Chapter 55 - 55: Boundless Plane
The rain had changed the world.
All the cultivators in the Human World could sense that the world from 3,000 years ago had returned.
The patriarchs of the various sects, the cultivators from thousands of years ago, and the geniuses who had reached the end of their lives breathed in the Spiritual Qi of the new world to their hearts’ content to improve themselves.
In the Patriarchs’ Forbidden Land of the Heavenly Path Sect, all the patriarchs stuck in the Human World Pass for 3,000 years were buried there.
There were many graves of geniuses.
Heavenly Path Sect’s patriarchs who had reached the end of their lives would go there, choose a grave for themselves, and then try one last time to break through the Human World Pass.
If they failed, they would be buried on the spot.
Some old team leaders of the Heavenly Path Sect also buried themselves there at the end of their lives.
In the dark, narrow coffins, there were patriarchs of the Heavenly Path Sect holding their last breath, waiting for their deaths.
To them, the world was very unfair.
Those who could enter that mausoleum were all geniuses when they were alive. They had already broken through to the Ninth Heaven Great Venerable and reached the peak of the Human World before 100 years old. However, they had to face a broken road in the remaining years ahead.
If they walked forward, they would die.
If they didn’t, they would cowardly live for a thousand years more.
How sad was that?
Even though more than a dozen patriarchs of the Heavenly Path Sect were trying their best to break through, many people were still unconfident.
They were just doing their best and leaving things to fate.
However, the rain and wind from the previous night instantly covered the Human World with the Great World Path from 3,000 years ago.
The Heavenly Path Sect’s patriarchs, who were making a breakthrough, were trembling with excitement. Feeling the extremely dense Spiritual Qi in the world, they breathed in heavily and circulated their True Qi crazily. They saw that the broken cultivation path had been repaired.
The patriarchs who were lying in their coffins and waiting for death also opened their eyes in surprise. They crawled out shakily, cheering and dancing in the wind. They were as excited as children.
That wind and that rain brought them no less than a new life.
“The Saint Plane is within reach.” Some elders had tears as they reached out to touch the Great Path between Heaven and Earth. The obscure Human World Great Path that they loved and hated was now like a Goddess whom they had loved for a long time. It had been unveiled and was lying on the bed, waiting for their use.
The Saint Plane, which was far away, suddenly appeared before them. They could cross over as long as they put in a little effort.
At that moment, no one thought about anything else. Everyone was working hard to break through to the Saint Plane.
Because of Li Qingshan’s sword slash, the entire cultivation world became extremely peaceful. All disputes and wars stopped on that day.
Until someone truly broke through to the Saint Plane.
On the Repentance Cliff in Yuhua Sect, Li Qingshan went to sleep after he had released that sword slash the previous night.
Early in the morning, purple energy spread 3,000 miles in the sky above Yuhua Sect. Countless people cheered for the wisdom Sect Leader.
Li Qingshan got up from his bed and took a closer look. It turned out that Little Nine had broken through to the Saint Plane in the rain the previous night.
When a Saint descended to the world, a strange phenomenon would appear in the sky, and purple energy would spread 3,000 miles.
At that moment, everyone in the cultivation world knew.
“Why didn’t I have it when I broke through?” Seeing that scene, Li Qingshan fell into self-doubt.
After he released his sword slash the previous night, he had already successfully broken through to the Saint Plane when the World Spiritual Qi descended.
But he didn’t have the strange phenomenon appearance nor the purple energy spreading 3,000 miles away.
After a simple wash, Li Qingshan came to the edge of the Repentance Cliff. Looking at the countless mountains and rivers, rolling and steaming white clouds before him, he had an idea.
He took a step forward and fell from the cliff.
He fell into the depths of the sea of clouds.
In the next second, a huge Kun Peng spread its wings and flew, appearing above the clouds.
That was the Kun Peng Precious Technique.
After ten years, Li Qingshan finally finished improving his meridians and root bones. He could transform into a Kun Peng and travel the Nine Heavens.
