After stepping out of the grotto, a buzzing noise came about and sure enough, a tiny maelstrom emerged on his forehead as well, signifying him being recognized by the Heaven’s Will.

　　It wasn’t surprising at all. If his thirteen palaces couldn’t get this recognition, no one else in the world would.

　　Li Qiye had no reaction outside of a chuckle: “It’s finally here. Time for me to start.”

　　Having said that, his forehead lit up with lights consisting of three different colors - gold, silver, and iron. They twisted together and time seemed to stop because of their continuous flow.

　　The three lights became increasingly dazzling before three maelstroms emerged. They looked as if they could refine the entire world.

　　“Buzz.” In a jiffy, the three maelstroms seized the tiny one from the Heaven’s Will. It was the scene of a spider having its way with its prey stuck in the net.

　　Even though the Heaven’s Will maelstrom struggled, it was nothing before the other three. It didn’t take long before it was refined into a strand of light.

　　Remember that the Heaven’s Will contained the power of a generation and all the dao of the nine worlds. Yet, it was refined so quickly by these three maelstroms, making their might apparent.

　　The maelstroms disappeared, only leaving the flowing lights. Meanwhile, the strand of light that used to be the tiny maelstrom followed right behind the other three flowing lights in the back.

　　“Clank! Clang! Clank!” The three lights shot out three laws aiming straight for the vortex in the sky.

　　“Rumble!” The Heaven’s Will quaked along with the sky. Next, the same combination of lights infiltrated the circulating laws. It seemed to have left a mark on the Heaven’s Will.

　　Li Qiye chuckled at this sight. Everything was in the palm of his hands.

　　Meanwhile, something has happened in the nine worlds to the horror of everyone. Their soul flew away and scattered.

　　“Ah!” A miserable scream resounded in a certain sect within the nine worlds. It was their divine prince who was recognized by the Heaven’s Will yesterday.

　　The entire sect was shocked to hear the scream so the ancestors immediately rushed to his place.

　　“What’s going on?” One ancestor shouted after coming in.

　　The prince was scared out of his mind. He could barely give an answer: “My, my… my little maelstrom is gone.”

　　“What do you mean?” This ancestor didn’t know what to say at all.

　　The prince erupted with fury. He raised his head and shouted: “The recognition of the Heaven’s Will! It’s missing now, what the h.e.l.l?!”

　　The ancestors in the sect noticed that there was nothing on his forehead. They seemed to be struck by thunder as well and had no response.

　　Just one day ago, the tiny maelstrom was a supreme symbol of glory. Its disappearance was too much to take.

　　“No, someone has become an Immortal Emperor after shouldering the Heaven’s Will!” The oldest ancestor cried out.

　　“Who?!” The other ancestors were perplexed. The compet.i.tion had yet to begin yet someone had ascended already?
