He had been comprehending the Paths for nearly two thousand years without stopping. Li Qingshan’s control of the 3,000 Great Paths had reached a level that even he felt terrified.

Although he was still in the Ancestral Immortal Realm, there was once when Taoist Dragon came to see Li Qingshan. The moment he saw Li Qingshan, he shivered in fear. Pointing at Li Qingshan, he said, “Why do I feel that you are even fiercer than an Immortal King?”

Of course, this was just his misconception.

Li Qingshan chuckled and replied, “I’m only an Ancestral Immortal Realm. How can I be comparable to an Immortal King? It must be your misconception.” Taoist Dragon remained skeptical and said, “I still feel that you’re frightening.” Li Qingshan said something to dispel his suspicion.

It had been more than 1,800 years since Li Qingshan had entered the Starry Sky

Cemetery, but he had never fought once.

He had been accumulating, constantly accumulating.

During this period, Li Qingshan occasionally paused in his leisure time to watch the sunset and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world.

Apart from that, Li Qingshan would talk with Taoist Dragon and write letters to Big Brother Bai.

In the past five years, he and Big Brother Bai had only sent three letters to each other, not even one per year.

Big Brother Bai wasn’t good at expressing his feelings. The contents of the letters were simple and caring words, but Li Qingshan knew that he really regarded him as a family member.

In the past five years, Li Qingshan had spent his life like this.

It seemed like five years, but in fact, it had been more than 1,800 years. For Li Qingshan, it was also a tempering of his body and mind.

Li Qingshan had a deep understanding of this experience.

Five years later, Li Qingshan came out of his seclusion and opened his eyes to see the world. It was a sunny day with blue skies and white clouds, and a cool breeze blowing over the waterfall.

It was like a lifetime ago.

For mortals, a lifetime is a hundred years. Calculated this way, Li Qingshan had lived through eighteen lifetimes.

As he looked upon the beautiful scenery, he felt a familiar yet strange sensation.

Li Qingshan wore a black robe. His black hair was like a waterfall, and his body was slender. He stood on the mountain peak and looked at the sea of clouds. He was in a good mood. He stood with his hands behind his back and breathed in the fresh air.

“This time, I gained a lot from my seclusion. Seeing these sights again gives me a different feeling, ” Li Qingshan murmured.

With a sweep of his primordial spirit, the entire Celestial Court Academy was enveloped within it.

No one noticed.

Not even Taoist Dragon.

Li Qingshan smiled faintly and said, “Old Fool, come and have a drink.”

Taoist Dragon, who was dealing with some matters, suddenly sat up and looked in the direction of Li Qingshan’s mountain peak in shock.

In the next second, Taoist Dragon tore the space apart and landed beside Li Qingshan.

“I didn’t even notice your primordial spirit?” Taoist Dragon said in surprise.

Li Qingshan smiled and didn’t answer. But instead, he said, “Let’s have some wine.”

Li Qingshan took out some fine wine from his spatial storage.

This fine wine was prepared by Little Nine for Li Qingshan when he left the Human World. Until now, Li Qingshan rarely drank.

Li Qingshan was in a good mood today, so he wanted to drink some.

Looking at Li Qingshan’s smile, Taoist Dragon hesitated for a moment and said, “Is your seclusion this time over?”

“Temporarily ended.” Li Qingshan said, “I want to rest for a while. Then, I will continue to comprehend it. This time, it has been too long.”

Taoist Dragon nodded and said, “Five years is indeed a long time, especially when you use time elongation. How much time have you actually spent?”

Li Qingshan answered, “Over 1,800 years!”

Taoist Dragon gave a thumbs up in admiration and said, “You are a ruthless man. The longest I’ve ever secluded myself was just over 80 years. After that, I never underwent extensive, prolonged seclusion again. It’s too torturous.”

Li Qingshan murmured, “If you always gain something, you wouldn’t feel it’s torturous. ”

Taoist Dragon nodded in agreement. Then, he looked at the wine in Li Qingshan’s hand. He hesitated and said, “Li Qingshan, I’m afraid I can’t drink this wine today.”

Li Qingshan’s smile faded. Seeing Taoist Dragon’s reaction, he frowned and asked, “What happened?”

If nothing special happened, Taoist Dragon would surely enjoy drinking with Li Qingshan.

Taoist Dragon looked at Li Qingshan and said, “Let’s sit down and talk.”

Li Qingshan remained calm. He waved his sleeve, and a table and two chairs automatically condensed in the void, placed on the mountaintop amidst the white clouds.

This table was condensed from the Great Path and wasn’t made of ordinary materials. Now, Li Qingshan could freely manipulate the Great World Path.

“Your strength is becoming increasingly formidable. I can’t see through you anymore,” Taoist Dragon said enviously.

However, Li Qingshan wasn’t in the mood for that. He sat down and placed the wine on the table. He asked, “What happened? Did something go wrong with the investigation I asked you to do?”

Li Qingshan’s first thought was that Hua Yun or Little Nine, fearing that something might have happened to them.

Taoist Dragon knew how important these people were to Li Qingshan, which was why he was so hesitant.

Taoist Dragon shook his head and said, “No, I’ve been looking for Hua Yun for the past five years. I’ve used all my connections, but I got nothing. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Li Qingshan remained unfazed. He said, “It’s indeed very difficult. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. So it’s okay if you can’t find it. Because sometimes, no news is good news.”

He looked at Taoist Dragon. If it wasn’t Hua Yun, then could it be about Xiao Jiu and the others?

Taoist Dragon continued, “In these five years, I’ve been checking every month for newcomers to the Celestial Court. There hasn’t been a single lead. However, as for what you mentioned, Little Nine, A’wei, and the Five Ghosts, there’s been no trace of them at all..
