A Human World Buddha and also a Human World Immortal.
Li Qingshan raised his head in the Great Thunderclap Temple and looked up. He felt a sense of familiarity from the formation above his head and the Buddha’s Golden Body, which was 500 feet tall.
“The Undying Holy Buddha eventually left some trump cards for the Great Thunderclap Temple. Even though they fought with each other, it was ultimately still his sect.” Li Qingshan thought to himself.
Everyone’s eyes were on him.
The monks of the Great Thunderclap Temple looked at Li Qingshan’s almost Buddha-like posture. They knelt in fear and trepidation, chanting Buddhist scripture.
Li Qingshan ignored them.
He looked at the White Dragon King.
The existence he once regarded as his nemesis was no longer a match for him.
Perhaps Li Qingshan had grown too fast, or perhaps the White Dragon King had lost his elegance of scheming from 3,000 years ago.
“Long time no see, White Dragon King.” Li Qingshan smiled and greeted.
The White Dragon King looked at Li Qingshan. His body was trembling. But it wasn’t because he was afraid. It was because he was old and couldn’t help but tremble.
The White Dragon King knew that he had completely failed.
The 15 top-notch experts whom he had invited could not accept the fact that their remaining lives had been instantly drained and could only wait for their deaths in silence.
Tears streamed down their faces as they knelt before Li Qingshan, begging for his forgiveness.
They had returned to the Human World after struggling in the Dimensional Battlefield for 3,000 years without dying. They initially wanted to tyrannize over others and spend the rest of their lives happily.
Who knew that a moment of error would result in their current situation.
Li Qingshan ignored them. Their fate had been decided from the moment they promised the White Dragon King to deal with him.
“I thought you would wait for a while more before waking up. I didn’t expect you to wake up so early.” Li Qingshan and the White Dragon King chatted like old friends.
The White Dragon King smiled bitterly and accepted the fact that he had failed. He knew that there was nothing he could do to reverse the situation.
“I was supposed to wake up after some time. By then, I would have returned to the Human World Immortal Plane instead of being at the Nirvana Pinnacle Plane now.” The White Dragon King said through gritted teeth.
The time he had planned for himself was enough for him to completely recover his severed Divine Soul and step into the Human World Immortal Plane.
But God’s plan was better than man’s.
Who would have thought that the Zombie Chaser Sect would go and dig up his tomb, wake him up from his slumber, and prevent him from completing his cultivation?
“It seems that the person who spied on me at the old Yuhua Sect Mountain was you.” Li Qingshan said calmly with his hands behind his back.
“After waking up, I followed the clues and found you.” The White Dragon King nodded.
“It’s a pity that after I’ve calculated everything. I didn’t expect you to be so terrifying. In such a short time, you went from the Ultimate Plane to the Nirvana Plane and reached the Human World Immortal Plane. All the arrangements have become a joke. Judging from your age, you’re definitely not even 50 years old, but you’ve already reached the Human World Immortal Plane. There was never such a brilliant person 3,000 years ago. I don’t feel wronged for losing to you.” The White Dragon King sighed.
“Before you die, can you tell me why you sealed this world’s Great Path and Spiritual Qi 3,000 years ago? Could it be you want to be a king in a world without any cultivators?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
The White Dragon King’s expression was strange. He had been drained of his lifespan, and standing for a long time made him very tired. So he sat down and looked at Li Qingshan. He panted as he asked, “Have you been to the
Dimensional Battlefield?”
“No, I haven’t.” Li Qingshan answered.
“You have never been there, so you naturally don’t know how cruel the
Dimensional Battlefield is. These 15 people are like ants in the Dimensional Battlefield, not worth mentioning. The reason why they didn’t die was because no one would deliberately step on a few ants. But if the ants blocked someone’s path, they would be trampled to death.” The White Dragon King pointed at the 15 top-notch experts he had invited and said indifferently.
Those 15 top-notch experts looked angry but were powerless to argue with the White Dragon King because what he said was the truth.
“So what if they are ants? Did you seal the Great World Path and Spiritual Qi just because of that?” Li Qingshan frowned and asked.
“Of course not. I just don’t want to go to the Dimensional Battlefield anymore.
However, once the Immortal Path Golden Ranking descends into the Dimensional Battlefield, the people on the ranking must go to the Dimensional Battlefield. You know that I’m the White Dragon King, but what you don’t know is that I had two other identities before I was the White Dragon King.” The White Dragon King said calmly.
“I used those two identities to enter the Dimensional Battlefield and stayed there for 20 years. During those 20 years, I benefited a lot. However, my improvement was nothing compared to those monsters in the Dimensional Battlefield. Therefore, after returning to the Human World for the second time,
I knew I couldn’t go to the Dimensional Battlefield again. However, I was a
Human World Immortal. When the Immortal Path Golden Ranking descended,
I would definitely be on the ranking, so I had to go a third time.”
“After the first two times, I was already mentally and physically exhausted. I was living in fear every day in the Dimensional Battlefield. Those people were like mad dogs snatching points and lives everywhere. I could only hide in a corner and tremble, not daring to go out.”
“I’ve had enough of those days. The Dimensional Battlefield shouldn’t have existed. A long, long time ago, there was no such thing. At that time, if the experts of the Human World wanted to enter the Immortal Plane, they would have to rely on their own power to open the passage between the Immortal Plane and the Human World. That was great. As long as you have enough power, you could ascend.”
“However, everything changed. I clearly knew that if I didn’t make any changes, I would be tortured to death by the Dimensional Battlefield. Thus, I found the ancient formation and discovered the breach in the Boiling Water Prison. And a plan then appeared in my mind..”
