Li Qingshan flipped through the second diary entry.
It detailed internal conflicts within the Celestial Court, shedding the naivety of youth and expressing deep concerns about the state of the Celestial Court. Taoist Dragon worried that if the Celestial Court continued to develop according to ancient rules, it would inevitably lead to its demise.
The third entry continued to focus on internal conflicts within the Celestial Court, with every word reflecting deep concern. Li Qingshan could sense the young man who was deeply entangled in the Celestial Court’s internal turmoil, tirelessly writing and feeling overwhelmed.
The fourth entry…
The fifth entry…
All the way until the tenth diary entry was about the internal affairs of the Celestial Court.
It could be seen that Taoist Dragon had tried his best to revitalize the Celestial
Court.
However, in the eleventh diary entry, Li Qingshan saw Taoist Dragon’s despair.
“I can’t build a new Celestial Court with a group of insects. If I want to rebuild a new order, I have to break the old order and rebuild the universe. This requires the power of an Emperor.”
From this diary, it was evident that Taoist Dragon was utterly disappointed with the group of mediocre people in the Celestial Court. He no longer hoped to improve the Celestial Court through institutional reforms, but wanted to strike them down!
I’m an Immortal King and I’m trying to reform the Celestial Court. If you guys try to stop me, what if I’m an Immortal Emperor?
Would You still dare to stop me?
Even the Jade Emperor would have to think twice to stop him, right?
After figuring out this, Taoist Dragon began to cultivate wholeheartedly. He wanted to break through to the Emperor Realm.
Li Qingshan continued to flip to the twelfth diary entry. There was a sentence written on it.
“Breakthrough failed. So… The Celestial Court has such a secret?”
Li Qingshan frowned. What secrets could there be within the Celestial Court? And how were they related to Taoist Dragon’s failed breakthrough?
He suppressed the doubts in his heart and flipped through the next diary entry.
There were only a few words in this diary.
“I have found new hope!!!”
“This should have been written recently. The span between the twelfth and the thirteenth entries is tens of thousands of years…”
Li Qingshan suddenly realized that Taoist Dragon had lost all hope, idling away his days at the Celestial Court Academy. He didn’t care much about the outside world.
Until he met Li Qingshan, he saw hope.
A young man who was more talented than him, with a clean background and a simple personality, and he belonged to the Celestial Court.
This was simply a gift from the heavens to solve the problem of the Celestial Court.
Therefore Taoist Dragon regarded Li Qingshan as extremely important.
Even if it meant sacrificing his life, he would protect Li Qingshan.
After reading the diary, Li Qingshan let out a breath of turbid air. He was sad. He wanted to continue reading the diary, but there was no more, and there would never be another in the future.
Li Qingshan put away the diary and looked around. He wiped a tear from the corner of his eye and said, “Taoist Dragon, your wish will come true.”
Li Qingshan returned to the cliff.
His heart was heavy. He wanted to be alone for a while, but on the peak of the mountain, a woman had spotted Li Qingshan early. She screamed and excitedly rushed toward Li Qingshan.
“Brother…”
It had been more than ten years since Li Qingshan had heard such an intimate and sweet call. It invigorated Li Qingshan’s spirit.
That’s right, Little Nine and the others had ascended.
Because of Taoist Dragon’s sacrifice, he had been overwhelmed with grief, forgetting about this.
Seeing Little Nine pouncing over, Li Qingshan opened his arms. In the next second, Little Nine rushed into Li Qingshan’s arms and hugged him excitedly as she said, “Brother, brother, brother…
It had been almost twenty years since they last met, and Little Nine’s longing for him had long overflowed. She hugged Li Qingshan and leaned against his chest, unable to control her tears.
She had never been separated from her brother for so long.
She really missed her brother.
Li Qingshan suppressed the sadness in his heart and smiled gently. He patted Little Nine’s back and said gently, “You’re already a big girl. Why are you still crying? How can you get married in the future?”
Little Nine used Li Qingshan’s clothes to wipe her tears and snot. She grumbled. “If I can’t get married, you’ll take care of me for the rest of my life.
