The sky was high and the sea was wide. Li Qingshan was flying over the vast sea. In less than a month, it was too tight. It was almost impossible for him to make sufficient preparations.
If he had a few years to cultivate slowly, he could reach the fifth tier of the Ape Demon Transformation and recover all his strength. Then, he could sort out the techniques of the various sects that worshipped the Vast Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord. His cultivation would definitely increase tremendously. It was just a True Dragon that had passed the Heaven's Tribulation five times. How hard could it be to deal with?
Moreover, after becoming a monster monarch, he should have obtained at least five new special abilities. However, they were all obstructed due to various reasons. Although it was a talent, it took time for a bird to learn how to fly. If he could slowly comprehend it, it was not impossible to comprehend it. However, the problem was that he did not have enough time.
It would be great if he could comprehend one or two special abilities in a month. It was almost impossible to use them as he wished. Moreover, it was still unknown what the effects of the new special abilities would be.
It would not be strange if he could comprehend them after so much effort to defeat Ao Xuan. He had comprehended many divine abilities, but not every one of them could be used in every battle. He might as well use the time to practice the spiritual arts related to the Freedom Heavenly Book. At least he would have a clear goal.
Fate was like this. It would not wait until you were fully prepared before giving you a test. Instead, it would hit you head-on.
Li Qingshan took a deep breath and threw all these thoughts to the back of his head. He focused all his attention on what he should do. He was thinking about how he could use them to their fullest potential to overcome this obstacle.
First, he browsed through First Senior Brother Lin Xuan's battle records. There were no pictures, only words. However, Lin Xuan's prowess in the past was still reflected in his words. He was worthy of being called "Undefeated in every battle. Undefeated in every battle ". These eight words were fascinating.
The True Dragon Heavenly Book in his hands was able to transform into countless techniques. He had defeated and killed countless strong enemies on the battlefield.
He was not only powerful. He had the ability to lead. He was wise and decisive. He was able to convince others. The armies outside of the Nature Sect were also willing to follow his orders. He was like a different person from the Lin Xuan that Li Qingshan knew. Not to mention the clown Chu Tian.
Although it might be an exaggeration, it was definitely not groundless. At the very least, compared to Li Liehuo and Chao Tianjiao, he was more deserving of the title of "Eldest Senior Brother".
However, the Great Dao was merciless. If one could not become an immortal, once their time was up, even if they were a hero, they would not be the same as before even if they were reincarnated.
In all of Lin Xuan's deeds. All of them had Ao Xuan's shadow in them, and they even had the battle record of fighting five Demon Emperors alone. Even though it was just a bitter battle that ended with Lin Xuan leading the rescue team, Li Qingshan's mood became even more solemn after he finished reading it.
At least for now, this True Dragon was still a powerful enemy that he could not defeat. The aura of death became more intense, and the fighting spirit in his heart burned like fire.
He didn't even notice it himself. He subconsciously pursed his lips and bulged his eyes, a stubborn expression on his face. He was like a stubborn bull.
At that moment, a verdant island appeared on the surface of the sea. It happened to be in between Wanxiang City and the Xuanming Cave Abode. It was thousands of miles away from both of them.
Li Qingshan descended from the skies. Without saying much, he shared the information he obtained with Gu Yanying and Little Ann.
"We don't have much time. Let's limit it to 15 days. By then, I'll try to find Little Ming and prepare to fight Ao Xuan to the death!"
Gu Yanying replied, "Understood," Little Ann nodded silently.
Thus, Li Qingshan said nothing more and turned to head into the depths of the island. He immediately began cultivating. The first was the Five Elements Divine Escape.
In the depths of the dense forest, a huge tree blocked the path. It was unknown how long it had been growing on this island. It would probably require dozens of people to encircle it. Up close, it looked like a wall.
Li Qingshan walked over and entered the wooden wall silently. The small world within his body was still in a semi-chaotic state. Breathing in and out, it expanded and contracted continuously.
Mastering one technique would lead to mastering all techniques.
For an ordinary cultivator, it would take at least a few years for them to cultivate the Five Elements Divine Escape Technique to the Initial Mastery level.
However, for him, who had just mastered the first stage of the Qilin Longevity Strategy, Wood Escape was no longer difficult.
Just like that, he walked through the dense forest, passing through the trees until a huge mountain blocked his path.
He smiled and leaped into the mountain rocks like a carp leaping into the dragon's gate. In an instant, he turned into a beam of light and traveled through the mountains. This was a true escape technique. Not only was there no obstruction, but he could also use the momentum to travel. Earth Escape was as easy as breathing for him.
There were many metals in the mountains, so the obstruction was greater than that of rocks. However, it was not a difficult task. Using the escape technique, he came to the depths of the mountain. Suddenly, he sped down. Hot air gradually surged up, and a boundless sea of fire suddenly rushed toward him.
Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. "Oh, so this is a dormant volcano to begin with!"
The Earth Fiendish Magnetism interfered with the spell, and the beam of light flickered. The Five Elements Divine Escape became ineffective at times, and it was instantly swallowed by the sea of fire.
Among the Five Elements Divine Escape techniques, cultivating Fire Escape was the most dangerous. At most, one would be buried alive if they used Earth Escape. At most, they would be drowned in water if they used Water Escape. It was not fatal for cultivators, but it was not so good to be burned by fire. Usually, one had to practice in a cauldron first and find friends and family to watch over them so that they could retract the flames at any time. Even so, it was very easy for them to get injured or even die.
Cultivators like Li Qingshan, cultivating in Earth Fire right from the start, were simply unheard of.
Not only was the fire poison cruel here, but there was also the influence of the Earth Fiendish Magnetism. Moreover, lava was not pure fire. One had to be proficient in both Earth Escape and Metal Escape. If there was even the slightest mistake, the consequences would be unthinkable.
It was probably because Li Qingshan had long gotten used to harmonizing all kinds of powers. Under the influence of the Earth Fiendish Magnetism, he managed to maintain his escape technique. He was unhindered when he entered the earth, unharmed when he entered the fire, and could move about freely.
At this moment, he suddenly encountered an earth bubble and it exploded. The lava boiled, and the magnetism became chaotic.
His escape technique immediately lost its effect. He felt a burning sensation on his chest. The wound that had already healed ruptured again. Blood and flames gushed out like a volcanic eruption. This was the residual power of Li Liehuo's punch.
Li Qingshan's entire body was burned. Even with the phoenix's bloodline, he still felt the heat was unbearable. The rolling lava pressed against him from all directions.
Although he had the experience of traversing through lava and Earth Fire with his physical body, this was the Mortal Realm. Everything around him told him a simple fact:
"Here, you are not that strong!"
The unbridled pride he had when he roamed the nine provinces in the past was like a distant dream. Just like when he first arrived in the small world, "being unrivalled in the world" was just a childish game for children.
Was that all? Was that all?
Li Qingshan asked himself. He clenched his teeth and silently felt the pain in every part of his body. The various situations after he came to the Mortal Realm surged into his mind. He was used as a chess piece, a gambling tool, and was casually humiliated and ordered around. He was forced into a hopeless situation step by step. He threw life and death to the back of his mind, but he only did his best to maintain his dignity. There was still this hole in his chest.
He clenched his fists and let out a hysterical roar. He jumped into the depths of the Earth Fire.
Rumble, rumble, rumble. The mountains and rivers shook, and the earth groaned.
