Chapter 145 - 145: 6,436! (3)
“If this were true, too many people died in that great battle.” Li Qingshan gulped.
He looked into the distance, where a scavenger was completely unfazed, focused on searching for treasures.
Li Qingshan still felt a lingering effect as he began to venture deeper, passing through the edge of the central battlefield.
The edge area, picked clean by scavengers, was eerily calm. Li Qingshan couldn’t spot anything, making him suspect whether this place had been thoroughly plundered.
As he continued deeper, the pressure increased significantly. The group leader just now had not lied. Li Qingshan truly felt the weight.
It was as if the air was being compressed, and the space itself was shrinking. A colossal pressure pressed in from all directions, making breathing difficult and instilling a sense of despair, an unstoppable force. Of course, this pressure was negligible for him.
However, this wasn’t even the core area.
Li Qingshan walked along the battlefield, persistently moving deeper without pause. Finally, under the pressure that not even Human World Immortals could endure, he saw a colossal, towering rock lodged in the heart of the central battlefield.
Upon closer inspection, the massive rock, piercing through the clouds, resembled a sword.
Li Qingshan, at a distance, could see the sword due to its immense size. Through the misty clouds, the giant sword descended, rumored to be suppressing a woman underneath, ensuring eternal life without the possibility of reincarnation.
Li Qingshan, unfazed, didn’t rush to approach. Withstanding the pressure that could instantly incapacitate a Human World Immortal, he advanced steadily. In this area, Li Qingshan observed numerous damaged weapons and steles.
Yes, Li Qingshan saw a stele.
After all, he was particularly sensitive to these objects, considering his involvement with steles over the past few decades.
As Li Qingshan got closer, he realized the steles had no inscriptions. They looked like it from a distance, but upon closer examination, they were just ordinary stones.
Li Qingshan shook his head and picked up a broken long saber. With a flick of his finger, the saber crumbled into fragments.
“The power of time,” Li Qingshan remarked.
He continued his journey forward.
The pressure continued to intensify.
Even the Ascension Immortal couldn’t resist and was unable to advance.
Li Qingshan could only frown at the pressure. Looking at the distant enormous sword, he felt as if he were running to his death.
“With such great pressure, it seems that no one can get close to that giant sword,” Li Qingshan muttered.
That giant sword seemed to be deliberately attracting people over. In the end, they realized they could not get close.
“I’m currently in the Wanderer cultivation plane. I can continue walking.” Li Qingshan continued to move forward. He wanted to investigate the matter of the Undying Holy Buddha.
The pressure continued to increase.
Gradually, it reached a level where even the Wanderer cultivation plane could not resist it.
Li Qingshan frowned, but his steps were firm as he walked forward.
He was not an ordinary person with a Wanderer cultivation plane.
He could still hold on, but looking at the huge sword in the distance, Li Qingshan shook his head helplessly.
It seemed very difficult to approach.
Just as Li Qingshan was in despair, he saw a stele in front of him.
Li Qingshan thought he had seen it wrongly. After all, he had seen wrongly once just now.
He observed it carefully.
In the next second, his mouth was wide open in surprise and joy.
A stele!
This time, it wasn’t fake. Moreover, it wasn’t just one piece. There were many pieces hidden in a mountain valley.
“Why are there so many styles here?” Li Qingshan withstood the pressure and approached the col. After he walked in, he saw that there were thousands of steles around the corner.
There were no words on these steles, and they were very simple. However, they were inserted into the ground one after another. At a glance, it seemed that thousands of people were buried underground.
Li Qingshan approached the first piece and saw that it was covered in dust.
He couldn’t help but laugh and self-deprecatingly said, “I really can’t get away from the steles.
Li Qingshan took out cleaning tools from his storage space and began wiping the stele carefully.
Perhaps it was an occupational habit.
Or maybe he wanted to try and see if he could activate his maxed-level comprehension skill.
Or perhaps, he simply wanted to give those who died in battle a sense of dignity.
Li Qingshan didn’t know which one was his true intention.
Maybe it was both.
He wiped the stele earnestly, cleaning it thoroughly.
The nameless stele, once covered in dust, now looked clean.
At that moment, Li Qingshan felt as if he had just washed a senior’s face.
He chuckled and glanced at his unactivated maxed-level comprehension skill, shrugging as he planned to move on to the second one.
Just as he turned around, a line of words appeared before his eyes.
[By carefully wiping, you have activated the maxed-level comprehension skill and obtained the inheritance of the Undying Holy Buddha!]
Li Qingshan stared at it blankly. Then, he turned back to the now clean and reflective stele, taking a deep breath.
This turned out to be the stele of the Undying Holy Buddha.
Li Qingshan couldn’t help but wonder if this stele meant that the Undying Holy Buddha had already passed away.
“Let’s check the inheritance first.” Li Qingshan immediately closed his eyes, and a massive chunk of memories flooded into his mind.
These memories were immense, pulling Li Qingshan into a dream.
In the dream, battle cries and clangs filled his ears. Li Qingshan heard the voices of countless people.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself on a battlefield.
Countless individuals were engaged in combat.
Their faces were somewhat blurry, making it difficult for Li Qingshan to see them.
Yet, he could see the golden Buddha most distinctly.
The golden Buddha was currently single-handedly facing three opponents.
The three of them emitted terrifying energy from all over their bodies. They isolated themselves from the outside world and formed an independent world..
