Li Qingshan stood up. He didn’t touch the Venerable’s grave but instead bowed and turned to leave.
This time, he didn’t gain anything from the maxed-level comprehension. He only saw a story from the past.
But Li Qingshan was satisfied nonetheless.
He walked out of the palace, wanting to go further.
However, at this moment, a strange mark suddenly appeared under his feet. Li Qingshan looked down and was shocked. This mark was a Dao pattern. He immediately wanted to leave, but it was too late.
On the mark, a light flashed and Li Qingshan vanished into thin air. No one knew where he went.
Thump!
When Li Qingshan reappeared, he found himself on a black hill. Although it wasn’t tall, it was extremely majestic and imposing.
This black mountain was surrounded by mountains within mountains, the emperor of mountains, and was incomparably huge. However, they all submitted to this black hill.
This was unbelievable.
Li Qingshan immediately checked the ground beneath his feet to see if there were any Path techniques runes.
When he found none, Li Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief.
“That was a teleportation formation. It suddenly appeared and sent me here. I wonder where I am.” Li Qingshan frowned and carefully observed his surroundings.
In the center of the hill, Li Qingshan spotted another lake.
The lake was blood red.
The color of the lake water was like human blood, but there was no smell of blood in the air. There were many huge objects on the shore of the lake, ancient statues, towering trees, and huge vines…
Li Qingshan didn’t approach.
He was a little scared.
If another Dao pattern appeared here, and it turned out to be Emperor killing arrays, then it would be over.
“Giant sword, is this the place?” Li Qingshan asked the giant sword immediately.
Of course, this was just a routine question.
Along the way, Li Qingshan would ask the giant sword every time he arrived, but the giant sword never responded once.
Therefore, Li Qingshan didn’t hold much hope this time.
“It’s here.”
But in the next moment, the sound of the giant sword rang out again.
It was still crisp and clear, like a lark.
Li Qingshan was delighted. “You’re awake now?”
“Recover a bit of strength,” The giant sword replied.
“Is there anything here that attracts you?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
“There is a Tree of Enlightenment by the lake. It should be mature by now. You can go and take the Tree of Enlightenment.” The giant sword didn’t answer Li Qingshan and continued to talk to himself.
“The Tree of Enlightenment!” Li Qingshan looked at the lakeside in surprise.
Although he had just arrived in the Immortal Plane, he had some understanding of some transcendent-grade divine medicines.
The Tree of Enlightenment was one such transcendent-grade divine medicine.
Different from the tea leaves that Li Xingshan currently brewed, the Tree of Enlightenment was nurtured by the Great Path of Heaven and Earth.
It was extremely difficult for the Tree of Enlightenment to mature. It required the slow absorption of the Great Path of Heaven and Earth to grow. However, once matured, each leaf could aid in enlightenment.
Even Emperors had great need of it.
Not to mention Li Qingshan, an Era Immortal.
Li Qingshan carefully approached the lakeside and found the Tree of Enlightenment.
This was an ancient tree that was half the height of a person. Its trunk was like an azure dragon. Its branches were open and its leaves were scattered. It was covered with dense tea leaves.
Each tea leaf was of a different color and shape. Some were golden, some were black, some were crimson, some were red…
“How did you know that there was a Tree of Enlightenment here?” Li Qingshan didn’t rush to pick any, instead, he asked the giant sword.
“I saw it being planted with my own eyes back then,” The giant sword said.
“Back then.”
“What exactly is your background?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
“Your cultivation level is too low, I don’t want to tell you,” The giant sword said arrogantly.
“I’m about to break through to the Saint Plane, but my cultivation is still too low?” Li Qingshan laughed in exasperation.
“My previous masters were all at least Emperors,” The giant sword counterattacked.
Li Qingshan stopped talking.
Compared to Emperors, his cultivation level was indeed too low.
“That’s not right. You were obtained by me in the Human World. Your previous master’s cultivation level wasn’t very high either. When she gave you to me, she wasn’t even in the Immortal Plane.” Li Qingshan suddenly remembered that Qingqing’s cultivation level wasn’t high either.
The giant sword didn’t reply. It continued, “Quickly pluck the Tree of Enlightenment and break through to the Immortal King Realm. I’ll bring you to a place. There should still be time.”
“Where are we going?” Li Qingshan asked.
“Don’t ask so many questions. Just listen to me obediently. I won’t harm you, ” The giant sword said impatiently.
“Alright, alright. Since we’re already here, I’ll listen to you from now on,” Li Qingshan said calmly.
He walked over and carefully dug out the Tree of Enlightenment.
