Zhao Li still hadn't kicked his habit of fleecing others. Even with the Immortal Great Emperor right there, he still found an excuse to get some good stuff from him.
The First Emperor was very generous and immediately threw a Storage Ring to Zhao Li. Zhao Li cautiously took it but didn't examine it. He simply cupped his hands in thanks and said:
"Thank you, Senior. This junior is also doing this so Senior can see the light of day sooner. Relying solely on Dou Di, who knows when it will reach Seventh Grade? With these, it should shorten the time."
He was still a little afraid of this Old Monster.
The First Emperor was noncommittal. He looked at Zhao Li and issued an Order to Leave:
"You are shrewd. If there's nothing else, then leave."
Seeing that the First Emperor didn't seem to want to see him, Zhao Li didn't mind much. His eyes flickered as he thought for a moment. He realized he had learned secrets, gained opportunities, and even received a Method for imparting the Dao. Although he hadn't looked at it yet, based on the First Emperor's previous performance, he wouldn't lie to him.
Overall, this trip was a Great Harvest!
He suppressed the joy in his heart, said goodbye, and left:
"Thank you, Senior, for clearing up my doubts. Senior, rest assured, within my capabilities, I will definitely make the Dou Qi Continent stronger and stronger..."
The First Emperor noticed that compared to before, Zhao Li's eyes seemed to have less flippancy and more sincerity. He nodded slightly, then with a wave of his hand, sent Zhao Li away from the place. Looking at the empty surroundings, he murmured:
"What a terrifying Little Guy. He's only an Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme, yet he can make me feel unfathomable. I hope you succeed..."
After speaking, he looked at the Azure Lotus, then landed back on the huge Lotus Pedestal and fell asleep. Afterward, the place fell into eternal silence.
Outside, Yao Chen controlled Xiao Yan's body and followed Yun Shan back to the place where they found the Green Lotus Core Flame.
The surroundings were a fiery red, seemingly no different from when they left before. But enveloped by the Eerie White Flame, Xiao Yan could feel that the temperature here was much higher than last time.
Even with the Bone Chilling Flame protecting him, the Magma couldn't do anything to him. But in the fiery red Magma, Xiao Yan still felt a little nervous. On this Route of Seizing the Essence of Heaven and Earth to Create Oneself, he had only just started. Naturally, he couldn't ignore the Might of Nature.
Seeing the two Old Monsters, who in his eyes were like Immortals, looking serious, Xiao Yan felt that something big might have happened, but he didn't understand why. After a long time, he communicated with Yao Chen in his mind and asked:
"Teacher, what happened here?"
Yao Chen's Emperor Realm Soul Power spread out here, extending all the way, but he couldn't find any trace of Zhao Li for a long time. Even the Azure Lotus Root Stem that he had Xiao Yan leave before they left last time was gone. This made him feel very uneasy.
This situation meant either Zhao Li had taken the Azure Lotus Root Stem and left, or there was some secret here that he hadn't discovered. Regardless of the situation, it indicated that he seemed to have underestimated the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, he withdrew his Soul Power and replied to Xiao Yan in his mind that he didn't know. This answer surprised Xiao Yan. Ever since he became a disciple, his Master Pharmacist's image had always been Omniscient and Omnipotent. But today, in just a few short hours, what he had heard and seen could be said to have completely shattered the myth in his heart.
Yao Chen didn't bother with Xiao Yan's astonishment and turned to communicate with Yun Shan:
"Senior Brother Yun, did you notice anything?"
Although Yun Shan was only at the Dou Venerate Peak, he didn't underestimate him. He knew how terrifying Zhao Li was. Just as Xiao Yan had a filter for him, he also had a filter for Zhao Li. By extension, he felt that Zhao Li's disciples were also not simple.
But he was disappointed. Yun Shan was just a Dou Venerate Old Monster with profound Foundation. His Soul Power had only just touched the threshold of the Heaven Realm. If even his Emperor Realm Soul couldn't find something, Yun Shan had even less of a chance.
But Yun Shan did have his own method. With a gentle wave of his hand, a Jade Talisman floated in front of Yao Chen. As Yao Chen looked on with Doubt, he said:
"I don't know either, but perhaps there is Another Heaven and Earth here. The Jade Talisman has completely Lost Contact with Master."
This Jade Talisman was the latest model of the Dou Qi Continent version of a mobile phone. As long as they were on the Dou Qi Continent, even within a Pocket World, they could communicate. But when it called Zhao Li at this time, the other side was Out of Service Area...
Yao Chen wasn't too surprised by this. This result was already within his speculation. Yun Shan's words had only eliminated one option for him. As for the rest, it was no help. Then, the two fell silent.
"As expected of a Half-step Dominator. Even though I've made significant progress, I'm still completely defenseless. That Realm and Heavenly Supreme are truly a World of Difference..."
Just then, Zhao Li appeared in the Magma World without warning. He still felt awe towards the First Emperor in his heart, followed by immense gratitude.
He was grateful that he was from the Dou Qi Continent, grateful that he had taken a different Route and become a Heavenly Supreme, grateful that he was still young and full of curiosity about the world, grateful that he still had a mischievous side and had personally sought out Xiao Yan to satisfy his interest, and grateful that the First Emperor had no ill intentions...
In short, judging from how the First Emperor could effortlessly send him out of that Space without any resistance, if he hadn't been willing, no one could have obtained the Legacy from that Space.
"If I hadn't gained his recognition, perhaps I would have quietly perished there. Is this the Dominator Realm?"
Zhao Li suppressed the lingering fear in his heart and then developed a strong desire for the legendary Dominator Realm.
This is the Root of Human Weakness. A Dou Disciple wants to be a Dou Master, a Dou Master wants to be a Great Dou Master. As long as there is still a Route ahead, they will never be satisfied. Zhao Li was the same, but he was luckier than others; he had the opportunity to satisfy his desires.
His thoughts flashed through his mind just as suddenly as he had appeared in the Magma World. But the thoughts dissipated as quickly as they came. His sudden appearance, however, instantly attracted the fully alert Yao Chen and the other person. They looked at him in unison, then breathed a sigh of relief. With a flicker, they arrived by his side. Just like Xiao Yan had asked Yao Chen, Yun Shan asked the same question:
"Teacher, what happened?"
Seeing the few people, Zhao Li's heart stirred, and he asked:
"Why are you here? How long has it been since I entered this place?"
In his perception, he had spent years just comprehending the Dao within the Azure Lotus, not to mention chatting with the First Emperor for a long time and even having a fight. But he saw that Xiao Yan was still a Great Dou Master, and judging by Yun Shan and Yao Chen's appearance, they seemed to have only just arrived after being attracted by some commotion. The time outside seemed different from that Chaos Space.
Yun Shan was confused but still explained the reason to Zhao Li:
"Earlier, we felt the Earth Shaking, and we thought something might have happened to Teacher here, so we came to take a look. It hasn't even been half an hour since Teacher arrived here, by our count."
Hearing this, Zhao Li understood and thought even more highly of the Dominator's methods. Then he became quite interested in that Space. What he lacked now wasn't Time?
It would take Time to digest the Dao Principles comprehended within the Azure Lotus, integrate them into his Inner Universe, and strengthen his Universe's Foundation. The gestation of the Chaos Demon God would take Time, and the evolution and advancement of his Inner Universe would also take Time...
Frankly, as long as he persevered, Zhao Li felt that even breaking through to the Dominator Realm wouldn't be a problem!
