Li Yuanqing, who had returned to the valley from the Wilderness, began to sign in and accumulate strength again.
After the Blood Moon, the situation in the entire world would definitely change. With the recovery of spiritual energy, there would definitely be more and more Martial Saints in the future. It would even feel like Martial Saints were everywhere.
He, who had sensed the opportunity, had to be at the front to become stronger after this Blood Moon.
In fact, Li Yuanqing had benefited greatly from the Blood Moon that day. His strength had increased very quickly. He already had the strength of a fourth-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator. He was still five levels away from the ninth-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm.
After a Martial Saint entered the ninth-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm, they would advance to the first-grade Spirit Transformation Realm. They would have the strength of the first-grade Formation Arrangement realm after breaking through to the ninth-grade Spirit Transformation Realm.
Currently, most of the people who had entered the Martial Saint realm were first-stage Grotto-Heaven realm. It was already very powerful if there was occasionally a second-stage Grotto-Heaven realm cultivator. However, Li Yuanqing was not careless.
This world where martial artists ran amok was really too big. Who knew how many experts were hiding in the dark?
Moreover, Li Yuanqing had signed in at the ancient ruins and obtained many medicinal pills and treasures. Any one of these things was very powerful, making Li Yuanqing yearn for the experts of the ancient times.
Only by becoming stronger could he deal with the unpredictable world in the future.
On this day, Li Yuanqing signed in at the ruins of the Wilderness Valley.
A voice sounded in his head.
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. Reward: Vitality Reinforcement Pill!]
[Reward 1: 100 Vitality Reinforcement Pill.]
[Reward two: Demon Subduing Palm!]
These Vitality Reinforcement Pills were the things that Li Yuanqing had received the most from signing in recently. He had thousands of them in his hands, so many that he could not even finish them all. He even threw these pills to Hu Jiujiu or Cow.
Therefore, this time, he chose the Demon Subduing Palm without hesitation.
Soon, a Demon Subduing Palm manual appeared in front of him. He touched the manual with his hand. Li Yuanqing did not need to look at it. The contents of the manual appeared in his mind.
This Demon Subduing Palm was also divided into several realms. They were the Rudimentary Understanding, Proficiency, Master, Pinnacle and Perfection. Moreover, one could not practice unless one was at the fourth-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm or above.
Li Yuanqing was in a good mood.
His current strength was at the peak of the fourth-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm and he could break through to the fifth-grade at any time. He was just missing an opportunity!
Li Yuanqing did not stay idle at all after obtaining the Demon Subduing Palm. He immediately started cultivating. For the next few days, he almost forgot to eat and sleep. Soon, he went from the Rudimentary Understanding level to the Proficiency level!
When he entered the Proficiency level, the aura in his body suddenly became ferocious, as if it wanted to vent. This made him run towards the hinterlands of the Wilderness. Moreover, as he ran, the Demon Subduing Palm in his hand slashed towards Yang Mountain, which was the tallest mountain in the hinterlands!
The mountain range that was originally the highest in the Wilderness was sent flying like powder with a slap!
The originally high mountain instantly turned into flat ground. Amidst the rumbling sounds, the highest mountain range in the Wilderness had already turned into flat ground. Countless vicious beasts on the mountain looked at Li Yuanqing in fear like birds startled by the twang of a bow.
Li Yuanqing was probably the biggest nightmare of the vicious beasts that were lucky enough to escape. Furthermore, they would never dare to face him in their lives. He was too terrifying!
With the help of the Demon Subduing Palm, Li Yuanqing easily stepped into the fifth-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm.
The commotion caused by splitting open the Yang Mountain was too great. Soon, the Ba Serpent led a group of vicious beasts over aggressively. However, when it saw that it was Li Yuanqing, it instantly became obedient and even circled him twice.
This Ba-Serpent didn’t know how to speak. If it knew how to speak, it would definitely cheer loudly. In any case, no matter what its master did, he was right!
“Ba Serpent, come with me!” Li Yuanqing waved at the Ba Serpent after he advanced easily. Soon, the Ba Serpent left with Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing felt that it was too convenient to use this huge fellow as a mount! It only took a few minutes to travel from the hinterlands to his residence in the small valley.
He remembered that when he first entered the hinterlands of the Wilderness, even if he was fast, it would take a few days. Moreover, at that time, the hinterlands of the Wilderness were filled with danger. But now it was like his back garden.
He could go anywhere!
This was the benefit of strength!
Not long after Li Yuanqing returned to the Wilderness Valley, Great Empress Zhaoyang requested to see him. This was the first time they had met in the three to four years of Zhaoyang’s reign.
At this moment, Zhaoyang was dressed simply, but there was a hint of worry between her brows. Although she looked like she was only eighteen or nineteen years old because she had also entered the Martial Saint realm.
The worry in her eyes made Li Yuanqing immediately guess that Zhaoyang was in trouble.
“Big Brother, you haven’t changed after so many years. Moreover, I can’t even see through your realm now…”
Zhaoyang bowed to Li Yuanqing. Even though she was already the Empress of the Kingdom, she was still the little sister who needed to be doted on in front of Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing smiled and touched Zhaoyang’s smooth hair.
“Did you encounter another problem?”
“Yes, Big Brother. I’m already the Great Empress now. You can return to the Imperial City at any time. The Imperial Palace is yours to begin with. You can stay there if you want. Us siblings are closer. If there’s anything, we can discuss it!”
Zhaoyang still remembered the oath she made when her brother left the palace when she was young. She had to let her brother return to the palace. Now that she was the Great Empress of the Kingdom, her words carried weight. The Northern Kingdom was hers and her brother.
He could naturally enter and leave the palace as he pleased!
“It’s quieter here. I’m focused on cultivating. It’s actually quite good to live here. There are many vicious beasts in the Wilderness. I can help you keep an eye on them…”
Li Yuanqing was very satisfied with his current state. To him, wealth in the mortal world was nothing.
If he hadn’t promised his father, he might have traveled the world very soon and taken the four seas as his home. He would have gone to see what the world was like instead of hiding in the Wilderness and cultivating non-stop!
“Big Brother, I’m afraid there’s something strange about the Wings Clan. The Northern Kingdom has finally managed to build a foundation. But a Martial Saint has died and a Martial Saint has gone missing, the Northern Kingdom is probably in danger!”
Soon, Zhaoyang told Li Yuanqing the purpose of her trip. She also told him that the original garrison general of the Northern Kingdom, Qin Feng, had also disappeared from the Wings Clan.
It would be best if she could save him and completely resolve the matter of the Wings Clan. However, she heard from her uncle that the Wings Clan was especially powerful. She was very worried and even told Li Yuanqing.
“Big Brother, if the Wings Clan is too powerful, come back quickly. In my heart, your safety is the greatest. Even the Northern Kingdom can’t compare…”
Zhaoyang was different from Li Huanjun. Li Huanjun prioritized the country, but in Zhaoyang’s case, the world was nothing compared to her brother.
She could give up the country for her brother’s safety!
