for you walk before all of us, I just need to enjoy the process.” Jiao Heng said: “We are different, your pursuit at that place is a beginning while it is an end for me.”

“An end indeed.” Li Qiye sighed and agreed with him.

“That is why I do not seek more than the current path of just becoming an emperor or an Ancestor.” Jiao Heng said earnestly.

“Can’t stay a mortal if you keep on breaking through.” Li Qiye said.

“That is indeed an issue but I haven’t thought about it yet.” Jiao Heng said.

“Shouldn’t you start thinking about it? Perhaps it only requires one step and the answer you seek awaits.” Li Qiye said. [1]
