Chapter 1335: After Founding Your Kingdoms, Ascension is Prohibited

Li Qingshan listened to their explanations and could not help but sink into his thoughts. In particular, what Xiao An said affected his path of cultivation.

His human bloodline was unable to rival any of his bloodlines of the demonic or the divine, but strangely enough, he did not become a pure daemon. He maintained a human part.

The stronger the cultivation methods were, the more they repulsed one another. The strength of the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine went without saying. Even the cultivation methods it involved repulsed one another. The demonic and divine clashed while fire and water rejected one another, yet it never repulsed his human cultivation method.

From the Innate Method of Practising Qi in the very beginning to the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Destruction now, he had managed to practise all of them perfectly fine. Sometimes, they would even influence the balance between the demonic and divine instead. Now that he thought about it seriously, it really was extremely strange.

Even if he were a remarkable genius of startling talent, he would have to rack his brain and temper himself arduously in order to pave a path like this!

But in reality, he had made it to where he was right now in such a natural way, basically encountering no issues in this aspect.

The only explanation was that the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine had left his human cultivation method with plenty of room for development, and then he considered the fact that only eight transformations had appeared in the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine so far. The ninth was nowhere to be seen in his sea of consciousness. The answer seemed to be calling out to him.

Even if he was still uncertain, there was definitely a great connection between the two, so he definitely could not give up on the path of human cultivation.

That way, the Human realm truly was the optimal choice. It was unlike the five other realms. Whether it was the good or the wicked, daemon or ghost, they could all thrive in the Human realm without worrying about any rejection from the will of the heavens.

Of course, they could forget about fawning up to the heavens as well. There was truly only humanity, not the heavens.

That was the home base of humans. Humans had never managed to reach a perfect agreement, so the so-called humanity was also a chaotic, unclear thing, far more unpredictable than the heavens.

On the surface, it was order and righteousness, but it often conflicted with itself. The most wicked and the most holy existed simultaneously within the same race or even in an individual’s heart.

“I have to admit that you do raise a solid point. But what do you mean by Si Long’s inheritance?”

Gu Yanying said, “It’s very likely for the other end of the Heaven Climbing Vine to be connected to Si Long’s dwelling.”

Li Qingshan nodded. “That’s reasonable.”

With how vast the Human realm was, it was impossible for Si Long to scour the entire place for the Heaven Climbing Vine. He must have created some kind of marker, and it definitely would not be located in the wilderness either. To cultivators, nowhere gave them a better sense of safety than their dwellings.

Since he had tried to refine the nine provinces into a blessed land of cultivation, it made perfect sense for the Heaven Climbing Vine to lead there.

Rāhu Xiaoming asked, “Then can you get the Heaven Climbing Vine to find that anchor again?”

“No problem!”

He was the god of the world after all. On top of that, more than half of the World of the Five Continents originally belonged to the nine provinces. It could even be described as a new nine provinces, so the connection had not been completely severed.

“But he’s a disciple of the Myriad sect. If his master is taking part in this, then once we head over, we’ll be walking right to our doom. Heh, it should be a Human Immortal at the very least, or even a True Immortal!”

Rāhu Xiaoming smiled. “Of course, that’s a possibility, so we plan on sending you up first. If you get finished off, then we’ll break up and that’s the end of that.” Then he became serious. “But I don’t think this matter is of any great value to immortals. Even Si Long himself has already managed to make it so far with this matter. He could clearly take the world for himself, so why would he find an old man and split most of his fruits with him?”

“If he really did have powerful reinforcements behind him, then he definitely would have sought help from the Human realm when he was on Dragonshead mountain, but he did not do that. According to my speculation, he should have been alone in this matter, but it’s possible that others knew about this too. As a result, if Si Long died, his life lamp in the sect would be extinguished, and we definitely can’t go forward with this. As a mighty Human Sovereign, he’s a figure of some significance no matter where he is. However, since he’s still alive, we can give it a try.”

Li Qingshan’s eyes shone brighter and brighter as he listened along. If Rāhu Xiaoming’s deductions were correct, then they would obtain a dwelling for free the moment they entered the Human realm. That was the dwelling of a Human Sovereign that had undergone the fifth heavenly tribulation. Just the benefits it brought to cultivation could be no less than becoming chosen by the heavens in the Daemonic Beast realm.

Perhaps there might even be some pills or powerful arcane treasure. These items were what humans were most skilled at wielding and utilising. There was no other race better at using external items than them. Even without being chosen by the heavens, they could still make use of everything available in the world.

He glanced past the three of them. “You’ve considered all of this beforehand already, haven’t you?” As it was commonly said, the truth lay in the hands of the minority, so the worst situation possible was not knowing the truth while still being the minority. However, being in a team of people all better than him was still better than being stuck with a group of deadweights.

