Flowless city had fallen, the sovereigns had submitted, and the army had entered the city.
Li Qingshan's body flickered in and out of existence, twisting and changing like a bubble. Bearing such a majestic military aura, this mirror avatar was almost at its limit.
He smiled at Little Ann. The smile was like the moon in the water, rippling and shattering in the light before vanishing.
Little Ann donned the Three Burial Robes again and cast down the formations he had prepared beforehand, turning into a dark shadow that enveloped him. He did not seek defence, only concealment.
After so many years of preparation, it was time for him to begin a new round of cultivation.
With a wave of his hand, the Samādhi Flames of White Bone incinerated the ghouls. They did not struggle or cry out, let alone resist. Even the withered faces of the zombies seemed to ease up slightly, freed from the flames.
A white lotus bloomed in the sea of fire, slowly blooming. It was odorless and odorless.
With a clap, Li Qingshan closed a book. His gaze became dazed. The bookshelves in the surroundings extended out, confirming that he was still in the sky.
Everything that had happened in the daemonic beast realm, the Asura realm, and the Hungry Ghost realm was far too colorful. The silent sea of books instead seemed rather surreal, like he was immersed in three novels of different styles.
The moon reflected in the water seemed like a dream.
Li Qingshan broke into laughter. There was a sense of calmness to him, as if the frivolity of his youth had faded away with the passage of time, replaced by a faint scholarly air. He was rather similar to Spirit Sovereign Guihai.
He returned the book in his hand to the bookshelf. Up until now, he had already read through all the books in the sky.
This was his cultivation.
Since he needed to enter Ruin's End as a spirit turtle, he would do everything he could to improve the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression. If he could reach the ninth layer and unleash the perfect form of the Spirit Turtle Transformation, he believed it would be enough to fool the will of the Primordial Spirit Turtle.
However, there would always be a gap between reality and imagination. His Spirit Turtle Transformation had reached the eighth layer. He was stuck on the edge of the ninth layer, unable to advance any further.
The path of the spirit turtle. It was not about hard work, but accumulation. Or even fortuitous encounters.
He murmured to himself, "Perhaps I still haven't implemented the true path of the spirit turtle!" However, time waited for no one. He had to prepare to enter Ruin's End no matter what.
An old voice came from above: "Because you still can't let go of a person's heart, this will be your fatal weakness"
Li Qingshan rolled his eyes. "Just how much do the spirit turtles like to peep? Sigh, how disgusting!"
Spirit Venerable Guihai fell silent. Over the years, he had personally witnessed Li Qingshan's strength increasing day by day. Now, he no longer had the confidence to take him down.
For cultivators. Especially for a god with a long lifespan like him, it was really just a blink of an eye.
He let out a long sigh, "This is probably the scary part about humans! This child was born in response to tribulation, and now his wings are gradually growing. Who can stop him? "
Li Qingshan emerged from the sky, and the bright sunlight shone on his face. He yawned comfortably and tossed all of the messy knowledge in the book to the back of his mind, as well as the principles he was talking to himself.
A disciple hurried over: "Eldest Senior Brother, Senior Brother Le invites you!"
Li Qingshan's eyes lit up, and his laziness was swept away. Le Tian was finally going to die!
"Have I seen you before?"
"Eldest Senior Brother, people of high status tend to have short memories. Back then, when we joined the Myriad Phenomenon Sect together, we were even taught a lesson by you."
"I remember now. So it's you, kid. Time really passes quickly. I'll be leaving first, see you later! "
"Take care!" The disciple watched as Le Tian tore through the sky and disappeared among the rows of buildings. Suddenly, he shook his head and slowly walked down the stairs towards Life Chaos Place.
In a quiet room deep in Life Chaos Place, there was a bamboo mat. There was a table, and a lone lamp was swaying. A pot of cigarette smoke curled up, and a crooked "Gamble" character was hanging on the wall. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Le Tian was waiting there alone. He had just taken a bath and changed his clothes. His hair was still a little wet, and he looked as calm as a virgin.
Until a figure appeared on the door and opened it with a whoosh. He walked in with a gust of wind and asked, "Is it the time?"
Le Tian nodded. "There's still an hour. Sit down and wait for a while!"
Li Qingshan felt the special atmosphere in the quiet room. His expression turned solemn, and he turned to close the door.
In an instant, layers of formations were activated, and one could only leave but not enter.
Today might be the end of a Human Sovereign, and he would fall back into the cycle of reincarnation in hell.
Le Tian continued to close his eyes and rest.
However, Li Qingshan did not sit down. Instead, he paced around the room with his hands behind his back. After pacing a few rounds, he stopped in front of the only decoration. "What are these words? They are written like dogs crawling. "
Le Tian's eyebrows twitched a little. "I thought Eldest Senior Brother had read a lot of books and was already omniscient!"
Li Qingshan touched his head. "Hehe, I forgot after reading. If I carried so much knowledge and logic, how could I walk? "
Spirit Sovereign Guihai seemed to be at the top of the sky, but in reality, he was carrying the sky on his back. Therefore, he could not move an inch and was trapped in the building. He did not wish to live such a life. It was probably because of this that he could not cultivate to the ninth layer of the Spirit Turtle Transformation.
However, he did not read those books for nothing. They were all copied into Little Tian in the Five Continents World.
In the beginning, he needed to exchange novels. Later on, Li Qingshan no longer needed Spirit Sovereign Guihai's bookmark, so he made it completely free. Just as he hoped, he turned the Five Continents World into a beautiful new world where everyone could cultivate. Unfortunately, there were still many people who did not buy it.
Le Tian smiled. "Although there are many scholars in the world, there are few who understand this logic. Senior Brother, your wisdom is not something ordinary people can compare to. "
Li Qingshan turned back and said with a smile, "No matter how much you say, I will not help you fight that Ox-head!"
"A bet is a bet. Although Ox-head Ah Pang is only a Yin Commander Ghost Immortal, he represents the order of the six paths of reincarnation. You are definitely not his match. "
"Who was the one who set the order of the six paths of reincarnation?" Li Qingshan muttered to himself. Suddenly, he asked, "Oh right, where's your three-legged golden toad?"
"It's in the cave abode. I'm preparing to pack up and return to the Demonic Beast Realm."
"Heh, you sure are loyal!"
"Our lives are entrusted to each other. There's no loyalty. If I were to fall into reincarnation, I would have to rely on him to guide me. "
"Even if the guide succeeds, would it still be you?"
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
"You sure are open-minded?"
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
"If it isn't, I'll fight that Ox-head Ah Pang. If I win, I'll run. If I lose, I'll just have my soul destroyed. Why bother entering reincarnation?"
"I won't win."
"We'll only know after we fight!" Li Qingshan's eyes burned. His youthful spirit had never been worn down.
"Well said!"
A muffled roar resounded in the quiet room. A majestic city gate appeared out of thin air. It passed through layers of formations and stood erect in the quiet room. Three huge words were written on the city gate — Gate of Hell!
With a loud bang, the Gate of Hell opened. Chilly winds danced wildly and ghost fog filled the air. The lone lamp was extinguished and the smoke dispersed.
A huge Ox-head popped out from the ghost fog. Its eyes shone with red light as it stared straight at Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan looked left and right. "Well, it's none of my business. I was just casually saying!"
Ox-head said in a muffled voice, "Come in!"
