Almost at the same time, in the mysterious and transcendent Central Continent, the heart of a land where countless dragon veins converged, a place known as a haven for dragons and tigers.
A strange and ancient land, seemingly existing in another dimension, shrouded in endless purple aura and chaotic light, Qishi Mansion.
Inside an ancient hall that appears simple, yet every inch of its walls is imprinted with supreme Daoist patterns and displays unimaginable treasures.
An old man dressed in simple linen clothes, with a gaunt appearance, but whose eyes seemed to contain the birth and death of the universe.
They were quietly gazing at a floating mirror in front of them, its surface shimmering with runes like ripples on water.
The mirror clearly reflected a blurry image of Li Qingshan fighting a great battle outside the Holy City.
Behind the old man stood several figures, some with sharp auras, some with calm demeanor, and some with ethereal presence.
They were all respected elders in the Qishi Mansion.
" The Jade Pool Holy Son has already achieved the initial form of invincible power."
The old man in hemp robes spoke slowly, his voice calm yet carrying a profound sense of age and authority.
An elder of the manor pondered, "Manor Lord, such extraordinary talent, and so many heaven-defying opportunities."
Does this align with our government's newly launched "Seed" program?
The old man in hemp robes, who was also the current head of the Qishi Mansion, kept his gaze fixed on the blurry yet dazzling figure reflected in the mirror.
His fingertips tapped lightly on the table, producing a soft sound imbued with Daoist principles.
"A cycle of ten thousand years will pass, the Immortal Abode will open, and the Imperial Path will be restarted."
This Lifetime is destined to be filled with dazzling stars and extraordinary events.
Jade Pool has already shown its talent; its brilliance is hard to ignore.
He paused, then continued, "Add ' Li Qingshan ' to the list of people to be closely monitored."
The rank is tentatively set at A-level. "The arrangements for the invitation will be left to you."
"Yes, Lord."
The elders responded in unison, their gazes toward the mirror becoming more solemn.
The "Top Grade" rating is the highest within the Qishi Mansion.
The Qishi Mansion, detached from worldly affairs and not belonging to any power, serves as one of the reasons for its existence.
It is about recruiting and cultivating the most outstanding geniuses and prodigies in the entire Big Dipper and even the entire starry sky.
They were guided toward that cruelest yet most glorious path to the throne.
For the first time, Li Qingshan's name truly entered the field of vision of this mysterious and powerful organization.
In the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland, in the land of the Yan Kingdom, near the Lingxu Cave Heaven.
Ye Fan had just finished fighting a demonic beast, was recuperating in a mountain cave.
They also heard the seemingly unbelievable news from several high-level cultivators who were passing by.
" Li Qingshan, the Jade Pool Holy Son in the Holy City of the Northern Region, has shaken the world in a single battle!"
He defied the Mighty Figure and entered the Divine Forbidden.
To defeat the four most notorious killers in the Human World —my goodness, is this really something someone my age could do?
"I heard he's already at the Immortal One Realm before he's even twenty!"
The Immortal One game defied the Immortal Two and succeeded—it's practically a myth!
"We've cultivated diligently for hundreds of years, yet we're still struggling in the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm. It's truly a case of comparing ourselves to others to the point of death."
"I've heard that he might possess some ancient, innate constitution, destined to walk the path of invincibility!"
" Li Qingshan, this name will probably become famous throughout the Five Regions soon."
It has become a peak that all young people need to look up to!
Inside the cave, Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with extreme shock and astonishment.
Immediately, an overwhelming sense of joy and pride welled up inside me.
It almost made him burst out laughing, and the Source Stone in his hand nearly slipped from his grasp.
" Teacher Li!"
It really is him!
He murmured to himself, this time not with doubt, but with the excitement of confirmation.
That Earth was his teacher, and he protected him all the way with the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.
And he was a gentle man who gave these students, who had wandered far from home, their initial guidance and warmth.
The mentor he respected in his heart had actually done such an earth-shattering, legendary feat!
Reversing the Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure?
Stepping into the Divine Forbidden Domain?
Did he withstand the Assassin Divine Dynasty attack and even counterattack?
Any one of these things is crucial for someone still struggling at the Life Spring Realm.
For Ye Fan, who was constantly on the move for a few Source Stone, they were as distant as a myth from the Other Shore the starry sky.
The Immortal Platform Secret Realm was a realm he longed for but could never reach;
The Divine Forbidden Domain legendary place, elusive and difficult to find even in ancient texts;
The top assassins of the Assassin Divine Dynasty, any one of them could kill him countless times with a single breath.
The primary emotion filling Ye Fan's heart at this moment was not merely awe and a sense of distance, but also a feeling of pride and exhilaration!
"That's amazing! Teacher Li is incredibly talented!"
Ye Fan's eyes gleamed with excitement.
In this unfamiliar and dangerous Big Dipper Star Domain, I learned that a teacher from my homeland possessed such awe-inspiring strength.
This was like a shot in the arm for him as he walked alone.
