Li Qing returned to the Ice and Snow Valley and released Liu Ke’er from the Yin-yang Chaos Bottle. The two of them carefully observed this famous Heaven Splitting Remnant Stone.

“This stone looks a little ordinary. Are you sure you didn’t take it wrong?” Liu Ke’er smiled.

“Are you kidding? How could I have taken the wrong one?” Li Qing took out the Demon Ancestor Tree Heart and Bodhi Pearl, and saw that it was shining with brilliant light, clearly pointing at this stone. It was undoubtedly true.

“A dignified Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor has turned into such an ordinary stone after his death. It’s truly a sigh. No matter how powerful a person is, they will all be empty after their death.” Liu Ke’er said.

“Don’t look at its ordinary appearance, but in fact, its interior is no small matter. Pick it up and give it a try!” Li Qing said.

Liu Ke’er stretched out her hand, wanting to pick up the stone, but she found it extremely heavy and could not lift it with all her strength.

“What a heavy stone!” Liu Ke’er said in shock.

“This stone is not only heavy, but it is also invulnerable to fire and water. Even the ice cannot freeze it. Even if you use all your means, you may not be able to do much damage to it.” Li Qing said.

“Alright, the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor is indeed worthy of being called the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor. I was wrong. This stone is extraordinary.” Liu Ke’er smiled.

“I wonder if this stone has really lost all consciousness and is just a dead object. Will it suddenly resurrect one day in the future?” Li Qing hesitated.

“If the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor were to revive, it would definitely be a catastrophe in this world.” Liu Ke’er was also a little worried.

“Let me see if it reacts!” Li Qing took out his Heavenly Saber and moved it closer to the stone.

This was just trying to scare him. If it was spiritual, it would react.

The Heavenly Saber was invincible, and there was nothing in this world that it could not cut. In the past, Li Qing had used this move to frighten the Eight Desolate Sect’s Dao Artifacts. The effect was not bad.

In the end, this stone did not react to the threat of the Heavenly Saber at all, and remained silent as usual.

“Could it be that it’s really just a dead object? Am I overthinking it?” Li Qing frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, and gently chopped the Heavenly Saber onto the Heavenly Splitting Stone.

A shocking thing happened. This Heaven Splitting Legacy Stone was incomparably hard. After being struck by the Heavenly Saber, only a shallow white mark appeared!

“What a hard stone!” The two of them sucked in a breath of cold air.

“I really don’t believe it. Could it be that even Heavenly Saber can’t cut this stone?” Li Qing used a lot of strength this time and brandished his Heavenly Saber again, slashing down fiercely.

Dang!

Sparks splashed everywhere, and a shallow white mark appeared on the Heaven Splitting Remnant Stone. Because Li Qing used more strength than before, the traces were much deeper and could be clearly seen.

“Still not too good! Even the Heavenly Saber is a little helpless against it?” Li Qing frowned slightly.

“Actually, with the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor’s strength, he is no weaker than the Demon Ancestor. It is understandable that Heavenly Saber is unable to destroy it.” Liu Ke’er said.

“Sigh, I just can’t accept it for a moment. The unparalleled sharp Heavenly Saber will fail one day!” Li Qing sighed.

“Actually, the Heavenly Saber is not completely useless against this stone. At the very least, it can cut a shallow white mark. As long as it continues to cut down like this, sooner or later, it will be able to cut open this stone, won’t it?” Liu Ke’er comforted.

“Alright. Actually, I’m not really going to cut this stone open. Why are you struggling?” Li Qing couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. “In a sense, this stone is the corpse of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor. It’s not a big deal if the Heavenly Saber can’t cut it open.”

“Let me try another method to see if it works.” Li Qing took out the Demon Ancestor Tree Heart and approached the Heaven Splitting Remnant Stone. In the end, another strange phenomenon occurred.

Green energy gushed out of the Demon Ancestor Tree’s heart and gathered into the stone.

Of course, after absorbing the energy from the Demon Ancestor Tree’s heart, it still didn’t change at all. It still looked so ordinary and not shocking.

In the surroundings, an endless stream of spiritual energy surged over, forming a vortex. After the transformation of the Demon Ancestor Tree’s heart, green energy flowed into the stone.

“What’s going on?” Liu Ke’er asked.

Li Qing guessed, “The Demon Ancestor Tree possesses the power to nurture all demons. This Demon Ancestor Tree Heart also has the same effect. It must be spontaneously nurturing this stone, wanting to turn it into a demon.”

“Then wouldn’t it be possible to give birth to a second Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor?” Liu Ke’er was shocked.

“It’s not that exaggerated. This is just a Demon Ancestor Tree’s heart. It’s not a complete Demon Ancestor Tree. How could it be so easy to give birth to demons?” Li Qing shook his head, “Not to mention that this stone is still a dead object, it won’t be so easy, so there’s no need to worry.”

“However, it can also be concluded that the Demon Ancestor Tree reacted to this stone. There is indeed a possibility of resurrection in the future. However, the situation after the resurrection is very difficult to determine.”

