Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

Li Changqing experienced a standoff with the ancient demon king. Although the standoff was not complicated, it lasted for quite a while.

Logically, by the time he withdrew from the Demon King's will, the surroundings should have been teeming with killing intent.

But this is not the case.

Even after Li Changqing withdrew from the Demon King's will, he could still hear the laughter of the Qi Emperor.

"Ha ha……"

Unless he has a serious illness, he can't laugh for a long time.

The first thing a qualified ruler must learn is to not show his emotions.

This emperor of Qi was probably no exception.

Even if he couldn't help but laugh a few more times for a moment, it would only be a few more laughs; it couldn't last forever.

Therefore, the time Li Changqing spent confronting the ancient demon king was only a few breaths at most.

From the perspective of the Emperor of Qi.

He was about to mock Li Changqing for being young and reckless, daring to touch anything.

Before he could even utter a word, Li Changqing had already returned to normal.

Even the will of the ancient demon king, which was difficult for their Qi Kingdom ancestor to subdue, was subdued by Li Changqing.

This is even more outrageous than when the Emperor of Qi saw Li Changqing arrive here alone.

The emperor of Qi was completely stunned, looking utterly dumbfounded.

"Laugh, don't you like to laugh?"

Li Changqing had a bright smile on his face.

To be honest, he still preferred the Qi emperor's arrogant laughter earlier; it was much more pleasing to the eye than his current dumbfounded expression.

"How could you be alright?"

Those innate spiritual bones whose will could be destroyed by them have already been eliminated by them.

The top experts in Qi Kingdom almost all have innate spiritual bones, and even their ancestors were no exception.

The spirit bones of the flying centipede before us are the best among all the innate spirit bones in the Qi Kingdom.

There are differences between different types of spiritual bones.

They are basically the physical essence left behind by ancient peak demons, or even demon kings.

These essences are concentrated in one bone.

Theoretically speaking, the more essence remains, the more important the bones left behind by the great demons will be.

Some kept claws, some kept tails, and some kept wings.

Very few can truly retain most of their body's core.

The flying centipede has left behind almost its entire skeleton.

What does this mean?

No one understood this better than the high-ranking officials of Qi.

This innate spiritual bone likely contains a considerable amount of power from that ancient demon king.

Even if this power is only 10%.

Once absorbed by someone in their royal family, they can at least produce a powerful individual with the strength of a half-step supreme being.

Moreover, such a near-supreme status can be passed down through generations.

With a bit of luck, it's not impossible for a supreme-level expert to be born directly.

The ancestor of the Qi state fought against the remnant will of the flying centipede dozens or even hundreds of times, but he was never able to gain any advantage.

There are certainly other reasons for this.

Putting aside everything else, at the very least, the ancestor of the Qi Kingdom must want to explore the secrets of the ancient times, just like Li Changqing.

The records of ancient times, the era before martial artists roamed the world, are already very vague and unclear.

Even the records in the Great Zhou Armory are very unclear.

Records only state that in ancient times, before martial arts were prevalent, powerful demon races roamed the world.

Later, with the rise of the Martial Arts Supreme, the ancient demons began to retreat in defeat, with some eventually scattering throughout the world. Others retreated to the Northern Dark Demon Mountain.

The Northern Darkness Demon Mountain is said to be a vast ocean that crosses the far north, a place perpetually covered in ice and snow and rarely visited by humans or animals.

Originally, Li Changqing wasn't very interested in that place.

The ancient demon race has been driven to the far north by the human supreme beings, a place similar to the Arctic Circle.

What kind of legacy or powerful figures could they possibly have?

Even if there was something originally, there probably isn't much left now.

But now, Li Changqing's thoughts have changed.

The records from the human side are already blurred, so things may not be as simple as he thought.

Just because the human race has no records of it doesn't mean the demon race doesn't.

Perhaps there are even powerful beings at the level of demon kings among the demon race now.

It was only because it was too weak to fight alone that it chose to retreat to the Northern Dark Demon Mountain and did not compete with humans for the leading role in the world.

"You actually absorbed the spirit bone?"

If the Emperor of Qi hadn't reminded him, Li Changqing wouldn't have noticed it himself.

The innate spiritual bone of the flying centipede has already merged into his body.

Li Changqing felt as if his strength had increased.

It must be admitted that even with only a fraction of its original power remaining, the power within the Flying Centipede's spirit bone is still extraordinary.

It increased Li Changqing's strength by 15%.

Although it wasn't of much help to Li Changqing himself.

But if it were handed over to a half-step supreme being, or even a powerful expert at the Great Free and Unfettered Realm.

The State of Qi was able to cultivate a half-step supreme being with extremely powerful strength.

Moreover, this half-step supreme status can be passed down from generation to generation.

Just like the throne of their Great Zhou Dynasty.

It was even more convenient than the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because the Guardian Stone could not be moved, and the Great Zhou emperor was confined to one place and had no way to protect the entire Great Zhou.

Those who inherit this innate spiritual bone can not only protect the entire Qi Kingdom, but also launch expeditions.

"This is truly a wonderful treasure!"

Although Li Changqing had already made up his mind to use this innate spiritual bone to create Chen Changfeng.

Nangong Qiushui is also good, but Jinlong Daxia's potential is undoubtedly stronger.

His significance to the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and even to the entire World Society, is different.

Li Changqing had no reason to let go of such a useful card.

The stronger the Golden Dragon Hero is, the better. It would be even more perfect if he could become a half-step Supreme, or even be able to fight against a Supreme.

This was originally almost impossible.

However, with the blessing of innate spiritual bones, he now possesses nearly 20% of the power of an ordinary supreme being.

This turned the impossible into the possible.

Just because no one has ever done it before doesn't mean that Master Jinlong can't do it.

Of course, that's all in the future. Right now, Li Changqing feels his body is bursting with power.

His eyes flashed like lightning as he stared at the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation that had already surrounded him. Sensing the spatial fluctuations, Li Changqing's lips curled into a smile.

"Where is Jiang Tang, the patriarch of the Qi state? Why don't you come forward and quickly accept your death?"

Upon hearing his question, the Emperor of Qi was completely dumbfounded.

The Supreme Regent before us is completely unpredictable.

He went to the Qi royal palace and caused widespread destruction, which was already extremely excessive.

He actually wants the ancestor of the State of Qi to come and die.

This is no longer just provoking them at their doorstep; this is barging in and completely disregarding the entire state of Qi.

"Your Highness, Regent, what a magnificent sight!"
