Ah Fei stood to the side with a face full of grievances, but he could also tell that Li Changqing was in a bad mood, so he obediently lay down at the side.
At this mont, Li Changqing went to the edge of the cliff and looked down. It was midday now, but below it was still pitch black.
It seed like an abyss with no bottom in sight.
"Go down."
Li Changqing said to Ah Fei.
Ah Fei quickly ran over, then took Li Changqing and flew down.
The valley was very deep. It took quite a while to finally reach the bottom, and when they got there, Li Changqing discovered that below was actually a very rapid river.
The flow of the river was extrely fast. The rumbling sound echoed throughout the valley. Li Changqing looked in the direction of the river, then sent his Divine Soul to the bottom, trying to search for any trace of Li Hengsheng.
But just as the Divine Soul entered the riverbed, Li Changqing was startled. With a move of his Divine Thought, a skeletal remains flew out of the river.
"It scared ."
Looking at the skeleton, Li Changqing casually threw it away. He subconsciously thought it was his son who had drowned in there, but upon careful consideration, it seed unlikely. Even if his son died, it couldn’t have turned into bones so quickly, right?
There was also another point: his son’s body held his Painting Treasure. If he really died, he would have sensed it.
Continuing to follow the river, he flew several miles out when Li Changqing’s eyebrows suddenly raised.
It seed he had found sothing.
Li Changqing raised a finger, and instantly, there was a loud explosion on the river’s surface. A long spear flew directly out and, with a whoosh, landed in Li Changqing’s hand.
"Immortal-Extinguishing Spear."
Looking at the spear in his hand, Li Changqing recognized it as Li Hengsheng’s spear.
Since the spear was here, it indicated that his son should not be far away.
Li Changqing’s Divine Soul dispersed again, but at this mont, he suddenly found that his Divine Soul couldn’t expand beyond five hundred ters.
It seed to be restricted by sothing.
"Brother Changqing, co up and have a sit."
At this mont, a voice ca. The voice seed to co from the high heavens, with an ethereal quality that had an entrancing feeling.
Li Changqing looked up and found that there was a figure sitting there on the mountaintop, smiling and waving at him.
Upon seeing this person, despite the change in clothing, Li Changqing still recognized him.
It was Elder Luo, whom he had t previously in Changting Town.
Seeing this, Li Changqing had Ah Fei take him up.
On the peak, the orioles were flying and the grass was growing. Li Changqing saw a stone table in front of Elder Luo, with a small stove, and a pot of hot tea on it, gently steaming.
"Please sit."
Elder Luo said with a smile to Li Changqing.
"It’s been more than half a year since I last t Brother Changqing." Elder Luo poured a cup of tea for Li Changqing: "Now eting again at the National Guardian Mansion is truly fate."
"So should I call you Elder Luo, or Sect Leader Luo Xiaochuan of the Mountain Ancient Land?" Li Changqing also sat down.
"Either is fine."
Luo Xiaochuan waved his hand: "It’s all the sa. Elder Luo is , Luo Xiaochuan is also . Only that when I t Brother Changqing before, I was indeed Elder Luo. But strictly speaking, this is the first ti Luo Xiaochuan is eting Brother Changqing."
"I can feel it." Li Changqing nodded: "I’ve heard that Sect Leader Luo’s cultivation thod is quite unique. Before entering the world to cultivate, you forget all about yourself, wholeheartedly wandering the world, telling fortunes and helping people, forgetting your identity as the sect leader of Mountain Ancient Land, and improving your cultivation with a mortal heart. Such a thod really is rather unconventional."
"Unconventional it is not." Luo Xiaochuan shook his head: "In this world, there are many peculiar ways of cultivation. To surpass mortals, one must shed mortal thods; otherwise, one remains trapped in the heavens and cannot break through. The path of cultivation, the first part is walked on paths others have cultivated, but ultimately, one must rely on one’s path to reach the other side."
"It seems Sect Leader Luo has already walked out his path." Li Changqing said with cupped fists: "I have yet to congratulate Sect Leader Luo on breaking through to the realm of terrestrial immortals."
Luo Xiaochuan smiled gently, without speaking. He just raised his teacup and said: "Tea."
But Li Changqing remained still, quietly saying: "Sect Leader Luo, I vaguely sense that in this Cangyuan Realm, many major events are slowly unfolding. I wonder what role Sect Leader Luo plays in these significant events? And what does it have to do with my son Li Hengsheng?"
"Or rather, is this grand sche not only involving my son Li Hengsheng but even pulling into it?" Li Changqing asked earnestly.
Luo Xiaochuan did not rush to answer.
He took a sip of tea, then, contemplating for a mont, said: "Brother Changqing, what role do you think you play?"
"I do not know." Li Changqing said: "I don’t wish to be a chess master, nor do I want to be soone else’s pawn. I just want to live my own simple life. I’ve always thought this way."
"How unfortunate." Luo Xiaochuan said helplessly: "If you don’t beco a chess master, you can only beco a pawn. There’s no avoiding it. You asked what role I play, but I can’t say. This is destined by the heavens, and I’m currently striving to break free of this fate."
"Break free from fate?" Li Changqing pondered: "You, who deduce all things, are supposed to believe in destiny. Perhaps the saying ’man triumphs over heaven’ doesn’t suit you."
