Chapter 1193: Zhuo Jianshi

In the end, Zhuo Jianshi was still someone who had experienced countless waves. She took a deep breath and answered with an elegant smile on her face: "I do not deny your claim. Many lineages in the Heaven Spirit World desire an imperial bloodline like yours. It has always been a custom for sects to pay attention to these bloodlines. The sect masters all have a responsibility to find excellent bloodlines for their sects."

"You are very eloquent." Li Qiye smiled and asked: "The old geezer from Void Imperfection wants me to stay and now you do as well. Aren't your three schools afraid of an inner conflict?"

She smiled, her mature and noble appearance made people palpitate from excitement: "Young Noble, you are misunderstanding something. Our three schools are one and the same. The Void Imperfection Schoolmaster wants to keep you behind, as do we. This is only giving Young Noble more choices, it is not a competition."

Li Qiye chuckled with his eyes closed: "If you have talked with the old geezer, you should know that I am not interested in this matter."

"We want you to stay, but this doesn't necessarily mean that you have to become our groom. You can just stay at our schools for a while if you like." Her demeanor was calm and gentle: "Maybe we should approach this differently. In my eyes, your inner physique is quite powerful, so our schools are the best choice for you. We will have a suitable physique law for you to choose."

Zhuo Jianshi was not just boasting. In the Heaven Spirit World or even all of the nine worlds, no other lineage had as many physique laws as the three schools since they had three different Immortal Physiques.

"Physique laws?" Li Qiye opened his eyes to look at her and smiled: "You have good eyesight, but as for physique laws…"

He burst out into laughter at this point.

She didn't become angry for elegance exuded from her core. She spoke softly: "May I ask for the reason behind your laughter?"

Of course, she wasn't aware that no one had more physique laws than Li Qiye in this world. He simply had them all.

"Nothing." Li Qiye replied with a grin: "Your three schools have many physique laws. Not to mention the others, just the three Immortal Physique laws alone are truly precious. The Void Imperfection Windchase Law, the Evil Devourer Graceful Law, and the Surging Golden Spring Law… these three laws can be considered peerless in this world…"

With a brief pause, he continued: "Outside of the physique laws created by Immortal Emperors, your three laws are quite rare. This is especially true for the Void Imperfection Windchase Law; it is infinitely close to perfection. This level of physique law is very rare. For example, the physique law from the Soaring Immortal Sect of Immortal Emperor Fei could be considered another."

It was truly difficult to receive such high praise from Li Qiye. After all, he had the Physique Scripture that contained all the perfect and profound laws in existence.

In fact, for cultivators, creating a physique law was even more difficult than creating an emperor law. This was one of the reasons why grand completion Immortal Physique users could assail Immortal Emperors.

The scale of difficulty soared when it came to Immortal Physique laws. There were quite a few wonderful masters who were able to create these laws, but they had defects and were incomplete. There weren't that many at a level that could be considered complete, let alone perfect.

The physique laws of the three schools were considered complete. Of course, there was still a large way to go before true perfection.

"It is thanks to our predecessors' achievements, we descendants have not been able to do anything so we need to work even harder." She answered in a demure manner without pride.

Li Qiye looked at her and smiled: "Your eyesight is not bad since it can see that my inner physique is powerful. The temptation of physique laws might work for everyone else in this world, but it is nothing to me."

For cultivators with powerful inner physiques, to be able to cultivate an Immortal Physique would be their greatest pursuit in life. They would find it impossible to refuse such a temptation.

However, he promptly added: "However, your Void Imperfection Three Schools does have something that tempts me."

"What might that be?" She became curious as well. Since Li Qiye wasn't interested in Immortal Physique laws, was there anything else in this world that was even more precious to peak his interest?

He emphatically replied: "Your Immortal Emperor Wu Gou's creation, the Windchase Break!"

Despite her normal calm demeanor, his answer shocked her: "The Windchase Break! One of the Immortal Physique Strikes!"

Immortal Physique Strikes were mysterious techniques that very few people had seen.

Legend states that only grand completion Immortal Physique emperors were able to create these attacks. Without reaching grand completion, even an Immortal Emperor wouldn't be able to do so. Conversely, grand completion users wouldn't be able to create them without having the Heaven's Will.

Because of these strict requirements, these attacks were extremely rare. Furthermore, future generations speculated that there was an additional requirement, that the emperor's physique law must be self-made. Only those who had created their own physique laws to become an emperor with a grand completion Immortal Physique would be able to develop these attacks.

There were many stories about these attacks themselves. Some said that they were more powerful than Heaven's Will Secret Laws. However, the opposition stated that these attacks couldn't oppose a secret law if its user had the Heaven's Will.

