Li Qingshan thought that he was lucky. If not for the Deep Blue Fatty, all the cultivators of the world would not have been able to destroy this Towering Ghost Tower even if they joined forces. Emperor Li alone, even if he could not come out of the tower, was not someone that any demon king or great cultivator could defeat.
Sensing Deep Blue Fatty's condition, he could not help but feel a little regretful. Although the world was formed by the Deep Blue Fatty, the two were still different. Deep Blue Fatty could eat as much as she wanted in the Great Swallowing Beast's body, but in the Nine States, she was restricted by the laws of heaven and earth and could not do as she pleased like in the void. Otherwise, she would be a great help even if she went to the Demonic Domain to fight against Demon God Qiongqi.
External forces could not be relied on, even the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens was the same. Everything depended on one's own strength.
"So powerful!" Little Ann offered her most sincere admiration without reservation.
"It's a piece of cake." Li Qingshan laughed and kissed her face.
Gu Yanying and Luo Hou Xiaoming looked at each other, but there was not much joy on their faces.
"Kid, this world is finished. Fortunately, it is no longer anchored. Let's get ready to ascend!"
Luo Hou Xiao Ming let out a sigh, singing a completely different tune.
Li Qingshan was surprised. "We worked so hard and finally broke this ghost tower. Why are you saying it's finished?"
Gu Yanying smiled. "What do you mean by countless hardships? Who said saving the world was that easy?" She pointed to the Gate of Hungry Ghosts below. "Qingshan, don't be too happy. Look carefully!"
Li Qingshan looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the Gate of Hungry Ghosts had not shrunk at all. Instead, it was getting bigger.
It was like a huge hole in a painting. It was bottomless and dark, and everything was falling into this hole. And the aura of death was still gushing out from the mouths of the hungry ghosts, eroding the entire painting.
Li Qingshan's heart sank. The Gate of Hungry Ghosts was the Xuanyin Sect's last resort to drag the entire world down with them. Once opened, it was difficult to close. Even if the Sky-Reaching Ghost Tower was destroyed, such a huge Gate of Hungry Ghosts could not be easily sealed.
The Nine States were still slowly being devoured by the Hungry Ghost realm.
Luo Hou Xiaoming said: "The Hungry Ghost realm has the instinct to devour. He seemed to be very interested in this White Bone successor. Perhaps it was the White Bone Bodhisattva from back then. You left too deep an impression on it. "
Li Qingshan frowned. If he left the mouths of the hungry ghosts alone, the ghouls could return at any time. Building another Sky-Reaching Ghost Tower would not be difficult. Was saving the world just an empty promise? He was somewhat unwilling.
"There must be a way!"
Then, he summoned Deep Blue Fatty. He opened his mouth and swallowed.
For a moment, the weather changed. The sky was filled with dark haze and roiling death energy that surged into Indigo Little Fatty's mouth. It immediately inflated like a balloon.
To the Void Devouring Beast. This was clearly not very nutritious food, but it was not picky at all. As long as Li Qingshan dared to order it, it dared to eat.
This caused the small world to change again. Many buried corpses climbed out of their graves under the influence of the death energy. Souls filled with obsession and resentment turned into ghosts in the cold wind.
An Undead Calamity began. Countless people would die in battle and turn into ghosts, but countless people would become famous and heroes. This caused the already unstable small world to become even more turbulent.
A forbidden land called "Skeleton Island" was formed. Many years later, the world's number one demonic sect was built — the Undying Sect. It brought about many more killings and battles.
Li Qingshan felt a little emotional. Although he did not view mortals as ants, when the difference in strength reached a certain level, every word and action could cause a great impact.
In order to save the lives of the nine provinces, he let Deep Blue Fatty devour the death energy. It was an act of kindness, but who knew how many innocent lives had died.
Even if he did not mention this, back then, he let Deep Blue Fatty devour the world remains in the void. It turned into a meteor shower in the small world, causing countless earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. How could there not be lives that died? This was not out of malice, but a good thing that was beneficial to many lives.
Back then, he did not even feel the slightest bit sorry, because it was too far away, too insignificant. He did not even know if he could save his own life, so how could he care about the lives of others?
These emotions were just emotions. Li Qingshan had never regretted anything he did, and he could not be bothered to think about such complicated things. Sealing the Gate of Hungry Ghosts was the most important thing right now.
Although he did not have a way, there was someone who definitely had a way.
"Little Ming, you have to recover your cultivation as soon as possible. Yanying, help Little Ming collect Asura Fields. Little Ann, go … Alright, stay by my side. We'll go ask the Banyan Tree King for a plan. Whether we succeed or not, we won't be staying in this world for too long. "
Gu Yanying said nothing more. She grabbed Luo Hou Xiaoming and left.
Li Qingshan conjured another mirror clone and guarded the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, commanding Deep Blue Fatty to prevent the Hungry Ghost realm from playing any more tricks. Afterwards, he flew back to the Mist province with Little Ann.
"Qingshan, welcome back!"
As soon as Li Qingshan entered the Mist province, the Banyan Tree King's voice echoed through the surroundings. The sea of trees rippled, and all the living beings in the sea of trees raised their heads.
