Chapter 247: Breaking Through While Lying in the Rain at Night (1)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the mountain peak, Li Qingshan enjoyed the night breeze and progressed contentedly.
Amidst the external turmoil caused by the appearance of the Qinling Emperor and several other emperors making their moves, and the uproar stirred by the Emperor Scripture.
Li Qingshan ignored all of this.
He remained within the Celestial Court Academy, inaccessible to outsiders. Even if they tried to coerce or entice him, they couldn’t even catch a glimpse of Li Qingshan.
He had a sense of “hiding in a small building, indifferent to the seasons.”
As long as he stayed inside, the external turmoil couldn’t disturb him.
As time passed, no matter how big the matter was, it would be accepted by the world and become ordinary.
Therefore, within the Celestial Court Academy, Li Qingshan cultivated quietly and contentedly, striving to break through to the Ancestor Immortal Realm as soon as possible, and then enter the Starry Sky Cemetery that Taoist Dragon mentioned.
Time passed. Three days passed in a flash. Li Qingshan had been comprehending the Dao for the past three days. The 3,000 Great Paths were immense, and he needed to comprehend them at all times.
During these three days, Taoist Dragon didn’t show up. He was busy with some matters.
Three days later, he came to find Li Qingshan.
On the mountain peak where the breeze was gentle, white clouds gathered like cotton candy. They scattered in the sky but also seemed to have fallen into the water. The sky was as clean as a mirror, reflecting countless light shadows on the mountain peak. It was beautiful.
During this period, Li Qingshan enjoyed the beautiful scenery leisurely. Sometimes he drank tea, and sometimes he wrote. He cultivated his temperament and washed away his previous fatigue.
He regained the tranquility and mindset he once had in the Human World, on the Repentance Cliff.
In these peaceful days, he grasped every trace of emotion and made his cultivation improve. In a corner that no one knew about, he quietly became stronger.
These days made Li Qingshan’s temperament even more indifferent, imbued with the demeanor of an immortal, and deepened his understanding of the Dao.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your life is more leisurely and happy than mine,” Taoist Dragon said enviously.
Li Qingshan was dressed in a black robe with white clouds interweaving on the hem. His temperament was as calm as a breeze.
“You’re old, but you’re still strong and energetic. How can you compare to me?” Li Qingshan said calmly.
“You don’t have the passion of a young man at all.” Taoist Dragon curled his lips. He couldn’t stand Li Qingshan’s behavior.
“If you count the time I’ve spent in seclusion, I’m already close to a hundred years old. In the Human World, mortals live for a hundred years. I’m already an ancestor. It’s not normal for me to still have the passion of a youth,” Li Qingshan said clearly.
“Nonsense. I’m almost 10,000 years old, yet I’m still vigorous. Every morning when I wake up, it’s like holding up the sky.” Taoist Dragon snorted at Li
Qingshan’s words. A hundred years old was only a child in the Immortal World.
“Then you should find a girl who’s ten thousand years old and get married. It’s not good for your health to keep holding it in,” Li Qingshan calmly added a provocative remark.
“Can’t I go find a younger one?” Priest Long said indignantly.
“Then you should find a divine doctor to tighten up that sagging skin. There will be a glimmer of hope,” Li Qingshan said.
“I haven’t seen you for a few days and you’ve become so sarcastic,” Taoist Dragon gritted his teeth and said. Li Qingshan’s words made his blood pressure rise, and he was grinding his teeth.
Li Qingshan continued to gaze calmly at the sea of clouds and said, “Lies don’t hurt people. The truth is the sharpest knife!”
Taoist Dragon begged for mercy. He realized that he couldn’t win Li Qingshan in a good argument. “Let’s not talk about this. Let’s change the topic. I have the information you asked me to inquire about regarding the Boiling Water Prison and the new members of the Celestial Court.’
This revelation stirred Li Qingshan. His eyes shifted and asked curiously,
“What have you found out?”
Taoist Dragon said, “Things are a bit out of your expectation.”
Li Qingshan lowered his eyes. His heart sank, but he said calmly, “Go ahead. I can take it very well.”
“Didn’t you ask me to go to Boiling Water Prison and bring out a woman called Hua Yun?” Taoist Dragon said.
Li Qingshan nodded. It was a piece of cake for Taoist Dragon.
Taoist Dragon continued, “It’s a piece of cake for me. Three days ago, after I
left, I immediately gave an order to Boiling Water Prison. I asked them to send me Hua Yun in one piece. I asked them to be respectful.” After saying that, Taoist Dragon looked at Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan looked at Taoist Dragon calmly and said, “Go on.”
Taoist Dragon went on, “Unexpectedly, today, I received a message from the highest administrator of Boiling Water Prison.”
“He told me that Hua Yun is no longer in Boiling Water Prison,” Taoist Dragon added.
Li Qingshan frowned slightly. He stood with his hands behind his back. His fingers touched each other slightly. He said in surprise, “Why isn’t Hua Yun in the Boiling Water Prison?”
When he was in the Human World, Hua Yun had mentioned that it would be hundreds of years before she could come out.
Moreover, Hua Yun was just an unremarkable little girl in the Boiling Water
Prison. She came from the Human World and her cultivation was not strong. She could only hide in a corner and not get into conflict with others to protect herself.
Therefore, she was able to find the loophole and communicate with Li Qingshan.
Everything was fine before. How long had Li Qingshan been in the Immortal Plane? Hua Yun was no longer in Boiling Water Prison?
There must be a problem here.
Li Qingshan stared at Taoist Dragon, his gaze gradually turning stern.
He remained silent. His face was terrifyingly calm, and his gaze made Taoist Dragon’s heart tremble.
Facing Li Qingshan’s expression and gaze, he, a peerless expert of the Celestial Court, couldn’t help but lower his stance. Subconsciously, he was actually afraid of Li Qingshan..
