Chapter 195 - 195: Celestial Court Academy (1)
After General Bai left, Li Qingshan fell into contemplation.
“Are there really two similar flowers in the world?”
After death, there was no resurrection. Unless they were like Immortal Northstar, who had set up a backup plan in advance, they could reincarnate and cultivate again.
However, he was also a minority. Most people couldn’t succeed.
Therefore, even if an Immortal died, so be it.
For example, the Changsheng Emperor of the South of the Celestial Court was an Emperor, but he fell under the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and never appeared again.
It could be seen that resurrection is indeed very difficult.
Therefore, some people wonder if one cannot be resurrected, can they still live a life similar to their previous one?
Being reincarnated into a new person, but still bearing many similarities to their past self.
This is a concept proposed by Buddhist sects. General Bai believed that Li Qingshan and his Big Brother were similar flowers. That was why he treated Li Qingshan so well to make up for his regrets in the past.
However, Li Qingshan knew that he wasn’t the same flower.
“I don’t care if I’m the flower or not. I’m very grateful to General Bai for helping me leave the battlefield of the Emperor’s Pass and sending me to the Celestial Court Academy for a semester.” Li Qingshan didn’t want to dwell on it anymore, it gave him a headache, and he had no answers. He was sure he had benefited.
In the future, when he became stronger, he would repay General Bai.
“Continue cultivating. I hope I can break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm before I leave the Emperor’s Pass battlefield.” Li Qingshan worked hard and secretly looked forward to it.
Li Qingshan didn’t waste a moment of time and dedicated himself wholeheartedly to improving himself.
The turmoil outside had little to do with Li Qingshan. The Celestial Lord of the Celestial Court had come to negotiate with the allied forces of the three clans.
Li Qingshan didn’t know whether they would fight or reconcile.
Another seven days passed. The 23rd Emperor’s Pass was very quiet. There was no storm like before the war. Li Qingshan didn’t hear any movement, which meant that everything was very quiet.
In the mansion, he listened to the wind and rain at night. The energy in his body surged and flooded like a huge wave hitting the barrier of the Earthly Immortal Realm, but he couldn’t break it.
Li Qingshan and the Earthly Immortal Realm were still a bit apart.
It was as if he was just a step away, right in front of his eyes. He could reach out and touch it, but he couldn’t take that step to embrace it.
Li Qingshan opened his eyes and looked at the moon outside the window. It was a full moon with many stars. It was very beautiful. He felt a little depressed that he still couldn’t break through. He pushed the door open and walked out. Under the moonlight, Li Qingshan poured a cup of tea and strolled leisurely with the teacup in his hand.
He was relaxing.
When he was alone, he held a cup of tea and looked at the night sky, the moon, and the twinkling stars.
He calmed his restless heart.
Breakthrough, he just had to let nature take its course.
Li Qingshan slowly calmed his restless heart, and the cup of tea was finished. Just as he was about to pour another cup, General Bai came.
This time, General Bai was dressed in casual clothes. He wasn’t wearing any armor, and he didn’t have the violent temperament of a battlefield. He was as calm as a scholar. When he saw Li Qingshan admiring the moon, he laughed and said, “What a refined mood.”
When Li Qingshan saw General Bai, he immediately went to make tea. His movements were skillful and graceful. He brewed a cup of tea and handed it to General Bai. He said, “General, you seem to be in a good mood today.”
General Bai nodded and took the teacup. He sipped the tea and said, “In the past seven days, there has been good progress in negotiations between the Celestial Lord and the allied forces of the three clans. The opposing side has started to retreat.”
Li Qingshan was delighted as he said, “That is indeed worth celebrating. What price did the Celestial Lord pay?”
General Bai pondered and said, “It should be a little, but not too much. After all, the defensive battles in the Emperor’s Pass are fought at intervals. However, in the past, it was always an independent clan battle. In the past ten thousand years, there has never been an alliance of the three clans.”
“Does that mean I can leave now?” Li Qingshan asked.
“Yes, I’ve applied for the qualification to study in the Celestial Court Academy for you. You can go there for a semester for five years. During these five years, the resources of the Celestial Court Academy will be provided to you.” General Bai nodded and handed a document to Li Qingshan.
“This is the certificate of your enrollment in the Celestial Court Academy. When you go to report, just show this and your military identification card, and you’ll be all set,” General Bai said.
Li Qingshan took it and opened it. It was an admission letter from the Celestial Court Academy. His name, Li Qingshan, was written on it.
“Take this card as well. There are 150,000 Immortal Crystals inside. It’s the reward you obtained from killing enemies before. It will come in handy when you go to the Celestial Court Academy.” General Bai handed Li Qingshan a familiar card.
The card of the Celestial Court Royal Bank.
Just like before, it was a purple card.
“Thank you, General!” Li Qingshan said gratefully as he kept his things.
General Bai smiled and said, “No need to thank me. You must remember that the Celestial Court Academy has many secret books and powerful elders who can give you a lot of guidance. Your talent is impressive, but there are many obstacles in the Immortal Realm. You must learn to be humble and study seriously as a student.”
Li Qingshan nodded solemnly as he listened to General Bai’s patient advice and said, “General Bai, I wonder if I can call you Big Brother.”
General Bai was taken aback and his words suddenly stopped. He looked at Li Qingshan with a complicated expression.
Li Qingshan asked in confusion, “Can’t I?”
General Bai chuckled and said, “Sure, why not? I just suddenly remembered that I was the same as you back then. I had the same tone and the same question.”
“Well, it seems we really have a strong affinity.” Li Qingshan smiled..
