Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 6961

[Chapter 6882 Heart of the World]

(Fourth update today!!!)

At this point, Li Qiye gently patted her shoulder and said with a smile: “I also want to thank you, at least you didn’t embarrass me. I sent you up here, at least you stayed true to yourself and didn’t do anything depraved, which made my efforts not in vain. Otherwise, what I have done in these long years would be in vain.”

“I will remember everything you said, teacher.” The woman narrowed her eyes, revealing a sweet look, and said, “Beyond life and death, there is also the heart of Tao, so I have always been steadfast and have not wavered in the slightest.”

“So, I have to thank you too.” Li Qiye smiled and gently combed her hair, which was so smooth.

He smiled and said, “You already know the mystery of time and can embrace time, but you did not enter time to take advantage of it, nor did you take advantage of time to strengthen yourself. Instead, you are willing to come here to suffer and let your heart of Tao be polished.”

“I still have some shortcomings.” The woman was also cheerful and said with a smile: “I am willing to use my own heart of Tao to illuminate and shine on this tiny place to fight against the darkness and polish my heart of Tao. I hope to achieve great perfection soon. Only in this way can I keep up with your footsteps, teacher.”

“You didn’t disappoint me.” Li Qiye put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, “The shortcut was right in front of you, but you didn’t take it. Instead, you took the most solid and most depressing path.”

“Because the teacher has always been teaching students.” The woman said: “If I can’t even do this, then how can I keep up with the teacher? For a student, if he can’t keep up with the teacher, then what’s the point of becoming an immortal, and what’s the meaning of ascending to the beginning? They are all just illusions.”

At this point, the woman looked up, looked at Li Qiye seriously, and said: “I just want to keep up with the teacher’s footsteps. I will follow as far as the teacher goes, and keep going.”

“You can do it.” Li Qiye looked at her and couldn’t help but feel relieved. He nodded gently and said, “I know you can do it.”

“Because the teacher is always here.” The woman leaned on Li Qiye’s shoulder and said with a smile.

At this moment, she smiled so happily, so joyfully, just like a little girl, smiling innocently. At this moment, she had no desires or requests, because at this moment, she already had everything.

“Teacher, you wouldn’t come here just to look at me, would you?” After a long while, the girl looked up and said.

Li Qiye smiled and said, “What if I just came to see you?”

“No matter what, the students are happy,” the woman said with a smile.

Li Qiye laughed, shook his head gently and said, “Because this is the key to everything.” Then he took out the shrine.

“This thing…” The woman saw the shrine and couldn’t help but take it and look at it, studying it carefully.

“When I was in the World Guardian Alliance, I heard you say something.” The woman couldn’t help but say, “The Zhongnan Divine Emperor should be after this thing.”

“So, some things are always so tempting, and people can’t help but be greedy.” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head gently.

“What is the use of this thing?” The woman thought about it carefully, but was still not sure.

“You are here and have lit up your heart of Tao. How do you feel about that?” Li Qiye looked at the woman and said with a smile.

The woman couldn’t help but look up at the Dao Heart Fire jumping on the Taichu Tree. She stretched out her hand, and saw the Dao Heart Fire jumping onto her palm, jumping non-stop like a little elf.

“The sages’ strong faith in Taoism is also admired by the younger generations.” The woman withdrew her hand and said to Li Qiye.

“Besides that?” Li Qiye smiled, looking at the woman, and said slowly: “You have been here for so long, honing your Dao heart for so long, do you feel the difference here?”

“Does it count if there is a rhythm?” The woman couldn’t help but think carefully. After a long while, she looked at Li Qiye seriously but was not sure. She said, “This is a very deep-rooted, very weak rhythm. It is difficult to sense.”

“What do you do after you find out?” Li Qiye said to her with a smile.

“It’s too weak. If it can grow stronger, maybe it can become a power that surpasses immortals?” The woman couldn’t help but ponder, and said: “But, it is not a state of power, it is like a heartbeat, or its rhythm provides a pulse for the world.”

“The Heart of the World.” Li Qiye smiled faintly.

“The Heart of the World—” Hearing Li Qiye say this, the woman couldn’t help but be surprised and said, “Teacher, does this thing really exist? It’s just a legend.”

“The Nine Realms don’t exist, and the Thirteen Continents don’t exist either. But, they do exist in the Heaven Realm.” Li Qiye smiled and said.

