Chapter 171 After the War! (Seeking Subscription)
In the depths of the war-torn cosmos, the shattered dam, the broken rules, the floating corpses, and the fragmented Fourth World...
All these elements proclaimed the fierce battle that had just erupted in the universe.
Shi Tian's death, his corpse split apart, dealt a significant blow to the people of the Fourth World.
Their patriarch, killed and fallen in the cosmos?
Tian Yi, who was battling the Buddha, saw this and was utterly shaken. He couldn't believe it his trump card, the hope of the Fourth World, the patriarch who returned from the Supreme Path, had been defeated so completely?
At that moment, his mind was in turmoil, revealing a fatal flaw.
In a battle between experts, revealing a flaw was deadly.
Especially when his opponent was the Buddha, once the most dazzling figure of the Immortal Plane.
Even though this was the past life of the Buddha.
It still contained all the experiences and cultivation of the Buddha in the Immortal Plane and this universe.
At this moment, grasping Tian Yi's vulnerability, the Buddha's past self unleashed a brilliant strike.
"Buddha incarnates all things!"
The past incarnation of Amitabha burst forth with boundless light, enveloping the heavens and earth. He reached out and grasped the brightest ray of light, transforming it into a sharp blade, which he then plunged with fierce precision.
A single ray of light pierced Tian Yi's primordial spirit, causing his body to tremble violently. On the outside, there was no visible injury, but internally, his primordial spirit had been punctured.
"Buddha, you've killed!" Tian Yi gasped for breath, panic overtaking his heart he was going to die.
He had lived for millions of years, ruling the Fourth World, and suppressing the Immortal Plane. In this universe, if Shi Tian didn't appear, he was the most powerful.
Power and authority were his delight.
But now, with death approaching, he stared at Amitabha Buddha's past incarnation with longing in his eyes.
He yearned for mercy.
"My Buddha is compassionate but also possesses the wrath of Vajra. You are the first person I have killed," Amitabha said softly, watching Tian Yi slowly fall, his expression unmoved.
Tian Yi smiled bitterly, accepting the inevitable, and then closed his eyes for the final time, never to open them again.
The downfall of the Fourth World had begun.
The demise of Shi Tian and Tian Yi shattered the morale of the Fourth World's experts, leading to their defeat, flight, and eventual death.
At that moment, the Fourth World began its extinction.
Li Qingshan, witnessing the scene, remained unmoved. He was calm, understanding that this battle, regardless of the victor, spelled doom for the losing side.
Fortunately, they had won.
Li Qingshan turned his gaze towards the distant Flower Immortal-Hua Yun.
Among the sea of flowers, Hua Yun, a maiden with a gentle smile, also looked towards him.
Suppressing his immense aura and returning to his usual demeanor, Li Qingshan approached Hua Yun.
Gazing at her delicate features and serene smile, countless words welled up within him but ultimately condensed into a simple phrase. "Long time no see."
Hua Yun nodded gently, her voice sweet and soft, "This is my first time meeting you."
"Did I live up to your expectations?" Li Qingshan asked confidently.
Hua Yun shook her head slightly, looking at Li Qingshan with a gaze full of wonder. "Who would have thought that just decades ago, you were merely an ordinary person in the Human World?" Even she hadn't expected it.
Hua Yun looked at Li Qingshan curiously, amazed by his transformation.
"Are you still the same young man from the Human World?" Hua Yun asked.
Li Qingshan looked at the beautiful woman before him and replied softly, "I left the Human World and searched for you for a long time, through the Immortal Plane, the God Realm, until finally, in the Western Lands, I learned about you."
Hua Yun gazed at Li Qingshan, sighing softly, "I was imprisoned at first. During a turmoil, I awakened my memories and was subsequently guided by the power of my past life to the Starry Sky. I have not been in the Immortal Plane since. All these years, I have been here, integrating with my previous life."
Li Qingshan immediately asked, "Then, are you still Hua Yun?"
"The Hua Yun I knew?"
"That Hua Yun with whom I made a twenty-year promise?"
Li Qingshan looked at Hua Yun with unwavering determination and deep affection. He needed an answer.
From the Human World to the Immortal Plane, he had been searching for Hua Yun, driven by his commitment to that promise.
Now that he had found her, he had to know the truth, no matter what.
Hua Yun met his gaze and nodded gently, saying, "I remember a fool who boldly approached me and made some twenty-year promise."
Li Qingshan blushed with embarrassment. Indeed, he had never experienced love and had always been straightforward in his actions.
Hua Yun smiled warmly and said tenderly, "But, I quite liked that impulsive young man.'
"
Li Qingshan's heart leaped with joy. He stepped forward and embraced Hua Yun tightly.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Hua Yun, caught off guard, widened her eyes. Then, seeing that Li Qingshan made no other move, she heard him whisper in her ear, "I finally found you. Twenty years have passed. Please forgive me."
Hua Yun, held tightly in Li Qingshan's arms, felt her heart soften. She wrapped her arms around him and said gently, "I'm sorry for making you search for so long."
Li Qingshan shook his head, saying nothing. He simply held her close, his gaze fixed on the distant starry sky where the battle was steadily turning in their favor. His heart was at ease.
The problems in the Immortal Plane were resolved. He had broken through to the Venerable realm, and he had found Hua Yun, fulfilling his promise.
Everything was falling into place.
