Chapter 267 - 267: Six Paths of Samsara (1)
The Immortal Plane, the East Continent.
The Celestial Court governed the most abundant and prosperous regions in the Immortal Plane. There were four regions, and the East Continent was one of them.
East Continent, Western Ridge, Southern Domain, Northern Territory.
These four regions were extremely large. Ordinary Immortals could possibly travel back and forth throughout their lifetime.
Other than these four core regions, other worlds were affiliated with the Immortal Plane. Worlds like the Human World were all ruled by the Celestial Court.
At its peak, the Celestial Court almost ruled the entire Immortal Plane. However, it slowly declined. Now only these four regions remained.
However, the four regions weren’t peaceful either. Many regions were in chaos. The rule of the Celestial Court had declined a lot and couldn’t control such a large area.
Of course, the East Continent was slightly better. After all, the Celestial Court’s headquarters was located on the East Continent.
The East Continent was vast and had many races. There were countless mountains and some paradisiacal places.
While the Immortal Plane had a large population, not all were Immortals.
Some people were born with poor talent. Even in the Immortal Plane, they absorbed Immortal Energy and nourished their bodies. Their innate conditions were very good, but they couldn’t break through to the Immortal Realm in their entire lives.
These people couldn’t live in big cities. After all, the Immortal Plane was big and it wasn’t easy to live there. Therefore, they settled in the wilderness, mountains, and other picturesque places, establishing small villages that gradually developed into towns or small clan-based settlements.
Immortals had their own ways of living, and those who were not Immortals also had their own ways of living.
General Bai came from such a small place. Li Qingshan looked at the map given by Taoist Dragon and prepared to leave the Celestial Court Academy to head toward the East Continent.
Before he left, Taoist Dragon said to Li Qingshan, “For people like us who come from small places, our homeland has changed a long time ago. After all, whether it’s General Bai or me, we’ve lived for too long. The place from ten thousand or twenty thousand years ago has changed a long time ago. If you find that General Bai’s homeland has changed completely, don’t be surprised. It has been too long.”
Li Qingshan fell silent. This was right. General Bai had lived for more than 20,000 years. Everything had changed.
The homeland he longed for was the homeland from 20,000 years ago.
Li Qingshan looked at Taoist Dragon and said, “I didn’t expect you to come from such a small place too.”
“Like you, we both came from small places. The only difference is that you ascended from the Human World while I grew up in the Immortal Plane.”
“Previously, I also wanted to search for my homeland and the memories of my childhood. However, I realized that the village I once knew had long changed. Perhaps it was an earthquake, a battle, a relocation of people, or something else…”
“The village of the past will never return.”
Taoist Dragon sighed and waved his hand to leave, telling Li Qingshan to be careful on his journey and not to harbor too much hope.
Looking at Taoist Dragon’s departing figure, Li Qingshan stayed silent for a moment, then tore the space apart and left the Celestial Court Academy.
Previously, the Celestial Court Academy was protected by formations and restrictions. Ordinary people couldn’t break in or leave.
However, Li Qingshan was different. His strength was enough to ignore all these obstacles.
As long as outsiders found the coordinates of the Celestial Court Academy, they could also tear open space and enter.
Boom!
Li Qingshan tore the space apart, causing a violent storm. Then, he left Celestial Court Academy along with Big Brother Bai in the coffin.
He entered the East Continent.
Then, he tore through space all the way and advanced toward the location marked on the map.
Li Qingshan’s current speed wasn’t at the same level as before.
Previously, Li Qingshan still needed to use the teleportation formation to go back and forth. Now, he no longer needed to. He tore open space and descended to the next coordinate.
With his deep understanding of the Great Path of Space, these were all child’s play to him.
Li Qingshan spent two days on this journey. He tore through space hundreds of times and crossed an unknown distance. Finally, he arrived at General Bail s hometown.
And this wasn’t all of the East Continent. This showed how big the East Continent was, and how vast the Immortal Plane was.
General Bail s hometown was a small place called Mingri Village, which wasn’t marked on the map. If Li Qingshan hadn’t asked Taoist Dragon to investigate, he wouldn’t have been able to find Mingri Village.
Because Mingri Village had long disappeared in the long river of history.
Li Qingshan set foot into Mingri Village marked on the map. As far as his eyes could see, there were lush trees, bushes taller than people, and majestic mountains.
This place was completely in the wilderness, a primeval forest.
There was no trace of human presence at all.
Moreover, this place was in a mountain valley, which was even more remote.
No one would come here.
Wrapped in the mountains and ridges, Li Qingshan’s first reaction after arriving here was to sigh.
Just as Taoist Dragon said.
Everything in the past had been buried by time.
The village of the past couldn’t appear again.
“Is this the homeland that Big Brother Bai wants to return to?” Li Qingshan murmured.
As he walked in the mountains, he felt the mountains tremble. He saw lush vegetation…
Was this still the homeland in Big Brother Bail s memories?
Li Qingshan wondered if he should bury Big Brother Bai in these mountains and wilderness.
Should a fallen Era Immortal be buried here after his death?
“Big Brother Bai wants to return to his homeland.” “This is indeed Big Brother Bai’s homeland.”
“But not now!”
Li Qingshan suddenly stopped in his tracks. His expression froze as he turned his wrist and pressed down lightly.
Boom!
A slight tremor spread within a radius of a hundred miles.
Then, time began to rewind frantically..
