Chapter 44: Book of the Great Path
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Little Nine brought some news and left after discussing it with Li Qingshan for a long time.
Only Li Qingshan and the Little Fox were left on the Repentance Cliff.
Their days were peaceful.
The Little Fox had spent a lot of effort and energy to awaken the Nine-Tailed. She stayed in Li Qingshan’s arms for three days and refused to leave.
Every day, Li Qingshan would transfer True Qi to it, nourish its meridians, recuperate its body, and calm the violent energy of the Nine-Tailed.
The Little Fox felt that Li Qingshan’s embrace was warmer than anywhere else in the world.
Just like the warmth it felt when it was in its mother’s womb.
It couldn’t bear to leave.
Therefore, even after it had recovered and adapted to the Nine-Tailed’s ability, it nestled in Li Qingshan’s arms whenever it had time.
Li Qingshan was very happy to see the Little Fox so dependent on him. He remembered that a few years ago, the Little Fox would quickly leave whenever it saw him. It was very vigilant.
Compared to right then, the Little Fox would cling to him as long as it had a chance and refused to leave.
Li Qingshan won the Little Fox’s dependence in just a few years through his performance.
Just like that, Li Qingshan brought the Little Fox with him when he cultivated, comprehended the Dao, and admired the flowers…
Everything on the Repentance Cliff was peaceful, but the outside world was turbulent.
The Heavenly Path Sect, which had been silent for three months, was waiting for a piece of news.
They were waiting for the top-notch expert from the Northwest to make his move.
They were waiting for the news of the fall of the mysterious expert from Yuhua Sect.
They had been waiting.
However, what they received in the end was the news of the fall of that Northwest top-notch expert.
When the news reached the Heavenly Path Sect, all the higher-ups couldn’t believe it. They watched in silence.
In the Sect Leader Hall of the Heavenly Path Sect, all the Elders with cultivation levels above the Fifth Heaven Great Venerable had arrived. They sat around a rectangular round table, and every Elder’s expression was not too good.
They looked at the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Path Sect, who presided over the meeting.
Silence.
No one spoke.
Everyone was still in shock.
An Elder asked after a long while, “Have you confirmed the authenticity of this news?”
Although the news was spreading like wildfire in the outside world, there were many experts who investigated the situation on the spot and confirmed that the spear in the aftermath of the battle had belonged to the Northwest Gun King.
The weapon was broken on the spot. The Northwest Gun King’s whereabouts were unknown. Everyone looked at the traces within the ten-mile radius and had the answer in their hearts.
However, when the news reached the Heavenly Path Sect, they were still unwilling to believe it.
The reputation of the Northwest Gun King was born from his many collaborations with the Heavenly Path Sect. No one knew the Northwest Gun King’s power better than the Heavenly Path Sect.
He was a true genius.
Even a domineering sect like the Heavenly Path Sect respected the Northwest
Gun King.
How could he fall?
“I asked Patriarch Baihua just now, and she told me with certainty that the Northwest Gun King has fallen.” The Heavenly Path Sect’s Sect Leader said in a hoarse voice with a gloomy face.
As soon as he said that, the entire place fell silent.
Everyone’s hope was extinguished.
“The mysterious expert hidden in Yuhua Sect is actually so terrifying?” An Elder asked in disbelief.
“Rumor has it that the hidden expert in Yuhua Sect is Wu Shaobai. Did our spies in Yuhua Sect find out anything?” An Elder asked.
“No. Even Yuhua Sect doesn’t know where the mysterious expert is hiding. How will our spies know?” Hei Shuitian replied coldly.
“Now that things have come to this, it’s useless to say anything more. The
Northwest Gun King has fallen. We have to change our attitude towards Yuhua
Sect. As long as that mysterious expert is alive, we cannot deal with Yuhua Sect. A single person can suppress a sect. Without the patriarchs, what else can we do to deal with Yuhua Sect?” The Heavenly Path Sect’s Elder of Justice asked coldly.
“What are the patriarchs doing? That mysterious expert from Yuhua Sect is already a threat. We have to get rid of him.” An Elder asked Hei Shuitian.
Hei Shuitian took a deep breath and said, “The patriarchs have caught a trace of the Saint Plane aura and are trying to break through. We can’t disturb them. No matter how powerful the mysterious expert of Yuhua Sect is, he is just one person. He is not worth mentioning if he can’t break through the Human World
Pass.”
“Let him exist for a few days more. That mysterious expert can only stabilize the Yuhua Sect. When the patriarchs successfully break through and comprehend the Human World Pass, destroying the Yuhua Sect will only be at the snap of their fingers.” Hei Shuitian said coldly.
“So, we will just let Yuhua Sect continue to be arrogant?” Some Elders were dissatisfied.
It had always been the Heavenly Path Sect that bullied others. Since when could others bully the Heavenly Path Sect?
The Elders, who were used to being arrogant, could not endure that.
Seeing that, Hei Shuitian felt helpless. When the Heavenly Path Sect had conquered the world, their achievements were too brilliant and invincible. And that shifted many people’s mindsets, and they thought it should always be the case.
