192: Chapter 192 Li Qingtian!

"Someone has arrived, we should go and meet them. I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly; they are quite swift."

After saying this, Zhao Changsheng vanished instantly.

When he appeared again, Zhao Changsheng had arrived on a mountain peak about a hundred miles away from his previous location.

At this moment, besides Zhao Changsheng, there was another figure. This figure, dressed in a white robe, was a middle-aged man with a refined and scholarly appearance.

Although the man looked refined, his aura was incredibly sharp and terrifying, like a peerless sword unsheathed, making people afraid to look directly at him, fearing that a single glance might cost them their lives.

The man's cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection of the Late Nascent Soul Stage, only a thin line away from the Soul Transformation Stage.

"Taibai Sword Sect's Li Qingtian. I didn't expect to encounter Li Qingtian of the Taibai Sword Sect, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, here. I am truly honored; I am really honored."

Zhao Changsheng looked at the middle-aged man and directly stated his identity. He was now generally familiar with the Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in the Great Jin Cultivation World, and the middle-aged man before him was indeed Li Qingtian of one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

The Ten Great Immortal Sects were the ten major sects of the Righteous Path. Li Qingtian's reputation in the Great Jin Cultivation World was thunderous and known to all, simply because it took him only four hundred-plus years to advance to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, and now, at over six hundred years old, he had reached the Great Perfection of the Late Nascent Soul Stage. He could be said to be one of the Cultivators in the entire Cultivation World most likely to advance to the Soul Transformation Stage.

To put it bluntly, even Zhao Changsheng might not be able to surpass this person in terms of Aptitude.

Moreover, this person was a Sword Cultivator who once killed five Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the same Realm with a single sword strike—though they were only at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, not the Middle or Late Nascent Soul Stage. As for the Late Nascent Soul Stage, he defeated an veteran Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator from a Demonic Path sect with just one strike. That was a hundred years ago, so no one knew what level his strength and Divine Ability had reached now, but it was certain that he definitely held a place among the strongest beneath the Soul Transformation Stage. This was certain and guaranteed.

What Zhao Changsheng found strange was why this person had come here, and why he knew him. It was precisely because of this person's voice transmission that Zhao Changsheng had been forced to come here.

"Fellow Daoist, you came from the Tiannan Cultivation World; don't you think you arrived a bit too quickly? Or perhaps, should you leave?"

Li Qingtian's words made Zhao Changsheng frown, but then he smiled and said, "What does where I go have to do with you? You shouldn't be meddling here. Furthermore, how did you know my identity and even know my purpose for coming here? This truly surprises me. To be honest, this really surprises me. After all these years, this is the first time I've encountered a guy like you who knows my identity and my purpose; it is truly strange to me. If you tell me the truth now, I might be able to spare your life, let you leave, and let you go back to Cultivate properly. Perhaps, in time, you might successfully advance to the Soul Transformation Stage, and in that case, you would have a chance to undergo Ascension to the Spirit Realm in the future. But if you don't listen, then don't blame me for being impolite; I really will be impolite. Don't think you can get any useful information from me, or that you think you can defeat me. You lack the strength and the ability. I advise you to leave quickly; don't bring humiliation upon yourself. I see that your cultivation has not been easy, so I don't want to attack you or kill you, but that doesn't mean you can be presumptuous in front of me. If you are presumptuous in front of me, what will the consequences be? I think you should know better than me; after all, it's not as if I haven't killed Nascent Soul Cultivators in your Great Jin Cultivation World. I am not a person who cares about sentiment. You should know what I intend to do. Since you already know my identity, you should know what I am here to do, so do not be presumptuous in front of me, talking about irrelevant matters."

Zhao Changsheng's words made Li Qingtian laugh, and then he said, "Actually, I have come here this time primarily because I have a favor to ask, and I hope Fellow Daoist can agree. As long as you agree, I can guarantee that this is something beneficial to everyone, something beneficial to the entire Mortal Realm."

