Chapter 716: Lightning Field

"Boom!" The old mark rushed out from the pillar in the fate palace and instantly stood guard in front of Li Qiye. A series of thumping sounds emerged as the mark turned into multiple universal laws that were seemingly made out of divine metal.

These laws intertwined into a supreme chapter. With a buzzing sound, the book transformed into a spatial vortex that instantly began to swirl.

"Rumble!" The swirling spatial vortex created a terrifying gravitational pull. Even the waves of lightning lost control and were sucked into this vortex.

The treefather was also astounded after seeing this. He had suppressed this lightning before; at that time, they gravely injured him. He was well aware of their power. Not to mention Li Qiye, even Virtuous Paragons would not be able to use their most powerful law to withstand it, let alone absorb them.

The treefather shuddered at Li Qiye's intention of devouring this lightning. This was a grand tribulation from the high heavens! Even a Godking like himself wouldn't be able to do so; this person's ambition was too great.

He didn't know that the mark from Li Qiye’s pillar of life was not ordinary. Li Qiye had obtained an ancient and heaven-shattering mark from the world tree. After a long and boring period of refinement, he was able to turn it into a heaven-defying chapter as well as the most mysterious mark. This runic chapter, combined with his pillar of life, could be considered a whole new dao epoch!

To use this dao beginning to open a space that belonged to his pillar of life and absorb the lightning was something only Li Qiye could do.

As Li Qiye devoured even more lightning, the spatial vortex seemed to have reached its maximum capacity. Waves of lightning then appeared inside the pillar of life as explosions appeared everywhere. Without a doubt, the more lightning he absorbed, the closer his pillar of life came to the brink of collapse since it couldn't handle the endless waves of lightning.

Even more crackles could be heard as lightning rampaged through his body. Some small sparks even exploded from his body, creating even more detonations.

In an instant, a burning smell could be found emanating from Li Qiye's body. It seemed that Li Qiye had reached his limit. The lightning aimed to burn him to a crisp.

After smelling this scent, the treefather became worried and quickly asked: "Young Noble Li, are you okay?"

"Open!" Li Qiye roared. With another explosion, a bunch of fate palaces appeared above his head amidst the action. A series of rumbles resounded as if his pillar of life was becoming even larger and shot up towards the sky!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The moment all of his fate palaces appeared, the power of the spatial vortex soared exponentially. It crazily devoured all the lightning like a funnel. Eventually, all the lightning was absorbed by this void.

The beginning was only a test. At this moment, Li Qiye let go of all caution and opened all of his fate palaces, allowing his pillar to absorb the endless lightning.

"Twelve fate palaces…" The moment all of his palaces appeared, the treefather's expression greatly shifted. Twelve palaces, unique among all eons!

"Wait, not right…" Very quickly, the treefather was able to see the thirteenth palace soaring above the rest as if it was hiding in the clouds.

"Thirteen palaces!" The treefather quickly went from feeling shocked to being aghast. Even an apex existence like himself who lived for many years and had seen countless miracles was frightened. He needed to take several steps back from the jolt.

In an instant, his old pair of eyes opened wide while gazing at the thirteenth palace hovering above all the others. He even rubbed his eyes since he thought he was only seeing things.

However, after rubbing his eyes for a while, the thirteenth palace was still there, meaning that it was not only in his mind!

"This… This… is not possible…" The treefather couldn't accept what his eyes were telling him. He took a deep breath and tried to soak in this reality.

He had never seen a cultivator with twelve palaces before. As for eleven, he had only heard of some geniuses opening this many and never saw it with his own eyes. He had once seen a youngster open ten palaces. This youth was extremely brilliant and was considered the number one genius of the Stone Medicine World during that era. Although he didn't become an Immortal Emperor, he was able to reach the peak and become an invincible master.

But today, the treefather not only saw twelve palaces, he also saw a thirteenth! Any cultivator with the slightest sliver of common sense would know that twelve palaces was the limit. Since the start of time, even Immortal Emperors were not able to break through the limit of twelve palaces!

Moreover, having twelve palaces was not only unheard of, such an occurrence only belonged in the legends such as Immortal Emperor Jiao Heng. Moreover, this was only speculation from future descendants, and no one actually knew the truth.

The treefather looked at Li Qiye's thirteenth palace as if he was looking at a ghost. He was truly frightened! If someone had twelve palaces, then the treefather would definitely value such a person since they would become the next Immortal Emperor.

But right now, Li Qiye had thirteen! Anyone would be horrified after seeing this with their own eyes, and Godkings were no exceptions.

The treefather became absent-minded while looking at the palace and murmured: "Thirteen palaces, a unique miracle throughout the eons, unprecedented and unchallenged for all eternity…"

At this second, he understood where Li Qiye's confidence came from. Anyone with thirteen palaces would definitely become an Immortal Emperor. Everyone else, no matter how brilliant they might be, would only be eclipsed by him.

He was at a loss for words as he understood why the arrogant Li Qiye said to not compare him to just anybody.

With thirteen palaces, he truly had the ability. No matter if it was Celestial Being Ye Qingcheng or Imperial Edge Mei Aonan, both of them would eventually be overshadowed by him.

