The haunt ghosts did not possess much battle prowess, but their minds had been subdued by the tiger demon's ability, so they were absolutely loyal. This meant that not only could Li Qingshan kill people, but he could even enslave the people he killed, preventing them from reincarnating in the netherworld. Moreover, the ghosts would definitely tell him everything they knew, so it was best to use them to probe for secrets.
Since Sha Bie came from the Ink sea, he should know the situation there. Now that he had started a massacre, he would definitely offend the Dragon King Of The Sea. It was perfect for Li Qingshan to understand the situation of the Ink sea from him so that he could respond appropriately.
Li Qingshan was indeed fearful of the Dragon King Of The Sea, but that did not mean just anyone could use this to threaten him. He had grown accustomed to being on equal footing with the Golden Cicada Spirit King and the Banyan Tree King, so he really did not want to lower himself and visit some sir dragon king. He had already fallen out with that bullshit beast king, so there was no harm in offending another one.
Looking at the haunt ghosts Sha Bie had transformed into, Li Qingshan felt some pity. If only he had possessed this ability a long time ago. It would have been extremely pleasant to lead a group of enemies in conquering the world.
He abruptly turned his head and sensed that waves of demonic aura were leaving Calm Wave Lake. Those guests who wanted to divide and eat him were fleeing in all directions. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Since he had come this far, he might as well go all the way!
Back then, he had been forced by the circumstances to spare their lives, which had already made Li Qingshan rather unhappy. Now that they were here to discuss how to deal with him, they could all go die!
Casually tossing Sha Bie's haunt ghosts into the Asura Field, Li Qingshan turned into a scarlet streak of light and arrived high in the sky. He swung his right hand. "Profound Light Illuminates All!"
Pieces of the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell flew out, shining in the direction the daemon qi had fled in. Very soon, they locked onto all the fleeing figures.
Li Qingshan chose the one closest to him. With a flap of his wings, he kicked up flames and shot off as a scarlet streak of light.
… …
In the Ink Sea, there was a majestic hall with many lamps. It was like a Buddhist hall, but there was no Buddha statue. One of the lamps suddenly went out.
This was not an ordinary oil lamp, but a life lamp. The extinguished lamp belonged to Sha Bie, who was killed by Li Qingshan.
"What? Lao Sha is dead?"
Mo Yu hurried over, a trace of shock appearing on his usually expressionless face. Who would be so bold as to kill someone from the Ink Sea? Lao Sha wasn't someone who would be killed so easily.
He suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face became even paler. He turned into a black vortex and disappeared from the palace.
In the depths of the Ink Sea, there was a huge dragon that was as black as ink. It was heavy and dignified like a mountain, agile and elegant like clouds. In comparison, the black dragon that Si Qing transformed using the Black Emperor Dragon Mantra was like a small snake. It did not feel like a life form at all.
The Dragon King Of The Sea opened his eyes. After a moment, he slowly closed them again.
…
Boom!
A huge bullfrog the size of a small mountain landed heavily on the shore of Calm Wave Lake, crushing countless houses and buildings and causing countless people to scream. However, the bullfrog had no time to pay attention to the ants around it. It pushed off with its hind legs, digging two deep pits in the ground and leapt forward with all its might.
In an instant, it left the lakeside. Its huge and heavy body could advance over ten kilometers with each leap. In just a few moments, it was more than a hundred kilometers away from the palace in the center of the lake.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. He should not have been invited to that banquet. He had personally witnessed North Moon's ferocity. It was not something that he could resist.
Moreover, Just Now, with a quick glance, he discovered something even more astonishing. The aura that North Moon gave off clearly indicated that he had already undergone the second heavenly tribulation and become a Daemon Commander.
Daemon Commanders were nothing. He himself was a Daemon Commander. However, North Moon was a terrifying existence that could defeat a large group of Daemon Commanders when he was a Daemon General. Now that he had become a Daemon Commander, just how powerful would he be? If that attack had landed on him, he would have already been turned into a pile of meat paste. He regretted that he had been stunned for a moment and had run a little too slowly.
At this moment, a huge wave of Daemon Qi rapidly approached. Greatly alarmed, the bullfrog ran even faster. However, in the blink of an eye, that wave of Daemon Qi had arrived above his head.
"The first one!"
Li Qingshan flapped his wings, and like an eagle swooping down on a rabbit, he lunged at the bullfrog. By the time he reached the ground, he had already reverted to his original form. He had turned into a giant that was nearly a hundred and twenty meters tall. Compared to him, the bullfrog's huge body seemed small.
The bullfrog used all his strength to leap forward. Suddenly, his body became ten times heavier, and he fell from the sky. Before he could react, a hoof of the bullfrog had already stomped him into the ground. The powerful force and enormous gravity made him unable to move. He was like a little frog under the claws of a ferocious tiger.
"Fellow Daoist, spare me!"
"I had already spared you once, but since you refuse to repent, you might as well die!"
Li Qingshan said. Under the tiger's claws, he easily ripped apart the bullfrog's body, killing him on the spot. He dug out a daemon core and had the spirit turtle suppress it. Then, he tossed the body into the Asura Field, preparing to make a fried bullfrog for himself. A Daemon Commander who had cultivated for many years like this should taste quite good. When he thought of Sha Bie, he felt some regret. If he had known earlier, he would not have shattered him so much. Otherwise, he would have left him to stew in soup. It would probably have been even more nourishing.
