Chapter 5951: Ties
“I know little about it because progenitors do not exist after the calamity. Desolate Ancestor started the road of the Grand Emperors and Primal Ancestors now.” The disciple said.
“Times are changing.” Li Qiye smiled: “But yes, having two progenitors could be considered a miracle.”
“From what I know, both of these progenitors were famous, I don’t think they’re around anymore though.” The disciple said.
“Is that so?” Li Qiye gazed deep into the area again.
“Yes, one of them died in battle.” The disciple knew a fair bit about Ancient Step: “Blossom Progenitor fell in battle to Eldertree Grand Emperor, a heavenly tree turned cultivator.”
“Eldertree Grand Emperor.” Li Qiye murmured.
“Young Noble, future generations view this as a competition between two eras. One was the old path while the other was the new one started by Desolate Ancestor.” The disciple said.
“Yes, competition between two paths.” Li Qiye said. One path belonged to the three immortals while the latter was his own.
“They say within the realm of the progenitors, Blossom Progenitor was at the myriad level. I don’t know what this means since I’m more familiar with Eldertree Grand Emperor. He wasn’t an ordinary one since he had twelve dao fruits at the anima level, that’s at the top already.” The disciple said.
“So Blossom Progenitor’s loss was deserved.” Li Qiye said.
At the very least, the duck egg buyer stuck around for a bit while First Vine disappeared instantly after starting the new path.
Therefore, Desolate Ancestor was more responsible than either one, leaving a clear model and continuing to perfect it.
Her dao progress created perfect examples for everyone else, from obtaining the twelve dao fruits to creating an immortal shell and anima. From that to origination and breaking the limit to obtain a primal anima...
Not only that, she even started something for those who couldn’t walk the imperial path - Desolate Gods and Heaven Slayers, an extension of what Space Dragon Emperor and Bull-dragon Ancestor did.
Her generosity and benevolence earned her the respect of everyone in Three Immortals.
Of course, Li Qiye didn’t feel the same way. Cultivation was a personal matter; Desolate Ancestor was a benevolent soul but the duck egg buyer and First Vine shouldn’t be criticized.
“Buzz.” A divine light emanated from Ancient Step.
“Looks like an ancient portal, someone’s going to Enigma.” This surprised the members of the Chu.
“Ties with Enigma?” Li Qiye didn’t care too much.
“According to a legend, Ancient Step was once a part of Enigma before splitting off. This was because Enigma had been destroyed several times before during the reign of Dingtian and Poye. It kept rising from the ashes each time.” One of them responded.
“They have backers.” Li Qiye closed his eyes and smiled mysteriously.
