Li Qing entered the seventh level of the world and looked up. The surroundings were filled with mist, and he couldn’t see mountains and rivers.

After removing the fog, he slowly walked forward. About half an hour later, he arrived at a bamboo forest.

To Li Qing’s surprise, there was actually a thatched cottage hidden within the bamboo forest. The cottage was small, surrounded by a fence, forming a small courtyard. It was quiet and deep, looking like a human dwelling, but it did not look like a Ancient Gods Clan building.

Such a small thatched cottage, with the body of an expert like Ancient Gods Clan, was simply impossible to live in. Clearly, this was a human-built dwelling.

I didn’t expect to see such a room on the seventh floor. This was truly unexpected.

Li Qing gently walked into the bamboo forest. As he walked closer, he could see an ancient tree in front of the thatched cottage. Beneath the tree was a stone table and a stone chair. On top of it sat an old man!

This startled Li Qing. There were actually living people on the seventh floor? How was this possible? Thinking about it, it was inconceivable.

All of this seemed to be so strange. The surroundings were filled with a dense fog. Everything was quiet, as if it was a dream. The old man sat under the tree, giving off a lonely and bleak feeling.

Li Qing was secretly on guard in his heart. He gently pushed open the garden gate and walked inside.

“Tens of thousands of years, someone has finally ascended to the seventh floor!” The old man’s voice rang out without turning his head. He was drinking under the tree.

“Who are you?” Li Qing looked at him vigilantly.

“Do you mind sitting down and having a drink with me?” The old man gestured.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment before sitting on the stone bench. He looked at the old man head-on and found that he looked amiable. His gaze contained a kind of vicissitudes, as if he had experienced countless years.

“It’s been tens of thousands of years. I’m really lonely. I feel very happy when someone comes to talk to me.” The old man smiled faintly and drank all the wine in the cup.

“Tens of thousands of years? Impossible! Who exactly are you?” Li Qing felt very puzzled. How could humans live for tens of thousands of years? Unless it’s a demonic beast.

“Who am I? Who am I?” “My name is Crown Prince Shi Xuan. Have you heard of it?”

“Crown Prince Shi Xuan? Never heard of him.” Li Qing shook his head. The Crown Prince? Could it be the crown prince of an ancient country?

“Haha, I haven’t heard of it. This is normal. After all, after so many years, everyone who knows me has long since died. The world has also forgotten about me.” The old man seemed to be mocking himself, “What is the meaning of my existence? All the people I know have died, all the people I love have died, all my relatives and friends have died, not even a single person in the world knows me, what is the meaning of my existence?”

The old man’s words had a negative mood. He was completely disappointed, but the expression on his face was strangely calm. It was as if all of this had nothing to do with him. Instead, he was narrating it from the perspective of a third person.

“I want to ask you a question.” The old man suddenly said.

“What’s the problem?”

“If you get immortality, but all your friends and relatives die in a long time, and you become a loner, do you think it’s meaningful to live like this?”

“This question … I’m afraid it’s too far away for me to answer.” Li Qing smiled bitterly. This old man is really strange. He even suspects whether he is a normal person or not.

“Forget it, forget it.” The old man sighed. He didn’t expect to get any answers from Li Qing. He was just bored to talk about it alone. “Let’s get back to the truth. You don’t know the Crown Prince of Shi Xuan about my identity. However, I still have an identity that you should have heard of.”

“Oh? What identity?”

“I am the son of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor!” The old man said indifferently, but it was as if a stone had shattered the heavens.

“What?” Hearing this, Li Qing’s expression changed drastically, causing his scalp to go numb. “How is this possible? Son of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, aren’t you a demonic beast? But you look like a human!”

The old man in front of him looked so amiable and full of human wisdom. No matter how he looked at it, he did not look like a demonic beast.

After asking this question, Li Qing suddenly reacted … Oh right, Demonic Beast Transformation! When a demonic beast reached the Demonic Saint realm, it could transform into a human form. However, it had to pay a high price.

Could it be that the old man in front of him really came in the form of a demonic beast? Thinking of this, Li Qing’s hair stood on end. Only demonic beasts at the Demon Saint level could transform into human form. Doesn’t that mean the old man in front of him is the Demon Saint?

In front of the Demon Saint, Li Qing was really too weak. He could easily crush him to death. Doesn’t that mean that he is in danger now?

