In the Great Qi Dynasty, the imperial palace was cold, dark and deserted.
Qu Qingyan sat alone on the cold dragon throne, feeling mixed emotions.
She had also heard the news that Ye Qing had entered the ancient forbidden area and challenged the ancient blood descendants.
The ancient bloodline is a level that Qu Qingyan cannot reach.
She also didn't know how strong the enemy Ye Qing was facing this time.
But according to Fengzu Chang Yunxiao and the discussions of other dynasties, Ye Qing's actions this time were very dangerous.
"Ye Qing..."
"Are you going to die this time?"
"Or will you return victorious by slaying all powerful enemies like you have done countless times before?"
At this moment, Qu Qingyan was no longer clear about what her attitude towards Ye Qing was in her heart.
She hated Ye Qing. If Ye Qing had not left, the Great Qi Dynasty would not have become such a miserable state today.
She regretted her behavior even more, even though she had regretted it countless times in the quiet and deserted midnight.
After all, Qu Qingyan didn't want Ye Qing to die.
Whether for the Great Qi Dynasty or for the entire human race, she hopes that Ye Qing can return safely.
……
After another carpet search of the Immortal Mountain, Ye Qing and Dongfang Liren set off.
During this trip, they obtained a total of eight supreme divine weapons.
Red Cloud Drum, Wave-Walking Boat, Fusang Sword, Yellow Sky Shield...
The rest of the resources and treasures are countless, enough to match the wealth of the three holy places combined.
Ye Qing originally wanted to split it equally with Dongfang Liren, but Dongfang Liren only asked for 20% of the resources and the same supreme divine weapon.
There is no reward without merit. In Dongfang Liren's opinion, accepting this small portion of resources is already worthy of his hard work.
Before leaving, Ye Qing looked back at the dark Immortal Mountain for the last time, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.
perhaps……
You can use the Immortal Mountain as your foundation to build your own power.
The Great Chu Dynasty, although not much different from his, was after all just a mortal dynasty.
If he were not there, any ancient descendant, or even a demon lord, could massacre the entire dynasty.
But Immortal Mountain is different.
The Immortal Mountain is located in an ancient forbidden area, separated by a saint's ban.
These saintly prohibitions were specifically established to target the ancient bloodlines.
The ancient blood descendants inside cannot go out, and those outside naturally cannot come in.
In addition, Immortal Mountain is rich in resources and full of spiritual power.
It is only because it has been occupied by the undead for tens of thousands of years that it has become gloomy and lifeless.
I only need to use the Immortal Sword Taibai to purify it a few times to eliminate all the negative and evil spirits.
If I can manage it well for a few years, perhaps I can turn the Immortal Mountain into an impregnable fortress.
Of course, these thoughts are all later.
For Ye Qing, his top priority now is to go into seclusion as soon as possible, strike while the iron is hot, and explore the path to immortality.
……
After leaving the Immortal Mountain, Dongfang Liren returned to the Jade Maiden Palace, and Ye Qing returned to the Great Chu Dynasty.
When we returned to the Great Chu Dynasty, it was already late at night.
Upon learning that Ye Qing had returned safely, Chu Yao immediately rushed back from Thousand Buddha Temple, crying with joy.
Regardless of his injuries, Ye Qing doted on Chu Yao.
Then he hugged Chu Yao and snuggled up to her on the bed, telling her about his experiences in the Immortal Mountain.
Chu Yao was extremely shocked to hear that Ye Qing had actually killed two Undead masters with the strength of immortals.
But then, looking at the shocking wounds on Ye Qing's body, Chu Yao felt extremely distressed. "Ye Lang, this is too dangerous."
"You're lucky this time. You only got a minor injury."
"What if I lose my life by mistake next time? What should I do?"
"Ling'er and I can't live without you, the Great Chu Dynasty can't live without you, and the world can't live without you."
"Please cherish your life in the future and don't do these dangerous things, okay?"
Ye Qing smiled faintly and said comfortingly, "Yao'er, don't worry."
"I plan to start my retreat in the Yuling Cave behind the Imperial Palace from tomorrow and launch the final attack on the Immortal Path."
"Once I truly become an immortal, no one in this world will be able to pose any threat to me."
Chu Yao nodded and said solemnly, "Husband, don't worry, if you need anything, I will definitely support you with all my strength."
……
The next morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, Ye Qing entered the Yuling Cave and began his retreat.
Quietly digesting the insights gained from the Ascension Platform in the Yao Chi Holy Land, as well as the insights obtained from the bloody battle against the Undead.
Ye Qing is now only a thin layer of window paper away from becoming an immortal.
Even standing here, you can touch the clouds of the fairyland with your fingers.
So it didn't take much time to start my retreat at this time, and I made rapid progress.
Ye Qing saw everything in the world and all living beings.
He looked up at the immortals from the perspective of a mortal, and looked down at mortals with the eyes of an immortal.
Various attempts and breakthroughs made Ye Qing feel that he was constantly improving.
During his retreat, all kinds of rumors naturally spread.
Ye Qing razed the Immortal Mountain, left the ancient forbidden area safely, and returned to the Great Chu Dynasty.
At this moment, he is using the opportunities he has plundered from the Immortal Mountain to try to break through to the Immortal Path.
When this news spread, it immediately caused shock among all parties.
Mo Kuangzi and Master Xuankong, who were planning to slaughter monsters in Xizhou, were completely stunned.
After they arranged the plan, they set out and took action at the same time.
Now, the two of them had just slaughtered a demon lord and were planning to slaughter the second one.
As for Ye Qing and Dongfang Liren, they not only killed the three-headed demon king, but also razed an ancient forbidden area and massacred the Immortal Mountain.
It was not until this moment that they finally understood.
Becoming one of the Four Emperors is not Ye Qing’s honor.
Being able to be ranked among the Four Emperors together with Ye Qing is their supreme honor.
……
As the news spread more and more widely, different versions naturally emerged.
Some people claimed to have seen Ye Qing seriously injured and covered in blood when he returned to the Great Chu Dynasty.
Some people say that Ye Qing suffered serious injuries in the Immortal Mountain that he could not disobey, and he will never be able to become an immortal in this life.
Some even said that when Ye Qing returned, he was already in a state of dying and unconscious.
Now his life is hanging by a thread and he is dying.
It was just that the Great Chu Dynasty was worried about causing panic, so it lied that Ye Qing was in seclusion.
This version of the rumor became more and more realistic, and many people believed it.
For a time, rumors spread all over the world.
Some people were worried about Ye Qing's safety, while others silently prayed for Ye Qing.
Of course, there are also people like Linglong Holy Land, who on the one hand hope that Ye Qing will die quickly, and on the other hand, they covet the position of the Four Emperors that will be vacant after Ye Qing's death.
The situation in the world suddenly became turbulent.
But Ye Qing has already gone into seclusion, concentrating on reaching the immortal realm! (End of this chapter)
