Chapter 6037: Old Pact
The particles within the pond seemed alive and entered Six-style Emperor, forming veins throughout her body of varying sizes.
The main veins formed an outline with tinier vessels spreading and connecting the remaining spots. Primordial light flowed in a loop through them, restoring her vitality.
This affinity connected and healed the broken veins. The next targets were the external cracks and wounds.
However, Yangrune’s imperial power erupted after sensing the recovery attempt. Explosions detonated to destroy Six-style again. Fortunately, the primordial light protected her this time before surging to destroy the remnant imperial force.
The latter became exposed and surrounded, unable to flee. The light crushed it in the next second, signaling an end to the imperial-level injury.
Once her visible wounds healed, the primordial light focused on her true fate. Outlines of the fate palaces surfaced.
Although her dao fruits were destroyed, Li Qiye conjured the outlines of her fate palace and lit up the true fate.
The thing was on the verge of collapsing but his light wrapped around it for a repair process, pulling her back from the gates of hell.
Minisun heaved a sigh of relief. At the very least, her true fate and body were unharmed. This meant she could cultivate again starting from the beginning. Becoming an emperor once more wasn’t impossible.
Six-style exuded life force while slumbering in the medicinal pond. With that, Minisun bowed to show gratitude.
“Let her consolidate and be nourished.” Li Qiye glanced at Six-style before leaving the secret chamber.

Back in the palace, he fancied himself to a sweeter tea with the help of Unrivalled Monarch. Just a while ago, she was an imperious cultivator, virtually unstoppable with her spear and ready to slay the armies.
Her murderous intent made emperors and gods shudder - starkly contrasting her current docile role.
“You are on the cusp of enlightenment.” He leaned on his chair and glanced at Demon Moon Saber Saint sitting in a daze.
She didn’t know who he was but given the circumstances, his status might be beyond her imagination.
“Yes, Young Noble, I will obtain a dao fruit soon.” She sighed and said: “Her Majesty was attacked because of me.”
“Your dao protector.” Li Qiye said.
“Precisely, Young Noble.” She responded.
“It seems like you’re quite popular.” Li Qiye smiled.
“What happened to Her Majesty was my fault. Immortal Suppression has been hunting me the entire time.” She hesitated for a moment, wearing a dejected expression the entire time.
“Don’t worry because Junior Sister is connected to your clan. Why is Immortal Suppression still after you?” Minisun asked.
She opened her mouth to speak but didn’t know how to answer right away.
“There’s more to it.” She said.
“She has secrets they covet.” He chuckled and blew gently on the teacup before sipping slowly.
“Yes, Young Noble. “She admitted.
“Now is your chance to speak or these secrets will disappear with your death.” Unrivalled Monarch interjected, her graceful and obedient demeanor was still captivated.
“...” She was put in a difficult situation.
“What is it? Being a descendant of sinners didn’t warrant Yangrune’s involvement.” Minisun stared at her.
“You all saved my life, I suppose I cannot keep this a secret forever.” She took a deep breath and said: “It pertains to the war known as Old Pact.”
Unrivalled and Minisun’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this.
“So Old Pact happened.” Unrivalled found this surprising.
“The Liu has something to do with this?” Minisun asked.
“I can’t answer and I lack the ability to verify it, at least for now.” She smiled wryly.
Everyone knew about the three immortal and six heavenly wars. However, some believed there were only five heavenly wars. Old Pact was the sixth.
The current generation knew nothing of it; only the top existences knew this name. The war’s location, participants, and other details remained elusive.
“Go on.” Minisun said.
She pondered for a second before continuing: “From the stories passed down by our ancestors, the war created a particular weapon.”
“What type of weapon?” Unrivalled asked.
“This goes back to Devil Desolate War and the silver dragon disaster.” She said.
“So when Desolate Ancestor slayed the dragon machine.” The listeners have heard of this famous battle before.
“Yes, our ancestor was present when that happened.” She nodded.
