âAnd living a second life as an Emperor is also extremely difficult. For example, the Gouchen Emperor didnât live a second life.â
âSo, my current goal is to break through to Emperor, gain a long lifespan, and then see if I can comprehend the 3,000 Rules.â
Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, his back straight like a pine or cypress, his figure slender and tall, wearing a white robe. He stood atop the clouds, pondering the issue.
These questions were all ones he had to face.
âWith my current lifespan, itâs certain that I wonât be able to comprehend more Rule power in the realm of Crimson Immortal.â
âSo, I can first comprehend one type of Rule power, become an Emperor, gain a long lifespan, and then comprehend other types of Rule power.â
Li Qingshan calculated in his mind.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMy 3,000 Great Paths have already reached their peak. If I really choose one Great Path to comprehend Rule power, it must be the Path of Time!â
âI still have the magic treasure concretizing the Great Path of Time, the Big Clock.â
âThe Big Clock was condensed by Qingqingâs grandfather, a Great Path Weapon, extremely formidable. I can use it just right.â
Li Qingshanâs thoughts expanded, thinking of many things.
âWait, one type of Rule power is a bit weak.â
âOne type of Rule power breaking through to Emperor, within the ranks of Emperors, shouldnât be able to suppress everything. I have to break through with several types of Rule power.â Li Qingshan muttered to himself.
âThe Time Rule, coupled with another, the Space Rule, should be quite powerful.â Li Qingshanâs inspiration struck.
It has always been said that Space is supreme, and Time is king. In the hierarchy of the Great Paths, they belong to the mysterious ones, naturally possessing immense power, much stronger than ordinary Great Paths.
In the realm of Rule power, they would naturally stand out.
Li Qingshan was worried that with only one type of Rule power, he wouldnât be able to handle the troubles within the Celestial Court after breaking through to the Emperor.
And after breaking through to the Emperor, he would have many things to do.
Find Hua Yun, find the Spring of Life, resurrect Taoist Dragon, solve internal problems within the Celestial Court, fulfill Taoist Dragonâs dream, investigate Qingqingâs family matters, and even find out what organization was behind that damâ¦
These things added up, and without strong power, success was impossible.
So, Li Qingshan thought of letting Time and Space give birth to Rule power together. After breaking through to the Emperor, with Time in his left hand and Space in his right, he could vanquish everything.
âWhen I comprehend the Rule of Time and Space, and enter the realm of Emperor, Iâll have enough time to comprehend other Great Paths, so I wonât have to worry.â Li Qingshan thought silently.
Just as Li Qingshan was contemplating, someone approached the mountaintop.
Li Qingshan instantly sensed that the newcomer was none other than Mu Ran, the dean of the Celestial Court Academy.
As a disciple of Taoist Dragon and the head of the Celestial Court Academy for tens of thousands of years, Mu Ran also had the cultivation level of an Immortal King.
âDean Mu Ran, why have you come?â Li Qingshan asked curiously. He had interacted with Mu Ran several times, but they werenât close. Mu Ran wouldnât come to find Li Qingshan for no reason.
âLord Li Qingshan, something has happened in the Celestial Court.â Dean Mu Ranâs face was solemn as he walked up to Li Qingshan and said in a deep voice.
âWhat happened?â Li Qingshan asked calmly with his hands behind his back.
âThe Monster Realm, Demon Realm, Buddha Realm, God Realm, and various other top forces have united to launch a worldwide attack on the Immortals!â Dean Mu Ranâs face was grave.
âA worldwide attack on the Immortalsâ¦â Li Qingshanâs eyelids twitched slightly, deeply surprised. He hadnât expected it to come so soon.
âYes, these top forces have united and begun to attack the Celestial Courtâs territory, gradually advancing from all directions, surrounding the Celestial Court layer by layer,â Dean Mu Ran said.
âHow did the Celestial Court react?â Li Qingshan asked with a furrowed brow.
He wasnât surprised that the Immortals were being attacked worldwide because Taoist Dragon had guessed it from the beginning. After the fall of the Gouchen Emperor, countless experts speculated about when these forces would unite to overthrow the Celestial Court.
The Gouchen Emperorâs fall shattered the Celestial Courtâs stable position.
Now, the Celestial Court only had two Emperors left, one seemingly asleep and the other ignoring worldly affairs. Although they were both powerful veteran Immortal Emperors, their long absence made people doubt.
Now, with the world attacking the Immortals, these united forces naturally werenât afraid of the Celestial Courtâs two Emperors.
Previously, the Celestial Court stood strong with three Emperors, intimidating the Immortal Plane.
Now, with the Gouchen Emperorâs fall, it was like breaking one support pillar. With only two pillars left, the Celestial Courtâs crumbling body could no longer be supported.
The Celestial Courtâs downfall was imminent.
âThe Celestial Court is naturally mobilizing its forces to try to stop it, but now, itâs not just a battlefield; weâre also losing ground in public opinion. Everyone outside is criticizing us,â Mu Ran sighed. As a member of the Celestial Court, seeing its current state saddened him.
âNo matter how we mobilize our forces, we canât save this situation unless the Ziwei Emperor and Jade Emperor appear together, dominating everything with their powerful presence to stop this worldwide attack on the Immortals,â Li Qingshan said calmly.
âI know, and the Celestial Court knows too, but the problem is, we canât contact the Ziwei Emperor and the Jade Emperor,â Mu Ran sighed.
âCanât contact themâ¦â Li Qingshan frowned. âThen the Celestial Court has only one way to go.â
âThe Celestial Court is in a state of panic now. Everyone thinks itâs doomed, so there are traitors everywhere, and even on the battlefield, morale is collapsing. Even if experts are willing to fight hard, they canât save it. Itâs truly a complete collapse,â Dean Mu Ran lamented.