“What’s impossible? I’m the only bloodline born of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor and the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox! It’s absolutely true!” The old man smiled faintly and said, “As for my appearance, it is also simple. It was formed from demonic beasts.”

After receiving the old man’s affirmative answer, Li Qing immediately became much more cautious. Regardless of whether what the other party said was true or not, he had to be careful. This was a demonic beast.

“Looks like you’re a little scared?” The old man smiled.

“A little.” Li Qing replied. I’m not scared.

“You don’t need to be afraid. I won’t harm you. I’ve lived in the human world for a long time, longer than you! I don’t hate humans.” The old man said.

Regardless of whether the old man hated humans or not, at least there should be no malice right now. Li Qing couldn’t help but ask, “Since you are the son of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, why are you locked up here?”

“Then I have to talk about my other identity.” The old man said, “My other identity is the father of this ancient god!”

The old man was also very talkative and didn’t hide anything about these secrets. Perhaps it was because so many years had passed and he had been lonely for too long, so he had to find someone to talk to.

Li Qing cried out, “You are the father of an ancient god? Isn’t that an ancient god…”

This time, he finally understood. He had always suspected that the ancient god was related to the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, but he never expected that he was actually the grandson of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor. No wonder Ancient Gods Clan used the stone monkey as a totem!

“I know your doubts. The ancient god is indeed my son, the grandson of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor. However, the matter is not so simple. To be exact, the ancient god is not completely a demonic beast.” The old man shook his head.

“Oh? What do you mean?”

The old man looked at him and said, “It seems that you are very curious about these secrets. How about you do me a favor and let me tell you these secrets?”

Li Qing said, “If I can do this, I can agree.”

The old man said, “After my father died, he turned into a stone and flew away. No one in the world knows the whereabouts of this stone. However, as his son, I can roughly sense the location of the stone through my bloodline.”

“You mean …” Li Qing was shocked.

“Help me find the stone and put it back under the Bodhi Ancient Tree of Mount Tong Tian. How about it?” The old man said.

“Impossible!” Li Qing said resolutely.

“Are you afraid that this stone will give birth to another Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor?” The old man sighed and said, “Alright, I knew you wouldn’t agree. How about this, you go find the stone and bury it in a beautiful place. Erect a tombstone and write on it that your unfilial son Shi Xuan is crying.”

“What if I can’t find it?”

“If you can’t find it, then forget it.”

“I can agree to this.” Li Qing nodded. Speaking of which, he was also very curious about the stone that the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor had turned into. He felt admiration for this eternally famous Demon Emperor. If he could find this stone, he might as well do him a favor.

“Since you are willing to help, I will tell you these secrets.” The old man told Li Qing the ancient secret.

“Speaking of which, in the final analysis, the cause of all these things is just the word’love ‘! Do you know why I still keep my human form now?”

“Why?” Li Qing was also puzzled. Since it was a demonic beast, there was no need to maintain its human form all the time. This would make him uncomfortable, and his strength would also decrease.

“Sigh, I haven’t recovered my true form since I transformed into a human form. I almost forgot what my true form is like.” The old man said.

“There’s actually such a thing!”

The old man said, “That year, I just became a Demon Saint. After living in the Demon Emperor Mountain for many years, my lonely and bored days have already made me tired. Thus, I couldn’t help but be tempted by the human world. I didn’t listen to my parents’ advice and turned into a human form and entered the human world.”

Li Qing listened quietly.

The old man’s eyes were deep as he recalled, “You humans will never understand how much human civilization makes us demonic beasts yearn for. Compared to the dull and boring lives of demonic beasts, the outside world is so wonderful. When I entered the human world, I was quickly immersed in the boundless mortal world.”

‘”Not long after, I met a beautiful human woman, a woman that attracted everyone’s attention, a woman that eclipsed the sun, moon and stars. She was like a fairy in the nine heavens, beautiful and white like a bright moon. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her.”

“Because my mother was a nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, I inherited her beauty and outstanding appearance. In addition to my very different personalities from humans, I attracted people’s attention. After we met, we were like magnets, attracted to each other and fell in love with each other deeply.”

“Afterwards, the two of us got married and gave birth to a son. He was an ancient god.”

“The so-called Ancient God is the son of a human woman and me. Now, you should understand why the Ancient God is not a demonic beast, right?”

“As expected!” Li Qing let out a long sigh of relief. After listening to the old man’s story, his expression was extremely calm.
