However, today’s battle also made Li Qingshan realize that the Earthly Immortal Realm wasn’t as formidable as he had thought.
With his current power, he could easily defeat enemies of higher realms.
However, it would be more challenging to fight against a Celestial Immortal. If he were to fight against a powerful Celestial Immortal, Li Qingshan felt that he could only run.
“I’m still very weak. I have to continue to become stronger. Otherwise, when the next war comes, I’ll be in great danger,” Li Qingshan said in a low voice. His face was serious as he felt that it was necessary to break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm.
He was already at the peak of the Human Immortal. In addition, he had comprehended the Great Path of Death and integrated it. This was something he could attempt to break through.
No sooner said than done, Li Qingshan focused on his cultivation and attempted to break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm, ignoring the outside world.
He had to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm before the next war to survive in the Emperor’s Pass defensive battle.
Thus, three days passed after the war.
Li Qingshan secluded himself for three days. His cultivation level had indeed improved a little, but he had yet to grasp the threshold of breaking through to the Earthly Immortal Realm.
General Bai had been very busy during these three days. Li Qingshan hadn’t seen him.
However, on the morning of the fourth day, Li Qingshan was about to continue his cultivation when General Bai arrived.
He was still clad in armor, his face cold. He walked over with big strides. Only when he saw Li Qingshan did his expression relax.
“General.” Li Qingshan cupped his fists.
“Sit down. Have you been out for the past three days?” General Bai sat down and gestured for Li Qingshan to sit down.
“No, I’ve been in seclusion, trying to break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm. Otherwise, I’d be a cause for concern for you again if the next battle comes.” Li Qingshan said embarrassedly.
“I don’t know if there will be a fight in the next war.” General Bai sighed. He looked a little worried.
“What’s wrong?” Li Qingshan asked with concern.
General Bai looked at Li Qingshan and said in a low voice, “A Celestial Lord from the Celestial Court has descended upon this area. He is negotiating a ceasefire with the three allied clans. If the conditions are agreed upon, there will be no need to fight anymore. But if not, we will still fight.”
Li Qingshan immediately recalled the records he had read in the books.
“The Celestial Court has millions of Celestial Soldiers, ten top-notch generals guarding the ten directions, four Celestial Lords, and tens of millions of officials to manage the vast territory.”
“The Master of the Celestial Court is called the Emperor. At the peak of the
Celestial Court, six Emperors ruled the world and were indestructible!”
Now that a Celestial Lord had descended, it was obvious that the Celestial Court was still paying close attention to the Emperor’s Pass.
“I hope they reach an agreement,” Li Qingshan said softly.
General Bai nodded. “I don’t want to fight either. I’ve spent half my life in the battles. I just want to go back to my hometown and raise a few cows and tend to a few acres of land. I want to live a peaceful rural life in the fields.”
Li Qingshan’s expression changed as he asked, “Where is the general’s hometown?”
“It’s a remote place in the East Continent. It’s a beautiful paradise,” General Bai reminisced as his words carried a hint of tenderness.
“If there’s a chance, I’ll definitely visit General’s hometown,” Li Qingshan said with a smile.
“Wait until I retire, come and visit me then.” General Bai smiled gently.
“Alright.” Li Qingshan nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, General Bai asked, “Do you want to go to the Celestial Court
Academy?”
Li Qingshan said curiously, “Does the Celestial Court Academy teach students?”
General Bai said, “It’s not to teach students but to teach Immortals. The Celestial Court Academy doesn’t accept outsiders. It only accepts internal members of the Celestial Court. Those who have made great contributions or spent a significant amount of crystals. They can enter and study there for a semester.”
Li Qingshan listened attentively.
“Those who enter the Celestial Court Academy will be highly valued by the Celestial Court. That’s why I’m asking you if you want to study there for a semester.” General Bai looked at Li Qingshan and asked gently.
“How long is a semester?” Li Qingshan didn’t answer immediately but asked.
“Five years!” General Bai said.
Li Qingshan said with a frown, “I can go if I can. But I don’t have any merits, nor do I have many crystals.”
General Bai said with a smile, “As long as you want to go, I’ll send you there!” Li Qingshan looked at General Bai in a daze. This was too good for him.
“General, are you saying that you will use your own merits to send me into the Celestial Court Academy?” Li Qingshan asked softly.
General Bai nodded.
“General, why are you so good to me?” Li Qingshan was very puzzled. This kind of treatment was probably only experienced by his nephew.
If he wasn’t sure that his surname was Li, he would have suspected that General Bai had gone to the Human World decades ago.
General Bai saw Li Qingshan’s frightened expression and smiled slightly as he said, “You must find it strange why I’m so nice to you.”
Li Qingshan nodded directly.
General Bai said, “Do you still remember what I told you a month ago? You reminded me of someone.”
Li Qingshan nodded. He remembered everything General Bai said.
“Is that person also from the Human World like me?” Li Qingshan asked.
General Bai nodded and sat on the chair. He was in a daze for a moment, as if he had drifted back to a long time ago. When he came back to his senses, Li Qingshan had already poured him a cup of tea.
General Bai raised his teacup and drank it in one gulp. He said, “Would you like to hear a story?”
Li Qingshan refilled General Bai’s tea and said gently, “I would be honored!” General Bai began to reminisce, “The story began twenty thousand years ago.”
“At that time, the Human World wasn’t as chaotic as you said. Many people ascended to the Immortal Plane, and he was one of them!”
“At that time, I was a fledgling. Because I was born in a small place, I didn’t have any power or influence. I could only choose to join the Celestial Court and seek refuge. Coincidentally, he also came to the Celestial Court and wanted to join..”
