Chapter 178 The Supreme Path Appears!

A millennium had passed, and everyone had significantly improved, especially Xia Wuji, who had inherited the Kunlun Immortal’s legacy. He had now surpassed the Kunlun Immortal.

Everyone was waiting for the Supreme Path.

This world could no longer allow them to advance further.

“Time flows like water. Back in the days when we were on the Dimensional Battlefield, who could have imagined where we are now?” Xia Wuji laughed and said.

“Back then, we thought immortals were already incredible, but now, everyone wants to leave this universe,” Immortal Northstar said with deep emotion.

“In my previous life, I didn’t have many friends. On the path of cultivation, those I met left one by one. The Path of Immortality was cold and harsh, and those who reached the end were often alone. But in this life, I’ve met all of you, from the Human World to the Immortal Plane. This friendship is what I cherish the most,” Immortal Northstar said emotionally.

“Although the Path of Immortality is harsh, we warm each other along the way, climbing one peak after another. Looking to the future, I hope we can all meet again in the Six Equal Universes,” Li Qingshan said with a smile.

“Of course. Although you, Li Qingshan, are very powerful, we won’t be left too far behind,” Xia Wuji said confidently.

“It’s a pity that the Heavenly Emperor is nowhere to be seen. Otherwise, we would have been perfect,” Immortal Northstar said regretfully.

“The Heavenly Emperor is not inferior to us. She has her own opportunities. I believe we will see her again in the future,” Li Qingshan said firmly.

“Either your Heavenly Emperor is dead, or she is not in this universe,” Demon Frog suddenly said, listening from the side.

Everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions.

“Think about it. In the previous Starry Sky war, such a huge event involved both the Immortal Plane and the Fourth World. Everyone knew about it. In such a situation, if the Heavenly Emperor hasn’t appeared, doesn’t that mean she is either dead or not in this universe?” Demon Frog explained.

“You said we can’t enter the Six Equal Universes through any other means besides the Supreme Path?” Li Qingshan asked calmly.

“Yes, there’s no other way. But I also said that if you have an elder in the Six Equal Universes who can set up a grand array to guide you, you could go,” Demon Frog said, spreading his hands.

Xia Wuji was stunned. “Could the Heavenly Emperor really have such a powerful background?”

“The Heavenly Emperor’s background is simple. She came from the Human World and rose step by step. How could she be connected to the Six Equal Universes?” Immortal Northstar was also taken aback.

“But the Heavenly Emperor Sister has never explained how she obtained the Gate of Xuanpin, only mentioning an inheritance,” Little Nine said, confused.

Li Qingshan pondered. He didn’t believe the Heavenly Emperor was dead.

He knew the Heavenly Emperor’s character well. She was always strategic and rarely impulsive. With the Gate of Xuanpin’s help, she wouldn’t fall so easily.

He believed Demon Frog’s words.

The Heavenly Emperor hadn’t fallen; she had just left this Human World Universe.

“Alright, I believe the Heavenly Emperor has entered the Six Equal Universes. If so, we will see her again, not in the Human World, but in a higher universe,” Li Qingshan said with a smile, ending the topic.

“Since the Supreme Path will appear in this life, I want to go out and travel, see this Human World Immortal Plane, and return to my homeland once more, engraving these memories in my mind,” Xia Wuji said and stood up.

“I also want to do some things I haven’t done before. I’ll leave first,” Immortal Northstar said and also stood. He had some personal matters to attend to.

Seeing this, Demon Frog stood up too. “I also want to leave. There are many good foods in this Immortal Plane that I want to spend a lifetime savoring.”

Li Qingshan nodded and said, “Then I won’t see you off.”

One by one, they left. Li Qingshan looked at A’wei and the others. “Are you leaving too?”

“Sir is about to enter the Supreme Path in this life. I want to stay by your side and learn from you, not leave.” A’wei shook his head. Li Qingshan was now a Venerable. Listening to a Venerable’s guidance was a rare opportunity, and with Li Qingshan about to leave in this life, he had to seize the time.

“Alright, I will guide you well in this life and leave you a chance to break through to Venerable. I hope you can protect Little Nine and the others in the future,” Li Qingshan said softly to A’wei.

He had always approved of A’wei’s talent.

In the Human World, A’wei had once encountered danger due to his talent, which Li Qingshan helped resolve.

As Li Qingshan improved, A’wei struggled to keep up but never fell behind, following in Li Qingshan’s footsteps and continuously progressing. Though Li Qingshan took care of him, A’wei’s own talent was undeniable.

A’wei was more talented than Little Nine.

Now, with Li Qingshan’s guidance, he had entered the Emperor Realm and had a good chance of breaking through to Venerable.

A’wei nodded firmly. “Rest assured, sir. As long as I am alive, Little Nine and the others will not be in any danger.”

Li Qingshan patted his shoulder, very satisfied.

With Xia Wuji, Immortal Northstar, and Demon Frog leaving, the village became much quieter.

Usually, Li Qingshan guided A’wei and the five ghosts in their cultivation. Little Nine sometimes came to listen and sometimes played with Hua Yun and the others.

Between the vast sky and the boundless earth, flocks and herds appear as grass bends to wind.

In the scenic Western Lands, Little Nine and Hua Yun’s laughter echoed.

Time slowly passed.

A lifetime was but a century.

To cultivators, a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

For Li Qingshan, this century and the past millennium were the most leisurely days of his life.

He didn’t force himself to cultivate, had no strong enemies, no schemes. There was only mutual watchfulness with family.

He often cultivated alone, spent time with Hua Yun, and played with the little fox, slowly passing the time.

A century in this life was nearing its end.

Li Qingshan’s power had also reached the Venerable Completion Realm.

Because this period was very leisurely, his maxed-level comprehension skill wasn’t triggered much, and most of his progress came from his own understanding.

After breaking through to the peak of Venerable, Li Qingshan often gazed at the starry sky, feeling an invisible shackle in the universe.

This shackle wasn’t on the universe but on Li Qingshan, preventing him from stepping beyond the peak of Venerable.

“I’ve really reached the end,” Li Qingshan sighed softly.

At this moment, he and Shi Tian from back then were in the same predicament.

If the universe allowed a breakthrough, Li Qingshan and Shi Tian would undoubtedly step beyond the Venerable Realm into the next realm.

“Recently, there have often been booming sounds from the depths of the universe, the sound of the Great Path. It seems Monk Wu’o was right, and the Supreme Path is about to appear,” Li Qingshan said leisurely, sitting in a chair in the village, gazing at the starry sky.

Time flowed like water.

Recently, Li Qingshan heard that in the Western Lands, the reincarnated Buddha of Mount Sumeru had passed away, his body cremated, and relics left behind.

Li Qingshan knew this meant Monk Wu’o had completed his life as a prophet and chosen to retreat.

This further indicated that the Supreme Path was about to appear.

In this lifetime of a hundred years, Li Qingshan had taught A’wei and the others everything he needed to. Now, he had no attachments, just waiting for the Supreme Path to appear.

As Li Qingshan gazed at the starry sky, the usually quiet and unchanged starry sky for hundreds or even thousands of years began to shake.

Thump, thump, thump!

The vibrations destroyed countless stars, like the sound of an intense drumbeat, striking everyone’s hearts, making those above the Emperor realm’s hearts tremble and beat violently.

Everyone in the Human World Immortal Plane above the Emperor Realm suddenly opened their eyes, looking toward the depths of the starry sky, their faces showing excitement.

The Supreme Path had descended.
