Chapter 445: Can You Count for Me? (1)
It had been more than twenty years since they parted ways in the Human World, but there was no news of Xia Wuji.
Li Qingshan knew that he had gone to receive the inheritance of the Kunlun Immortal. Back then, it was Li Qingshan who witnessed the inheritance of the Kunlun Immortal together with him.
It had only been 20 years since he received the inheritance, which was very normal. Therefore, Li Qingshan wasn’t worried about the safety of Xia Wuji and the Heavenly Emperor at all.
However, Xia Wuji’s letter pleading for help surprised Li Qingshan greatly.
Dean Mu Ran immediately said, “The person who delivered the letter is above the Nine Heavens.”
“Take me there,” Li Qingshan immediately said.
Dean Mu Ran promptly led Li Qingshan, tearing through space to leave the Nine Heavens.
Little Nine also worried about Xia Wuji’s safety and followed Li Qingshan.
Above the Nine Heavens were numerous floating islands, with the largest being the core management area of the Celestial Court and the office of Dean Mu Ran and Patriarch Zhang.
Now, there was a Crimson Immortal here, severely injured and barely clinging to life. His soul flickered like a candle in the wind, fluctuating between brightness and darkness. Moreover, his body exhibited signs of poisoning, with blackness apparent.
He was barely conscious, and his condition was dire.
Li Qingshan quickly used his Emperor’s True Qi to protect the flickering primordial spirit of the Crimson Immortal. Then, he slowly began to detoxify him.
“What happened? The poison you’re suffering from was clearly set up by an Emperor Realm expert,” Li Qingshan calmly asked.
Li Qingshan could tell at a glance whether it was a poison set up by an Emperor Realm expert.
The Crimson Immortal who was saved slowly opened his eyes and, seeing Li Qingshan, breathed a sigh of relief before asking, “Are you Emperor Li Qingshan?”
“Yes, I am,” Li Qingshan nodded, though anxious, he remained calm.
“I’m a friend of Xia Wuji. He asked me to seek your help; he’s in grave danger,” the Crimson Immortal exclaimed.
“Don’t get agitated. Calm down and tell me everything.” Li Qingshan soothed his agitated emotions and used the Emperor’s True Qi to help him sort out the tendons and vessels in his body. He slowly forced the poison out and calmed him down.
“What’s your name?” Li Qingshan asked.
“Kunshan!” The Crimson Immortal said.
“I’ve only known Xia Wuji for a short time. We met in the Forbidden Land and helped each other through tough times, considering ourselves friends. We struggled to improve ourselves in the Forbidden Land,” Kunshan, supporting his weakened body, slowly stood up and said.
“The Forbidden Land?” Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows. He had just figured out why the Forbidden Land was here and now he encountered Xia Wuji being in the Forbidden Land.
“There are many Forbidden Lnads in the Immortal Plane. Where were you?” Dean Mu Ran asked.
“The God Forbidden Mountain!” Kunshan covered his chest and coughed.
“The God Forbidden Mountain is located in an ungoverned area of the Immortal Plane. According to the legends, it is an ancient mountain that has been passed down since ancient times and has not changed much. After that, for some reason, it became a Forbidden Land filled with divine prohibitions. Ordinary people who enter and step on divine prohibitions are either transported a million miles away or die on the spot,” Dean Mu Ran immediately explained to Li Qingshan. He knew that Li Qingshan didn’t know much about the Immortal Plane.
“Why did you go to the God Forbidden Mountain? It’s very dangerous there,” Dean Mu Ran asked.
“I’m looking for a chance to break through to Emperor Realm, while Xia Wuji is looking for the inheritance he obtained,” Kun Shan said.
“Inheritance?” Li Qingshan asked in surprise. He hadn’t expected Xia Wuji’s inheritance from the Kunlun Immortal to require going to such a dangerous place.
“Yes, he told me that the inheritance he obtained is in the Forbidden Land. As I was about to die, I also wanted to fight for a chance to break through to Emperor Realm, so I followed him and entered the God Forbidden Mountain. However, I didn’t expect that we would encounter great difficulties this time,” Kunshan sighed.
“What kind of difficulties?” Li Qingshan asked calmly. Although he was worried about Xia Wuji, he still had to calmly understand the situation.
“There’s an Emperor Realm expert in the God Forbidden Mountain who has occupied Xia Wuji’s inheritance and wants to kill him. He drove us back, playing with us like cats playing with mice, finally slowly torturing us to death,” Kunshan said in horror, not wanting to experience being tortured again.
“Then how did you manage to escape?” Li Qingshan asked. One had to know that it wasn’t easy to escape from the hands of an Emperor Realm expert. It was basically impossible.
“It’s Xia Wuji. He used the secret technique of the Kunlun Immortal and the special feature of the God Forbidden Mountain. I was teleported out by accident. Xia Wuji wrote me a letter before, asking me to come to the Celestial Court to find Immortal Emperor Li. He said that you were brothers and would definitely save him. Xia Wuji is in great danger now. Immortal Emperor Li must save him,” Kunshan pleaded.
“Don’t be anxious. Tell me about Xia Wuji’s current situation,” Li Qingshan asked.
“He’s in bad shape, severely injured, and unable to escape. He could only ask me to deliver the letter. After I came out, I rushed here non-stop, just not to miss the best opportunity,” Kunshan said immediately.
“Alright, I got it. Rest well and recover. I’m going to the God Forbidden Mountain!” Li Qingshan patted his shoulder to express his gratitude. Then, without hesitation, he tore through space and descended on the God Forbidden Mountain.
For Li Qingshan, who had reached the limit of an Emperor, the Immortal Plane was now easily accessible.
Although he had only entered the Emperor Realm for less than a year, he had already spent more than two million years in this extended time. During this long period of time, Li Qingshan had undergone a transformation. Upon learning of Xia Wuji’s peril, he instantly descended upon the God Forbidden Mountain.
