Li Qingshan had mastered 500 of the 3,000 Rules, with 2,500 remaining.
Each Rule was further divided into six aspects, making the journey to enlightenment a long and arduous one.
Throughout history, no one has managed to integrate all 3,000 Rules into one being.
Li Qingshan was attempting to do just that.
“I wonder what the future holds. The arrival of the Supreme Path, whether it will be a blessing or a curse,” Li Qingshan’s heart was filled with worry. The Supreme Path wasn’t just a challenge for the Immortal Plane but for all worlds in the vast universe. It involved brutal slaughters and fierce battles for opportunities.
One mistake and the probability of death was extremely high.
This was why Li Qingshan was determined to comprehend all 3,000 Rules, arming himself to the teeth. In the current Immortal Plane, with the origin energy diminishing, breaking through to Venerable was impossible. Thus, he aimed to become someone who could contend with Venerables even while still at the Emperor Realm.
Xia Wuji had mentioned that the Kunlun Immortal had slain a Venerable during the assault on the civilization behind the barrier. If the Kunlun Immortal could do it, so could Li Qingshan.
“Comprehending the 3,000 Rules step by step is the true path!” Li Qingshan declared firmly.
He closed his eyes and began his long journey of comprehension.
The current affairs of the Immortal Plane had nothing to do with Li Qingshan, and no one dared to trouble the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court held its ground, and everyone else kept their distance, maintaining peace.
Time passed unnoticed.
In the external world, one day equals 10,000 years in the extended time.
Li Qingshan spent his second life comprehending the Rules.
300 days passed quietly.
In the extended time, Li Qingshan spent three million years.
Compared to his first life, Li Qingshan had become so powerful that he could crush the Immortal Plane with a flick of his wrist.
Yet, he still hadn’t comprehended all 3,000 Rules.
Having comprehended 500 Rules previously, in these three million years, he only managed to comprehend another 500, making Li Qingshan frown slightly upon waking up.
“It seems that as I delve deeper, comprehending more Rules becomes increasingly difficult. The vast will of the Immortal Plane is obstructing my comprehension of all 3,000 Rules,” Li Qingshan pondered.
A world’s structure is led by Rules and the Great Path, combined with other elements, forming a vast universe.
Li Qingshan had already comprehended the 3,000 Great Paths. In understanding the 3,000 Rules, he was equivalent to the entirety of the Immortal Plane.
Thus, the vast will of the Immortal Plane was hindering Li Qingshan. Over three million years, with his maxed-level comprehension, he managed to comprehend 500 Rules.
“The further I go, the harder it gets. Gathering all 3,000 Rules is really not easy,” Li Qingshan realized and sighed.
“But it doesn’t matter. If one life isn’t enough, I’ll use ten lives. I can traverse anywhere in the Immortal Plane, living multiple lives and contending with its vast will,” Li Qingshan thought, undeterred. He stepped out of the Emperor Space.
He first visited the Monster Realm to see little fox, who was diligently learning to control her bloodline and stabilize her transformation.
Li Qingshan had promised the little fox that he would visit her whenever he had time, so before preparing to live his third life, he took some time to visit.
The little fox held the highest status in the Fox Race. Lady Hu took exceptional care of her, treating her with the utmost importance and not daring to offend Li Qingshan. She personally supervised and guided the little fox in her transformation.
The results of the blood extraction were also quite good.
When Li Qingshan arrived, he saw the happy little fox and also saw the Fox Lady who had advanced from an Eight-Tailed Monster Fox to a Nine-Tailed Fox.
She became increasingly beautiful and alluring. Although she didn’t have inherited memories and her bloodline concentration wasn’t as high as that of the previous red fox, she still met the standards of a Nine-Tailed Fox.
Upon seeing Li Qingshan, both the Fox Lady and the little fox were very happy.
The little fox’s happiness was evident; she immediately hugged Li Qingshan’s arm, clinging to him, almost wishing she could hang onto him.
The Fox Lady’s happiness was more restrained. She smiled gently, looking at Li Qingshan with eyes as soft as water. Despite being a Monster Fox, she didn’t act overly seductive towards Li Qingshan. Instead, her demeanor was as elegant as a chrysanthemum, refreshing like a spring breeze, and very touching.
Li Qingshan spent the day with the little fox and also had a brief conversation with the Fox Lady. Without lingering too long, he left the Monster Realm.
The two foxes remained, reluctant to see him go.
Li Qingshan left the Monster Realm and went directly to a Forbidden Land.
In the Immortal Plane, there were many Forbidden Lands like the God Forbidden Mountain.
These Forbidden Lands were marked as inaccessible unless there was a compelling reason to enter.
Everyone knew that there were many treasures in these Forbidden Lands, but to obtain those treasures, one had to have the life to take them.
However, these restrictions did not apply to Li Qingshan.
He swaggered into the Forbidden Land, and all the dangers, sensing a wisp of his aura, became silent and dared not move.
Even the self-sealed old Emperors were shocked when they sensed Li Qingshan’s aura. The momentum of the newly ascended Emperor was like a blazing sun, overwhelming and impossible to look at directly.
In this Forbidden Land, there were many divine medicines, all of which were mature. Li Qingshan collected them one by one, leaving a root for each, and then left.
The sleeping Emperors witnessed this scene, angry but not daring to speak out. Li Qingshan was too terrifying; it was not worth breaking their seals just for the divine medicines.
With dozens of different divine medicines, Li Qingshan returned to the Emperor Space in the Celestial Court.
As before, he planted the divine medicines, stabilizing the Emperor Space and preventing the origin energy from leaking.
Li Qingshan then collected the fruits and began preparing to live his third life.
Having the experience of living a second life, Li Qingshan was confident about this third one.
As usual, he made himself a coffin, lay inside, began elongating time, consuming divine medicines, and lived his third life.
Time passed like a fleeting horse, and in a place unknown to the world, Li Qingshan silently lived another life.
In his third life, he buried his second life next to his first.
Li Qingshan once again gained three million years of lifespan.
But Li Qingshan wasn’t very happy; he even felt a bit melancholic.
“At this rate, how many more lives will I have to live?” Li Qingshan asked himself, and then thought for a moment, realizing he had no answer.
The further he progressed, the harder it became to comprehend the Rules. The Immortal Plane’s will hid 3,000 Rules, making it very difficult for Li Qingshan to find loopholes.
But as Li Qingshan comprehended more, the fewer Rules the Immortal Plane’s will had to hide, making them increasingly hard to find.

The further he progressed, the harder it became to comprehend the rules. The Immortal Plane’s will hid three thousand rules, making it very difficult for Li Qingshan to find loopholes.
But as Li Qingshan comprehended more, the fewer rules the Immortal Plane’s will had to hide, making them increasingly hard to find.
“Take it one step at a time. If it doesn’t work out, there are still several Forbidden Lands in the Immortal Plane.” Li Qingshan comforted himself, knowing that there were still many divine medicines waiting for him in those Forbidden Lands.
