The head of the Zhang Family narrated his story, which stunned Li Qingshan.

When the head of the Zhang Family was young, he met the most amazing Taoist Dragon and was influenced by him. He began to awaken and see the essence of the world.

He was… enlightened.

“You are also a descendant of the Emperor Clan…” Li Qingshan reminded the head of the Zhang Family.

“That’s why I can see it clearly. I also understand that I’m not the one who can change everything. I’m stuck in a quagmire and can’t extricate myself. I’ve long been branded as a descendant of the Emperor Clan descendant.”

“You know what? For the sake of reforming everything, I’ve secretly paid a lot.”

“I’m from a collateral branch. I’m not qualified to inherit the position of the family’s master, and no one supports me.”

“I worked hard in my cultivation and relied on my extraordinary talent to break through to the Immortal King Realm. After that, I plunged into the quagmire of being a descendant of the Emperor Clan and investigated everything. I also knew the conspiracy behind these power disputes.”

“Sometimes, to understand the abyss, one must enter the abyss or even become one with it.”

“I’ve been writing to Taoist Dragon all these years, but he no longer cares, doesn’t believe in me. He thinks that internal reform of the Celestial Court is impossible, so he was disheartened.”

The head of the Zhang Family said regretfully.

“To be honest, I find it hard to believe too,” Li Qingshan said seriously.

A genius who was born in the descendants of the Emperor Clan actually wanted to overthrow the descendants of the Emperor Clan, and even overthrow his own ancestor, the Jade Emperor.

“Then do you believe me?” The head of the Zhang Family asked with a smile.

“I do.” Li Qingshan nodded and said straightforwardly.

“Why?” The head of the Zhang Family asked curiously.

“Because you have no reason to fabricate this story to deceive me. Moreover, this story is so shocking,” Li Qingshan said directly.

“Like Taoist Dragon, I love the Celestial Court deeply. He delved into the quagmire back then for the sake of the Celestial Court, wanting to reform it from within, but ultimately failed and ended up in a sorry state.”

“Like him, I also plunged into the quagmire within the Celestial Court. I’m not as lucky as him. I’ve already merged too deeply and can’t extricate myself. I can’t achieve reform. All I can do is to seek help from outsiders and, with my assistance, reform the Celestial Court,” The head of the Zhang Family said in a deep voice. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Am I that outsider?” Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows.

“Yes.” The head of the Zhang Family nodded.

“Why choose me when you don’t even know me?” Li Qingshan frowned.

“I may not know you, but I know Taoist Dragon. Even though he’s been at the Celestial Court Academy for these years, I still pay attention to his every move.”

“You are the one that Taoist Dragon thinks highly of. For you, he has done everything he could to protect you, even if he had to die.”

“I naturally choose you.”

The head of the Zhang Family looked at Li Qingshan and said seriously, “Li Qingshan, if we join forces, with you in the light and me in the dark, I will fully support you, whether it’s resources, intelligence, or internal power struggles within the Celestial Court. I can solve them for you. In necessary moments, I can sacrifice the Zhang Family, sacrifice myself, all to help you. As long as you agree, we can work together to deeply reform the Celestial Court.”

“Let’s save this Celestial Court that is on the verge of collapse.”

Li Qingshan listened and looked at the head of the Zhang Family in surprise. This plan was quite insane.

“The Celestial Court doesn’t have much time left. If we don’t reform it soon, it will collapse inevitably. I don’t want to see that. At that time, the various races will wage war, and the Immortal Plane will become a battlefield. An era of chaos will come, which will be a great disaster for lower-level cultivators.”

“I hope you can agree.” The head of the Zhang Family looked at Li Qingshan sincerely and said.

In the empty hall, there were only Li Qingshan and the head of the Zhang Family. Their shadows elongated, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Li Qingshan looked at the head of the Zhang Family, who was earnestly looking at him, his eyes were filled with determination as he revealed his ultimate goal.

He wanted to assist Li Qingshan reform the Celestial Court and realizing his dream.

“You’re now the family’s master of the Zhang Family. You should know that the internal conflicts within the Celestial Court are not just about cutting off the descendants of the Emperor Clan. You still have the Jade Emperor and the Ziwei Emperor above you, and that’s the biggest problem,” Li Qingshan didn’t agree, but instead calmly said.

“The Ziwei Emperor has fallen into a deep sleep. His control over the Celestial Court is minimal.”

“The Jade Emperor is now just a figurehead, pursuing other things. His only requirement for the Celestial Court is to follow the ancient customs. He doesn’t care about anything else.”

“This is also the reason why the Celestial Court was indifferent when you were attacked by the Emperor of the Demon Realm that day.”

“The two Emperors of the Celestial Court have forgotten their original intentions. They’ve grown old.”

The head of the Zhang Family said in a deep voice.

“Why don’t you think about improving yourself and breaking through to Emperor Realm? You can launch a dimensional attack to eliminate these demons and monsters?” Li Qingshan asked.

“I just said, the Jade Emperor doesn’t want to see another Emperor in the Immortal Plane. I investigated deeply and found out that he began arranging this ten thousand years ago. It took him ninety thousand years to hatch a divine spirit thought, which exists within the Great Path. As long as someone tries to break through to the Emperor Realm, the divine spirit thought will descend and kill the breakthrough, and no one can discover this divine spirit thought. So, in the past ten thousand years, there hasn’t been an Emperor in the Immortal Plane, and there won’t be in the future.”

“Breaking through to Emperor Realm and then attacking by lowering the dimensions is basically impossible.”

The head of the Zhang Family said dejectedly.

“Divine spirit thought?” Li Qingshan asked with a frown, “Is this divine spirit thought very powerful?”

“The full-force attack of an Emperor, or one like the Jade Emperor, cannot be resisted by any Crimson Immortal,” the head of the Zhang Family said.

“Wait a minute…” Li Qingshan’s eyes suddenly brightened. “What did you just say?”

A full-force attack of an Emperor?

Or one from a divine spirit thought.

At this moment, Li Qingshan’s mind grasped the precise information.

He smiled happily.
