"By the way, Grandpa Thirteen, how long will you be in seclusion this time?" Li Xunting couldn't help but ask at the end of the conversation.
"It may take over a hundred years, and there may be times during which there will be a break."
Li Qianqing could only give him rough information, and he couldn't guarantee it.
"If you leave the customs during this period, please remember to notify me."
"Yes." Li Qianqing nodded, naturally understanding his eldest granddaughter's little thoughts.
After finishing what should be talked about and what should be explained, Li Qianqing left Li Xunting's cave and began his long retreat.
The main purpose of this retreat is very simple, which is to continuously strengthen one's mastery of the power of heaven and earth.
The accumulation of spiritual power and the cultivation of spiritual consciousness and secret techniques are secondary to his retreat this time, and he will practice it based on the situation.
The retreat time this time was shorter than Li Qianqing thought.
……
It is late autumn in the 610th year of the Qingli calendar.
More than ninety years have passed since Li Qianqing went into retreat.
During the nearly ninety-one years of this retreat, his control over the power of heaven and earth has gone from 10% before the retreat to 70% now. This is the standard for a peak monk in the middle stage of divine transformation who wants to break through to the late stage of divine transformation. .
If you don't reach this level, it will be difficult to enter the late stage of spiritual transformation.
Li Qianqing's ability to quickly control the power of heaven and earth has a lot to do with his previous life. Controlling the power of heaven and earth is not like spiritual power, which needs to be accumulated bit by bit.
"It's almost time to leave seclusion."
In the patriarch's cave, Li Qianqing stopped to comprehend the power of heaven and earth, thereby deepening his control over the power of heaven and earth.
According to the agreement before the retreat, Li Qianqing went to find Li Xunting immediately after leaving the retreat.
Li Xunting was not in retreat, and he successfully met her.
"Grandpa Thirteen, you are out of seclusion." Li Xunting was very happy when she saw Li Qianqing. The last time she felt like this was fifteen years ago.
Different from the time before seclusion, Li Xunting is now in the late Nascent Soul stage.
"Well, I'm out of seclusion." Li Qianqing nodded, and then asked: "Tingting, when did you break through to the late Nascent Soul stage?"
"Just fifteen years ago."
Li Xunting was able to successfully break through to the late Nascent Soul fifteen years ago. There is no doubt that she succeeded in breaking through once.
"Have any new Yuanying monks been born in the family in recent years?" Li Qianqing asked with some uncertainty.
During his retreat, he did not feel any minor thunder tribulations, but this could not rule out the possibility that no monks from the Li family could break through to the Nascent Soul.
To break through in seclusion to reach the Nascent Soul realm, the family does not stipulate that they must go into seclusion in the Evergreen Mountains to break through. Now the family has many places for them to choose from, even going to the misty rainforest to retreat to the Nascent Soul realm.
"Yoshiharu successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Li Xunting first told the good news. In addition to Li Yiqing, there were others in the family who failed to attack Yuanying.
As the second alchemy master in the family, Li Yiqing has been refining the family's high-end elixirs for the past few years. He has refined very few, let alone during his retreat.
During the chat between the two, Li Qianqing also learned about the changes in his family during his retreat.
Except for Li Yiqing who successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, among the Yuanying monks in the family, Li Tongxin and Li Qiuben both successfully entered the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Li Qiuben entered the middle stage of Yuanying twenty-five years ago, while Li Tongxin entered the middle stage of Yuanying two years earlier than Li Qiuben.
Among the family monks, the fastest one to enter the middle stage of Nascent Soul was Li Qianqing, but now he has become Li Tongxin.
When Li Tongxin entered the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it had not been one hundred and fifty years since he entered the Nascent Soul stage.
Among the monks in the Yuan Ying stage of their Li family, there are at most three in the middle Yuan Ying stage, two in the early Yuan Ying stage, and only Li Xunting in the late Yuan Ying stage.
In addition to the Yuan Ying stage monks in his family, Li Qianqing also learned about the Dan formation, foundation building and Qi refining monks.
Judging from the percentage growth of each realm in the family, the fastest growing rate is the alchemy monks. Now the number of alchemy monks in the Li family has reached fifty-two, and the realm where the number of monks has increased the most is definitely the Qi Refining period. You can know this without calculation.
After learning about the family monks, Li Qianqing also learned about the Five Kingdoms, the Misty Rainforest, and other surrounding areas.
