Chapter 688 – Realm of Cultivation (2/2)

At the same time, he would no longer have any opponents at the second heavenly tribulation, and it would be difficult for people at the third heavenly tribulation to kill him. He would possess the power to protect himself across the nine provinces.

If he could reach the fourth layer with the Phoenix Transformation like he had with the Spirit Turtle Transformation, merge fire and water, and condense a daemon core of interpromoting water and fire, then he would probably reach peak Daemon Commander, giving him the strength to challenge Daemon Kings. If he took another step further, then he would become a true Daemon King. And, he would be one that possessed sixteen innate abilities. By then, he could run amok through the nine provinces freely. He would be able to do whatever he wanted.

And by then, he would have only practised a measly four transformations from the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine—the ox demon, the tiger demon, the spirit turtle, and the phoenix—and he basically would have only progressed through half of each transformation. Probably by the time he burst out of this world and leapt out of the well, he would not have even completed a single transformation. He had no idea whether he would find the opportunity to witness the wonders of the remaining two demonic and divine transformations.

Li Qingshan gazed at the sky. His gaze pierced through the clouds, passing by the moon and stars until it reached a distant region of space. He extended his hand as if he wanted to pick a star from the sky. The corner of his lips curled into a smile.

Ten thousand years? Why would I need that long?

Hua Chengzan rose up from the bottom of the water. When he saw this, he became shocked for some reason. He followed his fingers and gazed out, but all he saw were dark clouds.

What was he looking at? Just what in the sky was drawing him in?

At a limitless height that no one had ever reached, in his heart so deep that even love was unable to influence, his dreams would never rest!

Li Qingshan drew back his arm and looked over with a smile. “How was the talk?”

“The way you looked earlier…”

“What about it?”

“It was admirable and exciting.”

“Hah, I have no interest in men.”

“I feel the same. Thank you. I’ve been wrapped up by this for so long. It’s about time I set off once again.”

Hua Chengzan raised his head and gazed out. After bringing the feelings of love and the feelings of being loved to an end and resolving all of his obsessions, guilt, and pain, could he return to his former glory and reclaim the title of genius?

Of course, there was no point considering the title of the greatest genius. The greatest genius was standing right in front of him. As for the second greatest genius, that did not seem to be particularly likely either. Xiao An held that position firmly. However, apart from the two of them, he believed that he would not lose out to anyone.

He did not say useless nonsense along the lines of “Please take good care of her”. Instead, he clasped his hands and left gracefully.

Li Qingshan returned to the bottom of the lake. Qiu Haitang sat in front of her dresser with her back towards him. She glanced at him through the mirror. “Are you very close with him?”

The lake was very deep, but she was worried, as she could obviously hear them if she eavesdropped carefully. She found the way they spoke to be very special, like close friends.

“I’ve met him a few times, that’s all.” Li Qingshan arrived behind her and brought his hands to her shoulder.

“You sure meet a lot of people.” Qiu Haitang was originally worried he might misunderstand, but seeing how relaxed he was, she instead became very displeased. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll run off with him?”

Li Qingshan smiled. He bent over and whispered into her ear. “You know, earlier when I was outside, I was going crazy with jealousy, but I believed in you.” His messy, scarlet hair mixed with her dark, long hair. She felt a tickle on her neck; she raised her eyebrows, provokingly saying, “If I actually changed my mind and rekindled my former love for him, what would you do?”

“I’d kill him, obviously. If you can’t resolve it, then I’ll resolve it for you.”

“Aren’t you afraid of breaking my heart and becoming hated by me for the rest of my life?” The corner of Qiu Haitang’s eyes rose a little.

“No one can remain heart-broken forever. I think you’re very easy to coax. Compared to being forgotten as a stranger, I think being hated for the rest of your life is a little better.”

“How forceful! I’m not easy to coax at all!” Qiu Haitang bit her lip, but her eyes oozed with happiness.

“Really?” Li Qingshan held her face and leaned over, kissing her on the lips gently. She did not put up any resistance, allowing the tip of his tongue to part her lips and taste her saliva. She even actively responded with her own tongue. Her soft body leaned against him as her voluptuous chest heaved gently.

When their lips pasted, a string of saliva dangled, keeping them connected.

Li Qingshan smiled. “Aren’t you very easy to coax?”

Qiu Haitang turned around. “I want to drink!”

“More drinking?” Li Qingshan smiled bitterly. Although he liked drinking, he had drunk a little too many times today.

“What, you don’t want to?”

“We can drink, but I’ll only accept it in a certain way!”