In the end, he turned his soul into a haunt. Anyway, it was not wasted at all. Afterwards, the scarlet light took off once again, falling towards the next fleeing Daemon Commander.
With his speed that far exceeded regular Daemon Commanders and the Profound Light Illuminates All's lock onto him, Li Qingshan killed all the Daemon Commanders who wanted to eat him, turning them all into haunt ghosts. He obtained another eight daemon cores, five of which were water-elemental.
Sha Bie was worried that the North Moon would use the Water God Seal to attack from the north, so he purposefully befriended these water-elemental Daemon Commanders. He never expected the development of the situation to be completely different from what he had anticipated. In the end, it all ended up benefiting Li Qingshan.
However, right now, Li Qingshan primarily practised the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa, so these daemon cores were temporarily useless. He tossed them all into his hundred treasures pouch for the future.
After doing all that, Li Qingshan returned to Calm Wave lake and took out the Water God Seal he had stolen from Sha Bie. The original owner had been killed, so he easily suppressed and erased the remaining aura from the Water God Seal, uniting all the water in the Ruyi commandery once again. Afterwards, he merged the two Water God Seals together, forming an even more powerful Water God Seal that could hold even more water.
With a thought, Li Qingshan gathered the surging water spiritual qi towards the Water God Seal in his hand before channeling it into the Ocean pearl in his body.
After reaching Golden Core, the rate at which he gathered spiritual qi had become even faster, but to the Ocean pearl, it was utterly inadequate. It had always been empty. Now, with the Water God Seal, the emptiness in the Ocean pearl was filled up very quickly, filling up sliver by sliver.
Li Qingshan sighed inside. Sure enough, the spiritual qi required by Golden Core was tremendous. The amount of spiritual qi he had absorbed in a moment was enough for ten first layer Qi Practitioners to reach late Foundation Establishment.
A while later, the Ocean pearl suddenly lit up. It had finally filled up.
Although he had only filled up the Ocean pearl like a force-fed duck right now, and he still needed a tremendous amount of time to refine the spiritual qi into his own power, this had saved him a tremendous amount of time. At the very least, he did not need to spend any effort gathering resources for practising the Arts of the Boundless Ocean for the next decade.
Then, Li Qingshan did not stop gathering spiritual qi. He continued to absorb it continuously, replenishing the demonic qi he had lost in this battle to its perfect state. It was even more abundant than when he had first arrived.
The light on the Water God Seal had dimmed a lot. The water spiritual qi contained in the rivers and lakes was not inexhaustible. It had been accumulated bit by bit over a long period of time. Ever since the Great Xia Dynasty's Shengzu Emperor defeated all the deities, it had taken him thousands of years to accumulate such a huge amount of resources.
In total, Li Qingshan had already used up fifty to sixty percent of it in the past. Sha Bie had never stopped absorbing spiritual qi during the past year or so either. He had used up ten to twenty percent, so only twenty to thirty percent remained. However, who knew how many pills and how much time he could save on cultivation with this twenty to thirty percent.
Now that he had fallen out with the Dragon King Of The Sea, it would be difficult for him to remain as the Water God in peace. Naturally, he had to seize the time and pack up everything he could to prepare for the future.
However, the remaining twenty to thirty percent of spiritual qi left Li Qingshan rather troubled. He thought, Isn't there another place where I can store this water spiritual qi? He brought his fingers together like a sword and extended his hand, pointing at the Asura Field and drawing in all the surging water spiritual qi.
The weather in the Asura Field changed drastically. Dark clouds filled the sky, enveloping a range of several hundred kilometers. The clouds grew thicker and thicker as rain poured down. However, it was not regular rain. Instead, it was spiritual rain filled with spiritual qi, like a sweet, sweet rain.
The rain fell into the lake, and the water level skyrocketed. It overflowed very soon, turning into rivers that surged across the land recklessly.
The asura were currently in a standoff with a group of haunted ghosts. The water surged over, and they all leapt to higher ground.
The water surged into the dense rainforest, and the trees grew at a visible rate. Some of the older ones even began to develop a hint of spirituality. This was a sign that they were about to become daemons.
The Banyan Tree King also extended his branches and smiled. "I haven't been a teacher for so long in vain!" The night roamers emerged from their treehouses one by one and gazed at the torrential rain that seemed like a miracle. They spread their arms and drank the rainwater.
Although it was only twenty to thirty percent of the spiritual qi, it was the accumulation of all the rivers and lakes in the Ruyi commandery over several millennia. It was enough to modify the Asura Field into a blessed land where they could cultivate in the future.
Li Qingshan channeled the last sliver of water spiritual qi into the Asura Field, and the Water God Seal completely dimmed. The sky was already filled with light. He exhaled deeply. Right when he was about to leave, the spirit turtle suddenly gave off a warning and looked back.
In the eastern sky, a black swirl appeared out of nowhere, turning into a pitch-black figure. It was the pale-faced Mo Yu in a black cloak.
"North Moon, it really is you!"
After a long journey, Mo Yu finally arrived at Calm Wave lake. His eyes filled with a deathly stillness stared straight at Li Qingshan like he was looking at a dead man.
"So what if I'm your grandfather?"