Within the influence of their Li family, there was no friction with the Nascent Soul forces. As for the forces below Nascent Soul, Li Qianqing didn't ask much.
The turmoil in the Nascent Soul forces will still have an impact on their Li family. As for what happens to the Core Formation forces, it can be said that it has no impact at all on the current Li family.
As for the situation in the nearby large area, even the Nascent Soul forces there have learned that the Li family has become a god-transforming and immortal-cultivating family.
After that, they should pay close attention to whatever happens to the Li family.
As one of the two major deity-forming and immortal-cultivating families in the Nanming area, it is normal for them to be focused on by the nearby Nascent Soul forces. It would be abnormal if they did not pay attention.
"...many of the monks coming from other areas are here to collect information about our family." Li Xunting continued.
The current intelligence network of their Li family is particularly powerful, and these monks are easily discovered when they collect information about them.
"They want to collect information, so they just need to pay a little attention." Li Qianqing said that they don't need to spend too much time in this regard.
The Nascent Soul forces in the nearby area collect information about their Li family and understand their Li family's movements. They just want to know whether their Li family has any ideas about other areas.
If they have an idea, they must make full preparations.
The influence of the Li family is constantly growing in the Land of the Five Kingdoms. Unlike in other regions, the Nascent Soul forces in other regions will not simply become affiliated with their Li family like the Nascent Soul forces in the Land of the Five Kingdoms. .
The reason why Li Qianqing expressed this view was that he had no ideas about other areas.
The next focus of the Li family is to help more monks in the family ascend to the spiritual world.
Once the channel is established and new space nodes are created, the Li family will definitely be the most influential existence in the mortal world.
The space nodes here can send late-stage Nascent Soul monks to the spiritual world.
Of course, this prerequisite is that Li Qianqing has no problems in the spiritual world.
By that time, if the monks in the late Nascent Soul stage want to go to the spiritual world from this place, they will have to pay at least a huge fee to the Li family. This fee can also help the family develop better.
These are some of Li Qianqing’s ideas. To realize these ideas, we must first obtain the final piece of Tianjin Sand in the mortal world. This will complete the part of the mortal world, and a passage must be established in the spiritual world, using more materials. Li Qianqing went to the spiritual world to collect.
"Grandpa Thirteen, when are you going to collect Tianjin Sand?" Later in the conversation, Li Xunting asked her concern. "End of this year or beginning of next year."
Before going to the end of the world to collect Tianjin Sand, Li Qianqing also had to prepare carefully. This would take several months.
After knowing the approximate time, Li Xunting didn't ask any more questions.
She was only in the late Nascent Soul stage, so she couldn't help much in collecting Tianjin Sand. If she could do something, she would set out with Li Qianqing.
After Li Qianqing left Li Xunting's cave, he began to make preparations in front of the Tianjin Sand. The first step was to plan his route around the end of the world.
The end of the world does not refer to a place, but the boundary of space. Even the boundaries of the small world are very large and the boundary lines are very long.
He judged the places where Tianjin Sha could be fished based on his own experience and marked a few places where he could stay for a while.
Time flies, it is three months later.
Now Li Qianqing is ready to go to the end of the world to collect Tianjin Sand.
Having led the family to this point, the family can still develop very well even without his decision-making. Of course, the family still can't leave him. Now he is the family's anchor.
Without him, the Li family would only be a top Yuan Ying cultivating family, and would not be the current deity cultivating family.
At present, apart from him, the highest-level monk in the family has cultivated to the late stage of Yuanying, from the stage of Yuanying to the stage of transformation. He plans to take Li Xunting to the spirit world and find a good place for her to continue her breakthrough.
It will take more than two hundred years for Li Xunting to reach the peak of Nascent Soul through normal cultivation. For now, there is no rush for this.
This time I went out to look for Tianjin Sand. If I was lucky, it might not take a year to find Tianjin Sand. If I was unlucky, it might take a hundred years to find it.
For Yuanying monks, a hundred years is also a very long time, but for Transformation monks, it is not bad. Many times, the retreat of Transformation monks starts with ten years, and there are many who have been in retreat for hundreds of years.
No one could help in searching for Tianjin Sha. Li Qianqing was the only one who set out. After planning the route, he flew south on the Ming River after leaving the Land of Five Kingdoms.
