Looking at Lord Chang Sheng’s memories, one could tell that the strange creatures he had created were far more than the Eternal Nightmare.

What shocked Li Qing the most was that the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix was actually made by Lord Chang Sheng!

Back then, Lord Chang Sheng had accidentally obtained a phoenix egg. However, this egg had almost lost its life aura and was about to turn into a fossil.

Lord Chang Sheng first used the Longevity Immortal Pill to revive the phoenix egg, and then placed it into the Heavenly Lake to nurture it for tens of thousands of years before hatching it.

During this period of time, it was inevitable that he would use all sorts of peculiar methods to modify this phoenix egg.

Only then did the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix become the most heaven-defying creature in history.

“No wonder I placed the egg of the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix into the Heavenly Lake to successfully hatch it. It turns out that it was hatched there for tens of thousands of years in the beginning.”

In addition, as Li Qing had guessed, the mysterious figure who had taken away the new Ancient God back then was indeed Lord Chang Sheng!

Only the power of the Ascension Heavenly Palace could steal the baby from the eyes of the Xia Emperor and successfully escape.

The reason for that was because the Ascension Heavenly Palace was originally a supreme treasure in the void, and even the Xia Emperor could not catch up to it.

It was precisely under Lord Chang Sheng’s guidance that Crown Prince Shixuan consumed the Form Transformation Fruit and transformed it into a human form. Moreover, under Lord Chang Sheng’s ingenious arrangement, he met Princess Mingyue.

Crown Prince Shixuan was the son of Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, and Princess Mingyue was the daughter of the Xia Emperor. Both of them were supreme bloodlines. Only such an outstanding bloodline could break the boundaries of life, condense the crystallization of love, and give birth to a half-demon.

In order to create a perfect life form, Lord Chang Sheng had spent a lot of effort. In the long days that followed, he had done all sorts of experiments, but most of them had failed.

Afterwards, he discovered that the Half Demon wasn’t really a perfect life and had all sorts of restrictions, so he thought that this path wouldn’t work, so he ran away to do other research.

Li Qing could not help but sigh in his heart as he looked at Lord Chang Sheng’s memories. “The reason why he was so capable of doing this and doing that, and all sorts of strange research, aside from wanting to develop a perfect life form so that it could be used as a container for him, there was also another main reason, and that was that he was so idle that his eggs hurt!”

“I was so idle that I had nothing to do, so I thought about doing these strange studies to pass the time.”

“Otherwise, who would be able to endure such a long time of boredom and desolation?”

“It’s impossible to cultivate. Only by doing these studies can one survive.”

“When a person is too idle, it is inevitable that he will think nonsense and come up with some ideas that are different from ordinary people. Therefore, most of the research done by Lord Chang Sheng is somewhat strange.”

“However, the results are not bad. Lord Chang Sheng’s actions have affected several earth-shattering events in history and almost changed the direction of human development. He even created several terrifying creatures. The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, Ancient God, the Seven-Colored Phoenix, and the Eternal Nightmare were all born directly or indirectly in his hands.”

“The other Polarity Emperor was able to make a breakthrough back then, thanks to Lord Chang Sheng’s immortal pill effects.”

Seeing this memory, Li Qing’s expression couldn’t help but be a little strange. It turned out that back then, Lord Chang Sheng had an idea to seize the Extreme Emperor’s body, but he gave up.

The reason for giving up was very simple, it was because of fear!

He wasn’t afraid of being unable to reach the Extreme Emperor. After all, the Extreme Emperor back then was still weak, young, and far from reaching the Great Perfection Realm. To Lord Chang Sheng, it wasn’t worth mentioning at all.

The main reason why Lord Chang Sheng was afraid was because he was afraid that after taking away the humans, he would no longer be able to enjoy the benefits of longevity!

Once he snatched away the human race, that meant that he would no longer be the Ascension Heavenly Palace’s Spirit, becoming a complete and utter life. If he could not survive the tenth level of the lightning tribulation, he would die forever.

It was precisely this kind of fear that affected him, so much so that he did not dare to seize the Extreme Emperor and missed out on such a perfect body.

“It turns out that the Polarity Emperor had encountered such a dangerous situation when he was young. If Lord Chang Sheng hadn’t given up, wouldn’t the Polarity Emperor have perished just like that?”

“It was Lord Chang Sheng who gave up. The Polarity Emperor did not see through his sinister intentions. That’s why he always respected him as his master, forming a legend that has been passed down through the ages.”

Li Qing also remembered that when Daoist Mingfeng first met Li Qing, he wanted to take him as his disciple. This routine was exactly the same!

Fortunately, he wasn’t fooled at that time. Otherwise, when he became Lord Chang Sheng’s disciple, all the secrets would basically be seen through by Lord Chang Sheng. How could he go against the wind like this?

“This Lord Chang Sheng has waited for 100,000 years. He really can’t stand this loneliness, so after a period of internal struggle, he finally decided to take my body away!”

