When one had nothing to worry about, climbing to the peak of cultivation became the sole lifelong aspiration.
Then, they enter seclusion once again.
Once, twice, thrice, and so on. In this way, even the strongest individuals undergo a shift in mentality, until ultimately reaching the state of Great Oblivion.
When their cultivation level reached its peak, they sat in the Great Path Ocean and looked at the Human World and the Immortal Plane. They observed the world’s affairs, the white clouds, the mulberry fields, and the disputes of the Human World. It was just a snap of the fingers. Thousands of years later, the country, civilization, and glory will all cease to exist or perhaps exist in a different form.
Li Qingshan also had such an experience during his 15,000 years of closed-door cultivation.
However, his mental fortitude was strong enough, and his perception was unparalleled. He would come out every 15,000 years to ease his mood. This cycle repeated itself, and Li Qingshan really controlled his mentality.
His comprehension of the Great Paths, his strength, and his cultivation level had all undergone subtle changes.
All these changes overlapped and hid under Li Qingshan’s ordinary appearance. Hua Xiangrong couldn’t see through him, and Taoist Dragon couldn’t see through him either.
The first year of the decade passed.
The second year began.
Li Qingshan immediately adjusted his previous monthly emergence to every two months.
He had already mastered the mentality of 15,000 years of seclusion. It was time to continue challenging himself.
This time, it was 30,000 years.
“After 30,000 years of seclusion, I will gain a deeper understanding of the 3,000 Great Paths,” Li Qingshan said firmly.
Two months later.
Li Qingshan opened his eyes and looked around with an indifferent expression. His mind was a little stiff. He walked slowly and swayed a few times before he broke free from a sense of profound mystery.
“Thirty thousand years is too terrifying.” Li Qingshan let out a long sigh. He felt very apprehensive.
He pushed open the gate and walked outside, meeting Taoist Dragon and Hua Xiangrong.
“Brother-in-law, why did you go into seclusion for so long this time?” Hua Xiangrong asked worriedly.
“Two months. According to your elongated time, it should be ten thousand years, right?” Taoist Dragon frowned and asked. Li Qingshan said softly, “It’s thirty thousand years!”
Hua Xiangrong and Taoist Dragon were shocked.
“Brother-in-law, what do you want to do by going into seclusion for 30,000 years?” Hua Xiangrong immediately came over to support Li Qingshan and complained.
“I know you’re eager to improve your strength, but thirty thousand years is really too much. Even Emperor-level experts only seclude themselves for ten to twenty thousand years. Only those who truly fall into a deep sleep would sleep for fifty thousand years. Are you okay mentally?” Taoist Dragon complained about Li Qingshan while also expressing concern.
Li Qingshan nodded gently. “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Although 30,000 years isn’t a short time, I’ve gained a lot. Moreover, I can sharpen my mentality. It’s quite good.”
“Thirty thousand years of seclusion. How far has your cultivation level improved?” Taoist Dragon asked curiously.
Hua Xiangrong also looked up at Li Qingshan, very curious.
“It’s still the first level of the Immortal King Realm, the Ancient Immortal Level,” Li Qingshan answered.
“You haven’t made any progress at all even after 30,000 years of seclusion?” Hua Xiangrong asked curiously.
“It’s not that easy to break through in the Immortal King Realm.” Li Qingshan smiled but didn’t explain.
“Are you going to continue trying thirty thousand years of seclusion?” Taoist Dragon asked with concern.
” Yes, after a few more attempts, I feel like I’ll be able to control this time. This is also a form of tempering for my mentality to remain calm in the face of honor or disgrace.” Li Qingshan nodded.
“You’re so cruel to yourself. Aren’t you afraid of becoming like those highly cultivated people, transcending into Great Oblivion, indifferent to the Human World, and not caring about anything, but instead pursuing other things?” Taoist Dragon asked worriedly.
“Where are those people you mentioned now?” Li Qingshan asked.
“How would I know? I haven’t transcended into Great Oblivion myself.” Taoist Dragon said, “But a long time ago, I had a friend who was the same age as me.
He was exceptionally talented and was once considered the hope of the Celestial Court. However, his entire family was massacred, and he was still in seclusion. When he came out, the corpses of his loved ones had already turned into white bones. This caused him great sorrow at that time. After wiping out his enemies, his mentality became increasingly strange. In the end, he became one of those who transcended into Great Oblivion.
“Where did your friend go?” Hua Xiangrong asked curiously.
“I don’t know. After he transcended into Great Oblivion, he didn’t care about the disputes in the Immortal Plane anymore. I heard that he joined an organization. That organization is very mysterious. I haven’t found any information about him. I haven’t seen him since then.” Taoist Dragon shook his head.
“Who created this skill of Great Oblivion?” Li Qingshan asked.
“I vaguely remember that it seems to be the Great Daoist. Like you, he chose to comprehend the 3,000 Great Paths. In the end, he created the Great Oblivion based on the 3,000 Great Paths. He is also known as the Great Daoist Ancestor,” Taoist Dragon recalled what he had seen in the past and said.
“He also chose to comprehend the 3,000 Great Paths?” Li Qingshan said in surprise. This was the first time he had been surprised in 30,000 years.
After this shock, Li Qingshan also broke away from his indifferent state.
“I heard it from an elderly from the Celestial Court. I don’t know if it’s true or not. But people say that he has comprehended the 3,000 Great Paths. There must be some truth to it,” explained Taoist Dragon..