Another group speculated that a grand completion user training in these attacks could definitely ambush an Immortal Emperor. They could even contend against the emperor's secret law!

Alas, these were all guesses because there were too few Immortal Physique laws in this world and even fewer Immortal Physique Strikes. A grand completion user with these attacks was a hundred times rarer than an Immortal Emperor!

As such, no one was able to witness such a duel, especially those from the younger generations.

Zhuo Jianshi was trembling after hearing this. After all, the Windchase Strike was once the most powerful and frightening technique from her three schools. A Void Imperfection user with the Windchase Strike held unimaginable power!

"However, you lot have lost the Windchase Strike!" Li Qiye insipidly stated: "This is very regrettable and is also the reason why the Void Imperfection Three Schools lost some of its deterring influence."

Zhuo Jianshi pondered in silence for a moment. Across the generations, this had been a truly regrettable matter for their school. In fact, they had tried to look for it all this time to no avail…

She eventually calmed down and took a deep breath to look at Li Qiye: "Our schools have many disciples training in different types of physiques, including Saint and Immortal Physiques—"

"I know what you are trying to say." Li Qiye smiled and interrupted her: "An imperial bloodline combining with an Immortal Physique bloodline would make a perfect combination. If the offspring could inherit both legacies, then they might be able to surpass the old Immortal Emperor Yan Shi if they were to become an Immortal Emperor…"

"This is a great temptation for any lineage." Li Qiye continued: "However, I have never thought about spreading my bloodline to the nine worlds. Even if I were to do so, the woman must be worthy of my entrustment!"

"May I ask what kind of woman would be worthy of Young Noble Li's entrustment?" She looked at him with eyes as soft as water and directly met his gaze.

Li Qiye was still lying on the sea. He laughed and answered: "If you come have some intimate fun with me for a while, I may consider."

Such words changed her expression. They were direct and assailed her with obscenity. It was no longer teasing, this was the most straightforward call for sex!

Ultimately, she was still a schoolmaster. This direct invitation to mate was provocative to the point of being humiliating.

"Young Noble Li must be joking." She regained her composure and demure appearance to say: "I am a married woman, your request is too much of an imposition."

"I know." Li Qiye looked at her and said: "I understand the meaning of the white flower on your chest. I didn't really want to reveal your scar, but I can let you know that I don't mind you being a widow. Plus, you are still a maiden."

The lady, despite her experience, couldn't stay calm while handling this type of provocative conversation. After all, the topic was too much.

"Forget it, I was just kidding." Li Qiye flatly added: "But remember, in order to get something, one must pay for it. Without an ace, you better think carefully before doing anything. Are you all worthy of my favor?"

Such words were quite domineering. If it was someone else, they would want nothing more than to be the groom of the three schools.

Zhuo Jianshi turned quiet again in the face of this dilemma. Her schools could indeed propose some very tempting conditions. However, Li Qiye was dismissive of them all.

Chapter 1194: Mythical Divine Weapon

She eventually composed herself and looked at Li Qiye to say: "Perhaps you are interested in the great maelstrom. We may be of assistance in this respect."

After hearing this, Li Qiye opened his eyes wide. A glint shot out from within while he stared at her intensely.

She didn't know why, but the glint that flashed from his eyes frightened her in an indescribable manner. She felt like an ancient beast was awakening.

However, she met his gaze head-on for a long time without fear because she had no malicious intent in the first place.

"It seems like you have seen a few things." Li Qiye slowly said, still fixated on her.

"I wouldn't dare to hide it from you. I was at the Profound Sea that day, but it was still quite far away from the maelstrom. I only caught a glance." She nonchalantly said: "However, I didn't expect this coincidence, for you to have an imperial bloodline. Perhaps this is a type of fate."

"Fate…" Li Qiye only smiled and closed his eyes without caring too much.

"If you wish to venture into the maelstrom in the future, our three schools can help you. After all, we are part of the ancient Charming Spirit Race, we have things other lineages lack."

Li Qiye laughed while looking at her: "Little Beauty!"

She couldn't help but ask: "Young Noble, why are you laughing? If I have said something wrong, please point it out." She was negotiating with great sincerity.

"You have no idea." Li Qiye shook his head and replied: "You think that I am trying to go into the maelstrom, but the truth is that I want nothing from it."

He had already obtained the Life Origination he wanted and didn't care about the other things in there. Even if it had a few heaven-shattering secrets and incredible treasures, they still had nothing to do with him. Others were free to covet these treasures all they want.

Zhuo Jianshi found this surprising. On that day, she saw him entering the maelstrom, so she thought he had some ideas about it.

