“You know, there is a group of people who want to get their hands on the Natural Dao Scripture, but they can’t pressure you through the Celestial Court.
So, someone came to me.”
“I once had a good friend who I met when I was young. We spent more than a hundred years together and he saved me. However, after that, our ideological differences grew, so we parted ways.”
“But he saved me. I have to return the favor.’
“So in the past eight thousand years, I helped him a total of eight times. All eight times were life-and-death situations.”
“Later on, I got tired of living in the outside world, so I came to the Celestial Court Academy and became an elderly gatekeeper.
“This time, he came to me, hoping that I could persuade you to hand over the
Natural Dao Scripture and make a contribution to the revival of the Celestial
Court.”
“I wanted to refuse, but then I thought about it and came anyway. I knew you wouldn’t agree.”
“I’ve repaid him nine times for saving my life. That’s enough.’
Taoist Dragon narrated his story.
Li Qingshan nodded and sneered. “For the future of the Celestial Court, they dare to say anything. I can’t afford to be labeled as such.”
Taoist Dragon sighed, “There are indeed significant internal problems in the current Celestial Court.’
“Since there’s such a big problem, why don’t the several Emperors take action to rectify them?” Li Qingshan asked in confusion.
“Because… The Emperors who created the Celestial Court are different from before.” Taoist Dragon hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.
“The current bloated state of the Celestial Court is caused by the descendants of the Emperors. No one dares to manage it.”
Li Qingshan suddenly realized that this was another story of a dragon slayer becoming an evil dragon.
This was an ancient topic.
In youth, full of vigor and determination, one stares at the evil dragon, brimming with killing intent.
In middle age, gradually becoming stable, one stands on the corpse of the evil dragon, enjoying the worship of all.
In old age, the youth has sailed through a thousand sails. Upon turning around, they find themselves with an enormous dragon tail.
Very few people could see through fame and fortune, see through everything in the world. and persistently pursue their own goals.
Therefore, after Taoist Dragon said that, Li Qingshan immediately understood.
“This matter ends here. Tell them my attitude truthfully. Then, let’s discuss our own affairs.” Li Qingshan sealed the topic, looked at Taoist Dragon, and said seriously.
Taoist Dragon blinked and asked, “What affairs do we have?”.
Li Qingshan smiled and said slowly, “I remember someone enticing me to the
Prodigy Battlefield, promising generous rewards for achieving a good rank.”
“Now that I’ve obtained a ranking, it should meet someone’s definition of a good rank, right?” Li Qingshan stared at Taoist Dragon.
Taoist Dragon suddenly understood. He clapped his hands and said, “You’re talking about this matter? No problem. What kind of reward do you want?”
Li Qingshan said with satisfaction, “I hope you can help me go to Boiling Water Prison and rescue a girl named Hua Yun.”
The agreement between Li Qingshan and Hua Yun was for twenty years.
Twenty years were still early, but Li Qingshan already had a way to rescue her.
If he could rescue her, he would definitely do it now. Li Qingshan wouldn’t let Hua Yun stay in Boiling Water Prison for the sake of the 20-year agreement.
Coming out a day earlier was a good thing for Hua Yun.
Seeing this, Taoist Dragon immediately agreed. “No problem. It’s a small matter. Boiling Water Prison seems to be a very small prison. I’ll arrange for someone to bring Hua Yun out later!”
Li Qingshan’s face lit up with a genuine smile. It came from the bottom of his heart. Hua Yun could finally come out.
“Also, you need to help me check if these people are among the new members of the Celestial Court.” Li Qingshan immediately told Taoist Dragon the names and information of Little Nine, Little Fox, A’wei, and Five Ghosts.
He wasn’t sure if they had entered the Immortal Plane, so he asked Taoist Dragon to check.
“It’s a small matter!” Taoist Dragon agreed immediately. To him, it was indeed a small matter.
Naturally, someone would run errands.
“However, are these people you mentioned your relatives?” Taoist Dragon asked curiously.
“Yes, they are my closest friends and relatives.” Li Qingshan nodded.
Taoist Dragon immediately paid more attention to these two matters.
“You don’t have to worry about these two small matters. What other wishes do you have?” Taoist Dragon took a sip of tea and asked.
Li Qingshan asked earnestly, “Is there any place in the Celestial Court that is quiet and filled with knowledge, such as the cemetery or the stele forest?” “Cemetery, stele forest?” Taoist Dragon frowned and thought.
He quickly filtered through a lot of information. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and asked, “You want to comprehend some of the Great Path information left behind by the predecessors. right?”
Li Qingshan nodded decisively. That was what he thought.
He had the maxed-level comprehension skill, so it was extremely easy for him to comprehend it.
“In my memory, there really is such a place,” said Taoist Dragon.
Li Qingshan looked at Taoist Dragon expectantly.
“However, this place doesn’t belong to the Celestial Court. It belongs to the entire Immortal Plane. People from all forces can enter. It doesn’t fit your description of a quiet place,” said Taoist Dragon.
“Where is it?” Li Qingshan frowned and asked.
“The Starry Sky Cemetery!” said Taoist Dragon.
“What is the Starry Sky Cemetery?” Li Qingshan asked in confusion.
“In this world, when one’s cultivation reaches the realm of Inherited
Immortals, after they die, some of the remaining Dao Rhymes flow into the Starry Sky Battlefield. Some will become a tomb, some will become a wandering soul without consciousness, and some will disappear and change randomly..”
