The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Li Qingshan nodded and bowed to Dongxuan in return.

"Thank you for your protection, fellow Daoist. I am deeply grateful. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely lend a helping hand!"

Dongxuan smiled without speaking, but asked:

"What are your plans next, fellow Daoist?"

Li Qingshan's eyes shone brightly, as if he could see the ancient battlefield projected onto the distant capital city.

"Of course I'll go back again. I have a feeling someone is waiting for me there!"

Dongxuan nodded slightly, then, without disturbing Li Qingshan any longer, he vanished as if he had never existed.

Li Qingshan did not rush to leave the ancient battlefield. Instead, he continued to sit cross-legged in the same spot, closed his eyes to rest, and felt the surrounding spiritual energy.

This ancient battlefield truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient battlefield.

The primordial energy in this world is exceptionally complex, containing not only various malevolent energies and the aura of war, but also a trace of destructive power.

Even though Li Qingshan had broken through to the Celestial Realm, he still didn't want to get involved with these complex primordial energies.

The next moment, Li Qingshan soared into the sky, instantly passing through layers of clouds and appearing above the ancient battlefield, looking down at the world below.

At the same time, he looked up and took a deep breath, and saw that the mottled moonlight and the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) were all swallowed by him, becoming part of the 元气 in his dantian.

"That's right, it's indeed because of this ancient battlefield."

"If Dongxuan hadn't swept away the surrounding Yin energy and killing power for me, my breakthrough would have been extremely difficult."

At this point, Li Qingshan understood why some powerful cultivators would choose a secluded place to settle down when they broke through their cultivation; it was to avoid external influences.

However, Li Qingshan was also very interested in something else, which was that he could now truly practice fasting.

By seizing the vital energy of heaven and earth and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, Li Qingshan was no longer controlled by the essence of the five grains. Therefore, he no longer needed to consume "human food".

However, Li Qingshan knew that his strength was weak and his abstinence from grains was only temporary. If someone cut off the vital energy of heaven and earth, he would still need to live like an ordinary person.

At this moment, his solidified spiritual energy surged forth and landed on the Nine Yang Sword behind him.

There he saw a solid space, empty but extremely spacious, which could be used to store objects.

"It seems that this is a special space left behind by that ruthless empress when she forged the Nine Yang Sword, this supreme treasure."

space.

This is a very old and common term, but it is extremely unfamiliar to Li Qingshan.

Even if he attained the status of a celestial being, he would still be unable to comprehend the nature of space.

Not to mention forging a Nine Yang Sword containing space, which shows just how terrifying that ruthless empress's cultivation level was.

However, Li Qingshan was not intimidated. He was still young and had not been cultivating for long. He was sure to be even more outstanding than that ruthless empress in the future.

"The essence of heaven and earth aids my cultivation!"

Li Qingshan took a deep breath, and in an instant, countless ray of moonlight and the primordial energy of heaven and earth began to surge towards him.

Guided by his vital energy, the surrounding moonlight and countless primordial energies of heaven and earth formed a light veil draped over him, making him appear sacred and majestic!

……

"What's going on? Why is the power of heaven and earth and the moonlight boiling? Could it be that the Cave Immortal is absorbing the moonlight's energy? Or... could it be that an extraordinary being has resurrected in this ancient battlefield?"

The old eunuch suddenly stood up from his tent, his eyes blazing like fire, instantly piercing through the tent's barrier and looking up at the heavens.

High in the sky, he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, only a figure that seemed to be surrounded by light, gathering the essence of the moon.

"No, this is the Celestial Realm, and he just broke through. Could it be that the riot on the ancient battlefield was caused by this person?"

What did he think of? The old eunuch's expression changed repeatedly.

Of course, up to this point, he still did not believe that the person who broke through was Li Qingshan. After all, how could a fugitive in the late stage of True Qi reach the Celestial Realm so quickly?

In the old eunuch's eyes, what appeared above the clouds, still gathering the essence of the moon, was very likely a creature that had been resurrected from the ancient battlefield.

An ancient relic, or perhaps a monster, who used secret techniques to reverse his own cultivation level?!

"We need to negotiate and assess the situation to avoid disrupting the current court structure."

After a moment's thought, the old eunuch sat down again, waiting for Li Qingshan to finish collecting the moonlight essence before preparing to visit him.

As for Li Qingshan?!

In the old eunuch's eyes, it was completely unimportant, even negligible.

After all, even the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng is something that is dispensable to people like them who are at the Celestial Realm.

In their eyes, the only treasures that can truly be called treasures are those that can help them avoid the three tribulations of heaven, earth, and man; everything else is nothing but fleeting clouds.

The surrounding moonlight was dazzling and beautiful, as if the place had been transformed into a moon palace.

Li Qingshan, who was in the middle, exhaled moonlight with every breath, and his vital energy was increasing rapidly.

If an ordinary Celestial Realm expert were to witness this scene, they would all be dumbfounded.

Because cultivating to the Celestial Realm is extremely difficult, the most important thing is to take it one step at a time. If you grow too fast, it may attract the attention of heavenly lightning.

When the heavenly tribulation strikes, even if one survives, one will be crippled; if one is careless in a single move, one will perish.

That is why the old eunuch outside the ancient battlefield had only just reached the first tribulation, and his vital energy was not even as deep as Li Qingshan's.

After all, what the old eunuch wanted was to enjoy wealth and luxury in this earthly dynasty.

Instead of being struck by lightning and reduced to ashes, leaving no trace of their remains.

Only when the moonlight disappeared behind the mountains and the rising sun could be vaguely seen did Li Qingshan slowly gather the power of the moonlight around him and float in the heavens.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Celestial Realm: as long as the surrounding primordial energy is not severed, one can continuously draw upon the energy of heaven and earth to replenish oneself.

Therefore, flying between heaven and earth is as easy as walking on flat ground, without any loss of energy.

"Should I storm into the capital and find out what's going on?!"

Having recovered his energy, Li Qingshan sat cross-legged between heaven and earth, contemplating quietly.

According to his calculations, there must be someone in the capital city who was in cahoots with him, otherwise he wouldn't have inexplicably thought of going to the capital when he broke through to the Celestial Realm.

However, it was precisely because of this that Li Qingshan became wary.

"Could it be the Eternal Mother, or some other Celestial Realm expert who made the move?"

Or perhaps the Prince of Qingyang left his own methods on the tip of the Nine Yang Sword?!

As his thoughts wandered, countless guesses arose in Li Qingshan's mind, but he rejected them one by one.

"Therefore, we still need to make a trip to the capital!"