Kun Peng had the fastest speed in the world. Now, Li Qingshan could travel hundreds of miles in a minute. He could fly across multiple mountains and hills, easily touring the entire world in a day.
Soaring freely in the clouds, Li Qingshan spread his Divine Sense into the world. He discovered a few other elders, about 2,000 years old, who had also broken through to the Saint Plane after Little Nine.
Similarly, they did not experience the purple energy spreading 3,000 miles.
Seeing that, Li Qingshan understood.
After he broke the ancient formation and subsequently broke through the previous night, he was not perceived by Heaven and Earth. Little Nine was the first Saint to break through after Li Qingshan that day. Heaven and Earth sensed it and produced a strange phenomenon.
People who subsequently broke through to the Saint Plane would not experience that phenomenon of purple energy spreading 3,000 miles.
Li Qingshan transformed into the Kun Peng and flew freely between Heaven and Earth for a while before returning to the Repentance Cliff.
He continued to live his life.
The storms in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Li Qingshan first went to Yuhua Sect’s Library. He took some books regarding the planes beyond the Saint Plane and studied them carefully. What was beyond the Saint Plane? Li Qingshan knew nothing.
Li Qingshan returned to the Repentance Cliff with some books about the Saint Plane. He did not wipe the stele that day but studied the books carefully.
The surroundings of the bamboo hut were clean and spotless. The small bridge and flowing water were filled with Zen. The water in the river was also clean and clear, with fish swimming freely in it.
Not far away, the flowers in the garden were also blooming beautifully. The fragrance assailed the nose, and they were colorful.
The sea of bamboo next door fluttered in the breeze and was green.
Li Qingshan was dressed in white. With thick brows and bright eyes, he was a handsome young man with a solitary temperament. He sat calmly on the chair with a strong, brimming presence.
Li Qingshan, who was already a Saint, was at the top of the world.
However, he wasn’t arrogant. He did not know how dangerous the road ahead would be, so he had always been humble and studied seriously.
In the small courtyard in front of the bamboo hut, Li Qingshan took out a tea set, boiled tea, and washed tea, doing all those in an orderly manner.
After making a cup of tea, he opened a book.
The book recorded some knowledge about the Saint Plane.
Such a book had not been read for many years and was covered in dust in the Library. Li Qingshan opened it and read it silently.
After flipping through a few books, he finally had some understanding of the Saint Plane.
“The Saint Plane is a cultivation plane that differentiates cultivators from mortals. Before they become Saints, cultivators can only roam the Human World. After they become Saints, cultivators have the chance to be closer to the traces of Immortals.” Li Qingshan closed the book and muttered to himself.
He looked into the distance and pondered silently.
“The Saint Plane is divided into several levels: Boundless, Ultimate, and Nirvana.”
“Boundless means Boundless Primordial Spirit, Boundless True Qi, and Boundless Path Techniques.”
“Only after reaching the Boundless Plane can one reach the Ultimate Plane. In the Ultimate Plane, the cultivator will comprehend the phenomenon of Heaven and Earth and fuse it into his body. He will then enter the final plane,
Nirvana.”
“The Nirvana Plane represents the peak combat strength of the Human World.
Above Nirvana, one should be nearing the Immortal.”
Li Qingshan had a deep gaze as he pondered silently. Then, his expression became strange, “According to that book’s introduction, I seem to have achieved the Boundless Primordial Spirit, Boundless True Qi, and Boundless
Path Techniques.”
After ten years of accumulation, with his talent of forest-like root bones and his Maxed-Level Comprehension skill, Li Qingshan had met the three requirements for the Boundless Plane after his breakthrough the previous night.
“That is equivalent to saying that I broke through the Saint Plane last night and have entered the Boundless Plane.” It was only at that moment that Li Qingshan finally understood his combat strength.
“Therefore, I will continue to cultivate in silence and reach the Nirvana Plane as soon as possible to see if I can get near the Immortal Plane..”