While Li Qiye crazily absorbed the lightning, bolts of lightning would occasionally flash above Allpine Mountain. Many guests didn't know what was going on. Some understood that something strange was happening, but they didn't dare to delve into it.

As for the Allpine disciples, both Heavenly Kings and seclusive Virtuous Paragons had serious expressions. They didn't dare to relax, causing the atmosphere of the mountain to become quite serious. Such a change was felt by the guests despite not knowing what events were transpiring.

During this instant, at a certain place in the ancestral ground of the Alchemy Kingdom existed a palace. The Huangfu Clan Master was finally able to come to this place and see the main descendant of the imperial family, the Alchemy Kingdom Princess, Ming Yexue!

In order to enter this place, the clan master had expended countless efforts and used many connections.

The clan master couldn't see Ming Yexue's appearance since she was sitting in a pavilion that was covered by a thin veil. If he wanted to take another step forward, he would immediately be stopped by a group of old women standing guard.

The clan master obediently stood in front of the palace pavilion and bowed his head to say: "The 193rd Huangfu Clan Master greets Fairy Ming. Fairy Ming is the most brilliant jewel of our Stone Medicine World and the pride of our Alchemy Kingdom. The Huangfu Clan is also proud of you. Just imagine that year, when the Ming Clan's Sacred Saint married a member of our Huangfu Clan…"

Although the Huangfu Clan claimed to be related to Ming Yexue, and when Huangfu Hao was alive, he even told others that Ming Yexue was his little cousin, the Huangfu Clan didn't dare to carelessly bring up this relation in front of her. After all, their connection was quite thin. It could even be said that the two sides hadn't contacted each other for a long time.

If the clan master imprudently brought up this connection and made Ming Yexue unhappy, then it would be quite disadvantageous for the Huangfu Clan. Although their clan's power was mighty, it was nothing compared to the imperial family.

"What business does Huangfu Clan Master have to see me?" A very pleasant voice came from inside the pavilion to interrupt the clan master's flattery and his attempt to build a relationship.

"Dear Fairy, my Huangfu Clan is weak and was bullied by others. The human brute, Li Qiye, has no restraint. He openly insulted the Alchemy Kingdom and our imperial family. My Hao'er tried to stop this injustice to protect our Alchemy Kingdom's reputation, thus he quarreled against the brute, Li Qiye. Who would have thought that this brute was so vicious and actually killed Hao'er! He even declared his intention to destroy the Alchemy Kingdom…"

Chapter 717: Dispelling The Tribulation

According to the clan master's narrative, Li Qiye had become a heinous murderer who wanted to become enemies with the Alchemy Kingdom and bring about its destruction. As for his son, Huangfu Hao became a heroic martyr, sacrificing himself for the Alchemy Kingdom's reputation. Even before his death, his son was still completely loyal to the kingdom…

"I have heard your words." The pleasant voice from the pavilion responded. Although one couldn't see her figure, they could easily imagine just how pretty she was from her voice alone.

Ming Yexue continued: "Huangfu Clan Master can return now. The Alchemy Kingdom will deal with this matter."

"But…" The Huangfu Clan Master wanted more than just this after spending so much effort for this audience.

"Please return." The voice inside the pavilion no longer said anything else. An old woman inside the palace stopped the clan master and turned him away.

What else could the clan master do? Even a character like him didn't dare to act recklessly in this place.

After he left, an old woman's voice asked the figure inside the pavilion: "Young Lady wishes to deal with this problem?"

"I'm clear of what the Huangfu Clan wants." Ming Yexue replied: "Huangfu Hao courted death. There are some people that he couldn't afford offending in this world."

"Let them deal with this themselves, the Huangfu Clan isn't a commendable sect anyway." The old woman commented.

In response, Ming Yexue mused: "The Huangfu Clan will not give up so easily. They do have some influence in the Alchemy Kingdom."

"If they dare to act recklessly, then they are wishing for their own destruction!" Stated the old woman coldly.

"Boom boom!" In the deepest underground crevice of Allpine Mountain, the last lightning bolt in this location was finally absorbed by Li Qiye.

At this time, the pillar of life inside Li Qiye's fate palaces was full of crackling lightning. At this moment, Li Qiye appeared to be a thunder god as lightning ran through his body.

He couldn't help but sigh as he withdrew the spatial vortex since he was finally successful. Li Qiye had analyzed the treefather's tribulation before. He had other methods of repelling the remnants of this tribulation, but it would require more time. By using the ancient runes and absorbing this lightning field, it became much simpler. Moreover, by doing so, he would become something akin to a thunder god with mighty power.

The treefather also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled after seeing Li Qiye's success; it was as if a load was lifted off his back. Li Qiye didn't only save him, but also the entire Allpine Mountain. More importantly, he was now free to roam the nine worlds without any restrictions. It was time for him to see the outside world!

After cutting off his main root, he could only live for one more generation. The moment his lifespan withered, he would die just like other cultivators. However, he had no regrets.

He had lived for many years and had several generations of dao. He himself had reached the top and was capable of looking down on all beings. At the same time, he had disciples everywhere, and many were quite famous.

