“Why should I doubt it?” Li Qingshan retorted.
What did the Primordial Heavenly Consort have to do with him? There was no intersection between them.
“Well, it seems that besides the people from the Demonic sects, no one else really cares,” Xia Wuji said with an awkward smile. Then he corrected his attitude and said seriously, “What I want to tell you is that the Primordial Heavenly Consort is also part of Immortal Northstar’s plan. She can awaken the Primordial Heavenly Demon, who was once the Venerable of the Demonic Path in the Immortal Plane. She existed before the Ancient Celestial Court era and was a great demon of that era.”
Li Qingshan murmured, “The Primordial Heavenly Demon, after all these years, is he still alive?”
Everyone knew that the Buddhist sects were founded by Amitabha, and likewise, everyone knew that the Demonic sects were established by the Primordial Heavenly Demon. He could be called the first demon in the world without any doubt.
“I don’t know, but he probably isn’t dead. Immortal Northstar told me that the Primordial Heavenly Consort is confident she can bring back the Primordial Heavenly Demon. With him, there would be two Venerables,” Xia Wuji said excitedly.
“Two Venerables aren’t enough to deal with a civilization!” Li Qingshan shook his head.
“Have you heard of the Heaven-defying family in the Immortal Plane?” Xia Wuji asked again.
Li Qingshan was stunned and looked at Xia Wuji. Of course, he knew about the Heaven-defying family—it was Qingqing’s family.
The girl who had taken his first kiss, someone he could never forget in this life.
“Didn’t the Heaven-defying family disappear completely?” Li Qingshan asked with a frown.
“No, some of their clansmen survived and, like Immortal Northstar, are plotting this matter,” Xia Wuji replied.
“Okay, it seems that not all the experts in the Immortal Plane are hiding. Some people are still holding on to something,” Li Qingshan said softly, a smile appearing on his face, indicating for Xia Wuji to continue.
“Do you know the Flower Immortal?” Xia Wuji asked again.
Li Qingshan suddenly stared at him intently, with a hint of uncertainty, and asked, “Who did you say?”
“Flower Immortal!” Xia Wuji said proudly, “You probably don’t know about her. She was an ancient powerhouse, almost from the same era as the Primordial Heavenly Demon. If it weren’t for her reincarnating and rebuilding her strength, I wouldn’t have known either.”
“I’m telling you, the Flower Immortal is very powerful, so now there are several Venerables. Do you feel more confident now?” Xia Wuji looked at Li Qingshan with excitement.
Li Qingshan looked at Xia Wuji and suddenly smiled. There was a sense of relief in his smile as he realized that the reason he hadn’t found Hua Yun for so many years was because of the dam.
Hua Yun had awakened her past life memories after Li Qingshan came to the Immortal Plane, left the Boiling Water Prison, went deep into the universe near the dam, and started regaining her strength, reaching an agreement with Immortal Northstar and others to plot against the greatest obstacle in the Immortal Plane, the dam!
Thus, even if Li Qingshan turned the Immortal Plane upside down, he couldn’t find her.
Because Hua Yun wasn’t in the Immortal Plane!
“Moreover, I heard that behind the dam, there’s the Spring of Life you’ve always longed for!” Xia Wuji dropped another bombshell, making Li Qingshan’s expression serious.
“Are you serious?” Li Qingshan asked seriously. He had always wanted to find the Spring of Life to resurrect Taoist Dragon and General Bai.
“Of course, I wouldn’t lie to you. It was Immortal Northstar who told me. One of his friends wants to break through the dam to get the Spring of Life and resurrect his brother.” Xia Wuji nodded seriously.
“Resurrect his brother…” Li Qingshan’s eyes lit up. This indicated that the civilization behind the dam truly had the Spring of Life.
“That expert who wants to resurrect his brother apparently rose to prominence in the last tens of thousands of years and is very powerful. Immortal Northstar said his talent is no less than yours,” Xia Wuji said.
“His talent is no less than mine, and he rose to prominence in the last tens of thousands of years? Who is he?” Li Qingshan asked curiously, thinking that he should know if he had risen to prominence in such a short time.
“Immortal Northstar said that, like us, he rose from the Human World and advanced rapidly, becoming very powerful,” Xia Wuji said, thinking seriously. “Let me think, what’s his name?”
