The aura of life was slowly recovering.
Li Qingshan had obtained 10,000 years of lifespan.
He began to extend time at a ratio of 10,000: 1.
In the extended time, Li Qingshan prepared a coffin for himself. He lay in it quietly, hands resting on his abdomen, eyes closed, truly like a lifeless corpse.
“Living a second life on the original foundation, the former body can be buried here. To walk out of new life from the ruins of death is not easy,” Li Qingshan thought. Only his consciousness and primordial spirit were active. He cocooned himself, wrapping his primordial spirit within, then gradually became still.
He was nurturing a new self.
As time flew by, returning as a youth remained his hope.
In the extended time, Li Qingshan embarked on the path of self-transformation.
The dozens of divine medicines he obtained continuously provided him with energy, serving as the vessel for new life. With the help of 500 Great Paths, a new self began to slowly emerge.
Time passed like a fleeting horse.
10,000 years were condensed into a single day. When the extended time ended, Li Qingshan’s life completely ended.
From his arrival in the Human World, his cultivation on the Repentance Cliff, his invincibility in the Human World, his battles on the Dimensional Battlefield, his entry into the Immortal Plane, and his rise to fame…
His short life was filled with long memories. At the moment before death, Li Qingshan didn’t cultivate but instead earnestly reflected on this rare opportunity.
Past events flashed through his mind like a lantern show. Many people he had forgotten, now reappeared in his deepest memories.
Things he once cared about, people he once cherished, and items he once valued, in the face of death, many of these seemed insignificant.
Li Qingshan saw Little Fox, Little Nine, A’wei, the Five Ghosts, Hua Xiangrong…
In the final second before life ended, Li Qingshan saw a peerless woman.
Unlike the previous fleeting memories, this woman was real.
In a distant galaxy, a massive flower bloomed, occupying half the sky. At the center of the flower stood a young girl, beautiful as a fairy. Sensing something, her expression changed slightly as she looked up at the starry sky and met Li Qingshan’s gaze.
“Hua Yun…”
In his final thought, Li Qingshan thought of Hua Yun. He never expected that the last person he would see was the one he had been searching for all along.
This time, he saw Hua Yun’s appearance, incredibly beautiful.
Then, the image abruptly ended.
It was replaced by endless darkness.
In the darkness, there was no sky above or earth below, and it was pitch-black, with no sound at all.
Li Qingshan could not hear the wind, the rain, or any voices.
Not even his own voice.
“This must be the state after death,” Li Qingshan thought silently.
He struggled to break free.
Reaching out, he broke through the darkness. His primordial spirit, carrying five hundred rules, continuously struck the darkness.
Finally, he broke through the darkness and emerged.
The renewed primordial spirit, bearing the old 500 Rules, descended into this world once again.
Heaven and earth energy slowly gathered, surging madly at this moment, forming a new body.
Li Qingshan had lived out his second life.
Like a newborn baby, his life was refreshed, and he was born with the power of an Emperor.
After a brief adaptation, Li Qingshan looked at his pure, jade-like skin, circulating the energy within his body. Every strand of energy was clearly visible, and the potential of this new body had reached its maximum. Li Qingshan could clearly feel that his lifespan had increased to three million years.
“Others live a shorter life in their second life, but I have gained an extra few hundred thousand years. Unbelievable,” Li Qingshan said happily.
Looking at the coffin beside him, Li Qingshan buried it by the bamboo hut and erected a tombstone.
The tombstone was blank, with nothing written on it, signifying the burial of his past self.
After doing all this, Li Qingshan relaxed, looking at the sunset, feeling immensely spirited.
“Living a second life with a three-million-year lifespan is enough for me to comprehend the rules thoroughly,” Li Qingshan thought contentedly. With three million years, he felt immensely confident.
“However, just before my first death, I saw Hua Yun.” Li Qingshan reminisced, recalling the vivid image of Hua Yun in his mind.
Reincarnated Hua Yun, even more beautiful, surpassing even the Flower Immortal.
This time, Hua Yun was in a giant flower. Li Qingshan remained convinced that Hua Yun was indeed the reincarnation of the Flower Immortal.
“She isn’t in the Immortal Plane, but in the starry sky, absorbing everything of the Flower Immortal,” Li Qingshan realized.
No wonder he couldn’t find Hua Yun in the Immortal Plane; she was in the stars.
“Knowing Hua Yun is safe, I can rest assured,” Li Qingshan finally felt at ease.
He wasn’t in a hurry to find Hua Yun, preferring to let her absorb the Flower Immortal’s memories. He also needed to comprehend the 3,000 Rules.
After living his second life, he remained in the Emperor Space, continuing to comprehend the Rules.
As before, a day was equivalent to 10,000 years.
In the extended time, Li Qingshan began his long journey of cultivation.
