Chapter 118 - 118: Out of Seclusion
It didn’t matter if he failed. He would start over immediately.
It didn’t matter if the three Swordsmanship styles stubbornly refused to merge with one another. Li Qingshan’s persistence prevailed over their repeated failed fusion.
With the three Swordsmanships’ qi merged together, Li Qingshan completed a magnificent feat.
He had combined three basic Human World Paths together. The power that erupted from the fusion was not the simple effect of one plus one plus one equals three.
Li Qingshan’s primordial spirit had also increased by one-third because he had fused with the three ordinary Human World Paths.
His cultivation plane had reached the peak of the Human World Immortal.
However, there was no feeling of a breakthrough.
Li Qingshan was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
He now had two fused Great Paths.
The first was the basic Human World Path, involving the combination of the
Fast Path of Sword, the Slow Path of Sword, and the Quick Kill Swordsmanship.
The second was the mysterious Human World Path, involving the fusion of a combination of Spatial Imprisonment and Spatial Rend with Spatial Storm.
The rest were superficial, such as the four Great Paths that included Buddhist sects, Path of Speed, Path of Thunder, and Path of Time.
“Only four months have passed out of my one year. I still have eight more months for comprehension. I’ll take it slow.” Li Qingshan was not in a hurry. He continued to take out the Path records he had bought and comprehended them.
Some Path records could allow one to comprehend the Great Path, while others were too damaged to be comprehended.
It was like opening a blind box.
Li Qingshan didn’t give up. He was fully focused on comprehending every Path record he bought.
Time passed slowly again.
Ever since he left the house, Li Qingshan had never stepped out of the courtyard.
He was immersed in the beauty of cultivation and could not extricate himself.
Li Qingshan was seriously comprehending the over one hundred Path records that he had bought.
Some were useful, some were useless.
“Your serious comprehension activated Maxed -Level Comprehension, and you’ve activated the Path of Thunder!”
“Your serious comprehension activated Maxed -Level Comprehension, and you’ve activated the Gold -Clad Buddhist sects!”
“Your serious comprehension activated Maxed -Level Comprehension, and you’ve activated the Rapid Great Path!”
Li Qingshan worked tirelessly and diligently.
Upon comprehending the Rapid Great Path on the basic Human World Path, he added the Rapid Great Path into the Kun Peng Precious Technique, and Li Qingshan’s speed had been greatly improved.
A year passed, and the two or three scouts who had been guarding the entrance of the small courtyard were all gone.
After a year, if Li Qingshan didn’t come out, no one would keep an eye on the door.
As long as they guarded the exit of Wei City, they would know that Li Qingshan had left.
Over the past year, Li Qingshan had made great progress. In terms of the Great Path, he had pushed forward with all his might and achieved unimaginable success.
Although his cultivation was still at the peak of the Human World Immortal, he was not the same Li Qingshan a year ago.
One day, Li Qingshan woke up from his seclusion and looked at the sky.
“One year is almost up. I should go take a look at the Dimensional Battlefield. I can’t stay in Wei City forever.” Li Qingshan stood up with a calm demeanor. A
mysterious aura lingered around him. It was because he had comprehended enough Great Path, which made him look even more mysterious.
Li Qingshan washed up, removed the dust on his body, and changed into a white robe. His black hair was tied up with a rope behind his back. In his body, the five Immortal Swords had formed a weak connection with him after a year of nurturing.
The five Immortal Swords did not have names. Perhaps they once had names, but when they were in Li Qingshan’s hands, they had been placed in his core to be nurtured and have a special connection developed between them. Until today, Li Qingshan had not given them new names.
After all, Li Qingshan hadn’t made a single move in the past year.
The swords were sharpened and awaiting its next target at which to strike.
Li Qingshan packed his things and pushed open the door of the small courtyard.
That was the second time in a year that he had stepped out of his small courtyard.
Li Qingshan didn’t notice that someone was watching him. He walked toward the gate of Wei City calmly.
He wanted to head for Chang’an.
At the gate of Wei City, Li Qingshan’s friend, Long Tao, was on duty. When he saw Li Qingshan, Long Tao came to a realization. “One year is up.” Li Qingshan nodded. “One year is up. I want to go to Chang’an.”
“Go. Be careful on the way,” Long Tao looked at Li Qingshan and said in a slightly serious tone.
“Got it.” Li Qingshan nodded in agreement and walked out of the city gate.
After Li Qingshan stepped out of the city gate, he suddenly turned to Long Tao and asked with a smile, “You guys don’t care about any killings outside, do you?”
Long Tao was stunned. Looking at Li Qingshan’s smile, he felt a little creeped out.
“It’s not our place to care about everything outside,” Long Tao came back to his senses and answered immediately.
Li Qingshan nodded slightly and turned around to walk out of the city gate. I’m
relieved.”
“What?” Long Tao blinked when he heard that. He looked at Li Qingshan’s back as he left. “You’re not thinking of catching them all, are you?” he murmured in disbelief.
Just as Long Tao finished speaking, a dozen cultivator silhouettes appeared at the city gate and quickly left the city, following closely behind Li Qingshan.
Long Tao let out a long breath and said, “I hope you… have a safe journey.”
Li Qingshan didn’t go far after leaving Wei City.
Outside Wei City, there was a big river with surging waves. It was called Wei River. Wei City got its name from the river.
Beside the Wei River, there was green grass and a strange rock. Li Qingshan calmly sat on it, watching the Wei River running. After a while, more than ten people chased after him.
There were old and young.
Without exception, they all looked at Li Qingshan with unfriendly expressions..