“I can only blame him for his bad luck. He chose to use my body as a container, but in the end, he was overshadowed by me.”

“However, this is normal. My body is perfect to the extreme and has a strong attraction. It’s not surprising that Lord Chang Sheng chose me. In the end, I still can’t escape. It can only be said that this is fate.”

Li Qing had read through these memories, and the last part was the power that Lord Chang Sheng controlled in the secular world.

There weren’t many factions on the surface. Basically, they were mainly used to gather intelligence, such as the Ming Feng Trading Firm.

Every one of the five domains in the world had an organization controlled by Lord Chang Sheng, and their combat strength was secondary. However, Li Qing was pleasantly surprised by the ability of these forces to gather intelligence.

“With these organizations, I don’t need to rely on the Myriad Devil Sect to get any information in the future. I can handle them myself. This way, I can avoid a lot of trouble.”

In the following period of time, Li Qing thoroughly studied the Ascension Heavenly Palace and completely controlled it in his hands. Only then could he feel relieved.

“It’s time to go back. Ke’er is still unconscious. I want to take the Longevity Immortal Pill back to save her.” Li Qing thought to himself.

The Ascension Heavenly Palace was a supreme treasure of the void type. It was really convenient to use it to travel. It directly opened a void passageway and sent Li Qing back to the Great Thousand Worlds. Moreover, it accurately landed in the Southern Domain’s Cloud Continent.

As for the Ascension Heavenly Palace treasure, in order to maintain its secrets, it was temporarily allowed to float and sink in the void to avoid being discovered. After taking control of the Ascension Heavenly Palace, Li Qing could use the power of the Heavenly Palace to return there at any time.

…

Because Li Qing had fought with Lord Chang Sheng for too long, and adding up to the few odd moments at the beginning, it had been seven or eight years.

After such a long period of time, he didn’t know what would happen. Li Qing was very nervous and returned to the Liu Clan at an extremely fast speed.

His divine sense swept by and familiar figures appeared in his eyes. Very quickly, he found Liu Ke’er’s figure.

At this moment, she was lying on the bed, still unconscious. Her face was pale like a beautiful lotus flower. Xiao Bai sat by the bed, tilting his head, looking listless. He didn’t know what he was thinking.

“Fortunately, everything is safe and sound.” Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

He opened the door and went inside, shouting softly, “Xiao Bai, I’m back!”

Xiao Bai was immediately shocked. He couldn’t help but wipe his eyes and look at it again before finally confirming that it wasn’t an illusion. He immediately shouted in surprise, “You’re finally back!”

After saying that, he immediately rushed over and hugged Li Qing tightly.

“Nothing has happened in this period of time, has it?” Li Qing asked.

“Something happened. Let me tell you.” The little white man couldn’t conceal his happy expression.

“Let’s not talk about this for the time being. Let me first wake Ke’er up.” Li Qing stopped her.

“Have you found a way to treat Sister Ke’er?”

Li Qing nodded and walked to Liu Ke’er’s side. He took out a Longevity Immortal Pill and fed it to her mouth.

A golden light flashed and Liu Ke’er opened her eyes. She was a little confused, but she immediately woke up and said, “Li Qing, where is this?”

“This is your home. Everything is safe.” Li Qing smiled slightly, his expression gentle.

…

The next day, after listening to Xiao Bai’s story, Li Qing finally understood the situation.

“Poison Saint? The most skilled person in the Myriad Devil Sect?” Li Qing fell into deep thought.

During this period of time, thanks to the help of the Poison Saint, Liu Ke’er would be given medicine every once in a while to prevent her from sinking forever.

Liu Ke’er slept like this. Although she wouldn’t die completely, she would still cause great damage to her primordial spirit.

Especially in terms of mentality, falling into a dream would inevitably lead to a feeling of disorder, which could cause schizophrenia and become a neurosis over time.

Li Qing had fought with Lord Chang Sheng for seven or eight years. This period of time was a bit too long. Even if he found the Longevity Immortal Pill to treat it, it would still leave Liu Ke’er with an indelible psychological trauma in the end.

Fortunately, Poison Saint was constantly studying the Eternal Nightmare and eliminating the effects of this strange poison, so Liu Ke’er was able to recover unscathed.

Of course, what Li Qing did not know was that the Poison Saint’s research into the Eternal Nightmare required Xiao Bai to continuously provide blood. Otherwise, no matter how powerful this person’s medical skills were, it would be impossible for him to come up with a solution out of thin air.

At first, Xiao Bai was hesitant, but when he learned that Poison Saint had guessed her true identity, he no longer retained her and provided her with fresh blood.

Of course, Xiao Bai naturally wouldn’t tell Li Qing about these things.

Apart from Liu Ke’er’s incident, many shocking events had taken place in the entire world, causing tremendous upheaval.

The first major event shocked Li Qing, and that was … Great Emperor Hong Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty had forcefully crossed the seventh lightning tribulation two years ago, and was ambushed and killed by Dao Sovereign Zhulong of the Great Qian Dynasty!
