Standing within the hidden fold of time he had once arranged, Li Qingshan gazed at his elder brother’s grave and fell into deep thought.
Now everything was clear.
After General Bai died in battle, he wished to be buried in his homeland. Li Qingshan had brought his remains back to his homeland and buried him there. However, Chu Xiangyu later took General Bai’s body away.
Chu Xiangyu was also searching for the Spring of Life.
Like Li Qingshan, he had someone he wished to resurrect.
With General Bai’s body missing, Li Qingshan didn’t panic. He glanced around; in this hidden timeline, General Bai was no longer present. With a casual wave of his hand, space rippled, time swiftly returned to its normal trajectory, and the hidden space vanished without a trace.
“Since the old friend is no longer here, there’s no point in maintaining the hidden timeline. Perhaps we will meet again under the stars in the near future,” Li Qingshan thought as he stood on a desolate mountain peak, gazing at the starry sky with eyes full of clarity.
Having confirmed his suspicions, Li Qingshan wasted no time and hurried to the Western Lands once more.
Yes, he had returned to the Western Lands.
This time, Li Qingshan brought accurate news about the Flower Immortal.
Monk Fayin was very surprised to see Li Qingshan again. “Benefactor Li, why have you come so frequently?”
Li Qingshan replied, “I have found the whereabouts of the Flower Immortal.”
Monk Fayin immediately looked at Li Qingshan seriously and asked, “Are you sure?”
Li Qingshan nodded firmly.
They had agreed that once Li Qingshan found any trace of the Flower Immortal, he would inform Monk Fayin.
After all, Monk Fayin had guarded the Western Lands and protected the Flower Immortal for many years; he deserved to know.
“Where is the Flower Immortal?” Monk Fayin took a deep breath, trying not to get too excited. After millions of years of guarding, this matter had become a knot in his heart, and only seeing the Flower Immortal alive could untie it.
“The dam in the starry sky,” Li Qingshan said seriously.
“The dam…” Monk Fayin gazed at the sky, his eyes deep, piercing through the Immortal Plane to the depths of the universe, where the massive dam stood far away.
To the beings of the Immortal Plane, this dam was the source of all evil.
“The civilization behind the dam is extremely powerful. Why did the Flower Immortal go there?” Monk Fayin asked, puzzled.
Li Qingshan explained everything he knew to Monk Fayin: Immortal Northstar’s plan, the schemes of the top experts, the survival efforts of the Heaven-defying family, the founder of the Demonic Sect, the Primordial Heavenly Demon, and the rising star, Chu Xiangyu. Everyone was striving for the future of the Immortal Plane.
Even though they had different beliefs, different paths, and vastly different worldviews, they all stood united on this crucial matter. They all knew that only by breaking the dam could the Immortal Plane have a future.
Otherwise, the source energy of the Immortal Plane would continue to drain, and in the future, even Emperors, let alone Venerables, would be unable to break through.
Monk Fayin was deeply shocked by Li Qingshan’s words. He muttered, “No wonder I felt a slight recovery in the Immortal Plane’s source energy recently. I thought it was a precursor to the Supreme Path, but it turns out to be the result of the efforts of the experts of the past Immortal Plane.”
“Instead of putting all our hope in the Supreme Path, it’s better to join this plan and break the dam. Then, the people of the Immortal Plane can freely enter the universe without any restrictions, and the future will be bright. What do you think, senior?” Li Qingshan asked, hoping to bring Monk Fayin into the plan.
Immortal Northstar and the others might not know that there was such a powerful expert as Monk Fayin, who had lived through four lifetimes, in the Western Lands.
Monk Fayin, who had lived through four lifetimes, was incredibly powerful. Although not as strong as Li Qingshan now, if the Immortal Plane allowed for the breakthrough to Venerable, he would be the second.
The first, of course, was Li Qingshan.
So, Li Qingshan hoped Monk Fayin would join them. Every additional strength would give them more confidence.
Monk Fayin nodded slightly and said, “I’ll help you when the need arises.”
Li Qingshan smiled and said, “Then I will take my leave.”
“Where are you going, Benefactor Li?” Monk Fayin asked curiously.
Li Qingshan pointed to the sky and said, “Apart from during battles, I haven’t had the chance to truly look up at the vast starry universe. I want to see it.”
Li Qingshan wanted to explore the depths of the universe and see the dam that had obstructed the Immortal Plane.
Monk Fayin said nothing more, standing there and watching Li Qingshan leave, his gaze deep as he looked at the faintly visible dam in the depths of the sky.
“Can several Venerables together succeed?” Monk Fayin murmured.
He didn’t know.
All he knew was that he was very old and didn’t have much time left. The Supreme Path was still an uncertain, elusive hope.
Instead of placing all hope on that, it was better to take a chance.
Of course, what moved Monk Fayin the most was that Li Qingshan also agreed to take action.
Monk Fayin, who had lived through four lifetimes, knew how powerful he was and understood even more how terrifying Li Qingshan, who had lived through nine lifetimes, was.
Since Li Qingshan had agreed to join this effort to break the dam, what did he have to fear?
Returning from the Western Lands, Li Qingshan arrived at the Celestial Court.
Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Without saying much, Li Qingshan turned to spend time with Little Fox and Little Nine.
