Chapter 147 - 147: I’ll Kill Him! (1)
The sunset in the west and the lingering sunlight resembled blood.
Looking at the central battlefield, Li Qingshan felt a surge of emotions. He felt a sense of regret for the Holy Buddha and the skilled experts who had followed one after another in the past.
They were just one step away from success.
The Holy Buddha, single-handedly holding off twelve Immortals, fought a world-shaking battle. The terror of the Indestructible Golden Body was awe-inspiring, shaking the ages and making the Immortals envious.
If only one more person had assisted the Holy Buddha, the outcome might have been different.
Li Qingshan sighed, “Five thousand years have passed, and everything has faded away with the changing times. Now, the people of the Dimensional
Battlefield are unaware of the events of that time. The title of the Holy Buddha has turned into a stain on the Buddhist sects.”
At this moment, Li Qingshan’s thoughts traversed various matters.
For instance, the current Dimensional Battlefield explicitly forbade humans from becoming Immortals.
This was likely a result of the fear among the Immortals that another Undying Holy Buddha might emerge in the Dimensional Battlefield. They had directly decreed the prohibition of humans becoming Immortals, threatening punishment, and imprisonment in the Boiling Water Prison for violators.
Several hundred years ago, Hua Yun likely harbored the ambition of becoming an Immortal in the Human World, gathering a group of like-minded individuals.
Unfortunately, she was eventually suppressed.
Hua Yun and her younger sister were also separated, and for hundreds of years, they had never reunited.
“To become an Immortal in the Human World, I must surpass even the Holy Buddha.” Li Qingshan’s gaze was resolute. If he wished to inherit the Undying Holy Buddha’s legacy, continuous strength improvement was necessary.
“Let the closed-door cultivation begin. I’ll absorb these 6,435 inheritances, and I’ll undoubtedly become powerful!” Li Qingshan chose not to leave. He halted his cultivation in the mountain col.
People might know about the existence of this stele, but lacking Li Qingshan’s full comprehension, they would gain nothing from observing the stele.
Moreover, after five thousand years, the stele was still here, indicating the Immortals’ indifference, allowing the stele to remain in this location.
Li Qingshan examined the inheritances, uncovering a secret.
The skilled experts who had followed the Undying Holy Buddha back then had already foreseen the doomed nature of their journey. They all erected stele for themselves, leaving a testament even in death.
Among them, only the girl with the colossal sword hadn’t erected one.
She had a beautiful face with a slanting fringe. With a cold, arrogant smile, she exuded extreme confidence, saying, “I wouldn’t die!”
In the mountain col, Li Qingshan created a cave with his fist, a place for his enlightenment and cultivation.
He refrained from venturing outside, paying no attention to the outside world. Instead, he focused on cultivation, carefully perusing each inheritance he had acquired.
Each inheritance represented a short scene, encapsulating someone else’s life.
There was a young man who had just gotten married. He was handsome and proud. He wanted to compete with Heaven Duke. He said to his wife,” Wait for me to come back. I will open a new path to the Immortal Plane for you. There will be no danger or oppression on that path. I will bring you into the Immortal Plane and let you see the scenery of the world together!”
His wife saw him off with tearful eyes. In the end, she embraced him tightly, unwilling to let go, choked with emotion as she whispered, “I’ll wait for your return!”
In the end, the young man broke his promise.
He fought to the end. After the Undying Holy Buddha fell, the young man erupted with powerful strength and sublimated to the extreme. He fought with the injured Immortal and did not fall into a disadvantage. He was dazzling and a lone hero. In the end, he held fast to his ideals and became the last person to die in battle.
At the moment of his demise, the young man gazed in the direction of his wife, his eyes filled with boundless nostalgia and guilt.
His heroic spirit rested here.
All the trials and tribulations came to a close.
The battle at the center of the battlefield had completely ended. The Immortal of the Dimensional Battlefield declared victory, saying that the Dimensional
Battlefield would never be defeated.
On the distant horizon, a woman gazed into the distance, anxiously awaiting her husband’s return, yet no news arrived.
Her husband’s name was Shi Cheng!
Having reached the Immortal cultivation plane, he was just one step away from attaining Immortality in the Human World.
He was also the one who fought until the last moment.
Li Qingshan inspected Shi Cheng’s legacy. In the end, he heard a faint “Sorry! ” Li Qingshan understood that these words were directed at Shi Cheng’s wife.
Li Qingshan sighed. Five thousand years had passed. Shi Cheng’s wife was not talented at that time. It was only because she had known Shi Cheng since they were young that she had taken care of Shi Cheng and protected him. When Shi Cheng was cultivating and adventuring, she had taken care of his mother.
Shi Cheng had vowed to marry her.
In the end, he fulfilled that promise. Despite having numerous admirers due to his outstanding talents and potential for Immortality, Shi Cheng chose to marry his childhood sister.
He also sought various elixirs to elevate his sister’s cultivation level and extend her lifespan.
However, no matter how long her life was extended, she couldn’t live for five thousand years.
This was the reason for Li Qingshan’s sigh. This apology was something he couldn’t convey.
Each time he received a legacy, Li Qingshan witnessed a person with flesh and blood, struggling with ideals, and displaying courage.
It wasn’t a cold technique or a rational Great Path. It was a resolute inheritance, an everlasting hope.
Li Qingshan’s determination to carry on the ideals of these individuals grew stronger.
He watched seriously and cultivated silently. He comprehended the Great Dao and allowed himself to continue to improve.
Time passed by.
Li Qingshan was in the core area of the central battlefield. He was wearing coarse linen clothes, accompanied by the breeze and made friends with the moon.
In just half a year, Li Qingshan’s strength had surpassed the Wanderer cultivation plane, entering the realm of the Longevity cultivation plane.
This was the power of inheritance.
“Longevity cultivation plane involves nurturing a spirit. In each acupoint, a spirit is nurtured to provide combat strength..”
