Chapter 5: Five Ghosts Life-Claiming Technique
Li Qingshan had completed the Body Refinement Plane in one morning. He stood up with bright eyes, feeling very shocked.
"My previous body was the genius acknowledged by the Yuhua Sect, but it still needed one month to complete the Body Refinement Plane, while I only used one morning. The million-acre forest is too powerful," Li Qingshan spoke to himself in excitement.
"Plus, the root bones have just started sprouting and can only support the Body Refinement Plane. When they continue to grow, I'll be able to improve my plane," Li Qingshan said, with pleasant surprise, as he looked at the forest-like root bones in his body.
His advancement in plane did not depend on cultivation. Instead, it relied on the forest-like root bones.
If the root bones grew quickly, his cultivation would advance soon too.
"The cultivation planes start with the Body Refinement Plane. Then it goes to the Innate Plane, the Grandmaster Plane, the Ascension Plane, the Distant Shore Plane, the Venerable Plane, the Great Venerable Plane, and the Saint Plane!
"My former body was the prince of the Great Yan Dynasty and the Head Disciple of the Yuhua Sect. He was extremely talented and had reached the peak of the Ascension Plane at 18 years old. He was known as the one who could break the world's shackles and become a Saint." Li Qingshan pondered silently.
No Saint had been created in the world since the war 3,000 years ago until now.
Some said that the war had caused the Path of the Saint to become hidden from the world.
Thus, many top figures were stuck in the Great Venerable Plane. They were unable to break free for their entire lives. They could only live until 3,000 years old and pass away.
This was also why the various major sects, righteous sects, demonic sects, or monster clans were all searching for a genius who could break through the shackles of the world and Saint Plane.
Li Qingshan was the genius of the current generation from the Yuhua Sect, but unfortunately, his former body had committed an offense.
"This is a world where cultivation is thriving. It's a rich and diverse world formed by the royal dynasty of the human world, the top sects, sacred lands with thousands of years of heritage, the Daoist sects, Buddhist sects, Demonic sects, overseas forces, forces from the Saibei Wilderness, and the Monster Clan and different races.
"The outside world is very dangerous. It can't be compared to Repentance Cliff."
Li Qingshan looked at Repentance Cliff, which was like a hidden paradise, and was very satisfied.
For other people, this was like a hell that could make people go crazy.
But to Li Qingshan, this was the best cultivation location in the world.
Li Qingshan's days became even more comfortable as he could cultivate now.
He spent his days reading, cultivating the Immortality Method, and nourishing his root bone.
He also learned all the techniques he had comprehended in the last half year, one at a time. So, even though his new root bone could not break into the Innate Plane, these techniques could still improve him and strengthen his foundation.
This entire process was very comfortable.
He had reshaped himself and was pure like a piece of jade.
One day, he got up early to sweep the Stele Forest.
He had already cleaned all of the steles surrounding the bamboo hut in the past half year. Now, he was gradually making his way in.
Today, he saw an eerie image carved onto a stele.
"How could there be a stele like the Demonic Path in the Yuhua Sect?" Li Qingshan found it strange, so he started observing carefully.
A moment later...
[You observed the stele carefully and activated your maxed-level comprehension skill. You have now comprehended Five Ghosts Life-Claiming Technique!]
Li Qingshan blinked. The Five Ghosts Life-Claiming Technique sounded very violent.
He did not continue wiping the steles. Instead, he returned to the bamboo hut and started cultivating the Five Ghosts Life-Claiming Technique.
When the moon was high in the sky, there was a boom, and five balls of Nether Qi exploded in the sky during the night.
He had completed the Five Ghosts Life-Claiming Technique.
Next, five ghosts appeared before Li Qingshan. They were big and tall, with red faces and sharp fangs. They looked extremely aggressive and thirsty for murder as soon as they were created. They wanted to improve themselves with bloodshed.
Their current abilities had already surpassed the Body Refinement Plane and had reached the Innate Plane.
They could keep rising as well.
The five ghosts were malicious and angry, but they were very respectful toward Li Qingshan.
They were waiting for Li Qingshan's first order.
They thirsted for murder.
They hoped to kill people.
They should improve their abilities in bloodshed.
Faced with their anticipation, Li Qingshan thought seriously and uttered his first command.
"Sweep the surroundings of the bamboo hut. Clean up the garden and sweep away the fallen leaves in the creek too," Li Qingshan commanded.
The malicious ghosts were dumbfounded. They looked at Li Qingshan with blank expressions.
They knew how to kill instinctively.
They were weapons of war.
They're meant to tear down the enemies and obstacles for their master.
But now they had to clean and sweep?
Did their master speak incorrectly, or did they hear wrongly?
The five newly born ghosts had nowhere to use their talents.
"I have not swept the surroundings in a while. It's all dusty. Now that you are all here, you can sweep it once every few days," Li Qingshan said with a smile.
The five ghosts looked pitifully at Li Qingshan.
They were giants, close to three meters tall, but they were like pouting kids now.
But Li Qingshan was their master.
His words were the law. They could not fight back.
The five ghosts had no choice but to put away their aggression and pick up brooms, mops, and wooden buckets to clean up the bamboo hut.
It was annoying.
Looking at them, Li Qingshan chuckled and said, "I am repenting on a cliff right now, and no one cares about me. So there aren't any enemies for you to fight."
There was one good thing about being a nobody. No one thought of you, so they obviously would not come to cause trouble either.
The five ghosts awkwardly cleaned under the night sky. Their huge frames clutched the tiny brooms, and they clumsily swept and cleaned.
Meanwhile, Li Qingshan quietly started cultivating the Immortality Method.
He cultivated the Immortality Method to nourish his root bones and help them grow even faster. When he would reach a certain point, he would be able to enter the Innate Plane.
That night, the True Qi from cultivating the Immortality Method sprinkled onto the forest-like root bones, making them grow a bit bigger.
Li Qingshan felt that he was one step away from the Innate Plane.
This step was effortless for Li Qingshan. Plus, he was in no hurry.
Now that he had the five ghosts, Li Qingshan handed all the chores to them.
Li Qingshan even tried to have the five ghosts cook. If they did not make tasty food, they had to practice more.
The five ghosts who should be intimidating enemies had now become Li Qingshan's full-time nannies.
As for Li Qingshan himself, he just cleaned the Stele Forest every day and cultivated the Immortality Method, learning all sorts of techniques to improve himself.
Three days later, Li Qingshan's root bones grew three centimeters during the night.
He successfully entered the Innate Plane in his sleep.
He also shot up and completed the Innate Plane.
Li Qingshan did not even know that he had entered that plane in his sleep. He discovered the breakthrough with shock when he woke up the next day.
However, Li Qingshan was not excited. Nevertheless, it was just a matter of time for him to enter the Innate Plane.
He continued his quiet life just like before.
