Chapter 185: The Great Path of Death (1)
Li Qingshan had successfully converted the spiritual Qi in his body into Immortal Energy, elevating his power to a new level.
Li Qingshan’s energy was exceptionally powerful. It took him a whole day and night to complete the conversion. The 365 chiliocosms were undoubtedly Li Qingshan’s strong support.
After the successful conversion, Li Qingshan stood up and expressed satisfaction as he said, “Now I can look up some information and learn more about the Immortal Plane.”
What flowed in his body now was Immortal Energy, not spiritual Qi. He could breathe freely and cultivate without worrying about incompatibility.
“I’ve been absorbing Immortal Energy an entire day. General Bai definitely knows about it, but he didn’t show up, which means he doesn’t mind. I can be at ease. There are so many books here, and it’s the best place for me. Although it’s the Hell-start, as long as I work hard and become stronger, I can overcome the challenges of the Hell-start and safely pass through.” Li Qingshan muttered in his heart. He was very confident in himself. The next step was to earnestly examine the information.
This mansion was abundant in books. To Li Qingshan, this was the best place.
He picked up a book and flipped through it seriously.
This book recorded the deeds of the Celestial Court. It recorded the development of the Celestial Court, and Li Qingshan read it with great interest.
“It turns out that the Celestial Court has been established for millions of years and has always been a top force in the Immortal Plane. Its jurisdiction covers four continents, four oceans, vast territories, and a population in the billions, with numerous dimensions under its control. The Human World is just one of the relatively large dimensions.” Li Qingshan looked at the contents of the book in surprise.
As he continued to read, he had a better understanding of the huge Celestial Court.
“The Celestial Court has millions of Celestial Soldiers, ten top-tier generals guarding ten directions, four Celestial Lords, and millions of officials managing its vast territories.”
“The Master of the Celestial Court is called the Emperor. At the peak of the
Celestial Court, six Emperors suppressed the world and were indestructible!”
“Unfortunately, as time passed, the Demon Emperor of the Nine Heavens fell, the Zhenwu Emperor of the East dissolution his army, and the Gouchen Emperor of the West went into seclusion for 50,000 years and has yet to show his face. The Changsheng Emperor of the South has been replaced by several generations and is far weaker than before. Only the Heavenly Circuit Ziwei Emperor and the Central Jade Emperor are left to suppress the Celestial Court, maintaining the prestige from ancient times to the present.”
“However, new generations of experts continue to rise, challenging the Celestial Court. Its power is declining like an aging elder struggling to adapt to the surging waves of a new era.”
Li Qinzshan finished reading the book and exclaimed in surprise. “No wonder the three factions joined forces to attack the 81 Emperor’s Pass. It turns out that the Celestial Court is showing signs of decline. Only two and a half of the six Emperors are left. The others naturally covet the vast territory of the Celestial Court.”
Six great Emperors had two fallen. One had gone into seclusion and had not shown himself for 50,000 years. The other had been replaced by several generations and had long lost his terrifying Imperial Emperor power.
Now, the Celestial Court had only two Emperors left, the Heavenly Ziwei Emperor and the Central Jade Emperor.
The two of them had accompanied the Celestial Court all the way to the present. They were truly elderly figures. With the arrival of the new era, the Celestial Court has become more and more decrepit. Without the two of them, it might have collapsed in an instant.
The three major forces of the Monster Clan, Demon Realm, and Hell had long set their eyes on the Celestial Court. From time to time, they would stir up trouble and cut their flesh with blunt knives to consume the power of the Celestial Court.
After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even if the Celestial Court was decaying and aging, the two Emperors’ lifetime achievements are remarkable. Even in old age, they are not to be humiliated.
After reading this book, Li Qingshan continued to read other books. He became interested and wanted to know more about the Celestial Court and the Immortal Plane.
‘ How did the Demon Emperor of the Nine Heavens and the Zhenwu Emperor of the East fall?” Li Qingshan was very curious. He looked through other books to see if there were any records of this.
Indeed, he found them.
The Demon Emperor of the Nine Heavens fell five hundred thousand years ago during a calamity that erupted in the Immortal Plane. Hell surged into the
Immortal Plane and wanted to merge the two dimensions. The Yamas of the Ten Halls in Hell launched an attack together and shook the Immortal Plane. At that time, the Celestial Court was the first to bear the brunt. The Demon Emperor of the Nine Heavens wielded his celestial artifact Devil-rinsing
Emperor killed in all directions. He held his own immortal weapon, the Demon-slaying Sword, and fought five of the Yamas of the Ten Halls. In the end, he died in that battle.
The fall of the Demon Emperor of the Nine Heavens angered the Celestial Court. The other five Emperors went to suppress Hell together and killed four of the Yamas of the Ten Halls, completely suppressing Hell.
Now, 500,000 years had passed, and Hell was ready to make a move again. However, they had learned their lesson and no longer fought against the Celestial Court alone. Instead, they began to form alliances.
In 300,000 years after the fall of the Demon Emperor of the Nine Heavens, the Zhenwu Emperor of the East dissolved his army, but Li Qingshan didn’t find the reason.
The book said that there was something fishy about this matter. No one knew the details, and the Celestial Court knew very little about it. It was only suddenly announced that the Zhenwu Emperor of the East had dissolved the army, and the Celestial Court had lost an Emperor.
Even now, 200,000 years later, this matter remains a mystery.
Li Qingshan checked further and was curious why the Changsheng Emperor of the South had changed several generations.
Surprisingly, he found the answer. The Changsheng Emperor of the South had lived for an exceptionally long time and encountered the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. During that calamity, he failed to overcome it and sadly perished. He passed on the title of Emperor to his descendants and so it was inherited through generations, leading to the changing of several generations.
“Immortals aren’t eternal? They will also encounter the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. Even Emperors can fall.” Li Qingshan looked on in surprise..