To appease those indignant Elders, Hei Shuitian said calmly, “Although we can’t target the mysterious expert in Yuhua Sect, we can still carry out the execution plan. Recently, Yuhua Sect and Longevity Demonic Sect will be exchanging resources again. Feng Baiyu will be liaising. Let’s send our number one assassin to teach Yuhua Sect a deep lesson.”
“As for the other matters, we’ll talk about them after the patriarchs break through.” After saying that, Hei Shuitian stood and left the Sect Leader Hall. Those indignant Elders felt satisfied at that moment. Being able to behead the current Sect Leader of Yuhua Sect appeased their anger.
Those people left the Sect Leader Hall one by one.
In the evening, just before dawn, a dark shadow walked out of the Heavenly Path Sect and disappeared into the night.
On the Repentance Cliff in Yuhua Sect.
[Your serious wiping activated Maxed-Level Comprehension, and you’ve comprehended Omnidirectional Massacre!]
Li Qingshan stopped before a stele, and a line of words appeared before him.
Omnidirectional Massacre!
That was a very terrifying offensive technique. It was a Saint’s skill that could instantly increase one’s power by ten times and kill the enemy.
But the side effects were also huge. After using it, one’s root bone would be damaged and one would need to rest for one to three days.
Li Qingshan blinked and said, “Ordinary cultivators will damage their root bones when they use this skill because they only have one root bone. However, I have a dense forest with countless towering trees growing in it. They are all my root bones, so this side effect is minimal for me.”
That was the benefit of Li Qingshan planting his root bone with the
Immortality Method and growing it into a forest.
After wiping the stele that day, Li Qingshan had comprehended that skill. He no longer had the mood to wipe other skills.
Back in front of the bamboo hut, Li Qingshan kept practicing that skill, treating it as his killing move.
After his cultivation, Li Qingshan took a bath and washed his sweat away.
Under the sunset, he sat on a chair and carried the Little Fox, thinking silently.
“I’m already a Ninth Heaven Great Venerable. I’m not far from the Human
World Pass, just one step away.”
That step was nothing to Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan’s current goal was not the Human World Pass.
It was the Saint Plane behind the Human World Pass.
In the past three thousand years, there had not been a single Saint in the world. All the cultivators thought it was the effect of Heaven and Earth and the effect of the Spiritual Qi Tide’s repetition. They did not expect that it was a man-made event.
Perhaps it had something to do with imagination. The existing strongest cultivators in the world had only entered the Human World Pass. They could not imagine that someone could use an ancient formation to imprison the World’s Great Path. That was an incredible thing.
But Li Qingshan knew.
He also knew that he had to carry out that sword slash if he wanted to break through the Saint Plane.
Therefore, during that period, he had to take some time daily to cultivate the Heaven Slicing Sword Technique.
Just like the Sword God of the Old Millennium Calendar who slashed at the world.
However, Li Qingshan had no confidence in that move.
He still needed to continue accumulating.
“I’ll continue to train my sword, comprehend the Dao, and improve myself. I still have a lot of time.” Li Qingshan comforted himself.
He was neither anxious nor impatient.
He stayed calm and watched the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard. He had no intention of leaving or staying, just following the clouds in the sky.
Li Qingshan lived a simple and fulfilling life.
He placed his attention on the Million Stele Forest.
“If I can continue to improve, it must be because of this Million Stele Forest.” Li Qingshan knew deep down that his greatest advantage was his Maxed -Level Comprehension skill.
The one thing that was most compatible with the Maxed-Level Comprehension skill was the Million Stele Forest in front of him.
Therefore, Li Qingshan gradually went deeper.
He brought the Little Fox along, and they shuttled through the steles.
Some steles were hundreds of years old, some were thousands of years old, and some were tens of thousands of years old.
As they went deeper and passed the area where the bamboo hut was located, the steles became more profound and bigger.
That day, Li Qingshan wiped a stele that had been untouched for a long time.
That stele was at least a few thousand years old. It had weathered the wind and rain, and its surface was full of holes. Its corners had already corroded.
Li Qingshan saw a book on it.
Unlike the other steles, that was the first time a book had been carved on it.
That attracted Li Qingshan’s attention.
What did a book represent?
Sir Li was very curious. He took the Little Fox with him to clean that stele together.
They tore off the vines, wiped the dust, and repaired the damaged parts of the stele.
Soon, the stele became dignified.
The book carved on it also became lifelike, with clear lines.
Only then did Li Qingshan stand in front of the stele. He needed to raise his head to see the book on the stele. As he watched, he was entranced.
Boom!
Illusions appeared before Li Qingshan’s eyes. It was as if he had arrived in a world thousands of years ago.
A peerless figure with an unparalleled aura held a floating book in his hand and continuously bombarded the enemies.
Countless Great Paths jumped out of that book.
The scene before Li Qingshan changed rapidly. It was like the scenes flew past him and kept changing. The scenes of all kinds of experts fighting were overwhelming.
In the end, Li Qingshan only remembered that that book would be present whenever there was a battle.
Kacha!
In the end, the scene shattered, and Li Qingshan’s consciousness returned to his body. The illusion before him disappeared, leaving only the stele he had wiped clean.
