Xia Wuji smiled with satisfaction. With Li Qingshan’s approval, he felt incredibly confident about their upcoming endeavor. For reasons unknown, once Li Qingshan agreed, Xia Wuji felt a surge of certainty that nothing could go wrong as long as Li Qingshan was involved.
Li Qingshan, however, didn’t immediately rush to the starry sky or head toward the dam.
Instead, he spent three days in the Emperor Space of the Celestial Court.
During these three days, Li Qingshan strolled with the little fox, practiced cultivation with Hua Xiangrong, had heartfelt conversations with Little Nine, and provided guidance on cultivation to A’wei and the five ghosts.
Li Qingshan valued them very much.
They had followed him from the Human World to this point, closer than family. Without them, his goals would feel half as significant. Thus, he shared his insights on the Immortal King Realm and Emperor Realm with them without reservation, ensuring they had the knowledge they needed to progress.
Only then did he feel at ease leaving.
On the morning of the fourth day, Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji quietly departed.
That day was like any other, an ordinary morning. Little Nine and the others were engrossed in their cultivation, diligently applying the guidance Li Qingshan had given them. Seeing Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji leave, they thought nothing of it, assuming it was just another routine outing.
None of them realized that Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji were leaving the Immortal Plane.
Once out of the Emperor Space, Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji wasted no time and directly headed for the Outer Domain.
The cold universe was silent and boundless, its darkness occasionally interrupted by fleeting starlight.
Far from the Immortal Plane, standing in the vastness of space, Li Qingshan looked back at the Immortal Plane and realized its insignificance.
Xia Wuji, like Li Qingshan, also gazed at the Immortal Plane.
“When we were in the Human World, we always imagined the Immortal Plane as vast and magnificent, dreaming about how we would navigate, fight, and cultivate there. But now, after advancing to the Emperor realm, standing in the higher universe, I see it as just a well.” Xia Wuji said with a mocking smile, “We are like frogs at the bottom of a well.”
Li Qingshan calmly regarded the Immortal Plane, not offended by Xia Wuji’s words.
He was right.
Two frogs in a well.
There was no difference, except one might be stronger and the other weaker.
But in terms of perspective and spiritual realm, they were both frogs trapped in the well of the Immortal Plane.
Now, they had truly escaped the Immortal Plane, undergoing a complete transformation in their thinking.
“Before, when fighting in the starry sky, we never noticed how small the Immortal Plane was,” Li Qingshan remarked.
“Because we never looked up at the stars, never explored the universe, believing the Immortal Plane was the supreme world,” Xia Wuji responded seriously.
Li Qingshan nodded, no longer looking at the Immortal Plane. He turned to face the vast universe.
Starlight flickered, space nodes glimmered in the distance, and the desolate universe held countless secrets. What lay ahead was unknown; the starting and ending points were mysteries.
It was the same for Xia Wuji. Like Li Qingshan, this was the first time he was seriously getting to know the universe. He followed behind Li Qingshan and scrutinized the distant cosmos.
Standing in the vast expanse of the universe, Li Qingshan realized just how insignificant humans truly were. Compared to an ancient star, an individual was like a speck of dust, and even an ancient star was nothing more than a mote in the boundless cosmos.
The star fields were too vast, the distances unimaginably immense. Even the smallest star system spanned billions of kilometers, let alone the immense star fields and the legendary Distant Shore where life was born in the Chaos.
Li Qingshan, with Xia Wuji in tow, sped through the cold and dark universe.
Humans were insignificant. By their own cultivation power, even an Immortal would struggle to fly out of a small star system in a lifetime, let alone traverse the infinite star fields.
However, those in the Emperor Realm could.
Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji were both in the Emperor Realm. At that moment, they traversed the universe, with the starry sky continuously extending forward as they advanced toward the dam they sensed.
In the boundless universe with billions of star regions, desolation was everywhere. Li Qingshan swept across the Milky Way, observing several ancient stars, which were enormous. Some were almost as large as the Immortal Plane, but none showed signs of life.
These ancient stars, devoid of any signs of life, floated slowly in the vast universe. Perhaps one day in the future, they would collide with another ancient star, both perishing and dissipating into the vast stars.
Li Qingshan continued his journey through the starry sky of the universe. Suddenly, a spatial node in the distance trembled, as if an ancient star had perished, emitting a brilliant wave of light that formed a hexagram. It flashed before Li Qingshan’s eyes.
“That is a sign of life,” Li Qingshan affirmed, having sensed a life sign within the flashing hexagram.
Immediately, he took Xia Wuji and flew towards the distant spatial node.
“Did Immortal Northstar tell you where they are?” Li Qingshan asked Xia Wuji while hurrying on his way.
“He did not say. Immortal Northstar only told me that we would find them at the dam,” Xia Wuji replied.
Li Qingshan kept this in mind and hurried towards the place where the hexagram flashed. He unleashed his full power, with energy surging around him, forming a circle that enveloped Xia Wuji. They swiftly sliced through the universe.