To his surprise, the Tree of Enlightenment wasn’t rooted in the ground but between heaven and earth.
The nutrients of the Tree of Enlightenment were none other than the Great
Paths.
“In that case, I can take the Tree of Enlightenment with me. Anyway, I have plenty of Great Paths for it to absorb.” Li Qingshan thought.
He kept the Tree of Enlightenment in his body.
The Tree of Enlightenment immediately occupied his core. Its roots spread and connected with Li Qingshan’s limbs and bones.
The giant sword even gave up its position in Li Qlngshan’s core, leaving the center area to the Tree of Enlightenment.
“Find a place to seclude yourself and seize the time to break through, ” The giant sword urged Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan found a cave nearby, made sure there was nothing else, and that there were no strange marks on the ground. Then, he prolonged the time. He began to cultivate.
He plucked a leaf from the Tree of Enlightenment. The leaf glowed slightly in his core, then slowly melted and flowed into Li Qingshan’s body.
Boom!
Li Qingshan’s primordial spirit shook violently. He felt like he had fallen into the depths of Hell, but also like he had ascended into the heavens, transcending the immortal and mortal worlds.
Finally, Li Qingshan arrived at a Great Path Ocean.
“This is the origin of the Great Paths!” Li Qingshan looked on in shock. The origin of the Great Path is where the Great Paths of the world were stored.
To put it in perspective, comprehending the Great Path to break through was like taking a bath. For an ordinary immortal to have a complete bath, they needed to continuously comprehend the Great Path.
Each comprehension might yield a drop of water or none at all.
So accumulation was necessary, drop by drop, to fill the bath, at which point they could break through.
Now that Li Qingshan had come to the origin of the Great Paths and comprehended the Great Paths here, it was equivalent to jumping into the river to take a bath.
He didn’t need to accumulate.
He could bathe as he pleased.
“The Tree of Enlightenment is indeed a transcendent-grade divine medicine. There’s a reason why even Emperors want it,” Li Qingshan sighed.
He began to cultivate.
This time, no one could stop him from breaking through to the Immortal King Realm.
In the origin of the Great Paths, Li Qingshan released everything and madly absorbed all the Great Paths around him.
He was like a funnel, constantly absorbing various Great Paths without ever becoming full.
If he wanted to break through to the Immortal King Realm, Li Qingshan needed to elevate the 3,000 Great Paths to the level of Immortal Kings.
Only then would he be able to step into the Immortal King Realm.
Otherwise, even if he broke through to the Immortal King Realm, his combat strength would increase only marginally.
The Great Path Ancestral Dragons in Li Qingshan’s body rejoiced and absorbed crazily.
Li Qingshan swiftly grew stronger without a sound.
To him, the threshold of the Immortal King Realm was broken by itself.
While breaking through to the Immortal King Realm, Li Qingshan didn’t stay idle. He searched for information about the Great Path of Fate in the origin of the Great Paths.
Out of the 3,000 Great Paths, Li Qingshan lacked only the Path of Fate.
Once he comprehended the Path of Fate and perfected the 3,000 Great Paths, Li Qingshan’s power would increase by hundreds or thousands of times.
That way, he would fear no one.
But it was a pity.
After searching for a long time in the origin of the Great Paths, Li Qingshan found no trace of the Path of Fate.
“Among the 3,000 Great Paths, the Path of Fate is the most mysterious. It is extremely difficult for people to catch a glimpse of it.” Li Qingshan wasn’t disappointed. Finding the Great Path of Fate was a pleasant surprise, but not finding it was normal.
Even in the origin of the Great Paths, the Path of Fate wouldn’t appear.
After a hundred years of continuous searching, Li Qingshan opened his eyes and he was already in the Immortal King Realm.
The first step of the Immortal King Realm, Ancient Immortal.
“After entering the Immortal King Realm, each advancement requires a vast amount of Great Paths. If you want to reach the Lifespan Immortal, Everlasting Immortal, or Crimson Immortal Realm, you’ll need a long time for enlightenment.” Li Qingshan dispersed the elongated time and stood up.
This time, he had secluded himself for ten days.
A hundred years passed in the elongated time.
With the help of the tea leaves of the Tree of Enlightenment, Li Qingshan entered the origin of the Great Paths and absorbed the Great Paths crazily. He broke through from the Era Immortal Realm to the first level of the Immortal King Realm, the Ancient Immortal Realm.
His power was extremely terrifying.
Li Qingshan asked the giant sword after the breakthrough, “Where are we going now?”
“I’ll take you to kill an Emperor!” The giant sword said to Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan blinked and asked softly, “Have you had too much to drink?”
