The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Just as Li Qingshan was pondering, the old eunuch flew up.

He was stunned at first, then instantly enraged, and fought a fierce battle with Li Qingshan. In the end, he was no match for him and had to leave in a sorry state.

This single battle made Li Qingshan realize his own terror and power, and even understand how weak the Eternal Mother was back then.

At the same time, he learned from the old eunuch that the one who had been searching for him and the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng on his body in the capital was the Ninth Princess, Xiao Ruohan.

This greatly shocked Li Qingshan, who then prepared to enter the palace to find out what was going on.

But then, Dongxuan, who had been silently protecting him, stopped him and took him to that mysterious mountain valley.

Only at this moment did Li Qingshan realize that this mountain valley was the burial place of that ruthless empress.

It contains great terror. Although the empress died, she used a secret technique to seize the creation of heaven and earth and condense supreme divine power. This mountain valley is the external manifestation of her inner world.

When the entire ancient battlefield is completely covered, the Empress will be fully restored and once again reign supreme.

At the same time, Dongxuan told Li Qingshan that the Ninth Princess was very likely being parasitized, or that someone was trying to seize her intelligence.

Because during the time Li Qingshan was cultivating, he went out to the palace and realized that the Ninth Princess had more than one soul.

Upon learning this news, Li Qingshan did not rush to leave the mountain. Perhaps he continued to cultivate the Yin-Yang Green Lotus Sword, the Five Elements Primordial Fist, and the Thirty-Six Steps of the Heavenly Gang.

These three divine abilities appear even more powerful in the face of his current Celestial Realm, capable of creating celestial phenomena with every move he makes.

Therefore, after making all the necessary preparations, Li Qingshan sneaked into the imperial city to meet the Ninth Princess.

But as soon as he appeared, he was stopped by two celestial monks from the Landala Monastery. They believed he had Buddha-nature and prepared to take him back to the Western Desert to receive the Buddha's baptism.

Li Qingshan got into a fight with them over a single word. Although he was no match for them, he still sensed that their Buddhist teachings were not pure.

They then began to discuss the Dao. Relying on their own theoretical ideas, the two Buddhas were so shocked that they turned pale and exclaimed that Li Qingshan was the reincarnation of the Great Free Demon Lord!

Then he left directly, but on the way, he spread rumors that a demon lord had descended upon the Great Qian Dynasty, intending to destroy the world.

This battle not only attracted the attention of the entire Great Qian Dynasty court, but also drew the attention of the current ruler of Great Qian, Emperor Qian Yuan.

Li Qingshan demanded that the other party hand over Xiao Ruohan, but this Emperor Qian Yuan told Li Qingshan something even more terrifying.

The former Eternal Mother was Emperor Qian Yuan's aunt and the sister of the current true power holder in the entire Great Qian Dynasty.

Therefore, Emperor Qianyuan made a deal with Li Qingshan: to use Li Qingshan's power to directly eliminate his superior, who was also his father.

Li Qingshan agreed. After all, he had also felt the pressure from the Great Qian royal family and even suspected that there were powerful figures hidden in the court who could overcome the human tribulation of the three tribulations of heaven and man.

Following Emperor Qian Yuan's instructions, Li Qingshan arrived at Zhenbei Pass.

Here, he met the Zhenbei King, a Celestial Realm expert. The other party was incredibly powerful, having cultivated the Military Fiend Technique. On the battlefield, his strength was almost limitless.

For this reason, he had no choice but to enter the capital without imperial decree, and he was also forbidden from approaching the ancient battlefield.

After a conversation and a battle, the Prince of Zhenbei finally acknowledged Li Qingshan and agreed to let him take Liu Ruyan away.

By this time, Liu Ruyan had already become a pillar of the army, continuing the glory that belonged to her father, Liu Wumu, and was known as the female general who guarded the north and Guanzhong.

As for the son of the Prince of Zhenbei who looked exactly like Li Qingshan, he also appeared in front of Li Qingshan. However, this son of the Prince of Zhenbei did not care at all about the fact that Li Qingshan looked the same as him.

Instead, he fell in love with a princess from another race, and was so madly in love with her that he wanted Li Qingshan to live in his place so that he could elope with her.

However, Li Qingshan did not agree. With just a few words of advice, the son of the Prince of Zhenbei instantly realized the truth and prepared to keep the princess as his wife.

As for other races?

If they are unwilling to continue retreating south, they will face the threat of being killed by two Celestial Realm experts.

When the Sirius clan saw that their plan had failed, they sent a high priest, a powerful figure in the Celestial Realm, to try to bring the princess back.

However, Li Qingshan defeated him with a single move, severely injuring his primordial spirit and bringing his earth fire tribulation to an earlier date.

During his time at the border, Li Qingshan diligently studied and practiced his skills, successfully surviving the cataclysmic tribulation that nearly recreated the world.

The Prince of Zhenbei also learned that Li Qingshan came from a remote village, and according to the family genealogy, Li Qingshan was very likely from his own branch of the family.

Li Qingshan had no opinion on this; in any case, it wouldn't be a problem for him to start his own clan.

After his breakthrough, he married Liu Ruyan and returned to Lin'an City to meet the remaining ladies and young women.

It was within the Water Snake Gang in Lin'an City that they discovered Xiao Dongshan, the Marquis of Changning, who was still accumulating power and intending to overthrow everything.

It turned out that Xiao Dongshan had obtained the inheritance of a mysterious hermit in the East Sea and was secretly accumulating power. When Li Qingshan met him, the other party had already broken through to the peak of the Grandmaster level, just one step away from stepping into the Celestial Realm.

Unfortunately, his opponent was one move behind, and Li Qingshan ultimately defeated him.

With the help of Xiao Dongshan's resources, Li Qingshan successfully broke through to the Heavenly Human Realm and reached the Earthly Fire Tribulation.

The horrific calamity left behind an eternal lava lake outside Lin'an City.

Li Qingshan was only one tribulation away from crossing the Celestial Realm, and at that moment, Xiao Ruohan appeared.

Looking at the other party, Li Qingshan finally made his choice—to kill the Eternal Mother, even if it meant Xiao Ruohan's death.

Because Li Qingshan was certain that he could break through to the realm of martial arts mastery.

In the end, Li Qingshan succeeded, but unfortunately Xiao Ruohan died, and the Eternal Mother also died.

Just as Li Qingshan was about to break through to the Divine Martial Arts realm, Emperor Qian Yuan, who had devoured his father, appeared and fought a fierce battle with Li Qingshan.

In the end, Emperor Qianyuan, who held the reins of the entire Daqian court and was just one step away from reaching the realm of martial arts mastery, died under Li Qingshan's Nine Yang Sword.

Because the Nine Yang Sword can connect with the power of the ruthless empress located in the ancient battlefield, Emperor Qian Yuan actually died from the combined power of Li Qingshan and that empress.

In the end, Li Qingshan emerged victorious and became the new master of the entire Daqian Empire, which was renamed the Tianqi Empire!
