Chapter 5902: When Gazing At The Abyss
“How about it?” Li Qiye patted it again.
The cloud stared at him, becoming cautious again.
“Not this again, mistrusting your good friend. You can’t go on like this, your best option is to find a companion.” Li Qiye said: “I’m not going to trick you since there’s nothing in it for me. In fact, your safety only benefits me.”
The cloud thought that if Li Qiye had malicious intent, he would have acted way earlier instead of waiting until now.
It glanced up at the sky, still unwilling to make the trip.
“Scared of Heavenrealm?” Li Qiye nodded: “Yes, it is drastically more dangerous than this world. The strongest cultivators here are mere ants there, so if someone knows of your true uses, they will maneuver and capture you.”
The cloud didn’t appreciate being viewed as a helpless damsel and glared at Li Qiye.
“I’m not looking down on you, it’s just that those old geezers living virtually endlessly have some incredible methods and the right to be arrogant. I wonder if they will survive the sweep.” Li Qiye said.
The cloud glanced at the sky again, seemingly searching for the villainous heaven.
“It won’t be a problem, the strongest cultivators in history who call themselves true immortals still do not dare to underestimate the villainous heaven. It has plenty of ace cards, any of which can kill these true immortals or whatever.” Li Qiye smiled.
The cloud nodded again, having some insight into the villainous heaven’s arsenal.
“But certain things are different.” Li Qiye commented: “The deterrence has weakened so they became restless, aiming to make big moves.”
“The true self won’t show up without a fight, there’s no need to think about this.” Li Qiye shook his head in response.
The cloud thought about it and agreed. Otherwise, everything would have been rewritten long ago.
“But yes, this is a good opportunity with the tribulation emissary extinguished, a small gap is there. Therefore, the old men cannot wait any longer.” Li Qiye said.
The cloud recalled a common saying among mortals - strike while the iron is hot. The idea was sound.
“They are close to having an everlasting life but not quite. Their desire grows stronger and their patience wanes. This angered the high heaven, initiating the sweep.” Li Qiye said.
The cloud had a good idea of the events at this point.
“It’s good to sweep everything up at once instead of individually. Who knows if all of this was just a plan to draw out the snakes from their holes?” Li Qiye continued.
The cloud couldn’t help but stare at Li Qiye, implying something.
“I don’t know.” Li Qiye shrugged: “But this is just a minor trick. These methods are just clever schemes, not as effective as one might think. Don’t be fooled by the illusions and facades, they only give the challengers hope. In the end, it comes down to an actual fight, this is the crux of the matter.”
1. There is a new term, 报劫 - announce/inform/revenge + tribulation. From the limited context, I believe it is an entity but using emissary might be the wrong word if it turns out to not be a physical entity. All in all, this is a literal translation so it should be safe enough. ☜
2. I feel just as lost ☜
3. I’m using it instead of she/he because I can’t be sure of the sex. This applies to the high heaven too, it is both it and potentially him. There might have been some inconsistencies in it/him but both can be correct ☜