"You want to join me in breaking those ancient Devilish Qi Seals?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changsheng understood Li Qingtian's purpose, and he also understood why Li Qingtian was in such a hurry to find him.

"Fellow Daoist is correct; that is indeed what I mean. I also want to help the entire Mortal Realm break those Seals from the Ancient Era. I have always had this idea, but due to insufficient strength, I have never been able to find like-minded people. Now that I have finally learned of a Cultivator such as yourself, I naturally had to find a way to locate you. Now that I have finally found you, I naturally cannot let this opportunity pass, so I hope you will agree."

"Agreeing to you is naturally no problem, but you should be aware of how great the danger is. To tell you the truth, I also hope to have more friends to get along with, but until now, unless I use violent means to coerce them, getting them to help is pure wishful thinking. Relying solely on benefits is not enough; even if I promise many benefits, it doesn't work. In the face of death, they don't care about those benefits at all; they only think about how to survive. This is also where I feel helpless; I really had no other choice, which is why I used such violent means. Sure enough, under the threat of death, they naturally don't mind helping. Of course, in such a situation, it is very difficult to completely subdue them. But as things stand now, I have no other choice. It can be said that if I had even the slightest other option, I wouldn't have chosen to use such methods. But fortunately, I have managed to consolidate a portion of the forces, at least by integrating the Tiannan Cultivation World and the Chaotic Star Sea together. I assume you must have investigated this clearly, Fellow Daoist; if you hadn't, you definitely wouldn't have come to me. However, I am curious as to how you learned of my existence? This is a very strange matter, and it is very strange indeed. Most importantly, not only are you completely clear about me, but you also found me very quickly—you found me immediately. It is truly a matter that makes me feel strange. If there is no reasonable explanation, I really have no way to believe in your sincerity, because this is just too strange; it truly makes me feel incredulous."

"Actually, it is very simple; I have a connection with the Star Palace. I assume Fellow Daoist Zhao is aware that every one of their Holy Masters comes to Great Jin to Cultivate before breaking through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage. And the previous Holy Master was a friend of mine. However, Fellow Daoist need not worry; I will not avenge them. I know I lack the strength, and it is impossible for me to avenge them. What I care about is being able to, just like you, break the Seals of the current Mortal Realm. Only by breaking those Seals can the Mortal Realm restore the cultivation environment of the Ancient Era; this is a monumental piece of good news for the entire Mortal Realm. As a Cultivator of the Mortal Realm, I must accomplish this no matter what. Even if I have to pay a great price, I must accomplish this, and since your purpose is the same as mine, I naturally had to find a way to locate you. This was not too difficult a task for me. The things you have done these days, although covert, were not without clues to be found. As long as one puts in a little effort and heart, one can naturally find them. This is not too difficult a task; of course, it is also related to my good Luck. My Luck throughout my years of cultivation has always been good. For example, when I was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, I took a Taiyuan Pill and immediately reached the Great Perfection of the Late Stage Foundation Establishment. Subsequently, I obtained a Golden Core Transformation Pill, and after taking it, I successfully formed the Golden Core in just ten years. After forming it, I obtained a Nine-Turn Golden Essence Pill, reaching the Late Core Formation Stage in one fell swoop, and after more than thirty years of bitter cultivation, I successfully formed the Nascent Soul."

"After the Nascent Soul Stage, I obtained a Medicinal Pill that enhances the Nascent Soul Stage from a Demonic Path Cultivator, and after several decades of bitter cultivation, I successfully advanced to the Middle Nascent Soul Stage."

"After reaching the Middle Nascent Soul Stage, I broke into an ancient ruin and obtained a peiying pill within it, thereby successfully advancing to the Late Nascent Soul Stage. Of course, this time it took a bit longer, nearly a hundred years. However, I successfully broke through, which is why I became one of the youngest Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in the entire Cultivation World."

"So my Luck has always been good. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhao is willing to join me in saving the current Mortal Realm."