Ye Liubo walked out of the Shadow Palace and said to the infant in her arms proudly, "Listen, that's your father's name. Look at how impressive he is!"
The infant was still very young, but his pitch-black eyes shone brightly. He said clearly with his tender voice, "Daddy, Qingshan."
In the Mist capital, the King of Southern Yue had received news of Li Qingshan's return a long time ago. He even knew everything about him defeating the Corpse Emperor and destroying the Lingguo temple. At this realm of cultivation, information actually spread very quickly.
When he heard the Banyan Tree King's welcome, he immediately took off into the air and hurried off to Towering City.
The Green province, the Cloud province, the Harmony province … His voice echoed through all the places where the Banyan Tree King had become a god, basically ringing through the entire nine provinces. Everyone muttered this name inside. It would become a new legend.
Li Qingshan passed through the dense canopy and landed in Towering City.
The Banyan Tree King turned into a human and smiled. "Although I've never underestimated you, your performance has always exceeded my expectations!"
Li Qingshan smiled. "You've already said that many times."
The King of Southern Yue studied him. "Just how did you … how …"
"The key is the heart."
"Fine then!"
The King of Southern Yue accepted this explanation helplessly, even though he had no idea what he wanted to ask about. How did he return from space, how did he defeat the Corpse Emperor, or how did he topple the Ghost Tower …
Perhaps legends had always been slightly inconceivable and incomprehensible.
Li Qingshan said, "If it weren't for the urgent matter, I'd definitely drink with the two of you. May I ask, tree king, how do you seal the mouth of a hungry ghost? "
The Banyan Tree King said, "That's the wound of the entire world. No cultivator can do anything about it. All they can do is borrow the power of the world …"
Li Qingshan said, "I understand."
"You understand?"
"I've already become a god of the world once."
The will of the world was powerful, but it was blurry. Everything operated on instinct, so it was unable to use its full power. If they had a smart and powerful butler, then it would be completely different. At the very least, they would not allow a Corpse Emperor to sneak in. They could directly use heavenly lightning to attack or even kill it.
The Banyan Tree King was astounded. "You've become a god?"
Li Qingshan said, "I'll pass on all my experience and knowledge to you right now. Haha, I never thought there would be a time when I'd be teaching you."
The Banyan Tree King smiled bitterly. "It was only a matter of time before your knowledge surpassed mine."
"I'll go get the remaining cauldrons." Little Ann suddenly said. Even though he was extremely reluctant, he still wanted to lend him a hand. After a moment of hesitation, he added, "Don't ever see me again."
Li Qingshan said, "I won't. I'll definitely wait for your return. The Frost Province cauldron is already gone. I'll go get the Dragon Province cauldron. I'll leave the rest to you. "
The Banyan Tree King had already become the god of the five provinces. All that remained were the two cauldrons.
The King of Southern Yue said, "I'll be a lobbyist as well! It'll be for the best if we don't use force. This is for the sake of the entire nine provinces. I'm sure the two fellows can consider the bigger picture. "
Li Qingshan smiled. "I don't think there's any need for me to pay them a visit in person."
They split up again. Li Qingshan entered the heart of the tree through the opening in the tree trunk.
The experience regarding the World God was far too profound and vast. If he had to pass it on through words, who knew how much time and effort it would take.
Hollow, jade-green aerial roots extended out, directly connecting to Li Qingshan's head. The Banyan Tree King already knew how to imbue wisdom, but he was just doing the exact opposite now.
Li Qingshan closed his eyes, and the relevant information appeared in his sea of consciousness. He followed the aerial roots and surged towards the Banyan Tree King.
The information was so vast and complicated. It contained the profound changes of the laws of the world, as well as the indifference and loftiness of the World God. If it were any other Daemon King, they would probably lose their minds and experience a drastic change in personality, even falling into madness.
Fortunately, the Banyan Tree King was half a World God, so he could adapt to this influence. Countless branches were spread all over the world, possessing extremely powerful digesting and deduction abilities. Every banyan tree, regardless of their size, was receiving and verifying the information. Millions of banyan trees formed a complex system that was like a neural network, working together.
Rings of green light swept past the sea of trees, and all the banyan leaves trembled slightly. The Banyan Tree King was shocked and delighted. This knowledge was too important to him.
Originally, when he heard Li Qingshan say that the Frost Prefecture Cauldron was gone, he was somewhat worried. Now, he had no more worries. Even without the Frost Prefecture Cauldron, he was confident that he could become the God of the Frost Prefecture in a short time.
In order to seize the time and let the Banyan Tree King become a God as soon as possible, Li Qingshan only transmitted the purest knowledge.
The Banyan Tree King couldn't imagine what kind of adventure he had experienced in the void to obtain such a huge harvest. At this time, he didn't have any spare energy to imagine. He focused all his energy to digest this incomparably precious treasure of knowledge.
Even with that being the case, it still took him three days and three nights before he finished transmitting the information.
When Li Qingshan opened his eyes again, Little Ann and the King of Southern Yue had already returned with the two cauldrons.
"Do I need to break them?"
"That's exactly what I wanted."