“Whether he still has the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor’s memories, or the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor’s abilities and talents, all of this is unknown.”

“Originally, I promised Crown Prince Shixuan that I would bury this stone in a beautiful place in the mountains and let it be buried in peace. But now, I have changed my mind. The situation of this stone is not clear, so I can’t rashly arrange it. I have to keep it by my side.” Li Qing said.

“That’s good. If outsiders find out where the Heaven Splitting Stone is, they will inevitably cause trouble again. It’s best to hide it carefully and not reveal it.” Liu Ke’er said.

“You know this matter, I know it. No one else knows about it. As long as we don’t tell anyone, who will know?” Li Qing smiled.

…

Since they had already obtained the Heaven Splitting Stone, there was naturally no need for them to stay in the harsh environment of the Northern Ice Plains.

Before leaving, Li Qing did not dismantle the formation in the Ice and Snow Valley. He even added some spirit stones, which was enough to maintain the formation for many years without being destroyed.

The interior of the Ice and Snow Valley was filled with all kinds of flowers and grass that Liu Ke’er had personally planted. All of them were cold-resistant and believed that they could survive for a very long time.

After making these arrangements, Li Qing took Liu Ke’er to the sky and set foot on the road home.

Not long after, they flew back to the prairies of the Northern Region.

Curious, Li Qing randomly found a tribe and landed. He stayed inside for a while and eavesdropped on other people’s conversations.

In the end, not many people talked about Myriad Devil Li Qing anymore, and the disturbance caused by it seemed to have gradually subsided.

However, because of this matter, the people of the Towering Heaven Sect had made new moves and planned to restart the Heaven’s Eye Plan again.

Of course, the scope of the Heavenly Eye Project this time was no longer the entire Northern Region, but half of the Northern Region, the territory controlled by the Towering Sect.

As long as he could obtain the consent of the five palaces, the Heavenly Eye Plan would basically be successful. At that time, all the movements in the half of the Northern Domain would be displayed in the towering mirror, and it would be much easier to track down any enemies.

This Heavenly Eye Plan is still under discussion. Whether it can be successfully implemented will still take some time before we know. However, this has nothing to do with Li Qing.

At this moment, he had already brought Liu Ke’er out of the Towering Sect’s sphere of influence. The two of them were walking on the prairie. Since no one was chasing after them, they had regained their leisurely mentality.

After walking for a few days, Liu Ke’er suddenly sat down cross-legged and started cultivating under the blue sky and white clouds.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing couldn’t help but be a little surprised. He quickly understood that Liu Ke’er was about to break through the bottleneck after seeing the boundless grasslands.

During the three days of sitting, many shepherds passed by and looked strangely at the young couple who looked like lovers.

Someone kindly warned, “Young man, it is very dangerous to stay here. Natural disasters, grassland demonic beasts, and horse bandits that come and go like the wind may all come. You should leave as soon as possible.”

It was as if their prophecy had been fulfilled. Soon after, a group of horse bandits rushed towards them.

When the herdsmen saw the horse bandits, their expressions changed greatly and they all fled into the distance.

Li Qing frowned. If these bandits dared to disturb Liu Ke’er’s breakthrough, they would really die without redemption.

Although the horse bandits were far away, the sound of their hooves was extremely loud. Rumbling sounds could be heard, causing the ground to tremble slightly, and they absolutely could not be allowed to get close to them.

In order to avoid disturbing Liu Ke’er, Li Qing directly flew into the sky and took the initiative to fly towards this group of horse bandits.

“Not good, the other party is a bit hard. Run!” When the horsemen saw that the person opposite them could actually fly, they were immediately frightened to the point that their souls appeared. They turned their horses around and ran away at an extremely fast speed.

Li Qing didn’t allow them to escape, so he chased after them. In a few seconds, he killed these people until they were covered in corpses. Not a single one of them was left alive.

When he returned to Liu Ke’er’s side, he found that she had already woken up.

Li Qing’s expression changed and he immediately asked, “Why are you awake? Could it be that the sound of the battle just now disturbed you?”

Liu Ke’er smiled and shook her head, “No, I’ve already broken through to the tenth level of the Xiantian realm!”

“That’s good!” Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

“From now on, you are a peak Xiantian expert. You are only a step away from the Void Realm! After you break through to the Void Realm, both of us will have a lifespan of five hundred years. From now on, we will be free to fly together!”

“Yeah, that’s a beautiful future. After reaching the Void Realm, I might be able to help you a little.” Liu Ke’er’s eyes revealed a look of yearning. “It’s just that breaking through to the Void Realm isn’t that easy. It’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens. I really don’t have much confidence in the unity of heaven and man.”

Li Qing held her in his arms and said, “Have you forgotten? I have so many treasures on me, the Good Fortune Fruit, the Towering Snow Lotus, the Myriad Spirit Pill and the Jade True Pill. They are all prepared for you. With so many things here, you will definitely be able to break through!”
