Entering the Wasteland Continent.
Qin Li found that the steel and concrete of Earth had disappeared.
In its place, there were classical wooden buildings of Yan Xia, with ancient colours and pleasant scenery, and all the cultivators had changed into Han clothes, with a fairy-like aura. And he also saw many white blacks, all reduced to slaves.
Qin Jianshu explained, ”Ever since the Earth restored the scenery of the tenth-order continent and became suitable for cultivation again, the Wasteland Continent has started the retro trend. As for these exotic Kunlun slaves, it seems that they cannot cultivate, and after losing the help of technology, they have been reduced to mere slaves.”
Kunlun Slaves referred to the ancient exotic slaves, this kind of term had disappeared for a long time, and now there was a reappearance.
“I’m not interested in paying attention to this, I just want to go to Yang City!”Qin Li’s face was like solid ice and his voice was like cold snow.
Qin Jianshu wiped a cold sweat and pointed ahead, “Ahead is Yang City, because of the originator, it has been classified as a forbidden land, and very few people have set foot in it over the decades.”
With a flash of recluse light under his feet, Qin Li travelled across a thousand miles and returned to Yang City.
The city remained the same, the streets empty.
The concrete floors had shattered, and flowers and plants grew out of the cracks.
The towering skyscrapers were covered in greenery and draped with vines, and the forest roadside trees also grew rapidly due to the nourishment of aura, tearing up the roads and extending their verdant branches.
It was as if this place was a post-apocalyptic world, humans were extinct, those beautiful balconies were reduced to bird’s nests, a nest of foxes lived in the milk tea shop, and there were a few spotted tigers travelling through the concrete jungle, everything was so natural and harmonious.
“Patriarch, in front of you is your former home, grandmother is buried in it, I will leave you alone.”Qin Jianshu retreated.
Qin Li walked slowly.
Walking through familiar streets, but things were already different.
He also saw the Qiankun Hall, the small medical centre from back then, now deserted and overgrown with many medicinal herbs.
Qin Li smiled faintly as he continued on his way, soon arriving at a sea of flowers, it was the financial district where he lived back then, now it was already in springtime, and the villa stood in the centre.
“Finally home!”Qin Li’s heart trembled, surfacing many memories, the time when he was looked down upon as a flunky, the days when he was bullied by his mother in law, and after ten years of opening his mouth, the years when he cured the sick and saved people ……
Zee-.
Qin Li opens the door and enters the home.
The living room’s furnishings remained the same, except that it was piled with many gorgeous flowers.
And in the midst of all the flowers was an ice coffin, in which Chu Qingyin lay quietly, as if asleep.
She is still that elegant, only more beautiful than before, skin like condensed fat, features absolutely beautiful, a head of green silk such as waterfall, born of the country, perhaps it is the cause of the cultivation, she comes with a dusty temperament. Only now Chu Qing Yin, her face was bloodless, her lips were white, her brows were slightly wrinkled, it seemed that before she died, there were still some important people she hadn’t seen.
“Qing Yin!”
Qin Li could no longer suppress his grief.
He opened the ice coffin and hugged his beloved wife as tears fell like rain.
“Once we parted in Ascension, when we met again, it was already decades later, it’s all my fault for leaving you out in the cold, since I embarked on the path of cultivation, I’ve been separated from you so rarely, and now it’s even more so when life and death are separated forever. Had I known this, why would I have waited in the upper realm, even if I were to be revolted by the power of the world, I would have brought you up.”
Qin Li’s heart was like a knife, he didn’t expect that after saving the world, instead of ushering in the beautiful life he expected, he waited for a nightmare. His daughter and wife had all left, and his favourite wife had also passed away.
“It’s another year of rosy spring, no one is with me to enjoy the flowers, alone and scattered on a desolate land, with no one close to me anymore!”
Qin Li looked out of the window at the splendour of spring, his heart was as sad and bitter as a cold winter.
Suddenly!
“That ……”
The voice of the Doktor Old Devil rang out:
“I don’t want to disturb your poetic pleasure, but your wife isn’t dead!”
“Ah!”
Qin Li’s tears were lost in fear.
He hurriedly touched Chu Qingyin’s heart, which showed no signs of beating:
“Senior, Qingyin is clearly lifeless and has been dead for fifteen years, why do you say she’s not dead.”Qin Li’s eyes showed anticipation.
Old Devil Dokuro explained, “Just take a look at her Divine Court and you’ll understand.”
Qin Li hurriedly probed Chu Qingyin’s divine court.
An ordinary person’s divine court was an endless darkness. Whereas Chu Qingyin’s divine court was one of infinite light.
“How is this possible!”Qin Li trembled, almost unable to believe this scene that defied common sense. If one continued to go deeper, one could see a huge lake on one side, the water of which was greenish-blue and sparkling, with many green-coloured lotus flowers growing and swaying without wind.