Minghe's restriction on spiritual energy consumption only applies to Yuanying and monks below.
For the God Transformation monks, even if they fly very high, the consumption of spiritual power will not change much. This requires the God Transformation monks to control the power of heaven and earth.
Above the Ming River, Li Qianqing did not fly very high, but kept a similar distance from the Ming River.
The Ming people living in the Ming River would stay away from him as long as they didn't have brain problems. If you provoke a monk at the level of a god, you are undoubtedly seeking death. If you send him to his door, you will be making materials for others.
The normal speed of the Transformation Monk is much faster than that of the Nascent Soul Monk.
Li Qianqing did not deliberately speed up. Under such circumstances, he arrived at the place where the Minghe River sank in less than two months.
The water from the Ming River here pours into the ground, and then a cycle begins.
Even the Ming people are not willing to stay in the place where the Ming River water is sinking. If you want to go to the Ming Tu Plateau as quickly as possible, dive into the Ming River water, and enter the sunken place, as long as you can reach the destination alive, then that The place is usually the Mingtu Plateau.
"The space is beginning to become chaotic."
In the position where Li Qianqing is now, monks at the Nascent Soul level cannot stay for a long time. Once they stay for a long time, large and small scars will appear on their bodies.
The place where space begins to become chaotic is the end of the world.
This is also the most fringe area in the world for the protection of living beings.
Living things need the protection of the world. Where there is no protection from the world, time and space are chaotic. It is said that even immortals cannot survive in such a place.
Li Qianqing began to mobilize the power of heaven and earth in the world behind him.
The search for Tianjinsha officially begins!
He hoped that he would be lucky enough to find Tianjin Sha quickly and fish it out.
One year has passed like this.
In this year, Li Qianqing found nothing, not even the shadow of Tianjinsha.
"Let's go to the next place." Li Qianqing couldn't help but shook his head.
This situation has been repeated many times.
What was different from before was that when he repeated the process this time, he saw an old man in white robes from a distance.
The old man in white robe obviously noticed him.
The peak of the early stage of becoming a god!
Such a state appears at the end of the world. It is not difficult for Li Qianqing to guess what he is going to do here. The end of the world is very dangerous, but there are also certain opportunities, just like Li Qianqing wants to fish for all the sand in the sky.
At the end of this world, there are also some heaven and earth spiritual objects that can assist the breakthrough from the early stage of divine transformation to the middle stage of divine transformation. Many of the effects of such heaven and earth spiritual objects are to increase the understanding of the power of heaven and earth, so as to better grasp the power of heaven and earth. .
Such heaven and earth spiritual objects are much harder to obtain than Tianjin Sand.
"This Taoist friend, I'm Yu Mingli, what do you call me?" The old man in white robe came over and said hello to Li Qianqing.
Seeing the people's enthusiasm, Li Qianqing also reported his name.
"Li Qianqing."
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Li." Yu Mingli recalled that he had heard of this monk named Li Qianqing who was in the early stage of spiritual transformation.
In recent decades, a family named Li was born in the Nanming area that transformed gods and cultivated immortals. If nothing else, the monk in front of him was the god-transforming cultivator of the Li family.
"Young Daoist Li came here probably to better understand the power of heaven and earth."
"Yes." Li Qianqing nodded lightly.
This monk named Yu Mingli, who was at the peak of his early stage of divine transformation, seemed to have heard a little bit about him in his previous life.
Maybe Yu Mingli was no longer in this world before he entered the divine transformation stage in his previous life. Normally, he should not have successfully ascended to the spirit world. If he had successfully ascended, there would definitely be news about him in the spirit world.
In this world, even a monk in the middle stage of becoming a god has a high chance of failing to ascend when he ascends.
When it comes to ascending from the mortal world to the spiritual world, it stands to reason that it is best and safest to ascend to the late stage of becoming a god.
The number of mortal realms that can train monks to the late stage of divine transformation is undoubtedly the smallest among the mortal realms. Such mortal realms are famous even in the spiritual world, and it would be nice to have a name for the vast mortal realm where he is located. The mortal world of human beings has a certain spread at least among the human race.
His reputation in the mortal world had grown a lot when he was about to reach the Mahayana stage in his previous life, because there were monks who came out of the mortal world and successfully transcended tribulations and ascended to the fairy world. (End of chapter)
