Just as Li Qingshan was about to continue interrogating A’wei, his domain expanded, and he sensed that Little Nine had come as well.

He immediately let go of A’wei.

“Brother, did this person scare you?” Little Nine asked, coming over in concern.

“No. This man isn’t from the Yuhua Sect, right?” Li Qingshan asked.

“No, he is not,” Little Nine whispered in Li Qingshan’s ear. “He is the youngest son of the Changhen Demonic Sect Leader.”

“He has problems with his head. He’s very stupid.”

Li Qingshan blinked and looked at A’wei. He was not stupid at all.

If he were stupid, then there are no geniuses in the world.

“He did not scare me. You can bring him back now,” Li Qingshan said gently.

A’wei panicked. He did not want to go back.

“Go back first and come again when there is no one here. Then, we can chat,” Li Qingshan said with telepathy, comforting A’wei without changing his expression.

A’wei grew quiet, but there was excitement in his eyes. Obediently, he followed Little Nine back.

Repentance Cliff was peaceful once more.

“Interesting,” Li Qingshan murmured. “I didn’t think there were people like him in the world.” But, to be honest, he was very intrigued by A’wei.

A’wei left obediently with Little Nine. Along the way, Little Nine reprimanded A’wei strictly.

“Repentance Cliff is where the Yuhua Sect punishes disciples. The one you saw earlier was my brother. He is weak and helpless, without any cultivation prowess. He is just a regular person. So you’re not allowed to disturb him again. ”

A’wei blinked, and a shred of surprise appeared on his honest face.

That man earlier… was helpless?

Then who sent him crashing into the snow with one slap, immediately immobilizing him?

Then who was the one who could tell in one glance that his spiritual consciousness was overflowing?

A’wei opened his mouth to speak but had nothing to say.

He just agreed obediently.

Soon after, Little Nine had the other disciples arrange things for A’wei while she went to cultivate alone.

The night was dark. A’wei got up after midnight and flew back to Repentance Cliff secretly.

Li Qingshan was waiting for him under the moonlight.

“Hello, sir,” A’wei greeted him politely.

“You are the son of the Changhen Demonic Sect’s leader?”

A’wei thought for a moment. Then, after confirming that he was, he nodded.

“Yes.”

His spiritual consciousness was overflowing. However, to control it, he would need more time to think, thus appearing to be a bit delayed in his reactions.

This was why all he could remember for the past eight years was that his name was A’wei. He could not remember his full name.

“Have the people of the Changhen Demonic Sect not discovered your situation?” Li Qingshan asked with an arched eyebrow.

“Father realized that I was not normal when I was three years old. He has thought of all sorts of solutions, but none of them worked,” A’wei said sadly.

“Then why did you come to the Yuhua Sect?” Li Qingshan asked.

“Someone said that the Yuhua Sect has the remnants of the Immortality Method,” A’wei said. “The complete Immortality Method can change one’s body cultivation, so perhaps the remnants can cure me. Which is why Brother brought me here to find a teacher and study well here.”

“I see.” Li Qingshan understood. This was one of the reasons behind the cooperation between the Changhen Demonic Sect and the Yuhua Sect.

“The Immortality Method can’t cure you,” Li Qingshan said honestly.

The Immortality Method only targets body cultivation and does not target spiritual consciousness.

He had already cultivated the complete Immortality Method, so he was sure about it.

“Then what do I do?” A’wei looked worriedly at Li Qingshan.

“How about this?” Li Qingshan said, after thinking for a bit. “Come here secretly every three days, and I will help you resolve the problem of your overflowing spiritual consciousness.”

A’wei was an excellent test subject.

There was the Million Stele Forest on Repentance Cliff. Li Qingshan wanted to see if A’wei could comprehend them.

“Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.” A’wei knelt in excitement and kowtowed to Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan accepted this ritual. He walked forward and pointed at a stele.

“There is a stele here,” he said. “Observe it attentively and see if you can comprehend what is inside.”

A’wei looked at it seriously. He no longer suppressed his spiritual consciousness and let the stele absorb it freelv.

