Chapter 174 Returning to the Immortal Plane (Seeking Subscription)

Li Qingshan looked at Hua Yun and spoke softly, “Do you remember back in the day on the Dimensional Battlefield when Hua Xiangrong disappeared after parting ways with you?”

Hua Yun looked at Li Qingshan strangely and asked, “Why are you asking about this?”

She remembered it clearly.

In this life, she remembered everything clearly.

“Do you know that after parting ways with you, Hua Xiangrong entered the Immortal Plane?” Li Qingshan said.

Hua Yun frowned and said, “That’s impossible. At that time, the Dimensional Battlefield didn’t allow for self-ascension, and she was not the type to compromise. How could she have entered the Immortal Plane?”

“She unexpectedly obtained a pearl. That pearl tore through the spatial boundaries and brought her into the Immortal Plane,” Li Qingshan explained.

“A pearl…” Hua Yun looked at Li Qingshan in surprise and instantly understood what he was implying.

“You mean the pearl I lost back then somehow ended up in Hua Xiangrong’s hands?” Hua Yun found it hard to believe.

“I’m just telling you that Hua Xiangrong had a special pearl in her possession. Whether it’s the one you lost remains to be identified. When we return to the Celestial Court, you can look for Hua Xiangrong,” Li Qingshan said.

“Then let’s return to the Celestial Court now!” Hua Yun said eagerly.

“Wait a moment. I haven’t finished my business here.” Li Qingshan held back the impatient Hua Yun, amused and exasperated.

“Oh, right. You need to find that Demon Frog,” Hua Yun said with an embarrassed smile, calming herself down a bit.

Li Qingshan shook his head and didn’t waste any more time. He took Hua Yun and left the tomb of the Jade Emperor and the Ziwei Emperor.

In the vast universe, within the Fourth World, there was a towering giant tower with 999 levels, anchored to the ground over a vast area. This tower was known as the Heaven Ascension Tower and was extremely famous in the Fourth World.

The tower was engraved with numerous Emperor formations and Venerable patterns. After enduring the passage of time, it had gained sentience, becoming a magical treasure.

However, no one had claimed the Heaven Ascension Tower as their own.

According to ancient legends, the Heaven Ascension Tower suppressed a peerless demon beneath it.

If the Heaven Ascension Tower were to be moved, the demon would break free and descend upon the Fourth World, unleashing a bloodbath.

This legend was well-known in the Fourth World, and every child heard this story growing up.

What people didn’t know was that the demon suppressed beneath the Heaven Ascension Tower was actually half of the Demon Frog’s body.

After the Starry Sky Battle, the Demon Frog, dragging its severely injured half-body, arrived at the Tower of Heaven, visibly excited, and let out a roar.

“My other half, I’ve come to find you!”

With the defeat in the Fourth World, no one dared to stop the Demon Frog. Gathering all its strength, it leaped and struck the Heaven Ascension Tower.

Thump!

A massive, earth-shaking boom echoed through the Fourth World, reminiscent of a morning bell.

The Heaven Ascension Tower, which had stood for millions of years, now bore cracks and trembled continuously. The formation patterns on it flickered one by one, some breaking apart directly while others resisted stubbornly, trying to stabilize the tower’s structure.

The Heaven Ascension Tower was among the top-tier Great Path Weapons in terms of quality.

However, even the top-tier Great Path Weapons could not withstand a fierce blow from a Venerable.

Under the flickering of countless Emperor formations and Venerable patterns, the Heaven Ascension Tower held for three seconds before it collapsed with a boom.

Boom!

In an instant, thick morning smoke filled the air, the ground trembled, and a ray of sunlight from the rising sun pierced through the massive storm, dust, and earthquake caused by the collapse of the Heaven Ascension Tower, landing on the spot where the tower once stood.

As the Heaven Ascension Tower collapsed, it revealed a black hole at its original location, bottomless and emitting a dense demonic aura.

The entrance was sealed, but faintly visible inside the black hole was the other half of the Demon Frog’s body.

Seeing this, the Demon Frog became excited and let out a loud howl, “Old buddy, let’s reunite!”

Roar roar roar roar!

Excited roars echoed from the sealed entrance, and soon a massive creature could be seen charging against the seal in the pitch-black hole.

Thump!

With the collapse of the Heaven Ascension Tower, the seal became unstable. After a few impacts, the seal shattered, and a dark shadow shot out from the hole.

It was the other half of the Demon Frog.

Venerable realm.

The two halves of the Demon Frog looked at each other and instantly merged.

“Hahahaha, your grandpa Demon Frog is finally a whole!” The fused Demon Frog laughed wildly towards the sky, causing dark clouds to gather and sweep across the heavens, resembling a villain full of arrogance.

At this moment, Li Qingshan arrived with Hua Yun.

The Demon Frog’s laughter abruptly stopped as it looked at Li Qingshan with uncertainty, retracting all its aura. Then it shrank its body to human size, resuming a normal appearance.

The Demon Frog now had a very bright and comical look, with a human-like body, a big belly, a frog’s head, and wearing golden clothes, resembling a golden cicada.

Upon seeing Li Qingshan, the Demon Frog’s heart involuntarily skipped a beat. It had witnessed everything in the Starry Sky Battlefield and knew clearly who was powerful and who was weak.

Although its body was now unified and in the Venerable realm, it hadn’t fully integrated its power. Even if it had, the Demon Frog had no confidence in confronting Li Qingshan.

After all, this was the person who defeated Shi Tian.

“Congratulations!” Li Qingshan approached and smiled as he saw the complete Demon Frog.