Holding Hua Yun, Li Qingshan savored a moment of tranquility.
Not far away, the Primordial Heavenly Demon watched the embrace between Hua Yun and Li Qingshan. A trace of melancholy flickered in his eyes.
"You are not her," he sighed inwardly, filled with a sense of wistfulness.
Hua Yun was the reincarnation of the Flower Immortal. But she wasn't the Flower Immortal.
Throughout the ages, flowers bloom and wither. One flower fades, and another blossoms.
The flower that was the Flower Immortal had withered. Now, Hua Yun, this new bloom, flourished.
Hua Yun was the Flower Immortal, having inherited everything from the Flower Immortal.
But Hua Yun was not the Flower Immortal; she was an independent being with her own new emotions.
This was reincarnation.
No one remains eternally unchanged; each life carries its unique feelings and experiences.
The Primordial Heavenly Demon loved the girl from his era, the one who was resilient and strong.
Even though that girl eventually followed Amitabha onto the Supreme Path, he still cherished those feelings.
For the Primordial Heavenly Demon, having experienced such a deep emotion in this lifetime was enough.
"Teacher, you seem very sad," a bright and lovely face appeared beside the Primordial Heavenly Demon, asking softly.
It was the Primordial Heavenly Consort, known to Li Qingshan as the Demonic Divine Concubine.
She turned out to be a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Demon, not the consort as everyone had thought.
The Primordial Heavenly Demon looked at the Divine Concubine with a calm smile and said, "Now that the troubles in the Fourth World have been resolved and the dam besieging the Immortal Plane has been broken, everything I cared about has been let go. Now, it's just you left."
The Divine Concubine looked at the Primordial Heavenly Demon playfully and said, "If it's just me left, then take care of me for a lifetime."
"Someone else is taking care of you now. As your master, I should let go. Aren't you planning to introduce me to someone I haven't met yet?" teased the Primordial Heavenly Demon, glancing towards Chu Xiangyu, who had reached the Venerable Realm.
The Divine Concubine blushed and nervously replied, "There's nothing between us..."
"If you like him, be bold. Although our lives are long, often we unknowingly bid farewell to many people for the last time," lamented the Primordial Heavenly Demon.
"Go ahead, bring him to meet me. I'll speak with him for a bit, and then I'll leave," said the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

"Continue to seek my Path, awaiting the appearance of the Supreme Path. Last time, I didn't enter the Supreme Path, but this time I must go. I have only one obsession now I must meet the Buddha!" declared the Primordial Heavenly Demon firmly.
With the issues in the Immortal Plane resolved, he could let go of his attachment to his homeland.
With the Divine Concubine's lifelong matter settled, he could detach himself from his feelings towards his disciple.
As for the reincarnation of the Flower Immortal, Hua Yun, though she was now a flower and not blossoming in the same season, he hadn't let go of her but kept her pressed within his heart.
In the end, he was left with only one obsession.
To walk the Supreme Path.
To meet the Buddha!
The Buddha, born in the same era as him, Buddha and Demon, the two great wonders of the Immortal Plane. The Path they pioneered, the Dao they established, would continue for thousands of years. In the future world, they would still exist. This was his lifelong rival, his confidant.
Seeing this, the Divine Concubine shyly called Chu Xiangyu to come and meet the Primordial Heavenly Demon. S~ealth the novelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Li Qingshan and Hua Yun smiled at each other when they saw this scene.
Li Qingshan felt quite emotional.
The current Divine Concubine did not recognize him.
The Li Qingshan who had released the Divine Concubine in the Human World back then and the present Li Qingshan were like night and day, essentially two different people. The Divine Concubine couldn't possibly remember him.
Since she didn't remember, Li Qingshan didn't mention it either, letting that past event remain buried in history.
After watching Chu Xiangyu communicate briefly with the Primordial Heavenly Demon, who then disappeared on the spot, leaving the Divine Concubine lost in melancholy, Chu Xiangyu reached out and embraced her.
Li Qingshan walked over and looked at Chu Xiangyu, asking, "We must have met before, haven't we?"
Chu Xiangyu looked at Li Qingshan upon hearing this, then nodded gently, saying, "After General Bai's death, you took him back to his hometown and buried him there. I have seen you."
"Why didn't you intervene to save him?" Li Qingshan asked curiously.
"I don't watch over him every moment. I've been focused on breaking through in my cultivation most of the time. By the time I realized something was wrong, it was already too late to intervene," sighed Chu Xiangyu.
"Does the Fourth World have a Spring of Life?" Li Qingshan asked.
"I've heard of it," Chu Xiangyu pondered.
Suddenly, Hua Yun spoke up, "The Fourth World should have a Spring of Life. It was brought back from the Supreme Path by Shi Tian. It has allowed him to maintain his peak state for so long; the Spring of Life is crucial."
"Then let's search carefully. I also want to resurrect someone," Li Qingshan immediately declared. He was determined to bring back General Bai and Taoist Dragon.
If Taoist Dragon could see the current state of the Celestial Court, he would surely smile happily. His lifelong dream had been fulfilled by Li Qingshan after his death. "Let's split up and search. The Spring of Life should be relatively easy to find," Chu Xiangyu said, taking the Divine Concubine with him as they entered the Fourth World.
Li Qingshan and Hua Yun also descended into the Fourth World together, in search of the Spring of Life in this new world.
