Hun Xuzi's summons
Listening to Li Changqing's explanation, Gu Yuena's thoughts were churning. Having been in the Dou Qi Continent for so many years, she naturally knew that the pinnacle of cultivation on the Dou Qi Continent was the Dou Di.
Gu Yuena was already shocked by the power of Dou Sheng. How powerful must Dou Di, who is above Dou Sheng, be to create such a vast and solid independent space?
Gu Yuena frowned and asked again, "They existed before, which means there are no Dou Di now? Even someone as powerful as Dou Di can die of old age? Or is there another reason?"
Li Changqing pulled Gu Yuena into his arms. "I'll explain everything to you slowly once we're in bed."
With that, Li Changqing carried Gu Yuena into the house and began to act as her dragon Knight.
Meanwhile, the Amethyst Winged Lion King ran wildly around the Courtyard, wanting to unleash the wildness that had been suppressed for three years.
Time flies. In the second year after arriving in the Soul World, Li Changqing cultivated to the Nine-Turn Dou Venerate Peak Zun and, with the help of the Bodhi Pill, successfully broke through to the Half-Saint.
Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King have improved their cultivation through practicing the Hun Clan High-Rank Cultivation Technique obtained by Li Changqing, as well as the Pill he provided. They have already reached the Nine-Star Dou Ancestor and will be able to attempt to break through to Dou Zun in a few days.
At the same time, Xiao Yan officially entered Central Plains, broke through to the Dou Ancestor, and refined the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
However, Li Changqing still did not begin refining the ninth-grade Ninth Grade Precious Pill, even though he felt he could refine it, he did not attempt it.
After all, his cultivation level was too low to support the refining of Ninth Grade Precious Pill. If Four-Turn Dou Zun were to refine Ninth Grade Precious Pill, the Pill Lightning of the Ninth Grade Precious Pill would be too terrifying, and such a commotion would be impossible to conceal, easily arousing suspicion from the Hun Clan.
As a result, without Ninth Grade Pill that was effective for his cultivation, and without suitable Pill to aid his cultivation, Li Changqing's cultivation speed slowed down.
It took six years for Li Changqing's cultivation to reach the peak of One-Star Dou Sheng. Of course, the cultivation that Li Changqing displayed was that of Five-Turn Dou Zun.
With the help of Li Changqing's Pill, Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King have both broken through to the Dou Zun.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was overjoyed. This little lion from the northwest corner of the Dou Qi Continent had actually broken through to become Dou Zun, making it a powerful figure even in the Central Plains.
As for Gu Yuena, she had finally come to a complete understanding of her own talent and gained a profound appreciation for the terrifying nature of Alchemist. Without Li Changqing's support in providing Pill, it would have been incredibly difficult for her to break through to the Dou Zun on her own.
Therefore, Gu Yuena completely abandoned her resistance to serving Li Changqing and became enthusiastic.
You might ask, where is Gu Yuena's pride as the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts? How could she sell her body? Isn't that shameful?
Gu Yuena said, "What's the use of pride? What's the use of face? Nothing beats improving your cultivation."
Li Changqing was also thinking about how to get out.
After all, if one only focuses on arduous cultivation, the progress in cultivation will be too slow, and he can already feel the slowness of his cultivation.
To rapidly improve one's cultivation level, one still needs to obtain a fortuitous opportunity.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Hun Tiandi to reach the Eight-Star Dou Sheng when he opened the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.
On this day, Li Changqing was cultivating when a Hun Clan Dou Zun suddenly came to find him.
The Hun Clan Dou Zun approached Li Changqing and said arrogantly, "Li Changqing, Lord Hun Xuzi is looking for you."
Li Changqing frowned. Are all people from ancient families like this?
As a mere Dou Zun, facing a fifth-level Dou Zun expert like Li Changqing, who is also an alchemist capable of refining eighth-grade nine-colored Dan Lei pills, one should at least put away one's arrogance, if not treat him with utmost respect.
Feeling slighted, Li Changqing naturally wouldn't give the Hun Clan Dou Zun a friendly look, ignoring him completely and flying towards Hun Xuzi's Residence on his own.
Seeing that he was being ignored, the Hun Clan Dou Zun flew into a rage. "Li Changqing, how dare you! You're an outsider, being able to cultivate in the Soul World is a blessing you've accumulated over eight lifetimes, yet you dare to disrespect me!"
"Believe it or not, I'll report this to Lord Hun Xuzi and have you banished from the Soul World!"
Li Changqing turned around, his eyes dangerously fixed on the Dou Zun. A terrifying pressure was released, pressing the Dou Zun firmly to the ground. Li Changqing said contemptuously:
"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me like that? Didn't the Hun Clan teach you that you must show due respect to the strong?"
The Dou Zun remained unconvinced. "So what if you're strong? I'm a member of the Hun Clan, and you're nothing but a dog raised by my Hun Clan. Do you dare to kill your master and attack me?"
Li Changqing's gaze was icy, filled with murderous intent. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
Li Changqing flashed forward and delivered a powerful kick to the chest of the Dou Zun, causing the chest to cave in and the sternum to break almost completely.
The intense pain made his eyes widen, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his breath suddenly dropping.
With a bang, the Dou Zun was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.
Li Changqing followed closely behind and appeared in front of him.
The Dou Zun struggled to his feet, his eyes still filled with malice.
"Li Changqing, how dare you! You could have spared my life if you had simply knelt and begged for mercy, but you dared to lay a hand on me. Now, even calling me 'Dad' won't help. Once I return and report to Lord Hun Xuzi, you'll suffer a terrible death!"
Li Changqing was amused and annoyed. This guy's thought process was really peculiar; even at a time like this, he was still threatening him.
Li Changqing shook his head, lifted the Dou Zun with his left hand, and slapped him repeatedly across the face with his right hand.
With just the first slap, the Dou Zun's cheekbone was cracked and a large number of his teeth were knocked out.
The excruciating pain filled the Dou Zun's eyes with bloodshot veins. He was truly terrified now, his face showing fear. Li Changqing's expression indicated that he was genuinely going to kill him.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but Li Changqing's relentless slaps rendered him speechless.
The sounds of slapping continued to echo.
Before long, the Dou Zun had turned into a pig's head, completely unrecognizable as human. His cheekbones and jawbone were shattered by Li Changqing's slap, and blood kept flowing from his mouth.
Li Changqing then stopped, letting out a long breath as his anger at being slighted finally subsided slightly.
The Dou Zun was no longer able to speak coherently. He looked at Li Changqing in terror, stammering incoherently, roughly begging Li Changqing to spare his life.
Li Changqing sneered, "Weren't you doing so well just now? Why are you begging for mercy now? Remember this, you better avoid me in the future, or I'll beat you every time I see you."
Before he finished speaking, Li Changqing kicked the Dou Zun again, sending him flying.
Li Changqing clapped his hands, his anger subsiding, and continued flying towards Hun Xuzi's Residence.
He was somewhat puzzled. He had spent a total of four years in the Soul World, and during those four years, Hun Xuzi had never contacted him. Why was he looking for him now?