I’ll be an old spinster for life.”
Li Qingshan felt very warm in his heart. He said to Little Nine, “Alright, I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life. If you don’t want to get married, I won’t force you.”
“Brother, I really missed you in the Human World. I was worried that you would encounter danger in the Immortal Plane, but I thought that you were such a genius and would definitely make a name for yourself in the Immortal Plane. As expected, as soon as I came to the Immortal Plane, I saw dominating as an Immortal King.” Little Nine raised its head and looked at Li Qingshan proudly. The bright smile on its face cleared away the haze in Li Qingshan’s heart.
“You still dare to say that. You were almost forced into the bridal chamber.” Li Qingshan reached out and pinched Little Nine’s nose as he said angrily.
“Then this is my first time in the Immortal Plane. I don’t know much about this place. I believe whatever they say,” Little Nine said aggrievedly.
“Alright, stop clinging to me. The others are watching,” Li Qingshan said.
Only then did Little Nine reluctantly leave Li Qingshan’s arms. Then, a white light scuttled into Li Qingshan’s arms, and its big tail wrapped around Li Qingshan.
“Little fox, you haven’t transformed yet,” Li Qingshan said in surprise. He didn’t expect that the little fox hadn’t transformed even though it was already in the Immortal Realm.
“I miss you so much!” The little fox didn’t answer Li Qingshan. Instead, it licked Li Qingshan’s palm and said in a dependent manner.
Li Qingshan reached out and rubbed the little fox’s fur as he said, “I missed you too. Why did you take so long? I thought you would have ascended a few years ago.”
Little Nine said helplessly, “We have to do it perfectly. The speed of the five ghosts’ breakthrough is a little slow. We have to wait for them.”
The five ghosts were tall. He looked ashamed. He looked at Li Qingshan and said, “Master!”
Li Qingshan looked at the five ghosts. They were creatures he had created with his own hands. Now, they were all in the Immortal Realm. It was unbelievable.
Thinking back to the Repentance Cliff in the Human World, the five ghosts were just a bunch of thoughts. No one expected that the five ghosts would become Immortals now.
“You came just in time. This cliff of mine has been unattended for many years. It will belong to you in the future.” Li Qingshan smiled calmly and said while holding the little fox.
The five ghosts were delighted and quickly agreed. They were extremely happy. Now, they could follow behind Li Qingshan again.
The feeling of the past had returned once again.
Lastly, Li Qingshan looked at A’wei.
A’wei looked guilty and said, “Sir, this time it’s my fault. I made a mistake, causing you to venture alone and leading to the downfall of your friend.”
Li Qingshan smiled gently and patted A’wei, saying, “It’s not your fault. There are many coincidences in the world, and they are all unintentional mistakes. It’s fine as long as you are safe. Now, cultivate well. When you come to the Immortal Plane, make good use of your talents. You’re a disciple I have high hopes for.”
“Sir, I will.” A’wei nodded firmly. He knew that Li Qingshan was comforting him, so he didn’t try to be pretentious.
Li Qingshan carried the little fox in his arms, and Little Nine followed behind him. He looked at the five ghosts, A’wei, and Hua Xiangrong.
“Let me introduce you. This is Hua Xiangrong.” Li Qingshan extended his hand and introduced Hua Xiangrong.
Little Nine and the others looked at Hua Xiangrong.
“Hello, Little Nine. Your brother is my brother-in-law,” Hua Xiangrong said with a smile.
Little Nine looked at Li Qingshan in astonishment. “Brother, I have a sister-in-law?”
The little fox in Li Qingshan’s arms immediately looked at Hua Xiangrong warily, and then at Li Qingshan with regret.
She knew it.
They were separated by a world.
As expected, there was another woman who had seduced her most beloved master.
The little fox was so angry that she wanted to scratch someone, but she couldn’t bear to hurt Li Qingshan. She could only stare at Li Qingshan sulkily.
The five ghosts and A’wei also looked on in surprise.
However, Li Qingshan remained calm and unruffled. He said, “You do have a
sister-in-law. I just don’t know where she is now..”