A flash of lightning passed through Li Qingshan’s mind. He looked at Xia Wuji and slowly said, “Is his name… Chu Xiangyu?”
“Yes, that’s the name, Chu Xiangyu, the expert who rose in the last tens of thousands of years.” Xia Wuji nodded and looked at Li Qingshan excitedly but then suddenly froze. “How do you know?”
Li Qingshan didn’t answer. He closed his eyes and sorted through the information he knew.
“The brother who wants to resurrect his brother!”
“An expert who rose in the last tens of thousands of years.”
“A genius who broke through from the Human World to the Immortal Plane.”
“Putting all this information together, isn’t it General Bai’s big brother, Chu Xiangyu?” Li Qingshan smiled bitterly. He didn’t expect that every time he thought he understood the Immortal Plane well, new secrets would always emerge.
General Bai’s big brother didn’t die in the defensive battle at the Emperor’s Pass. He used this opportunity to escape and travel to the starry sky. He grew rapidly under the starry sky and was at least an emperor.
“I once read in the records of the Immortal Plane that Chu Xiangyu and the Primordial Heavenly Consort had some past connection. If I am correct, Chu Xiangyu learned some secrets from her, which prompted him to flee to the stars and lie in wait near the dam, waiting for the right moment.”
“That’s why Big Brother Bai thought Chu Xiangyu was dead and placed so much importance on me when I first entered the Immortal Plane.”
“Big Brother Bai never knew that his older brother, Chu Xiangyu, wasn’t dead.”
“Chu Xiangyu likely never expected that his feigned death would result in Big Brother Bai dying in the defensive battle at Emperor’s Pass, which is why he also needs the Spring of Life to resurrect Big Brother Bai.”
“It all makes sense. To verify my guess, all I need to do is open Big Brother Bai’s tomb and see if his body is there.”
Li Qingshan felt a surge of emotions.
He had thought that his next task was to patiently wait for the Supreme Path to arrive, but he hadn’t expected that a group of top experts in the Immortal Plane was working hard to break the dam and allow people from the Immortal Plane to see the vast universe.
“Brother, after all I’ve said, are you still not agreeing?” Xia Wuji asked, looking at Li Qingshan.
“Immortal Northstar knows about your deeds in the Immortal Plane and has asked me to invite you to join us. We need as many friends as we can get to succeed.”
“Don’t refuse.”
Li Qingshan opened his eyes and looked at Xia Wuji strangely as he said, “When did I ever refuse?”
Xia Wuji was overjoyed. “So you agree? Then let’s hurry to the stars and meet Immortal Northstar to discuss the plan.”
“Wait, don’t rush.” Li Qingshan raised his hand to stop Xia Wuji.
“Wait for what?” Xia Wuji asked, confused. His heart was already set on the stars, eager to fulfill his master’s, the Kunlun Immortal’s, last wish.
“There are many things left unresolved. Give me a day!” Li Qingshan shook his head, urging Xia Wuji not to be impatient. Breaking the dam couldn’t be rushed and needed careful planning, one day wouldn’t make a difference.
Li Qingshan stood up, preparing to leave the Emperor Space.
“Alright, I’ll wait here. What are you going to do?” Xia Wuji asked, trying to calm himself and curious about Li Qingshan’s plans.
“To verify some things and to meet a friend,” Li Qingshan said seriously, taking a step and leaving the Emperor Space.
In the next moment, Li Qingshan arrived in General Bai’s homeland.
Once, Li Qingshan had personally buried General Bai here. The place had since turned into a dense forest. Li Qingshan had reversed time, folding this space and burying General Bai in front of his childhood village so he could always see his home.
Now, more than twenty years later, Li Qingshan has become invincible in the Human World.
He came this time to see if General Bai’s body was still there.
General Bai wasn’t a weakling; his body wouldn’t have decayed even after tens of thousands of years. If it was still there, then Li Qingshan’s guess was wrong.
When Li Qingshan arrived at the lush forest, he saw the folded space he had arranged. Entering it, he saw General Bai’s small village and his grave.
This grave was one that Li Qingshan had personally buried back then.
Now, just by looking, without even digging, he knew the answer.
The tomb was empty!
General Bai’s body was gone.
Chu Xiangyu had taken it. He intended to break the dam, find the Spring of Life, and resurrect General Bai.
