Chapter 411: After the Crisis (5)

The head of the Zhang Family left the ruins of the Celestial Court and headed to the Celestial Court Academy, leaving Li Qingshan alone to slowly pace amidst the wreckage.

He pondered his own matters.

“Breaking through to the Emperor Realm, solving the crisis of the Celestial Court, and rebuilding the Celestial Court. If Taoist Dragon was still here, he would be pleased to see this scene.” Li Qingshan was filled with regret.

Li Qingshan was still reluctant about Taoist Dragon’s sacrifice. The reason he worked so hard to break through to the Emperor Realm was to find the legendary Spring of Life and resurrect Taoist Dragon.

On the other hand, Li Qingshan also thought of Hua Yun.

The woman he had made a pact with in the Human World seemed to have disappeared after entering the Immortal Plane.

“Logically speaking, I’ve been in the limelight in the Immortal Plane one after another. The name Li Qingshan has spread throughout the Immortal Plane. Almost everyone knows, especially this time, after breaking through to the Emperor Realm, my fame has spread throughout the Immortal Plane. Logically speaking, Hua Yun should know.” Li Qingshan couldn’t figure out where Hua Yun could have gone.

Even though he found Hua Xiangrong, there was still no clue about Hua Yun.

“Once I turn the Great Search Technique into a Search Rule, it shouldn’t be difficult to find Hua Yun,” Li Qingshan muttered in his heart.

After breaking through to the Emperor Realm and saving the Celestial Court, the next step was to rebuild the Celestial Court, improve himself, find the Spring of Life, resurrect Taoist Dragon, find Hua Yun, and then solve Qingqing’s problem.

These were the few things that Li Qingshan needed to do at the moment.

Once these things were completed, Li Qingshan would have no regrets and he could climb toward a higher cultivation realm.

Hua Yun and Qingqing were the only two women in this world who had touched Li Qingshan’s heart.

Qingqing was more like a glimpse of first love. It inadvertently touched Li Qingshan’s heart and left a gentle kiss before disappearing.

Hua Yun was the woman Li Qingshan had chosen himself. He had set a twenty-year promise. For these twenty years, Li Qingshan had worked hard in his cultivation and reached the Immortal King Realm. In the end, he still couldn’t find Hua Yun.

Both of these women left traces in Li Qingshan’s heart, unforgettable for a long time.

In comparison, Taoist Dragon was Li Qingshan’s best friend after he entered the Immortal Plane. He sacrificed himself to save Li Qingshan, sublimating to the extreme and disappeared into the depths of the universe after the battle with the Emperor.

The head of the Zhang Family told Li Qingshan that if he found the Spring of Life, he could resurrect Taoist Dragon.

Although the chances were slim, Li Qingshan was still willing to try. He would search every corner looking for the Spring of Life.

Standing on the ruins of the Celestial Court, Li Qingshan silently contemplated.

Not long after, the head of the Zhang Family returned with Dean Mu Ran of the Celestial Court Academy.

“Lord Li Qingshan.” Mu Ran cupped his fists and shouted while looking at Li Qingshan with excitement. He never expected the crisis of the Celestial Court could be resolved so easily by Li Qingshan.

What he didn’t expect was that Li Qingshan had broken through to Emperor Realm in such a short time after leaving the Celestial Court Academy.

Li Qingshan nodded with a smile at Mu Ran and said, “You came just in time. The Celestial Court is in ruins now. You and the head of the Zhang Family will work together to formulate a new set of rules, with appropriate rewards and punishments, and clear distinctions between good and evil. You should also review yourselves, correct any inappropriate errors, and then arrange for the outstanding students who have graduated from the Celestial Court Academy to join the Celestial Court. You will perfectly implement the ideal of the Celestial Court and build it up as soon as possible.”

“I obey Lord Li Qingshan’s orders.” Mu Ran cupped his fists and bowed in agreement.

“Learn from the mistakes made by the Celestial Court in the past. Keep in mind the wishes of your Master, and create a soil that can shelter the lower-level cultivators of the Immortal Plane,” Li Qingshan instructed.