This means they are not rootless drifters; at least one of their fellow villagers has already established himself on this land.
And standing so high!
This in itself is an invisible source of encouragement and confidence.
Teacher Li was able to accomplish such a feat with such overwhelming force and overwhelming momentum.
This not only reflects his personal talent and strength, but also gives Ye Fan a sense of inexplicable peace of mind and pride.
In the future, if I encounter trouble from those sacred places or aristocratic families while traveling, mentioning Teacher Li's name should deter them from making any rash moves.
Of course, after the excitement and pride, the stark reality of the huge gap also follows.
But this feeling is no longer just joy; it is also mixed with a strong sense of motivation.
Ye Fan clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white from the force, his heart churning with emotions.
He once thought that he possessed the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body and that as long as he worked hard, he could catch up step by step.
But at this moment, Li Qingshan's news stood before him like an invisible yet towering beacon.
That wasn't an insurmountable barrier, but a peak that he needed to look up to, challenge, and ultimately surpass!
The dust kicked up by the other party might represent the mountains he needs to overcome, but doesn't that just show how vast the road ahead is?
A complex smile appeared on Ye Fan's lips, a smile that contained shock, emotion, but even more so, a surge of fighting spirit ignited within him.
His eyes burned with a fierce flame, the excitement of seeing the lighthouse ahead.
It is an unyielding belief, a determination to reach the summit.
"The road ahead is long! I possess the Sacred Body; once the curse is broken, the world will be wide open!"
Teacher Li has shown us the heights we can reach in the future. I, Ye Fan, will definitely reach them, or even surpass them!
One day, I will make my name known under this vast starry sky.
Living up to the name of " Teacher Li "!
He buried this immense shock and joy, along with the pressure that had transformed into motivation, deep in his heart.
He knew that the road ahead was guided by the towering beacon that was Li Qingshan.
It appears clearer and more promising.
That heart, which pursues the pinnacle of power and explores the ultimate limits of life, thus becomes even more fervent, resolute, and full of hope.
Meanwhile, in places like Spirit Ruins Paradise, Ye Fan met with his classmates who had come to Big Dipper.
People like Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, and Wang Ziwen have also heard these rumors to varying degrees.
Zhou Yi was practicing his swordsmanship under a waterfall when he heard the news. His fine steel sword snapped in two with a "crack".
He was stunned at first, then his face showed an expression of disbelief mixed with a hint of joy. "It's Teacher Li! He actually, he's actually become this strong? Immortal Platform? Mighty Figure has defied the odds?"
He gazed northward, his heart surging with emotion, "That's wonderful! With Teacher Li here, we... we're not entirely without support under this starry sky!"
Lin Jia was collecting medicinal herbs in a flower valley when she heard the news and stood there stunned for a long time.
Her beautiful eyes first burst forth with an amazing light, a light that came from the bottom of her heart, filled with joy and pride.
It was as if someone very close to her had achieved such success.
"As expected, Teacher Li was never an ordinary person."
I just never imagined he would shine so brightly.
She murmured to herself, a gentle yet proud smile playing on her lips, "This is wonderful, truly wonderful."
She gripped the medicine basket tightly in her hand.
Wang Ziwen, Zhang Ziling, and others are the same.
Li Qingshan's brilliant achievements were like a boulder thrown into their calm lake, stirring up huge waves.
The first reaction was cheers and excitement after the news was confirmed to be true.
I am sincerely happy for the achievements of our teachers from Earth, as if they also share in Teacher Li's glory.
Following that comes the awe and envy of that unattainable realm.
And after having their understanding refreshed, they feel a longing and awe for the vast world and its infinite possibilities.
Li Qingshan's success has, in a way, lit a lamp for these "students".
Tell them that under this starry sky, even those from Earth can reach the summit!
At this moment, Li Qingshan, the instigator who personally created this storm that swept through the entire Big Dipper cultivation world, was present.
But they had long since distanced themselves from all the disturbances, praise, fears, and murderous intent.
He arrived at a secluded place in the Southern Region the Eastern Wasteland, a place no one could trace, and quietly went into seclusion.
He had made arrangements before arriving at this temporarily chosen retreat.
" Black Emperor." Li Qingshan stopped and looked at the Big Black Dog beside him, who was still rambling on about "spiritual brew" and "treasures left by our predecessors."
"Woof? Kid, have you changed your mind and are planning to settle the reward first?"
Black Emperor immediately moved closer, his dog eyes gleaming.
Li Qingshan ignored its joking remarks, and with a flick of his wrist, a jade bottle meticulously carved from black jade appeared in his palm.
The moment the jade bottle appeared, the surrounding air seemed to become fresh and invigorating.
A unique fragrance, refreshing and invigorating, filled the air, imbued with boundless vitality and a sense of sacredness.
Inside the jade bottle, a drop of crimson liquid, as red as a blood diamond yet flowing with iridescent light, slowly rolled.