“The Heart of the World exists in the Heaven Realm?” The woman was stunned and said, “In other words, the Heart of the World in the Heaven Realm exists in the Endless Dark Realm?”

“No, it should be said that all nine major realms in the Heaven Realm have the Heart of the World.” Li Qiye smiled and said slowly, “Of course, this kind of existence is not necessarily called the Heart of the World, or the existence form of each major realm is different. In this world, it exists in the state of the Heart of the World, but in other worlds, it can exist in a certain state, or it can be a fairy tree, or something else.”

“The nine major realms all have something similar to the heart of the world.” The woman was stunned for a moment and said, “If you control the heart of this world, wouldn’t it mean you control everything in this world, the essence of heaven and earth, the power of all ways, the origin of chaos… everything in this world can be controlled in your hands?”

“It’s not that simple.” Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh. “You just said that you felt the faint rhythm, right? But, in this world’s time, in this world’s space, what did you feel?”

“I can’t feel it.” The woman thought about it carefully, shook her head gently, and said, “This world has been shrouded in darkness. The darkness is everywhere and has covered everything.”

“In fact, it is difficult to feel it without darkness. If you are not in this darkness, in the most prosperous and flourishing Red Dust Golden Immortal Realm, it would be very difficult to feel it, because the rolling red dust can also cover it. But, in the rolling red dust, in the Red Dust Golden Immortal Realm, if you really feel it, spend a long time searching and entering the world, you can still feel its rhythm – the heart of all living beings.” Li Qiye looked at the woman and said slowly.

“The faint rhythm that I can feel now, is not the heart of the world? It is the heart of all living beings?” The woman couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Yes, the Heart of All Living Things.” Li Qiye nodded gently and said slowly: “In this world, its existence form is the Heart of the World, but it is divided into three parts: the Heart of the World, the Heart of Time, and the Heart of Space.”

“The heart of the world, the heart of time, the heart of space.” The woman couldn’t help but whisper softly.

The woman raised her head, looked at Li Qiye, and said, “I did not feel the rhythm of the other two hearts, nor did I find anything.”

“You can feel the faint rhythm of the Heart of All Living Things, which is already amazing.” Li Qiye said with a smile: “In this world, although the Heart of the World is divided into three parts, the three are also one. The Heart of Time and the Heart of Space need the Heart of All Living Things to drive them. In a world without all living beings, time and space are eclipsed and lose their life color.”

“A world without sentient beings would lose its vitality,” the woman said softly. “Does that mean that the Heart of Time and the Heart of Space are both dead?”

“No.” Li Qiye shook his head gently and said, “Just like the heart of all living beings that you can feel, it is already very weak. This world originally existed in the hustle and bustle of the world, so all living beings are like the source of this world, giving it an endless flow of life and a never-ending rhythm. However, when all living beings slowly perish, the heart of the world will slowly stop, and in the end there will be only dead silence.”

“After the Devouring Alliance devoured all life, darkness enveloped the world.” The woman couldn’t help but say: “So, the hearts of all living beings gradually weakened, and eventually became silent.”

“The same is true for the heart of the entire world. It and this world complement each other.” Li Qiye said calmly: “If this world withers, it will also become silent.”

“When this world thrives, it will also become lively.” The woman understood.

“Do you know why it is easier to become an immortal in the Heaven Realm than in the Nine Realms and Thirteen Continents?” Li Qiye looked at the woman and said with a smile.

“Because of the Heart of the World?” The woman was stunned.

“Yes, because of the Heart of the World.” Li Qiye nodded gently and said, “It also complements the way of immortals. When the immortals prosper, it prospers with them. Although each main world has its own way of existence, which may not be the Heart of the World, its existence enables this world to nurture more lives and more immortals.”

“Swallowing is just killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.” The woman understood and said, “Even if swallowing can allow the Swallowing Alliance to retain more immortal power, in the end, it will only die, and there will be no successors.”

“That’s true.” Li Qiye nodded gently and said, “Any main world is full of life and endless life. Only in this way can immortals be born. Otherwise, in the end, immortals will just die.”

“There shouldn’t be immortals in this world.” The woman couldn’t help but whisper, “Immortals will also lead to the death of the world, and all living beings will eventually cease to exist.”
