Li Qingshan nodded. “In any world, in any society, the people at the bottom are always the majority, while the top-tier individuals are just a small group.
Trying to break into that elite circle is exceedingly difficult.”
“Now that you’ve transformed the Human World Path into the Immortal Path, what’s your next move?” Immortal Northstar asked curiously.
“I intend to find the legendary Gate of Immortality!” Li Qingshan took a deep breath, his gaze determined.
He was already invincible in the Human World, and he could ascend to the Immortal Plane at this moment.
However, Li Qingshan remembered his promise to the Undying Holy Buddha. He vowed to carve a path for the Human World, free from the constraints of the Dimensional Battlefield. He must open the Gate of Immortality with his sword.
“Do you know where the Gate of Immortality is then?” Immortal Northstar inquired.
Li Qingshan shook his head and replied, “In fact, ever since the Dimensional Battlefield was established, the Gate of Immortality disappeared. It has been tens of thousands of years, and the Gate of Immortality hasn’t reappeared.”
This question didn’t just lack an answer for Li Qingshan but for the entire world.
“I’ll offer you a perspective,” Immortal Northstar said, noticing Li Qingshan’s troubled expression.
“Please, go on,” Li Qingshan responded attentively.
“The Gate of Immortality serves as a passage between immortals, indestructible since its establishment by the Immortal Plane. It’s not just the
Gate of Immortality, all the world-class teleportation formations in the
Human World were set up together by the Immortal Plane in the beginning. The intention was to provide cultivators in the Human World with a path of ascension, ensuring it wouldn’t be completely severed,” Immortal Northstar explained.
Li Qingshan nodded in agreement. The Gate of Immortality and the world-class teleportation formations were not something that Human World cultivators could construct.
“People with ulterior motives concealed the Gate of Immortality, altering the channel of ascension in the Human World. They sought control over all of the Human World, sustaining themselves with the energy it provided. However, they dared not destroy the Gate of Immortality, fearing the wrath of thunder. If you were the mastermind, how would you handle it?” Immortal Northstar asked.
Upon hearing these words, Li Qingshan suddenly realized he had been fixating on where the Gate of Immortality might be hidden from the perspective of the Human World, rather than considering the Immortal Plane mastermind’s viewpoint.
After all, Immortal Northstar was the reincarnation of an immortal, so he had a long-term vision. He saw that Li Qingshan had fallen into a blind spot in his thoughts and gently guided him.
“If I were the mastermind and didn’t want the Human World to use the Gate of
Immortality to enter the Immortal Plane and I don’t dare to harm the Gate of
Immortality, then it’s best to hide the Gate of Immortality.”
“But the Gate of Immortality is such a conspicuous thing. Where would be a suitable hiding place?”
“In the sky, the boundless void is one place.”
“Underground, the magma is another.”
“Then, the endless deep sea, although that doesn’t fit. I’ve checked before, and there’s no trace at all,” Li Qingshan muttered to himself. The thoughts in his mind quickly became active. He kept thinking, guessing, and overthrowing…
Observing that Li Qingshan had found a clue, Immortal Northstar silently departed, not wishing to disturb him.
Li Qingshan continued his speculation, considering various locations. Eventually, he fixed his gaze on the Nine Heavens.
“When I was in the Human World, even the White Dragon King dared to confine the Great World Path and all spiritual Qi to the Nine Heavens. Could the Gate of Immortality now also be hidden in the Nine Heavens?” Without hesitation, Li Qingshan soared into the sky.
The sky was immeasurably high, and Li Qingshan kept descending continuously until he finally reached an extremely high altitude. The air was thin, and ordinary people would instantly freeze to death, but it did not affect Immortals much.
Li Qingshan looked around and inspected the area, but he didn’t spot the Gate of Immortality.
Not in the sky!
Li Qingshan swiftly delved into the earth’s core, examining the scalding magma that could kill the expert in the Divine cultivation plane. However, there were no traces of the Gate of Immortality.
Finally, with a furrowed brow, Li Qingshan returned to the Peach Blossom Forest, contemplating.
“I’ve searched the sky and the earth’s core, but I found nothing. Where else could it be?” Li Qingshan pondered.
At this moment, Xia Wuji came to find Li Qingshan. Today was Li Qingshan’s turn.
Deep in thought, Li Qingshan didn’t notice Xia Wuji approaching. Without a word, he flicked his finger and continued his contemplation.
Boom!
A surge of Path energy transformed into a torrential sword qi, engulfing Xia Wuji, leaving him with only a breath, teetering on the edge of death.
Lying in a reed marsh, Xia Wuji murmured in Path, “Brother, you’ve been good to me. You struck with such precision, leaving me with just a breath. This time, I’m sure to make significant progress.”
Unbeknownst to him, Xia Wuji had awakened some undesirable habits.
Beyond the Human World lay a colossal realm, at least billions of times larger than the Human World, unimaginably vast and possessing extraordinary and terrifying energy.
Immortal Plane!
In a certain place in the Immortal Plane, three individuals were in discussion.
“All our Immortals in the Human World are dead,” a young man declared. “Twenty Immortals. How did they all perish?” the older man asked in confusion.
“I’m not sure, but their life tablets shattered, and the Path of Immortality has been sealed. We can’t enter now, ” the young man said lamented.
“The Human World is such a weak place. It’s not easy for someone to kill 20 Human Immortals,” a white-haired elderly man remarked.
“Grandpa, what do we do now? There’s no news from the Human World. The Dimensional Battlefield we set up has also lost its response. The Human World is out of control,” the young man inquired.
“Father, according to what you said, the Human World used to be a place to raise Venomous Bugs. Now that this place is lost, what should we do?” the older man asked..
