Heavenly Path Sect.

Grand Meeting Hall.

A few top elders were discussing something with cold and cruel expressions.

“All, I just received the news that the Elder of Inheritance from the Yuhua Sect has passed away,” the Heavenly Path Sect Leader said, holding the confidential letter he had just received. Then, scoffing coldly, he asked, “What thoughts do you all have?”

“Does it still have to be said?”

“Attack directly and destroy the Yuhua Sect!” an elder with a hot temper said excitedly, hitting the table.

“Good point,” another elder agreed. “The only pillar of the Yuhua Sect has fallen. We do not need to worry about hurting ourselves anymore. Naturally, this is a great time to destroy the Yuhua Sect.”

“The Elder of Inheritance is the only one from the Yuhua Sect that makes us feel intimidated and can drag us to death as well. The other figures of the Yuhua Sect are not worth mentioning. Now that the Elder of Inheritance has accidentally died, it is like a gift from heaven for the Heavenly Path Sect.

Therefore, defeating the Yuhua Sect is imperative!”

“Ever since we started sanctioning the Yuhua Sect, they have turned to the side of the Demonic Sects. The Yuhua Sect kept interacting with them over these three years, provoking the Heavenly Path Sect everywhere. We must teach them a hard lesson.”

“The death of the Elder of Inheritance will be the straw that breaks the Yuhua

Sect’s back. The Yuhua Sect always says they have a special destiny and that

their heritage has never been interrupted. They always want to return to

the top and suppress the Heavenly Path Sect. This time, we will make the Yuhua Sect’s heritage go extinct!”

“Sect Leader, please issue the order. Without the Elder of Inheritance, the Yuhua Sect is like a ship without a captain, losing its direction at sea. It’s not even worth mentioning.”

All of the Heavenly Path Sect elders were cold and cruel. They all thought they should grasp this opportunity to destroy the Yuhua Sect.

Seeing this scene, the Heavenly Path Sect Leader’s lips curled. “You all want to destroy the Yuhua Sect,” he said. “Who will take the lead?”

“Sect Leader, we recently have a new genius in the Heavenly Path Sect,” an elder brought up. “He is not yet 100 years old but has already reached the peak of the Great Venerable Plane. Therefore, he can destroy the Yuhua Sect.”

“Sect Leader, Elder Tian Qingzi, indeed, can do it.”

“Elder Tian Qingzi has been cultivating hard in the Heavenly Path Sect and is not well-known in the outside world. He has never cared about titles or fame, but now is the time for him to contribute to the sect. He could lead a group of 20 Great Venerables, and it would be more than enough to destroy the Yuhua

Sect.”

“Elder Tian Qingzi is indeed the most suitable choice. Let him defeat the Yuhua

Sect and shoot to fame with this one battle, spreading the glory of the

Heavenly Path Sect.”

The elders all nodded once again. They believed that the leader to destroy the Yuhua Sect should be the Heavenly Path Sect’s most successful figure in recent history—Elder Tian Qingzi.

The Heavenly Path Sect Leader considered this suggestion seriously.

He also agreed with it deep down.

“Since everyone recommends Elder Tian Qingzi, he will lead this time. Gather 20 Great Venerables and attack the Yuhua Sect together. Declare the strength of the Heavenly Path Sect and protect the dignity of the righteous sects! Any sect who conspires with the Demonic Sects will be completely destroyed,” the Heavenly Path Sect Leader said righteously.

The other elders nodded in unison.

In their eyes, the Yuhua Sect without the Elder of Inheritance was not a match for Elder Tian Qingzi and the 20 other Great Venerables.

“The Yuhua Sect with an uninterrupted heritage will be destroyed in the hands of the Heavenly Path Sect.” The Heavenly Path Sect Leader looked coldly into the distance, feeling proud inside.

Yuhua Sect.

Mountain peak of the Elder of Inheritance.

Similar to Li Qingshan’s Repentance Cliff, the mountain peak of the Elder of Inheritance was also devoid of people.