What Li Qingtian said made Zhao Changsheng feel that this Li Qingtian was the true Child of Luck; it was simply too Heaven-Defying, the kind that was completely unbelievable. However, the other party's identity and background were indeed true, as he had been in Great Jin for so long and naturally understood it. Although this guy had not appeared in the original plot, the original plot was not recorded in too much detail, so Zhao Changsheng was not sure if this guy existed, but he could be certain that this guy before him was indeed very Heaven-Defying. His Luck was so good that it was enviable and outrageous; if he didn't possess the System, he wouldn't even be able to compare with him. Fortunately, there was the System, and that guy Han Li had the little green bottle; otherwise, this guy before him would definitely be a Heaven-Defying existence.

"This guy is too amazing; his Luck is too good. Following him is the type of situation where you can pick up gold the moment you step out the door; I didn't even have this kind of Luck back in my day. If I had his Luck back then, I guarantee I would have already advanced to the Soul Transformation Stage and achieved Ascension to the Spirit Realm. What a pity, it's truly a pity; why didn't I have such Luck?"

"His Luck is truly too good, it's really too good; it's truly enviable. Kid, why don't you just work with him to resolve the situation in the Mortal Realm? That way, it will be good for both him and you, and it will be good for the entire Mortal Realm. I feel this kid doesn't seem to be lying to you; he genuinely wants to cooperate with you. He probably also thinks your Luck is good and feels that the two of you have a strong possibility of cooperation. In that case, it will be good for both him and you."

The Divine Lord's voice rang in Zhao Changsheng's ears, and regarding the Divine Lord's persuasion, Zhao Changsheng began to hesitate.

The Luck of the Li Qingtian before him was indeed very good, and the other party did not seem to be lying, but he really couldn't quite see through him. It wasn't that the plot hadn't included him, but because this person's Luck was just too good—he didn't seem like a normal Cultivator. This guy before him was simply too Heaven-Defying; it was truly incredulous.

"What Fellow Daoist says is indeed very good, and I quite agree, but the most important matter right now is still Kunwu Mountain. To put it bluntly, regarding the current situation, we can only go do other things once the matter of Kunwu Mountain is resolved."

"So, no matter what, we must resolve the matter of Kunwu Mountain, right?"

"As expected, Fellow Daoist still wants the two heaven-reaching spiritual treasures on Kunwu Mountain."

Hearing Zhao Changsheng mention Kunwu Mountain, this Li Qingtian couldn't help but sigh.

"So that's how it is. So you came here to stop me from obtaining the two heaven-reaching spiritual treasures. No wonder, no wonder you took the initiative to come to me; it seems you had planned this long ago, all for the sake of obtaining those two heaven-reaching spiritual treasures. I don't know if this is your plan alone or the plan of a group of people. If it is your plan alone, I will just slaughter you; if it is the plan of a group of people, I will slaughter you all. This is not a difficult task for me. Fellow Daoist should be very clear that, actually, I don't want to go on a killing spree, but it is clear that you have touched upon my taboos. You shouldn't have investigated me in such detail, even digging up my ancestors for eighteen generations. It is precisely because of this reason that I want to slaughter you all; really, I truly want to slaughter you all."

"I never imagined that you would have such thoughts, thinking that you could stop me by using such methods. This is completely an impossible matter; it is simply an impossible thing to achieve. Therefore, I believe you should be clear on this point, so do not do anything futile."

"Even if you do anything else that is futile, you cannot stop what I intend to do; you should be clear on this point."

"So, don't be presumptuous in front of me. If you are presumptuous in front of me, that is not a good thing for you; it is definitely only a bad thing for you, and a purely bad thing at that. The reason I say you are presumptuous is because I see a hint of provocation in your eyes. Obviously, you are not very willing to believe in my strength, nor are you willing to believe that I can slaughter you with a wave of my hand; instead, you want to fight me to see if you can slaughter me."

"Let me tell you one thing: this matter is something you simply cannot do; it is completely impossible to achieve. So I hope you in your next life—no, you won't have a next life. You will be destroyed by me, reduced to Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."
