Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 2815

Chapter 2815: 2815

The students from Repentance celebrated the chance to go to Sacred Mountain . They normally wouldn’t dare to think about it but a chance was actually here .

Though there was a selection process and only the most qualified students would be able to go, this didn’t hinder the excitement . At least there was a tiny chance now, unlike the past .

After selecting the right students, Dean Du Wenrui himself led the group to Sacred Mountain .

He was afraid that others wouldn’t be able to handle this responsibility .

The chosen students have gathered early in the morning . Wenrui himself controlled a ship to take them there .

Li Qiye was the last one to arrive with Repentance on his back . [1]

His late arrival and nonchalant attitude astonished the crowd . They were ecstatic to go to Sacred Mountain and left bed very early today .

On the other hand, this guy had no reaction at all . It seemed that his brain was different from everyone else, simply slower to react .

“The fortune of a fool . ” One envious student said while looking at the sword on his back .

Of course, no one had any objection either . Holyfrost True Emperor herself couldn’t take this sword away but it had accepted Li Qiye as its master . One could only lament not having the same luck as him .

“Not a bad ship . ” Li Qiye said after boarding and looking around .

“Just a little something left behind by the ancestors . ” Wenrui smiled: “This is all that we got, can’t compare to the four great academies at all . ”

The other students didn’t pay attention to this, not noting anything peculiar about the ship .

“Okay, we’re all here . Let’s go to Sacred Mountain!” Wenrui shouted before personally holding the wheel .

“Yes!” The students cheered loudly .

Some couldn’t wait any longer and started staring ahead as if they could see the great mountain already .

“Whoosh!” The ship shot forward like an arrow with lightning-fast speed towards Sacred Mountain . Numerous students who didn’t sit tight began rolling .

Like Li Qiye said, this was a very good ship . Of course, to earn this praise from him meant that it was an incredible treasure .

The rolling students took a while to stabilize and finally realized the value of this ship . This was their first time riding something so fast .

Repentance City spanned ten million miles so they have never left their home before .

They never got a good idea of how large it actually was . Now, while crossing through the sky on this ship, they found Repentance City far bigger than their imagination . However, outside of the actual city, the other areas were desolate wildlands untouched by the light .

Du Wenrui controlled the ship without holding back, taking only a short time to leave this region .

After making it to the next area, a magnificent scene shocked the students . The light was overwhelming and omnipresent, fully illuminating the clouds and every corner of the earth .

The light still flowed during nighttime in the form of numerous auroras - truly a sight to behold .

Now, comparing this new area with the border of Repentance, one would find that this city was indeed lightless .

The ever-present light gave a holy sensation like the soft moonlight . Such things didn’t exist back in their home, only darkness during the night . This made them think that their home was forsaken and doomed .

“The sacred light…” This affinity washed over everyone .

Because the students have cultivated merit laws of the light before, they started to harmonize with this power like fish returning to the water . The talented students started glowing and their grand dao resonated audibly too .

They felt the boundless power of the light, almost like an ocean . Meanwhile, they became fish with absolute freedom .

These young ones naturally became excited after experiencing this for the first time .  

A few started calming down and looked back towards the direction of Repentance . The disparity was absurdly clear .

Excitement turned into dejection . One of them murmured: “When will the light reach Repentance City?” His voice trailed off towards the end so he was the only one who heard it .

“Light in your heart, light everywhere, even in the darkness . ” Li Qiye heard him .

The first to react was Zhou Qiushi . He became emotional after hearing this .

In fact, he felt the same depression as the other students after realizing the state of his homeland .

But now, Li Qiye’s words resembled the dawn of light illuminating his dao heart . So what if the light couldn’t reach Repentance? It was already in his heart .

Qiushi meticulously digested the lesson from those simple words, fully immersing himself .

All in all, these students had different reactions while basking in the light - excitement, sadness, anticipation…

Meanwhile, Du Wenrui observed the group and was slightly moved too . He felt the same way when he left Repentance City for the first time .

In fact, the lack of light back home truly affected Repentance Institution .  

This academy had produced some decent geniuses in the past . However, many never returned after leaving Repentance City the first time .

Everyone knew that cultivation was much easier outside . Being able to watch the light and basking in it were huge advantages . One would have a brighter future and greater accomplishments .

These geniuses left and never returned, leaving Repentance City devoid of talents for generations .

Wenrui could tell that the majority of these students would also leave after their wings were big enough to do so . Fewer than few would choose to return .

Nevertheless, he didn’t blame them for doing so . After all, people aim upward while water flows downward - this was just a part of life .

“So why did you return?” Li Qiye asked Wenrui .

Du Wenrui was clearly capable of leaving . In fact, given his current power, he could become the dean at any of the four great academies .

He actually hid his strength - an unfathomable master . Alas, he chose to return to Repentance and assumed the role of a regular dean .

“Because that’s my home . ” Wenrui dispelled his thoughts and answered in a serious manner .

“Home, the one word that binds someone for a lifetime . ” Li Qiye nodded .

“Where is your home?” Wenrui asked .

Li Qiye gazed towards the horizon, seemingly deep in rumination . After a while, he smiled and said: “Where I am is home . ”

“So cool and unrestrained . ” Wenrui smiled and shook his head: “So it doesn’t matter how far you go, that place will be your home and earn your protection . ” 

He then looked back towards Repentance . During his time there, he never groomed anyone exceptional . His purpose was to protect that land .

He didn’t wish for anything more . After all, not everyone can become a saint .

“Perhaps . ” Li Qiye looked at him and said: “Academy of Light, it doesn’t need anything more than a talent like you . ”

“Geniuses come in waves here . Our system grooms them for the benefits of Immortal Lineage . I am but a firefly in comparison . ” Wenrui humbly replied .

“Unfortunately, very few have the same mentality as you, living to protect . ” Li Qiye smiled .

Wenrui could become a supreme existence that threatens all of Immortal Lineage . Alas, he has already picked his role in life .

1 . Repentance City, Repentance Sword, Repentance Institution, so many with the same name . I’ll use Repentance when the context is obvious to make it sound better . After all, no one calls Excalibur “the Excalibur” . It’s just that generally, the title of weapons in Chinese have the object noun included at the end too - xxx sword, xxx saber, xxx lance