Ultimately, not being able to leave Allpine Mountain for millions of years due to being rooted here was quite a shame. Thus, this action of his was without any regrets even if he had to die sooner.

"This is…" After the lightning field was absorbed, the surroundings became empty. However, Li Qiye found an item floating there.

Li Qiye reached out and grabbed the item. When he opened his palm for a look, he noticed that it was quite small and resembled an eye. Moreover, it was not an ordinary eye; it appeared to be composed of numerous arcs of lightning woven together.

It seemed that innumerable arcs of lightning — like silk strings — wove together to form this eye, and occasionally, thunder would explode from within the eye. This created quite a majestic spectacle like the opening of an endless sky filled with lighting — quite unfathomable.

The treefather looked at this thunderous eye and asked with surprise: "What is this thing?"

He had previously been suppressing this life reduction tribulation, but he didn't know that there was such an item in this place.

"A bit interesting." Li Qiye also looked at it for a while without saying anything else. Moments later, he put away this thunderous eye and told the treefather: "Congratulations, Treefather. From now on, the sky is free for you to soar and the sea is free for you to dive. The nine worlds might be vast, but you are free to roam as you please to witness their beautiful spectacles."

"This is all thanks to Young Noble." The treefather couldn't help but smile. He could finally freely travel across the nine worlds, so he held an irrepressible excitement in his heart.

Li Qiye also smiled and said: "In the future, you won't just be traveling in the nine worlds. You will follow me to sweep through the ten worlds and myriad realms. I will lead you to the apex, to step into the mysterious realm that even Immortal Emperors chase after. One day, you will understand just how vast and mighty this magnificent world is. You will definitely not waste your last generation."

The treefather couldn't contain his emotions. He took a deep breath and solemnly nodded: "When we sweep through the realms in the future, my old bones will be the first to rush forward at your command!" Prior to this, the treefather swore loyalty to Li Qiye due to having to fulfill his part of the transaction.

But now, everything changed. After seeing Li Qiye's thirteenth palace, the treefather immediately understood something about the future. An extraordinary Immortal Emperor would rise, one never-before-seen and never to reappear, one that would even surpass Immortal Emperor Jiao Heng and Empress Hong Tian!

Because of this, his last words came from his heart, a true oath of loyalty to Li Qiye.

Li Qiye chuckled and said: "That future is still very far from now. Let us create a glorious era together in the future. Your birthday is about to come, so go ahead and celebrate it first."

"Young Noble will be the most distinguished guest at my birthday." The treefather laughed freely. His mood was especially good since all of his past worries had been swept away.

"I don't have a grand gift for your birthday." Li Qiye smiled and said: "However, I can pass down another part of the Emperor Suppression Art to you, allowing you to progress one step further!"

"Another legacy of Empress Hong Tian!" The treefather was shocked after hearing this. Empress Hong Tian was definitely one of the strongest emperors in history. Since he cultivated the Emperor Suppression Art, he naturally understood just how powerful her legacy art was.

"That's right." Li Qiye nodded and said: "However, the condition is that I need to first see your Emperor Suppression Art. You won't think that I am trying to swindle your art, will you?" Li Qiye chuckled after saying this.

The treefather smiled and said: "If Young Noble needs the Emperor Suppression Art, then you wouldn't need to resort to trickery. I am willing to hand it over to Young Noble since, in your hands, it will shine even more brilliantly in the future!"

These words were truly sincere. With thirteen palaces, Li Qiye cultivating his legacy would be a cause for joy. In the future, this would let his legacy flourish and be celebrated for ages to come.

Li Qiye smiled and didn't say anything else. He only quietly sighed inside. By using the treefather's Emperor Suppression Art, he could find the old legacy of the empress. He personally trained her in the past, so how could he not understand her legacy?

However, even if he was able to find it, he didn't want to cultivate or use this legacy. Outsiders wouldn't understand the matters between him and the empress.

Madam Zi Yan heaved a sigh of relief after seeing her Young Master return with the treefather. She quickly went up to meet them and earnestly asked: "Young Master, was it successful?"

Li Qiye slightly nodded and didn't say anything else. The madam was happy to see him like this. Her Young Master was able to deal with the treefather's problem which meant that the treefather would pledge loyalty to him. Who could stop her Young Master when he had a Godking under his banner?

Li Qiye bade farewell to the treefather and returned to their valley in the carriage with the madam.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the mountains were ecstatic to hear the treefather was finally able to resolve his life reduction tribulation. The atmosphere of the entire mountain immediately turned joyous.

Before this, the disciples planned this special birthday for the treefather for two reasons. First, it was to let outsiders know that their ancestor was still fine. The second was to hold the grandest birthday celebration for him because they didn't know how long he could hold out for. Because of this, while he was still alive, they decided to hold this celebration in his honor for living 500,000 years!

But now, the winds had turned. Two happy events were simultaneously being celebrated in one occasion, so how could the disciples not be excited? All of a sudden, lanterns were lit up and decorative banners could be found as far as the eye could see, causing the atmosphere to be quite lively.

Although the guests didn't know what had happened, they could clearly sense the change of atmosphere.
