Emperor’s Domination

”

“Its not a bad thought, unfortunately, you are not me.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“Thats why I have worked hard to become someone like you. After all, my cultivation is still weak after just three generations, not being able to reign the nine worlds just yet. It looks like I have let you down.” Gu Zun replied truthfully.

“Forget it, no need to talk about this.” Li Qiye shook his head: “My main goal this time in the Grand Sea is taking your life. Since you have chosen on walking the dark path, I shall let you use all your means and ace cards now, so that you wont be dying a regretful death.”

“Thank you. Let us finish this matter then.” Gu Zun respectfully cupped his fist.

“Clank!” The entire field was locked the moment Gu Zun finished speaking. An iron curtain surrounded the whole place with the two and the palace inside.

Li Qiye wasnt afraid at all. He carefully observed the curtain and commented: “Flawless craftsmanship, cast from the iron of the earth vein. It grew together with the vein and after a long period of gestation, it had taken roots with the vein for symbiosis.”

“This is all thanks to your guidance.” Gu Zun didnt become complacent: “You have taught me the art of smelting before so I gave it a try. Im glad youre not disappointed.”

“You still want me to open the treasury.” Li Qiye glanced at the palace and understood Gu Zuns intention.

“I truly want to widen my horizon. Your treasury has been here for a long time. After careful rumination, this treasury was now connected with the earth vein. Without your key, it is impossible to open it. So, I used the arts you have taught me back then and used the earth iron as the base in order to connect this curtain with the earth vein as well. After years of harmonization, my experiment was a success.”

“Hmm, indeed.” Li Qiye agreed: “A very clever design. If I want to leave by breaking down this curtain, I have to open the treasury first. Or, just opening the treasury would automatically remove the curtain as well. This is indeed the finest craftsmanship in the nine worlds. This technique, this planning, this refinement technique… how many people can actually achieve this type of symbiosis with the earth vein?”

If outsiders were to listen to this conversation, they would think the two were discussing a profound art. Who would think that these two were about to kill each other?

Gu Zun respectfully cupped his fist at the praise again.

Li Qiye smiled and looked at Gu Zun: “You want to see the key, right?”

“Yes.” Gu Zun nodded: “Your treasury is unique, the other treasures in the world are mere scraps in comparison. I have coveted your treasury for a long time, you wont be so stingy as to not let me see it?”

Gu Zun didnt try to hide his intent at all. There was no need to do so before Li Qiye since nothing could elude his eyes.

“Are you not afraid of me killing you first?” Li Qiye teased.

Gu Zun didnt become afraid: “I know youre not so ordinary. In your eyes, I am a dead man, it is only a matter of time. I havent used my ace card so you wont be killing me just yet. Im confident you will open the treasury first.”

“How fun.” Li Qiye praised: “Fine, since you want it so bad, what else can I say? Its not like I cant let you see it, but, the key is not on me.”

“From what I know about you, Your Excellency, as long as your soul and sea of memories are there, it will not be a problem. Your sea of memories isnt only empowered by brother-in-laws group but also by many other existences. Because of this, it can easily open this treasury.” Gu Zun slowly commented.

Li Qiye gently shook his head: “No, you dont understand. What Im saying is, the key is not on me. You have the key.”

“Your Excellency, your joke isnt funny at all. If I had the key, I wouldnt need to wait till now.” Gu Zun shook his head.

To which Li Qiye responded in a serious manner: “Im not joking around. I dont have the key, the real key has always been on you. You, yourself, is the key.”

“Impossible!” Gu Zun couldnt remain calm at this moment. He took one step back with his eyes narrowing.

In this split second, he came up with a frightening possibility!