The Demon Frog happily replied, “Thanks to you, without your help, I wouldn’t have regained this half of my body so easily. What brings you here?”

“Now that you’ve reclaimed your body and your power will gradually return to its peak, what are your plans next?” Li Qingshan asked directly.

“I don’t know, maybe I’ll rest for a while, and then leave this universe to travel to other places and take a look around?” The Demon Frog said.

“Are there other universes outside of ours?” Li Qingshan inquired.

“Yes, there are. In the beginning, the world was a chaotic mass. One day, the chaos split apart, forming seven great universes. The space we’re in now is the first universe, also known as the Human World Universe,” the Demon Frog explained, understanding that Li Qingshan had come to learn about the cosmos.

“The chaos split apart, forming seven universes, and this is the Human World Universe…” Li Qingshan’s perspective broadened instantly. He hadn’t expected the universe to be structured in such a way.

Hua Yun, equally curious, asked, “Is the Human World Universe the lowest among the seven universes?”

Although she had entered the Supreme Path, Hua Yun knew very little about this information, almost nothing at all.

The Demon Frog nodded and said, “Among the seven universes, the Human World Universe is the lowest level. In this universe, there are countless clans and races like yours, or various people living on different planets. These individuals strive and practice different skills, ascending to the peak and entering the Venerable Realm. Afterward, they can enter higher-level universes through several methods.”

“What methods?” Li Qingshan asked.

“The first method, and the simplest, is to wait for the Supreme Path to descend,” the Demon Frog said and spread his hands.

“The second method is to have an elder in another universe who has established a foothold and is willing to spend a huge amount to create a universe-level teleportation formation to bring you over.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“The third method is to break the shackles between the two universes yourself and delve into the next level of the universe. But no one has succeeded in this way, so you all should wait for the Supreme Path to descend and enter other universes through it,” the Demon Frog said as he rubbed his fat belly.

“Besides the Human World Universe, are the other six universes ranked higher or lower?” Li Qingshan asked calmly.

“No, the other six universes are the six equal universes under Chaos. They are one level higher than the Human World Universe and can accommodate more powerful beings, innate divine spirits, and so on,” the Demon Frog shook his head and said.

“The six equal universes…” Hua Yun murmured in surprise.

“What method do you plan to use to enter other universes?” Li Qingshan asked the Demon Frog.

“Like you, I was also waiting for the Supreme Path to descend. Otherwise, even for a rare Demon Frog like me in this universe, it’s impossible to break the barriers between the edges alone,” the Demon Frog said regretfully.

“Since you are waiting for the Supreme Path to descend like us, why not visit the Immortal Plane? You’ve stayed in this desolate universe for millions of years, and now that the Fourth World is destroyed, come with me to the Immortal Plane and take a look.” Li Qingshan directly invited the Demon Frog, needing him to share more information about the universe.

The Demon Frog wanted to refuse, but seeing Li Qingshan’s serious expression and humble attitude, he felt uneasy.

He was afraid of Li Qingshan.

After thinking it over, the Demon Frog realized that he had no choice but to accept Li Qingshan’s invitation and visit the Immortal Plane.

“Alright, alright, I’ve been stuck in this small place on the dam for millions of years, unable to move, it’s been suffocating. I’ll go with you to the Immortal Plane.” The Demon Frog seriously considered and then nodded, agreeing to Li Qingshan’s invitation.

The three of them swiftly flew from the Fourth World to the Immortal Plane.

All three were in the Venerable realm, so the journey from the Fourth World to the Immortal Plane took them only a moment.

Crossing the vast universe, cold and dark, they entered the Immortal Plane and were greeted by mountains, rivers, trees, clear skies, and the gentle caress of the breeze, brightening their eyes and opening their minds.

“Although the energy in this world was a bit thin, and the world rules and the Great Path were not apparent, the scenery was indeed beautiful.” The Demon Frog remarked seriously, visiting the Immortal Plane for the first time.

“If the scenery is good, please enjoy it, Lord Demon Frog. We will first go to the Celestial Court and take a rest.” Li Qingshan invited the Demon Frog with a smile, heading to the Celestial Court.

They didn’t linger long outside the Celestial Court and headed straight to its core, the Emperor Space.

Now, in the Celestial Court, experts above the Immortal King level had their own houses in the Emperor Space. During their leisure time, they would come to absorb the energy of the Emperor Space.

The once desolate Emperor Space had now been thoroughly planted by Li Qingshan, filled with divine medicine, and with the efforts of the Celestial Court, its population had increased.

The Emperor Space had become somewhat lively.

Especially since such a major event had occurred in the universe, everyone in the Immortal Plane had witnessed it.

This time, the Celestial Court shone brightly.

The Jade Emperor and the Ziwei Emperor, once thought to be turbulent in their old age, displayed their peak power, astonishing all beings in the Immortal Plane.

Even more shocking to the world was that the current master of the Celestial Court had single-handedly defeated the patriarch of the Fourth World, ending the war with a flip of his hand.

The Celestial Court suddenly gained three Venerables, drawing all the attention and becoming unmatched for a while.

Of course, they didn’t know that the Jade Emperor and the Ziwei Emperor had fallen.

Nor did they know that Li Qingshan had developed a desire to retire.

They only knew that the Celestial Court was very powerful, planting a seed in everyone’s hearts.

Upon arriving at the Celestial Court, Hua Yun eagerly asked Li Qingshan, “Where is my sister?”

Li Qingshan had no choice but to use telepathy to summon Hua Xiangrong.

This pair of sisters had been separated from each other for hundreds of years and finally met again.
