Now that he knew who the family that restricted the Human World for 20,000 years was, Li Qingshan had a better understanding.
The other party was the descendants of the Emperor Clan, so this matter wasn’t urgent. He would only know the depth of the matter after waiting for a few years.
A few years of life was nothing to the Immortal Plane.
For Li Qingshan, these few years were his time of transformation.
“I’ll use these few years to consume the Tree of Enlightenment and take big strides forward.” Li Qingshan lay on the chair with a golden leaf in his mouth. His soul jumped and he entered the origin of the Great Paths again.
He roamed in the origin of the Great Paths. He comprehended the 3,000 Great Paths in the world and lived a simple life every day.
In order to become stronger, Li Qingshan changed his seclusion pattern from once every ten days to once every month.
In one month of the Immortal Plane, stretched time, Li Qingshan spent fifteen thousand years.
This time was terrifying for him. The first time he tried it, when he came out, he took one look at Hua Xiangrong, and just that glance startled her.
“Brother-in-law, your gaze just now was too indifferent. It was high and mighty as if you were looking down at the Human World, indifferent to everything like a ruler,” Hua Xiangrong said.
Li Qingshan forced a smile and suppressed the indifference in his heart.
After this experience, Li Qingshan finally adjusted himself a little after the second seclusion for fifteen thousand years. However, he still gave Taoist Dragon a big shock.
“You didn’t cultivate some ancient forbidden technique to enhance your strength, did you?” Taoist Dragon asked worriedly.
Li Qingshan shook his head and said, “I’ve just been in seclusion for too long. I’ve been comprehending the Great Paths all along. My mentality has undergone a subtle change. I need to adjust.”
“Brother, there’s no need to be so fixated on defeating the descendants of the Emperor Clan within the years. That’s not realistic. You’re already very terrifying. Don’t give yourself so much pressure. Relax a little. You can do it within a hundred years,” said Taoist Dragon.
Li Qingshan smiled lightly and didn’t answer. He felt that he was about to control the 15,000-year closed-door cultivation.
A few more times!
He would definitely be able to overcome the backlash of the Great Paths and not be affected.
Li Qingshan did this throughout the year.
In the first few months, he was indeed deeply affected. Although he kept overcoming himself, he unconsciously entered a state of Great Oblivion.
It was no wonder that the Great Oblivion was a forbidden skill in the Immortal Plane. The major families didn’t allow their disciples to cultivate it.
Forgetting emotions, ignoring everything, and losing oneself. This kind of cultivation technique was even more terrifying than the Demonic sects.
However, as Li Qingshan gradually tried and adjusted himself, he began to suppress the backlash of the Great Paths after a few months.
When he came out every month, his aura and presence would be indifferent, vast, and distant, like the vast starry sky, like the surging river, and like the distant chaos. All of these added up to create a temperament that was far away from the mundane and didn’t belong to the Human World.
However, his heart remained rooted in the Human World. His homeland wouldn’t drift far away.
However, Hua Xiangrong and Taoist Dragon were very worried. They were afraid that Li Qingshan’s cultivation would suddenly become indifferent to everything and feel that the Human World was boring. He might as well attain immortality and be with the sun and moon.
Hua Xiangrong considered her sister’s sake. She didn’t want to find her sister and then find that her brother-in-law’s mentality had changed drastically to forget about the mortal world.
Taoist Dragon was worried about the Celestial Court. He regarded Li Qingshan as the savior of the Celestial Court, the hope of the Celestial Court. If Li Qingshan really entered the state of Great Oblivion, he would be in tears, and the Celestial Court would lose all hope.
Therefore, the two of them, without prior arrangement, would always chat with Li Qingshan every time he came out. They would ask about Li Qingshan’s well-being and care about his psychological state.
Li Qingshan sometimes watched as the two of them desperately pulled him aside to talk, thinking of some jokes to tell him. He found them amusing, but upon closer reflection, he felt a hint of warmth.
Hua Xiangrong would then tell Li Qingshan about some recent events, observing him in various ways to ensure he wouldn’t forget about the mortal world, which put his mind at ease.
Li Qingshan noticed their efforts, and though he had explained before, they still didn’t believe him. So when he emerged from the prolonged period of time, displaying that demeanor of transcendence, he didn’t bother trying to convince them anymore.
Li Qingshan didn’t explain further. Anyway, it was good to chat with them for a month.
Li Qingshan didn’t find it annoying to chat with Hua Xiangrong once every fifteen thousand years. He listened to Hua Xiangrong’s chatter and talked with Taoist Dragon about what had happened in the Immortal Plane recently. He felt quite content.
Just like that, the first year passed.
Li Qingshan had spent more than 100,000 years in this extended period of time.
This was the first time he had ever felt that the concept of time was so insignificant.
Fortunately, it was in this elongated period of time. If it were the Immortal Plane, after more than 100,000 years, all of this would probably not exist anymore.
“No wonder those top-notch experts would feel the Great Oblivion.” A year later, Li Qingshan looked back at the past and sighed.
They couldn’t extend time without Li Qingshan’s profound understanding of the Great Path of Time and the Big Clock. Even if they could, they could only extend it by one year.
For those above the Immortal King Realm, a year was better than nothing.
Therefore, when they emerged from a long period of seclusion, the Human World they saw and the homeland they saw were so unfamiliar.
Former friends and the sounds of the homeland were all buried over time.
At that moment, they would have a feeling in their hearts that although the world was huge and there were many living beings, none of them were people they cared about..