A faint phantom of Divine Phoenix lingered around it, emitting a faint, clear cry.
"This is... the essence of a miraculous medicine?"
No, this aura... it's the Divine Phoenix Immortal Medicine! Kid, you...
Black Emperor's dog eyes widened instantly, drool almost dripping from his mouth, staring intently at the jade bottle, wishing he could swallow it whole.
"This is a drop of the Divine Phoenix Immortal Medicine, and I give it to you."
Li Qingshan said calmly, "However, I need you to do something for me."
"Woof! What is it?"
I would gladly face any danger, even going through fire and water!
The Black Emperor patted his chest in assurance, but his eyes never left the jade bottle.
"My seclusion this time is of great importance and cannot be disturbed in any way. Having you by my side would only be inconvenient."
Li Qingshan looked at it and said, "I want you to take this drop of precious liquid to the Yan Kingdom in the Southern Region the Eastern Wasteland."
I found those students from my hometown that I mentioned to you before, especially that boy named Ye Fan.
They are new to the world of cultivation and their foundation is still shallow, so please teach them for me for a period of time.
Guide them to lay a solid foundation so they can face the challenges ahead.
This drop of precious elixir is both your reward and, in a crucial moment, it can help them overcome difficulties.
He paused, then added, "Ye Fan possesses a special physique and a resilient character; you and he should get along well."
Upon hearing this, Black Emperor's dog face first showed a "That's it?" expression.
Teaching a few junior cultivators from the Bitter Sea Life Spring was an utterly effortless task for it.
But upon hearing Li Qingshan's last meaningful remark, and glancing at that extremely tempting drop of Divine Phoenix Precious Liquid, he realized...
His eyes darted around, and he immediately adopted a solemn expression as if a heavy responsibility was on his shoulders. "Woof! I understand! You are temporarily entrusting me with the important task of passing on the lineage!"
Rest assured! Teaching disciples, especially discovering hidden gems, is my forte!
It will definitely transform those kids, and that Ye Fan, completely!
You can go into seclusion in peace!
It stood up on its hind legs, carefully took the jade bottle with its paws, and quickly put it away as if it were a priceless treasure.
"Without further ado, I shall depart now! I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"
Black Emperor was unusually decisive, waving its claws at Li Qingshan.
Dark light flashed beneath his feet as he used a secret technique, transforming into a streak of light and speeding towards the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland without looking back, as if afraid that Li Qingshan would change his mind.
After sending the Black Emperor away, Li Qingshan finally calmed down.
Before officially entering deep seclusion, he took out a piece of Jade Pool Secret Jade, which was warm and translucent and imprinted with some of the Daoist patterns of the Queen Mother of the West, in the cave he had temporarily set up.
This jade is connected to his core identity token, and only he himself can activate it with his unique bloodline aura and the secret techniques of Jade Pool.
This is for core disciples of Jade Pool when they encounter an emergency or need to remain in hiding for an extended period of time.
The highest-level channel for conveying brief messages to the Holy Land.
He channeled a gentle and pure Immortal Platform power from his fingertips, mixed with a trace of his unique Innate Dao Embryo aura, and slowly poured it into the secret jade.
The patterns on the jade disc lit up one by one, emitting a hazy, clear glow.
Li Qingshan immersed his divine sense in the battle, without going into too much detail about the battle. He simply condensed an extremely refined divine thought, "The powerful enemy has been slain, the assassin has been eliminated, Qingshan is unharmed. I have gained some insights, but I need to go into seclusion to meditate."
My return date is uncertain, please don't worry.
At the end of the message, a unique, hidden mark representing "safety" and "enlightenment" was left behind, imbued with the essence of Daoism.
As soon as he had a thought, the secret jade shone brightly, then subsided.
The divine information contained within it has already traveled across the endless Void, following a special connection with the Jade Pool Mother Array.
Having done all this, he waved his hand to set up several layers of concealment and protection barriers, and put away the jade that had temporarily exhausted its power and become slightly dim.
In this way, when the higher-ups of Jade Pool receive the message, they will know that he is safe and sound.
Moreover, he was at a crucial stage of enlightenment, thus avoiding unnecessary worries and large-scale searches that might have been caused by his prolonged absence.
It can also reassure the sect and help them deal with the various disturbances that may arise from the outcome of this battle.
After dealing with these last trivial matters, Li Qingshan finally calmed down completely.
He sat cross-legged on a futon in the center of the cave, his eyes slowly closing.
Next, he needs to fully immerse himself in and quietly digest all the gains from these consecutive battles.
Especially the profound and indescribable sense of enlightenment gained upon entering the Divine Forbidden Domain.
A deeper understanding of the origin of the Five Elements when using the Five-Colored Divine Light, a great innate supernatural power.
And the fleeting, almost ephemeral, impact on the principles of life and death when the power of Nirvana is invoked.
He intends to carefully sort through and integrate these valuable insights and fragments of principles.
To further refine one's own methods and hone and adjust one's own state to an unprecedented peak of perfection.
