“The cost of entering the Human World is too high. Without the Path of Immortality, we would have to pay at least dozens of times the price.
Moreover, the current Human World can’t accommodate beings above the Earthly Immortal level. We can only suppress our cultivation level to Human Immortal, and it’s too uncomfortable,” the young man muttered.
“Do you want to control the Human World?” The white-haired old man asked.
“In the past, the Human World was full of geniuses, and abundant resources, and we gained a lot by controlling it. However, the current Human World is getting more turbid. The number of geniuses is dwindling. In recent centuries, there have been several upheavals. Instead of facing the threat of being discovered by the Celestial Court and continuing to control the Human World, it’s better to let go now. Let the Human World live or perish on its own. We’ve already harvested enough, so let’s cut ties,” the middle-aged man calmly stated.
“Cutting ties is acceptable. I agree!” The white-haired old man nodded. His gaze was profound as he spoke, “The current Human World is indeed not as promising as it used to be. Moreover, the Immortal Plane is in turmoil. The Celestial Court is weakening. It’s like a sick tiger, powerful but reluctant to show its strength. In the days to come, there will surely be upheavals.”
“Therefore, cutting ties now is the wisest choice. The Celestial Court is a sick tiger, but it’s still a tiger. Everyone fears its might. We don’t need the Human World anymore,” the young man hurriedly responded.
The white-haired elder looked at his son and grandson, lowered his eyes, and said in a cold tone, “I set up the Dimensional Battlefield in the Human World. Even if we choose not to control it anymore, we should abandon it ourselves rather than let others seize it. The two of you, descend to the lower realm, enter the Human World, and eliminate the person who destroyed the Dimensional Battlefield I set up.”
“Grandpa, entering the Human World requires at least ten million Immortal Crystals. For two people, it’s twenty million,” the young man complained.
The white-haired elder instantly stared expressionlessly at the young man. The coldness in his eyes froze the young man’s expression, and his heart skipped a beat.
“Father, we’ll go to the Human World immediately. Rest assured, we’ll kill that person,” the middle-aged man hurriedly said.
The white-haired elder closed his eyes and waved his hand indifferently, saying, “Go.”
The middle-aged man pulled the young man out, swiftly distancing themselves.
“Father, why does Grandfather insist on us entering the Human World? The Human World is so murky, and we’re cutting ties with it anyway. It doesn’t make a difference whether we kill that Human Immortal or not,” the young man complained.
The middle-aged man calmly responded, “When your grandfather just took over the family, our clan’s decline was evident. Everyone said we would be defeated under your grandfather’s leadership.”
“But he refused to accept defeat. He took a different path. When everyone looked down on the Human World, he secretly manipulated it, controlled the Human World, hid the Gate of Immortality, and set up the Dimensional Battlefield, creating a situation of nurturing Venomous Bugs. Then, he plundered the resources of the Human World and revitalized the clan overnight.”
“Now, tens of thousands of years have passed. Your grandfather has retired, and our clan has revived. It can be said that the Dimensional Battlefield in the Human World is your grandfather’s most important masterpiece in his entire life. He is proud of it.”
“With the current tense situation and the Human World depleted of resources by us, becoming extremely turbid, your grandfather agreed to cut ties. But that doesn’t mean he can tolerate someone destroying the most important masterpiece of his life.”
“Cutting ties ourselves is one thing. If others destroy it, they will die. Your grandfather wants you to kill someone. Why are you still unwilling? Are you an idiot?” The middle-aged man explained a lot and then scolded me.
The young man suddenly realized. “Someone destroyed the Dimensional Battlefield, equivalent to slapping Grandfather’s face. He’s very angry. Although he decided to cut ties, he still wanted us to kill that person. Father, let’s go to the Human World. I’ll personally kill him to make Grandfather happy.”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, “Although parting with 20 million Immortal Crystals is painful, as long as it brings joy to your grandfather, we must do it. Don’t forget, you are the next successor to the family, and several brothers are competing with you.”
The young man, upon hearing this, immediately urged, “What are we waiting for? Hurry up, don’t keep Grandpa waiting.”
In the Human World.
Within the Peach Blossom Forest.
Li Qingshan closed his eyes, deep in contemplation.
He had explored high and low, yet there was still no trace of the Gate of Immortality.
“Where could they have hidden the Gate of Immortality?” Li Qingshan furrowed his brow.
It was inconceivable for the Gate of Immortality to be absent from the Human World.
Then, where could it be?
Li Qingshan tried to think from a different perspective. If he were the one hiding the Gate of Immortality, where would he place it?
“In the Human World, are there places that remain untouched by humanity for thousands of years? What other options are there?” Li Qingshan rubbed his glabella, finding the thought process challenging.
His head began to ache from the mental exertion.
At that moment, the Heavenly Emperor approached and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen Li Qingshan troubled like this.”
Li Qingshan looked up and noticed that everyone else had also emerged.
“Aren’t you all supposed to be in seclusion?” Li Qingshan inquired.
“We’ve decided to assist you in figuring out the whereabouts of the Immortal gate,” Little Nine suggested.
“Today, let’s take a break and brainstorm together. We are certain to come up with something,” Immortal Northstar recommended.
“Sir, I’ve delved into ancient records and came across some information. The Gate of Immortality is also known as the Heaven Gate. It serves as a portal connecting the Human World and the Immortal Plane. The appearance of the Gate of Immortality is highly diverse. According to various documented sources, its appearance changes every time,” A’wei shared this information with him.
Li Qingshan’s expression shifted. This was a piece of valuable information..
