After watching Gu Yanying vanish into the horizon, Li Qingshan pondered for a while more before returning to the Qing Xiao dwelling. After several years of accumulation in the Eight Gates Formation of Golden Locks, the spiritual qi in the dwelling had become extremely dense. Perhaps it was not on par with a first-rate cultivation dwelling, but it was still a decent place for cultivation.
Only after casting down the Minor Formation of Five Elements Reversal and turning the heavenly secrets upside down and chaotic did Li Qingshan stop worrying. Afterwards, he entered the Asura Field. What appeared before him was still the same dense rainforest and a towering tree.
"Master." The night roamers bustled about in the rainforest. They all bowed as soon as they saw Li Qingshan.
A shadow drifted over, and Ye Mingzhu appeared before him. She was dressed in the traditional black armour of night roamers, but it was unable to hide her mature, charming figure. However, her existence was thin and blurry like a silhouette, giving off a gloomy aura as if she could merge with the darkness at any time.
"Congratulations." Li Qingshan smiled.
In the depths of the jungle, there were even more night roamers and daemons. Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo sensed his aura and hurried over together. Milliped climbed up a large tree, while Li 'l Red and Li' l Blue soaked in a pond in the forest …
When the spirit turtle had foretold the impending doom, Li Qingshan had gathered all the night roamers and sent them into the Asura Field. Afterwards, he left behind a mirror clone while his original body returned underground. He did his best to send every night roamer and daemon he came across into the Asura Field so that he could leave before the Beast King arrived.
With the Asura Field spanning several hundred kilometers, accommodating them was obviously not a problem. The only problem was the influence of the murderous intent from the Asura realm. Regular night roamers and daemons could not withstand it, so it was very easy for them to fall into a frenzy.
Even as the master of the Asura Field, Li Qingshan was unable to eliminate this influence. If that happened, the Asura Field would no longer be an Asura Field. However, there was still a pure land, and that was the area covered by the Banyan Tree King's canopy. With the power of the Banyan Tree King, even the power of the Shura Path could not invade it. Its canopy, which was like a green cloud, was also large enough.
All of the night roamers and daemons gathered below the tree, but they were afraid to approach the tree too closely. Some reckless daemons had already tried the power of the sun vines.
"It's all thanks to Master!"
Ye Mingzhu said politely. Although she had successfully undergone the second heavenly tribulation, she still dared not show the slightest disrespect in front of him. In the past, she had considered expelling him if she underwent the tribulation successfully and allowing her to regain control over the night roamers, but after the battle on Moon Court lake, she gave up on that thought.
His strength was far beyond what she could imagine. He was not an opponent that could be defeated by assassination. Coupled with the fact that he actually had no interest in ruling over the night roamers, and now that Ye Liusu was in control, she was in control too as her mother, so there was no need for her to take this risk.
Ye Liusu said, "Master, I want to leave all the matters regarding the night roamers to mother and focus on cultivation for a while."
"Alright. I've already said that you shouldn't spend too much effort on these trivial matters. Being ruled by the strongest goes without saying. Ye Mingzhu, from today onwards, you will continue to be the matriarch and rule over the night roamers!"
"Thank you, master." Ye Mingzhu was overjoyed. Her desire for power had already become bone-deep.
"What do you think of this place?" Li Qingshan asked.
"It's very good. According to the records, night roamers lived in a forest like this before they ventured underground!"
Li Qingshan raised his head and gazed into the distance. Under the cover of the great banyan tree's canopy, the dense forest that never saw the light of day seemed even darker. It seemed like it was very suitable for night roamers to live here. As a result, he asked the Banyan Tree King from afar.
"Sir, are there night roamers in the Mist province too?"
"There are many, many of them. Most of them live under my shade."
The great banyan tree produced an ancient voice, which surprised all the night roamers. When they first saw such a huge tree, they had already become speechless from shock. They never thought the tree was actually a daemon with a will. Even Ye Mingzhu widened her eyes.
Li Qingshan said, "This is one of the Ten Daemon Kings, the Banyan Tree King. Of course, this is just a clone of his."
"The Banyan Tree King!"
Ye Mingzhu was a renowned Ten Daemon King. Everyone knew about the Dragon King Of The Sea who reigned over the Green province. He had always been a figure of legend in her eyes. She never expected to see one in person today, which made her feel even more reverence.
Then, Li Qingshan asked, "I want to remove these sun vines so that they can live safely under your shade. Are you willing to do that, sir?"
"I'm just a tree. There's no need to ask me what I think. However, their roots have already intertwined with the tree's roots, so removing them won't be easy."
"Then I'll try!"
Li Qingshan smiled confidently and took a step forward. His body grew to over sixty meters tall as the sun vines wrapped around him furiously. He allowed them to wrap around him without moving at all. In the blink of an eye, he was completely swallowed by the golden sun vines. Every single sun vine absorbed his daemon qi desperately.
The Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas!
Li Qingshan immediately withdrew and suppressed all of his daemon qi, like he had frozen the sea. The sun vines were unable to absorb it for a moment.
The Tremors of the Ox Demon!
Li Qingshan converted his daemon qi into the power of the Tremors of the Ox Demon and released it around him. The sun vines instinctively absorbed all of the power of tremors, leaving nothing behind.
Li Qingshan was unfazed. He continued to release the power of tremors endlessly. Gradually, the sun vines began to ripple, as if they had reached a certain limit. Suddenly, they split apart and turned to dust. The pale yellow juice contained in it splattered in all directions, as if a rainstorm had fallen.
The spiritual qi within the fluid was extremely dense. Li Qingshan exhaled deeply as if he had undergone a baptism. His exhaustion from the battle vanished, and he seemed like a brand new person.
The rainforest in the surroundings grew madly under the nourishment of the spiritual rain. The night roamers and daemons all leapt onto the canopy, enjoying this shower from above.
Due to the sun vines' ability to absorb, even the finest roots buried deep in the earth were shaken to pieces, uprooted. Perhaps there would be a day when they could regrow, but that would probably take a very, very long time.
Under Ye Mingzhu's supervision, the night roamers built houses and residences under the great banyan tree's tangled roots.
Li Qingshan stood on the great banyan tree, overlooking the bustling night roamers below before gazing at the boundary of the Asura Field. He could not help but sigh in amazement. In the past, he could only sleep in a cowshed. Just how cramped was that? Now, he possessed a private territory that spanned several hundred kilometers. It truly felt like a lifetime had passed.
However, the difficulties of the past were not worth lamenting over. Even now, he was unable to see just how colossal the Oxen that had accompanied him for over a decade was.
"I'll be waiting for you beyond the Nine Heavens, waiting for the day when you stand beside me!"
He gazed at the sky. Was the Asura realm lofty? Beyond the Nine Heavens was probably an even greater place!
"Don't lower your head to anyone or anything, because you've once ridden on my back!"
These words were engraved in his heart.
He took out the bamboo flute he had not used in a very long time and placed it by his lips, playing it rather rudely. The flute music that was not particularly pleasant drifted through the wind.
The Banyan Tree King listened on silently. He had heard countless pleasant tunes in the past, but he had never heard a flute like this.
