The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 096
Chapter 096 Reach The Tenth Floor
When Li Qing received the spirit stones from the Golden Emperor Peak Master, he felt that his gaze was extremely unkind. This caused Li Qing’s heart to tremble. If he was remembered by such a peerless expert, then it would not be good.
“I presume that his Excellency has a large number of people, so he shouldn’t argue with a mere nobody like me, right?” Li Qing was not sure.
Even so, he still accepted this spirit stone straightforwardly. Such benefits should not be wasted. Originally, he didn’t expect the Golden Emperor Peak Master to like him, but he didn’t like him at all, so he simply ignored him.
The Golden Emperor Peak Master suffered heavy losses, half of which was caused by Li Qing. However, although they were from the Eight Desolate Sect, Li Qing didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty. After all, the relationship between the Flaming Sun Peak and the Golden Emperor Peak was not very good. Moreover, the Golden Emperor Peak Master would rather support an outsider than him. What reason did he have to help the Golden Emperor Peak Master?
Everyone had a scale in their hearts. Although he was just a nobody, his grudges were clear and they knew who treated him well.
After obtaining these items, Li Qing returned to his position. After obtaining so many benefits this time, he couldn’t help but smile happily. He was very happy and smiled from ear to ear.
What happened next had nothing to do with him. Everyone knew his strength, and no one dared to challenge him. The young man’s gaze towards Li Qing became even more fearful.
After that, there were a few more matches, which were very exciting. The winner was rewarded with a pine cone.
In the end, all the pine nuts had been distributed. The tournament came to an end.
Before the banquet was over, the banquet continued for a period of time. Everyone began to move freely, drink and enjoy themselves, and continuously clapped their glasses. People from various major powers communicated with each other and made friends with each other.
The atmosphere was very warm and enjoyable.
This was the scene of a prosperous era. Li Qing could feel the strength and prosperity of the Eight Desolate Sect. I wonder how long this kind of strength will last?
Many young people came to Li Qing’s side and wanted to make friends with him. They all said bluntly, “If you are free in the future, you can come to them as a guest.”
This included a beauty like Meng Yuhan, who wanted to see Li Qing.
Li Qing kept nodding. He was polite to each other and spoke very politely. He did not treat anyone differently. He could feel the enthusiasm of the crowd, as if they were watching from the stars, and they were chasing after him.
His performance at the Fruit Gathering this time was indeed extremely outstanding. He was in the limelight, and his strength was almost a notch higher than his peers. It wasn’t surprising that someone was chasing after him.
Zhou Jintong walked over with a fierce aura and a burning gaze. “Why did you secretly run away?” She asked.
Li Qing rolled his eyes and said angrily, “What do you mean by sneaking away? Do I have to report to you after I leave?”
Eight Desolate Mountain was his home ground, and he was very confident.
“You did that to me. Don’t tell me you don’t have to be responsible?”
Li Qing was too lazy to pay attention to her. He had already told her this matter many times. He didn’t want to mention it anymore, so he avoided her and walked to the side. He sat down.
As a result, Zhou Jintong sat down beside him and looked at him. The two of them stared at each other in silence.
In the end, Liu Ke’er also came over. The three of them just sat there, and the atmosphere was awkward.
Li Qing couldn’t stand it any longer and brought Liu Ke’er to Elder Liu’s side. With his elders here, Zhou Jintong naturally didn’t dare to be presumptuous.
The Yunzhou City Lord was also here. Seeing Li Qing, he couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Little Junior Brother, you’ve earned quite a lot this time.”
“It’s really thanks to Senior Brother’s help.” Li Qing also smiled.
Elder Liu could not help but stroke his beard in relief when he saw how good their relationship was. Things were all moving in a good direction, full of hope. Even if he grew old, he didn’t need to worry too much about what was going on behind him.
However, when he thought of that matter, a trace of gloom appeared in his heart.
…
At dusk, the grand Eternal Spring Fruit Festival was finally coming to an end.
In the end, the Cyanwood Peak Master announced, “It’s getting late. The immortal fruit has been eaten. This fruit meeting is officially over. Everyone, please disperse by yourselves. Also, I hope that the Peak Masters and the leaders of the major powers will stay behind. We have something to discuss.”