“What is this thing, why are there lotus flowers in Qing Yin’s divine court?”
Old Devil Dugu was also shocked, “Divine thoughts are ethereal, whereas Chu Qingyin’s divine thoughts are thick and liquefied, converging into a lake, and giving birth to visions, this is the realm of an Ancient Sage!”
Qin Li delved deeper into the lotus pond and saw a millstone-sized green single-hole lotus in the centre, and on top of the lotus canopy sat Chu Qingyin, immortal and ethereal, proud and flawless, her beauty was unbelievable. Only she was sealed in a piece of ice, falling into a deep slumber.
“Qing Yin’s divine soul, great, she’s fine!”Qin Li was pleasantly surprised and tried to break the ice but was shaken away, “Senior, what the hell is this piece of ice again, why can’t I break it!”
“You can’t break it fast enough.”The Doktor Old Devil sucked in a mouthful of cool air, “This ice is called Immortal Soul Ice, it is the product of the extreme condensation of divine thoughts, and I’ve only heard of this kind of treasure in myths.”
“Cultivators of the heavens, the first enemy, is not much longevity, sometimes when they meet some bad times, it’s simply despairing. However, some unearthly existences would use Immortal Soul Ice to freeze their divine souls and suffer through millions, or even tens of millions of years, as a way to travel to a better era.”
Qin Li’s heart jumped as he listened, “Strange, Qingxue is just a mortal, and her qualifications are strangely poor, so why are there so many divine differences in the divine Court.”
Old Devil Dokuro lapsed into silence.
For a long time!
Solitary Old Devil suddenly said:
“I don’t know the various reasons, but I understand that your family is somewhat extraordinary!”
Qin Li nodded, “I also find it strange that after the Earth expanded, all the lands stretched, but why did Yang City remain the same. Perhaps the Celestial Emperor’s secret lies in Yang City.”
He immediately turned on his celestial sensing, his strength skyrocketed a hundred times because of the lower realm, sensing a range of ten thousand miles, but there was nothing to be found.
“You’re not at a high enough level, it’s better for me to personally find out.”
The Doktor Old Devil displayed his divine thoughts.
A quarter of an hour later!
“I’ve made a discovery.”
The Doktor Old Devil laughed, “Directly below your house, around fifteen hundred feet, there seems to be a tiny spatial crack that leads to a secret realm.”
“There’s actually a secret realm underneath my home!”Qin Li’s heart was on fire as he directly took Chu Qingyin, along with the ice coffin, into his storage bag. It was also fortunate that she was in a state of false death and could enter the storage bag.
Boom!
Qin Li drilled down into the ground.
Soon enough was when he saw the narrow spatial crack.
“I can feel the slightest bit of aura overflowing from it, there must be a secret realm behind it, quickly blast open the crack.”Old Devil Dokuro designated.
“Sunset Divine Bow Strength!”Qin Li used his body as a bow, his large tendons as strings, and his arms as arrows as he blasted out with a mighty explosion, expanding the Spatial Refinement.
Swoosh!
Qin Li leapt in.
Soon, he reached another world.
“This place is so small, there’s actually only one mountain.”The Doktor Old Devil spat.
Qin Li looked around, it was an ordinary short mountain, neither spiritual nor divine. The withered grasses everywhere were mixed with verdure, and the old trees drooped and drew new strips.
“I’ve been to this place before!”Qin Li was horrified and hurriedly raised his head to see that there was indeed a dilapidated Daoist temple at the top of the mountain, which was generally the same as that day in the Wordless Tablet’s illusion.
“We’re close to the truth!”
Qin Li’s eyes narrowed as he took a few steps out and arrived in front of the Taoist temple.
There was a plaque hanging over the door of the Taoist Temple that read “Lotus Flower Temple”. On the left and right sides, a couplet is engraved, talking and laughing about the eternities without beginning or end, and the universe between square inches is empty and boundless.
“I go, what a big mouth, such an arrogant couplet, I’ve lived for so many years and have never seen it, not afraid of being struck by lightning?”Old Devil Dugu couldn’t help but spit out a sigh.
Qin Li whispered, “Senior, don’t talk nonsense, this couplet was most likely written by the Heavenly Emperor.”
“What!”
The Solitary Old Devil’s divine soul was shocked:
“I take back my previous words, this couplet complements the Heavenly Emperor.”
Qin Li shook his head and pushed open the crumbling wooden door, seeing the familiar pool of water with a single hole lotus in it. And beside the appendage, there stood a green-shirted True Immortal, who hadn’t seen his appearance before, but this time he saw it clearly, and it was actually Chu Qingyin’s appearance.
