Chapter 321 - 321: I’ll Take You to Kill an Emperor (3)
Unfortunately, the Immortal King guarding this area was only at the second level of the Immortal King Realm, the Lifespan Immortal Realm.
When Li Qingshan tore through space, he deliberately pulled a distance away, so he didn’t notice it.
After entering the torn space, Li Qingshan appeared in the Abyss Forbidden Land in the next second.
The black land, the dark forest, the violent Immortal Energy flowing in the air, and the ancient aura everywhere.
Li Qingshan remained vigilant of his surroundings. He looked at this world. It was a forest now, and the air was humid.
This was normal.
This million-mile Great Swamp was a place of high humidity. It was not surprising if the humidity in the air was a little higher.
Li Qingshan looked up at the sky.
It was daytime now, but the dense forest and huge branches intertwined, blocking the sunlight and making the place dim.
Li Qingshan walked in a certain direction.
Along the way, he remained cautious and found that there weren’t many traces of living creatures here. Wild beasts, wild animals, and even monsters. Li Qingshan didn’t see a single one.
As he walked, Li Qingshan saw a large lake.
The lake had dried up and the bottom of the lake had cracked. This river was connected to a large crack at the bottom of the lake.
The spiritual qi that surged out of the river was extremely rich. It made Li Qingshan feel refreshed as if he was bathing in the spring breeze.
The bottom of the lake was dry. If the big crack wasn’t included, it was shaped like a frying pan.
Li Qingshan walked to the bottom of the lake and saw many huge fish bones along the way. Some of the fish bones were even bigger than Li Qingshan. As the lake dried up, they died.
Standing at the center of the lake, he looked around. The towering ancient trees were rooted on the shore of the lake, looking extremely vigorous.
Unfortunately, with the passage of time, the river dried up, and these ancient trees had all withered and died. Only one or two remained, bearing a dozen or so yellow leaves.
Although it had withered and died, the trunk of the tree was extremely terrifying and didn’t rot all year round.
The surroundings were quiet and lifeless.
“This is supposed to be the million-mile Great Swamp. Logically speaking, there should be plenty of water. However, this huge river has dried up. The ancient trees in the surroundings have all withered and died. This is abnormal,” Li Qingshan muttered in his heart.
The only difference was that the Immortal Energy here was extremely dense.
The dense Immortal Energy came from the big crack at the bottom of the lake. Li Qingshan stood by the crack and looked inside.
It was bottomless.
He was staring into the abyss.
“Should I go down and take a look?” An idea flashed through Li Qingshan’s mind.
He immediately asked the giant sword in his body.
But the giant sword remained unresponsive.
Seeing this, Li Qingshan immediately retreated.
The bottom of the abyss was definitely a vast world. The spiritual Qi there was at least ten times denser than the outside world.
But Li Qingshan dared not go down.
This was the Abyss Forbidden Land, not an ordinary place.
Danger lurked everywhere.
If Li Qingshan were to barge in recklessly like a hothead, it wouldn’t be long before the grass in front of his grave would be three feet tall.
Li Qingshan walked out of the dry lake pit, climbed ashore, and looked around.
In this area, many trees had withered and were bare. Their vitality had been extinguished, giving people an extremely desolate feeling.
“The changes in this area should all be related to the massive crack below.” Li Qingshan stood on the shore and looked at the huge crack in the middle of the lake.
He didn’t linger but continued forward.
After moving forward for about a hundred miles, Li Qingshan heard the sound of water flowing.
He passed through a large area of deadwood forest, only to be greeted by a lush green forest and a shimmering lake.
The lake was as beautiful as a sapphire, and the plants on the shore were full of vitality.
There were towering ancient trees, their branches stretching into the sky, akin to small mountains, with thick wines resembling azure dragons crawling everywhere.
On one side of the lake, there were all kinds of flowers and plants. The fragrance was refreshing, and the flowers were colorful. It was very pleasing to the eye.
This place and the place he had just gone to were two extremes.
Li Qingshan found it strange.
The distance was less than a hundred miles, yet the two places were completely different. The place just now was dead silent, devoid of any vitality, but now it was so lively and thriving.
Li Qingshan kept his guard up as he advanced.
He arrived at the lake shore and scooped up some water from the sapphire lake.
He asked softly, “Giant sword, is this the place?”
The giant sword inside him remained unresponsive.
Li Qingshan immediately stood up and chose to leave.
He was extremely cautious.
Even if there were treasures and fortuitous encounters in this area, as long as the giant sword didn’t speak, Li Qingshan wouldn’t do anything.
Li Qingshan continued to move forward, crossing mountains.
Every time he went to a place, he would ask the giant sword.
But the giant sword didn’t react at all. It made people wonder if the two sentences from before had drained all of its strength.
But Li Qingshan knew that it was impossible.
Along the way, Li Qingshan also saw pavilions and towers, but they had all collapsed halfway. Although one could still discern the array patterns covering them, they couldn’t withstand the erosion of time.
He walked and stopped like this. It took Li Qingshan a day to arrive at a misty land.
Here, he saw many majestic palaces. These palaces were well-preserved and were different from the collapsed pavilions he had seen before.
The vast expanse of palaces were like heavenly palaces, either standing amidst the mountains or situated in front of dried-up waterfalls… This place must have been extremely prosperous in the past.
But now, it was deserted.
Although the palace remained intact, weeds grew rampant around them, some even taller than Li Qingshan himself..