“Boom!”

Spiritual consciousness radiated out of A’wei’s entire body. It was massive, turning him into a shining and glittering boy.

The stele absorbed it wildly; A’wei was also comprehending.

But nothing else happened.

A lot of A’wei’s spiritual consciousness got absorbed. If he were a regular person, he would have died many times over, but he was completely fine. He was not hurt at all.

Of course, he also couldn’t comprehend the stele’s technique.

“Sir, I think I saw a bit of Sword Qi,” A’wei said with a frown. “It’s blurry, and I can’t comprehend it.”

“The skill here is too ancient. Too much time has passed. Hence, it has already scattered into nothingness.”

Li Qingshan knew better now.

Although A’wei had studied the stele attentively and had a strong comprehension, he was different. He still could not comprehend it.

The stele was too ancient, so even though A’wei had super-strong spiritual consciousness, his efforts were futile.

Only Li Qingshan could overlook the effects of time and comprehend the skills of the steles.

“You used up quite a bit of your spiritual consciousness tonight,” Li Qingshan said. “Go home and rest. Then, come back in three days.”

“It’s all right. I can make up for the spiritual consciousness I used with one night’s sleep. See you in three days, sir.” A’wei smiled innocently and left.

Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the Million Stele Forest.

“I was confused before. It used to be that regular cultivators who had weaker spiritual consciousnesses didn’t dare to come to study the steles. But top geniuses with strong spiritual consciousnesses are more willing to come and try.

“But now it seems that even if they have enough spiritual consciousness, they might still not be able to comprehend the skills in the stele. Too much time has passed, and the skills will just scatter.

“This is where my advantage lies. I can manage to overlook the effects of time and comprehend techniques from thousands or tens of thousands of years ago.”

After thinking about this, Li Qingshan walked back to the bamboo hut and continued to cultivate.

With Li Qingshan’s promise, A’wei would sneak over at night every three days.

Li Qingshan also started helping A’wei resolve his problem of overflowing spiritual consciousness.

His solution was to absorb A’wei’s overflowing spiritual consciousness into his own body. Then he would turn it into nutrients to nourish his root bone forest.

A’wei’s spiritual consciousness was incredibly massive. If he could not control it, he would definitely explode and die.

Now that Li Qingshan had absorbed it, A’wei was relieved, and the pressure on his body was reduced. He gradually changed from a short and fat boy to a regular Il-year-old.

The entire process took three years.

The Yuhua Sect and the Changhen Demonic Sect’s collaboration in these three years was very successful. It was able to resolve the huge pressure on the Yuhua Sect, while the reappearance of the Immortality Method united the upper levels of the Yuhua Sect. This was effective in fending off the pressure coming from the Heavenly Path Sect.

Due to the Immortality Method, the Yuhua Sect entered a golden age.

The only problem was that the Heavenly Path Sect started to spread the news that the Yuhua Sect had joined the Demonic Sects, abandoning the righteous sects. They portrayed the Yuhua Sect as traitors that needed to be killed.

The reputation of the Yuhua Sect had been ruined.

Of course, this did not have much to do with Li Qingshan.

He continued to live quite easily on Repentance Cliff.

The one who visited Repentance Cliff the most in these three years was A’wei. He came every three days, and Li Qingshan was able to completely solve his problem.

At 11 years old, A’wei was at the peak of the Venerable Plane. The spiritual consciousness that radiated from his body was not as terrifying as before anymore. He could control most of it now, while Li Qingshan absorbed the rest.

Li Qingshan did not have any breakthroughs these three years. This was the result of him suppressing with all his might since he was using all of his spiritual Qi to cultivate his root bones instead.

This already included the spiritual consciousness absorbed from A’wei. He used all of it to nourish his forest-like body cultivation.

After three years, Li Qingshan’s root bones grew healthily. Each one was a small tree now.

Put together; he seemed to have a sea of root bones. And each root bone had limitless energy accumulated within it.

And after three years, finally, one day, Li Qingshan opened his eyes and let out a breath. “Time to enter the Great Venerable Plane!” he said softly..