Of course, no one wanted to go to Repentance Cliff, while the Elder of Inheritance would not let anyone enter his mountain.

The person who had spent the most time on this peak recently was Little Nine.

During those months, Little Nine taught the Immortality Method to the Elder of Inheritance.

Then the Elder of Inheritance tried countless times in the three years to break through the Saint Pass and the shackles of the world. But unfortunately, he never succeeded.

The death of the Elder of Inheritance made everyone in the Yuhua Sect panic.

The only reason they did not fall apart was that the upper level of the Yuhua Sect was united due to the Immortality Method.

Otherwise, the Yuhua Sect would have fallen into chaos even without the Heavenly Path Sect’s attack.

After collecting the Elder of Inheritance’s corpse, the mountain quieted down again. There was no one here.

No one noticed that Li Qingshan had come here from Repentance Cliff.

He strolled casually and took in everything on this peak. Then, he closed his eyes to sense it.

“This place is indeed different from other places,” Li Qingshan said to himself.

“There are signs everywhere of the dangers and difficulties when the Elder of Inheritance tried to break through.”

He could sense signs of the Great Path bursting forth everywhere on the mountain peak.

His physical body could not see any traces on the mountain. It was like the Elder of Inheritance had slept and never woken up.

But when Li Qingshan closed his eyes, his soul at the Great Venerable Plane permeated this mountain. He could see clearly that there was damage to the mountain everywhere.

These damages were the marks left behind by the Great Path bursting forth.

It was when the Elder of Inheritance tried to break through the shackles of the world and use the Great Path he had comprehended to hack down on the chains over the Saint Pass.

Unfortunately, he had failed.

“The shackles of the world are not so easy to break. The Saint Pass is different from 3,000 years ago because it is locked. But who put on the lock?” Li Qingshan pondered with a frown.

He walked to where the Elder of Inheritance had made the breakthrough.

Li Qingshan sat down there.

He combined himself with the Elder of Inheritance’s mindset as he had broken through and started comprehending slowly.

The Elder of Inheritance had just died. However, the marks created when he had broken through were still there.

Li Qingshan could sense everything he had felt during the breakthrough. With a boom, pounding comprehension poured into his soul. Then, like a broken dam, it flooded for thousands of miles without a stop.

Li Qingshan felt what the Elder of Inheritance had felt.

Like a blade of grass breaking through the soil, he breathed the new air, saw a new world, and possessed vigorous vitality. He grew with all his might, squeezing past the restraints of the soil and rocks to show his body. This was what it felt like to break through the shackles of the world.

But before Li Qingshan could feel joy…

What followed, after experiencing the exuberant life, was a sudden fall. The grass quickly wilted and returned to the soil.

Life and death cycled through in a short instant. The grass underwent shocking changes.

Originally, it went from death to life and saw hope. But in an instant, it went from life to death, and everything wilted.

Li Qingshan sensed all of this with a frown. He could fully feel the Elder of Inheritance’s despair at the time.

He had already crossed over the shackles of the world and saw the light of the Saint Plane. But before he could rejoice, the light was extinguished.

It was no wonder he had cursed the heavens.

Li Qingshan could sense clearly that the Elder of Inheritance had used his own Great Path to chop the shackles of the world. But, even though it had some effect, he still could not break apart the chains in the end.

“Why is the Saint Plane locked up?” Li Qingshan opened his eyes. He was unwilling to get up as he thought deeply.

This was deeply related to him.

Because he had reached the Great Venerable Plane, he was only in the First Heaven, but with Li Qingshan’s cultivation speed, reaching the Ninth Heaven was only a matter of time. He would have to face the shackles of the world sooner or later.

“Forty years ago, how had senior Wu Shaobai comprehended a shred of the Saint Plane before his death?” Then, thinking back to his last meeting with Wu Shaobai a few years ago, Li Qingshan fell into deep thought..
