The middle three moves of the Demon Emperor’s Nine Slashes were Mountain and River Suppression, Heaven Breaking, and Ghost God Slash.

The fourth move, Mountain and River Suppression, had the profound meaning that it was infinitely larger. As long as it was large enough, it could destroy everything. All mountains and rivers in the world had to be suppressed.

The fifth move, “Breaking through the Heavens”, can break through the void barrier and dimensional barrier, destroying endless distant enemies. Its profound meaning is that the attack distance is extremely long. Even if you are 108,000 kilometers away, you can still be killed regardless of the distance.

The sixth move, “Slaying Ghosts and Gods”, was able to break through illusions and kill all demons, demons, primordial spirits, illusions, and so on.

If Li Qing had learned the technique of “Slaying Ghosts and Gods” now, he wouldn’t have had to fight so hard in this illusion. The reason for that was because the illusions condensed by Immortal Mountain were illusory and could be killed by this technique.

Unfortunately, he could only use this move to suppress mountains and rivers, and with his current strength, he was utterly powerless to use the latter two moves.

Even Zhen Shanhe had fought with all his might after his cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Xiantian realm.

…

After passing the Extreme Emperor’s test, the Void Illusion in front of him finally reached its end, and a door of light appeared in front of him. After they entered, the heavens and earth changed greatly, returning to the real world.

At this moment, their position was already at the summit of the Abbot Immortal Mountain.

“What dense spiritual energy!” Dongfang Bingyun exclaimed. The peak of the mountain was where the essence of the entire Abbot Immortal Mountain was. The spiritual energy was a hundred times denser than the outside world. Cultivating here would definitely allow one to advance by leaps and bounds.

Spiritual flowers and herbs were everywhere, hundreds and thousands of years old medicinal ingredients could be seen everywhere, making it a supreme treasure trove of nature.

“Where is the Immortal Gold?” Dongfang Bingyun said doubtfully.

“There’s still a mist at the center of the mountain peak. It should be where the Immortal Gold is.” Li Qing pointed.

“There’s actually a layer of fog there. Could it be another illusion?” Dongfang Bingyun’s expression changed.

“It should be the last checkpoint.” Li Qing said.

“Are we going in?”

“How can I give up now that I’ve come to this point? If I don’t see Immortal Gold, all my efforts will be in vain.”

“But it’s too dangerous! The checkpoint ahead is already so difficult, let alone the last one.” Dongfang Bingyun had a faint fear on his face.

“It is indeed very dangerous. How about this, I’ll go in alone. You stay outside and wait. If I don’t come out for a long time, it means that I’m already dead inside. You can go down the mountain yourself.” Li Qing said.

“Then how is that possible?” Dongfang Bingyun said somewhat unhappily, “We have experienced so many tribulations, how can we let you take risks alone? Although my strength is not worth mentioning, it might be useful at a critical moment.”

“But this is still too dangerous for you. Perhaps you will die in a near-death situation. Have you really decided?” Li Qing said seriously.

“It’s decided. I’ll go in with you!” Dongfang Bingyun said without hesitation.

“Since that’s the case, let’s go in together.” Li Qing nodded. “Actually, there is no need to be so pessimistic. The illusion that follows may not be more dangerous than the one in front of us. We should be more optimistic.”

It was decided that they would spend some time collecting the spiritual herbs on the mountain peak. After resting for a while, they recovered their energy and entered the fog again.

Inside the mist was still an incomparably large illusion space. After Li Qing entered, he discovered that Dongfang Bingyun had disappeared.

Li Qing was not in a hurry either. He just stood there quietly and sized up his surroundings, calmly dealing with the imminent danger.

After a while, the starlight condensed and a beautiful figure appeared, walking towards Li Qing.

Seeing this figure, Li Qing’s body trembled and he cried out, “Ke Er!”

“That’s right, it’s me!” Liu Ke’er smiled and said.

“Calm down! Calm down! This is an illusion!” Li Qing took a deep breath. He didn’t expect that Fang Zhangxian Mountain would actually condense Liu Ke’er’s phantom image, causing him to almost lose control of his mind. Fortunately, he knew that this was an illusion and quickly regained his senses.

“Li Qing, did you miss me? Why haven’t you come looking for me for so long?” Liu Ke’er said resentfully.

“I’ve been looking for you, but the location of the White Lotus Sect is very secret. I can’t find it.”

“You have such a good relationship with the Su Clan. You have been with Su Jingxiang for a long time and even cultivated for her. Have you already moved on?”

“No, the person I love the most has always been you! That will never change.” Li Qing said firmly. Although he knew that this was fake, he still hurriedly explained.

