Chapter 5993: So That’s How It Was

Li Qiye picked up another book - Nine-world Tales. After taking a quick look, it appeared to be geography-focused. The author was still Li Wangcai.

“The nine worlds consist of Vajra, Mortal King, Sacred Nether...” This author seemed to know everything about the nine worlds and its major events.

Li Qiye appreciated the content and only smiled when he noticed the mistakes. Just like Dark Crow Chronicles, the mistakes were minor and didn’t affect the book’s direction and overarching accuracy.

“How amusing, to know all of this while living in Three Immortals.” Li Qiye remarked.

Those who had lived in the nine worlds didn’t possess this wealth of knowledge, especially not regarding the dark crow.

Although the details and secrets were missing, the book contained all the major events. Li Qiye was the only one who could discern the inaccuracies from otherwise.

Nine-world Tales spanned numerous eras. Some places lacked details and coherence, but it depicted the general structure and flow of the nine worlds.

Li Qiye boiled a cup of tea and looked outside at the waterfall, listening to the splashing. Reading under these circumstances was perfect, not to mention the excellent quality of the tea.

He finished several cups before picking another book - On The Epochs. It shared the same author as the previous two.

“After the absolute beginning came Time Immemorial, from Indestructible to Everlasting, Buddhism first before Remote Wildland. When the wildland disappeared, Primeval emerged...”

It spoke of secrets unbeknown to the world and impressed Li Qiye. Emperors didn’t have access to this information so others had no clue about the truths within.

Li Qiye understood everything and could match the eras in the book to the actual ones.

“Incredible, others might mistake this as a work of fantasy. Who could write something like this in the mortal realms?” Li Qiye smiled.

Li Qiye woke up and took a look - a girl wearing a tight golden robe. Her curves were alluring most importantly, they exuded power. Each fiber of her being seemed eager to erupt with strength as if dragons were hiding inside.

This ultimate physical power contrasted with her feminine charm but gave her absolute freedom. Her hair was tied up high, making her look proud and confident. It seemed capable of pushing up the heaven and would not yield to any pressure.

The sparkle in her eyes could turn into countless blades sweeping across the world, delivering unbearable suppression.

She was a rare sight - gorgeous like the sun's rays and equally formidable. Unfortunately, she was covered in deep wounds with exposed bones.

Nevertheless, divinity flashed in these open wounds - a sign of her imperial cultivation or something beyond.

The most grievous wound was in her chest. The gruesome sight was covered by blood but it seemed to have been fully pierced.

She was surprised to see someone here so she focused her gaze. Thousands of divine blades manifested, capable of killing desolate gods.

Li Qiye dismissed them with a casual hand wave as if he were patting dust off his shoulder.

She trembled and wanted to channel more power to defend herself. Alas, she dropped to the ground and vomited blood from overexertion.

“Better heal them up fast or it’s over.” Li Qiye remarked.

She knew this man holding the teacup was right. Was he a friend or foe?

The urgency of the injuries made her tear off her upper gown where the wound was and take out a broken piece of treasure from her chest.

She took a deep breath - it would have been over without this defensive treasure. More blood splashed out from the wound with it gone and a strand of black energy oozed out.