Dean Mu Ran nodded seriously. As a disciple, he naturally knew the ideals of his Master Taoist Dragon. In the past, the Celestial Court was dominated by the descendants of the Emperor Clan, so they couldn’t achieve this dream. It could only be implemented in the Celestial Court Academy.

Now that he had the chance to implement this idea in all the forces under the Celestial Court, Dean Mu Ran was very happy.

“Patriarch Zhang, you’ve been assisting Dean Mu Ran throughout the entire process. I hope both of you remember your original intentions when you reach the other side of your dreams,” Li Qingshan said calmly.

“Lord Li Qingshan, what will you do next?” Dean Mu Ran suddenly asked.

“I will stay in the Nine Heavens of the Celestial Court and will be your strongest support. Don’t fear any forces, especially those who have defected from the Celestial Court. After you reform the system of the Celestial Court and present it to me for review, ensure its accuracy, and we will strictly enforce it,” Li Qingshan said.

As an Emperor now, he couldn’t return to the Celestial Court Academy. That place wasn’t suitable for the current Li Qingshan.

“Immortal Emperor Li, the Nine Heavens is now completely empty. I’ll summon some maidservants for you,” The head of the Zhang Family said.

“No need. Your top priority is to rebuild the Celestial Court. As for me, I don’t need anyone to take care of me,” Li Qingshan refused immediately.

If he needed someone to take care of him, he could summon the five ghosts to serve him.

But after these years of being alone, Li Qingshan, accustomed to solitude, didn’t like others taking care of him.

“The Immortal Plane is dangerous. Although we managed to save the Celestial Court this time, the forces of the God Realm, the Demon Realm, the Monster Realm, Hell… They will definitely not accept defeat. The next attack will be incomparably fierce. Our top priority is to stabilize ourselves. You guys focus on your own tasks, and I’ll focus on mine. We’ll work together to rebuild the Celestial Court,” Li Qingshan said to Dean Mu Ran and the head of the Zhang Family.

Upon hearing Li Qingshan’s words, Patriarch Zhang and Dean Mu Ran nodded heavily. Although they managed to make the major forces withdraw for now, fundamentally, they only refrained from acting against Li Qingshan due to differing interests. Whether they could secretly reach a consensus and send forces to eliminate Li Qingshan was still unknown.

“You two go and discuss among yourselves. I’ll find a quiet place in the Nine Heavens to silently cultivate. While my fame is still high, we should quickly reclaim lost territories,” Li Qingshan instructed them. Then, he stepped out and disappeared amidst the ruins of the Celestial Court, entering the Nine Heavens.

Previously, Li Qingshan had broken through to Emperor on the first level of Immortal King and now, immediately after breaking through, he resided in the Nine Heavens.

In the long years to come, Li Qingshan would spend a considerable amount of time here.

Compared to the First Realm, the scenery in the Nine Realms was more beautiful, and the Immortal Energy was more abundant. It used to be the private territory of the descendants of the Emperor Clan, where outsiders weren’t allowed to enter.

But now, it had become Li Qingshan’s territory, albeit temporarily only his.

“It’s good to be quiet. I can continue to comprehend the 3,000 Rules here.” Li Qingshan looked at the empty Nine Realms with satisfaction and settled down.

“Next, I will comprehend the Search Rule and the Divination Rule. With these, finding people or treasures will become much easier.” Li Qingshan silently planned in his mind.

The worldwide crusade against Immortals, but the final outcome was blocked by one person. This would definitely become a strange story in the Immortal Plane.

This time, even the rural couples and the elderly in the remote areas knew of Li Qingshan’s name.

Unfortunately, there was no news about Hua Yun.

Li Qingshan couldn’t help but let out a long sigh and then continued to cultivate silently.

Although he had broken through from the Immortal King Realm and entered the Emperor Realm, he couldn’t afford to rest for even a moment.

He would continue cultivating.

Li Qingshan always felt that something was off about all the Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Plane now.

However, he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong, so he could only continue to cultivate in silence.

If he could comprehend the 3,000 Rules as soon as possible, Li Qingshan believed that no demons or monsters would be able to oppose him.