“But I saw Su Jingxiang’s shadow in your heart. Your heart has been shaken. Your heart no longer belongs to me alone.” Liu Ke’er cried.

Li Qing’s body trembled, and Su Jingxiang’s shadow appeared in his heart?

“This illusion can peek into my heart and interrogate my soul! If my soul fails, I will forever sink into this illusion and be unable to leave!”

“Why haven’t you spoken for so long? Did I get your heart right? Your heart is really shaken. Your feelings for us are not firm!”

Li Qing was silent for a long time. He frankly admitted, “You’re right. Perhaps I do have Su Jingxiang’s shadow in my heart, and my heart has been shaken before. But I have always stuck to the bottom line. I did not accept Su Jingxiang’s feelings, nor did I make any mistakes.”

Originally, he had never considered these questions, but under Liu Ke’er’s questioning, his mind gradually cleared up.

‘”Facing temptation, one’s heart will inevitably waver. Moreover, Su Jingxiang is so beautiful, knowledgeable, courteous, and understanding. I am not a sage, so I can’t help but feel apathetic. This is unavoidable!”

“But ape is one thing, and action is another. In life we must overcome all kinds of temptations and make no mistakes.”

“The person I love the most in my heart will always be you, but it’s also possible to have a good impression of others. This is a physiological reaction. All I can do is stick to the bottom line and treat you as the only one I have.”

After saying those words, Li Qing’s mood relaxed a lot. He really had a good impression of Su Jingxiang. He had to admit this frankly. Otherwise, he would be lying to his heart.

However, it was only a good impression. He would not accept the rest of the women, and Liu Ke’er was the only one in his heart.

Liu Ke’er took a deep look at Li Qing, sighed and disappeared.

After a while, another person appeared in front of Li Qing.

This was his mother!

After many years, Li Qing saw his mother’s voice again, and his eyes couldn’t help but be wet.

“It’s been so many years. Have you ever thought about me?” His mother said with a smile.

“I want to! Even in my dreams!” Li Qing nodded repeatedly.

“Since you miss me so much, why don’t you stay here and accompany me?” His mother stretched out a hand, wanting to make contact with Li Qing.

Li Qing involuntarily stretched out his hand and clenched it tightly with his mother’s. Although he knew that this was an illusion, he could feel the temperature in his hands as if it was real.

He stared deeply at his mother for a while and sighed, “Although the child really wants to stay by her side, he knows that all of this is fake.”

“What does fake have to do with real? As long as you can stay with me. Isn’t it better to have me here than real?” Mother smiled.

“If it was a real mother, of course I would like to stay with you, but you are not.”

“How do you know I’m not real?” Mother said, “The original world may not be real, and the world here may not be fake.”

Li Qing was speechless, unable to refute.

“Actually, there is no truth or falsehood in this world. If you think it is true in your heart, then it is true.”

“It really can’t be fake. It really can’t be fake.”

“No, you’re wrong!” Mother shook her head and waved her hand, “Look!”

The surrounding scenery changed greatly, and they returned to the Heavenly Saber Tribe. The familiar scenery, the villagers they knew, and the sounds of chickens and dogs were heard, filled with a harmonious aura.

“Look at this world. It’s so real that you can’t tell it’s fake. When the fake world reaches the exact same level as the real world, there’s no difference between the two.”

“It’s exactly the same, so there’s no difference?” Li Qing fell into deep thought.

‘”What’s the difference? You live like this in the outside world, and you live like this in the illusion world. No matter how you live, you still have to turn into a pile of yellow soil after you die. Whether you live in the real world or in the false world, there is not a single trace left behind. Is there any difference?”

“Then I will try my best to leave behind traces in the world so that everyone will remember me!” Li Qing said.

“What does it mean for you to be remembered? It doesn’t make any sense. Time can kill everything. In another thousand years, everyone will forget about you. It’s as if you’ve never appeared before. The world is still running. One more you, not more. One less you, not less. Since the final result is nothing but nothing, why do you still want to go out? Isn’t it better to stay here and live with me? ”

“What you said is all false and heresy!” Li Qing smiled bitterly. “Although I can’t find the loophole in your words, I still know that it can’t be faked. It can’t be faked!”

“After all you’ve said, you’re still stubborn! Looks like you don’t have a mother like me in your heart. You can’t even stay here to accompany me.” His mother’s face darkened.

After a moment of silence, Li Qing said, “I know what the difference is.”

“Where?”

Li Qing smiled faintly, “My real mother only loves me wholeheartedly and never harms me. And you have harmed me from beginning to end. That’s the difference.”

“Seeing that I can’t convince you, if you think about it clearly, you can come back and find me!” Mother’s shadow disappeared.

Li Qing sighed, “Goodbye, mother!”