Gu Yanying smiled. “You’ve been thinking about how to create the world all this time, so how can you spare the time to think about a trifle like this?”

Xiao An said concisely, “This world is extremely important.”

“Of course!”

Li Qingshan had not gone to such great lengths just to save the living creatures or play a sandbox game.

Right now, he had already ordered Navy Li’l Fatty to fly to the nearest star from the nine provinces. As long as it continued to devour, the growth of the World of the Five Continents would be limitless. In the future, it would definitely become the most important trump card in his possession.

In order to carry out this great strategy, he had to make the World of the Five Continents as perfect as possible so that the various living creatures introduced from various other worlds could live and thrive very well.

“We’re a team. We just have different work to do. Though, even after all this, there are still risks. Whether you want to take the gamble or not is up to you to decide!”

Rāhu Xiaoming smiled. He already knew the outcome of that. A Li Qingshan who was afraid of taking risks was not truly Li Qingshan.

“Of course, I’ll take the gamble! With risk comes reward!” Li Qingshan waved his hand heartily before saying mysteriously, “And I have a method of sure success There won’t be any danger at all.”

“Hopefully!” Rāhu Xiaoming smiled. He made no comment.

Gu Yanying said, “Oh right, there’s something else. We all possess far too many secrets. Whether it’s Xiaoming’s identity or Xiao An’s Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, including the matters regarding Su Mirao, Si Long, and so on, absolutely none of it can be divulged.”

Rāhu Xiaoming curled his lip. “The troubles that can be brought by those who are connected to the two of you might be even larger than what you speak of!”

“Yes. If any of them enter the six realms, it’s very likely for them to use this information to exchange for resources. At the very least, they won’t go out of their way to keep this a secret for us, so…”

Li Qingshan smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ve already anticipated that.”

Before long, under the lead of the Featherfolk and Merfolk, the otherfolk rebuilt their divine kingdom and began their first assembly. The Featherfolk King Li Fengyuan served as the first consul. The otherfolk all accepted him too. After all, he was part of a noble race that stood on par with the Dragon clan.

Many great cultivators and Daemon Kings had been invited to attend the celebration ceremony. The highest consul, Li Fengyuan, and the Merfolk Queen, Gong Yuan, mutually announced at the ceremony that they would be sealing off the skies and the oceans. In the future, if other races wanted to enter the divine kingdom, they had to make an application and receive permission. Otherwise, it would all be viewed as intrusion.

By now, Gong Yuan had completely united the Merfolk, becoming the second greatest race that stood neck-and-neck with the Featherfolk. It was rumoured that she received the secret support of Li Qingshan. Actually, Li Qingshan had not directly interfered with anything at all. He only personally constructed a Crystal palace for her. As the most powerful branch of Merfolk, the Merfolk of the South sea did indeed possess that right.

A certain queen of the night roamers expressed intense envy and jealousy, completely regretting the fact that she did not tie up Li Qingshan in bed and do the good deed back then.

In short, the announcement received the fervent support of all otherfolk. After thousands of years of drifting around without a home, they had already grown sick of coexisting among humans and daemons.

By now, countless conflicts had already occurred between daemons and humans, primarily because the human cultivators plundered livestock in a hysterical frenzy. Later on, they basically took whatever living thing they could get their hands on, whether it were lions and tigers or rats and toads. They caught whatever they saw, even uprooting a few large trees.

It was rumoured that a pig daemon that had not even undergone a heavenly tribulation had led to an intense conflict between cultivators. It even caused internal strife, costing the lives of several people. It was all because they wanted to bring it back as the main boar for breeding.

There was originally no sense of unity among the daemons, but they gradually showed signs of banding together under this pressure, beginning a counterattack. They obviously gave their fierce support for the otherfolk’s plan to lock out foreigners. If humans could just stay on their own continent obediently, that would be perfect.

The original King of Souther Yue, Qian Lingzhi, also announced he would be founding a kingdom. His face was filled with kind and friendly smiles, expressing that he hoped to strengthen the exchange with the otherfolk’s divine kingdom so that they could mutually prosper. It would also defuse the situation with the daemons, mutually benefiting them.

One thing worth mentioning was the World’s society in the central continent had also sent an envoy to participate in the ceremony. Their leader happened to be Li Qingshan’s son, Li Guinian. Faced with the brand new world where Soul Nascences were commonplace and Golden Cores were worthless, the original inhabitants really had no idea whether to celebrate or mourn.

It was quite easy to see that the undercurrents of the new world would not settle down so easily.

At this moment, Li Qingshan suddenly descended with a declaration, which kicked up colossal waves.

“After founding your kingdoms, ascension is prohibited.”
