That night, they drank until midnight before parting ways.
Xia Wuji and Immortal Northstar left early the next morning, leaving Li Qingshan alone in the once lively atmosphere.
Li Qingshan wasn’t disheartened. He could embrace both glory and solitude.
Besides, he wasn’t truly alone.
The world’s spiritual Qi and the World’s Great Path were all eagerly awaiting Li Qingshan’s exploration.
On the day of their departure, Li Qingshan had a sudden impulse. After a night of cultivation, he broke through to the Ascension Immortal. He entered the Wanderer cultivation plane.
The Wanderer cultivation plane symbolized the carefree life.
In this cultivation plane, one’s entire being was relaxed. It was as if one had broken free from the shackles on one’s body and the shackles of the secular world, achieving oneself.
“Breaking the shackles, today I truly understand who I am!”
Li Qingshan muttered. After he broke through to the Wanderer cultivation plane, he continued to cultivate every day, comprehend the Great Path, and then venture outside.
Indeed, after Xia Wuji and Immortal Northstar’s departure, Li Qingshan had one more place to visit.
It was the Chang’an City Library. The tallest building in Chang’an City was a tavern with thirteen floors.
The second tallest was the library.
There were countless books in the library. On the eleventh floor, there were all kinds of books for people to read.
Points were required for entry.
The higher the floor, the more points were needed.
The first floor required one point.
The second required ten points.
The third required one hundred points.
The fourth required two hundred points.
And so forth.
The higher one went, the more points one would get. Of course, the books stored were also very precious.
Li Qingshan still possessed a thousand points, which he had been using during this period.
If his points were insufficient, Li Qingshan ventured outside, concealing his aura, adopting various disguises, or even engaging in unconventional activities.
As long as someone dared to target him for a snatch-and-grab, they were courting their demise.
Thus, Li Qingshan never lacked points.
Every night, he would carefully read in the library before returning in the early morning.
Half a year swiftly passed.
In this time, Chang’an City remained tranquil. Li Qingshan encountered no troublemakers, and Zhou Yinzu’s citywide search was nowhere to be seen.
Since he couldn’t find the murderer. he definitely wouldn’t tell anyone. Bei Rong and Emperor Xia had died in vain.
After half a year, Li Qingshan was still the same as before. He maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, the white-clad youth, like a gentle breeze and bright moon.
One evening, he returned to the library.
“Young Master Li, you’ve come again?” The girl who was collecting points in the library saw Li Qingshan and her face turned red as she greeted him warmly.
Li Qingshan was handsome and elegant. He loved reading and was a gentleman. Naturally, girls would fall in love with him.
“I’ll go to the eleventh floor today, ” Li Qingshan announced.
“The eleventh floor costs 900 points,” the girl remarked in surprise.
Few were willing to spend 900 points to access the eleventh floor for reading.
Moreover, Li Qingshan came daily, spending points generously, which only increased the girl’s liking for him.
It indicated that Li Qingshan’s background was solid, and he cared little about such expenditures.
“Then deduct my points.” Li Qingshan took out the jade token and handed it over.
The girl accepted it and touched Li Qingshan’s finger. She felt excited and returned the jade card to Li Qingshan after deducting 900 points.
“Why don’t I take you to the eleventh floor?” the girl suggested.
“No!” Li Qingshan shook his head with a smile. “It’s a sin to have a beauty accompany me up the 11th floor.”
Li Qingshan put away the jade token. He then turned around and left. Soon, he ascended the stairs and disappeared.
The girl looked at Li Qingshan’s departing figure, her eyes sparkling.
“Sister, what do you think are my chances if I confess now?” The girl asked her sister sitting beside her.
“0.5, at most,” the elder sister replied coldly.
“So low?” The girl expressed dissatisfaction.
“For the past six months, he has been coming here every day. Every time he looks at you, his gaze is very cold. Don’t even think about it. He doesn’t have you in his heart,” her sister’s cold response.
The girl sighed, feeling unhappy.
At the Library, 11th floor.
This place was empty. After all, it cost 900 points to access.
There were only a few hundred books on the eleventh floor.
Li Qingshan picked up a book and sat on the chair, reading it quietly.
This was a biography of a prominent figure. It was about cultivation, from the Human World Immortal to the Divine cultivation plane.
Li Qingshan read it carefully and remembered the contents. Then, he changed
to another book.
Only by reading more books could one truly understand the world.
Moreover, in this library, sometimes, when one looked at some cultivation techniques, one could stimulate their comprehension to the maximum level. Although it was not as good as the Reflection Cliff, one could comprehend every stele.
But for Li Qingshan, it was still good.
He observed it. Soon, dawn was approaching.
He was about to leave.
However, as he was leaving, Li Qingshan suddenly noticed a familiar name.
The Undying Holy Buddha!
This name was documented in a Buddhist sect’s biography.
Li Qingshan paused and picked up the Buddhist sect’s biography. He opened it with seriousness.
When the Undying Holy Buddha was in the Human World, he had instructed him to become an Immortal.
“Five thousand years ago, a monk appeared in the Dimensional Battlefield. He traversed the world alone, using his Indestructible Golden Body to sweep across the Path of Immortality. He suppressed all enemies and was impervious to all techniques. Some claimed that he had already become an Immortal.”
“Unfortunately, the Undying Holy Buddha met his demise in the center of the battlefield. Regrettably, the Indestructible Golden Body was ultimately shattered.”
Only these two sentences were recorded in the book. The speaker was sparse, with nothing more.
Li Qingshan furrowed his brow. “The Undying Holy Buddha seemed to have become an Immortal. He was invincible in the Dimensional Battlefield and was also invicible on the Path to Immortality. However, he perished in the central battlefield?”
This was the first time Li Qingshan had heard of the Underlying Holy Buddha after entering the dimensional battlefield for almost two years..