"You are mistaken about this matter, the maelstrom is meaningless to me. On the other hand, you charming spirits should pay more attention to it."

She shuddered internally and immediately asked: "What do you mean?"

Li Qiye slightly raised his brow: "Don't play this mind game in front of me or I'll rip off your clothes. If you are one of the schoolmasters from Void Imperfection, you should know a little about this."

Her heart sank a bit. Of course, it was not because of Li Qiye's threat of tearing off her clothes, it was because she had heard some legends before. There were records within the sect, but they were too vague for her to learn anything substantial.

She sincerely asked while looking at him: "I am not trying to conceal anything. The records left behind are only legends, making it quite difficult to tell whether they are accurate or not. Since you dared to enter the maelstrom, I'm sure you know more. Would you be willing to enlighten me?"

He looked at her for a moment before answering: "Even if I say more, you won't necessarily be able to distinguish its validity. I can only say that if one day something actually happens to the maelstrom, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Heaven Spirit World, especially for charming spirits!"

She curiously asked: "What kind of catastrophe?"

"That depends on the things in there. One accident will bring about a disaster, so when that day comes, run for your life, flee from the Heaven Spirit World. The farther the better." He smiled and added: "Of course, that day might also never come."

She quietly contemplated after hearing this. The maelstrom had always been a mystery, but ever since a very distant era the charming spirits had been wary of it.

"Is it true that there are supreme items within the maelstrom?" She had to ask the question that was lingering in her mind because there were too many different versions of this legend.

"Yes, truly supreme treasures." He answered: "But it also depends on what you have in mind. If you are thinking about weapons, then yes, they are indeed there."

"How do we obtain those weapons then?" She couldn't help but ask: "How do they compare to the sea demon's Trident?"

Li Qiye laughed and said: "Do you know the origin of the Trident? Or of its true power?"

She answered: "It is the supreme divine artifact of the sea demons. Those who are accepted by the Trident can become the Sea God. Its power is boundless and invincible in myriad realms and even more formidable than an Immortal Emperor True Treasure."

Sea demons were similar to treants. Their strongest existences were not Immortal Emperors; their equivalent to treefathers were called Sea Gods.

However, these unrivaled existences must be recognized by the Trident. After meeting this requirement, they would become a Sea God capable of wielding the artifact.

Historically, these supremes of the sea demons wielding the Trident could put up a good fight against an Immortal Emperor with a true treasure!

"What you know is only superficial drizzle, but there's no need to elaborate on this. Even if there are divine weapons comparable to the Trident in there, who among your race can wield such artifacts?"

With that, he finished: "Charming spirits should continue to pursue the path towards Immortal Emperor. This is the correct way. The others are only alternative methods for when there is no other choice."

Having said that, he closed his eyes again and gently waved his sleeve: "Okay, now don't bother me again."

Zhuo Jianshi sighed and stood up then bowed: "Our doors will always be open to you. Come visit us anytime."

Li Qiye seemed to have fallen asleep at this moment; it was impossible to know if he actually heard her or not.

She stopped bothering him and gently rode the waves away before disappearing completely. She was not offended by this meeting and only felt disappointment instead. This trip was essentially meaningless; in the end, she understood that her schools didn't interest him at all.

Li Qiye was still lying quietly on the sea and drifted with the flow. This process continued for a while. Eventually, he suddenly opened his eyes and drilled into the sea. A moment later, a huge trench appeared before him.

This was a small part of the Bottomless Trench distant from the previous sea region.

Li Qiye entered the trench in one go. In this split second, he released his divine intent to sweep through this area. Nothing could escape from his sense.

Eventually, he stood before a particular cliff inside the trench. There was a depression with a clam the size of a basin that occasionally spat out bubbles.

It looked quite ordinary. The only thing worth noticing was the pearl within it, emitting a faint light.

Li Qiye smiled upon the sight of the clam and the pearl: "It really isn't easy to find this pathfinder clam. Only by following the current of the ocean would one be able to eventually find this clam and the correct path."

Li Qiye was drifting with the sea in order to catch this type of clam.

Of course, there were countless clams in the Jade Sea and the Bottomless Trench. One could find as many as they wanted. However, very few clams were capable of pathfinding.

In the past, he had searched and caught many clams before finally learning the mysteries within and understanding their usage. With the successful capture, he identified the correct direction and headed back to Shallow Beach.

His trip here was to find two things in order to replenish the life of the Peacock Tree. One of them was the Void Imperfection Spring inside the ancestral whale while the other was hidden in another secret location.

This was precisely why he needed this pathfinder clam; he needed it to find the second well-concealed item since a thoughtless search would yield no results.
