Emperor's Domination

Fleeting smiled wryly and continued: “I heard these progenitors are still alive.”

“Is there any proof?” Six-style asked.

“They didn’t participate in Old Pact Strike.” Fleeting said.

“See, doesn’t it feel better to just let everything out?” Li Qiye smiled and stared at him.

Although Li Qiye was only a mortal, Fleeting still shuddered from fear.

“Fine, fine, I get it.” Fleeting said: “The old man in my house when I was young kept talking about wanting to find people, something about Old Pact Strike and the lucky survivors.”

“So is that what you’re doing here?” Six-style asked.

“It has nothing to do with me, I’m just a drunkard.” Fleeting shrugged and drank again: “The old man kept on blabbering about the surviving progenitors of Five-element Mountain. Only Purelotus Wood Ancestor participated then.”

“Did these progenitors survive Devil Desolate and Immortals Slaughtered too?” Six-style thought about something else.

If Devil Desolate was just a warm-up, then Immortals Slaughtered was a war like no other. I spanned an era in Three Immortals and involved all dao lineages.

Countless emperors and progenitors went down, the same for the primal ancestors. Rumor has it that ninety percent or so of ancient progenitors were either killed or never seen again.

“I’m not sure what came afterward.” Fleeting said.

“Five-element Mountain was a part of Ancient Society. If they were alive and didn’t participate in the war, it meant they had a more important mission.” Li Qiye said.

“You know this too, Young Noble?” Fleeting was shocked again.

“You know quite a bit as well.” Li Qiye smiled.

Six-style stared at Fleeting, aware that he had an important piece of information regarding the non-participants from FIve-element Mountain.

“Just a little bit.” Fleeting had an embarrassed smile and took another sip to hide it.

“You’re right, this possibility is high.” He added.

“Old Pact Strike’s purpose is to kill the reincarnation of Moshi.” Six-style assessed the situation: “Now looking back, Five-element Mountain might have been the one to start it, or at least it served as a communication point. The issue is, why didn’t its progenitors join? What could have been more important than killing Moshi’s reincarnation? This is something we don’t know.”

“Wait, stop.” Fleeting waved his hand and denied the situation: “Fellow Daoist, don’t go down this road. You make it sound as if Five-element Mountain tricked everyone with this Old Pact Strike, it wasn’t the case, definitely not.”

“You sure like to defend Five-element Mountain.” She remarked.

“It’s just the truth, the progenitors had a different mission.” He smiled wryly.

“What mission?” She pressed on.

“Well, hard to say, descendants didn’t have a good idea. I heard some more legends…” He scratched his head and mused.

“I have never heard of your legends, neither did others.” She interjected.

“It must have been from the old man then.” He corrected himself and went on: “The mission might be related to Enigma Grotto.”

“Impossible!” She blurted due to the elusive nature of this location. Their dynasty had records of its importance but nothing about its nature and location.

“I know how important it is to your dynasty, and that these loops can open it.” He glanced at Li Qiye’s arm.

“What do you think, Young Noble?” He asked Li Qiye, the current owner. If anything, this mysterious mortal might know how to enter the grotto.

Li Qiye shook his head and said: “It might not be able to open it, and the grotto might not be what you two are thinking of.”

“Young Noble, do you know the purpose of the grotto?” Six-style didn’t expect this response and asked.

In her dynasty, people believed it might be a great treasury with incredible weapons and treasures. It allowed Enigma to rise again after each destruction.

“Given its secretive circumstances, it’s waiting for the right person to open it.” Li Qiye shook his head and gazed into the distance, having a good grasp of the key points now.

“You know how to open it, Young Noble.” She understood the key point.

Li Qiye only smiled and didn’t say anything.

Fleeting had another big gulp and said: “It must be a secret from ancient times, that’s why the progenitors were searching for it.”

“Are you sure?” Six-style asked for confirmation.

“Not quite.” Fleeting said: “I just know about the connection. Maybe after finding the grotto, we’ll be able to find them as well.

“The deduction is incorrect.” Li Qiye smiled without pointing out the mistake: “I can open it, but I need to retrieve something first.”

“Please proceed, Young Noble.” Fleeting pointed at the dao platform.

“Activate!” Li Qiye approached and shouted.

A primordial light activated the dao runes on the ordinary platform. Images of a separate domain filled with majestic mountains and clouds. The five elements were seen at work here.

“Is this how it used to be?” Six-style was amazed.