Li Qing followed the crowd out of the Azure Wood Hall. He turned around and looked at the people left behind in the hall. They were all big shots of the Cloud Continent. The current giant stamped his feet, and both continents were about to tremble.
He didn’t know what so many great figures were discussing with each other.
“Could it be the matter of the Eternal Demon Abyss?” He was curious.
Perhaps, this final gigantic meeting would be the main event of this Eternal Spring Fruit Gathering. Otherwise, Li Qing really couldn’t understand why such a grand gathering would be held.
After coming out, he bid farewell to Liu Ke’er for a while, then separated and returned with their respective large forces.
After returning to his residence, he couldn’t wait to take out the two pine cones and carefully sized them up. He thought to himself, “I’ve already eaten a small pine cone today, and my cultivation has improved a little. I haven’t consolidated it yet, so I shouldn’t eat it again. It won’t be too late to eat it in a few days.”
After thinking about it, he resisted the impulse in his heart and put the two pine nuts back into his spatial ring. Then, he started cultivating and consolidating his cultivation.
A few days later, he felt that everything was fine, so he began to eat the Chinese pine fruit and peel off the outer shell layer by layer. Inside, there was a fruit the size of a baby’s fist, and a delicate fragrance came out.
He couldn’t wait to eat it. He felt that the taste was similar to that of a small pine fruit, so he immediately swallowed it. He felt a spiritual energy that was several times larger than that of a small pine fruit circulating in his body.
His heart trembled, and he quickly circulated the Eight Desolate Demon Subduing Divine Technique to digest this Spiritual Energy.
After half an hour of cultivation, Li Qing finally opened his eyes and let out a long breath. At this time, his cultivation was close to the late ninth layer.
“If you eat that big pine fruit, you should be able to reach the ninth level of perfection. As long as you break through the bottleneck, you will be able to reach the tenth level of the Houtian realm.” He was excited.
He was a step closer to the Xiantian realm!
This time, he spent nearly ten days consolidating his cultivation.
Ten days later, he took out the big pine fruit. He was excited and skillfully peeled off the layers of shells. Then, he quickly ate the fruit inside.
As soon as he swallowed it, he felt a huge amount of Spiritual Energy rush into his meridians. It was like a river of Spiritual Energy, vast and pure.
It took him half a day to digest it and completely absorb it.
The effect was extremely remarkable. He had already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Houtian realm, only a step away from the tenth level of the Houtian realm.
“It was really thanks to a few pine nuts that I saved years of effort, and there were no side effects.” Li Qing muttered to himself.
However, to break through this bottleneck and finally reach the tenth level of the Houtian realm was not easy. It would take a very long time to continuously polish and save before breaking through.
Li Qing wasn’t in a hurry either. If he acted too hastily and forcefully broke through, he might even go crazy and lose control of his True Qi.
If he progressed too quickly, his foundation would become unstable. It was time for him to settle down.
After the Eternal Spring Fruit Gathering, the Eight Barren Mountains regained their calm. The people from the various major powers left one after another, and this place became a paradise, free from all competition.
Time passed peacefully, and nothing big happened again.
Being in the depths of the mountain range, it was impossible for anything big to happen frequently. Li Qing went through another period of calm.
During this period, something strange happened. Flaming Sun Peak would often tremble violently and then return to silence.
It was like an earthquake, but it was extremely short and fleeting.
But the tremors were strong enough to be clearly felt. Originally, if it was only once or twice, this matter would not be strange, but the strange thing was that every ten days and a half months, it would tremble. It was very regular.
Li Qing asked Liu Ke’er, but found that something like this had happened in You Yue Peak, exactly the same.
Obviously, this was not a coincidence. I’m afraid the eight peaks are all in the same situation.
At the beginning, this matter caused a bit of panic, but the elders of the sect came out to calm down and told them that they didn’t need to worry. It was just a small matter. The disturbance gradually subsided.
The number of vibrations had increased, and nothing had happened. Everyone was used to it, and they slowly ignored it.
Li Qing didn’t care, since the sky had collapsed and there was a tall man standing on top of him. There were so many supreme experts in the sect, there was no need to be afraid of anything.
A year later.
After cultivating hard, Li Qing finally broke through to the tenth level of the Houtian realm.
